NEWS OF THE CITY WHEELMEN WILL REPAIR CYCLE PATHS Contract to Be Let to Associa tion and Price of Tags Re duced to 50 Cents. "With bicycle tags at 50 cents the Asscm lated Wheelmen will assure this board of a larger revenue than if the i c were $1 and will guarantee to that revenue and put the cycle paths of the county in better condi tion than they were last year, and in good enough condition to satisfy a large majority of the wheelmen." This declaration was made yester day by "William Johnson, president of the Associated Wheelmen, at the special meeting of the county com missioners held to consider the ques tion of cycle paths and the charges against members of the side path com mission. And the Associated Wheelmen will be given an opportunity to make good. Arrangements were made whereby the organization is to be given the contract to put and keep the paths in order for the coming season. The members of the side path com mon were all present at this meet-, ing and the Associated Wheelmen were largely represented. Although most of the time everybody talked at once and at cross purposes, the discussion clear ed the atmosphere to some extent and the side path commission and the wheelmen have come to some sort of understanding in which the county commissioners participate. The charges referred against Messrs. W. H. S. Wright, J. W. Taylor and A. M. Pea body, as members of the side path com mission, have been tentatively with drawn. Board Hears Both Sides. When the meeting opened the county commissioners announced themselves as ready to hear both sides of the story, and J. W. Taylor spoke first on behalf of the side path commission. He saia that there are 110 miles of cycle paths in this county and it will cost $4J".<">o or $5,000 a year to keep them in proper order. Other members ojf the board spoke to the same effect. T. L. Bird spoke on the part of the wheelmen, and said that he had ridden 3,000 miles last season. Almost ev erywhere he went he saw men loafing In the woods when they were supposed to be at work on the cycle paths. He said that the Lexington avenue path was In very bad condition, and he knew of ruts and holes that had been allow _ed to remain for two weeks or more " after they had been reported to the side-path commission. He said that he did not believe that there were six hours' work done on the Cleveland path in the whole season. H. Olen said that the Kohlman lake path was impassable most of the sea son, and C. S. Distler complained of the condition of the Lake Johanna path. Grant Spicer said that there were 20.000 riders in the county and most of them would buy tags at a reasonable price. On motion of County Commissioner Powers the board voted to request the eide-path commission to accept the proposition made on behalf of the As sociated Wheelmen by President John- Bon, of that organization. Mr. Johnson said that he could furnish as large bonds as would be necessary as surety that the agreement would be carried out. The members of the side-path com- [t's a story of ten years' steady, natural, inevitable growth.

It was then agreed that the prioe of tags should be reduced to 50 cents. At this Juncture W. H. S. Wright, of the side-path commission, asked: "What about the charges against us?" and H. P. Keller, as attorney for the wheelmen, said he was perfectly willing to withdraw the petition for the removal of Messrs. Wright, Pea body and Taylor from the side-path commission. "That is fine Justification for such a commission," said Mr. Peabody.

Thursday Mr. Trout received several bunches of bananas and yesterday aft ternoon, while several customers were In the store, mostly women, one of the women going up to the particular bunch saw the big spider and gave a scream.

SEEDING IS UNDER WAY IN NORTH DAKOTA Editor H.""fc. Plumley Sounds Praises of the Flickertail State. Seeding is under way in some places in North Dakota, according to H. C. Plum ley, the Fargo editor, and president of the North Star Daily Press association, who was in St. Paul yesterday. "On the high and lighter soil the farm ers are busy with their drills." he said. "But on the heavier soil in the valley little, if anything, has been done towards putting in the crop. I believe the area of wheat In the Red River valley will be I as large as usual, for it not only raises ! the best wheat in the world, but more of j the grain to the acre.* On the lighter j soil the farmers are diversifying and nearly two hundred creameries are pro fitably operated throughout the state. Collections in the counties where crops have been somewhat short for years as compared with the returns in the valley are better than ever before, and I am in clined to assign the improved conditions to the diversity that has taken place in crops and the dairy interests. "North Dakota is steadily improving in every material line, and it is the best state in the Union. If anyone doubts he has only to ask any man from the Flick ertaii state and he can confirm my state ment."

FULLERTON FINDS PERCH IN MEAT SHOP Charles Eisenmenger Is Held to Grand Jury and Furnishes Bail. Charles Eisenmenger, the Wabasha street meat dealer, must face the grand jury and undergo a formal trial in the district court for having had fifteen perch in his possession when S. F. Fullerton, of the state game and fish commission, happened along. Judge Hine yesterday held Eisenmenger to the grand jury. Perch are a small fish and the fifteen seized in the aggregate make a small pile, but if there is a conviction the minimum fine is $10 for each fish. The total of the possible fine is therefore $150, which makes it necessary that the guilt of the accused be passed upon in the district court. Eisenmenger appeared before Judge Hine yesterday, and through his attor ney, Stan Donnelly, waived examina tion and gave bail for his future ap pearance. MAN HAS A RIGHT TO GO HOME AT 2 A. M.

DRILLS ARE AT WORK ON THE MESABA RANGE Evidence Abundant That the Mining Sea- sen Will Be Active. Special to The Globe. TWO HARBORS, Minn., April 22.— Whatever might have been the intentions of the United States Steel corporation and other companies regarding the resump tion, of work to its full capacity this year on the ranges it is doubtful whether' the weather would have permitted the open ing of the season at anything like an early date. But preparations are in evi dence of the resumption of work on all of the stripping contracts. E. J. Long year, the mining drill contractor, has twenty-six drills at work on the Mesaba range. He says: "Drilling for iron ore will be more ac tive this year than many had supposed would be the ca^e several months aga. There is still a great deal of drilling to be done on the Mesaba. notwithstanding re ports that the territory is fully explored. Not only Is there new ground that has never been gone over, which will ulti mately be given attention, but there is some territory where recent work indi cates that the drilling was not thoroughly done in the first place, and it may pay to do it over again." There are a number of drills at work on the Vermilion range, and. according to present reports, a number of additional drills may soon be at work in that dis trict- CAPTURED AFTER LONG CHASE AT NIGHT Noted Character In Wisconsin Confesses Having Appropriated a Horse.

Johnson, former su perintendent of the poor, tried to explain "raised" bills, fraudulent entries in books and countless irregularities by saying he did it all under orders from Johnson, broke down yesterday and admitted his own guilt. He declared that he was an accomplice of Johnson in wholesale attempts to make money out of the poor department, and that all his previous testimony on vi tal points was evasive and untrue. The change of heart on the witness' part produced a profound sensation in court, particularly when Brown explained his relationship with Johnson in^the al leged graft arrangement. "I had a talk with Johnstm," he said, "and he told me the expense he had been to as one of the bondsmen for Dr. Ames, ex-mayor. He also summed up the cost of his first trial and said he must get the money back some way. He suggested a scheme of padding grocery bills, he to pad the Scofield & Allen bill and I could do the same for the Steffel bill." As a sample of the rotten condition of things obtaining in the department, Brown said, regarding one bill: "Johnson said to me. 'Charlie, here's a chance to put $H> on this bill.' I looked at it and saw that the prefixing of a 'one' was easy, and so I put it on." The trial will probably continue today and tomorrow. CENSURED FOR BEATING HIS BOY.
