CITIES IN MINIATURE
Plaster Cast of Twins Planned
for Worlds Fair.

A plaster cast of the two cities in
miniature, with every public building
and industry in relief, with every park
and breathing spot designated, and the
topography Of st. Paul and Minneap-
oils shown as it actually exists, may be
one Of the features Of the proposed
Twin City exhibit at the st. Louis fair,
If built, as planned, 1t will be sixty
feet long, half as wide and will be the
central figure in the building that st.
Paul and Minneapolis propose to erect
in what will be known as the model
city. The cast will be complete In de-
tail as far as civic features are con-
cerned.
The cost is an item that the Twin
City commission will not stand, and in
order to meet it the committees have
planned scheme whereby the various
industries of the two cities will fill the
void.
Each of them will have exact repre-
sentation in the cast and the buildings
shown will be so arranged that minia-
ture electric lights will illuminate the
interiors. The streets shown on the
cast will also be dotted with lights
street car tracks will be, shown with
cars running, and the various railroads
as they enter the cities and the several
depots will be indicated.
For every industry shown 1t is pro-
posed to exact a tax and from this the
cost will be met. There are enough in
dustries in the two cities, it is figured
that will be more than willing to take
advantage of the advertising that
would accrue.
The scheme was considered at a
meeting of the committees of the two
cities held yesterday afternoon at the
city hall, but nothing definite was de-
cided upon.
The committee was informed that the
street railway company was preparing
as one Of the exhibit features, mon
ster map of it's system as it exists in
the two cities. The map will also In
clude the boulevards and the various
park locations.

power to do. Part of the printing he
has had done in Croekston, and the
programmes will be printed in Sleepy
Eye. He has persisted in taking all
the work from st. Paul, yet insists
upon an immense bonus for the meet
ing.
He has been very arbitrary in
everything he did. In regard to the
headquarters, for instance, the major
hotel, because it was larger, but he
insisted and went and hired the Wind
sor.
Il see no reason for his attack upon
me- for l have tried my best to be ami
cable with him, and our committee
here has worked hard to arrange for
the meeting. We have not only carrie
out his first conditions, but have a4So
arranged for 50-cent lodgings for 500
rural teachers, and have done many
other things. Mr.. McIntire has, no
doubt, worked very hard. but he has
been afraid to let anyone else work"
Backed by Carol.
1t is also stated that Mr.. McIntire
was backed in his busting of Secretary
Bryant by E. T. Carol, of Wadena,
treasurer of the association. Carol is
known to have ambitions for the presi-
dency of the association and is
offering the financial condition of the
organization under his regime as his
best campaign material.
Although President Mc1ntire claims
to have done most of the secretary's
work, it is well known, st. Paul teach
ers say, that Mr.. Bryant had sole
charge of getting out last years re-
port, and has also done large amount
of other work. 1t is admitted that the
president has 'butted in" frequently,
and as a result .somesavery unhappy
complications with speakers for the
convention and others have resulted.
It was said yesterday afternoon that
an investigation of McIntire's methods
may be demanded at the next meeting
of the teachers. His action in award
ing printing contracts and other things
which he has done, 1t is stated, will
bear plenty of investigation.
The committee from the Commercial
club In charge of the arrangements for
the convention met yesterday after
noon and decided to issue circulars CIV
ing the features of the meeting. Other
plans for the entertainment of the
teachers were also discussed. The
committee is composed Of Supt. A. j.
Smith, E. S. Durment, State Super1n-
tendent Olsen, Assistant Superlntend-
ent J. D. Bond and J. c. Bryant.

MINNEAPOLIS is SHY
Has Not Raised Its Share for
Twin City Exhibit.

The scheme of Twin City exhibit at
the ST. Louis exposition may Idle a.
born1n'."
st. Paul is ready with it's money, but
Minneapolis is shy the requisite amount
of coin. Its treasury is not so corpu-
lent as that of the Capital City.
One of the schemes planned by the
local commission and the committee
from the Civic league which is arrang-
ing for st. Paul's exhibit at the fair,
was a display in the model city which
the exposition authorities have invited
all the leading cities Of the country to
participate in.
Minneapolis was asked to join and
did so with the result that plans were
drawn for building In which the two
cities We're to be the central figures
The cost was pleced at $4,000, and ST.
Paul, through the conference commit
tee, at once appropriated it's half-$10,-
600, not to speak of $4,000 set aside by
the council some weeks previous for
the arrangements of the ordinary city
display.
Yesterday the local committee met
with the Minneapolis committee, which
included Mayor Haynes and several
other city officials, and were surprised
to learn that Minneapolis is shy it's
half by several thousand dollars, and is
somewhat in a quandary where to get
the needed amount. The Minneapolis
council. the members said, could not
appropriate the money as it did not
have it, and the only thing left was to
appeal to the citizens.
Steps to this end, the committee said,
would be taken at a meeting to be held
in Minneapolis Monday, and the out
come would determine what the Mill
City would do. Mayor Haynes said he
had not the least doubt that the money
would be raised; in fact, much of 1t
was promised, but until Monday he
could give no positive assurances.
Mayor Haynes said Minneapolis was
enthusiastic over the scheme of Twin
City exhibit, and the Commercial club
of his city would lend every aid to
make it a success.
The local committee is going ahead
with Its plans and has solicited the aid
of every department of the city govern
ment in making the ST. Paul exhibit
complete. The exhibit will include a
number of novelties.

If YOU MUST Drink,
STICK TO BOOZE
Poison Turks In Blackberry
Brandy and Port Wine, Ac-
cording to Officials.

The blackberry brandy and some of the
port wine sold in the Twin Cities is devil
ish stuff. Almost every sample which We
have secured so far from the saloons has
proved, upon analysis, to be made up OF
a lot Of poisonous chemicals with no
signs of the fruit" said George L. Ding
man, one of the state pure food inspectors,
yesterday.
During the past two weeks the pure
food commission has been making cru
SADIE in the Twin Cities against liquor
dealers who sell liquor which is impure
or not up to date. Eleven dealers have
been prosecuted SO far and all have paid
their fines without standing trial, as they
are exceedingly anxious to keep their
names from the public. A dozen more
prosecutions will probably be made next
week.
The pure food inspectors began with
general roundup of the drug store men,
but found little or no poor liquor, they
state, for sale in any Of them.
1.-The liquor sold for medicinal purposes
by the druggists was generally found to
be UP to grade" said Mr.. Dingman. But
1t was all different when we started in
at the saloons. The blackberry brandy,
which was once recognized as a house
hold remedy, today, so far as the ma
jority of the saloons is concerned, is
nothing but rank poison.
Prefer to Pay Fines.
1--WE are handicapped some by the ex-
IRENE anxiety of these saloon men to
pay up their fines without trial. We
should like to go into court and show
clearly to the community what the stu
alton is, but as yet we have not had the
opportunity. We do not want to harm
these dealers, but neither can we pro-
tect them for the health of the community
is at stake.
THE whisky sold in the Twin Cities is
also generally of a low grade, but that
cannot be remedied, except in a few
cases, until we get better whisky law.
There must be some standard set for
the whisky instead of as the law now at
tempts to fiXe one. AT present certain
poisons and impurities are named, and
unless these are found the liquor must
be declared all right, although we may
find even more dangerous poisons in it.
1.-The fine for these offenses should also
be made sitter and the dealers would be
more careful about buying pure liquor,
for they would not want or could not af-
ford to pay f1ne-say Of $100-and would
put up a fight The trial would be les
son not only to them, but to other deal
ers which they would not soon forget"
