Some Opposition.

porous Condition OF City.

'Therewas a large gathering Of voters
at the Non-Partisan caucus held in the.
opera house Thursday evening. The
attendance was almost as large as last
year when there was fierce contest
on. but this year there was nothing of
the kind.
There appeared to be but one choice
for clerk at the meeting and that was
the nomination of Louis Schilling,
who has been serving out the unexpir-
ed term of b. J. Bobleter. 1.-THE senti-
#ment of the caucus is anything to go
by Mr.. schilling will have no trouble
in being elected to the offfee he is seek
ing.
In the First ward the choice Of the
caucus fell to Robert Scherer, there
being three candidates in the field: JOS.
Flor, the present incumbent j.
Graft and Robert sScherer. Jos. Bob
Letter, A. W. Bingham and Geo. MART

The committee in this ward is Fred

A number of those present were call

that with the system of mana cement
now in vogue the city is, getting. in bet
ter shape and Clerk Schilling stated
that he hoped at the end of the present
year there would be such a reduction
in the. expenses ofth6 city that the tax
levy would be reduced.
Superintendent Wagner, stated that
the light department was in excellent
condition and getting better all the
time, and he hoped soon to have the
water department. in as good condi-
ton. The reforms he is working have
to come gradual but there is evidence
that they will work a benefit to the city.
The caucus was gratifying in the
spirit til at pred ominated and the in
terest the people the city take in
public affairs.

CITY SEEKS SEWER OUTLET
One Large Main Sewer Recon-
mended as Best.
St. Paul Engineer Working on
Problem For City.
Present System Proves Unsatis-
factory and Unsafe.

Trouble with the main sewer. OF the
city has resulted in the necessity OF
revising the system in order TIC. correct
the evil The main trouble is with the
sewer opening into the river under the
Eagle mill elevator. This is the line
that goes through German park and
about a year ago gave the city much
trouble by caving in almost in the
center of the park.
To place this outlet in good shape
at that time the city expended some
S1,500, and now it developes that the
sewer in other places is cracked and
threatens to give way. Passing as it
does under the large elevator, Just be-
fore it enters the river, there is danger
that trouble may arise where it would
be difficult to get at it to correct it..
With all these difficulties in view and
the increasing demand for sewerage
making the present system inadequate,
the city council has been figuring on a
scheme to correct the difficulty.
For this purpose it has secured the
service of A r. Starkey, first as
sistant sanitary engineer of st. Paul,
who arrived in the city Friday and
has since been engaged in going over
the ground with the president of the
council, making notes and deductions
SO as to be able to report fully on the
naatter.
He suggests that the best way to
remedy the matter will be to have. one
main sewer following Center street to
6ae river, with diameter OF five feet,
extending from Minnesota street, and
this to carry off the surface water
draining into it from its various
connections.
Mr.. Starkey has submitted plans of
the proposed sewer andgthe estimated
cost which he places at about $4,000,
and advises that it be put in as there
is always danger of the old sewer
irving trouble.
The old line of sewers was built some
eight years ago and is constructed Of
two-foot pipe and is entirely made
quate for the needs of the city.
There is no fund in the treasury for
this purpose and there is atpresent no
way to borrow money, but President
Elmer has seen Representative Peter
son in the interests of the city and has
had him intoduce a bill, framed SO as
to give cities of less than 10000 inha-
Infants the right to issue bonds for the

It can be said that the simiI arity
in the account of Mrs. Bobleter S death
in the News and Journal is not strik-

be similar, but this similarity is too
great for greatness even.

A FEW BILLS OF LOCAL INTEREST
Senator Somerville Believes New

by working day and night, will proba-
bly, be able to report the code by Satur-
day, but we should have had at least
two months.
We are making many additional
amendments to the code. but by no
means all of them are important. I
don't believe that it will be very diff
cult for a conference committee of the
house and the senate to agree on the
amendments. =
Senator. George p. Wilson Of Mime
apolis introduced abill Thursday pro-
posing an amendment to the consti-
tuition extending the terms of the COVER
nor and of the lieutenant governor
from two to four years, and making
the governor Ineligible for reelection.
A similar bill is pending in the house.
If the bill becomes a law, the pro-
posed amendment will be submitted to
the people at the 1905 election.
Senator George p. Wilson'S bill
prohibiting the sale of giant fire.
crackers in Minnesota after July i,
1905, was passed by the senate Thurs
day without debate. The bill is a step
toward the prohibition of the use of ali
dangerous explosives on the Fourth Of
July.

HEAVY VOTE REQUIRED FOR BONDS
If Proposition to Issue Bonds Car
ries People Must Vote.

& -
It seems that the best way to get rid
of the debt of SIC, 900 that falls due on
the 1st Of July, this year, is to vote
new bonds.
The city is not in position to pay
this debt and the bonds call for a
much higher rate Of interest than new
ones can be sold for so it is not adj
.visable to refund them.
In order that this proposition may
carry a large vote is require and in
the interest Of the city it's hoped that
the citizens will make an effort to ex-
press their choice in the mater at the
election Tuesday.
Our stock of wall paper has the
choicest cOlors and our prices are
the cheapest. Louis j. Buenger.

purpose of laying sewers. This bill
has been introduced in the house. and
if it becomes a law, it is the purpose
of the council to attempt. at least, to
get money from the school fund OF the
state. which can be had for from three
to four per cent per annum. In this
way the cost Of the sewer will be
lessened, as the amount Of interest
will not be SO great.
In his report to the council, sub
mitted Monday, Mr.. Starkey advises
immediate action and ecommends that
the work be done by machinery, as by
so doing the cost is reduced more than
one-half.

FALL DIsLOCATES HER SHOULDER
Mistake in Doors Causes Mrs. Sine.
er Serious Injury.

Friday evening Mrs. John Singer
fell and seriously injured herself, dis
locating her shoulder blade and
bruising her face.
It seems that the lady in her attempt
to cross through a dark hallway with
a pail Of water mistook the door lead
ing down flight of steps for one ad-
joining and opening into the kitchen
thus causing her to fall from the up
per. roomst to the ground floor in the
rear Of Eugene Koehler's barber shop.
A physician was called to dress the
wound and at the present writing the
lady is resting comfortably.

trouble In helping those in want and
sorrow, and no one is conscious that
they ever do more than think of
amusement and chiffon. 1t is so easy
on insufficient evidence to attack a
class and pin it down to a particu-
lar weakness, because it is always
more amusing to criticize than to
praise, and the Smart set" is handy
scapegoat to attack.
Those who do so know nothing
about them, nor do they know who
belongs to the set. 1t is a purely hc-
titious designation bestowed by the
slipshod journalism of to-day, which
is becoming the real reproach to our
country. Vice and weakness is not
the monopoly of any class here or
anywhere else. The working classes
are not perfect, and those who teach
and lead them have as much of the
weaknesses of human nature as any
one. The truth is that it is easy to
attack class by making accusations
too ridiculous to answer, even were
that class not too proud to pay any
attention to them.

are, in relation to men, finer animals;
they stand in their competition with
men in no mean position. That there
are some women who drink more

counteract that feeling of depression
and exhaustion, produced by many
causes besides those of overexertion
and excitement, no one can deny.
But there are not in the least typical;
