yisable to vacate public streets or high
ways without adequate compensation.
A communication was read from T.. F.

the grounds that the rest of the street
had already been vacated and that the

\ Well-Known CrOckery Firm
Makes an Assignment.

The erockery firm of III. L. Wheat S
Co., doing business on WabaSha near
Fifth street, made voluntary assign
ment to H. l.. Dorsey yesterday morn
ing. The action was urged by an at
tachment suit of $50, in which Robert
J. Grover was the plaintiff, and under
which writ the store was closed. The
assets, consisting of stock and accounts,
are estimated at $4,000, and it thought
that the liabilities will not exceed that
amount. Delinquent debtors and poor
trade seem to have been the cause OF
the embarrassment. A schedule of
assets and liabilities will be filed in

Annual Meeting OF the Minnesota
Editors,


The editors and publishers of news
papers in Minnesota will meet to-day at
II a. m. to-day at the chamber of COM
merce. The meeting is called by the
Minnesota Editorial associations for the
object of amending the constitution of
the association so.as to make two meet
ings a year, one business and the other
social in its nature. Attention is called
to Article 5 of the constitution,
which provides that only those
paying annual dues to the extent
of 50 year shall be admitted
to membership. 1t seems that this arti-
Gle has heretofore been dead letter.
but henceforth it is proposed to enforce
it rigidly, SO that those who desire to
participate in the summer excursion
this year will have to pony up. The
president is very accommodating in re-
nouncing all claim to back dues, only
demanding those for the current year.
which will. entitle any man who pub
fishes news for the instruction or delec-
tation of a hungry public to become q
member of the association.
