Bankers Conference.

Bankers Conferences.
The conference of bankers from
different parts of the state, held at the
Ryan in st. Paul, was well attended,
and majority of the counties of the
state were represented. Almost two
hours were spent in a general discus
sion of financial matters on which it
was considered necessary to ask for
legislation. It was decided to ask to
have the law changed in regard to the
filing of chattel mortgages so as to
have all such papers filed with the reg
lster OF deeds of the county instead of
with the town clerk. as is the present
custom. This change is recommended
because the register of deeds is gener-
ally supplied with safe depository for
valuable papers, while the town clerk
is not, and as consequence many
valuable papers are lost by fire and
otherwise.
It was also recommended that the
three days Of grace allowed by law be
done away with, as has been done in
many of the eastern states. Several
papers on these subjects were read by
gentlemen present.
Stats Fair.
The directors of the State Agricul-
tural Society met at st. Paul and dis
cussed matters concerning the next
state fair.
The fair circuit has given Minnesota
the last week in August, 1895, as the
time for holding the next fair, favoring
states to the south of Minnesota with
later dates to the disadvantage of the
North Star state. The directors de-
cided if the matter can be amicably
arranged to suit a majority of the
Minnesota people the date may stand,
but if not, then the State Agricultural
Society will select it's own date indie
pendent of the fair circuit.
Action on the election of secretary,
to succeed Mr.. Cross, was postponed
until the next meeting, Feb. 10.
FOrgers Arrested.

from Virginia to Duluth with two men
giving their names as Joseph Bust and

there on charge of forgery. According

had been making tour of the towns
on the range, working off large num-
bers of spurious checks for amounts
ranging from $45 to $3.50, purporting to
have been signed by various we'll
known lumber firms and mining opera
tors here. It is estimated that the men
have taken in not far from $1,000.

St. Paul, sentenced Henry Schumacher,

dollars to a term of six years in the
penitentiary and to pay fine of $780,

rather be shot or hung. Schumacher
