CAN CONTROL ANARCHISTS.
Attorney General Douglas is of the opinion
that "Minnesota needs laws directed against
the anarchists. He says that there is no
doubt the state legislature has power to put
a limitation upon the inflammatory speeches
of anarchists or other political malcontents,
and he thinks the legislature should do so.
TEXAS OIL NEWS.
The Bigg-eat Gather Yet—Threw
Rock 800 Feet High.
What is believed to be the biggest gush
er in the Texas oil field is just reported.
It is known as the Mcore-Skinner well in
the Hogg-Swayne purchase. This is an
eight-inch well which spouted oil and
rock, casting the rock 500 feet In the air.
The flow of oil is believed to be greater
than that of any other well.
The extent of tank-building now in
progress on Spindle Top Heights is illus
trated by the arrival the other day of
twenty boiler-makers from Pittsburg with
full equipment of compressed air machin
ery, etc., which will be employed in build
ing oil tanks and pipe lines. The Texas
oil proposition is assuming, more and
more, the attitude of plain business,
eliminating the speculative feature al
most entirely.
The Saratoga well is working In the
cap rock, or close to it, as the drill head
is now making slow progress in rock.
Many people are watching the progress
of this well. The Saratoga company has
a proposition as good as or better than
I any other now offering its stock for sale.

PACKERS ARE MAD
Say Butchers Are All Right and
Borax Is Not Injurious.
McCONNELL QUOTES THE LAW
It In Very Clear and the Commis-
sioner Says He Will Kn
foree It.
The campaign started against the butch
ers by the state dairy and food com
mission has provoked quite an outburst
of indignation from the packers, who de
clare that borax is not injurious, and that
they are being persecuted with unjust dis
crimination. Sausage preserved by means
of borax solution has been on the market
for years and they see no reason for
prohibition at this time. The following
communication has been received from
one of the packing companies: I
To the Editor of The Journal: ;■;.,■.
Why does not the dairy and food commis
sion give the poor butcher a rest and begin
with the candymaker or brewer or distiller or
crackermaker, or condemn everything that
contains so-called adulterants—and let the
citizens of Minneapolis go hungry, which they
certainly would, with the dairy and foci
commission thrown In, if everything is 'con
demned that contains as harmless a preserva
tive as the poor butcher uses. . <.'..:: j:>;
If the dairy and food commission knew the
effects of borax on the human system, they
would quit their work In disgust. . '
A copy of the letter was shown to Dairy
Commissioner McConnell. He said: .
I do not care to enter into a controversy
with the packing companies. • I know what
the law is, and as far as this department is
able with its limited force, the law is being
enforced. I know they claim that borax is
not injurious. It stands to reason that a j
preparation which will arrest decay for aa
much as six weeks will arrest digestion.
They have made the foolish point that the
act prohibiting the use of preservatives would
prohibit the use of salt. ' They have not read
the bill, evidently.
Mr. McConnell here turned to the act
passed last session, Chapter 348 of the
general laws. The second section is as
I follows: • • •
Any person, firm or corporation who shall
sell, or offer for sale, or consign, or have in
his possession with intent to sell to any per
son or persons, any milk, cream or food prod
ucts of any nature whatever, butter, cheese,
or any other dairy products, or-who shall de
liver to any creamery or cheese factory, milk
or cream to be manufactured" into butter or
cheese, to which has been added any prepara
tion in powdered or liquid form, known as
preservatives, or any other compounds con
taining antiseptics, shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, or upon conviction therefor
be punished by a fine of not less than $25 nor
more than f 100 for each and every offense.
This act shall not be construed to prohibit
the use of salt In butter.
'•It is our duty to enforce that law"
said Mr. McConnell. "regardless of comp
laints. It is always the fellow whose
toes arc stepped on who make the out
cry. .No matter who we go after, they
always want us to leave them alone and
get the other fellow.' "
LEIGHTON ON LIGHTING
AND WEST SIDE PUMPING STATION
The Alderman Secures Assurances
That Insurance Men Win Ap
prove 'His Scheme, • ;,
Given a new pumping station in North
east Minneapolis or the present North
Side pumping station equipped with two of
the Jumbo pumps in addition to the two
Worthlngton pumps now doing duty there,
and the Insurance authorities will enter |
no objection to the use of the West Side
pumping station as a municipal. lighting
plant or for other purposes. This is the
assurance given Alderman H. N. Leigh
ton by W. H. Johnson, general inspector
of the National Underwriters' association,
in the course of a recent talk at Indian
apolis, where both gentlemen were in at
tendance at the annual convention of fire
department chiefs.
Alderman Leighton took advantage 'of
the occasion of his meeting with Mr.
Johnson at Indianapolis to state the Min
neapolis situation fully to him and ask
what would be the attitude of the insur
ance companies toward "such a change as
that proposed. Mr. Johnson is himself
intimately acquainted with the water con
ditions in Minneapolis, as he 4 visits this
city at least once a year In 'the course
of his rounds of inspection. He assured
Alderman Leighton that when the North
east station was finished, or at any time
before that that the city might add two
Jumbo pumps to the present equipment
at the North Side station, the insurance
companies would make no objections to
the abandonment of the West Side station
for pumping purposes. In his estimation
the business interests in the mill district
and elsewhere in the city would be amply
protected under the above conditions. .
Alderman Leighton will follow up his
municipal lighting lead keenly during the
next few weeks, and later in the year will
probably- be prepared to, take the next
step.
The General Electric company is also
said to be alert and active and methodi
cally amas3ing arguments* for aldermanlc
attention to discourage the scheme of
municipal lighting.

Hillvboro City Tax Levy.
Special to The Journal.

THE MINNEAPOLIS JOUENAL.
WILL "LON" RUN?
Democrats Wondering Whether
Phillips Wilf Race With Conroy
WAS THERE AN AGREEMENT?
Same Phillips Men Say No—The
Conroy Men Say
Yes.
Is Alonzo Phillips a candidate for the
democratic shrievalty nomination? That
is a question that is causing considerable
speculation among politicians just at pres
ent, and they admit that they know noth
ing whatever about it. Phillips' friends
are urging him to make the race. They
point out that he is the only democrat
who has been elected to that office in
many years; and they say he could be
elected again under favorable conditions.
Moreover, they are denying the story cur
rent the month prior to the last primary
election, that Phillips and Conroy had
come to an agreement whereby the older
man was to have the nomination without
a contest, upon condition that he would
get out of Conroy's way two years later.
One of Phillips' supporters in referring
to the matter said:
Why, that story was a fake on its face.
The old man is not a fool. He knew that
any fight he might make i na presidential
year would be likely to result in his defeat.
If Conroy had made him any such proposition
Lon would simply have laughed in his face.
The date of the next primary election
is more than a year away, and the fact
that Phillips' candidacy is being urged,
en the quiet, bo far in advance, may be
taken as an indication that his friends
know he will have a fight on his hands.
They admit that Conroy is an opponent
not to be despised. Should he be a can
didate he would get an immense majority
over Phillips on the east side of the river,
where he lives, and would do very well in
the country districts, where he made
many friends while a member of the
board of county commissioners.
Conroy's friends claim that there was an
absolute deal,and that Conroy will have no
opposition for the nomination. There is a
rumor, however, that Mart Whitcomb has
designs on the office again.
PLEASED WITH THE TWINS
A. E. AMES, A TORONTO CAPITALIST
He la Here as a Director of Twin
City Rapid Transit
Company.
A. E. Ames, a Toronto capitalist, and
the single Canadian member of the Twin
City Rapid Transit company board of di
rectors, is the guest of President Thomas
Lowry and General Manager Hield. Mr-
Ames will spend to-day and Saturday in
specting the street railway system of the
twin cities. He says that the Canadian
capitalists who own stock in the Twin
City Rapid Transit company are pleased
with their investment. Said Mr. Ames:
In Toronto we regard the future of the twin
cities as exceptionally good. Both Minne
apolis and St. Paul are sure to develop rea
sonably fast. That will carry with the de
velopment the prosperity of all business en
terprises.. In addition to that your street
railway system ;s one of the best in the
country.
Canada is prosperous. General trade con
ditions are good. The wholesale men are in
creasing their business and the same can be
said of the exports of the Dominion. The big
grain crop of western Canada is another
favorable element in the situation.
The Canadian peorle are deeply interested
in the condition of President McKinley. He
is held in high esteem all through the Do
minion. We regard i)im as one of the best
executives this great nation ever had.
Mr. Ames was one of the party of Ca
nadian capitalists who inspected the street
railway system here during the summer.
He says, that all of the visitors were high
ly pleased with what they saw.

Every Tuesday evening, commencing
with Tuesday, October Bth, will be ladies'
night, and a special committee has been
appointed for the express purpose of mak
ing this departure a prominent feature.
A tournament will be held with appro
priate prizes to be competed for by the

IN FAVOR OF MOVING
Plymouth Church Members Want an
Uptown Site.
Plymouth Congregational church mem
bers discussed the plan of removal to an
uptown site, at a meeting last night. The
sentiment seemed to be that a change
should be made, that a site should be se
cured now, and that the old property
should be held for an advance. Postal
cards will be sent to the members of the
congregation with the following ques
tions:
Are you in favor of moving?
Are you in favor of the site between
First and Stevens avenues and Seven
teenth and Eighteenth streets?
Are there any other sites you would be
in favor of?
A majority seemed to favor the block
on Stevens between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth, which may be obtained for
$34,000. It measures 325x270 feet. The
present site fronts 113 feet on Xicollet
and is thought to be worth at least $1,500
a front foot.
GRAND CHIEF ARTHUR
Head of B. of L. E. Will Hold Union
Meeting's in the Northwest.
P. M. Arthur, grand chief of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, passed
through Minneapolis last evening on hi 3
way to the Pacific coast. He goes at the
invitation of western' lodges to hold big
union meetings of the brotherhood at
Spokane and Portland.
While the meetings will be secret, it is
asserted that they have no particular sig
nificance and do not threaten any trouble.
It is proposed to hold a similar meeting
in St. Paul on Mr. Arthur's return, which
will be in about two weeks.
To Succeed Rev. Mr. Vance.
Special to The Journal.
Fargo, N. D., Sept. 13.—1t is announced
that Rev. H. G. Leonard of Waukegan, 111.,
has accepted a call to the pastorate of the
First M. E. church of Fargo to succeed Rev.
W. H. Vance, who goes to La Crosse, Wis.,
after five years here. —A syndicate is being
organized in Fargo to fight the tax sale under
the amended Woods law of '97. There was
a weak spot in the measure, which was
patched up by the last legislature, and many
counties made a kind of scavenger act of the
bill to clear off all back taxes. In some
counties large amounts bave been collected
and some money was secured in this, but
some of the people who were caught hardest
are combining to test the validity of the
measure.

BISHOP WHIPPLE BETTER
EARLY RECOVERY IS EXPECTED
Passed a Good Night Last Night and
His Physicians Are
Confident.
Special to The Journal.
Faribault, Minn., Sept. 13.—Were it not
for the advanced age of Bishop Whipple
his present illness would probably cause
no alarm. Dr. Rose, of Faribault, is at
tending him and has been in consultation
with Dr. A. J. Stone, of St. Paul, who
makes regular visits to this city. An
experienced professional nurse has been
sent hero to assist in caring for the
bishop.
On his way home from the sea-side sev
eral weeks ago the bishop caught a cold
and has not been in his usual health
since. He has also had another at
tack of dyspepsia, and this distressed
his heart and made his symptoms appear
dangerous. Tuesday night he suffered
greatly and in view of his age and en
feebled condition general uneasiness was
felt by those cognizant of his sickness.
He was much improved this morning,
having passed a good night, and Dr. Rose
expects he will shortly recover. Dr.
Stone also left an encouraging report af
ter seeing the patient last evening. The
bishop's pulse and respiration are better,
and he has regained consciousness and is
resting easy.
Dr. Stone has been coming to Faribault
regularly for three months and is fre
quently called into consultation here. He
was not, as stated by St. Paul papers,
especially summoned for this case.

Hotel Martin Passes to the Control
of William Prescott.
Special to The Journal.
Fargo, N. D., Sept. 13.—After several
weeks' negotiations William Prescott of
Grand Forks has leased the Hotel Martin
I in Fargo and will change the name to
The Prescott. The new boniface is one of
the best known caterers in the state and
is expected to make a popular resort of
the hotel, which has changed hands so fre
quently. The building was formerly built
toy Major Edwards as the home of the
Argus, end when that famous mortgage
was foreclosed the structure passed into
new hands and was afterwards converted
into a hotel. It is five stories high and
the original plans were for only three.
The major used to say that the last two
stories were added because the men de
manded the money for the work and he
kept them building till the funds were
raised.
