HIS YELLOW DOG
WASN'T AN ASSET
EPHRIHAM DECIDED NOT TO GO
THRU BANKRUPTCY.
IIe Was Struggling Under a Load of
Debt Aggregating $3.50, But Found
That Bankruptcy Proceedings Would
Cost $50 in Cold Cash.

Ephriam Carter, denizen of the
Fish alley district, is firmly convinced
that law Is only for the affluent. He
feels that the poor man struggling
under q burden Of debt has no re-
course save in suicide. Carter, ac-
companied by dog Of uncertain age
and pedigree, wandered into the office
of the bankruptcy court this morning.
He announced that he desired to be-
come a bankrupt and be excused
from paying his debts.
Carter stated that he owed $3.50.
This he explained for for three weeks
board and for a whitewash brush
which he had purchased In March ex-
pecting an early spring. He said his
sole belonging was the NANCY dog,
which he thought, If properly sold,
would more than satisfy the claim Of
his creditors.
There was hitch In the proceed
ings when Carter learned that it cost
$50 to go thru bankruptcy. He made
a mental calculation and announced
that it would be cheaper to pay the
debts. He wandered from the office
with the dog at his heels and re-
marked to the pup as he left: "Doan'
know wheah we a goin' to sleep to-
night, Caesar. Yo' know what tn
lady dun said this mornin' an think
she would jess soon trow hot watah
on both Of us If we went monkeyin'
roun' theh again.

TICKER GIRL .SHOWERED'
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. MEN
CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY OF OP-
ORATOR WHO BECOMES SWEET
STYTEEN

The most successful shower Of
the season came off this morning at
the Chamber Of Commerce. The
chamber never does things by halves.
To-day there was the first opportunity
to break into the society game, and
the members went into it with vim.
1t was the sixteenth birthday Of Miss
May Kemper, daughter of Harry w.
Kemper, chief inspector Of the West
ern Union Telegraph company.
Miss Kemper came on change about
a year ago, when the new piano-like
arrangement was installed by which
the Minneapolis quotations are sent
out over the tickers of the northwest
Few operators are to be found for
these devices, the arrangement being
a rather complicated one. Miss KEN
per, who came temporarily, did so
we'll that the company insisted that
she remain. She is the only woman
who comes on the exchange floor and
her position is unique in several re-
spects. By her quiet, modest demea-
nor and strict attention to business,
she has won the hearts of the mem
bers. @
$S This morning some one found out
that her birthday had arrived, and
passed the word around. An i'm
promptu shower began. BY 1880
there was piled up around her a num-
Der Of big apples and about as many
oranges and bananas, decorated with
red and blue ribbons. There were
four boxes of candy, two tall bottles
of blue cachous, several bags Of pea
nuts, three boxes of figs, four Of dates,
a box Of cough drops, at least ten
small packages Of chewing gum, two
big packages, the contents of which
were unknown, and a. miscellaneous
collection Of smaller articles. A BUSH
Ell basket would scarcely have held
all the parcels that had poured in up
to noon, and they were still coming.
Last Of all came a bunch Of roses
about three feet across, from a num-
Der of the brokers in the pit. sa

CAPITOL CASE
TO BE APPEALED
GARNsEY CONTRACT WILL GO TO
SUPREME COURT.
Union Painters VIII Appear as Appel
lants, but Their Action Is Approved
by Some Well-Known Business Men
Lawyers Now Working on the
Appeal.

Much interest is being manifested
by organized labor. and others inter
ested, in the state capitol injunction
case. which will be appealed to the
supreme court. While the local Paint
ers' union is backing the appeal, there
are number of business men in the
twin cities and the state at large who
are as much concerned about the out
come Of the appeal as the painters.
A. G.. cambridge, business manager
of the Painters union, commenting
upon the determination Of his organi
cation to carry the case to the high
est state tribunal. said:
Eyes, we have decided to carry our
case against the state capitol COM
mission to the supreme court. We
have furnished the required bond and
have instructed our attorneys to pre-
pare the case. We believe we are
right in this instance, and we are go
ing to fight it to the end. Antiunion-
lists have been yelling: Obey the
law!' We believe in obeying the law,
and have always tried to be good, law
abiding citizens; but we are going to
see If others than working people do
not have to comply with the law also.
In this case we are satisfied the law,
and the intention Of the law, has been
openly violated; and yet even the
court seems to have found an excuse
to whitewash the matter over and re-
fuse an injunction. It seems to us
that some people can apply to the
courts and secure an injunction on
any trivial matter, while others do not
seem to be able to get the benefit Of
this injunction law, no matter what
their grievance. We are going to try
and find out whether this law by In
junction is only in the interest Of the
classes and not for the masses. I
believe that in the future organized
labor will have to fight many of its
battles in the courts. and If we find
the laws already on the statute books
of this state do not apply to all citi-
zens alike, then we will have to turn
our attention to sending men to the
| legislature who will make laws that
will be equal and just on all sides.
believe in law and order, and so does
my union; and, as General Grant said.
we are going to fight it out on that
line If it takes all summer.

A NEAT SOUVENIR
Published for Distribution at Minneapolis
Worlds Fair Exhibit.

The most compact and neatest souvenir
of Minneapolis ever published Is being
prepared by the Commercial club under
the edtorship of Wallace G. Nye, secre-
tary of the public affairs committee, for
distribution to visitors to the Minneapolis
exhibit at the st. Louis fair. The book
let will be only about 6x4 inches, but will
contain the meat Of statistical and de-
scriptive information about Minneapolis
and its Industries. The descriptive part
will be mainly in halftones Of representa-
tives. public buildings, parks, wholesale
houses, mills, banks, homes, hospitals and
the like. Fort Smelling, being In this
county, will have a proportionate part of
the book. Altho scores of different flour
city souvenirs have been issued nothing
containing so much information in such
small space has been put out. Scarcely
more than five lines is given to any one
feature. "a Mere Introduction to the
Great City of the Great Northwest" is the
modest title Of the book, the recipient
being supposed to guess the rest.

April showed a gain in special delivery

as compared with 5,637 of April 1903. The

over April, 1908, amounted to 5.64 per
cent, as compared with a 9 per cent in
