ST. PAUL IS FIRST
HAS LARGEST COUNCIL OF L. c. IT.
IN THE UNITED
STATES
MINNEAPOLIS CLAIMS NAILED
Question of Supremacy AuthOrita-
lively Settled at Last-LOcaI COun-
ellis Notwithstanding Record
27O Members in One Year.

ST. Paul has the distinction Of being the
home Of the largest council of the Order
Of United Commercial Travellers Of Amer
lea in the United States.
This distinction was confirmed yester
day by a telegram from Supreme Secre-
tary Daniels, Of Columbus, Ohio TO Sec
rotary j. NJ. Dresser of the local council,
giving him the standing of the four
largest councils in the United States.
The big four are Sanity City council, 72)
members; Minneapolis council, I'll; Cincn-
natl council, 632 and the Columbus, Ohio,
council, 562 members. This was the
standing at the close Of the fiscal year
ending March 81
While being in the lead is a distinc-
ton the local organization is proud Of
the victory is all the greater as it re-
duces to ordinary braggadocio, the claims
of the minneapolis council, which has
been asserting for months past that it
was first The Telegram is authentic and
leaves no room for further doubt.
The race for first place has been be-
tween three cities, st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Cincinnati and the contest has really
been on since the first of the year when
the search for recruits began. Even at
that date St. Paul was ahead, but some
extraordinary activity on the part of the
Minneap polls council infused new enthusi-
asm into local workers, and the result
has in every way been satisfactory.
During March the St. Paul council add
ed ia new members to us list, and this
was slightly increased during April, but
in the standing given, only the number
Of members enrolled at the close of
March was considered. Any taken in
since that time are not included
In December last the local council had
624 members and the Minneapolis coun-
Gil, 541, but the latter despite these fig
ures conteRded that it was ahead, and
with its new additions announced the
fact with great blare of trumpets.
During last year the local council in
itiated 270 members Of which number it
lost eighteen. Only three members died

STATE ON DEFENSIVE
NORTHERN SECURITIES COMPANY
WILL MOVE TO VACATE SERV-
ICE, OF SUMMONS
WILL BE HEARD SATURDAY
If Motion Is Granted the State Will
Have No Further Recourse
Grounds for VacatinS
Motion.

Attorney General Douglas was served
with notice on Friday night that on next
Saturday attorneys for the Northern Sc
cuTities company and James ]. Hill will
appear in the district court of Ramsey
county and move to vacate the service Ct
the summons and complaint in the suit
brought by the state against the Securi-
ties company.
The defendants are represented by
Young & Lightner. The motion to va
cate service will be based upon three
grounds: First, that James ]. Hill is not,
in his official capacity as president of
the Northern Securities company a Min
nesota resident; second, that the Northern
Securities company is a New Jersey COR
poration and has no property In Mime
sofa, and that it is not amenable to the
jurisdiction of the Minnesota courts, and
third, that the company has no agent in
Minnesota to accept service of process for
them. Attorney General Douglas and
George P. Wilson will oppose the motion
on behalf of the state.
The motion brings up the question
whether the state has any recourse at all
against the Northern Securities company
If the court should hold that the New
Jersey corporation cannot be sued in the
state courts, the action will fall in so far
as it relates to the other defendants, for
the Northern Securities company will be
held to be a necessary party to the ac-
ton. The federal court refused to enter
tain the suit because the railroad COM

state court refuses to entertain the case,

Attorney General Douglas yesterday
gave out the following statement:

neys for the Northern Securities COM

dent, we will attempt to secure service

GETTING AWAY FROM HOME
The Spirit of RestIessness and the
Desire For Change.

The Spirit of RcstIessness and the
Desire For Change.
Judging by good deal of the con-
versation of the present day, there are
a large number of people who have a
positive horror of home This curious
revulsioH of feeling is taken by many
persons as a sign of social deteriora-
ton. For our own part we find it diff
cult to take it quite seriously or to see
in il anything more than q passing
whim.
Nobody nowadays likes monotony.
Change is what people desire-not per-
haps any great change, but lots Of
small change; not necessarily for the
better, but for its own sake. Now.
there is a great sameness about ones
own four walls. be they ever so hand
some. We all feel at times an overpow-
ering desire to look at something else
We cannot change the patterns or the
pictures on them every day. and neither
they nor the home furniture ever seems
to alter in expression
Again, there is a terrible sameness
about ones own cook Experience ena-
bles us to foretell the taste Of every
thing at home. from the socp to tire sa-
worry IL we are rich and from the NUT
ton to the cheese if we are poor;
whereas il we dine at a restaurant
everything down to the salt is differ
ent, and the restaurant is refurnished
daily with new faces
Then, again, the music and stir going
on around one avoid the necessity for
much conversation. and conversation
In the home circle is sometimes Diff
cult and sometimes dull. 1t does not do
always just to say what one thinks, 1t
is such bad practice for dining out,
and, this being the case. it is not easy
sometimes to think what to say.
Nowadays we get, socially speaking,
! tired of our friends and even of our ac-
quaintances We want them to pass
continually before us like street pro-
cession. Instead of that they rather
resemble a stage crowd and keep COM
ing up again. There is limit to those
we know. a limit even to those we
should like or should be likely to know
even by sight. and at a restaurant this
latter limit is disregarded. The barrier
of good manners which forbids that
those who are acquainted with one an
other should speak Is sufficient to pro
is not very high fence, and it is one
which it is amusing to look over-Lon-
| don Spectator.

EYADING DOW TAX.
State Inspectors Have Hard Task.
Estimated Income.

The chief stumbling block which i'm
pedes the progress of tax collections
from delinquent liquor dealers in Ohio
Is the fact that many OF the proprietors
OF resorts OF various kinds remain in
business only year or two. The lists
OF those who have secured government
licenses, to sell liquor are easily obtain
able, but, when the State inspector
makes his rounds, he finds, in three
cases out OF four. that the dealer has
gone out OF business.
The work Of Investigation, which has
been done under the direction of the
dairy and food department, is practic-
ally completed, and the task of collect
ing the fees soon will be turned over to
the State Auditor. ). E. Blackburn,
State dairy and food commissioner, es-
timates that there are about 1000 estab-
lishments which heretofore have evaded
paying the Dow tax, and that, II all
can be forced to pay, the States income
from this new source will approximate
81, ,000, 600 per annum.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Surgeon Cen
eral Wood today received q report from
Lieutenant Colonel p. F. Harvey, chief
surgeon Of the Division OF the Philip
pines, giving q detailed account Of the
health OF the troops in those islands
for the month ended June Is, last. The
report shows q considerable increase in
percentage of sick as compared with
that OF last month!
In south Philippines sickness has in
creased in quarters, station hospital
and department hospital, but the report
says the reason for this connot be in
dicated at this time.
Cholera has attacked two officers and
62 American and one native soldier
Most OF these cases occurred in La
Cuanas and Batangas. The cause in the
majority of instances has been the
drinking of infected water, and few
cases were due TO food, contaminated
either by handling or by flies.
Outside of Manila total OF 1861 cases
have been reported, with 1920 deaths.
In the city there have been 1850 cases,
with HOO deaths.
