CHECKS 60 UNPAID
A Well known Contractor Has Gone
to Canada.
A QUESTION AS TO HIS RETURN
Checks Representing About $1,000
Drawn Upon Il Bank Which
Reports ''NO Funds"

Several Minneapolis firms hold checks
drawn by ]. j. Dissette, the contractor,
on banking institution which reports
mo funds At Mr.. Dissette's Office it is
announced that he left the city Sunday
afternoon for Canada, where he has rela-
tives. Tenants in the same building have
always considered Dissette as reliable
man Of good habits and enjoying a good
business. They believe that he may have
gone to Canada to secure funds and that
he may return to meet his accounts. The
holders of his checks are not inclined to
take SO hopeful a view of the situation.
Considerable feeling has been stirred up
over the matter.
Dissette has carried on business in the
city for twenty-five years, and took sew
eral large contracts this year. His bank
ing business has been carried on with
the Minnesota Loan & Trust company in
a satisfactory manner until some six
weeks ago, when their business relations
were discontinued. Overdrafts had been
made on several occasions, but were met
later.
Last Saturday, Dissette drew checks
amounting to over $1,000, it is said, to
pay bills for material and labor upon his
contracts, for which he took receipts. A
Southeast Minneapolis man for whom he
| was building house was drawn upon for
$500, and being shown the receipts, paid
! the amount.
| Several business houses cashed these
| checks, which were promptly refused upon
| presentation at the bank

NO. EIGHT IS CHOSEN
George W. Tibbitts Joins the Gale
hugh Jury With Reluctance.
ANOTHER vEN1RE MAY BENEEDED
The Prisoners Wife Absent From
Court, but Will Appear
as Witness.

George w. Tibbitts did not want to
serve as a juror in the Gallehugh murder
trial and not only showed it plainly, but
admitted it, for he was too honest to re-
sort to the old dodge of pretending that he
had formed decided opinion which would
require strong evidence to remove.
He frankly told County Attorney Board
man that he dreaded to sit on the jury
but he was too good "a man to lose and
was accepted as the eighth juror. Mr.
Tibbitts sighed heavily and looked down
cast when he realized that he was doomed
to serve.
The work of selecting jurors is being
vigorously pushed. Yesterday afternoon
a third special venire of fifty names was
ordered, and the sheriff's staff was KEPT
travelling half the night serving the sum
mons. If 200 names yield only eight jurors
however, it will be necessary to draw al
least one more lot Of fifty.
Mrs. Gallehugh has not been in court
for two days. Doubtless she will be or
hand when the trial begins, as it is un.
derstood she will be one Of the principal
witnesses for the defense.

LEWIS AND CLARK EXPO
e. w. ROWE TELLS OF THE PLANS
Mr.. Rowe Is Here to Assist
the Elks In Their
Carnival.

E. w. Rowe. secretary of the Portland,
Ore, lodge of Elks, and member of the
board of trade and chamber of commerce
of that city, is in Minneapolis in the in
tercsts of the big worlds fair which the
enterprising coast town is planning for
1908, the centennial celebration of the
Lewis and Clark expedition. While it is
a little early to enlist the interest of
Minnesota in the Portland fair Mr.. Rowe
says that this state, known the country
over the gateway to the great Pacific
northwest, is relied upon to contribute
it's share to the success of the exposition.
The fair will be technically known as a
Lewis and Clark Centennial and American
Pacific exposition. With characteristic
push the business men of Portland sub
scribed $35O,OOO within four days. The
capital stock of the show is $500, 900.
OF the amount subscribed, H. w. Cor
bett, of the First National bank former
United States senator and president of the
fair association, subscribed $50, 00O Laid
& Tilton's bank gave $4,000 The legis-
lature Of Washington and congress will be
asked for appropriations at the next SEES
sions.
The distinctive feature of the exposition
will be the attention to be given to Orien-
tai trade interests The civic league of
Portland has decided to add to the citys
attractiveness during the six months OF
the fair by making it literally a "Rose
City" Seeds and plants are already be-
ing distributed. The transcontinental
roads have promised generous rate reduc-
tions.
Mr.. Rowe, who was in charge, of the
Portland Elks' carnival in 1900, will as
sist the Minneapolis lodge in it's June

T0NKA CLUBS MAY MERGE
DIRECTORS FAVOR 1.-THE PLAN
The NJ. Y. C. and the Ice Yacht Club
Are the Organizations
sif,- Affected. FIX

A merger of the Minnetonka Yacht club
and the Minnetonka Ice Yacht club will
be recommended to the members of the
respective organizations by the joint di-
rectors. The name proposed for the COM
bined club is the Minnetonka club, a title
which is sufficiently specific and at the
same time broad enough to include all
the various sports now fostered by the
two bodies. A joint meeting of the di-
rectors was held this week at which the
matter was canvassed and the decision
made to submit the consolidation to the
memberships. Messrs. Peet, Swift, Bur-
ton and Pillsbury were named as a joint
committee to prepare detailed plan.
Such union as is proposed would re-
suit in probably the strongest recrea-
tion club west of Chicago. The M. Y. G.
is devoted to yachting and has proud
record of types developed and regattas
won The Ice Yacht club has good fleet
for summer or winter and in addition is
strong on golf and has in recent seasons
stood sponsor for the Northwestern Ten
mis- tournament. The consolidated club
would be an all-the-year-round institu-
ton and qualified to take the lead socially
and in all forms of outdoor sport to be
enjoyed at the lake. The situation of the
two c,ubhouses in Bay st. Louis is most
favorable to the combination plan.

ORIGINAL HANNA MAN
PERRY HEATH OF SALT LAKE CITY
Tells How He Came to Name Hanna
in minneapolis Yes
terday.

Perry Heath formerly first assistant
postmaster general, now secretary of the
republican national committee, spent yes
terday in Minneapolis on his way east
from Salt Lake City, Utah, where he is
editor of the Tribune. Mr.. Heath is the
original Mark Hanna man. In London he
met an old newspaper friend and in dis
cussing American politics he said he
favored Mckinley for. a third term, but
that if Mckinley declined to be re-
nominated, he thought Mark Hanna was
the logical candidate. The correspond
ent promptly cabled the interview to the
New York Herald. When Mr.. Heath re-
turned he told the president he was sor-
ry he had caused so much commotion, but
assured him he spoke from the heart.
Mckinley replied that he was glad Han
mas name had been proposed, as he was
opposed to third term.
Mr.. Heath still believes that Hanna is
the man for president, but knows positive
ly that he would not accept the nomina-
ton. Hanna's great ambition now is to be
an adjudcator of the differences between
capital and labor Such being the case,
Mr.. Heath favors Roosevelt. He opposes
the proposed reduction Of the tariff on
Cuban sugar. A differential tariff, he
says, is the only remedy.

A BUBBLE CENTURY
How Clarence Saulpaugh Broke In
His New Automobile.
STARTED ON A RUN TO MANKATo
At Last Accounts He Had Left a
Streak of CONSERVATION
Through Chaslxa.

Clarence Spauldipg, erstwhile Mime
apolis' baseball magnate, hit the high
spots between here and Mankato this
morning. He also hit the low spots and
all intermediate points that he could get
safely over without jump.
Mr.. Saulpaugh bought himself large,
elegant automobile in Minneapolis yester-
day and as the easiest way of getting the
carriage back to home plate, he decided
to ride it. With the Fournier Paris
Berlin record run fresh in mind, Mr..
Saulpaugh's first move after depositing q
large wad of long green with the carriage
repository, was to repair to department
store and purchase a roomy pair of green
blinds and a "dinky" cap with visor
like that affected by the German railway
guards.
The start was made at 8 o'clock this
morning from Barnaby's store at Fourth
and Nicollet, in the face of a bowling
dust storm. Shortly before that hour
Mr.. Saulpaugh led his bubble" up the
street, not daring to trust himself in 1t
alone, and cleared the decks for action
A few moments later he was joined by
the operator kindly provided by the au-
tomobile company, and for two few brief
feeting seconds they posed in their
chariot, which brightly reflected the rays
of the morning sun just peering over the
| edge of the opposite street facade.
| Two score pedestrians who recognized
Mr. Saulpaugh's rotund visage, crowded
| close about the vehicle and gave three
rousing cheers for the charioteer. Then
| Clarence gave the signal and they were
| off in a bunch.
| The baseball man held the helm w
Nicollet to Seventh street and gave the
| curb such close rub on the turn that
| his operator grasped the rod himself anc
requested his companion to take the bacl
seat.
/ From then on the route lay along
Seventh street to Seventh avenue S, tt
Tenth street, to Park avenue, to Lax
| street, to Lyndale avenue.
Once outside the city limits they hit VI
a lively clip for Bloomington Ferry
which was reached about 9 o'clock, ant
across the Minnesota river they rushed
on like mad for Shakopee. The last poin
heard from was Chaska.
| The message read:
! People here have had bad scare. Black Oh
ject enveloped in whirl of dust just cleared
town like small cyclone. Three dogs killed
six runaways and many narrow escapes. PEG
pie at loss to account for phenomem. Nor
details later.
The occasion for this blind haste wa
that Mr.. Saulpaugh had made a bet jus
/ before his departure that he would max
the 100 miles to Mankato in six hours
He should have been in Mankato at
o'clock this afternoon. If he accomplish
the feat he will be in line to challeng
| Fourier.
His friends are anxiously awaiting tn
list of casualties.

ABERDEEN not DRY
South Dakotans From That Section
Report Plenty Moisture.
SEED IS BEING HUSTLED IN
Well known Men From Aberdeen
Say the Outlook Is Most
Encouraging.

Visitors from South Dakota say the gen.
eral statement Of morning Minneapolis
paper that Farmers need more rain and
that unless abundant rains soon fall,
it will be necessary to substitute coarse
grains on lands heretofore sown in wheat

to the northern part OF the sunshine
state"
Mayor j. E. Adams of Aberdeen and
NJ. H. Kelly, receiver Of the Aberdeen
land district, are in Minneapolis and de-
clare that conditions have never been
better for starting the crop. Too much
moisture not a lack OF it, delayed gen
eral seeding until this week. For five
days now the work has been pushed to the
limit and is so we'll advanced that an
other week will see it we'll out of the
way.
Northern South Dakota has an abundance
of moisture. There were good rains last fal
and frequent snow storms in the late winter
and early spring. Rain fell in the Aberdeen
country last week, and altogether we. had toe
much of a good thing at a time when farm
ers wanted to get into their fields. Below
the furrow the frost is still in the ground
and the mud has not yet dried. Wheat i:
being sown under the best possible condi
lions, so far as early termination is con
cerned The conditions ruling around Alder
Lea, Mimi, and in other sections have hat
no counterpart with JUS. We have moisture
and to spare. Mr.. Kelly said:
Aberdeen is gaining in new distributing ter
rtory all the time. The extensions of thu
Milwaukee to the west are helping the towl
and its supremacy in the northern part Of tn
state cannot be questioned. This is an Aber
deem year and the town is growing wonder
fully. Every house is occupied and ever!
available business and office room is crowded
and there is demand that cannot be supplied
until new buildings are erected. The ar
rivals at the four principal hotels run from
$50 to $50 people daily. Many of these ar

He Won't Grant >Peddlers Licenses
on Installment Plan.

on Installment Plan.
Controller Rogers made it plain to-day
that there would be no short term ped
dlers' licenses issued from his office. He
turned down no less than a dozen appli-
cants who, frightened by the decision of
the municipal court declaring the lille
gality Of the mayors special permit sys-
tenn, applied at his Office for thirty-day
licenses Every man had his SIS with him,
but Controller Rogers emphatirally re-
fused to consent to the plan. He will
take nothing less than $25, the full
license fee for one year, he says.
The revenues from this source have
fallen off considerably in the last two
years, he says, and in his opinion the
special permit system is the cause of it.
Mr.. Rogers believes it is manifestly i'm
possible to prevent men from abusing the
privileges given them under the system.
