«c»NOW FOR BUSINESS.

Graduating iOvi-rclses of .Prof. Boe-iiis«'li's ("lass at Mozart Hall.

At Mozart hall an audience of morethan a thousand people gathered to hearthe graduating exercises of Boenisch's*Commercial college. Gov. Lind made anaddress and Mayor A. R.-Kiefer distrib-uted the diplomas. Twenty-three youngmen and women comprised the graduat-ing class. The key to success and wealth,the mayor said, was represented by thesediplomas. With them the young peoplewere sure of an entrance to the businessworld, an entrance to the best businesscircles, where success was sure to follow.Ho called attention to the need of trainedoffice men and women for the great fac-tories and business houses, and said thatthe commercial college was now one ofthe most important educational institu-tions of the contry.

"The Value of Education" was thetheme of Gov. Land's address. Educationwas not only a knowledge of Latin andGreek, but rather a training of the earand the eye and the mind. Training thatgave the receiver, the power of thinkingand

: applying the reasoning power to theproblems of everyday life was education,no matter if the study of Latin and Greekwas left out altogether. Therefore ; theeducation of the commercial college wastrue education if it was received undera competent educator. It was not somuch what .the pupil learned as It wasthe way it was learned and the way itwas taught. The true education was thedevelopment of the mind, no matter inwhat way the development was effected.

A farewell address to the class was de- jlivered by Prof. Boemsch, and WilliamPitt Murray also made a few brief re-marks. The programme was interspersedwith musical numbers by Miss Hope's la-dies' orchestra, John Gustafson and aquartette consisting of Miss Alcott, MissHope and Messrs. Koerner and Floyd.

him since last Saturday. A visit to hisroom, at 382 V&. Wabasha street, disclosedthe fact that his personal belongings re-main just as he left them. The BlackSheep man was very much puzzled overthe mysterious disappearance, and wasadvised by Treasurer McCormick to -re-port the case to the police, and securetheir aid in locating the missing man.

Mr. McCormick said last evening: "Weare considerably puzzled over the man-ner, in" which Harris disappeared. His

home was at Chicago, and it is possible

that he might have run down there onan impulse. Harris was an excellentworker, but given to fits of despondency.That is what makes us anxious.

Special Agent Crane Says It la aMost Determined Effort to Violate

Treat — Small Army \ waiting;

the Outcome of the Case In the

Courts.

Special Agent Crane, of the customs de-partment, returned yesterday from Por-tal, N. D., where he participated In thoarrest of sixteen Chinamen, who at-tempted to cross the border from Can-,ada under the advice of their attorney

and in violation of the exclusion act. TheChinks were seeking to bo* arrested whenthe raid was made, In the opinion of thegovernment officials, in 'order to have achance to present their cases in court.If the plans arranged by the invadersare successful there will be a small armycome over, as 110 are said to be waiting

across the line for the outcome of the ar-rest of the advance guard.

"It is the most determined effort toviolate the exclusion law on record in

the Northwest," said Mr. Crane yester-day. "There are 110 •of the Chinamenin one body, who are all destined forChicago if they can get into the coun-try. They are connected with one of theChinese 'companies.' They have an at-torney, Leonard W. Gammons, of Min-neapolis, who is acting for the Chicagoparties.

"Last Friday sixteen of the Chinamen,all of whom had been denied admissionby the collector of customs at Pemblna,came boldly, across the line, under theadvice of their attorney. They were ar-rested and taken to Minot, N. D., wheretheir cases will bo heard • before ._ theUnited States -commissioner. If the com-plaint is sustained they will be held tothe district court and taken to Fargo.There they will have a chance to provethat they are merchants, if they can.In case they are finally turned down,the whoVe lot must be shipped back toChina, notwithstanding the fact that they

came across from Canada. There is agood deal of excitement up in that coun-try over the case. I am engaged in aninvestigation into the circumstances."

PAY ON THEIR NET TONNAGE

State Auditor Dnnn Has Receivedthe List of the Returns From Thin

Source — Minnesota Gets About

JflOO a Year Taxes From a

Steamer Worth $225,000—

This Is Too Small.

State Auditor Dunn has received thelast of the returns from steamboat com-

panies operating from the port of Duluthupon the tonnage of vessels owned by

them. The report is for the current year

and is a basis for taxation of the boats.

Under the law passed by the legislature

of 1895 all boats are taxed upon the basisof their net tonnage at the rate of 3

cents per ton.

All the companies owning boats that are

taxable In this state have submitted therequired affidavit to the state auditor

and have paid their tax to the state. Un-

der the provisions of the law St. Louiscounty receives one-half of this tax. Thelaw was evidently framed for the benefitof the Zenith City, and is really a good

thing—for Duluth and the steamboatowners. The latter, escape paying theirshare of the public tax through the as-sessment of the so-called tonnage tax,

while St. Louis county receives one-halfof whatever amount. is. collected.If- the boats were taxed as personal

property and their owners were com-pelled to pay taxes like other people, itwould net a handsome sum and would indegree help to even up the burden of thepublic tax.

The truth of ;this proved by the returnsmade to the state auditor. . For Instance,one of the Bessemer Steamship com-pany's craft valued at $225,000 would:be assessed, if ' put on. the booksas personal property at about $100,000.This would bring the.state $2,000. But, asit is, _ the state receives about $100.'"
