LAWS ON INSOLVENCY.
New Office Mems Association VIII
Consider Them.

The Office Mems Association of ST.
Paul completed it's organization last
night at the Commercial club. The
committee of ten appointed at the re-
cent meeting of the association Sc
cured sixty signatures to the constt-
tuition. H. NJ Temple called the meet
ing to order last night, and discharged
the duties of temporary chairman, and
B. A. Daniel was chosen temporary
secretary.
In stating the object of the associa-
ton, MI Temple said that its pur-
poses were to promote social inter-
course among office men, and to diff
fuse ideas concerning business rou-
tine. Similar associations existed in
New York. Boston, Chicago, st. Louis
and other cities. The general plan to
be adopted is to hold monthly meet
ings. at which members will read pa
pers on various topics appertaining to
business.
C. w. Hall, the editor of the st. Paul
Trade Journal said d few words, en-
phasiZing the Importance of the work
of expert accountants to merchants
and manufacturers. H. w. Mann
called attention to the fact that the
organization of the office men was in
no sense what is termed a "union."
1t was merely an association designed
to help their employers as we'll as
themselves.
The association then proceeded to

IDENTIFIED HIS son.
Wisconsin Farmer Claims the
Suicides Remains,

j. L. Hover, farmer living near Me-
nOmOnie, Wis, yesterday identified the
body of the man who killed himself al
the union depot Wednesday afternoon
as that of his son, Charles e. Hover.
The father of the dead man reached
st. Paul yesterday afternoon, in re-
sponse to Coroner Whitcomb's tele-
gram notifying him of the suicide Mr.
Hover was entirely at a loss as to the
cause Of his sons shooting himself,
though he stated that, when about six
teen years old, the boy had manifested
signs of insanity which had necessitat-
ed his confinement, for time, in a pri-
vate asylum. Subsequently the young
man had been discharged from the in
stitution as cured. While inclined to
doubt the theory, Mr.. Hover stated
that 1T was possible his son had been
attacked by his youthful malady, and
taken his life in a fit Of insanity. The
father will take the remains of his son
to Menomonie for burial today.
The young man left home Thursday en-
route to Austin, Mimi. From what he told
his mother previous to his departure, that he
would arrive in st. Paul at $3.50, and leave
at 4:30 it is evident Hover began prepara-
tions for the suicide Immediately upon his ar
rival.
The original trouble was an injury to his
head by a fall from the upper story of a
barn.
A pathetic incident connected with the sui
eide was the placing of the note containing
cate with j. L. Hover, Menomonie, Wis.," in
his pocket by his mother before he left home.
Fearing some mishap might befall her boy
Mrs. Hover penciled the note. and in kissing
him goodbye with one arm around his neck
she slipped the address into his coat pocket
without his knowledge.

TO GIVE UTAH A CHANCE.
That Kind of Pavement May Be
Tried.

The final orders for paving two
blocks of Tenth street reached the
board of public works yesterday. One
order calls for a cedar block pave
ment between Wabasha and Cedar
streets. and the other requires Tenth
street, from Wabasha to st. Peter
streets, to be paved from curb to curb
with asphalt The board referred both
orders to the city engineer, with in
structions to prepare plans and specifi-
cations. These are the only final or
ders for paving that the council has
thus far passed.
1t has been the intention of the
board of public works, with reference
to the streets. to be paved with as
phalt, to make provision in the speci
fications for bids on Trinidad and
Bermudez asphalt only, as neither OF
these pavements is an experiment.
When the final order for paving Tenth
street with asphalt from WabaSha to
ST. Peter streets was acted upon yes
terday, c. w. Carpenter, of Mime
apolis, who is,now, the agent of the
Utah Asphalt company, was present
to urge the board to allow the specifi-
of bids on Utah asphalt. Mr.. Carpen-
ter contended that the Utah asphalt
was superior to either of the imported
varieties.
1t was the sense of the board that
it would not be wise to accept bids
from the Utah company unless il
would guarantee its pavement against
all cracks or destruction, however
slight. Moreover, the guarantee must
be backed by a recognized security
company.
Mr.. Carpenter assured the board
that his company would give the city
such a guaranty, but he thought II
was hardly just to impose severer con.
ditions upon one company than on an.
other But the mebers of the boaro
regarded the Utah asphalt as an ex
pertinent in this climate, and consid
cred it only right to protect the city
by requiring the strongest of a guar
anty. 1t is probable, as a result O.
the interview with Mr.. Carpenter, tina
the board of public works will instruc
the city engineer to prepare specia
specifications which will let in bid
for paving with Utah asphalt unde
the conditions named.
