Injunction Restraining Him From Cut.
ting in Aitkin County Dissolved.

James McGrath, a prominent Saltwater
logger, has secured dissolution OF an
injunction restraining him from cutting
timber on lands belonging to Gustav
Luedke and Herman Buchholz in Aitkin
county. The plaintiff recently secured an
injunction preventing him from cutting
or banking timber on their lands, the in
junction also including the Isle Harbor
Land company, from which concern the
plaintiffs had purchased the land. Mr..
McGrath had a timber permit from the
st. Paul & Duluth Railroad company.
which was not on record. 1t permitted
him to cut timber on the lands until May
1, 1903 The railroad company sold the
land to the Isle Harbor company and in
the transfer made to the plaintiffs a
mistake was made covering the timber
permit, which was made to expire in
May, 1902. Mr. McGrath's attorneys have
secured an order from Judge w S. Nc
Clenehan, of the Fifteenth judicial dis
tr1ct. dissolving the injunction, and the
action will be heard in the district court

covered the entire surplus producing
winter wheat belt. putting that plant
temporarily at least beyond danger
from seasonable changes. 9th
er developments of the week have been
mostly favorable.
The price situation indeed, taken as
a whole, is a remarkable one. Country
produce, particularly butter and eggs,
has displayed exceptional strength,
while the great majority of staples re-
tain all their old steadiness except
where further advances are noted, as
in the case of cotton goods. which are
very strong at the highest price in
years. Collections are rather better as
q whole, ranging from fair to good the
country over. Industry is active, limit
ed only by transportation facilities.
Reports from the shoe and leather
trade are rather irregular. Leather Is
reported quiet, except at the West,
where considerable sales at full prices
are reported by tanners. The sugar
market has been unsettled, but the net
change on the week has been a slight
advance on refined, despite stories that
jobbers are cutting prices. Coffee re-
mains steady at close to the lowest
price on record. Consumption still
leads production in the cruder forms of
iron and steel. Finished materials are
in active demand, but general COM
plant is that four to six weeks is used
up in making. deliveries instead Of five
to ten days, the usual period in normal
times. Increased inquiry is reported by
Southern furnace interests, and quick
~ available iron finds a ready market,
but the scarcity of this article limits
business. Foreign holders of iron and
steel are rather hrIner in their views.
In finished products plates, bars and
structural material and pipe there is
not exceptional activity.
Wheat, including floor exports for
the week ending Feb. 10, aggregate
2,713,752 bushels, against 2,856,439 last

and 3,424,302 in 1901. Wheat exports

are 28,37O,663 bushels, against 22,806,-
326 last season and 1877, 594,884 in 1901.
Cotton reached and passed 10 cents
this week, heavy speculative buying
being reported in New York, New Or
leans and Liverpool. While this may
have been largely manipulation, addi-
tiona1 strength was given by the re-
duced movement Of the crop, claimed to
be due to bad weather. Over and be-
yond all, however, was the strength i'm
parted by the active demand for finish
ed products reported, 1t being a sellers
market for nearly all classes Of cotton
goods. The advance in the price of cot
ton yarns Is reported to have discour-
aged business, but manufacturers Of.

INHUMAN FATHER
CAN'T HAVE CHILD
Frederick Adams Refused
Custody of His Six Year
Old Girl.

Rufus A. Hoyt, agent of the State
humane society, went to South ST.
raul yesterday for the purpose of
prosecuting case of cruel and Inhu-
man treatment against Frederick
Adams, who is charged by the society
with beating his six-year- daugh-
ter, Gertrude, in a terrible manner.
Adams lives on the Dodd road. a
short distance out of West ST. Paul,
IN Dakota county. On account of what
County Attorney Patrick H. O'Keefe.
OF Dakota county, said was an error in
the complaint filed against Adams, Jus
tice Of the Peace c. c. Doss, of South
st. Paul, dismissed the case before any
evidence had been introduced.
The story Of Adams treatment of his
child and the fact that the matter was
70 be investigated by the humane So
ciety was printed in r Globe sew
eral days ago.
The child had run away from her
rather to to the home of It's uncle,
Gotlfeb Paulzer, who lives on the Dodd
road, near Adams, and Mrs. Paulzer.
nndlng the little girl to be suffering
from serious bruises, brought her to
DR.. Wirth, Of this city, for treatment.
L <
as saying 1t was one of the most de-
plorable cases which had ever been
called to his attention.
Last Monday, Adams having read
the statement of DR.. Wirth, came to
town and met the doctor on the STAIR
way in the Germania Life building, He
commenced to abuse DR.. Wirth and
was knocked down several times. be-
n o. -
doctor had finished with him. Upon
MS promise to return home, Adams
was released by the police.
His child was still in the possession
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Paulzer, and when
they refused to allow the father to
take her back home. Adams had them
arrested on charge of kidnapping.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Paulzer were taken
to South st. Paul and given a prSlim-
mary hearing on the kidnaping charge,
but were discharged by Justice Doss,
who allowed them to retain possession
Of the child.
AT the conclusion Of the hearing in
the Adams case yesterday, Adams
wanted to have the child returned to
him, but Justice Doss ordered that the
little one be left in the care of her
aunt.
Mr.. Hoyt, who has thoroughly in
Vestigated the case, was very much
disappointed that the case was dis
missed yesterday without the intro
duction Of testimony. and may take
some further steps In the matter.
Mr.. Hoyt was in consultation with
Attorney General Douglas yesterday
evening regarding the law point upon
which the case was dismissed, and was
assured that there was no ground for
dismissal
Adams is the father of large fam
lily of children and is now living with
his sixth wife.

SIX Tons of Matter Daily.

Saves Two Mems Salaries and Handles
Six Tons of Matter Daily.
Uncle Sam hasn't given Chicago a pneu-
matte mail tube service yet, but he recog-
nizes one that has been built and. is now
in operation out In Elgin.
The world would have to be looked over
to find another sucn contrivance made use
OF in dispatching mail with certainty,
celebrity and security but this one saves
the Elgin postoff1ce the salaries Of two
men the year around and the handling
Of an average of six tons of mail day.
One Of the publishing concerns of Elgin
has built its plant on an eminence over
looking the Fox river, the track Of the
Chicago & North Western road skirting
the bluff below, and in front Of the build
ings of the publisher there has been built
a side track on which mail car is set
every week day. Leading from the top
Of the nil to platform that stands be-
side the track is a monster wooden tube
forty feet long and five feet square Into
the capactous NAV of this tube small
packages are not thrown, but q big sack
the largest that Uncle Sam uses in his
business, and filled until it bulges out to
huge proportions, is siung from q. wagon
The slide that the bag takes down the
tube isn't to be compared with any to-
boggan movement in this country. Putting
the bag inside the tube is about stimuli
taneous with a heavy thud at the down
end Of the machine where the sack alights
on the creased bottom of the platform and
scoOts clear inside the car
When the train comes along in the even
ing the car is picked up, hauled to Chi
cagO, and is there delivered to the United
States railway mail service transfer clerk
at the northwestern station, who dis
Tributes ting mail to the different railway
postoffices leaving from every other depot
in the city.
An additional tube is used on rush DAVIS.
This is built on top Of the HILL from the
door of the mailing room to a coal side
track on which fuel Is switched to the
plant This one is about eighteen feet
long, and the mail is tubed from the mail
room right into the car, which has been
set on the coal track for the purpose. On
some days twenty tons Of mail are shot
through these tubes. The mail save the
second class stuff, is all prepared at the
publishing house, where a postal clerk
'up" on distribution and supplied with
schemes by the postoffice department, dis
tributes the matter to all points In this
and other countries. The stamps are can
celed in the sheet before they are put on
the packages, the publishing concern hav-
ing invented a machine for the purpose.
Another publishing house in Elgin has it's
plant built along the North Western de-
pot on the West side, and the mail is
wheeled from the mail room over an ele-
waited platform direct to the mail car.
Elg1n does a heavy publishing business
that swells the gross receipts of the post
office. The reports of 1900 give the gross
receipts of the Elgin postoffice as SIG, 900.

COUNTY BOARD WILL
SUE BANK BONDSMEN
Suit to Recover $4,416 From Defunct
Institution to Be Instituted.

1t Is probable that suit will soon be
brought against the bondsmen of the
defunct Bank Of North st. Paul, which
went to the wall almost six years ago,
leaving the county loser by $4,416. This
amount has never been paid and has
been carried along from year to year
On the books Of the county treasurer
At the last meeting Of the county COM
m1ssiOners, Treasurer Metzdorf re-
quested the board to take some action
regarding the matter, and advised that
either suit be brought or the amount
taken off the books.
The matter was referred to the ways
and means committee, and at a meet
ing of the committee yesterday, which
was attended by Treasurer Metzdorf
and County Attorney Kane, 1T was de-
cfded to recommend to the board that
suit be brought against the bondsmen
AS the time limit in which suit can be
brought, six years, expires next July, 1t
is the intention to have the suit COM
menced at once.
In the matter Of the Minnesota Saw
tngs bank, which contained $4,000 of
the county funds at the time of its fail
ure, it has been decided that the bonds
men are not liable, and resolution will
be introduced at the next meeting of
the board authorizing the treasurer to
take the amount off the books, where it
is now carried as an asset.

STONES OF VENICE.
Serious Efforts to Be Made for Their
Maintenance.

The communal council of Venice has
now decided to subscribe $4,000 to-
wards the retoration Of the historic
buildings of their city, together with
$4,000 for repairing the campanile Of
Santo Stefano, in addition to the &20,-
900 already voted for rebuilding the
campanile of st. Mark.
All this will be added to the fund
supplied by the government, and the
councils decision is generally greeted
with great satisfaction.
Another excellent decision Is that
the contents of the Marcian library
shall be transferred to Zecca, or the
old Mint. This has been the subject
of great agitation, as the books were
immensely overcrowded in the Marcian
library where there is also great de-
ficicncy of public reading rooms.
There is now on foot a project for
obtaining 100000 from the govern
ment for the establishment of a line
of steamers between Venice and the
far East. This is already much COM
batted. The Italie in particular points
out that such a sum is altogether abb
surd, in comparison with the amount
put into the English and American
lines, and demands that If the govern
ment have 100000 to spare they
should rather give 1t to the mainte-
nance of Venice's glories.
