ARE EASIMANS FOR EDDY?
STORY THAT THEY HAVE SUG-
GESTED A COMPROMISE ON EX-
CONGRESSMAN BRANDED AS
PIPE"

Political opponents Of Judge Collins
are circulating a story in st. Paul that
Charles e.. Eastman of Wadena and
John c. Eastman Of Thief River Falls
are suggesting to the Dunn forces in
their respective counties, Wadena and
Red Lake, that each county throw its
entire strength for Eddy, letting Dunn
and Collins go by the board. 1t is al
mist needless, to;'Tsays this story is
branded as pipe" at Collins head
quarters.
G. O. Baldwin of Duluth, former
demo cratic state senator from the
zenith city was in st. Paul to-day on
legal business. 1.-THE gubernatorial
fight is getting so bitter and so
muddy" said Mr.. Baldwin, that be-
lieve if we democrats could persuade
John Lind to run again for governor,
he could defeat either Collins or
Dunn" a.
Political gossip to-day says a COM
bination is being formed to "cinch"
the matter of nominations for the
state supreme bench. The connbina-
ton rumored consists on the start of
Judge Jaggard of st. Paul, Judge Ell
lott of Minneapolis and e. T. Young
of Appleton. Ed Y Dung, according to
this story, is to deliver the 1853 votes
of the seventh district to the two dis
trict judges to aid them in their SUI
preme court ambitions. They in turn
areto throw their strength, SO votes of
Ramsey and 113 votes of Hennepin, to
Young to aid him in defeating w. j..
Donahower for nomination at attorney
general. This combine seems also to
include the reinforcement Of w. B.
Douglas, former attorney general and
justice of the supreme court, who
succeeded Collins.

REAL ISSUE IS
The OPEN SHOP
LARGE POSSIBILITIES CON-
TANNED IN THE HAGLIN SIT
-, UATION.
Building Trades Council Authorizes a
Conference to Establish the Facts
The Building and Traders Exchange
Is Expected to Indorse Haglin and
General Labor War Is Possible.

The Building Trades Council has
authorized a conference with. the
Builders and Traders Exchange to
sift the facts preceding the now fa-
nous Haglin incident. Should this
conference prevail, it is possible that
the present critical condition Of the
building situation may be relieved. If
not, a more extended struggle between
the contractors and traders and the
unions is possible.
The executive committee of the
Building Trades council wishes to
have any misunderstanding or mis-
statement in regard to the Haglin in
cident of last August involving five I'M
ion men lceared up, but it is asserted
that the council will not brook for a
moment any attempt to force the open
shop. The council is willing that Mr..
Haglin should hire any men he may
wish or should run a nOn-union bust
ness If he wishes, but they will oppose
having union men forced to work with
non-union men. &ag
On the other hand it is asserted that
the five union men were fined unjust
ly. Mr.. Haglin refuses to discharge
these men and takes no interest in the
payment of these fines. His position
has been indursed by the master build
ers and it is said that the labor COM
mittee of the Builders and Traders
exchange will report Endorsement at
the next meeting. This may result in
a general walkout If the contractors
decide to employ any man who is a
good mechanic, union or nonunion.
BY the calling out of all the union
men on the Haglin contract, it will
be necessary for the other contractors
to employ nonunion men to finish the
subcontracts The question is whether
this will make them all unfair" and
thus force general labor war.

IN DEFENSE OF DUNN
G. III. Warner Says He Did All He
Could with $4,000.

G. H. Warner Of Aitkin, in a COM
munication to a St. Paul paper this
morning, devotes a column to a de-
Tense of r. G. Dunn's record in pro-
tecting state timber. He asserts that
the legislative appropriation Of $12,-
600 a year is entirely inadequate for
the protection of unsold timber on
some 100000 acres Of state land in
the wilds of northern Minnesota. This
appropriation has to be used also for
the inspection Of mine properties, for
the appraising and advertising of all
state lands, for the expenses Of con-
Quoting all timber sales and prosecu-
ton of trespassers. AS a. result there
is barely enough money each year to
employ from three to six timber cruis-
ers to look for trespass cases. Tres
passes are often discovered to have
been made by irresponsible parties,
and so long ago that the logs cut have
already been retailed as finished lum-
Der. Private parties owning timber
lands, altho entitled to treble pay
ment like the state, are generally glad
to get the cost of the timber, or even
less. Mr.. Warner asserts that John
sons report was a selection of some
seventy Of the worst cases, out of TOO,
and that, taking this into considera-
ton, the report is remarka BILE show
ing in favor Of r. G. Dunn's admins

WITH Her DOLLY
Little Oracle Widing Is Picked

While playing on the porch in the

c. N. CONDUCTORS
ARE AGGRIEVED
WORK OF SHADES DETECTIVES
CAUSES DISCHARGES.
Twenty-one Conductors, Accused of
Knocking Down. Are Released
Without Opportunity to Interpose a
Defcnse-Trouble Is Mainly Con-
fined to the Divisions Centering at
Grand Forks.

There is a possibility that the recent
discharge of twenty-one passenger
conductors on the Great Northern
system may result in a general strike
that will be effective from one end of
the system to another.
1t was announced when the men
were discharged that the bond COM
pany had cancelled their bonds, and
the usual paragraph that the company
was sorry, but that their services
would have to be dispensed with was
added to the letter of notification.
Several Of the deposed conductors
have come to st. Paul, where they had
very brief interviews with General
superintendent George T. Slade. They
were told that the. bond company had
nothing whatever to do with their dis
charge, but that thru hired detectives
sent out by the general superintend-
ent, evidence had been secured to
show that the conductors were collect
ing fares for which no returns were
made to the company. Each case was
cited, but beyond the fact that Mr..
Slade had the evidence, the discharged
conductors were given nothing In the
shape Of proof, nor were they allowed
to enter any denial to the charges
brought against them or even given a
hearing.
Most, If not ALL of the conductors
insist that the charges are untrue, and
desire an opportunity to enter a de-
Tense. so far this has been denied by
General superintendent Slade, and his
continued refusal is likely to result in
a general strike on the system. He
did notify them, however, that three
detectives were now at work along the
system. >g5
At a meeting of the Order of Rail-
way Conductors for the Northern and
Dakota divisions, held at Grand Forks
yesterday, there was a large attend
ance, and Chairman Mcmillan was
present.
The reception of the deposed con-
ductors at st. Paul was brought up for
discussion, as was the refusal Of Mr..
Slade to allow the men to make a de-
Tense or even enter denial to the
charges brought against them by his
detectives. It is also charged that
divisions have not been made in a sat
isfactory manner, and this fact will
form a part of the grievances that are
to be submitted to. the Great Northern
officials. rFsgE
1t was announced from a reliable
source that Mr.. Slade would be asked
to furnish documentary evidence
against each Of the men discharged
and that if this was not forthcoming
trouble might be expected, unless
those men to whom the evidence was
denied were reinstated.
Chairman Mcmillan reached St.
Paul to-day and the trouble between
the men and superintendent Slade will
be taken up in the usual way.
Meetings were held at other divi-
sion points Sunday, and the outcome
will be watched with much interest
along the Great Northern system.

.MEDICSaH HAVE
TOO MANY FADS
DIETETIC TABLES FIT FOR Ex-
ECUTION OF CRIMINALS.
Dr.. Eugene Hubbell of st. Paul Hits
Straight Out in His Address Before
the State Homeopathic Convention
Another Speaker Criticises Teach
ing of Scientific Temperance a

s. I Z p , z Z s . /.
Dr.. Eugene Hubbell of st. Paul, in a
paper which he read this morning be-
fore the thirty-eighth annual conven-
ton Of the Minnesota State Homeo-
pathic Institute in Masonic Temple,
severely criticised some of the meth
DDS of physicians. His subject was
Life Essentials" and he said that
people would be in better health if
they would breathe more deeply, spend
more time in the sunshine, eat more
raw food, drink more water and take
more exercise, instead of taking SO
many poisonous medicines.
The dietetic tables usually laid
down for our guidance he said, ARE
simply outrageous; most Of them
would be a fit diet for the execution
of criminals. I do not wonder that
the, people guy us on the absurdities
Of our profession. It is high time that
we dropped many Of our absurd no
tons now taught and practiced in our
otherwise noble calling" .
Scientific Temperance" Opposed.
DR.. j. Arnold Rockwell, Of Cam
bridge, Mass, in a paper which was
read by Secretary E.. L. Mann, ap-
pealed to physicians to use their in
fuence to have modern physiology and
hygiene taught in our schools. DR..
tOChWSll attacked the present meth
cd, saying: More time should be de-
voted to the teaching Of the functions
of the human body than to it's struc-
ture; to the causes of disease than to
the exaggerated instruction on alcohol
and the narcotic effects of tobacco.
said recently, we must insist upon re-
lief from the incubus of that .scien-
tific temperance so-called, which has
too long rested on the teaching of
physiology and hygiene, winding its
tentacles aboutysit, octopus-like, sap
ping its strength and crushing out its
usefulness. On this subject let us
have no misunderstanding. The evil
effects of the use of alcoholic drinks
must be fully and clearly inculcated.
The youth of America must be thoro-
ly informed Of the insidiOus dangers
which Turk about strong drink. But
on the other hand we must never for
get that the public schools are no
place for any propaganda, and that
the freedom of teaching must not be
surrendered even to reformers."
DR.. H. c. Aldrich of Minneap oils,
president of the institute, presided at
to-day's sessions. This afternoon the
discussions and papers were devoted
to subjects suggested by the bureaus
Of pathology and gynaecology and OBJ
stetrics.

REA BROS CAsCARIN
The Mild Liquid Laxative for Both Adults
and Children.

All mothers know the difficulty in trying to
make children take medicine. 1t is black day
for the little ones when their stomach is out Of
order and they have to take those nasty rene
dies which stick in the throat and leave a bad
taste III the mouth all day long; for when these
medicines are taken into the little ones stomach
they grippe terribly and cause much annoyance.
friend told me what Cascarn had done for her
7 children, and l have tried 1t to my satisfaction
can honestly say that Cascarin has no equal.
II is pleasure in taking and after taking.
My advice to mothers is to keep Gascarin as
do. always on hand. 1t solves the problem of
treating childrens ailments, and will save you a
great deal OF anxiety as we'll as worry, many
Il time
No need of your going to doctor and paying
big doctor bills when you can be cured by the
best prescription that the world has ever known
There is only one genuine Cascarin. 1t is a
LIQUID laxative and pleasant to the taste, and
does not interfere with the most delicate
stomach. AT all leading druggists, one size, so
oents.

an interesting group in the lobby OF the
Merchants hotel, st. Paul, yesterday.
They were Senators Moses E. Clapp OF
Minnesota, A. B. Kittredge of South Da-
kota and H. C. Hansbrough of North Da-
kota. All denied that there was any POI

business; that the party in his state was
in good shape for battle, and that general
business conditions were satisfactory. He
left last night for his home.
II hear I am slated as delegate to
the national republican convention said
Senator Hansbrough. 1T is very kind of
the boys-but, honestly, at this time of
the year I'd rather go fishing Senator
Hansbrough left last evening for Fargo.
While the senators we're in st. Paul SEN
ator Clapp did honors as mine host for
Minnesota, and incidentally met a few
country constituents.
