LABOR SAVING BONDS
Registered Variety VIII Do
Away With Coupon Clipping.

Relief is in store for local owners Of
city bonds.
After this month there will be no
more shipping of coupons with a dull
shears and supplementing the job with
a tedious walk to the city comptrol-
ler's Office to exchange them for coin
Of the realm.
City Comptroller Betz proposes to
exchange all coupon bonds for what
are known as registered bonds, and has
received encouragement to the extent
that the assembly last night lent It's
aid to the scheme. 1t is expected that
the board of aldermen will concur.
In the case of a registered bond
there are no cumbersome coupons to
clip and exchange for the interest This
is kept track of by the comptroller,
and each month a check for the
amount is forwarded by mail. Fire or
theft does not entail any loss, as each
bond Is registered and in case of an
accident is easily duplicated. Bulki-
ness is also done away with by the
registered bond.
The knowledge that registered bonds
would bring much better prices for the
100000 issue that the city is now try
ing to dispose of induced City Comp
troller BetZ to propose the scheme, and
he now wants the registered kind ex-
tended to every bond liability that the
city has out.
The new arrangement will call for a
special set of books and considerable
extra labor, but Mr.. Betz thinks it will
be more profitable and convenient for
all concerned. Bonds to the amount
of about 100000 will be exchanged
when the scheme goes into effect.

ASK FOR RECEIVER
Managers of CommlssionAgen-
cy Want a Settlement.

A receiver for the st. Paul branch
of the Coe Commission company is
asked in a petition filed in the district
court yesterday by Frank E. Hammond
and William E. Hamilton, of ST. Paul.
The petitioners also ask for dissolu
ton of the business.
1t is alleged that George j. Ham
mond, manager of the Minneapolis
branch of the Coe Commission COM
pany, entered into contract with the
petitioners to open a grain commits
sion business in st. Paul, the quota
lions to be furnished by the Minneapo
lis company. George ]. Hammond
was to receive one-half of the profits
and the petitioners one-fourth each.
Since last March, however, the petit
TONERS allege that the business has
been left to the care of clerks, and that
no accounting has been had since that
time. They say George ]. Hammond
has paid no attention to the St. Paul
branch since last March.
The suit in no way involves the Coe
Commission company, except so far as
the st. Paul branch is concerned.

MICAELET ARRESTED
Indian Agent Accused of NoIat-
ing Game Law.

Simon Michelet, formerly resident
of Minneapolis, and now Indian agent
at White Earth reservation, stands
charged by the state game and fish
commission with having killed prairie
chickens on the reservation in August
Hearing recently that a warrant had
been issued for his arrest Michelet
gave himself up to an officer at De-
troft, where he was taken before a JUS
tice of the peace for preliminary hear
ing, Because of the fact the justice
before whom Mr.. Michelet would have
been tried Is closely related to one of
the principal commission merchants Of
Detroit. the officers of the game and
fish commission determined to prose-
cute in the district court. The case will
therefore be delayed.
Mr.. Michelet has clashed with the
officers of the game and fish commits
sion before because of his belief that
the jurisdiction Of the commission and
the effectiveness of the state law does
not extend to the Indian reservation on
which he is located. He was extensiv-
ly quoted at that time as having said
that if Mr.. Fullerton or any of his
game wardens should come onto the
reservation they would be roughly
handled. This. led to a rather stormy
scene between Mr.. Fullerton and Mr..
Michelet when they happened to meet
one day at the capitol.

With brief proceedings, chiefly of
perfunctory character, the state board
of equalization made it's finish yester-
. day, and the members. after collecting
the remuneration due them from the
state. dispersed to resume their GUS
tomary business.
Besides the formal adoption of its
report as whole the board passed
J resolution directing the state auditor
to issue further instructions to county
officers as to the law in making assess
ments.
The resolution sets forth that county
assessors must assess and return all
taxable property within their respect
i've districts without exception and re-
CARELESS Of whether the value of the
property listed is more or less than
500. 1t states that the county audi
tors and not assessors are the proper
Officers to make exemptions as pro-
vided by law. Emphasis is placed
upon the laxity Of assessors throughout
the state In regard to the points men
toned in making the assessment Of the
present year, and this is commented
upon by the board as grave offense.
Van SAINT Compliments Board.
Gov Van SAINT addressed the mem
bers saying that he had been pleased to
see that this board had assumed the
attitude of a state body and an organ
lied branch of the government, instead
of so many individual lobbyists intent
upon securing the reduction of the as
sessment returns in their own respect
i've districts. He complimented the
board upon its fearlessness in raising
assessments where 1t believed they
should be raised, and said that the in
creased valuation would lower the rate
of taxation and thus benefit the state
at large.
The governor said that the task of a
member Of this board was bound to be
a thankless one and his only reward
must be the consciousness of faithful
performance of his duty. That reward,
he believed, every member OF this board
could take unto himself.
Session Costs $1,000.
The total cost of this session Of the
board to the state has been $3.9O4.S0 in
per diem and mileage allowance to the
members. The appropriation for this
purpose was but $500, and the excess
Of S404.90 was supplied from the gov
ernor's contingent fund.
The session of the board began Sept.
I, extended over thirty-one days, in
Guiding Sundays, and therefore each
of the members received $155 as per
diem allowance. Gov. Van SAINT, Attor-

STEALS HIS BABE
CoIored Man Surprises His
White Wife.

John McLendon. colored man. is
somewhere in hiding in st. Paul with
his pretty mulatto babe, whom he car
r1ed off yesterday morning from the
home Of his white wife in Minneapo-
lis.
McLendon, who is a porter on the
Rock Island road, married the mother
of his babe seven years ago, but the
pair have not lived together since the
birth of the child three years ago. The
father made no effort to get possession
of his progeny until yesterday, when he
drove up in a hack to the house in Min
neapolis in which his wife was living,
rushed in, and before the mother real
lied what his purpose was, seized the
child, ran o~the hack and drove away.
The mother ran screaming after him
from the house and was joined in the
chase by several women of the neigh
borhood, but they could not overtake
the hack. which soon distanced the
pursuers. The father came to ST Paul
and has located where he believes his
wife canot find him.
The woman Is said to have great
affection for her dusky little one, and
doubtless will make diIigent search to
locate the man who so suddenly de-
prived her of the child to which he had
so long been Indifferent
AS there has been no divorce the hus-
bands act is no violation of law, and
the woman consequently can have no
aid from officials in her search.

touched this subject, but the univer-
sity authorities Have decided that after
this year the young person seeking
higher education must come with a
fair command of the language of the
land.
Several months ago notice of this
new requiremend was sent to the high
schools of the state, which have an en-
rollment of 2p,0DD, and the change met
uniform approval of teachers.
To aid the high school pupil con-
templating course IN the university
the instructors in the department of
rhetoric have begun the publication
of the High School Monthly Magazine,
in which will be published articles
written by high school pupils of the
state, by which means it is hoped the
high school pupils may become inter-
ested in this line. The articles pub
Hshed each month will come from vari-
Gus portions of the state and show
the best work being done in English
composition in the public schools.
Members of the university faculty will
also contribute
The first number of the monthly has
just been issued. It is a neat pam
phlet of sixty-four pages. and pre-
sents twenty-four contributions from
pupils and university instructors.

DISAGREE ON PLACE
Want Flower Show at Peoples
Church or Mozart Hall.

Members of the Woman's Auxiliary
to the Northwestern Manufacturers
association, under whose auspices the
annual fall flower show is to be given,
Nov. 10. IL and II, cannot agree upon
place for holding the show, Some of
the members favor the Peoples church
and others are holding out for Mozart
hall, which, they argue, is equally suit
able and considerably cheaper.
AS a result of this difference of opin-
ion the flower show committee, which
is composed of all of the members Of
the association, adjourned the meeting
yesterday afternoon without having de-
cided upon a place. AS a means Of
solving the question it was suggested
that all of the members visit both the
Peoples church and Mozart hall some
time before next Monday, when the
committee will meet again for the pur-
pose of deciding upon location for the
show. -. .
Mrs. Neumann, who is actively en-
gagged in making the flower show a
success, favored Mozart hall. She ex-
planned to. the other members that it
could be secured much cheaper and
that it was equally as good, since the
lower floor of the Peoples church was
the only part of the building which
the flower show would be permitted to
use.
Mr. Whellams urged the committee
to hold the show at the church, where,
he thought, the attendance would be
enough larger to warrant the additional
expense. @
The church is held at $500, exclusive
of lighting, while Mozart hall can be
secured at an expense, lighting includ-
ed, Of 500. It was finally decided to
postpone the selection until the next
meeting. ,,atn7
1t was decided to advertise the show
as widely as possible, and to this end a
press committee was appointed, with
Mrs. ]. c. Mccall as chairman. Mrs.
J. c. McConVille was selected as chair
man of the committee on decorations,
with power to name her own commit
tee; Miss Hope was made chairman of
the committee on music, and Mrs. E.
A Paradis chairman of the programme
committee. Mrs. Condo Hamlin is
chairman of the judging committee.
Green and white, the flower show
colors last year, will be used again, and
the badges will be of these colors. 1t
was also decided to have French day
at the show, in addition to the Colonial,

Additional detail of the recent seiz-
ure of ducks near the Iowa state line
has been received at the Office of the
state game and fish commission from
Capt. William Bird, who is a member
of the commission, and who participant
ed in the raid.
1t is now learned that the number
of birds, instead of being 1000, as
was at first reported, is more than
$500, and perhaps as high as 5000.
S. +. Fullerton, executive agent of the
commission, says the officers have pos
tive proof that the game was shipped
by William Kerr, of Lakefield, and that
this is not the first time game shipped
by Kerr has been seized.
Mr.. Fullerton says that he is con-
WINGED that Kerr has been for long
time past doing an extensive and
profitable business in the shipment of
game from this state to Chicago, and
that one of the large and well known
Chicago commission firms has been
handling conSignments not only from
Kerr, but from a number Of other ship
pers in this state. In fact, Mr.. Fuller
ton says that this Chicago concern
has a well organized and far-reaching
system for the smuggling of game, and
he is determined to break it up as far
as this state is concerned.
Coaxed Them Back.
1t is learned that the shipment Of
ducks seized on Monday night had, in
fact, crossed the Iowa state line before
1t was intercepted by the officers, but
the men in charge of the five wagons
in which the birds were being trans
ferred were induced to return into the
state of Minnesota and were then ar
rested.
Mr.. Fullerton explains that the seiz-
ure was not the result of chance dis
covery, but that officers of the COM
mission had been watching Kerrs es-
tabliShment for some time, and Capt.
Bird was warned on Monday of the
proposed shipment. Because of de-
layed train Capt. Bird and his men did
not reach Jackson in time to intercept
the wagons, and had to follow them
into Iowa before overtaking them.
1t is said that a man named Sehaf-
fenberg, who was instrumental in
causing the confiscation of the ducks,
was threatened when he returned to
Lakefield, and found some difficulty in
protecting himself

as required by law. Mr. Leavitt, of
that board, said yesterday that the
ducks would be held for a time, and
perhaps not distributed until Thanks

ed that $500 ducks would not go far
toward feeding 1000 people, but by
giving them out at Thanksgivingtge

The American District Steam COM

tablish a central plant, transmit steam
for heating purposes through conduits

At present the company asks the use
of the streets, included in what is
strictly the business district, Broad
way on the east, the river on the south,
Seven corners on the west, and Tenth
