present amount of the working fund, 50, 4S7 IT.
The list OF securities shows that the funds
craving interest amount to $s6,70O, with a
We again express our qualification that the
lot owners so heartily approve the efforts of
the trustees to beautify the grounds, by their
patronage of the greenhouses and the pur-
chase of flowers for their lots and vases Our
sales for the current year amount to s., $751;
As. usual the treasurer's report is very full
and explicit, and we hope will answer all
questions that may be asked
The amount of work done In the cemetery
as shown by the supe"intendent's very full
and detailed report Of operations will be
more fully realized by any one who makes
tour of the grounds and observes year by
year, the smoothing down of the rough places
lllC improvement OL the avenues ana the
new paintings Of trees and shrubs
We venture to say that the grounds con-
stantly improve in beauty, and we hope VIII
continue to challenge the admiration of all

to the new system, as also did the
plumbing inspector In the building in
spector's office. DR.. Stone held that
the new plan was an experiment; that
1t would allow sewer gas to escape in
the building and If it was allowed to
be connected with the sewer it might
prove detrimental to the health of the
300 pupils in the school. The clause
providing for it's removal, IL It was
unsanitary, within ten days, DR.. Stone
said, would be like locking the stable
door after the horse had been stolen.
Aid. Bantz, who fathered the resolu-
ton in the board, said all the plumbing
was in and but two hours work re-
NAMED to connect the same.
George N. Gerlach, superintendent Of
repairs in the public schools, who was
also member of the building commit
tee which had charge of the parochial
school, had stated that the new sys-
tenn was better than the one provided
for by the city ordinance. DR.. Stone,
the city plumbing inspector, Mr.. Ger
ZACH and the contractor who has the
work Of putting in the plumbing, will
be given a chance to explain at the
assembly meeting Thursday night

loss But after 1t has been boiled down
TO good syrup, the accident is q
greater loss. You or I may vote
wrong at the primary and the error
Is OF minor Importance, but when a
delegate to a party convention, repre-
senting. supposedly, the judgment Of
poth or US and several hundred others,
makes nistalzs or sells out, It Is
serious. There was not q citizen Of
minneapolis Whoshad anything to say
about the nomination Of the officers
recently elected In this state aside from
governor. TIE governorship was the
only matter voted on at the Repub-
hcan primaries here.
MR. LG9lTNER SAYS NAY.
The adoption Of the New York
form OF the Australian ballot In Min
nesota," said W. II. Lghtner, would,
In my opinion, not be advisable from
any standpoint. The chief objection Is
that 1t provides for marking the bal
lots in two ways. This in itself is
sufilc1ent reason, I think, why the
New York form should not be adopt
ed. In fact, do not think any change
should be made In the form of state
ballot now used. It cannot be improv-
ed upon.
In the first place the Minnesota
3Se-lO OeAAOl dIIQ sln6 TICKET, i
arranged after the New York plan,
would be SO bulky as to be almost
unmanageable. In its present form it
Is plain and ineligible to the voter
who has the names OF all of the can
didates for each office before him
when he is making choice. In the
New York form the voter must run
clear across the ballot to see who are
the candidates for the different Offices
"a i
plainly after the name Of the party
candidate on our present ballot so that
tne voter can know what ticket he Is
voting without the confusion OF signs
ana symbols at the head Of the lists.
Then, as a matter of fact, If the New
York form should be adopted 1t would
be merely going back to the first form
or the Australian ballot used in Min
nesota. When the system was orig
1nally adopted there was a provision
whereby the voter could vote a straight
ticket by placing a mark at the top
and in the center Of any list. This
was practically the same as the pro-
vision for voting a straight ticket In
the New York plan and was abandon
ed in Minnesota as Ill advised. This
state has then to all intents and pur-
poses tried the New York ballot and
found it not what was desired, when
the law specifying the form Of ballot
was changed. to meet the requirements
of what Is considered more practical
and comprehensive methods of voting.
In my judgment the only effect Of
the use of the New York ballot would
be to bring about stricter party vote.
This, think, Is not what Is wanted.
This form of ballot is used in Penn
sylvania and other Eastern states and
has been the subject Of much adverse
criticism

AT THE THEATERS.

In spite Of the inclemency of the weather
last evening, "A Female Drummer at
tracted large Monday audience at the
Grand.
Mr.. David Higgins supported by Miss Geor-
gia Waldron and an adequate company, Will
appear as the attraction at the Grand next
week in the play ''At Piney Ridge" It Is
full Of finely worked scenes. There are more
subtle and finely wrought dramas, but not
one fuller Of fine contrast and pleasing
scenes.
The Woodward Stock company, now playing
at the Metropolitan opera house, is meeting
with remarkable success in the experiment OF
popular price drama IN connection with high
class vaudeville. The house has been crowded
at every performance. The play for the pres
ent week is Mawson's "A Fair Rebel a
stirring drama Of the Civil war; the vaude-
Vile features in addition to the regular per-
Torrance, consist Of "Solaret,' the fire
dancer; Watson and HutchingE, assisted by
Ed Edwards. In a funny sketch and the
Carpos brothers, scrobats, in marvellous feats
of skill and strength. The show as a whole

HAD A SILVER SPOON
UNDER HIS JACKET
WALTER SCOLLARD FORGOT TO
LEAVE 1T AT THE JAIL
If He Had Money He Would Prob
ably BE Pronounced q Victim of
KleptOmania--As 1t Is, He Is In
dicted for Larceny.

When the case ofsWalter Scollard was called
in the municipal court yesterday afternoon
there was apparently no re,ponse and Judge
Orr glanced around for the prisoner.
Where is hef inquired the court.
Here your honor, responded the bailif,
eoal-black nine-year-old culprit who stared
back in verynon chalant manner.
The youngster was charged with incorri-
gibility and, according to Truancy Agent We'll
lington, Is an excellent specimen Of the
genus degenerate. Walter has been living
with his aunt. Mrs; l.. Lawrence. at 2ss Rice
work house sente.Ice. Owing to an apparently
uncomfortable mania for theft, Mrs. Law
renee has frequently found 1t necessary to
chastise her nephew, and on the last occasion
the boy retaiated by setting fire tc the
house.
I'm teach her to lick me- he remarked
while Mr.. Wellington was explaining his
record.
Owing 10 the absence of witne ses the case
was continued until next Friday and the
bailin started to escort his charge back to
large silver spoon dropped from beneath the
little ragged jacket. Walter remarked, In
explanation, that he had forgotten to leave
1t at the Jail.
A thorough inspection Of the county fail
the lookup at police headquarters and the
work house failed to convey lesson strong
enough to break eleven-year-o:d Paul Kreizer
of penchant for theft, according to the tes-
timony OF his father. Fred Krezer, in the
municipal court yesterday. Mr.. Kreizer in
formed Judge Orr that the youngster, al
though furnished with but limited supply
OF pocket money, In some manner kept him
self supplied with small articles, the pos
session of which he was unable to account
for. In support OF his testimony the father
exhibited four toy watches, a small tin
Ratchet. two tops and several pocket knives
which had been taken from Paul To try
and impress on the youth the necessity for
reformation Mr.. Kreizer, who is an evangelist
living on Concord street, told the court that
he had taken the small culprit to, all the
penal institutions In the county to show him
what happened to bad boys. This however.
proved of no avail and the father asked that
his son might be sent to the training school,
Truant Agent Wellington stated that he be-
heved the boy to be kleptomaniac.
The case was continued by Judge Orr until

CASEY, THE PIPER"
One of the Attractions at the Palm
Garden This Week

Not so many new faces greeted the Palm
Garden PATRONS at the opening performance
of the week last evening, but only the best
specialties have been retained for another
week, which. with the work Of the new
talent combines to give Thoroughly enter
tanning vaudeville performance. Casey, the
Piper" is the curtain-raiser, in which the
entire company appear in twenty minutes of
fast comedy. The situations are comieal and
the lines bright.

the programme as Young Adonis"-just why
however, does not appears as clever a turn
OF the kind as seen IN local music
halls for some time. He does a num-

Miss Emily Young sings and dances clever
~, while Frank Young does an amusing Irish
character turn. Miss Marie Meridith's rendi,
ton of several popular ballads is pleasing
and hitue Pink, with a new Juvenile song
makes a decided hit with her cute manner

ley of negro songs quite ENTERTAINMENT. Miss
Rosie De Faude renders UP to date songs in
pleasing voice. Harry Pink does some light
balahcing tricks cleyerly, and Sam Green's
character sketch is a meritorious piece of
work. May Russells descriptive song OF a
wreck at sea Is well done.

Bids Were Opened by the Board of
Public Works.
The board Of public works yesterday opened
bids for the grading of Rondo street be-
yond Western avenue. There were
three bidders: Fielding &c Shepley, s. 200:
Nicholas Feyen, S10.764; Thomas Linnan.
81, 10. The board laid over the award Of the
contract until Dec. 8.
Rondo street at the point mentioned
was widened some years ago by taking ten
feet of the lots on the south side of the
street. Between Mackubin street and Western
avenues the property owners request that the
street be filled in so to do away with the
gulch which now makes the street practically
of no use for travel.
The owners in the district mentioned claim
that If the entire street is 70 be assessed for
the grading the most Of which Is to be done
on the west end. that the east end be also
fixed as it should be. The award of the con-
tract will probably be held up until some
conclusion is arrived at regarding the filing

Who Were Grounded Up" on
General PrincipIes-The Patrol
Wagon Had Two Loads
Charles Myquist arrived in st. Paul
yesterday afternoon from Dakota with
30 In cash and a check for $3.50. BY
10 o'clock he had been assaulted and
robbed of his wealth and was locked
up at police headquarters for safe
keeping, together with two Of his al
legged assailants. Another man who
had a hand in the affair is still at
ed.
During the afternoon Myquist visited
q number Of saloons in the course of
becoming acquainted with the city and
Wnen he started to stroll down Sibley
street at 10 o'clock he had a Jag of
some proportions. In the dark alley
between Third and Fourth streets he
was accosted by three men. With a
muttered exclamation one Of them
struck MyQuist IN the face, knocking
him down. Then the PROSTATE man
was dragged into the alley and the
three men proceeded to rife his clothes.
They secured the check and cash.
Myquist recovered consciousness
enough to shout for help and Patrol
men Smith and Ryan ran up, while
the assailants were still standing over
the PROSTATE man. Two of the men
were captured and the third, who is
described as being tall man with q
SCARED face. ran up the alley and es-
capped.
The two men were taken to police
headquarters where they were posi-
lively identified by Myquist. They gave
their names as Michael Kelly and
Barney Hayes, and both claimed to be
strangers in the city.
Myduist, whose face had been badly
battered. was too much under the in
fuence Of liquor to give Capt. Rouleau
a very coherent story of the occur
renee. He gave his occupation as "a
business man" and stated that he was
on his way to Chicago from Dakota.
He was locked up for safe keeping
Lieut.. Babe Immediately ordered all
the "hoboes" in the vicinity of the
robbery to be gathered in and two
patrol wagon loads were taken to the
station and the men, thirteen in all,
locked up on drunk charges.
One of these William Brown was later
identified by Myquist as the third man.
