C0E CO.'S 5. ANSWER rs
To Complaint Of the Chicago Board
B.. a. of Trade. <u.-.
RIGHTS TO CHANGE QUOTATIONS
Company Says Board Has No Ex-
elusive COntrOI-Other Lines
of Defense. ..a ssEs e..

Answer in the case OF the Board Of
Trade of Chicago against the Coe Com mis-
sion company of this city; an alleged
"bucket shop" concern, and others, has
been filed with the clerk, of. the federal
court. iii =: .,z:. t''-,~
The defendants deny that the selling or
disposng of quotations made in the usual
course of business upon change has ever
been a part of the business of any Board
of Trade or Chamber of Commerce orthat
the Chicago board is empowered by char
ter to have special or exclusive rights to
quotations offered upon the floor. - 1t Is
alleged that these are public: property and
that the greatest publicity is and always
has been given such quotations. The de-
PENDANTS expressly deny that the, COM
plainant has the charter ,rightto suppress
quotations publicly made, or to deny any
person the right of'using such public quo
tations as he. may see flt. ~ -.
The Commission company, although still
denying the right of the Chicago board
to sell these quotations, states that 1T
has offered to pay the complainant and the
Western Union company for the service
and has been refused. ~
The answer contains the defendant s
definition of the term bucket shop"
desire to secure to it's membrs a monop-
yly Of the business of placing and accept
| ing wagers as to the future value of com
modities dealt in is the alleged reason
| for the activity of the complainant In
seeking to suppress competitors desig-
mated as bucket shop keepers
It is further alleged that the business
of the Coe company is absolutely identtca
with the majority of the transactions OF
the floor of the Chicago Board Of Trade. i
is stated furthermore that '85 per cent O.
| these exchange transactions are for future
delivery and that SO per cent of all sale
transactions in futures are mere wagers
A particular defense is the denial of thu
Coe company that it acquires It's partta
quotations through theft or IN a surrep
titious manner. r.

concerning the late William J: Florence,
whose fondness for speech making in the

could resist the appeal Of the audience
that he say something, either between acts

through New England, they appeared one
evening in a Connecticut town that gave
them large and very friendly audience.
The performance was received with favor
from beginning to end; and, as both both stars a1s,
bowed their good nights, there came cry
of "speechI Speech" jefferson retreated,
but Florence stepped forward and began:

HUMANE SOCIETY BUSY
Work for July Overtaxed officials
of the Society.

The Humane society agents were very
busy in July. The increase in cases re-
quiring attention has nearly swamped the
office. OF the 14O cases investigated 100
involved the welfare of children. Twelve
children were placed in the temporary
homel, ten were sent to the Owatonna
state school and fifteen taken for a sum-
mer in the country on transportation
furnished by the Outing association.
Five young women who were found on
the streets late at night were repri-
manded and sent home. Two men were
convicted Of non-support and cruelty
toward their families. One man paid a
fine of SIS for killing a dog in a cruel
manner. Seventy five animals were looked
after, of which number fifteen were put
to death.

Committees MUST HUSTLE
To Get Lists of Election Judges Into
City Clerks Hands.

City Clerk Lydiard started a panic IN
the republican" and democratic county
committees to-day. He notified George
l.. Matchen, chairman of the republican
committee, and Elijah Barton, chairman
Of the democratic committee, that lists
of election Judges must be in his hands
in time for the council meeting next
Friday night. ..
This means lively hustle on the part
of ward and county committees. The law
requires judges to be selected twenty five
days before the primaries, and the sec
ond council meeting of the month will be
too late. Precinct committeeman will
meet in the different wards early next
week and select judges, reporting them
to the county committees.

MANAGERS NOT WORRIED
Local Heads for Packing Houses Not
Anxious About Changes.

Managers of local branches of the big
meat companies are not worrying about
their positions. They admit that they
know nothing more about the plans of the
head men than does the general public.
The expectation of remaining as man
ayers seems to hinge on the feeling that
city of this size will require at least
five branches to handle the business. At
present there are eight in Minneapolis.
In combinations it has been customary
to reduce expenses by handling the busi
ness of supplying the wants Of the public
from under one roof.
1t is fairly good indication that, al
though the branch men say they know
nothing as to the future, they are pos
sessed of feeling that they will not be
forced out into the cold by changes.

Where the Profit Is Usually.

Farmers should get both quantity
and quality, if possible, but, in these
days, to steadily succeed quality GER
tainly must be Forthcoming. At pres
ent the quantity, the mere bulk, sell
dom determines the profit.
All butchers know the difference be-
tween coarse and fine steer. 1.-The
ram that shears thirty pounds OF wool
so full of grease and dirt thatit brings
but 20 cents per pound yields no more
money and less profit than one that
produces twenty pounds Of wool which
sells at 80 cents per pound; and then
the latter is usually the better animal
to breed from," being more certain
than the other to get lambs of the su-
perior type.
In the case of each of the products
of the farm, this law will be found
operating as here indicated. And it is
not enough, under existing conditions.
for the farmer to produce, in first
class form, what he is caring for. He
must, to win, have the nest kind or
kinds. The man with the scrub can
not, in other words, compete with the
man who has good stock.-Home and

tended to call public meeting for
the purpose of informing citizens Of
what has been done. But 40 many
things have intervened that it does not
appear advisable to do so until after
the school commencements are over.
Meanwhile there are urgent demands
upon the association for help to those
who have been dependent largely upon
us during the past year, and who will
suffer should our benefactions cease
even for month. We have therefore
requested the ladies' of the ward COM
mittees to canvass the membership for
renewals of subscription, and hope
that many new names will be added to
the roll of those of,our fellow citizens
who will aid US in the humane work
we are doing. We trust that no one
who can help even to small extent
