THE proposition to abolish the police

WHEN THE District OF Columbia ap-
nrooriation bill was under consideration
Yesterday in Congress, a Western mem
Der objected to a provision 10 it for tax
ing all the people Of the country TO sup
Div those of Washington with novels
and bathing accommodations. Many
intelligent people deem the objection q
wiso one. The taxpayers OF all the
States have not only to bear the ex-
peuse of educating their own children,
but those of tie District OF Columbia
also. and it seems but fair that
the latter having been taught to read
at the expense of the States,
should at least be able to buy
their own novels, or that the District
do 80 for them. As to bathing accom-
modations, If the people OF Washington
be too poor or too mean or too lazy TO
wash themselves, their own city shonio
supply them with the facilities for de-
inc 80. and certainly should not put
that expense also upon the already
tax ridden people of the whole country

John J. Tobin in Court over VIII
of Mrs. Kate Ludwig.

John j. TOb1n in Court over VIII
of Mrs. Kate Ludwig.
John ]. Tobin is in court in connec-
ton with the old legal fight on the will
of Mrs Kate Ludwig, who died in July.
1888, and who willed all her property to
robin, amounting to about $4,000 Mrs.
Ludwig was an aged German woman
and Tobin boarded with her.
This time Tobin is the defendant in a
damage suit brought by Mrs. Clara M.
Eggert, who alleges that Tobin came to
her house and abused her, GAZING her
vile names in the presence of her famlis-
and accused her of perjury in connec-
ton with her part as witness in the
original will case. Mrs. Eggert wants
damages to the extent of IS, 900 from To-
bin.
MI and Mrs. Eggert, at the time Mrs.
Ludwig made the will, were newly
married couple living next door to Mrs.
Ludwig. One day she called in Mr.. and
Mrs. Eggert and asked them to witness
a Will that she had drawn up. They
complied with her request, and when
the case was brought into court both
testlned that the will had been folded
except for the blank spaces where thew
signed as witnesses and that they were
unable to see what were the contents
OF the WILL and whether or not Ii was
signed by Mrs Ludwig.
The contention of the heirs who were
lighting Tobin was that at the time the
Eggerts signed the will it was not signed
by Mrs Ludwig and was therefore in
valid. The lower court held that the will
was invalid, because the witnesses were
unable to see whether or not it was
properly signed, as the law provides that
witnesses witnessing will must see the
party making the will affix his or her
name to the document.
The case was taken to the supreme
court and Tobin was beaten. He was
angry about the part which the Eggerts
had taken in the matter at that time.
and recently went TO their home in Min
nesota street and called Mrs. Eggert.
according to the complaint, vile names
and made charges of forgery in the pres
ence Of other people.

TWO new CORNERS
BUILDINGS AT CEDAR AND SIXTH
ARE NEARING COM
PLETION
BOTH HANDSOME STRUCTURES
Commercial and EndicOtt Buildings
VIII Cost $16O,OOO-WilI Be
Ready for Occupancy
by Nov. 10.

The two new buildings at Cedar and
Sixth are rapidly nearing completion.
They will be in readiness for occupa-
ton by Nov. Is, and will make valuable
additions to the business blocks of the
city.
The Commercial building, located on
the northeast corner of the square, is a
three-story building. 100 feet square, with
its front on Sixth street. 1t was designed
by NJ. ]. Fitzpatrick, and is being built
by Timothy Reardon. When completed
the building will contain four store
rooms. each % by 100. it is owned by a
Boston man, but is in the care of Lu-
Their S. Gushing. Part of the upper story
is already rented, but the store rooms
are yet to be leased. The structure, when
completed, will cost about $50 900.
The new Endieott building, which occu-
pies the northwest corner of the square,
is to be one of the handsomest in the
city. 1t is built somewhat after the plan
of the Glass block, in Minneapolis, and
bids fair to excel the beauty of that
structure. It was designed by Cass Gill
bert and IS being put up by the Butler
Ryan Co. The dimensions, according to
the present plans, are 80 by 100. 1t was
the original intention to make the first
story large store room, but it is very
probable that these intentions will be
changed. Mr.. Cushing is now negotiat
ing with a firm which desires to lease it.
If thase negotiations terminate in a
lease, a forty-five-foot addition will be
added on the Cedar street side, MAX
ing the building 145 feet long. If the ne
gotiations are fruitless the building will
be divided into three store rooms and
will be leased to smaller firms. The
work on the north end of the building
has been stopped pending the outcome
of the deal. The building, when COM
pleted, will cost 0,G00

SUIT OVER A NAME
WESTERN SUPPLY COMPANY
WANTS $4,000 FROM A MIN
NEAPOLIS FIRM
HEAVY DAMAGES ARE ASKED
SANITY City Firm Wants Mill City
Establishment to Take AnOth-
er Name-EchO of nm
Old VIII Case.

A suit has been brought in the district
court by Attorney McDermott for the
Western Supply company Of this city
against concern doing business in Min
neapolis under the name of Western
Supply company. The local company has
been in operation in ST. Paul for the past
ten years, being duly Incorporated I'M
der the state laws. whereas the Mime
apolis firm has only been in existence
year or so, and is not incorporated.
The suit is for $4,000 damage and the
plaintiff also prays that the court will
issue an injunction restraining the Min
Eeapolis people from continuing to do
business under the name of Western
Supply company, and that they be or
dered to turn over to the plaintiffs all
advertising cuts, dies and stationery that
bear the words, Western Supply COM
pany.
An effort was made to settle the mat
ter out Of court, Mr. McDermott writing
the Minneapolis house and asking it
to change its name. After two or
three letters had been written by Nc
Dermott the company's attorney replied
to him stating that inasmuch as the
company was established in business
that it refused to change it's name
and MeDermott replied by taking the
matter into the courts for final settle
ment The Minneapolis people will, it is
understood, ask for change of venue
to Minneapolis.
While the companies are not in the
same line, the St Paul firm complains
that it's business has suffered to the
extent of the amount of damages asked
for by reason of confusion of mails
Checks and orders have been received
at Minneapolis that were intended for
st. Paul, and the latter concern claims
that the Minneapolis company has not
put themselves out to any great extent
to forward the mail, although it has all
been forwarded in time. The complain
ants futher state that they have an estab-
lished business in the country around
the Twin Cities and that the confusion
arising from the similarity of names
causes them much time and trouble in
making explanations to customers as to
why goods are not sent or checks or re-
mittances acknowledged promptly.
They hold that outside of the state ST.
Paul and Minneapolis are generally
known as the Twin Cities. and even if
there is no similarity in names that mail
is often directed to Minneapolis that is
intended for the ST. Paul company, and
vice versa.
The st. Paul firm is determined to
light the case to finish and hopes to
establish its rights to the sole use of the
words, THE Western, Supply company"

necessary.
Brink was ffty-two years of age, and
up to the time of his death was in good
health. A son of the deceased was in
the Eeighborhood at the time of his fa-
Tiers death and fastened to the scene.

TO BE REMOVED
CHIEF PAYMASTER OF THE DAKO-
TAS MAY GO TO THE
PHILIPPINES
maj. KILBoURNE IS COMING
Maj. Lord Is Popular in Local Army
Circles, and His Departure
viii Be Keenly Re-
GREETED.

1t is probable that Maj. Lord, chief pay
master Of the Department of the Dakotas,
with headquarters in st. Paul, VIII be
transferred to the Philippines. Orders
were received yesterday afternoon at the
Army building to the effect that Maj
Il. kilbourne, paymaster, will be re-
Ieved from duty at San Francisco. CAL
when his present leave of absence ex-
pires, and will come to St Paul to re-
port for duty as chief paymaster of this
department Capt. James Candy, who
has lately been relieved from duty in the
Division of the Philippines and ordered
to proceed to Washington to re-
port to the paymaster general of the
army for duty, will, it is understood, also
be assigned to Fort Smelling. Seen by the
G o b last night in regard to the mat
ter, Maj Lord said:
q understood that Maj KiIbourne was
to be transferred to this department and
that Capt. Candy would also come to
Fort Smelling, but it was only late this
afternoon that positive orders were re-
ceived for the former. 1t is hardly proba-
bic that there will be three paymasters
at Fort Smelling, so there is a possibility
of my being sent to the Philippines,
though. of course, I know nothing posi-
tive in the matter. l have received no
information in regard to my own trans
ference
Maj. Lord has been chief paymaster
of this department for a number of years.
He and Mrs. Lord spent one year at Fort
Smelling, where they were very popular
IN army circles. Recently they have re-
sided at the Marlborough. Both have
wide circle of friends in ST. Paul, and
should Maj. Lord be transferred their
departure will be keenly regretted.
