sCRUTT AND COLON.
The Formers Acquittal Will Not
Affect the Latter's Case.

When Julius Schutt was indicted for
forgery in the second degree many be-
lieved that the result of his case would
decide the action against j. Frank Col
lon. Schultz has been acquitted. Now
the question is, will the case against
COLON be dropped? The attorneys
for the prosecution say that it will not
be discontinued. The COLON case will
come up at the April term, and County
Attorney JamisOn says that it will be
pushed to some sort of a elimination.
1t is hard work to get evidence because
most of it is in possession of parties d.
rectly inter ested. However, some
definite result will probably be reached
at the April term.
AS for the Schutt case, the prosecut-
ing attorneys believe that its
failure was due to A. e. Merrill.
1t is alleged that he did not tes-
tify in court as he was expected
to, after what he said before the grand
jury. Merrill refused to accept the note
on which Schutt was indicted, or one
similar to it, while it bore simply the
Endorsement of ]. 7. Blaisdell, without
the waiver. Schutt agreed to secure
the waiver and the deal was made. On
the witness stand Merrill could not re-
member whether he had seen the note
before the waiver was placed upon 1t.
and, therefore, could not tell whether it
bore the Endorsement of Blaisdell.
There is little show of Merrill being
tried for perjury.

THE PRoHIBITIoNIsTs.
The State Central Committee
Holds a Secret Council.

The State Central Committee
Holds a Secret Council.
The state central committee of the
Prohibition party held an executive
session at its headquarters, at 30l Hen
nepin avenue, yesterday afternoon.
The session was held in the utmost Sc
cresy, and although the request given
out by the secretary would lead to the
belief that everything was harmonious,
friendly transom that had been left
open enabled the reporter to hear that
the session was anything but unani-
nous in thought. One loud voice was
heard to remark that they had been in
financial distress since the last disaS-
trous campaign. and he for one did not
favor any more active political meas
ures. Another cried that it would be
impossible to obtain subscriptions, as
the blow they had received would tend
to make their believers chary about con-
tributing.
The discussion was loud and long,
but finally they must have agreed, for
the following report was given to the
reporter after the session had ended by
the secretary.
That there would be only s7oO neces-
sary aside from collections by the
speakers, and measures were taken to
secure it.
They decided to inaugurate vigor-
Gus, aggressive campaign, and a con-
ventiOn would be called for nomina-
tons to the state ticket in ST. Paul the
latter part of June.
Secretary George F. Wells will take
the field to raise funds in outlying dis
tricts for the general interest of the
movement, and John S. Hughes will at
tend to the eampaig n correspondence
at the headquarters.
Though that was the voice of the
meeting, 1t is understood that several
of the members objected strongly to the
state campaign, and their dissatisfac-
ton is liable to breed discord in the
ranks.

THAT TERRIBLE GRIPPE,
What 1t Really Is Explained by
One of the Best Informed Men in
Arnaripo


The president Of one of the leading New
York Medical colleges, in conversation with
the writer the other evening, said:
La Grippe the Russian influenza, that
has caused so much talk, is a more severe
affiiction than people usually think. 1t arises
mysteriously, and appears to have its origin
IN the atmosphere. The last time il visited
America was in 1903, and 1t came then as
now, from Asia. The name Influenza comes
from the suggestion that the malady was due
TO the influences of the heavenly bodies.
put more modern science has discovered that
1t is due to the changes in the electrical con-
dltlons. Whatever may be the cause it is a
strong congestion of the blood vessels and
mucous membrane, principally in the head
and throat, and nothing but strong stimu-
iants will check this congestion and keep the
blood actively circulating. For this purpose
know of nothing better than pure whisky
and believe Duffy's Pure Malt to be the best
and purest whisky known to the world
formerly this influenza was said TO pre-
cede an epidemic OF the plague, and the per-
son who was about to be taken with the lat
ter had as preliminary fit of sneezing
Now II precedes worse epidemic than the
plague, namely, the terrible pneumonia. Its
beginning is slight, but its ending is often
terrible. Pains in the limbs, back, chest and
head; sore throat and lack of appetite;
ceplous discharge at the nose; these are
some OF the symptoms Of this dread disease.
Upon the slightest approach of any of these
symptoms, a nervous feeling, or lassitude,
resort should be had to pure whisky. which
is the only certain means of breaking up this
epidemic before it secures a hold upon the
system. or check it when it has become
S tarted- Care should be taken. however, to
secure only that which is pure, as the article
above named certainly is''

Twenty-Five years old and single. was
up in Judge Hicks court room yester-
day morning, together with several
other Offenders, ready for trial. But he
was not tried. He entered the plea of
guilty and his lawyer told the court how
it all happened. Patton. who had been
railroad brakeman but a couple of
years ago lost both legs. He settled
with the company for $1,000, but so
much ready money was his ruin. He
went to Tacoma, "blew in" most of the
money and then returned to Minneapo-
lis, depositing about $1,000 in the bank.
That was soon gone, and then he began
TO have a hard time of it. He drew
checks on bank where he had no
money and was arrested and Indicted.

But 1T DOESN'T go"
An Alleged Promise to "Whack
Up'' on the Big Boston Prize.

Up" on the Big Boston HFiZe.
Ed Wilson, bartender at the Mer-
chants saloon, who held ticket 1890,
was declared the winner of the house
and lot which the Big Boston clothing
store offered as prize to be disposed
of by allotment. each purchaser of any
article at the store to be given a chance
in the drawing during certain period.
There is likely to be squabble oyer
the affair, and the matter may get into
the courts for settlement. 1t ap-
pears that Wilson has been room
ing at the National hotel with
George 3. Miller. a collector OH the Mil
waukee short line. They both made
purchases at the Big Boston, and Miller
says the tickets they received were
thrown together in bureau drawer by
Wilson, with the remark: We'll put
'em together, and if one of US draws the
prize, he'll Whack up with the other"
OF course, he had no idea that this con-
tingency would arise; but it did. On
the night of the drawing mutual
friend went to their room, and out of
curiosity looked over the tickets to see
If they happened to hold the lucky num-
Der. To his surprise he found that
ticket No. Is, 900 was in the lot. He took
the ticket to Wilson, who was at work
tending bar at the Merchants. The
latter claimed the prize at once, and the
proprietors of the Big Boston have
been preparing to deed him the house
aud lot. In the meantime Miller has
come to the front with the query,
"Where do come mp" He is certain
that he was the one to whom the ticket
in question was given when ne made
a purchase at the store. He remembers
that he made some remark at the time
to the clerk who waited upon him con-
corning the similarity it bore to the
present year, 1890, and Furthermore,
says when he got out on the sidewalk
he dropped it in the slush, but picked it
up and wiped it off. The ticket is said
to be soiled, and as far as appearances
60 MIR. Miller's story is borne out. He
has sought legal advice. as Wilson is
not disposed to recognize his claim. and
is said to have given notice that he will
seek to enjOin the conveyance of the
property, which was advertised as be-
ing worth $500.

A SNAP GAME
Is What Bishop says Examiner
Kenyon Sprung on the Ameri-

1
James Ii. Bishop was about yester-
day, and was seen by GLOBE reporter
at the office Of the American Building
and Loan association after he had re-
| turned from st. Paul, where he had been
to see about the business of the COM
pany. He was wrathy against Mr..
Kenyon, who. he says, has played them
| scurvy trick.
HE promised" said Mr.. Bishop, sin
| the presence of our attorney, that he
would not proceed until the evidence
had all been taken in typewriter and
| placed before our attorney, so that all
! evidence that would not be allowed in a
court of law might be eliminated. he
| also was to give US time to introduce
| new witnesses, time to make briefs. and
| three months time, it necessary, to al
| low James 81. Bishop TO recover from
| his illness sufficiently to testify in the
| case.
This whole thing is a put up job,
which | think | can explain: Gov.
Merriam is banker. The bankers
| league is opposed to national building.
and loan associations because we give
| the people money at 6 per cent, while
| they make from 10 to IL, and, further
west, Is and % per cent. Gov. Merriam
| 10 q lutlIlOCI vi tllO anu
was appointed by Merriam. Kenyon in
| making this report is merely acting
under instructions from the gov
ernor because the governor is opposed
to these organizations. Kenyon made
| report on the business some time ago;
he was reappointed about ten days ago,
which was part of his pay, | suppose.
When Kenysn made his first report
there was mistake of S31, 900 in it
against US. He furnished the Tribune
with his report twenty-four hours
ahead, and then sent out LOCO copies of
the paper containing the scoring which
the Tribune gave us, and also the mis-
take of So, COO to parties with whom we
had been doing business. As to the
charge that we had invested 100000 of
our funds in the stock of the German
American Fire Insurance company, of
st. Paul, l will say that the authority
for that investment, or rather the au-
thOrity for making all such investments,
was given us by Public Examiner Ken
yon himself, and l have his signature
to the document giving us the authority
to do 1t in my possession. We are go
ing to fight this thing to the bitter end"
He then went Oh to explain that the
figures taken on which to base the re-
port were those given out at the first of
November. Since then, as shown by
their January report, their surplus has
increased from 100000 to $4,000, an
increase OF $1,000 per month. In addi-
ton to that fact, the item of ''dues paid
into expense fund.- that appears in Mir.
KenyOn's report as a liability, should
not be there. nor the credit to assets
for cash in expense fund of 2,751.49, as
the expense is paid IN as a separate
consideration and is for a special pur-
pose.
The scheme of the association was ex-
planned i'll a simple manner by Mr..
Bishop. 1t seems that the expense on
stock is mostly paid in the first year.
Following is table showing the status
of the shares for seven years.

Total S42 Az SiI
The above simple table will show
that if the statement was made at the
first year it would show that more had
been paid into the expense fund than
had been paid for stock; but at the END
of the seventh year there is S42.40 cred
tied with the compound interest for
seven years, which mad cost but SIT eX-
penses. Mr.. Bishop states that the
American is in better shape than any
national building association in the
country, and if they attempt to close it
they will, of necessity, have to close all
the others. As matter of fact they
have now actually S150,0O0 surplus.
In regard to the statement that, they
have placed second mortgages, he says
that they placed large amount on a
piece of property which had project
ing slip, mortgaged at certain amount
per acre. As the land was worth much
more than the price mortgaged, they
included this description in with the
larger piece when the mortgage was
made.
He stated that they would fight the
case to the bitter end, as they did not
propose to be closed up just as the pro-
fits were beginning to assume magni-
ficent proportions, and the time so near
when the majority of shareholders
would begin to realize balance to the
credit of their shares.
