It has not the same elements of passion and In

productions. is none the less u very notable
achievement. With tho simplest Of plots. and u

supersubtle analysis OF motives, and ceaseless

RAND'S RESOLUTION DEAD.
Indefinitely Tabled by the Commit
tee en- Printing.

Aid. Rand's resolution, which was
given birth at the last meeting of the
city council which, if adopted was to
provide for a StenOgraphic report OF
every utterance made by alderman or
city official during a session. the same
to be printed in the official proceedings,
was destined to even a briefer interval
of existence than had been expected
by those who ridiculed the idea. At
a meeting of the joint committee on
printing and ways and means, of which
Aid. John Crosby was chairman yeSter>
day Afternoon, action on the resolution
was indefinitely postponed, Aid. Rand
voting no.
In opposing the resolution Aid Dick
inson, who has a few ideas on the sub
ject of printing, said that with the
higher rates of printing, which this
years official paper charged for pub
fishing official proceedings, the bill per
month would be at least $4,000 Aid.
Rand insisted in reply that even if the
printing bill was increased 81, 500 per
month, the plan would in the end
prove to be the best kind of economy.
The other members Of the committee
failed to see the matter in any such
light, and when City Clerk Lydiard
said that an assistant clerk would be
needed in case the resolution was
adopted the committee decided to post
pone action Indefinitely.
Aid. Kiichli's resolution by the adop-
ton of which the city attorney would
be instructed to institute proceedings
against the bondsmen of the city treas
urer to recover the 100000 lost to the
city in the State bank failure, came be
fore the committee on ways and means.
The question came up as to whether
Treasurer Haugans or Treasurer Kort-
guards bondsmen should be held re-
spOnsible. Aid. Kiichli replied that the
question could only be settled by the
court. Chairman Crosby stated that
Treasurer Haugan had promised to at
tend the meeting, but owing to. other
business had been unable to do so.
City Comptroller Nye stated that
Mr.. Haugan was the only man under
the present system who could tell any
thing about where the funds were at
the present time. AS the aldermen de-
sired to get a statement from the city
treasurer, an adjournment until Friday
at o'clock was taken.
Another matter which came up for
consideration was a petition from the
board Of education asking that half OF
the 100000 school bonds voted on at
the last election be sold as soon as
possible by the council. This matter
was also postponed.

with the following words: 1T cannot
be denied that two requisites are indis-

penSed with without danger of the

ton of prison in all it's departments;
the second the care, vigilence, expert

The grand jury concluded the exam
ination of the crowd of witnesses in
waiting last evening, and for the first
time in many weeks the Railways have
been clear of those in waiting.
AT o'clock the jury returned in
open court and handed in three bulky
indictments and a smaller one After
this, they retired for the night, with
the intention of again meeting this
morning. AS there are no witnesses to
be examined that Is known Of, it Is
expected that the jury will spend the
morning in the discussion of the vol
umes of evidence before it for the pur-
pose of deciding as to whether or not
other indictments shall issue in the
case of Haney ct al. 1t was given out,
however, that the jury would have
some more in the same line later on

How Murphy Got the Bricks.

The Philadelphia Record credits to John H.
Fow-evidently a man Of mark, but whose
fame, 1t must with humiliation be confessed,
has not reached us-the telling of a truly ad-
mirable story about two rival contractors, Cas-
ey and Murphy, who were putting up rows Of
houses on different sides of a downtown
street. One afternoon Murphy discovered
that he was running short of bricks, and that
the would have to knock off work for the
rest of the day unless fresh supply could be
obtained Now, Casey, on the other side
of the street, was well supplied with bricks,
and his were working like beavers. So
Murphy went over to Casey and said Dan,
Olive run out O. bricks. Lind tn loan av
about foive hun'erd an ON give thin back
to ye to-morrer." But Casey was in bad
humor, and he wouldn't lend single brick
"O'ill git aven wild We fur that, Dan Casey
said Murphy, and he went back to his men.
Min said he, we're short O. bricks. Now
Casey's min are wurkin' stiddy, but if we don't
git some av his bricks We'll have ter knock
off. So do yez all SHAY here. while Oh go up
above in this buildin' an when Oh yell three
questions to yez, do yez all answer 'Yis.'
Dye see?" 'All roight, boss,' said the men,
so Murphy went up into the unfinished build
ing, and yelled: Are .yez all down there,
MINI" "Yis," replied the men. Are yez all
workin?" Wis" DO yez all belong to the A.
P. Az" ''Yis." And in two minutes the 800
bricks came over.

ROAST FROM GRAND JURY.
report on the Ease With Which
Jail Breakers Make ESCAPE.

The grand jury has submitted it's
report TO the district court in the mat
ter of the unsafe condition of the coun-
ty Jail, but in the report SAYS nothing
TO show that it was able to discover
When the bars were cut, or whose fault
II was that they were allowed to be-
come so. In view of the fact that sus-
p1clons have been allowed to get out
regarding this matter, casting reflec-
lions upon certain officials, the report
In this respect is disappointing.
The report is quite a lengthy docu-
ment, which admits that it was drawn
up and submitted to Secretary Hart.
of the state board of correction and
charities, which probably accounts for
slight roast upon the county com
mission in the following terms: This
body cannot conceal its profound re-
gret and great surprise that no heed
was given to so important a communi-
cation from so eminent a source upon
question so vital to the people Of this
city and state" referring to the letter
written by Secretary Hart to the board
Some time ago, at a time when the
county commission was hurting adjec-
tives at Mr.. Hart for his very bad ad-
vice in the matter Of Jail building.

From word received by Sheriff Phil
fps from Springfield, ILL.,, yesterday af-
ternoOn something is likely to drop
in the case of Charles F. Haney before
long. Following is the telegram re-
ceived by the sheriff from James H.
7Ege:
Just got extradition papers. Answer
Bloomington. Charles there"
This telegram is contradictory to
others received last night, which state
that Haney is still at Normal, and is
in such a state Of physical weakness
that his removal will be impossible for
at least two weeks. Sheriff Philips stat
ed that the last he had heard from
Eye Haney was up and about the
house and seemed much improved Yes
terday's telegram says he is at Bloom
1ngton, three miles from Normal, and
If he was able to travel that distance,
1t would seem that the officers would
be able to bring him back to Mime
apOlis.
Sheriff Philips stated last night that
ne knew no more regarding the matter
than what was contained in his teIe-
gram. The message asked for an an
sWer to be sent to Bloomington, but
none was sent, as its necessity could
not be seen. The sheriff said that Dep
uities Eye and Callahan had been sent
to Normal to watch Haney's move
ments and to arrest him and bring him
back to Minneapolis as soon as the OBJ
stacles, legal and physical, had been
overcome. The reQuisiton papers hav-
ing been issued, it would now seem that
all that remained was for the officers
to place their man under arrest and
to bring him back as soon as he is
able to stand the journey.
No further word had been received at
the sheriff's office up to late hour.
Sheriff Philips seemed under the i'm
preston that Haney would be back
In MinneapO polls within a very short
time, understanding, as he did, that the
eX-city clerk was in much improved
condition. However, later word received
indicates that Haney is still too sick
TO be removed at present, and that all
that can be done by the officers will be
TO place their man under arrest and
wait until they can bring him back to
the scene of his alleged crooked work.

MRS. EDWARDS NEW NOSE.
1t Was Constructed by a SkiIIfui
Surgeon From one Of Her
Fingers.

PHILADELPHIA, JAM 10.-As a result of
skillful surgery by DR.. Joseph P. Tunis at
the Methodist hospital Mrs. John Edwards,
Of Chester, now has a new nose and fairly
prepossessing countenance. The third fin
ger is missing from Mrs. Edwards right
hand, but it is now a part Of her face, for it
was grated there to form a much-needed
nose for her
Mrs. Edwards was admitted to the hospital
late in the fall to be treated for a cancer
Gus growth. This ailment was checked but
1t had left an unsightly blemish where the
patients nose had been. Mrs. Edwards
grieved over the facial disagreement, and
when DR.. Tunis suggested a remedy she i'm
mediately agreed to undergo the operation
The patient was etheriZed and the operation
was begun. DR.. Tunis cut off the end Joint
of the third finger of her right hand and dis
articulated the remaining two bones. The
! hand was held in position over Mrs. Ed
words face, and the bonless flesh was laid
over the damaged nose and stitched to the
| face. Bandages CT crinoline, spread with
plaster of paris, were wrapped about the
PATIENTS body, holding the arm firmly in
place Her hand almost entirely covered her
face and 1t was necessary to feed her by
means of a tube inserted into the left corner
CT her mouth Occasionally the bandages
were removed. but the hand was never al
lowed to change its position.
At the end of three weeks the finger was
| firmly grated to the face and Mrs Edwards
left the hospital with nose hardly less per-
feet in form than the original.
