John A. Hartigan, state insurance
commissioner, has sent letters to mer-
chants and manufacturers in different
parts of the state, warning them not
insure their property or stocks with
companies not licensed to do business
in Minnesota.
Some of these companies have not
taken out a state license, and they do
not pay taxes in Minnesota. In order
to stop them from sending agents here
to write up business, the legislature
passed law makimg it misdemeanor
for anyone to insure with an unlicensed
company. The insurance commissioner
called attention in his letter to the
penalty of the law.
Some of the merchants have claimed
that they can get their insurance where
they want to, and say the state law is
in restraint of interstate commerce. The
United States supreme court has held
the insurance business is not interstate
commerce, but the case may be tested
on the license phase in the state and
United States courts.

MOONS ECLIPSE
TO REVEAL COMET

Northfeld, Mimi, May 23.-This
evening win occur a total eclipse
of the moon. Following as it does the
interest aroused by Haleys comet. Il
will be watched with uncommon inter
est throughout the country. The earth,
like any opaque body, casts a shadow,
The path of the moon passes through
this shadow, and when the moon itself
passes into the shadow of the earth
the light from the sun is shut off and
the moon becomes a dark mass. The
moon will enter the penumbra or par
cial shadow of the earth at 80 o'clock
Monday evening, May %. She will
enter the full shadow of the earth at
9:46 o'clock. She will remain in the
full shadow or total eclipse for forty
minutes.
About midnight the moon viii be.
gin to emerge and at 1:22 O'clock will
be entirely free from the shadow, but
will remain in the penumbra for more
than an hour afterwards, the eclipse
being entirely over at 1885 o'clock.
The total eclipse will be visible in
Europe, North and South America and
the islands of the Pacific. Should the
eclipse occur two hours earlier, lit
would furnish most favorable con-
dition for observing Halley's comet. AS
the earth and the comet are rapidly
drawing away from one another the
comet becomes fainter and smaller
each night.

IS CREMATED

Bemidji, May 23.-Fire broke out in
the Ole Olson building at Shevlin Sun
day. The little 5-year- old son of
Frank Julian was cremated in the
flames. While the family were down
stairs in the restaurant the little fell
low was left alone in his room on the
second floor Just how the fire started
is not known, but IL is thought that the
boy secured match and in some way
the bed clothes in the room caught on
fire and the little body was burned be-
yond recognition
The father, Frank Julian. was in
Bemidjl at the time of the fire and
every effort was made TO reach him.
At this hour it is not known whether
Mr. Julian has been located. The
mother is almost frantic.
The volunteer fire department was
hastily summoned and the flames were
extinguished before the building
burned, considerable damage, however,
having been done. The fire fighters of
this little village did exceedingly good
work in saving the building from being
totally destroyed. Considerable excite
ment prevailed throughout the entire
community. Every effort was made to
reach the body of the boy before 1t was
too late. He was, doubtless smothered
before the flames reached him.
Several telephone calls have been
made to Bemidji inquiring as to the
whereabouts of Mr.. Julian.

BODY IS
FOUND PETRIFIED
REMAINS OF MARQUETTE WOMAN
BURIED FoRTY-oNE YEARS
AGO TURNED TO STONE
IN THE GRAVE.

Marquette, Mich, May 23.-Ex-
humed for the purpose Of being
transferred from the old to the new
Roman Catholic cemetery here, the
body of Mary Gilmore, who died forty
one years ago was found completely
petrified. The body was contained in q
Theoretically sealed metallic. casket.
Through the glass lid it was noticed
by the workmen that the remains
were in a perfect state of preserva-
ton. The facial features were as clear
and as unmarried as when the woman
passed from life more than four de-
cades ago. The relatives were no.
titled and 1t was determined to open
the coffin. Bodies are sometimes
found to be in we'll preserved con-
dition after many years of interment,
but crumble to dust as soon as the
air strikes them and it was believed
that such would be the case with
this one. Sexton Fred Yungbluth
opened the casket and was astounded
to discover that the body had pet
rified. The surface responded to the
sense of touch precisely as to stone
The wax flowers, which constituted
the tributes of the living to the dead
and the shroud, in which the corpse
was clothed, also were in a perfect
state Of preservation. Miss Gilmore
died from tuberculosis in 1859 at the
age of TO- She was the sister of Mrs.
William Cleary and Mrs. William
Greene, both now living here.

BROTHERS. WIFE TO CERTAIN
NOTES.

Bail bonds were signed this morn
ing, releasing from the custody of the
sheriff, William G.. Magnuson, who
was committed to Jail last Saturday
night In default Of $1,000 bail. Mag

mortgage bearing date, March 80, 1909.
w. g. Magnuson was arrested last
Saturday evening, on complaint of his
sister-in- law, Ella G. Magnuson, wife
of e, A. Magnuson, both men of the
firm of Magnuson Bros. of the Nickle
Plate saloon. The complaint alleges

LITIGATION INVOLVES
MILLIONS Of DOLLARS
in LAKE FRONT LANDS

Chicago May 23.-Litigation involv-
ing many millions of dollars in lake
front lands, and considered by the
plaintiffs the most important ever en-
tered into by this municipality, was
begun today when six suits were filed
by the city against occupants of the
land
The land involved was forced out of
the lake by accrerions and filling-in-
operations from Sixteenth to Fifty
sixth street, a distance of four and
one-half miles. At places the strip is
500 feet wide. The greater part of the
made land Is claimed by the Illinois
Central Railroad Co., whose right-of-
way runs through it, but there are five
other holders against whom suits also
have been filed. -
The land Is occupS&d, in addition
to the railroad, by many magnifi-
cenc residences, hotels and some indus
trial structures. Should the city be
successful, the land will be made into
parks and bathing beaches, forming a
system whose beauty 1t is said, would
stand unequaled in the world.
The suits, which are in the form of
quo warranto proceedings are filed in
the name of the state of Illinois,
through Atty. Gen. w. H. Stead. The
name Of States Attorney Walnnan of
Cook county also is attached.
The rapidity with which accretions
from the lake made land is shown in
the case of the late James Morgan,
who purchased 3-16 acres about three
years ago. He built piers into the land
and by 1893 was able not only to sell
$50 worth Of sand a day, caught by his
piers but to furnish a site for the Chi
cago beach hotels.

Business Outlook.

F. D. Putnam of Red Wing has just
returned from an extensive trip which
included the coast country. One of his
observations was expressed as follows:
"At Devils Lake, N. D., where he stop
ped on his way out, Mr.. Putnam found
the people anxious over the dry weather
which then prevailed. Since then, how
ever, copious rains have fallen and
there is every prospect of good crops
and prosperous business conditions. He
came back over the Canadian Pacific
and greatly enjoyed the trip. He no.
ticed that the Red River valley crops
were looking well and gathered from
the farmers he met that they were very
we'll satisfied with crop prospects"

Market pemoralized.

Chicago, May 23.-Wheat Market
opened weak and demoraiized with
selling on stop loss orders quite gen.
eral. Shorts were good buyers and
there was some resting orders around
100 for July and SO for September.
Market rallied on predictions of frost
in northwest, but broke again when
shorts had covered. Weakness in Win
nipeg was pronounced. May wheat
was very erratic selling down to 1861
on liquidation and rallied to 109h
easing later. The market was raided
from time to time and showed feeble
rallying pawer. Precipitation was
heavy in Missouri, light in other
parts of the southwest and northwest.
Minneapolis quotes fair demand for
cash wheat There were plenty of bad
reports from the winter wheat belt
but all such news was ignored and
the bearish feeling which has prevail
ed for so long over Swallowed all other
considerations. The wheat crop is not
yet made, and we still prefer the long
side at this level of values.
