BANKER WAS ONCE
A LABOR LEADER
w. q. EDENs HAS HAD VARIED
EXPERIENCE.
Helped Organize Brakemen,s s Union in
the EARLY Eighties and is Now Trying
to Build up a Better Understanding
Among the Bankers.

| ! ~ E 5 & e
W. G. Edens, in charge Of the country
company Of Illinois at Chicago, was one
CT the leading figures at the Minnesota
State Bankers convention at Tonka
Bay, Lake Minnetonka. Altho still a.
young man, he has had a varied expert
ence IN business and politics, a wide
of the country. Mr.. Edens is familiar
with Minneapolis because of his CON
nection with the Brotherhood Of Rail
way Trainmen, and from the fact that
his position with the postoffice depart
ment in past years brought him here
frequently.
In 1878 Mr.. Edens entered railroad
service at Bucyrus, Ohio,2 as office boy.
While there he assisted in the organi-
one Of the national officers of the order
now known as the B. Of r. T., of which
he is still an active member. From
1888 to 1895 he was organizer. His
official position expired when, in 1889,
at st. Paul, he was succeeded as as
sistant grand master by sP.. III. Nor
risey, now grand master.
= While in Ohio Mr.. Edens became
great friend of Mckinley, and when the
fight was on in 1896 as to the instruc-
ton Of the Illinois delegation for Nc,
klnley, Edens went against the state
organization and won out. He later
became organizer of the Illinois Repub-
ican league, in 1856, and when the
national committee organized at Chi
cago Mr.. Edens had confidential rela-
tons with Chairman Hanna, and later
with Henry Payne and G.B. Cortelyou.
In 1897 he was appointed assistant gen,
eral superintendent Of the free delivery
1system-sby President Mckinley. He
resigned two>:years ago.
! Mr.. Edens was in the meantime
grand chancellor Of the knights of
). Pythias Of Illinois, and now is in the
supreme lodge from Illinois. III. n
Politics was avoided by Mr.. Edens
in his conversation. My observations,

MALPRACTICE APPEAL III.
IN SUPREME COURT


The case of Anna Moore against DR..
Cornelius Williams, both of st. Paul,
has been argued and submitted before
the state supreme court. The case
has been in the courts some time. .
Anna Moore had some trouble with
her hearing. She alleged, in the first
trial in the st. Paul district court, that
DR.; Williams operated on her left ear
at st.. Joseph 8 hospital, St. Paul, when
her trouble was IN the right ear; and
that as a result Of his mistake, she be-
came totally deaf. On the first trial
she secured a verdict Of something
over $4,000.
DR.. Williams secured second trial,
and introduced much expert testimony
to the effect that the operation he per
formed had practically saved the wom-
ans life. The jury returned verdict
for him.
The present case, is an appeal from
the verdict in the second trial, taken
by Anna Moore. The case was taken
under advisement by the supreme court.

DULL IN FLOUR TRADE
BETWEEN-TIMEs SEASON In THE
BIG MILLS WITH LITTLE DOING
BUT WAIT FOR NEW-CRoP BA-
SITS

Dizziness in The -four tradetis the gen
eral report from the mills and milling
company Offices. Only about half the
total milling, capacity isssbeing utilized
at present. The Pillsbury- W ashburn
and Consolidated are both running
moderately. The Phoenix mill will
close, and two mills Of the Washburn-
Crosby company with close tonight.
ssa Altho the dizziness is little. more
thing to .expectSat this. time. Il is the
waiting season. Flour prices are based
upon old Nraw material, wheat, grown
last year. The Minneapolis elevators
have some fine old7crop wheat in store.
Meanwhile the new crop is growing
and many flour buyers are disinclined
to stock up, believing that when new
wheat comes in and flour prices are
be lower, but this win depend upon
the size and quality Of the crop.
One good feature is light stocks.
There is no heavy supply of -four, any
whore and when once the new crop sit7
uation assumes more definite shape,
later on, buying Of -four will doubtless
run heavy and the mills will all be
busy again. r...r
Henry L. Little, who returned today
says the trade in. the east IS very dull.
In New York Mr.. Little found every
thing hopeful, with full confidence in
good crops and continued business
activity. $ ~ &C.,
