SHAW WON'T TALK
ABOUT THE BANKS
But Another Treasury Official Dis
cusses Retirement of Circulation.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. II. -
Secretary Shaw arrived in Washing
ton today He declined to discuss the
question Of the present rush of banks
10 retire their circulation in order to
take the profit on United States bonds
now deposited with the treasury or to
say whether he would take any action
IN regard to it. 1t was said however.
by high treasury official that the
secretary could not stop the retirement
or circulation by Withdrawing govern
ment deposits from national banks an
plying for such retirement. because the
present movement was not confined to
government repositories alone, banks
having no government deposits being
among those seeking. to retire circula-
ton.
1t was thought by the same official
That, should the secretary take the ac-
tlon suggested to prevent government
repositories to retire circulation. banks
not carrying government deposits
would seek to take profit by retiring
circulation. The applications to retire
circulation cover 1880. These applica-
lions cover the entire amount which
may be legally retired in September,
october and over half of November.
The treasury official said that the pres
ent situation was a complete answer
to those who have argued that the re-
moval of the limit of 100000 circu-
lation which may be retired each
month would provide a more elastic
currency

FINDS CAR No. ?.
Travelling Man Delighted to Find the
Great Northern's First Freight Car.

Special to The Globe.
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Sept. 12-
There it is. There it is. Well, I'll
be There's a car I've been
looking for for twenty years." excited
ly exclaimed Herman Hauff, a travel
ing man, whose home is in st. Cloud.
The exclamation came from the
travelling man as he stood awaiting the
arrival of Great Northern train at
the passenger station, and a glance
in the direction in which he was so
intently looking revealed nothing more
Notwithstanding than a line of box
cars standing on a siding near the
depot.
1t was the first car in the line that
was attracting his attention and his
interest was infectious. An inquiry re-
vealed the cause of the excitement
The first car in the string bore the
simple numeral So"
Il have been on the lookout for that
car ever since 1 can remember" said
Mr.. Hauff in explanation. Twenty
years ago l was employed in placing
switch lights in the yard at st. Cloud
and 1 conceived the idea of finding
car No. 2. 1t is perhaps necessary to
explain that the box cars are all even
numbered and the fiat and coal cars
bear odd numbers. No. is therefore
the first box car in the service of the
Great Northern. Night after night as
l placed the switch lights in their
position in the yards 1 looked for car
No. 2. Needless TO say 1 never found
it, and the closest / ever came to the
original one was one night when 1 en-
countered car No. 6. But the old ad-
age that everything come to him who
waits has proved true in my case and
there is the original first box car in
the service of the Great Northern
A closer inspection of the old car
revealed it to be of much smaller type
than the ones now in general use. No
z Is but 20 feet in length, weighs 81
600 pounds and has a capacity of but
$4,000 pounds. There is nothing on
the car to indicate where or by whom
it was built, but 1t was in the St,
Cloud shops in 1898 and in the ST.
Paul shops in 1902. Of course. it
has practically been rebuilt a
half dozen times. The sides show
numberless indentations where it has
bumped about, and about the ladder
on the sides of the car and near it's
ends the impression of countless feet
climbing its ladders have worn deeply
into the lumber which forms the sides
of the car. In the old days when
brakes were necessarily set by hand
and before the air brake, the brake
men were compelled to control their
trains by means of the hand brake,
and this accounts-aside from the age
of the car-for the worn and battered
condition about the ladders.
The car of late has been used in
transporting wheat, and from the dirt
which has crept into every crevice
about it sprouts vernal green.

ing the wives of the faculty members

diately for New York, deciding that the
money was worth more to him than

OPPOSE PROCEEDINGS
TO CONDEMN LAND
Mrs. Wagner and Son Ask cour to
Dismiss Petition of Omaha.

Mrs. SuSand WAGNER, her son, John
Wagner and others interested in the
Wagner estate, have appealed to the
district court to estop the Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha road
from acquiring possession of land on
the West Side through which the road
wishes to construct a track.
The land is located on the West
Side, near the end of the Wabasha
street bridge, being bounded on the
south by Water street and on the
north by the Mississippi river.
Some time ago the railroad company
applied to the district court for the
appointment of commissioners to APP
jraise the Wagner land, which they
desire to secure by means of con-
demnation. In the answer to the ap-
land yesterday, it was charged that
the Omaha had never made an offer
of any kind for the land.
1t is asserted that the land. as
now located, is in one large tract,
suitable for use for manufacturing
purposes by some concern which
would require large tract of land.
and for this reasons the owners be-
lieve the land to be valuable.
1t is the intention of the Omaha
to build a track on a curve through
the property. which would cut it into
two tracts, leaving the one on the
north of the track inaccessible from
the outside. This, it Is held, would
destroy the value of the land for
manufacturing purposes and would
cause it to greatly decrease in value.
The court is asked to dismiss the
petition of the Omaha, which, if
granted. would seriously affect the
owners of the property in a financial
way The matter will be heard nv the
court at special session next Satur-

CITY NEWS
TO STUMP OHIO
j. Adam VIII Make Buckeyes
Laugh for Hanna.

Sclntillating wit from Minnesota is
expected to play a prominent part in
saving Ohio to Marcus Hanna and the
G. o. P.
Congressman ]. Adam Bede, of the
Eighth district, was in st. Paul last
night on his way to Washington. After
months work in the departments, Mr.
Bede will, at the special invitation of
! Senator Hanna, take the stump in Ohio
and remain until the close of the cam
paign, which will tell the story of Han
mas domination of Ohio and national
politics of the Republican variety.
Mr.. Bede says that with the close of
the county fair season the need for
statesmen in Minnesota is temporarily
at an end, and in the month elapsing
before he goes to Ohio, he expects to
clean up a lot of practical work for his
district, beside getting ready to take up
the winters work with the assembling
of congress in extraordinary session
Nov. 9.
Mr.. Bede's secretary, Stillman H.
Bingham, late political writer of the
Deluth Herald, will join the congress
man in Washington in about two
weeks, and the Eighth district head
quarters will be opened for business, to
remain open until congress adjourns
next spring.

Some Figures to Ponder Over.
OF course the mathematical genius
broke out yesterday, and after looking
at the figures, the ordinary citizen is
left wondering how st. Paul is on the
map at all.

ly five inches all over the city-the Off
cial figures being a little larger than
that-and that there are ffty-five

63S, 100000 cubic feet of water fell on
the city during the storm -
That does not mean anything to the
ordinary reader, but the NJ. G. helps out.
by telling that it amounts to 4,848,S00.-
900 gallons, which is a little better. The
weight of this small ocean is only 1867
666, 400 tons. But these figures do not.
mean much to the man who felt the
little portion of this weight which fell
on his particular umbrella
Yesterday, little after noon, the
rain fell for a few moments as fiercely
as the night before, simply to show
that all of the water was not yet gone,
and that business could be resumed if
necessary.
