they had spoken James Gray
said that he had never seen
so many aldermen and ex-alder-
men travel so far in the cold win
ter to see water. He added, amid the
laughter, that he had ascertained the
reason. G. NJ Foote was called and
honored City Engineer Cappelen for his
perseverance and hard work, and Mr..
Cappelen was called upon amid cheers.
He did not refer to the success he had
achieved in the construction of the res
ervo1r system, but said that for $780,
600 filter system can be erected, which
will give Minneapolis almost absolutely
pure water. He stated that the city
was saving 40 cents per gallon on every
gallon of water from the reservoir over
the cost of pumping it through the
mains with engines fed with coal.
Upon the conclusion Of his remarks
three rousing cheers were given for
him. Ex-AId. Gray. the veteran in the
city's service, who inaugurated the sys-
tenn, and to whom honor was paid by
the party for his identification with the
reservoir movement in it's incipiency,
was received with cheers. He told of
the progress of the work in its early
stages.
The party then left the reservoir and
took the stages for the rolling mills,
mile distant. The mills were in active
operation, and work was begun on the
first order for iron given by the 500
railroad. The aldermen took especial
delight in watching the great chunks
OF white hot metal being taken from
the huge furnaces and pushed through
the rolls, shooting sparks like rockets
as the rollers grasped them. Through
the various rolls which the metal
passes it becomes smaller in size, until
it is turned out long rod of the de-
sired dimensions. The spectators per-
sisted in getting in the way of the red
hot metal as the expert operatives
were handling it like taffy, and some of
them got burned, but as they stood
locking at the nnC gnificent sight, doubt
less many of them failed to realize that
the rolling mill is one Of the greatest
Industries of Minneapolis, and will add
to the general prosperity and prestige
Of the entire Northwest
Shivering and tired after their after
noon of sightseeing, the aldermen re-
turned home in the special car, doubt
less proud of the fact that they are per-
mitted to serve as the lawmakers of a
city with such a bright future before it.

GOODNOw AND MATRIMoNY.
Curtis Makes Some Comments in the
Chicago Record.

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-The Record this MORN
ing contained article in the w. E. Curtis
series, in which the following remarks about
John Goodnow are made:
Il have some interesting news from Japan.
1t is reported that John Goodnow, of Min
neapolis, United States consul general at
Shanghai has recently married Miss Eliza
beth Beaver, OF New York city. and came all
the way from his post to Yokohoma to at
tend the wedding. Miss Beaver is unknown
to Mr.. Goodnow's friends in this country
They never heard of her before.
Miss Belle Gordon, of Minneapolis was
supposed to be his wife and accompanied him
to China, but Mr.. Goodnow's matrimonial
affairs have been rather uncertain and sensa-
tional. He has had experience in both ends
of a divorce court and his friends are I'M
certain whether Miss Beaver is No. 8 or
No. A."
Curtis tells some stories of how Good
now bluffed President Mckinley and Senator
Frye, and winds up
Shanghai and although the foreign colony
there is no. very particular, he was not
received as cordially as he might otherwise
have been. He injured himself, too, by
discharging all the old employees of the con-
sulate general who had the confidence of the
community, and were popular in business and
social circles. But Goodnow's attractive
personality soon thawed the ice and he is
now one Of the best-liked men at the clubs
although his new-found friends are not yet
willing to introduce him to their wives and
daughters"

FRESH FISH TRUST.
Five Million Dollar Combination
Deal successfully Closed.

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-Edward Corbin, of Chi
Cago, has contaminated a combination of the
twenty corporations controlling the fresh
water fisheries of the great lakes of the
United States and Canada. The deal was con-
summated at a secret conference held in this
city last week. the contracts passing through
the office of the British consulate today. The
entire amalgamation is taken over by an Eng
lish company capitalized at S., O00 600. The cash
consideration IS $2,50O,O 600, represented by
debenture bonds underwritten in England
and by group OF Dutch bankers
headed by Noordyne, o ( Amster-
dam, Holland. The new organization
will control the distribution of $50 OOO, 900
pounds of fish per annum, and will operate
and establish cold storage plants in New
York, Buffalo, Erie, Cleveland, Sandusky To-
ledo. Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee Cincinnati,
indianapolis Pittsburg, st. Paul, Minneapolis
Duluth, Kansas City, St. Louis and Denver
and freezing plants at the fishing stations
throughout the chain of lakes and on Lake
Winnipeg, Manitoba. The parties interest ed
deny that the combination will operate in any
sense as a trust and maintain that 1t will
result in great benefit to the government and
consumers inasmuch as the former will be
saved hundreds of thousands OF dollars an
nually spent in replenishing and preserving
the fisheries and the latter by maintaining
reasonable price at all seasons Of the year.

HURON, S. D., Dec. 31.-Supt. Sher-
rard, of the children's home, at Sioux
Falls, arrived here yesterday direct
from the Cheyenne Indian agency.
with him was a a white girl about
fourteen years of age, of whom men
ton was made a few days ago, whom
he was taking to the home Some
months since, while the Rev o. H.
Sprout, a Methodist clergyman of
Pierre, was on a trip through the Great
Sioux reservation, he found at the
home of an Indian family, something
IKE a hundred miles distant from the
agency, on Cherry creek, this white
enid. He soon became convinced that
she did not belong to the family claim
ing her, but was unable to ascertain
anything definite as to Who she was or
where she belonged. The child said
fer name was Anna, and that she was
taken by the Indians a long time ago.
Those having her declared her name to
be Anna Russell, but further than that
they would give no information main
tanning that she belonged to them In
Vesugation was continued by Agent
Couchman, whose attention had been
called to the case by Mr.. Sproul, and
the department at Washington was
advised of the discovery. Senator Kyle
was conferred with and he succeeded
in obtaining an order from the secre-
tary of the interior for the removal of
the girl from the Indian school at
the Cheyenne agency, where she had
been taken, to the home at Sioux Falls
It is known that Immediately following
the massacre led by Sitting Bull, a few
years ago, a band of Sioux Indians
fled to the Northwest country, remain
ing some months in Manitoba. On
their return they had this white child
with them, and whom they have ever
since carefully guarded keeping her
quite apart from the Indian children
and from the gaze of visitors. The
girl is intelligent and fairly good look
ing; she has dark hair and eyes, and
soft pleasant voice. Her general
appearance indicates that she is of
refined extraction. Efforts are being
made to ascertain more of the child,
but the Indians decline to give any
information. For the present the girl
will be cared for at the home in Sioux
Falls.

No Prospective Damages.

The commission of appraisers in connec-
ton with the 4sIinnetonka dam matter held
a short session yesterday. No evidence was
taken, but the time was devoted to the argu-
ment of legal questions, Ringing upon the
height of water maintained by the Burwell
mill dam. Assistant County Attorney Smith
stated that he thought it should be regarded
fundamental that only actual damages be
assessed and no consideration be taken of
prospective losses, such claimed by H.
F. Brown. 1t was agreed by the appraisers
the mill power and homestead of Mr.. Bur-
wei, should be appraised separately
The decision of the commissioners will
doubtless be appealed to the district court,
whatever the damages allowed, in which
case the matter will be finally fought out
and settled.
