ORGANIZER FOR THE STATE.
One of the Immediate Results of
the GrOcers' Convention
in Duluth.

AS an immediate result of the State
Grocers and Merchants convention held
in Duluth last week, the association
will organize branch associations in all
the towns and cities in the state for
their mutual protection.
To this end a state organizer will be
appointed in a few weeks by the eX-
ecutive committee Of the association.
The appointment of such an officer was
ventton after an enthusiastic reception
Of resolution bearing on the subject.
The united organization Of the legit1-
mate merchants of the state has been
something which the trade have long
looked forward to. The Minnesota or
ganiZation which met in Duluth last
week, has organizations in the three
first class cities Of the state, each I'M
der a >--1ferert name.
The plan is to have all the branch
organizations in the state of the same
name, and thus bind closer together
the grocers in small country towns for
their mutual protection.
The annual conference, which will be
held once a year, will bring together
the merchants from even the most re-
mote parts OF the state, and the inter-
change Of ideas as touching matters
pertaining to their welfare is expected
to be beneficial.
The convention will be held in ST.
Paul next year, the date to be decided
by the executive committee Of the as
ISOLATION. In any event 1t will be held
during the next session of the legis-
lature.
The state organizer will be appoint
ed shortly and started on his initial
tour over the state for the purposes

MISS RANCHES LECTURES.
Those Who Heard Her Discourse
on Culinary Art Much
Pleased.

Quite an interesting and instructive
series Of lectures has been given dur
ing the past week at the PEOPLES
church on culinary art by Miss Nellie
Dot Rancho. She has proved herself
to be competent and we'll Informed on
the subject.
1t has been a matter of some little
pleasure to those Interested in the bet
terment Of the preparing and serving
of food products on the family table to
note how the audiences increased in
size and appreciation as the busy little
lecturer went from one speciality or
phase Of home cooking to another.
Miss Ranches methods are said to
be of inestimable value to the studious
and progressive housewife.
why should l talk about the chem
tstry of food?" she says THAT will
take care of itself. If the dishes are
well and properly cooked, and if every
thing is attractively served so that eat
you are sure that normal men will not
hurt themselves at the table. Anyhow
the after effects are for the doctor to
talk about. Nice food is my fad"
Despite these views Miss Rancho has
been deeply interested in the move
ment of congress during the past week
In its efforts to enact laws against I'M
duulIerated 1oOdS. st. Paul and the
entire state of Minnesota, where so
many products are manufactured, es-
pecially that of flour, should, it is
claimed, be one of the most eager
champions for the enactment and rigid
enforcement of laws against the adul-
terations of such products.
For the benefit of that class who
need to be enlightened most as to the
most intelligent method of cooking and
serving food products, it has been sug-
gested that an effort be made before
Miss Rancho leaves Minnesota, to try
and induce her to give a series of les

He LOST HIS TEMPER.
Humphrey Barton Shows a DispO-
sitiOn to Fight in Open

Bailiff Marks timely action averted
what looked like an impending physical
contact between two attorneys in Judge
Bunn's court yesterday forenoon.
Norman Fetter and Humphrey Bar
ton were the contending barrlsters.
They appeared before Judge Bum at
srectal term to argue a motion to al
low Mr.. letters expert witness fees
Mr.. Fetter representing the plaintiff
Amelia Moratsky, who recovered a YER
dict against DR.. Carl Wirth, Mr.. Bar
toms client
Mr.. Barton's client having appealed
to the supreme court, Mr.. Barton con-
tended that his appeal operated as a
stay OF all other proceedings in the
case.
In the course Of his argument, Mr.
Fetter fntimated that Mr.. Barton had
been guilty Of unlawyerlike conduct in
the matter OF serving his notice Of ap-
peal.
That's a lie," declared Mr.. Barton,
jumping to his feet.
Sit down, Mr.. Barton" admonished
the court. Mr.. Barton did as request
ed.
Subsequently he replied to Mr.. Fet-
ter's argument, but when Mr.. Fetter
proceeded to rejoin, and to reiterate
what he had previously charged, Mr..
and rushing toward Mr.. Fetter, he ex-
claimed:
You're liar"
Mr.. Barton's aspect was so ferocious
that Baillff Marks sprang forward and
placed himself between the two law
yers. Mr.. Fetter did not betray the
slightest sign Of emotion.
Then Judge Bum lectured the attor-
neys impressively upon the gravity of
such a breach of court etiquette.

der which his compensation was re-
duced to $4,000 a year, is unconstitu-
tional.
In the answer to the alternative
writ of mandamus, Mr. Richa dson c )n-
tended yesterday on behalf of the coun-
ty AUDITOR
First-That the special law Of 1854,
fixing the compensation of county OH
Gals, among them that of the county
attorney at $500 a year, is unconstl-
tutional because it contains subjects
not expressed in it's title.
Second-The law of 1895 is the law I'M
der which the county attorney must
draw his salary, and he has MADE
no demand under that law.
Third-The county attorney is estop-
ped from claiming his salary under any
law other than that of 1885, because he
has accepted his salary under that law
during the year 1897, and has given his
official sanction to the payment OF the
other county officials under the law OF
1895.
During the argument, Mr.. Richardson
said that in his opinion the proper in
depreciation of the decision of the su-
preme court in the case of County SURE
Veyor Johnson is that that court holds
the entire law of 1895 unconstitutional,
and that is why he desires reargu-
nlent of the whole question.
At the conclusion of County Attorney
Anderson's argument in reply to Mr..
Richardson, Judge Lewis took the mat
ter under Amusement.

In police circles, for two days, the
chief topic Of conversation has been
the splendid piece OF work resulting in
the arrest Of John Leader, and the re-
covery Of $500 worth Of diamonds stolen
from the residence of e. H. Judson,
Monday afternoon. Then, too, guam
tity of other property, alleged to have
been stolen, found in the prisoners
room This, it is believed, will clear
up a number of recent Twin City rob-
berries.
Ali Of the plumber was spread out on
a large table in Chief Schweitzer's Of
flee, and every caller at the station
was shown the display. Compliments
were shOWered upon the detectives who
arrested Leader, and other members Of
the force not fortunate enough to have
been in on the pinch felt chagrined
1t turns out that Mrs. Judson owes
the recovery of her jewels and the ar
rest of Leader almost solely to her own
shrewdness and resourceful ability,
under conditions where many other
women would have been at a loss as
to the course to pursue.
1t was Mrs. JUdsOn who learned
from Charles Cartin, the Witness
under arrest, that her diamonds were
in Minneapolis, and that Leader was
the alleged thief. Then, when there
was a likelihood that Cartin might es-
cape before the information which he
impaired could be verified. Mrs. Jud-
son, by strategy, lured him to the,
ROndO street police station, where she
turned him over to the police
After a nervous woman, frightened
at her own temerity, had seen Cartin

safely behind the bars, the authorities
proceeded upon the Information gath
cred by her and secured the arrest of
Leader and the recovery of the jew
els, together with the other piunder.
Mrs. Judson's was a particularly clever
piece of detective work For some rea-
son Cartin, the witness whom the
authorities are holding, visited the JUDD
son home Wednesday morning. He
rOomed with Leader in Minneapolis.
Cartin met Mrs. Judson at the door. He
asked for Mr.. Judscn, saying he had
something of Importance to commune
cate.
Mrs. Judson suspected Cartin might
know something of the robbery ard in
vited him into the house. By adroit
questioning she learned from Cartin
that he knew where her diamonds were
and who the alleged thief was.
In the midst of the conversation Car
tin seemed to fear he had made a mis-
take and started to leave the house.
Mrs. Judson reasoned that the young
fellows detention undoubtedly meant
the recovery of her jewels, and request
ed Cartin to accompany her to her hus-
bands office Cartin hesitated, but
finally consented
Fearful every moment that Cartin
would break from her side and escape,
Mrs. Judson looked in every direction
for a policeman, but just then there
was none in sight.
Down Dayton avenue they walked to
Western avenue. thence directly to the
ROndo street police station.
A stranger in the city, Cartin did not
realize the trap which had been laid
for him, until he stood in the station,
when Mrs Judson almost Historically
explained the cause of the visit and
Cartin was locked up.
Then the police had an interview with
Mrs Judson, secured the address which
Cartin had disclosed as Leaders home,
and taking Cartin along for STALL"
the five detectives hied themselves to
Minneapolis, where they reaped the
fruits of Mrs. Judsons sowing.
1t was said by a number Of the Jud-
son family last evening, that Cartins
object in "peachtng" on Leader was
not known. as he had made no de-
mand for money.

There is to be still another American
line of steamers between Seattle and
the Yukon river and other Alaska
points. 1t is to be called the Empire
line, and the information was first
made public last night by D. H. Higbee,
general manager Of the American
Steamship Line Of Philadelphia, who is
at the Aberdeen.
Accompanying him are G. D. Fahne-
stock, general agent of the American
line at San Francisco, and Capt. Will
liam Shackford of one Of the comp ny's
vessels. The three gentlemen spent
some time yesterday at the Great
Northern general offices, and will leave
on that road at 1:30 p. m. today, for
Seattle, where plans will be made for
securing offices and docks for the COM
pany.
Five steamers. the Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Wisconsin and Connect, which
comprised the old International line
plying between Philadelphia and Liver
pool, each having a carrying capacity
of 700 passengers, will constitute the
Empire Line fleet, and will be sent from
Philadelphia at an early date so as to
be ready to go into the Alaska trade
between Seattle and st. Michael's by
June 1.
These boats are big, staunch ocean
liners, and were supplanted by such
llOdUlnS pdldceS DIS the SIediIlSnp S Clly
of st. Paul, City Of st. Louis, City of
New York and City of Paris, now
sailing under the flag Of the American
line.
Although no sailing list has yet been
made up for these steamers it is plan
ned that they will sail semi onthly
to ST. MichaePs on the Yukon during
the season of navigation, and at other
times to Dyea and Skaguay.
With the big carrying capacity, these
boats will do much to add to the dignity
of the steamship service from the
Pacific coast points to the ports in and
near the gold fields.
The fact that these immense boats
are being sent around the horn at a
great expense to enter the Alaska SER
vice, would indicate that the officers Of
the company have little doubt that the
volume of traffic to the gold country
is not to dimish during the next few

equalization raised the assessment Oh
their personal property to a figure
largely in excess of its actual value
They also characterize the action of
the boards mentioned as arbitrary, IN
just and illegal, and as pretending to
act under section 1862 of the statutes
and sections 4S9 and 400 Of the charter
passed in 1898. The firms making the
applications further cite in their re-
quests that the increase was made
without their knowledge, and that there
existed no board of reviews, which was
in operation in other sections of the
state. Therefore they were compelled
to take the matter before the board Of
