The rival telephone companies Of Min
neapolis become cooperative public
service corporations oftener than is
dreamed of by the officials Of either con-
Germ. A bright young man discovered
some time ago that a patron Of one COM
pany could talk to a man on the other
line by having third party in some other
office provided with both systems, press
the mouthpieces of the two partable re-
ceivers together.
Most offices which are served with both
lines have the receivers side by side for
convenience's sake, so that it is no
trouble at all to turn the trick, provided
some one is willing to keep the mouth
pieces in close touch while the converse
ton is on. Both companies are said to
object to this manner Of bringing them to-
gether, but they are powerless to pre-
vent it where any one wants to be
obliging.

STILL THY EXPAND.
Plans Of State Fair ManagersTw
Imposing Buildings Called
For This Year.
Two Miles Of Stone Sidewalk to Be
Laid-$12,0o0 for Evening
Entertainments.

The Importance Of the Minnesota State
Fair is attested by the enthusiasm with
which large plans are being made IN the
depths of rigorous northwestern winter.
At the annual meeting Of the board Of
managers yesterday, plans for three large
buildings were discussed and measures
were taken to promote their speedy con-
struction. At the same time general ar
rangements were formulated for a fair
next September which will eclipse all its
predecessors: Many matters of detail
were also: attended to. -> - ..E -.
= Suggested designs for a live stock am
pitheater propose steel and brick build
ing 200 by 800 feet with an ornate roof
and cupola and a "show ring 120 by 240
feet. This will cost $4,000 or 100000.
A manufacturers, building was recon-
mended by a delegation from the North
western Manufacturers association. The
structure will measure $50 by 240 feet
and will cost $4,000. Both these buildings
must be erected with funds that the legis-
lature will be asked to appropriate.
With its own funds the agricultural So
ciety: has already begun work upon a.
building for swine. The society's funds
will also provide for the new $4,000 farm
machinery building which was authorized
yesterday. - :. ~ -s..f-s- ~ ~ '@~.,E
So -, Stone Sidewalk Ordered. ~ .:
The executive1c committee was instructed
to lay two miles Of stone sidewalk at the
fair grounds, and an expenditure OF $12,-
600 for evening entertainments during the
fair was decided upon. Arrangements
were ratified with the Hereford and the
Shorthorn Breeders associations for nat
ional cattle exhibitions and sales. The
managers voted to accept the offer of the
National Shorthorn Breeders association
which will give $3.50 in prizes tor Mime
sota-bred shorthorns. The, Agricultural
society will add $3.50, making special
prizes of $500 for Minnesota bred animals
When this matter was proposed H. F.
Brown of Minneapolis and N. P. Clarke
Of st. Cloud agreed to refrain from enter
ing the competition with their large herds
of short-horns, that the field might be
left open to other Minnesota breeders
The board decided to close all entries for
horses and cattle fifteen days before the
opening of the fair, and to print complete
catalogues of the animals to be exhibited.
The premium lists will be considered at
the next meeting Of the managers, Feb.11

the police judgship. Mr.. Rich made
the following statement: 81 think
it is illegal and don't propose to rec
ognize it. Further think it is per-
sonal matter. - Mr.. Rich cited that
there had been collected in Hatties-
burg during the last twelve months
s6, ,654. 10 in cash fines as opposed TO
Sc, 034. 90 for Meridian, place about
three times greater in population
than Hattiesburg. From these fig

can Judge for Themselves as 70

or not. When Mr.. Rich and the last
board assumed control the city was
about four or five thousand dollars in

1t was urged that Mr. Rich had not
been as stringent in the collections of
tiger fines and imposed as great fines
as he should have done. The follow

When the people elected mayor it
is believed that they knew what they
were doing and from whom they were

they sanctioned his administration by
again honoring him with the Office.

As reason for not giving tigers
the limit of the law, Mr.. Rich says
that if they were given the limit
they would either be put on the

derived good. revenue therefrom

HIS UNJUST ACTION.

The action of President Roosevelt
in closing the postoffice at Indianola,
Miss, but is another evidence of
his persistence and hardheaded-
ness TO force upon the people of the
south negro officeholders in direct de-
fiance Of their wishes. Mr. Roosevelt
knows rs well as anybody knows that
there are many postoffices and other
federal offices in the south which are
largely patronized and supported
by white people where there is a
strong sentiment against the appoint.
ment of negroes to fill them. Urgent
appeals have been made to him by
these patrons and supporters to make
white instead nergo appointments.
He certainly knows that there are
white men who are equally as we'll
if not better qualified in character,
education and energy to perform the
duties. But he insists upon adopting
this means of punishment for move
ment in the south out of which de-
veloped the lily whites, so distsstful
to him.
Mr.. Roosevelt would remember that
the postoffice department was not in
tended TO be money making or par
tissn politics institution, but that it
was established as public conven-
fence. The appointment of white
postmaster. at Indianola would greatly
facilitate busindess, would remove the
unpleasantness existing in the COM
munlty, and would meet with the
approval of those doing business with p
that Office. He has stated upon more
than one occasion that he would make
appointments only with reference to
their character for fitness for perform
ing the dutiess involved Certainly
an appointment which is so distaste-
ful and unsatisfactory to the patrons
and supporters of an office as to create
disturbance and threaten the life of
the appiontee is not maintaining this
position.
Mr.. Roosevelt should remember
that in closing postoffice through
spite or through a desire to revenge
himself upon large number of peo-
pie he is acting in opposition to the
purpose and object of such Office as
public convenience, and is also put
ting to great inconvenience, if not
personal loss, buusiness men in other
parts of the country who may have
correspondents with other persons
who get their mail at that office.
He has no right to do this. 1t is a
high handed, totally unnecessary and
narrow proceeding and deserves
severe censure. The prompt appoint
ment of postmaster who would be
satisfactory to the patrons of the
office would settle the whole matter,
and prevent any further trouble.
But such course would not give the
president chance TO get even with
those who refuse to subscribe to his
personal views on the negro question
as we'll as on the matter of republi-
can presidential nominee. .-Birm-

men, mp and down the streets in car
riages. He said further that be hat
no personal feelings in the matter
but simply wished to do the people,
bidding.
Mr.. Dunn then said that it haG
just dawned on him why such 6
proposition was made to defeat the
will of the people. 1.-The people, .
he said, chad elected Rich by such 6
unmber as would show their conf
dence in his ability to steer municipal
affairs and when we, 1.-THE board turn
Rich down, we disgrace ourselves. I"
He further said that Mr.. Rich had
done as much for Hattiesburg as the
mayor of any city or town in the
United States had done for their
towns in an equal length of time.
Mr.. Fuller's turn came next. He
said he had offered himself as can
didate upon the condition that he
would do his uttermost to rid the
town of tigers The mayor, he
said, told him that he never imposed
the full limit of the law on tigers.
In this he did not think Mr. Rich had
done his best to eliminate this tough
element. This, he said, did not in
volve any personal feelings, but
merely an act of duty.

Cook for the place. The result was
eight ayes and one nay, Mr.. Dunn be-
ing the only one to oppose it.
Mayor Rich stated that his attor-
neys had advised him that be had a
right to refuse to recognize it and
since he consideredd it illegal, he
would do this.
The police judges bond was then
fixed at 81, 900 and a motion was then
made to adopt the motion the mayor
had Just refused to recognize. 1t was
carried.
W. E. Martin, fireman, requested
that So rs street tax be refunded him.
1t was granted.
bids for printing were then received
for the ensuing two years and cap
tured by the Progress.
Mr.. Hicks was then proposed and
elected city engineer.
A balance of $2S still due on the
school house was then voted to Mr..
Mcmillan.
Mr.. Kearney then appeared on be-
half of the city plumbers and for the
protection of the citizens interest to
request that the board levy tax
license of S25 per year on plumbers
doing work in Hattiesburg. He
stated that scab plumbers would
drop in and do little piece of work
that was inferior and there was no
p. election to citizens other than the
regulation of a privilege license. The
city's attorney was directed to draw
an ordinance regarding this matter
and submit it tonight.
Mr.. Sexton was awarded the con-
tract for feeding city prisoners and
allowed turnkey fee on all prisoners
convicted.
Mr.. George was next instructed to
receive the money from Mr.. Jackson
that was now in the city treasury
and receipt him in full allowing the
overdraught of sl24 81 on the street
fund to be paid him from other
sources by Mr.. Moffett.
Mr.. Mofett was elected tax COL
lector and will submit his bond to-
night. He was instructed to appoint
q policeman for each ward to co lect
street tax.
A motion was then made an. n
adjournment taken until tonight al
1880, when it is expected that mat
ters of interest will again transpiFe.
