VIOLATED GAME LAW
o. w. MCGEE, OF BENSON, KILLED
PRAIRIE CHICKEN.

S. +. Fullerton, executive agent Of the
state game and flsn commission returned
yesterday from Benson, Mimi, where he
went in the early part of the week to
superintend the prosecution of q resident
of that place who had been arrested for
alleged violation Of the game laws. The
defendant in the case was o. w. Nc
Gee, a veterinary surgeon who, it was
alleged, had nine prairie chickens in his
possession az the time he was arrested.
He was offered an opportunity to com
promise the case by pleading guilty to a
charge Of having killed three Of the birds
and paying a fine of $50 which would be
the minimum, under the law; but he pre-
ferred to fight It out and demanded
jury trial.
I'VE win give him all the fight ne
wants." said Mr. Fullerton yesterday,
speaking Of the case. He was found
guilty Of having killed the three birds
and fined $50 for tha., beside having TO
pay $36 costs which would not have ac-
crued had ne pleaded guilty. We have
also had him held to the grand jury for
the killing OF the other six birds ana
should he be indicted it VIII certainly
go hard with him for the district court
usually imposes the maximum fine which
is S25 for each bird, while the justice
court is more lenient and is content with
the minimum fae OF $40 for each bird

SITE IS UNExCELLED
COL. RAY WORKING ON THE NEW
RIFLE RANGE.

with sufficient money and a months
time l can make the new range which
We are building near Fort Smelling the
best in the United States" said Col. Ray
yesterday. LAS far as a background is
concerned, the hill which has been Sc
lected is 12S feet high, and will form the
highest on any government range in this
country. The range is 1000 feet in
length and is so level that practically
no grading is required. There is a grad
ual rise, which amounts to ten feet in
the aggregate, and this is just what we
want
Il have commenced work on clearing
the woods, which at present lie in the
way of the range, and the preliminary
survey has been made for the entire
length. I have also discovered a spring
just at the place where the targets will
be placed, and this will be a great con-
venience to the men who will do the
scoring, for they will have no occasion
to leave their posts on any day on which
shooting may be going on.
II may not be here to see the range
completed said the colonel, "but any
expert on the subject will agree with
me that the natural advantages of the
site are superior to any at present in
use by the army department.

QUESTION ! OF POLITICS
DOUBT AS TonNEw OFFICERS OF
STATE SOLDIERS HOME.


The annual meeting of the board OF
directors of the State Soldiers home will
be held next Tuesday, and it is expected
that at that time the officers of the in
stitution for the ensuing year will be
elected. Considerable interest is felt in
the result of this election from the fact
that the present incumbents of most of
the offices owe their appointment to the
influence Of former Gov. Lind, and it is
naturally inferred that in political
sense they are not uniformly satisfactory
to Gov. Van SAINT. The officers to be
appointed are the secretary, whose Of
flee is in this city; the commandment of
the home, adjutant, quartermaster, sur
geon and chaplain, all of which are resi-
dent officers, at the institution Com
mandant Compton is said to have the in
huence of Gov. Van SAINT in his favor,
and his reappointment is. considered to
be likely, although Capt. w. P Dun
nington, now member of the board
would like the position and has made
quite fight for it, in which he has the
backing of his friends in the G. A r.
Strong Grand Army influences have
also been at work, it is said, in favor of
the retention of some of the present Of
ficers, end much doubt is felt as to what
the result of the election will be.

COST CANNOT BE SPREAD
WIDENING OF SIBI.EY MUST BE
PAID BY PROPERTY OWNERS
Corporation Attorney Markham
Says Common Council Cannot
Employ General Fund for
This Purpose.

The cost for the widening of Sibley
street in the vicinity of the union depot
must be paid for by the property bene-
fitted. The charter will admit of no
other course or plan.
A week ago the legal department made
public an opinion to the effect that no
part of the cost could by authority Of
the common council be taken from the
general fund, and last evening Corpora
ton Attorney Markham further strength
ened it by holding that any scheme to
burden the budget with proposition to
purchase the property for public pur-
poses would be an invasion of the city
charter.
The board of public works in a few
weeks will be in possession of a prelini-
nary order demanding the widening of
the street, and at the hearing it is ex-
pected that vigorous opposition will be
made by those on whom the cost will
fall. H. H. Fuller, who represents a
number of the property owners ON the
street and in the near vicinity, has made
several attempts to have the improve
ment held up, but so far the council
has been obdurate
Under its agreement with the city the
Union Depot company is to bear it's share
of the burden Of cost, and any evasion,
the members say, would practically re-
lieve the company of its liability. The
cost of the Improvement will be nearly
$50, 0G0

FLAT RENTS HIGHER
LANDLORDS WILL RAISE PRICES
FROM ONE TO FIVE
DOLLARS
OWNERS HAVE GRIEVANCES
Increased Price of Coal Said to BE
Responsible for Sudden Rise
Real Estate Mans
Plant.

The salaried young man who conteTn-
plates matrimony this fall and who has
pictured in his minds eye a cosy fiat
that will shelter, at low rental, two
souls with the single thought, will have
to alter his calculations slightly Hard
hearted st. Paul landlords have resolute-
ly turned their backs on pleading cupids
and raised the rents of their flats. This
increase in the rent of apartments and
flats is not confined to one district in the
city. but Is general. Several real estate
agents seen yesterday gave but one rea-
son for this increase in rents-the high
price of coal
las it is" said one real estate man to
the G yesterday, FLATS and apart
ment houses are very poor paying in
vestments in ST. Paul, and now that
coal has reached the figure it has, few
landlords will be able to do more than
meet expenses with the rent from their
mats Take, for instance, a flat that
rents for $25. At least $40 or SIS must
be deducted from that every month to
meet expenses. Then tenants never take
lease for more than year and that
means. that every year the fiat must be
thoroughly renovated for a new tenant
and if this is done properly it means the
expenditure of two or three months
rental. In Chicago, New York and other
large cities of the East tenants are COM
PEELED to take a three-year lease, and that
means that repairs are to be made only
once every three years The higher
priced the fiat the more it costs for re-
pairs, for everything must be in keep
ing with the amount of rent asked Then,
too, tenants seem to have but little con-
science in the matter of taking care of a
flat. They apparently feel that they are
occupying the fiat for very short time
and the more damage they can inflict
on it the more chance there is of get
ting even with the landlord for imaginary
wrongs. If man rents a house and it
happens to be a little chilly in the morn
ing, he grins and bears it, congratulating
himself that he Is saving coal. But if
that same man rents a fiat there is no
thought of enduring a chilly atmosphere
cheerfully. He goes down and makes
row with the janitor and then on his
way down to business stops in and has it
out with the agent or owner and feels
himself injured for the remainder of the
winter. Lights must be kept burning in
the halls until the wee, sma' hours
when, as a matter of fact, a man who
lives in house would not think of such
an extravaganza. 1t costs more money
to build in st. Paul than it does in Min
neapoliS; therefore, flats, as a rule, are
cheaper in Minneapolis, although the rise
in the price of coal will doubtless affect
the Flour City tenants as it will the ten
ants of ST. Paul. The increase in reSlts
per month will be from 81 up to IS, it
depends upon the location. In very few
instances, however, will it be as much as
50. 81 and 81 raise will be the most
that tenant will have to fear He
need not grumble, however, for If he
stops to think minute he will find that
the landlords have the worst of it.

PLAN MORE BOULEvARDS
PORTLAND AND ASHLAND AVENUES
WILL BE BEAUTIFIED.

A favorable report was made yester-
day by the board of public works on
the proposed boulevarding and curbing
of Portland avenue, from Victoria street
to Lexington avenue. The work will
cost the property owners, $5,021 or Los a
front foot.
The board gave the contract for the
boulevarding and curblng of Ashland
avenue, from Dale to Victoria street, to
Fielding & Shepley, their bid being
$4,0S5. The cost to individual property
owners will be SLOT front foot.
Bids for the long-delayed macadamiz-
ing of East Seventh street, from Hope to
Atlantic street. will be received Aug. 20.
The improvement represents an expendi-
ture of $21, 49, or $3.50 a front foot An
effort was made by some OF the aldermen
to pave the street with asphalt, but it
failed because of the cost. The present
attempt to improve the street Goes not
include curbing. This when put in will
cost the property owner 81 a front foot,
The street car company will also be
taxed for the work

The county board of equalization re-
assembled yesterday afternoon, and took
up the report of the committee on retail
dealers, the majority of cases coming
under this head having been passed upon
some days agoae n
The committee reported that the as
sessment of Field, otSchliek & Co. and
of Mannheimer Bros, over which there
has been some contention, had been fixed
at $4,000 each, and Billiard Bros. the
jewelers., were assessed $500, this being
the amount agreed upon. In this case
the firm returned Sc, 500, which was raised
by the assessor to $4,000
The Eagle Pants Manufacturing COM
pany, which made a return to $780, and
which was raised to S1,70O, objected to
the advance, and the matter was re-
ferred to the committee on miscellaneous
assessments.
The assessments against the following
were raised to the amounts designated:

AWARDS ON OMAHA SPUR
COMMISSION sUBsIITs A LENGTHY
AND EXHAUSTIVE REPORT
City's Share Is $500, and other
Property Owners Have Right
to Appeal if Dis
satisfied.

The report of the special commission
appointed by the district court to ap-
praise the value Of property condemned
for the right of way of the Omaha road,
on the West side, was submitted yester-
day, and it is a very voluminous and
formidable document, taking up many
pages Of typewritten copy.
The commission, which was composed
of Frederick BayaRd, J. ]. Egan and e.
NJ. Ware, spenl thirty -eight days in it's
work, which was very laborious and the
total award amounts to about SIT, 900.
OF this amount the city is awarded So,
800 in compensation for land taken by
the road, and most of the awards are
for small sumsJethe report being accom-
panied by descriptions of each piece of
property taken and a blue print map
showing the route of the new spur track
of the Omaha road for the construction
of which, the condemnations were made
The right to appeal is received by the
property owners, who may be dissatisfied
with the awards, but after the report is
once confirmed by the court, the road
will have the right to proceed with the
construction of the track over the land in
question. ttesa
For their work each of the commission
ers earned $3.50, or $40 a day, which does
not include necessary expenses.
CITY ISsUNDECIDED.
The city regal department has not de-
cided what it will do in the question OF
awards arising from the Omaha con-
domination proceedings on the West side.
Assistant Corporation Attorney Stob-
bart was yesterday made acquainted
with the report of the commission maxi
ing the award of damages, but he was
unable to state whether the city would
accept the amount set aside OF appeal
from the awards. -
The majority of the factories on the
West side occupy ground leased from the
city, and in the list of awards those
abutting the Omaha stub receive more
for damage to their leaseholds than the
city is given for ground taken which.
they at present occupy. Where the
companies receiye from $500 to $500 for
damages to leaseholds the city is given
about $50 for small pieces of ground
taken. No. Aa.srf-
Ordinarily the5 damage to leaseholds
should revert to the city, but when the
leases were given by the city the pres
ence of track was never thought of,
consequently the city is the loser.

TRUST IN SOFT COAL
GENERALIZATION OF TRADE IS
PARTIALLY ACCOMPLISHED.

There are now prospects of combine
on soft coal as wen as anthracite and
in fact, it is reported that a partial cen
tralization of trade in that commodity
has already been accomplished The
Pittsburg Coal company, which is known
as the bituminous goal trust, has, it is
said, secured a controlling interest in
the business ofAdfie Northwest by the
acquisition of thee Pioneer Fuel company
and the Youghiogheny and Lehigh com
pany, as those TWO companies control
about 60 per cent of the Northwestern
trade. The trust, it is said, is also ne
gotiating for and will probably secure
the Northwestern Fuel and Ohio COM
panies, which will leave only four of the
smaller companies outside of the com
bination.
In the past the soft coal business has
been handled by the dealers independent
ly and without any particular agreement
as to prices.

BE GIVEN UP
ASSEMBLY AUTHORIZES NEARBY
TO GIVE UNION DEPOT COM
PANY A DEED
ALDERMEN TO PASS ON IT
Special Meeting VIII Probably Be
Called at Which Desired Per-
mission VIII BE
Granted.

The assembly last evening authorized
Comptroller ]. J. McCardy to sign and
deliver to the Union Depot company the
deed conveying to them that portion of
the city levee below Sibley street neces-
sary for the expansion of the yards, and
on which improvements are now being
made.
For week Comptroller McCardy has
held out against the request Of the COM
pany that it be given possession of the
deed and action was taken last night on
a Joint note from Mayor Smith and Mr.
McCardy who asked the wishes of the
council in the matter.
Mr. McCardy based his refusal on the
depot levee ordinance, which contained
a provision authorizing the mayor,
comptroller and city clerk to deliver the
deed only on compliance with the terms
of the ordinance, which, according to his
Interpretation, included the improve
ments which the company is to make
and give In return for the grant.
Some of the members desired the
matter sent to the committee on streets.
but Corporation Attorney Markham in
formed the members that the city was
amply protected, and on his assurance
the authority to deliver was given.
Mr. Markham explained that holding
up the deed would hamper the work of
the company and perhaps bring it to an
abrupt stop. Under it's agreement with
the Milwaukee road, whose buildings
will be transferred to the fill now being
made, the depot company was to deliver
to the Milwaukee road a deed to the
IeVee in return for deed to the ground
it now controls, and without consent on
the part of the city work would have
to stop. The deed in itself he held was
sufficient assurance that the improve
nnents must be carried out as agreed,
otherwise it would be void.
The question will now come before the
board of aldermen and as every day
means delay it is probable that special
meeting of that body will be called to
give the required permission. Mr.. Nc
Cardy announces that he is willing TO
sign and deliver the deed if the council
IS willing
