There is considerable speculation
around the fort as to the findings of
the court, which will not be made pub-
Tic until Gen. Wade has reviewed the
evidence, and passed upon it. Eek

stated that he was very hopeful of the
outcome, and thought that his SEN

OF course nobody around the head
quarters is informed of the findings Of
the court, with the exception of the Of

There seems to be a general feeling
around the fort that Eckhardt will get

The time of Eckhardt's imprison-
ment since the trial began will be
credited upon his final sentence.

familiar with the circumstances con-
nected with the arrest and conviction
of Private Eckhardt during December

MINNESOTA IN THE LEAD.
North Star State Foremost in the
Came Protection Conference.

North star State Foremost in the
Game Protection Conference.
Executive Agent Sam T. Fullerton, of the
state game and fish commission, returned
yesterday from Chicago where he attended
the conference of state officials and others
interested in the protection of game in Min
nesota Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and
neghboring states.
Minnesota had the proud honor of having
mGEe delegates in attendance at the meeting
than any state, not even excepting Illinois.
1t was in consideration of this, perhaps, that
Mr.. Fullerton was chosen as secretary. The
conference lasted two days, and was produc-
tive of an apparent general feeling that some
thing in the way of uniform legislation could
be arrived at that would not only meet the
demands of game preservation in the states
involved, but simplify to great extent the
difficulties with which the officials now have
to contend in the enforcement of the laws.
There is some misunderstanding at the cap
itol as to what state fund shall bear the ex-
pense of the eight Minnesota delegates. The
visit was made under the express direction of
a resolution of the legislature, but Auditor
Dunn holds that such a resolution cannot ap-
propriate money from the general fund unless
a bill specifically setting aside the money
accompanies or follows it. This, he holds,
has been passed upon repeatedly, and he sug-
gests that the expense must be borne by the
regular fund of the state game and fish COM

Van Buren, School Union Discusses
Physical Culture.

The public school union of the Van Buren,
school last evening, and talked over matters
of interest to teachers and parents alike.
Charles W. Hall was the principal speaker
of the evening while a number Of impromptu
talks were given followed by a general dis
cusson of the subjects growing out of the
work of the union.
Miss Laura Hand, principal of the Van Blu
rem school and vice president of the st. Paul
public school union, presided.
Mr.. Hall, in discussing the relations of
the teacher and the parent, urged the neces-
sity of physical culture in the schools The
he thought the curriculum of the public
schools might be shortened If necessary to
include this branch in every school,
Miss Hand agreed with Mr.. Hall, and stated
that no amount of ''hot house" education
could benefit the scholar unless provision was
made for maintaining the health of the
scholars. 1t was not a wise plan to put too
heavy burdens on slender shoulders
The matter of home study received consid-
cradle attention at the hands of the speakers
last evening. Home study was favored in the
case of the pupils of the eighth grade, and not
too much even then. The scholars OF the
lower grades, as a rule. had no occasion to
bring their studies home except in special
cases. 1t was brought out that arithmetic
was the most difficult study for the ayera ge
pupil in the public schools to master and II
was often necessary to bring this study home.

The rainy weather kept the attend
ance upon the poultry show a little be-
low the mark yesterday. Nevertheless

Witnesses fer Prosecution in the
House of Good Shepherd Cases.

The attendants upon the trial of the
Clewett-House of the Good Shepherd case
heard nothing sensational yesterday.
Emma Gotta. one of the trio of girls who
escaped from the institution and ran away
last fall, took the stand in the morning re-
peated the testimony she gave on the former
trial.
Mr.. Butts called Caroline Christensen, who
used to live near the House of the Good
Shepherd. The witness detailed the Incl
dents of an escape she once beheld.
Plaintiffs counsel then called the names
OF Josie Anderson, Hattie Haas and Mrs
George Tilbury, but there was no response.
AT the request of Mr.. Butts, attachments
We're issued for the three.
Mrs. Clara Tanner occupied the stand for a
short while She was at the Clewett home
when Selma went there from the House of
the Good Shepherd.
Maize Roberts, otherwise known as Dutch
Mary" told her story again, and then Mr.
Butts occupied the witness chair himself
He did so in order to read to the jury the
testimony given on the former trial by Nellie
Dummoy.

FIRST TRIAL SUSTAINED.
Judge Kelly Denies Merrick & Mer-
rick Another Chance.

Judge Kelly filed an order yesterday deny
ing the motion of Merrick & Merrick for a
new trial of their suit against Ernest Put
nam, as assignee of the Gladstone company.
Upon the first trial the court dismissed the
case
Merrick & Merrick sued Mr.. Putnam, as
assignee, to recover 81, 493, alleged to be due
them for legal services rendered in proceed
ings begun by them to forclose twenty-five
mortgages, held by the Gladstone Land com-
pany.
March 81, 1897, the Cad tone Land company
made an assignment to Mr.; Putnam for the
benefit of creditors. April 23, 1897, before
the last publication of the notices of fore
closure Assignee Putnam wrote to Merricl
& Merrick and informed them that they
should have discontinued the foreclosure pro-
ceedings Immediately after the assignment.
At the request of the assignee the fore
closure proceedings were therupon discon-
tinud
In denying the motion for new trial
Judge Kelly says:
1.-The Plaintiffs never perfected the fore
closure. ANY sale made under notices signed
by the Gladstone Land company, after it's
deed of assignment was recorded would have
been invalid

terinS at the Merchants.
He reports that the farmers and
storekeepers of Western Minnesota are
in a very fiourishing condition. Much
of the paper held by the country banks
has been taken up, and the outstand-
ing accounts of local merchants have
also been paid up. The amount held
by bankers and Eastern parties in farm
mortgages has been greatly decreased,
and there is a much better feeling pre-
vailing in Western Minnesota and
South Dakota. The wheat crop of
Western Minnesota largely exceeded
that of the Dakotas
The crop had practically been mar
keted, he said, with the exception Of
about Is per cent, which farmers re-
tain for seed Those farmers who had
rot paid off their mortgages had paid
off a large proportion of them and were
on a fair way to relieve themselves of
the burden.

Evolution OF the Corset.

mighty things from small begin
nings grow" said Dryden, and so 1t
has been with the corset. The Greeks
and Romans admired slight and yield
ing figures and stoutness was consid-
cred deformty. Bandages were worn,
which consisted of the strophium, the
cloth worn around the bosom; the
tenia, simple band below, and the
iona, or waist belt. Some contend that
the ancients wore yeritable corsets, ar
guing that Homer, in speaking Of
Junos toilet when she wishes to cap
tivate Jupiter, described Greek cor
set; and that the cuirass of Minerva,
as described by Virgil, signifies the
same thing, but many maintain that
evidence is all against these theories,
as no monument of antiquity gives any
hint of the use of stiff, unyielding cor
cnfs
