FOUR HUNDRED OF ,EM.
That Number of Creditors of the
State Bank Want Money

State Bank Want Money.
The suit of Hans II. Olson against
the stockholders of the State bank
Whlch mas been long expected, was be-
gun IN Judge Belden's court yesterday.
Olson is one of 400 creditors who want
money from the banks stockholders
and they were represented by John w.
Arctander. The stockholders were rem
resented by host of attorneys.
1t had not been supposed that the
case would be brought to trial until the
assigneeship of the bank had been de-
termined, and the exact amount of as
sets had been ascertained. After a
tedious discussion by Messrs. Pierce
ana Arctander, Judge Koon said it was
ABOUT time to find out the maximum
liability, and how much the stockhold-
ers We're involved. Under the decision
OF the supreme court, such a proceed
ing was entirely proper An interlocu-
tory Judgment must then be rendered
and the final judgment and amounts
Tor which the stockholders will be
liable, If at all, must be secured later
The attorneys agreed with Mr.. Koon.
and the case formally opened by the
presentation of the complaint by John
W. Arctander, attorney for the plain
tiff. Judge j. o. Pierce led the forces
for the defendant.
The day was principally spent in the
introduction of the necessary books
and exhibits. Assistant Bank Exam
iner Lonegren was put on the stand
to identify the papers filed in that
office. He was followed by Kristian
Kortgaard and others, and the work of
tracing up the stock owned by each
stakeholder was begun. 1t will require
some time to get at the meat of the
case.

STATE MUSEUM.
Latest Scheme to Save the Expo
Building.

The man who has not scheme for
the preservation of the exposition prop
erty these days is behind the times. &
Schemes ranging all the dizzy distance
from capitol sites to dance pavilions
and museums have been suggested
but while this fanciful conjecturing is
going on, George w. jerks, who has
been working night and day to raise
subscriptions to save the property from.
an impending assignment, is crying
aloud for assistance, which comes to
him only in paltry dribs.
The latest scheme is to make the
great hall state museum, and the
feasibility of the idea has made d
great many people take it to their
hearts and warm it. Minnesota is
without a display hall for the exhibit
ton of her splendid resources, and the
converting of the big exposition buildI
ing into hall for the display of agri4'
culture, horticulture and mineral prod
uctS would in a few years prove of in
calculable benefit to the city 1t is
argued that the establishment of such
a museum would be a pride to the state
and a valuable cquisition because of
it's educational features to students of
the state university.
A number of prominent men, includ-
ing G. A. Pillsbury, s. E. Olson, W. L..
Harris and T. B. Janney, have ex--
pressed themselves heartily in favor
of the idea, and it is probable that
meeting will be held in a few days to
sound public opinion on the matter.

OF LEPROUS PARENTS.
A Sensational Charge Is Made
Against School Children.

The residents of the Greeley school
district, which school is located at
Twenty street and Seven
teenth avenue south, are in a condi-
ton of great excitement over the al
legged discovery that one of the chill,
dren attending the school is the son
of leprous parents. The matter was
brought to the attention CT Supt. NJ
Jordan yesterday at late hour by
lady living in the district, who de-
clared that the child's parents were
afflicted with leprosy and the lad had
no business in the school. For fear
Of contagion, Supt. Jordan reported
the case to the health Office, but as
far as could be learned last night that
department had not taken any ac-
ton in the matter. The superinten-
dent himself is not greatlY exercised
over the matter, seeming to believe
that the case is a mistake. He said,
however, that he had called the at
tention of the board of health, and
DR.. Van Der Herck, the attending
physician of the family, to the report.
The family lives on Fifteenth ave-
nue. south, near Twenty-sixth street.

DEAD TOUGH LUCK,
Mr.. TimberIake,s Jury Service
Costs Him His job

Mr.. TimberIake,s Jury Service
Costs Him His Job.
B. H. Undertake, one of the jurors
in the Hayward trial, is involved in a
disagreement with his former employ
ers, the Union Life Insurance COM
pany, over the amount of wages due
him. The case is being settled by ar
bitration, A. G. Mosher acting for Mr..
Timberlake and A. A. Kelly for the
insurance company. The third man is
L. A. Cobb.
1t seems that Undertake entered the
service of the company last summer
at a salary of 800 a month, his con-
tract expiring Feb. /. Just week
before his term was up he was ac-
cepted on the jury, and taken rather
Unexpectedly away from his duties.
The morning he left for the court
house the manager of the company
asked him what about his salary?"
He had received none since Dec. Is,
and, had he filled out his time, would
have been $3.50 the company's creditor.
He told them that he would not ask
salary for the last week, but that did
not suit them, and he left without
coming to a settlement.
During the trial he requested a par
tial payment of the amount through
his wife. but was refused. One of the
officials came down to the court house
little later to have him sign some
papers, which he refused to do, not
being compelled to do business while
serving on the jury. The question of
a settlement was again preached, and
he offered to compromise on 500, but
they would only grant him $75, and
again they failed to come together
The company has since gone to the
trouble of discharging him, as he had
been chosen again at the January
meeting to serve another year, and
now the question is, how much will
they pay him for his services, prior TO
his service on the jury?

MASONIC TRIAL.
A Thousand MasOns Assemble to
Hear Charges Against u Brother.

A Thousand MasOns Assemble to
Hear Charges Against u Brother.
An unusual event in local Masonic
history occurred last night in Ma
sonic Temple. A member Of the or
der was tried by his peers on the
charge Of attempting to defraud one
of the Minneapolis Masonic lodges
in which he recently took high de-
gree. Every member of Masonic
lodges resident here and in good
standing was, as a consequence,
obliged not only to be present, but
to participate in the trial and as
s1st in arriving at a decision, I'M
less illness or some other equally i'm
perative cause prevented, in which
case he was required to send an ex-
cuse by one of his brother Masons.
The trial occurred in one of the
larger lodge rooms, and even there
the number in attendance was so
great that many had to stand. It
is estimated that between 500 and
LOCO Masons were present when the
trial opened.
The Mason on trial was S. S. Sabin,
of Shakopee, who is charged with
having taken several degrees in one
of the local lodges. When it came to
paying the customary fees, accord
ing to the charges made last evening,
he handed over check for the
amount. The check was taken to
the bank, where it was found that
there was no money on deposit.
In order to permit Mr. Sabin to
make it right, he was called upon
to make up the amount called for in
the check before the charges were
made. This, it is claimed, he re-
fused to do; hence the trial
Although, at a late hour last night,
all of the facts in the case had not
been brought out, it was the gem
eral belief that all charges could be
cleared up by Mr.. Sabin before the
not entirely to blame in the premises.
While the facts in the present trial
are apparently trivial, there is much
connected with it that is important,
and which concerns only the Masonic
bodies.
The custom of holding trial of any
member of the order is so rare and 1t
is so seldom necessary to resort to
this stringent means of securing the
ends of justice, that many of those in
attendance last evening had never
been through like ceremony, al
though in this list were included
Masons who have taken every degree
in the blue lodge and some who have
assembled into the higher branches of
the Masonic tree.
To what an extent the Masonic or
ders have control of their members is
shown by the trial Every member
was served with summons, made out
in due legal form, with the name of the
person summoned on it, and contain
ing briefly the charges against Mr..
Sabin. This was signed by the proper
officers of the lodge to which the per-
son summoned belonged, and had at
tached the great seal of the order.
Upon it's receipt, in acknowledgment
of his obligations, it was incumbent
upon the member to be present last
night.

Brackets offer to deed the addi-
tional property, consisting of one
lot and portions Of two lots, as a
further assurance Of the removal
of the encumbrance." And again
that the conditions" affecting the
removal of the encumbrance" can
be found in paragraph added to the
deed.
The fact of the matter is that the
gentlemen who composed the old
board of charities and corrections,
and the aldermen who voted for the
$4,000 bond issue, allowed their anx-
iety to help out "a good fellow"
which Mr.. Bracket most assuredly
is, to interfere with their judgment.

ness-like transaction from the day

LOSF-A MAN.
John s. Tucker Goes South to Join
MENACE

John ). Tucker, formerly manager of
the Old Pittsburg Coal company, of this
city, mas gone South to escape the
rlSors OF a Minnesota spring. Letters
received by MIR. fuckers friends in
the last few days convey the intelli-
gence that the gentleman is in Mexico
and will not return. Mr.. Tucker left
the city abruptly week ago last Sat
urday, and left behind him, according
to veracious Dame Rumor, unpaid bills
and notes to the extent of several
thousand dollars.
IucAer was well known in certain
circles in Minneapolis, where he Gre
ated himself a good fellow after the
most approved fashion in the swell re-
sorts most frequented by gentlemen of
oloulous habits. He appeared to have
pieh.y OF money,and never paid for the
drinks without flashing a roll.
1t is said that about a month ago
whlle talking to the proprietor of a
local gin mill, the conversation drifted
on commercial topics. The saloon
man had just made out a $500 note
which he was about to take over to
the bank and get discounted, when
Tucker volunteered to do the errand.
He took the note, but failed to cash
II that day, and to the saloon man
explained that he had left it at his
ONCE by mistake, but would return ii
at once. This was the last that gin
mill saw of Tucker. He took the note
10 the 1rish-American bank and had
1t discounted, receiving $3.50 in cash.
The next morning he told his book
keeper fearful tale about his little
girls illness in Burlington, To-, and
took the train for Burlington that day.
He has not been seen since.
In his letter to a friend, Tucker saws
he was in the hole" and there was
nothing else for him to do The mis-
sing man also had an account with
the Philadelphia & Reading Coal com
pany, and they are out just 81, $50 by
his flight. w. NJ. Booth, the book
keeper of the concern, who had put I'D
$500 security to secure his position, is
out that amount. and a clerk in a
branch office in st. Paul is also out a
like sum which he deposited with the
careful Tucker.
Tucker is man of very engaging
manners, and is highly connected. A
few years ago he was married to a
daughter of the late Judge Newton, of
Burlington, To-, who has lately made
application for a divorce, alleging de-
Sertion and cruelty.

Figures Tell.

Since the introduction of Cod
liver Oil into the treatment of
consumption, the average life
of patients has increased from
two to eight years. The num-
Der of cases cured in the early
stages of the disease has multi
piled, and physicians now assert
that consumption can almost al
ways be averted if good care and
treatment are begun in time.
Cod-liver Oil ought always to
be a part of the treatment, and
it should be taken in the form
of SCOTS Emulsion, which is
palatable and does not derange
digestion. SCOTS Emulsion is
in every way superior to plain
oil. Don't accept a substitute!

Health Commissioner Avery is
wroth because of the criticisms of c.
l.. Smith, assistant state dairy COM
missioner, published in a morning pa
per. Mr.. Smith thinks the health de-
partment is OVERRIDING matters some
what in its effort to stamp out tu-
berculosis in dairies, and seems to
think that the health officers are more
frightened than hurt.
Health Commissioner Avery, who
has been very active in the work. as
sisting DR.. Hewett at every opportun-
ity, says Mr.. Smiths opinion is not
worth much on q scientific matter,
and his statement that the agitation
was started by the veterinarians is en-
tirely incorrect. The notice of the
health department, says the doctor,
was first attracted by diseased meat
being offered for sale. But three
diaries have been inspected, and over
thirty head Of diseased animals have
been killed.
DIR. Avery say his department is
very much in earnest and the work of
investigating the dairies will be rig
idly kept up, Notwithstanding the
