The road builders did not construct
5000 feet Of road in the fair grounds
according to program In fact, only
about 800 feet of macadam had been COM
,pleted when the work ceased last Satur-
day evening. There are several causes
contributing to the failure to follow the
program. In the first place, the crew
was new to the work and did not work as
effectively as possible. The crushers and
other machinery did not work very steadi-
ly, as the manufacturers who had do
mated them were naturally anxious to
show them off to prospective purchasers
and thus delayed the work. The rains of
Tuesday night and broken water main
softened the road to such an extent as to
greatly interfere with effective work.

model road complain of scarcity of help,

MAY FIRE RUSSELL
Has Missing Member of Board of
r. Corrections and Charities Been
Guilty Of Neglect?
Council May Decide That He Has
and Deprive Him Of His
Place on Board.


1t is gradually being borne in upon sew
eral aldermen that it is about time that
William; M. Russell made some final an
nouncement as to, whether he intends to
discharge his duties as a member of the
board Of charities and corrections. Mr.
Russell left the city in a decided hurry
and has not yet informed the board as to
how long he intends to be gone or even
if he is coming back at all. 1t is the
general. sentiment that Russell should
have rendered his resignation long, ago,
as did his chief, Dr. Ames.
Mr.. Russell may be relieved Of the ne
cessity' of aresigning. He has now been
absent over four months. Good lawyers
say this is clearly neglect Of duty. The
council has power to remove members
from the board when found guilty Of
neglect of duty When some one
makes formal complaint to the city coun-
Gil it will be forced to act.
It. is understood that something of i'm
portance to Russell will happen in a few
days. =

USED Her HAIPIN N
Miss Anna Nelson Makes a Brave
Defense Against a Brutal
Highwayman.
Knocked Down and Clicked, She
Draws Hatpin and Offers
Resistance. 49,.

Miss Anna Nelson's skill in the use of
hatpin as a weapon of defense proved of
value in resisting the attack of a high
wayman last night
Miss Nelson is employed as a servant
in the home of David Simon, 2122 Aldrich
avenue. She was held up in q lonely spot
near Twenty street and Pillsbury
avenue, and although she lost nothing OF
value she was badly beaten by her as
sailant. G
Miss Nelson was on her way home from
church. when a man ,sprang out OF the
brush and commanded her to stop. He
then told her not to be frightened as he
wanted nothing but her money. The girl
informed him that she had no money. He
insisted that she should give him her
purse and when she failed to do SO
knocked her down. -
AS she fell she attempted to scream
for help, but the man sprang upon her and
began to choke her He threatened to kill
her if she continued to resist and then
began to search her for valuableS. In the
struggle Miss Nelson drew her hatpin and
made several vicious thrusts at the man.
The point of the pin struck something
hard and bent double. 1t was picked up
near the scene this morning by officers
detailed to investigate the matter.
Miss Nelson continued on to her home
after the man had been frightened away
by a wheelman. She was badly injured,
however. Both her eyes were swollen
shut and her lips badly cut.
The police are at work on the case.

Wisconsin Central, is reported as saying
at Milwaukee that the recent indictments
Of his company's officials by the federal
grand jury here was altogether unjust.
7ls75rtsS5 Special G. J. Possible. 2
Some persons profess to believe that the
sudden dismissal Of witnesses gotten to-
gether at an expense of $1,000 or more
was due to the fact that a special grand
5ury will be summoned to investigate the
cases of other officials and possibly of
offending shippers
w. r. Burt, president of the Ann Arbor
railroad, expects to sever all connections
with the company Sept 16. He says his
road had some rate division difference with
the North w estern, but the traffic depart
nent had that in charge. He did not
understand that the interstate commerce
act had been infringed.

LOCAL POLITICS
SEPARATE COMMISSIONS

Local: Retail Associations: Interested In
! Politics I'm Order to Secure, Change ~
The Retail Meat Dealers association has
decided to join hands with the Retail
Grocers association Of Minneapolis in
supporting candidates for the legislature.
Both associations are interested in the
establishment of two separate commits
sions in place of the state dairy and food
commission. They believe that there
should be state dairy and a state food
commission with separate heads. They
believe this would make the enforcement
of the present pure laws more effective,
the idea being that the single commission
now has more work than it can attend to-
credit laws improved so as to meet exist
ing conditions. Together the associations
claim to represent more than $4,000 votes.

Because South Dakota-Twl City Service
SIS Improved. p. Sf*
Passenger traffic between South Dakota
and the twin cities has increased rapidly
of late, and there has been a correspond
ing elimination in the traffic between
the same state and Chicago. This is partly
due to the fact that the railways con-
cerned have infpI owed their passenger
service. The North Western and the Great
Northern companies have each added two
trains and the Milwaukee has increased
it's facilities. Better connections with Du-
luth have. also stimulated southwestern
