PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.
The Advertiser is in receipt of e cor:
plimentary copy of the report of tbs
Superintendent of Public Works for the
wear ending June 80, 1904. The literary
portion contributed by the Superlnten-
dent and heads of the various bureaus
is replete with valuable suggestions
and information. AS these suggestions
emanate from men versed in profess
sfonaI requirements matured by due ex-
perience, they are worthy o. carefui
nerusal and entitled to thoughtful con-
sideration The report is unusually
complete in details of expenditures OF
appropriations and segregation OF
same to various classes of work.
The expenditures are from two
classes of appropriations, Loan and
Current A Loan appropriation bill OF
s2,397, 270.75 was passed by the Legfs-
1ature of 1903 The first installment OF
this fund amounting to 100000. be-
came available on December Is. 1903
In the period of six months, tern1in-
ating June 30th. 1904. there was ex-
pended s5O5, 0S6.7s, an approximate
amount of s1s2.279 being reserved in
addition for completion of contracts. AMI
approximate balance of 1913, 6S3.79 isl
therefore available for the prosecution
OF other needed improvements. When
oil m O
proper appropriation of plans and es-
Inmates, the preliminary surveys, ETC., !
essential to an intelligent exploitation
of the enterprises is taken into con-
sideration, the amount accomplished in
such short period seems marvellous
and reflects great credit on the effici-l
ency and energy of the department.
A brief survey of the tables sub
mitted shows an expenditure:

The board has received a commune
cation from the management of the
state fair saying that the society will
be accommodated with such space in

sary for an exhibition at the next fair,
and will be given an early choice of
space. The offer was gratefully accept
ed.

GRAND JURY WILL
MAKE REPORT TO-DAY
Nothing But Jail Gases Have So Far
Been Considered.

The grand jury, which has been busy
since it convened on Tuesday, will
make its first report today, at which
time number of indictments in Jail
cases are expected to be returned
During the three days that the grand
jury has. been in session a large num-
Der of witnesses have been summon
ed and examined, but all of them were
in connection with some case in which
the party under investigation was in
custody.
There are eight or ten Jail cases, but
none of them, with the exception of
the Parker manslaughter case, is of
much Importance.
After the report of the jury today on
the Jail cases it is expected that other
matters will be taken up,. although no
one connected with the grand jury or
the county attorneys Office could be
found yesterday who was willing to
predict what sort of an investigation
would be taken up.

HEALTH COMMISSIONER
BECOME FACETIOUS
DiscIoses Mild Streak of Humor in Re-
ply to Correspondent.

Health Commissioner Ohage is now
seeking laurels as a humorist. Yester-
day the doctor received a communica-
ton from a lady-apd miss, by the
way-in which a vigorous protest was
made against the harboring of wild
animals on Harriet island. The letter,
which came from Selby avenue, alleged
that the animals endanger the health Of
the children, besides which the writer
suggested that it is cruel to keep them
confined. The answer to the letter tells
its own story:
1 received your letter of March 9th, in
which you demonstrate against the keeping
of wild animals in the Harriet island zoo.
/ am always thankful for any pointers
which 1 may receive, but be assured that
these animals are not treated cruelty.
Everyone that knows me also knows that
I would not even hurt politician or an
angleworm, and the animals are well
treated and are there for the instruction
of children. There are so many young ones
in town that do not know the difference
between coyote and prairie wolf that
I believe it is part of their schooling
to see these animals.
1 hope you will often be at the island
next summer and if you at any time
should see anything that displeases you
I will always be glad to have you tell
me,

FINGER TALK FAILS
TO SOLVE MYSTERY
So the Speeches. Man Is Sent
to the City Hospital for
Treatment.

Although his place of abode remains
mystery, the name of the dumb prls-
oner at the Ramsey county jail, whose
attempts to make himself understood
have hitherto proved futile, has been
ascertained to be John Kell.
Thinking that the man might be
able to communicate in the-deaf mute
language, he was yesterday confronted
with the matron of the Jail, who is an
expert in the methods of sign commu-
nication. She made several attempts
to make him understand what was
wanted of him, but the only reply
forthcoming was gruat and shake
of the head.
Finally the man of mystery produced
three photographs and handed them to
the deputy sheriff. The sheriff asked
him if they were pictures Of his chill
dren, but beyond patting the top of his
head and smiling benignly the man was
mute as the sphinx. On the back of
one of the photographs, that of child
of three years, the name Edwin P Kell
was written. The deputy pointed to
the name and then to the man and was
rewarded by several violent mods of
the mysterious ones head.

shown him, the man shook his head
he took the pencil himself and made
few hieroglyphics on the paper placed
before him. The warden of the Jail in
terpreted them to be John so John
Kell he is, and as John Kell he has
been entered on the books of the city
hospital, where he was sent for treat
ment by DR.. Ancker.
The only other clew to his possible
home is sale slip from the store Of

MAY ABANDON
THE BOULEVARD
Park Board Say Property Owners
Must Reduce Their Prices.


At it's meeting yesterday the board
of public works decided that unless
the owners of the river front between
Watson and East Seventh street re-
duce the price asked for their land, the
plan to build 100-foot boulevard will
be abandoned. At the instance of the
property owners the hearing was con-
tinued for two weeks, with the I'M
Outstanding that the owners will make
an effort to reach an understanding
with the park board.
In the opinion of the members of
the board of public works, the owners
of the property it is proposed to use
are taking advantage of the conditions
to demand an exorbitant price. The
land has been acquired and graded
from Summit to Watson. 1t is now
proposed to extend the boulevard to
West Seventh street, intersecting at
the approach to the Fort Smelling
bridge. This, it is claimed, is the only
way in which suitable outlet can
be secured.

BELIEVES HIS DEATH
WAS ACCIDENTAL
Sister of John Burke Says He Used
Strychnne for Heart Affection.

Regarding the sudden death Of John
Burke Tuesday night, at the Acme
hotel, on East Seventh street, a sister,
Mrs. William Crossen, of South st.
Paul, stated to T he Gil O b e yesterday
that the young man was in the habit of
taking strychnine for an affection of
the heart from which he had suffered
for some time. She says he had no
troubles of sufficiently serious nature
to cause him to take such a desperate
step as suicide, and that she believes
an overdose of poison was taken acct
dentally.

Gives History of Contract.
.T repeated to the board all that
had said to Mr.. Jacobson in explana-
ton of my conduct before the board on
Friday, the 18th Of February by ar
rangement and request of Mr.. Bronson.
They then questioned me about the
stock that Bronson had mentioned that
he would take over from Wolfer. They
wanted to know whether this was not
stock in the company that Bronson and
woIfer contemplated forming. I said,
NO. it was stock that Bronson had
taken at the formation of the company.
This made it necessary to go back to
the beginning. When We got into the
concern, in 1900, it was part of the
assets Of the bankrupt firm of Tarbox,
Schliek & Co. Lind was governor, and
Capt. Nee. Reeve was warden OF the
penitentiary He had scarcely got into
the business when we were Informed
that the governor held the contract IN
valid.
1.-THE position was so uncomfortable
that we tried in every way to sell the
plant. Soon after this Wolfer came in as
warden, and asked me what we wanted
to get out of there for, and remarked
that if we knew how good a thing it
was we would not want to sell. New
ertheless, told him we wanted to sell
and get out. Then he said, w hat Will
you give me if / find you a customer
We had been negotiating with several
firms and had inyoiced the whole thing

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The Demo-
cratic national executive committee
conference was held here today. There
We're present: Chairman Taggart, Of
the national committee; August Bel
mont, former Senator Smith, of New
Jersey; Senator Martin, of Virginia.;
Delaney Nicoll vice chairman of the
national committee, and George Fos-
ter Peabody, treasurer of the national
committee. In the absence of Chair
man Sheehan, Mr. Belmont presided.
When the meeting adjourned, late to-
day, Chairman Taggart announced that
the reports that had been received were
very encouraging. He added: .'The
conditions in New York, both state and
city, are most satisfactory"
Chairman Meyer, after a conference
with members of the state executive
committee, among whom were Patrick
H. McCarren, made the following an
nouneement:
cord Meyer, chairman of the Demo-
cratic state committee, has added Sena-
tor Proctor j. Bowling to the executive
committee. w. S.. Rodie has already
been assigned in charge of the bureau
of organization for the organization of
the party outside of Greater New York
and Senator Dowling will perform SINH
lar duties in Greater New York
The selection of Mr.. Bowling for
the position named was the result of a
conference at Democratic national
headquarters. 1t is intended to restore
political harmony between McCarren
and Murphy and so far as the organiza-
ton of the state and national campaign
is concerned it will have that result
