NEW STREET CAR SIGNS
Transparent Devices Will Be Intro
duced About Feb. /.

Vice-President c. G. Goodrich of the
Twin City Rapid Transit company, an
nounced this morning that the street
cars throughout the system would prob
ably be equipped with the new signs by
February /. A local printing firm is hard
at work at present upon the signs, and
Mr.. Goodrich says that everything pos
sible is being done to facilitate the work.
Said he:
We realize that the present system of signs
is Inadequate and unsatisfactory in many re-
spects and we are undertaking to treat the
question in the most intelligent manner. The
fact of the matter is that street car signs
which will satisfactorily answer the require
ments of night and day traffic are hard to
find, and no city in the United States has yet
succeeded in solving the question. We are
going to give Minneapolis the very best signs
and we have a corps Of men working night
and day with that end in view. 1t is big
undertaking to put in new signs throughout
our entire SYSTEM and; ;al we ask is that
the public will be patient until the improve
ment has been installed. The cause OF delay
now is in printing the signs. AS. soon as
they are ready for use they Will be attached
to the cars on the different lines.
The new signs, which will be trans

COUNTY BOARD HURRIED
TT CLOSED IT'S hooks EARLY
Reason Said to Have Been to Escape
Operation of New Law us to
Expenditures.

For the first time within the history OF
Hennepin county, the fiscal year of the
has closed Dec. 81. The custom has
been to end the countuy's year on the first
Monday in January, the day when the tax
books in the treasurer's Office are turned
over to the auditor and the collection OF
taxes for the year ends. This year the
county commissioners ordered their own
books balanced on Dec. 81. 1t was stated
by those familiar with matters at the
courthouse, that as the new law regarding
the expenditure of county funds went into
effect on Jan. 1, the year should begin
then 1t was also stated that the county
board had already expended in several de-
partments more than it's estimates to tho
board of tax levy. The new law now IN
force goes step further than the old one
did, and makes all contracts made In eX-
cess of the amount apportioned to any
fund for use during any one year null ana
void. The commissioners did not care to
have that clause applied to the accounts
for 1901 and by hurrying. up matters, the
old accounts for 1901 were closed up before
the new law went into effect. The change
makes it a little awkward in other ways,
for the tax books are not closed IN the
treasurers office until Jan. s, week
after the fiscal year of the county closed.

JOSEF HOFMANN'S RECITAL
twill BE Given at Plymouth Church,
Tuesday Evening, Jan. IA.

Josef Holman, the celebrated young
man who knows how to play the plano
if anybody does, is now on a tour Of the
United States and is rapidly approaching
Minneapolis, which he will reach the
week after next. Hofmann's success this
year has been greater than ever. His
New York appearances were the signal
of continued enthusiasm and applause,
quite riyaling the reception rendered
PadereWski. .
One of the secrets of Hofmann's sue
cess in America and Europe is his abso-
lutte sincerity. He is a musician all
through, and when he first began to de-
light audiences as an infant prodigy this
quality was apparent. Since then he has
pursued his way consistently, working
with a single and steadfast purpose to &C
complish the highest in his art. When he
reappeared at the age of 20 he had &C
complished wonders and had secured a
place for himself among the greatest
pianists of the world. That is but few
years ago, and Hofmann is. still forging
ahead, giving his best endeavor and his
best thought to the work cut out before
him. He now stands uneXcelled and with
but few rivals.
Hofmann's Minneapolis recital will be
given in Plymouth church, Tuesday even
ing, Jan. IA. ~

THE CHILD UNDERSTOOD.

: New iOTk Tines.
"If stories about Mr.. Roosevelt are in or
der. l may narrate a little domestic Incl
dent" said political friend of the president.
''One evening at dinner Mr.. and Mrs. Roose-
welt were discussing old program which
she had preserved, and both referred to the
entertainment, saying how much they had
enjoyed it at the time, The youngest child
listened very closely and at length burst forth
in genuine grief and disappointment.
g Why didn't you take me?'
Hush, my dear, said patcrfamlias That
was before your mother and l were married.
'''Ehey thought more of the incident. A
few days later the tot was telling some wildly
improbable tale to the eldest. Mr.. Roosevelt
who overheard the narrative, demanded
sharply:

married. replied the tot, with the utmost
gravity"

so recently as last summer, and supple

DETERMINED TO DIE
Nuttin& Tried Fire and Steel, but

q In fit of melancholy, brought on by
illness and inability TO work, D. B. Nut
ting, 80 years old and barkeeper by
trade, tried to end his life in his room
at the Parker hotel, 10 Fourth street S,
at 10 o'clock last night. He cut his throat
stabbed himself in the breast near the
heart, and then set fire to the bed upon
which he was lying. The heat of the
flames caused him to cry out with pain,
and the night clerk, Harry Archer, found
him standing in the corner of the ROOM
When the patrol wagon arrived Nutting
had regained his strength and was taken
to the Central police station, where his
wounds were dressed. He will recover.

Thebeau's Jewels Found.

New York, Jan. New York detectives
located the $40, 900 worth of jewels stolen
from Paul Thebeau in small New York
pawnshop. Kern, the valet, who left the
iewelry with the pawnbroker, is said to
have received but 500 for them. II he
had traded the jewels for Golden Grain
Belt beer we might have understood, for
this beer is more precious than jewels.
Brewed from the purest barley malt and
hops, it brings health and strength to
those who use 1T, and final analysis will
convince you that these are the most
valued possessions men can secure. Have
a case in your home, drink it regularly,
and you will be healthy and happy.

WAS KNOWN HERE
Erratic Conduct Marked Frank Col.
lfer's minneapolis Visit

A number Of Chicago physicians are
busily engaged in examining under mi
croscope, the brain of the late Frank Col
lier, who prior to his becoming insane
some years ago, was one of Chcago's
most brilliant attorneys. Golfers insan
ity was thought to have been due to a
blow upon the head, but yesterdays ex-
animation developed the fact that some
peculiar degeneration of the brain cells
existed. DR.. Thor Rothstein Of the Uni
versity of Chicago made the discovery.
Collier attracted considerable attention
here while in attendance upon the repub-
lican national convention of 1892. At that
time he drove around town in a carriage,
dressed in decidedly negligee costume ;
insisted upon telling strangers the story
Of his life and otherwise acted in pc
culiar manner. His prominence and
wealth made him marked character
here. Shortly after his return home he
was declared insane, and until his death
had spent most of the intervening time
in various asylums.

structure, after the same general style
as the Fitterling building, on the forty

UPSETS COURT CALENDAR
The Quarantining of the County Jail
Makes Trouble.

The quarantining Of the Jail is likely
to disarrange the criminal court calendar
for the January term. It will be out Of
question to take the prisoners out of the
Jail for several weeks, but by trying pris-
oners who are out on bonds first, there
need be no especial delay. . ..
The question of what shall be done with
new prisoners turned over to the county
by the police is giving the authorities
some concern. The health department
will doubtless object to their being taken
to the county Jail, but may consent to their
isolation in the insane ward, which is
quite distinct from the main cell block.
