A delegation from the Trades and Labor
council appeared before the ways and

County Treasurer Bell Stated that he had

could get better salaries elsewhere. He
argued that the salaries paid IN his de-
partment should be enough to permit him
to retain good help. He also said that it
should be paid the same wages.
Other officials cited cases where the SAL

first prize in a free-for-all amateur con-

The Journal office this morning which in
dicated that he is probably the strongest
man in Minneapolis to-day. He took an
Eeight-inch steel spike, wrapped a. hand

and bent it double with little effort. A
Quarterinch iron bar, six inches long,
offered no more resistance to his giant
strength. and then he tackled half-inch
iron bar, fourteen inches long, with the
same result. He accomplished the last
two feats with his bare hands alone.
F'rykman can drive an old-fashioned, six
inch, square-headed spike through 21a-

tore two packs of bicycle playing cards
into halves at a time and then, taking a

A MANS MOAN
He Complains That the Barber Does
Not Treat Him Well.
New Orleans Times-D

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
= I have noticed one thing that Is Pc
culiar to BARRIERS in all sections of the
country" said travelling man yesterday
land that is the fact that they never COM
spletely dry the customers face after hav-
ing smeared it with lather, dashed it with
perfumeries and other sweet smelling
things found In these places Wonder why
this is? Now, the most disagreeable
thing in the world is for a mans face
to feel wet. 1t is worse than wet feet.
1t is worse than the wetting which one
occasionally gets in leaking boat while
on fishing trip. The mistake is not
made by careless BARRIERS. The most ex-
pert men in the business overlook this
important thing Of drying ones face we'll
when the razor is laid aside. It is bad
thing for ones complexion, and It Is
even worse in it's effect on the skin of
ones face. This thing Of putting powder
on ones face before it Is dried Is an
determination in the sight OF men, Ones
face feels Ike wad Of dough-, and one
does not like to be dough face But this
same condition is met with everywhere
whether the barber is rushed, shaving a
man in minute, or whether he goes
about it in the most leisurely way mag
Unable He will do it slowly, patiently
deliberately. and occasionally I have won
dered If there was not an element Of mall
lite and affable fellows, and they do 50
many little things in an effort to make
one feel well and satisfied with the work.
that one is really ashamed to say any
thing about ones face not being dry
enough, and so the average man will lust
grin and bear it rather than hurt the
BARRIERS feelings"

lecture on Jan. 20.

and reformer should command the atten-

formers and strivers for civic betterment,
of all persons interested in social prob

books bearing on the work for the better
ment of New York city. AS police re-
porter he became interested In the slums
and their elimination and in many social
problems Using the power of the press,
he brought about many Of those reforms,
though he was "only a reporter The
books in which he describes the battle
with corruption, conservatism, ignorance,
prejudice and greed are intensely interest
ing. His latest book, '"The Making of an
American is an autobiography. 1t in
cludes, of course, running account of
the battle with the slums, but it has
a personal side and a vast deal of in

never revealed in the other books.
People like to see and hear men who dc

THEY WONT CAUCUS
At Least Two Republican Aldermen
Will Stay Away.
LANE WANTS TO BEFREE TO FIGHT

Canterbury.

Republican aldermen will caucus Fri
day evening, before the council meeting.
The only routine matters coming up are
the selection Of a chief of the fire depart
ment and the ward street commissioners.
1t is not at all certain that all republi-
can aldermen will be present. Aldermen
Lane and S. e. Adams have declared that
they will not go into caucus, and Alder
man Sutherland is very much in doubt
about his course. Lane is. going to make
a tremendous fight to displace Street
Commissioner Gillespie of the second
ward. Gillespie is Alderman Chatf1eld' S
appointee, and by the rules of the game
is entitled to one more year in office But
Lane insists upon a change. He prefers to
make his fight on the floor Of the coun-
Gil instead of in the caucus, end for. that
reason will stay out Of the caucus.
Alderman Adams says he can't see any
good reason for holding caucus, ana
will, therefore, stay away. Alderman
Sutherland's reasons are unknown. 9t..

for chief Of the fire department, but Ma
lone and his friends have been very ac-
tive for the past few weeks, and it is said
that they have strong hopes of breaking
into Canterbury's strength sufficiently to
make it an even thing or better The re-
suit largely rests upon their ability to
convince the aldermen that their man
would make better chief than Canter-
bury. The latter's record is not wholly
satisfactory to some OF the aldermen, and
personally he has his enemies, but the
aldermen must be convinced that his OPP
ponent is better man before they will
vote for change. Aldermen Dwyer and
Lane are said to be the original Malone
men and the foundation Of his support
in the council. - -n'..--

After disposing of these matters, the
caucus will likely consider the general re-

year, and an arrangement looking to a

NEW TURBINE SET
The New Power Is Ready for Pills
bury 4 Mill.

The large horizontal turbine engine
for the operation Of the west half of the
Pillsbury A MILL which was commenced
over year ago, has been finally COM
pleted. The turbine is located thirty
feet below the mill. In order to remove
the old wheel and provide a place for
the new enc. it was necessary to do
considerable eXcavating. The room for
the auxiliary engine was blasted out Of the
solid rock, as was the large hole leading
down to it from the MILL
Some anxiety was felt by the engineers
during this operation as the big mill st God
directly over: the work, and there was
danger Of caving CT the soft sandstone. A
tunnel was run in from the river and now
serves as a tail race. The famous rock
ledge on which all Minneapolis mills are
b;lilt now serves as a natural roof. The
work was superintendent by B. F. Fish, W no
was similarly employed for three years

ATTITUDE OF THE c. p. r..
May Not BE So Friendly as Eastern
Reports Intimate

The report emanating from New York
that James J. Hill has thorough UNDER
standing with the Canadian Pacific which
is to have an immediate effect upon the
policy Of the 500 road is not generally
credited by prominent northwestern rail-
way men. The report says that Lord
Strathcona and Lord Mount Stephen, who
have been associated with Mr.. Hill in
most of his big deals, are largely inter-
ested in the Canadian Pacific railroad,
and that through them Mr.. Hill is to ex-
ert some influence in Canadian Pacific
affairs; enough, at least, to assure him
the cooperation rather than the antagon-
ism of that system. @
The recent article Of Henry Clews, the
New York banker. on the Northern Sc
curities company, is considered partly re-
sponsible for this report. Mr.. Clews says
that before Mr.. Hill began work on his
plans of consolidation, he practically had
the assurance, because Of his friendship
with Strathcona and Mount Stephen, of
the moral support of the Canadian Pacific
railroad or practical working com
munity Of interest, with that road. If
this were. the case, the effect would not
be long in permeating the policy Of the
500.
Several men conversant with the affairs
of the Canadian Pacific have recently said
that although Strathcona and Mount
Stephen are friendly with Mr.. Hill, the
friendship does not extend to exerting
in his behalf any influence they may have
with the Canadian road. Strathcona holds
a large block of Canadian Pacific stock,
but he has never shown any disposition
to interfere in the management OF the
property, and it is freely asserted that
he never will as long as results are sat
isfactory. Lord Mount Stephen is cred
tied with the direct statement made ra.
Gently that his holdings in the Canadian
Pacific railroad are insignificant. The
Canadian Pacific is said to favor Hills
plan as 1t makes that road and the 500
the only competitors of the Hill system
in the northwest.

A WIFE'S LOVE

It Saves Pat Kenney From the Laws
Grip.
Pat Kenney was arraigned before Judge
Dickinson in the police court yesterday on
a charge of drunkenness. The evidence
showed that Pat had been slightly intoxi-
Gated and had been making things disa-
greeable for his wife and sick child. The
officer who mad e the arrest said thefman's
wife was just recovering from severe
Illness and was too lE,to appear.
Things looked blue for the prisoner and
the judge: was about to- give sentence
when the door opened and the man S wife
staggered into the room so weak that she
could scarcely walk. She took the stand
and, in voice barely audible, testified
that Pat was not a bad husband and that
he always brought his wages home, and
that she had not desired his arrest The
spectacle Of an abused woman rising from
sick bed and coming into court to beg
off the. husband arrested for abusing her
was wonderful proof of the loyalty that
some women pear the1r husbands. Judg-
! n1ent was suspended.
