Bell & Bros, travelling Veterinary Den

Fe, Mexico was in the police court yes
terday on a charge of practicing veter-
mary dentistry without license from
! the state board. The state failed to show
that Bell had ever received money for
work done in filing horses teeth, and
Judge Finehout refused to hold him.
Bell was arrested last week on a COM

porter on Pullman sleeper, who claimed
that the Bell Bros. had got 500 out of
him on a promise to teach him the pro-

of veterinary surgeons tried to have the
defendant punished for practiclng with
out license.
The most damaging evidence produced
at the hearing yesterday was a receipted
bill for $12 for cleaning horses and filing
their teeth for the Anheuser-B Busch Brew
ing company's branch establishment In
ST. Paul, but Bell swore that the bill had
been made out by one of his brothers.

whom the police have not been able to

Shades of Ward McAllister! Re
vered memory of Thomas Jefferson!
What are we coming to-"
1t was a stanch old-line Republican
who spoke.
In his hand he held newspaper an
nouncing that only the high and Nigh
ty, exalted, inspired, exclusively red
White-and- blue blooded, stocking
ed, divine and anointed aristocratS
comprising the Roosevelt club were to
enjoy the privilege Of basking within
the halo which tops the presidential
Uranium.
It'll tell you one thing" continued
the old campaigner-an ardent admirer
of President Roosevelt, by the way
I'll bet my G. A. r. badge against a
milk ticket that Teddy doesn't know
what that crowd Is UP to. Talk about
your great democratic system of Amer
lean citiZenship-our Wanted free-for-
all monarchy where we're all kings and
our chief executive is merely No.. !
among us-why say, if things were run
on the plan of the Roosevelt Club of
st. Paul we would have another rebel
lion inside of thirty days.
"And I'd be there with my old. blue
blouse, you can bet on that. And from
| what Teddy has said lately-Teddy
means everything he says, too-the
chances are that determined young
man in kahald would be lifting his
right gauntlet to yours truly-and be
proud of his shoulder straps at that.
Only 200 of the Elect.
"And then for them to debase the
name of such a man by coming boldly
forward and declaring that none but
200 guests, including the presidential
party of thirty five, shall break bread
with the president in ST. Paul, and
that each of the chosen few shall be
members Of the Roosevelt Club of ST.
Paul. The name sounds very fine. But
Teddy is a discerning man, and-mark
my words-they will lower themselves
in his estimation when he discovers
local politicians in a local political
game. / ask you: Who, with the price,
has ever been blacklisted from the
Roosevelt club?' And the fee is small
at that.
what logic and what wiseness can
there be represented in the fiat Of the
proud Roosevelt club that children
shall be excluded from the Auditorium
when the man, who as man, regard
less of politics, Of which they know
nothing, is their idol, steps forward to
address the people of st. Paul?"
Here is what the Roosevelt club
gave to the world yesterday:
This the Programme.
The executive committee Of the
Roosevelt club met at noon yesterday.
It admitted several new members and
decided that the club invitations to the
banquet to the president would be
handed over to the local committee
next Monday at IL o'clock. After then
it will be too late for anyone to obtain
an invitation.
1t is expected that the number Of
guests will be zoo, including the presi-
dents party OF thirty-6ve.
The club will have badges made OF
khaki cloth with an inscription COM
memorative Of the occasion. These will
be sold only to members Of the club
for IS cents each.
It has been decided by the commit
tee which has the president in charge
while in the city that children will not
be admitted to the Auditorium, al
though admission to all others will be
free. Seats are reserved only for the
Roosevelt club and members of the
American Civic league.

NEW BIDS ON STRIKER
SEWER OFFERED TO BOARD
Contractors Reduce Their Figures Only
SIiuhtIv

Slightly.
A second batch Of bids for the con-
struction of a sewer on Dearborn street
and Stryker avenue were opened by the
board of public works yesterday.
Some weeks ago, when the first bids
were opened, the lowest bidder, w. J.
Preston, was $1,000 above the estimate
of the city engineer for the work. The
figures at that time were: Christ
Johnson, $16,600; Patrick Doherty, $13,-
979; w. ]. Preston, $13,825. The
board decided the bids were too high
and ordered a Reimbursement.
Yesterday the bids were trifle low
er with the exception of Preston, who
again put in the same figures. Patrick
Doherty's bid was $13,S25, or $739 lower
than his first bid. Johnson dropped
out, but p. ]. Ryan offered to do the
work for $15,S00.
The board took the bids under con-
sideration, and while the question of
the price being too high has not been
settled, it is probable the contract will
be awarded to Preston.
Assistant City Engineer Sharkey ex-
planned that there was risk in the
construction Of the sewer which the
engineering department could not take
into consideration in figuring on the
estimate.
"The sewer Is to be constructed on
the bed Of an old creek" said Mr.. Shar-
key, and there is a chance for rain
storm to wash out $4,000 worth of work
just after the contractor has put 1t
in. Considering this, 1t Is possible that
the lowest bid is about right"
The sewer is part of the main sys-
tenn on the West side and the cost is
to be paid for partly out Of the gen.
eral fund. The sum of $4,000 has been
appropriated in the budget, and 1t is
expected an additional $4,000 will be
appropriated from the same fund. The
remaining $4,000 will have to be as
sessed against the property owners
benefited.
