GRANT CIGARETTE LICENSE
City Engineer Instructed to Estimate
Cost Of Grading Mississippi
and Irvine Avenues.
FOR BEMIDJ1 AVENUE
Petition Granted Asking Sanitary
Sewerage on Several Streets
Adverties For Bids.

Little business of Importance was
transacted by the council last evening
at their regular meeting. Bids were
opened for storm sewers which are
to be installed in the blocks which
are to be paved during the next two
weeks. Louis Eckstrum was awarded
the bid over Herb Doran, there being
only two bids presented.
Water pipes and sewerage will also
be laid on Bemidji avenue before the
paving as that block is, entirely with
out water at the present time. Al
though this may delay the paving for
several days it will be much more
convenient to do the work now than
after the cement is laid. -~:
City Engineer Swinson was also
instructed to furnish the council an
estimate of the cost of grading streets
between Mississippi and Irvine ave-
nues but it is<probable that this work
will be delayed for some time as the
funds for this purpose are extremely
low. - I
Two petitions were presented by
residents on Bemidji and Beltrami
avenue asking the council for sani-
tary sewerage on these avenues above
/ Eleventh street. Both petitions were
granted and bids will be advertised
for to complete this week. !. - =.
A cigarette license was, granted to
George Abrahamson, who runs a
small confectionery store on Third
street. A few other small business
matters were discussed including the
fire dock, poor farm, cement work,
vault in city hall, and many other
minor jobs about the city.
No action was taken in regard to
the gas franchise as no representative
was present and the proposition was
not mentioned.

ROAD DAY.. NOTHING DOING
Council Makes No Provision Concern
ing Highways.

Good Roads day was a subject
which was entirely forgotten by the
city council last evening and from
the amount of interest shown about
the city it appears that the Automo-
bile and Commercial clubs also forgot
that today was the good roads day
which many local men have been ag-
itating for some time past. Several
suggestions were made during the
past month as to the amount of work
to be done and as to who was to dc
it but that was as far as the matter
was carried.

One of the burglars was Frank
Kinney; the other man known
to the police only as "The Kid"
The police of Cleveland comb
ed the city for the two men. On
the night of February 4, they
surrounded the house in which
Kinney, 'The Kid" and Nellie
Sullivan lived. All three were in
the house at the time.
But before the police could
close in, Kinney was warned of
their approach. He and "The
Kid and the woman escaped
through a maze of back alleys.
Kinney and his sweetheart
came to Chicago and went to live
at a hotel at 81 Wells street.
After a day or so, Nellie Sulli-
van remembered that one of her
old school chums had married a
man named Frank Mcdonald and
moved to Chicago.
She discovered that Frank Nc
Donald lived at 2245 West Su-
perior street, called there and
found that Mrs. Mcdonald was
indeed her old friend.
She paid several calls on Mrs.
Mcdonald. She told where she
lived. She gossiped. She finally
told about the hair-raising es-
cape of herself and her sweetheart
from the police of Cleveland.
Mrs. Mcdonald told her hus-
band about this. Her husband

ing out of the Desplaines street

lie Sullivan and her sweetheart,
Frank Kinney, we're arrested in
their room at 521 Wells street
and held for the murder of Ralph
Byrns.
Kinney was quite cool when ar
rested. He is SIS years old, but
does not look more than IS. He
has a strong, evil face. Nellie
Sullivan says he is a master
crook.
Kinney was questioned by Po-
lice Captain Meagher. He denied
everything.
The police then went to work
on the woman, and gradually, I'M
der a steady stream of questions,
she broke down.
"We came from Cleveland"
was the way she first told the
story. Frank Kinney is my
sweetheart. On February 2, he
went out about I p. m. with "The
Kid" They came back about 10
O'Clock, and both seemed excited.
Frank told me they had COM
mitted burglary"
Later, under more questioning,
she told the police that a pair of
cuff links, proceeds of the bur
glary, could be found in a hair
pin box in a house in Cleveland.
Capt. Meagher wired this in
formation to Cleveland. The
house was searched. The cuff
links were found. They were
gold, and bore the initials of
Ralph Byrns.

But a Mere Youth

Delbert Walthers, the young man
who is being held on suspicion of
having attempted to wreck a 500 line
passenger train at North St Paul
recently, is but mere youth, says
the Chippewa Herald. His father was
discharged from work by the 500 line
at the time of the American Railway
Union strike about twenty years ago
and since that time has been unable
to secure employment with that
road Brooding over this is supposed
to have brought a feeling of intense
hatred toward the 500 in the boy
and his attempt to wreck the train
was no doubt prompted by revenge.
He admitted carrying a revolver and
switch key but only the gun was
found on his person, the key having
been thrown away. Detectives are
said to be still working on the case
and more arrests may be made.

Just Little About Alfalfa

Alfalfa is a plant that needs at
tention until it gets a good start
then it becomes one of the strong
est plants known to that kingdom.
See to it that it is started right.
Alfalfa will not stand "cold feet. y
This is important and he who desre-
CARDS the facts is likely to lose his
efforts. Another important fact is
that there must be few or. no weeds
while the alfalfa is in it's infancy
Good drainage and proper planting
are probably the two most important
matters in starting an alfalfa plot.
See to them.
Alfalfa will not do we'll on acid
soils and a certain percentage OF
acidity will utterly defeat it, Lime in
some form is cure for this trouble
where it prevails, and the addition
al value of alfalfa over other hay
will in a season pay for the treat
ment Be sure about this. 1t is easy
to determine acidity.
Alfalfa demands certain bacteria
to supply the extra amount of nitro
gen which it consumes. This is plain
when it is known that during a sea-
son alfalfa will consume four or five
times as much nitrogen as clover and
UNNECESSARILY more than any other
grass. See to it that the soil is Well
supplied with manure containing a
high per centage of nitrogen that will
supply the demand while the nitro
gen-supplying bacteria are multiply
ing (they double in number each 20
minutes) and many a crop will be
saved.
Under no circumstances start with
out inoculating the plot with soil
from an established field.
A seasons cutting of a. tons per
acre is worth six or seven tons of
clover for stock feed-or more than
ten tons OF timothy

State Publicity and State Profit

/
! With millions of acres of undevel-
oped lands, with other undeveloped
resources that when developed will
! be assessable for hundreds of mil
lions, and with millions of money
leaving the state as we'll as the loss
! of thousands of people annually, it
would appear that Wisconsin is as
much in need of state publicity as
any other state in the Union. Yet
there are those who oppose such pub
licity.
A careful estimate reveals the fact
that more than 100000 of Milwau-
kee money has, within recent years,
been invested in western and south
ern projects-much Of it lost. What
the total for the state is, no one is
willing to estimate, but is is many
millions.
Again, thousands of people have
| left the state for the one reason that
they did not know of the opportuni-
/
that the lands of the upper portion
of the state produced more bushels
of every farm crop than the average
of the United States and that the
average of all the ordinary farm
crops was bushels per acre great
er in the upper Wisconsin counties
| no nf n
try In the decade between 1900 and
1910 millions of acres were settled in
the west that do not show half the
yield of the upper Wisconsin coun-
ties.
And during this time Wisconsin
spent only $1,000 to keep it's people
informed, while other states were
spending many times that amount.
A tax of one-half of one per cent
on the money that has left the state
in ten years would maintain the state
board of immigration for many years.
And the same tax on the money it
would bring into the state, If it were
property financed, would take care
of the board for many years more.
Publicity is the order of the day, and
| the state that neglects this matter
| is sure to lose.
The state board of immigration has
done much for the older portion of
the state one OF it's chief efforts be-
ing to place before the world the seed
grains that are bringing the farmers
handsome returns. To illustrate this:
H. E. Kruger, member of the as
sembly recently sold the crop from
IS acres of oats for $4,000, after saw
ing 80 bushels for seed. This seed
trade is now adding hundreds of
thousands of dollars to the farm in
come of the state. The work of the
state board of immigration can be
made as wide as human genius can
cover, and all that is needed is SUI
ficient funds with which to carry on
the work
