BUCKS BANANA TRUST
st. Paul Man Heads Company that Wars
on Monopoly.

w. A. Murphy Of st. Paul, member of
the B. Presley Fruit company, is presi
dent Of the Planters Steamship company
that has opened hostilities against the
banana trust, officially known as the
United Fruit company.
With its own line Of steamers, its own
plantation in Central America, and rail-
road lines it will build, the independent
company Is in position to accomplish
something, says the Commercial Bulletin.
Already the company has secured a
foothold in the northwest tho twin city
jobbers SO far have been somewhat chary
about antagonizing the powerful mono
poly.
!, Several prominent Iowa men are asso-
ciated with Mr.. Murphy and all have
knowledge of the fruit business and prop
critics that practically insure success.

Everything is ready for the big Lin
coin Day republican dinner to be given
at the Masonic Temple tomorrow even
ing. The committees on arrangements
have spared nothing to make the affair
a success, and they have not failed in
the smallest respect.
Almost at the last moment, when
everything seemed serene, the arrange
ments received jolt when Chairman
Thomas H. Girling received word from
Chicago to the effect that Frank O..
Louden, who was to be the speaker Of
the occasion, probably would be unable
to attend. Mr.. Louden has been taken
suddenly ill and is in critical condi-
ton. The committee at once set to
work to fill the gap in the program and
has done so.s
Nothing But Harmony.
"Harmony' will be the watchword
Of the feast and republican harmony
doctrine will be preached by every
speaker. Republication and Har-
mony," "Vocal Harmony, Business,

on the program. M. 81. Boutell, who is

quire a large number Of reservations.
The Roosevelt club will be represented
by delegation of seventy-fve mem
bers, other political clubs will be rep
resented by large bodies, and the entire
county organization, 700 strong, has
been invited. .>~... .~...

to attend may do SO. Arrangements

SHE WAS so THOUGHTFUL!
But We May Be Permitted to Doubt
If Every One Of the Party Was
Grateful to Her.

The family picnic has reached the
selected spot. 1t Is eight miles from
nowhere. Papa puts down the baskets
and packages with a sigh of relief.
Now, children" he says, I'VE will
begin the festivities Of the afternoon
by shooting our fireworks"
Laying out the cannon crackers and
other things he cautions the children
to- be careful, while he searches
through his pockets for matches. Find
ing none, he hastily turns over all the
bundles and packages, and then says:
Mamma, put a box Of matches In
one of these baskets. Did you see any
thing of it?"
Eyes, my dear"

No Ono Wanted Box IS.

In no other western European coun-
try is superstition so prevalent as In
Austria Hungary. Quite recently the
chamberlain's office changed the num-
Der OF box 10 In the Imperial opera
house and the Imperial Court theater
to la, because the public objected to
sitting in box bearing this unlucky
number None OF the rich subscribers
who takes box for the year wanted
No. 10. and for single performances 1t
was Just as hard TO dispose Of
This superstition reaches Its height
in medicine. Speaking at the health
exhibition, DIR. Heinrich Grnn declared
that in many instances superstition,
and especially local superstition, was
an absolute menace 10 public health.
In the Austrian hospitals one finds
no block or pavilion 10. no ward 10.
no staircase 10. Very few patients
will consent to be operated upon on
the thirteenth day OF the month, and
In this respect Friday, too. is consid-
cred just as unlucky At Carlsbad
Marienbad. Gastein and other famous
Austrian cure resorts nobody wants
to begin his cure on a Friday.
