Up to and including the 30th of May there had been paid and up to last night over SL 100.000. In May, 1888, there was paid $186,709.

There are no set of working men who can dictate their own terms more successfully than the stonecutters. Their latest move is interesting. Last fall the journeymen stonecutters notified their employes that from June 1, 1889, they would demand $4 per day wages and that -eight hours was to constitute -a day's -work.

This the employers have agreed to. Three years ago the stonecutters -worked ten hours per day and re- ceived 45' cents per hour. In order to reduce the day's work to eight hours wages were "dropped to 40 cents per hour. The wages were raised to 45 cents two years ago. and now 1 they are increased to 50 cents per lioifiy i Watertown Dooming.

Now is the time. Go on the special train to-night at 8:30 via the Minneapolis St. Louis THERE'S MANY A SLIP The Dulifch Winnipeg Suffers Another Stroke of 111 Luck. Railroad Commissioners Will Not Countenance an Increase of Capital. Sheriff Bean Will Move Against Squatters on the Bohemian Flats To-Morrow.

Dr. Daniel W. Hand Succumbs to an Illness of Long Duration. The promoters of the Duluth Win-, nipeg Railroad company haVf struck an extraordinary vein of hick. Tt was thwarted in its efforts to get a bill through the legislature confirming itsclaim.totlie notorious land grants, but not before the legislature itself had sunk to the lowest depths of bribery and corruption.

The company, is now threat ened another danger. Several months ago it applied to the state railroad commissioners for authority to increase its capital stock by There were substantial reasons for this increase; the one which loomed most prominently was that the cost of the building of the road had been enormously heightened by certain deviations agreed upon in the original plans. Twenty miles of the line have been built, and the material used is of the i best description another cause for the necessity of more money being raised. The commissioners took plenty of time consider the question, which was thoroughly ventilated by the applicants' attorney. The result was that in May last the announcement was made that the railroad commissioners had decided to grant the application.

A brighter prospect at once opened for the Duluth Winnipeg road, as, with the sinews of war, the company would be better able to thoroughly guard its interests. The imperative necessity tor this is gleaned from a recent announcement that the land grants of the company were shortly to be fought in the supreme court, its right to them being doubted as well as their forfeiture being alleged. But the ray of prosperity which appeared to shine on the fortunes of the Duluth Winnipeg company is to be only short-lived. Though the railroad commissioners announced the application for an increase of stock had been granted, they have not yet signed the order by which the company can alone proceed under. And, worse still, it is very unlikely that the commissioners will sign the order.

reason has been assigned for the change of front on the part of the commissioners, but the friends of the Duluth Winnipeg road are naturally very indignant. They allege that they are being unfairly treated in this matter, and the next month threatens to produce developments of a lively, if not sensational character. There is one thing certain the Duluth Winnipeg company will make the air intensely warm in that part of the senate chamber occupied by the railroad commissioners. BEAN MEANS BUSINESS. Squatters on Bohemian Plats Must Skedaddle or Be Evicted.

The squatters on the Bohemian flats are moving off quietly and peaceably, says Sheriff Bean. Several families have taken Up homes elsewhere and others are. following their example. Thirty al! have been asked to navigate from" the land, and from present indications they intend go, save 'or; three. Among these few who intend stay until forced to leave at the end a gun, there is a defiant saloonkeepers who would sooner fight than surrender his grogshop.

This demonstrative fellow is inciting as many of fellows as he can to riot, and urges them to stand pat upon their claims. But when the strong arm of the law, enforced by-such powerful giants as. Sheriff "Rube" Clewett, gets a yank at this combative Polander no one need fear that the flat gentry will do any' serious damage. Moritz Heim, who institutes the such it will have to for the syndicate, is gradually being dubbed by the Bohemians, Poles and Italians as the American Balfour. If the squatters are not gone by to-morrow noon Sheriff Bean's men will move them.

DR. HAND DEAD. The Well-Known Physician Succumbs to Bright's Disease, About 8 o'clock last night death relieved the sufferings of Dr. D. W.

The Public Examiner Warns County Boards to Obey the Law. Public Examiner Kenyon, in a circular to county auditors, issued yesterday, says: I wish to call your attention to the expenditure of county, funds for roads and bridges. In many counties it appears to have become a settled practice for tne county boards to authorize the several msmbers to expend certain sums within their districts, and when the work is done or materials purchased, the custom has been for the commissioner supervising the expenditure to give, orders for the amounts, due, and upon i presentation of these orders, auditors have issued warrants for immediate payment. This practice is clearly a violation of the provisions of section 89 of- chapter 8, General Statutes 1878, as construed- by-Attorney. General Wilson (page 34; Opinions; Att'ys General).

I think that alter a careful consideration the that you and the boards of commissioners will arrive at the same conclusion, and if so, it will not be necessary for this office to order a discon- as I am satisfied that you will agree with me that an officer's duty is to comply with and enforce the law under which he is acting. The commissioners of Ramsey county can, with advantage, "read, mark, learn and inwardly digest" this circular. SABBATH OBSERVANCE. The W. C.

An Oriental Palace in St. Paul. Iskender Bey, formerly of the imperial palace of the sultan of Turkey, affords the citizens lof St.

Paul 'the privilege of seeing at their home a col-: lection of high art goods direct from Persia and the Turkish empire, representing Oriental splendor and magnificence of proverbial repute.

RELIEF. "Honest John" Roche finds no relief in his appeal for a new trial in the case, and his motion to set aside the proceedings upon which original writ of mandamus was issued as incomplete and irregular was 'wholly denied. The case was argued -before Judge Vilas a week ago by H. J. Horn for Mr.

Roche and "'Mr. Fauntleroy, for Mr. McCardy. As then stated in the the judge stated from i the bench the court saw no objection 7 -why' the' judgment be set aside because the court minutes were slightly incomplete and hardly showed a record of any formal trial: The facts of -a case are not altered in any way by their history, be that correct or incorrect, and it be- ing the proceedings of the court which caused the making of the writ upon a petition properly argued and submitted and due cause shown to the court why such a writ should issue against Roche, the same was then and there ordered by the court. When the motion for a new trial was argued there was nothing new in the case which caused the court to withhold its decision, save the question of the" power to go back and upon the findings of fact at the original trial, order the minutes corrected.

The court notes in its decision: It is ordered that the motion of the: relator be granted, and that the formal written find- ings of the court be. allowed and filed nunc pro tune, as of March 27, 1889; that the judgment heretofore entered be amended nunc pro tune to conform to the written de- cision of the court, so that said relator judgment therein against said defeudant for said peremptory writ ol mandamus, and that the same issue to said relator against said defendant as city comptroller, and that said alternative writ be made peremptory in ad' dition to the judgment already entered. The clerk of the court is ordered to modify and amend the record of the judgment and the docket of the judgmeut to conform to this order: and that he attach this order to the judgment roll filed herein as so modified.
