THE PURITAN SALE
Intending Purchasers Are Warne q
 Against Perilous Speculation.

The household goods heretofore be- longing to Dr. and Mrs. Purman and contained in the Purman residence on North Seventh street. were sold ct auc- ton yesterday by Sheriff Cook. The sale was at the instance of creditors of John Q. White, a former dealer in paints, oil and glass in this city. For some reason the Purmans not long ago transferred their household goods to White, who is a relative, and when the transfer was noted on the records Whites creditors-St. Louis jobbers who held judgments against him for considerable sums-attached the goods and advertised them for sale.
 Prior to the sale, which began at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, counsel rep resenting pr. Purman, applied to the district court for an injunction re- straining the sheriff from going ahead with the sale, the claim being that the transfer to White was in the na- ture of a mortgage and not an out right bill of sale. The injunction was refused, the court stating that the ap- plicants had another remedy.
 An unusually large crowd attended the sale, and the announcement was made to the assemblage by a repre- sentative of Dr. Purman that the pur- chasers of articles would buy at their own peril. Once begun, the bidding was brisk and the sale proceeded rap idly, most articles selling fairly we'll. The house was comfortably furnished and there was an unusually large pri- vate library. The sale had not been concluded at , o'clock, and was ad- journed until Monday at 10 a. m About s1,4OO was realized from the ef- feets sold yesterday.
 A somewhat pathetic feature was lent to the occasion by the absence of the Purman family under circum- stances peculiarly sad. pr. Purman formerly one of the most extensive and prosperous practitioners in the territory, began to fail in health two years ago, and about a year and a half ago be- came paralyzed. About the time his illness became acute his finances be- came more or less involved, and he met a number of serious reverses through inability to attend to his af- fairs. His wife and son took him to California last summer, in the hope
 that he might improve in health, but | it is understood that he is no better Dr. Purman was public spirited and popular, and many expressions of sym pathy for him were heard in the | crowd yesterday. During the absence
 of the family the residence has been l occupied by friends as caretakers
 It was announced yesterday after
 noon that the residence had been sold at private sale to Rev Geo. H.
 Brewer of Albuquerque, a Baptist min ister. Rev. Brewer is secretary of the American Baptist Missionary society,
 and will make his home in Phoenix hereafter. It is understood that he paid | $6,000 cash for the Purman home.

A LAW DAY SESSION
Notions Heard and an Adjournment
 Taken to March 28.

There was law day session of the district court yesterday at which an adjournment was taken until March 2S.
 There were several cases before the court, among them those of H. J. Ben nett against the territorial board of equalization and the territory against Thomas Armstrong, the opinions in which are described in another column.
 In the case of Wolf Sachs against Laura Billups administratrix and others, the motion of the defendants for new trial was denied. In the damage suit of G. w. Sanders against the Phoenix Street Railway company a motion to substitute the administra- trix estate for plaintiff was withdrawn This motion was filed a week ago by the widow of the plaintiff who died after bringing suit for damages resulting from street car accident. The court allowed the administrative to file authorities in support of the motion, but before the time for submitting them she began suit in her own name against the rail- way company.
 In the case of Elizabeth c. Brown against Thomas T. Hedger a demurrer 10 the cOmplalnt was ONefIuleO. Tn the case of Jack Gibson against Charles Goldman, d motion by the plaintiff for a judgment on the pleadings was con- tinued until April 2, the time previously set for hearing the demurrer and an- swer to the complaint. The same or der was made in the case of Charles Williams against the same defendant. It will not be forgotten that the de- fendant is the stake holder in a famous race run between a horse belonging tG MT. Gibson and another belonging 10 J. J. Cottrell; that a foul was claimed and that the purse wds tied up by MT. Gibson that subsequently, he and Will Hams brought suit for their share of the stakes. The divorce suit of Mary MCIune against William NJ Clune was set for March 2S. The same date was fixed for the trial of the case of Louis Dominguez against J. A. Kilroy.
 The trial of the divorce suit of Re- becca G. Phillips against J. A. Phillips was begun. The evidence was heard and three exhibits in the shape of let ters from the defendant were put in. The case was taken under advisement.

BEAUTIFUL COSTUMES.

New York Herald, June 4th:The cos tunes intended for Miss Louise Carter and the other lady members of "A Wise Woman" were seized by Chief of Treasury Agents Heron this morning and are piled up in the seizure room of the Custom House. Manager Davis called at the Custom House this after noon and held a conference with Col lector Erhardt and Chief Heron. The costumes wereIvalued at $5OOO, and the average duty on them would be nearly 50 per cent. It is probab ble, however, that they will be allowed to pass free of duty. They should have been en- tered at Paris as tools of trade" and it was through a blunder on the other side that they were not.

Moves of the Banks.

-Four important moves have been made by
banks. The German-American bought lot
across from it's present situation and is build
ing model bank with marble front and all
the latest improvements. The Northwestern
National opened it's magnificent building
First avenue S, two blocks from it's former
quarters, with such that additional re-
ceiving tellers have been added to the force and
the bank lists have been completely revised by
a great deal Of labor. The Security, the largest
state bank in Minnesota, has decided upon
new banking building and will move to Fourth
street and Second avenue S, about two blocks
from it's present situation. The National Bank
of Commerce decided to remain in it's former
quarters and in preparation remodeled the first
floor Of the Bank Of Commerce block at great
expense. The German-American will open a
woman s department and safety deposit de-
partment; the Bank Of Commerce has opened
a woman s department during the year. the
Northwestern National has put in operation
safety deposit department, as has the Minne-
sofa Title Insurance and Trust company.

Savings Banks Prosperous.

Savings banks evidence prosperity in deposit
gains. After the reaction from investment in
farm lands money began to flow back to the
savings banks or rather the depositors re-
turned to the savings institutions as a safe
place to leave their money at steady COM
pound interest. One savings institution has ad-
vanced it's rate to customers to per cent. An
other has successfully tried the plan of adding
IL per cent in it's participation department
when money is left untouched stated period.
Trust companies have also profted by the
general prosperity and have increased their
business, one of them having found necessary
an addition to it's quarters in which it estab-
lished safety deposit vault

7 r increasing bank clearings indicate pros
porous commercial conditions Minneapolis
has made steady strides forward in the last
twenty-three years. The clearings for 1904 pass
the record of any previous year and the records
kept since the clearing house was established in
1881 show that that gain has been rapid and
steady.
The city's growth in business way ex-
plains, in part, this constant gain. Another
son is the fact that many country bank ac-
counts have been transferred to Minneapolis
from st. Paul and other cities. Still another
reason is that "nothing succeeds like success
and the great vortex of business achievement
which Is Distinguishing Minneapolis from other
northwestern cities draws in other business in
q greater ratio than that of the gain in popula-
ton.
The increase for 1904 is due in measure to
the increase in the price of wheat. This adj
vance produced a general advance in the cost
Of it's products and other things More money
was needed to handle the crop and consequent
ly the banks did bigger business
Records Have Been Broken
Records have been slaughtered weekly,
monthly and yearly, the totals passing all for
mer records September's clearings bowled over
all former totals and October apd November
showed big gains. Minneapolis has stood we'll
in the banking column of the cities of the coun-
try, climbing towards the top.
The tabulation for twenty-three years, fur
nished by the clearing house association, shows
a jump from $19, ,4S7, ,640.S6 for 1881 to $741,-
O49, ,348O3 in 1908. Clearings for 1904, except
the last two days in December, were $849 1885,

The local record depends in a great part on
the deposits Of country banks. The surplus is
sent in and when the crop movement begins the
currency goes out again and balances are
duced by shipments back to the country. Wheat
having passed the dollar mark the farmers were
in clover. Their surplus was put away in the
country banks which in turn increased their
city balances
