LARSON is SWORN IN.
New Assemblynan Takes the Oath
of His Office.

A. S. Larson, elected to the assem-
bly, to fill out the unexpired term of o.
H. Arosin, was duly sworn in as a
member of the council yesterday. Fire
Commissioner Arosin, who accompanied
the new assemblyman to the city
clerks office, said he had noticed some
reference in the papers to the effect
that he was not full fedged citizen
of the United States, and that owing
to his not securing his second papers
over three months ago, he was not en-
titled to act as a member of the board
of fire commissioners. The statement
Mr.. Arosin said, was not correct, as he
had taken out his second papers in 1894
as the records of the clerk Of the dis
t1ict court would prove. The statement
of Mr. Arosin in this particular is GER
-tainly correct, for the records Of the
papers issued in Clerk Rogers office
show that April IS, 1894, O. Fl. Arosin
was duly made a citizen of the United
States and received his final papers
as such. Mr.. Arosin said there had
been no caucus of the new appointees
to the fire board and would be none.
The commissioners would meet this
evening and organize and he had been
Informed that he would be elected
president Of the board.

SPLIT IN THE DAIRYMEN'S ASSO-
CITATION WILL GO INTO THF
LEGISLATURE.
SCHEME TO CONSOLIDATE
DAIRY AND FOOD COMMISSION
WITH THE STATE ASSOCIATION
AS ORGANIZED.
With Both the Educational and
Police Ideas Combined Therein.

The executive committee of the State
Dairymen's association will hold an
other meeting at the capitol today, and
will no doubt make another demand for
the books of the association on Prof. T.
L. Hacker, the former secretary. The
fight between the two factions in the
state association promises to continue
until the next session of the legisla-
ture, as each side seems unbending,
and the outs seem to think that they
were not properly removed from the
places of trust they held before the
New Ulm meeting last month.
There has been clash for years be-
tween the two ideas represented pri-
n3arily in the dairy and food commits
sion and the state dairymen's associa-
ton. While the employees Of the COM
mission, many of them being practical
dairymen, have been members of the
association, they pursued entirely diff
ferent functions in their two relations,
the purpose of the dairy and food COM
mission being primarily matter Of
police regulation Of the output of
dairymen and other food producers and
distributors On the other hand, the
officers of the dairy association, under
the ledu O1 Oll1cGIS VI MI. I1deCkcI =
ambition, have, it is said, sought to
have this police bureau consolidated
with the educational purpose the state
association has been aimed to con-
serve, the apparent intention having
been, some dairymen mink, to make
Mr.. Hacker the head of the CONSOLE
dated department at a fat salary from
the state.
It has been intimated that a bill for
the consolidation of these two depart
ments would be presented to the next
legislature. and it is certain that if 1t
Is, it will be strenuously opposed, not
only by the advocates of the present
system Of police supervision of dairy
products, but by large element with
in the association, the same element,
perhaps, which secured the nominal
overthrow of Hacker, an eviction
which has been robbed of its results
somewhat by the refusal of Mr..
Hacker to surrender the books and
records of the association.

THAT JAMAICA JUNkET.
MacDOugaIrs Objective Point n
"Graft' for Wealthy Folks.

Some time ago the l o b exposed,
among a number of large bills handed
in by members Of the university faculty
for trips in the nature of vacations,
the iunket of Prof. George e. Mac
Dougall to Jamaica, to visit a botani
cal observatory there. The bill was
discussed in the state auditors office
at that time because of the inability
to connect the trip with any interest
directly affecting Minnesota or the
public welfare, but the reason for the
maintenance Of the observatory has at
last been betrayed by an innocent
writer in Lippincott's magazine for
January. George Ethelbert Walsh, in
an article of some length on botanic
gardens, refers thus to the garden at
Castleton, Jamaica, rich with vanilla,
nutmeg, cloves, caoutchouc, nuX vomi-
ca and other vegetable growths rarely
seen in a growing state in Minnesota

be eXerted upon the inhabitants Of the

sources Of Jamaica and in supplying
the governor and wealthy land owners
with choice specimens of flowers and
plants"

at various times been offered very fattering
sums OF money; One of them is coin, of
five francs value nomnally. struck when
Napoleon was first consul. 1t has on one
side the arms of the republic and on the
other the head of Napoleon. Another of
them is an Italian five lire piece with Ma

BEMENT SHOULD RESIGN.
So Says Mr.. WOIterstorR, of the Wa
ter Board.

Commissioner Wolterstorff of the
water board, is out In an interview in
which he admits that 1t was the in
tention Of Mr.. Hudner and himself to
make a combination with Mr.. Hoyt in
order to defeat Mr.. Bement for re-
election as president of the board and
distribute the clerical positions among
patriotic Republicans just at the pres
ent time out Of a political job. This
action was spoiled by the course taken
by Mr.. Hoyt, who voted with the
other two members of the board in
stead of with Messrs. Wolterstorff ard
HGdner. Mr.. Wolterstorff is quoted as
saying that the honorable course for
Mr.. Bement to pursue after talking in
the manner he did about the mayor
would be to resign. Mayor Doran adj
mits that he was disappointed in the
reorganization of the board and says
he cannot understand how man
claiming to be Republican can vote
upon every opportunity to retain a
large number of notorious Democrats
in office"
Assemblyman Reardon was also dis
appointed at the outcome, and, being
thoroughly posted on legal points,
stated that the meeting held Saturday
afternoon at which the board reor-
gained was Illegal.

manner of the perils of the trip across

as there is, he says, evidences on every
hand Of a once tropical climate in

Assemblyman Johnson and Aid.
kaldunski had a conference with Mr..
Haas yesterday afternoon, and after
this was over gave it out that D. J.
Harrington, of the Eighth ward, would

Silk would be retained as elevator in
srector, but last evening 1t was stated
that Silk would be let out and a new
man appointed.
The name Of James F. Eubank is
mentioned as one Of the two assistant
Inspectors, but Mr.. Haas would neither
