Reform Secured by the Residents of

The Burr Street Improvement society held

disturbed the residents of that district who
were not interested in the movements of the
locomotives, and the society took the matter
up with the result that now a whistle is
seldom heard With the vote of thanks was
coupled request that the superintendent do
whatever he can to abate the smoke nuisance.
The engines come up into the shade of the
Burr street bridge to fire up and the smoke
that attends the operation greatly distres es
the citizens.

That Seems to BE About the Best He

1t seems to be in the line of County At
torney Andersons duty to refuse to audit the
fees of Sheriff Wagener's office, though those
fees are identical with the fees claimed by
former Sheriff Chapel and allowed by the
county attorney during the first month Of his
tenure of office. He allowed the fees for the
month of December, 1886, as they were sub
mitted. He said last night that he did 1t
because his predecessor in office, Pierce But
Ter, was good enough precedent. Last night
at the conference that was held in h 8 Office
he said he was probably wrong IN that audit,
and that he would have to disa.low the
claims of Sheriff Wagner for the same ser
vices.
board, Messrs. Kellerman, Quehl and Mor.tz,
were present at the conference, but they
were not much enlightened In consequence Of
that. T. D. O'Brien represented tn sheriff,
who was also present, the county attorney
had the other end of it. All Of the bills for
sheaiff's fees were in evidence, and the con-
ference only resulted in leaving the PROPOSE
ton as 1t when it begun-that there
should be a stipulation as to the points at
issue.
1t was shown that the total claim of the
sheriff for fees was $22, 635, and of this claim
the county attorney was willing to allow the
sum of 9,525. OF this sum the sheriff showed
that he had turned in in cash the sum Of
81, 109, but that made no particular diferenc 9
! with Mr.. Anderson. He was willing to admit
that the sheriff was also entitled to ST, COS for
bailffs in the district court to 81, 400 for jail
! ors and night watchmen, and to possibly
81, 600 more on various proposit ons. On the
accounting, the sheriff is to allow the coun-
ty the sum of s19,525 paid by the county for
salaries last year. On the accounting the
sheriff is entitled to receive about $500 diff
ference, but if Mr.. Anderson makes good his
contention the county is likely to have some
thing coming from the sheriff
Mr.. Anderson generally takes the ground
that where there is not statutory provis-
ion for the payment of the sheriff for s rvices
then he is not entitled to receive anything.
If this is made good lunatics will have to
find their own way into the probate court,
FOR Mr. Anderson was dlsinclined to allow
the claim for fees for taking them in. There
is also a contention about the right of the
sheriff to fees taking prisoners into the mu-
nicipal court room, except in specified cases.
At the conferences it was agreed that the
sheriff should prepare a classification of the
fees for the taking of prisoners into court
and put the other contested claims under
classified heads. The conference will get to-
gether again on Saturday. when this will
have been DONE and an attempt will be made
to straighten out the muddle.

WANT THE ROAD FIXED.

State Fish Commissioners Say Will

Executive Agent Fullerton yesterday
addressed a communication to Mayor
kiefer, requesting that he call the at
tention of the board of public works to

roa EeaoIIg to the Willow brook fish
hatchery, down the side of the bluff
from the Indian mounds. Inasmuch
as the fish hatchery is place of public
interest and is visited by many daily
Mr.. Fullerton considers it of great i'm
portance that this Improvement be
made.
the state commission experience
great difficulty in getting their wagons
up and down the hill on account of the
miserable condition of the road. 1t is
the only road by which the hatchery
can be reached and the commission are
frequently compelled to take shipments
of fish down town via the Burlington

meeting Of the state county bo,1,d-

upon the propositions coming from the

The commission is composed of the

VIII be issued by the members of the
board calling the attention of the peo-

the question a place on the ticket.
In the city of Duluth the sentiment
seems to be that the proposition to d.

cal. and originated by the Democrat
Popultsts anxious to cut off the large
Republican range vote which In the
past has controlled the political destinv
of this county. There are a. na1rol,.sr. ~
other questions involved, but the noltt-

NEW RASPBERRY FOUND.
Minnesota Has Produced a New Va.
r1ety of the Fruit

Prof. Otto Lugger is busy Just now
making out health certificates to the
various nursery men and fruit growers
throughout the state. Prof. Lugger
feels certain that the coming session Of
the legislature will see the passing Of
the bill he SO earnestly advocated two
years ago. This is in regard to the
shipping of injured fruit Nearly all
other states are protected by the law
In that no imperfect fruit may be ship
ped inside their boundaries Mime
sofa, on the contrary, has no such law.
and all the poor fruit from other states
can be shipped to her. while she is
obliged to keep her own imperfect ar
ticle. The bill was strongly pushed nv
Prof. Ilugger two years ago but was
defeated by those who are ready to
support 1t today.
The orchards never bore more plen-
tifully than this season. There are ap-
pies. fine ones, in plenty, and only the
raspberries of the small fruits failed.
Minnesota nursery men have pro-
duced a new raspberry this year which
is just now in blossom and will hear
fruit during September and to frost
time. 1t is purple berry, tart In flavor
and not easily grown

Al KITTSON'S HERITAGE.
New Question Raised as to His Share
of Wealth.


of Wealth.
Another turn was given to the Kilt
son estate yesterday by the commence
ment of suit by receiver Samuel Nor
rfson against the st. Paul Trust COM
pany, the trustee, to compel the COM
pany to pay to him the sum Of 1898 now
claimed to be due Al Kittson as his
monthly allowance for the past two
months.
The suit is brought to establish the
rights of the receiver appointed by the
district court. 1t has been centended
that the administration Of the estate
is In the probate court, and that the
receiver has no standing.
The trust company wants to know
to whom the money is to be paid.
Kfttson wants to stand as a ward Of
the probate court and get the money
himself, or by his guardian and wife.
The new suit is expected to send the
matter along some distance toward a
final settlement.

MISSING FROM THE FILES.
Records Lost I'm the Allemannia
Bank Case.

The legality of the proceedings look
ing to the reorganization of the ALE
MAMMA bank is involved in an action
that was instituted before Judge Otis
yesterday The action was in the form
OF petition asking that the officials
of the bank be made to show cause
why an order issued by Judge Kelly
May Is, 1897, should not be restored to
the files in the case.
1t is claimed that the order disap-
peared from the files, and that 1t was
a positive refusal of the petition for
the reorganization of the bank. 1t
was issued by Judge Kelly and is no
longer a part of the record. 1t was
shown that no attempt had ever been
made to modify or discharge the order.
and that 1t had simply been ignored
in further proceedings, and it was
claimed that the steps taken after the
issuance Of the order were Of no avail.
Judge Otis issued the order to show
cause, making it returnable at the first
special term in September.
