ITY OF CITY'S MAYER
REWARD
TAKEN OUT OF WRONG FUND
Resolution May Have to BE Passed
Again in Order to Assure
Collection of the
Money.

Including offers made by the state,
county and city, there is now a standing
reward Of $l,50O for the capture and con-
Vlctlon OF the parties responsible for the
murder of Policeman George Mayer, but
some doubt exists as to whether the city
portion Of it can ever be collected
The resolution passed by both branches
OF the council STIMULATES that the $500
which is promised for the capture Of the
murderers shall come out of the gem
eral fund, but the legal department is
doubtful if the amount can be collected.
1t should, they say, have been made
payable from the mayors contingent
fund.
The publicity given the murder and the
size of the reward has caught the atten-
ton Of detective agencies and individuals
all over the country, and letters are be-
ing received daily inquiring as to
whether the reward offered is bona-fide.
The offer made by the state and the
county is unquestioned but there is seri-
Gus doubt as to the citys part in the
matter. 1t is probable that the resolu-
ton will be recalled, and any technical
flaw existing corrected.

A SMOOTH YOUNG MAN
Had A REAL RELIGIOUS RECORD.
BUT A BAD MEMORY.

There are some people in st. Paul who
would like to know who Alfred Lewis is
and whittier he has flown. About a week
ago Lewis came to st. Paul and visited
the Y. M. G. A. rooms, where he became
acquainted with one Of the assistant sec
retaries, to whom he displayed what pur-
ported to be membership card In the
Y. M c. A. He also insisted that lie was
strict church member and belonged to
the Methodist church He was rather
well appearing, and quickly won the con-
fidence of the assistant secretary and
some Of the latters friends.
His next move was to get his newly
made friends to recommend him to a
family at 81 Summit avenue, where he
was given a room. He also succeeded
IN being introduced to the members or
the Ingleside club, 67 East Eleventh
street, where he was vouched for by the
assistant secretary, and he took his meals
at the club.
Last Saturday this smooth young man
disappeared, and with him are missing a
diamond ring and stick pin and various
other articles from the place where ne
roomed, while he still owes the Ingleside
club weeks board. He claimed that he
was working for the Great Northern Elk
press company, but this statement was
found to be false

The early arrival of the B., C. r. & N

is being substantiated by the daily is
suance of permits by the city building

The company by purchase, acquired
several blocks in the vicinity Of State

which incumbered them are fast Deing

real <estate circles on the West side
have been unusually active of late.
The new railroad company's terminals,
including new freight house. will be
near the river, and the improvements
also contemplate the throwing up Of an

bankment. should the Union Depot COM
pany arrange for further fill on its
side of the river, will be continued for
several blocks west.
Another Improvement which promises

present the company intends to simply
make additions to the value of $4,000,
but an entire block Of ground west Of
the Waterous Engine works has heen
secured and will be covered with sub
stantial buildings in the near future.
Piling and lumber for the new buildings
is now being hauled to the grounds.
During February last year the build

PROTEST OF MINISTERS
WILL OPPOSE REVOKING OF PA
troll LIMITS.

A delegation of ministers are prepar-
ing to appear at the meeting of the COM
n1ittee on streets of the assembly next
Monday and protest against the revok-
ing cf the patrol limits to the extent
of taking the southwest corner of South
Wabasha and Water streets out of the
prohibition district.
The Schli1 Brewing company has
erected q building on this corner and de-
sire to use it for saloon purposes. One
block south of this corner three saloons
exist. The ministers hold that the sa-
loon would be on a street leading to
the pablo baths, and would have a de-
moralizing effect.
DR.. Ohage, who had the patrol limits
established, says he has no objection to
the corner being removed, as his idea
was to stop anyone from opening such
a place at the direct entrance to the
island The cCrrer is a quarter of a
mile from the bridge leading to the
baths.
The ministers, however, including Rev
G. S. INNS and DR.. F. M. Rule, say
it should not be done, and are making
a canvass of the assemblymen protesting
against it.

to be expected that some good horses
will be entered to participate in the con
test.
Another feature Of the arrangements
made at the meeting of the circuit which
is favorable to the racing meet here
during fair week is the arrangement of
places so that the distance of shipping
from one set of races to another is not
great. The meet for the week imme-
d1ately preceding the one in st. Paul
is at Columbus Junction Iowa The next
week the circuit will hold races in Mil
waukee. This makes it convenient for
owners Of horses, as it is not necessa-
ry to ship a long distance, and the
horses will be in good shape for the
contests.
Mr. Randall says that owing to the
favorable arrangements secured in Chi
cago the races at the fair this year prom

The entries do not close until July l.
and it is not possible to say just what
horses will be in the races, but it is
