The buyer for one of these places
watches the markets very closely. He
knows all the commission men and they
know him. Occasionally there are "bar
gains" in edibleS as we'll as in dry
goods, and the buyer is always ON the
lookout for job lots III anything that he
can be "6Xed up" and made to figure
OH the bill of fare in the place he re-
presents. The warm weather brings to
the cheap restaurant buyer many bar
gains, and he is one of the most indie
pendent men who visits the markets.
1t is early in the evening that he gener-
ally gets in his work. A commission
merchant has lot of fish on hand, the
flavor of which has not been improved
by the hot weather. Another day and
he would have to pay scayenger to
haul them to the dump. Should the
meat inspector happen to drop
into the place he would condemn
them even now. Along comes the
buyer. He knows that the merchant
has lot of fish on hand and he wants
the fish, but he never lets the merchant
know it. When he is told that he can
have the fish for about one-half the reg
ular market price he gives the seller a
look which is mingled with surprise and
pity.
'iFishl" he exclaims, ''who. l couldn't
use them If you gave them away. /
bought enough fish yesterday to last US
a week and / really couldn't do any
thing with them. You ought to be glad
to get rid of them, for you'll have to
haul them away tomorrow. Now you
have done me one or two favors, and |
wouldn't mind giving quarter for the
lot and hauling them off, but don't be-
lieve could use them"
Glad to get them out of his place, the
merchant accepts the offer land instead
of being carted off by the scavenger
they are made to occupy prominent
position on the bill OF fare, and the
''hobo" who dimes at the restaurant APP
parently enjoys the stuff which should
have been destroyed. The buyer fol-
lows the same tactics employed in pur-
chasing the fish in securing all his sup
plies. Damaged groceries are never al
lowed to go to waste, and he is always
ready to make an offer for an old stock
of canned goods. Vege ables, too,
must be procured, and more than
one load which would find it's way
into the river is captured and turned to

ness it is to give substantial meal for
Is cents, and at the same time to make
something more than living for him.

Serious Charges Against Him.

An Answer in a Lawsuit Makes
Serious Charges Against Him.
Another phase of the suit brought
some time ago by John Day Smith to
quiet title to a lot in Corser's addition
has come to the surface. When the
case began it only involved S4.100 lot
and was but little noticed. Now, how
ever, it bears upon the honor of pillar
of the church and one of the leading
lights of the Republican party in Min
neapolis.
In the latter part OF last March John
Day Smith died suit in the district
court. in which Adolf Robltshek, Robert
NJ. Roberts and Charles w. Knight
were made defendants. The complaint
set forth that Smith had bought lot
from Robitshek through one Thomas
Rooney, who held power Of attorney
for Robitshek. The lot was in Corser's
addition and Smith claimed to have con-
tracted for it for 81, 100, 5000 having
been paid in cash. His complaint stated
that he afterward stood ready to pay.
and did offer to pay, the balance on con-
dition that Robitshek would fulfill his
part of the contract and give Smith a
deed to the land. title free. But, the
complaint said, Robitshek did not do
this. On the contrary. he is said to
have made pretended sale of the land
to Robert NJ. Roberts and Charles
W. Knight and gave them a

SMALL VS.. ELEOTRO-MATRIX.
Agreements on the Vacation Of
Temporary Injunction.

Agreements on the Vacation OF
Temporary Injunction.
There was notable aggregation Of
lawyers before Judges Lochren and
Smith all yesterday afternoon. called
together for the argument of the motion
to sit aside the temporary injunction
secured some time ago by S. S. Small
against the Minneapolis Electro Matrix
company. Small. when he brought the
suit for an injunction, alleged that the
Minneapolis Electro MatrlX company
was. in conjunction with the American
ElectrO-MatriX company, of New Jer-
sey, seeking to enter into deal which
would injure the stockholders of the
Minneapolis company and greatly de-
preciate. the value of large block
of Minneapolis Electro-Matrix company
stock held by him. He alleged at that
time that certain directors of the Mime
apolis company had held meetings in
New York when there was not a quorum
present. and that it had transacted busi-
ness in the name of the company in
direct opposition to the provisions of
the bylaws. Small's complaint set forth
that these directors were cOnspiring to
defraud him and to wreck the Mime
apOllS ElectrO-MatrlX company FOR the
purpose of putting money into their own
pockets. On the strength of his COM
plant Judge Lochren issued tempor-
airy injunction restraining the Minne-
apolis Electro-Matrix company from
disposing of any of its assets or from
carrying out the contracts alleged in
Smalls complaint to have been made by
the directors. 1t was the motion to set
aside this injunction that was argued
yesterday.
The Hennepin county litigation is but
one phase of the differences between s.
S. Small on the one side and G. Wright
Dawson and the other directors on the
other. A similar suit was brought by
Small IN the courts of New York not
long ago, when Judge Andrews dis
solved the Injunction. The arguments
were not finished last night.

WHILE M'FEE Is AWAY,
His POcketbook Is Being De-
Dieted by I.itiqants.


Z. N. McFee is in Europe: and while
he is there, undoubtedly having good
time, the courts are having a
little fun with him on this
side of the water. Two actions
came up at the special term
yesterday which, partially because of
Mr.. McFee's absence, will deplete his
pockttbook to the extent of about 81. 100
each. Mr.. McFee went abroad last July.
When he did not return In couple of
months,as expected, papers in two suits
were served upon him at the Judd
house. his boarding place, and judy
ment was taken twenty days later. the
plaintiffs being Pauline b. Lee and
Isaac Atwater. McFee's attorney moved
to set aside the judgement on the
ground that the service was not good.
1t seems that some time ago an allOt-
ment was made upon some OF McFee's
property, and his attorney succeeded in
dissOlying it upon the ground that he
was resident, and only temporarily
absent. Judge Hooker yesterday de-
MED the motion to disallOw the service
in the two last suits, since man cannot
play the role Ut Resident temporarily
absent IN one case, and nonresident in
another.

Neither Minneapolis nor st. Paul are
behind other cities of their age in the
matter Of beautiful decorations. In
deed, many travellers are free to say
that in this respect the Twin Cities eX-
Gel to a noticeable degree. And when
the GLOBE readers are informed that
something in CHS line far above and be-
yond anything ever attempted in either
city has just been completed in Mime
apolis, they will know that a most ex-
traordinary piece of work has been
done. The old familiar retail liquor
and cigar house at the corner of Wash
ington and First avenues south will
hardly look so familiar to the iatrons
of the place now. since John Weinard
finished decorating it. But Mr.. Schiek,
the proprietor. will soon convince him
that the change is only in appearance.
The eye fails to at once comprehend
even a portion of the painting on frieze
and ceiling. 1t is only after several
minutes study of details that the art
lists idea can be grasped; and even then
one needs to take dozen different po-
siribns and as many light effects to
thoroughly appreciate the exquisite
coloring. the delicacy of the designs and
the perfect harmony of the whole. From
the plain, dead-alive walls, rich in them
selves. to the most intricate pieces OH
the ceiling. there Is perfection. One
may gaze for an hour, return In an
other hour and see new beauties in the
work, before unnoticed. A talk with

old resident of Minneapolis. working
along in a modest way. This was his
opportunity. He had studied in the
Antwerp schools several years before
coming to this country, and had had the
best Of training; but until Mr.. Schiek
gave him carte blanche Oh this work, he
had been unable to show what he could
do. MIR. Weinard's reputation Is ceF-
tainly made now. and, though well along
III years. he will. doubtless, accomplish
many grander and more extensive
decorations. But it is a question If he
will ever produce more beautiful, per-
feet work.
