Strikers Discount Reports, but En-

Broken.

Another flour mill will be added to
the running list sometime to-day,
making twelve out of the seventeen
mills closed by the employees strike of
two weeks ago which have resumed
operations with nonunion crews.
I'VE have two men right in this
office who know positively that
eighteen men. have walked out Of
the mills in the last twenty-fourt
hours" said one of the strike leaders
at headquarters this afternoon.
And we also know" he added,
that the mills are not running very
heavily during the day time and are
practically not grinding at all at
night. The managers are making a
good deal of a bluff. If they are do
ing as much as they claim I'd like
to know how, they are doing it. In
stead of turning out $4,000 barrels
yesterday, as the Washburn-C Crosby
mills claim, 1T is more probable that
the output was between 5000 and
5000 barrels. They are bound to ex-

as they were concerned and that they
considered victory in their hands.

The situation in the mills district
was quiet the ptckets making no at

Monday morning. The usual morn

at Union Temple.

work this morning and that it. is only
a question Of a short time when the
mills will have all the men they car
use and there will be no places lef

Nineteen men came in from Mil

Rev. Judson Smith, D. D., secretary
of the Foreign Missionary society,
addressed the Congregational state
convention in st. Paul last night on

He urged further activity. In spite Of
the setback from the Boxer troubles

the support of the Congregational as

We do not forget that the college was

S. M. Owen of Minneapolis, who at

suit, and that farmers must. learn to

could go farther into state and ma

of Rush City said it was useless to

their time and devote themselves to
the work.

KNIFE USED LITTLE
Council Pruning" Committee: Makes
Few Changes in Tax Levy
Board Appointments.
Aldermen Try to Save Elsewhere to
Provide for All-Night
Lighting.

More than a million dollars were
handed around by the council ."prun-
ing committee to-day. The city's
current expense fund is even larger
than the school fund and is the most
important one in the city administra-
tlon, as 1t cares for the police and the
ire, the health and other departments
close to the welfare and happiness Of
the public. The board OF tax levy
allowed a rate of 5.08 mills for, this
fund, which will yield about $653,S56,
and it is estimated tIVt. the receipts
from liquor licenses. other license fees
and police court fines will bring into
the fund an additional 1s51 90, MAX
ing grand total of $1,168,356.92.
This sum was apportioned to-day.
The pruning" committee after work
ing two hours this morning made only
four changes in the tax levey boards
apportionment.
The aldermen are intensely inter
ested in abolishing the moonlight
schedule of lighting, and are willing
to sacrifice much to do so. Thus far
$4,000 is in sight to be added to the
lighting fund, while the gas inspector
estimates that it will cost $4,000 to
install all night lighting. Several
aldermen expressed the opinion that
the lighting companies, especially the
gas light company, ought to come
u
IF it does not remarked Alderman
c. B. Holmes, 1T is about time for an
other gas arbitration"
Mayor Haynes spoke for the police
force and showed by statistics that al
tho one of. the most important, If not
the most important of municipal de-
partments, it has not been increased or
improved in fourteen years.
= Alderman Dwyer voted against the
increase in the police force and there
were one or two votes against the item
| of $4,000 for the expense of INSTALL
Ing new accounting system for the
city. The treasurer's fund was raised
! by $4,000 on account of an error in
the figures submitted to the board of
! tax levy. The sealer Of weights and
measures was cut $3.50 and voting ma
| chimes were cut out. Then an item of
! $500 for the joint maintenance, with
the county, of the library Of the Hen
nepin County Bar association, in the
courthouse, was included, altho sew
eral aldermen grumbled.
The items not acted upon were the
| lighting appropriation and the coun-
ellis contingent fund.- which were left
! over until afternoon. The latter was
lett at $4,000 by the board of tax levy.
The city fathers were silent about
an appropriation for special election
to act on the new charter which is
soon coming from the charter COM
mission.
It is believed that the report Of the
pruning committee will be adopted
by the council without any change.

WEATHER TOO JUICY A CHURCH ROW SUIT
One Of the Brethren Sued by
Sister for
SANDER.
A Big Delegation Of Members At
tend the Opening Of
the Case.

A large delegation from a thir-,
teenth ward church filled Judge Simp-
sons courtroom this morning. Men.
and women. young and old, the pastor
and members of his flock, all assem-
bled to listen to the evidence in a case
which involved the reputation Of two
members of the congregation. Mrs.
Emma Summers is the plaintiff and
Charles L. Simons, the defendant. The
plaintiff asks for $4,000 damages for
SANDER, it being alleged that Mr..
Simons on numerous occasions cast
reflections upon the moral character
of the plaintiff.
Mrs. Summers, a black-eyed, viva
cious lady, sat at one side of the table
and beside her sat her husband, a
large, dne-looking man, who took oc-
casion to soothe, his helpmate when
she showed agitation over remarks of
counsel Across the trial table sat the
defendant, a. gray-headed man, with
his counsel, Assistant County Attor-
ney William G. Leary. Friends and
others interested were ranged in the
seats outside of the railing and their
partizanship was very evident, the
bailiff having to rap for order several
times In the course of the morning.
The plaintiffs first witness was a
middle-aged lady well known in the
church counsels. She said the de-
PENDANT had come to her and told her
that the plaintiff was of immoral
character and should be expelled from
the church. The witness also testified
to the good character of the plaintiff,
and upon cross-examination admitted
her enmity for the defendant.
Have you never heard of any
trouble in the church prior to the time
you say the defendant visited your
asked Mr.Leary.
"Trouble!' the witness replied
There is always trouble in that
church" And the statement was re-
ceived with audible assent by those ir
attendance.

The Juicy Steak Goes Up as
the Rain Comes
Down.
Poor Beet Is Plenty and Cheap
While Good Beef Is
Is VAS Scarce.

The average citizen is losing, by the
heavy rains thru the country as we'll
as the farmer. Perhaps he does not
realize 1t, but 1t is the rain that makes
the price OF good beefsteak high. The
retailer is paying as high as 8h cents
for fancy beef. Cattle that are fed on
range grass are soft at present and
until there is a hardening in the
weather there will be no hardening In
beef and the shortage in the supply
makes prices high. .si
The range between common and
fancy meat is from 4 cents to 8k, the
widest in years. The real range, how
ever, is from s cents to 8a, as the A.
cent beef is from elderly cows chiefly
fit for rendering into glue, gelatine and
such.
Stall fed stock is practically out OF
the market. No one seems to be feed
ing now and If there is any such
stock the foxy owners seem to be hold
ing for higher prices.
The best beef prices will not &c
down until the conditions which make
the scarcity are removed. That is
when the rains stop.
