On request Of the State Historical So

Oliver Gibbs, who represented Minnesota
at the Cotton Centennial, Exposition at
New Orleans in 1875, to look up the
scattered relics of the state exhibit there
and receive them for final deposit with
the Historical society as soon as they can
be provided with room in the new capt.
toll. Some of these relics are Of rare his
toricaI value-such as the old Red River
cart, carioles, robes, whips, harness, ETC.,
in use in former times, and many other
things collected or prepared for perma :
nent value to be kept in the cabinets of
state institutions and societies.
Mr.. Gibbs would be glad to hear from
any one having knowledge of the where

Independent Grain and Stock Ex-
change Confronted by Very
Serious Obstacle.
Western Union Said to Ask $4,000
a Month for Continuous
Quotation Service.


The newly organized Independent Grain
and Stock Exchange of Minneapolis, and
the Open Board of Trade Of Chicago, Will
be operated IN close. connection, II plans
now under consideration are carried
through There will be a private wire
service. and continuous quotations will be
exchanged. The Western Union will
carry the service. e.. '' -@ -, ''F'
There is just a possibility that the deal
may slip up If it should fail to go through,
4 will be because of the rates demanded
by the Western Union. The company be-
ing common carrier, is willing. to make
an arrangement. by which the Open Board
Of Trade Of Chicago and the Independent
Grain and Stock Exchange of Minneapolis
may send out their quotations continu-
ously. just as the Chicago Board Of Trade
and the Minneapolis Chamber Of Com
mcrce do. but is said to have fixed the fig
ure for such service at the round sum Of
$4,000 per month. ..-- t. > - =
The telegraph company. it is said, be-
lieves that there will be little return bust
ness to compensate. as with quotations
sent out by regular exchanges. Neither
the Open Board nor the Independent Ex-
change has much standing among the legi-
innate grain trade. The telegraph COM
pany demands enough to cover fully the
cost of disseminating the figures, and will
take no chances on revenue to be derived
tioill return business or independent telo-
grams.
1t is said that it demands payment Of the
sums semi-annually in advance, that there
may be no possibility of loss through the
sudden stopping of the patronage at any
time. In fact the company will take nc
chances.
The Chicago Open Board would impose
upon the Minneapolis Independent Elk
change part of'the expense, and there is
no amcable understanding as yet as tc
/ just what portion shall be borne by each.

the plan.

pose, to send out quotations if it can ge
them carried. And while I believe the
agreement between the Western Unior
and the Chicago Board of Trade in some
way bears upon the matter of sending ou
quotations other than those Of the regular
| body. | am not sure that it is close enouel
to prevent the Western Union from givins
ITS services to the so-called Open Board

concerned, there will be no effect; abso

" TRIP ON TOLLS|S10Ck is TIED .UPEl
Injunction Preventing Times Co.
From Transferring the Haskell
Palmer Stock Is Granted.
Service of Summons on Messrs. Has
kell and Palmer Is Sustained
= Courts Memorandum.

An injunction was issued by Judge Cray
against The Times Newspaper company
this morning, restraining it temporarily
from canceling or recording transfer OF
the 5000 shares of stock held by! w. e.
Haskell and c.. Nj. Palmer Of New York,
the ownership of which carries with 1t
control of the paper .esz..--.
At the same time Judge Cray handed
down an order denying. the motion Of A. B.
jackson, attorney for Messrs. Haskell and
Palmer, to set aside the service of sum-
mons made upon his clients in New York.
This means that the case will now be
tried on it's merits and that H. V. Jones
will have opportunity to lay before the
court his claims as to the contract which
he says was made with Haskell and Pal
mer for the sale of the stock, in question,
and which was afterwards repudiated by
them on the ground that their local agents
had exceeded their authority.
In a memorandum accompanying. the
temporary INDUCTION Judge Cray says:
THE plaintiff in this action seeks to en-
force the specific performance Of a con-
tract for the sale of 5000 shares of stock
in the Times Newspaper company, a cor
poration created under the laws Of, and
domiciled within this state, which stock he
claims to have purchased from the defend
ants, William f. Haskell and Charles M.
Palmer, on November s, 1902.
The contract for the sale of this stock
is in writing, executed by the plaintiff
himself as purchaser and by the defend
ants Haskell and Palmer as vendors, act
ing by and through S. S. Thorpe and
Thomas PEBBLES, their attorneys in fact.
The showing made before the court
upon the hearing of the motion for tenn

thorlty of said Thorpe and PEBBLES to
make the contract precisely as it appears,

vertising was secured by the regular
staff of the paper without the addition of
a single outside solicitor, in which case
the showing of yesterday is fine trib-
ute to their hustling abilities.
Just what a mark the T. Guldbrandsen
publishing company has set for its con-
temporares is realized when it is known
that they claim for yesterdays issue of
the Tidende that it was the largest Scan
dinavian paper ever published anywhere,
and that it carried more advertising than
has ever been carried in single issue Of
any other Scandinavian paper in the
world.
In few days it will be sixteen years
since the Daily Tidende was established
in this city. 1t was founded by T. Guild
brandsen on Jan. 7, shortly after his re-
moval here from Grand Forks, where he
had been publishing a weekly. This he
continues to publish, having; merged into
| it a number Of Scandinavian publications.
