Private A. Dickex Causes sensa-
ton at the Comime rciaI Club.

Private A. Dickey Causes a Sensa-
ton at the Commercial Club.
Private A. Dickey caused somewhat Of
a sensation before the Commercial club
yesterday noon in his address upon ex-
periences during the Spanish-American
war. His remarks contained many in
nuendos intended to cast discredit upon
two officers of the Thirteenth, Maj. Bean
and Capt. Bjornstad. While he did not
directly charge either with cowardtce,
there were suggestions given that such
was the case. He said:
Maj. Bean, with his command, was in
the rear and was only brought to the
front when Gen. Macarthur asked Gen.
Reeve where his other battalion was, and
Col. Reeve detailed a man from Company
to bring them to the front"
Private Dickey said that in the most
important battle fought the highest rank
ing officer seen ope the field was cap
tain, and the officers showed no signs of
fear when they were embarked on the
transport for home.H
Speaking of BjerIistad, he said that
when firing commenced in one battle the
captain ranted, swore and raved until he
was shot in the baek5land that Bjornstad-
did not know whethershe was on the top
Of the Rocky mountains or in Chicago.
At the close of Diekey's address D. F.
Reese moved a vote of thanks to Mr..
Dickey for his very able lecture. F. S.
Chittenden seconded the motion.
j.. M Hawthornecprotested saying:
AS a member of the Commercial club
and of the national guard, must protest
against charges of cowardIce against
Bjornstad and Bean in their absence.
II believe that they are both brave men.
If they had been present 1 would have
said nothing, but a charge of that kind
made against them behind their backs
calls for a protestAf from me-"
Mr.. Reese again insisted upon his mo-
ton and gave personal attention to
Hawthorne. He said that the club had
asked Mr.. Dickey to entertain it, and
owed him thanks. With his opinions the
club had nothing to do. It did not exer-
else any censorship over anything said In
public addresses.
Chairman Sabin agreed with Mr., Reese.
The motion was carried, Hawthorne not
entering into further protest
An effort was made to find Maj. Bean or
Capt. Bjornstad last evening to give them
chance to answer Dickeys insinuations.
but neither Of them was in the city.

RAILWAY NOTES.

The proposition to vacate several
streets on the water front at Seattle for
the use of the Northern Pacific is meet
ing with considerable opposition. Several
Of the prominent business men Of the
city are circulating a petition TO be pre-
sented to the city council setting forth
that the vacation of the property which
the Northern Pacific wishes to secure
will result In serious injury to the growth
and commercial interests of Seattle. The
petition alleges that the Northern Pacific
seeks the property, not alone for depot
and terminal sites, but if secured will
construct on it freight and coal yards
The Albert Lea & Southwestern survey
has been completed to GlenviIle, Mimi,
and depot and yard grounds have been
laid out at that point. The survey will
now be completed to Lyle, and it is un-
derstood that active construction work
will begin early in the spring.
The EIder-Dempster company. of LIVER
pool, have successfully launched new
steamer, the Lake Erie, which will be
placed in commission next season be-
tween English points and Montreal. for

RAILROAD MEN INTERESTED.
Proposed Line From Manl1atO North
Causes Some Talk,

The plans which are being made for the
construction of the Duluth, Glencoe &
Southwestern line, giving a north and
south road from St Cloud to Mankato,
are arousing considerable interest in rail
road circles. Considerable speculation is
rife concerning the influence of the new
line when constructed.
The meeting called for Dec. 5 at which
the plans Cor reorganization will be taken
up and further considered, will determine
the future action Of the promoters At
present little is-being said concerning the
road and those who are possessed of the
inside Information are reticeut
1t was intimated Yesterday by an Of
sciaI of the Great Western that that line
would have considerable interest in the
construction of the new road, since one
Of its terminals will be located on the
Cannon valley branch, giving connec-
tons into Gre of the best farming dis
tricts Of the state. It is not thought by
the. majority of st. Paul railroad men
that the line will be completed into Du-
nth, but it is regarded as probable that
the company which IS now being or
ganized will extend from Mankato to ST
Cloud, after which it is safe to say that
the line would be absorbed by one of the
larger systems and used as a branch.

Seven Of the eight members of the di-
rectors of the public library attended a
special meeting held at the residence Of
Maurice Auerbach Tuesday night. The
providing of funds to pay for the extern
siVe improvements made on the new Ii
brary building was discussed. The entire
cost of the improvements on that portion
of the building to be devoted to the use
of the library was placed at $780, and
it Is the purpose of the New Century
club, the Woman's Civic league and other
organizations to raise this amount by
subscriptions. The plan of dividing the
city into districts was discussed and each
district Is to have a soliciting committee
Subscriptions of 81 anu upward will be
solicited
Mr.. Edward Feldhauser stated that
when the improvements were completed
the building would pay a revenue of from
$4,000 to $25, 0oe which would be equivalent
to an endowment fund of not less than
900, as this sum would not be likely
to earn more than 4 or per cent
At meeting of the New Century club
yesterday the question of appointing rep

considered. The committee will include

PROSECUTIONS DROPPED.
County Attorney BigeIOw Has Sew
eral Cases Dismissed,

era1 Cases Dismissed,
In district court yesterday County At
torney Bigelow appeared before Judge
Bum and nolled two indictments charg-
ing Andrew P. Swanstrom, formerly
grand secretary and treasurer of the de-
funct Order OF Minnehaha, with perjury.
Last winter Swanstrom, who is chief
clerk in the office Of County Treasurer
Arosin, was tried and acquitted on an in
dtctment charging him with grand lar
ceny in connection with the affairs of
the order. Another indictment charging
him with perjury in making false re-
turns of the condition of the order was
found by the grand jury. which was
found invalid by reason of H. c. McNair,
a member of the board of school d.
rectors, having been on the jury. A du-
plicate indictment was found, and both
were nolled yesterday.
AS the situation was explained by the
county attorney, SWanstrom was inten-
tionally guilty Of no wrongdoing. On
the strength of a statement from Albert
Scheffer that the Allemannia bank would
pay In full he had returned $675 in cash.
1t appeared that the amount Of money
named had been on deposit.
The case Of Theodore Bruce and A. T.
Smith, the dog catchers, charged with
the larceny of a dog, was nolled, together
with the Indictment against Allan P. Hall,
alias Allan +. Fenwick, charged with the
theft Of a watch belonging to the Span
genberg family A nolle was also direct
ed in the case Of NJ. Laff, indicted for re-
ceivirg stolen goods.
All of the other criminal cases were
continued until next term except the

nlent Will be argued at special term Sat

FERGUS FALLS Mimi, Nov. "a
new distance tariff is to go into effect on
the Great Northern Dec. 8, and the adj
vance sheets received by the officials
here Indicate that there will be a most
radical reduction in the cost of carrying
almost all kinds of freight between points
throughout the Northwest under the new
schedule. This reduction will probably
average Is per cent on all classes Of
merchandise. McConkey, Dunbrack &
BealI, the wholesale grocers of this city,
have been endeavoring to secure a dis
tributing rate similar to that granted

other places for some time. but it is I'M

duction in their present rates.

it is intimated in Chicago, in maturing
plans which will give the road better IA

The present system of divisions will
greatly facilitate the handling Of freight,
from which the road has in former years
drawn large portion Of its revenue. Ac-

template a betterment in methods OF

worst That Ever Happened.
Because a large black shepherd dog bit
him in the left leg on May 5, William
H. Schenck. railroad man, is suing Jo-
seph Ollig ct al. to recover 81, 600 for per-
sonal injuries. The case is being tried
before Judge Jaggard and a jury in dis
trfct court. The plaintiff alleges that the
defenders are the owners of a vicious
mischievous and ferocious doy, which
dog was accustomed to attack and bite
all mankind"
1t appears that as Schenck was passing
the Ollig domicile, on West Seventh
street. near Duke street, the dog ran out
and bit him in the calf He says he was
laid up and unable to work for six weeks
Testimony was introduced to show both

might devour. Thomas r. Kane repre-
