ID. w. Ellis Banqueted by His
Friends in South Town.

given at Tollefscn's hall to honor Hon.

Minneapolis. The gentleman who rep
resented their interests so we'll last
winter in the legislature was handsome
ly shown their appreciation by this
occasion, planned to honor him.
About $50 representative men of South
Minneapolis gathered at the hall be-
tween S and 8 o'clock in the evening.
They gathered in groups, joining in
conversation. and making themselves
quite as happy as was possible without
the aid of the fairer element of South
Minneapolis, for the ladies had not been
considered as citizens on this occasion.
Music frightened the hour till o'clock
came, and then H. K. Hicks. who
was master of ceremonies for the even
ing called the gentlemen to the table,
which extended about three sides of
the room and through it's center. An
Elliot filling the place of honor at the
head of the table. When the feasting
was over Mr.. Hicks announced the first
speaker of the evening, saying that
brevity was the soul of wit, and as a
banquet-especialIy a dry banquet
would be very dry without the latter he
would say no more than a happy greet
ing and call on the first speaker.
president of the U. So was the
toast responded to by L. E. Hughes.
He made his address especially with
reference to President Harrison's good
sense in choosing Wanamaker as the
postmastmaster general. He gave a
concise history OF the system and a syn
Opsis of the plan now to be carried out.
Hon. Lars Swenson was absent, and
Hon. j. NJ. Underwood responded to
the toast, minnesota" He eulogized
the First Minnesota volunteers as the
saviors of the battle of Gettysburg and
the state in general.
A letter was read from Mayor Babb
stating the reason why he could not be
present.
F. NJ. Nye was to respond to the toast
"SOuth Minneapolis: Past, Present and
Future" Owing to Mayor Babb's ab-
sence he included the toast of ''AIinne-
apolis." His speech was rousing one,
patriotic to Minneapolis and especially
South Minneapolis. He referred in the
most complimentary terms to Mr.. Ellis.
and brought out prolonged applause. q
The following were the list of toasts,
all of which were turned to honor their
guest: "Our Legislators" Hon. John
Day Smith; Methodist Row." Rev.
Thomas McClary: Education" Rev.

LOCAL TOPICS.

John Lamb, the mild and inoffensiye
state labor statician, is realizing i'll q
small way what it is to have political
power thrust upon him. The power in
question is the privilege of recommend
ing to the goveanor for appointment
two factory inspectors. 1t is reported
that he will select James A. Johnson
and John L. Cronin, of st. Paul, for the
positions. Neither of the men named
are very popular with working men,
but they helped to lobby the bill
through the legislature, and Mr.. Lamb
thinks their efforts in this direction
should be rewarded.

The recent division of Dakota into
North and South Dakota is creating con-
siderable confusion. Many people who
could remember that town was located
somewhere iii Oak Ota are often put to
their wits ends as to whether it is now
in North or South Dakota. A list that
would show the location OF towns since
the division would be a great conven-
ience. Here is pointer for some
schemer who is on the lookout for some
choice piece of information which can
be made to secure the reading OF the

AIDERMANIC PORTRAITS.

Farnsworth, ID. D., is sixteenth on
the list of aldermen when the roll is
called. On account of his initials there
was move, when he first Joined the
council, to appoint him assistant chap
lain. but Dorastus explained that he
was a plainly upholstered farmer, ard
showed the president where creaSes had
been made in his pantaloons through
the operation of sticking them III
his boot-tops. Farmer Farnsworth rises
at a. m. and goes out to the barn to
milk the COW; at 8, before the sun has
begun to offer his hottest beams at
low rate for cash, he is wedding the
out of his choice dandelion and panSy
fields. In the forenoon he plows the
north field until the dinner bell rings,
when he goes in and cracks jokes with
the family while the potatoes are being
''skun" in the kitchen.
One morning last fall when he was
monkeying with an obstrepuous stump
in the north forty, a majority of the
voters of the Thirteenth ward leaned
over the fence and asked him to come
up and join the council.
What is it?'' asked Dory.
why, it's an association for the i'm
provement of outlying tarms," the
chairman replied.
Then" said Dory, ''if you will just
wait till saddlee old Rock, I'll go up
and jine," and he did to the satisfaction
of all concerned. ''Dory" has never
yet addressed the council, but it is ru-
mored that he is at work on a speech
which will be the effort of his life. He
will treat the question of summer fall
lowing underground wires and the best
method of watering cedar pavements so
as to produce an even growth.

FOR PERJURY.
William Gillen on Trial Before
Judge Hicks on That Charge.

William Gillen on Trial Before
Judge Hicks on That Charge.
William Gillen was on trial yesterday
in the criminal court before Judge
Hicks. He is charged with perjury
committed at the municipal court a
year ago last March in a civil case
which he had against Swanson & Ring
wald. At that time he surprised every
one, even his own attorney, by swear
ing that he had never seen certain
paper introduced in evidence, which is
claimed to be his own hand writing.
A considerable interest was mani
tested in the trial. In the middle of the
afternoon the lawyers for the defense
went to introduce some papers in evil
dence. 10 these Attorney JamisOn OBJ
jected, claiming that they were indie
pendent of the matter at issue, and to
decide the matter Judge Hicks betOOk
himself to his room to look up the law
on the matter When he returned the
papers were admitted, and Gillen said
be didn't recognize the hand writing.
Judge Atwater was the first witness
called by the state. He said that he
had done considerable of business for
Gillen, and had seen a good deal of his
writing, but this was some time ago.
On being shown the paper, he said he
thought the writing was that of Mr..
Gilled; in fact, he was sure that the
signature was his, and was nearly salts
fed that the writing was. He also left
papers which he said were written by
Mr.. Gillen. He said he had some notes,
too, but didn't care to leave them. as
they were not paid.
In answer to the question Of having
hostile feelings toward Gillen, the
judge said that he had not.
The stenographer of the municipal
court told what evidence was given
there.

ISN'T 1T AWFUL?

Secret plans are said to be under way
to start a rival organization to the w.
c. I. U. IN this city. The movement is
said to originate with dissatisfied ele-
ments in the late county convention
who follow the lead of Mrs. F. E.
Towers, the chairman in opposition to
the third party. The convention was a
good deal of a failure as far as
attendance and character of the literary
exercises was concerned, and the third
partyites covertly charge that the lack
of enthusiasm was due to Mrs. Towers
leadership. There is an opening for a
good row. for when the sisters in the
W. c. T. U. get started they neither
give nor take quarter. The coffee
house faction, which. since the success
of the enterprise, has held its head high
and acted as if 1t owned great many
choice portions of the earth adjoining
it, IS on top just now, and the assistant
Republicans in the organization are in
an humble minority.

record of the court no such complaint

Edgar Gale, thirteen-year-old boy
living at S216 Chicago avenue, fell be-
tween two passing motor trains at Four
teenth street and NicOllet avenue at
$50 last evening, and received injuries
from which he will probably die.
He was taken to 1343 Nicollet, where
Drs. Klmball and Keith attended him.
They decided that the lad had suffered
concus sion of the brain, and while hay-
ing a chance of life would probably die
in a few hours.
The parents of the boy were notified,
and both visited him at 1343, where he
remained all night. 1t appears that the
boy was hanging on the steps and
struck against another boy occupying a
similar position on the other car. This
knocked him under the wheels and he
sustained fearful blow on the back of
the head at the base of the brain, be-
sides other severe injuries.

THE GUZZLER's DOOM,

AS Pronounced by the New Schef.
fer Liquor Law.
The Scheffer liquor law, making
drunkenness crime and providing for
the punishment of the first offense by a
fine of $40 to $40, which increases to $40
or $50 for the second. and to ninety
days imprisonment for the third Of
fense, went into effect Monday. Judge
Mahoney says this will not materially
affect matters in the municipal court
here. as it has been the custom to
impose fines on sliding scale, increas-
ing the penalty for old offenders. The
only real advantage of the new law is
that it covers drunkenness in a private
place, while the old law affected only
drunkenness in public place.
