CITY NEWS
GRAY'S FORTE SILENCE.
MAY OR MAY NOT RUN FOR MAYOR
Advises Joe Mannix to Circulate His
Political Advice by Word
of Mouth.

This is the season for political specu-
lation assertion, contradiction and affirm
alton, and consequently little surprise was
occasoned when a st. Paul paper an
nounced, this morning, that James Gray
might be q candidate for the democratic
mayoralty nomination. The article printed
was not very definite in the statements
made In effect it said: Mr.. Gray will
won't be candidate.'
Compared with Mr.. Gray, personally
however, the newspaper article is mar
yetously luminous, for the former mayor
refuses positively to declare his inten-
tions. In fact, he says he hasn't yet made
up his mind.
When Mr.. Gray's attention was called tc
the Pioneer Press article this morning
he said:
'Wen, they don't say I'll run, and they
don't say l won't run. l can't say
they're wrong. What do you want me tc
say?"
''Have you made up your mind what
you will do?''
mo. I'll tell you what you might say
though. Joe Mannix has been advising me
not to run. Now, don't want Joe to think
Tn sore, because I'm not. Not bit. But
you might josh him a little. Just say
that his advice would gain larger cir
culation If he should push it along by
word Of mouth, and not print it in the
Pioneer You know Joe's pretty popular
He's got lots of friends. He's been 'ad-
Yising me not to run for some time.
THE law provides a way for a man tc
become candidate for mayor or for any
other Office. He must file certificate
with the county auditor. Now, haven't
done that yet but the auditors office is
still open and the campaign has not yet
c1OSed'

TO USE c. B. & 0. TRACKS
MILWAUKEE, AVOIDS A GRADE
In Return, the Burlington Will Use
the milwaukee Grade Going
Down Hill.

BY an agreement with the Burlington
road, the Milwaukee will avoid the neces-
sity of cutting down the big grade be-
tween st. Croix Junction and Langdon,
MINI. 1t is understood that the two
roads agree to use each others tracks
between St. CroiX Junction and st. Paul,
which practically means a double track
for each for twenty miles and will great
ly increase the traffic facilities of both
roads.
st. Croix Junction is the crossing point
Of the two roads near Hastings. They
again cross at Newport, twelve miles
north. Between St. Croix Junction and
Langdon, on the Milwaukee. there is a
heavy grade which interferes with west
bound traffic. The program is to run
west bound through trains of both roads
over the Burlington from st. Croix june
ton to st. Paul and east-bound trains
over the Milwaukee. II
The Burlington, Cedar Rapids & North
ern, controlled by the Rock Island, is also
interested. 1t has had an arrangement
for entering the twin cities over the Mil
waukee. 1t reaches Newport over the old
belt line, which it absorbed and with
which it connected at 1nver Grove by an
extension from Rosemont. The double
track agreement between the other two
systems will accommodate the trains; 5o1
the Cedar Rapids road from Newport tC
st. Paul. Between st. Paul and Mime
apolis the Cedar Rapids will use the Mil
waukee short line.

COAL WORRY CONTINUES
B1TUMINous UNSETTLED NOW
Uniform Prices Have Been Estab"

usually Low.


The coal situation for the northwest is
in a queer condition. Stocks are lower
than usual at this time Of the year, a
strike among the coal workers in anthra-
cite fields is possible which might result
in a sympathy strike of soft coal miners,
calling out at least 100000 men. 1t is
said that every day. of navigation will be
needed to get the stock piles into shape.
One winter is just over and already wor-
nv has begun as~to the next season.
Beginning May 1, uniform prices to be
maintained firmly were established for bi-
luminous coal This applies to all grades
Last summer consumers were able to con-
tract for the season supply at 1885 to 81
ton Now Youghiogheny lump and the
best grades of bituminous are quoted at
s4.10 on tracks and $3.35 delivered. This
season contracts for future delivery will
not be made by dealers except subject to
an increase of 25 cents a ton for the
season above the figures quoted to-day
The market price for month to month
delivery will probably be somewhat less
than the contract price for future deliv-
cry.

MUCH MONEY SAVED
First Report From Sheriff Since
Fee System Was Abolished.
COST OF RUNNING JAIL IS LESS
Net Saving Since the New Plan Was
Put in Operation Is
$545.

E Sheriff ,Dreger to-day completed his
first report under the new system, which
places the office under the salary system,
and turns all the fees into the county
treasury.
Apparently tine county will save by
the new plan, although the figures have
not been thoroughly analysed, as Mr..
Dreger reports SIMPLY on the receipts and
the amount of county work performed IN
service of papers and similar duties.
The cash receipts from private sources
were S2S7.76, and the county services un-
der the old fee system would have
amounted to $S90.76
This latter sum does not include the
attendance of the hailitfs in the court
rooms and on the petit and grand lurles
No record is kcct Of their work, as they
are all on salary. But under the fee sys-
TEN the county would have paid more
than 5000 for this attendance.
The oa.rcll Of the Office outside OF the
Jail amounts to 81 Asa, thus indicating a
net saving of about $3.50.
1t cost for salaries and supplies SILL tc
run the iai! last April. Under the Ole
plan, at the rate of At cents per day fol

county SIPS, says Captain Alexander. thus
making another apparent saving Of $2lo.

AN ARMY STORY

New York Commercial ADVERTISER, -
The following story is tod of an incident
that occurred when the fu1l-blown rank OF
army doctor was still a novelty. The wife OF
Captain De Smythe, whose baby was in the
throes of teething, wrote to the garrison doc
tor as follows: =. -,J
Dear DR.. Philgrave-1 should be glad II
YOU could come round and see my baby this
afternoon as the poor darling is having
good deal of trouble with his teeth. Yours
very truly, Angelina DE emythe.
"P. S.-Please bring your lancet
She received in reply the following letter;
Colonel PhiIgrave presents his compll-
ments to Mrs. De Smythe and begs to inform
her that he cannot regard any communication
addressed to DR.. #Philgraye as intended for
himself.
Whereupon the lady, meekly accepting the
rebukes of her breach. of etiquette. sat down
and wrote her letter, word for word, over
again, but beginning "Dear Colonel Phil
grave" When, however, she arrived at the
postscript she felt d. certain amount OF deli
cacy about mentioning anything so essentially
unmilitary as lancet, and so when the gal
liant colonel received the revised note he found
that the p. S. ran: Please bring your
sword"

The Only Way to Enforce Dairy
Herd Inspection.
HEALTH DEPTHS HANDS ARE TIED
Till the Legislature Can BE Reached
49, Conditions May Be
.--:s- 1..'.} = -: =. ~.
.--s-. f.- MenacinS.

About 25 per cent Of the milk and cream
consumed in Minneapolis daily is fur
nished by dairy herds that have not been
tested for tuberculosis. Under the recent
decision of the supreme court there is no
chance Of Improvement, until the next SEES
sion Of the legislature, . ~. ',.., r..
Prior to 1896 the, local health depart
ment had jurisdiction over all the milk
coming into the city. Inspectors were
free to test outside herds, but. no charge
was made In that. year, owing to the
pressure of the inspections inside the
county, the city council passed a milk
ordinance amendment to the effect that
the inspection of outside herds should be
done by other veterinarians than those in
the employ of the city. This threw the
expense of tests upon the dairymen them
selves, with the result that, in most cases,
they refused to have the tests made. In
some few cases the receiving companies in
Minneapolis have taken it upon them
selves to pay for inspections.
The supreme court decision invalidates
the 1896 amendment: and throws the health
ordinance. This gives the department
ample power to send inspectors into the
country to perform the work, but it must
be done without cost to the dairymen.
The health department has only funds
in hand this year to test the herds with
in the county, and moreover, it would be
quite impracticable for the department
to take the larger task upon itself. 1t is
held that the only proper remedysis for
the next legislature to pass law extend
ing the Hennepin and Ramsey county
system of dairy inspection to the state at
large, and requiring that it be done by the
state.
Last months inspection in the county,
says DR.. Keys, the city veterinarian,
ought to- show plainly.s enough the neces-
sity of an efficient system of dairy in
spection. Of the 727 COWS tested for
tuberculosis, 103 were found to be in
fected and were condemned. Of 40 cows
in one herd Is were condemned

STANDARD OIL
Differences Which Led to Withdraw
al From the Company.
New York Times.

al FROM the company.
New York Times.
In the early days of the Standard Oil COM
pany one of the heaviest stockholders was
the late Amasa Stone of Cleveland, whose
daughter Clara is now Mrs. John Hay. Mr..
Stone was at that time reputed to be the
wealthiest man in northern Ohio, figuring in
the directorate board not only Of the Stan
dard Oil company, but of banks and railroads
and rolling mills, and in everything having
the name of being very ..masterful' man,
1t was due to this last trait in the capitalists
character that he left the best money
maker with which he was ever associated
the oil company-whose president, John D.
Rockefeller was in those days scarcely
known outside of a narrow circle of Cleve-
land friends.
AS the story is now told, the cause of
Mr.. Stones departure from the board was
the quiet refusal of the young president to
be ruled by the older mans opinions. Sew
eral times there had been differences be-
tween the two, all Of which, however had
been smoothed over without any breaking off
of business relations. But at last, at a
board meeting held during evening in
the private Office of one of the directors,
came an open break. While Mr.. Stone was
laying down the law on some mooted point,
Mr.. Rockefeller interrupted him with:
"Just moment, Mr.. Stone. I want you
to know before TINS discussion goes any 1ur-
Their that you can run your rolling mills
and banks as you please, but you can't run
Standard OIL
There was moments silence, and then
Mr.. Stone said: II presume you stand ready
to buy my stock, Mr.. PRESIDENT"
To Mr.. Rockefellers Certainly Mr..
Stone merely said: 'Ill take 100000, and
my offer holds good from 10 o'clock to-mor-
row morning until quarter after" Then
he picked up his hat and walked from the
ROOM; 800
At 10 the next day friend of Mr.. Rookie
feller's was at Mr.. Stones office, and the
sale was consummated. 1t was this which
gave the present president of the great com
pany his first extensive holding of the Stan
dard Oil stock.

ELKS' PLANS ENDORSED
The Manager of Kansas City's Car
nival Says Street Fairs
Are Winners.

DR.. G. D. Gray, of Kansas City, who is
In Minneapolis to aid in the promotion
of a national horeshow associa tion is
also manager of the fall festivities and
carnival at Kansas City. He is very en-
thusiastic over the Minneapolis Elks'
June fair and carnival. He said to-day:
81 cannot speak too highly Of the plans
OF the Elks. Their scheme would do
credit to amy city in the country. I
never heard of such strong Midway attrac-
lions, outside of the big exDositions. I
am contracting with Manager George ia
bour to bring his shows to Kansas City
in the fall. 1 am also going to suggest
to our people that they follow the exam
pie of the Minneapolis Elks by charging
a general admission of so cents to the
Midway, instead Of trying to get the Wis
itors' money in drib]ets, charging him
10 cents for each show and in the aggre-
gate making it SO expensive for him that
he will come only once. There will be
attractions enough to Justify several
visits, and man can afford them when
such a reasonable charge is made. / am
q confirmed believer in the policy adopted
of giving the people their moneys worth.
81 am glad to see that the industrial
feature of the fair is to be made so
prominent. 1t will help your business
and manufactures. No more valuable OPP
portunity for advertising their wares and
working up trade outside of town, could
be given them. l will give you proof of
this assertion from Kansas City expert
cree with street fairs. Three years ago
we gave the last Of our street fairs and
netted $27, 900. 1t was managed by the
Elks, too, by the way. We wanted some
thing new, however, and during the next
two years dropped this feature from our
fall festivities. Result:-The next year
we lost 5000. Last year we lost $6,4O0.
Now our people are crazy for a street
fair again. We, have sold $50 spaces for
exhibitions by local business houses and
manufacturers, ALREADY. and the show
does not come until October. There is
not one of our business men who will not
attest that his exhibit paid him over and
over again. -
Minncap polls will have the same ex-
perience I will venture to predict.

a member of New York Lodge, No. /, be-

quently, unless other ST. Paul bosses sign
the scale before Monday morning, 100 St:
