country carrying mails had robbed the
people out of $7O.O00,OOo was made in
the house of Representatives by Mr..

He declared that new system, for
weighing mails was the admission of

been fraudulent. He called for an in

One Who MAS There: The young
people of the German Evangelical
church gave very pleasant surprise
to Christ Vesperman at his home on
Sixth street Monday evening, the
occasion being Mr.. Vesperman's
birthday. They had a grand time,
which was also greatly enjoyed by
Mr.. Vesperman, as he was reminded
of his young days by the good cheer
of the young people. A number of
songs, dialogues and recitations
We're rendered and delicious refresh
ments were served. The evening
will long be remembered as most
enjoyable one by those present.
Harry Larson: I have received a
circular letter from ]. w. Shoemak
er, the secretary of the Eighth
United States civil service district,
with headquarters at st. Paul in
which he states that stenographers
and typewriters are badly wanted in
the service. The date of examina-
ton as to ability will be March 81,
and the department is bending ev-
cry effort toward securing enough
applicants for these jobs. The
hours of employment are usually
from 9 to 4:3O o'clock, with thirty
days leave of absence per year on
full pay, which ranges from $40 to
$1,000 per annum, although the
greater majority of appointments
are made at 5000. In the Isthmian
canal service the appointments are
made at $1,000, while in the Philip
pines they are made at from $1,000
to $1,400. While the great demand
is for males, at the same time there
are greater opportunities for females
to secure appointments through this
examination than any other open to
them.
The Onlooker: Some OF us who
like to stand at one side and view the
passing show are wondering by what
authority one of the old timers of
the city took one of the aldermen
up onto thigh mountain and
pointed out in the maze of twelve
months distance, the mayors job
and offered it to said poor alderman
in consideration of his vote against
allowing the people to vote on the
proposition to bond the city for a
city hall. Is the position of mayor
thing which can be carried around
in the vest pocket to be brought out
at stated periods to dazzle the eyes
of officials? And wherefore all this
secret buttonholing; these instruc-
lions that it was not necessary to
state any reason for voting against
such proposition, but to sjust vote
her down and say nothin? p" Would
it not be better to come out in the
open and discuss this important
matter so all could listen to the
words of wisdom from the gray hairs
of the chieftains? The subject is
susceptible of argument from both
sides and no man need be ashamed
Of his views on such an issue. Let
us have done with this back alley
way of doing things. We have had
it going on for thirty years and have
nothing in the way of public i'm
proyements to show for it. 1t is GER
tainly time to try and open and frank
way of conducting the city's bust
ness. The people at large have a
right to vote on this city hall bond
ing issue and it is not for the six
aldermen and three private citizens
to put up job to prevent free
oynroccion IN the s,,hioct

SAAS
notice received today from the state
land department, no farm lands will
be granted this year. I make this
statement for the sake of heading
OF any contemplated expense items
OF farmers and other members of
the board of appraisers.
Merchant: In my opinion the six
members of the city council who,
without advancing any substantial
reasons for their action, made mis-
take in refusing to give the people
an opportunity to express their wish
es on the city hall bonding propo-
sition. There is every evidence that
very large majority of the taxpay-
ers of the city favored the issuance
of the bonds and it looks to me that
the six aldermen mentioned presnm-
ed a heap when they put their per-
sonaI desires and interests against
the people of the city. The whole
fashioned petty grating system
which has made the city notorious.
G. M. Dahl: I am sorry the city
council, or at least a majority of it,
saw fit to refuse to place the bond
ing proposition before the taxpayers
Of the city. I believe in public i'm
provements of this character and al
SO that we will never be able to Sc
cure them unless we bond ourselves
for them. If we try the plan of
waiting until we have the money in
the treasury we will never see the
day when anything can be accomp-
1ished in such matters, for such a
proposition has never been known,
it being almost a practical impos-
sibility to acquire public buildings
in that way. I am in favor of a
good city hall and am willing, if
necessary to stand my share OF the
extra cost entailed, but all the cost
will be so small that none of us will
feel it.
An Economist: I wonder If it
has occurred to the city fathers that
Bakers hall can be rented for SO
night or Maennercfor hall for IS
per. In the first instance three and
a half meetings month-heat fur
nisned-and in the second, seven
meetings a month heat also fur
nished-could be held for the same
price the city is now paying for the
room rented Illegally from one of
the aldermen. These alderman who
are looking so carefully after the
finances of the city and refused to
give us chance to vie for or against
a city hall we would be proud
