CHANGE Is DESIRED.
Retailers Ask MilIers for Privilege
of Handling Outside Flour.

The retailers and the millers of Mime
apolis have for a number of years had an
arrangement whereby they have been
able to practically eXciVde all outside
flour; that is, -four not manufactured in
the city. The retailer has allowed the
miller to make the price on the flour,
and the retailer then would add % cents
a barrel for handling, and it was agreed
between them that no outside brands of
flour would be handled.
1t now tranSpireS that number of out
side mills are getting a foothold in Min
neapolis, and their goods are being sold
through feed houses and few retailers
SWho were not in on the deal with the
millers, and they have been cutting the
price on outside brands to the detriment
of the city mills, and also making in
roads into some of the retailers trade,
who handled nothing but city made flour.
The retailer is getting tired of the ar
ran cement with the miller and wishes to
cut loose, and handle outside brands, if
he desires. 1t is thought that satisfac-
tory arrangements can be made so that
there win be no cutting of price, and
that the mills here will secure the bust
ness just as we'll as at present
The former arrangement was that a
retailer could handle nothing but the city
brands. If he handled outside brands,
the millers would not sell him any of
their brands and he had to depend en-
tiiely on outside brands for his trade.

LOLA IDA BONNIE
THE SUPPOSED MURDERER OF
YOUNG AYREs ON TRIAL FOR
HER LIFE
THE JURY PANEL EXHAUSTED
Many Jurors HaveS Conscientious
Scruples Against CAPITAL Pun

and Unconcerned.

-
WASHINGTON, s1s.-The trial of
Mrs. Lola Ida Bonnie, on Indictment for
tho murder of the young census clerk
James Seymour Ayers Jr., in the Iatter,s
room at the Kenmore hotel, in this city
last May, began today before Justice
Anderson in criminal court No. The
case was set for 10 o'clock, but it was
several minutes afterwards, before either
the judge or the prisoner appeared in the
court room. At the first session the couts
room, even though of limited capacity.
was by no means crowded. Mr. Bonnie
and Mrs Meacham, husband and sister
of the accused, We're early occupants of
the seats reserved for Mrs Bonine.s
especial friends, as were the five at
torneys engaged for the defense At ten
minutes past 10, Mrs. BONNIE appeared in
the court room, accompanied by her
veteran guard, James w Springman
She walked in SO quietly that her en-
trance was scarcely noted and took a
seat beside her husband, just back of her
counsel and in front of her sister. She
smiled as she greeted her sister and, the
latter placed her arms gently about Ter
as she sank into her seat.
After the preliminaries of calling the
rames Of witnesses and Of jurors were
disposed of, Mrs. Bonnie was asked to
stand and plead to the Indictment She
listened calmly to the reading of the
| document and when it was. concluded
pleaded mot guilty in low, but distinct
tones.
After a brief statement of the case by
Judge Anderson, the examination of
jurors was begun and when the court, at
1880 adjourned for the day, the panel
was exhausted. There were twenty-six
members of the panel and of these four
teen were excused, leaving twelve in the
box. OF the fourteen jurors who were
excused. three were relieved by the court
On account of i'll health, seven upon
challenges by the Defense and four upon
challenges by the district attorney an
of the governments Challenges were
made because of statements on the part
of the witnesses that they had consei-
entious scruples against capital punish
ment. Most of the. challenges on behal E
of the prisoner were on account of the
statements made by the Jurors that they
had formed opinions in4tfe case. Four Oh,
five instances they stated that their views
could not be changed zby new testimony.
Mrs Bonnie was apparently as calm as
any of the spectators during the pro-
ceedings. She spoke frequently with her
husband and sister and only once or
of the day her two boys, respectively
fifteen and thirteen years. of age were in
| the court room. After adjournment she
took dinner with her friends in, the pris
oner'S room in the court house, being
closely attended all the time by the
guard. She was then retired to Jail.

THEY MUST BECOME crTuzHss.
Vikings Will See That Their Broth
ers Are Eligible to Vote.


The Viking league will care for its own
and its brothers and kin from across the
sea IN the matter of political rights and
privileges.
The league decided at the regular meet
ing last night at AleNanders hall that
II it can prevent it, no man from Norway
who IS a citizen or has the right to be-
come a citizen of aHennepins county, shall
be deprived of his right to vote at the

Every Norwegian in the county will ae
hunted out, his name placed upon a list
taken to let him know whether he is en-
titled to the franchise of an American
citizen.
Before the next election and before

gians inS Hennepin county. If there are
any who have not complied with the law

Being Investigated With
Small Results.

The time of Judge Simpson was taken
up yesterday in an investigation of the
affairs of the Minneapolis Fire and Ma
rine Insurance company, upon an order
securedsabX Ms. Dwinnell, receiver of
the company, directing the directors of
the defunet concern to appear before the
court and tell what they know of the
company's business.
The Investigation yesterday showed
principallAg what the directors and Of
ticers Do not know about the company's
gSfairs.
The matter is important. involving the
whereabouts of 100000 worth of stocks
and mortgages, and 100000 worth OF
notes
The corrtpaily was originally incorpor-
hted as a Straight mutual fire insurance
sconcern. Later the officers thought
ssome more money might be made if the
Scope of business was broadened so that
marine Insurance could be written. Ac-
seordings Receiver Dwinnen the follow
ing has been the history of the concern
since tifat conclusion was reached:
The law of Minnesota provides for the
Creation of q guaranty fund when COM
panies wish to write marine insurance.
In July, 1885,, the present board of direc-
tors created such a guaranty fund. This
consisted ofFnotes of $12,509 each from
eight of the directors. 1t was necessary
for the state insurance inspector to GER
tify to the. fact that such fund was in
existence before the state authorities
would permit the company to engage in
marine insurance.
Mr.. DWinneli wants to know where
these assets and 100000 of notes are. The
bal1 n the I0IIbIir hat If ha n
panY held out to the public that it had
a subscribed capital of 100000 which Mr..
DwinneH considers are the notes, and a
paid up capital of 100000 which he con-
Siders the securities.
The investigation yesterday was fruit
less so far as giving any light upon the
conditiin Of the company IS concerned
None of the officers and directors exam
med seemed TO know much about the
subject.
Mr.. Dwinnell says that he expected
such results He says that he has been
unable to secure any information from
the directors and officers, and adopted
this method to see if they would really
disclose anything. He says that unless
he can learn something in this manner
he will be compelled to take otner steps
which will be more fruitful.
There are l5,C00 policyholders of the
company and the costs, says Mr.. Dwin-
nell, of collecting from them an assess
nent, which could not average more thar
S. each would be more than the
money realized. He has brought severa
hundred suits on the assessment of thu
policyhoiders. but does not expect tt

legations of the company.
The receiver also believes that he car

even if he fails to find them He say.
shat steps will be taken to attain this
and after the present investigation is
concluded
There are Several close legal questions

Knut Burger Nordeman, who attempt-

He claims now, if he RECEIVERS, he will

the world does seem to be against him.
He has asked for his mother, but as
yet has not been told Of her death, which
occurred Sunday. resulting from the dose
of morphine she took at the same time
as her son.
1t is hard to tell what effect her death
will have on the young man, and for
that reason the authorities at the city

mothers death, and will not until they
are sure he is well enough to hear the

STRIKE MAY RESULT.
Metal PoIishers to Strike Unless
Demands Are Aceeded To.


Demands Are Aceeded To.
The Metal Polishers' union, in sub
hitting its contract for the coming year
to the local employers has asked that
the length of the working day be reduced
from nine to eight hours; with no CORE
spending reduction in pay. The PROPOSE
ton is now being considered by the en-
ployers.
Although there has been some talk of
strike in case the employers refuse to
accede to the demand officials of the
union declare that the men will go out
only as a last resort.
I'VE haven't got "a chip on our Shout
der," said one of the officers of the union
last night, "and we are not looking for
trouble. We believe the conditions OF
our trade at present will admit of a
shortening of the work day, but We are
also aware that the employers may. hon.
eStly hold a contrary opinion.
The union has about fifty members.
There are no non-union polishers in the
city. The chief firms affected hEatheade-
mand are the Barnabas Plating com
pa1ly, Central Fixture company, Mime
apolis Plating company, and WIlittlesey
Gas and Electric company. If these
firms sign the contract it is believed the
others will fall ia line.
