WOULD NOT TAKE HER IN.
Reason Why Banner Lodge, Degree
of Honor, Is All Torn UP.

1t appears from the answer filed in the case
of Matte Mershon ct al. VS.. Ella H. Mantor,
trouble grew out of the application for MEM
bership of Mrs. Belle Crandell and the result
is great time in Banner Lodge No. %.
According to the answer, the lodge accepted
the application of Mrs. Crandell, voted her
to membership and accepted her fee for initi-
alton, but when she called to take her de-
gree the lodge refused to grant 1t. Mrs.
Crandell was angry and was equal to the oc-
casion. She saw that there was a whole
lodge against her, but alone and single-hand-
once insisted that she was a proper person to
become a member of the lodge, and ordered
the lodge to confer the degree. The lodge
refused and so the grand chief took away the
cl FER and the lodge was no more. So Mrs.
CT dell downed the lodge. The members
tn 4 applied to the district court for a writ
of mandamus to compel the return of the
charter, and the answer shows the foregoing
state of things.

SOUND MONEY.
FORM A N0N-PARTISAN CLUB.
EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO GET

RANKS.
A. T. ANKENY's OPENING TALK
Democratic Nominee for Mayor
Makes Numerous Promises to the
VOters-MiH City News.

Probably no class of men is as fully
alive to the issues of the day and as
much in favor of sound money as the
SOLID business men, and the merchants
OF Minneapolis are not behind those Of
other cities. During the past two days
lneSe business men of this city have
peen taking preliminary steps towards
organizing what is to be termed the
Business Mems Non-partisan Sound
Money Association" Although only
the very first steps have already been
taken, it is quite evident from the en-
thusiasm and determination shown
from the start, that this new organiza-
ton will make itself felt in no small
degree before the campaign is over.
The first meeting was attended by
Slxty-four business men, by actual
count, on Friday afternoon, at room
200 Boston block. The gathering was
very enthusiastic and it was the unan-
1mous opinion that an effective organ
lZat1on should be at once formed. The
first steps were taken by the appoint
ment of an executive committee with
the following well known business men
of Minneapolis as members: c. W.
Brown, George M. Gillette, Howard
w. Commons. J. F. Calderwood, Ben.
Davenport, w. M. Hopkins, F. s. Farr,
e. E. Fisher and L. 8. Gillette OF
this number c. w. Brown was chosen
chairman and George M. Gillette vice
chairman. After a discussion the meet
ing adjourned.
Yesterday afternoon at the same
place the executive committee met for
further work. Besides the members
Of the committee, other interested par
ties were in attendance. Besides the
officers of the executive committee,
chosen at the first meeting, w. G. By
ron was named as secretary.
Nothing of Importance was transact
ed at yesterdays session The time
was devoted mainly to an informal
discussion Of affairs and of the work
to be undertaken by the association
A number of suggestions regarding the
policy to be pursued were received
1t was demonstrated that all the mem
bers were unanimous in the desire to
do active and effective work from now
until after election. Their main OBJ
Ject will be to do as much as possible
to defeat Mr.. Bryan and to aid in the
victory of sound money. No definite
plans were adopted, but it was decided
to send letters to every business man
in the city asking for his hearty CO.
operation.
A further meeting of the executive
committee has been called for Monday
afternoon at o'clock to perfect the
organization.
The association has several lines Of
work in contemplation, but it is not
prepared to make them public at pres
ent.

VALUE OF A BIKE.
The Jury Fixes 1t at the Sum of

The great army of people who ride will be
glad to learn that the Sphynx who guard
the secrets of the bicycle dealer has been
compelled to speak by q court of law, and
the result has given the world the cost of
bicycles, as they come to the dealer. Much
has been said about the ability of the man
ufacturer to sell bicycles very cheap, but
that end of it, the manufacturers profit
will perhaps be a secret for some time to
come.

wheels were taken under a replevin, and
Judge Jamison and a jury heard the action

WIND BROKE THE DIALs.
Two of the Faces of the Court House
Clock Need Repairing.

The faces on the clock of the court house
tower are of plate glass, three-Quarters of an
inch thick, but recently two of them have
been broken, and the estimate for replacing
them will approximate $500 apiece. The faces
are the largest in the world. the diameter of
the inner circular piece being 122 inches, or
over ten feet. The outer part of the faces
bearing the numerals. are made in sections.
There have not been any severe winds lately,
but the faces have been broken just the same
and now a local glass company is waiting an
order it gave its factory some days ago for
the second of the big pieces Of transparent
plate. The first is already here and waiting
TO be hoisted to its place under the tower
belfry.
The experience local insurance men have
had with the clock faces is enough to prove
that glass insurance is not bonanza
farm method of making money The first in
surance was with companies represented by
Josiah Thompson. The risk was known to be
an extra one, but it was accepted on premi-
UNI Of little less than $40 Immediately on
the breakage of the first face, the contract
was thrown up, according to the companys
right. Ames & Head then took the insurance
for companies they handled but they, too de-
clined with thanks after the second breakage.
An insurance man said this afternoon that
so far he knew no one would now be
found to accept the risk, and that it looked
as IL the faces would have to go uninsured.
If they do the county may be kept poor for
years to come unless some inventive Mime
Rpolitan discovers transparent medium
which will not fracture.

M'NBILL CLUB CONCERT.
4 Fine Musical Treat Offered Last
Night.
An Appreciative Audience Listened to
a Most Attractive and Ex-
cellent Programme.

That the Mcneil Club concerts have
thoroughly won their way into popular
! favor was again demonstrated last
night at its second concert, the Congre-
| gationa1 Church being crowded, and
numbers standing in the outside hall to
| listen to the music. The programme
was a, fine one, and the frequent APP
lplause testified to the manner in which
| it was carried out.
First came Herman Mohr's Hymn Of
Praise" by the MCNEIL Club, the we'll
balanced voices filing the auditorium
with grand harmony, and the audience
showing its appreciation at the finish.
Then came bass solo by W. N Miller
"A Son of the Desert Am l." which was
sung with excellent taste, and for an
encore he sang "The Vagabond."
Miss Matte Rowan of Stockton made
her first appearance here, singing "He
Was a Prince" and her reception must
have assured her that a Sacramento
audience will be glad to listen to her
again at some future time. Miss
Rowan has full, round contralto
voice, pure and resonant and of great
register, which she uses with great
skill, and was forced TO respond to an
encore, for which she sang ''Violets''
THE Vocal Combat" by Dudley
Buck, was an admirable and unique
feature of the programme, it being a
contest between the tenors and the
basses, as to which should sing best the
selections suited to their respective
voices. The songs chosen were "Then
You'll Remember Me" and Rocked in
the Cradle of the Deep" The audience
showed its regret as the last words of
the beautiful tenor selection floated on
the air, but the feeling vanished as the
full round tones of the basses filled the
room and rolled down into "the cradle
of the deep" The third part of the Sc
lection was a compromise, sung by both,
and which still leaves the question of
supremacy unsettled.

CORPORATION FAILURE.
Wrecking of Great Business Insti-
tuition.
How It is Being Accomplished by the
Employment of Incompetent
Officers.

A certain big local corporation doing
q business that runs up into the mill
ions is pursuing a course that threat
ems to end in disaster for the smaller
stockholders and involving heavy loss
for the wealthier members. On ac-
count of the large interests involved we
deem it a matter of sufficient impor-
tance to place the facts clearly before
our readers 1t appears that at a meet
ing of stockholders held in December,
1894, a new Board of Directors was
elected which took charge of the COM
pany's assets, valued at about S4S 000,-
O0O To secure a voice in the manage
ment of so great a property there was
naturally an exciting scramble of can
didates, and it is little wonder that on
account of the large number of stock
holders and the fact that they had no
organization, it became easy for
clique among them to arrogate to it
self the right to select the directors and
to secure their election by any means
in it's power Plunder being the object
in view. some members of the clique got
themselves elected directors and were
successful in almost each instance in
getting their nominees in, to make up
the balance of the board.
Singular as it may seem, the board
thus elected to manage a concern, the
running expenses of which are over
81 600, 600 a year, was composed, for the
most part, of men who had been unable
to achieve success in their respective
businesses as corner grocerymen, clerks,
political tallymen and kindred occupa-
TONS Yet these men had at once to
enter upon duties which involved q
knowledge, not only of books and ac-
counts, but of all matters that are in
