TWO SUITS DISMISSED.
But Another Big One Immediate

But Another Big One hmm ediate-
Coliom.
Judge j. NJ. Shaw appeared at the
clerks office in the district court yester-
Gay morning and announced that he
wished to dismiss two of the suits
brought against j. Frank COLON and j..
L. Blaisdell. They proved to be the
two actions brought by j. M. Williams.
were for $1,000 and $1,000 respectively,
on prOmissory notes. This proceeding
gave rise to the rumOr that all of the
civil actions now pending against Col
lOm and BlaiSdell were to be dismissed,
which report was further strengthened
by the fact that Blaisdell
had recently borrowed $4,000 on @
mortgage, the belief being that Blais-
dell raised the money to pay off the
notes. Now it appears, however, that
the dismissal of Williams two actions
was done merely SO that they could he
combined into one case.
However that may be, there has been
another against COLON and Blaisdell
filed by Williams This suit is to re-
cover on twenty-five notes, amounting
to S52,03o9O, together with Interest on
the notes. Among these notes are sew
eral which appeared in the COLON trial.
The very first mentioned in the COM
plant Is the note which bears Blaisdell's
waivure of protest, dated Aug. 3. which
cut quite a figure in that trial. Biais-
dell having atterward refused to rec
ognize the waivure, and failed to pay
the note.
The beginning of this action throws
cases were to be settled. and Judge
Shaw, who is attorney for the creditors.
further says that he has heard no over
lures for settlement.

Reform school.
Harry E. Kistner. bright, manly
looking little fellow, aged about twelve
years, was taken into Clerk Altnow's
Office in the municipal court by his
mother yesterday. The woman in
formed the clerk that Harry was incOr-
rigable; that he had stolen s. from her,
swOre to complaint, and Harry was
taken before Judge Emery. 1t was
evident from the boys answer that
this was his first offenSe and there was
probably no one in the court room. ex-
cept the lads mother, who wasn't sorry
for him. Judge Emery questioned the
mother and drew out the fact that the
only reason that she wanted her son
sent to the reform school was to get him
Off her hands. She said she had been
divorced from her husband three years
ago. She lad no permanent home in
Minneapolis, but supported herself by
nursing. She had little girl who cost her
considerable money, and as the boy was
bad, she wanted him sent to the reform
school. She had supposed there would
be no trouble about it. and had bought
Harry few oranges and apples to take
with him. The court pointed out to the
woman mothers duty, and said that
it the lad had gone wrong 1t was her
own fault. He gave her one of the
worst rOastings ever delivered from tine
municipal bench. and wound up bv
saying that he would commit the boy to
the reform school. because he was sure
that he would be better off than with
his mother.
John Fitchette. or "Coffee john" as
he is generally called, was in the court
room and had listened to the statements
OF the boy and his mother. AS the court
sentenced the lad to the reform school,
and was about to enter the sentence
upon the docket, John walked hurriedly
up to the bench and exclaimed:
"Hold on. Judgel Don't send that
boy to the reform school. He's not
thief. His mother don't want him, and
if you'll make out the papers my wife
and I'll adopt him right now. It's a
shame to send such lad to prison."
"What do you say to that?' inquired
the court, turning to Harry's mother.
We'll, l don't know this man."
mo, but do, and know that he is
reputable citizen, and man who will
give the boy an education and make
man of him."
Judge, FL make the boy my son. but
him." broke in John.
The court then proceeded to inform
the woman that she would have no right
to interfere with Harry If she consented
to the adoption, and after short talk
with John and his wife Harry accom-
panied them to their home. But he
wanted to go with his mother, and, after
promising Mr.. Fitchette to come to see
him every day, he was allowed to go.

There is well-defned movement on

that large admission fee will be asked,

manufactures here. One of the princi-
pies upon which this new association

hand on the table, again crossed his
legs, while standing on one foot,

listener. He speaks good English, but
with an accent. He has good voice,
which occasionally, when he seeks to
intensity point, becomes disagreeably
sbrilI. All in all he is an Interesting
lecturer, and seemed to be fully appre-
ciated by the audience. The lecture
was the same as that delivered in st.

Why Michael Welsh Desires TO
Get Out Of Real Estate Deal.
Michael l.. Welsh has begun an action
against Mary A. Cfolly to recover $500
paid on real estate Welsh alleges in
his complaint that he bought certain
property Of the defendant. and paid her
$500 down, giving mortgage for the
rest. He afterwards contracted to sell
the property thus acquired to another
person. and then discovered that Louis
f. Menage claimed the land. He fur
Their alleges that he has discovered
that the defendant never had title to
the property which she sold. and he
therefore wants back the money which
he paid her. The property in question
was, some fifteen years ago, mOrtgaged
to one H. II. Goodwin. The late Judge
Jones afterwards foreclosed on it in
the name of Goodwin, believing him to
be alive, and it was bought in by Mrs.
ii. Ell. Goodwin. 1t changed hands sew
eral times, and at last found its way into
the possession of Mrs. Crolly. by whom
it was transferred to Welsh. Shortly
afterwards it became known that Good
win was dead when the foreclosure was
made, which invalidated the title.

A Wheat ScTeed.

There seems to be disposition to try

spot wheat, says the Market Record.
1t is said of ShittleSS far merS that their
cattle have to be lifted in the spring
through pulling them up by the tail.

Vancing the price of spot wheat, it would
seem has been too often tried to leave
that problem in the experimental stage.
Flour is very dull. 1t is pretty we'll
held. and with accidents that are liable
to our own crop, or the crops of some
others, it may be lifted from the rut it
has fallen in, but it may be long time
before the product will move satisfac-
factorily merely by increasing the cost
of material used in its manufacture.
Some parties insist that the real cause
of the prevailing dizziness in -four comes
from loss of appetite. through the pre-
vailing epidemic. If that is so. and the
people have consumed only tbree-fourths
of the usual supply of bread this
winter, as its claimed, then the law of
averages will make it all right by whet-
ting the appetite when the epidemic is
over. Like the tide forced back by a
temporary storm, consumption of bread
will come with great rush, when the
people get their stOmachs. So there is
not the least use in Juggling on their
boot straps, or doing no better when
they pay too high for spot wheat, Just
to say spot wheat is very stiff and it
ought to pull up -four"

THAT LITTLE DEFICIT.

Committee Talks it Over.

The State Republican League
Committee Talks it Over.
The executive committee of the Re-
publican state league assembled in ses-
sion yesterday merning at the rooms of
the Union league, and did not con-
clude until after o'clock. The session
was secret one, and such news as
could be gained was what the members
cared to give out. The meeting had
been called for the purpose of selecting
delegates to the convention of the Re
publican leagues of the United States
to be held in Nashville, Tenn, March 4,
but for those who are in the habit of
looking at the true inwardness of things,
it was actually for the purpose of
studying the conditions of the leagues
finances. and closer acquaintance with
the $1,000 deficit that the state league
has on its hands.
All but three members of the commit
tee responded to the call, and the fol-
lowing lights of the Republican arena
were present: r. G. Evans, E. A. Sum-
mer. Minneapolis; Tams Bixby, Red
Wing: w. E. Lee, Long Prairie: George
OwatOnna; E. B. Evans. Spring Garden;
w. ID. JOubert, Litchteld; ID. w. Bruck-
art, st. Cloud; w. }. Munro, Morris;
Nj. ID. Mum, St. Paul; and G. &. Ed
wards, Spring Valley.
There was a considerable amount of
discussion over the appointment of the
delegates to the national convention.
and the following were finally appoint
ed, together with the officers of the
state league, who will act as members
eX-officio: AT large, w. E. Lee, Long
Prairie; W. II. Eustis, Minneapolis.
First district, W. A. Sperry. OwaIOnna;
j. A. Tawney, Winona. Second district,

Mortified. Fourth district, A. C. Haul
gan, Minneapolis; George NJ Nelson,
st. Paul. Fifth district, S. F. Wadhams,
Duluth: c. I. Gunderson, Alexandria.
After this business was disposed of
the association tackled the real problem
and spent some THE hours ia discus
Sion of the leagues financial condition.
A few of the committee were under the
impression that affairs were not as bad
as had been stated, but after going over
such accounts as were at hand, it was
finally agreed that the Indebtedness
would reach $1,000 OF $4,000.
The committe was unanimous in its
opinion that this Indebtedness should be
paid off as soon as possible, and arrange
ments were made toward that end. The
committee was divided in its opinion as
to whether the best means would be by
assessment or subscription, and it was
finally decided to do nothing further
in the matter until the return of Presi-
dent t. E. Byrnes from Washington,
and an adjournment was finally taken
until March Is, that being the day on
which he has written that he will be pre-
pared to meet il.

MUNICIPAL COURT NOTES.
Judge Emery Makes a Ruling on
the Game Laws.

Judge Emery Makes a Ruling on
the Game Laws.
Mrs. Nellie Fitchette, the proprietress
of Coffee Johns Oyster GrOttO." on
Nicollet avenue, was arrested yesterday
on complaint made by NJ. d. Elliott,
charging her with violating the game
laws by selling venison out of season.
MIR. Elliott is the agent of the Mime
sofa Game Protective society. He testi-
fed that on the 10Th inst. he went into
the restaurant and ordered two veniS0n
steaks, which were served to him fried.
Coffee John took the stand and declared
that he had not sold any venison to
Elliott. lie admitted that he had VEN
ison on the bill of fare, but said that
when his regular customers called for
veniSon he told that it was against the
law to serve it out of season, but when
"HOOsier." or a man that didn't know
the difference called for it, he fixed up
bear steaks and served them for ven
isOn. Judge Emery held that under
the present law it was necessary for
conviction to show that the party
charged with having game in his pos
session out of season, had the whole
carcass of the animal. Mrs. Fitchette
was discharged. j. III. Davis, q pro-
vision dealer OH First avenue south,
pleaded guilty to selling venison out of
season and was fined $40 and costs. The
complaint which was made by ID. A.
Locke against IL. f. Suameska of keep
ing a vicious dog, was dismissed after
the court had been assured that the dog
would be killed. Anna Gordon, of l32
North Ninth street. who, according to
the stories told by the police, has been
F,f orb M Strp-
Specialize designation house. was be-
fore the court on the charge of keeping
a house of ill-fame. Her attorney ell
tered plea OF guilty, and said that as
this was the first time his client had
ever been arrested he would ask the
court to deal lepiently with her. Judge
Emery said that while it was true that
this was her first appearance in court
she should have been arrested long ago,
as her business was the most dangerous
that could be carried on in the commun-
ity. He sentenced her to ninety days in
the workhouse, but suspended sentence
for three days to allow her to break UP
her place and to leave the city. Lena
Meyers, who was arrested in the house,
pleaded guilty to occupying apart
ments in house of ili-fame, and was
fined $50. Carl McNeider, who runs
billiard hall and pool room at 701 Sixth
avenue north was fined $40 for violating
the license ordinance. He had allowed
a gang of small boys to cOngregate about
his place, and two of them were sent to
the reform school on Wednesday for
burglarizing store to obtain money to
spend in the place. He was warned
that repetition of the offense would
cause his license to be revoked. Ole

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Physicians Say the Dog Did Not
Have the Rabbies.


The people of Northeast Minneapolis
who were bitten by the supposed mad
dog on Wednesday night were reported
yesterday as getting along nicely, and
the physicians who are attending them
do not fear any serious results. While
many OF the citizens still adj
here to the belief that the
dog actually had the rabies
scientists and physicians who have made
the subject special study are inclined
to doubt it. While there are several
authentic cases of wolves having the
rabies, in dogs the actual disease, es-
pecialiy IN this country, is very rare,
and people are too often led to believe
that vicious dog is mad and that his
bite means hydrOphobia to the victim.
1t was asserted last night that the dog
which attacked so many people had
been abused until he was crazed, and
suppoSing that every one and everything
was going To lnjure him, made
defensive rather than an aggressive
fight. This theory is partially borne
out by the fact that the dog did not go
out of his way to attack anyone, but
only snapped and jumped at those who
got In his way. The doctors say that,
inaSmuch as the dog had torn the cloth
ing of several persons before he ac-
tually drew blood from any of his VIC
tins, even if he was mad, there
would be but little danger of a wound
becoming dangerous, as in biting the
cloth the poisonous secretion would be
destroyed. DR.. S. S. Kilvington, who
has made rabies a special study for
over year, said last night that he had
no doubt that the dog was crazy rather
than mad, and cited the instance of
horse in Chicago last summer which
acted in much the same manner as did
the East Minneapolis dog. The horse
bit several persons and number of
other horses, but both the horses and
men recovered. He agreed with the
other physicians that the persons who
had been bitten had no cause for alarm.

new ballot boxes. He claims that the
signatures of some fifteen Legislators,
which the paper contained. were all
forged. and Foraker and Halstead made
the mistake of publishing the document
before the fraud was discovered, and it
was then too late. He is firm in the
conviction that the whole scheme was
plot formed by Foraker's enemies to
down him, which was only too success
full.
Mr.. Couger was loud in his eplogles of
the defeated statesman, and still thinks
that he is future great man. The de-
feat was simply mistake, and mis-
takes. he thinks, are not charged up

THE BOYCOTT is ON.
Cigarmakers Make an Earnest
Appeal to the Public.

The cirgarmakers are out with their
circular, in which they boycott e. ii.
Chandler and F.C. Lauer, the cigar
manufacturers, from whose shops the
union men walked out some days ago.
This document not only recites the
cause of the trouble, but gives Mr..
Lauer's side OF the story with the claim
that it is misleading, especially at the
point where he says he that he is I'M
able to pay the present union rates on
account of the increase in the price of
stock. In this respect the paper says:
1.-The falseneSs of this claim is abund-
antly proved by the testimony of num-
Der of leading manufacturers, who en-
phatically deny that there has been any
such raise in the price of raw material.
In fact, it IS only Subterfuge of Mr.,
Lauer'S to cover UP the injustice of his
course in cutting down the wages of
labor"
The paper winds up with an appeal to
the community at large for support in
the following terms: "The prosperity
of community largely depends upon
the steady employment of It's citizens
and the amount of wealth that is dis
tributed each week OF month In wages.
When people are generally employed at
consumption of useful and necessary
articles, the benefcientresultso of which
are Immediately felt in all branches of
industry and trade. When people are
idle OF are employed at low wages their
power to consume is leSSened, and this,
too, is soon felt in the trade of the com
munity. and soon complaints are heard
on every hand of dull trade and hard
times.
eve therefore respectfully appeal to
you for your sympathy and ala in fur
thering our interests, and ask you to ham
die only cigars bearing the blue label of
our organization and made In this city;
and also ask you to refuse your patron
age to E. III. Chandler and f. G. Lauer,

sent TO run their shops on union prin-
ciples. which accord with equity and
fairness"

CLEMENTsoN's DENIAL.
He Declares That False Stories
Have Been Told About Him.

Z. J. E. Clementson is very indignant
because of the stories which have been
circulated concerning him by parties
interested in the late Kicker trial.
What has caused the wrath of Mr.. Glen
entson is rumorS that have been afloat
relative to the sale of his stock of goods
to w. w. Thomas, and the statements
that he retained key to the
store after it had been turned over to
Thomas, and by use of it, distracted
goods from the store after it had been
made over to Thomas. All these various
stores are characterized by Mr.. Glenn
entsop as lies made out of broadcloth a
yard wide" He denies the whole story
in toto. and asserts that these rumors
have been started for the sole purpose
of injuring his reputation by enemies
of his-enemies for personal reasons.
In regard TO the key which it has been
said he retained after the transfer of
the stock TO Thomas, he says that he
had nothing In his possession for four
days before the store was sold. lie de-
