era1 Statutes of 1894, which relates to the
time, place and manner of meeting by

That such a provision was not made for

pointment of the common council, in the

am, therefore, of the opinion that
while the power is in the common coun-

acting in separate session of its oppon-

The Cook county officers. who for a

to get Eddie McNichols within thelf
clutches, are beginning to understand
something of the laws delay War
rants, complaints, extradition papers, and
many other legal paraphernalia have
been thrown upon him with bewildering

he is many moons from Chicago yet.
Yesterday, for the sixth time, he was be-
fore the district court on habeas corpus
proceedings Attorney Lawler made the
usual objection to the papers in the case
being irregular. Judge Bum held that
the defects mentioned were not such as
to warrant him in discharging the prls-
oner and McNichols was again given
into Sheriff Justus' custody. Attorney
Lawler gave notice of an appeal to the
supreme court of the state, and this
will have to be heard before McNichols
can be removed to his former camping

HAD A LIVELY Time
BOARD OF CONTROL AND MAN
AGERS OF FARIBAULT INsTI-
TUTE LOCKED HORNS
BUT SMOKED PIPE OF PEACE
The Question of Purchasing Agent
Caused Some Friction, but No
Probability of Further
Differences.

The board of control had lively eX-
ecutiye session yesterday with the men,
bers of the board of managers for the
Institute for Detectives at Faribauit
but after an animated discussion every
thing was settled amicably, and there
will be no repetition of the normal board
fight
The question argued by the two boards
was the conduct and control of the In
stitutes at Faribault, and the scope of
the authority of the board of managers
The managers insisted that they should
be allowed to fix the salaries of en-
ployes, and to have some voice in the
purchase of supplies. The main discus
sion, however, was over the employment
OF purchasing agent at the three insti-
buttons. John r. ParshalI, formerly q
member of the board of managers, has
been for years acting as purchasing
agent without compensation, The board
of control asked DR.. ]. J. Dow, superin-
tendent of the School for the Blind, and
Supt. ]. N, Tate, of the School for the
Deaf, to act as purchasing agents for
their respective institutions. Both su-
perintendents asked to be excused from
this work and the board of managers
is anxious that Mr.. Parshall shall be
appointed purchasing agent for these two
institutions. The two superintendent
iS .dIeduy CROWDED WIN Work, and
there is some danger of losing Their
services, and the board of trustees is
anxious that this extra work be not i'm
posed upon them. The board of control,
after considerable discussion, agreed TO
investigate the case thoroughly and as
certain whether or not the duties of pur-
chasing agent would overtax the super
intendents.
For time the discussion is said to
have been rather lively. Judge Flan-
merry, of Minneapolis. one of the mem
bers of the board, said that the managers
might as well go out of business if they
were to have no say as to the fixing of
salaries Or the purchase of supplies
When all was over, however, everything
appeared lovely and the members of
both boards declared that no differences
existed between the boards.
In regard to the trouble reported at st
Peter, the board of control says it was
greatly exaggerated. Only three cooks
struck, and their places have been filled.
