FAILS TO REGAIN HIS
OLD POLITICAL JOB
Former Janitor Of Court House Appeals
in Vain to Joint Commission.

Edward Jackson, recently deposed as
janitor at the court house and city hall
went before the joint commission yes
terday afternoon and attempted to con-
vince the commissioners that he should
have his old position back.
He was armed with credentials from
the Afro American Democratic organi-
zation of the Fourth ward, and also
with petition which contained a long
list OF names, but, regardless of his
numerous recommendation and his
claims that he controlled the colored
vote of the Fourth, the joint commits
sion turned deaf ear to his appeal.
and he left the court house a disap-
pointed man.
The commission yesterday opened
bids for vault furniture in the health
department and the city clerks office.
ON contracts were let, but the Art
Metal and Construction company. of
Jamestown, N. Y, was the lowest bid
der on the work. and will probably be
awarded the contract.

Heights are the names that predom-
mate in the list. The names of every
individual who ever figured in the his
tory of the city or state have been sub
mitted.
The association will make the Sc

MANY WAREHOUSES; TO
GO UP ON WEST SIDE
VIII Be the Scene Of Active Building
Operations Next Spring.

Though the transfers have not been
filed, number of important realty pur-
chases have been made on the West side
the past two weeks. They are all within
Western railroad, and 1t is said the
ground secured will be used for ware
house purposes.
Through grants received from the coun-
Gil, the Great Western road has made q
section approximately twenty -four blocks
IN extent particularly available for ware
mouse purposes, and the agents are now
busy negotiating with prospective build
The Rock Island road has also been
busy and now controls tracts of ground
on which it can provide cheap trackage
for any character of industry that wants
to locate within its territory.
The city building department figures
that the spring will bring out large
number of plans and contracts for struc-
lures to be erected on the West side. 1t
has been informed of six firms that will
begin building as soon as the weather
permits.
The story of another theater for ST.
Paul has been revived, and now it is said
the southeast corner Of Fifth and Cedar
streets will be the location.
The tract of ground, which consists of
TWO lots, has heavy frontage on Fifth
street and considerable Depth and is
owned by English parties. An attempt
was made to sell 1t to the city when
location for the new county Jail was un-
DER consideration.
M. j. O'Neil is said to be in possession
of plans for new theater but he de-
MES any connection with the latest ru-
NOR. Mr.. O'Neil had such a structure
planned for the lots he owns at Fifth ana
CEDAR streets, which he is now covering
with a four-story hotel, but 1t was
dropped.
Local theater managers admit that
Eastern parties are trying to get into
the Twin Cities. but they do not think
that anything will come of the venture
this season.

electricians put them together under
the supervision of Prof. Schmidt. They
next put in q telephone, connecting
Prof. Schmidt's room with DR.. Robin

In order to allow the establishment
be located in the Midway district,
Wheeler avenue will have to be va
Gated. G. E. Dickerman, the owner Of
the four blocks at Fairview and Uni
versity avenue, on which the park is to
be located, says the ground was never
plated and the streets as a result were
never legally opened. The engineering
department says Wheeler avenue was
opened, but the others were not.

SOLDIERS MONUMENT
AT THE gu" is ASSURED
Students Have Raised $4,1oo of the
$1,000 Necessary to Provide Statue.

AS a result of the proceeds received
from the Minnesota teams share of the
receipts of The football game with
Wisconsin, only $500 remains to be
raised for the soldiers monument at
the university. Prof. Haynes has on
hand about $500 in cash and $500 IN
pledges of the necessary $4,000, SO it
looks as though the statue would soon
be an assured thing. 1t is probable
that the freshman and sophomore
classes, which were not in college when
the students were given their oppor-
tunity to subscribe, will be given q
chance now to complete the amount.
The freshman class held an adjourned
meeting yesterday to elect the remain
