TROUBLE AT THE HEIGHTS
McCAGUE ERECTS SHACK IN
STREET AND WILL RESIST AT
TEMPT TO EVICT HIM.

Trouble is expected at Columbia
Heights over the rental of houses in
that village, a large number of which
belong to the Columbia Heights I'M
provement company. John Fleetham,
Jr., who recently made a campaign
for president Of the village council
has a lease for grazing purposes for
large portion Of the land belong
ing to the company. These grazing
leases carry with them the use of the
houses belonging to the company, and
it Is over the possession of these
houses that dispute has arisen.
Just at present the case of w. S.
McCague attracts the attention of the
villagers. Mr.. McCague has bought
a lot in Columbia Heights, and pend
ing the erection of a dwelling upon
this lot, he set up a shack in the juno
ton of two streets. These streets have
never been used for traffic, and Mr..
McCague sees no reason why his
shack should not stand there until
his other dwelling is completed. He
alleges that Mr.. Fleetham's efforts to
force him to move are inspired by
personal spite, because McCague did
not vote for him at the recent elec-
ton, and he intends to resist any at
tempt to evict him, unless sanctioned
by the village council.

ANOTHER PECULIAR CUT
MYSTERIOUS INFORMANT GOT
COMMITTEE TO SLASH PUBLIC
EXAMINERS WORKING FUND.

"Information'' conveyed to the ap-
preparations committee of the last
legislature resulted in cutting down
the contingent fund of the public ex-
aminer from $4,000 to $4,000 year.
The story in yesterdays Q u n a /,
of the attempt to cripple State Auditor
Iverson in the care Of state lands, by
cutting his appropriation down from
$4,000 to $4,000, brought the other
matter to light.
The house and senate committees
had agreed on the omnibus approprla-
ton, bill, carrying $4,000 approprla-
ton for the contingent fund of the
public examiner. Just before the bill
came up for action the house mad
acted on the report of the committee
on public accounts and expenditures,
which recommended that the pubic
examiner look further into certain
matters connected with the state au-
ditor's office. This report caused
quite q stir, and it is now connected
with the action of the appropriations
committee, which was informed that
$4,000 was too much for the pubic
examiner, and put an amendment thru
on the floor of the house, cutting the
item to $4,000. The bill was passed
| Immediately, and it was too late to
| make any correction. The curtali-
! ment in the appropriation seriously
| hampered the work Of the public ex-
aminer in checking up the auditors
office and the gross earnings reports
| of the railroads.

BAND FOR LAKE HARRIET
PARK BOARD AGREES TO CON-
+ TRACT WITH PR FEES OR
OBER-HOFFER - BIDS F. o r.
PRIVILEGES TO BE ADVER-
TISED FOR.

Emil Ober-Hoffer's plan for Mime
apolis Park band will be realized. The
park board yesterday agreed to a six
weeks contract for a military band Of
forty pieces at $1,000 a week, at Lake
Harriet. Mr.. Ober-Hoffer will imme-
diately enter upon the work Of organic
ing and training the band. President
Frederick Fayram Of the Philharmonic
club addressed the board on the subject
Of music at Lake Harriet next summer
and assured the commissioners that Mr.
flrst-class music,
Wallace G. Nye, on behalf Of the Com
mercial club. urged that music be provided
at the other parks in the city. This was
referred to the committee on entertain
ment also was the request of the knights
Of Pythias band for an engagement at
Lake Harriet.
The board decided to advertise for bids
for the privileges at Lake Harriet. c. w.
and is said to have some elaborate plans
in view.
1t was decided by the board to offer the
United States government five and one
half acres at Minnehaha at 500 an acre,
the price paid by the park board. The
land Is wanted for the dam.
| A resolution to pay Vinette and Bertha
Lincoln 1864 for their land in the Mime
haha midway and 1885 to Fanny G. Lane
was adopted. It is understood that this
closes one. of the anonying incidents con-
nected with the movement for securing
possession Of the midway and effectually
bars out the Gardeners from securing a
! ten-year lease. It is not likely however
that any attempt will be made to disturb
| the present lease which runs for two sea-
| sons more.

OF INTEREST TO
: BUSINESS MEN

Everyone having money to spend or
wants to supply should understand the
routine Of business transactions, and while
the fundamental function of the COM
mercial advertisement Is to furnish and
distribute useful Information, the adver-
tlsement does not always give more than
the name and place Of business OF those
doing business. W. -- .- -
Take the case OF buying and selling a
house for instance. No one buys house
until after an inspection and the trans
fer Of title and possession Is complete,
when the price or consideration Is deIiv-
cred. All Of these forms take place In
every transaction for the sale Of personal
property.
The advertisement does not alter the
property In things; it simply facilitates
business transactions and facilitates SELL
Ing and buying In this way. The advert
lsement, In many Instances, describes an
article, states It's quantity, quality and
price and frequently Its location In the
store, and so full and complete the Infor-
nation that thousand buyers can select
precisely what they want In less time than
! It would take to wait on one hundred
! persons without its aid and Information.
1t has been said that the stores are
closed at night and that advertising In
an evening newspaper Is needless ex-
! pense In a city where morning news
paper Is published. This Is a very silly and
very shallow criticism. The first quail
ity evening newspaper Is edited for the
home, the family fresIde. for Intelligent
women, and is their only newspaper
reading. .. 80, ,.,... .N@,.4.. --.,. .- .-.,.
The Journal Is accepted as the best
advertising medium In Minneapolis ane
Minnesota, and It's freedom from oblec.
tonable advertisements has endeared Il
| to the home and the family fIreslde ir
a sense to Justify Its large advertising
patronage from the most discriminating
i advertisers. ...,t. -. -..

NEW JNDICT MENIS
AGAINST JOHNSON
GRAND JURY THOUGHT TO HAVE
RETURNED TRUE BILL.
Former Superintendent of the Poor
Likely to- Be Brought to Trial at
Once-Documentary Evidence That
Makes C. II. Browns Testimony
Unnecessary Said to Have Been
Discovered.

AS a result Of this mornings work
in the grand jury room, the county
attorney is understood to be ready to
proceed to the. trial of w. III. John
son, former superintendent Of the
poor and secretary of the board of
charities and corrections, even in the
absence of c.. H. Brown, former book
keeper for the board and Johnson's
alleged confederate.
The Irregularities said to have been
INDUCED in by Mayor A. A. Ames'
appointees were this morning, for the
fourth time, the subject of grand jury
investigation. Edward Ekman, the
present bookkeeper, to whose efforts
are due discoveries resulting in past
and present indictments against john
son and Brown, spent nearly an hour
before the inquisitors. It is under
stood that he gave evidence of john
sons presenting fraudulent bill to
a public official for payment, and it
is expected that another indictment
against the former secretary will be
returned forthwith.
The charge to be preferred in the
new indictment is said to be stronger
than that upon which the indictment
was returned last winter, in that it
can be substantiated by documentary
evidence, recently discovered, and
without the testimony of G. II. Brown.
Brown disappeared very inoppor-
timely for the state, and altho the
authorities state that they have in
formation that he is in Buenos Aires,
South America, they have been un-
able to secure his return. It appears
that the affairs in the office were sc
manipulated that Johnson could not
be convicted of any nalfeasance with
out the testimony Of Brown, and vice
versa.
Johnson's case is set for April 18.

WINE IS WEARY
OF LEGAL BATTLE
SUED MILWAUKEE ROAD AND
NOW SEEKS TO QUIT.
Charged SANDER on Part Of the Con-
ductor and Asked for $4,000 DAM
ages-Road Put in Counserclaim for
Twenty-one Cents Fare.

Eric L. Winnie of Duluth is having
trouble to get rid of lawsuit in the
federal court. He is the plaintiff and
would like to let go, but according to
the rules of the court cannot do 80.
January Is Winnie boarded Chica-
go, Milwaukee & ST. Paul railway
passenger train at Granite Falls,
bound for Sacred Heart. 1t was 2:30
a. m. and Wine was soon sleeping the
sleep of the man who gets UP az that
hour of the night to catch train.
When the train reached Sacred Heart
Winnie slumbered on. He awoke near
Renville and started to leave the
train.
At this juncture, Winnie alleges in
his complaint, the conductor inter
fered and demanded fare from Sa-
| cred Heart to Renville. Winnie re-
fused to pay on the ground that the
conductor had neglected to waken him
| at the proper station. He alleges that
| the conductor said: you are thief
and you are in the habit Of stealing
rides on trains. I could have you ar
rested. I have got you spotted nov
and the next time you get on my train
/ will make you pay fare"
Winnie says he was Inundated tt
such an extent that he thought about
$4,000 was due from the railroad com
| pany. The corporation filed ar
answer in which they demanded thai
| judgment for twenty-one cents
! Winje's fare from Sacred Heart t.
| Renville, be awarded them. The mat
! ter rested until recently, when Winjt
decided to dismiss his suit and so in
formed the clerk of the court. The
clerk was unable to dismiss the suit
as the counter claim of the railroad
company was in the way.
/ When the calendar was fixed in fed
eral court this morning a motion wa
filed by Winnie for the dismissal of tn
case. It was taken under advisemen
by Judge Lochren and will be decided
1 later.

he was a small boy, and his father
came west to locate in business, leav-
ing Louis with his brother. Later the
boy, hearing that his father had set
tied in Minneapolis, came here to live
with him. He didn't like school and
decided to go back to, New York. He

FAY FOSTER SHOW
1t Makes Good at the Dewey Theater
This Week.

1t Makes Good at the Dewey Theater
This Week.
The tendency of burlesque shows to
discard the conventional program OF two
short burlesque sketches, divided by an
olio of vaudeville specialties, is shown
at the Dewey theater this week by the
Fay Foster company. This troupe pre-
sents three-act comedy which has more
of a plot than the usual burlesque sketch,
but not enough to burden the performers
materially The songs are catchy, tho
none Is particularly fresh.
The specialties interpolated in the show
are the real feature of the production.
The exhibition of trick bicycle riding by
Messrs Houghton, Mosher and Houghton
is unquestionably the finest thing In this
line ever seen in Minneapolis. Zoa Mat
thews, assisted by boy soprano with
an unusually pleasing voice, wins several
encores for her songs. The dancing OF
Walter Terry makes a decided hit, and
the tumbling Of G. Cunningham is a
feature, as is also the singing dog chap
eroned by that gentleman. Constance
Window, petite and swinsome brunette
takes the solo part in most Of the songs
The costumes are good. and the chorus
fairly attractive.
