Irregular Methods OF a ISiVai.
The st. Paul branch of the mercantile
agency of r. G. Dun & Co. is after the
scalp of the Northwestern Collection,
Loan and Trust association, and threat
ems to bring suit for heavy damages
within few days. The trouble, as re-
lated by J. j. COrcOran, the general dis
trict manager for Il. q. Dun & Co., is
as follows:
"The association" he said, shave un-
dertaken to furnish mercantile reports
the same as Il. q. Dun & Co. We issue
a daily notification sheet to our sub
scribers each morning and they issue one
i'm the evening. For a long time we
have suspected that they have been
copying our sheet. They get ours. re-
arrange it and then charge their sub
scribers $40 per year for those copied
reports. In order to satisfy ourselves
on this point we inserted in our sheet
number of fictitious names and the
names of one or two of our clerks. They
fell into the trap at once and copied
those names. We then found them III
possession of one of our books of rating.
They had covered it over with canvas
in order that it might not be recognized.
These books are only furnished to sub
Scribers, and they are not allowed under
any circumstances, or under the terms
of agreement, to let it get out OF their
possession. Of course this association
knew it could not get book from us,
so it got Minneapolis lumber firm
to subscribe for it. Thus the sub
scriber violated the agreement. We are
entitled to the book and it was seized
by the sheriff. You will probably no.
tice remarkable thinnesS in their re-
ports next week. We shall bring suit
for heavy damages"

WANT TO BE CLERKS.
Fifty-Four Tried the Civil Service
Examination Yesterday.

A civil service examination was held
In the United States court room yeSter-
day. At a. m. fifty-four candidates
presented themselves before the exam
lining board, composed of Superintend-
ent of Mails George w. Hardacre, As
sistant Postmaster Patrick O'Brien and
Carrier z. NJ. Maroney. Thirty OF the
candidates were ladies, who desired
clerkships in the city poStoftice.
Twenty-Five of the men want similar
positions and two would be content with
the more modest duty of stampers. The
candidates were examined in arithmetic,
geography, copying, letter-writing and
exercises in dictation, abbreviation and
capitalizing.
The questions, as rule, were quite
simple; nevertheless, some pretty bad
''breaks" were made, especially in ge-
ography. A lady candidate named
Chicago and Oshkosh as two large cities
on Lake Michigan, while one of the gen.
tlemen wrote down i'll big round hand,
"The Minneapolis Il st. Louis" as one
of the great railroads of the country.
Tomorrow candidates for the position
of carrier will be examined.

THE SOLDIERS HOME.
Plans Adopted by the Committee
at Yesterdays Session.

The soldiers home commission met
In the governors room at the capitol
yesterday, and decided upon the plans
for the new home. The plans decided
upon contemplate ten or twelve two

chapel. There will also be an admin
iStration building, hospital and a
building for the steam plant. The cot
tages will be twO-story pressed brick
buildings, with brown stone trimmings,
slate roofs, and finished in the most
substantial manner. The first story
will contain the day room, with large
bay window and fireplace, fitted up
for a reading and lounging room. The
Orderly's room adjoinS this. All other
space is given up to the dormltories.
Bath rooms are to be placed Oh each
floor, as well as verandaS and balconies
both front and rear. These build
ings are designed in the Romanesque
style of architecture, and, with the nat
urally beautiful surroundings, will
make the home as attractive and beau
tiful as it will be comfortable.

THE EXPERIMENTAL STATION.
Improvements Made and COntem-
plated by the Board Of Regents.

"The experimental stables at the state
agricultural farm, have just been COM
pleted," said Hon. Gordon E. Cole, one
of the board of regents, sand expert
ments i'm feeding cattle have been in
augurated. Officers of the experimental
station, comprising horticulturist, a
veterinarian, an agricultural chemist, a
botanist and an entomologist. have either
been secured or negotiations are pend
ing for their services, and they will all
be engaged in good season for the spring
planting. A portion of the appropria-
ton made by congress has been paid,
and the laboratory and other offices
have been put under contract, and the
building for the school of agriculture
will be completed early this spring"
This school is being organized on the
general plan heretofore promulgated by
Mr.. Kiehle, secretary of the board, and
will be ready for the reception of pupils
next fall. These are some of the feat
ures now in progress under the direc-
ton of the board of regents. Allthe
plans and details for the construction
of the necessary buildings are in the
hands of the members of the executive
committee, and Mr.. Burlington. of Min

Compete for Chance at the
State Contest.

Orators at Hamline University
Compete for a Chance at the
State Contest.
The Sixth annual contest of the Ham
line Oratorical association occurred
last evening at Hamline university
A good audience, in which
were many from Manchester college
ana the state university greeted the
speakers. The contest was for the Sc
lection of two orators to represent Ham
line university in the state contest in
April. There were three contestants,
w. Ii. Morgan, E. A. Montgomery and
S. F. Kerfoot. The first place was
awarded to S. F. Kerfoot, of the class of
'S9, and second to E. A. Montgomery, of
the class of 'SS. The following
is list of the judges and
the rank given to the orators
On thought and composition, Supt. S. S.
Taylor: KerfOot, l; Morgan, 2: Mont
gomery, 3. Attorney W. p. Warner:

cry, 3. Rev. f. 0. Holman: Montgom-

tello: Kerfoot, l; Morgan, 2; Mont
gomery, 3. DR.. w. K. Marshall: Mont
gomery, L; Kerfoot, 2; Morgan, 3.
The first part on the programme was
an instrumental solo by Miss Weston,
after which w. III. Morgan spoke on
.Christianity and the Conflict of Labor
and Capital" His delivery at times
was very forcible. He found in
Christianity the only element that
would harmonize capital and labor.
hn
accomplish the result as capital to-day
was educated, and yet it did not become
more humane. Following the speaker
DR.. and Mrs. FL. L. Osborn gave duet.
The second speaker, who also received
second place, was E. A. Montgomery.
He delivered his eulOgy on Gen. u. S.
Grant in his usual pleasing manner.
Following his address, II. HI. Norton
favored the audience with violin solo,
after which S. F. Kerfoot, who received
first honors, spoke on ''The Growth
and Status of Civil Service Reform. /"
Mr.. Kerfoot, besides having good
thought in his oratioD, held by his
strong delivery the attention of his
hearers better than the former speak
ers. In the course of his remarks he
said:
The pioneer of the reform in America
was Thomas A. Jenckes, of Rhode
Island. The outgrowth of his efforts
was the power given to President Grant
in 1871, the experiment Of open compe-
tition in 1872 and the passing of the
Pendleton bill of 1888, by which
all clerkships and cadetships are
filled upon the competitive principle.
The spoils system must be thrust forth
from the body polite as relic of bar
barism if we would maintain our claim
to enlightenment. Civil service reform
is in perfect harmony with even the
ideal of our form of government, and the
love of freedom instilled into our hearts
from childhood unites with our high
born gift of reason in, pleading for its
support.
