COMBINE OF CLUBS.
A Plan Submitted by Committee

A Plan Submitted by Committee
to This End.
The subcommittee appointed some
time ago to consider the matter of de-
tails of the consolidation of the board Of
trade, JObbers' association, Business
union and Commercial club held meet
ing last evening in the rooms of the Com
mercial club and offered report to the
joint committee. This report presented
a scheme for the consolidation Of these
institutions, and goes into the minor de-
tails of organization. They would have
all four examinations occupy the same
quarters, suitably arranged. They
recommend having one secretary of the
entire organization, with two as
sistant secretaries, the duties
of all being specified in
the report. They recommend that the
management of the acknowledgements
cation be in charge of an executive
committee and, board Of directors,
chosen as follows: Each organi-
cation to elect its. OWL president and
executive committee of four members.
This would give each organization an
executive aboard of five gentlemen,
These five gentlemen from each of the
four organizations should be formed
into board of directors consisting OF
twenty directors who would have the
management of the entire organization.
The matter was thoroughly discussed
in all its aspects. Of course, nothing
definite has as yet been done. 1t is by
no means positively assured that such
an organization will be completed. In
deed the chances would seem to be
against it.

NINE. MILLER FREE.
She Makes a Confession in
Open Court Of Her
Guilt.
MR.. BRACKET WILLING.
He Is Fully INDICATED and
Is Entirely Satisfied to
Drop the Case.
CASE AGAINST LOGGERS.
1t Is Decided Against the
Stakeholder Court
News.
CASE AGAINST L0GGERs.

Yesterday morning in the district
court the two blackmail cases against
Christine Miller were taken up. At the
suggestion of the county attorney, and
after confession by Mrs. Miller in
open court. the cases were nolle
pressed. Mrs. Miller was indicted by
the grand jury, and there were several
counts against her for Matchmaking
prominent citizens. Mrs. Miller was
represented by Attorney j. P. Nelson.
George a. Bracket. one of her victims.
and the first man whohad nerve enough
to take recourse in the law, was the
complaining witness in the two charges.
After the confession by the prisoner
the county attorney addressed the court
as follows:
1.-The circumstances Of this case are
somewhat peculiar in that they are
damaging to the complaining witness,
who is so well known in this commun-
ity. and II the defendant in this case
will make statements here of Tull and
clear character, generating him, the
state is willing to have this case dis
missed. The case only constitutes
miSdemeanor and is one in which the
state does not feel justified in forcing
trial under the circumstances.
Attorney Nelson, for the defendant.
reiterated the retractiOn made. MI.
Bracket was on hand in company with
Detective Hoy, and was fully armed
with extensive evidence and thirty wit
nesses for the state, but he willingly
accepted the retraction and allowed the
matter to drop.
1t will be remembered that this is the
woman who undertook to levy black
mail against several of the leading citi-
Zens of Minneapolis some months ago,
She had successfully piled her vocation
on one or two well known mOueyed
men, one of whom, banker, she sue
ceeded in bleeding to the tune OF sew
eraI thousand dollars. Finally, one
bright morning she called on George 4.
Bracket personally, and asked him to
call at her apartments that afternoon,
leading him to believe that She was in
terested i'll some property he had for
sale.
Mr.. Bracket. suspecting nothing
wrong, called at the appointed time.
After he had been talking with her
few minutes she tried to work the old
chestnut on him by screaming for help,
but it did not work. A denouement
followed, and Mr.. Bracket laid the
matter before the grand jury.
The disposition of the case is best for
all parties, as it would have called into
public a great many other prominent
citizens.

AssIGNEE's REPORT
In the Farmers and Merchants
Bank Insolvency Case.

In the Farmers and Merchants
Bank Insolvency Case.
The report Of the assignee of the
Farmers and Merchants State bank,
the Northern Trust company, will be
filed in the district court this afternoon.
The report is an interesting one, and is
accompanied by the report of Messrs.
Stocker g. Stocker, attorneys for the
assignee.
The total amount of cash collected
during the eighteen months during
which the affairs of the bank have been
in an inSolyent condition, is 1000, and
a large number of notes for indebted
ness from which something will be
realized. a number of notes given by
various parties and corporations are
now in litigation and will be good if the
suits terminate favorably to the as
signee.
One of the largest of the assets is the
Buckeye Publishing company's claim,
which is secured by $4,000 bonds and
mortgage on the plant and the subscrip-
ton list of the ''Housekeeper." A judy
ment has been taken for $4,000 Of the
amount and receiver appointed, but SO
far the assignee has been met with
legal hight at every step. Considerable
difficulty has been experienced in locat-
ing the officers and directors of the
company, but the assignee says that
there are now good prospects of secur-
ing at least a portion of the judgment.
II. d. Stocker Jr., speaking of the
Buckeye Publishing company and the
claim OF $4,000 against it now IN the
hands of the assignee, yesterday
said: II believe it to be only mat
ter of time when the property trans
ferred by the officers of the Buckeyes
company, which was paid for by
the creditors of this insolvent bank, and
which rightfulfy belongs to them, now.
locatedin the old church building, cor
ner of Seventh street and First avenus
south, will be sold by Receiver Maxs
well, under directions Of the court, and
the proceeds applied on the claims
now held by the Northern Trust CONF
pany. d.
I'VE are doing all In our power to-
bring about that result. 1t will not be-.
long before the court will have an op.4
portunfty to pass upon the validity of
the transfets made by Jackson, CAM
eroH and others, and if they are set
aside it means good deal to the cred-o
itorS of the bank" 70

turns showing an election; that the

They Meet and Give Out an Ulti-
maEJIn1.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-The bondsmen of
Walter w. Taylor, the defaulting
treasurer of South Dakota, held long
conference today. The decision arrived
at was that Charles h. Winten, John T.
McChesney, ex-Gov. Mellette, L. Ii.
McCaughey and r. G. Kiser. Jr., would
turn over to the state OF South Dakota
all their property, to. be applied upon
the shortage, the only condition at
tached being that the bondsmen be dis
missed from all other liability OIL &C
count of the bond. at present the men
who have signed TaylOr's bond
are each liable individually for the
whole amount of the shortage. All
their property may be attached, and then
if the shortage is not made good, a
Judgment will hang over them for
years, and any property they may here
after obtain will be subject to the de-
mand of the state. The condition at
tached by the bondsmen to the present
proposition is that the property they at
this time turn over to the state shall re-
lease them finally. If this proposition
is not accepted, the bondsmen say they
will fight tile collection of any moneys
ON account of their bonds on the ground
that the state did not use due diligence
to protect itself. They are confident
that they can prove methods of the
loOSeSt kind in connection with the eX-
animation of the state treasureT's books.

A SUDDEN CHANGE

In the weather always brings
disastrous results. It checks
the circulation, closes the pores
of the skin and throws the
blood of the body back upon
those delicate organs, the kidy
neys. Then come headaches3i
colds, coughing, sneezing and
the thousand troubles so am
moving and often dangerous.
The kidneys are the most
delicate organs of the body
and almost the first to suffer,
whether in men or women. To
keep them in order means per-
feet health more than anything
else conceivable; to allow them
to become disordered means
certain disease or death. Do
you know that there is but one
great remedy for kidney trout
bles, and that is Warmers Safe
Cure? This fact is admitted
by the best scientific and medi.
cal skill throughout the world,
and the great revolution it has
wrought III curing complicated
kidney troubles, female dis
eases and even Bright's dis
ease, and in preventing the
evil effects of the season upon
the kidneys has justly made if
the most popular of modern
remedies. Your druggist can
certainly supply you with it,
and if you are wise, you will
not be without it, especially
during this season.

Joe Mannix. z. H.Ging. her cousin, and
a lady friend were allowed to see Harry
HAYWARD, the man accused of having
concocted the scheme through when
her sister lost her life.
Harry displayed his usual nerve dur
ing the visit. and chatted very freely to
those about him. Miss Cling did not see
Blixt, and did not express any desire to
see him.
Miss Cling is the twin sister of the
murdered woman, and she bears a
striking resemblance TO her sister.
Miss Cling will remain in town dur
ing the trial, which is set for
Jan. 81. Miss Cling was seen by
the GLOBE reporter ut the residence
of her brother last night. She said she
did not know what she could say that
would be useful for publication. She
did not think that she would be called
on to testify in the coming trial; her
main object was to settle up the estate
of her late sister.
Miss Louise Ireland, the niece or the
murdered woman, who went East with
the remains, is still now i'll Auburn. n.
Y. and will not return here until 1t is
necessary for her to testify Ill the trial.

few mi nutes previous, and remarked
Us he stepped up to the bar: DO you

Ian, King and one or two others were
standing near by. King made some
sarcastic remark to Lederwood, and the
latter replied in the same kind. Finally,
after few bitter words had passed
between = them, LedgerwoOd dealt
King a sharp plow over the segel
with his cane. QuinIsn then took a
hand III the fight, and he and King
went at it hammer and tongs. Finally
they were separated and put out Of the
place. On the outside they renewed
the battle fiereer than ever. Ledger
wood, meanwhile, was taken in tow and
sent away. King got decidedly the
worst of the fracaS. his face being bat
tered up. and Quinlan was also torn and
bleeding. So
