porter of London.

The Northwestern Miller will give a
dinner at the Minneapolis club tonight
for P. G. Pillman, Of Pillman & Phillips,
flour importers, Of London. 81
Mr.. Pillman's visit to MINNEAPOLIS is
particularly interesting to- local -four mill
ing men because he came to this country
as the delegate from the London chamber
of commerce and as a special delegate
from the London Flour Trade association.
He has. since his arrival in this country
Travelled from Montreal, where he at
tended the congress Of Chambers of Com
merce of the Empire, to Winnipeg.
He Is now on his way to Chicago, where
he will attend the Conference of steam
ship representatives and representatives
of the milling trade to be held under the
auspices Of the Millers' National Fedora
ton, which is paying particular attention
to the London landing clause, a sub
,ject which has interested the Minneapolis
millers for a number of years.
Among those to whom Invitations for
the dinner have been issued are James

SKIRT DIDN'T FIT
Stolen Article Was Therefore Re-
turned by Young Woman
Who Lifted" It.
Clerk Recognized Garment Young.
Woman Was Arrested and
Fined $25.

Had a young woman of this city been
fortunate enough to select skirt which
would fit her when she helped herself to
one from the stock in a local department.
store, she might not have been in police
court on a charge of petty larceny this
morning. AS it was Emma Duncke got
a skirt that did not fit, and after waiting
a few days took it back to have 1t altered.
The clerk identified the garment and the
young woman was arrested. She
pleaded guilty and Judge Dickinson
fined her $25. ~ so It'll: 5 sat4
She told the court that while she was
on a shopping tour a few weeks ago she
saw a skirt in a certain store and that
she admired it SO much that she thought
she must have it. She did not have
enough money to buy it SO she awaited
her chance and stole the garment. When
she got home she found that the skirt
did not set right and determined to
take 1t back. She said that she had
never stolen anything before and did not
know what made her do such a thing.
Her former employers appeared for her
and urged the court to be lenient. Owing
to her, previous good reputation, Judge
Dickinson made the fine as small as pos;
sible. The skirt was valued at 800:

SUPPLY CUTS NO ICE.
Price of Hard Coal Here Won't Be
Affected by Stock at
Duluth.
The Matter Of Prices Largely Arbi-
trary, Says Local Coal
Man.

. Prices are rather an arbitrary matter
in the coal business in the northwest,
you know said a coal man this morning.
This was given in explanation Of a previ-
Gus observation that tn erapid increase of
the stock piles at the head of the lakes
would not cause any reduction in the re-
tail price Of hard coal in Minneapolis and
that no reason existed why it should not
remain at the September figure of sS.75.
The coal at the head of the lakes Is in
control Of one or two interests, SO thoroly
amicable in their relations that no proba-
bility Of competition in, price cutting will
result because Of, the excess stock on
hand. ss l.... ..s ...-.s :: q,
Last winter the stock piles were all
used up. With the present excess Of coal
tonnage thru the breaking into the coal
carrying traffic Of the trust by ore car
riers, these stocks will onlyl be, restored.
The growth of manufacturing business
and the increased use of anthracite com
mercially in the northwest. will pretty
nearly take care of any excess, 1t is be-
lieved by the coal experts. H.

right to reject whatever appears unworthy

Of everything has been heavy. Red Tur-

Grain men have been receiving Inquiries
