DEMOCRATS WAGE
A MERRY CONTEST
Champions of MayoraIty Candidates
Engage in sultry Campaign

Mayor James c. Haynes was hostile
yesterday.
At a meeting on Wednesday even
ing at Normanna hall Frand D.
Larrabee claimed the public service
corporatitins contributed to Mayor
Haynes campaign fund two years ago
and that the mayor had refrained from
advising the city council of the alleged
facts that the rates were excessive and
the service not competitive but a mo-
nopoly.
During the course of an address on
behalf of Orville Rinehart, candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
mayor who believes in municipal own
ership of public utilities, Mr.. Larrabee
declared that two years ago the pub
lie service corporations of Minneapolis
had contributed to Mayor Haynes
campaign fund and when the mayor
challenged the statements he was as
sured that if the chief executive would
call at Mr.. Larrabees office he would
furnish him with dates and amounts.
Mr.. Larrabee asserted that while the
gas company's franchise expires in six
years and the city is privileged to pur-
chase the plant, no steps looking to
the conservation of funds for this pur-
pose have been taken and the atten-
uon OF the city council has not been
called to the fact that the life of the
franchise is about at an end.
The General Electric company has a
franchise which does not exlgre fol
sixteen years, but this company is
seeking to secure a new and more lib
eral franchise, but owing to the fac,
that the majority of the city council is
composed of Republicans who are can
didates for reelection action has beer
deferred until after November. Their
there will be some agitation for a new
franchise.
Mayor Haynes declares the public
service corporations did not contribute
to his campaign fund to his knowledge
and asserts that the members of the
campaign committee assured him that
his contribution and that of John Line
were the largest received.
Mayor Haynes says that until new
city charter is adopted the council has
no power to act in the case of the pub.
lie service corporations and until thai
time their franchises are absolute.

LONDONERS KEEP
ON SPECULATING.

LONDON, Sept. 9-What is termed
Japanese "impenetrable silence re-
duces English comment on the events
at the seat of war to a minimum. AS
dispatches from ST. Petersburg have
continuously pointed out, every devel-
opment now lies with the Japanese, in
whose hands is the initiative.
In view of the continued silence from
the quarter which alone can throw
light on the tense situation, the Eng
fish critics satisfy themselves by fore
casting an impending great battle at
Mukden or its vicinity They have
practically given up, however, the illu-
sion current prior to and during the
first stages of the Liau-yang contest
that any degree of fnality is likely to
be attached to this prophesied engage
ment.
The fanatical disregard for death dis
played on both sides and the ability to
keep an army in being, either from the
offensive or defensive point of view,
and under conditions regarded as pro-
hlbitive, have done more to convince
the English press of. the desperate
| character of the struggle than all the
dispatches that have emanated from
Tokyo or ST. Petersburg, declaring that
neither the Japanese nor the Russians
will ever give in.
In place of endeavoring to follow the
| minute progress of the campaign, this
mornings newspapers somewhat hope
lessly devote editorials prepai ing the
English public to be witnesses that the
war will be longer drawn out and more
terrible in every respect than any with
in recent centuries.
The Telegraph believes that Gen.
Kuropatkin, owing to the peril of his
| rear guard or the prostration of his
troops, has paused in his retreat and
turned for battle" while the Standard
thinks that bttle is now in progress.
But. as the Telegraph says, the whole
problem lies at present between dark
and daylight
The Standards Tien Tsin CORE
spondent says that reports from
Kwangning, an important Manchurian
city west of the Lao river, say that
| lawlessness and brigandage are rapidly
increasing there. Many districts are
terrorized and robbery and violence

VOTERS LEAGUE
SUED FOR LIBEL
Candidate for Office Takes Ac-
ton Against Officers of the
Organization

Michael w. Nash, candidate for the
Republican nomination from the third
county commissioner district, is out for
revenge, vindication and $4,000.
He has brought suit against John
secretary, of. the Minneapolis executive
committee of the Minneapolis Voters
league. for libel because of the charges
that the league made regarding him in
its recent summary of the character of
the different candidates for county
commissioner.
Among other things the league Off
GERS of the league said of Mr.. Nash:
Has no business occupation. A cam
didate for county commissioner in
every election since 1888 and served
three terms. A member of all COM
bines and an active party to all the
extrava gance that has characterized
most of the boards of his time. Takes
the larger part of the county building
patronage for his share of the spoils.
Distinctly out of place in any other Off
cial capacity than that of job hunter.
The public interests have suffered nota-
bly, from his presence on the board.
Wholly out of place in a modern Off
cial body that wants to do public bust
ness in a businesslike way. No voter
of the Third district, who has any re-
gard for the interests of the taxpayers,
can cast his vote for M. w. Nash'
Mr.. Nash has written piece for
the papers and over his signature says:
The publication of the report of the
self-constituted committee of public
safety, as far as it relates to the I'M
dersigned is beneath my contempt and
that of all who love fair play =

WHEAT IS HIGHER
September Option Closes Two
Cents Above Wednesday

The bulls were in control of the
Minneapolis wheat market yesterday
and the September wheat option closed
at $1.13A, rs cents above the final
figures of Wednesday. December and
May each closed 2 cents higher.
The principal influences were the re-
ports from the Southwest to the effect
that Kansas millers had sold large
quantities of flour to Liverpool, and
this had buoyant effect on the trad
ing, although the Minneapolis flour
market has shown little Improvement
The bears had a slight advantage in
the fact that the weather was excellent
for the crop and the markets of the
world decidedly mixed. London was
lower and Liverpool and others prac-
tically unchanged.
Paris showed a slight advance.

WORKHOUSE INMATES
TO MAKE PLANT POTS
Inventive Genius Suggests New voea
ticn for Single Creek Folk.

Now that the quarrying OF stone and
making of bricks by the prisoners at
the workhouse has been declared dis
tasteful to union labor, the suggestion
has been made by some fertile mind
that the prisoners be put at work maxi
ink flower pots for the use of the
florists and greenhouse managers of
Minneapolis.
1t is alleged that the florists Of Min
neapolis and st. Paul use $4,000 worth
of pots each year. and there is no pot
terry establishment in the two cities
capable of supplying the demand.
There is a fine bed of clay near the
workhouse and this plan probably will
have precedence over all others until
some person raises objection and an
other idea is sprung on the board Of
charities and corrections.

Little Miss Co1nors had applied to a
New York cottagerl for the post of caddy,

accepted.
She progressed famously until late in

HAS BEEN A HORSE
THIEF FOR SO YEARS
Charles J. w. Asrelius, Aged Eighty, Has
Piled the Vocation for Half Century

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Sept. Slightly
years old and for fifty years a horse thief,
Charles j. w. Agrelius is again in JAIL
1t seems hardly worth while, but he is
making strenuous efforts to escape.
The most notorious horse thief in the
Middle West is as spry today as many men
of middle age. He does not look over six
ty. He insists, though, that he is almost
eighty -four, and people who knew the
veteran criminal in the early days say he
is. He has gray chin whiskers, is some
what bald, and wears his hair long, In
ringlets He is slight and of medium
height, somewhat stoop- shouldered, and
shifty-eyed.
OF course, he has a romance or says he
has. He was driven from Sweden by a
love affair and duel. Then he came to this
country and soon after started out as a
thief. Thirty years ago he operated ex-
: tensively along the Sank and Mississippi
rivers, and the pioneers cursed the organ
lied gang that they supposed was run
ming off with their horses.
His method was to pick his horses and
when conditions were favorable make a
quick run from Southern Wisconsin across
the state into Northern Illinois. Here
he had cave which concealed him and
the horses until the hue and cry was
over. Then he was off to Southern Illi-
nois to dispose of the horses to farmers.
He had been arrested scores of times,
but SO well were his tracks covered and
SO pleasing an impression did he make on
judges and juries that the district attor-
neys found him a hard man to convict;
Or if they were successful, he escaped
with a minimum sentence.
He himself declares that all his convic-
tons have been unjust. He has asked
permission to communicate with the gov
ernor to secure lawyer. On previous
occasion. he says, the governor secured
three lawyers for him. Nevertheless, he
went to the penitentiary

TEAS THAT ARE
WORTH FORTUNES
Twelve Hundred Kinds Are In China $
Show at the Worlds Fai-..The Most
Popul0us Nation of the World For
the First Time Makes an Exhibit
Worthy of Her Greatness.

Many expositions of stupendous char
acter make up the Worlds Fair of
1904. Each part Is q vast and distinct
show. Each building shelters many
acres Of wonderful things-wonderfu
because they are the choicest of their
kind. Every nation on the globe is
represented. Every state and territory
Is here with Its best and making the
most of its greatest opportunity.
The fact that China has not been a
large exhibitor at worlds fairs gives
to her great exhibit here prominence
quite exceptional. 1t is wonderland
Of ingenious productions We know
China best by reason Of her extensive
exports of teas, which have found a
vast market in the United States for
generations Her commercial interests
therefore prompted her to make a dis
play Of teas that we should not for
get.
In sealed glass jars China displays in
the Liberal Arts Palace some 1900
kinds of tea. Young Hyson and Old
I Hyson have string of tea relations
longer than the genealogical chain of
Plymouth Rock. They are neatly Sc
lected Chops" in the language of the
tea farmer, and these classes do not
embrace medicinal teas, which are
quite another lot In the rather modest
number of 400.
The teas exhibited vary in price from
q few cents a pound to some rare and
exclusive kinds that are worth their
weight in gold, the tea in the latter
cases being placed on one side of the
scales and pure gold on the other
that is to say, the tea Of this expensive
kind is worth about $50 gold an ounce.
Only very small quantity of this ex-
elusive leaf is exhibited, and it is
grown in carefully guarded tea planta-
tons or gardens right under the shad-
ows of the great wall of China. Its cul-
tivation is prohibited for any use save
for the imperial family Of China and a
few of the favored high officials.
Mention has been made of the word
"chop' in connection with tea. and it
may be interesting to the everyday
reader to know what the word actually
signifies. The tea leaf is grown in va.
rious districts of the Chinese empire on
