WANT CLOSER UNION
THE WEST SIDE MANUFACTURERS
SHOULD LOOK OUT FOR
THEIR INTERESTS
LOOKING INTO CONDITIONS
Some Companies Have Not Observed
Promises Made When They
Secured Leases From
the City.

Closer relations with it's manufacturing
interests. the members of the West Side
Improvement association consider is nee
essary to their welfare as an organ "a
ton. and in line with this steps will be
taken shortly by the association to fos-
ter the desired good will.
Up to date few of the manufacturers
that are now enjoying fat concessions in
the shape of West side levee leases have
sought membership in the association
and at meeting of that body last night
the executive committee was instructed
to make inquiries as to the leases in ex-
istence. the requirements attending each
and the taxes paid by the several manu-
facturers
The information desired is for compila-
ton purposes, and to bring the manu-
facturers in touch with the association
and show to them that it is working for
their interests and others who may make
the West side their home.
1t may not be known, but the legal de-
partment of the city has been making a
quiet inquiry into the West side leases
now existing, the principal thing desired
being information that will assist in the
revoking of several leases which have
been made by the city, but which the
lessees have failed to live up to- In every

claimed that in number of instances the
requirements have been ignored. In two
cases the land is still held by the lessees,
but no buildings have ever been built.
1t probably is not known, but West
side levee manufacturers pay no real es-
tate taxes. the fact that they are on
leased ground relieving them of this bur-
den. One manufacturer, who controls a
frontage of nearly seventy-five feet abut-
ting on one of the principal thoroughfares
on the West SIDE has a fifty-year lease,
with the privilege of renewing it for an
other twenty-five years.

SAYS ERWIN is WRONG
ED STEVENS CONTRADICTS HIS
THEORY OF TREASON.

The contention of w. w. Erwin, the
noted criminal lawyer, to the effeoS that
in New York, where the crime was COM
mitted, CZolgosz, the wouId-be assassin
OF President Mckinley, could be ad-
judged guilty of treason at common law
and punished accordingly, is not well
taken, according to Ed A. Stevens, wine
has been looking up the law. Says Mr.
Stevens:
"The common law is specifically abro-
gated by the penal code of New York
section 2, reading as follows: No act
or omission begun after the beginning of
the day on which this code takes effect
(Dec. 1, 1882, shall be deemed criminal
OF punishable, except as prescribed by
this code or by some statute of this state
not repealed by it.
Section 81 of the same code defines
treason against the state as follows:

pie of the state; or
Second-A combination of two or
more persons by force to usurp the gov
eminent of the state, shown by some
fercIble attempt, made within the state,

new YEAR BEGINS WELL
AUSPICIOUS OPENING AT MACAL-
ESTER FULL OF PROMISE
Conditions for Successful Work
Never So Favorable Before
Pupils and Teachers
Enthusiasts

large enrolment of pupils, a full
corps of enthusiastic teachers and free
dom from pressing debts is the pleasing
condition that Manchester college finds
itself in at the beginning of the fall
term, which opened yesterday at the col
lege. The Presbyterian institution has
had a rather uphill struggle ever since
it was founded. but. Judging from the
promising conditions that now confront
it, these struggles are of the past and
the future looks decidedly encouraging.
Should the institution receive an en-
dowment. it would quickly take rank
among the large Sectarian institutions of
the country.
The opening exercises at the college
yesterday morning were largely attend
ed in spite of the ineiement weather
DR.. Wallace, president of the college,
presided. DR.. John B. Helwig, pastor Of
the First Presbyterian church in Min
neapolts. addressed the pupils. Dr. Hell
wig congratulated the students on the
pleasant and profitable years work that
lay before them, and congratulated the
faculty on the suspicious opening of the
year. In the course of his address the
speaker referred to the attempted assassi-
nation of President Mckinley. He Wig
or&sly condemned the dastardly deed,
but he added that President Mckinley,
by his humane reference to his would
be assassin. had set an example that
others would do we'll to follow. Anarchy
could not be wiped out by threats of an
archy, and yet the thirst for swift and
terrible vengeance on Czolgosz that
seemed to consume so many people was
as much anarchy as the deed itself, for
both We're against law and order. DR..
Helwig said one of the best weapons for
fighting anarchy was Christian educa-
ton. DR.. Wallace briefly welcomed the
students yesterday.
A valuable addition to the college IL
brary has been made by Hon. A. L..
Moss. of Worthington. Mr.. Moss has
donated sixty nicely bound volumes to
the library. The volumes include refer
ence books. several law treatises and a
number of theological works. For col
lege of it's size Manchester is now in pos
session of a very good library. The fac
ulty of the college is practically the same
this year as it was last. R. L. Jones,
who was graduated from the school last
June, has been appointed teacher of
mathematics.

SHOOT THE CHUTES"
PUBLIC BATHS WILL BE PROVJnEu
WITH ATTRACTIONS NEXT
SEASON
0HAGE HAS MANY PLANS
He Proposes to Install Attractions.
Which Will Make Harriet
Islandra Popular
Resort.

Bad weather during August, DR.. Ohage
holds, was largely responsible for the de-
crease in the receipts of the public baths
during the season just closed, while a
lack of attractions in a minor way also
contributed.
The latter deficit Dr. Ohage hopes to
make good, ana in line with this desire
has decided to include among the i'm
provements for next year shoot the
chutes, 1t will be thoroughly modern
and will be conducted in connection with
the family pools. The strict separation
of the sexes has also contributed to make
the baths in a manner unpopular with
many, but this will be eradicated~ by the
construction of the family pool in which
children and both sexes will be allowed
to mingle.
Piling and lumber for the extension OF
the bathing pavilion has been hauled to
the grounds, and as soon as the weather
permits work on the proposed changes
and alterations will be commenced.
A roller coaster has been proposed for
the island, but the expense makes its
construction prohibltory. If private par
ties can be induced to put it up it may
be one of the many attractions for next
season.

CONSIDERABLE INCREASE
VALUATION OF STATE Is NINE
MILLION MORE THAN LAST YEAR.

The assessment rolls for the different
counties of the state, now under coll
sideration by the state board of equal
lzatlon, show marked increase in the
amount of personal property listed, of
nearly every character. The total valua-
tor has therefore been increased, al
though the rate of valuation has been
about the same. The board yesterday
considered the total valuations placed by
the different county boards on sheep,
hcgs, wagons, carriages and bicycles;
sewing and knitting machines, watches
and clocks, melodeons and organs and
pianos. The mean valuation to be placed
on sheep throughout the state was fixed
at $1.50, and on hogs at $3.50. It was
found that the Washington county board
had placed the valuation on live stock
very high in proportion to the other coun-
ties of the state, and it was reduced 80
per cent.
1t was found that the total valuation of
pianos in the state had increased $500, 900
over last year, and steamboats, and other
river craft $4,000. On the other hand
there has been decrease in the total
of bonds and stocks other than bank
stock

aggregate $123, 1865, 100, which is IS. 4S5, 807
more than the aggregate of valuation last
year. The increase in the assessors fig
ureS made this year by the county boards
is materially the same as last year.

WANT THE COST SPREAD
WEST SIDE PROPERTY OWNERS
HAVE A GRIEVANCE.

At the next meeting of the conference
committee an effort will be made by
West side property owners to have a
sum placed in the general fund for the
payment of the debt accruing from the
purchase of ground Cor the south ap-
proach to the Wabasha street bridge.
The ground originally belonged to the
Wagner estate, and in due course of time
underwent condemnation proceedings, the
commission placing the value of the
ground taken at $500. The assessment
against the AUDITING property was GER
titled Saturday, and it is this that those
affected desired to have paid out of the
general fund.
They contend that the Improvement is
of general benefit and should not be
taxed against any particular locality.

DANGER FROM RAIN
BLUFFS ALONG SOUTH WABASHA
SHOW SIGNS OF DIS
IMPORTATION
PERIL0US FOR PEDESTRIANS
Believed Best to Abandon Portion
of Street, as New Retaining
Wall Would Cost
Too Much.
PERILoUs FOR PEDESTRIANS

Though there is no immediate danger,
the rains of the past few days have dis
1ntegrated to a considerable extent the
soft sandstone of the bluffs along South
Wabasha street, and not a little anxiety
is felt by residents along that thorough
fare because of this fact.
Less than two months ago the city, at
cost of nearly $1,000, put in a partial
retaining wall at the base of Channel
street stairway. This in a manner has
offset what promised to be the ultimate
destruction of the stairway leading to
the top Of the bluff, but it is only con-
S1dered temporary and many think that
the first big storm will see it rendered
useless.
While this particular spot is in the
public eye because of it's accessibility to
the locality that skirts the bluffs above,
there is danger of falling masses of
stone from Channel to Colorado street,
and already suggestions are being Of
fered as to the best plan for doing away
with what may at any time result in
the death of some passing pedestrian.
In order to retain the street in it's
present shape and course a retaining
wall would be necessary, and this engi-
neers figure, would not cost a cent less
than $4,000. It would of necessity have
to be fully two blocks long and reach
Ing height that would call for consid-
cradle engineering skill in its construc-
ton.
AS a way out of the difficulty, the
proposition has been advanced to ahan-
don the street at that point and take in
territory to the east, where it skirts
what was formerly a ravine, from Col
orado to Plato This would cut out the
circle that exists along the bluff and
Straighten Wabasha street to a conSid-
cradle extent. The cost is placed at $40, :
600, against $4,000 or more for retain
ing wall that might in the end prove
only an experiment.
The matter has been taken up by the
West Side Improvement association, and
the aid of the authorities will be in
voked in settling the question.

The new smoke ordinance, placing the
nuisance under the jurisdiction of the
health department and permitting the

thinks the law is being violated, received
its official publication yesterday and is
now a law.
In the department of health four in
spectors have been assigned to this par
ticular matter by DR.. Ohage, and last
evening they were given their instruc-
lions by that official In brief their in
structions are to first secure the evil
dence and then file their complaints. The
department will try to do the rest.
Inspector Palmquist is the Nestor of
the bunch and to him has been dele
gated the duty of securing the evidence,
which will consist of photographs of all
offending chimneys. The camera, DIR.
Ohage holds, will not lie. and he pro-
poses to use it extensively.
While arrests will be the outcome of
the crusade unless warnings are needed,
DR.. Ohage says he will not work a hard
ship on any person, preferring to give
all a chance if it is shown that they are
doing everything in their power to abate
the nuisance In the business district
