FOR KERw1N.s PLACE.
Lively Scramble to Get on the Board
of Control.

There will be vacancy on the board
Of control July 1, the term of John
Kerwin, one Of the members, expiring
at that time. It having been given out
that Mr.. KerWin would not be a can
didate for reappointment, candidates
for the position are spring1ng up like
mushrooms. The statement, however,
that Mr.. Kerwin would not accept
reappointment, Is not authoritative,
and while the retiring member Of the
board Is not making any great efforts,
it is understood that If the position Is
again rendered him he will not decline
to serve.
The appointee, whoever he may be,
will be appointed by the judges Of the
district court, or a majority of them,
for term Of three years, and the
salary is fixed by law at the munificent
sum of $3.50 per year. OF that amount
the county pays $500 and the city $3.50.
j. c. Hanley, who "cuts considerable
Ice" in local politics. especially at
primary meetings in the Third ward,
is a candidate for the place on the
board which is now held by Mr.. Ker-
win. Mr.. Hanley being a man of the
people, and having had more or less
experience In ward politics. is now Sc
curing names to a petition which re-
quests the Judges of the district court
to take under favorable consideration
the name OI y. u. f1dIltey, Wuen the
matter of choosing a member Of the
board of control comes up. Mr.. Han
ley has always been a Third ward Re-
publican and has at various times en-
deavored to break into the city council
from the bailiwick in which he lives.
He has been an important factor in
Republican primary elections in the
Third ward for years, although he
is now credited with having leanings
toward the Populistic party. The petit
ton favoring Mr.. Hanley's appoint
ment is being signed by numerous per-
sons, and if a preponderance of sigma
lures will have any weight with the
judges who make the appointment Mr..
Hanley will be in it.
The friends Of Capt. M. J. O'Connor
are also doing some quiet missionary
work in his behalf and the judges will,
when the proper time comes, have his
name presented to them as candi-
date for the position made vacant by
the retirement of Mr.. Kerwin. Capt.
O'Connor is an old soldier and has held
various positions of trust in the city
In former years. He was for several
terms city clerk, and more recently was
connected with the city health depart
ment Capt. O'Connor has qualifica-
tions, aside from war services, which
his friends claim should secure him
the appointment in case new man Is
to be appointed to the board. It is
understood that should Capt. O'Connor
be appointed to the board there will
probably be change in the secretary
ship of the board, which position is
now held by Oliver j. Tong.

MINNESOTA DAIRYMEN WHO WANT
TO SELL BUTTER TO AN AD-
VANTAGE
NOW HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY.
OPENING SALES DAY OF THE MIN
NESOTA BOARD OFF TRADE
ASSURES
SUCCESS OF THE ORGANIZATION.
The Quantity offered for Sale Salts
factory to tie Promoters and
Prices Were Good as Well.

The Minnesota Dairy Board of Trade
of ST. Paul is an established fact, and, if
the initial "sales day." held yesterday,
is to be taken as criterion, the sue
cess of the new organization is assured
beyond any peradventure.
The opinion, not only of the enthu-
siastic st. Paul business men who were
on hand to witness the start of the new
enterprise, but of the consignors or
one of Minnesota's star products, the
creamerymen and buttermakers, was
that the existence Of the board will
still further insure the high place the
North Star state has for some years oc-
cupied in the estimation Of the buyers
of high grade butter for Eastern con-
sumption. The butter placed on the
market yesterday is what Is called
guaranteed extras" In other words
the very best that can be made, and
which has been limited in amount in
the New York and general Eastern
market only owing to the fact that
there were no good means Of bringing
together the producer and purchaser.
The new board of trade will do this,
and the result can be seen at glance.
There were sold yesterday, in spite Of
several slight obstacles and disappOint-
ments, 1877 packages of the best butter
made, in amount 11,220 pounds, which
brought between 1874 and IA cents per
pound. Adding to this the freight to
New York, and the figure is Is cents, or
exactly what the telegraphic dispatches
received during the afternoon at the
board gave as the ruling price of the
yellow commodity at the metropolis.
This gladdened the hearts Of the cream
erymen, although some Of them al
lowed their consignments to be record
ed as 'unsold" at the call time when
the bids were in many cases 1S and
1872 cents.
The scene was rather new one In
st. Paul. Men who have established
successful creameries through the
state, and one or two from the Dakotas,
for the matter Of that, met and chatted
with the local commission and produce
men and the representatives of the
Eastern buyers. President Henry
Ames Of the board, was on hand bright
and early from Litchfeld Prof. T. L.
Hacker, Of the dairy hall at the state
agricultural school, was an interested
spectator. Among others in attendance
Were:
President Ames Secretary Beck Secretary
Stlne, Commercial club; A. S.. Talmadge, e.

Day Exercises.
The interest in the senior play al
the university has been greater than
usual this year, on account of the an
nouncement of the class of its title,
"Garibattleder" In past years the
name of the play has been kept as a
class secret until the production class
day. The play is staged this year under
the personal direction of T.. F. O'Mal-
ley, who has had fifty years exper-
ience as stage manager of some Of the
best companies on the road. The cast
includes the whole class, numbering
about 130 students. They are rehears-
ing day and night this week, In order
to present first-class production Mon
day afternoon, when they make their
first appearance. The play will be CIV
en- in the Lyceum theater, Minneapo-
lis, and is said to be one of the best
entertainments in every respect ever
offered for class day.
A number of chorus dances and
songs, written especially for the occa-
sion, will be given during the perform
ance The dancers have been trained
by Miss McCullech, who has more than
a local reputation as solo dancer.
Willard Pa,tten, the composer of Isaiah,
has had charge Of the singing and will
make this leading feature.

ploy Of the Omaha railroad, living at
706 Lee avenue, was badly crushed by
the cavdng Of an embankment at

brought to st. Paul on work train and

possibility of serious internal injury,
which could not be positively determin-
ed last night.
Hammer narrowly escaped instant
death through the accident, and was
for twenty minutes partially buried
by the falling earth. He was also
menaced by death from second source,
