William Burfening Makes Claim to

William Burfening at this late day
lays claim to the three islands in the
Mississippi river near the mouth OF
Bassett's creek and has demanded a
nearing at the United States land Of
lice at st. Cloud as to the merits OF
his claim, which descends from the
well known Gerard scrip. Notice Of his
intentions to make a. contest have
been served on Mayor j. C. Haynes,
Governor Van SAINT, the Omaha rail
way and the Shevlin- Carpenter Lum-
Der company.
Mr.. Burfening bases his claim on
the allegation that the islands were in
existence prior to the government sur
Veys OF the west bank of the river. The
country thereabout was surveyed in
1852 and it will be necessary to 20
back to the earliest records for evil

Carpenter Lumber company and it's
predecessors, and are piled high with

Many of the bidders were representa-

and women were several well-known
collectors of oriental rugs. An inter-
esting feature of the sale both days
has been the numbers Of men and
women who have staid after the sales
to- select rugs to bid on for the day
following.

to get valuable rugs at the lowest
prices that Minneapolis has ever seen.

TREATMENT TAKES SAND
A Scheme to Make Old Federal
Building Walls Look Like
New, -. :. +

The sand cure is going. to be adj
ministered to the remodeled federal
building and the old walls will look as
bright as do the new ones which have
been built this summer. !.
This will be the first time that a.
sand stream has been leveled against
any building Of Minneapolis for the
purpose of cleaning its walls, but the
process has been. used in several cities
of thepeast and has. been uniformly
successful. X
Several experiments have been made
by H. N. Leighton, senior member of
the firm which has the contract for re-
modelling the building, looking to such
a renewing of the youth of the old
time-stained walls Of the building as
would make them harmonic with the
light gray Of the new stone which tops
them. Without such change the
building would be the sorriest sort of
patchwork. ~
OXalic acid was tried, but the stone
was SO porous that the acid ate into
the stone without producing much Of
an effect on the color. A cement wash
was tried on the south side of the
tower, but this did not prove salts

Eben E.. Leighton, who recently
made tour Of the east, has seen the

.WOOLEY TALKS BACK
Says Critics of His Tax Collection
Contract With County Are
Wrong.
Is Willing to Stand on His Record

It out" said Judge J.. j. Wooley at
the Hotel Hysers this afternoon.
Judge WooIey's remarks were made
in reply to certain criticisms passed
upon the board Of county commission
ers for making a contract with him
by which he gets S25 per cent of all
taxes he collects on property hitherto
unlisted
The system has been tried in sew
eral states and found most satisfac-
tory, he said. There can be abso-
lutely no question as to the legality
of my contract. The county runs no
risk. All I ask is that when 1 have
collected for the county dollar in
taxes which never could have been got
without me am to have rs cents of it.
Some DIRECTORS say that the sys-
tenn will raise the rate of interest be-.
cause 1T will drive out foreign capital
which does not now pay taxes and
does not" want to. This capital will
not be driven out but even if it was
the system would still be right.
The law says that all property own
ers shall pay taxes. If, the law is
faulty and people don't pay taxes it
is time they We're compelled to.
so far, the criticisms I'have noted
have been aimed at the board for
making the contract with me. That is
all right. Anyone has right to criti-
else the board, but if anything is said
about my character or my manner of
doing the work I am to do, those who
say 1t Will have to prove it.

PLUMBERS LICENSE LAW
Test Case From st. Paul Argued
Before the Supreme
Court.

Arguments on the constitutionality
of the plumbers license law we're
heard to-day by the supreme court.
The case comes up on a habeas corpus
action brought in behalf of Paul
Chapel against Sheriff Justus of Ram
sey county. Chapel was fined in ST.
Paul for working at the plum bers,
trade without a license, and Judge
Kelly denied the writ. EzSsss
Thomas McDermott, attorney for
the petitioner, argued that the law
was Unconstitutional because it i'm
posed a wrong classification. It ap-
plies only to cities over 10000 that
have sewer systems, and neither re-
striction has authority in the consti-
tuition: 1t also provides $50 fine for
journeymen plumbers who violate the
act, While master plumbers can only
be held on a misdemeanor, and may
get off with 81 fine. .-.4 i $$f',.
OH. O'Neil, assistant county at
torney, held that the law was a police
regulation for the protection of the
public health. 1t was only necessary
that it apply uniformly to workme1l
similarly. situated In cities less than
10000 there were few plumbers and
plumbing was a question of convent
ence rather than health. ,..E i %,

And then the bride retired to change
her white wolfe over silk with Irish
lace and chiffon for a travelling gown
of blue cloth, while the BRIDEGROOM
doffed' his conventional black for a
plain sack suit. Down stairs the ex-
pectant seventy-fve waited in breath
less anticipation, hardly able to stihe
their mirth at the thought of what
they were going to do to the happy
couple. After they had waited a con-
siderable time they found the rooms
upstairs empty and the birds flown.

friend when they appeared a half hour
later on an interurban car, the bride
doing the talking :! &.se:s.. 7}'
They thought we were going to st.

climbed out of the window and
summed down the porch posts at the
