ANOTHER MEETING. TONIGHT.
People Interested In Express Line
Ordinance Are Called

Handbills were distributed yesterday
throughout the Eighth ward calling upon
the taxpayers and residents opposed to
the granting Of the. fast interurban line
ordinance to meet at the council chamber
this evening.
Aid. Shepard, chairman. of the alder
manic committee on streets, to which
body the ordinance was referred says
there is undoubtedly a mistake in the
date of the meeting. The committee will
meet Thursday afternoon at o'clock, and
at the session a time will be fixed upon
for the consideration of the ordinance.
Aid. Shepard was of the opinion that the
meeting would be held Saturday evening,
but was not certain that this evening
would be decided upon by the committee.
The exact date would be fixed at the
meeting of the committee Thursday after
noon; Among other business to be taken
up then is the report of the special joint
council committee, locating a market site
on the block bounded by Fourth, Fifth,
Franklin and Exchange streets.
Iteseens, however, that the use Of the
council chamber for tonight has been
granted by Mayor Kiefer, and the meet
ing will be held as the bills announced.
Saturday night, which was suggested by
Aid. Shepard for the opening meeting,
does not suit the University avenue re-
tailers, many Of whom keep their stores
open late Saturday nights.

TO yACATE SOME ROADS.
Chamber of Commerce Solution of
Smelling Rifle Range Puzzle.

Chamber of Commerce Solution of
Smelling Rine Range Puzzle.
The Fort Smelling rifle range was dis
cussed by the chamber of commerce yes
terday, being brought up by the report
Secretary Tallmadge, Gen. Sanborn and
Mai Espy, which visited the fort last
week The committee reported:
"Steps have already been taken by the
military depar trnent to close one road
leading into and across the reservation
from Minneapolis, and to substitute there
for a highway leading along the entire
west line of the reservation. The high
way that now interferes with proper
rifle range IS the highway leading from
the south end of the high bridge across
the reservation, west Of the barracks,
and near the public stables, southerly or
southwesterly, and up the Minnesota val
lev, which is the only road accommodate
ing the travel from the Minnesota valley
and the people living southerly or south
westerly of the reservation to and from
st. Paul 1t seems impossible to secure
a proper target range with this road open
that will not imperil the public travel to
some extent"
The report recommends the construc-
ton of q new road across the reservation,
up the Minnesota valley, turning pretty
sharply to the south after crossing the
bridge and going entirely across the reser-
walton below the crest of the bluff a few
hundred feet, and in some places more
than 100 yards south of the crest of he
bluff and of the barracks and quarters.
This road would not be longer than the
one now used to any perceptible extent,
and would take the public across the res
ervation without coming in contact with
the troops, and would be entirely below
the line of fire of any target range and
would allow a range of three miles with
out imperiling the public travel.
The resolution presented by the COM
mittee was adopted by the chamber, after
amendments, making 1t read as follows:
Resolved, that our senators and men,
bers of congress be requested to make
application to the secretary of TO
detail board Of at least three officers
of the army, without unnecessary delay,
to examine and report what steps are
necessary and proper to be taken to Sc
cure suitable target or rifle range of at
least two miles in length on said res
eryation, or elsewhere. and what changes
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-09-26


in the highways leading across said res
ervation should be made to avoid all peril
to the public travel thereon, resulting
from target practice"
The occupation OF that post is worth
to the two cities half a million dollars q
year" said Gen. Sanborn.
A communication was received from W.
p. Wilson, director of the Philadelphia
national export exposition, inviting the
chamber to send delegates to the third
annual conference of the exposition.
On motion of W P Murray, a deIega-
ton of five was appointed, consisting of
the three representatives Of the chamber
on the exposition's advisory board and
two others yet to be named. The dele
gates will be e. W. Peet, r. A. Kirk,

able to go. N

DEAD AT DIES MONIES.
Sudden Demise of L. Nj. Shields, I'm

Lilburn M Shields, until two weeks $50
living at Gal Grand avenue this city, was
found dead in hotel at Des Moines, To-,
yesterday Heart disease was pronounced
by the coroner the cause Of death.
Mr.. Shields, who was little more than
thirty years of age, Travelled for the To-

week ago, leaving Mrs. Shields to spend
two weeks at the Ryan hotel until a house
was secured at Davenport.
Mr.. Shields was in the best of health
and spirits, and looked a most unlikely
man to die suddenly. His father, how

Gen. Pope was averse to being inter-

ed UP in the riot at Seventh and Wabasha

Ross and Patrolman Skoog were injured
in fighting the crowd, were yesterday fin
ed $25 each in the municipal court The
penalty was considered in some quarters
as rather lenfent, and Prosecuting At

on the subject. Mr.. Arnold declared that
two policemen had been seriously hurt
in the fracas, and that the defendants
were guilty of a serious assault. Judge
Orr announced that he had been urged
to leniency toward the young men, and
was willing to- assume the responsibility.
Prosecuting Attorney Arnold replied that
so long as the responsibility was assum-
ed by the court, and not shifted to the
prosecuting attorney, ne was satisfied.
Judge Orr closed the discussion by re
marking that he had never called upon
the prosecuting attorney to shoulder any
of his responsibilities. Mr.. Arnold remark
