privilege of entrance upon the city
streets and to limited extent the use
of tracks laid thereon is conceded.
This is the purpose Mr.. Nolan, the
author of the bill, claims to have in
view. If this is all he wants, and if
the representatives of the city concede
such privilege ,would be in the public
interest, there oughtn't to be any
great difficulty about them getting to-
gether. Mr.. Nolan is rather unfort-
unate in some of his associates in urg-
ing the measure. When those famil-

has always, carried a fine line of high
grade goods and the clientele he
has built up while in business here
has been satisfied. Asa watch repair
er Mr.. Doolittle ranks with the best
of them.
Mr.. Doolittle succeeds to an old,
we'll established business. He has
purchased the entire stock of the
Alden store and to it adds his own
stock. This gives him a large and
well selected stock of jewelry and
other goods carried in a high grade
jewelry store. He will continue to
handle all kinds of optical work. Mr..
Doolittle rents the Alden store, which
is amply large and we'll adapted to the
business. Mr.. Doolittle's many
friends here wish him success in his
new location.
. Mr. Alden's move was a surprise to
the community, very few being aware,
until Monday morning when they
found Mr.. Doolittle located in the
Alden store, that there had been a
sale.
Horace F. Alden is a st. Cloud boy
and came here in September, 1883, en-
tering the employ of Mr.. Green who
conducted stationery, drug and jew
elry business ina building on the lot
now occupied by S. C. Bjone's store.
Mr.. Alden remained with Mr. Green
several years, acting as the manager
of the jewelry department. The
Green store was moved first into the
room now occupied by the pool room,
thence to where the Golden Rule
Store now is, and finally into frame
building that stood ON the lot where
the Perkins drug store now is. Mr..
Alden finally bought Mr.. Green out
and started an exclusive jewelry store.
His next move was into frame build
ing standing on the lot where the
Boston Store now is. Some six years
ago Mr.. Hilsdale decided to build, and
Mr.. Alden moved the frame building
across the street to it's present loca-
tion and built on an addition.
Mr.. Alden will remain in Sauk Cen
ire for some months settling up his
business affairs, and will then take an
additional course in optometry with a
view to locating elsewhere for the ex-
elusive practice of that profession.
Mr.. Alden is one of the solid bust
ness men of the city. He is mem
Der of the Library Board and Fire
Department; prominent in Masonic
and X. of P. circles and one of the
leading members of the Episcopal
church. He will be greatly missed
when he leaves here and the best
wishes of his many friends for hissuc.
cess will go with him where he may
locate.

Birthday Present for Mrs. John Clark
and Emblem Pin For Mrs.
Sylvia townsend

On Tuesday evening number of
w. r. G. women assembled at the
Carnegie library, and at 7:3O proceed
ed to the home of Mrs. Byron Carr
president of the Corps, where they
found Mrs. John Clark, matron of the
Rest Room, and her daughter, Mrs.
Roy Working, making an evening
call. Mrs. Clark was reminded that
it was her seventy-fourth birthday,
and that it was perfectly proper to
surprise her, wherever she could be
found. She accepted the situation
gracefully, laid aside her wraps, and
gave herself up to the spirit of the
occasion. Piano music and gospel
songs occupied part of the time, and
light lunch was served, after which
Mrs. Tobey, in an original poetic
speech, handed to Mrs. Carr a pin of
the order, which she pinned on the
waist of Mrs. Clark, who was too much
overcome toreply for several minutes.
No one doubted her appreciation.
The rest of the evening was quietly
spent, the company departing early.
Mrs. Sylvia Townsend was very
pleasantly surprised, last Thursday
afternoon, by the members of the
Woman's Relief Corps. Mrs. Town
send was the guest of Mrs. J. B. Per
kins at dinner, by special invitation,
that day. In the afternoon the other
members of the Corps began to drop
.in until nearly all of them were there.
Mrs. Townsend did not know what it
was all about until Mrs. Barto, in a
very gracious and happy little speech,
presented her with agold emblem pin,
as souvenir of her four years service
as president of the Corps. Mrs. Town
send was greatly surprised but manag-
ed to express her deep appreciation of
the gift. The afternoon passed very
pleasantly for all concerned, one of the
features being bountiful lunch.

Knights j. f. Cooper, Alex Jameson
and W. S. Dean were appointed by
the chancellor commander as COM
mitee to assist in the arrangements.
Supper was served at ! o'clock and it
was royal repast. At the close some
body inquired what was the matter
with Alden and everybody asserted in
loud tone of voice that thatgentleman
was ''all right. During the supper
and for some time after, Chas. Fiesler
entertained the company with selec-
tions on his graphophone. This part
of the program was greatly appreciat-
ed. Later cards were played by a
number of the party. The ladies did
their part to make the evening pass
pleasantly and agreeably.

ASKS INVESTIGATION
OF US. EXPRESS CO.


NEW YORK, May 2O.-Arsuments
were heard and decision reserved to
day BY Judge Guy, on the application
Of John +. Dudley. a stockholder in
the United States Express Company,
for a writ of mandamus. permitting
him 10 examine the books of the com
psny.
Frederick H Sanborn appeared for
Dudley, and n the course of his argu-
ment made a general allegation Of
fraud on the part of the mana cement
of the company, which is now under
the control of Thomas c. Platt and
his family.
Sanborn set forth that the assets Of
the concern are sf0,OO0,000. only So
100000 OF which is directly invested
in the business.
Senator Thomas c. Plat. ne said.
draws $4,000 = year as president of the
concern, Chatncey S. Crosby, whom, ne
said, was a son-in-law Of the Senator
gets $1,000 a year, as secretary. and
Frank II. Platt, gets $3.50 year, as
Sanborn claimed that no stockholders
election ht- been held in forty-fiYe
years. and tnat the board Of directors
has perpetuated itself electing its own
members
Judge Morgan ]. OBrien, who repre-
sented the Express Company, and
characterized the request TO inspect the
books of the concern, as: "A vicious at
tack on Senator Platt, because after
devoting all Of his life to building up
the company's business, he now gets u.
salary of $4,000 a year. This is an at
tempt 20 wrest control from Senator
Platt."
Judge Guy gave both sides until Mon
day to file memoranda in support of
their contentious.

ton OF Alabama, made a desperate but
unsuccessful attempt 10 secure the re-
peal OF the law. he and his supporters
claiming that 1t had served its pur-
pose.
The bill is designed to correct IN
cqualities In the administration OF the
bankruptcy law In various parts or
the country and amends the statute
by regulating the duties and compen-
5ation of receivers In order to pre-
vent excessive fees. II also provides
that any moneyed business OF COM
mercial corporations except a munici-
pal railroad or banking corporation,
can hlc n petition for bankruptcy.
thereby eliminating the discrepancy
that has heretofore existed when
nome court decisions barred many cor.
porations IN one circuit that would be
admitted Into bankruptcy In another.

Woes further that In any composition
