Register of Deeds Frank c. Metcalf was
the star witness yesterday before the
special commission appointed by the
governor to investigate the charge OF
malfeasance in connection with the mys
7 ferrous disappearance Of the Zeglin deco
from his Office.
There was nothing especially new OF
7 sensational brought out by his testimony
aside from the admission that at the time
the deed was placed on record in Book
No. 511, miscellaneous instruments, he
was not aware that it was contrary tc
law, but, as he remarked, IT know better
now"
Attorney WEIGH said he would object tc
the cross-eXamination of Mr.. Metcalf or
the grounds that the proceedings were
of a quasi-criminal- character.
Mr.. Metcalf was questioned as to the
lost deed and to the conversation with
Mr.. Peterson relating to 1t. The matter
of securing a new deed, he said, had been
left with Peterson, and an effort was
made to secure another instrument from
the McNairs. With regard to a great
| many of the circumstances prior to the
investigation, witness said his memory
had become dim, owing to the vast deal
of gossip he had been forced to listen to-
He had seen the contract from which the
deed was made and examined for certain
discrepancies between it and the contract,
which Zeglin said existed.
Mrs. McNair was present at the fore
noon session and she was questioned as
to her statement relative to the amount,
property and the mortgages, on which
point the notes of the stenographers diff
fered.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

w. T. Mills, prominent citizen of Man
kato, was found dead in bed yesterday
morning in the Lenox flats. The cause
of his death was apoplexy. Mr.. Mills had
arisen about 5 o'clock to call some per-
sons in an adjoining fiat. He returned to
bed, and when Mrs Mills later came to
cali him for breakfast she found him
dead.
He was fifty-eight years of age. and
up to the time of his death had always
considered himself healthy He was born
in New York, coming to Minnesota in the
early ffties. He enlisted in one of the
Minnesota regiments at the outbreak of
the war after which he settled in Man
kato. where he engaged in the commission
business. The remains will be taken to
Mankato today for burial. Before the de-
parture Rev. ]. Faude will hold short
services. The deceased leaves a widow
and three daughters, who attend the
university.

the public from a private institution
which apparently acknowledges no suzer-
ainty on the part of the public.
But whether specifically admitted or
not, it can hardly be questioned that the
public has an interest in telephones that
vate enterprises 1t ought not to be de-
MED that, when a member of the pubic
hires a telephone he hires service that
is a necessity under modern conditions OF
business. He does not merely lease an
instrument, but he contracts for commu-
nication with others, which is essential
to his prosperity. He is required to sign
certain agreements with regard to the
telephones use. He has not voice in
making the agreement, because the serv-
ice being a necessity and there being only
one party with whom to contract the
lease is capable of being made very one
sided. On an eX parte showing of viola
ton of contract the company comes upon
the lesse's premises and arbitrarily de-
priveS' him of the entire service. 1t seems
to ME that this sort of performance is
capable of extension from one class Of
patrons to another and to the city it
self, and when SO extended 1t is simply
monopoly multiplied by anarchy.
ut becomes then the duty of the coun-
Gil to ascertain what, If any, right it has
to interfere in this quarrel, to the end
that the rights of both the company and
the public may be preserved. To this I
invite your attention. assured that all the

In Difficulty Between Druggists and

Telephone Company.
Mayor Gray sent the following COM
munication to the city council last night,
the reading of which received the closest
attention, not only on the part OF the al

of taxpayers, which included a number
of prominent retail druggists:
ut seems proper to call your attention
to the unusual conditions surrounding
the telephone service in this city. few
months ago the Northwestern Telephone
company began a crusade against the use
of telephones by the general public, seek
ing to limit their use to subscribers. The
effort was begun among the drug stores,
as it Is there that telephone is more
frequently used by the public than in any
other class of business houses. The COM
pany sought at that time to get the drug
g1sts to agree to stop the use of their
telephones by non-subScribers, but failed,
and the agitation was dropped Temporal
rily. Recently the campaign began again
on the part of the telephone company
which has, within few days, in the eff
fort to make an example, gone to the
extreme of forcibly and violently remov-
ing the telephone from the places of sew
eral merchants.

ings TO which l should like to call the

only with the theory that the telephone
is an entirely private institution, that
