COMMERCIAL III.
UNION r1EETlNG.
Various Topics Of General Interest Dis
M. cussed at Friday Nights Session.

At the Commercial Union meeting Fri
day evening President Klossner of th.
city council pointed out the unreason
ableness of New UIm being compelled
year after year to keep the Beussmanr
bridge in repair. It was outside of the
city limits, he said, and after contribut
ing so much to its original constructor
it was no more than right that we should
call upon the outlying towns in Nicollet
county to look after its care.
The discussion which followed pre-
sented widely yarying views. Many
thought that the city spent altogether
too much on its streets and not enough
on the highways leading into the town.
The business men we're dependent up
on the country trade and should not OBJ
ject to contributing to whatever might
tend to increase that trade.
All agreed however that the city
should not bear all of the expense, and
resolution was finally adopted calling
upon the city council to confer with the
commissi Of Brown and Nicollet
counties and induce them, if possible, to
appropriate reasonable amount annu-
ally towards keeping the bridge in prop
er condition. q.
The next subject taken up provoked
q lively dlscdssion.s It was introduced
by Peter Scherer and led to the express
sion9of an unlimited number Of views
as to how to deal with the tramps.
Everybody was Of the opinion that
something should be done at once to rid
the city Of the pest during the coming
season, but q satisfactory solution Of the
problem was 40 entirely different mat
ter.

hands Of Individuals and give food to-

Brown County's
Assessment.
We Are Asked to Guarantee the Sum Of
$240 for an Exhibit at Omaha.

The committee, appointed by Gov.
Clough to arrange for proper exhibit
of Minnesota resources at the On aha
Exposition, has decided that the sum of
100000 will be required in order to car
ry out their plans.
Inasmuch as this sum is needed at
once, an effort will be made to raise it
by asking each county to guarantee an
amount, based uponit its assessed valuation.
The amount asked from Brown coun
ty is $s4o.2e.
Whether it will be forthcoming and
in just what manner remains to be seen.
When funds were needed for the Worlds
Fair building in Chicago, similar plan
was tried and successfully SO too.
, A note for the amount was circulated
among influential citizens and literally
signed upon the promise that the sign
ers would be reimbursed, if not by the
Legislature, then by the county or city.
TIE money was then advanced b. the
banks, the commissioners agreed to
make it good, and when the legislature
convened there was little trouble liz pass
ing the appropriation for reimbursement.
The amount required Of Brown coun-
ty at that"tlme was larger than that
asked for at present; but the plan of
lalsing it, if raised at all, will undoubt-
edly be the same. &~.v r III
In few days the Commercial Union
will hold a special meeting to discuss
what is to he done. II zs7@s ~

will be $224.l2, Redwood's 1854. .92, ,Sib-
ley's $239.01, and Watonwan's $167.24,

That r1ankatO
Conference.
Editor Hays Informs the st. Paul Dispatch
Of it's Aims and Purposes.

H. G. Hays, who called the republican
conference at Mankato on the 22nd, the
same day that the republican state league
meets, has written the St. Paul Dispatch
as follows:
"4ou .can do the republican party a
favor by saying that the conference of
the republicans of the Second congress
ional district is called for the purpose of
outlining plan of campaign work
that will be radical departure from the
methods of 1896. Many Of us saw some
thing of the inside Of that campaign,
and we went about the task of carrying
out the desires of the bosses with fear
and trembling. We fought that cam
paign with handicap that was almost
paralyzing, and we are not going to do
it again. Look at the terrible falling
off Of the vote for governor and then re-
call, if you can, the many voters who
voted for the republican governor most
reluctantly. They voted Under protest,
and this year they are still sullen and
dissatisfied. We could not renominate
our most excellent governor under any
circumstances, and to have him treat the
office he holds as personal property, to
be juggled and traced to that politician
who will give him the most for 1t, is an
insult. The republicans Of Minnesota
should once in a while be given chance
to nominate a state ticket. The corpor-
ations have had entirely too much to
say, and if Van SAINT is nominated it will
lose the state to our party and inaugu-
rate y reign Of terror that will do us more
material harm than we can recover from
in generation. Look at the hybrid
we had in 891, and Just i'm
aglne what would be the result il the
entire state had been turned over to the |
pops. However, the conference will not
discuss men at all. Methods will be
taken up, and we hope and trust that
some plan may be adopted that will
commend itself to the people Of the
state, and make it impossible for the
machine to WIN out. All Of US srealize that
N organization, and strong ons,is nee
essary. and many Of US think an organi-SI
zation coming from the people ought to
be just as strong as one made BY private
Samuel r. IN SAINT has VOL
unfairly ranged himself alongside these
forces, and he must take the conseq,,en-
ces- f he is not able to stand alone, in.I
dependent Of the machine, he must goI
down with the machine.

MARTY NOT TO BLAME.
The Luie Yuen Inquest Jury Exon
crates Him.

Coroner Clark last evening conducted
an inquest on the remains of Luie Yuen,
who on Sunday night was struck at
Fourth and K streets by a horse driven
by Joseph Marty, receiving injuries
which resulted in his death few hours
later. The jury which heard the evil
dence consisted of William J. Arnold, ].
W. Nelis. Adolph Meyer, W. D. Stalker,
V. G. Dodge. Ed. Van Alstein, w. D.
Davis and Thomas Kirkpatrick.
Among the witnesses who testified
were Drs. Brooke and Ogden, Mrs.
Hanak, David Ahern, Thomas Allen,
Thomas Fox, J. w. Wilson, Louis
Chowe. J. A Devine and William Tai
bot Most of the witnesses testified
that had the Chinaman kept still or
kept moving forward he would have es-
capped, but that his companion called to
him and he stepped back in time to be
struck by the horse which was trotting
down the street on the side prescribed
by the ordinance regulating the matter
The verdict brought in by the jury
was as follows:
we find that the deceased, Iuie
Yuen, came to his death by a fracture
of the skull. the result OF being struck
by horse driven by one Joseph Marty.
We exonerate said Joseph Marty from
blame, as in our opinion said accident
was unavoidable"

STILL UNSETTLED.
Vacancies on the Democratic Ticket
Not Yet Filled.

The Democratic County Central Com
mittee met in the parlor of the Windsor
Hotel last night to consider the advisa-
bility of naming candidates for the po-
sitions Of Auditor and Recorder and Su-
perintendent of Schools, which were left
vacant by the County Convention.
T. w. O'Neill, Chairman of the COM
mittee, said he had been told that a
prominent young man would accept II
named by the committee for Auditor
and Recorder, and at his suggestion
that position on the ticket was left open
until the next meeting in order to see
if it is true that he will accept. Mr..
O'Neill did not name the prospective
nominee.
The naming of a person as nominee
for Superintendent of Schools was also
passed after a rather extended discus
sion. The names of NJ. 3. Potter and
Mrs. Purnell were mentioned. While
some of the members favored naming
Mr.. Potter, others thought that if the
nomination was not worth asking for it
was not worth having.
When it was suggested that Mrs. Pur-
nell's name be placed on the ticket the
point was raised that a great many
Democrats favored keeping women out
of politics, and an animated discussion
followed. In the end, as before stated,
the position was passed until Wednes-
day night next, at which time the COM
mittee will again meet

A GOOD SEND-OFF.
The Late All Wong Had a First
Glass Funeral

The funeral of All Wong. who con-
Quoted a restaurant at Third and I
streets, was held at 3 o'clock D. m.
yesterday. and was attended by all the
pomp and ceremony given by the Chez
Kong Tong to their departed brethren
Wong was, besides being a member
of the secret society known as the Chez
Kong, affiliated with the Fong Duck
Tong, and that organization also turned
out to make the obsequies a success.
The Chez Kongs furnished forty honor
airy pall-bearers, all of whom marched
to the cemetery. A dressed goat and
Il succulent pig were placed upon the
grave Of the dead man for food during
his journey into the unknown. A dozen
hacks and twenty carriages were in the
procession, which was headed by a Chi
nese band. The six-year-old daughter
of the dead man was chief mourner.

vote for the sprinkling claims on the
ground that the board had no right to
pay them from the general fund. He
also voted against the bill for furnish
ing pure water for the Courthouse Of
frcialS, but said he would vote for the
sprinlSling bill for the Riverside road,
as the city received the most benefit
Of it, and, he thought, should pay it
all.
When the board reconvened in the
afternoon Trustee Brown addressed 1t
in relation to the cleaning out of the
Y-street canal.
He said that the work should be done
before the rains set in, but the city
funds are very short, and the Board
of Trustees hoped to have the Super
yisors assist them in the matter.
Chairman Morrison said the other
time when the City Trustees asked for
assistance in cleaning the canal they
dllly-dallied along till the canal was
half full of water, and the money the
county gave did scarcely any good. he
did not want to contribute again unless
the canal could be cleaned before the
rains come
Mr.. Brown said that it had been pro-
posed that the Supervisors should al
low the chain gang, the city to pay men
as guards, but he preferred, if money
could be allowed that the work should
be done by laboring men, as free labor,
there being plenty of men in the city
who need the work
Chairman Morrison said he also de-
sired free labor, and moved that the
board contribute two-fifths of the cost,
providing it does not exceed S1,23O in
cost.
Supervisor Curtis said he would sec
ond the motion on condition that the
work be done by days work, an item
lied account o be furnished to the
board, and provided that men from the
country outside the city who wish to
do some of the work shall not be
barred on account of not living in the
city, also that the work shall COM
mence at once.
