SLOW WORK.

1t soon VIII De OcLODer. IL Is eA-
pected about or before that time the
public schools of the city are to
open. Doubtless the high school
building needs some repairs, the
premises need cleaning up and
house put in order. So far nothing
along that line has been done nor is
likely to be done until the day ar
rives for the opening Of the school.
Then some old negro will be EN-
ployed &c do the work. He will ar
rive at the school Building about 10
o'clock ana NOPE around for a few
minutes when the LADY of the
house who cooks for and steals from
some white family will GENE along
with her tin bucket. Then long
aud interesting conversation will be-
gin between the two parties, lasting
half hour or longer. Then the lady
0 the house will poke along, the ne
gro man will sweep q place about
five feet square in the building and
taen 90 home to dinner. He will re-
turn in the evening about 2 o'clock
and if another lady Of the house does
not Happen to csme along he Will
probably sweep ten feet square. This
will continue for Il day or two when
he will declare the job completed and
then put in his bill to the tune of
five dollars or about twenty-five
cents a square yard for sweeping the
floor. The account will be allowed
and when school opens the girls will
sweep the floor as it should have
been swept and viii not even receive
thanky. That will be the beginning
of the session of the high school.
In the course of human events the
mayor and board of aldermen will
let the bid for building the East End
school. Attempts have been made
to let the building once or twice, but
so far everything has failed and not
a lick of work has been done. The
board proposes to make another eff
fort and has gone so far as to order
bids advertised for. An acceptable
bid may come in WITHIN thirty days
and yet it may not. Provided it does
the contractor will mot have two
months in WHICH TO complete the
building. This no contractor can DO
considering the fact that it is so diff
ficult to get material, and if the con-
tractor is required to give guaran-
tee that the building is to be COM
pIeted and ready for occupancy by
that time or by the time school is to
begin such a contractor is going to be
hard to find. Hence the East Enc
school building may be completed
some time between now and the first
of next January and parents on that
side of the city will have to send
their children to the high school.
These are stubborn facts and there
is no way to get around them. The
board made mistake when it failed
to let out the erection Of the school
building a month or two ago. 1t
should have done that while it was
wrangling over the location, which
required weeks to settle. 1t took up
too much time in preliminaries, and
when these were settled was SO ex-
hausted that it could not take up the
main work and push it through.
Thus the outlook appears that the
people oil East End are not to have
the benefit Of a school over there this
year and they will have to abide their
time and continue to pay their taxes
until the board sees fit to have them
q building erected.

TWILL HELP ALL BUSINESS
slks, Carnival a Good Thing for the

Elks' Carnival n Good Thing for the
City.
Representative business men continue to eX-
press their unqualified Endorsement of the
Elks' June fair. Says F. B. ySemple, Of the
large wholesale hardware firm Of Janney,
Semple & Co.: -.--.-.
You cannot quote me too strongly in favor
of the big amusement enterprise which the
Elks have set foot. l take it that the
approaching fair is to be attraction in
which every loyal Minneapolitan should have
warm personal interest. The Elks orig
mated the idea, to be sure, but the moment
they contracted to appropriate six or eight
several blocks it became a municipal concern.
In other words, the spectacular features en-
gagged for the fair or carnival and the greatly
reduced rates which will obtain at that time
on the different roads running into Minneapo-
lis insure an immense attendance here for the
first two weeks Of next month, which, fear
too few of our people appreciate. We should
have from $4,000 to $4,000 visitors within oul
gates, all told, during the fair and presume
the total attendance, including city folks, will
be twice that figure.
Such being the case, it is surely to the in
terest of every energetic, hustling merchan
| and business man of Minneapolis to give thu
project his most enthusiastic support ant
most cordial cooperation. Even as a cold
hard business proposition, it is something tt
| be encouraged.
| That the Elks themselves are preparing TO
the largest crowd that ever stormed the gate
| to show Of like proportions is evidenced b:
the action of the committee on tickets in or
dering, in duplicate, 100000 tickets of admis
| sion. 49, .

RIVER POWER RESTORED
Conditions Expected to Last Till
New Street Railway Power
Equipment Is Ready.

Recent heavy rainfalls have raised the
water Of the Mississippi from an unusual
ly low stage which has prevailed all
spring to even more than it's normal
level. This has given the Twin City
Rapid Transit company full head of wa
ter for its Dowerhouse below the falls,
and no difficulty is now being experienced
in generating all the power needed for the
operation of the cars of both cities.
Said G. G. Goodrich general manager
of the street railway company:
The heavy rainfall has finally relieved the
situation which caused us so much emtarrass-
ment earlier in the spring, and we look for
no more trouble in running our CARS on
schedule time. If the stage of water in the
river keeps UP, will have no trouble about
getting all the power we want until our new
auxiliary power house., to be built alongside
OF our present water-power plant. is COM
pleted I expect to have the plans for the
new plant ready for the builders, within two
weeks, and from then on the work will be
rushed through rapidly to completion. We
are still using our old steam plants to sup
plement our water power SE;*S 49,.

He TELLS OF ABUSE.
Clarence Fogelstrom Denounces
Training School Authorities.
HE ESCAPED AND WAS CAPTURED
His Diary Shows Careful Entries to
Substantiate the Charges
He Makes.

Clarence Fogelstrom, one of the boys
who escaped from the training school at
Red Wing last night, was arrested in Min
neapolis this morning. He says the treat
ment at the school has been such that he
was unable to endure it and SO he tried to
escape. His story is cOrroborated by his
own physical condition. He is a small
nervous lad II years of age, but not larger
than the average boy of II. s>
Young Fogelstrom was sent to the
school in November, 1892 shortly after his
mothers DEATH He remained there until
June, 1901, when he was released on
parole. He returned to his home in
he found work and won good reputation.
he found work and won good
but few weeks, however, until
he fell sick and was taken to the hospital.
AS he had no money, the matter was re-
ported to the officers of the school at Red
Wing and he was taken back under the
promise that he would be again released
as soon as he was we'll.
Young Fogelstrom in support Of his
charges against the conduct of the school
refers to his private diary in which he
has made entries from time to time. These
entries show that at different times ne
has been punished severely. One case was
when he was placed on what is known as
the exercise line for day, because he
spoke at the table. On several different
occasions he says he has been severely
beaten and has been put back IN his
classes for slight excuse.
The boy says that the members OF two
of the cottages started riot a, few days
| ago because the food was insufficient and
| the treatment received was unbearable.
The riot was quelled' and the boys severe
| ly disciplined. On one occasion he stood
! in the window of one of the dormitories
and saw the disciplinarian beat all the
| boys of one of the cottages because they
would not divulge the means used by one
of their number to escape.
The boy was seen at the station this
morning and begged to have his case
brought before the board OF control. he
claims that he has been unable to get be-
fore the board, although it is the privilege
of the inmates to come before the boarc
when it makes It's regular visits to the in
stitution. - - a.....
We will return to Red Wing tomorrow
afternoon but his case will be taken up BY
persons in Minneapolis who will press the
matter before the board of control ane
ask for an Investigation.
