For several days past an inspector
from the Postoffice Department at
Washington has been investigating
the charges made by the Union Re
publicans in lower part Of the State
relative to the secret service examina-
tions recently held for rural mail car
riers. He has finished his iuvestiga-
tion at Selbyville, Georgetown and is
now investigating at Million. The ap-
pointments in these four places were
objected to by Union Republicans, who
charged that the civil service eXamina
tions were improperly held, and com
plants were filed to this effect with
the department at Washington.

The arrival of the first American wo-

Noticing his attention, the governor Of
Bongoa asked the old fellow what he

Former Mayor William Henry Eustis,

turned to Minneapolis yesterday, much
refreshed and invigorated by his vaca

ton in reference to the gubernatorial
nomination has been changed and insists
that he has resolutely eschewed politics
since leaving Minneapolis.
Wherever he went he met Minneapol-

visited were Watling's island, where Co
lumbus first landed; the wreck of the bat

and Richmond, Va. -

WILL AWAIT RESULT OF APPEAL
AT SALTWATER. :,
His Bond Is Fixed at $4,000, and Viva

Raising the Money-The Two Will
Be Married Again When Hazard Is

Samuel c. Hazard, convicted Of
having more than the legal number
Of wives and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary, must in all probability go to
saltwater Thursday or Friday and
there await the result Of his appeal to
the supreme court.
Judge F.. G. Brooks this morning
fixed the amount of the defendants
appeal bond at $1,000, in spite Of the
strenuous efforts of counsel to have
the amount lowered to $4,000. First
Assistant County Attorney C. s. Jelley
insisted that $4,000 was not too high a
figure, and objected to any further stay
Of sentence. Judge Brooks, however,
saw fit to compromise on a stay, and
gave the defendant until Thursday
noon to perfect a bond.
The large amount Of the bail re-
quired makes it practically prohibitive

BETTER THAN CALVE"
One Eastern Papers Comment on SoloIst
Of Next Symphony Concert.

Despite Mrs. Malaprop's trite Compare
sons are odorous," they are frequently Of
value and hence often used even when
they are little better than personalities.
Last year there was but one singer in
New York whom the public would accept
as Carmen, and that singer was Nine
Calve. This year, however, a former
Minneapolis girl made her appearance
upon the operate stage, and, in course Of
time, was cast as the cigarette girl. The
next morning Olive Fremstad awoke to
find herself very famous indeed. All Of
the New York papers compared her to
Calve and one, the New York Press, head
ed it's review with the bold statement:
"Fremstad Better Than Calve." ~
Miss Fremstad is to be the soloist at
the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra con-
cert at the International auditorium
Wednesday evening and will sing one of
the arias from Carmen" which made her
famous in New York. The seat sale Is
now on at the Metropolitan Music COM

COMPETITION At

STEAMBOAT MEN READY TO BID
FOR SEASONS TRAFFIC.

Put on New Fleet-Captain john

quarters - New Railroad Station
May Be. Built There.

Strong competition will prevail.this
summer in the steamboat. business at
Lake Minnetonka, and from all indi-
cations patrons of the boats will be
benefited The recent announcement
that Captain Watson and Frank Hey
wood Of the Excelsior pavilion were
to put on fleet Of boats in opposi-
ton to Commodore Johnson, who owns
the Puritan, Plymouth, Mayflower and
several of the smaller boats, has
caused the latter. to- announce his
plans He has been expecting such
a move, and says he will welcome
competition. In the first place, he
intends. to make Solberg's Point his
headquarters instead Of Excelsior.
His fleet will harbor there, all his
trips will start from that point, and
he will build large landing wharf,
designed with view entirely to the
safe and easy handling of a lake
crowd:
A railroad station is also projected
for Solberg's. At present nothing but
an apology for a platform exists there.
These improvements will put Solberg
in position to divide the steamboat
business with Excelsior, which has
heretofore been supreme.
Boatmen generally are somewhat
apprehensive in regard to the treat

this summer. Rumors are rife that
the wharfing and docking privileges
are going to cost them considerably
more than in past years. These priv
ileges are let to the highest bidder,
and up to this year the boatmen
themselves have bid in the rights. II
is stated upon good authority how
ever, that certain interests intend to
buy up all these privileges and then
sublet to the boatmen, charging q
stiff price.
It is to forestall any. such action
that Commodore Johnson has had his
eye upon Solberg's Point, and it is
announced that in any event that Elk

Since the projection of the Beach
pavilion, two distinct and antagonistit
parties have grown up on the south
shore of the lake. Haywood of the

while Beach, who will operate thu

other. Rivalry between the two places
