HOW DEBTS ARE AVOIDED
REFEREE DORIAN POINTS OUT DE-
FECTS IN BANKRUPTCY LAW.

Referee in Bankruptcy M. J. Doran Jr.,
in his report to the attorney general for
the six months ending Oct. l, states that
he is of the opinion that the exemptions
allowed by the present bankruptcy law
are too liberal and cites a number of in
stances where assets claimed exempt ex-
coed the total liabilities.
In one case the property set aside as
exempt as a homestead exceeds the liza
bilities in value by $1,5424, and in
another case the property claimed and
set apart as exempt exceeds the assets
realized by SC. 6969s, and the dividends paid
the creditors by $7,90S.S3 These figures, in
his estimation speak for themselves. In
as many as six cases the property ex-
empt has exceeded the liabilities.
In conclusion the referee says:
1.-THE law is too Ienient in it's provis-
ions With most it affords an easy way
OF evading just and honest debts in a
manner sanctioned by law. With some
it is a necessity. but the greater por-
ton of the applicants are of the salarfed
class with obligations ranging from $3.50
to 81 200. AS their earnings are exempt
from attachment, the moment of ad-
judication and the expense is light, the
law affords them a great convenience FOR
freeing themselves from their obligations
which are not insurmountable. The law
works admirably in adjusting cases with
actual assets, as the process is simple and
inexpensive, but congress should remedy
it's features which operate rather as an

SPEAKS TO SWITCHMEN
LEONARD AMEs DISCUSSES BENE-
FITS OF ORGANIZED EFFORT.

Leonard Ames, first vice grand master
of the Switchmen's Union of North
America, addressed the switchmen of the
city at an open meeting held under the
auspices of the local union No. 81 at
Central hall last night.
Mr.. Ames spoke of the good that the
order was doing among the switchmen
of the country, but confined himself most
ly to the insurance feature of the or
ganization that was adopted at the last
national convention in May and will go
into effect Nov. 1.
This measure is compulsory, and Mr..
Ames consumed considerable time in
pointing out to the audience the benefits
that will be reaped by the families of
the switchmen, who are, by reason of
their calling, constantly in danger Of los
ing life, or at least being severely in
jured.
w. c. Walsh, master of the Minneapo-
lis lodge No. go followed Mr.. Ames with
remarks along the same line. There were
about ESQ switchmen present at the meet
ing.
Mr. Ames will speak at Minneapolis
Sunday afternoon under the auspices OF
the Minneapolis lodge.

SEVENTEEN OLD
80 SAhs
DAY OF THE BoBTA1L IS PAST
Advent of the Big Vehicle With

Doom of Smaller Old
Timers.

Several gallons OF coal oil, a piece OF
| greasy waste, a match and seventeen old
discarded cars, representing in their day
valuation Of as many thousand dollars
wen. up in flames on Greenbrier street
Thursday.
This odd funeral pyre was the, property
OF the Twin City Rapid Transit company,
and was built for the purpose of quickly
removing from the Greenbrier street sta
ton a lot of old trailers and motor cars
that have accumulated the past year
through the substitution Of cars of more
modern design and larger capacity.
All day Wednesday was spent in haul
ing the once profitable hulks to the large
lot near the station, the match being ap-
piled Thursday. OF exceedingly COM
bustible material the mass burned fierce
ly, leaving few hours later, mass of
kissing emberS and twisted iron, the lat
ter being hauled to the junk shop yester-
day. In two hours work was done that
dozen men with bars and axes could
not have accomplished in as many days.
Less than two years ago, the 'shas

demand of late has fallen off and in order
to get rid of them with as little expense
as possible the torch is used Small
towns also used to be included among
the list of buyers, but progress has
stamped them as old style and they will
not have them any longer.
The ST. Paul end of the company Is

LIKELY TO PROTEST
TERMS OF IMPERIAL MANUFAC-
TURING COMPANY'S FRANCHISE
TOO SEVERE
INVOLVE ENORMOUS OUTLAY
Special Meeting of Aldermanic Com
mittee on Streets Called TO Con-
slider Representations of
the Company.

A special meeting of the committee on
streets of the board of aldermen has been
called for some day next week, at which
time the application of the Imperial Man
ufacturing company for a lighting and
heating franchise will be made a special
order of business.
The company, it is understood, objects
strenuously to that section of the new
draft presented by the legal depart
ment which requires the laying of con-
Quits and the stringing of wires in dupli-
cate in a prescribed district now covered
by existing companies, the work to be
done in period of not more than three
years.
To duplicate the plants and territory
covered by the Edison and gas com :.
panies and furnish the same service, it
is claimed that a sum of money little
short of S1,00O,O00 would be necessary.
The company is only capitalized for a
little over a quarter of this amount.
City Engineer Claussen estimates that
a municipal lighting plant for st. Paul
will cost about $780, 900. This would be
for arc lighting only. The addition of
wiring and machinery for incandescent
lighting, the system in use in stores
and residences, would call for an equally
hearty extra expenditure. Mr.. Claus
sen says it all depends on the territory
to be covered.
1.-The proposed ordinance, said Mr.. Claus
sen, certainly gives the city the best Of
the deal, which is perfectly proper, but
1 am afraid the company cannot accept
it and do business, especially when the
right only covers a period Of twenty-five
years. have been in the lighting busi-
ness myself, and it is not all profit.
The legal department claims to be not
alone in imposing these structures, some
IF he np of the council demanding
them Their reason is that if a fran
chise is given, they want to know that
there is sufficient money to carry out the
project, and on a scale consistent with
what competition demands. The board
is favorable to the company, and at the
meeting 1t is expected that some of the
impositions will be removed.

DR.. Pierce's Medicines Do Cure.

We must either believe that a large
percentage of our population lie deliber-
ately and premeditatedly and with
out any motive other than a
love of mendacity, or else we must be-
lieve in the many and remarkable cures
effected by the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and "Favorite Pre-
scription."
For these cures are testified to by hun
dreds of thousands of men and women,
scattered over every state in the Union.
These are the men and women who are
the backbone of the country. Their word
is good with the merchants with whom
they trade, with the neighbors and
friends who are of the community in
they tell the story of cures achieved by
the use of DIR. Pierce's medicines.
Think of the matter in this light. Here
are hundreds of thousands of creditable
witnesses who without conference or
collision testify Independently to a COM
mon series of facts Such testimony as
this from only two or three persons
would be adequate to determine a mat
ter of life or death in any court Of law
instead of two or three witnesses hum
dreds of thousands testify that Dr.
Pierce's medicines do cure the diseases
for which they are prescribed and recon-
mended? We come back to our start
ing point. We must either believe this
| multitude of witnesses or we must be-
lieve that men and women who are as
we are morally and socially will go out
of their way to write monstrous false
hood, damaging to themselves and peril
Gus to the public which it is designed to
| deceive and delude Such an opinion
would be disgrace to the lowest class
of human intelligence.

GRAND JURY REPORT
FIRST BATCH OF INDICTMENTS
TURNED IN YES.
TERDAY
TRUE BILLS IN EIGHT CASES
Important Cases Have Not Yet Been
Observation-Disclosures, Sweeny, Fal-
Ion, Hans and Others
Indicted.

A partial report was turned into Judge
Bum by the grand jury yesterday morn
ing including eight indictments on minol
charges, and two no bills.
From the report it would appear that
the jury had not taken up any of the
more important cases as yet. In the case
of Matthew Mosler, the hack driver who
was charged with an attempted assault
upon Florence Crane the jury returned a
bill, indicting him for taking indecent
liberties without her consent
John Sweeny and Andy Fallon, who en-
tered the residence of BARLEY Kane, some
time ago, were both indicted for burglary
in the second degree, and Henry Benson
will have to stand trial on two charges
of burglary in the third degree. He
broke into the homes of Ann c. Williams
and Henry B. Farwell.
Fred Haas, who is charged with steal
ing a $50 gold watch, was indicted for
grand larceny in the second degree, and
Albert Buttner, who is charged with
stealing three watches, will also have to
face trials on a similar indictment. An
drew Finn, who stole a. typewriter from
the office of w. H. Timer, was indicted
for grand larceny in the second degree.
Herman Kuschke was indicted for nom
support, and Harry S. John for having
criminal knowledge of a female child
under sixteen years of age.
No bills were returned in the cases of
w. L. Bennett, held for grand larceny in
the second, and Dominica Bocas held for
assault in the second degree, and Judge
Bum ordered the sheriff to release them
from Jail.
The men indicted will be arraigned be-
fore Judge Bum Monday morning at 10
o clock, at which time their trials will
be set. The grand jury adjourned yester-
day until Monday morning at 10 o'clock,
when it will resume it's work.

Mutual Life Restrained.

Association of Minnesota and c. H. Big

1t is, in short, a complaint on the part
of policy holders under the old plan, who
did not accept the new policies put out
by the company at the time of the \reor
ganization, and they set up the claim
that the reorganization was illegal, and
ask that the present company be dis
solved and a receiver appointed
The complaint closes with request
that the court grant writ of Injunction
restraining the trustees of the Minnesota
Mutual company from soliciting or
transacting any more business through
their agents on their new form Of poll
cies, or from conducting any further busi-
ness or using the companys funds
T. R. Palmer, president of the Mutual
company, is inclined to regard the action
as simply an attack along the same lines
as many which have been made before
and claims to regard it as rubbish and
nonsense.

has issued a statement based upon the
examination of T. F. Martin, of the Min
nesota Mutual company'S condition, say.
ing that the company was in an excellent
financial shape.

OF interest to Advertisers.

Messrs. Nelson, Chesman & Co... Ad-
vertising agents, ST. Louis, Mo-, Chica-
go, ILL.,, and Pittsburg. Pa, have just is
sued their Newspaper Rate Book for the
current year. 1t contains complete
list of the newspapers and periodicals
throughout the United States and Can
ada, with a circulation of 5000 copies and
over. 1t gives detailed advertising rates
of each, character of the publication
length and width of advertising columns
and in fact every feature pertaining to
the publication which is likely to prove
of interest to an advertiser.
1t represents very heavy expenditure
on the part of the publishers, who have
had for months a corps of trained eX-
perts collecting this information and
compiling it in a manner to make it
thoroughly ineligible to all advertisers.
It is brought out at a timely season. as
very many advertisers select the fall of
the year as the most suitable time for
making their annual advertising appro-
priations. The work will unquestionably
prove a desirable addition to the library
of any advertiser-large or small-who
is not already thoroughly conversant
with the value of different publications,
and all such should avail themselves of
the opportunity to secure copy.

Tales of Woe.
Judge Lewis is still engaged in hearing
the woes of illy-mated couples who de-
sire to have the bonds of matrimony dis
solved. Yesterday Fannie Spicer was
granted a decree from Oscar Spicer, the
latter having deserted her.
Annie Mettler asks for a divorce from
julius Mettler on the ground of drunk
enness, cruelty and desertion, and the
court took the matter under advise
ment.
Blanch He'll, who at the tender age of
eighteen married Frank J. He'll, at
Helena, Mont, was granted a divorce
from her unfaithful spouse, who was a
wealthy miner, but addicted to gambling
and spending his fortune in pursuit of the
elusive kitty
She exhibited letters and photograph
of He'll, taken in Cuba with a native
damsel of undoubted charms. From the
trend of the letter Mrs He'll was of the
opinion that the fair Cuban's charms had
captivated her spouse, and that he pre-
ferred her company to that of his wife
Judge Lewis was of the same way of
thinking and ordered a decree for the
plaintiff.

I had been troubled some time with

Sometimes it would beat fast and at
other times very slowly, so that 1 would
hardly be able to do work for an hour
or two after breakfast, and if I walked
up a hill, it gave me severe pain.

The change came quickly. 1 am now
glad to say that am entirely well of the

A number of my friends have aban-
doned the old-fashioned coffee and have
taken UP with Postum, which they are
using steadily There are same people
that make Postum very weak and taste-
