The engagement of a 'Bachelor's Honey moon." at the Metropolitan opera house, closes with two performances today, a popu lar price matinee this afternoon and the fare well performance tonight. It Is not a great play by any means, but it succeeds in the object for which it was constructed, to fur nish amusement for those who enjoy j. farce comedy. "The Sign of the Cross." Wilson Barretts rinarkable religious drama, will be the at traction all of next week at the Metropolitan. "The Geezer" is announced as the attrac tion at the Metropolitan for four nights and Saturday matinee, commencing tomorrow night. Donnelly and Girard, a pair of ceme dlans with an immense following in this city, are to be seen in the principal roles. The piece Is called a spectacular operetta, and is a travesty on "The Geisha." The scenes are laid In China and in Chinatown, Xew York city. • McFadden's How of Flats," as presented by Gus Hill's clever specialty company at the Grand this week, is a farce-comedy per formance of more than ordinary merit. The acrobatic specialty of Estelle Wellington and George Leslie ls a feature of the performance. Manager Augustus Pitou will present Joseph Arthur's latest romantic drama. "The Cherry Pickers," at tho Grand next week. It will be given with all the elaborate scenery, cos tumes, rich stage effects and all the favorites of the original cast of the Xew York produc tion. Bith Mr. Pitou and Mr. Arthur have every reason to be proud of "The Cherry Pickers." Outside of its money-making powc ers, and it was one of the best on the road last season, it is certainly the handsomest military production ever seen In this country. Seventh and Cedar Sts.

Thygason, Us attorneys. has flle-d with the clerk of the supreme court a petition for a reargument of the suit brought against it by the St. Paul National bank, which was dei:ided ln tho plaintiff's favor. Justice Mite-hell, while concurring in the decision generally, filed a separate opin ion, while Justice Canty dissented frcm the decision. The petitioners plead th it manifest error has been e-onimitted as follows: That the decision la based upon the fact that at or prior to the time the stock in question was pledged to the appellant, the rc-spondent made no claim of lien asrainst it, and that therefore the lien was waived, Which conclusion respondent respectfully sub mits Is unsound in law and contrary to the decisions of this court, and many other courts of last resort. That the proposition contained in said de cision and given as a reason and ground therefor, that if the respondent accepted the notes and mortgages in payment of the cap ital stock, it waived its lien on the stock is unsound In law and not applicable to this case. That the court's conclusion upon which said decialon is based, that the respondent parted "with its own securities In favor of the defendant without the slightest knowledge or suspicion tbat it was obtaining the stock of defendant, leaded down with a lien for Dorr's debts to it," is not only unsound in law, but is at variance with the actual knowledge which the appellant had of Dorr's indebtedness to respondent, and which actual knowledge is found by both this and the lower court to exist. There is error in said decision because the evidence shows that appellant voluntarily parted with Its security to Dorr, without con sultation or privity with respondent, or with out Imposing any condition upon Dorr or said respondent, and released its mortgages long prior to the issuance of the stock to Dorr, as well as to the pledging of It to the appellant. There is error ln said decision because the mere* silence of the respondent, when the appellant had both actual and constructive notice of the lien, cannot be construed as a waiver, and the conclusion of the court ln holding it to be such is unsound in law There- is error in said decision because the lower court found as a fact that respondent had not waived Its said lien, which finding is unexcepted to, and there being evidence to support such finding and no application having been made to annul the same it should be allowed to stand ln this court. In support of these contentions, the coun sel cite a number of cases, among them one so recent as tho one of Dorr against the Clearing company. Involving another turn in the same intricate tangle. The attorneys say "It seems manifest that the court over looked undisputed facts in deciding that the appellant took the stock "without the slightest knowledge or suspicion that it was obtain ing the stock of defendant loaded down with a lien for Dorr's lebts to It." The brief concludes: In conclusion we wish to say that this de cision, if allowed to stand, ls going to be very far-reaching and will necessarily ren der very uncertain that which has always been considered by the bar as certain. If an officer of a corporation, acting in his own interest, can make an arrangement with one of his creditors by which the corporate lien can be waived or rendered uncertain without any authority from the corporation and with out the by-laws giving him any such author ity so to do, there ls very little value left in the statute, and its object and purpose will be largely defeated. We beg to assure the court that we make this petition in no caviling spirit, but solely to protect the interests of our client to the fullest extent, as we deem it our bounden duty to do, and in the hope and firm belief that, upon further consideration of this case the court will see the correctness of our contention.

A couple of mysterious persons, John Dempsey and John Mc-Closkey. are locked up at tho central station on the charge of vagrency. While this is the only formal ac cusation against them, their arrest was In reality due to a sensational story of a murder committed near La Crosse Wis. Monday by two men alleged to> correspond to the description or the prisoners, which fact was comunicated to the police by some one connected with the Burlington railroad company. The stOTy was to the effect that Conductor Doody, of freight train No 39 had received a telegram from a station agent at South La Crosse informing him that two men had killed a third near that place and the supposed guilty persons had started for St. Paul on Doody's train. When this infor mation same to the ears of Officer Dave Hen nessey he went to the Burlington yards where he was Joined by Special Offlecr Shcehan who had also been apprised of the story and together they searched Doody's tralii when it reached the city, at 11 o'clock Dempsey and McCloskey. It is said, jumped from the train and ran at the approach of the policemen. Officer Hennessey gave chase, and after a run of nearly a mile, covered the two men with his revolver and brought them to a halt. Officer Hennessey marched tho prison ers up the track until he met Sheehan who serehed Dempsey and McCloskey, but no weapons were found in their possession. After the two men were safely lodged at the central station the police began to In vestigate the murder story, but very little substantiation beyond hearsay could be found None of he officials at the Burlington general offices knew of the reported murder and all that could be ascertained was that Conductor Doody was reported to have said that he received the telegram above referred to Doody could not be found and as nothing had been hoard from the La Crosse authorities at a late hour last evening, the local police are inclined to discredit the murder story.

REPUBIiIGftH BY TEH THE POLITICAL PLIM PATCH SO COVETED BY MAYOR DORAS. SURPRISE IN WATER BOARD. DEMOCRATIC HOTBED THAT HE PRATED ABOUT CONTAINS TWEN TY-SEVEX OF HIS PARTY. OXLY SEVENTEEN' DEMOCRATS. Engineer Rundlett'N Annual Report OU That Branch en' the City Government. The matter of fixing the salaries of the clerks and employes of the water board came up at a meeting of the commissioners held yesterday. Presi dent Bement stated that in his long ex perience on the board until within a short time ago the question of party ath'liation of the several employes had never been considered. The rule hael been that men long in the employ of the board and who were efficient were retained, ar.d for himself and some of the other members of the board he would say that the question of politics had never been mentioned. The secre tary of the board had preparetl a list showing the names, occupations, sal aries and date of employment or length of service of every man in tin employ of the beiard. At his request. Perry K. CHlfillan, one of the clerks of the board, had marked opposite the names of each of the employes the po litical party with which they rffiliated, and the result showed, according to Mr. Gilfillan's census, that there were sev enteen Democrats and twenty-seven Republicans. Mr. Bement then pre sented the following list, the letters in parenthesis showing the politics, fol lowed by the occupation, salary and date of appointment: C. M. Crowtey (!>.), chief clerk, $10-).

Commissioner Hudner said be had not received a copy of the list, but was Informed by Secretary Caulfield that a list had been mailed him at the same time as the other members of the board. Commissioner Hoyt sug gested that owing to Mr. Hudner not receiving a copy of the names the mat ter of selecting and fixing the salaries of the employes could be laid over un til a future meeting. Mr. Hudner Avas furnished with a list and each name was taken up separately and discussed and then the entire list approved. The only changes made was the dropping of F. E. Kenny, assistant engineer at the West Side pumping station, the increasing of the salary of George Doorley, meterman, $120 per year. The salary of Martin King, screen cleaner at McCarron's lake, was reduced $30, his salary during the six winter months being placed at $40 instead of $45 per month. The name of "Link" Hilderbrand was mentioned as succes sor to F. E. Kenny, but after some discussion the naming of an assistant engineer at the West side station was referred to Commissioner Wolterstorff and Chief Engineer Feist. The contract for furnishing 700 water meters was awarded to the Pittsburg Meter company. The aggregate amount involved ls about $5,000. The annual reports of the secretary and superintendent were received and will be considered at the next meeting of the board. City Engineer Rundlett, who is also engineer for the water board, submitted his annual report, of which the fol lowing Is an abstract. Under the head of future extensions the engineer says: By the erection of the pumping plant at Centerville lake, we are now able to utilize the water from Centerville lake and Peltier lake, which recieves tho drainage area, of by far the larger portion of the Rice lake system, including Hardwood creek and the outlet of Bald Eagle lake. To utilize these two lakes and the drainage area to the best advantage, I would recommend again that plans be prepared to cut off the rest of the Rice lake system by a dam between Peltier lake and Rice lake and that a dredge be bought and put in operation on Centerville and Peltier lakes to excavate a deep con nection between these lakes and to remove all the weeds and vegetable matter around the edges of the lakes and deepen them so as to prevent the growth of vegetation during warm weather. By making yearly appropria tions for this work we shall be able to got the lakes in proper condition! by the time it becomes necessary to draw "largely for our water supply, and after this Is done a proper connection can be made with Clear lake and Forest lake, so that the overflow from Forest lake can be brought down Into this system. I would further recommend that steps be taken at onco to condemn the land which may be necessary for carrying out these plana. The recent suits brought against the water board show that It win be necessary to go through the form of con- de-mnation even if the property about the j lake should be greatly benefited by the im- j proveruent. The water in Otter lake i 3 now under control of the water department and can be turned at any time into the Pleasant lako system by opening a gate. Bald Eagle lake is only separated from Otter lake by about 2.000 feet of low maj-shy .ground, which can easily be ditched. In fact, there was former ly a connection between these lakes which has grown up with weeds. I would recom mend that proper condemnation be made at once, so the control may be obtained of the overflow of Bald Hagle;pake. which now runs into the Rice lake "system. This sur plus water could then be turned into Pleas ant lake in the spring, when that lake is usually low. on account cf the draft made I on it for the watere-consifmption during the winter. It would not be: pecessary to draw down Bald Eagle lake below its normal con dition, but merely t<J>utiii_ie the surplus over flow which now goes in another direction. The foundation for the new 10,000.000 gal lon pumping engine at McCarron's lake are nearly completed, and it is expected that the machinery for the new pump will be gin to arrive about tho middle of January. IS9B. With the completion""of this engine, we s-iholl have a pumping capacity at McCar ron's lake of 20, 000.0*:* galldns per day. which ought to be, sufficient- for the next ten years, unless there should be a very large increase in the amount of e-bnsurhption. No long continued test of the Centerville lake artesian well system, whie-h was com pleted last year, has been made, for the reason that on account of the abundant sup ply in the Pieasant like system there has been no occasion to take water from tho Cm- j terville lake since the completion of tho j plant. Short tests have demonstrated that these wells may be expected to furnish about S.OfO.COO gallons per day. With the com pletion of these wells the erection of wooden conduits, an abundant sunnly of pure water I is see-ured to the city, sufficient for a uum- i bor of years. As to tho consumption of water, a compari son with the tablo of last year shows that the daily average of 7 322. £00 gallons is about 1.C00.000 gellons less than in ISM. This la i undoubtedly due to the fact that the ra'nfall \ during the- summer months was much larger and a much less amouut of water was used j for lawn and street sprinkling than the previous year. Several largo consumers have [ also dropped off. obtaining their supply from j artesian "-ells. The method of charging the consumer tsr \ the actual amount of wtiter us*d is becoming ! more and more prevalent in all large c'tus j and towns, and St. Paul has always be, o j in the front rank in adopting and encour- ! aging thi3 system and in making low rate -: for actual consumption. Wo have now in 9t. j Paul 2.298 mete-rs. of which 7.">2 were put in during the past season. The amount of water pumped at tho several stations was as follows: McCarron's lake station. 1.260.312.340 gallons: West St. Paul i station. ltt.olS.2os) gallons: Vadnais lake sta- I tion. _f10.299,cr>0 gallons. Tho total amount of precipitation at St. Paul for the year ending Dec. 31, 1897. was 30.52 inches. The contracts let during the year and the work e>f construction amounted to $35,446.41, of which £22.700 was for the 10.C03.000 gallon pumping engine at McCarron's lako. CHEIRO IS IN TOWN. The (ire-ill Palm Rentier at lhe Aber deen Hotel. Cbeiro, the palmist, rame to town yester day from Milwaukee, whore he has been laid up as tho result of an accident while- exer cising. He is eiuartered at the Aberdeen, I where his secretary, Dr. Cola, has also be;on j tho past week. Cheiro, whoso father was a Frenchman, ; tho Count de Hamong, and whoso mother i was a Greek, was born in England, and, I aside from the Grecian cast of countenance, | looks, talks and acts like' the Englishman. ; Upon his arrival In St. Paul ho took to his j rcom, but saw the newspaper men whe> called upon him. He 13 a young man for one who ; has earned the right to be called a savant, j and his easy, affable manner bespe-aks his | wide experience and brooding. His mother. he says, taught him to study the science which j had, during tho middle ages, fallen into dis repute through Charlatanism. His years of study have resulted In his mooting and read ing the palms of a host of famous people, and the gathering together of a large num ber of palm impressions of all sorts and kinds. His book of autographs contains tha names of noted people in tho world of art, science and literature, while the encomiums of prominent people with whom he has como in contact are contained in a volume, and comprise a most valuable treasure book. Cheiro's coming here has boon patiently awaited by a number of St. Paul people, for whom his secretary. Dr. Cola, has made busl noss appointments with the palmist. In the list are some vtt the foremost people of the place who will .nfold their palms to tho good-looking visitor for news of their characteristics, as shown therein. Monday evening Choiro will deliver what he calls an educational lecture on hands, when he will go into the history of tho study and the med ical and scientific reasons for its support. Certainly ne>t the least interesting feature of his talk will be the introduction of Prof. d'Odiardi's machine for the registration of cerebral force without bodily contact. This sort of thought photography, although that term hardly expresses the idea, proves most interesting, when clearly exemplified, and Cheiro displays charts showing the results of experiments with such men as Cladstone and others. The lecture ls to be at the Peo ple's church. PROIIinS IX THE FIELD. Central Club Decides Upon an Ag. Rrosslve Campaign.

SILVER LOVING GUP AND A GOLD WATCH PRESENTED LAST NIGHT TO MAJ. C. H. WHIPPLE. SONS OF COLONIAL WARRIORS PAY A TRIBUTE TO THEIR AFFEC TION FOR THE DEPARTING PAYMASTER. MAJ. TUCKER'S CHARMING HOME Is the Scene of a Pleasant Incident and a Very Pleasant Gath ering. The residence of Maj. William T. Tucker. 312 Summit avenue, was the scene last night of a happy gathering nf about thirty members of the Society of Colonial Wars in the state of Min nesota. The occasion of this little gathering was the presentation to Maj. Charles H. Whipple, assistant paymas ter of the army, stationed at St. Paul, of a few teikens of esteem upon his de parture to the Pacific coast. Maj. Whipple has been for the past four years assistant paymaster with Maj. Tucker, and has now been promoter! to be chief paymaster of the army. with headquarters in Portland, and will leave for that point eon Thursday next. The promotion is considered in army circles as being very compli mentary, and the tender is a material recognition eif the major's ability anel worth. So it was te> do honor to the event that these thirty or more of the members of the society met at Maj. Tucker's spacious residence last even ing to bid farewell in a substantial manner to one of its principal mem bers. George H. Daggett, of Minneapeilis, the state treasurer of the society, who is an adept in the art of making pres entatiein speeches, was there to act in that capacity, and when the- little as sembly had gathered in Maj. Tucker's large music room Mr. Daggett, looking at Maj. Whipple, delivered the follow ir" T short aelelress: In the good old days of yore they sometimes attempted Jokes. Rooks, they declare, built their nests ejf two kinds of sticks,— straight ones and crooked ones. Married— Mrs. Math she va Jones, after a weary and disconsolate widowhood of six winters days, and this culls to my mind the fact that tho business which we now have on hand is no joke. That. In deed, of saying farpv.-ell to a friend. It Is a very pleasing thought to me, and I am sure it must be to you also, that an honest friend ship never dies. It may have its meetings anei Its partings. Up band-rlasps and its fare wells: such, indeed, is ever the lot of friend ship here on e-arth, but its springs are in tha human heart, like a delicate and subtle per fume it pervades its innermost recesses, and will ever bless our lives like a benediction. Two ane-ieut and venerable men pa3s by. Their silvery locks, their bowed and bending forms, their trembling steps indicate all to well that the paths which lay behind th-'in were long and nigged, and those before were but a step. And as I saw them making their affectionate adieus. I felt that I had never seen a more beautiful picture We hear so much of the friendship of women, of that of man for woman, and of woman for man, but how seldom of that of man for man? And s) we have gathered here tonight to give em phasis to that friendship of man, to give expression, if you please, to our friendllne-ss, nay, to our affection, for one whom we delight to honor, as a friend. Moj. Whipole, stantl forth! The major stepped forward, and Mr. Dag gett, proceeding, said: It has been said. I know not how truly, that time is made for slaves, but we. your friends, who now surround you, have determined to Ignore that ancient and bald-headed saw, for we feel that you should not be allowed to withdraw from among us without taking with you some tangible expression of our sincere esteem for one whose universal courte sy,whose kindness anel thoughtfulness for oth ers, and whose persistent effeirts in behalf of this society hns endearenl himself so much to us. and they have honored me with the request that I present to you this slight token of their regard for you as a man and a gen tleman, and with it the wish that it may tick off for you and yours the moments of a hap py, comfortable and prosperous future, and that, as you gaze upon its face from day to day, you may see thereon a composite picture of these, whose hands you must now take, perhaps for the last time. And they have also requested me to present to you this cup, this loving cup, with the added wish that it may be to you as the widow's cruse— a never-failing source of comfort, and as you gaze down into its bright and laughing depths remember that those separated from you, twice a thousand miles, whenever we shall gather around our festive board we shall ever drink in spirit and in truth, drink from the full ness of the cup, drink in the fullness of our hearts to your good health, and, though land and mountain divide us, you shall never be so far away but that, with memory's loving senses, we shall hear your voice and walk by your side. God bless you. Mr. Daggett then handed the beautiful rifts to Maj. W'hipple, who was deeply impressed with the surroundings of the occasion, and after a moment or two of silence, made the following reply: There are times when words seem to fail to express the language of the heart, and it seems almo.t impossible to find words to express my feelings, but I think you will pardon me, for this kind expression and for the sentiments that go with the present" and I can assure you, every one of you,' that the memory of the givers will ever be green in my heart. You have praised m" too much for my work. It would not have been possible to accomplish, what little I have done, had it not been for the co-operation of the officers and members of this society and I can say that the Minnesota society ranks today as one of the first In tho United States. I thank you heartily for thesa beau tiful tokens, not forgetting my appreciation of the kindness of Maj. and Mrs. Tucker and as I stand here thinking what to say a little incident occurs to my mind, that hap pened in Wyoming, at tho Shoshone agenev i'djointing Post Washington. During Gen' Grant's presidency he purchased a handsome bridle and saddle and sent it out to the pest to be presented to Chief Washakie who had been loyal to the whites at all times and had done them much service which came to the attention of President Grant. The com manding officer thought that he would make an occasion of ceremony, and had the troops all drawn up. The presentation sp»p C h was made and the bridle and saddle delivered to the old chief. Ha received them and looked them over earfully. Tears soon came to his eyes, and the silence becoming embar rassing, the commanding officer asked him If he had no message for the great father The old chief replied that when a white man feels anything he feels it in his head and he talked with his tongue; when an Indian feels anything, he feels It in his heart and r.vf, . he ,?- rt , h ?? no ton S ue - I am like the Chief Washakie, my heart has no tongue. Dr. Chamberlain then proposed that the cup be filled, and after this was done, each one drank to the health of the departing major. The cup, which was presented, was of solid silver, of an unusually handsome design. Several in scriptions of artistic workmanship grac ed the exterior, among which was the following in-c:i;ction: "Presented to Maj Charles Henry Whipple. U. S. A., Jan. 25, 1898, by friends in the Society of Colonial Wars, in the state of Minne sota, as a slight testimonial of their ap preciation of his untiring devotion and valuable services rendered to the so ciety." On another side is the coat of arms of the Society of Colonial Wars eif the state of Minnesota, and a fac simile of the insignia of the general so ciety. The watch which bore the major's monogram on the back of the case, was an open face, with fine Swiss movement and of great value. The same Inscrip tion as on the cup was inside the cover. After the presentation the gentlemen repaired to Maj. Tucker's den, which had been artistically fitted up by' Mrs. Tucker, with rugs and curtains from many countries, as well as a number of old Navajoe blankets taken from the major's collection. At 10 o'clock sup per was served in the large dining room and at 11:30 the party left, after friend ly handshakes with Maj. Whipple and the well wishes of the members of the society for a successful career as chief paymaster of the army for the depart ment of the Columbia. Maj. Whipple will leave Thursday next for Portland, and will be Joined by his family a month later.

HOUSES REQ,I ESTED TO CLOSE. An Event Which Furnished Ktiod for Conversation in St. Paul Yesterday. The "French hal masciue," given by "a certain three." at Mozart hall, a re port of which appeared in the G lobe of yesterday, continued for several hours after the morning papers w. in to press amid a higher degree of revelry than marked the earlier part of the evening. Along toward 4 o'clock the company pres?nted a decidedly "mus3y" apper.rance and the congeniality b.came more unrestrained. Perched upon a table or occupying two chairs, with feel elevated, ttie women drank deeper and deeper, while some () f their male companions drifted from the gay scene in uneasy slumber, induced by an over estimated capacity for the refreshments of the evening. Occasionally some of the women or a man and his tipsy com panion would engage in an Ul-humored conversation, which threatened to cul minate in a fisticuff. The large number of policemen present, however, kept the ocmpany fairly under control, and when a fight seemrd In sight the officers sim ply separated the belligerents and hus tled them out of the building. As day light began to streak the eastern hori zon, the orchestra played, no one knew just why, "Home Sweet Home," and the hackmen began piloting very much intoxicated women and weak-kneed men to waiting carriages. The ball was yesterday a topic of general conversation in public quarters, for many officials attended the affair, and much comment was heard of May or Doran's course in giving the ball his official sanction. For such an affair to have been surreptitiously arranged, it was held, was bad enough, but that it should have received the official sanc tion of the city's chief executive, it was remarked, was to be sadly deprecated. Without Mayor Doran's permission, through the columns of the administra tion's evening paper, it was comment ed, many persons would have remained away from the ball. The mayor's course licensed the affair and insured the public that there was no danger of police interference and consequent possible undesirable notoriety. But ln the general strictures some delved deeper into the conditions un der which the ball was given and inti mated that the securing of Mj^yor Doran's sanction was a snap affair. It was a matter of general knowledge for weeks that the ball was to take place,. The police all knew it. This being" the case ft was asked why Mayor Doran had not passed upon the matter before the evening of the event. Why had Chief Gloss waited until the last moment to inform the mayor of the proposed event, and why shouldn't he have acted in the matter himself? Has Mayor Doran got a chief of police who cannot regulate even the question of holding a ball without placing th-> mayor in the position where he must take all the blame? These were som:; of the questions people asked each other. Anent the closing of all of the ques tionable resorts for the ball it was marveled that the proprietors of these places who are obliged to pay a fine of $100 a month and $200 or $;100 a month rent could have been induced to close up for the whole night. It was generally conceded that none of the "certain three" promoters of the ball possessed sufficient influence to force the inmates of these places to attend the affair and to expend their money so lavishly. It was learned yesterday that the landlords of some of the resorts had "requested" them to attend the ball. Why they should make such requests nobody could fig ure out. CITY HALL TALK. Will the Mayor Reappoint Anthony Yoer_ f Anthony Yoerg's term as a member of the school board expires March 1. Mayor Doran does not like Mr. Yoerg politically, or especially personally, but Mr. Yoerg has been a valiant fighter for the Humboldt school ln the mid3t of its many vicissitudes, and the mayor's neighbors, regardless of politics, are in clined to be friendly to their represen tative for that reason. Some of thehi, Indeed, have suggested to the mayor that it would not be a bad idea to re appoint Mr. Yoerg, Inasmuch as the office pays no salary and will probably not create any serious clamor among the hungry Republicans. This is not strictly logical, however, as the board has the gift of a number of salaried offices, and Democratic votes are not really wanted on it at this time. Besides, Mr. Yoerg has not been guarded at all in his strictures on the mayor's policy, especially along lines akin to the work of the board, or, per haps more properly, antagonizing the sentiments of the board at times, and his caustic comments on the mayor's deeds and motives have not been of a Uxor to inspire Mr. Doran with any- thing like a high respect for the sug gestions of his neighbors. Still hi not like being put in the position ot slapping in the face the institution where his neighbors have to send theli sons and daughters to school and he would be delighted if he had some I lausible excuse for reappointing Mr i erg. It may be confidently looked to, how ever, thai Mr. i'oerg will not be r ap pointed. Some other West s'.di r may be, bul even that is not certain as y< t. Ona thing is certain, however, and that la •hat the new heard will be so framed as to secure tin- ousting of Suj • m • nd ent of Buildings Gerlack. and the re storation to that offic ■ iperin- Icr.dent Robertson, who wenl oui a lit tle over two years ago. Som ■ other chang. s are hint- <l at a!s >. Mayor Doran at the same time will be called upon to appoint two other members of the school board. Those retiring are L. I>. Wilkes and .1. w. i.. Corning. The hist mentioned was ap point* d to fill nul th,. unexpln d term nt Gustave Scholle, while Mr. Wilk.-s like .Mr. roerg has served Hire,- years on lhe hoar. l. Mr. Wilkes does not e\ pect to he reappointed and it is safe to presume that Mayor Doran will not surprise him. Mr. Corning, it is said, will 1.,- reappointed providing he will agree to vote for a new man to suc ceed Secretary Healy. C. F. Mahler is mentioned as probable successor t<i Mr. VVilkes and tin- Sixth war. l has half a dozen candidates for Mr. Yoerg's place. ♦ * * Aid. Lindahl has announced that he will not be a candidate for alderman from the First ward at the coming election. This action was made pub lic hy a 1 tt r written to Pity Clerk Jen sen in which Aid. Lindahl among othei things says: "I am not ;i candidate foi re election and will not under any cir cumstances accept tin- nomination it it is tendered to me. I have been a member of th.- city council for the past four years and that is as long as I can afford to work for the city for noth ing. When my presi nt term expires 1 shall retire with th,- satisfaction of having at all times to the besl of my ability performed my duty as a public official." This decision on the pari of Aid. L'ndahl will pi ase nt least a half doz n citizens of the ward who are anxious to represent the banner Republican ward in the council. As a nomination on the Republican ticket virtually means an election the race for th: prize will be warmly contested. One of the leading politicians of th" ward stated last evening that it was too early to even guess as to who would be successful ln seeming tin- nomina tion. There was phuty of good timber to select from and oik- thing was cer tain that the candidate would be a Scandinavian. VETERAN IS AT REST. Ilenrj- <'. Garrey '■ Funeral Wan II<»ld Yesterday.
