lately declared. This dividend. the court
held, could be lawfully paid upon all,
except the Si5,oo0,o00 of stock
which had been distributed to the old
stockholders of the Western Union Tele-
graph company. Upon the company's
representation that by innumerable trans
fers and re-transfers this S15, 100000 of
stock had become largely indistinguish-
able from the balance. the court ordered
that upon the fling Of a bond equal in
amount to 1 q per cent. upon this S15,-

appeals should fiaally hold that the $15,-

The matter of admitting W. Il. Thomp-
son to bail was called up by Judge Shaw at

adjournment.
W. II. Carpenter and wife, and DR.. Nc
.Murdy and wife were offered as sureties on
he $1,000 bond, ard Fendali Il.
Winston is surety on the $4,000 bond.
County Attorney Hale thought that the
persons named were hardly sufficient for
the amount of the bonds, and that the
larger one should have at least two sure
ties. Mr. Winston was sworn, and his
disclosure being taken he was admitted by
the court as bondsma1 for
$4,000. Judge Shaw concluded with
Attorney Hale that the $4,000 bond should
have another signer as neither Mr.. Carpen-
er ner DR.. McMurdy owned very great
amount of Minneapolis real estate. Mr..
Hart. the defendants counsel, thereupon
withdrew and soon returned with Mr. s.
W. Melendy as the third signer, whereupon
the bond was accepted and Mr.. Thompson
released. It is claimed By the defense
that the prosecution has placed every pos
sible obstacle in the way of Thomson's OBJ
tanning bail; they even allege that Mr..
Lovejoy has asked several married men as
G. personal favor not to sign bond for
that purpose.

The Original Postage Stamp.

The first postage stamp ever used in
this country is believed to have been
brought out in New Haven in 1916 by
E. A. Mitchell, who was then the Post
master there. Nh. Mitchell, in response
to many complaints of inconvenience in
paying postage at the delivery windows,
as the Office was sometimes closed, and
it took time at best, finally got stamp
engraved and printed. These stamps
were sold at postage rates and proved
very convenient. Nh. A. e. Lines, an
t:;3-:.vcr of New Haven, has found the
Sos, design. He had engraved it in
-, and saved it. The stamping tool
was n,ade for use as canceling stamp,

4ALuiiyH Tie Hutt.

The GLOBE has called public attention to
the fact that the salt spread upon the tracks
by the Street Railway company had ruined
the snow upon all tae streets throughou
the city over which the franchise of the
company extends. In Eastern cities the
street railway companies are prohibited
from using salt upon the tracks for the
very reason that it gets thrown about the
streets and destroys the virtue Of the snow.
Minneapolis pespie feel that the same
should be put in force here.
A gentleman stated to GLOBE
reporter yesterday that in his opinion it
would be dangerous to permit horse to
stand in this admixture of salt and snow
when the weather is very cold, for any
length of time. owing to its liability to
freeze the feet of the animals. He further
stated that unless the city
authorities took the matter in haad he
thought strongly of taking the matter into
the courts to test. He thinks the people
of Minneapolis have rights which the sao-
nopoly stsseet railway company are bound
