Mr.. Hoban explained to the board in de-
tan the charges made in his affidavit.
City Engineer Rundlett, who was pres
ent, and Hoban had several warm argu-
ments over the statements made by Ho-
pan. The city engineer contending that
ell of the charges made by Hoban re-
garding the laying of foundations con-
trary to specifications, were from OBJ
servation rather than from personal
knowledge Of the facts IN the case.
This was denied by Hoban, who said
1t he did not know himself he could pro-
cuce witnesses who would prove his
statements. He also claimed that the
best proof that his statements were true
would be to go to the points mentioned
In his charges and examine the walks
and dig up portions to see If the founda-
lions were not laid of improper ma
terials.
Samples Of foundations which were
said to have been taken from various
walks laid by other firms than the ST.
Paul Sidewalk company were presented
by Hoban.
Inc investigation will be resumed this
morning at 10 clock, at which time In
spectors Hickey and Bantz will be given
an opportunity to explain the charges
made against them.
AT the meeting of the assembly last
evening an estimate audited by the comp
trolier allowing L. N. Washington, who

neld up until after the investigation by

Guided. This action was taken on the
recommendation of the committee on
ways and means.

Labor Day Notes.

Supt. Smith, of the Twin City Rapid
Transit company, says that when the
picnic of the st. Paul trades and labor
assembly was held at Fort Smelling three
years ago over nine thousand passengers
were carried by the cars running to that
point.
A committee from the building trades
council have requested the labor day
committee to assign the several crafts
af1ltated with that organization a sepa-
rate division in the parade on Monday,
Sept. 4.
Delegate McNally, Of the pressmen's
union, at the recent meeting Of the
trades and labor assembly, moved
that the Labor day committee be given
quickly seconded and carried unani-
mously.
The trades and labor assembly in the
parade on Monday, Sept. 4, will be headed
by band of twenty pieces. Up to date
the only other organization which has
secured music is the cigarmakers' union.
OF all the answers so far received from
the circulars sent to the business houses
requesting them to close their doors
and give their employees an outing on
Labor day but four have been received.
which can be considered as unfavorable.
The answers will be published weekly in
the official organ of the trades and labor
assembly.
The governor, mayor, county and CITY
officials will be invited to take part in
the parade and attend the picnic at Har-
ris' park on Labor day
The committee on speakers-J. F. Krie-
ger, j. B. Morrison and Ed O'Connor-
are said to be favorable to the selection
of home talent.
j. Puerner chairman of the committee
to secure music for the parade and pic
mic, is authority for the statement that
none but musicians affiliated with the
American Federation of Musicians will
be seen and heard in the parade on Mon
day, Sept. 4.

HIGHEST PRAISE.
Some ST. Paul Citizens Grow
Enthusiastic on the Subject.

The praise of the public
Is merits just reward
Nothing in modern times
Has received the praise accorded ''The
Little Conqueror.
OF some kinds of praise we are sleptf-
cal.
We doubt the praise of strangers.
The highest praise for ST Paul public
Is hearty expression from St Paul peo-
pie.
Doan's Kidney Pills are endorsed in st.
Paul
No better proof of merit can be had.
Here's a case of it. We have plenty
more like it.
Mrs. Augusta Hjortsperg, No. 6O9 Cana
da street, says: e had backache all the
summer of 1898 and the pain was awful
When I commenced using Doan's Kid
ney Pills, which my son got for me at
L. M. Parker3s drug store, I was so sick
I could hardly get around the house. not
only from the pain In my back, but I felt
badly otherwise. Z believe il I had not
used Doan's Kidney Pills I could not
have held UP much longer They ban
ished the backache and my poor health
disappeared in short time. 1 have not
had return of the trouble since, and I
hope this remedy will do as much for
others as it has for me-

1t is an uncOntradictable truth that no
other trades union in America has so
completely perfected its methods of doing
business and paying benefits as the cigar
makers organization. They are the orig
inators and principal promoters of the
union label idea. They elect their officers
by direct vote Of the membership, each
and every member in good standing hav-
Ing an opportunity to express his choice
Legislation of general Importance is rati-
fled or rejected by a direct vote of the
membership. Instead of devoting two
thirds of their time at conventions in
electing officers, they give their entire
time to legislative matters. They pay
strike, sick death, travelling and out-of-
work benefits. During the nineteen years
ending with 1895 the union paid to its mem
bers benefits to the amount of $4,045, 463. SO,
distributed as follows: Strike benefits
$6S' ,S9l.54; sick benefits, 81, 227, sos AZ; death
benefits, 1886, 7S9.49; travelling benefits,
$6i7, 1853; out-of-work benefits, $S55, IFS. S.
The local union keeps pace with those of
other cities. Nothing is overlooked which
will advertise the blue label or which
will advance the interests of it's members
Other organizations which have failed to
attain to the position occupied by the
cigarmakers might follow the methods of
this progressive union with profit to them
selves.

PERMISSION REFUSED.

Must Await Attorneys Decision.


Must Await Attorneys Decision.
The assembly committee on streets at a
meeting yesterday afternoon refused the
Northwestern Telephone company per-
mission to erect poles and string wires
on various streets for its long-distance
system until the corporation attorney
mad decided as to the rights of the com
pany 10 the use of the streets. Assem-
blymen Albrecht and Benson held that
the other long distance and local tele-
phone companies which had been grant
ed franchises to do business had agreed
to pay certain percentage of net earn
1ngs into the city treasury annually. and
before any more privileges were granted
to the Northwestern company some ar
rangements of a similar character shouId
be made.
Z. d. O'Brien, representing the COM
pany, said the franchise granted the
Northwestern company years ago nro-
Vldeed that the company could use the
streets to erect poles and string wires
the only restriction being that the conn
Gil must approve the route selected for
the lines. He saw no reason why the an
plcauon OF the company to improve tts
lchg distance system should be met with
question as to whether the counanv
had franchise from the city or NOT IF

1T was A TOY PISTOL,
But SaIOOnkeeper MeckeIsOn Was
Not Aware of This Fact.

If Andrea NICHOLSON, the saloonkeeper
at Eighth and Sibley streets, who was
held up in his place of business Wednes-
day night, had known the pistol that
was pointed at his head was only harm
less paper-cap affair, the chances are the
Would-be highwayman would have re-
GREETED his attempt to rob the saloon.
For when Mr.. NICHOLSON first suspected
the would-be robber he seized a club he
keeps handy for emergencies and started
for the young man. But when the pistol
was brought into play the saloonNeeper
faltered, and lodging behind a screen
called for the police. The man took to
fight. Later the police arrested John
Mccarthy, alias Macarthur, who is charg-
ed with having tried to rob the saloon.
On the prisoners person was found the
pistol which so frightened the saloon
keeper. 1t was only a cheap Fourth of
July childs plaything.
Mccarthy was arraigned before Judge
Hine yesterday on the charge of at
tempted robbery. He was held in $1,5OO
bail until Monday.
