WHY WAS BARN AENDED :.
QUESTION THAT CONFRONTs THE
APPRAISERS OF THE NEW
MARKET SITE
ASSEMBLY~WAS IN THE. WAY
Aldermen Revoke the Permit for
Requiring Cook Rarn. but
the Matter Was Sus-
pended.
AssEMBLY-WAs IN THE. WAY

A meeting of the market site appraisers
was held yesterday in the office of the
Cook TransferSstab1es, on Jackson street,
but nothing was done beyond to inspect
the premises and receive seVefaT visit rs
in the persons of William Constans and
Alexander Cathcart, parties inter5s ted in
the condemnation proceedings.
meeting will be he'd this morning in
the office of Charles T. Miller, in the
New York Life building, when steps will
be taken to enter into the work On hard
actively.
The impression prevails generally that
a big mistake acknowledgement the
repairing of the barn belonging to the
Cook Transfer company, and now occu-
plying the site on which the market is to
be placed. The fact that the ground was
to be used as a market site was known
when the old stables were almost de-
stroyed by fire, and to allow them to he
rebuilt only to be torn down again at a
heavy cost to the city is considered a
gross error.
The board of aldermen on learning that
permit for the repair of the building
progress promptly passed a resolution re-
voking the order, but the matter received
juggling at the hands of the assembly,
practically shehingrit. - - 3sasse4
AS $1,000 has been; expended in the re-
pairing and remodeling of the old barn
since the fire the city will evidently have
to pay the owners for confiscation of the
same.

ADJUTANT GENERAL is
SERIOUSLY I'LL At THE SOL
DIERS' HOME HOSPITAL
FIRST SECRETARY OF STATE
he Was the First Incumbent of the
Office After the Admission of
Minnesota as a
State.

Col. Francis Raasen, assistant aliu-
tant general has been confined at the
Soldiers home for over a week with all
ments closely resembling those of the
late Senator Davis. There is something
the matter with his foot and compl;ca-
lions having set in, the doctors in at
tendance have no hesitancy in saying
that he is in q precarious condition Dr.
O. S. Pine teiephoned to Adjt. Cen. Lam
bert yesterday afternoon and said that
Col. Baasen was much worse and great
fears We're entertained for him.
The colonel is one OF the historical
characters of the state. He was one OF
the members attending the constitutional
convention and he was the first secre
tary of state for Minnesota. Previous to
his confinement he had been limping
about the capitol for some weeks trying
to make himself and others believe that
he was not sick 1t was q ease of hoT e
against hope, however, for his foot lee
came so bad that he couldn't walk at
all.
Since his absence frcm the state house
his place has been filed by Charles j.
Humason, formerly assistant adjutant
general under the Merriam administra>
ton.
Daily inquiries are being made at the
Soldiers home by the many friends of
the sick man and expressions of SYM
pathy are coming frCm various sections
OF the state.
AT midnight Surgeon Pine, of the Sol
diers' home, said that Col Baasen's con-
dition was serious, but was resting cas-
lily. He feared, however, that the disease
was progressive.

tionaI methods. He began by saying that
there was a difference between a conun-
drum and puzzle in that the latter 8
something rational. and the former with
out sense. AS an illustration of a conun-
drum he asked why a horse was like a
barn door, and the answer was because
neither could climb a tree. 1t was with
out sense. but still a conundrum. He
then asked:
Are we destined to spend our time
merely in spelling out the meaning of
nature, to pass all our life like children
playing puzzle. without learning the life
itself? What is it that makes life worth
living? Ethics and religion must give the
answer. A mans life CONSISTENT not In

These have meaning only as they minis

personality.
Within limits we order our destiny
according to some ideal of life and char
acter as moral persons. The person is an
end in himself, and he must have a field
for the realization of his personality,

VALUE OF GRAND STAND
STATE COMMISSION WILL ADJUDGE
1T NEXT WEEK

The commission appointed by Gov
Lind some three or four months ago to
investigate into the matter of the claims
of the Twin City Jockey club will, in all
probability, award the association be-
txseen $2G,0 and $25, 900. A hearing anent
the matter was held yesterday afternoon
Whereat former Senator Mcmillan and
Prof Aldrich, of the university, We're
the principal witnesses and some inter.
esting facts were given out.
AS remembered by many, in the year
1892 the Twin City Jockey club and the
State Agricultural association entered
into contract whereby the former was
to build the grandstand and other i'm
provements at the fair grounds, and pay
the costs, and in return receive the use
of the grounds each year for fifteen
years when the fair was not in session.
The grounds were used for a couple of
years, but in 1895 the legislature passed
a law making pool selling a state prison
offense. This, the members of the Jock
ey club claim. injured them and the
grounds have not been used since. In
1855 the legislature passed bill directing
the governor to appoint a commission
consisting of two justices of the supreme
court and the attorney general to in
vestigate and see what the club is en-
titled to- Justices Lovely and Collins
and Attorney General Douglas We're APP
pointed and they have been taking tes-
timony at various times for three or
four months.
Former Senator Mcmillan testified yes
terday that he was one of the main over
seersr in the construction work on the
race grounds and that, as far as he re-
members. he estimated the costs at
$40, 900. He said however, that he does
not remember whether this included a
certain ceiling of the building. If not
The original estimate was something like
$4S. 0OO
Charles r. Aldrich. who was one of the
architects, testified that his estimate was
about $3S, 600. Both witnesses were of
the opinion that the property is now
worth from so to 50 per cent of its
original cost and they and other minor
witnesses are of the opinion that the
club is entitled to a good part of this
percentage.
Another hearing will be held a week
from today, wltereat Kellogg & Sever
ance, the receivers of the club, will pre-
sent further facts to the commission. A
decision will be rendered shortly. after.

the conditions in the South where 50
much race prejudice was supposed to ex-

many cases without cause, as from per-
soral observation he found that every eff
fort was being made to give the negro as
high an education as his white brethren.
Teachers of both races taught in the
schools and every effort was being made
to advance the negro intellectually. Some
of the schools, he said, were the finest
