threw it at 4 companion some distance from
him. The stone struck much nearer the
mark than had been anticipated. The lad
aimed at received the missile on the head, and
a severe wound was the result. Cutting

ODD FELLOWS.

Grand Cetebrati"m to Take Place In Min
ne0Doiis To-day One Of the Finest Pro-
cesstons Evcr Witnessed In the City.
The events of to-day are destined to be
among the most prominent in the annals OF
Odd Fellowship in Minnesota. For some
time past the fraternity have been making
preparations for the celebration of the fifty
ninth anniversary of American Odd Fellow
ship, and, at the present writing, everybody
works most favorable for tho contamination
of their plans.
Representatives from all portions of the
State will be in attendance. The detailed
programme was published yesterday. In ad-
dition we may add that
The Minneapolis Battalion Uniformed Patri.
archs will assemble promptly at o'clock, in
stead of at 80, as heretofore announced.
Visiting lodges and encampments are expect
ed to arrive az follows:
From Red Wing, Hastings, Lake CITY. etc.
From Mortified, Faribault, Pennington, ETC.,
at 80 A. NJ.
From Saltwater, Marine, etc., at Gals A. M,
per special train.
From St. Paul (per special train) at 10: 80
A. NJ.
From Mankato st. Peter, Chaska, etc., at
II 80 A. NJ.
The procession will form at half past one
o'clock in the order published yesterday.
The line of march will be nearly as fol-
lows:
Up Third street to Third avenue north:
thence to Washington avenue; thence to
Sixth avenue south; thence to Seventh
street; thence to Nicollet avenue; thence to
Nicollet Island; thence to Central avenue;
thence to- University avenue; thence to Third
avenue southeast; thence to Fourth street;
thence to Central avenue; thence to Nicollet
Island; thence to Hennepin avenue; thence
to Sixth street, and countermarch to opera
house.
At the Opera House an excellent pro-
gramme, consisting of speeches, music and
singing, will be INDUCED in. After these
exercises the procession will reform on
Second street, in the order above mentioned.
and visiting lodges and encampments will
be escorted to the depots. Invited guests
intending to remain will join with local
organizations at the depots, from whence
the line of march will be to headquarters,
where all will sbreak ranks''
In the evening grand uniform ball will
be held at Pence Opera House. This will be
participated in by the order in uniform and
a large number of invited guests. It will
probably be the finest and largest party
given this winter. The committee have
spared no pains or money to make it the
party of the season. All who have been SO
fortunate as to receive invitations should
not fail to attend. The grand march at the
hall in the evening commences at O'Clock
sharp, and all should be present at that
hour, as it will be one of the principal
features.
Taken in its entirety, this will doubtless
be the finest anniversary celebration of any
kind ever held in the city.

Il BATCH Of BMsihcss Of a lliscellaneous
Character at the Municipal Court Yes-
ter0aN.
The municipal court presented some
what animated appearance yesterday fore
noon. Judge Cooley took his seat at an
early hour, adjusted his spectacles, leaned
back in his chair and awaited the arrival of
the "mob." He was not compelled to wait
long, for the first delegation arrived mo-
ment later and the municipal mill began to
grind. Three tramps, giving the names of
Francis Barton, John Weir and Andrew
Malcomb. They were ordered to leave the
city and began their tramp at once.
Samuel Colburn was out of wood, ana it is
claimed borrowed o load of another man
while the owner was absent. After partial
hearing the case was postponed till to-day.
S. l.. Staples, the county treasurer of Mile
Laos county, who was charged with obtain
ing $l 900 on bogus collaterals, came up
and escaped much easier than he had pre-
viously anticipated. He was discharged, as
the case had been settled outside the court.
Sallie Campbell and one of the inmates of
her house have paid their monthly fines, and
now the Bethany Home treasury will be
slightly replenished.
A. II. Blegen is charged with having taken
certain evergreens from the premises of E..
II. Holbrook, Jr., and Mr.. H. wants satis-
faction. The case was continued till two
weeks to-day.
Next came Fred. Keller, who "keeps q sa-
loon in the city, His place is on lower
Washington avenue, and has furnished more
than one item for the city papers, as we'll as
being considerable trouble to the police.
He was fined five dollars for good old fash
Toned drunk. It seemed, upon further in
quiry, that a row of rather huge proportions
occurred at that place about eleven O'Clock
the night before. man by the name of
johnson figured rather conspicuously in the
melee. Bottles were thrown about, window
glass smashed, and red-hot time generally
was INDUCED in. Finally the police appeared
upon the scene and Keller was conveyed to
the lookup.
A man named Charles Walter was brought
before the court for drunkenness, but On
promising to leave the citywas discharged.
Harry Cramer, married man, who in
November last succeeded in seducing Nellie
r. Stops, or ct least she says he did, was
brought before the court. Waving an ex.
animation, he was committed to await the
action of the grand jury. That closes the
days proceedings.

killing the Newspaper business.
St. Cloud Tim. s.

st. Cloud lin s.
The financial statement of Dakota county
makes seven and q half columns of the Farm
ington Press, and Bro. Emery, noticing it's
insertion. says 'sit is really shameful that any
good printer should feel compelled to
do this work at the price we receive
Yes. it Is Greatly shameful" In this county
the statement is published by the Journal
Press, and 200 supplement copies furnished,
for 1925. And yet we hold our annual edi-
torial conventions, and talk over measures
for securing fair prices and making the
newspaper business profitable, as well
as honorable. Last winter, in the Senate,
when it was proposed to reduce the price for
advertising the delinquent tax list to eight
cents per description, Senators Nelson,
Drew, J. B. Gilfllan and others supported
the reduction, because, as they. stated,
''naa1ay newspapers u0,o published the list
for three and foe CENTS" and they "did not
believe in paying one publisher three or four
times what another did the work for.'' The
reduction from fifteen to twelve cents
per description, which was made, was
solely due to the cut-throat practices of pub
fishers themselves. We acknowledge a
growing disgust for this ''ratting'' process,
and, unless we change our mind consider
ably we shall hereafter keep our "$2.OO an
nual dues" in our vest pocket, and keep
away from the meetings of the Minnesota
("rat'') editors convention, which, in view of
the subsequent action of some of our most
prominent members, makes the whole thing
appear gigantic farce and humbug,
resulting in benefit to just one individual
the St. Paul job printer, who receives near
" all the s'annual dues" for publishing the
proceedings in pamphlet form.
