-FOUR REPORT TO DOYLE
MAYOR FILLS SOME VACANCIES
WITH NEW MEN, APPOINTED
STRICTLY ON MERIT.

Mayor D. P. Jones today filed four
of. the vacan cies created by the free
use Of the guillotine among the South
side squad. The new police officers are
W: E. Munger. Thomas A. Neil, John w.
Kierce and S. G.. Lee. Munger has
been a special officer for some time, and
recently distinguished himself by beat
ing two soldiers from Fort Smelling, who
undertook to run a ball game at Min.
nehaha park. Neil lives at 2727 Third
street N, Kierce at 1917 First street n,
and Lee is also a resident Of the third
ward. All of the new appointees are
under IS years, and are expected to
become efficient officers, as they are
understood to be appointed solely on
their merits. Three Of them will be
sent to the south station.
The Southside squad will be increased
if it is possible to do so. The CONNER
cial club and the merchants Of that sec
ton Of the city complain that the police
protection is Inadequate; that the pa
trolmen have too large beats, particu
larly at night, and in consequence thai
portion of the city is not effectively
policed. -.-.

HOW TIE CITY IMPROVES
CLOSING OF GAMBLING HOUSES
RIDS MINNEAPOLIS OF AN UNI
DESIRABLE ELEMENT. "

"I was never so favorably impressed
with any city as with Minneapolis, -
said Brigadier John Cousins, of the
Salvation Army, who recently came to
Minneapolis to take charge of the
northwest province.
81 believe that the city administra-
ton is working hard to improve the
city in every way. The patrol-limit law
in regard to the saloons seems to me to
be the best that could be devised. I
have worked in many of the cities Of
eral tendency is towards reform in
many ways, including such things as
the best expenditure Of the city funds,
the restraint of the immoral elements,
and the endeavor to put competent men
into office. MINNEAPOLIS seems to have
taken up with the new spirit and is
proceeding admirably"
"When [ came to Minneapolis from
New York. said Captain Gooding of
the industrial department, IT was told
that we would have a great deal of
yet to discover the trouble. I under
stand that many Of the saloons are 60
ing out of business. I rather suspected
that would develop.
81 have an opportunity of coming in
contact, with many classes and it seems
to be the opinion Of those, who should
know that the reason is that the closing
of the gambling houses and other places
has turned ;awayt from Minneapolis a
certain class ,5Wha spent their money
in the saloons. Minneapolis is the
gamer, as 1 have never found that that
class spends it's money for anything
that really improves the city. Many

make good workingmen, if they wished

ONE SCANDAL DOES NOT

"Life insurance is as necessary to
people generally as their daily brea d. I
cannot bring myself to believe that the
public is becoming skeptical over the
matter Of life insurance any more than
I believe that it would lose faith in the

some scandal in some national bank
There are enough good American COM

EXPLOITING %COLDFIELD.

At last the press of the entire country
has awakened to the greatness of Gold
field, and the interest hat is being taken
in the development of the mines of this
wonderfutdistrict. Correspondents here
are beseiged with Queries" for stories
of all kinds and have more than they
can do supplying the demand from out
side papers for news of the camp. Lead
ing dailies of the big cities that, a few
months ago, scarcely mentioned Gold
field unlees in a brief press dispatch re-
lating to some news incident, are now
either sending representatives here to
write feature stories on the district or
sending orders to correspondents here
for such articles, which they are pub
fishing in their Sunday supplements.
All OF this exploiting of Goldtield must
come rs a result of a general demand on
the part Of readers for all information
obtainable on this section, and this but
emphasizes the very wide interest taken
in the greatest gold camp ever known.
1t was not long since many mining mag
azines either ignored entirely the dis
trict or handled matter concerning it
with Indifference. Now these same
magazines are devoting pages to news
and illustrations of Goldfield and sur
rounding districts and gladly accept all
matter sent them. A number of big
dailies are publishing special Goldfeld
editions, giving pages to write ups and
illustrations. We have at last come into
our own in this particular, and it is but
fair that those papers which were first
to recognize the immense possibilities of
the camp should come in for their full
quota of appreciation for the inestima-
BILE benefits that have resulted from
their efforts during the months when
there was some uncertainty as to the
future. THE News claims IA prominent
place among these publications.
