From Fridays Daily.
Commissioners Humiston and
Lamm returned this noon from Min
neapOlis, where they went to try to
find an experienced man to oversee
the laying of the creOsoted blocks,
and who would know whether the
city was getting the blocks called
for in the specifications After
much difficulty they succeeded in
finding the proper man. and about
the only man in the twin cities who
does understand the work. This man
is George Baxter. He has had a
great deal of experience laying this
kind of pavement and understands
the concrete foundation work and
also the placing of the sand cushion
between the concrete and the blocks.
The placing of this is one of the
most important parts of the work, as
upon this depends what kind of a
surface the pavement has. He un-
derstands testing and laying blocks.
High-Prced Man.
Mr. Baxter wanted $500 to come
for two months, but an arrangement
was finally made with him whereby
he is to be paid $3.50 for the two
to protect the city's interests in every
way. Assistant City Engineer Dutton
and Street Engineer Durgin of Min
neapolis recommended him highly.
He will arrive so as to be ready for
work Monday morning. He recently
ran for alderman, but was defeated
by a certain clique, he said.
The paving contractors, the North
Star Concrete company, expects to
commence the laying of the creo-
soted blocks Tuesday morning, and
expects to have the first of the pave
ment ready to be opened for traffic
by Thursday of next week. The
company has secured the services of
four experienced block layers, who
will be here ready to begin work
Tuesday morning.
Concrete Laying Resumed.
The concrete laying was resumed
this morning, the places of the
strikers being temporarily filled with
men from other parts of the work,
and the concreting of the first block
was completed early this afternoon.
The laying of the concrete goes like
clockwork.
Some Americans are expected
from Fort Dodge tomorrow to do the
concreting. They are men who
worked for the firm in it's paving
work there. Eighteen Bulgarians
from the twin cities were expected
this noon, but did mot arrive. If they
come later they will be put to work,
for the firm needs a lot more men,
but it has been anxious to hire local
men if it could do so, as they are
generally more steady.

st. Paul, July 24.-Ralph w. Wheel
lock, private secretary to Governor A.
| o. Eberhart. who appears as com
plainant in the investigation of Su-
perintendent f. A. Whittier of the
Red Wing training school, may be
called as witness by the defense.
Frank M. Wilson of Red Wing, at.
| torney for Mr.. Whittier, has given
| it out that he wants to know the mo-
tive behind the investigation, and
that he intends to call Mr. Wheelock
and ask him some questions about
the complaint.
Wheelock as Complainant.
Secretary Wheelock appears as
complainant in lieu of A. ID. Stephens
| of CrOokSton, who started the legis-
lative investigation last winter by
making his charges of cruelty toward
| boy inmates of the school. Cover
nor EberEart took an active interest
in the case and sought legal warrant
for removing Whittier, but was adj
vised that he had not the power.
Thereafter Mr.. Wheelock filed the
complaint. He has taken no part
| in the investigation, and the use of
his name was merely q formality in
order to get formal charges made.
Mr.. Wilson, if he summons him,
! will ask him his reasons for filing
f; the complaint; will want to know
whom he talked with about it, and
will try to develop his theory that
the prosecution of Whittier is a
political move.
Will Move for Dismissal.
Mr. Wilson also has served notice
on members Of the board of control
| that he will move for dismissal of
| the case when r.. P. SanbOrn, at
torney for Mr. Wheelock, has rested
his side. He will make the motion
usually made by an attorney for the
defendant in a criminal trial, that
the case be dismissed without the
presenting of any evidence for the
defense. If this motion is denied,
as it probably will be, then several
days will be consumed in sessions
at Red Wing, where most of the wit
nesses live who will be called in be-
half of Whittier.
Hearings will be resumed next
Thursday.
Mr.. Wheelock has expressed his
willingness to act the role Of wit
ness and tell all he knows why the
Investigation was instituted.

John Olsen Ulvin died at $3.50
o'clock last night at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. William B. Hall, in
Mankato township, of cancer of the
stomach, after an illness of several
months. He was not obliged to take
to his bed until little over two
weeks ago, since which time he rap
idly failed until the end came and
relieved him of the intense suffering.
The deceased was born in Norway
eighty-four years ago the fourteenth
day of last January, and at the age
of twenty-three he came to America
and located in Portage City, Wis,
where he worked at the shoemaker's
trade for about seven years. At the
end of that time he married Anna
K. Nicholson and moved to Arkdale,
Adams county, Wis, where he resid-
ed for nineteen years. In 1876 he
and his family moved to Blue Earth
county, Mimi, locating in DecOria
township, where he resided on his
farm until four years ago last winter
when his wife died. Since that time
he made his home with different
ones of his children.
Three sons and four daughters are
left to mourn the loss of dear
and loving father. Oliver and Oscar
of Mankato, Peter of Anoka county,
Mrs Goodson of Minneapolis, Mrs.
Ballard Of Great Falls, Mont, Mrs.
A. E. Hall of Decoria and Mrs. Will
liam B. Hall of Mankato township.
The deceased was man of strict
honesty and possessed many friends
who will mourn the loss of kind
and honorable neighbor. He was a
member of the Norwegian Trinity
church and faithful follower of his
Lord and Savior. He has gone ON to
that, beautiful land which knows no
suffering, there to meet his loving
wife to dwell in joy and happiness
forever more.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon. At one o'clock short SER
! vices will be held at the residence
of William B. Hall. The remains
will be taken to the Lutheran church
at the Iron Bridge in Decoria and at
2:30 Rev. J. H. Brono will preach
the funeral sermon.

Contrasts

X was generally remarked by thos4
who knew the two Burson brothers
that they were strangely unlike in er
cry way.
Charlie Burson would devote hours
OF serious thought to the disposition ni
button on the tail Of coat, the
height of a collar or the color OF a
neSktie. Whenever he appeared In
public he seemed to have Just escaped
from the hands of a valet. At such
times a speck of dust would complete
ly spoil the day for him.
Anthony Burson, on the other hand,
seemed tC regard clothes as a neces-
sary evil and anything in the way OF
garments suited him. He would have
been just as happy in Ill fitting ready
made clothes as in the best suit OF the
best tailor In town. Charlie could
tuJn a pretty compliment and save q
situation. while Anthony might be
counted on invariably to say the
wrong thing, and to say it awkwardly
CSnversationally, Anthony was about
as agile as a hippopotamus.
Charlie could dodge an issue and
thus make friends. while Anthony had
an uncompromising way of hurting
out the plain truth, thus reducing PEG
Pile to a state where they could have
slain him joyously: in short, Anthony
WAS totally devoid Of social graces
but his eyes met yours clearly ane
firmly.
