NO CREDIT TO DEAD BEATS.
Grocers Devise a Plan for Their
own Protection,


The regular bi-monthly meeting of
the retail grocers' association, held last
night at the Single Tax clubs rooms,
was of unusual importance to the groc-
ers and it presages considerable trouble
for the professional dead beat. The
principal business discussed was the
fO1 nation of a mutual protective as
ISOLATION against bad creditors, the
plan being to secure the membership
of most If not all the grocers in the city.
and by system of reports made by
each, secure and maintain a list of those
who are entitled to credit and those
who are not. 1t is also further contem-
plated, that when a customer becomes
indebted to one grocer, all others will
refuse him credit until he has discharg-
ed that debt Reports were made by
members who are working up the plan
showing that more than fifty have al
ready signified their intention of join
ing and by the next meeting, it is
thought the acquiesence Of all will be
secured The matter Of the peddlers
was called up, particularly the oil ped
dlers, and discussed. The fact that
the oil companies insist on the peddlers
maintaining the standard price, was
not considered sufficient protection, nor
did it exempt them from censure An
effort will be made to secure an ordin-
ance imposing a license, which while
it will not remove the evil entirely, will
decrease it. The convention of the
National Grocers' associs ton to be held
in Minneapolis next year was called up.
The time of the convention is left to
the executive committee of the asso-
citation and to the local organization.
1t was decided to appoint a committee
to ascertain and report the most OPP
perfume time, rates. other attractions,
ETC., considered. This committee will
also solicit subscriptions to defray the
expenses of the convention. The presi-
dent appointed as his committee, John
Powell, Fred Lorenz, J. Kistler, H. M
Pryts. c. Mum, ]. c. Young and P.

way it was suggested that a fair dis
cuSs1on of the question might be had
A motion was carried to this effect
William Uric was then presented who
announced that he had fought for the
greenback party in the good old days,
that the present silver agitation was
the legitimate offspring of greenback
principles. He denounced the national
bank in toto, and was frequently APP
piauded.
Mr.. owen was heartily received on
entering the hall, and lost no time in
beginning his address. He commenced
by telling how the present monetary
system was brought about, and thought
the system should be overthrown, if
Tor no other reason, simply to rebuke
the plutocrats who were it's origin, so
that in the future they might find
1t convenient to consult the wishes of
the American people before passing any
such revolutionary legislation. He
compared the present political situation
to the time before the war. and said
that dissolution of the union of 1851
would have been accomplished with
less general distress than the continu-
ance of the present monetary system.
The country might have been happy
with division of the states. but it is
under the existing conditions" The APP
probation of gold was then discussed
at length, and familiar Illustrations of
the heightened yard stick, the Bounce
pound, and the 120-second minute were
given. The evils resulting from the
gold standard were then outlined, to
result, if continued, in the ultimate
ruin OF the country. Statistics were
adduced to prove that since 1870 prices
have been constantly going down, es-
pecially the products Of the farm. The
shutting down of shops and factories
was explained by the statement that
the people had no money to buy. hence
demand for the products of labor was
lessening. free and unlimited coin
age OF silver by the United States,
would. the speaker thought, force the
leading countries of Europe to similar
action within short time.
At the conclusion of the address. an
opportunity was given of uniting with
the club, and many names were added
to the rolls.

Young Black Burglar Admits His
Guilt,

Inspector John Morrissey returned
last evening from Sioux City, To-,
bringing with him, as prisoner, Robert
Stone charged with burglary A fea-
ture of the trip is the fact that the in
spector smashed all records of police
officials in performing the journey. He
left here Sunday night at 7:40 D. m
and got home last evening at 7:3O D.
m. He Travelled $50 miles. spent three
hours in Sioux civ. and brought a
prisoner and much plumber home with
him.
Stone is a yclthful NEGRO of stolid
look and possessed only OF evera ge in
telligence. He admits being concerned
with H. B. Smith in burglarizing the
room of F. P Cousins Aug 10, but
states that Smith led him to believe
that the room was his and also the
contents. AS he proceeded IN his story,
however, he coctradicted himself 1--WE

nection with his ownership of 1t. that
is quite interesting and proves his pet,
for such 1t was, was veritable ele-
plant on his hands and a source of
no little bother. 1t also shows that it
was the same animal that was found
in the north part of the city about two
weeks ago, and over which a reporter
and policeman with proclivities a curio
eXcites, had quite an amusing exper-
fence, an account of which was also
published at the time.
Mr.. Alexander brought the animal
home with him from Central America,
about the first of June as a pet for his
little son. To the naturalist 1t Is known
as the kinkajou and is described as a
carnivorous nocturnal animal found in
that country and belonging to the fami-
ly OF which the coon and oppossum are
species. 1t is about the size of the
American coon and has a long bushy
tail. By the natives where it is found
1t is called the honey bear on account
of it's fondneSs for honey which it is
said it obtains by inserting its tail,
into the hollow tree where the honey
is found. The animal. Mr. Harrington
says, is harmless. 1t had been in cap
tivity a short time before he obtained
1T, but that even in its wild state, it
will not fight unless forced to. He had
1T about two weeks at his home, and
his children played with it as they
would with dog. 1t seemed tame
CROUCH, but he took the precaution to
chain it up at night. Some way it es-
capped from him about the middle of
June, and since then he hasn't done
much else but hurt it. He located it
on North avenue finally, but when he
laid claim to it the woman who had it,
refused to give it up. Several DAYS
after. he went to see her again and she
asserted it had escaped Later de-
Velopements, however, proved, as stated
that she had sold it TO the reporter and
policeman, who, when they were in
formed that it was only a common
Opossum, turned it loose and here the
clue ended until Mr. Montgomery found
it captive at the driving park Mr.
bennington took possession of his net
and took it home. but it's lease of life
was short. The usage to which it was
subjected. and the heroic treatment of
the veterinary surgeon who gave it
an emetic thinking he could identify it
by the contents of its stomach were
too uch for it. It died the next day
after Mr. Harr ngtcn took it home.
The statement that the enetic given
it disclosed that it had eaten chickens
Mr.. H9rrington says. can hardly be
true. He says it would while be had
1t, eat no meat of any kind. and they
fed 1t only bananas. fruit, bread and
mix etc. 1t was nearly starved, he
thinks. and went into the driving park
hotel kitchen for something to eat. Mr.

were very fond Of Their pet and re-
greet very much it's death.

COMMISSIONERS Busy.
Big Grist Ground Out in an Adj
jOurned Meeting.

Inc board of county commissioners
met yesterday at an adjourned meet
ing. The first matter to come up was
the petition of Fred Johnson, to re-
cover taxes paid by mistake. In 1891
he paid taxes on lot 3, block 50, David
sons subdivision. and by mistake the
receipt was made out to A. Y. David
son.
The result was that Johnson received
a notice to the effect that his property
had been sold for taxes, and that he
redemption had almost expired. He
was obliged to pay $76.25 to redeem.
The board desired to pay him the
money, but Assistant County ATTORNEY
Mum objected. The result was referr-
ed to the license committee

be advertised for, but it was reported
that there was an iron clad trust and
combine in he coal business at the
present time and that it would be much
better to wait until some future date
before contracts were made The board
could do no worse than the present
prices, and might do much better.
This was agreed upon. The commits
sion also decided not to NEEDLE with
lighting the building during carnival
week. 1t would cost too much and the
city would not come in and assist. The
board, however, decided to light UP the
interior of the building with all the
lights that were in the place, and also
put light on the face of the clock.
In the afternoon the commissioners
were deluged with petitions from well
known business men and property own
ers asking that an appropriati ton be
made for the purpose of illuminating
the building during carnival week. The
commission had its mind made I'D
though, and as the money was short
adhered to it's first determination i'm

FIFTH NEARING COMPLETION.
Asphalt Company Commence Laying
the Ton TOdnX

E. M. Ayers, the Assyrian asphalt
contractor, said last evening that he
would commence laying a 3phalt on
Fifth street at First avenue south this
morning. Mr.. Ayers says he could have
started several days ago, but did not
care to lay asphalt on green concrete
as he had his 10-year guarantee in
mind, as well as a strictly first-class
job. we will have our work done in
the business district in ample time for
the carnival and encampment. said
he The four squares between Henne-
pin and First avenues south on Fifth
and Fourth streets will be completed
and our other work pushed nearly to
completion. We expect to have at
least three days to spare. Today we
finished putting binder on Fifth street
and made considerable progress on
Fourth street between Hennepin and
Nicollet.''
The Warren-Scharf company yester-
day put on two crews laying concrete
one on First avenue south, and the
other on Washington avenue in front
OF the Nicollet house. First avenue is
being put in first-class shape. the as
phalt work yesterday being confined
to the block between Sixth and Sew
enth streets. The asphalt crew will
continue down the avenue and ex-
poets to reach Washington in very
few days.

All the Democratic primaries to Sc
lect delegates to the county conven-
ton We're held between and o'clock
last night. 1t was conceded that the
nominations would go to Judges Smith
and Bond and little interest was man
ifested in even the strong Democratic
wards. The sentiment developed at
the primaries was that the Democrats
were in favor of a non-partisan ticket.
1t was generally conceded that Frank
d. Larrabee would be chosen chair
man of the Democratic convention,
which will meet at Normanna hall at
1 o'clock today to select fifty-two del
egates to the judicial convention,
which meets at the Hennepin League
rooms, New York Life building, at IL
O'Clock tomorrow.
the Republican primaries to select
delegates to the county convention at
Turner hall today were also held last
night There were nine candidates in
the field and the result of the election
was very much mixed at midnight.
Nearly every voting district was rep
resented in the reports. which We're re-
ceived at the Union league, and many
the tickets were badly split UP be-
tween the several candidates.
1t was generally conceded that at the
convention to be held tomorrow the
Hennepin delegates would virtually
settle who was to have the Repubn-
can nomination, although technically
the nomination will not be made I'M
til the judicial convention meets to-
morrow.
Nothing like definite statement of
could be made last night 1t was con-
ceded that among those who would
have the largest number of delegates
We're: Judge John H. Steele, D. F.
Simpson, Daniel Fish, A. NJ Earri-
son, H. j. Gjertsen and W. P Rob
erts, in the order named. Different
men varied the order somewhat, but
