I If the recommendations of President
Warner, of the fire board, made at the
meeting of the board last night, are
carried out the members of st. PaufS
fire department will hereafter be
awarded medals for acts of extraordi-
nary bravery.
1t was suggested by President War
ner that the board adopt some suitable
medal to be awarded any member Of
the department for the performance Of
any unusual act of bravery, either
while on duty or off. The suggestions
made by President Warner were dis
cussed at some length by the members
of the board, and the matter was final
~ retired to special committee, with
instructions to report at the next meet
ing of the board.
President Warner, in making the rec
ommendation said it was the custom
in many large cities OF the East to re-
ward acts of bravery by awarding med
ais, and he thought the plan was one
which should be adopted in ST. Paul.
only a few days ago." said Presi-
dent Warner "a member of the depart
ment risked his life to save the lives
of a woman and her child who were in
runaway, and there have been nu-
merouS other instances where our fire
men have performed especially heroic
acts of bravery. There should be some
way of recognizing such service, and it
should be done in some manner so that
the general public will be made aware
of it,
1--WE certainly should recognize such
acts by some means" said Commits
sioner Brace. 81 believe we should keep
record of such acts and the men
whose names are on this roll of honor
should be considered when there is
chance for promotion"
IF we hold too many inducements
it might result in the firemen risking
their lives where they would not do so
otherwise, and many of them might be
hurt in doing So" said Commissioner
Freeman. 81 once knew of fireman
who saved woman's life by stopping
runaway, and although he was almost
killed in doing SO, all he got out of it
was suit of clothes" sso;D-
well, if we could give them medals,
something they could wear, the public
would know who had performed brave
acts" insisted President Warner. s"I
do not think we should stop to consfdl,
er the expense in matter of this
kind"
But Commissioner Schweizer took
the opposite view. He said
Instead of buying medals to. be
awarded for acts of bravery, we had
better look out for the oats for our
horses and the: coal for our fire en-.
gines. These are some of the things
we are compelled to buy, and we have
none too much money with which to,
buy either. I think a medal for brav-4
cry would be all right. but when we,
commence giving out medals we should
give out good ones, and at the present
time we cannot afford to spend the
money for them"
After some discussion the matter Of
providing the medals for acts of Draw.

will report at the next meeting of the

TO VALUE LAND WANTED
FOR STATE CAPITOL
Court Names Messrs. Richardson, Read
and Watson as Appraisers.

Because Of the alleged illegality Of
the vacation of two streets upon which
portions of the new state capitol have
been built, the state will be asked to
award extra damages to the owners of
ADJOINING property about to be ap-
praised by commission appointed by
Judge Brill, of the Ramsey county dis
trict court
On the lower end of the capitol site
are seven improved lots. the purchase
price of which is in dispute and for
the purchase of which the legislature
appropriated 100000. Judge Brill has
appointed John c. Richardson, William
c. Read and John j. Watson, of st.
Paul, board to appraise the property.
The board will meet at the court house
Sept. Is. to commence the reception of
evidence
Those interested in the condemned

With the announcement of the APP
pointment of the board comes the an
nouncement that a fight will be made
for special damages on the ground Of
an Illegal vacation of Aurora avenue
anu Chute street, on which portions of
the new capitol are built.
Those portions of Aurora avenue
and Chute street within the capitol
grounds were vacated in the autumn
of 1895. Now it is claimed that there
was an irregularity in the advertise
ment for vacation, rendering the vaca-
ton Illegal, and that he will ask for
special damages accruing to his prop
erty from the illegal obstruction of
these streets for a 1period of seven
years. =-le-e.4 ai4s e.,
The states legal authorities, while
not prepared to admit that the vaca
ton was Irregular or illegal, say that
1t should be so proved that the capt.
toll title could in no way be impaired,
as the streets vacation could be again
and properly consummated.

SHE WOULD BE FREE
Mrs. Mary E. Moore Wants Di-
ovorceFfom Augustus G.

After almost thirty years of mar
r1ed life, Mary E. Moore wants a di-
vorce from Augustus G.. Moore because
he. told her that a doghouse was good
enough for her to live in.
The Moores were married in Mime
apolis twenty years ago, and
since that time have lived on a farm
in Rosetown: According to the COM
plant filed in the district court yes
terday by Mrs. Moore, she and her hus-
band have never lived together hap
PLY since their marriage, and for more
than fifteen years they have not lived
as husband and wife, though they have
occupied the same house.
Mrs. Moore says her husband re-
fused to buy her clothes and that she
was compelled to work and earn
enough money to purchase what she
needed for herself.
1T was almost impossible for us to
keep hired girls on account of the con-
duct of my husband towards Them
says Mrs. Moore, and he has repeated
ly told me that he would like to get
rid of me and get younger woman
for his wife,
Mrs. Mooreis fifty years old and her
husband is ffty-seven. She asks the
court for lega separation and such
relief as the court may see fit to grant

HAVE FEED OF CLANS
New EngIanders Enjoy an Old

Real Massachusetts CLANS, baked
under fragrant heaps of seaweed which
accompanied them from the "Old Bay
state, were the piece de resistance at
a New Englanders' feast last evening
at Frank Shanley's Bald Eagle home,

The New Englanders clam bake ar
ranged by George w. Currier, of Bald
Eagle, was conducted with all the
ceremonious cares, without any one Of
which no Massachusetts clam bake
would be a success.
At o'clock yesterday morning
rousing fire was started over the pit

mid afternoon the fire was drawn from
the hot stones, over which were spread
a barrel of CLAIMS direct from Massa-
chusetts. with corn and sweet potatoes
Then the seaweed, also especially
brought from Massachusetts for the
purpose, was strewn over the oven and
the fifty New Englanders sang the
songs of their native YaRkeedom I'M

BOARD MUST MOVE
Plenty of Room for School Di-
rectors i'm City Hall.

The cry of no more room in the big
city hall and court house will be with
out justification when the improve
ments now being made on the top floor
of the big building are completed.
Part Of the floor which was first used
as city library and later as a tenn
porary jail. has been converted into six
good-sized rooms and they are not
equaled in the entire building for light
and good ventilation.
Painters and carpenters have been
at work on the rooms for the past
month, and when completed they will
be offered to the board of school in
spectors for their use. Others in the
building who are protesting because of
cramped quarters will also be accom-
modated.
The school board, which is now pay
ing $50 month for rooms in the New
York life building, is understood to be
adverse to moving, but members of the
assembly say that they will refuse to
audit the rent bills after this month.
They make the point that the saving
effected by the transfer would be suffi-
cfent to pay the yearly salary of one
good teacher.

There are fully 1000 persons in st.
Paul who pay Uncle Sam for the priv
1lege of retailing Intoxicating liquors.
OF the number only a trif1e over 300
contribute to the treasury of the city
for the same privilege.
This is what Assemblyman H G.
Schurmeier declares, and he promises
completed the investigation he is now
engaged in. He is making it in his
crusade against blind pigs.
This is list that contains over 500
Names said Mr.. Schurmeier last
night. displaying several pages of
manuscript, which he declared was an
exact copy of the retail liquor license
book in the Office of Collector of In
ternal Revenue Bombach.

Clubs Sell Liquor.
One method of evading the liquor
laws in the Midway district is through
the medium of clubs. and Mr.. Schur-
meier pointed out on his list two cor
poidlionS WHICH settled Win Uncle
Sam lately. One gives the name of the
Midway club, 1885 University avenue.
and the other the Prior club, 1856 Uni
versity avenue. Neither of them has
city license.
The fact that only about 800 of the
1000 names upon the collectors books
secure city licenses does not mean
that all are selling illegally, but Mr..
Schurmeier makes the broad state
ment that the majority of them are
violating the law. The entire number
includes houses of ill-fame, druggists,
wholesale liquor houses and many who,
rather than haggle with the restric-
tions that Uncle Sam puts upon the
liquor traffic, prefer to pay the $25
demanded where liquor is sold in less
quantities than five gallons.
Assemblyman Schumacher promises
to have his list ready in time for the
next assembly meeting. He is also
trying to compel the brewers to pay
$1,000 city retail license.

Hilmi Pasha's administration was
greatly disappointing to the christians,
who expected that he would make an
Improvement in the situation. HiImi
Pasha, however, is following the lines
or his predecessors and the greatest ex-
sceSses that have ever been committed
have happened since his arrival
Throughout the vilayet of Monastir the
Turkish soldiers are daily perpetrating
almost ,ineonceiyable atrocities. They
dishonor the young girls in the pres
eflce Of their parents and pillage and

The informant says the Christian in
habitants are panic-Stricken, hourly
fearing a general massacre. The Mus
ysulmans' fanatical hatred of the Chris

The shops are closed in Monastir: bust
ness is suspended and the streets are
deserted. Even the consuls do not dare
to venture outside their homes. The
country people are afraid to come to
the city lest they should be robbed and
murdered on the way. Europeans de-

prevented by the authorities on vari-
GUS excuses. The British consul want

SELL TOLUMBERMEN
Warden Andrews Would Let
Them Buy Pine Lands Direct.

81 submit that it would be very
much better for all concerned If the
remaining public pine lands in Mime
sofa could be sold direct to the manu-
facturer, according to measurement,
at proper value, and in such quantities
as he DESIRES" said Gen. c. c.. An
drews, fire warden of Minnesota, yes
terday, discussing the disposal of gov
eminent pine lands.
IF the United States had managed
its pine timber lands on forestry prin-
ciples it would have had the timber
sold at fair valuation, to the highest
bidder, just as the state Of Minnesota
is today selling the pine timber on
its school lands. If the government
had pursued that course the manu-
turers of lumber would have had fair
chance to purchase timber in legiti-
mate way, and the lumber would have
been furnished to the public at cheap
er rates than now prevail" 49,
After discussing the several methods
adopted in the forty years since the
abolition of the public sale to highest
bidder. which proved a farce because
lands unsold within the few DAYS auc-
ton period were later offered at $1.a5
per acre, Gen. Andrews said Of the
stone and timber act, under which
valuable pine lands are now so easily
acquired:
Another way is under the stone and
timber act, by which any citizen can
purchase $50 acres and no more, OF
pine Or any other timber land of the
United States at $3.50 per acre. Some
Of the best tracts of pine land in
Northern Minnesota contain from
100000 to 100000 feet, board meas
ure, of standing pine on 100 acres,
and of the value, at 81 thousand, the
present average price, Of from $4,000
to $4,000. What the United States
receives for such tract under the
stone and timber act at $3.50 an acre
Is only $500! The purchaser under the
stone and timber act has to make oath
that he does not purchase the land for
speculation. Remember that he can
only purchase 160 acres What does
he want 1t for unless for speculation !?
He would not buy mill and undertake
to manufacture it himself. On an ay-
erage the purchasers of pine timber
land under the stone and timber act
clear each $1,000 or5oyer. which profit
Is thus taken out Of the timber before
1t comes into the hands of the manu-
faeturer. This profit must come out Of
the consumer"

afternoon was very satisfactory. After
little work in running down on punts and
Sprinting the first and second teams lined
up for game, while the third team went

Considerable Inconvenience is being.

school at st. Anthony Park have complet-

ably be nearly 1000. The freshmen
classes in all departments are larger than

ACCUSED OF ELOPING
WITH ANOTHER'S WIFE
Michael christopherson Arrested on
Complaint of p. j. Smith.

Michael Christopherson was in the
police court to answer to the complaint
of p. J. Smith, of GAINESVILLE, Mimi,
who alleges that Christopherson eloped
with his wife, Alice, last July, since
which time they have been living to-
gether as man and wife in this city.
Some time ago Smith had the de-
PENDANT arrested and taken to Barnes
vile on the same charge, but the court
there held that it could not punish
him as the offense was not committed
in that place. When Christopherson
returned to ST. Paul, however, Smith
again swore out warrant for him on
the same charge.
The hearing was adjourned by con-
sent of both sides until Sept II.
