The first step in this direction was
taken last night when in answer to the
ultimatum of the two, unions for an
advance in their scale the Aquarium
and Germania restaurants gave a fiat
refusal, and Immediately proceeded to
fill the places of the retiring employees
with girls and colored men and bows.
The others are expected to do likewise
as soon as new crews can be secured.
Employers Hold a Meeting.
In an effort to organize the restaurant
and cafe proprletorS meeting was held
in one of the parlors of the Windsor ho-
tel last evening, but the attendance was
not very heavy, and there was much di-
vision of opinion, the feeling being that if
the employees were antagonized there

follow on the part of the other union, with
whom al! of the restaurants do business
Sixteen Union Restaurants.
According to a list posted UP at labor
headquarters there are, sixteen exclusive

DEALERS HOLD MUCH
RENOVATED BUTTER
Trade Is Inactive Pending the Action of
the Government on OIeo Coll
orlng.


Inspector LANCE, of the agricultural de-
partment, whose particular duties are to
look after the dealers in renovated but
ter, says that a larger amount of that
modern commodity is in the hands of the
dealers in this section than ever before.
Four firms in Minnesota have taken out
the government license to sell renovated
butter, and three other firms have made
application for license.
There has been little doing in the rem
ovated butter line owing to the desire of
the Cea.erSssta await the a,licn; OF thu
government on the proposition to allow
colored cleo to be sold Had the decision
been that the sale of colored cleo was al
lowable without the tax of NO cents per
pound. then the renovated butter would
have beer turned into oleomargarine.
The decision being against the use OF
coloring in oleo, the renovated butter
dealers will now commence the manufac-
ture of the article. The law provides
t!Ict all renovated butter snail be Su5tec-
to a tax of "A of accent per pound, and
shat be sold only whena iaf eled as such.

Cupid engaged in a brief encounter
with the person who issues the mar
riage licenses in the clerk of the
courts Office and won so easily that 1t
was not worth the clerks while to
have started.
Miss Pearl Edgerley, a handsome
country lass, will not be eighteen years
old until next month, but she loved
George w. Cunningham and the day
for the wedding had been determined
upon. The ceremony was to be per-
formed Monday evening at the home
of Albert F. Shirley, friends of the
couple at Gal Montgomery street.
When Mr.. Cunningham applied at
the clerk of the courts office for a Ii
cense the deputy clerk refused to issue
the paper on the ground that the bride
was not eighteen years old and the
consent of her parents would have to
be secured.
Would Not Humor the Clerk.
1.-The clerk made such a fuss about
1t" said Mr.. Cunningham last even
ing, that 1 made up my mind not to
humor him and we went to Mime
apoliS. A telegram from the parents
of Miss Edgerley made the thing all
right and a license was duly issued"
The bridal party returned to the
Shirley residence and the Rev. John G.
Merriam Park, was called upon to per-
form the ceremony. Then it was, dis
covered that the ceremony would have
to be performed in the county in which
the license was issued. This necessi-
tated a trip to Minneapolis and at one
of the hotels in that city the ceremony
occurred. Mr.. and Mrs. Shirley ac-
companied the couple and were wit
nesses to the ceremony
Outcome of a Romance.
The wedding is the outcome of a
pretty little romance which began at
Litchfield, Mimi, two years ago. Miss
Edgerley was attending the high
school in her native town and Mr..
Cunningham was a student at the
business college in the same town..
They met at a social function and from
then on the course of true love ran
smooth.
Mr.. Cunningham finished his course
in the business college last April and
then came to st. Paul, where he Sc
cured position as clerk at the Min
nesOta transfer. Miss Edgerley came
ito visit the Shirley family and the
couple decided to be married.
You can say we were married on
Aug. 25, the day set for the wedding
said the bride as she smiled at her
husband, even if we did have some
trouble in securing the license"

STATE BOARD OF CONTROL RE.
JEcTS ALL THE LOCAL BIDS
RECEIVED
CONTRACT is AWARDED
TO A CHICAGO FIRM
st. Paul Dealers Lose Chance to
Sell $4,000 Tons Of Fuel for Mime
sofa Institutions-Outside compa-
MES Decline to Consider PROPOSE
tions for the Northern District.

The Minnesota state board Of control
gave the coal combine, which makes
prices in this section of the country a
severe jolt when it contracted with a
Chicago firm for 10000 tons of soft
coal.
Some weeks ago the board advertis-
ed for bids for furnishing $4,000 tons
Of bituminous coal and 1000 tons of
anthracite. Over a score of bids were
received from firms in the Twin cities
and Duluth. The most remarkable
thing about the bids were that the
prices were all the same.
This put the members of the board
on their mettle and an investigation
was quietly started, and the result is
that the coal combine was given
Knockout blow.
Awarded to Chicago Firm.
The contract for 10000 tons for the
state institutions south of ST. Paul
was awarded to O'Gara, King & Co.,
of Chicago.
The bids for furnishing coal to the
insane hospitals at Fergus Falls,
Anoka, the reformatory at st. Cloud
and the normal schools at Moorhead,
st. Cloud and Duluth were rejected,
and unless other satisfactory arrange
ments can be made by the board these
institutions will be supplied with coal
purchased on the open market.
AS usual the members of the board of
control refuse to give out the price paid
to the firm which was awarded the
contract, but President Leavitt stated
last evening that there was substan-
t1al saving made over the prices offered
by the Minnesota firms.
There Was Combine" Says Leavitt.
There can be but one view of the
matter said President Leavitt, land
That is that there is, or was, a COM
bine among the firms which submitted
plds TO the board. The fact that the
prices were identical proves that fact
conclusively. There may be a com
pine in Chicago, or the freight rates
north Of ST. Paul may be such that the
Chicago firms find it impossible to do
business there
Whatever the reason is, it is fact
that the firm which secured the con-
tract for the 10000 tons refused to con-
s1der the proposition OF selling us a
pound of coal to come north of Has
tings."
The members of the board feel much
aelated over securing coal at a much
cheaper figure than was offered by the
Minnesota firms, and aside from taking
punch at the coal combine, enjoy the
satisfaction of making considerable
saving on the season supply of COAL
Will Be Bought in Open Market.
The problem of securing coal for the
institutions north of here and for the
state capitol building is one which the
board will take up, now that the bulk
OF the fuel supply has been arranged
for.
1t is thought that perhaps some ar
rangement can be made by which the
remaining 10000 tons can be secured
without paying the price asked by the
combine. If not, then the supply will
be purchased on the open market at
such times as the board may see fit.
f Local coal dealers decline to state
what price was made on fuel in the
bids submitted to the board.

The Democrats Of Winona are in the
a winner even to the most skeptical Re
publ1cans. Senatorial trick Fitzpatrick is
a candidate to succeed himself; Joseph
date in the First representative district,
and John keenan, islands for the house
in the Second district. Senator Fitzpatrick
and Joseph Leicht are known throughout
the state almost as we'll as they are at
home. Both men have been long in public
life and have rendered sprodigous service
both to the state and the Democratic par
over the state, but every man in Winona
and Winona county knows him and ad
mires him as a man of sterling integrity.
Mr.. Keenan, has lived in Winona for many
years and has been a straight-laced Dem
ocrat, following his party through thick
and thin. He was formerly a contractor
and builder, but for several years has
conducted a large livery business.

RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE

Private Freeman, Who Let LampIighting

Retributive justice has, laid a heavy
hand upon Private Freeman, Twenty
first infantry.
Last. Sunday he paraded along, gun
upon shoulder and chest out for the delec-
tation OF the passing fair. Four PAGES in
front OF him trudged a couple of men
wearing the brown canvas coat that is the
insignia OF military disgrace. They were
prisoners lighting or cleaning the lamps
at Fort Smelling.
Sunday evening Freeman let his foot
slip and the prisoners got away. He
fired at them, but his superiors thought
he did not shoot quick enough.
Yesterday Freeman was on parade
again, but he no longer walked with
jau1ty stride and carried rife. He
wore brown canvas coat and carried a
torch. Behind him guard with a/rife.
Private Freeman had fallen a victim to
the stern justice of military discipline,
