The Kendrick Family
In Chicago.

Probably few people who have given
up a home in Minneapolis did it more
unwillingly :tkan the family of J. w.
EKendrick, when Mr.. Kendrick s ap-
pointment as vicepresident Of the San
ia Fe railroad brought him here. But
Chicago has made complete conquest
of them all, and while they regard Min
neapolis with an affectionate interest
they have no desire to change their lot.
The. Hendricks have lived in one of the
handsome stone rows on Elm street,
Just few steps from the lake, of which
they have fine view, but they have
now bought for a home, new house
not yet completed at 400 North State
street, which is only few blocks dis
tant.
Miss Kendrick was graduated from
Ogontz two years ago and came out IN
the fall. She is secretary Of her Ogontz
class, and is busy this winter in issuing
the class book. This year Miss Helen,
the second daughter, entered Ogont2
taking her sisters place in the Fern
room coterie, one of which is Miss Cath,
crime Shull of Minneapolis. Carroll
the older son, is in Culver military
school in Indiana.

BEET INDUSTRY GROWS a
Great DEVELOPMENT sof New Agricul-
5\ turalf Pursuit in Sweden.

The great o,development Of the beet
growing industry in Sweden is attract.
ing attention among sugar producers all
over the world. It is calculated that
great advantage is gained the inhabi-:.
tants Of Sweden thru the development
of this industry by affording the I'M.
employed, tho perhaps only periodically,
the opportunityeof earning good wages
in the wedding and the gathering Of
the beet crop, besides other work con-
nected with the cultivation and in
dustry. It also affords an opportunity
for the poorer classes to develop an
industry, the only agricultural employ
ment in many parts Of Sweden which
will enable them to make any money.

Women Given Hope.

In the event that no candidate to the
second chamber has attained more than
one-half of all the votes cast another
election is to be held in three weeks
at which plurality will suffice. In:
cities having two or more election dis
tricts candidates may seek election in
any Of the districts, but elsewhere they
must reside in the districts they desire
to represent.
All parties have expressed sympathy
with the strong movement in charge Of
the women s suffrage association and
have intimated that their demands will
be recognized some day. On account
Of the determined opposition of the
conservative classes to any extension
Of the franchise no one is willing to
introduce the women's question at this
time, as the fight in the riksdag will be
a stiff one at the best and partial re-
form is better than none.

Special Correspondence of The Journal.

Special Correspondence of The journal.
- HICAGO, March 16.-This city is
a very proud Of Charles E. Russell,
~ and his striking series Of articles
entitled "Soldiers of the Common
Good now running in Everybody's s,
but Chicago is not entitled to any more
interest or pride in Mr.. Russell than
Minneapolis, altho this city has been
his most recent home. Mr.. Russell came
to Minneapolis as a younger newspaper
man nearly twenty years ago, and be-
came member of the editorial staff OF
TIL Journal. He was the son of
a veteran newspaper editor of Daven-
port, Iowa, and took naturally to the
business, developing rapidly, and be-
fore seeking a bigger field IN New York
had risen to the position Of managing
editor Of T h 9 ournal.
In New York Mr.. Russell continued
to mount, holding for long time Po-
sition as assistant managing editor OF
the Herald, preferring to remain in that
position, it is said, because Of the we'll
known insecurity of tenure of the high
est posts. Mr.. Russell was one Of the
early acquisitions Of the Hearst papers
in New York, and became their princi-
Pal eUltOI1dl "IItO1. AV N"S 'e' ~ ~
resentative of Mr. Hearst in the found
ing and management Of his papers here
that Mr.. Russell became citizen of
Chicago.
Mr.. Russell is man Of fine literary
tastes and ability, and is writer of pol
ished poetry as well as crisp and tell
ing prose. He had so prospered imam
cially that year or two ago he abn-
doned the field Of daily newspaperdom
for the less exacting and more congen1al
one of a special writer. He has secured
a country place not far from Ithaca,
where he has a son at Cornell, and it
is probable that he will make this his
principal home. He is now abroad
working on the Everybody's series,
which is the principal contribution that
magazine is making this year to the
cause Of combating the evils Of mon
,opoly. This is constructive in its pur-
pose, not destructive like the Lawson
articles, and Mr.. Russell's former great
series on the beef trust. 1t is study
of the various economic experiments
that have been and are being made in
ali parts of the world for improving
conditions of humanity.
AS Mr.. Russell has two sisters living
in Minneapolis, Mrs. j. N. Greer and
Mrs. f. C. Sammis, he is occasionally
visitor to the city, and keeps in touch
with few old associates.

jewel case Of Mrs. James G. Greenway,
niece of Andrew Carnegie, was robbed

reached this city. Having occasion to
open her jewel case, she discovered that
the gems were gone. Detectives were
put on the case and discovered that the
porter had been pawning valuable gems.
The negro was arrested but he has re-
fused to reveal the whereabouts of the
jewels. He says he stole the gems from
the case while Mrs. Greenway was
asleep in her berth.

More Charges Against
T. H. acQueary.

The position Of superintendent of
the Chicago parental school seems not
to be an eviable one. This week for
the second time this year the school
board is investigating charges that
have been made against T. HI. Mac
Queary. The first investigation came to
nothing, and it is expected the present
furry will follow the same course. IT
seems quite plain that Mr.. MacQueary
has enemies capable Of stirring up
trouble for him in the school board,
and the various kinds Of trouble they
have made during his incumbency in
the school has been rehearsed this week
as an argument for getting rid Of him.
The specific charges this time, and
it seems to be the first instance Of a
specific charge against the superintend-
ent personally, is that Mr.. MacQueary
has used coal, furnished by the school
to the amount Of $308.S4, and had only
paid $91.35 for it. Mr.. MacQueary ad-
mits the debt and in fact reported the
condition of affairs himself to the school
board, and asked to have the account
looked up that he might settle it. He
and his friends explain the circum-
stances as merely an instance Of the
neglect Of engineer and bookkeeper to
keep the account straight and present
it for payment. The coal as we'll as the
other supplies the superintendent draws
from thhe school stores, are issued to
him on acquisitions. II
Many of the old charges raked up
were complaints against arrangements
and conditions made by the board it.
self Emphasis is laid on the fact that
Mr.. MacQueary is. brother-in-law to
Graham Harris, president of the board,
at the time he was chosen for his pres
ent position, and that he was on/salary
for eighteen months before the school
opened. Both Of these circumstances
may reflect on the judgment Of the
school board of the time. but have
nothing to do with Mr.. MacQueary 8
qualifications to fill his position, nor with
the management of the school.
A scarlet fever case that broke out in
the school very recently, has caused
some excitement and some criticism of
the way it was managed, but the COM
plete freedom Of the school for three
years from epidenlics is a pretty good
guarantee that those things are han
died we'll, as insulated cases have not
been uncommon. 81 ID
