formance of a beautiful play, Forget Me

"Deadwood Dick but il was more intelli-
gent. Some Of the most telling lines in the
play were lost to down. stairs sitters

Van Courtland gives an excellent
rendllon OF an exacting part. As Stephanie
she is unavoidably compared with some of
Amerlca's best actresses who have essayed
the role before. To her credit, be IL said she
does not suffer by the comparison. She is
handicapped by the possession of a some

however, when she reads the most dramatic
strong in IDEA and brilliant in dia-
logue. Nothing of either element is
lost in Miss Van Cortland's rendition.

Building and Loan Associations.

Eastern Examiners Report on
Building and Loan Associations.
E. M. Mcpherson and Charles Girls
void, representing the states of Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut, have just
concluded an examination of the books
of the building and loan associations of
Minneapolis. Every year those two
states send out agents to examine the
books OF the associations doing business
In these states. Of the Northwestern
institutions Mr.. Mcpherson said:
we have found no section that can equa-
this. We found things in bad shape in Kan,
sas. Their methods are bad. For instance
1t does not seem to be question with them
as to the safety of loans, but how much can
be gotten out of them. A farmer applies fer
soy at . per cent interest The loan COM
pany says he cannot have it at 6 per cent,
but he can have it at per cent. Well if
have got TO pay higher than 6 per cent, /
want $1,000, says the farmer, and the deal is
closed at 81, 600, when $50 is all the farmer
was entitled to. We have found no such
condition of affairs i'll Minneapolis-in fact,
can say, after examining all of the Mime
apoils companies, that they are in a very
healthy condition. The Minneapolis COM
panies have acted wisely, and, l tell you, 1
believe the secret Of il is-location You
are well located here, and it is only neces-
sary TO go through the country as we have, to

WANT ANEW SYSTEM,
Chamber Of Commerce Hen
Will Put in a Clearing
House.
Opening Of the Universalist
State Sunday School Con-
ventiOn.
Grand Jury Subjects Ar
raigned and Have Their
Cases Set.
Private Detectives to Work
for Ministers--StoIen From
the Street.

The members of the Minneapolis
chamber of commerce are figuring on
taking new departure in the method
of conducting business. They are fig
uring on the establishment of chamber
of commerce clearing house. Prominent
dealers in wheat have been negotiating
with gentleman until recently con-
nected with prominent board of trade
firm of Chicago. He will draw up a
plan of the clearing house and submit it
to the chamber within few days.
Few traders on Change will be found
to deny that clearing would facilitate
business Immensely. 1t would also
serve to reduce the expenses of the
traders. AS the business of chamber
OF commerce men is now carried on
deals OF wheat are taken care of on the
books as deals in real estate would be.
Each separate and distinct trade is a
separate item to be accounted for on the
DOCKS OF the company. A man may make
money to- day and lose it tomorrow.
He can never tell exactly how he stands
without taking balance on the book
something that cannot be done every
day or at moments notice. Should a
clearing house be established, all trades
between brokers and traders, between
all men doing business on the floor,
would go through the clearing house.
The next morning when business began
again. man who had made profitable
deal would receive check for the ex-
act amount of his profit. A
balance on his trades would be
taken every night in the clearing
house. AT the beginning of each day
each trader will know just where he
stands. without going through COM
pllcated aritlmetical calculation. The
clearing house would save at least one
clerks salary in each house, besides do
ing away with half the work of the
boOkkeeper.
There Is just one objection to the
adoption Of the clearing house system,
and it Is the one which deters some
chamber of commerce men from embrac-
ing it. 1t is that each traders financial
standing is open to inspection. For
that reason some of the older traders
are 10th to adopt it. They don't want
everybody to know how they stand in
the world of trade. But the young men
favor it because it will substitute sim
plicity for compleXity. 1t will probably
be adopted.

Ever Fruitful Garbage,

The health and hospital committee eff
the city council was in session nearly all
yesterday afternoon, but transacted
very little important business. The
old garbage question came up again in
the form OF an offer from the council of
GoldenValley of five acres of ground on
James Sweeney's farm, and as much
land as will be required on Sixth ave-
nue. north, for dumping grounds.
Health Officer Kelly expressed the
opinion that this plan was impractic-
able, and stated that he considered the
idea of removing the garbage to Brook
lyn. via the street railway line, the best
that had been proposed. Aid. j. S.
Gray also favored the Brooklyn scheme.
Bids for the removal of garbage have
already been advertised for.

bloodiest days in the history of Louis

yesterday includes murder. a suicide
of most deliberate character, two cut
ting affrays, which will in all prob
ability terminate fatally, and dozen
other instances in which knife or
pistol was used with effect. Carl Tay-
lor, a negro eXcursionist from Frank
fort, assaulted and attempted to shoot
Conductor William Wilder for protest
ing against his smashing the car fur
niture. Wilder's pistol went off first.
however, and the negro fell to the car
floor dead, with bullet in his brain.
Henry Zickel, West end tobacconist.
and member of the G. A. R., placed
the muZzle of his 'musket to his head
and pulled the trigger with his toe.
The whole top and side of his head was
blown completely off. The weapon
was loaded last when the civil war
ended. Drink and domestic troubles
caused the act. Two white men be-
came involved in quarrel with a negro
over game of craps, and falling upon
him beat him into insensibility and
gouged out one of his eyes.

A BOLD THEFT.
John Dubay's Horse Stolen in
Broad Day,

Broad Day.
One of the boldest and most daring
cases of horse-stealing on record oc-
Cured on Hennepin avenue yesterday
morning between and 10 o'clock, and
John Dubay is now mourning the loss
OF an animal for which he paid S10O only
a few weeks since.
The horse was standing hitched to a
buggy In front of Mr.. Dubay's office,
No. 2O0 Hennepin avenue, when two
men walked deliberately up, unhar-
messed him from the buggy, and, plac-
ing rope around his neck, led him
away. A short distance from where
the horse was taken they hired an ex-
pressman, aud, jumping into his wagon,
drove on still leading the horse. One
of Mr.. Dubay's drivers saw the men 60
ing away with the horse, but their bold
ness misled him. He believed 1t was all
right until he spoke to Mr.. Dubay of the
fact. 1t was found that the men drove
in the express wagon as far as Twen-
tieth and Hepnepin. One of the en-
ployes of the health department saw
two men driving horse answering the
description of Mr.. Dubay's in the di-
rection of Bloomington, and leading 4
black horse behind the buggy.

Work Is Ahead of Last Year.

County Treasurer Peterson, in speak
ing yesterday of au article in a morning
paper, in Which it was stated that affairs
in his office were in very unsatisfac-
tory condition, said that while errors
had crept into the work occasionally, it
was no more than could be expected.
considering the rush they had had of
late. The work this year is in advance of
its condition the same time last year.
He expected that everything would be
cleared up by the end of the present
week, whereas last year it was consid-
erably later. AS for the complaints
from the young ladies in the Office. he
had heard nothing of them. When they
were engaged he told them they would
have to work evenings part of the time,
and it was known that they would not
be paid extra. Their engagement was
only temporary, and will not last more
than two weeks longer.
