of the legislative appropriation bill in
the house Unexpectedly sprang an
amendment to appropriate $250,000 to
enforce the Sherman antitrust law
and to direct the attorney general to
proceed to the prosecution of all

publicans raised election to the loose

:: Real estate agents are going to take
active measures, il not through the real
estate board, in some other way, to stop
the surreptitious removal of For Sale
signs from vacant residence property in
the city. United action on the part of
real estate men who thus advertise their
connection with properties for sale, it is
thought, will put a stop to the practice.
It is understood that detectives have been
employed already to learn the identity of
the offenders.
Several classes of persons are disturb
ing the peace of the real estate men in
this way. Boys are. frequent offenders.
The pulling up Of such signs seems to
be gained in no other way, perhaps, than
by crossing the dimes to mystify the
driver of peddler wagons.
In more stringent times poor people in
need of fuel haveybeen suspected of add
ing to their supply by taking these signs
which in cases afford a pretty supply Of
wood.
9 The offender who is regarded by the pro-
fessien astthe worst, is the man wholives
on the adjoining lot. By removing a
sign as fast as lit is replaced he hopes
to stop a; possible sale and erection Of a
house which might shut out his view and
is liable to do this even if he is no nearer
than across the street. i5a

similar to the one used by the Minnesota
Bankers association, will indicate mem
bership. The members of the Bankers q
organization are so confident of the adj
vantages of their talisman that they be-
lieve bank cracksmen pass by when the
mystic membership card is hung over the
teller's window.
1t is fact that the bankers have made
it an object to men of the profession to
join. The real estate men hope to make
it impossible for the legitimate and hon
orable real estate man to stay out
of the board and conserve his own in
terests. Certificates Of membership may
then be used to evidence to prospective
customers that any deal in the Office is on
the square.
The real estate board proposes to let
every reputable agent in the city know
that he is wanted on the membership list.
An active canvass among the members Of
the fraternity in the city will be made.
The backward man who has not Joined be-
cause he was never invited to viii no
longer have an excuse. The fee is nom
inal and the single advantage gained
from the Interchange of ideas in the reg
ular luncheon meetings is believed to be
worth the price Of admission. Several
Inducements such as access to the yalua-s
ton committees reports are already we'll
known.
The hardest man to deal with is the
one who believes that he will wait until
the board s'does some thing" He once be-
longed, but received no special coed from
his afiliation, and does not care to go in
again. Men Of this class are wanted just
as much as the kind which is always
ready to put the shoulders to the wheel
on any venture for the good Of the city.
They will be appealed to by the argu-
ment of advantages Of membership which
are as an open book to the charter mem
bers who have attended board meetings
since the reorganizati ton a year ago.

MAKES RESTITUTION.
Capt. Beunet Presents Widow OF
Man He Killed With
$4,000.

Capt. S. G. Bennett, of Crystal
Falls, who has been on trial for the
murder Of a poundmaster at that
place, was acquitted by jury Mon
day. Capt. Bennett claimed that he
killed his man in self-defense and
the jury's verdict on this theory was
n complete acquittal, The killing
occurred in fight between the two
men over an action of the pound
master which Bennett deemed I'M
duly arbitrary.
Capt. Bennett has taken means
which will go far toward relieving
the family of the poundmaster, who
lost his life in the fight, OF the des-
titution in which the death OF the
husband and father left its mem
bers.
Soon after the trial Capt Bennett
called together a dozen OF his friends
with number of those OF the family
of the deceased and said in ef-
feet:
II am worth so much in money
and property. Here are the evidcn-
ces. want TO do do something for
the widow and her children, and any
amount you say | will pay. I make
no limit.
After fairly canvasslng the sub
iect, these men decided that the sum
of 5000 would be fair amount.
The widow was at once given 5000,
and 80 900 was placed in the hands
of j. Fl. Parks and M. II. Moriarity,
trustees appointed by Judge Stone
for the care and benefit of the
family.
