SOMERS 'WANTS IT, TOO.
Another Man Anplre* for the Posi
tion of City Baglßeer.
A delegation of Sixth ward politl
-1 clans, consisting of Charles S. Schur
man. Assemblyman George F. Dlx,
M. L. Mclntyre, F. Wilde, C. R. Woods,
D. R. Davis and P. J. Bique hung
around the corridors of the city hall
nearly all afternoon yesterday, wait
ing fur a chance to see the mayor and
impress upon him the desirability of
appointing W. A. Somers to the posi-
I tk»n of city engineer. Of course, they
I knew the mayor does not make that
I appointment, but they surmised that
! his highness would dictate it or there
would be no appointment made. But
the mayor's office was not open to call
: ers yesterday afternoon, in fact, it was
double bolted and the curtains were
closely drawn, and up to 4 o'clock
when all the other city officers closed
the delegation was still waiting.
Speaking of the engineership, it's not
j certain that the mayor will dictate the
! appointment. It is a foregone oonclu
• sion that his appointments to the board
of public works will vote for the man
he suggests, but that alone does not
elect an engineer. He is bound to
make some concessions to either Ma
bon* or Sandell to get votes enough to
carry the day. A promise to make
Sandell chairman of the board might
bring about the desired end or an ab
l solute premise of a reappointment of
I either Mabon or Sandell next year may
produce the same result, but, 'unless
! something of the kind is done there
■ will be a deadlock and Rundlett will
j continue in office.
As regards the appointment of a
health commissioner, a countryman of
the mayor's and one who is perhaps
closest to the throne, said yesterday:
"The colonel desires to appoint Dr.
Stamm to the position, but the doctor
does not want it and is working hard
i for the success of Dr. John F. Fulton.
I think he will be the next health com
missioner, that is if Dr. Stamm can
have his way.
PUBLIC SCHOOL IXION
Will DlMcnxtt the Kindergarten at
the <l>u: rKrl ' Meeting.
The March quarterly meeting of the
school unions will be held Monday
j evening, March 13, in the assembly
1 hall of the Central high school to dis
cuss the subject of the kindergarten
in all its phases.
The committee on lectures, of which
Mr. George L. Wilson is chairman,
has secured Miss S. C. Brooks, who
| will open the discussion with a paper
on the kindergarten, its aims and its
connection with our schools. Rev. E.
C. Mitchell will present the topic from
the standpoint of the public, while
Miss Susan M. Greene will give the
facts and figures of this branch of ed-
I ucation from other cities. Miss Ca
milla' milla I. Kendall will explain Froebel's
i gifts, and Principal Bryant will give
! the principal's view of the subject. A
, speaker will present the relations of
I the kindergarten to the home, and the
topic will then be open to general dis
cussion.
The Mothers' clubs, which, more
than any other organization, comes
closely in touch with the kindergarten,
j have been requested to be present in
! force. If there be any remaining who
hold that the kindergarten is a "fad,"
or a useless appendage to the schools,
or not worth its cost, or any other an
| tagonistic opinion, they are cordially
i invited to attend and take part in the
discussion.
WANTS A nE-TRANSFER.
P. V. Daly In Hlh Knit Against the
Street Railway.
At special term in district court yes
terday Judge Lewis took under con
sideration a motion of the plaintiff to
have the case of P. V. Daly against
the St. Paul City Railway company
transferred to Minneapolis. The action
is one to recover for personal Injuries.
The plaintiff claims that he took on
interurban car by mistake when he
wanted a Harriet car. When he at
tempted to alight at Rice and Uni
versity the conductor closed the gates
and refused to permit him to get off
without paying fare. Consequently ha
was carried against his will to Ray
mond avenue and compelled to walk
to North St. Authony Park. The ac
tion was originally brought in Henue
pin county, but the plaintiff is a resi
dent of Ramsey county and the cvse
was transferred under the statute.
Now Daly wants it retransferred to
Hennepln county for the convenience
of the witnesses.

Dr. Perln, the Noted Palmist, to Be

Dr. Carl Louis Perm, the world-renowned
palmist, Is coming to St. Paul for a week's
stay at the Windsor hotel. Dr. Perm has
created a decided sensation In Minneapolis
during the last four weeks, and has been In
receipt of numerous letters from many prom

pay this city at least a short visit before
leaving this section of the country.
In response to these pressing letters the
doctor baa decided that he win accept the
invitation and as a result he will be in the
city during the next week.
Dr. Perm has had grand success with his
work In Minneapolis, and among his many
patrons was found a large number of the
people of St. Paul, who, fearing that the
doctor would not be able to come to this city
went over to Minneapolis to have their

FORMER REPUBLICAN OFFICE
HOLDERS ARE OPPOSING LEGIS
LATION ASKED BY NEW MEN
WOODCHUCKS OF THEIR OWN
Other* Have Pet M*a*ure« Tbut
PromUe to Feather Their Kent*
for a Long- Time to Come Maj.
Bowler Took a Reef In the Satin
of On* Political Paraaite Who
Tried to "Graft"
Some of the old machine who were
succeeded by the new administration
not satisfied to step down and grace
! fully out, have been trying to block
certain desirable legislation before the
present session. This is particularly
tiue of ihe state dairy and food d«
--i partment. It is claimed that Inspectors
Williams and Snyder, who were in the
department for three terms, d:d every
thing in their power to defeat the bill
| increasing the appropriation for the
department, saying it would give Maj.
Bowler a chance to put in some more
office-holders who would train for 1900.
From this it is evident what us« the
old clique regarded the department
best adapted for. In fact, it is known
that the same rule of desultory in
spections by the old labor bureau, ap
plied in the dairy department. Occa
sionally one of the staff would "get
busy," go out and inspect a dairy at
some convenient place where he had
business or friends. As for the head
of the department he only drew his sal
ary, and at all times Lawrence and a
couple of inspectors were to be found
around the office smoking cigars and
discussing politics. To illustrate the
character of some of the Republican
officeholders, a certain inspector who
was let out by Maj. Bowler sent his
annual pass over the Northern Pacific
to be renewed. His request was made
out on a department letter-head and he
signed his name as "Inspector." Maj.
Bowler nipped the promising scheme
in the bud. There are many other Just
such instances. Long after the new
administration came in Lawrence and
other employes hung around the office
and drew as much pay as possible, and
were loth to give up their jobs.
• • •
The attempt of the tail end of the
Republican machine to make one more
good place for one of its own seems to
be in a fair way to be consigned to
the "woodchuck" graveyard in the
house of representatives. C. A. Rose,
who has been janitor at the state house
for ten years, will doubtless be suc
ceeded by a party man atf.'er the legis
lature adjourns. Rose always stocd in
with the machine, although he never
cut much of a figure hlmse'f. When it
became noised about that the governor
would make a thorough cleaning out of
the Republican barnacles at the state
house, Rose hustled around and got a
bill introduced which would give the
secretary of state authority to appoint
a keeper of public documents. A num
ber of prominent Republicans were
seen and a number went to see Albert
Berg, who, it is said, agreed to give
Rose the place.
For ten years Rose has drawn $100
per month for sitting around and bos
sing the other menials.
• • »
They say that Hiram F. Stevens and
Ed Rogers do not speak as they pass
by. Rogers does not know whether or
not he made a mistake in not sticking
it into Fred Stevens' fifth rib last fall,
instead of saving the present congress
man's official neck and forcing him
self into the clerk of court's office and
emoluments for four years more. Rog
ers likes the money that comes pour
ing into that office as well as any one
who over held it, and just why he
should want to abandon it in the mid
dle of his four-year term in order to
go to congress at $5,000 a year, is a
problem that his friends and foes are
alike trying to solve. Hiram F. Ste
vens, on the other hand, has not offi
cial handicap to overcome his ambi
tion, and his law practice would be
given not a little boom by his congres
tslonal career, possibly. Meantime,
too, Hiram has been quietly laying a
lot of wires that have made him pretty
strong among political workers of large
and small caliber, and he promises to
become a pretty serious rival of the
clerk of the courts. Rogers sees that
if Stevens should get in In 1900, he
would be entitled under the good old
orthodox Republican precedents to a
re-election as a vindication of his
course. After giving Fred Stevens a
vindication under the circumstances
that confronted him last year they
could hardly deny it to Hiram F.
Now this would throw Rogers' pos
sible election for congress away over
into 1900, and leave him out of a job
for the last two years, though he might
save a few pennies now and then per
haps out of his present rake-off of $12 -
000 a year.
So here is where the two schools are
compelled to settle their contest— in
the Kleferverein. Kiefer is here, and
if he hasn't the city organization pretty
well staked out now he ought to have
by the spring of 1900. What does Kie
fer want? Rogers is afraid he wants
to go back to congress, and that is
why Kiefer made a speech at New
Ulm in which he talked about the
greatness of the gubernatorial honor
Rogers and his friends clutched for it
like a drowning man for a straw
"Kiefer for governor in 1900," is the
battle cry of the Rogers contingent.
St. Paul hasn't had the governorship
for a long time anyway." Naturally
with Rogers' friends booming him for
governor, "your mayor," as he looked
out on the snow-clad hills of his beau
tiful city, could not refrain from feel
ing friendly to Rogers.
Eut suppose Kiefer refuses to back
in on the gubernatorial sidetrack as
planned by Yardmaster Rogers, but in
sists on running through to Washing
ton. And suppose that Kiefer and
Stevenp join forces?
That is the prospect that makes the
blood of Rogers run in congestive chills
every time he thinks of it. And he Is
thinking of it frequently now, too.
Ninth warders met at Robert Mc-
Elroy's residence, on Lawson street
and Indorsed Dr. A, W. Whitney for

Some time ago a wave of economy
In municipal expense passed over our
city, in pursuance of which the sal
aries of policemen and firemen were
cut," said a local justice of the peace
yesterday, "but in looking over the '
general expense account, it was found
that the municipal court was a tre
mendous luxury, and that from $6,000
to $7,000 a year could be saved there
by doing away with the civil depart
ment thereof. For Instance, during
the month of February, the revenue of
that branch of the municipal court was
less than $100— while the expense there
of was about $700 for the same period
but to throw dust Into the eyes of the
taxpayers the madames were called
upon to pay a two monthly fine, thus
increasing the revenues of the crim
inal part of said court by nearly a
thousand dollars for that month So
by bunching the two together the court
made a good showing for February,
but if the civil department of that
court had not existed the city would
have been pearly $600 ahead.
But to offset the crusade against the
municipal courts, the gentlemen from
St. Paul and Minneapolis, with some
of the lesser lights of the bar, that
class of lawyers that hang around the
municipal court, like vultures hover
over carrion, have entered Into a con
spiracy against the taxpayers and cit
izens of the two cities generally by
abolishing the only courts that costs
nothing to the commonwealth, and are
least expensive to the litigants, and
are the true courts of the people to
•ettl* minor difference* with each oth-
er without paying the lawyers mor«
than the whole claim is worth.
"Now they bring in a bill to abolish
the Justice courts in the cities of Bt.
Paul and Minneapolis, a bill that is un
constitutional, but that class of law
yers never had any respect for con
stitution or laws of any Kind, and men
like Messrs. Horton and Sheehan are
the leaders in a Kheme that is an out
rage on the community and a whole
sale robbery of the taxpayers for the
benefit of the small fry of the legal
fraternity, a class that never pays any
taxes, nor, in fact, anything else they
can avoid paying, it would Bimply be
the wiping out of all small debts, and
in the end even the pigmies would not
be benefited. They claim that justice
courts are mere collection agencies.
Now the business of all courts, from
justice to supreme, seems to be mostly
in that line, to compel men to pay their
honest dues to their fellow men. But
the municipal court has been used by
that very class of lawyers as a brow
beating and bulldozing machine,
whereby the people were scared into
paying often unjust claims without the
city getting one cent of fees for it.
The blanks of the municipal court have
j been used in garnishments and forcible
: entry and common actions by these
I lawyers, and cases that were never en
■ tered on the court docket were settled
I after service of summons, and neither
j clerk nor Judge ever knew that their
, names were used in such infamous
j manner. The abolishing of justice
courts means an additional expense
on the county for more municipal
judges in their place. Remember the
justice court is no expense whatever
to city, county or state, while every
municipal court will be at least $6,000
a year additional taxes on the over
burdened community.

NO USE
TRYING
I can't take plain cod-liver
oil. Doctor says, try it. He
might as well tell me to melt
lard or butter and try to take
them. It is too rich and
will upset the stomach. But
you can take milk or cream,
so you can take
Scott's Emulsion
It is like cream; but will
feed and nourish when cream
will not. Babies and chil
dren will thrive and grow
fat on it when their ordinary
food does not nourish them.
Persons have been known to gain
a pound a day when taking an
ounce of Scott's Emulsion. It gets
the digestive machinery in working
order so that the ordinary food is
properly digested and assimilated.

PROTECTION AT WAIKEB

All, v Seventh Regiment Soldier*
Are to Be Ordered Away Shortly
— — Return of the Thirteenth May
Be Deferred a Considerable Time
Yet.
Gov. Llr.d yesterday carried on quite
a brisk correspondence over the wires
with the Washington officials, and it
cannot be said that the chief executive
Is particularly pleased with the result.
The governor wired Senator Davis
early in the day, stating that he was
besieged with people urging the return
of tho Thirteenth regiment, and he ask
ed that something might be done to ap
pease the popular demand.
Late te the afternoon a message came
from the Benlor senator as follows:
I have done the b«et I could in that mat
ter with the result, department states that
under existing military condition* in Manila
no regiment can be brought back at present
but that ours will be relieved at the earnest
practical moment consistent with the ritua-
Uon - -C. K. D*vis.
Gov. L4nd believes much, as rffany
of those parsonally interested, In the
regiment do, that the boys only enlist
ed for the war. and the war Is over,
and they should be ordered home. The
governor, discussing the matter yester
day afternoon, said that he 'should
continue to use his best efforts to
have the Minnesota boys pent home
before the wet weather sets In. Th*
governor believes that if tha tJnited
Btates wants to educate and ieflne the
Filipinos it should not be at the ex
pense of good loyal and patriotic Amer
ican boys.
Another matter, which has come to
the attention of the governor of late,
Is the situation at Walkar. He ha*
been approached by numerous peo
ple residing In the locality asking that
the company of regulars be retained
at Walker for some time to come to
restore confidence among the settlers
and protect In the contingency of a
general uprising of the Indians of that
locality.
The governor yesterday wired Gen
Corbin, stating the situation and say
ing it would be much better if a few
troops were left in the state to protect
against the possibility of further depre
dations by the Indians. The following
message came in reply from Gen Oor
bin before th» governor left the office
for the day.
The necessity of caring for government
property in other parts of the country re
quiTee that the companies be taken from Fort
SnelMng at thi* time. The detachment left
at that place will be Increased by selected
recruits as coon as possible.
Gov. Lind has no desire to critlse the
government, but it is evident that be
doeß not like the idea of having the
troops taken from Walker. However
the governor has great confidence in
the state militia and will rely on It
In case of an emergency.
During the afternoon a cablegram
was received by the chief executive
from Col. Ames, of the Thirteenth, an
nouncing the death of Timothy En
right, of Company B, who was killed
by an electric wire accident. No fur
ther particulars are stated. Enright
enlisted at Minneapolis and his parents
live at Grey Eagle. Adjt. Gen. Lam
bert yesterday wired the war depart
ment asking that the remains be
brought back to Minnesota.

BANQUET FOR SCHLEY.
Famonn Admiral la Entertained by
the Five O'clock Club.
PHILADELPHIA, March 11.—Admi
ral Schley was the guest of honor to
night at the annual banquet of the
Five O'clock club, one of the perma
nent mining organizations of this city.
The admiral's speech, in responding
to a toast to Admiral Cervera, was
rapturously applauded. His tribute
to a fallen foe was beautifully ex
pressed, and he paid the highest trib
ute to the character of the Spanish
officers. Admiral Schley expressed his
hearty approval of the law recently
passed by congress reorganizing the
navy. He said this country had at
last followed the example of Russia,
Germany, France and England, and
made it possible for the seamen, by
valor, in adding to the grandeur of
his country to achieve a commissioned
position in the navy. This, he de
clared, will encourage good Ameri
can citizens to enlist in the navy In
greater numbers, there being no posi
tion too high for them to aspire to.
The admiral generally touched upon
the Santiago fight, but he spoke con
vincingly with regard to disputed
points and maintained clearly the
claims that hav e been made in his be
half in connection with the great bat
tre. _
