THEY LABORED WITH SlNDELL
SMOOTH WORK WHICH INDUCED
HIM TO VOTE FOR
CLAUSSEN
Petition Circulated Among Repub-
Iicans for Signatures Recon-
mend1ng the Candidate for City
Engineer.

1t now develops that Mayor Kiefer,
President Pottgieser and Commissioner
Ames played both ends against the mid
die" to secure the election of City En-
gineer Claussen. Commissioner Sandell
had informed the mayor in March last
that he would not vote for Claussen, and
after a committee from the Lincoln club
had been told by Mayor Kiefer that San
dell had tried to bride him for a reap
pointment in 1900, SandeI reiterated his
declaration that he would not vote for
Claussen.
Then the politicians, headed by limo
thy Reardon, labored with Sandell and
secured a promise from him that he
would vote for Claussen if the Lincoln
club would indorse the choice of the
mayor for the position. The Lincoln
club, however, refused to do this, and
Sandell declared he would not vote for
Claussen until he was certain that he
was the choice of the Republicans.
The schemers then turned their atten-
ton to another plan. Commissioner Ma
bon was approached and requested to
vote for Claussen. He demurred, giving
as a reason that he was not certain
anyone wanted Mr.. Claussen except the
mayor. If it could be shown him that
Mr.. Claussen was the choice of the party
be would be willing as a Republican to
vote for him. Mr.. Mabon was asked if
a petition signed by the leading Repub-
hcans would have any weight, and he re-
piled that it would.
This was just what the Claussen push
ers wanted. Friends of the mayor were
sent out in the several wards and petit
lions circulated for signatures As soon
as the plan was well under way Mr.. San
dell was, in strict confidence of course
put on, and the intimation given him that
MabOn was going to join with President
Pottgieser and Commissioner Ames and
elect Claussen. This settled the matter
so far as Sandell was concerned, and he
Joined with the appointees of Mayor
Kiefer and made the election of Claussen
a certainty.
Mr. Claussen called on City Engineer
Rundlett yesterday and informed that
official that he was going out of the CITY
for few days and did not intend to
qualify and assume his duties before
Aug. l. Mr.. Rundlett said he would at
tend to the duties of the office until Mr.
CIaussen was ready to take charge. Tim
othy Reardon, who has been active in
securing the ousting of Rundlett. called
at the office of the board of public works
yesterday morning and left a box of ci-
gars, with the compliments of the new
city engineer. liz"
The sidewalks investigation was scbed-
uled to be taken UP yesterday morning
oy the board, but President PottgiesaT
and Commissioner Mabon were not ON
hand, and an adjournment was taken 70
Tuesday morning.

in North Dakota
The weather such as St. Paul and the
Northwest has been afflicted with for the
past few days will undoubtedly have its
effect on the wheat crop. Just what this
will amount to cannot be definitely
stated, but those familiar with the crop
conditions admit that the weather for the
past week has not done the growing
wheat any good. If it continues a few
days longer serious damage will re-
suit. The wheat acreage this year in
Minnesota and the Dakotas Is about the
same as last year. In the Dakotas it is
a little less than last year, many of the
farmers planting less wheat and more
fax.
Chief Grain Inspector Clausen, asked
yesterday as to the possible effects of the
tcrrid weather on the wheat CROP said:
The effect of the present hot weather
on the wheat depends entirely on the
approach of the grain to maturity. If it
is in the milk extremely hot weather will
hurt 1t. If it is in the dough state,
which is still further advanced toward
Its maturity, then a spell of hot weather
such as we have had for the past few
days will hasten It's maturity and will re-
suit in shrunken berry instead of
plump kernels.
Wheat ought to be we'll headed out in
South Dakota and Central and Southern
Minnesota. The continuation of this
kind of weather is bound to injure the
wheat crop in the Northwest From re-
ports coming in considerable damage has
resulted in the Aberdeen section In North
Dakota. The crop in the Crookston
country has not headed out as yet owing
to the delay in seeding caused by the
late spring, and this Is also true in
North Dakota
Michael Doran, the commission broker.
received letter yesterday from Yank-
ton, 3. D., from one of his agents, which
stated that the thermometer on Thursday
was W in the shade at that point. but
mat wheat and oats were looking we'll
mere was some rust on the wheat. but
IL was impossible to say how this would
erect the crop as yet Mr.. Doran said
the continuation of the present spell of
weather would certainly do the crop no
good and have the effect of hastenino
the growth of the wheat and making the
Kernel small and shrunken.
