EDITORS COME TO TOWN
FOR THEIR ANNUAL MEETING
First Day VIII Be Given to Sight
Seeing in St. Paul and
saltwater.

Minnesota editors have already begun to
gather for their annual meeting in st.
Paul tomorrow and Friday. The two
days promise to be full of pleasure and
business. Tomorrow will be given up
largely to seeing things-of an entirely ir-
reproachable character, of course. The
members of the association will meet at
10 O'Clock in the morning at the rooms OF
the st. Paul Commercial club. There they
will listen to the annual address by the
president, Charles S. Mitchell, of the
Alexandria Post-News.
After Mr.. Mitchell has finished, the ed
itors and their wives will take special
cars, furnished by Mr. Lowry for the trip,
and will be carried off to Saltwater, but
not to stay, nor to experience any labor
harder than that of eating a dinner such
as those who are to be hosts in Saltwater
know we'll how to prepare for. After see
ing the sights Of the town, cars will be
taken for the return trip which according
to the schedule should end about o'clock.
The evening will be given up to recep-
tion for the editors and their wives at the
Ryan hotel. Following the reception there
will be an entertainment for the editors
only with Colonel Conde Hamlin as host.
The nature of this entertainment is some
thing of mystery and for that reason all
of the editors will of course be on hand.
At IL o'clock, in order to make full day
of it, the editors will have an opportunity
to witness an interesting athletic perform
ance, with which, Of course, Mayor Ames
will have no opportunity to interfere, as
it will be in st. Paul.
Friday will be taken up with more seri-
Gus business, such as the reading of pa
pers, the election of officers and visit
to the legislature. The full program for
Friday will be announced later. The
executive committee will make a report on
arrangements made for the excursion to
Buffalo in the first week of June.

The announcement that the Leipsic
Philharmonic Orchestra is to appear in
Minneapolis under the auspices of the
Institute of Arts and Letters, has Gre
ated considerable interest among those
conversant with things musical, and a lit
tie misunderstanding as we'll. There are
two such organizations in Leipsic, one of
the greatest musical centers of Europe.
One of these is the Leipsic Philharmonic
Orchestra, which is making the present
tour, and the other the Gewandhaus
orchestra, conducted by Nikisch, formerly
conductor of the Boston Symphony or
chestra. Nikisch and Winderstein have
repeatedly exchanged places, each direct
ing the others orchestra.
While the Gewandhaus orchestra has
been in existence for many years, the
Leipsic Philharmonic orchestra was or
ganized but five years ago. It's organizer,
promoter and only conductor has been
Hans Winderstein. a great musician. as
we'll as a man of great wealth. who has
ever since maintained the organization,
and who is the power that enables the or
chestra to come to America. The orches-
ira consists OF seventy-fve members. all
selected with the greatest care for the en-
smble, and many justly entitled to the
proud title Of virtuoso.
Winderstein began his musical career
In the G6WaQQlauS OfcucSlTd, DSIuS cdkACu
thence to the head of the violin depart
ment of the Winterthur conservatory,
Switzerland. Here he developed his
splendid powers as O conductor and di-
rector. For three years he conducted q
concert orchestra at Nuremberg, and for
three years more the concerts of the Phil
harmonic societies of Nuremburg and
Fuerth Winderstein was then called to
Munich to direct the newly established
Philharmonic Orchestra.
In 1896 the Leipsic Philharmonic Or
chestra was organized by Winderstein and
the philharmonic concerts at Leipsic and
Halle were founded. 1t is this orchestra
which is to be heard in America. In ad-
dition to conducting a regular series OF
orche stral concerts in Leipsic. successful
concert tours have been made throughout
Germany, Russia, Sweden. Norway and
Denmark. All the leading cities were
visited. and these tours have been a
series of ovations for the distinguished
conductor and his now world-renowned

TO SAVE ICE BILLS
A New Device for Cooling Freight
Cars,

A new invention for reducing the tenn
perature of freight cars without the use OF
ice promises to revolutionize methods OF
shipping perishable goods, especially
fruits and vegetables. Air tunnels at
tached to the sides of cars, supplying
fresh air to the interior, keeping the tenn
perature at proper height without
sweating of the contents. Ice bills are
saved and the cars used are plain freight
cars, which are much lighter than re-
frigerator cars, permitting a saving in
hauling. 1t Is claimed that fruit may be
picked ripe in the south and transported
in these cars to northern points ready
for distribution without having to be ar
tihcially ripened after arrival. The COM
pany introducing the device has opened an
Office in Minneapolis with e. r. Gilman

AMESIS "AGIN" VAN
"Doc" Would Like to Be Governor
of Minnesota.
SAYS HE ELECTED VAN SAINT
Then the "Marble-Hearted Fiend
InSratitude" Got in Its Work
Now the Knife.

The latest thing in political circles is
the Ames gubernatorial boom. Since the
preach between Governor Van SAINT and
Mayor Ames, 1t is a matter of common
oellef about the capitol that Ames will
be candidate for the nomination for gov
ernor year hence. While the idea has
not found particular favor outside Mime
apolis. and it is said to have made a great
hit with the doctor and his immediate
following.
Gubernatorial ambition is no new thing
with Ames. Since the great race he made
against McGill, running as a democrat
the doctor has been possessed with the
idea of running out his political career
by term in the statehouse. In 1896 he
ran for governor as midroad populist
but in 1898 turned his attention again to
the mayoralty, and in 1900 landed He
and his friends gave themselves the
credit for overcoming Lind's majority in
Hennepin and giving the county to Van
SAINT.
How Van SAINT Was Elected.
AS the doctor puts it in conversation
by mere accident, l was the candidate
OF the republican party for mayor last
fall. Consequently. Samuel r. Van SAINT
was elected governor of Minnesota"
On this theory Ames believed that Van
SAINT owed him a good many favors and
was much disappointed from the first at
their failure to come. He claimed the
position of warden at Saltwater for Col
onel Ames, his brother, and was very sore
when denied the boon. He accused the
governor Of harboring the marble
hearted fiend,' ingratitude. The governor
was used to complaints by this time and
paid little heed, though still maintaining
conciliatory attitude.
The prize fight incident touched off the
fireworks, and since the mayors explosive
interview denouncing the governors ac-
tion, all has been off between them. In
the expressive language of Artemus Ward
Ames feels that to him, the governor is
''wuss than dead" He does not intend to
let any one forget about it, though and
one evening recently dropped in at the
Windsor, and having collected an audience
of members Of the legislature, delivered
a scathing arraignment Of Van SAINT.
'DOc" Makes Acquaintances.
The genial doctor has been making a
good many trips to St. Paul since the
legislature convened and has made the
acquaintance of a good many country poll
ticians. He has heard the murmurings OF
discomfort which have followed many OF
Van SAINTS appointments, and has listened
very attentively. The feeling is especially
strong in Minneapolis. against the gov
ernor and the dissatisfied ones are look
ing around for candidate. DR.. Ames is
convinced that he is the man who can de-
feat Van SAINT for the nomination, and
lead the party to victory in 1902.
At present it is a still hunt.
The band will not begin to play until
next winter. Meanwhile the breach be-
tween governor and mayor is bound TO
grow still wider, if possible and the city
administration will constantly oppose and
discredit the governors office. At least
this is the program looked for by the poll
ticians.

DEMAND IS GOOD
Potato Dealers Busy Supplying Low
ers of "Murphies."

Minneapolis is one of the central sup
ply points for the potato consuming pop
uIation Of the west. Local wholesalers
who specialize in potatoes have been en-
joying good demand since last fall Min
nesota contributes much of this supply
Michigan some, and northern Wisconsin

markets for the Minneapolis dealers. Nc
matter how fair the sun shines, how
propitious the season, or how big the
democratic majority, Missouri always
comes to the front with a big demand fo1
Minneapolis potatoes. Kansas, Nebraska
and Oklahoma are not far behind, and the
poor crop conditions in North Dakota last
year forced the f1ickertails to buy most OF
their tuberS here.

THAT HAMILTON JURY
GIBsON's PLEA TO THE JUDGE
One of the Arguments of Those Who
Wanted Hamilton Con-
VicIed,

0. N. Anderson is the member of the
jury who called on Frank H. Hamilton
Sunday and expressed the belief that he
was innocent.
w. L. Gibson, the member of the jury
who is said to have become hysterical be-
cause OF sickness in his family and thus
to have influenced some Of the jurymen
to hasty action, sent word to Judge Brooks
before sentence was pronounced that JUS
tice would be done if Hamilton should be
given a very short sentence
Fear for Hamilton.
AS the fact are gradually coming out, it
appears that majority of the jurors were
strongly influenced in their final decision
by the fear that Hamilton might fare
worse with another jury Anderson says
it was the general fear that unless an
agreement were reached another jury
might convict Hamilton of murder in the
second degree. 1t was this argument, he
says, which was used effectively by the
three or four men who had steeled their
hearts against the defendant and had
leaned toward the severest penalty from
the start.
Letters to the Judge.
Judge Brooks mail after Hamilton was
found guilty and up to the time sentence
was imposed was flooded with letters from
women begging him to exercise the utmost
leniency in dealing with the case.
The ten days stay granted in the case
will be up week from Thursday at 5:30
p. m. If no further stay is asked Hamil-
ton will be taken to the penitentiary on
the day following.
The law provides for a parole after half
the sentence has been served, which would
allow Hamilton his liberty in three and a
half years.

HARD ON B0BLETER
Former State Treasurer Caught by a
Court Decision.

Judge Kelley fled decision in st. Paul
yesterday which if held sound law by the
supreme court will mean an addition to
the state treasury of $93, ,95S.O6
The case grows out of the st. Paul bank
failures of 1898, when the state had on
deposit about $137 900. There remains a
balance of $93,95S unpaid, and it was to
recover this amount that the state brought
suit against the then state treasurer,
Joseph Bobleter, and the sureties on his
bond.
The action originated as a demurrer
Of the state to the separate answers inter
posed by the defendants and was finally
submitted Dec. 20 last. The court sustains
the demurrers to the separate answers.

HAVE ANOTHER TIFF
Board of Education Wrang1es Over
Heating Plants
THAT OF THE EAST HIGH SCHOOL
a Lively Dispute-Changes in
List of Teachers.

Director Mcmillan was one of the
| principals in another scene in the board
OF education yesterday afternoon. Though
no longer a member of the building COM
mittee, he apparently feels the response
bility belonging to membership on that
committee and is not at all backward
about speaking up when he believes there
| is occasion for it.
| His differences with his fellow members
of the board arose this time over the prop
| osition to allow the final $500 on the con-
tract for the heating plant at the new
East high school. Here was plant cost
ing about $4,000, Mr.. Mcmillan explained,
and it was the part of business wisdom to
put it to a thorough test before finally ae-
cepting it. Besides the specifications re-
quired it, and he believed in making con-
tractors live up to the very letter of the
specifications. The board had been too
easy in such matters heretofore, he de-
clared. He had noticed, he said, that
nine times out of ten when there was a
point in the specifications at all in doubt
the board gave the contractors the benefit
Of the doubt.
Mcmillan Is Fired.
'Now, l am tired of this way of doing
business" said he 1.-The board of edu-
cation should be- just as strict in these
matters as business men are in their own
operations MI. McMlllan insisted unaC
the plant should be tested by experts be-
fore 1t was accepted
Director Pratt took the lead in reply
ing to the East Side members observa-
tions, and expressed himself with consid-
cradle more than his accustomed show of
feeling. He declared that the plant had
been tested sufficiently and found all
right.
Mr.. Mcmillan, much perturbed, re-
turned to the charge more insistently
than ever, and again Mr.. Pratt made re-
sponse. After still another animated ex-
change, the board got down to a vote
Mr.. Mcmillan stood alone, and the plant
was accepted.
The Luncheon Idea.
The traditional conservatism of the
board asserted itself a little earlier in
the meeting on an unusual proposition put
forward by Principal Hobbs and the teach
ers OF the North high school. They be-
