THE VALUE OF A RUPEE
FLUCTUATING VALUE OF INDIAN
COIN CAUSES TROUBLE.

NEW YORK, Nov. &c. = The United
States board of classification today gave
a decision in the case of LuciuS
Beebe & Son, of Boston, importers,
against the decision of the collector of
customs at Boston, the decision involv-
ing the value of the Indian rupee, In
cases in which merchandise from foreign
countries is invoiced in this coin. It was
said at the appraisers Office that under
this decision, If 1t is sustained, the gov
eminent will have to refund large sums
that have been paid IN duties on Indian
goods and that the amount involved is
estimated to be from 0,090 to 81, 000, co.,
this having been a test case.
The Beebe casessinvolves the construc-
ton Of the proviso to section Is of the
tariff act of Aug.s2S. 1894, which provides
that the director of the mint shall quar-
-terly establish the value of foreign coin
in United States currency, according to
the pure metal in them.
At the time that Beepe & Sons made
their importation ethis pure metal value
of a rupee had been fixed at 10 1900
cents. 1t was claimed, however, by the
government that the rupee actually pos
sessed an exchange value of 81 11-l00
cents, and thea Boston collector used the
larger figure in establishing the duties.
The importers went before the board
Of classification to require the collector
to liquidate the duties on the basis Of
the pure metal value of the rupee as es-
tablished by the director of the mint.
The board sustained their contention and
it was affirmed by the United States cir
cult court at Boston and also by the
United States circuit court of appeals at
Boston.

FRANK EDDY IN ST. PAUL
CONGRESSMAN TALKS ABOUT RAIL
ROAD AGITATION.

Congressman Frank NJ. Eddy, Of Glen
wood, was in ST. Paul yesterday on mis-
way to Washington. Speaking of the agi-
tation against the consolidation of rail-
ways Congressman Eddy said:
The way to get at all these questions
Is by a constitutional amendment, giving
congress the power to control and regu-
late trusts, a bill for such an amendment
passed the house last winter, but was
defeated in the senate.s A like bill will
be introduced again this winter, and will
pass the house without difficulty. The
thing for the people to Go is to bring pres
sure to bear on their senators and get
them in line for the bill. If it gess
through the senate the states will adopt
1t, and we will have an effective means
of restricting these combinations.
julius Schnahl, of Redwood Falls, chief
clerk of the house. was also In st. Paul
yesterday. He predicts that Eddy will
carry Redwood and Lyon counties, ana
probably Kandiyohi, and that Young will
get a majority in Swift, Chippewa, Lac
qui Parle and Big Stone. He comedies
only Renville to Bowling, and looks for
Eddy's nomination by large vote.

COFFEE IMPORTER
Tells some Plain Facts.

One of the heaviest importers Of coffee
in America, and who requests that his
name be kept from the public IN connec-
of the effect it would have on his busi-
ness, says: st have used coffee for over
thirty-five years, but about year ago
was compelled to discontinue its use on
account of it's effect on my health. Since
that time have used nothing in its
place but Postum Cereal Food Coffee
and properly prepared, it is simply de-
licious with cream and sugar.
In connection with this 1 have also
used Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food While
in Florida this winter I carried pack
age with me all the time, so if I was
unable to get what I wanted for break
fast I could rely on my own supply.
Anyone who could have known of my
condition a year ago, and the very great
improvement now would have no cause
to question the wisdom of nay change
from the old-fashioned diet to the pres
ent'
This man is oneIof the best known cof-
fee experts in the world, and his testi-
mony regarding the flavor of Postum
Cereal Food Coffee IS noteworthy.
Now and then "a person gets Postum
Food Coffee served under-boiled and con-
seuuently almost sotaste1ess. A chemical
change takes place in Postum after it
has been actively boiled for IL or Is
minutes; this change brings out the food

Many a man or woman continues in
half sick state from month to month, not
knowing that the drug in the coffee they
use is the cause; try leaving off coffee
and using Postum Food Coffee. That
change has worked salvation for many
skeptical sick ones.

WILL GET TOGETHER
REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE
TO PREPARE FOR CAM
PAIGN
WILL BRING OUT NOMINEES
Organization Looking for Winners,
and Also Men That Will Take
Care of Workers if
Elected.

In superseding the party convention the
new primaryslaw is supposed to have for
its end tie destruction Of the machine, -
but indications are that the Republican
machine, at least, will refuse to be
wiped out.
There is a strong rumor to the effect
that the local city Republican organiza-
ton will call meeting in q few days for
the purpose of preparing for the spring
campaign, and incidentally selecting
Song and J. J. McCardy are the only
ones 50 far who have given substantial
evidence Of their intentions, and 1t cam
not really be said that they are slate
selections.
What the organization wants Is Win
hers, and they are afraid that if no ac-
ton is taken the lists will be filed with
aspirants that will fail an easy prey to
the Democratic nominees. Besides, the
workers must be rewarded and only
machine men can be relied upon to- carry
out this part of the programme.
Under the law no mans name can be
placed upon the ballot over his protest.
The prospective candidate cannot be en-
tered by proxy, but must appear in per-
son and sign his name to an application
blank. 1t is really a case of man seek
ing the Office rather than the office seek
ing him.
If for nothing else, the central COM
tee will meet to prepare for the spring
campaign, which is likely to be a vigor-
Gus one. The Democratic central COM
mittee will also be called together short
ly for this purpose.

DIES AT ROCHESTER
RUSSELL C. MUNGER, WELL KNOWN
IN HIS DAY, PASSES AWAY.

Russell c. Munger, at one time a pros
porous and we'll known retail merchant
Of ST. Paul, passed away Sunday even
ing at the asylum for the insane at
Rochester.
Mr.. Munger was in the music bust
ness in ST. Paul and was the organizer
of one of the first bands in the state
and city, known as the. "Old Gents
Band" which was finally merged into
the Pioneer Guard band, which in turn
was succeeded by the Great Western
band, of which Mr.. Munger was leader
for number of years. He also organ
lied and ran the first baseball club in the
state. In September, 1899, we was COM
mitted to Rochester, having been forced
into bankruptcy and sustaining severe
business reverses. which eventually I'M
balanced his mind.
He was a prominent Mason, member
of the Ancient Landmark, Minnesota
chapter, Damascus commandery, and the
Scottish Rite. At one time he was cap
tain general and at another general of
the Damascus commandery. He was
genial and whole-souled and loved and
respected by all who came in contact
with him.

BRIGGS ON THE MOVE
DOES NOT RELISH PROSPECT OF
SPENDING THANKSGIVING IN
WORKHOUSE
FRIENDS PLEAD FOR HIM
Pardon Board Is Asked to Act Quick
ly-Alleged That He Was Sim
gled Out and Made
Scapegoat.

Unless the state board Of pardons
should come promptly to his rescue, Fred
A. Briggs may be subjected to the an
noying experience of eating his Thanks
giving dinner at the Minneapolis work
house. D. F. Reese, clerk of the SUI
preme court, made his return to the Hen
nepin county district court yesterday In
the two criminal cases In which Briggs
is defendant. In one case it will be re-
membered the supreme court granted
Briggs a new trial on the ground that he
had not been given by the district court
that fair and impartial hearing to which
any person accused of crime is entitled.
In the other case the order of the SUI
preme court was affirmative Of the judg
ment of the lower court, whereby Briggs
was sentenced to serve six months in the
worllhouse and pay fine of $500.
1t now devolves upon the Hennepin
county authorities to execute sentence
in this latter case unless such action
should be forestalled by intervention Of
the state board of pardons and such in
tervention is now being actively sought
by Briggs and his friends. Briggs seeks
a communication of sentence whereby the
workhouse term shall be eliminated from
the penalty imposed upon him, leaving
him pay the fine. He called in person at
the capitol yesterday hoping to bring
about a special meeting of the board of
pardons TO consider his case at once, and
although no time has been definitely
fixed for such a meeting it is generally
understood that it will be held this after
noon.
A petition in behalf of Briggs which
bears the signatures of a large number of
influential citizens of Minneapolis, will
be laid before the board. 1t will be ar
gued in the interest of Briggs that he
was unfairly treated in being singled out
by the court owing to personal prejudices
for severe punishment while others who
were equally, If not more, culpable were
let off with nominal fines.

EVANS SECOND TRIAL
DAY SPENT IN EXAMINING WIT
NESSES FOR THE
STATE
KANE WILL REST CASE TODAY
August Northrop, States Star Wit
ness. Tells OF the Attempted
SwindIe for the Fourth
Time.

Young August Northrup for the fourth
time in Judge Bunns court, yesterday
took the stand and told a jury how the
three alleged confidence men, Fay, Evans
and Mccartney had attempted to
swindle him out of $50 by means of the
old three-card monte game.
The story he told yesterday was sub
stantially the same as the one told at
the previous trials. He is evidently an
unsophisticated lad but he makes a good
witness for the state, and sharp cross
examination by Judge Hamer, for the
defense, was productive of no results OF
benefit to the accused man.
Attorney Mcdonald is not appearing in
the retrial of the case, Harvey E. Hall
and Judge Hamer, a friend of Evans
father from Nebraska, conducting the
case for the defense, while County At
torney Kane has personal charge OF the
states side of the matter.
All three of the men were in court, and
Evans frequently consulted with his at
torneys. Fay and Mccartney did not
seem greatly interested in the evidence
that was being taken.
The state called Chief O'Connor who
told of the arrest of the men and the
affair as it occurred at the Rondo street
and central stations. Frank Robert, in
front of whose home the arrest was
made, testified to going to the sidewalk
from his house and assisting the officers
in holding the men. He also accom-
panied them to the Rondo street station.
He testified to seeing O'Connor strike
Fay on the way to the sta.4on.
Officer Morgan testified to giving chase,
first to Evans and later to Fay, and told
OF the passing of the money by Evans
to Northrop. The witness waXed face
tious when asked how he came to fire his
gun at Evans, and replied why
pulled the trigger" Judge Hamer at
tempted to get Morgan to admit that he
was f1urried and excited, and did not re-
member very clearly just what occurred,
Witness, however, was positive Of every
thing he said, and at the adjournment
the defense had not succeeded in getting
him at all confused
The state is practically through out
Attorney Kane did not rest last night
as he said he might want to recall Wit
ness Northrop in the morning. The state
feels that they have made out a strong
case and expect a conviction. Just what
the line of defense will be is not known,
but it is expected that it will be about
the same as in former trial. The case
will be resumed this morning.
