JOB NAY LAST LONGER
MARKET MASTER LIKELY TO GET
SIX MONTHS GRACE

If the proposition advanced by the mar
ket committee of the city council avails,
Market Master Bevans VIII have an adj
ditional six months added to his tenure
of Office Mr. Bevans was reelected to
the position he now holds in the early
part OF the present month and the idea
of presenting him with another six
month lease on the job is for the purpose
of making the Office elective in January
instead of June.
BY September the committee hopes to
be in possession of the new market
grounds and buildings and on their &C
ouisition the stalls and various places
of vantage desired by patrons will be
sold to the highest bidder. TO do this
properly and have the leases commence
with the first of the year, the committee
Is of opinion that the tenure Of Office of
the market master should last during the
life of the leases, and for that reason the
idea of giving Mr.. Bevans an additional
six months has been advanced.
The grounds on Jackson street are now
ready for paving and if possible the con-
tract for the same will be awarded at
the meeting of the council to be held this
week Bids will also be opened for the
erection of iron sheds and the wooden
stalls.
An ordinance is now being prepared In
which will be embodied rates for stalls
and rules for the general conduct of the
grounds and buildings. In a large meas
ure the ordinance will be copied after one
in force in Minneapolis.

JAIL SITE ONCE MORE.
ANOTHER DESCENDANT ELEMENT
RISES FROM IT'S LAIR.

Another disturbing clement has entered
into the construction of the new county
jail, the site for which is now being clear
ed at the corner Of Fourth and st. Peter
streets. The latest trouble Is the wall
of the old livery stable adjoining, and
from accounts it promises to be a disturb
ing factor of no small dimensions.
When the old buildings ON the new site
were removed, the wall of the livery
stable promised to give trouble, but
braces were brought into play and the
wall strengthened. Thursdays storm
however, removed what few supports the
lettering wall had, and now the affair
threatens to come down with a run unless
given immediate attention. More braces
have been proposed by the commissioners
to head off the threatened disaster, but
this the owners will not have, and 1t now
looks as if the county viii have to build
an entirely new wall at a heavy expense,
or else purchase the building.
In the minds of many, the purchase of
the stable is considered the best way out
of the difficulty, for as 1T now stands It

the magnificent JAN that the county will

regret that such a small building lot
should have been secured and one that

surrounding unsightly shacks Having
in mind the late trouble experienced in
securing a site, the commissioners are.

POOR WEEK FOR CROOKS
ST. PAUL POLICE DEPARTMENT
TOO MUCH FOR PLCKPOCKETs

The Woodmen convention has at least
demonstrated to the satisfaction or
everyone that st. Paul has an efficient
police department. In view of the fact
that the convention had been advertised
so widely, crooks from all over the coun-
try came with the delegates in the hope
Of Securing numerous rolls that were
not carefully protected. From the first
they were shown that there was nothing
doing in St. Paul. Several of the web
known ones We're arrested, charged with
vagrancy and put out of harms way
until the convention season was over.
Others were warned and to them a word
to the wise was sufficient. The result
was that despite the crowds that inVad-
ed the city day and night for almost
week, only one complaint came to the
police. A Missouri delegate struck up an
acuua :ntance with a woman who relieved
him OF SIS. The pickpockets secured
nothing. AS evidence Of the fact That the
crooks were here and ready for bust
ness attention might be called to the
wholesale thieving that was committed
in Minneapolis where the crowds were
not nearly so large. 1t is estimated tIiat
the complaints filed yesterday Of people
touched for diamonds, 5eWelry and
money on Friday night alone VIII reach
$500 In an interurban car coming from
the Mill City yesterday morning there
were five people who had fallen victims
TO pickpockets Friday night. One lost
diamonds. the rest lost railroad tickets
and money from $40 to $50. In the whole
city of St. Paul here were siXty-three
arrests during Woodmen week, while in
the previous week there were seventy ar
rests. These arrests include all charges,
vagrancy, drunkenness and violations OF
the bicycle ordinance.
Not only in the prevention of crime was
the department successful. Throughout
the week in the crowd and jam incident
to parades and promenades not one per-
son was injured. The police kept the
streets open and removed all danger to
