Yesterday was the twenty fourth
Thanksgiving day that the families Of
Judge Henry G. Hicks, of Minneapolis;
Cen Mark d. Flower, superintendent of
the South st. Paul stock yards; Capt.
Henry A. Castle, sixth auditor Of the
treasury at Washington and Comptroller
j. J. McCardy, of st. Paul, have spent to-
gether.
These pleasant affairs began in 1878.
the first one taking place at Comptroller
McCardy's home in st. Paul. Before they
separated that afternoon Gen. Flower
persuaded the party to go over to the lot
upon which he was building the home
that he and his family now occupy, and
while there he extended an invitation to
them to meet at his house on the sub
seGuent Thanksgiving day. The invita-
ton was accepted and the engagement
fulfilled.
Ever since that time they have met by
mutual agreement at the home of one Of
their number upon the day set apart by
the authorities as that on which all ought
to give thanks and, except on two occa-
sions have all been present.
Yesterday they met at the home of
Judge and Mrs. Hicks, 100 Third avenue
south, Minneapolis, but on this occasion
they missed one of their number, Capt.
Castle, who was unavoidably detained in
Washington
Next year. when their twenty-fifth an
niversary occurs, they expect to have the
most pleasant reunion Of the series, If
such thing is possible, where all have
been SO delightful.
Serious illness will be the only valid
excuse for the absence of any member.

attend.
The attendance is not expected to be
as large as last years. Many have gone
out OF the business. while others have
left for the Klondike. One year there
were 204 delegates to the convention. but
that was during the liyly times on the
river.
The business of the convention will be
important, however, and seySral mat

HUNTERS HAVE LUCK
SEVEN ST. PAUL MEN KILL THREE
MOOSE AND FIVE
DEER
FONDA BAGS A FINE ANIMAL
Secures Magnificent Bull Moose
Weighing HOO Pounds
With a Fine Set OF
AntleFs.

A party of successful nimrods, John
Gilboy, T. C.. Coefield, w. A. Fonda, J.
j. Dewar, W. II. Lowe, W. S. Sherwood
and William Burns, returned yesterday
from a twelve days hunt in the Iron
Mountain country in st. Louis county.
and have to show for their efforts the
finest lot of game that has been brought
out of the woods this year
For twelve days the party secured the
woods in search of big game, and their
search was richly rewarded with three
bull moose, four buck deer and one Goe,
all of them large specimens.
The prize victim of the lot fell vic
tim to the gun of w. A. Fonda Nov %.
The moose is apparently about four years
old and weighs in the neighborhood of
LOO pounds. He has fine pair of antlerS
and magnificent head. He is without
doubt the finest specimen that has been
killed in the woods of Minnesota Tor
many seasons.
The fellow gave Burns and Fonda
two-mile chase, but they finally headed
him off and landed him. They had to
swamp the road for two miles to get
him back into camp, but brought him
in without injuring him in the least.
Burns got a fine bull moose, and the
third one fell to the lot of Dewar. One
of the buck deer is also magnificent
specimen. lie IS evidently veteran, TOR
he has a magnificent pair of antlers. a
piece of which was shot off by Burns,
who figured that the buck was travelling
a little faster than he really was.
The party are justly proud of the re-
suit of their sport Some of the party
have been hunting together for the past
twelve years, and all of them have been
together for the past six seasons, and
they report that this is the biggest haul
of moose they ever made in one season.
They have many times returned with
more deer, but this time they confined
themselves more closely to the moose,
an,. have gratifying results to show for
It.
The game was spread out on the floor
of Burns place Of business on Third
street, and all day long crowds of sports.
men were coming and going from the
place casting envious glances at the KILL
ing. A fine Irish water spaniel dog, the
property of Mr.. Burns is manifesting a
proprietary interest in the big moose, and
nearly all day long he was curled up on
the dead fellows back guarding the car

LAW is KNOCKED OUT
NON-sUPPORT. ENACTMENT OF LAST
LEGISLATURES CONFLICTS WITH
50 COMMON Law
DECISION BY JUDGE ELLIOTT
Holds wife Cannot Testify Against
Husband In Such Casc-Judge
Kelly Agrees With

Judge Elliott, Iof the Hennepin county
district court, rendered a decision Tues
day afternoon which practically multi
fes the nen-support law passed by the
last legislature. The ruling made by
the court was that the old common law
which prevents a woman from testifying
against her husband still holds good, ex-
cept in cases where the wife has been
injured
The question arose when the attorneys
for Frank Carol, on trial in the Henner
pin county court on an Indictment charg-
ing him with non-support, objected to
Mrs. Carols going on the stand and tes-
tifying, and the court sustaining, making
his ruling as above
There is at present case pending be-
fore the supreme court on an appeal
from the Ramsey county court, in which
the same question is at issue. The
county attorneys office here, as well as
the judges of the district court, are Of
the opinion that the law will hardly hold
good.
There has been number of indictments
under the law bert, but conviction
has never been secured. In the majority
of the cases the wives who make the
complaint come to. the attorneys office
and request that the case be dropped.
few ever come to trial.
In one case man charged by
his wife with nonrsupport was tried I'M
der the law and acquitted. Shortly after
the acquittal they began living together
again, and she said that he was very
good man after all, but had been unfor-
tunate
This ruling will lessen the number OF
indictments as it would be difficult
family who was well enough acquainted
with the condition Of affairs to prove a
case of non support under the law, as
an attorney remarked, people as rule
do not air their family troubles for the
benefit of the neighborhood in which they
may live, and if the wife cannot testify
against hers husband the chances are that
there will be no one else who knew
enough about the matter to convince the
court or jury that the man was guilty
of non-support.fes
Judge Kelly. in speaking of the matter
to The G 20 b e. stated that it did not
make a great deal of difference whether
the law was Knocked out or not, as
there had never been a conviction in this
county under it, and it would be hard
matter to secure one. His honor had not
seen Judge rE1liott's decision, and did not
know of it until informed by The
Globe. when he said that the ruling
in regard to a Wifes testifying against
her husband was undoubtedly correct
one under the common law.

the evening as thoroughly as any one
present. After luncheon was served the
guests all repaired to committee room,
where they enjoyed a smoke, and had a
picture taken of the survivors of the
regiment and the governor. Resolutions
of thanks were prepared in which the
kindness of the manager of the hotel
and the ladies who furnished the flowers
and music were mentioned.
The women friends of the old soldiers
prepared pleasant surprise for them.
and when they were seated at dinner
each one was presented with bouquet
Of carnations. All during the banquet
the ladies sang old war songs, many of
which were the songs of the regiment.
Those who took part in this feature of
the programme were: MesdameS Br1m-
hall, Hazard, Winner, Keller, Jones and
Avery.
Capt. Joseph r. King and w. H. Hoyt

man to enlist in the regiment, and has
the honor of being the first volunteer ten

first received, and the First Minnesota

SEWERS COME HIGH
VANCED ONE-TRIRD THIS
YEAR
ANOTHER RISE is EXPECTED
If the Trust Gets Too Greedy, City
May Have to Employ Some
Other Material for
Drains.

The city engineering department .esti-
mates that the sewers constructed so far
this year have increased one-third in cost
over that of last year. Part of the inc
crease is credited to an advance in the
price of labor and teams, but the major
portion of the increase is due to the rails
III price of sewer pipe.
In over one-half of the estimates made
this year by the engineering department
the bids received have shown an excess
that required in a number of instances
readvertising before what was thought a
reasonable offer was obtained. Several Of
the contemplated sewers had to be aban-
doned because of this increase.
Where an increase in cost estimated at
fully a third prevailed this year it is OK
pected that the advance will be even
greater next year. The concentration of
Red Wing sewer interests has already
been given publicity in the receipt by
local sewer pipe agents Of new price
sheets. 1t cannot be said that the prices
have been raised, but restrictions navc
been made that will considerably curtain
the agents profits unless he is ingenious
enough to get around it by taxing the
consumer.
City Engineer Claussen says the price
of street sewer construction has been go
ing UP for the past two years. He does
not expect very heavy increase next
year, but if such does come he says me
only way out will be to construct the
drains of some other material.

BOOM DAIRY INDUSTRY
COMMISSIONER MCCONNELL SAYS HE
BELIEVES IN AGITATION.

Dairy Commissioner Mcconnell is one
of the busiest men in the state, but he
makes it a point to attend every dairy
meeting that he can possibly get to, as
he believes thoroughly in agitation as
method of arousing and maintaining inr
terest in the great industry of the state.
On Dec. 5, in company with his assist
ant, B. D. White, he will attend the meet
ing of the Renville County Dairy asso-
citation at Bird Island.
This is one of the more recently or
ganized organizations of the state, and
we want to encourage it," said Mr.. Nc
Council yesterday. "a county dairy as-
ISOLATION is one of the most beneficial
institutions that can be inaugurated,
and it is important to set every farmer
in the county interested i'll its success.
While our record as a dairy state is very
high at present we cannot forget the
great possibilities that still lie ahead of
us in this direction. Great as this indus
try in Minnesota is today, it is far from
being fully developed Indeed, it is
really in its infancy.
Gut we are getting great deal Of
enthusiasm aroused throughout the state,
and the next year will show an immense
growth of actual achievement

NEW GIFTS RECEIVED
HISTORICAL SOCIETY ACQUIRES
VALUABLE RELICS
EmbIematic Mormon Statuette and
Interesting Manuscript Letter
Written by Historian
SchOOlcraft.

The State Historical society continues
to receive valuable donations from its
friends. Two contributions have been
received during the past few days which
are of unusual value and interest. Mrs.
]. NJ. Russell, of this city, has presented
the society with sacred Mormon relic.
1t is an emblematic statuette from the
deserted Mormon temple at Nauvoo, Ill.
1t represents a kneeling human figure
about one foot in height sculptured in
gray limestone, with undecipherable HER
oglyphics on the back. While extremely
crude, as a work Of art. it is of interest
because of its associations.
Gen. William G. LeDuc, of Hastings,
Mimi, one of the earliest pioneers of the
state, and at one time United States
commissioner of agriculture, has donated
to the society a very valuable manuscript
letter written by Henry r. Schoolcraft,
the distinguished student and historian
of the Indian tribes of the country, from
whose famous book Longfellow got his
idea of Hiawatlla. The letter was writ
ten March q 1858, to William w. Warren
of New York city, and relates to his
manuscript history of the Ojibway ma
ton. Gen. lie Due also presented the
society with some rare maps of London,
Isle of Wight, and other places in Eng
land and Europe, all of them prior to the
date of 1880.

FREE FROM ALL DEBT
MORTGAGE RESTING ON GRACE
METHODIST CHURCH is PUB
LICLY BURNED
STRUGGLED FOR MANY YEARS
Members Have Loyalty Raised Over
$4,000 to Discharge All Obliga-
tiOns-SeveraI Former
Pastors Present.

With a vigorous clapping of hands and
the singing of the hymn. Praise God
From Whom All Blessings Flow" the
congregation of the Grace Methodist
church, Burr and Minnehaha streets, last
night sounded their emancipation, when
on the altar of their hopes, was burned
a mortgage calling for an Indebtedness
of over $1,000.
1t was as the last scrap of paper burst
into fame that the 500 voices Joined in the
singing of the hymn, while the hand clap
ping that followed was only hushed as
the presiding minister bowed his head
and pronounced the benediction.
The mortgage, to which the president
of the Ladies' Aid society applied the
match, represented an Indebtedness ex-
tending over a period of nearly fifteen
years, and the programme attending the
affair carried with 1t more than ordinary
interest Many pastors have filled the
pulpit of Grace since Is was built in
1873, and feature of the ceremonies was
the presence of the majority of them,
including the first pastor, DIR. John STAFF
ford. On the platform with Rev. STAFF
ford were DR.. +. H Stewart, Doctors
Robert Forbes and F. M. Rule, both pre-
siding elders; Rev. NJ. G.. Shuman, ]. G.
Morrison and Rev. Homer c. Ashcraft
the present pastor. Each told his part in
the emancipation, and followed it with
words of cheer. The mortgage repre-
sented an original debt of $4,000, which
through unpaid interest and accumula5
lions, had. reached nearly $4,000
The real founder of Grace M e. church
was Mrs. Grace Seager, her part In the
work being the organization of Sunday
school in the early sixties. She aided
it with her labor, and when 1t grew In
size beyond the confines of her parlor,
raised money for the construction of
small chapel. This was enlarged in 1874.
The church was then located on Hop
kins street, but in 1856 larger lot was
purchased and the present edifice
erected The cost incurred necessltated
the mortgaging Of the building, and it
was this document that the congregation
destroyed last night.
