Delegation Visit South st. Paul
How Grains Inspected.

Gen. Flower had charge of the farmers who
are participating in the 500 line excursion
from Grant, Traverse, Pope, Meeker and
StearRs counties yesterday morning. The
party, numbering 122, took the motor to
South St. Paul and reached the stockyards
at 10 o'clock. They spent three hours look
ing over the yards, investigated the manner
in which the stock is handled, visited the
sheep feeding barns and other points of in
terest.
In the afternoon the visitors called in
body at Grain Inspector Clausens Office the
majority of them being under the impression
that in some manner the average farmer
was getting the worst of the inspection laws.
Mr.. Clausen was prepared for the visitors,
SO to speak. The delegation filed the room
of the grain inspector in the Endieott block
and were treated to minute and detailed
explanation of the way in which grain was
inspected The talk made by Mr.. Ciausen
was interspersed with practical illustrations
of how the inspection was done, the chief
weighmaster being on hand with all the ap-
paratus used. Mr.. Clausen, after his talk
asked if there were any questions to be
asked and for half an hour was kept busy
explaining propositions and interrogations put
to him. Each member of the visiting dele
cation were furnished with a copy of the
grain inspection law and then taken to Min
neapalis, whore a tour of the flour mills
was made. The visitors will return to their
homes this morning, each pleased with the
trip and with the kindlest feelings toward
the 500 road and its officials which made
the excursion possible. Several of the vis-
tors made purchases of bteeded stock as
the result Of their visit TO the experimental
farm.

Mrs. Hugh Casey, Of North ST Paul,

When the Wisconsin Central train
bound for Chicago stopped at the North
ST. Paul depot at s o'clock Sunday
mornig small, modestly dressed, gray
haired woman stepped aboard one of
the day coaches and took a seat in the
front end Of the car. She was thinly
dressed, with a little black shawl
thrown over her shoulders, and her feet
were ineased in a low pair of house
slippers. When the conductor demand

1t has been conceded on all sides that
the city had absolutely no defense
against the claim of Mr.. Justus, which
amounted to $465.S2 for work done on
certain school buildings. The work
was performed by Mr.. Justus under
authority of a committee of the school
board which ordered the work to be
done. For some technical reason Comp
troller McCardy would not audit the
bill, and Justus was therefore COM
PEELED to sue the city in order to get
his money. Hence Mr.. BoWe in his
complaint alleges that he was wilfully,
wrongfully and maliciously slandered
by Assemblyman Reardon and asks for
$500 damages.
This is not the first time that Rear
don has cast slurs upon the eity's legal
department. Upon one occasion he
went SO far as to suggest that Corpora
ton Attorney Darragh ought TO be i'm
peached, because of the suits for their
salaries brought against the city by
the police, which resulted in the city
being compelled to pay the attorneys
for the policemen some $1,000 costs.

The announcement that w. b. Douglass. of
Moorhead, ,at present pledged to Feig for
speaker, win be a candidate for the place If
Feig should decide to pull out of the race
is said to be incorrect. Those in position
10 know, say that the talk about Douglass
being a candidate fer the speakership is cut
of the question. That Feig may be scratched
from the list is possible, but that Douglass
will attempt to catch the mantle is not at
all probable Douglass is ali that could be
desired in the way of fitness for the Office
but he is also a politician, and has the
faculty of looking long way ahead. 1t Is not
improbable that he viii be the next attorney
general and with ti,is plum in sight he is
not likely to attempt to break into the speak
ersEip race. j. D. Jones may be all that those
opposed to him claim In the matter of being
man of negative qualities, and pet much of
a practical politician or organizer but he Is
ahead and a long way ahead in the race. and

He WouIdn't Discover Himself for
a snide $40.
Sam Austin, Anna Clark and Lille
Forbes, the trio arrested at 1 O'Clock
Monday morning by Lieut.. Pothen and
Sergeant Mccarthy on a charge of dis
orderly conduct, did not appear in the
police court yesterday morning, and
the SIS deposited by Mr. Austin as bail
was forfeited.
There was a large attendance at the
court yesterday morning, a number of
the spectators being attracted to the
court room by the fact that the case
would come up. When Clerk Conroy
called the names Of the three persons
there was a great craning Of necks
The bailiff said
Look at them all rubbering just as though
them people would come in and make show
Of themselves for forty-five bucks
Twice the clerk called each of the three
names but as there was response Judge
Twohy directed the bail of SIS in each case
be forfeited and this was done. An evening
paper attempted in an article yesterday to
make it appear that the | 0 b e had stated
that Austin was prominent city official, and
that this was without foundation. The G o b e
simply published what Lieut.. Pethen said aft
the arrest had been made, and that was
that Austin was a prominent official, and il
he said anything about the arrest or circum-
stances connected with it there would be a
vacancy On the police force. 1t was not
stated in the o b e that Austin was city,
state or federal official, but that he was a
prominent official and this much was learned
from the officer who assisted in the arrest.
1t is stated and on what is good authority
that the fourth member of the quartette has
at various times since Chief Goss ap-
pointed declared that, in his opinion, that
that official had neither the ability nor train
ing to fit him for the position, and that the
administration had made a mistake in ap
pointing him. This fact some of the wise
ones say is an explanation of why the ar
rests happened to be made but what is
puzZling them is how did 1t happen that the
one the police supposed to be looking after
managed. TO get away. The evening papers
story about the business transaction is a
fake, pure and simple. At least so say the
members of little whist party that was in
progress In the building when the arrest was

Another Position.
John S. Pinney, for the past three

ately assume his new duties.
For the past twenty-five years Mr.
Pinney has been connected with the

after by Barnhardt Bros. & Spindler

several offers. Yesterday the Offering
contract arrived, and Mr.. Pinney was
rendered a position which he promptly
accepted rendering his resignation at

be connected with the Minnesota Type

for business trip through the West,
and on returning will make his head

That's the way it sounds In poetry
when you contemplate the Munger as
signee piano sale now in progress at
4S East Seventh street, between Cedar
and Minnesota. It's been one con-
slant crush ever since the sale began,
on Monday, and two large trucks,
manned by six men beside the driv-
ers, have been unable to deliver pianos
and organs as rapidly as l have made
the sales.
There's every reason why this should
be so. Mr.. Munger assigned his piano
stock to meet the pressing claims of
creditors. One creditor can't take
key board, another a pedal, another q
string, but they must convert the
pianos and organs into something that
will divide That's cash and notes.
I'm not an exhorter, but I'm the con-
verter for this occasion, and I'm con-
yerting these pianos into something
divisible among the creditors mighty
fast. It's business from the jump at
49 East Seventh street, and it's jump
ing for pianos on the part of the pub
lie. In fact, it's jumpers all around
Bankrupt stocks don't usually in
clude such high grade pianos as Briggs,
Decker Bros, Everett, Haines and 9TH
ers which are to be found in this coll
lection. / know that there are cheap
pianos, because they are made cheap,
but there are expensive pianos of high
est grade, sold cheap, because the
creditors want to get what they can,
pocket their loss and end the matter.
l am under instruction to realize and
that's why you can get pianos from
$115 to $195 which usually sell from $275
to $3.50. And you only have to pay $25
cash and then SO month and you

despite the new candidates sprung every day
or SO. looks like winner.
Judge Hicks, of Minneapolis, is among those
also mentioned for speakershfp honors. Kind
words are reported as being said about the
candidacy Of the judge, but kind words do
not cut much of figure when the election
depends on votes
Those who claim that J. r. Dean is not out
for the position OF chief clerk in the house,
and there are number who have an idea
that after all the old list will be again put
through are not advised as to the facts. The
claim is being made by friends of Bowling
that he has anywhere from fortw to fifty
votes pledged to him. If this claim is true.
Just why Bowling is making such hustle is
a mystery. Dean makes claim, but he
feels confident Of pulling off the prize, and
Is not at all Disconnected by the claims of his
rival To one VINO favors neither of the candi-
dates, the fight seems in doubt. Deans
friends claim the First district solid and part
of the Third. The Second according to
statements, is as yet undecided and unpledged,
and the same may be said of the Fourth and
Fifth, although individual members of both
of the last mentioned may have preferences.
With this view of the clerkship fight, the
friends of Dean say it is out of the question
for Dowling to claim that he has sufficient
votes already harvested. Up to date it looks
as If neither of the candidates had a cinch.
