world for the cure of terrible neuralgia,
nervous and blood diseases, is fully borne
out by the strong and convincing letters of

CIT Y NEWS**:
DOG TAG BARGAINS
A. D. Hoffman, the Dog Tag Coun
terfeiter, Gives I4ght on
His Business.
Views Tirade as a Sort of Philan-
thropyFor the Public
Good.
. A . D . Hoffman, dog tax counterfeiter for
the benefit of the public, who resides a t
2664 Aldrich avenue N , is prosecuting his
business for his seventeenth year in Min
neapolis with-a ' degree of success that
keeps him in the utmost good nature.
When asked, "How's business?" he smiles
broadly and convincingly. His smile is
enough. I f pressed for a statement of
profits, he very frankly days they are good
and that the dog tag business is thriving,
tho I t I s not so good a s In former years
owing to competition. Whereas he used
to have only one competitor, the city,
whose prices he could discount largely, he
now has competitors in imitation. How
ever, he does a very good business at 50c
per tag.
The fact that Hoffman sells tags that
are not authorized by the city but yet arc
exact duplicates of the city's tags, giving
a dog wearing a counterfeit just as good
standing in the eyes of the public officers
as a dog wearing the genuine thing, does
not worry Mr. Hoffmanno t him. While
he profits by his business, he argues that
he is benefiting the public. H e says that
the dog' tax i s illegal. People are taxed
on their personal property. Assessors list
ing property list no dog a t less than $5.
Dogs taxed under the head of personal
property, argues Hoffman, cannot be taxed
a second time under a special tax. His
sale of counterfeit tags he regards ,' there
fore, as a fight against unjust burdens up
on the public"a matter of principle."
STRIKE DUE TO-MORROW
Sheet Metal Workers Say Demands
Must Be Granted or They
Will Quit.
An that
Hoffman was up before one of the city
officers a year or two ago and was at that
time asked why h e did not counterfeit
cycle tags.
"That's different," he said. The pro
ceeds from cycle tag sales go for a good
purpose for the good of the publicI
would not think of selling cycle tags."
When asked what he did with the money
from the sale of dogr tags, he said: "Wel l,
I save the proceeds until I get $52.62, then
I go and pay m y taxes."
Hoffman has done his bargain sale dog
tag business in Minneapolis for sixteen
years. H e has sold more than three hun
dred tags this year. Before coming to
Minneapolis he followed the same business
in Chicago for nine years.
Official dog catchers last year, says
Hoffman, were attracted by the profits of
the business and sold his tags to the own
ers of dogs caught by them.
Two hundred sheet metals workers en
gaged in two score, local tin ships and
cornice factories wi ll go on strike to-mor
row morning unless a n agreement is
reached to-night.
After three months -of negotiation the
men voted last night against arbitration
of differences and decided to quit work to
morrow.
A new agreement between the local as
sociation of employers of sheet metal
workers and local union No. 40, Amalga
mated Sheet Metal Workers' International
association, was presented b y the union
Fe b. 1, and was to go into effect on May
1, if accepted by the employers.
A n attorney representing the employ
ers drew up a counter agreement. The
differences between the two plans were
numerous. The union desired a minimum
wage of 40 cents an hourth e employers
a minimum of 30 cents. The two parties
could not agree a s t o hours, the union
having demanded an eight-hour 'day with
time and a half for over time up to mid
night, and double time for labor after
midnight, on Sundays, and on holidays.
The employers proposed several clauses
that were alleged to be directed against
the recognized privileges of union work
ers.
odn
Sat-
After committees from each side had
met, the employers are said t o have re
quested that differences of opinion a s to
the working rules should be submitted to
arbitration. This proposition, for rea
sons satisfactory t o the union, was not
accepted. COLD DID SHALL DAMAGE
Small Fruit Little Injured by the
Untimely Recurrence of
Winter.
Little damage t o small fruit, s o far a s
can be told at present, was caused by the
co ld wave that surprised Minneapolis last
night. Vegetables and grain probably
escaped all injury.
The 25 degrees above zero predicted by
Section Director Outram was reached a t
7 o'clock this morning, the actual record
being a fraction more than 24 above. This
was the minimum record of the "squav
winter." But moments far more frigid
were experienced a t points northwest of
the twin cities.
"It will be three or four days before
we can tell accurately whether.any dam
age has been done,", said P . M. Endsley
to-day at his office in the Guaranty build
ing. Mr. Endsley cultivates fruit and
vegetables at his summer home, Fairview,
Lake Minnetonka. H e is also something
of a farmer. "The currant buds are out,"
he added. "They look frozen. They ai*e
damaged some, but not seriously perhaps.
The gooseberries, I think, are not out far
enough to suffer much. I should say that
apples, plums and cherries are not hurt
at all. and I know the strawberries are
safe. They aren't sufficiently advanced
to mind the cold.
"The gardeners won't lose anything. All
my peas, onions and lettuce" are u"p, but
they enjoy a nice fresh breeze. - ,No other
vegetables are likely- t o feel any the
worse. -.- ,--.-. ... -

might be damaged. That would happen

some of the elevators t o g o up a t the
more remote points wi ll handle grain be

SAYS IT IS MOSSY
F. N. Stacy Compares Minneapolis
^ Municipal Bookkeeping With
- --?."---. That Elsewherer -fc-*-"
Other Cities, He Says, Have Saved
Thousands by Up-to-Date
Frank L . Stacy has returned' from &
trip t o several large cities where he has
compared municipal bookkeeping systems
with the. system in. vogue in Minneapolis. .
After-ascertaining, how they keep jab on
public funds in Chicago, New York, Phila
delphia, . Boston and . Buffalo, Mr. Stacy
concluded that all those cities were far
ahead of Minneapolis.... Their account
keeping has. kept pace with the,growth
of the cities while the Minneapolis system
is out of date.
Mr. Stacy said that as a result of tne
$150,000 appropriation for a checking up
and revision of the municipal funds i,n
Chicago, the city had recovered more than
$\,000,000 in special assessments in a year
and $73,000 in the single item of clerk^
hire: The other cities reaped correspond-"
ing rewards b y revising their financial
systems when it was clearly established
that they had been outgrown.
I n a report which he will shortly make
to the city council, based on his investi
gations, Mr. Stacy will recommend some
radical" reforms in the present way of
keeping check on public expenditures.
For fear undue curiosity may b e
aroused as to who footed the expenses of
his trip, Mr. Stacy wishes it understood
that he "paid the freight" himself.
A t New London Mr. Stacy witnessed
the launching of the giant steamship
Minnesota. In view of the big delegation
from other states, notably the northwest
ern states chiefly interested, h e said it
was a matter of great regret t o the few
Minnesotans on hand that this state had
so small a representation. Six hundred
were present from New York and there
were thirty citizens of the state of Wash
ington.
