CODDING is NAMED WARDEN
Former Prison Head Chosen by Gov
ernor Capper to Succeed Eotkin
at State Penitentiary.

]. K. Codding of Lansing, former
warden of the Kansas penitentiary,
has resumed his old job. He was ap
pointed by Governor Capper within
half an hour after the legislative com
mittee. which investigated the conduct
of Warden j. T. Botkin, reported it's
findings that Botkin should be dis
missed.
Coddine was appointed warden of
the prison by Governor Stubs almost
six years ago and resigned to allow
Botkin to take charge two years ago
in July. Botkin was notified of his
dismissal and the appointment of Cod
ding was made in the same mail.
The legislative committee did not
devote all of it's findings to Warden
Botkin. 1t made a few scathing re-
marks about the state board of cor
rections and said that the board had
not attended to its real duties. AS a
result of these findings Governor
Capper has announced that he had
sent out a call for the members of the
present board and would see to it that
the board paid particular attention to
it's duties and became a real asset to
the new warden instead of hind
rance as the old board had been to
Botkin.

of teams they will put out, it appears
that they will have home teams and
will play only Sunday baseball. Little
Falls fans do not seem to care for this
class Of baseball and were in the hopes
that these two cities would put fast
salaried teams in the field, there,y in
suring good baseball at a minimum
cost and more than one game per
week. In years gone by a home team
was very satisfactory in Little Falls
but the growth Of the city has brought
about demand for better baseh
This should also be true of St. Cloud
and Brainerd and other progressive
cities Of this section Of the state.

"bULBUL" WAS HUGE SUCCESS
OVER 1000 PEOPLE WITNESSED
HOME TALENT PRODUCTION
AT VICTOR THEATRE

"Bul-bul,' the comic operetta,
which was staged at the Victor thea
tre Friday and Saturday evenings and
Saturday afternoon, by local talent,
under the auspices of the Musical Art
club, was one of the best and most
successful of home talent plays that
has been put on in this city. All
members of the cast had their parts
thoroughly learned and the play went
through very smoothly. The attend
ance for the two evening performances
exceeded $50 people and more than
400 adults and children attended the
Saturday afternoon matinee, all Of
whom were highly pleased with the
performance.
| When the Musical Art club first de-
cided to put on the play, they feared
that they would be unable to secure
enough members for the cast, but this
turned out to be the least Of their
troubles, although they did have to
select some who were unframed. And
in these they say they discovered some
real actors, actresses, yea, even singers
with promising future.
Ernest Carlson as King Iamit, Miss
Laura Brannen as Princess Bul-bul,
his daughter, Inger johnson as Prince
Caspian, to whom NE princess was
betrothed, Mrs. Chas. Jensen as Lady
Ida, the Court Chaperon, Chester Tan
ner as Alain, friend to Prince Cas-
plan, Miss Elaine Ruth as Lila, Lady
Of the Court, Joseph Moeglein as Do
say, the Keeper of the Royal Specta-
cles and Louis Wright as the Keeper
of the Royal Cashbox, all enacted
their parts splendidly and brought
forth rounds of applause.
The other members Of the cast, rep
resenting the maids of honor, the ped
dlers, the ladies of the court, the oen-
tlemen Of the court and the house
maids, who appeared in the chorus
numbers and specialties, also did very
well. Probably the prettiest scenes in
the entire play were the dancing of
the old time minuet and the grand
march. The costumes were the source
of much praise and the stage settings
were beautiful.
To Miss Maude Girault Smalley, mu-
steal director, and Mrs. R. D. Musser,
who supervised the stage work, is due
much credit for the success Of the pro-
duction. Few Of the members Of the
cast had ever had previous experience
and the directors are to be compli-
menthd for their excellent work in
putting on the play. The work Of
Miss Noella Duc1os as riano accom-
panist was also very good. she acquit-
ting herself in a most creditable man.
ner.
Bastien's orchestra of nine pieces
played the overture for the play and
also several excellent selections dur
ing the evening.
The Musical Art club is highly
pleased with the success of the play,
both from the manner in which the
production was staged and financially.
The club netted more than $500 after
all expenses were paid.

CITY DADS HELD MEETING
PASSED STREET SPRINKIING OR
DINANCE AND GRANTED A
BUILDING PERMIT

The city council held a short regu-
lar adjourned meeting at the city hall
Monday evening, with the following
members present: Hall, Moeglein,
Murphy, johnson, Peterson, Blake and
Bell.
R. L. Palmer appeared before the
council and asked that Second street
northwest, between the l.. F. & D.
tracks and the N. ?. main line be fixed
up. He stated that the road is in
very bad condition, and that after a
rain the water remains in the road
for long time on account of its be-
ing graded too low. The matter was
left to the street committee with DOW
er to act.
The German American National
bank and John Vertin were granted
permits to erect a two-story brick
building on the lots adjoining the
German American National bank on
the west side.
company informed the council that
the company is ready to begin work
of laying the water mains on Second
avenue southeast, as ordered, but ask
ed the council to investigate as to the
advisability Of the improvement be-
fore the work was started. Mr.. Cor
don said that there is no property on
the proposed course of the main which
needs protection and it would only
mean a needless expense Of money.
The street committee will look into
the matter and report at the next
meeting.
Street sprinkling was taken up next.
City Attorney Cameron informed the
council that there was question as
to the regularity Of the proceedings Of
the sprinkling assessments under the
old system and that it might prove
hard to collect the assessments. He
presented an ordinance which, he said.
would make the assessments regular.
This ordinance fully designated the
territory to be sprinkled, giving the
boundaries, etc, and provided for a
superintendent Of inspection. Under
this ordinance the work would be paid
for on the area basis, instead of the
frontage. He stated that the ordinance
would mean a great deal more work
! +he city clerk and favored retain
ing the old ordinance as long as no
one makes any objections to the as
sessments. The old sprinkling ordi-
nance was therefore passed and res
olution passed fixing April % as the
dav for receiving bids for the contract
to sprinkle the streets, and authoriz-
ing the city clerk to advertise for
bids.

B0ARD OF PUBLIC WORKS

A meeting Of the board OF public
works was held Tuesday evening, but
on account of the absence of the city
clerk nothing was done and adjourn
ment was taken to 1880 this evening.
The members Of the board, S. c.
Vasaly, G. H. Enke and Jos. Masog
went over the ground for the proposed
sewer on Second street southeast yes,
terday afternoon to see what could
be done in regard to shortening it and
changing the course OF the proposed
outlet. The matter will likely be set
tied at the meeting this evening. Or
ganization will also be ~erfected.
