diligence, care and thoughtfulness.
On the whole it was very pleasant
and profitable occasion and much
good, which will leave its impress on
the minds of those who attended
these opening exercises, will come

a very poor one at that.

when the papers We're recently served

payment on that note, my lawyer and I

Whoever affixed my name to that note
might at least have made it look some
thing like my original signature. The
only letter in the forgery that looks any
thing like my writing is the capital >'C

MY signature is on the public records
at the courthouse for the last twelve years
and my handwriting is the same in each
instance. My style Of writing hasn't
changed particle in twenty years except
that it has perhaps become a little less

GROCERS AND CUBA

P. G. Hanson, president of the National
Retail Grocers' association which meets
in annual convention Monday at Milwau-
kee, says there is no concerted move to
put the association on record for or against
reciprocity with Cuba. .s..s. H..
ct is quite possible" he explained,
Cuba will come up in one way or another,
although I have had no direct intimatlon
to that effect. I have just received let
ter from the secretary of the Nebraska
Retail Grocers' association asking II the
matter would come up and if 1t would be
discussed from the floor of the house. 1
know no more about 1t than he does. The
Nebraskans, no doubt, feel intensely on
this matter as the free admission Of Gu
ban sugar would menace their beet sugar
interests.
at would not be surprising If the asso-
citation takes firm stand against the
bankruptcy law and adopts resolutions
demanding its appeal. I know Of no class
Of business men who have suffered more
from the workings Of this law than gro
GERS, who have been forced to sit by and
see their creditors repudiate their honest
obligations, poWerless to enforce payment
on the same. From my own experience
I know that a great injustice is done by
this law to every business man who Is
forced to do more or less credit business
and I personally favor the repeal or sat

premium on debt lodging.
There will be a large attendance at
the meeting and there is lots of work

MAIL AUTOS ARE TESTED
MIR. wANvIG MAKES TRIAL TRIPS
A Ten-Mile Route Covered In an
Hour and u Half, Include
ing Stops.

superintendent Of Delivery Marc Wan
Wig, of the postottlce, has made three
trial trips by automobile and Is thor
oughly satisfied with the performance Of
the vehicles the contracting company has
supplied for collecting mail. On the Mon
day trip he covered ten miles in an hour
and a half with ffty-five stops. No ex-
traordinary spurts were attempted, the
route was made at an ordinary jog.
Collections at some corners were made
from two boxes, for both letters and
packages. Mounted Carriers would have
consumed at least two hours for the same
circuit. The route was out Lyndale to
Lake, to Hennepin, to Lyudale N, to West
ern, Humboldt, to Sixth avenue NJ to
the market on Fifth street and back to
the main office.
Yesterday collections were made on the
east side, both north and south, along
the street car lines. To-day the run was
made out Nicollet to Station D. at Thir-
tyfrst, to Chicago avenue, to Twenty
seventh, to Fourth avenue and thence to
the postofice.
Superintendent Wanvig is laying out the
regular collection routes and when the
contractor has delivered all the machines
everything will be in readiness ,--.
To improve the rural free delivery SER
vice from Robbinsdale the department is
about to close contract with the street
railway companies to carry mail once a
day between Minneapolis and Robbinsdale.
The pouches will be transferred at the
end Of the Twentieth avenue N line to
the Robblnsdale line. The carriers will
leave Robb1nsdale on the different routes
early in the morning instead of at noon.

AUDIENCE ENTHUSIASTIC
Large Crowd Wildly Cheers tn
,- 10. Royal Italian Band.

Large Crowd Wildly Cheers the
" Royal Italian Band.
Seldom has the metropolitan theater
been the scene of such enthusiasm as fol-
lowed the Royal Italian Bands mastery
rendition of Boito's ''Mtfistofele" last
night. Not content with applauding, men
and women in the audience rose to their
feet and cheered wildly. It was such a
demonstration as has never before been
accorded a band in this city. Moreover
it was we'll bestowed. for never has
band been heard here to better advantage.
The program announced that the Royal
Italians played "Mifstofele' last night for
the first time. The selection was given
by request, it having been demanded dur
ing the bands engagement at the Lyceum
theater some time ago. At that time Sig
nor Creatore promised to send for the
music and to play the piece during his
next VISIT here, and he kept his word.
Other selections that won the marked
approval of the audience were the evil
liaW Tell'' overture, the Pilgrims Chorus
FROM ''Tannhauser," the ''Luoia" sextette,
part of which, however, was omitted, and
grand selection from ode Walkure" d
The audience was the largest which has
yet heard the band in this city, and 1t left
the theater reluctantly. AS an encore to
the last number OH the program the band
played a medley OF national airs, conclud-
ing with the "Star Spangled Banner"
While this was being played the audience
remained standing.

VOUCHERS FOR NICKELS
Postoffice Inspectors Have to Collect
Their Car Fare.

ToSSOncc AhSpSCNOIS ~ CoAASSN
Their Car Fare.
Some conflict over transportation on the
interurban line has arisen between the
postoffice inspectors and the street rail-
way company. On railways which have
government contract for carrying mail a
postofice inspectors commission is good
for passage. Armed with this document
the Inspector laughs at railroad con-
duotors who demand fare. The contract
with the street railway for carrying mail
on the interurban line, however, does not
include this specification.
In lieu of recognition of his commission
each inspector must put up fare money.
To recover expenditures he must show re-
ceipts. The inspectors state to the general
manager that they did not like to pre-
sent vouchers to the department for such
small amounts as five cents. It is neces-
sary for them to come ito Minneapolis
frequently on the street cars and the
voucher business is an annoyance to them.
The company makes no concessions and
the upshot Of the matter Is that the in
spectors are advised to have receipts pre-
pared beforehand which the conductors
are instructed to sign. Whether the in
spectors hold these vouchers until they
aggregate respectable sum or send them
in daily is of no interest to the street rail-
way. At any rate the commissions will
not be recognized as on the steam rail-
ways.

thousands of citizens claims for rebate.
In a test case precipitated by Governor
J. S. Pillsbury, it was decided that the
city could collect no more than the actual
cost of the work. It naturally followed
that the actual cost could not be known
till the work was done, and as result
the system of advance assessments had
to be abandoned.
The Present Situation.
AS matters now stand every citizen who
paid the special assessments between the
years named is entitled to a rebate equal
to the difference between the actual cost
of the improvement and what ne paid.
This is because the "fat rate" was most
liberal average, and in most instances
was higher than the actual cost OF the
work. II is figured that there is at least
$225, 1000 due tax payers in rebates, and the
city has acknowledged it's obligation to
repay. The sum is too large to be taken
out of the city's income in any one year.
This year the board Of tax levy appropr1-
ated $4,000 to apply on this account and
of application till the fund IS exhausted
Already there are about 5000 claims on
file and it is thought that this years ap-
preparation Is about all taken up. Claims
run from $1.5O to SIS a lot and the money
to pay them will be available July l.
Most of the claims now on file have been
placed through a collection agency. the
work Of the collection agency is perfectly
legitimate, and there is no purpose here
to criticise it's methods, SO far as they
are understood. The existence Of this
obligation to taxpayers, however, and the
liability of the city for excess assessments
is matter which the public should nave
clearly explained Many prefer to give
their claims to the collection agency as
matter of convenience, but every TAX.
payer who has been overtaxed is entitled
to know that it Is feasible and not par
ticularly difficult for him to collect his
own rebate.
