library and reading room, even if the st.
Paul library board will not support it. The
ladies Of the Park have the matter in hand
and have it well under way. Last fall the
necessity Of establishing a branch reading
room and circulating library was urged by
the citizens of Merriam Park, A petition
was presented to the library board asking for
the establishment and maintenance Of such
library. The matter was presented by Con-
gresham Stevens Gen. Childs and Mr.. Para
dis The library board in answer to this
request said they had received similar COM
munications from South st. Paul, East st.
Paul and West st. Paul. and they had no
available money which they could spend in
this direction. The ladies of the Park i'm
medatey became interested in the matter,
and the presidents Of the several literary
clubs Joined their forces and talked the mat
ter over. A cooperative club was organized
for the purpose Of raising money to establish
this library series of entertainments was
arranged two Of which have already been
given and quite sum Of money has been
realized A building has been secured on
Prior avenue and reading room will be
opened the first Of next month. 1t will be

ment is opened. There are about 100 mem
bers of the cooperative club. and each one

DOING LITTLE WORK.
Street Commissioners Are Question
ed on the Subject.

The street commissioners having
charge Of the 800 men and so teams
now engaged in cleaning the streets
We're called before the board Of public
works, yesterday, relative to the charge
that the men were not doing the proper
amount Of work. The commissioners
claimed that the men, or a majority OF
them, labored under the impression
that if they did too much work it
would result in there being less employ
ment for other crews that followed.
the board of public works decided to
give the commissioners full power in
the matter and hereafter when any Of
the men showed a disposition to shirk
the street commissioners were ordered
to discharge them at once.
One of the city officials in speaking
Of the matter yesterday said the men
employed on the street force received
$1.50 per day, which was at least 20 per
cent more than was paid laborers by
other corporations. On this basis the
men should do a deal more work than
they did, but so far as he observed this
was not the case. Whether this was
due to the failure of the street commits
sioners to exercise proper judgment in
outlining the work or the disposition
of the men to shirk he was not pre-
pared to say. One thing he was certain
of, and that was the city was paying
too much money for the work done.

INTEREST ON STREET LAMPS.
Whole Question Referred to the
Corporation Attorney.

The resolution directing the st. Paul
Gas company to remove the gas lamp
posts out of service from the streets
and providing that the city should pay
no more interest on posts not in use,
was considered by the aldermanic COM
mittee on streets yesterday afternoon.
F. W. NJ. Cutcheon, representing the
company, said the agreement had been
reached between the city and company
some years ago by which the interest
charged was simply on the lamp posts
and not on the mains service pipes and
burners. If the city was anxious to 90
into the courts the company would
take the ground that under the charter
granted to them they were entitled to
charge interest on other improvements
than the posts. He suggested that the
matter be referred to the corporation
attorney for an opinion as to the rights
Of the city, and this was agreed to.
The ordinance introduced by Aid.
Kenny, designating Smith park as a
public market, was also referred to the
city attorney for an opinion as to the
rights of the council to so designate
the property.
The street car ordinances and those
relating to depot loops were laid over
without discussion.

Ument association, G. A. r., and it Is
expected that a neat sum will be real
lied for this worthy and patriotic pur-
pose. 1t is particularly fitting, it IS
felt, that the national guard should
take an active interest in the erection
of monument in the capital city OF
Minnesota to the memory of the SOL
diers who died in defense of the Union,
who preserved our flag unsullied, with
out a star Obscured." All companies 81

TANKENOFF's ALL RIGHT.
William Hamm Says It's a Quiet,
Orderly lace.


The committee on license from the assem-
bly, took up the application of Mrs a. Tank
enom for a saloon license at 454 Robert street,
yesterday afternoon. There a large aud
fence present and Assemblyman DAILY, who is
chairman of the committee, announced that
so far as he concerned he not going
to be dictated to by the Citizens league or its
attorney. The league he said, was simply
trying to make the administration ridiculous,
and he for one was not going to be bothered
by them. Mr. ReaTdOn asked if the applica-
ton was in the name Of Mrs. Tankenoff. Will
liam Hamm, of the Hamm Brewing company,
said Mr. Tankenoff had failed in business
judgments against him the application had
been made in his wifes name The saloon
was being conducted by Mr.. Tankenoff, and
for the last three years the license had been
taken out in the same manner. Mr.. Hamm,
who said he represented Tankenoff offered to
prove by the police that the saloon had been
conducted in a quiet and orderly manner.
The objections filed by Mr.. DOty were largely
technical and amounted to nothing. AS to
the surety company being on the bond this
plan had been agreed to by a conference be-
tween the mayor and Mr.. Morgan, who at
that time represented the league. No women
were allowed in the saloon, and as to the
selling of liquors after hours and on Sundays
the same charge could be made against the
other 300 saloons now being conducted. Mr..
Doty brought in a stenographer and said he
was ready to have the testimony taken and
was prepared to submit evidence as to the
objections made in the protest which had been
filed. Messrs. Mabon and Daily decided that
they did not want to hear the evidence but
would refer the matter to the assembly which
could, if it desired order the committee to
hear the testimony. By a vote of to l.
tee decided to report favorably on the grant
ing of the aDDlicatiOn.

resident of this city. The warrant was signed
by justice Of the peace of Pine county, and
was issued for the purpose of bringing Mr..
Swartz back to Pine county to answer to
certain charge lodged against him by man
named Mckenzie. It evidently grew out of
some business transactions between the two.
The warrant set forth the charge in this
unique fashion:
R. Mckenzie made complaint to me that o.
S. Swartz did misrepresent his business to
me and did defraud me out of $140 and did
represent that he the Emigration asso-
citation, and that he got load of wood of
me for which he did not account.

down to st. Paul with the warrant in his
pocket, and proceeded to enforce it. Mr..

than he hired a lawyer and instituted habeas
corpus proceedings The petition set forth
the charge upon which Swartz was arrested
with greater particularly than the warrant
After SwartZ had been discharged he said
ne was willing to go up to Pine county, as
ne had nothing to fear and could easily dis
prove the charge brought against him by
Mckenzie. SwartZ added by way of explana-
ton that Mckenzie and he had had a little
trouble and that Mckenzie had shot at him
three times, but had fortunately missed him
every time.
