SUARDSMEN APATHETIC.
LACK OF INTEREST IS RESPONSI
BLE FOR SBVKKAI. MUSTEiRS-Ol'T.
! Ever since the close of the Spanish-
American war there seems to have betn
a lack of interest in national guard af
fairs, particularly in the larger cities
of the state, and the apathetic condition
of things Is haying a demoralizing efte.t
among the different companies of the va
rious regiments. '}. .. ..:...'
The above is the substance of a state
ment made by Adjt. Gen. Libbey yes
terday afternoon just as he was about
to start for Duluth. where he will muser
out Company G. of the Third reg nt,
because of this lack cf interest. It was_
only last week that Company A, of ihe
Fourth regiment reserved, of St. Paul,
was mustered out for the same reason,
and hints are coming from other cities
to the effect that there is difficulty m
keeping up the quota of. the various
companies. Te adjutant general is dis
appointed with the condition 'of thia°s
and he took his departure hurriedly yes
terday without making any previous an
nouncements to the regimental officers in
Duluth, so that he might have the op
poitunity of making, investigations : as
to the status of the Duluth companies
when, they are least expected. Speak ng
of national guard affairs yesterday, Gen.
I,il>bey said: ' "$ "
"The situation is rather peculiar ju3t
at present. In the larger cities it is
hard to keep the companes going, while
on the other hand there have been num
bers of requests for companle3 in small
towns. During the war the Twin Cities
and Duluth furnished a large quota of
the volunteers who left this state. When
these soldiers came back they seemed to
feel that the national guard was 'too
tame' for them and have displayed little
interest in its affairs. Ido not think
this is the. proper spirit to show and I
am anxious to have the national gaard
regiments prosper."
Preparations are now under way for
the encampment of the various regiments
at l.akeview. Col. Bobleter, of the Sec
ond infantry, has asked that his regi
! ment be allowed to hold camp from Juiy
Bto 17. The additional appropriation of
the legislature this year for the banelit
of the guard will allow each regiment
to camp for ten days. The improvement
work at the camp has already com
menced.
Peter Julius Hagenson, first lieutenant,
Comapny A, Third regiment, Duluth, has
requested to be placed on the retired
lsit.
FILES ITS ANSWER.
STREBT RAILWAY COMPANY OB
JECTS TO INCREASED ASSESS
MEIXT.
The St. Paul City Railway company
has filed*its answer and objections in the
district court to the proceedings to col
lect the personal property delinquent tax
for the year 1900.
The company made a return to the
county assessor fixing the value of its
personal property at $1,060,060, and this
return was accepted by the assessor and
the board of equalization. The stat«
board, however, raised the figures to $2,
-IUO.OOO, and County Treasurer Metzdorf
thereupon demanded the payment of
taxes on that amount, assessing the com
pany $43,141, as against $24,101, the amount
•fiie by its own valuation.
February the company prof erred
to County Treasurer Metzdorf a check
for $24,101.19 for the tax, but this was re
fused by the county treasurer, who de
manded the sum of ?43,141.19, and charged
up a penalty of $4,314.12 on the amount.
In its answer the city railway company
demands judgment; that the court re
strain the clerk of court from issuing
his warrant to the sheriff, and that the
assessment be declared void, and that
the entries on the books of the county
officers be changed and proper entries of
the legal assessment, as returned, be
made.
SUSPECTS LOCKED TJP.
Police Secure Fonur Suspicions Cliar-
aelers for Recent Hold-t'im.
Four suspects In connection with the
recent hold-ups and burglaries are lodged
at central station, awaiting identification.
The police suspect that three of them
were concerned in the waylaying and
robbing of Edwin McClcad at Tenth and
Minnesota streets Saturday night. They
are Jerry McCarthy, Jack Scott and
"Buzz" Keliher. all of whom have been
living at 64 Park place.
McCarthy finished a five-year term at
Stillwater last May, having been s-ent up
for highway robbery committed in Min
neapolis. Keliher has served time for
burglary, and Scott was sent to the re
formatory for having been implicated
in a robbery. Scott also pleaded guilt/
to robbing the store of J. H. Donahue,
on Selby avenue, and was given a long
workhouse sentence.

TORN UP
PROPERTY OWNERS OBJECT
It to Clninied That th« Maiiufactur
In s Interests Would Suffer Great
ly if Mr. Wheeler's Ordi
niiiu-i' I'n.saeft. -
Assemblyman Wheeler's ordinance di
recting the Omaiha Railway company to
take up its tracks laid on Spring street,
from St. Peter to Eagle streets, came up
for an airing before the committee on
streets at its meeting late yesterday aft
ernoon, and caused consld'erable discus
sion.
When the franchise was Riven to the
St. Paul Warehouse and Elevator com
p&n-y, yeara ago, to build its elevator and
warehouse on the south side of Third
street, near St. Peter street, the elevator
company was given the right to build this
piece of track on Spring street. The ele
vator, it will be remembered, burriied
down some years ago, and since thai
time, it is claimed, the Omaha has been
-using* the track for its own traffic. As
semblyman Wheeler, in Introducing tn«
ordinance, contended that the elevator
company had no right to transfer its
franchise for the track to the railway
company, and is of the opinion that the
company should get permission from tn«
council to use the track.
Mr. Rice, of the Minnesota Soap com
pany, and Mr. McMillan, of the ■ Mc-
Millan Elevator company, appeared be
fore the committee and asked that tn«y
make a favorable report on the orc!iii>a.n<;e.
Their object for so doing, they said, was
that they wanted to have a wagon roaa
built from Eagle street to the lower
levee at Jackson street if It could" b«
done. As it was at the present time, tney
had to haul their loads by way of Hilt
street to Third street, which is a round
about way.
PROPERTY OWNERS PROTEST.
S. E. Day, representing the owners of
the property abutting Spring street, en
tered a strong protest against hay h« ~th«
track taken up, and presented a petition
signed by nearly all of the property own
ers on the street in question protesting
against the passage of the ordinance. Mr.
Day contended that the tracks were very
valuable to the manufacturing interests
along this street, and suggested that It
neoessary some arrangement should be
made with the railroad company to give
them permission to use the tracks.
Mr. Ames, of the West Publishing com
pany, was also present, and asked the
committee not to pass the ordinance di
recting the taking up of this track on
the ground that it was valuable to the
manufacturing 1 Interests on the street. He
stated that the one main reason that
Induced his company to locate thefc- busi
ness where It is at the present time was
the fact that thia track ran along Spring
street.
The assistant corporation attorney stat
ed to the committee that under the fran
chise given the elevator company they
had no right to transfer their rights to
the same to the railway company, and
that he believed, with Assemblyman
Wheeler, if the railway company was
going to continue to operate these tracks,
it should get some kind of permission
to do so.
The matter was finally referred to a
subcommittee, consisting of Assembly
men Wheeler and Warner and the city
engineer and corporation attorney,-to in
vestigate. Th« committee will most like>ly
try and come to some agreement with
the railway company.
The proposition of making a wagon
road from the upper levee to the lower:
levee was also discussed In connection '
with this matter, but the committee
found that in order to make this road
they would have to excavate under the
Wabasha street bridge, and it ts thought
this would cost more money than the
improvement would benefit fhos* wl»o de- '
sire it.

; Members of ,vthe citizens' committee j
were present and Chairman J. W. Cooper
presented, the report. After receiving !
the report the commissioners went into
executive, session to consider the different
i propositions..;, ... .■ <••;.;
The committee, in making its report,
especially recommended the old St. Paul
elevator site, on the southwest corner! of
Third and St. Peter streets, near the
West Publishing company. In executive
session all of the ' commissioners unani
mously disapproved of this site on the
ground that the cost of construction J
would be too much owing to the grading
that would have to ;be done.
After struggHng^with the propositi:n in
executive session/for over an hour the
committee " instructed County Architect
Donahue to make, an estimate as to the
difference, in tfteeoet of erecting the new
jail on the following three sites: Third,
Fourth and St. Peter streets; Northwest
corner of FlfWahd Cedar streets; south
east corner o£ Fifth and Cedar streets.
The architect instructed to have the
estimates ready to submit to the board
of county contrhissioners at an adjourned
meeting to b^^heijd at 4 o'clock Thursday

There seems)- to a sentiment in favor
of the site.. bounded by Third, Fourth ani
St. Peter streets,- where the old market
formerly • waa-aira , which: is known as
the Tarbox property,; On the other hand,
however, there is' a sentiment that this
district is a comjjog".'retail center will

Cbaniber of Commerce Committee
Ha.s Xo Recomnicndnllons to Make. :
H At a meeting of ".the Chamber of'Com-*. ,
merce yesterdax mojcmlng committee 7 !
on municipal : affairs, made the follow- 1
ing—report' in' regard to the -pf&posed
change of site- for the new jail:" ;'",v:';'
"To the Board'of Directors of the Cham- I
ber of Commerce— Uhe last meeting of i
the chamber follow.ing resolution was j
adopted: Z;;::'\.;'~. JC" :• ; -,• . -
- "Resolved, That the committee on mv-
Dicipal affairs-be instructed to consider
the question j'of^a> change in Hhe site of
the Jail and report to this body whether
. .their opinion, expressed in • their former
report with regard fto the jail being ilo
cated':on.:the.:present.' site, should be
changed;, and, that the ."committee, confer
with the county commissioners and ascer-
tain .whether- the work could be delayed
Without additional -cost until the com
mittee can make its report." . ...
In accordance with the instructions of
the resolution, —the- committee has con
sidered the Question and has : conferred
with the county commissioners and re
port: ■ '"'••■- •-'": .
: First—That they find that the work can
be delayed without additional cost for a
reasonabl'3time;;i" ■ ■'■' "
Second—Thalt leport made last
November, recommendins that anew jail
be built, and^-iipdn -the present site, in
' which all the other commerlcal bodies of
the city coincided, was based upon the
| supposition thltt'the probable cost of th-5
building, comp^e, would be about $100,
--000. . Had thpy\3s#ppbsed that . the cost
would be ■ $16^,-^oo;aks ;iz if? now shown jto
be, with an additional expense of $]O,COO
cr ?12,000 for furnishing temporary quar
ters for the prisoners, .'they would -not
have made recommendation that the
1 jail should by built at the present time,
j but a chang-e_in recommendation is
I row too late.
There is rid-~ change in the conditions
or situation or opnciderations that led
the committee to lecommend that the
.iail be placed upon the present site,
except that the probability now is that
the county would have authority under
th ye law to issue bonds Tor the purchase
of a sit©, whereas, at ins time the pre
vious report was made, the opinion had
been given by the county attorney that
the county would not have such author
ity, and also, on the other hand, that
if the building should be located on an
other site, the exrense of making the
change would bo increased, but to what
extent your committee is unable to form
any definite opinion.
A committee of citizens appointed by
a meeting of quite a large number of
citizens and taxpayers are giving atten
tion to this whole matter and have rec
omwended to the county commissioners
that another site be selected, and have
been "authorized by them to submit prop
ositions for different sites, not more than
six, at the adjourned meeting of the
board of county cemmigsioners to be held
en Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
This committee of citizens is giving
active and Intelligent attention to the
whole subject, and your committee re
spectfully ioports that they have no rec
ormrendation to make, and ask to be re
lieved from further consideration of the
matter.

, John Joyce, who lives at 1077 East
Sixth street, owns a goose which, he may
be obliged to put under bonds. In a
complaint made by Mrs. Joseph Riley,
next-door neighbor, it is alleged that the
goose complained of is a large and vicioua
bird of mean disposition and of incorri
gible ways; that said goose doe-3 with
vicious purpose and intent lie in wait
for the coming 'of complECintant's-Hve
year-old daughter and without warning
does pounce upon and cruelly assault said
daughter unto exhaustion, and that said
assaults have occurred to the number of
three times, until now it is no longer safe.
or wise for said daughter to venture upon
the street without first being assured
of the whereabouts of the 'ar^re and
vicious goose herein described and com
plained of.
The city prosecuting attorney inquired
of Mrs. Riley as to which she desir<d
placed under arrest, the goose or the
owner. If the goose, he advised her to
wait until some new appointments were
made in the police department, and in
having the arrest made the department
could try a revised version of the "thief
catch-thief" maxim. The lady opin-id
that it would not be necessary to wait
for new appointments to make a test of
that kind.
Not successful In securing a warrant
for the arrest of the belligerent goose,
the latter will be permitted to go on
making its dastardly assaults and Mrs.
Riley thinks that the laws are strange
and insufficient.
FULLERTON IS PLEASED
RECENT GAME LAWS WIIJL. AMPLY
Vi^T: PROTECT THE STATE.
Executive Agent Samuel Fullerton, ci
the state game and fish commission, is
highly pleased at the game laws enacted
by the last legislature, and saya that
from henceforth there will be no more
pot hunting in Minnesota. The ship
ment or the sale of an; kind of wild
game at any season of the year ,is now
prohibited, and*this, l.c thinks, wui stop
hunting, v because if a hunter cannot sell
what he kills he will get tired oi kill
ing. Speaking of the new laws he said
yesterday: !
"We are well backed by Uncle Sam,
for it is a . felony to ship game out of
any state whose laws prohibit it, and

Poorly?
That's often the case this
time of year. Hardly sick
enough to have a doctor, yet
miserable all the time.
Of course, if you are right
hard sick, you should call
your physician at once. Even
now that ypu are only half
sick, why not ask him about
your taking Ayer's Sarsa
parilla this spring?
He knows it's the strong
est, safest, purest, and best
Sarsaparilla you can buy,
and he will probably tell you
that for general debility and
nerve exhaustion it is the
best thing you can take.

i. C. A YER CO., Lowell, Matt.
the commisison men do not care to fool
with the government. If the laws con
tinue to be enforced we shall have game
in Minnesota for all time to come. It
wearies me to hear this talk aibout game
laws being for the rich man and depriv
ing the poor man of his rights. The
rich man can go anywhere he pleases
and hunt and fish. We are saving the
game and fish so that poor men can have
hunting and fishing right here in tha
state for all time to come."
The Ferris biil will put a total stop to
the sale of venison in the state. Deer
may now be killed from Nov. 10 to Nov.
30, and moose from Nov. 15 to 20. The
Mailicke bill prohibits the sale or ship
ment of ducks at any time year. The
trout season has been changed, opening
April 15, instead of May 1, and closing

GOOD BILL AT EMPIRE.
Manager Wcl»hol«er Secures Paris-
ip.'ii Belle* Barlesqaers.
The patrons at the Empire theater
yesterday were given an exceptionally
good show by the Parisian Belles Gay
Burlesquers, one of the leading vaude
ville companies on the road, and Man
ager Weinholzer is to be complimented
in securing this aggregation of fun mak
ers for this week.
The opening and closing burlesques of
the performance are very well presented
by the strong company of artists, and
are full of funny sayings and catchy
music. "My Geisha of Tokio," as sung
by Irene Powers and company, calls for
several encores, and is well rendered. A
feature of the olio are Burt Bohannan's
spectacular electrical song pictures Tn
connection with May Corey in descrip
tive songs. Pauline Westerly in pretty
songs and dances and Irene Powers in
comic songs are both good and quickly
became favorites. Charles Payne, as the
circus tramp, is also good, and the clever
wprk of Afburtus, who juggles anything
he lays his hands on, is another feature
of the olio. •

AGREEMENT IS LIKELY.
Master Bander's and I hlozi Men Wilf
Probably Came Together.
There is but littte question that thf

aittsrences within the next two or th--^
days. Botr. sides recognize tl-« ijSLI
that a mistake was made when the luck.

council the union men. resumed on sev<
eral of the larger locked-out jobs yesten

work.

GIVISX TO RAILWAY COMPANY.
Pavilion Privileges to Harriet Park
Are Grnnted.
At a meeting of the park board yester
day afternoon the committee on privi
leges and entertainments submitted a re
port in favor of renewing the pavilion
contract with the street railway company
for a period of five years. In considera
tion of this the company is to deed to the
board eighteen lots adjacent to the picnic
grounds, and the park board is to _^ay
the company profits from the boat re
ceipts not to exceed $1,500 per annum.
As a paramount consideration, so far
as the public is concerned, t*ie railway
company is to furnish a quant ty of muslo
equal to that discoursed b>T'the BanJa
Rosa.
Petition for \>w Paths; : ri* •
Hennepin county commissioners, at
their meeting yesterda3', received two pe
titions asking that oountry paths bo
built. One la for the much talked of path
to Anoka, by way of Robbinsda'e and Os
seo. The second petition asks that the
commission acclque the old. Great North
ern roadbed which leads . to Excelsior.
This roa<lb«si has been abandoned nnj
can be used for nothing but a cycle path
Should this plan go through there is a
possibility of the path along the Minne
tonka boulevard being abandoned The
one strong argument in favor of the new
route is the fact that the farmers along
Mmnetonka boulevard have persisted In
driving on and allowing thetr cows to
overrun the path, and thus bringing a
great expense to the county.
