Memorial day was observed here in spite
of rain, and large number attended. The
exercises were held in the brick church.
On account of rain the programme was not
all carried out. The speaking and singing
by children was exceptionally fine,-decla.
nation by Harry McAlister and Fred Fas-
sett; recitation by Miss Ellen Wilder and
Nan Joslyn; singing by double quartette
and music by Gouldsvlle cornet band.
The address by Rev. f. Nj. Haynes of Rut-
land was sound in thought and some sound
points were made in relation to pensioning
the ex-solder. Exercises were all good and
speaking, etc. by children showed good
training by teachers. May the Grand Army
boys see many more Memorial days.
Quite an interesting affair occurred here
Friday afternoon the occasion being the
raising of flag over the village school. 1t
was at once caught by the breeze and waved
proudly over the audience who greeted it
with enthusiastic cheers. The exercises
consisted of a prayer by Rev Il. S. Fiske,
singing of 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" by
Ellen Wilder, presentation by u. II. Me
Alister, response by NJ. A. Bushnell, the
present director of the school (who had
charge of the exercises, recitations by Frank

by Grace Josln and Nina Newcomb, adj
dress by Rev. G.. o. Howe, singing by the
pupils of the high school, short speeches by
| Professor Buker of Waterbury Center aud
Rev. Il. S. Fiske. The exercises closed with
the benedction by Rev. Mr.. Buzzell of
Meadville Penn. A vote of thanks was
given to o. NJ. Eaton, the donor Of the flag,
and one of the schools best patrons. The
village schools wish to express their thanks
to all who assisted and especially to the
North school, who manifested their patriot
ism by attending in body.
The sermon on Memorial Sunday was de-
J livered by Rev. George o. Howe. The fol-
lowing lines to the old soldiers, in connec-
ton with the sermon from Isaiah xiii: 81,
we quote as being Mr.. Howe's closing re-
marks;

The superior purity,

never questioned.

While other baking powder makers are exposing
the impurities and shortcomings of the powders

question is raised, no doubt is entertained of the

of the Royal Baking Powder. 1t stands alone,

Exhaustive Government tests the tests by

the minute and prejudiced searches by rivals for
something wrong, have had but one result, to
more fully establish the fact that the Royal Bak

absolutely pure and wholesome.

A Farmers, Kick.

The people of Independence, at a
town meeting held week ago, passed
some spicy resolutions that partake of
the spirit of the name of the place.
They are to the effect that the public
money of Hennepin county has been
and is being paid out to individuals and
classes, rather than in favor of the
masses; that money has been appropri-
ated for work done at Lake Minnetonka
that should have gone to other parts of
the county; that fabulous and eXtraya-
CANT prices have been paid out for sup
plies and work done in and about the
court house; that almost all personal
property is assessed too high. and much
real estate given higher valuation
than it could be disposed of at either
public or private sale.
A protest is also made against the
building of the mammoth court house
now under construction at MINNEAPOLIS.
and the opinion is expressed that the
court house commission has been ex-
travagant, and that the fee allowed the
architect of per cent is simply down
right robbery.

TIME WAS MONEY ONCE.
But the Police Have Made 1t a
FinabIe OffenSe.


The gay gamboliers'' have been
made to feel the weight of the law
again. Two resorts where the old saw.
'time is money!" was carried out liter
ally, we've raided. These were Sumner
JOhnsOn's place, at POS Third street
south, and John Grimes, at sos Second
avenue south. The gambling devices
running there are known as ''clocks.''
The clock rules sort of stock market.
Spectators buy and sell grain and
other stocks just as if they really ex-
listed. The clock takes the place of
correspondents and agents in the mar
kets of the world and controls the quo
tations.
At2 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
arrests were made by Detectives Hav
and King. They went first to .Johnson's
place and arrested the proprietor and
his three ''brokerS.'; Grimes and his
employees were next corralIed. The
patrol wagon carried the clocks and A
large stock OF stationery to the lookup
Both rooms were crowded when raided.
OF course the crowd stampeded. The
rush from JOhnSOn'S back door caused
some discomfort to Officer CZaid. who
was stationed there. He was knocked
down and his face cut. Only the pro-
prletorS and their employees were ar
rested. The police had sent spot
ters'' to both places and had
good case. The gamblers
suspected it. When arraigned
later they were willing to plead guilty.
Robert JanisoI appeared for the pris-
oners. He pleaded, in their behalf, that
they had not understood how the ad-
ministratiOn looked upon their business.
They had never been warned against
continuing the business, as other gam
biers had. If all but johnson and
Grimes could be released, he would as
sure the court that they would not re-
engage i'll the business. Judge Ma
honey fined the six employees of the
houses $50 each, and suspended SEN
tence on condition that they stay out of
the business. Grimes and johnson paid
500 each. Both thought that they
should have been warned if the adj
ministration wanted them to stop.
Supt. Henderson SAID they had been
warned. He would have arrested them
before if he could have established a
good ease

MRS. POTTER's MYSTERY.
1t Involves Her Disappearance
and Possible Case of Bigamy.

There seems to be story behind the
disappearance of Mrs. Agnes Potter. re-
ported in yesterdays GLOBE. Cyrus
Potter, her husband. is suspected of
knowing where she is or why she dis
appeared. He works for Harrison, Far
rngton & Co. AS Potter would be a
gamer by the woman's disappearance.
1t is easy TO see why he is suspected.
Mrs. CiariSSa Carr, of Lake City. Mrs.
Potter's mother, is now in Minneapolis.
prosecuting the inquiry for her daugh-
ter.
Agnes Carr married Cyrus Potter at
Lake City some twelve years ago. They
did not live happily together After
two years OF domestic infellcity they
separated. They have never lived to-
gether since and never saw each other,
it is believed, until couple of months
ago. One child, now with the grand
parents at Lake City, was the fruit of
the union. Potter has never seen the
boy. About three months ago she came
to Minneapolis and was employed by
Mrs. Dora Harmon. 1919 Fourth street
north. as 4 domestic. From there she
went, Feb. %. to work for Thomas
Moore, on Nicollet island. Her actions
were so peculiar that Mrs. Moore

setting her teeth and clenching her
hands. Sometimes she would stand
before mirror, running out her
tongue and making all sorts of grimaces.
Because of her unusual manner, she
was discharged. Since then she has not
been seen. While the woman was work.
ing for Mrs. Moore, Potter called to see
her several times. Once since she left.
Mrs. Moore said, he came around and
walked up and down in front of the
house as il watching for some one.
Now as to Potter and his connection
with the case. As before stated, the
pair separated about ten years ago.
Four months ago Potter was married
again at Hudson, Wis. 1t seems that
he was never divorced from his first
wife. He says that he received letter
eight years ago, telling him that if he
would not contest, Mrs. Potter would
go ahead and secure divorce. The
letter was written from Lake City.
Now Mrs. Carr SAYS no divorce pro-
ceedings were ever begun. Potter never
Saw>a decree of divorce in the case. He
never inquired if the divorce had been
issued. He took all that for granted
Oh the strength Of the letter he re-
celVed, ana married a second time.
This he admits. He admits, too, that
he saw his former wife once since she
came to Minneapolis, claiming that she
sent for him. That is ali he will admit.
He denies any knowledge of her where
aboutS.
Mrs. Carr says that her daughter was
taking steps to prosecute Potter for
bigamy. 1t is said that warrant has
already been sworn out for his arrest.
Now she has disappeared and no one
can find any trace of her. The case is
certainly mysterious one. Potter will
be watched and investigated.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Evans & Hoey in their always-wel-
come "Parlor Match" again illuminat-
ed the Grand opera house last evening
with brilliancy and mirth. "a Parlor
Match" was the first farce-comedy from
the pen of Charles E. Hoyt. and it was
the comedy that set the pace for the
long caravan that came after of farce
comedies. Many other similar prOduc-
tions have met with more or less success
since the first production of Evans &
Hoey's play, but none have been able
to make such record, and in fact, none
have eQualed it. These funny come
dianS will play the entire week at the
grand, with matinee, Saturday after
noon.
The public listens with amusement
when the first announcement was made
that the Wilbur Opera company would
play one straight engagement at the
Lyceum theater of twelve weeks. This
was stay that was certainly hard to
believe. The idea of one organization
becoming so popular as to prolong its
visit among local amuSements for that
length OF time seemed to many dis
aStrOuS undertaking. The WilburS are
now fulfilling the fourth week of their
engagement, and as yet there has not
been the slightest sign of any falling
off in attendance, the standing room

At regular meeting of the East Side
Labor club, held at Voelker's hall, cor

tions were adopted:
Whereas, The bill now before the state
legislature, known as the police re ief
fund bill. that provides that 10 per cent
OF all municipal court fines, and so per
cent of all dog licenses, shall be turned
over to the said police fund" is such
that we believe it to be a legal steal
from the taxpayers of this city. and
gwen to class Of the best paid men in
the employ Of the city; and
Whereas, We believe, if such bill
become law, that it is nothing more
than offering premium on imDrisOn-
ment. and that innocent men would be
arrested and fined for the purpose of III
creaSing such fund:
Resolved, That they have no more
right TO any such fund than the men
that work on the streets for Sl.50 per
day, and are employed only about five
months year.
And be it Resolved, That it is class

HEILPERN BAILED.
The Little Pole Finds Sureties for
His Bonds

Leo Heilpern was released on bail
yesterday afternoon, the sureties being
Capt. c. W. Brown, of Brown & Hay
ward, and r. A. Field, foreman of the
Cascade laundry. Assistant County At
torney Davenport was before Judge
Lochren for the state, and Mr.. Long
brake appeared for his client. The
bond was ready some time ago, but the
court refused it unless the sureties
would come down and disclose as to
their real estate. This was the cause of
the little meeting in Judge Lochren's
room. Leo was brought up from the
Jail and looked happy and expectant.
The suretieS were questioned at
length, and the judge stated that he
saw no objection to the bond. which was
drawn in the sum of 81 200. Mr.. Daven-
port asked the gentlemen if they had
been secured against probable loss by
the bond, and their attorney at once OBJ
Jected to the question. Little more was
said, and the little prisoner was released
until his trial snail occur in April.
