a mistake. The dinner was served

and a good dinner it was. Another Of
like kind was served by the same par.

PAID HER TO DROP SUIT

County District Court.

The supreme court held yesterday, in
reversing an order of the Pine county
district court in the case of Emmern
McAllen against Fred A. Hodge and
Carrie e. Hodge, of Pine City, that if a

from suing Hodge and his wife, but
after making the agreement Mrs. Nc
Allen brought suit McAHen sought to
introduce this agreement in the lower
court, which refused to allow him to
intervene.

BACH IS INSOLVENT
Banks Suit Forces Trunk
Dealer to the Wall.

petition in bankruptcy was filed
yesterday by John M. Bach, a whole
sale dealer in trunks and leather goods,
at Filth and jackson streets, and John
ID. OBrien is named as receiver.
The schedule discIOSes a remark a BILE
condition of affairs, as the liabilities
are only $36,S97.81, while the assets are
$71,72O.
The principal item of the liabilities
is SCOTT, due to banks and for mer-
chandise purchased; of this amount
$1,000 due the st. Paul National bank
was the immediate cause of the trouble,
as suit was brought upon it day or
two ago. 1t is the opinion of the lead

rassment is only temporary, and that
an adjustment of his affairs will prove
him amply solvent.

CAN'T USE PUBLIC FUND
FOR PRIVATE PURPOSE
Supreme Court Says It's Illegal to Pay
Cost of Election Contest.

The practice of the Minneapolis city
council of reimbursing defeated candb-
dates for expenses incurred in con-
Quoting an election contest was de-
clared illegal by the supreme court
yesterday in an opinion handed down
by Judge Douglas in the case of Frank
III. Cashier against Claus 0. Peterson
and the city of Minneapolis.
Judge Douglas holds that a provision
of the charter of Minneapolis, created
by the legislature of 1889, setting aside
$4,000 to be disposed of by resolution
of the council, could not authorize the
payment of the expenses of an election
contest, and that the use of the money
for that purpose was an expenditure of
public funds for private purposes. The
judgment of the lower court was af-
firmed

CHIEF JOSEPH HERE
indian Who Gave Uncle Sam
Trouble Stops Over In City.

Chief Joseph, hereditary chief of the
Nez Perces Indians, who once gave
Uncle Sam a great deal of trouble, sat
buried beneath a big SOmbrerO at the
ST. Paul union depot yesterday and
gave no sign that he had, in his palny
days, given Gen. Miles a reputation by
his capture in the wilds of Montana.
"Chief Joseph and his band" rivaled
in warlike deeds and cruel treatment
of their captives any "red-skinned
devil" who ever came out of a yellow
back terror, and when he was taken
East a captive with several hundred of
his followers in charge of United
States troops, mention of his name
caused chills to operate up and down
the backs of st. Paul youths.
Joseph is now living quietly on the
Yakima reservation, some thirty miles
south of Spokane, Wash, and he and
twelve others of the tribe were in st.
Paul yesterday on their way to st.
Louis to become part of an exhibit for
a month at the fair. They were unac-
companied, Tom Eagle Blankea, an
unusually wise Indian, being interpre-
ter and factotum for the party. 9th
ers were Hot Wolf, Hattie Cral, Susie
Chief, Lizzie Cuayan, Yellow Wolf, Da-
vid Williams, Come Down and several
whose names have no English equiva-
Tents.
A tiny little boy, with big wondering
eyes and a very dirty face, was held
tightly by his mother, q comedy young
Indian woman, and the boys father
pulled silently at a big pipe. While
Chief Joseph was no longer in beads
and feathers and wore instead a con-
ventional suit of jeans, several of his
companions wore gay-colored blankets
with beads and ornaments, and gave
every indication of having just come
from the reservation.
The party, which arrived in st. Paul
from Washington via the Northern Pa
cific, left last night over the Rock ISL
and for St IOuiS

OBJECT TO USE OF
STEAM OR GASOLINE
Residents of White Bear Want Wells
Operated by Electrical Power.

Residents Of White Bear have raised
a most vigorous protest against the
use of steam or gasoline engines in
the proposed new pumping station to
operate the wells put in by the county
commissioners. A delegation will APP
pear before the county commissioners
at the meeting of Monday next, and, it
is understood, will present a petition
that electrical power be used instead
of steam or gasoline.
The objection to gasoline or steam
engines is the noise they would make,
and it is said that they would scare
horses as we'll as annoy the residents
of that portion of the lake shore where
the wells are located.
The wells are on the lake front, at
the end of the bridge which leads to
the island, and close to a much-travel-
ed road. The commissioners have in
clined toward an electrical plant for
reasons of economy, as it is stated
that it would cost $4,000 to put in
steam engines of the necessary capac-
fty, while motors to operate the wells
with electricity from the village plant
would cost much less.

LOSES ITS LAWSUIT
Supreme Court Holds 1t Cannot Com
bine Contracts.

Companies doing business on the in
staHment plan and combining con-
tracts for separate articles so as to
cover all collectively, were given a blow
In an opinion handed down by Judge
Brown, Of the supreme court, yesterday,
affirming Judge Finehout, of the mu-
nfclpal court of st. Paul. The case was
that of the North Star House Furnish
ing company against Alexander Rim
key.
Rinkey had purchased two articles
from the house furnishing company
and two agreements were drawn up
and pasted together. After paying an
amount which covered the purchase
price of one article he stopped making
payments and an action to recover
both was started. Judge Finehout held
that the property agreed to be trans
ferred by one of the contracts was not
pledged as security for the payment Of
the debt created by the other agree
ment, and the supreme court took the
same view.
