There is already some talk of opposing Allison's re-election, but the re publican party of lowa is not looking for a chance to tear itself in two by throwing down Allison if h© wants another term in the senate." Thus said George S. Sardam of Clinton, lowa, one of the prominent lumbermen, of the eastern section of lowa. , Mr. Sardam has been • located at Clinton for twenty-three years. He has watched with interest the politics of his own state and also that of Ilinois. *-- "Governor Shaw is popular in eastern and central lowa," continued Mr. Sardam. "It would please the state to see him named for vice president .and such recog nition is no more than the state deserves after its almost unswerving loyalty to the J republican cause. While the governor has | made such an official as to be entitled to ! a third term, many of his close friends believe that such is not his program." EARLY ST. PAUL SETTLER GONE.

A CLASH POSSIBLE Park Board and Committee of the Council OVER BATHHOUSE LOCATION j The Question of Who Shall Expend ■ the Money to Come Up-1 : .; . - Also. : The council committee on public grounds and buildings and the park board are to meet Monday and try to agree on a plan for expending the $5,000 appropriated last fall by the board of tax levy for the con struction of municipal bathhouses. There are those among the friends of the bathhouse project who claim to see signs of a clash over the questions as to who shall direct the expenditure of the money and where and how it shall be ex pended. The city council started the movement for improved bath-house facilities in Min neapolis last summer by adopting a reso lution urging the board of tax levy to include in the 1901 appropriations $2,500 for new bath-houses at Lake Calhoun. This set some of the East Side folk to thinking, and they came before the board of tax levy and insisted that $2,600 be set aside also for bath-houses on 'the river. The board consented to both propositions, and the appropriation stands at $5,000. Now no definite arrangements was made with the park board as to where the houses should be placed, but the understanding has been all along that they would be built on park property at the lake and on the river. It was also understood that the park board would gladly give the city council the privilege of directing the construction of the bathhouses, as it is not intended that the houses to bo erected at this time shall be anything more than temporary af fairs. It is the city's money that is to build them, and it was only natural that the city council should have the spending of it. It seems now, however, that some of the members of the park board have a differ ent idea of the matter. They take it, they say, that the council is going to turn this money over to them and that they are to erect the bath houses and control their operation. The park board, it will be remembered, appropriated $5,000 for bathhouses two or three years ago, and then used the money for ether purposes. Some of the aldermen haven't forgotten that incident, and they now declare that if there is a single cent of the present bathhouse appropriation expended this year, it will be under the direction of the council and not the park board, and if tha board can't agree to that, they will vote to let the money re vert to the permanent improvement fund. The probable program at Monday's meeting will be to refer the matter of the selection of sites and other matters in this connection to a joint committee of the board and the council. Presumably the new houses at Lake Calhoun will occupy the sites of the old houses. Chair man Peterson of the public grounds and buildings committee thinks that one of the river houses should be located just below Riverside park. Alderman Chatfield, who was among those most interested in the bathhouse project, will insist that at least one be located on the East Side, and he would prefer two for that side of the river, one above Cen tral avenue, the other below the Wash ington avenue bridge. GOODNOW'S WESLEY LECTURE It Is Listened To by a Large Au dience. John Goodnow spoke before a large au dience at Wesley church last night and received a flattering reception. He touched but lightly on the subject of international politics, but confined himself largely to a recital of the daily life of the foreign colony at Shanghai, the manners and customs of the natives, some of his own experiences, and in conclusion said some splendid words for the work and de votion of the missionaries. He was especially emphatic in correcting the world wide impression that much of the country is involved in the present dif ficulties. The trouble is wholly confined to three provinces. Everywhere else in all that vast domain there is peace and contentment and law and order, with all foreigners as secure in the possession of life and property as if at home. There was a mistaken idea, too, regarding the personal qualities of the Chinese. He had found them fine fellows in the main, the better element corresponding to our better elements in this country, educated, cultured, fair-minded and companionable. The Chinese exclusion act cuts no figure whatever in China, he said. The United States could pass a dozen such aots and nobody in China would care a whit. The great drawback to the development of any strong national feeling in China, as well as to its material advancement, is the great diversity of language. There is so little intercourse between the people of the different provinces and cities that in the course of centuries each has developed its own provincial language. The missionaries are all right, Mr. Goodnow declared. He went to China im bued with much of the current skepticism regarding the practicability of their work, but it did not take him long to learn that the missionaries were a very earnest and devoted lot of people and were doing a splendid work in China. Mr. Goodnow will leave to-night for New York. He will return to Minneapolis In about a week and will remain here for two weeks before leaving for his post at Shanghai. TOLD AT THE INNS "If northern Minnesota had no other re source it rovld still be given a good place in the estimation of people in view of the fact that it lias many spots that are ideal summer resorts," said G. J. Norby of De troit. "Dakota people promise to come to Detroit in Etili larger numbers this coming summer and since the Duluth line of the Great Northern was constructed, Bemidji and Cass Lake have been doing a good sum mer business. I see that Senator Daly has a new way of collecting taxes on stored whsat. I am not an elevator man but I do not consider it right to force the collection of taxes upon the owner of the warehouse." The jobbers of the twin cities are pre paring for the reception of a large number of visiting merchants from the Storm Lake extension of the St. Louis road next Wednes day. The Storm Lake extension was built a year ago and the territory has been the scene of want commercial competition. Just a Word or Two. J. B. Dority of Harlem, Mont., who was taken ill at the Beaufort and later moved to St. Barnabas hospital, has recovered. F. I. Stokes, owner of a stock farm near Grand Forks, is in the city. J. C. Rhodes of Stillwater is at the Nic ollet. E. R. Sundberg and P. A. McNaughton are here from Walker. W. J. Tousley and N. M. Woolley of How ard Lake are at the St. James. A. E. Clark of Redwood Falls is here on a business mission. Marshall McClure, editor of the Minot Op tir, is at the Xicoilet. Mr. McClure uses | lignite coal and politics as his text. E. W. Bowler, the Olivia, Minn., merchant, is in the city. C. J. Pryor, who edits a newspaper at Glen coe, is here buying more material for his plant. John D. Benton, the North Dakota politi cian and a candidate on the democratic ticket for congress in 3894, is at the West. P. W. Myron of Abercrombie, N. D., is in the city. He says that the burned section of the town will be rebuilt. J. H. McCoy, attorney, of Aberdeen, is at the St. James. POLICE WANT "DOC" KENNEDY. The police of St. Paul are looking-for "Doc" Kennedy, who is wanted in connection with the death of tbe newsboy Albert Rosen. It is claimed that Kennedy was in tbe buggy with Miller at the time that the newsboy was ■ run down. Miller is under arrest, but Ken nedy cannot be found. SAVE MONEY BY WAITING THE ADVICE OF ICE MAX DWVEV Ice Cutters W ill Soon Desert Cnl lioun for Other Lakes on HailroatlM. If the residents about Lake Calhoun who are agitating for an end of the ice cut ting on that lake would consult Iceman James Dwyer they might learn something that would tend to give them a more philosophical view of the situation. Ice man Dwyer insists that they are making a lot of trouble for themselves quite needlessly. Even admitting that the level of the lake is lowered apparently by the cutting of ice, why kick up a row"over it and run up a big bill of expenses in the courts when by keeping still for a few years the cause of the trouble will have disappeared. Irrespective of any action by the pro testing residents it will be but a few short years, the aldermanic iceman says, when the natural development of the ice cutting industry will drive all the Minneapolis companies to seek the country lakes. "I am now cutting my ice from lakes along the railroad lines back in the country," said he, "and, mark what I say, you will •find that before long all the lakes in the city limits where ice is now being cut will be deserted and the companies getting all their supplies from points a good many miles outside. It Doesn't Pay. To say nothing of the superior character of the outside ice, icemen are waking up to the fact that there is no economic ad vantage in getting their supply from lakes in the city. It is a long and expensive haul from Calhoun or Cedar lake, and the wear and tear on the horses and wagons is im mense, not to speak of the time consumed in the haul. Investigation will show that as against the company getting its ice via the rail roads from some lake back in the country the local hou^s will work under a seri ous handicap. By getting his ice from the country the iceman can have it brought to convenient distributing points in the city, thus minimizing the expense of de livery, the one big item in the conduct of an ice business. Every year from now on will see more and more of the ice used in Minneapolis coming from outside points, and the com pany that delays action the longest will get the worst of it. This has been the experience of other cities, and it will be the same here. So I would advise the Lake Oalhoun people to wait a year or two be fore taking extreme measures. The lake has been there a good many years now and it is going to stay awhile yet, with all the ice cutting that can possibly be done." CONTROL OF THE "FRATS" THE WISCONSIX PLAX IS LIKED Greeks at the "U" Wouldn't Be Aveme to Sucli it Scheme. Fraternity men in Minneapolis do not look with disfavor upon the proposed leg islation in Wisconsin for the control of the affairs of fraternities in the state institu tions. The plan provides that each school hav ing fraternities shall organize a board of control, made up of faculty members of the fraternities or representatives ap pointed by the societies, whose duty it shall be to investigate the charters of the organizations and their rules of govern ment. The law would also give fraterni ties which complied with the requirements of the board the privilege of building chapter houses on the campus. The proposition for a board of control is in some ways objectionable to' the Greeks. The possibility that the submis sion to the board of questions concerning the societies would niajce the affairs of the "frats" too public, and in this indi rect way destroy the autonomy of the or ganization in the general fraternity, if not injure the national bod.r. is slight, since the membership of the' board would in most cases be entirely fraternal. The last clause of the proposed bill, providing for a grant of privilege to build on the college grounds upon the com pliance with conditions is redeeming, and will probably be looked upon with favor by fraternity men in schools where the campus is spacious enough to make locations on it advantageous. At the University of Minnesota such a plan viuld probably take well because there are few if any places on the campus now owned by the state that would be desirable as locations for fraternity houses. The "U" fraternity men here, however, believe that the proposed legislation in Wisconsin will have a hard time getting through, the mere fact that its general re sult would be to make more public the treasured secrets of the societies being an announcement that "frat" men will find ample excuse for opposing it. ST. PAUL PARAGRAPHS G. H. Slo?um, checker editor of the Chi cago Tribune, will play at the Y. M. C. A. rooms in St. Paul next Thursday. Major C. B.

In January, 1878, the state training school at Red Wing was opened and since then there have been committed to its charge 2,118 boys and 226 girls, according to the biennial report just issued. In the two years ending July 31, 1900, there were 283 new commitments—233 boys and 44 girls. In the same period 73 boys and 22 girls were readmitted. There were 299 furloughed by the management and seven escaped. State Superintendent Olsen will soon con sult with legislative solons regarding the law or making congressional townships a grade school district, which he regards as a dead letter.

H. XU \ WOODY IS THE GIVER One Hundred Dollars to Be Given to the "I" Representative in the \or( lit-ru League Contest. William H. Dunwoody, president of the St. Anthony & Dakota Elevator company, has again shown his public spirit in a way that will be greatly appreciated, especially at the university and among the univer sity's friends. Mr. Dunwoody's latest act of generosity is in the form of a $100 prize to be given to the winner of the prelimi nary (fcntest to decide upon a represen tative in the contest of the Northern Ora torical League, which is composed of uni versities of the central states as follows: Minnesota, lowa, Wisconsin and Michigan State Universities, and Oberlin, Chicago and Northwestern. The contest will be held this year at lowa City, May 6, and the offer of this prize will stimulate work among Jhe ora tors at the university. As the local ora tor has to be chosen by Feb. 15, the effect of the prize will not be felt to so grea^ an extent this year as might otherwise be the case. But next year the preliminaries are expected to be entered by an unusually large number of students and to lead to harder and better work. TWILL BE A STUNNER ROOSEVELT CLUB MINSTREL SHOW The Preparations Are' Going Mer rily Forward and Saccett Is Sow Aimred. Preparations for the presentation of the minstrel show of the Roosevelt March ing club are going forward in a way that assures success. Feb. 25 and 26 have been selected as the dates and the Lyceum for the place. The end men the chorus and the mando factory rehearsals. Every night the per factory rehearsals, very night the per formers meet and devote their energies and efforts to preparation, and those who have been permitted to get a glimpse of their work know that something is com ing that is simply going to take the fun loving public off its feet. Charles Gale, Sewall Andrews, John Shaw and other bright minds are working up all sorts of end gags and joshes, along with some de cidedly clever songs that will make it hard for future professionals come up to the tastes of the Minneapolis public. The members of the marching club and their friends are doing everything in their power to make the show a success in order that the expenses of the club to the inaugural ceremonies at Washing ton in March may be defrayed. The club is a representative one and the city will be well represented by it at the national capital. The minstrel show will there fore, be of the nature of a society event, and society will be there in full force. There is a friendly rivalry between the Minneapolis and the St. Paul clubs as to which will make the best showing at Washington, which Minneapolitans say is all the more reason why the boys should be generously supported. Francis J. Carmody, private secretary of Loren Fletcher and a member of the club is arranging accommodations for the stay in Washington and has secured Harper's hall, a swell place, for head quarters, where everything will be pro vided for the club's comfort. Al Fldurnoy will have charge of the show and Joseph Frank of the musical parts. Jesse Shuman will lead, the man dolin club. The club has selected The Journal Newsboys' Band, as the most unique band in town, to help out in the big minstrel show. SOCIETY LIFE AT THE "U" The Woman's League of the University is an organization for the improvement of the sooial lite of the institution and aims to in clude all of the young woruen in its circle. It being impossible to promote real acquaint ance througn large gatherings, the members have been diviaed up into groups of fifteen and great pains have been taken to separate those who are already sufficiently well ac quainted. It T\as the belief of the commit tee which made the division that in some of the groups not one girl would knew another when they met this afternoon for the first time. Each eic^P includes two seniors, three juniors; three sophomores and enough fresh men and specials to fill it. Each has one or two faculty won"en as associate members and these are the social leaders of the group. This afternoon each group was entertained at the home of one of the faculty women. The meetings were very informal and each hostess had her own plan of breaking the ice and promoting acquaints nee as much as possible. Gutting games and contests were rrovided quit: generall.., though these were varied with candy pulls and thimble bees. Light refreshments were served.

Preparations for the junior ball, which comes Feb. 15, are now well under way, and the committee is doing all that hard work and money can to make the event one to be remembered with pleasure by all who attend. This annual midwinter party of the juniors is at a time when everything seems to lend itself to the occasion, coming, as ft does, at the close of the winter's social life and shortly before Lent. The decoration committee has planned an elaborate scene of bewildering beauty. The decorations will be even more elaborate than at first planned. Red, white and blue will be gracefully fes tooned among the high arches overhead, while electrical designs of colored lights wil! figure prominently. Palms and ferns will be used here and there, and Georgia smilax will constitute a background for the orchestra gal lery, which will be draped in national colors. The spectators' gallery will be draped in crimson and straw, the class colors, and the corners on the main floor will be fitted up into oriental booths, at two of which frapps will be served. Rich rugs and cushions, with divans, together with colored lights, will be used here to carry out the oriental effect. The dance programs are dainty and artistic. The covers will be in crimson, with letters embossed in straw color, and on the first page.will be a beautiful pen and ink drawing. Danz's orchestra of twenty-five pieces will furnish a "musicale" at 8, preceding the dance program of thirty numbers. The gal leries will be open to spectators. Refresh ments will be served by one of the best ca terers in the cities. The committee having this In charge have decided to make more elaborate preparations in this line than has heretofore been the custom.
