They Are Not Cioln» to Tell the Pa per* Anything. the Ramsey County Medial society last night discussed certain strictures p«wed upon the secretary of the asso ciation. With reference to his having given out programmes of society meet ings to the prcs-n. After some debate the society went on record with a vote that no more informa tion is to be given the press, except at the president's discretion. The members present shrunk with hor ror from the idea of giving out the sub- Mance of profound discus«l.jns of bones and tissues to the cold comment of an Unfeeling public, and the atmosphere, so far as it concerned (be papers, was dis tinctly chilly. The society transacted little business and the subjects presented treated of nervous diseases. m IN-.si Photo* on ICnrth. Cieo.

Each of the certificates were sep arate ami were signed by James C. Michael, as chairman and presiding of ficer, and James R. Hlekey, as secretary. The certificates were drawn in the fol lowing form, the first one being for Rob- , crt A. Smith for mayor: • We, James C. Michael, as chairman and presiding officer, and James R. Hickey, as secretary, do, and each of us hereby does., certify that a duly called, elected and qualified assembly and con vention of delegates of the Democratic party of and In said city of St. Paul, Ramsey county, Minn., which duly repre sented said party in said city was duly organized and held in Sherman hall, In said city, pursuant to the call therefor, on the 24th day of March, 1900, for the nomination of candidates for the offices to be tilled by election and voted for and elected at the city election in said city appointed to be held May 1, 1900.

Dated at St. Paul, March 21. 1900. Signed James C. Michael, as chairman and pre siding officer of said convention. Signed James. R. Tlickey, as secretary of said convention." * • • The other certificates filed were similar in form to the one setting forth the nomi nation of Robert A. Smith for mayor, and showed that the convention had also nominated the following candidates for offices: John Rogers Jr., of 594 Olive street, for comptroller. Otto Bremer, of 738 East Fourth street, for treasuicr. Thomas J. I.<ordan, of 957 Edgerton Street; George Michelson. of 127 East Third street; Philip Martin, of 309 North Smith avenue; Winn Powers, of 420 North Fairviow avenue; Henry G. Haas, of 739 St. Peter street; Edward H. Whtteomb, of 513 Martin street; David F. Peebles, Dayton and Virginia avenues; Jchn J. Parker, of 11 Summit court, and John G. Wardoli, of Gl East FlHmore avenue, as assemblymen. The sum of $C 0 was paid for the filing of the certificates, and they were accepted by City Clerk Jensen, after a consulta tion with the corporation attorney. The nominees for the other places en the Democratic ticket, th« certificates for whi 'h vvn- :> i riled, are requested to communicate at once with Chairman Michael at once at his office, 620 Manhat tan building, in order that proper filing may be made. * • • The Sixth Ward Democratic City and County organization met last evening in the office of Judge Joseph Smith, corner South Robert and Congress streets, and elected the following officers: Chairman, Charles McDonald; vice chairman, F. A. -Kamman; secretary, M. J. Moran; treas urer, H. J. Peters. These officers ar c elected for two years. * * * j The precinct chairmen of the Demo cratic City and County organization for the Fourth ward met last night at the rooms of the Jefferson club, and elected J. B. Covlngton, chairman; H. O. Doolit tle, secretary, and Archie McLeod. treas urer. The organization plans a vigorous campaign, and expects to roll up an old time Democratic majority in the ward. * • * There is likely to b e a lively time at the city convention of the People's party tonight. The primaries were held ' last night at the residences of the precinct commltteemen and delegates elected, and. it is likely that the schemers who have been planning to sell the organization out to the Republican auxiliaries will find that they reckoned without their host. The voters of the party declared for a ticket of their own, and no fusion, al though in some cases individuals not members of the party may be indorsed. * * • The Colored Citizens' Union of the Fourth Ward will meet this evening at the rooms of the Maceo club.

You could not have chosen a more acceptable birthday present. 1 am sure that none of you entertain a higher opinion of or greater esteem for Gov. Lind than I do. I knew him in congress when lvo was a Republican, and I respected him as an bonest man, although we differed upon many questions. 1 appreciate his high motives and his patriotism. You may bo in)crested in knowing that T had the pic ture hung in the hall where the silver Republicans met in convention yesterday and called their attention to the fact that ii had just been received from the reform leaders of Minnesota. I assured them that the silver Republicans would have accomplished much if they had not done any more than give to us two men like Lind and Towne in one state, but, as a matter of fact, they have given us many strong, intelligent and sincere men who are a great source of strength in the con test now on between Democracy and plu | tocraey.

The street force is being augmented at the rate of 100 per day and the slight fall of snow which fell Sunday night was hail ed with joy by the Kiefer adjutants, who saw a chance to put on an extra 100 men or so at work. It is estimated that by Wednesday noon at least 600 men can be hired at $1.50 per day to attend the cau cuses and vote for Kiefer delegates. Or ders have been~"glven for the men who are working teams to be on hand prompt ly at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon and convey squads of the street and sewer forces to the polling places in the First, Second and Eighth wards. By fast driv ing from one primary to another it is expected that 600 men. will be able to vote at least three tiroes between 5 and 7 o'clock. While President Ames, of the board of public works, meets all comers at the Kiefer headquarters, the mayor is closet ed at his office in the city hall with the more prominent leaders of the party. Sec retary Hammer informs those who call that the mayor is not in, but can be found at his headquarters in the Endicott building. This information, however, is only for the rank and file of the party, the leaders, if recognized by the secre tary, being ushered into the mayor's pri mal p jwnrlbr. Mayor Kiefer telephoned for Commissioner Donahower, of the water board, yesterday afternoon to report at once at his office, md a minute later <?ont word for Harris Richardson. The two leaders of the party were closeted with the mayor for a couple of hours, and it was after 6 o'clock before the con ference was over. Harris Richardson is to bring down the Seventh ward for Kiefer, and Maj. Donaho'wer has pledged himself to do the same in the Fourth ward. • • * If the body of a well dressed man is found on the street any morning between now and Thursday with his head beaten partly off, the police can ask Chester R. Smith, one of the Republican candidates, as to his whereabouts. Mr. Smith is a member of the charter commission, and at the session last evening he devoted about all his time to watching the door of the council chamber, as if expecting the appearance of an agent for an install ment book firm. One of his colleagues noticed his actions and inquired what was the matter. "For the last ten days," replied Mr. Smith, "I have been shadowed by a de tective. The fellow has made life almost unbearable. He meets me when I leave home in the morning and does not quit me until I close the door of my house at night. If he comes up here this evening, I am going to beat his head off. I would ask somebody to take the follow off my trail, but if I did this another one would only be put on, and that would be worse than ever, for I have the present shadower spotted, and it would take me a day or so to get acquainted with the new one." Mr. Smith was not obliged to do any slugging during the meeting of the char ter commission, but he kept an eye on the door all the session waiting for hia shadow to put in an appearance. Asked as to his changes in the convention, Mr. Smith, in a confidential whisper, replied: "The only one I have to beat Is the Dutchman." Whether me meant KiefeT or Schiffmann, the Eighth ward candi date did not say. but presumably he had the present executive in mind. • • • Col. Sam Lowensteln and Building In spector Haas made a bet of $30 yester day afternoon. The stakes were not stage money either, but cold hard cash. Col. Lowenstein borrowed his Hhare of the bet from Register of Deeds Krah mer. Just where Building Inspector Haas made his touch is a mystery, but it is safe to say that Comptroller McCardy was not "It." Haas will take the money wagered If he and two others win out In the primaries in the Fifth precinct of the Third ward Wednesday night, and if he don't Col. Lowpnstein wl!l be able to settle with Krahmer and have $30 vel vet to do business with in the conven tion. • • * The Second ward last night returned the following delegates to the People's party city convention tonight: First pre cinct, Ed Miller; Second precinct, John Stapleton: Third-precinct, J. P. Kelley; Fourth, J. H. Johnson; Fifth, O. B. Wergedahl; Slxthi P. J. Francois; Sev enth, R. P. Starkly; Eighth. Coleman O'Halloan: Eleventh, Joseph McGurk. The list, as 'above published, shows up a little "more c.f tho scheming" of the Scan nell ousttt. Ocanrieil, who hoped to be nomlr.iited for alderman from his ward, reported l-'rhlay rrlght that Wergdal had been ele< ted to represent the Fifth pre cinct of the Second ward in the Demo cratic city convention. This, however,wa« without Wet gf 'rial's con— nl, he being a Populist, as fnurit as it was without the knowledge of a number of Democrats in the precinct. • » • • Much enthusiasm was manifested at the organization df ttie Fourth Ward Inde pendent Demc-crats club, at Pfeifer's hall. Eighth and Wabasha streets, last even ing. Nearly 100 Democrats of the ward were present and perfected the following organization: President, J. W. Enrlght; vice presi dent, M. J. Lynch; secretary, John Ryan; sergeant-at-arms, M. J. Hoffman. Considerable discussion as to the ap proaching campaign was Indulged In, but the dub took im> positive action except to go on record to work zealously for the siu.ce.--s of Robert A. Smith and the Dem ocratic ticket ■IJIiS II SEVERAL SECTIONS ADOPTED, MAINLY RBUkTZVO TO BOARD OP PIBLIC Uiiltws IMPROVE TAX ASSESSMENTS One of the Important Auiendmt ntx Adopted In to Prevent the In dlKorlinlnate Tearing Up «,r the Paved Streets. President Flandrau and Commissioner* Smith, Zimmerman, Doran, Albrecht, Taylor and Fetter attended the charter commission meeting la»t evening. The chapter on local assessments was umended so as to provide that the board shall notify by mall owners and agents of property ten days prior to a hearing on any proposed Improvement. The names of the owner* to be taken from the books of the city treasurer. If such notice Is not given and the failure so to do Is will ful It shall constitute misconduct in of- I Hce and be ground for removal of any j member participating in such misconduct j by a two-thirds vote of the members-elect of the common council. Another amend ment allowed property owners to con struct, relay or repair any sidewalk at their own expense, providing notice was filed with commissioner of public works within ten days after the passage of the final order by the council. If the owner did not have the work done within thirty days then the city contractor is to do the work, and the property assessed for the cost. Another amendment was adopted which will put a stop to the indiscriminate tear ing up of the paved streets. It provides for application to the commissioner of public works when any excavation is to be made and the making of an estimate as to the cost and expense of the same. The person or corporation making ap plication is to give a bond In double the amount of the estimate or a cash deposit or certified check equal to the estimated amount to comply with all requirements, and put the street back In as good order as before. A section was reported, but laid over for a larger attendance of members, which provides that when any assess ment for a public improvement exceeds 23 per cent of the assessed value of the property then the board of public works shall report this fact to the council, and such excess shall be paid from the gen eral fund. Chapters on health department, plat commission und contracts and contrac tors' bonds were adopted. The changes In the three chapters were not material from the present charter. The chapter on general tax laws and assessments was also adopted. The particular change in the chapter was the provision making the president of the common council, mayor and county auditor the trio of officials to elect the city and county assessor. The chapters to be repotted on and con sidered are public finances, including tax levy, certificates of Indebtedness, salaries and public buildings. These will be handed in at the meeting Wednesday night. The revision committee, which consists of all the lawyers on the commission, will meet at 10 o'clock this morning at the office of Carl Taylor and commence its labors. WILL OPEN AT CAPITOL AN Nl A L MEETING OF A NCI EXT ORDKR UNITED WORKMEN. Yesterday the janitors at the state capl tol were busy throughout the day arrang ing the senate chamber and representa tive hall for the opening today of the an nual meeting of tho state grand lodge Ancient Order of United Workmen. It will continue three days. It is expected that the attendance will run in the neigh borhood of 500. The senate chamber will be occupied by the grand lodge Degree of Honor, ladies' auxiliary to the work men, while the hall of representatives will be given over to the latter. Of the officers, Grand Master Workman J. M. Diment, ot Owatonna, Grand Re corder Oiaf Olson, of Willmar, and Grand Receiver J. J. McCardy, of thi* city, will probably be re-elected. The annual con vention of the Degree of Honor, the wom an's auxiliary of the organization, will be held Tuesday. David Ramaley, publisher of tha G:de, the official organ of the order, some time ago started an argument in favor of bien nial sessions, and the proposition will be discussed more or less at the coming ses sion. The tenth annual session of the Minne sota Grand Council of !he Royal Ar canum wlil open tomorrow In Elks' hall, Lowry Arcade. The attendance at the meeting is expected to be about 100.
