SLATE READY
Mayor and Leader Are In
Accord on the APP
pointments.
WILL BE KNOWN FRIDAY
No Chance For New Booms
Now - The Proba-
bilities.

Leader Davis had a final interview with
Mayor Hoos at noon today The con-
ference was a harmonious one, and Il Is
understood that the appointments are in
almost every particular entirely satisfac-
tory to Leader Davis. The men to be ap-
pointed, it is rumored, are not all Of
Leader Davis suggestion, but they are
out-and-out party men, and have always
been considered loyal to Leader Davis.
There will be more surprises than last
spring. The appointees will be announced
Friday morning. The slate may look like
this
Fire Commissioner, James Hennessey.
Finance Commissioners, James Bailey
andJohn Mullins
Sinking Fund Commissioner, James G.
Hasking.
City Treasurer-william C. Heppenhei-
mer.
City Comptroller. George R. Hough, or
Robert Jordan.
Tax Commissioner, John D. German or
James F. Cannon, with a possibility of
Charles H. Dayton. The Tax Commits
sionership is in an unsettled state at this
time.
The members of the Board of Education
Leader Davis Both gentlemen decline
to divulge the names of the Directors to
be.
Leader Davis will have no further talk
with Mayor Hoos. Those appointments
not already agreed upon will be decided
by the Mayor either tomorrow or Friday
morning.
City Hall was crowded with anxious
politicians today. Some were pulling
wires for friends while others were look
ing about for inside information.
The Mayor will not discuss appoint
ments with any one any further. His
talk with Leader Davis settled every
thing. Those not in it now need not
make fight. The struggle is over. There
will be hot time at City Hall Friday
morning.
The rumor which was af1oat yesterday
that Mr.. Hasking would not be reap
pointed to the Sinking Fund Commission
is erroneous. 1t is one of those rumors
that can never be traced to It's source.
There is not the slightest doubt that
Mr.. Hasking will be reappointed.

sey Beefsteak Club is always an event

stomachs of all concerned-to the extent

star in every flag there cleaned an cleo
trio bulb.
The affair was held on the old battle
field of the O'Neill Association assembly
rooms. Assemblyman It. J. Carroll pre-
sided. He sat at the head table. Chief
Murphy was next him.
These were the men who put on long
white aprons and served the people,
James Nugent, Joe Buckridge, William
Taylor, George Garretson and Thomas
Flanagan.
The programme was splendid One of
the artists was Philip Heck. Mr. Heck
sang number of songs. He is a dra-
matte singer. While the politicians were
indulging in beef and Hale," the ordinary
personages around the tables were enjoy
ing splendidly arranged programme.
Among those present were:-Robert II.
Baker, who presided at the piano; Alex
Scott. Horace Farrier, Thomas Andrews.

CAN'T RETURN LICENSE FEES.
Corporation Counsel Says It's Mans

The Aldermen will hold one more meet
ing. That will be next Tuesday evening.
The presence of every member Is desired,
as the business of the Board for the year
is to be cleared up.
A petition of John Lawless to erect a
two story frame at No. 1S4 Third street
brought opposition from Alderman Burns.
He said there had been remonstrances
against the proposed structure. He con-
sidered it unfair to the owners of neigh
boring buildings to allow the raising of
such an edifice.
President Midlige announced that all OBJ
jections had been withdrawn.
Alderman Austin explained that the Pc
titioner has agreed to put up building
that is in every way acceptable to the
adjoining property owners.
Authority was granted without the
votes of Aldermen Burns and Decker.
Corporation Counsel MoDermott sent
the Board the following communications
In the matter of the application for
the return Of money paid by Peter FL.
Mulry for a license to sell liquor, I
hove to advise that your Board Is with
portion OF the fee paid by him. After
obtaining a license he was convicted
of keeping disorderly house and SEN
fenced to imprisonment. The fact that
he canot continue to use the license Is
his own fault. and creates no claim
against the city. ! have further to ad-
wise you that whenever a licensee
ceases to use his license before its ex-
piraton he is not entitled to demand
return of any portion Of fee paid by
him. Applicants ask the city to license
them for a year. License is granted.
If they do not desire to use it there is
not any statute under which any por-
ito inof the fee paid can be returned
The opinion will put stop to the return
of money to irresponsible saloon keepers
pho find their ventures Improbable.
The usual election fees were paid the
of the City Clerks office.

c. A R. MONUMENT.
Site Agreed Upon and Work to Be-
gin at Once.

The question of the location of the
monument to the soldiers and sailor from
Hudson County in the Civil War is said
to be practically settled. The committee
think that the plot on the right hand
corner of the City Hall entrance Is the
one best suited. Some of the committee
thought that 1t should be placed in the
main entrance to the hall but this was
found to be impracticable. Within few
days, 1t is expected, work will be begun
on the foundations for the monument.
The unveiling will be, OF course, a red
letter day, not only for G.. A. r., but for
all Jersey City

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1899-05-17

The long looked for report of the rot
ten beef commission (srotten" may be
applied both ways) is finally to hand
and contents noted. Gen. Algsr is not
to blame; Gen. Eagan has slightly over
stepped his authority, but not sufficient
to cause a reprimand; the rotten beef
packers are exonerated, the beef was of
a superior quality, and the only man to
blame is General Miles, commander-in-
chief of our army for making complaint.
This result may have been expected
from a commission selected for clean
job of white washing only, for which 1t
was amply rewarded, Whether Gen.
Miles will submit to this rebuke is
doubtful but his enemies in politics.
are jubilant. The testimony of Gen.
Shafter in favor of the rotten beet on
which he grew fat, so he claims, was far
reaching, although in direct contradic-
ton to the statement of the thousands of
soldiers who were not lucky enough to
be the generals guests and who were
made sick and in many cases were killed
by the same "roast beef" so highly
praised by Gen. Shafter, the packers
Gen. Alger and Gen. Eagan.

AND now comes another party to New
Ulm with the intention of starting a
brush and broom factory,,without receiv-
ing any encouragement. Several prop
ositions have come from various cities,

on tried to rejuvenate the seemingly
sunken vitality of New Ulm's "Dewey"
element of finance, but the committee
appointed for that purpose has up to the

The truth of it is, the committee did not
succeed so far in the line of encour-
aging outside or local manufacturing in
