Minneapolis Saloon Men Max
ing an Awful HoIIer.
BUT HAVE FEW LISTENERS.
Boyc0tting Dealers in Their Own
Town and are Buying Of Those
in st. Paul.

Minneapolis, Dec. 22.-Alleging bust
ness has fallen off fully one third since
the mayoralty lightning, closing saloons
on Sunday, struck them, the newly or
ganized hotel and restaurant keepers
association of Minneapolis has petition
ed the retail dealers association to as
sst them in securing some comprom
Use in the rigid enforcement of the edict
So far, however, nothing has been done
by the retailers. A, for example, con
ducts saloon and restaurant. The
Sunday before the mayors order went
into effect his receipts were $500. Last
Sunday his receipts were less than $3.50.
B says that before Mayor Jones' in
reference he was making $500 a month.
He is now losing $500 every thirty days.
c, who is proprietor of very large
hotel, says business has fallen off one
third since the mayors order. And so
on down the list of big and little
hotels and restaurants; figures that
won't lie are offered as exhibits to prove
the falling off in this branch of business.
One of the members of the retailers
organization said:
"We are all sorry for the fellows who
are losing money, and we would like it
if they could sell liquor with meals, but
the law will not discriminate against a
hotel keeper who sells liquor on Sunday
and the tough saloonkeeper who is
found guilty of the same offense."
Pressure is being brought to bear on
the retailers to make them realize that
their pocketbooks will suffer if they fail
to support their friends and neighbors in
the hotel and restaurant line.
individual members of the hotel and
restaurant keepers association have
placed large orders for supplies with
st. Paul firms. Others have gratified
their spite by sending members of their
W OF. 10 Duy
presents in the hope that such boycott
ting of Minneapolis firms will make To-
cal merchants hurry to their rescue; but
whether the city has grown so great
that it doesn't require the business thus
diverted to the Sanity City, or whether
it is of Insignificant proportions, Min
neapolis merchants have not noticed it
to any appreciate extent.
"There is no doubt but that certain
members exasperated at what they term
the mayors unfairness, have bought
goods in st. Paul, and that very many
of their friends have done the same, and
will continue to do so until their patti
ence is exhausted or the mayor modifes
his idea of moral Sunday. But the
retailers, as an association, have no evil
dence at hand to warrant them in tax
ing alarm for the supremacy of Mime
apolis as the first city of the northwest
or the place where the best goods can
be obtained for the least money.

York, past grand regent, and Supreme
Representative W. A. Griffith of Brook
Ign and Supreme Representative Charles
Z. Cornell of Ithaca, to hear testimony
in the trial of F. u. Wilcox, of SYRIA
cuse.
Wilcox is member of the national
executive committee of Allied Royal Ar
canum councils, and also of the law
committee of five, which has charge of
the litigation against the supreme coun-
ell, to prevent the enforcement of the
new rates of assessment In addition
to the law cases being prosecuted by the
national committee, a campaign is be-
ing carried on to displace all the present
officers, both in the grand and supreme
councils, and subordinate councils are
being urged to elect representatives that
will carry out this intention.
Supreme Regent Virgins says that
Wilcox is charged with 'pernicious ac-
tivity" in these matters, of conduct un-
becoming a member of the order and
of violation of his obligation, as well
as general intent to wreck the order.
The charges, made by Supreme Repre-
sentative Frank Collins, of Syracuse,
were dismissed by Wilcox's council as
having no foundation. Collins then
took them to the supreme council. Will
cox will be tried in Syracuse, Dec. %.

CORN BREAD IN AMERICA.
Not So Common an Article Of Food
Nowadays as It Was Fifty
Years Ago.

Our exports of corn to European
countries have risen from 24,00o,000
bushels in 1888 to about 30o,000,000
bushels at the present time, and to-day
Belgium at least is using more Indian
corn per capita as food than the United
States. in which it is great native
cereal. says the Birmingham Age
Herald. In Belgium the bakeries put
about Rs per cent. Of corn flour IN the
bread they make, and such bread is read
ily sold lower than wheat or rye loaVes.
1t is considered more nutritious ana
more easily digestible. In Germany the
favorite loaf consists of one-third corn
and two-thirds rye, and fye-pound
loaf thus made is sold at a saving OF
about 25 per cent.
The change in the European bread
supply was started by c.. Murphy, who
was sent abroad as a commissioner by
the department of agriculture. He be-
can the propaganda IN 1883. and he
maintained it until the use OF corn as
food was well started and even estab-
Iished, and to-day Europeans are more
|
leans themselves. Mr.. Murphy asserts
that both in Belgium and Ireland the
per capita consumption OF corn as =hu-
man food is higher than it is in the
United States. The value of the n
dian corn as food is not appreciated IN
this country Years ago children
thriyed and grew strong through the
consumption of johnny cake, ash cake,
hominy and pudding, but 10 recent
wears cornmeaf has fallen into COM
oaratlye disuse, although it is cheaper,
more wholesome and more digestIble
than wheat flour The preparation of
corn for the table can be more varied
taan that of wheat, and yet for some
reason Indian corn is not freely used.
Mr.. Murphy says the consumption OF
American corn in crowded Belgium IS
| hfsner than it is in this country It IL
/ difficult to account for the dislike OF this
country for corn in its various forms.
| We grow it. and we should net look
with an unfavorable eye On our own
excellent and abundant product.
The subject deserves careful attention,
| with view to reinstatement OF Amer
lean corn to the place it held on the
| tables of our ancestors. Corn was not
a rejected article of food a century ago,
and it was freely used as late as so
years ago We may have progressed
backward in this matter. Mr.. Murphy

Instances are common of the Develop

cases in which the craving for crime
