MORE MONEY SAVED.
Result of County's Advertising for
Office Supplies.
BOOKS SO PER CENT CHEAPER
Bids Opened To-day for Stationery
for County Auditor and Reg
lister of Deeds.

Bids for furnishing assessment blanks
for the auditors Office and eight record
books for the register of deeds, under the
new law requiring the county commission
ers to advertise for bids for such supplies,
were opened by the county board yes
terday. The figures were a great sur
prise and we'll justified the necessity for
publicity in such matters.
The eight blank books were to be made
from Bryan Westin paper and to contain
$40 pages each, ruled, printed and bound
in the best manner. Five were to be ruled
records with no printing, one ruled and
printed with one deed to page and two
ruled and printed with two deeds on each
page. The bids on the whole work were as
follows: MillerDavis Printing company,
$120; Crawford & Co., $103.25; Harrison &
Smith company, S91.S0; Thode Co., $500;
Great Western Printing company, $S5.
That is an average of $1O13 for each book
on the basis of the lowest bid.
The county. under the old system Of CIV
ing out the work. as the commissioners
thought wise, paid $23 for the ruled and
printed books and from SIS to $40 for the
ruled records. Under the old method the
eight books would probably have cost in
the neighborhood Of $169, as compared
with the present bid of SS5.
The other bids were for printing blanks
used by the assessors, as follows: 2,OOC
! assessment blanks, 900 notices of the
amount assessed, 1000 affidavits as tG
mortgages, 500 statements Of credits and
20 notices of assessments. The bids on the
whole work were as follows: Geesaman
& Murphy, s120; Berger & Kohlstedt
$117.50; Harrison & Smith, $9S75. Last
year there were II, 600 less of the assess
ment blanks, but the county paid some
thing like S173.20 under the old method Of
giving out the county printing, as com
pared with $9S.75 they are to pay under
the new law. ..-
Bids for furnishing awnings for tn
courthouse were opened, but as all raj
over 500 it was decided to advertise TO-

TRIAL FOR MURDER
Herbert Gallehugh Now On Trial
for His Life.
THE PRISONER is UNCoNcERNED
lection of Jury
Begun.

Judge Simpson called up the Gallehugh
murder case yesterday Herbert u.
Gallehugh, the prisoner. was in court, but
was hard to recognize as the beard which
he wore on his previous Appearances in
court, had been removed and he was gen
orally spruced up. He was not at all
concerned over being the central figure
in murder trial, and apparently did not
follow the proceedings much more intent
ly than the. spectators. :.sz K.
Gallehugh, who is a railway man, is &C
cused by the grand jury of murder in the
first degree, the crime having taken place
at the San Angelo hotel on March I. His
Victim. Charles Collins. was the colcred
cook at the hotel He was busy with
his kitchen work when Gallehugh entered
the kitchen and shot him. Gallehugh
gave as his reason for is act that Collins
had insulted his wife who was an en-
ploye of the hotel.
Judge Simpson appointed VIM. R. Nor
ris, James Robertson and W. E. Hewitt
to try the qualifications of the Jurors:
Cyrus A.. Smith and Joseph T.. -k1ichll,
the first two men called, escaped jury
duty, but Andrew P. johnson, a cooper,

SENATORIAL ABSENTEEs
Illness and Advancing Years Ac-
count for MucI, of 1t.

Washington Letter in New York Post.
Absenteesm Gin the present senate has
been notable. James K. Jones of Arkan-
sas has been in Washington little during
this session; he has plenty of business at
home trying to secure reelection. Mr..
Daniel of Virginia is another senator who
has been here little, if any, this winter. ,
It is understood that his absence has been
due to illness. Senator Mason spends half
his time in Washington and the other
half in Illinois, looking after his politi-
cal fences. Senator Clapp of Minnesota
has been in Florida during most of the |
important debates. Senator Quay has not
been present much; he left Washington
nearly four months ago for Florida, and
has spent. most of the winter there. He
is rather fond of fishing, and had rather
sit in the sun waiting for bite than
to listen to speeches in the senate. Some
days ago he sent kilograms to the Penn
sylvania delegation in the house asking
them to get together in support of con-
cession to Cuba, and he is now here to
see to the matter himself.
Senator Vest of Missouri is becoming
very feeble, but it is only in body.a~1e
never walks without an attendant to. sup
port him. When he speaks he issobliged
to support himself with both hands
against his desk, and there is always some
cHe near by to offer help if it is needed.
But his mind is as vigorous as ever. and
his speech against the shipping subsidy
bill was one Of the strongest made on
either side During it's delivery, which
lasted more than two hours, Mr.. Vest
had frequent resort to small phial which
he carries always with him. He would
quote something from report and ask
that the original be read by the clerk.
While this was in progress he would sit
down and take his tonic. Then he would
continue his arraignment of the subsidy
scheme.
Another member of the senate who has
become very feeble is Joseph R. Hawley
Of Connecticut. He rarely appears in his
place now. He does not keep up his spirits
like his Missouri neighbor There is no
one to-day keener for joke than Vest,
but Hawley appears to have lost much OF
his old cheerfulness of temper.
j. S. C. Blackburn of Kentucky is once
more a member of the senate; but no one
would know it save for the congressional
directory. There has been no evidence Of
his return. such as might naturally be
expected. The tradition of the old days is
of Blackburn as hghter-as an active.
aggressive participant in everything,
noisy. original and decidedly a force in
the upper house of congress- This time
he has hardly opened his mouth except
to vote He is rarely in his seat, and
does not appear interested in current
Legislation; in fact. there is nothing to
indicate a man Of the character ascribed
tc him when he was at the surface be-
fore.

ADDRESS BY C. M. LORING
Listened To by Members of Adams
School Civic League.

Listened To by Members OF Adams
School Civic League.
C. M. Loring addressed the Civic league
of the Adams school Monday night at the
South high school hall, and was greeted
by an enthusiastic audience of about 1, 100
persons. Most of these were children of
the Adams school, but there We're many
parents and friends to whom invitations
had been extended by members of the
league. Hiram Lofgren of the A ROOM
president Of the Boys Civic league, pre-
sided and introduced the first speaker,
Professor H. D. Painter, who, as founder
Of the league, gave brief history of it's
work. He spoke of it's methods and pur-
pose. primarily to create the correct ideal
of citizenship-to work out the spirit of
the true citizen in the line of municipal
Improvement He then introduced the
principal speaker of the evening.
Mr.. Loring spoke approximately of the
plan and scope OF the work of the league,
and avowed his belief that if he had began
in such a manner thirty-siX years ago
with the children, Minneapolis would have
to day shown much greater results in
beauty and hygenic conditions He told,
in running commentary on the exquisite
colored pictures exhibited of the finish
and elegance of the parks of Paris, Ores
den end London-of the homelike beauty,
luxury and Spotless cleanliness OF HOl-
land, Norway and Sweden, and of the
wonderful work Of improvement carried
on In New York city
He showed wildly the contrast between
the old country road and the modern
boulevard, between streets bare and
shadless and avenues parked and adorned
with elms and NAPLES, between children S
| lives in garbage choked alleys and the
lives Of happy little ones bat hing near
| flower decked shores.
Every lesson for which the Civic league
stands-of beauty, health, culture, inspi-
ration, public service and good citizenship
was gra phically and earnestly emphasized,
as were the far-rea ching possibilities of
individual effort.
At the close of the lecture Miss Elsie
Williams, president of the girls league
handed MIR. Loring a boquet of tulips in
the colors of the school, red and gold

The question of the saloon and the next

BOOSTED The PRICE
Remarkable Appreciation of
Realty in the Second Ward
A PIECE OF LAND MARKED $4,000
versity Starts COndemna- =
ton Proceedings.

Condemnation proceedings were begun
in the district court to-day to obtain bit
of land wanted for the extension of the
University Of Minnesota athletic field.
The proceedings, which are conducted in
the name of the state, are directed against
Joseph Islander, who owns lot 8, block 8,
st. Anthony, or, more particularly, 10
Union street Sc.
The regents have secured one-half Of the
block opposite the present armory and
athletic park, with the exception of Mr.
islanders lot, but, not being able to
reach satisfactory. terms will resort to
condemnation proceedings.
The negotiations with Mr.. Islander have
been sore trial to the persons conduct
ing them on behalf of the university,
though they have not been without anus
ing incidents. According to the records,
the lot sold for $3.50 two years ago. Since
then improvements estimated to be worth
about $500 have been added.
According to well-known man familiar
with the affair from it's inception, Mr..
Islander was at first, willing to sell for
$4,000, but receiving an inkling of what
was going on, he promptly raised his
price to $4,000.
This was deemed fair value and the
terms made by Mr.. Islander were ac-
cepted, but by this time the price was
$4,000.
Naturally this move caused surprise,
but after some delibeartion 1t was de-
cided to pay the new figure. For third
time there was remarkable appreciation
| in second ward realty and the price of the
lot in question became $4,000, with notice
that unless the terms were accepted be-
fore June the price would be $4,000.
But the light went out of the regents
eyes and Islander can now do business
with the university only in the district
court.
When the university obtains possession
of the lot, it is the intention to ask the
council to vacate that portion Of Unior
street extending from University avenue
to the Northern Pacific tracks. 1t is only
a half street and ends abruptly at the
railway embankment. The only one nov
benefited by it is Mr.. Islander and with
him out of the way there will be no fur.

WONG GUYS GRIEVANCE
His Action Against the Cocks Union
Is Heard.

The petition of Wong Guy, proprietor OF
the w. Y. restaurant, 80 Washington
avenue S. for a temporary injunction
against the members of the Minneapolis
Cooks Protective and Benevolent associa-
ton restraining them from interfering
with his business by "picketing' and
other means, was taken up in the federal
court this morning by Judge Lochren.
Affidavits were, submitted by each side and
arguments by counsel followed. Brown
and Kerr represented the union and Har-
Ian P. Roberts appeared for the petit
toner.
Atfidavits by the Cooks union tended to
show that no attempt was made to in
terfere with the business of the complain
ant further than by the distribution of
cards through pickets to show the public
why the union had taken the stand
against cheap labor said to be employed
in the restaurant. In doing this it was
asserted that the members of the union
kept entirely within the law.
The petitioner alleged that intimidation
and force, as we'll as the boycott, had been
employed to ruin his business. One en-
ploye testified that she was promised
other work or pay from the union If she
would leave her employer.
