INSURANCE MEN RETURN.
Chicago Meeting May Inspire a State
Association Here

w. G. Strickland and w. H. Hart. Sec
rotary OF the local board Of fire I'M
derwriters, returned from Chicago yes
terday morning, where they attended
meeting Of Northwestern insurance
men. The reports of the proceedings
published in the daily papers about
covered the business transacted. Rob-
ert s. Brannen, the Denver insurance
man, was on hand to promote the
scheme to create national association
OF insurance agents for their mutual
assistance and benefit. A large num-
Der OF the agents present in Chicago
agreed to become members Of the asso-
citation. The idea Of a national asso-
citation met with approval, but many
considered the plan on foot at present
would result in the formation Of an
association that would be so large as
to be unwieldy. The idea Of forming
state associations and have each state
association a member of q national
association was thought by some to be
a better way of forming an organiza-
ton having the same aims in view as
that suggested by the Denver agents.
1t Is not improbable that some state
organizations will soon be formed
whether or not they may afterwards
become members of a national organ
ization. The suggestion is not new. It
was talked over by some of the st.
Paul insurance men some months ago.
and now that the suggestion has been
made again, may result in the idea
taking definite form.

Farrell, Of 468 ST. Peter street, visited
the residence of John Brewskoski. on
Randolph street, and after a talk with
John traded a pony for a horse owned

Farrell started away with the animal
for which he had traded, but Mrs.
Brewskosh at this stage of the pro-

told Farrell in very forcible language
that the horse belonged to her, and that
her husband had no authority to make
the trade. Rather than have any words
Farrell gave up the horse and took
back the pony. He insisted, however,
that he should be paid back the 50
which he had given Brewskoski in the
trade. Brewskosli, however. had dis

over to Farrell until 1t had been made
clear to the referee that It was all
right.

PALMY DAYS,
Indeed, Were Those for the English
Farmer In the Last Century.

Indeed, Were Those for the English
Farmer I'm the Last Century.
By the corn law Of 1773 Importation
OF wheat was prohibited until the
price touched ASS per quarter, when
nominal duty of Sd was imposed. In
the year 1887 the average price Of
wheat was AS Sd. But so abundant
vas the supply Of corn that large
quantities were exported to less
favored countries abroad. Jersey alone,
Of all the islands. had not sufficient
corn for her inhabitants, and imported
it from England, France and Dantsic.
From the Concise View Of England"
we extract the following delightful
picture: One favorable year for corn
Is sufficient to supply three years Of
scarcity to the inhabitants, and even
at such times, when the seasons prove
unfavorable, there Is generally a suf-
f1ciency, for after immoderate rains the
corn sown on the hills produces great
abundance, and, in a time Of the great
est drought, the low and fenny parts
produce most wonderful crops" So
prolific was the soil In certain places
that, we are told, "the earth about
Saffron Walden, after bearing saffron
for three years. will produce good bar
ley for eighteen years successfully
without any manure" What would
the modern farmer say to that piece
Of agricultural extravaganza?
So lucrative did the gentlemen who
held estates In Buckingham find graz
ing that they generally kept the estates
in their own hands. If they do SO now,
1t would hardly be for the same reason,
but land owning then was a profitable
affair, and the rents Of farm lands ran
excessively high. One single meadow
called Beryfield, in the Manor Of Quar-
endon, near Aylesbury, was let many
years ago for $500 per annum, and has
since let for much more" In Leices-
tershire also. where the great black
coach and dray horses were bred, most
OF the gentlemen were graZiers, and It
was not uncommon for them to rent
from $500 to e., 900 q year.

Bishop Gilbert preached at st. Cle-

the American people, and the two prom

them by celebrated English traveller.
namely, overwork and overnervous-
ness. Work, said the speaker, was es-
senGal to health and all well being,
put 1t was the tendency to overwork
which merited correction, and atten-
ton was called to the province of
work which might be invaded to it's
uttermost bounds, though work as an
end In itself was to be avoided, as
otherwise 1t would become an idol and
everything else would be made to give
way.
Inc nervousness of the character of
the American people, as observed by
the English traveller. Bishop Gilbert at
trlbuted more to dread of what
might happen, rather than to condi-
items as they really existed. Looking
ahead, taking anxious thought for the
morrow, had left its stamp so indelbly
that 1t had become a national char
acteristic. and was accountable for
much worry of mind and distress of
body among those who INDUCED in a
useless dread. In conclusion, the life
OF Gladstone was cited as an illustra-
ton or the text. His was such a per-
feet trust and confidence in an over
ruling God that dread and apprehen-
sion were far from him at all times.
He took no anxious thought for the
morrow. and his life was one of peace

The new pavilion at the soldiers

afternoon with concert by the Post
office band of the Minneapolis post
office. About one thousand people
were in attendance, outside of the old

the pavilion and were informal, con-

band and one or two informal speeches.
The programme opened with the old,

words extended a hearty welcome to
the visitors. saying that the pavilion
had been opened by the St Paul people
last month, and now would be opened
by the Minneapolis people. He then in
troduced Capt. Henry A. Castle of St
Paul, president Of the board Of trus-
tees of the home. Capt. Castle, in his
dual capacity of postmaster Of ST. Paul
and one of the trustees of the home,
expressed his qualification to be pres
ent on this occasion. He paid a. high
tribute to the industry, fidelity and eff

PostmaSters may come and CO. but the
carriers and clerks have made our ma

managers and Inmates, his gratitude, he
closed by referring to a recent triumph
and vfndication of the commandment
from false newspaper ISLANDERS Capt.
Castle then introduced Gen. J. w. Bish-
op. the former colonel of the Second
Minnesota regiment. Gen. Bishop said
1t was always great pleasure to visit
the soldiers home; he praised its man
aeement and said that no home in the
country stood higher than the Mime
sofa home. He said that 1t had been
stated that very few of the inmates
We're from Minnesota regiments, where
as. at present almost two-thirds were
survivors of Minnesota regiments. Min
nesota did herself great credit during
the war, and did her share to save the
Union. No class of men in the country,
he continued, stood higher In the es-
tiTnation of all than the men who went
to the front in 81 He then praised the
women, saying that 1t was their great
help and influence that enabled the old
soldiers to bring the battles to a sue
cessful close. He told Of a letter he
had received from President Cleveland
In regard to the st. Paul postoffice. In
which the president, in explaining why
he had not appointed a successor to
Capt. Castle, said that Capt Castle
was a very efficient postmaster and
there were only one or two good Demo
Gratis in st. Paul, so he had determined
to let Capt. Castle remain in charge of
the postoffice. The band rendered
few more selections, and were then in
vited to partake of a soldiers home
supper by the commandant, and the ex-
ercises closed with meal that was
truly enjoyable.

STOCKHOLDERS FARE BETTER
I'm the Distribution Than Had Been
Expected by the Managers of

AS reported in the G o b Of yester-
day the Dayton's Bluff Building So
ciety will discontinue it's business op-
erations, and a meeting OF the stock
holders Of the organization will be held
this week to wind up its affairs. In
speaking of the matter yesterday, Pres
ident O. E. Zimmerman, Of the society,
saids
Eyes, we are going out of business,
but there is nothing at all startling In
the determination of the stockholders
to conclude the existence of the So
ciety. A building society is a corpora
alton Of stockholders just as a business
house is corporation Of partners, and
in either case when the operations Of
the concern cease to pay the only thing
to do Is to quit. The low rates of in
terest paid on borrowed money during
the past three years have made the
loaning Of money on real estate un-
profitable. and as the hard times have
helped to make matters worse, our
stockholders decided to wind up the
affairs of the society.
This decision was in reality reached
two years ago, when an agreement was
signed by all Of the stockholders that
the loans of the society should be col
lected as soon as possible, and then It's
real estate disposed Of in order that q
settlement might be effected. There
will be no difficulty in the adjustment
of the society's business, as the efforts
in that direction already show to the
complete satisfaction Of those con-
cerned. Every stakeholder will receive
a pro rata division Of the assets Of the
society based upon the actual amount
of money which he has paid into the
institution, and in this way very little,
If any, Of the original investment will
be lost. We have already. divided $4,000
in cash, which we had on hand, among
the stockholders on a basis Of 81 per
cent, and Wednesday evening the bids
on the real estate owned by the society
will be tabulated, and 1t will be sold
to the highest bidder Immediately.
President Zimmerman is very much
gratified over one aspect of the closing
up Of the business of the society, and
that is that he is of the opinion that
portance to the business world, namely
that the decline which has been going
on in real estate for the past few years
has finally reached the limit. His con-
clusion Is based upon the fact that In
disposing of the forty odd pieces Of
property in the possession Of the build
ing society the bids on the different lots
are as rule within a few dollars Of
each other, showing uniformity of
judgment on the part of the prospective
purchasers founded upon the actual
value Of the property.

STRIKING MATTRESSES, SIDE.
They Say They Did Not Demand
Higher Wages.

A committee representing the strik
ing mattresses at the Colonnade hotel
called at the G o b e Office yesterday
to contradict some of the charges made
against them. They say that they did
not strike for higher wages at ALL but
rather to secure what wages were due
them. They stated they We're informed
that Mrs. Arne was about to sell out
the cafe to a Mrs. Oliver, and in order
TO protect themselves they decided not
to do any more work in the dining
room until they received the amounts
due them. The young women admit
the imputation that they gave Mrs.
Arne what Is slangily referred to as
"the marble heart" but they take ex-
ception to the statement that her soli-
citation to them to remain was kindly.
Considerable spirit was manifested In
the discussion of affairs by the men,
bers of the committee, and it was as
serted that an injustice had been done
the head waitress, Miss Annie, in the
description of her manner.
Mrs. Arne says in respect to the
claim Of the girls that their salary was
not due, but that on account of the
change in management they were to be
paid at o'clock.
