It is reported that the grand jury is groins to the bottom of the question of the location of these resorts. A num ber of years ago a similar investiga tion was held, but the outcome of it was that a few members of the jury insisted that if any indictments were brought the owners of the houses, as well as the lessees of them, should be indicted. Then they began to look up the owners and found there were some men whom they did not want to in dict and the result was that nothing came of the investigation. Things have changed since, however, and now some of the women whose cases were referred to the grand jury are themselves the owners of the prop erty they occupy, while there are others who perhaps would not care to have it known that they were renting their property or the property of which they are agents for the purposes which it is supposed some of these houses are being used for. Whether it has been consideration for some of these people or some other cause that has held the city authorities in check when the de mand for some action in the matter was made is a matter of opinion. But it is understood to be a fact that the present grand jury is going back to the scandal of the Doran administration, which resulted when Mayor Doran ordered a number of women off of Jackson street to West Third street. It was about that time a story be came current that a purse had been collected to be used in forcing all the houses "under the hill," but the pub lication of the story, it was said at the time, resulted in the return of the money. Nina Clifford figured conspic uously in that movement, and it is sig nificant that among the witnesses sub poenaed before the present errand jury were Nina Clifford, former Mayor Do ran and his first private secretary; Mes-' senger Miller, who knew more about that particular branch of the business than any other attache of the admin istration, and others. They were ex amined last v/eek. The grand jury may have questioned Miller about the system which he ad mitted that he followed in collecting fines from the women. The municipal court records showed that there was more or less irregularity about the pay ment of those fines. The grand jury has not yet summon ed Aid. Stutzman, who caused an in vestigation of the scar.dal to be start ed in the council. Siutzman found so touch opposition that it fizzled, but he doubtless remembers all the testimony he had accumulated in the cases and may yet be called to tell the grand Jury what at the time was regarded as too hot or too tame for the council to sift to the bottom. Stutzman paid for his effort to investigate the administration by being turned down for renomination. Tn connection, too, with that famous act of Mayor Doran in causing a lot of women to leave houses on Jackson street and fill up a lot of, previous to that time, vacant houses on Third street drew a vigorous protest from the West Publishing company and still better a suit, which for some reason or other is still pending in the district court. This is th? case brought by the John Hancock Mutual Life Insur ance Company of Boston against the owners of the "Rogers" building, just west of Bridge square, asking for an injunction and damages. The case was begun after Mayor Doran's famous "herding." It was begun in April, 1597. A stipulation was filed extending the time for the filing of the answer to May, 1897. The complaint itself was filed with the clerk of the district court on June S, 1597, and was ordered placed on the June calendar. For some reason the case was omitted from the calendar and is still pending in the district court. The complaint alleges: During the fall of 1896 these defendants have wrongfully and unlawfully demised ad leased unto various persons known to them to be public and notorious prostitutes and lowd women the second and other floors or stories of their said building, which is situ ated directly across the street from the plain tiff s building. Such '.oases having be>n made from month to month to said persors were made by the defendants with the fuli Knowledge that the rooms and floors so let should be u??d by each and all of the sev eral lessees thereof as houses of ill fame and assignation. ♦ • * Said apartments, before the same were leased by said defendants to said per^ns were especially refitted by said defendants for the express purntse of such use and occupation as aforesaid. No answer was ever filed in the case. If. as is suspected from the witnesses that are being called, the grand jury is going back over the present and for mer city administration's actions to wards keepers of resorts in St. Paul the investigating body is apt to yet dis cover to the public some interesting and perhaps sensational facts.

PAUL, GLOJIS — -WEDNESDAY—— JANUARY 25, 1839. 1 TEACHERS' FUND COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATION DE CIDES TO RECOMMEND BILL FOR INDEFINITE POSTPONEMENT VOTE STOOD EIGHT TO SEVEN Delegation otf Twin City Tf ßCiiltn Crjfe tt Favorable Reouiuiucnda tlon of the Bill, but a Majority Are Oppoged to Allow Ing Them to Put Their Money Into v Fund Mr. Wheatoln'H Bill. The committee on general legislation at a meeting last evening decided to recommend for indefinite postpone ment the bill creating a retirement fund for public school teachers. The motion to recommend the bill for pass age was defeated by a vote of 8 to 7, fhose voting for the bill being Messrs. Sloan, Sinionson, Stivers, O'Connor, Dwinnell, Donohue and O'Neill. Those opposed to tha recommendation for passage were Messrs. Laybourn, Schur lnan, Muuslen, Truwe, Fosnes, Jack son, Nelson and Staples. The two ab sent members <_>f the committee were Hazlett and Medicraft. The motion to indefinitely postpone the bill was then put and on a vive voce vote declared carried. Previous to the action taken by the committee the members were favored with brief arguments on the merits and purposes of the bill by a delega tion of teachers from Minneapolis and this city. Miss Weston, representing the teach ers of Minneapolis, said the vital points of the bill were that its adoption was optional by boards of education and teachers. It provided that 1 per cent of the salaries of teachers be paid into the retirement fund and allowed teach ers permanently disabled to be retired on half-pay not to exceed $GOO per year. Provision was also made for the re tirement of teachers after . twenty years of service at half-pay and after ten years of service on a less amount. Eighty per cent of the teachers in the Twin Cities favored the bill, and it had been introduced and given a practical test in some dozen cities in the country. The success of the plan was an assured fact, and as the teachers raised the fund by paying a per cent of salaries into the fund there could be no obiec tion. The attention of the committee was called to the fact that for the past two sessions of the Pennsylvania legis lature $10,000 had been appropriated for the benefit of the teachers' fund in Philadelphia. Miss Flint, a St. Paul teacher, called attention to the movement In various cities to provide a fund for teachers who became worn out. The passage of the law would not only meet this de mand, but mr;ke teaching more of a profession. It would also prevent teaching- from being a stepping stone to some other employment or vocation Miss Trivett, of Minnej.rolis, cited the fact that disabled soldiers were given a pension by the government, and if this was the case why should not the teachers, from a fund of their civn, be allowed to secure retirement. The plan had bten tried in Germany for 100 years, and a fund similar to what was sought to be established had been in effect for ten years in a nurr.ber of American cities. Supt. Smith, of the St. Paul public schools, denied that the la*v was class legislation. All legislation was more or less class legislation, and if this was the teachers paid for it. It was a ques tion often discussed as to why the teachers, who were paid a good salary; did not save money. The very highest talent was now required in teaching, and however large the salary, a large portion of it was used by the teacher to prepare for the high standard de manded. E. E. McDonald, of St. Paul, said he was not in favor of pension systems, but this was not in the nature of a pension, as the teachers created the fund themselves. The proposed legis lation was wholesome and needed. Thf taxpayers had no ground for com plaint. Senator Snyder, of Minneapolis, fa vored the bill, the only question with him being as to whether the plan would work out in a financial way. As to the law being compulsory on a!l teachers in the places in which it was adopted by the board of education, it would do little harm, as the amount paid into the fund was small, being on the average not over $5 per year. In reply to questions, Prof. Farns worth, of St. Paul, stated that if all the cities in the state having a popula tion of over 10,000 should take advan tage of it about 1,700 teachers in all cr.uld come under it. The teachers' delegation then with drew and the committee discussed the bill. Mr. Jackson (Rep.), of Ramsey, was opposed to the bill, on the princi ple that it was class legislation and compulsory on all teachers to pay into the fund. He feared that a number of ' the teachers were obliged to say th.y favored it, owing to a desire to be in I accord with the principals. Mr. Staples (Rep.), of Dakota, said the law would mean in the end a pen sion, and the statement of one of the representatives of the teachers, that Pennsylvania appropriated $10,000 every two years for the Philadelphia fund, was an indication of what future legislatures in this state would be called upon to do. Mr. Stivers (Dem.), of Crow Wing, thought there was no need of worry ing about future legislatures. All the present legislature was responsible for was its own acts. Mr. Dwinnell (Rep.), of Hennepin, had no fear that the law would be the i starting of a pension fund. Eighty pir ! cent of the teachers in both cities fa- I fored it, and the measure should pass. The vote was taken, as mentioned above, and the bill will be recom mended by the committee for indefinite postponement. Mr. Wheaton (Rep.), of Hennepin i discussed his civil rights bill, and in a I flight of oratory stated that the rece-t decision of the supreme court was a party measure. The decision he re ferred to was one made by Judges Canty, Buck and Mitchell, in which it was held that under the present civil rights law colored men were not en titled to privileges in saloons, the law not mentioning these resorts among the number. Replying to questions by the commit tee, Mr. Wheaton stated that the only amendment his bill made to the pres ent law was to include saloons among the resorts where there was to be no discrimination as to race, color or pre- ' vious condition. The bills of Mr. Guttersen (Rep ) of Blue Earth, H. P. 91 and 90, putting telegraph companies under the power of the railroad and warehouse com mission, and requiring common car riers to pay for the internal revenue stamps on bills of lading and telegraph messages, were postponed until Tues day afternoon. Manager Rudd, of the Western Union Telegraph company, asked for a continuance on the ground that a copy of the bills had not as yet reached the home office. HARDWARE MEfTfb MEET.

ASSAULTED A YOUNG WOMAN OFFICER EMUOSHT HEARS THE CRIES ATVD RVNS DOWN THE GIRL'S ASSAILANT Police Suspect the Ma.ii of Attempted l!tnH»vn v Robbery— The .Prisoner a Dlrttug v isli. ■(]-!<, ..Mnn Strnn ffer From Detroit. Clara Rick, a domestic employed in the family of R. A. Weston, 224 Arun dal street, was brutally assaulted on Arundel street, between Laurel and j Ashland avenues, shortly after 10 o'clock last night. The assailant was captured by Officer Enright after an exciting chase in which the policeman emptied his revolver at the fugitive. The prisoner gives the name of Wil liam Olson. He is charged with at tempt at highway robbery. When Miss PJck was assaulted she was walking toward her home. Her assailant came from the opposite direc tion. As the man walked abreast of her, without a word he suddenly turn ed upon the girl and dealt her a vicious blow in the face. His fist struck Miss I Rick in the mouth, badly bruising the lips and lascerathig the skin. The blow knocked her down, but didn't de- i prive her of consciousness and she I screamed loudly for help. Officer Enright was not far away and Started to the girl's aid. Her assailant saw the policeman approaching and took to flight without being able to search the girl's pockets. The chase extended over several blocks, with Of ficer Enright firing at the alleged high wayman whenever a good opportunity j offered, until his revolver was empty, j Finally the fugitive dodged into a yard beside an apartment house and lay flat down against the wall. Officer En right discovered his hiding place and placed him. under arrest. The prisoner is' rather a distinguish ed looking man of perhaps thirty years of age, well dressed and an intelligent talker. He wears his brown hair long and has a sweeping mustache and Van Dyke beard, neatly trimmed. He ad- ! mits having assaulted Miss Rick, but | claims not to have intended robbery or i other criminal offense, but to have mis taken her for some one else. Why he should desire to knock down some other woman he dpes not explain. He says J Olson is not his right name. He claims j to have come to St. Paul last Saturday \ from Detroit, Mich. The prisoner claims to be a tinsmith and a plumber, but his general appearance does "not bear out the statement, he having more the aspect of a student or professional man. He is nearly six feet tall and heavily built. The injuries inflicted upon Miss Rick, while painful, are not serious. BURMESTER CONCERT. ■ A Tour Wliteh Has Been a Series of i Ovations.

Judge Macdonald was in part- I nership with Thomas R. Kane, with omce3 in the Glofoe building, for some time prior to his departure. The cause attributed for hii' decision to seek new fields was that for I a number of years the law business in this I city was not as remunerative as It. used to be. Judge Macdonald occupied the bench In the Shakopee district for several years, and on one accaslon was elected to serve the Third district in congress. Fell TTirousli a Coal Hole.

War may be grim-visagel, but all Its appurtenances lend themselves readly to decorative features, so, of course, the military ball danced last night at Cambridge hall, for sweet charity's sake, was an artistic as well as a financial success. The party was given for the benefit of the Church Home of Aged Women. Stars and Stripes and wreathings of red, white and blue and blue ribbons decorated the hall. In one corner a large cannon carried out the military impression. The guests were received by. Gen. and Mrs. Bacon, Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Noyes, Gen. and Mrs. Bishop, Maj. and Mrs. Abbot, Mr. and Mrs. T. L,. Schurmeier, Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Clarke, Mrs. Henry Hale, Mrs. N. M. Halbert, Mrs. J. N. Bass. From 8 to 9:30 a promenade concert was given, St. Anthony Hill orchestra playing. This was followed by a short programme of waltzes and two-steps and then supper was served. The ta bles were decorated with flags, cut flowers and potted plants. Directly after supper the german was danced, Mr. Ed Halbert leading. Mrs. C. P. Noyes and Mrs. Henry Hale presided over the favor table. The mil itary idea was carried out in the fa vors, some of these being little red, white and blue pails with "Remember the Maine" inscribed on them, military buttons, flags and Manila cigars, tied with red, white and blue ribbon. One of the features Introduced into the german by Mr. Halbert was both effective and unique. The buglers from the Third infantry had been secured, and before they entered the hall the announcement was made that Gen. and Mrs. Aguinaldo were outside. The lat ter were represented by two little pickininnies, aged 7 and 4, dressed to represent the famous insurgent and h s wife. They marched into the hall be hind the buglers, who gave the army call and headed the grand march formed by the dancers. A hollow square was then formed with Mr. Ha' bert holding the Stars and Stripes and Gen. and Mrs. Aguinaldo in the center. The latter went down on their knees before the flag, while the orchestra played the "Trooping of the Col ors," changing afterwards to "Amer ica," in which all joined. Later the two small darkies danced a break down. The following are some of the gowr.s worn by the ladies: Mrs. C. P. Xoyes— White laoe over yellow silk. Mrs. Henry Hale— niack brocaded silk.

Baird, of Lakota, N. D., was among the guests at the Ryan yester day. Mr. Baird is the founder of the town site of Lakota and has been prom inently identified with Kelson county affairs for the past decade. He was seen by a reporter for The Globe yes terday and said: '"We have had good crops in Kelson county since 1891, and as a consequence we have hardly felt the hard times, btcck raising as a diversity of the farm is very generally being introduc ed by the farmers., and I notice that the farmers who pay their bills prompt ly are those who have mixed stock raiping with wheat raising. I think the former industry has during the last tew years been brought to a level with* wheat raising. It has been quite as successful i n its way, although it is somewhat newer and there is a much greater field for improvement. With wheat raising the element of luck largely determines the success of the en.p. but with live stock it is differ ent, although more difficult as a high state of perfection is possible. "Demand for grazing and agricultural land has been very good all summer and a large acreage has changed hands at increased price. Northwest of Cooperstown, between Cheyenne river and Devil's lake, the farmers have had remarkable success with their stock Some exceptionally large ranches have been built during the last eighteen months in this locality. The lard is well sheltered, is a fine grazing coun try and has a large number of lakes I regard it as one of the most promis ing sections of North Dakota." ■ » * * F.
