CITY OFFICERS MOVING
The Mayor and Chief Of Police Lead
; the Van-Removal Complete
by Saturday.

This was moving day in the offices Of
the mayor and the chief Of police. The
rainy weather interfered somewhat with
the transfer Of records and other portable
property to the new city hall. but both
officials were confident of being ready for
business in their new quarters by to-
morrow morning. Mayor Jones declares
that he expected to sign a few official
documents on his new desk in the spacious
mayors chambers on the first floor late
this afternoon "just to get the sensation"
Most Of the new office furniture was put
In place yesterday.
! Some Of the other city offices have
moved some of their belongings to their
new quarters, but they will not cleo out
and "clear out" until Saturday. It will
be the aim of every department to open
up in the new city hall by Monday morn
ing. The city engineers office may COM
plete the moving process by Saturday
morning.
The city council has not yet authorized
the sale Of any city property, but as new
office furniture has been provided for the
new quarters, the old furniture, which
has done duty SO long, will probably be
knocked down to the highest bidder.

In GAELIC AND IRISH
Collection of Fifty Volumes Added
to the Atheneum's Possessions
at the Library.
They Are of Such Variety as to In.
terest Both Student and
General Reader.

Fifty volumes of Gaelic and Irish liter
allure, including poetry, history, folklore,
minstrelsy and textbooks Is the latest
addition to the Atheneum. English trans
lations as well as works in the original
make the collection as interesting to the
general public as to students, and once
the books are out of the cataloguing room
at the public library, it is expected that
students at the university will vie with
students OF Gaelic and with persons Of
Irish nationality or descent in making
use of them. For Irish Ballad Poetry"
delightful little volume of love songs,
patriotic poems, and ballads, while it
will appeal to every one, will Of necessity
| find it's warmest greeting among Irish
Americans. Other important works Of
general interest are ANNALS Of the King
dom Of Ireland" by the -Four Masters, !"
or four greatest Irish historians; Heating s
"History Of Ireland;' "Story Of Early
Gaelic Literature" and Irish Minstrelsy."
Most of these books are now out of
print, and the collection, which cost $500,
Is almost entirely second hand. M. F.
McHale, former state labor commissioner,
| and who Is a man of scholarly tastes and
attainments, was the agent in procuring
the volumes, and aided most materially
in making out the list.
The Gaelic script bears close general
resemblance to the Greek. But the Eng
| lish sentences in the grammar, with the
familiar stamp of feeble insipidity, help
| to reassure the most alarmed tyro. IF !
| eat apples I shall become thirsty, and if
I drink wine I shall become intoxicated
are examples of the collection, which
show the grotesque lengths grammariaps
| reach in their attempts to be simple and
lucid. A different style of writing is that
in the following stanza, the first in the
| Song of the Galloping O'Hogan,'' fam
Gus chief in the time of James II.
IIurra, boys hurra, for the sword by my side,
The spur and the gallop DER boys deep and wide
Hurra for the helmet an shining steel jack,
| The sight of the spoil an good men at my back
An Well sack and burn for king and sireland,
An chase the black foe from ould Ireland.
Very different from these rousing lines
are the closing verses Of 1.-THE Little
Black Rose the beautiful little poem ex-
pressing the hope for the final restoration
Of Ireland: sl. &e
The wounded wood-dove lies dead at last
The pine long.bleedng, it shall not diea
This song in secret, mine it passed,
In wind DER the plains at Athenry.

eager to accept contracts, and 1t is likely
that there will be comparatively few of
them in the woods this winter. Individu-
ally the cut Of these small firms is small,
but together it is large enough to be a
very considerable item in the total. ~
Last year conditions were bad and the
season was a full month short; yet few
Minneapolis firms expect a larger cut this
year. Several Of them now have crews
at work swapping and skidding. While
the Shevlin- Carpenter company cut co.
000,0 feet last year, it is likely that its
cut this year win not exceed SO, O00 900.
The Bovey-De Laittre< company, which
operates at Little Willow, near Aitkin,
expects to duplicate it's last seasons cut.
Nelson & Frey have three camps already
opened at Akeley and Eleventh Lake and
are looking forward to a good season. The
1tasca Logging company expects to cut
about 7O,0O0,000 feet before the season
closes; but, while individual firms say
their cut will not fall off, they also insist
that the total cutwill be considerably
short of that of year ago. '.'
Smallpox has appeared in some of the
camps, but improved sanitary conditions
have made its spread unlikely No adj
vance is expected in the price of lum
Der, which is declared to be as high now
las it can be put without curtailing sales.

Who Was Divorced and
Remarked. -.

Upon an applicable filed in the supreme
court by Mrs. Blanche r. Douglas, Chief
Justice Start has issued an order to the
defendant A. g.. Morey Of Minneapolis, of
the firm of Wyvell & Morey, to appear
Nov. "a and show cause why he should not
return certain moneys and securities to
Mrs. Douglas or be held in contempt of

The suit is brought under a provision of
the general statutes which gives the right
to plaintiff and client to take such pro-
ceedings provided that she gives security
to the attorney for any charges for profess
sional services. - -.
Mrs. Douglas first brought a suit against
Morey in the Hennepin county court and
that suit went to the supreme court on
an appeal from an order in the district
court overruling a demurrer to the amend
ed complaint filed by Foot & Wyckersham,
St. Paul. attorneys for Mrs, Douglas,
Mrs. Douglas demands that the defend
ant return to her $3.50 in shares of the
capital stock Of the Savings Investment
company of Milwaukee, worth $3.50, life

Society of the United States, worth 81, 100

Mrs. Douglas is the wife of Earl J..
Douglas of st. Paul and in 1899 brought
| against him a suit for a divorce. This suit
was brought in the courts of Wisconsin

| Gently inherited from his father. Mil
| waukee attorneys charged $1,000 for their
services in the divorce suit.
| Within a year Mr.. and Mrs. Douglas
were reconciled and married again. Mrs.
Douglas objected to the attorneys bill as
excessive. On the suggestion Of Mr.. Wy

she entrusted the settlement for a reduced

and handed it over to Morey, who is a
member of tho bar of Hennepin county.

| cupy offices in the Andrus building.
Mrs. Douglas says that the agreement
with Wyvell & Morey was that the ex-

$500, including the cost of visits to Mil
waukee. She says that Mr.. Morey re-
| quired her to give him a power Of attor-
ncy by which he controlled her property.
