NOW AN INVESTIGATIONRamsey Grand Jury May Take L'p
Mollie Morris* Case.
The members of the state pardon boardfeel very keenly the scandal aroused by therelease 6f Mollie Morris from the St. Paul\u25a0workhouse. Attorney General Douglasto-day requested County Attorney Kane,of Ramsey county, to present the othercharges against the woman to the grand,jury, in order to secure an indictmentand bring her back from Chicago for trial.
It is quite likely that the grand jury\u25a0will also investigate the manner of herrelease. Fred C. Schiffman, the newlyappointed oil inspector, has written to thecounty attorney asking for an investiga-tion.
F. W. Zollman, former assistant countyattorney, has written a letter defending hiscourse in the Morris case. He claims thatthere was really no evidence against thewoman, and that there was no improprietyin her release, which is made "the subjectof a hue and cry which involves the repu-tation of reputable citizens."
One on Harrison.Mayor Harrison of Chicago says he lays
awake nights thinking how he can givehis city good government. Perhaps that'swhat's the matter with Chicago, themayor is too tired to attend to his longlist of duties. We would advise him totry "Golden Grain Belt" beer to make himsleep well. Brewed from the purest bar-ley malt and hops, it quiets the nervesand produces refreshing sleep. It is alsosparkling and delicious, a beverage thatshould be in every home. If you are out,telephone "The Brewery/ 486 Main.

RAILWAYS DID ITTheir Opposition Doomed New
Brighton Packing Industry.
WERE LOOKING FOR DOUBLE HAUL
Gave Stockmen a Better Rate FromMontana to Chicago Than
to Minneapolis
In the passing of the stock yards atNew Brighton the public is afforded astriking illustration of the manner inwhich a great industry, with every orig-inal advantage of location in its favor,can be wiped out of existence by adverserailroad influences.
Such, in brief, is the history of theNew Brighton stock yards and packing-houses. When this big plant was started,more than a decade ago, it gave promiseof becoming one of the great packing cen-ters of the United States. Thousands ofhead of cattle, sheep and hogs were pass-ing through Minneapolis from the vastranges of the northwest. It was reasonedthat the metropolis and gateway of thenorthwest should be the natural marketand point of distribution of the stock. Itwas purposed to make this city the rivalof Chicago and the superior of Omaha,Kansas City and Cincinnati as a packingcenter.
Local capital readily took hold of theproject when it was first broached in 1887,the Canadian Pacific and Northern Pa-cific roads being particularly interested inmaking this a great live stock market.
! Both roads brought all of their influence
Jto bear to that end. So powerful was theirsupport that for a time, in spite of thegreat boycott imposed by other roads,without whose hearty co-operation therecould be no real or permanent success, itlooked as though the stock yards wouldfaucceed.
Railroads Fought the Enterprise.
The Chicago-Minneapolis roads began tooppose the New Brighton yards from theoutset. Foreseeing the upbuilding of agreat industry here, with their co-opera-tion, they at the same time foresaw thatsuch a condition would mean the doom ofthe immense carrying business, if north-western stock was to be slaughtered inMinneapolis. At first covertly, then open-ly, the roads began to discriminate AgainstMinneapolis in favor of Chicago, so thatit was cheaper for the stock-raiser to sendhis stock to Chicago, a much longer haul,than to this city. That persistent dis-crimination was kept up for years, inspite of the attempts of the North-West-ern road to break the deadlock. Withoutthe assistance of the other big Chicagolines, the odds were too great to be over-
.come. The roads found it too much totheir interests to pull the live animal toChicago and send the carcass back, charg-ing for its transportation both ways.
Inveettora 'Were Game.
In the face of this disheartening draw-back, the Minneapolitans who stood tolose, stayed gamely by their venture. Inthe summer of 1889 they put in still moreextensive improvements at New Brighton.The total cost of the plant at that time,including buildings, trackage and generalequipment, amounted to $1,500,000. Twoimmense packing-houses had been erectedand the yards were operated for someyears. One of the buildings burned andthe other was used for a time by a St.Paul concern. Later it was bought andremodeled by Phillip Schufeldt of St.Paul, who put in improvements estimatedat $11*0,000 in the seasons of 1806-1897.Mr. Schufeldt did business for a shorttime at New Brighton; then he, too, be-came discouraged. To-day, in its finalstate of dissolution, the New Brightonplant is one of the moat modern smallplants in the country. In 1898 the Min-nesota Transfer company bought the BeltLine railroad, which the New Brightoncompany had constructed, and extended itfrom Fridley to Minnesota Transfer. Thesame year the title to the yards, thesewer and water systems and some landpassed into the hands of the Transfercompany. The Stockyards company,through its receiver, sold to the NewBrighton Land company 300 acres, most-ly platted, and 200 acres adjoining Longlake.
The finals of the deal were allbut con-summated last week when the New-Brighton Land company made Fred G.
I James its general manager and sales[ agent, with power to sell any of the landsi or other property at market prices andj close up the business of the company.j Ex-Governor John S. Pillsbury, who hasstood so loyally by Minneapolis throughthick and thin, is president of the com-pany.
Schnfeldt Owns Packing; Homes.
The Schufeldt company still holds thetitle to the packing-houses and the ex-change building, which are now on .themarket for sale. An option has recently-been given on the packing houses. Who isbidding for them could not be learned.What can be the object of securing pos-session of them now is also a mystery.
The Minnesota Transfer company pur-poses to operate tne yards to such anextent as to care for Montana stock onits way to Chicago from July to Septem-ber each year. The use of the Transferfacilities for that purpose will be discon-tinued.
The New Brighton yards are most con-veniently located with regard to easternand western railroad distributing facili-ties.
Minneapolis projectors of the enterpriseand the railroads which backed It lostfully $1,000,000 in the whole transactionfrom beginning to end. About $400,000was the purchase price paid by the Mm- jnesota Transfer company, as opposed to jthe total outlay of $1,500,000.
HENRY GUY"^ARLETON"DEADFather of Frank H. Carleton Dies In
»wport, N. H.
Frank H. Carleton of the firm of Cross, iHicks, Carleton & Cross, left Minneapolis jon Wednesday in response to a telegramannouncing the death of his father, Henry j
| Guy Carleton, at Newport, N. H. Mr. !i Carleton was one of the most prominent1 and highly honored citizens of Newport.1 He was conspicuous for his honesty and j; the stainless character of his life. He was 'born in Buckport, Me., Nov. 30, 1813. Of
his seven brothers and sisters only one isi living, Mrs. George Pillsbury of Minne- i! apolis.
i Mr. Carleton was descended from a lineof distinguished Englishmen. He becamea resident of Newport in 1832, and en-
I tered the office of the Newport Spectator.
'' In 1840 he became a part owner of the': New Hampshire Argus and Spectator,which was conducted by his firm for near-ly forty years. They also issued during
, several campaigns, "The Whip and Spur."Mr. Carleton was at various times regis-ter of deeds, register of probate, memberof the state legislature, director of banks,and president of the Newport savingsbank. He was a prominent Mason.
NO FAVOR FOR ONE'HALF CTS.Minneapolis Merchants Don't Care
for Smaller ( uinx,
There was a time in the history of Min-neapolis when a nickel was the smallestpiece of money in circulation, but graduallyit came about that storekeepers would lookat a cent with less disdain than formerly,and finally the use of the cent is so com-mon that there is a greater demand thansupply. In New York city the line hasbeen drawn even finer and now the bigdepartment stores are agitating the coin-age and use of a one-half cent piece.
This agitation has not reached Minne-apolis and the department stores herecharacterize the movement as foolish. Itis the custom of the stores in this city togive and take, that is, if a half wastaken of each of several different cloths,the store would take the first half cent andgive the customer the benefit of the other,and in the long run it would amount to thesame as if the customer were put to thetrouble of carrying around a lot of halfcents. No store in town cares enoughabout the half cent move even to give it ahit of commendation
MICPAELWHELANRESIGNSOLD WAR HORSE HAS ENOUGH

Captain Michael Whelan, assistant su-perintendent of the workhouse, will co-operate with the board of ; charities andcorrections "in the i work of regenerationof the affairs of that institution by re-signing, thus leaving his superior in com-plete possession of the field for the timebeing. ; Captain Whelan \u0084.-. informed theboard of his willingness to get out at thespecial meeting held in the mayor's officeyesterday afternoon. " Acting upon hisdeclared intention, t the board Ithereupondeclared the position of assistant super-intendent vacant. .:—- . , 1
Captain Whelan," however, in "the samebreath with his resignation, preferredcharges of malfeasance in office againstSuperintendent >Hagmen, and the samewill be given a hearing at another specialmeeting, to be held to-morrow afternoonin the mayor's office. " ' .'. \| It was \u25a0 decided to abolish the positionof assistant superintendent, and. give thesuperintendent a clerk instead." AndrewHoben was , named *for. the place. r
llaKinun Charge* Not Proven.The committee appointed to investigate
the charges against Superintendent Hag- jman reported to the board at yesterday's !session, the report declared that there!were not sufficient grounds to warrant hisremoval from office at this time. In thecourse of the meeing the two principalsmet in the outer room of the mayor'soffice and forthwith proceeded to engagein a wordy altercation. Captain Whelanwas anxious to settle scores with his chieftnen ana there, but the latter refused toengage in a mix-up.
The Hagman-Whelan investigation wascarried on behind closed doors, as usual.Later the board held an open session atwhich it considered matters pertaining tothe new hospital. T. B. Janney of the citi-zens' committee that raised $25,000 forthe erection of a quarantine hospital anda contagious disease ward at the city hos-pital, reported that there was $8,000 leftin the fund for the latter purpose, andthat the committee could raise enoughmore to erect the second building. Thematter will be taken up again at to-mor-row's meeting.

There were wheels of fortune where onemight win a collar button if he were re-markably lucky, and where, as one of thepresiding geniuses put it, "you lose everytime you win."
The stage perofrmance, consisting of mu-sic, general vaudeville, etc., was excellent,but the best is yet to come. Great in-terest was taken in the voting contests,and at the close of the evening the scorestood:

i Chocolate machines, which are reportedto be on the verge of revolutionizing the

AI Paris of the Paris-Murton WholesaleCandy Manufacturing establishment,' says |that while there, are chocolate drop ma-chines, it has been imposible to improvethem to such an extent that they can turnout first-class goods. He says flatly the

The statutes require the notice' to be published once in each of two sue- j| cessive | weeks in . a designated newspaper,| the first publication to be at least fifteen;days before the sale. The notice for theisale of May 4, 1896, was published six timesin one week, the first publication only six
i days before the sale. The loss to theicounty by this decision will be great, but
I there are no means at present of ascer-! taining the amount. : \u25a0 ' ii _—_^_^__«^_^___^^___

The Victoria Burlesquers are : providingabundant entertainment for the Dewey's pat-rons this week. Two big burlesques are of-

TAVERN TALKA. H. Nokemeyer, banker, of Churches
Perry, N. D., Is at the Nicollet. Mr. Nolte-meyer's home is in the western part ofRamsey, the home county of Senator Hans-brough.
"Senator Hansbrough is a candidate to suo-ceed himself two years from now," said Mr.Noltenieyer, "and North Dakota politiciansare beginning to line up for the fray. I seethat he has already secured the Indorsementof Colonel Lounsberry and Major Edwards,the two military men of title in the news-paper profession. Hansbrough and his man-agers were very successful four years agoin doing away with all opposition, and thesenator will probably use the same tacticsagain. Senator Hale of our county is a holdover. He will undoubtedly vote for Hans-brough. He wa# elected after a hard fight.In the election of the two representativesfrom his home district, or rather in thenominations, the senator will find every inchof the ground bitterly contested. The fac-tions in Ramsey county politics, which havebeen against him for some time, will be Inthe convention ready to turn a trick againsthim. Four years ago the senator was electedwithout much help from his home districtand he may be able to land again, but he lain for a fight."
"Senator Pettigrew will be home in thespring," said D. H. Cambell, banker, ofBrookings, S. D., "and that will probably endhis political career so far as the people ofSouth Dakota are concerned. The result ofthe last election tshows that Pettigrew isfar from popular. His vote in the legislaturethe other day was just half of the majoritythat he claimed before election. I have livedin the state for twenty years. We havealways had a factional fight of some kind inthe republican ranks. It has so happened thatthe faction w.hich contained Pettigrew wasnot my faction. When Pettigrew l«ft theparty or the party left him, I believe that theprobability of factional rows was lessened.The senator will probably make one more tryfor the senate two years hence and quit. Itis not in the cards for him to win. SouthDakota is as safely republican from now onas lowa. Most of the old farmers' allianceare back in the fold, and it will be yearsbefore we see another wave of that kind, ifwe ever do. For the first time in years wesuoceeded in electing a solid republican legis-lative delegation from our county last fall,and the same is true of many other coun-ties."
North Dakotans who recently visited thecity believe that Consul General Bray ofMelbourne will visit his old home in theflickertail state during the coming summer.Mr. Bray came from Grand Forks and hasbeen making an excellent record as consulgeneral.
Professor A. D. Games of Minneapolis, whohas been looking after his real estate in-terests in western North Dakota, te alsopreparing to do some immigration work forOliver county in that state. Oliver countyhas a large amount of farming and grazing:land underlaid with coal. The postofflce de-partment will be requested to establish sev-eral new mail routes.
R. I». Elder of Lisbon is ill in his room atthe St. James. Mr. Elder arrived In the citySunday and was taken with grip yesterdayafternoon. He is an old soldier and is beinglooked after by several of his old comrades.
J. E. Truesdale of Owatonna is visiting inthe city. Mr. Truesdale has been a resi-dent of Owatonna for thirty years. He didnot help drive the Indians out, but he ar-rived there soon after. "Our people wouldhave been pleased to have seen Evans electedsenator," said Mr. Truesdale, "but as it isthey are satisfied with Clapp and they aregratified to see the job done so quickly." Mr.Truesdale, who is well known in North Da-kota, bears much resemblance to John Millerof Duluth, formerly governor of North Da-kota, and Miller has been declared a gooddouble for ex-President Grant. But Grantand Truesdale lined up for comparison onceand the latter says the resemblance was veryremote.
George S. Montgomery of Wahpeton, N. D.,is at the St. James. "North Dakota is solidlyrepublican from n»w on," said Mr. Mont-gomery. "The people who came into thestate in the last three years came from dis-tricts where they had been taught the wis-dom of republican doctrine. The republicanorganization is in shape to bold this newvote in line."
J. Hughes, one of the prominent ranoh own-ers of Brandon, Man., is in the city. "West-ern Canada is developing rapidly," said Mr.Hughes. "People are pouring into that coun-try from all parts of the continent. Thereare many arrivals from this state and theD"akotas. Many of these later arrivals aregoing into stock raising. The big stratoh ofcountry west of Brandon is well adapted forraising stock and is being rapidly utilizedfor that purpose. We ship east and west.Our eastern market is Montreal and many ofthe shipments west are consigned to the goldcountry, principally Dawson City. Americangoods, especially shoes, are obtaining recogni-tion in the Canadian market."
P. Holen, merchant, Is here from Argyle,Minn. Mr. Holen says that the people ofthat section of the state were.given a goodenough object lesson on the need of drain-age last fall and will have more of it thisspring.
H. C. Misner, merchant, of Euclid, Minn.,is at tlia Nicollet. Mr. Misner states that thefarmers of his part of the state will be satis-fied if granted a fair show to get their seed4n right this spring. The fall weather wascontrary and even harvesting was attendedby difficulties. Several of the larger farmsaround Euclid are being carved into smallertracts and sold to new comers from the east
W. E. Powell of Grand Harbor, N. D., isat the Nicollet. "Ramsey county expects abig share of the immigration for that part ofthe state," said Mr. Powell, "and her busi-ness men are preparing to nail all of it thatthe can. The amount of new land which willbe broken for crop this spring in that partof the «*ate is very large."
C. H. Hooker of Wausau, Wis., is at theWest. Mr. Hooker is interested in railroadcontracts. There are some extensions plannedfor Wisconsin this year, he says. One is onthe North-Western from Antigo to Merrill.
"Among Those Preaent."Edgar Anderson, attorney, of Crary, N. D.,
