DONALDsON'S ANNUAL.
Yesterday the Big Store Was
open ed" for Spring.

Yesterday the Big Store Was
"Open ed" for Spring.
Yesterday was tete day in Donald
sons big glass block store. The annual
spring opening at this store has come to
be regarded by the shoppers of the city
as an event-a social event OF impor-
lance it might be called, for surely So
ciety was represented. The big show
windows and the interior OF the store
were in fete day dress. Danz's orches-
ira furnished the music, which made
the occasion seem like promenade
concert. And the flower display cX-
ceeded that of a small ball. Flowe:s
were everywhere in profusion. The
perfume. laden air harmoniZed we'll
with the beautiful surroundings.
Each succeeding spring opening al
DonaldSon'S surpasses all preceding
ones. The notable feature of the "op-
enlng" yesterday was that the whole
five floors participated in 1t. Formerly
the two upper floors of the store mad
little to offer in the way of attractions.
All that is changed now. Yesterday
every floor, from basement to roof, was
crowded with all attractive display OF
the newest and best goods. On the two
upper floors is carried line of fur
niture fit to he laid before king about
to furnish royal palace.
What seemed to particularly attract
ladies was the display of millinery aud
novelties specially designed for the
Easter season. Everything is there that
Is calculated to turn the heads OF the
female portion of the congregation ON
Easter morning. The list includes
everything from the quaint and original
lions from Paris. And the dainty laces,
and scarfs and little ne-thing-and-an-
other that 20 with them are there, too,
and in beWilderirg profusion.

PARKHURsi's PATENTS.
The jury Could Not Agree as to
Their Value.

A somewhat interesting and famous
case at law was ended in the United
States court yesterday by the disagree
meut of the jury. 1t was the case of
the ParkhurSt Paving Company against
The City of Minneapolis. This suit Is
tile sequel to city council row of two
years ago. The paving committee Of
the council had q long tuSSle couple
OF years ago before the contracts for
curb and gutter were let. The Parkhurst
Paving company, which manufactures
a combined curb and gutter, had been
enjoying a monopoly of this sort of
work. It's bid was too high at that
time, and another firm was awarded the
contract. The ParkhurSt company
claimed that its combined curb and gut
ter was protected by a patent, so
brought suit against the city for dam
ages. The city'S defense is that the
idea of making combined curb and gut
ter is old and nOn-patentable. The case
was on trial three days and went to the
jury Tuesday. The jury stood eight
for the plaintiff and four for the defend
ant, after long night of noisy argu-
ment, so it was discharged yesterday
afternoon.
The affairs of the firm of Krogstad &
Co., which short time ago assigned to
Matthew Walsh. were in court before
Judge Hooker yesterday upon diSclOS-
ure proceedings. 1t was shown that
one of the partners had given $4,000 for
n half-intereSt in the stock, promising
to pay $1,000 in all. but had been I'M
able to raise the remaining $1,000 before
the ASST gument. The assignee has real
lied Sc, 639.S2 from the sale of the effects
of the defunct firm.
The old suit of James K. Van DOran
against J. A. Wright to recover S165 and
interest for goods delivered will be
taken to the supreme court. The case
has been tried three times in the district
court. At the first trial the jury brought
in verdict for the full amount, Sl65;
tho second trial fixed the amount at $25,
and when the case was tried the third
time the jury thought the plaintiff
should not only have the $lG5, but also
interest. so a verdict of S2Gl was found.
The parties are still dissatisfied. and
have appealed to the higher court.
"A rumor was current in court circles
/ yesterday that Frank Hazleton has be-
come tired of court room noIOriety,
and is anxious to come to peaceful
settlement with the state and Celia
Rivett. The county attorney is deter
mined in his intention of taking up the
case should HaZleton not be willing to
agree upon reasonable terms.

employed in the mines at that place.
This morning about 10 o'clock,
while Mr.. Smith was at work in
the mine, Frazier came to Hiteman and
went to Smiths house. He called for

cred, and started on the pursuit
of the murderer. The greatest
excitement prevailed. The people fairly
went wild, and the scene was one which

mob started on its mission. Frazier was
found at Cummings Crossing, near the
Cedar mines, about two miles west of
AlDld. OIL IilG OulCdSO, DuIliuS lOH S
Quincy railroad.
Deputy Sheriff Joe Lewis. of Abba,
who was also i'll pursuit of the MUIR
derer. took charge of him, and took him
in his buggy for the purpose of taking
him to Abba. With the assistance of a
few of the cooler men the officer en-
deavored to get the prisoner
away to a place of safety.
The excited mob grew more
furious, and, SEEING the frightened
and covering murderer, took him away
| from the officer and took him back to
| Hiteman to the house where the terrible
| crime was committed. A rope was
secured and placed around bis neck,
and he was hung to tree near where
where one of the victims of his
murderous knife was lying dead
and the other two in a dying
condition. The body was left hang
/ ing to the tree. A terrible crime
hat been terribly avenged. and the i'll
furiated became clam, dispensing one
after the other to their homes. Deputy
| Sheriff Lewis took charge of the re-
mains and the coroner was sent for. 1t

blOoded murders ever committed in
Iowa, ana the anger of the people of
Htenian knew no bounds. Business
was entirely suspended, and work was
stopped for The day.

tcIudJ.
The Minneapolis Dry Goods company
gave the ladies of Minneapolis feast
of good things yesterday. IL was the
annual spring opening of the big store,
and was planned specially for the delec-
tation of the ladies. AS naturally as
TN the spring young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love"
the young woman'S fancy turns to
thoughts of Easter millinery and Access
series. The Minneapolis Dry Goods
company knows all about this tendency
of the mind feminine and prepares for
it. Yesterday miles upon miles of tinery
were unroied and spread out before tile
eyes of the feminine world i'll the big
dry goods store at Fifth street
and Nicolet. The preparations of
the pr0prietOrs of the store
were rewarded by appreciation. Young
ladies with their mammaS and young
matrOnS with their babies visited the
store by the hundreds. They all went
away promising themselves that they
would return and empty their
purses right there in the Minneapolis
Dry Goods store. The only reason
all of them did not do it yesterday was
that they were bevildered by the pro-
fuse display, and some of them felt the
necessity OF thinking it we'll before pur-
chasing. They saw so many things they
wanted that they were unable to decide
in moment what they wanted most.

THE OTHER SIDE.
Certain Firemen Explain Relief
Association Matters.


Second Assistant Chief Canterbury
and Capts. York and Malone, of the fire
department, have come out with letter
regarding the finances OF the relief as
ISOLATION. They say:
at has. been stated through the press
of this city and repeated by individuals
that the amount Of interest received
from the funds of the Minneapolis Fire
mems Relief association for the past
year amounted to but S5l6. The books
of the association show that there was
received by the association from Decem
be,, 1881, to December, 1892, from in
tereSt, the sum Of S3.S9l.31. We deem
it proper at this time to say that no in
stitution in this city is more carefully
and cOnServatively managed than this
relief association. The management of
the association is vested in a board of
directors OF Twenty-Five persons. Its
money is all in the banks of this city
upon Understanding certificates Of
deposit.
at is due to the board of directors of
this association that the Measurements
heretofore made should be corrected,
and for this reason we write this conl-
munication."

The World Will Go On.

Mayor EuSts was asked yesterday by
Aid. Schwartz. who is the secretary or
the board of health, if he should record
the protest made when Aid. Haynes
took his seat. Mayor Eustis said the
protest should be recorded, and so it
was. He made a protest at the meeting
OF the board last Saturday when Aid.
HAYNES took the seat formerly occupied
by Aid. Harvey. The latter was left
off the committee OIL health and hos
pitfalls when the council was reorgan-
lied, and Aid. Haynes chosen to fill the
place. The mayor maintained that the
seating of Aid. Haynes was illegal, and
he stuck to the same opinion yesterday.
Aid. Haynes in the meantime will at
tend the meetings of the board Of
health as though nothing had happened,
for the protest has no terr0rs for him.

DOODLE CHARGES.
They May Go before the Grand
Jury.


Some of the Minneapolis Iumbermen
do not feel like letting drop the charges
of attempted boodling in connection
with the defeat of the Wyman bill in
the logs and lumber committee of the
state house of representatives. Attor-
neyS have been consulted. They have
said, after going over all the evidence.
that a good case could be made out.
The lumbermen will not do anything
just yet. They will probably make
no move until after the adjourn
ment of the legislature. If the
legislature ordered an investigation, the
Minneapolis lumbermen, who have the
evidence, will gladly furnish it to the
investigating committee. If the legis-
lature make no move, the course that
seems likely TO be taken, the MiDneap-
oils lumbermen will carry the matter to
the grand jury.
Jurisdiction can be had either in Hen
nepin or Ramsey county. Some of the
alleged offenSeS occurred i'll the capito!

The committee appointed by Supt.
Smith to investigate the affairs of the
relief association held meeting yester-
day afternoon. The committee dis
cussed the affair pro and con, and it was
decided to bring the case before the
grand jury at the April term. Whoever
is then found responsible for the dsap-
pearance of the relief funds will be
prosecuted to the full extent Of the law.

Conference in Chicago.
CHICAGO, March pa conference of
tralnmen and conductors of the Santa
Fe and Grand Trunk roads with COM
mittee of general managers was held
this afternoon in the Commercial hotel.
Its object is to afford the general man
ayers an opportunity to give the men an
answer, which, it is understood, will be
i'll the negative to the demands which
they have made for an increase of pay.
Prior to the conference the men de-
clined to say what they would do in case
their demands were refused. A strike
is one of the possibilities, but the gen
eral managers have placed themselves
in position to meet it by acquiring
enough men to take the places OF the

but agreed To cause it to be opened by
rounding it, instead Of cutting squarely
through the property, as first proposed.
The citizens wanted it their way or not
at all, so the committee denied the re-
quest. The report OF the commissioners
on the special assessments for the grad

NOTE AND COMMENT.

1t would pay some ynterprising
amusement manager to take q vacation
for few days and sattend the Mills
meetings regularly. Il he would make
a thorough siu1y Of the plan upon
which they are conducted, he would
find his receipts increased accordingly.

amusement managers so long that II

terprise. his plan would apply 10

plan would seem 10 be, THE people

one to his meetings in the Elk posi-
ton hall without a ticket. mat
part of his plan Is already
followed by the amusement caterers.
One of his innovations Is that
no one shall be admitted after certain
hour. This is an irou-ciad rule. but the
people bow to it and it seems to work
well. Theatrical managers could, 10y
adopting this rule, do away with the
late-cOmer Nuisance in the theater.
Once inside the building, no one lSa!-
lowed to cave one of Mr.. Mills meetings
This is another iTOn-clad and copper
riyrted rule, to which the people bow.
Herein lies a suggestion to amusement
caterers of way To OOVlate the hul-
Sance of people going out between the
acts or before the play is over If they DO
not like the show. Reporters are not
allowed 10 attend Nj. Mills meet
ingS unless they present them
selves at the door before sup
per by the adoption OF this rule
amusement managers will be able 10

Will escape bad notices. These are pHt
