Two amendments to the local constitu-
ton were read for the first time at the
meeting of the Carpenters union last
night. One provided for the payment of
$3.50 per quarter to each member of the
board of trustees, While the other pro-
vided that the business agent be elected
at the. seni-annual elections in future.
A letter was read from F. r. Yerxa &
Co. saying only members of the Carpen-
ters' union would be hired to make re-
pairs in their grocery store. A letter
was also received from the Palace Cloth

An all-day session was held yesterday

FAITH IN PRINTERS INK
USE LOTS OF 1T AND ALWAYS TELL
THE TRUTH
H. S. Rowe Explains the Value of

Big Circus.

You cannot gold brick the American
public" said H. S. Rowe, the general
manager of Norris q Rowe's trained ami
NAL show. MIR. Norris and myself can
explain the success we have met with
in the amusement line, and that is, that
we have made it our religion to keep
faith with the public and do as we agree.
1t is not many years ago that we started
with few dogs on a tour of the country
giving entertainments in town halls, on
street corners or any other place that
we could secure. We did not have any
money to speak of, but we did have nerve
and our resolution to keep faith with the
public in all things. AS a result, we have,
as is generally known, laid a foundation
for the most successful institution of its
kind in the world That old saying that is
attributed to the late p. 7. Barnum that
the American people like to be humbug-
ged, in my opinion, doesn't hold good
today. l have seen many a bright young
man go wrong trying to make a living
without working for it, or trying to hum
bug the public. | have seen many So
called showmen go broke trying to do
the same thing. One thing is certain: If
you fool the public once, they are done
with YOU If [ had a son, the best adj
vice l could give him in entering bust
ness would be, first of all, have some
thing good, clean and pure to give the
puUlIC, Tell JIeu the ABOUT keep
on telling them all the time and use
plenty of printers ink. 1t costs money,
but it will come back; use lots of it.
The public is skeptical about anything
connected with a tented exhibition
have frequently called to transact bust
ness with some gentlemen and was warm
ly received in his private office until he
found out that 1 was with a tented show,
and then he would become restless and
push the cash drawer to, kick the safe
door, shut and button up his coat, I sup
pose from fear that I would rob him of
even his wearing apparel. The general
trend of public opinion, however, is in
favor of the showmen, and it will con-
tinue to improve as he is better known
and understood
This is our first visit to st. Paul. and

STOLE SIX inch CANNON
THIEVES CARRY OFF TWO SPAN
ISL GUNS AT SANTIAGO.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. 13.-sev-
eral days ago it was discovered that the
two modern six-inch guns, comprising
the Punta Gorda battery. which com
mands the entrance to the harbor Of
Santiago, were missing. This battery and
the guns of the S1copia battery were the
only modern cannon employed by the
Spanish against the United States war
ships with the exception of those landed
from the Spanish cruisers. Today the
harbor police discovered the guns, which
had been carried to a forest on the other
SIDE of the bay and been broken by ex-
plosives, ready for shipment as old metal
Several Spanish ships had been search
ed by the police who had expected to
discover that the guns were being shipped
by the Spaniards to Spain The sentries
guarding them were removed six months
ago. 1t was considered impossible to
carry off the guns and there was no fear
OF malicious destruction. The thieves are

SAVE LEvEE RIGHTS
WEST SIDE RESIDENTS WILL SEEK
REDRESS FROM A GREW
ANCE
APPEAL To THE CITY COUNCIL
improvements Now Being Made by
RciIrOnds Leads West Siders
to Conclusion of Guard
ing Their Interests.

Fearful of damage to their levee by
reason of the big fill and other improve
ments being made to the river front at
the union depot, West side property
owners and business men will shortly
appeal to the council for protection from
what they deem the ultimate destruction
OF their levee east of the Robert street
bridge.
When the depot fill was permitted, with
the natural disturbance of the current,
no thought, West siders say, was given
to the damage that must, as a matter of
fact, result to their levee. With Jhe
opposite bank of the river changed, they
claim the current will be thrown almost
directly against their levee front from
State street east, causing fatal wash
out. High water, they contend, will sim
ply add to its destructive qualities.
Rip-rapping, it is claimed, is about the
only thing that will prevent the damage
and this the council will be asked to pro-
vide. The situation has been under dis
cussion for some weeks and, at a meeting
of the West Side Improvement associa-
ton called for this evening, the anticipat-
ed danger will be thoroughly discussed.
Another matter booked for the atten-
ton of the West Side Improvement as
ISOLATION at it's meeting tonight, and
which the council will ultimately be
asked to, provide for, is protection to the
way to the Omaha road has been grant
ed by an act of the district court.
e.. PRESERVE, LEVEE RIGHTS.
The protection desired Is the passage
of an ordinance or some legislative act
that will preserve intact for the benefit
of West side manufacturers the levee
rights along the entire five miles, which
has been set aside for manufacturing
purposes.
While agreeing to the laying of tracks
along their river front the members of the
association wish to retain for the benefit
Of their people the right to- have access
to the river and If necessary maintain
wharves and other facilities necessary
for transportation by river.
Taking their cue from the opposite
side, where net work of tracks has
practically aleniated all levee rights
West siders wish to save themselves
from this fate and hope by acting at
once to have steps taken to prevent it,
With the Omaha tracks abutting the
river in the vicinity Of the baths, and
this followed by a street which it Is
proposed to construct between the Wa
basha street bridge and the baths, West
siders say manufacturers In that locality
would be completely shut out from the
use of the river as a means of transport
tation, did they wish such.

the contract was divided equally between
the three firms named. The aggregate
amount of the tea contracts was about

The action was brought by Warner to

resisted by Schiffnann who asserted that

this end in view he retained some Of
the best legal talent in the state, inc!ud-

time college mate and night school
friend, Oar Reese, clerk of the supreme
