OLD TIME NOISE MAKER HOLDS
Its POPULARITY. s,
The Tendency This Year Is to Lower
Prices for Celebration Material Des-
pite the Fact That the Supply Is Said
to Be Short Novelties in Paper.

Styles in noise machines and fire.
works for the Fourth have not changed
much since last year. Whereas in coats
for men the style demands great length
and no vent in opposition to two vents
last year, and princess and short
sleeved gowns are a change over the
fashions for women last year, the good
remains as the backbone of designs for
frecrackers and fireworks for 1906.
The only noticeable difference is an ad-
dition to the list Of novelties.
Young boys will still discharge the
nine-inch dynamite crackers and the
fresh blOods, with plenty of money and
disregard for the feelings of others,
will make the usual salute of twelve
inch gun cotton crackers, but the limb
destroying cannon has seen it's day and
is tabooed by custom, as well as the
cheap blank cartride pistol, whose COM
bination Of copper cartride and burnt
powder produced lockjaw.
Noise Sticks Cheaper.
The cartridge cane is going to be the
style this year for the lazy celebra.
tionists. It will sell for 5 cents in
stead Of 10, will be lighter, repeater
made Of malleable iron instead of cast
metal. and on the WHOLE will be a
safer machine, with just as much

MORGUE DECLARED
EXPENSIVE LUXURY
CORONER AND COUNTY ATToR-
NEY DISCUSS ITS MERITS.
County Is Taxed to Support Institution
They Say, Which Takes Business
from UndertakerG and Serves No
Good Purpose-Chicago Gets Along
| Without Morgue.

"Why should .Hennepin county pay
$4,000 a year for the maintenance OF a
morghe and a morgue4keeper, when his
work could and should be done by local
undertakers absolutely without cost to
the couhty?'~
This pertinent question is asked by
Coroner j. N. Kistler. HIS theory has
been put into effect in Chicago and
many other of the large cities of the
country, and has been found feasible.
1t is backed up by County Attorney
Smith, who said today that the main
tenance Of morgue is an absolutely
unnecessary expense and should be
done away with. ,r-
Morgue Is Luxury.
81 can see no use of having O
morgue,'' said the coroner Yesterday.
"a morgue- keeper is an unnecessary
luxury If, following the Chicago plan,
we should designate an undertaken, in
each section of the city to take care
of the bodies now taken to the morgue
the work would be done as promptly,
as well, and without one cent expense
to the county. The undertakers would
take the bodies and if they were not
claimed, and the expenses of burial
paid by the relatives they would sell
them to the state university or to
Hamline university for $50 or $25 as
provided in the new code. I cannot see
why the county should pay the state s
expenses, as we are doing now by
keeping morgue and giving the bod
les to the universities for So each,
when they should be paying undertake
ers 500 and $50 for them. -.
Several other officials and public
| spirited citizens have become interested
in this matter and there is move.
ment on foot to do away with the
morgue and thus save the taxpayers Of
the county considerable sum each
year. -. "

REPORT SHORTAGE
OF 1000, 900 FEET
CRUISERS LOCATE BIG DIsCREP-
ANUY IN TIMBER SETTLEMENT
Rescale of Three Sections as Reported
to Timber Board Today Means &c.,
900 to the State Lumber Company
Already Being Sued. on Account OF
Same Tracts.

Reports were fled with the state tim
Der board today, showing a shortage of
100000 feet in the original scale Of
three sections in Itasca county, cut by
the Backus-B Brooks Lumber, company.
AS result of the rescale, which was ac-
cepted by the board, the suit of the
state against this company. now pend
ing, will be amended to ask for larger
amount. r@'~%
These three sections were the ones
cut after expiration Of the permits, and
on which the old timber board made
settlement at the permit price with
8 per cent interest. The authorities
now hold that this settlement was void
and that the lumber company must pay
for the timber at trespass rates. A
bill to legalize the old settlement was
offered in the legislature last winter, but
was defeated. The company offered to
the difference between the original pay
ment and the double damages in, escrow,
subject to ratification by the legisla-
ture. They would not pay the money
into the state treasury because there
was no way of recovering it if the set
tlemen was repudiated. by the legisla-
ture. So the attorney general brought
suit, and the case is still pending, wait
ing the supreme court g decision on the
CreSpaSS law In Cne SneVlln-CarpenCer
case.
What Rescale Disclosed.
Reports reached the timber. board
that some Of the timber on these three
sections was not found by the sur-
veyor general. A rescale was made
which showed quite a discrepancy, SO
another rescale was ordered in legal
form. Andrew Mylese and Thomas
Fitzgerald cruisers in the state land
| department., with O.. ". Stephens and
A.. H. Long, deputy surveyor generals
in the Duluth district, made this re-
scale, and agreed op the report made
| today. It shows as follows:
Section 16-62-23, original settlement
| 2,317,570 feet; final rescale, 4,039, 12(
feet; excess, 1,721 $50 feet
Section 35-62.23, original, 1,001,6S(
feet; rescale. l,023,520; excess, $40
Section 36-62-23. orr ginal, 1858, 64(
feet; rescale, 2,164,s50 feet; excess
1910 feet.
The total excess is 2,054,6o0 feet
The permit price was 81 a thousand
and figuring double damages for tres
pass, the rescale means an addition o:
$4,000 to the amount sued for by tn,
state in the action now pending.

the Kansas side, where the prohibition

the closing was the result Of Governor
