- Republican precinct chairmen must
have their caucus notices for the pri:-
maries to be held June 2 posted not
later than today to scomp1y,&with the
provisions Of the new code Hereto
fore notices were posted only eight days
in advance of the caucus, the days Of

Under the new code notices must be
posted twenty-si days..
County Chairman Thomas H. Girling
has all notices in the hands Of the pre-
cinct chairmen. The notices were
mailed last week with instructions Soon
corning their posting. The purpose of
posting the notices is to call attention
of the voters to the caucuses and to
advise. them Of polling places. With
the twenty-six day notice, however, it
is doubtful whether much will be ac-

A. G. Timme, former actuary Of the
insurance company, will be one of the
state S star witnesses against w. F..
Bechtel, former president of the same
company, who is on trial before Judge
F. G. Brooks for the alleged theft Of
$4,000 from the company. Judging
from First Assistant County Attorney
John f. Dahl's statement to the jury
this afternoon, Timme will make some
sensational disclosures.
Mr.. Dahl's opening was not long, but
He stated that the charge against the
defendant was that Of stealing $500
from the company of which he was
president. He said the state would
show that on May 2, 1908, the defend
ant took his company's check for the
amount and drawn by his order, and
with it paid personal debt to H. S.
Halbert, president of the Kansas City
Life Insurance company.
What State Will Show.
"We will show correspondence, -
said Mr.. Dahl, "wherein the defendant
acknowledged debt Of $4,000 to Hal
bert and will show to you ethat this
$1,000 check was sent in partial pay
ment Of this personal obligation.
when Dearth sent word to Bechtel that
Wolfe was coming over to make an ex-
amlpatlon Of the cOmpany's affairs, he,
Bechtel, instructed Timme to destroy
the record of this $500 check and also
Of a check for $4,000 paid out for the
reinsurance Of another insurance COM
pany. -.~
1--WE will show that this defendant,
after his resignation from the presi-
dency of the insurance company, wrote
letter addressed to the editor of the
an editorial entitled: Resignation as
Confession in which he explained all
about this check transaction and at
tempted to Justify himself. by stating
that he had taken this check, as the
company owed him the money in part
payment of $4,000, which he had paid to
former State Insurance Commissioner
o 'shaughnessy, for the suppression of
an unfavorable report. This letter
was never sent and the original we can.
not find, but Mr.. Timme made a copy of
at at that time and this We have.''
Many Documents.
The proof in the state case will be
largely documentary, and it is not ex
pected that it's introduction will require
| much time, altho undoubtedly some dis
puted questions as to the admission OF
evidence will arise and the arguments
on these will probably be long. If the
copy Of Mr.. Bechtel s letter is admitted
in evidence, it is probable that the state
will not call 7. D. O'Brien. present in
surance commission, to tell what thu
defendant swore to when examined be
! fore him in 1906. If it is excluded
however, Mr. Dahl intimated that hi
had other evidence to fall back upon
The jury was completed shortly be
fore noon today. The,twelve men wer,
placed in the care Of two deputy sher
ifs during the noon recess, and will b,
allowed to see or talk to no one on tn

verdict. The courtroom was filed witt

UNION BARRIERS PLAN
WAR ON NIGHT SHOPS

Because the all-night barber shops work
more than union hours the BARRIERS union
is quietly planning huge BARRIERS strike
to whip the night shops into line by
arousing public indigna ton against them
1t is said that the BARRIERS in the all.
night and over-hour, shops are not union
men and that the first step in preparation
is to be organization. Some outlying dis
tricts all over the city have been thoroly
unionized and in some cases the small
outside shops are following the union reg
ulatiOns as to hours.
/ If possible, the employees Of the all
night shops are to be made union mem
bers and the strike called. With a few
downtown shops open all night. others
are inclined to try the plan and 1t is
feared the custom may become too gen.
.eral. Other unions have been conferred
with and offers of support have been Sc

Plans now under discussion and soon
to be actively undertaken by the CO.
operation of the Minneapolis business
interests working thru the Commercial
club, assure for Minneapolissa. suitable
union railway passenger station in the
near future. Various plans have been
discussed before, but active work is
now being undertaken. The plans are
more elaborate and comprehensive than
any before considered. y
The first step was taken today when
the public affairs committee of the
Commercial club, with an advisory COM
mittee consisting of William Henry
,Eustis, E. j. Phelps, City Engineer
Rinker, H. NJ. Hill and A. G. Paul, took
the project formally under discussion.
Only one sentiment was expressed and
it was for suitable union station for
the city at or near the present location,
but it included the purchase of consid-
cradle additional property to provide
for the further growth Of the city. The
discussion was rendered most enthusi-
astlc by the announcement by William
III. Eustis that the city has it in it's
power to compel the railroads to unite
in the project.
Can Compel Action.
"By concerted action. on the part of
the Commercial club and 1.-THE immense
and growing shipping interests of the
city, said Mr. Eustis, eve can compel
the railroads running into the city to
provide a suitable union station for the
city. The machinery for the purpose
is at hand in the state railway and
warehouse commission. If we can
prove, and we can do SO, that the sta
ton we desire is essential and necessary
we can get it whether the roads want to
give 1T to us or not, and I speak adj
visedly.' -,
To assist in the discussion, blue prints
OF the district were shown. Two plans
| are proposed. One calls for the acquisi-
ton OF all the property between First
street and the river from Third avenue
S to Third avenue N. There are few
valuable buildings on the property and
in time it will all be necessary for pas
senger trackage. If this larger plan
cannot carry, the purchase Of every
thing between First street and the
river and from Bridge square to Third
avenue S is proposed. In conjunction
with the work of pushing the new sta
ton, plans will be undertaken to push
the proposed new Third avenue BRIDGE
across the river.
1t the larger plan can be carried out
Minneapolis would be provided will
suitable station facilities for wears to
come and placed in the lead of Other
cities in point of station facilities
With the strip of land from Third av
enue N to Third avenue S and from the
! river to First street, all lines ,.enterine
the city can be provided with sufficient
trackage. - ~. 49,. ..s.s.,s.,st

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result. and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

Have you money in savings bank pay

Do you suppose the savings banks
permit your money to remain in
their vaults? No, indeed; they put
the money to work and get all the
profits except the paltry 3 or per
cent they pay you. They put it to
work by investing it where it will
pay larger interest returns. Your
common sense will tell you this must
be so. Why not invest yourself and
get all these larger returns?
Then again, of what use to you is
the small interest item you earn
from the savings bank-a few dollars
each year at the most. And in the
meantime there is no chance for
your principal-the money in the

. Because Of more or less general fear
of a mad dog epidemic, the authorities
are considering the advisability of max
ing an order that all dogs be muzzled,
on pain of being shot at sight. DR.. P.
M. Hall, commissioner of health, waited
on Mayor Jones today and urged him
to issue the order. The mayor will in
form himself as to his authority in such
cases and it may be that muzzles will
be ordered on all dogs before the day
is over. .-'.
What legal authority the mayor may
have is not known, but there is at least
ago, when the citizens were much
alarmed over mad dogs, Mayor Ames
ordered that all dogs be securely muz-
zled, and many a canine which ventured
on the streets without a face protector
yelped it's last as soon as policeman
caught sight Of it.
Supposed to Be Mad.
A dog supposed to be mad was killed
today by Officer Peterson at Fifth street
and Eleventh avenue s. The dog, a
fox terrier, was first seen on Riverside
avenue. 1t was then running wildly
about, swapping at people and dogs. It
was seen next on Second street s, and
where it was killed.
AS far as is known no human beings
were bitten, but several dogs which ven
| tured too near the frenzied animal felt
its teeth. Three of these dogs were cap
tured and tied, but the others could not
| be reached.

Last week a dog supposed to be af

! Minneapolis. -.-. ----~--
| The animal which bit ten dogs in the
Kenwood district sometime ago, after
being confined a few days developed q

dogs which were bitten have since
been killed at the request Of their own
ers, but the, other eight are still con

the other hand it might be weeks OF
