some sort of obligation to forever after

the judge, for Of all Grand Army men
in the country no one has more consist

Grand Army Of the Republic than he.
His views on this subject were very
forcibly expressed when as judge advo-

associations of Grand Army men were
detrimental to the welfare of the order
and were Objectionable for the same
reasons and to the same extent that
political clubs composed exclusively of
Presbyterians and Catholics would be.

VOUCHER SIGNED

Facts Of Grisly Fraud Uncov-

Some time ago Mrs. Catherine Farham

sworn statement that her husband had

have been no suspicion if it had not

letter was Sept. 4. The fact that the
statement bore a notarial seal compli-

The fact that the man had died and
had been buried there was easily
proved. But those who remem bered the
funeral were not prepared to swear tC
the date. One discriminating fact was
learned. The soldier had died at Cart

the notary had once lived in Dash. Mr.
Roethe then learned that the soldier

Dem. NOMINEES
SLOW TO DIG up
THEY WOULD DRAW ON THAT
CHAMPAIGN FUND.-
Several Of Them Believe This Much
Talked OF Fund Really Exists, and
They Believe It Should Be Used to

There was meeting of the Henne-
pin county democratic committee at
county headquarters today. The meet
ing was called for IL clock and was
good two hours in duration.s 1t was
executive, and none OF those present
would divulge any information as to
the business transacted. 1t is under
stood, however, that "the money ques-
tion' was under consideration and that
it is causing trouble in democratic
ranks.
Rumor for some time has had it that
under the present city administration
there has been accumulated campaign
fund of no small size. With several of
the democratic candidates the belief
was that this money was to 90 into
the present campaign expenses. Some
Of the democratic nominees to whom
the matter of a campaign assessment
has been preached, think they should
not be asked to "hand over'' as long
as this fund holds out; that the fund
should be used for the benefit of all
county and city nominees on the demo
cratic ticket. But the guardians of
the alleged fund are said to be 10th
to make general expenditures from it,
and there comes the rub. Before the
campaign is over, there is likely to be
friction on this subject which may re-
suit in split between the county com
mittee and some of the candidates on
the democratic ticket.

Christian Endeavorers Of the twin
cities, on the occasion Of the state con-
vention Of Christian Endeavorers, Sept.
80 to Oct. 8, inclusive, has been def
nitely settled by L. A. Gilbert Of St.
Paul, state transportation manager.
1t was at first intended to have a
special train from the twin cities, but
inasmuch as many Of the delegates find
it impossible to leave until Saturday
morning or afternoon, instead of on
Friday, no special will be run. Those
who wish to attend the opening SEES
sion of the convention will take the
Northern Pacific train leaving Mime
apolis at 2 pm. Friday from the union
station. This will bring them into Du-
luth at Z p.n.--in time for the supper
and opening address,. - IN.
Those who cannot go Friday may
take any Of the trains Of either the
Mort hern Pacific or the North-W estern
roads on Saturday, buying one-way
ticket here and taking receipt for the
same. This is important, as the re.
ceipt, presented in Duluth upon the day
of return, entities the holder to a re.
turn ticket at one-third the fare.
No matter which road or what train
is used, the above regulations must be
observed to secure the fare-and- third
rate. Delegates would do well to pur
chase their tickets well in advance and
at the uptown Offices Of the roads.
