ELKS in THE FIELD.
Commence Active Work for the
Grand Lodge Session Next Year.

The election of Mckinley was all the
Eilks were waiting for it to begin active
preparations for the national session of
the grand lodge Of the order in Mime
arolis next July This does not mean
that there has been no work yet done.
On the contrary great deal has been
accomplished, but the local Elks did
not feel warranted in beginning the
actual canvass for the raising of the
entertainment fund until now
The local executive committee, con-
sisting Of c. M. Foote, G. F. Mcneil,
c.. b Teal, F. E. Wheaton, F. w.
GODDARD and Weed Munro, has been
holding weekly business meetings ever
since last August, and the outline of
the work of preparation for the great
event next summer has already been
arranged.
Thirteen subcommittee, under the
| direction of the executive committee,
have been appointed to look after en-
teTtainment, ways and means, trans
| pcrtation, prizes, reception, etc. Cir
| cuIar letters have been sent out to
| lodges all over the United States ad-
vising the formation of Minneapolis
| clubs,'' composed of their members who
| will attend the great reunion. Re
! plies have already been received from
a large number Of these lodges favor
able to the suggestion, and many have
| alr6dQy formed the CLUBS ana give IN
| dividual estimates of probably atten-
! dance of from 40 to 200 members. Els
| pecially have favorable replies been re-
ceived from cities in the extreme East
and extreme West. This is very en-
couraging, for there is little doubt that
the nearer lodges will contribute hand
Somely toward the total attendance. The
lodges on the Pacific coast have al
ready planned a combination and will
come to Minneapolis on special trains.
| In short, the favorable and early in
dications are that the meeting at Min
neapoliS will be the biggest ever yet
/ held by the Elks. The various publ
cations Of the order all over the coun-
try hold this. view and are enthusiast
tic to q most gratifying degree.
The grand lodge session opens here
July 6, 1897, but the delegates and other
Elks will begin to arrive Sunday, July
The meeting will probably last a

CITY COUNCIL GOSSIP RIFE.
Aid. LOye Considered the PrOba BILE
President of the Incoming
Body.

There is trouble between the local
miliers' association and some of the
Minneapolis grocers, and the matter
has taken such a serious turn that un-
less certain grocers can demonstrate
that their loyalty to the local millers
is stronger than is at present apparent,
they will find themselves under the barn
and shut off from supply of Mime
apoliS flour. The millerS' association
has practically said so.
There has been in existence between
these two bodies for some time a mu-
tual protective agreement in the mat
ter Of the sale of flour. Now the mill
ers' association claims that some of the
grocers are not living up to the agree
ment, in that they are selling various
and sundry brands of country flour in
open competition with the Minneapolis
flour and at lower prices. The result is
a letter to the grocers from their board
of directors, stating the case and de-
claring that unless the grocers' asso-
citation takes immediate steps to stop
this business, the Minneapolis mills
will withdraw their protection and also
their flour. AS no grocer could do bust
ness without some brand of famous
Minneapolis flour, it looks as though
the matter would have to be settled
satisfactorily to the millers.
In speaking Of the matter the Com
mercial Bulletin says:
This is no bluff on the part of the
nlillers. They have been substantial
hackers of the association since it's in
ception, and they propose to have some
of the substantial results of their sup
port. The plan for enforcing this ac-
ton of the board is as follows: Each
of the milling companies represented
in this letter sends it's salesman out
daily with a memorandum book on
which he is to note the amount and
different brands of flour he finds in the
grocery store of each man he visits.
He also notes how many sacks he or
ders Of this salesman's brand. All these
statesmen report each night to the sec
rotary of the millers' association. He
notes the grocers who are handling
country flour. If any one of the city
statesmen fails to find the country -four
some other salesman is likely to find
it, and if a salesman is discovered COW
ering up his knowledge of the posses
sion Of the country flour by any grocer
he must explain his delinquency to the
satisfaction Of the millers. The secre-
tary of the millers' association makes
out a list of the grocers having this
country flour in their possession, and
the salesman will visit them no longer
till such time as they promise to do
the like no more"

LEE STILL SILENT.
Refuses to Divu1ge What He Told
the President.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7-ConguI Cen
eral Lee left Washington this evening
for Charlottesville, Va, where Mrs Lee.
is now stopping and his children are at
school. During the day he called at
the White house, but did not see the.
president. He also paid a visit Of a.
purely personal nature to Secretary
Herbert at the navy department. There.
has been much speculation as to the
nature of the facts reported to the
president and Secretary Olney by Gen.
Lee. Gen. Lee himself, when approach
ed on the subject today; stated that
from the nature Of his office he was
absolutely pIecluded from saying what
passed, and that information on that
point must be sought from the presi-
dent or Secretary Olney. Naturally
neither of the latter cared to make any
statement, so that Gen. Lees verbal
reports are so far a profound secret.
outside of the three persons concerned.
the president, Secretary Olney and the
general himself.
1t is not known just how long he will
remain in Virginia, but he has some
matters of personal business to engage
ms attention that will occupy him for
a few weeks and perhaps longer. and
1t is presumed he will call again upon
the officials here before he returns to
his post at Havana.

SANTA FEE MIDDLE.
The Federal Courts VIII Be Asked
to Interfere.

Topeka, Kas, Nov. 7-Charles F.
Johnson, who was appointed receiver
of the Santa Fe property in Kansas
by Judge Myers, of the state district
court, Thursday last at Oskaloosa will
qualify as receiver on Monday next
and it is supposed he will then serve
notice on the Santa Fe officials here
and demand possession of the proper
ty. The officials of the railroad will
refuse to recognize him as receiver
and the attorneys of the corporation
will go at once to Oskaloosa and file
& motion with Judge Myers to vacate
the order. This course was decided
upon at conference of Santa Fe Of
ficiaIs held mere today.
Should Judge Myers refuse to va
cate his order. as he probably will
do, Judge Foster, Of the United States
circuit court, will be appealed to for
a writ prohibiting the state court from
interfering with the property of the
company. 1t is maintained by the
Santa Fe people that the United States
court, under the former receivership
proceedings, still has sufficient hold
upon the Santa Fe to warrant it's in
reference in the present proceeding in
the state court. Some Of the debts
contracted under the recent federal
receivership are still in the federal
court for adjudication. and for this
reason it will be claimed the property
has not absolutely passed from the
control of the United States circuit
court.

1T LOOKS LIKE LOVE.
Only One Mentioned for President of
the Council.

Speculation is already rife in city
hall circles as to who will be the next
president of the city council The
names Of a number of aldermen, who
might be well deserving of the honor
both because of their recognized ability
and the time that they have spent in
the council, have been mentioned as
possible candidates, but no one yet
mentioned for the place has met with
quite as much favor as Aid. Loye, and
there seems good reason to believe he
will get the plum.
Aid. Loye has been member of the
council for not less than eight years
and is a senior member, as the coun-
Gil now stands. He has practically
been given to understand that he is
to be the executive for the next two
years to come, and one Of the alder
men, who claims to be in a position to
know whereof he speaks. says that
there can be no doubt but that the
council will pick out Aid. Loye for
president.
There is no doubt but that Aid. Love
would be glad to accept the office If it
was rendered to him. 1t is not known
whether there will be other candidates
or not.
