WHAT TO DO WITH TANsEY
Former -WOrkhOuse Engineer Sub


ject of Much Discussion. .
James Tansey, former night engineer at tho
workhouse, then transferred to the city hos
pital, then sent back to the workhouse, is now
out of job, and the problem of what to do
with him will present itself at next Monday
nights meeting Of the board of corrections
and charities. >':-.. ~ :. =
Tansey was discharged by Superintendent
Mcdonald on May i, on the ground that as
the heating plant was shut down there was no
work for him. Tansey hunted up Com
missioner Russell and the latter gave him a
note to Superintendent Mcdonald telling him
to find work for him, somewhere about the
institution. Mcdonald ignored the request.
Tansey then appealed to Commissioner
Moore and he too requested the superintend-
ont to put Tansey to work. Mcdonald turned
down this request also. 80 -
The board in full meeting will next tackle
the matter. Tansey, while discharged by the
superintendent will continue to draw pay I'M

MAYOR AMEs SURPRISED

Does Not See Why Grand Jury Mixes
in Police Affairs.
Mayor Ames expresses great surprise
that the grand jury should be mixing up
IN police affairs and processes not to be
worried in the least -
Evidence against a police administra-
tlon must necessarily come from doubtful
sources OF from persons seeking revenge
and can therefore have little value. he
says. Then the department has its share
OF knockers" and he has found when
charges of crookedness are made against
men IN the department they come either
from these Knockers" who are seekine
to do some one else on the force, or
from criminals with no standing.
Many times, he says, he has told mem
bers of the force that grating" would
not be tolerated. He himself knows of nc
grating in the department, and it
would do the grand jury no good to call
him in. - IS. -... =. ..... -

Texas Oil Gushers Come In, in Spite

of Earthquakes.
The thousands Of people throughout the
northwest who have bought Texas oil
stocks are concerned in the telegram sent
out from Houston, Texas, to the effect
that, owing to some earthquake disturb
ances In South or Central America, the
flow of oil from the Beaumont gushers had
diminished. The report was sent original
ly to the New York Sun and was repro
duced in Chicago and other papers.
G. w. Ransom, president of the Dia-
mond Crude Oil company, and secretary of
the Texas Petroleum and Refining COM
pany, two of what are known as the .sBrice
companies said to-day that the only sig
nifcance in the report was that it would
probably deter some timid investors from
putting their money into oil stocks. He
said:
Aus a matter of fact have been in COM
munication with Mr.. Brice to-day and he
speaks Of a new gusher coming in last
Monday which was as good as any gusher
in the field. This was on the very day that
the report was sent out from Houston.

schools of indianapolis, Minneapolis only
rival in this work and from the Philadel-
phia school of Industrial arts, a techni-
cal institution, which may not, properly,
be compared with the other schools be-
cause of it's character. Exhibits have

summer port, for grain loaded at Mon
treal has a water route all the way to the
sea. They are trying to arrange lines
OF steamers now which will bring the
grain down from the lake ports wholly by
water So that the shipment from the
Dominion northwest will involve only the
railroad run from the wheat lands to, the
nearest lake port, water run to Mon
treal and transfer there directly in to the
steamship which would land it at its
destination on the other side Of the
ocean" ', - = r.
Mr.. Wood pointed out the advantage for
Boston in the matter Of winter business
from the Canadian northwest. If Eng
land granted the proposed preferential
rates to favor importations Of grain from
the colonies by 5 shillings per ton, this
would tend to boom the Dominion ports.
It was being advocated by consider
able number Of London business men.
Optimistic Railroad Reports.
To the establishment of even the most
optimistic students of the railroads. the
weekly and monthly reports continue to
show increases in both gross and net
earnings. From carefully compiled sta
tisttcs, an estimate shows the gross earn
ngs for the year 1902 should exceed the
gross earnings Of the fiscal year 1902
which ended June 80 and the fiscal years
1901 and 1900. Net earnings should in
the same way show an increase, while
the surplus may, on account Of increases
in wages, be slightly less than the last
half Of the fiscal year 1902, which ends
next June. But if all indications do not
fail, 1t will show greater earnings than
the last half of the fiscal year 1902. Such
a steady advance has never before been
experienced in the oountry's history. With
the great grain crop just beginning to
move and with the immense cotton crop
which has just been harvested 1t must
continue for some months to come.

BLOOD OYER THE FLOOR

Winnipeg, Man, Dec. "a bad man

The hunted man is burglar who about

In gaining an entrance the burglar must

curing to- Mary Lynick possession Of Sec
ton 16 at Cass Lake., which is now
occupied as part Of the town. Under
the law an allottee Is not allowed to sell
land allotted to him, but control Of it is
settled by the general government for
twenty years: In some cases, however, al
lotments may be leased with the consent
of the secretary Of the interior and it
is possible that some such action may be
taken in Lynick allotments. Commits
sioner Jones thinks that this will be the
way out of the dilemma. He sees that
the people who now have their homes on
her land are probably there to stay, and
he believes that a fair renewal price can
be agreed upon which will be satisfactory
to the Lynick family. It is proba ble how
ever, that before Mary Lynick agrees to
any proposal to lease or rent her land
she will consult her husband, who is said
to have grudge against Cass Lake, and
who will be inclined to put the price of
the lease at very high figure. Another
possible settlement of the case is con-
gressional action looking to the purchase
of the entire tract from Mrs. Lynick such
purchase price to be repaid to the United
States by the sale of lots! @.--

Mr.. Hill Says He Doesn't Need the

l. ChicagcYDec. 5.-William E. Curtis in
a Washington special to the Record-Her-
'ald says: : : -
President Roosevelt Is all right, and
his remedy for what are called trusts is
all right" said James J. Hill, president
or the Great Northern Railway company,
assuming that you want to encourage
what IS good and prevent what is bad.
There are different kinds of trusts. Some
or them are formed for good purposes
ana serve the public welfare. The presi-
dent and members of congress and other
Intelligent people ought to be able to
discriminate between honest and dishon-
est corporations. Take Herr Krupp, the
great German ironmaster, who died the
other day, as an example. He was q
very rich and powerful and benevolent
monopol1st and made Germany richer and
more prosperous and his IS, 900 employees
happy. There are other good monopolies,
The larger number Of consolidated cor
porations are honest and we'll managed,
and are for the public welfare. Others,
however, were organized for speculative
purposes and capitalized at enormous fig
ures to sell stock to people who don't
know any better than to buy it, and
such schemes ought to be crushed out
The remedy is simple. Compel them to
make show down before they are al
lowed to put stock on the market Make
them show what they have got and what
it is worth. II a company IL Rhode
Island wants to sell stock in California
1t ought to be required to give people
out there an honest statements Of it's
business. as national banks and insurance
companies are compelled to do.
Il am not opposed to the shipping sub
sidy bill" continued Mr.. Hill, land I
do not object to is passage by congress
If the financial aid Of the government is
necessary to the support Of other steam
ship lies, but If I had supposed that our
steamers to Japan and China could not
run without it, I would feel that we had
made mistake by going into the bust
ness. We have established our connec-
lions and are building ships without
counting upon it. One of our new ships
is ready to float. The upper works are
on and are painted, and she will be
launched at New London very soon. The
other one is almost ready for launching.
and both of them will be in shape to go
into service before the early spring. They
are the biggest ships eyer built in the
world, and will carry more cargo than any
other thing that floats. and, as I said,
we would not have built them il we
were dependent upon the passage. of the
subsidy bill. Nevertheless, If congress
votes a subsidy bill. we will not refuse
our share Of it, and will make the best
use we can Of the money

BLOW AT CUBAN TREATY

turn in the Cuban treaty negotiations at
Havana has greatly surprised the officials
here, who had every reason to believe
from Minister squiers report that the

fact. But day it is said that it is to be
thrown into the house of representatives
at Havana, with a nationalist majority
supposed to be hostile to the establishment
OF closer relations with the United States
If this Is so 1t is feared that the treaty is
lost, for if not rejected outright it is al

John G. Holmes, arraigned before Judge
John Goodland at Shawano on the

Holmes year ago shot and attempted
to kill his three stepsons, George, Mar
