Seven members of the assembly hustled
through the business last evening and at
8:15 adjourned to attend a performance
at the Metropolitan. The absentees were
Messrs. Albrecht and Kelson.
An ordinance granting R. T. O'Connor,
C. W. Bunn, F. B. Howell. Theodora
Borup and E. A. Young the right to con.
struct and operate a street railway line
waa referred to the committee on streets
without reading. The line is to be con
structed from tha north city limits on th©
following streets: Book street. Prosper
ity avenue, Maryland avenue, Arcado
street, Sixth street, Sibloy street, Ninth
street. Exchange street and Cedar street.
Any motive power except steam locomo
tives Is to be used, the line is not to b»
an elevated one and the franchise is to be
for a period of thirty years. The line
will connect with the one proposed by
the same company, which Is to run from
tho city limits to White Bear lake, and
for the construction of which authority
was asked from the board of county
commissioners.
The resolution directing the proper city
officers to draw a contract between th*
city and the Municipal Signal Company
of Chicago for a new police alarm sys
tem was adopted without objection. Thft
appointment of M. I*. Mclntire as chief
of detectives waa concurred in, as was
also the removal of Patrolman W. H.
Perro. The health commissioner notified
the Assembly that George Butnham had
been appointed milk inspector at $500 peh
year, to succeed G. C. Bowen, resigned,
and this was agreed to. The resolution
allowing John Klein to remodel the build*
ing at 441 and 443 St. Peter street for a
livery stable was sent back to the com
mittee on streets. Assemblyman Ben
son stated that the opposition of prop
erty owners had been withdrawn and
there waa a possibility of an understand
ing being reached which would allow Mr.
Klein to operate a stable in the build
ing.
RISING LAND VALUES.
State Senator SiroUxunih It* Consid
erable of an Optimist.
"Farm lands In Sibley county have ad
vanced fully $10 per acre within the last
twelve months," said former State Sen
ator Theodore Streissguth, of Arlington,
at tho Windsor last night. "The young
men are coming to Minnesota and buying
Western farms; and the immigrant helps
to stimulate the market for rural land.
It seems that this condition is not con
fined to Sibiey county, but exists all over
the Northwest, A year ago good farm
land in tho vicinity of Arlington was dif
ficult to handle at $40, and today $50 Is be
ing asked and given, and a great deal la
changing hands.
"Great Impetus has been given the stock
raising and dairying Industry during the
last three years. During that time I think
dairying has doubled and even tie-Tjled In
importance around Arlington. Indeed we
need it. With wheat at 50 cents the only
salvation for the farmer Is diversity, and
no where docs he secure better results
than from his cows. I am interested in
the creamery at Arlington, and I can say
it has been a great thing for our farm
ers. Every year sees more dairy cows and
perhaps less wheat than the year before.
"When we do get good prices for wheat
the grades are low, and it would seem
that the farmer gets the worst of It all
around. I never saw poorer grading than
during the Letter boom In wheat, and
I have he«n buying wheat for twenty
years. I have no criticism to make on the
present grain inspection. It is no better
or no worse than any other inspection
that we have had in the past."

Work of the Bute I'a.rtlei* whu
Started the Fir© lit Tleruey *
i'o.'n.
What is l»>lit>\i-il to have bt»en a malic
ious attempt to burn out the commission
t'nu of Tlerney & Co., 81 East TMrd
Street, w:is perpetrated shortly before 12
O'etcck yesterday, ;tiul but for tho prompt
action of members of the firm, might
have proven more or leas successful.
Subsequently the same miscreants,
doubtless, stole into the rear of the feed
storeroom and cut open several dozon.
sacks of grain and feed, scattering the
contents recklessly about the floor. About
the same time maliciously-inclined indi
viduals entered the rear of Fliegler &
Co.'s commission store, 97 East Third
street, and here also cut open a number
of sacks of flour, feed and grain.
The evidence of incendlarJsm in con
nection with the fire, Mr. Thomas Tieruey
says, are complete. The fire was discov
ered in a pile of baled hay, near a rear
window. The window is ten feet abovo
the ground, where It could not have been
reached except with something to climb
or stand on, and, leaning against the
wall, was found a short ladder used by
the firm in connection witha high plat
form where their stock is delivered. The
ladder had been carried to the window,
where the guilty person climbed up and
broke out several panes of glass, thus
bringing the baled hay within easy reach.
From the indications, the hay was fired
in several different places, apparently so
that the blaze might spread quickly. The
smoke drifted to the front part of the
store, and Thomas Tierney, together with
several employes gathered In the office,
rushed through the building to locate the
fire. When they reached the rear room
the pile of baled hay was ablaze. The
fire had reached the ceiling, and the
plastering was crumbling: away. A few
minutes longer and the fire would have
been among the rafters. Immediate ac
tion was necessary^ and the windows
were quickly broken out, when an effort
was made to throw the burning bales into
the alley. This proved difficult, as the
bales are heavy, and, wrapped in flame,
were difficult to handle. The task was
finally accomplished, however, and with
the arrival of the fire department the
danger was averted. The loss from fire
Is not serious, as only the outside of the
bales was burned.
The second attempt to Injure the firm
was made shortly before 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. While the employes were busy
in the front part of the store, some one,
believed to have been the same that are
thought to have started the fire, entered
the rear ,of the store and slashed right
and left among the grain sacks with a
knife. The sacks were cut their entire
length, and their contents partially or
wholly dumped out. Shortly after this
new outrage had been discovered, It de
veloped that Fllegier & Co., two doors
below Tierney & Co., had been the vic
tims of a like trick. In FliegJer & Co.'s
store the malielotis Individuals confined
their depredations to sacks of flour, going
through several piles, and slitting open
the sacks, allowing the flour to spill out
on the floor.
The police were notified of what hnd
happened, and Detective Hallo-well was
dispatched to investigate the deprecia
tions. A number of newsboys were found
congregated In the alley back of Tierney
& Co.'s, waiting for the first issue of a
new dally paper. Some of the youngsters
are Bald to have had flour on their cloth
ing, and the patrol wagon was called,
with the intention of arresting the whole
lot of youngsters. This threatened to
stall the sale of the new paper, and the
management asked Chief Getchell to stop
the arrests. This the chief refused to do,
but afterward Detective Hallowell re
ported to the station that Mr. Tierney
did not care to prosecute any of the boys,
and so the patrol wagon went back emp
ty.
Mr. Thomas Tierney says he Is pisltive
that some of the boys set fire to the hay
at noon, and also cut open the sacks
afterward. He says several of the young
sters were bespattered with flour, a fact
sufficient, he says, to at least arouse ths
suspicion that they may have been the
ones who ripped open the flour sacks at
Fliegler & Co.'s store.
BID WAS EXCESSIVE.
So Chris Johnaon Will X&t Build
Sewer ou Greenwood Street.
The board of public works yesterday
rejected the bid of Chris Johnson for the
construction of a. sewer on Greenwood
street on the ground that the bid was ex
cessive. The estimate of the city em
gineer was $175, and Johnson's bid was
$279. The assessment for a sewer on
Plum street was confirmed, the assess
ment being $1.04 per front foot to the
owners. The board decided on an ad
verse report on a sewer on Banfil street, •
from Dousman to Smith avenue. Only
two of the property owners favored the
improvement.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Occupied Attention of a Committee
From the Chamber of Commerce.
The new interstate commerce bill in
troduced by Senator Cullom occupied th»
attention of a committee from the cham
ber of commerce yesterday afternoon in
connection with other matters that were
up for consideration. The committee
comprises Gen. J. B. Sanborn, W. P.
Clough, E. S. Durment and William Pitt
Murray. Mr. Clough has written a
communication to Gen. Sanborn on the
subject which was made the •basis for the
discussion on this measure.
The consular service bill was also the
isubject of considerable discussion. Gen.
Sanborn Is strongly opposed to a life ten
ure of diplomatic positions, while Mr.
Murray is strongly in favor of modeling
our consular service system on that of
other nations who continue the attaches
of legations In office for many years, re
tiring them at last on liberal pensions*.
The committee will report to the chain.

AUDITOR BllilN HAILS CHECKS
SCHOOL, FifNDB FOR THE MARCH
APPORTIONMENT AMOUNT TO
'•' $408,000
Thin Money Wa« Derived, From the
Sul« of School Landi and Interest
on Bond* Owned by the School
Fund,
State Auditor Dunn and State Supt.
Lewis yesterday completed the March
apportionment of school funda amounting
to $408,000. Reports, from county super
intendents give the total school popula
tion eligible to this aid at 326,000. The
distribution is made on a basis of $1.25 per
pupil and is comparatively the largest
apportionment of school funds ever made
In Minnesota. Last March the assistance
given common schools In the spring was
90 cents per pupil, and the year before
It was 10 cents less.
Another apportionment will be made in
October and will foot something like
$750,000. The money apportioned by the
state officers yesterday is derived from
the sale of school lands and interest on
bonds owned by the school fund and the
earnings of school land certificates. Ram
sey county receives $30,565, but this will
not relieve the deficiency in the appro
priation, as this aid is included in all the
estimates that have been made by the
school board.
State Auditor Dunn yesterday mailed

NEARLY 600 HOESES.
Big: Snle by Tlin'et It-ro*. Yeiterdnj-
Afternoon.
Yesterday's ';hors§ auction, held at
South St. Paul under the direction ot
Thuet Bros., was attended by a largo
number of local and country buyers.
The number of horses offered was small
er than usual, but the animals were gen
erally of good quality and the bidding
was spirited. While good prices were
realized for almost everything sold th»
bulk of the horses went at low prices

MAYOR IS ARRAIGNED
GRAVE] ACCUSATIONS ARES MADU
AGAINST HIM BY NINTH WARD
PROHIBITION CLUB
VERY SATURNALIA OF CRIME
They Are li.fl«rr<l to Be the Result
of the Practice of Permitting
Saloons to Remain Open on Sun
tlaj—Open Letter Sent to the
Mayor Asking Him UimnU.mii-
What the Candidate* Are Dotnv.
The Ninth Ward Prohibition club, met
at the Hiawatha flats last evening, adopt
ed the following open letter to the mayor:
In the prohibition territory of our
city, blind pigs are operating In bold
defiance of law, and apparently with your
consent and approbation. On Sundays
the saloons throughout the city are wide
open in flagrant violation of law, and on
Sunday nights within, and often in the
neighborhood of the saloons our city "en-
Joys"' a veritable saturnalia of crime.
The statute Imposes upon you the duty
of enforcing law. You acknowledged the
sacredness and binding obligation of that
duty when you took the oath of office.
The statute does not confer upon you the
right to choose what laws you shall or
shall not enforce. It is mandatory, and
you took the oath with the full knowl
edge of its import.
In permitting the arrogant Invasion of
the undoubted right of the people to a
peaceable Sabbath, and to protection, on
that day, of their boys and girls from
the .stealthy encroachment and insatiable
viciousness of the saloon, are you not
spurning alike the sanctions of public and
private virtue, and the sacred obligations
of plighted honor?
In the election that placed you In your
present position the gambler and preach
er, the saloonkeeper and church member
were your cordial and united supporters.
Of these classes the preachers and church
members compose the majority, and they
have declared again and again their
ardent desire for good municipal govern
ment and strict conformity to law on the
part of the chief magistrate.
In analyzing the motives that actuate
your conduct we are compelled to the
conclusion that you consider these people,
either insincere in their high moral pre
tensions, or that their party fealty ia
so strong as to be unshaken by that os
tentatious disregard of public law that
characterizes your administration.
The notorious contempt of public law
on the part of prominent officials in this
country Is the fatal symptom of anarchy.
If the same spirit animated the mass of
the people, mob rule would result.
It behooves us therefore, to pause and
consider whither we are drifting

A delegation of Sixth ward Democrats

The Heatwole gubernatorial boom re
ceived a new accession of hydrogen yes
terday. George W. Somerville and Dan
C. Hopkins joined with others from the
congressional district represented by Mr.
McCleary in signing a congratulatory
telegram to Congressman J. P. Heatwole,
as follows:
We. the undersigned, hereby congrat
ulate you on the noble and independent
stand you have taken on the Puerto
Rican tariff bill.
We believe that you have by your vote
voiced the sentiment of nine-tenths of the
Republican voters of the state.
We beliove that the people of the state
comprehend the import of this measure
notwithstanding the statement of some
of our congressmen to the contrary.
We confess, however, our inability to
understand the theory that the constitu
tion does not apply to Puerto Rico and
yet that we can legislate for them.
We believe that the bill is indefensi
ble either in justice or from a constitu
tional standpoint.
The occasion of this gratulatory out
burst was the Republican league execu
tive committee, of which the signers were
members. And all this, too, light In tha
face of the fact that Congressman Mc-
Cleary made a speech and voted In favor
of the Puerto Rico tariff bill. It is'quite
evident that, so far as Minnesota Repub
licans are concerned, Joel has dropped
on the right side of the fence.

The state reformatory board will meat
at the Merchants' next Tuesday. It la
quite probable that an effort will be made
by the Houlton partisans to secure an
indorsement of that gentleman's adminis
tration. It Is understood that at a previ
ous meeting the object was forestalled by
objection on the part of the section of
the board that voted for a change from
the first.

While Mayor Kiefer has been promis
ing delegations of women that he was
strongly in favor of appointing one of
the fair sex on the school board, and ru
mor has been rife that Mrs. Conde Ham
lin was to be named, the mayor has been
laughing quietly to himself.
The chapter In the charter providing
for the appointment of a board of seven
school inspectors by the mayor reads as
follows:
"Seven persons shall be appointed by
the mayor of the city of St. Paul as
school inspectors. Each of said school
inspectors shall be a qualified elector of,
and shall have resided in the city for at
least four years prior to the dare of his
appointment."
This much of the chapter would appear
to solve the problem as to whether !he
mayor has the power to appoint a woman
as a member of the school biard. While
Mrs. Hamlin hfts been a resident of (he
city for at least four years, there se?ms
a question as to her being a qualifl d
elector.
No appointments were made yesterday
to the board, and Mayor Kirfor said he
could not say just when the appointments
would be made.
