DISCUSSED MoNUMENT PLANS.
Women Are Enthusiastic Over the
Budding Project.


The women who met at the home Of
Mrs. r. M. Newport yesterday after
noon to discuss with Mrs. Newport the
plans for the proposed soldiers monu-
ment were enthusiastic. They were
more than enthusiastic as they were in
earnest and were not so entire
ly carried away by their en-
thusiasm but that they could
see and appreciate the difficulties
in their way, at the same time feeling
that the difficulties can and will be
overcome. Mrs. Newport, as president
OF the ladies committee, called the
meeting to order. Mrs. G. A. Parker,
the recording secretary, read the
minutes of the last meeting. Follow
ing this the president reported about
$40 in her hands for the monument
campment She read the resolutions
passed at the last netting of the citi-
zenS committee, approving the plan of
g. monument and placing the matter
entirely in the hands of the ladies' COM
mittee. General plans for securing the
money necessary for the monument
were discussed. The president desired
the chairnen of committees to retain
their positions by name, though their
present work. will be with the general
committee Small contributions from
men, women and children are desired,
ana these will be secured through the
numerous organizations existing, as
well as by individual contributions.
The president made a beginning of ap-
pointment Of committees for placing
the subject before organizations. Mrs.
Parker made interesting statements
concerning white and other bronze and
it's relative durability to granite.
Opinions as to sites for the monument
were given and reported. The sug-
gestion was made by the president that
very short papers on monuments would

Thomas Wills and T. r. Rose will
not at present stand trial for the al
legged advertising frauds perpetrated
upon several merchants of ST. Paul
for the reason that Judge Brill yes
terday set aside the first Indictment
upon which they were arraigned on the
ground that 1t did not allege facts suf-
flcient for a cause Of action. The in
strument alone, purporting to be a
contract upon which the indictment
was based, the court held was not
subject Of forgery. The indictment
was quashed only after lengthy argu-
ment on the point raised by Attorney
Kahn, for the defense, and Assistant
County Attorney Donnelly at once re-
quested that the prisoners be remanded
to the county Jail to await the action
of the next grand jury. After con-
slderation the court complied with the
request Of the state and Wills and
Rose were again taken to their quar-
tiers in the county jail
From present indications in the case
it appears that Wills and Rose are like
ly to escape punishment for their al
legged crimes. The action of the court

ing indictments against the men unless
future indictments are based upon cir
cumstances and charges other than the
mere instrument claimed to be a con-
tract containing forged signatures, and
these, by reason of the particular cum
ming of the alleged swindlers, the as
sistant county attorney states will be
difficult to prove
The blank form used by Wills and
Rose and bearing the heading "Ad-
Vertising Contract" to which the al
legged forged signatures are attached,
is, in the eyes of the law. no contract
at all, and in such case does not
admit of forgery. The contract" reads:
I'VE, the undersigned, agree to pay the
sum of $ for advertising in your
book" Who the your is in the in
strument is an indefinite matter and
does not constitute the necessary
second party to a legal contract In a
word the paper bearing the alleged
forged signatures is not legal con-
tract even if the signatures were gen
uine. Of course the alleged swindlers
will be brought before the next grand
jury, but in the opinion of the states
attorney there at present appears to
be little hope of establishing the neces-
sary facts in addition to the Con
tracts" to make indictment and con-
Viction possible.

WORKING AGAINST CRUELTY
Is Mrs. Nora Cause of the Humane
Society.


Society.
Mrs. Nora T. Cause, who is in the
city in the interests of the Humane
society, for whom she is making can
vass for funds for the carrying on Of
the work this year, was seen last even
ing by a G TO b reporter at the Met
rCpolitan hotel and talked of the So
ciety in st. Paul and it's works Mrs
Cause is charming little woman Of
Quaker parentage and is very earnest
in her work. Besides being associated
with the work of the National Humane
society, for whom she has done con-
siderable lecturing and. organizing, she
Is vice president at large Of the Hi
nois Administration society. She
said last night that the st. Paul HUI
name society is fearful of not being
able to raise enough funds for it's
needs this year, owing to the other de-
mands which are at present being
made on the public. The society will
IL possible, put an agent on the streets
this winter. Such an agent is needed
greatly in the city. An agent who will
devote himself to the work to the ex-
cluSion of all else. One who will make
of himself private detective, if need
be, and watch and visit every place
dozen times, if necessary, where he
has any reason to suppose there exists
case of cruelty to either human be-
ings or animals. The society will this
week issue cautions through the pa
pers to drivers who have neglected to
have their horses sharp shod or whose
horses shoes have worn smooth Also
to those who neglect to properly cover
their animals who are left sadly ex-
posed during this cold weather.
Mrs. Cause said that the method of
catching and killing dogs in ST. Paul
is a very cruel one, but was not I'M
heard of in OjtiQc in of hEo1- M. So
country. She said that in Philadelphia
dogs were captured and killed in much
the same way as prevails here, but
that the wonenis society of that city
took the matter in hand and now the
dogs are caught in nets and killed by
the use of earbonic acid gas. They
are kept for a few days in case the
owners should reclaim them, and many
OF the best of the dogs are retained
and sold to those who will probably
care for them. A dog hospital is also
IN operation and in it sick or injured
dogs are cared for. In killing dogs
Mrs. Cause said that the majority of
policemen used too small a gun and
were not the best of shots, thus max
ing 1t necessary to fire a number of
times into the body of the poor beasts.
when one properly fired should be plen-
ty. She said that the humane agent
should be good shot. In Chicago,
nAl .. G1uSe Sdlu, the WOTk was going
on poorly. Many of the best men in
the society have been pushed to one
said and cases of cruelty are to be
noticed there every day, which are
unattended to. She said that she
hoped to see the interest in the work
IN St Paul aroused and wished the
membership of the society might be
largely increased. She has already
started on her canvass and is having
fair share of success

line.

Judge Ira B. Mills and Clapp Sc
Mccartney. as attorneys for the Min
nesota State Agricultural society, yes
terday filed with the clerk of the SUI
preme court their brief in reply to the
suit Of Mamie Lane, the young woman
who was hurt while racing at the fair
OF 1884. Miss Lane secured a verdict
at the spring term Of the Ramsey coun-
ty district court for $1,000, but the fair
management appealed. Considerable
stress was laid on the fact that the
last fair paid a net balance of SIG, coo,
and IN their pleading the counsel for
the plaintiff have emphasized the duty
OF the fair management as to one of
the residents of the state who was in
Jured while contributing to the success
OF the fair. In rebuttal Of this, the
counsel for the society in the brief
which was filed yesterday, point out
that only in a few years since the in
cepuon of the state fair idea has it
PAID expenses, and that it is entirely
at the mercy of unfaVorble weather 1t
is admitted that the fair of 1896 is
proved profitable, but it is insisted that
mad fortune sent rain on the last two
days, large loss would have been ex-
perlenced rather than profit, and in
view OF this uncertainty, counsel con-
tends that undue stress Is laid upon the
present prosperous financial condition
of the society, especially as the society
IS accountable to the state, as a repre-
sentative of the tax payers, for every
cent of its receipts and expenditures.
AS to the merit of Miss Lanes claim,
in point of equity, it is urged that the
society was under no obligation to
learn whether the horse she intended
to ride was an untractable animal,
but that the assumption was that as
she had volunteered to ride it, it was
safe riding horse, ordinarily, under
circumstances such as those to which
she subjected it,
