ment of the I. o. o. F. of Minnesota
resumed it's work yesterday morning
at No. II Washington avenue north.
AT the afternoon session it was de-
cided not to change the date of the an
nual encampment. There was consid-
cradle discussion of the amendment,
but it finally fell through. 1t was de-
cided to hold the next encampment
the fourth Wednesday in February,
1897, in st. Paul. The greater portion
of the time during the afternoon ses-
sion was taken up with the installa-
ton Of the officers elected in the morn

there were 173 limitations, the least
since 1886. The number of suspensions,

port showed the total receipts for the
year to have been $1,627.6O, and the
disbursements leave balance on hand
of $596.49. Committees were appointed.

FOR BETTER ROADS.
Another State Convention Called to
Consider the Question.


Secretary ]. T. Hemphill, of the Minneap-
oils board Of trade, has prepared and issued
circular letter addressed to the various
boards of county commissioners of the
state, reading as follows:
There have been two state conventions
held in Minnesota for the discussion of the
good roads question, one in January, 1898,
and one in 1895. The beneficial results of
these public discussions is evidenced by the
remarkable increase in interest taken in the
question throughout the whole state. But
while general interest in the question pre-
walls, but little of definite, practical results
seem to have been accomplished.
Although some improved legislation was
passed last year, nothing done COM
pared with what other states both east and
west of us have lone, and If Minnesota is
to be kept in tile front ranks Of progress
with her sister states, the prevailing senti-
ment in Minnesota in favor of better roads
must be encouraged and crystallized into
something more definite, and to that end
and to prepare the way to secure needed
legislation on the subject, the Minneapolis
board of trade has taken the initiative in
calling rousing good roads convention, to
be held March 81 and April 1, at the board
of trade rooms in the city of Minneapolis.
The best time to discuss the questions to
be acted upon by the next legislature is
when the candidates for the legislature
working for their reelection. They have
commenced. and should we. The county
commissioners at their convention, recently
held in ST. Paul, decided that the county
commissioners of each county were the prop
err persons to select delegates to represent
their respective counties, and you are there
fore requested to either call mass meeting
in your county, and select as many delegates
at large for your county as will promise to
go to the convention, else choose such
delegates yourselves and report their names
and addresses to the undersigned The
boards of trades and similar organizations
of your county will also be invited to send
delegates, and in order to secure thorough
ly representative convention 1t is suggested
that the delegates at large should be pract-
cal farmers, and depend upon the CONNER
cal bodies to send delegates who will repre-
sent the cities and towns.
Please send the Undersigned at once. the
names and addresses of the delegates chosen
for your county, in order that further infor-
nation concerning the convention can be
given them. AS soon as a sufficient number
of delegates reported. application for
reduced railroad fare for the delegates will
be made.

CLINE WAS EXCITED.
Fined Five for Speaking His Mind
in Judge JamisOnss Court

Yesterday, in Judge Jamison's court room,
one of the most exciting scenes that has
yet occurred in the new court house took
place. The case before the court was that
OF the state against Irving Cline, who was
indicted with Edward Preston, charged with
stealing horse and wagon and quantity
or cigars. The defense had closed it's case
and the state had put the co-defendant.
preston, on the stand in rebuttal. Preston's
statements were very much twisted, and the
fact Of his being under oath seemed to have
no weight with him. He had Just made
some very damaging remarks about young
Cline, who is but fifteen years of age, when
Joseph l.. Cline jumped up and said in loud
voice, You are a liar and you know it,
The court was thrown into confusion in a
moment. Judge Jamison ordered Cline into
custody. and at noon fined him IS, with the
alternative of FIVE days. The money was
paid. Preston admitted to having served
several terms in states prison and other in
situations for the correction of criminals.
ing testimony, asked to be allowed to change
his plea to guilty" The jury retired short
ly before o'clock and returned at 9 o'clock
with a verdict Judge Jamison was ready to
receive it. and the boy and his father and
brother were also on hand. After the roll
was called the foreman of the jury handed
his verdict to the clerk, who read it aloud
and proclaimed the fact that the boy was not
guilty. The gray haired father shook hands
with number of the jurymen as they filed
out The chances are that Preston will re-
ceive sentence to the full extent of the
law when he is brought before the court
this morning, on account of the false testi-
mony he gave during the trial.
