LETTERING THE HOTELS
Work by Commercial Travellers
Shows Results in the Country.

Terance McCosker. grand counselor of
the United Commercial Travellers for the
Jurisdiction of Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, is making a signal success
Of his plan for improving the condition OF
country hotels, according to the CONNER
cial Bulletin.
Mr.. McCosker'S experience has con-
WINGED him that the only plan which will
work Is for travelling men to form a local
organization in each town where tho
travellers headquarters" to any extent,
and tell the hotelkeepers who are slov-
emily that they must keep their places
clean and attractive or lose the business.
I'VE had printed" says Mr. McCosker,
gin circular letter form, a list Of COM
plants continually being registered
against country hotels. When we receive
a complaint which we regard as genuine
against any hotel, we mail the hotel
keeper a circular in which the complaint
against him is marked with an x
This brings a prompt - sometimes
acknowledgements from the hotelkeeper.
Many thank the committee for the sug-
gestiOns; others explain why their service
has been deficient and promise to make
amends as rapidly as possible. Oc-
casionally hotel men have been notified
that their service was worth only half
or IS per cent of what they were charging.
Unless the desired reforms were insisted
upon, members of the order were notified
Of the action taken, after which the of =
Tending landlords heard enough Of them to
change their way Of doing business
f. Mr.. McCosker explains that the ma
jority Of the landlords are inclined to be
reasonable.

NEXT COAL ALL RAIL
Price of Anthracite "To Arrive" AL.
.--n.s ready Fixed at $10a'
Ton
First All-Rail Shipments Are Due to
Reach Minneapolis Next
Tuesday.

Coal at $40 ton is reality in Mime
apolis now. This is not meant to con-
vey the idea that coal is a reality In Min
neapolis, but that the price is. Some firms
are selling at $780, but not all Of them.
The rest ask $40.
This new price Is based on the all-rail
freight rate The coal Is expected from
the mines by all rail Tuesday morning In
Minneapolis. But the price has already
arrived and Is awaiting the coal.
The street railway company is said to
be short of anthracite with which to heat
it's cars Soft coal in the car heaters
would not be the pleasantest thing In the
world, and anyway the burners are not
fitted for soft coal. However, only two
alternative present themselves-one is soft
coal, the other is cold cars.
The only company which has coal left
at the head OF the lakes is getting low in
it's supply, and it is believed that the all
rail shipment will furnish much relief to
those who manage to get any Of it.

COHEN'S ATTORNEYS SUE
Butte Attorneys Secure Judgment
for 500 for Instituting Habeas
Corpus Proceedings.

A side light on the case against Joseph
w. Cohen was given by a suit which came
up in municipal court this morning which,
in connection with Cohen's arrest In Butte
City, Mont. last September. The case
came UP under the title Of Bush & Kremcr
versus Joseph w. Cohen and was an ac-
ton. brought to enforce payment upon a
rrolnisory note for 500 executed Sept. s.
1902. Cohen allowed the case to go by
default and a Judgment was entered
against him for that amount, plus 81
costs. "-t < @L7k-
The note is said to have been executed
at the time of his arrest in Montana and
is made in favor of Bush & Kremer, the
attorneys who instituted the habeas cor
pus proceedings for him, The note is
written upon a Western Union telegraph
blank and was originally drawn for $3.50
but afterwards lowered to $500, and was
made payable upon demand. Payment
was demanded several times and as CO.
hen refused to pay. the action was started.
At the time Cohen was arrested the
story was given out that his friends in
Butte had started the proceedings to Sc
cure his freedom anb that all this trouble
was taken on account of their friendli-
ness to him. The note seems to indicate
that the Montana friends Of Cohen were
not so willing to aid him as his Mime
apolis friends tried to make it appear.

than this author. A.--, - .,;--,
It was while she was at Danyille that
she began to write. She did not attempt
book until 1881, when she wrote her first
novel, "Craque- o'-Doom. It was a story
of the French people as she knew them in
Canada and the Mississippi valley. It was
followed by Rocky Fork" cold Caravan
Days. and 1.-THE Secrets of Roseladies.' y
In 1889 she published her first historical
novel, "RomanceSof Dollard," which, UNI
til the appearance of "Lazarre," was con-
sidered her best work. z..:as. -. / =. ~.
