WARRANT FOR sNIDER.

He Must Show Why He Should
Not BE Punished for Contempt.
Samuel P. SnideT was once q congress
man. AS such he was not subject to
arrest while in the discharge of his Off
ciaI duties. But he is now congress-
man no longer. The courts have Juris-
diction over his freedom, and are i'll a
fair way to exercise that jurisdiction.
Yesterday Judge Hooker issued an at
tachment against the person or Samuel
Z, Snider. Sheriff Ege has it and will
serve it, 1t will be unusual to see an
eX-cOngreSSman up on charge Of con-
tempt of court, but his appearance will
serve to elucidate rather complicated
question Of law.
The trouble, it seems, all grows out of
that old suit, so familiar to the public,
of EbeneZer q. Wallace against M. l..
HalloWell Jr. and Samuel p. Snider, or
the firm of M. l.. HalloWell Jr. q Co.,
brought to recover on certain promlS-
sorry notes. The case was set for a
hearing Tuesday and eX-COHgressman
Snider had been subp9naed to appear on
that date. To the surprise of the plain
tiff he did not do so and refused to obey
the subpenae. He took the ground
that he. as party to the suit, was not
obliged to appear unless he saw fit.
This stand. he says, the courts will up
hold him in when the matter IS heard.
The attachment was given into the
hands of Sheriff Eye. and Judge Hooker
issued an order for Mr.. Snlder to show
cause on Saturday next, at the special
term of court, why he should not be
punished for contempt of court in re-
fuSing 10 obey the subpRnae.

PARK BOARD LAWS.
Pres ident boring Says the Mime
apoIis Act Is Model.


"We expect to get the representatives
of the Duluth and st. Paul park boards
to meet with US some time within a
week." said C.M. Loring, president of
the Minneapolis park board, yesterday.
Representatives of the three park
boards of the state were expected to
meet in Minneapolis this week, but they
have been unable to get together yet.
The object of the proposed conference
is to outline something definite in the
way of park board law for the legislat-
ure to act upon. The members of the
Minneapolis park board do not want any
changes made in the Minneapolis park
board act.
II consider that our park board act is
about perfect" said President Loring
Yesterday. 1T is, in my opinion, as
good as, or better than, the park board
act of any other city in the country.
Our powers are so defined and confined
thas there is no danger of our getting
hold of land which we ought not have,
or of our contracting debts which we
cannot pay. Some people have an idea
that we can issue bonds. But we are
limited in two ways. We are limited,
first on the per cent limitation on city
Indebtedness; second, by that provision
in the park board act forbidding the
issuance of bonds to such an extent that
the interest will be more than $4,000 a
year. We can't issue bonds anyhow
without going to the council.

MORE FILES GONE.
Papers in Kingsley VS.. Hildreth

Papers in Kingsley vs.. Hildreth
Are Missing.
Another case of missing files was
found in the district court yesterday
when an attorney sent in request for
File No. $3.50. When the envelope was
handed to him he found nothing in it.
The files which have been distracted
are in the suit of w. G. Kingsley against
Jeff Hildreth, which was begun i'll July
of 1888, to recover $3.50 on a certain
promissory note. Judgment was en-
tered by default. Hildreth had no
property, and so the matter was dropped
until few weeks ago, when Kingsley
thought he saw chance to collect the
old Judgment, and instructed his at
tornev TO have transcript prepared.
The attorney visited the court house
Yesterday to have the desired transcript
prepared, but everything of record in
the case was gone, judgment roll. com
plailH and everything else. The result
is shat Kingsley will probably lose his
$3.50, and as even the note upon which
the suit was originally brought has dis
appeared. 1t would be interesting to
know just how many of the $4,000 files
in the vault in the clerks office contain
the proper papers, or any papers at all.

Mr.. Cleveland Resting From His

LAKEWOOD, N. D., Feb. 16. - Mr..
Cleveland remained at home all day
today, and had no callers of political
prominence. He is not yet ready to
announce the names of the men
who will be secretary of the
navy, secretary of agriculture and
attorney general. The candidates who
were supposed to have the best chances
for the position are Congressman Hill
ary A. Herbert, eX-Gov. Francis, of
Missouri, and ex-Solicitor General
jerks, of Philadelphia. The selection
of Hoke Smith, of Georgia, and Senator
Carlisle, of Kentucky, is, however, said
to weaken the chances of Herbert for
the reason that he would make the
third Southern man, while New Eng
land and the far West would go unrep-
resented. There is no certainty, how :
ever, that Mr.. Cleveland will regard

cabinet.

Assignment of the Manager of
Two Savings Banks.

Two Savings Banks.
CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-William G. Will
Jams, the manager of two small private
savings banks, made voluntary as
signment today. The liabilities are es-
timated at $175,0OO. and the assets at
about the same number. Williams
had placed 5000 little cast iron savings
banks among Workingmen, and had an
arrangement by which, once a month,
they were to deposit the contents OF the
little bank, which was always re-
tanned by the owner, Williams keeping
the key in the big bank. Depositors
were then to receive 4 per cent interest
On all deposits. He claims that dis
agreement with his cashier caused the
friends of the latter to make run on
the bank and compelled him to assign.
He had not been operating for month,
and none of the holders of the
little cast iron banks had deposited their
savings in the big bank, except a few
people who were anxious to see how
much they had saved. AS the mat
ter now stands about 5000 people
have cast iron banks which are
the property of Williams and
which they cannot open without his
key, and he cannot open them until he
has an order from the court. The hold
ers of the title banks will now be COM
PEELED to save their own money until
they are told what they must do with 1t.

ing samples of the stuff for some time
past and has secured enough evidence

nances. Inspector Parry is looking
after several bakeries where short
weight bread is made and sold and in a
short time will cause them considerable

frances to the Hall.
TOPEKA. Kan, Feb. 16.-At o'clock
half of the Republican members left the
hall for supper, while the other half
guarded the hall until the return of their
brothers in arms. Ali was very quiet at
O'Clock, even in the vicinity of the
capitol. The distance between the
pcketS increases at the dlmlnu-
ton of apprehension. The house
is prepared for another night
of Watching and waiting. A company
of the national guard from Marion was
invited to enjoy the downlness OF the
carpet in representative hall tonight.
"Wednesday night they slept on the stone
floor in the basement of the building.
Strengthened late this afternoon by ad-
dltional barricades at the eastern and
western entronces. The scaffolding in
the second story of the dome
was taken down and piled upon
the back stairway and across the top
landing of the front stairway, leaving
only a narrow passage, which was
guarded by a score of youths armed
with muskets. The stronghold of the
lawmakers. while not rendered i'm
pregnable. is made almost unapproach-
able, which answers the same purpose.
GounterSgns and signals are every
where. 1t would be almost at the risk
of their necks for the venerable Kansas
statesmen to climb over the ladders,
logs, boxes and broken-up chairs which
litter the stairWays.
Most of the time in the senate today
was consumed with speech-making by
the Populists, deprecating the methods
employed by their opponents in gaining
possession of the house of representa-
tives. However, infammatory speeches
were not indnlged in. aud it seems to be
the aim of both factions to adjust the
affairs of the state government
without serious trouble. A scheme
to entrap the military sta
toned as pickets at the ent-
RANGES to the state building into inter
terence with the United States authori-
fies was tried this evening, but failed
signally. In charge Of the luncheon
being taken to the hungry lawmakers
in the capitol were two postmen. 1t
was expected that they would be chal-
lenged by the guards OIL duty, but they
were allowed to pass the lines without
molestation, much to their chagrln. The
barrlcaded Republicans took the situa-
ton in happy light, and concluded
they would be no longer troubled about
getting their meals.

Nixon's Version of That Gresham
Editorial Incident.


CHICAGO, Feb. 16. - William Penn
Nixon, of the Inter Ocean, tonight re-
piled to the statement Of Judge f. Z.
Field, of Crown Point, Ind, regarding
the attitude Of Judge Gresham on the
tariff during the Republican con-
vention of 1888. Mr.. Nixon says he
wrote the editorial, and, in company
with another gentleman, called upon
Judge Gresham for his sanction to
the article. Before he had heard it,
Judge Gresham declared that he
was already beaten man,
and, as he had already refrained from
making any bid for the nomination., ne
was fearful Of being misunderstood If
the editorial was published by his au-
thority. He wished to make no public
statement whatever, but had no
objections to the appearance OF
the editorial. He would not give
1t the character Of an official
utterance, however, and Mr.. Nixon and
his friend withdrew. MI. Nixon de-
clares that Judge Field was not present
at the interview, as he is reported to
have claimed to be, but that he and his
friend were alone with Judge Gresham.
