Superior Trades Assembly.

The Trades and Labor assembly
held it's regular meeting Monday
night in the Hammond block.
Nearly every union affiliated was
REPRESENTED. President Grant
called the meeting to order. The
only thing of Importance before the
meeting came up under the head of
reports of committees. The Labor
Day committee consisted of seven
members and the majority report
recommended Nemadji park as the
place for holding the celebration.
The report was signed by five of the
seven members of the committee
and the minority report was sub
mitted which favored Hammond
park. After a thorough discussion
of the question:, in which there
were several lively debates and a
great deal of time consumed in
finding out exactly who owned the
dancing p1a form at Nemadji park,
the chair declared that motion
adopting either the ma Ority or
minority report would have to be
made before any settlement could
be reached. A motion was finally
made to adopt the minority report,
and the committee stated that the
business men of the city had con-
tributed so far 1912 to hold the
exercises in Hammond park, but
that all the city had not yet been
canvassed. The committee thought

PresSfeederS Strike.

The press feeders were out on a

After being out 10 hours the diff

strikers. There was very little

cerned; the walk-Out was intended
more to force the recognition of the

that $500 would be sufficient to
make the celebration a splendid
success, fix up the grounds as they
should be, hire the music, pay the
expenses of the parade and the
orator of the day. The discussion
was very spirited, showing that all
we're interested in making the
celebration this year even better
and more enjoyable than ever be-
fore. When a vote was reached it
resulted in adopting the minor
ity report, almost two to one, and
President Grant declared the selec-
ton of Hammond park as the place
to hold the Labor day celebration.
Walter Carter called for a roll
call but the secretary had not
brought the roll of delegates to the
meeting and that demand was
finally withdrawn. Mr.. Carter
however, desired to withdraw from
the committee because he was not
in favor of going to Hammond
park and he did not think he could
act with any degree of satisfaction
either to himself or the committee.
His resignation was accepted.
The committee on celebration
was given full power to complete
arrangements for the celebration
and instructed to finish the can
vass. of the city and collect the
money promised the committee by
next Monday evening and report to
a meeting of the assembly that
evening. 1t has not yet been de-
cided who will be the orator Labor
day, but many of the delegates had
preferences last night, and it is
likely that this part of the program
will be settled in few days.
Credentials were received from
the Duluth Trades assembly nam
ing Gustave Oleson and J. Hayes
as delegates from that body.

Capital and Surplus to Deposits.

In the following comparisons it
destroy the confidence of any one
in the banks as we have an account
with two of the banks whose figures
are used for comparison.
We wish to make the people
realize that the Associations in
which they are invited to invest or
deposit money are so managed as
to not have too much risk taken by
the shareholders nor too much
deposits taken from the depositOrs.
Three leading banks of Duluth
have $1,877,03l Of capital and sur
plus to 1882, 1853 of deposits, or ST
to protect from loss each $2O6 of
deposits.
Three leading Building & Loan
Associations Onion, Zenith and
Climax have $l4O,564 of capital and
surplus to $5OO61 of deposits, or ST.
to protect from loss every 35 cents
of deposits.
The associations do not receive
deposits to exceed 0ne-half of mort
gage assets.
The issue of certificates of
deposit payable on short notice is
limited to not exceed $1,000 to one
party.
No deposits payable on demand
are received.
The rate of interest on short
notice deposits is per cent. if left
six months, per cent. if left year,
and at the rate of per cent if left
two years.
On three year certificates the in
terest is paid every six months at
the rate of per cent.

The scheme to bulldoze the Amer

agitation, seems to be the only

As part of the influence of socalistic ideas

There is one slip in English, which almost Oh
women make, Of which I was reminded by
seeing it in the woman's page of big news
paper. 1t is in the use of the adverb.
Most women say. "She looks nicely in pink"
meaning, "She looks nice in pink" They
say. "Shs feels badly this morning." meaning.
"She feels bad 7" or "ill" To say ''Shs feels
badly" implies that there is something wrong
with her iuger-tips; that her sense of feeling
is in some way impaired, and refers not at al
to her general health. In the same way, " He
looks badly" is wrong. and He looks bad, /" -
right, if the statement refers to his general
health. "He looks badly" would refer 20 his
eyesight. He hears poorly" is correct.
poorly" referring to his act of hearing.
"She feels poorly" would be wrong, of course.
and "She feels poor" would perhaps not con-
vey the right idea, however; she is getting
on poorly" or "doing poorly" would be all
right One is obliged to keep sharp lookout
to avoid all these errors. Most folks find our
adverbial rules more or less perplexing, bat
they are part of everyday speech. and should
be mastered, even if it cost much effort.

The death last week Of Lloyd Monkey, a we'll
known figure here. reminds one how he came
near having his neck stretched at the time
Lincoln was sssassinated. Moxley. being IN
the theatrical profession, knew John Wilkes
Booth.
Telling the story short time ago, Monkey
said: "On that eventful evening / was stand
ing Just outside of the Presidents box, on the
right-hand side of the door, when Booth came
by. He stopped, and had no suspicion OF the
deed he was about to commit. he stayed
there, talking in low tone, for about 20 min
utes, and in that time about half dozen per-
sons who knew both of us came by and saw US.

they scarcely looked at me, and in that lay my
safety, for had been recognized by anyone l
would have been arrested later as one Of the
conspirators.
cit was only after Booth had fred his shot
that 1 realized what might follow if anyone
had seen me talking to him. AS soon as l
conid do so unnoticed I left the theater and
hurried home, expecting to be arrested every
moment If had not been so well known all
the theater people passing would have notlcea
me more carefully, and would have accused
me at once. How ! escaped is a mystery to me

might meet someone who had seen me that
night, and thus revive my impression In his
mind. / did not feel safe until the trial was
over and the conspirators hanged.
Another strange thing happened the even
ing of the crime. The Peterson House on
Tenth street, where Mr.. Lincoln died, was a
boarding house for actors at the time OF the
tragedy, and l have it on reliable authority
that Booth had room in the house during bis
stay in the city. About 3 o'clock in the after
noon he came in and went direct to his room
aud tried TO sleep the bed. Now, here !:
the strange part. The very room that be had
was the one that Mr. Lincoln was carried to
after the shot, and the very bed on which
Booth tried to sleep before the commission OF
his crime was the bed upon which his victim
died"

there will be evolutious the Southern coast
