LOCAL WHEEL NOTES.
The Coming Stockton Relay Race
Wheel Paths. Etc.

| The Capital City Wheelmen last night
elected seventeen new members and re-
ceived five more propositions. Thanks
were voted Superintendent of Gem
eteries Meister for constructing a
wheelway from the Riverside road and
Y street to Tenth street, thus giving
wheelmen and pedestrians a path, and
removing the necessity of trudginS
through the dust or mud.
| The club voted that when the Schley
| avenue path is constructed it will give
a moonlight run and celebration over it
in honor of the County Supervisors and
their decision to build the first official
path in the county.
! Reports were made that horsemen
and drivers are again taking to the
Thirtieth-street path. built by the city
at a cost of $340. 1t was resolved to
appeal to the police to see if it is possi-
bic to apprehend offenders. This path
two miles long, is one of the greatest
conveniences in the east end. 1t Is an
| official sidewalk, and for riding or driy-
ing horses upon it a severe penalty IS
prescribed The club will ask that an ap-
pointee, whom it will name, be made
a special to apprehend and make an
example of offenders on that path.
1t was reported to the club that Philip
Scheld will at his own cost construct
path from Twenty-eighth and K streets
along Twenty-eighth to M and out NJ
to meet the Schley-avenue path-that
| is to be.
The Wheelway Committee reported
the Folsom wheelway practically re-
constructed to Patterson's Station, and
work to be still progressing, but it will
cease at Alder Creek unless more funds
than are now in sight are forthcoming.

road race with the Terminal City

by the Consulting Committee as COM
pleted, and that the 'try-out" for the

e. E. McCrea, assistant city clerk, was
the first witness called by the state. He
testified concerning the distribution of the
ballot boxes to the judges of election.
The oath was administered in the Office
to one judge from each precinct, and by
him, In turn, to the other judges. The
poll book of the Second precinct of the
Fourth ward was produced and identified
by the witness as the same that had been
issued to Golfer, and In which Golfers
oath, of Office had been signed.
John Ross, an entry clerk. employed by
Robinson & Strauss, and one Of the
Judges of election In the Second precinct,
testified that the polls were closed at z
o'clock. The Judges and. clerks took sup
per, and then commenced the work Of
counting. The election officials present
In the room were Judges Golfer, Davis,
Woodfork and Ross, and Clerks Deneen,
Hause,s McNultys and Vance. The witness
had assisted dWoodfork in counting the
white ballots with the state ticket. After
wards he, with the other judges, had
taken the returns to the city hall. On
cross-examination, by Attorney w. H.
Mcdonald, thelwitness stated that the blue
ballot box had been sealed at the polling
place, but that the seal had been knocked
off on the way to the city hall, where it
was replaced The box was not opened
then.
City Clerk Jensen testified to having
taken the ballot box in question up to the
grand jury room, and identified the box,
which occupied conspicuous place In the
court room on Deputy Clerk Stobbart' g
desk.
Then H Thomas Quinlan, foreman of
the grand jury that found the indictment
against Golfer, was called to the stand,
and Attorney Mcdonald registered pro-
test He objected to the admission of
any testimony going to show that the bal
lot box had been opened in the grand jury
room. He argued that the jury had no
right to open the box, and that, In the abb
sence of any law permitting the opening,
the court had no right to order the box
opened The law said that the box should
be opened only for contests or for exami-
nation. and the grand jury did not want
1t for either of these purposes.
'"That point Is covered by the general
election law" said Mr.. Zollman, and the
court sustained this view of the case.
Mr.. Ouinlan identified the ballot box,
and the Identification was made complete
by John W. Owens, another member Of
the grand jury. Albert Johns, assistant
city clerk, and Deputy Auditor Bourne
both testified in regard to the records.
James Woodfork, one of the judges, tes-
tilted that he and Ross had counted the
state tickets and that Davis and Golfer
had counted the blue or county tickets.
The only thing the witness had to do with
the blue tickets was when he asked for a
recount on representative, and that as a
result Henry Johns lost two votes. Golfer
had been perfectly willing to assist in the
recount
woodfork' smemory proved to be very
moor. and he was succeeded by s. Lee
Davis. whose recollection turned out to
be better.
Golfer appeared not at all worried dur
ing the trial,fand smiled at his acquain-
tances in the crowd that filed the court
room.

s..s....FIELED

Just at present considerable interest Is
being manifested in the forthcoming
meeting of the State Federation of La
Dor at Duluth on June IL and 49, Quite
q number of unions have already elected
their delegates 10 this convention, and
others will do so in the near future. 1t is
expected that, owing to the certain re-
vival in nearly all Industrial lines, the
Duluth meeting will be one of the most
important and interesting ever held in the
state.
For the benefit of new union members,
and for those who have never thorough
ly investigated the objects of this organ
ization, the following facts are submit
ted
1.-THE State Federation of Labor is a
nelegate body composed of delegates from
the trades unions and similar labor or
CARNATIONS and the Farmers Alliance Of
the state. 1t has the same relation to
the state industrial affairs that trades
assembly does to a city. The federation
was organized July Z, 1890.
Its central idea is to bring local bodies
into closer affiliation, and to initiate
and carry on general forms of agitation
that could not be successfully handled
by local bodies, and 1t pays special at
tention to legislative matters affecting
Industrial affairs. 1t holds semi annual
sessions at places designated by the pre-
ceQlng conventions. Pr1or TO 1854 the SeS-
sions were held alternately in the Twin
Cities. but that year the experiment of
holding the meetings in other cities in
the state proved so successful that the
two larger cities do not now have a mo-
nopoly of the federation's conventions.
In the interim between conventions the
general work of the organization is LETT
to an executive council of five members,
elected all from the same city semi-an-
nually.T
Already the federation has done much
to inspire feeling of unity between the
various labor organizations OF the state;
and its legislative work has been produc-
tive of much good to the interests 1t rep
resents. In time to come there Is every
reason to expect that 1t will fully justify
its existence"
Following is the platform of the FEEDER
aticn of Labor:
Compulsory education; a legal eight
hour work day; sanitary inspection of
workshop, mine and home; liability OF
employers for injury to health, body or
life, whether caused by the neglect or
incompetency of employees or not; the
abolition of the contract system on all

The most damaging testimony in the
trial of George Golfer, on the Indictment
charging him with making fraudulent re-
turns as judge of election in the second
precinct Of the9Fourth ward, while acting
as judge of election last November was
the evidence given by S. Lee Davis, who
| assisted In counting the ballots He testi-
fled that the law in regard to the method
of counting and tabulating had been ig-
nored in several respects. The witness
had just returned from the South, where
he went for the benefit of his heal h
While there he read of the Golfer indict-
ment in the G o b e, and the fact was
recalled to his memory that when the
vote for county treasurer was reached
Miesen's vote was counted first by Golfer
and then the balance of. the votes cast
was credited to AroSin. That made the
count ITO for Miesen and 72 for Arosin.
but the total number of votes was 1884,
and If ITO of them were for Nielsen why
did you not credit Arosin with seventy
four?" asked Assistant County Attorney
Zollman.
IT don't know replied the witness.
Mr.. Davis testified that the defendant
that requires one judge to count and the
other to watch the count and watch the
clerks. They had counted the blue bal
lots, or county ticket. Golfer had count
ed part and the witness the rest. Each
would announce his totals to the clerks
except that sometimes the witness would
give his totals to Golfer and the la ter
would add his own figures and announce
the result. All but the vote for county
commissioners were handled in this man
ner, with the exception as explained in
the matter of the county treasureship.
The witness was still on the stand
when court adjourned.
Only ten jurors had been secured when
court opened and one Of these, w. H.
O'Dell, was excused by Judge Lewis on
account of death in his family. A
special panel of twelve men was in at
tendance, and the three jurors needed
were secured within half hour. They

EFT and Charles p. Potts.
In opening the case for the state, At
torney Zollman reviewed the circum-
stances attending the commission of the
alleged offence. Golfer, he SAID, was an
election judge in the second precinct of
the Fourth ward, with the polling place
located on st. Peter street near the
Windsor hotel. The state would prove
that Golfer had made statements before
the recount to the effect that the re-
turns had been dectored and that the de-
PENDANT and S. L. Davis had handled the
blue, or county, ballots exclusively. It
was in these that the fraud had been dis
covered. AS illustrating the manner in
which the work was done, Mr.. Zollman
read the following list of returns for, the
precinct:

Co., Explains Some OF the Tech
meal Points Involved in the COf-
fee Export Trade Some South
American Tables COrrected-Per
Capita Consumption In U. 8.
In an interview yesterday J. w. Coop
er, of the firm of Griggs, Cooper & Co.,
called attention to several inaccuracies
which appeared in an interview credited
to him in which the business of import
Ing coffee was the subject. He called at
tention to the fact that the Java, and not
the Mocha crop. is controlled by the
Dutch government. In speaking of the
Java and Mocha growths. he said:
Java coffee is grown under the super
vision of the Dutch government, and is
sold at quarterly sales under the govern
ment's supervision. These sales take place
after the coffee to be marketed has re-
NAMED in the hands of the government
time enough to become aged. Firms in
the United States importing coffees buy
through agents.
The statement was made to me not
long ago by broker who does a heavy
business In coffee, that st. Paul buys
more Java than the city of Boston. Java
coffee comes in mats" while other
growths come in bags. Rio and Santos
coffees are governed by a schedule or
standard made necessary by the inau-
guration of coffee exchange In New
York The No. z grade forms the basis
from which all sales are made. Let me
call your attention to the fact that the
highest grades of these growths are num-
bered one, and bring the highest price.
Inferior grades are numbered in order
decreasing to No. Z.
aside from the Mocha and Java cof-
fees high grades used in this country are
grown in Central America, Mexico and
other tropical countries. Some of these
coffees approach in quality the Java
growth, but the latter is, of course, the
best. Mocha coffee comes from Alden,
Arabia, which is an important coffee
market. The production Ia quite small,
not to exceed 1900 tons annually. The
genuine article of Mocha can be bought
from all frst-class coffee roasters, but
very little Of 1t is used unless in COM
bfnation with other brands. 1t Is strong
coffee, the berries being small and fiat.
The pure Java is mild and of delicate
flavor. Very few, however, desire it I'M
less mixed with Mocha or some other
growth. Mocha Is almost without excep-
ton used to give body to other varieties,
very large part of the yearly export
being mixed with Java. 1t gives strength
and body and adds to the drinking quail
ties. A few, however, insist on having
the pure article
THE worlds product of coffee is about
100000 bags Of 1872 pounds each. The
United States uses a large amount of the
yearly production, the consumption per
capita being between seven and eight
pounds"

SO badly burned while playing about a
bon fire Monday, died at the home of his
parents 161 Goodrich avenue, yesterday
afternoon. The little fellow was burned
about the limbs and lower part of his
body. It was at first believed that he
would recover, but the shock proved too
severe and, despite medical aid, he sue
cumbed.
Just how the boys clothing caught fire
is not known He was playing about a
burning rubbish pile with two compan-
ions when he suddenly cried out and
started to run toward his home, half a
block distant The wind famed the
flames and his clothing soon blazed about
him. Mrs. Haag, a neighbor, saw the
child's danger and ran to his assistance,
With her apron she smothered the fire,
but the lad had been terribly burned be-
fore his rescuers reached him. The fact
that the boys face was not burned and
that he did not inhale any Of the flame
led to the hope that he might recover.

but beyond relieving his agony his efforts
proved futile
The funeral will take place from the
residence at 9 a. m. Friday. Services will

Broommakers Are content.

Broommakers' Union No 80 held rou-
tine bimonthly meeting last night at Hall
No. 1, Assembly rooms. They did not
elect delegates to the State Federation
convention at Duluth for the reason that
as yet they have received no call to do
so from the state secretary. Other unions
are complaining of the same thing. 1t is
expected that nearly every union in the
city, with the exception of the furriers,
will send from one to five delegates.
There were no limitations or applications
for the broommakers last evening, but
the members reported the state of trade
as fairly good.
