POLICE PENSIONS
IN EFFECT JAN. |
FIFTEEN WE'RE SLATED FOR RE-
TIREMENT UNDER NEW LAW.
Many Officers View Prospective Re-
rnoval With Disfavor, as It Will De-
prive Them Of Half Their Present
Salaries Board, However, Can Force
Retirement Of Eligible Men.

r b.
Fifteen of the older officers on the po-
lice force can be retired about Jan. l,
under the state law providing pensions
for men who have become disabled or
iTcapacitated for duty. The board of
tax levy has made a levy Of one.
twentieth Of a mill for the pension
fund in this city, and that rate will
yield about $1,000 or enough to put the
retirement plan in operation. s.-
According to the law police officer
who has served twenty years, or has
reached the age Of So years, or has
become disabled in the discharge of
his duty may be retired on pension.
The final decision rests with board
which can retire an officer against his
will in the event that it is deemed that
he is not efficient. This board can also
keep an officer on duty, even tho he is
eligible for pension, should it be
found that he is still able to perform
active duty, but wishes to retire.
1t is provided that all officers on the
pension list shall be subject to duty
in emergencies, and thus they will form
a body of reserves. In no case will the
maximum pension exceed $40 a month,
and the amount is to be determined in
each individual case. ,.as ..-es..~.
Some of the older officers, slated for
retirement, are much opposed to losing
half their pay. 1t may be that they
will seek to use their influence on the
executive board of the Police Relief
association. This board will be con-
trolled by the force which elects five
Of the eight members. The ex-offcio
members are the mayor, the city treas
urer and the superintendent Of police.
It would be possible, of course, for the
elective members Of the board to con-
troll the matter of retirements so as to
keep the old fellows on the active list.
Still, Mayor David P. Jones is plan
ming on about fifteen vacancies to be
filed about Jan. l. In addition, the
board Of tax levy and the city council
has made an allowance for twenty adj
mayor twenty-five. new appointments
about the first Of the year, but he is
not advertising for applications, as
there are fully three hundred now en-
file, and most Of them are from active
and brawny young men, such as Mayor
Jones delighted in for POLICEMEN.

TIES UP HOARDS.
MINNEAPOLIS BANKERS MAY BE
FORCED TO RAISE RATES.
Unless Railroads Move Immense Crops
in Elevators Premiums on Money Ad-
vanced for Grain Must Necessarily
Be Increased-The Roads Are Con-
fronted by Monster Task.

The present period Of fine weather is
having important effect upon Minneap.
oils. The; grain trade is feeling it in
several ways, the railroads are affected
by it, and indications are that it will
influence the money market in an inn
portant degree.
This is the season when. the grain
country elevators are controlled from
here. AS these elevators take in wheat
and pay the farmers for it., the central
offices at Minneapolis borrow money, as
needed. Ordinarily everything moves
very smoothly, altho the monetary
transactions necessitated run into mill
ions. 49,. ~. ... .
This season the fine weather has en-
abled the farmers to finish up thresh-
ing early and practically the entire crop
is threshed and ready to sell. Contin'-
ued sunny days tempted the farmers
into town, and grain. marketings at
heavy. Meanwhile the railroads, Ia
boring under pressure of the heaviest
tonnage ever known at this date, are
unable to move the grain in as fast as
offered.
In Minnesota, North and South Da-
kota and northern Iowa, in country
tributary to Minneapolis, not less than
IVV country elevators are tlled to
cannot get the cars to load out the
grain and in some cases farmers are
hauling grain that the elevators can
not handle, back to their farms.
The effect Of this is to tie up
money, and unless the railroads make
good and relieve the situation, or the
farmers hold back, Minneapolis banks
will be obliged to advance rates. AL
ready there has been some hardening
OF the money market. ~ ' =.
To relieve the pressure in the coun-
try, restrictive measures are being put
on locally: Cars may no longer be used
for transfer of merchandise from one
local industry to another, except I'M
der certain conditions. The northwest
lines proper will not permit their roll
ing stock to go east, nor will any
road allow It's cars to leave it's own
rails without special permission.

3 AGED LOVER WAS HERE
But Eastman Doesn't Appear to Have
-.. -.- Been Married Yet.

It appears that G.. B. Eastman Of
Charles City,. Iowa, whom telegraphic
dispatches few days ago asserted had
sold all his property at half its value to
hasten to claim Minneapolis bride
whom he had secured thru an advertiser
ment, quietly came into Minneapolis
last Saturday, put up for the night at
the Hotel Nicollet and mysteriously dis
appeared Sunday. From the fact there
is no L" Miss Wood' of Minneapolis ad-
vertised in anyway as missing was
the name given of his prospective
bride-it would appear that Mr.. East
mans visit to Minneapolis did not re.
suit in his winning wife. Certain it is,
however, that no marriage ceremony for
for the clerk of the district court has
no record Of issuing license to any
such named parties. ....
Mr.. Eastman has several warm
friends in Minneapolis, all Of whom he
failed to visit during his hurried trip
to this city.

WANT TO MIGRATE
Loring Park Webfeet Try to Fly with
Clipped Wings. ..

Loring park ducks have begun to
take physical exercise preparatory to
their. fall migration. "But the park
board will fool them on that,'' said a
caretaker at the park. The instinct
which prepares them to take flight is
beginning to work on the pets Of the
park, and they are taking daily exer-
else to strengthen their wings, which,
alas, are. clipped too, short to carry
their weight. ..n
The ducks gather in a squad and
then do all sorts of diving stunts, walk
ing on the surface of the water with
the help of the wings, swimming long
distances under full speed, meanwhile
chattering and Tapping their wings as
if they were being pursued under the
water by muskrats.
Last night the ducks made their first

ACT OF LEGISLATURE KILLS AL
DERMAN N. J. NELsON's CLEVER
PLAN REGARDING SALOON Ar
RESTS.

Alderman Nels J.. Nelson, thru a
morning paper, has been exploiting a
plan to circumvent the saloon crusad-
ers by securing the passage of an ordi-
nance limiting the right to enter COM
plant Of violations Of the Sunday-clos-
Ing Ing law to members of the police force.
Inc plan has been received with de-
light in certain quarters, as it would
stop the Home Protective league cam
palgn, against saloons in the residence
districts. However, such an ordinance
would be invalid, because in contraven-
tion Of an act Of the legislature passed
in 1895 amending section 5, chapter Is,
OF the statutes Of 1878 (page l66, Gen,
eral Laws of 1880. The amendment
reads as follows:
And in like manner it shall be the duty
OF the mayor city attorney, chief of po-
lice or any other policeman in any in
corporated city and the privilege of any
person, to make such complaint for such
violation within such city Of any law OF
the state or bylaws of the city relative
to the sale Of Intoxicating liquors, any
provision of any ordinance of any city to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
