Minneapolis, Sept. 29. — The mills will commence grinding again to-day; and, according to the claims made by the owners, practically complete crews will be worked. Quiet prevailed ovez the whole district yesterday. Whild crowds of strikers and. sympathizers gathered there was no disorder worthy: the name, Several times men who have been taking the places of the strikers desired to leave the mills, and in each case had to pass crowds | of strikers, but no violence was of- fered and nothing was said to them. Early in the day the strikers reported | that they had intercepted a large ship- ment of men from Duluth, and by ap- | plying moral suasion had succeeded in getting them to go back to their homes. The pickets also say that they | have been successful in converting | several university students who ap- plied for work at the mills. A meeting of the millers, packers | and nailers and loaders’ local unions was held at Union temple yesterday | afternoon. A resolution was unani- mously adopted calling upon the Washburn-Crosby, Pillsbury-Washburn and Consolidated mills to arbitrate the | present difference with their employes on pain of having the unions take) steps to put the product of those mills | on the unfair list. | TRAGEDY IN A CHURCH. La Crosse Man Shoots His Wife and Himself. | La Crosse, Wis., Sept. 29. — An at- | tempted murder and suicide occurred at the German Lutheran church, cor- | ner of Fifth and Cass streets, at the beginning of religious services Sunday, when Herman Rossow shot his wife | and himself in the presence of hun- dreds of witnesses. It appears cer- tain that Mrs. Rossow will die, while | Rossow, though dangerously wounded, | may recover. Rossow, who had been separated from his wife for some time, lay in wait for ner at a livery barn opposite the church where the | tragedy occurred. Finally he saw his | wife, with her mother, Mrs. Weiss, ap- proach and enter the church. He rushed across the street and at the | door of the edifice drew a revolver from his pocket. He shot his wife three times, every bullet entering the back and passing completely through the woman’s body. * At the door he paused, and, placing the revolver to| his left side, fired at his own heart. The bullet deflected slightly and en- tered his side just below the heart. Rossow was arrested and taken to a) hospital. Domestic trouble was the cause of the shooting. ee | GERMANS AROUSED. | At the Evidence Which Is Accumula- | ting of Boodling in Milwaukee. | Milwaukee, Sept. 29.—The Germans | are aroused at the evidence which is accumulating of boodling in city and | county affairs, and have called a mass | meeting to discuss the whole question | and take measures to prevent it. The | resolution for a mass meeting was passed at a meeting of the strongest | Turner society in the city, with a)| membership of several thousand, and it looks as though something might be the outcome of this agitation on the part of the Germans.

BUTCHERS INSIST UPON DEMAND Fifty-Three Thousand Men Will Quit Unless Packers Back Down. Chicago, Sept. 30.—The cattle butch- ers voted in secret session to reject the new working schedule submitted by the packers. This action means that 53,000 employes of the packing industry identified with the Amalgam- ated Meat Cutters and Butcher Work- ers of America will go on strike unless the packers recede from their posi- tion. The Chicago cattle butchers’ local decided to stand by their original demand for an increase of wages with- out any rearrangement of the sched- ule. At an early hour yesterday morn- ing dispatches were received from the locals in Kansas City, Omaha, St. Jo- seph and other packing house centers, stating that these locals had voted to reject the new working schedule. The packers will be officially notified of this action at a conference to be held to-day with representatives of the packers and the officers of the Amal- gamated Association of Workers. If the packers refuse to recede from their counter proposition to the wage agreement presented by the employes a general strike order will follow, ac- cording to the statements of the work- ers.

The state board of managers for the St. Louis Louisiana Purchase exposi- tion has issued a circular outlining some of the plans for the Minnesota educational exhibit at the exposition. The circular says: “It is the desire of the state board of managers and superintendent of this department that the Minnesota exhibit shall not only be worthy. of the state, but that it shall honestly repre- sent the work of the pupils. The ex- hibit should be founded upon the cur- ricnlum and arranged so as _ to illus- trate it, inasmuch as_ the curriculum émbodies the best thought of the school authorities for the success of the schools. “An exhibit of pupils’ work may be made to represent the work of the school with considerable clearness and fidelity, but in order to do this it must be honestly prepared and intelligently labeled. It is not only results, but how results are obtained, that most interests the public. “Written work, bound and arranged by years or grades, and illustrating full courses of study is the solid, scien- tific and indispensable part of an ex- hibit. Free hand drawing, mechanical drawing, color work, ink work, illus- trations, paper cutting illustrations, may drawing in ink or water color, clay modeling, relief maps in paper mache, clay or salt, production mays, nature-study charts, weather charts, monthly calendars, sense training ecards, paper folding, paper weaving, rug weaving, basketry, manual train- ing such as woodwork sloyd, paper sloyd, sewing and cooking; kinder- garten, weaving and_ sewing, cards, ete., from their very nature, always occupy a prominent place in a first- class exhibit. Specimens of pupils’ work in physics, chemistry, biology and other sciences are valuable ex- hibits.” The state board of managers for the St. Louis exposition has authorized the state educational committee ap- pointed by the Minnesota Edueational association to announée premitms to be awarded for the best work from the rural schools, the semi-graded schools, the graded schools and the high schools of the state; premiums to graded and high schools to apply only to towns of 5,000 population and less. There is a first premium of $100 and a second premium of $50 for each of the following: For the best rural school exhibit, for best semi-graded school exhibit, for best graded school exhibit, for best high school exhibit and the best county exhibit. A BALANCE OF $71,436. Handsome Margin in State Fair Treas- ury—Improvements Authorized. The board of managers of the state fair association has ordered the paint- ing of agricultural hall, the roofing of the cattle and horse exhibition barns and the laying of a mile of cement walk. The executive committee has been authorized to build a speed barn, to construct the east side driveway through the grounds and to grade the southwest corner of the grounds. Supt. Baird, who has charge of priv- ileges, reported a net collection of $15,- 100 from concessionaries. The treas- urer reported as follows: Receipts. » Dec. 10, 1902, balance an hand..

Brabner Smith, pastor of the Methodist church at Cass Lake, has written to the presiding elder asking that he be not returned to that charge. The congregation adopted resolutions of regret. Mr. Smith has assisted in paying about $2,000 on the church debt and for improvements during the two years he has been in Cass Lake. Many Improvement sare being mate at Preston. The Milwaukee road las extended its line to Isinours, which is to be changed to Preston Junction, and this will increase shipping facilities. The coming of the road will bring sev- eral new families. Among the many improvements are a new opera house and several business blocks. County Supt. Sommiervold has re- ceived notice that the Bagley public school has been recognized as a semi- graded school and will receive $240 as special aid this year. WHO PAYS TAXES, State Board Faces a Nice Question as| state Auditor Hears Three Cases — to Listing of Bank Assets. Several state banks appeared before the state board of equalization to pro test against the increases in their val- uation. In the case of the State Bank of Granite Falls an interesting point arose. This bank was assessed on a statement made April 9, under a call from the public examiner, Before May 1 the annual meeting was held and a dividend declared. The stockholders kept their dividends in the bank, tak- ing two-year certificates of deposit. President Johnson of the bank con- tended that the bank should not be assessed on these certificates, and Public Examiner S. T. Johnson ap- peared in support of this argument. They held that the money belonged ta the individual stockholders, who could sell their certificates when they pleased. J. G. Lawrenée of Wabash» took issue with this argument. Tht board reserved its decision. Protests were also heard from the Scandina- vian-American bank of St. Paul, the Citizens’ State bank of Slayton and the Renville State bank. Hennepin county gave a 15 per cent raise on the item of saloon and res- taurant stock and furniture. The re- turn made was $246,420. Ramsey county only returned $120,000 and was increased 100 per cent. St. Louis county was left at $144,366. The total return under this head was $1,256,630, while the assessment last year was $1,387,739. Increases were made on nearly all the counties, averaging 25 per cent, EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT. First-Class One Wanted for State at the St. Louis Exposition. The state board of managers for the Minnesota exhibit at the St. Louis ex- position has sent out letters to the echools of the state, calling attention to the desirability of Minnesota keep- ing up the record made at the Chicago fair by presenting the best educational exhibit at St. Louis. To stimulate the schools to do their best, the board an- nounces that it will award the follow- ing premiums: For the best rural school exhibit, $100 first premium and $50 second; for the best semi-graded school ex- hibit, $100 and $50; for the best grad- ed school exhibit, $100 and $50; for the best high school exhibit, $100 and $50; for the best county exhibit, $100 and $50. All werk entered for these premiums must be sent to St. Paul not later than Dec. 1, addressed to Miss Susanna E. Sirwell, superintendent of the depart- ment of education. The work will be exhibited at the next meeting of the State Haucational association, and from this material selections will be made to send to St. Louis. RECEIPTS IN AUGUST. The State Treasury Received $13,838 From Various Institutions. State institutions turned $13,838.74 into the state treasury as receipts for the month of August. The receipts from the various institutions were as follows: Anoka asylum, $65.67; Hastings asylum, $107.70; Fergus Falls hospital, $228.77; Rochester hospital, $350.72; St. Peter hospital, $293.89; Faribault, school for the deaf, $13.25; Faribault school for the feeble-minded, $302.93; Owatonna state public school, $8.25; Red Wing State training school, $150.74; St. Cloud State reformatory, $3,896.91; Stillwater state prison, $8,- 397.18; Moorhead state normal school, $17.98; St. Cloud state normal school, 4.75. FAVOR THE CREAMERY. State Fair Butter Tests Show Better Product From Whole Milk Plants. A. W. Trow of the state dairy and food department says the state fair butter tests showed that a higher grade of butter is made from cream- eries where the whole milk is sent in than from hand-separated cream. For that reason he does not believe the hand separator will drive out the co- 4 operative creamery in the more set- ted parts of the state. In the Red river vall>y and other paris of the ‘state where farms are not so close to- gether the hand separator will con- Ainue to be used almost entirely, as the difference in quality is not great and the economy is considerable. Waiter and Heir. Duluth, Minn., Sept. 29. — Ernest Buch, a waiter in a Duluth restaurant, has received word from Saxony, Ger- many that he has fallen heir to an estate worth about $23,000 and is pros- pective heir to other estates, but he dare no go and claim them. He ex- plains that when he was in the Ger- man army eight years ago he told a funny story at a mess banquet about his emperor and had to leave the Ger- man army in great haste to escape in- definite confinement in a military prison. Burglars forced their way through the rear door of the Farmers ’State bank at Waconia and drilled a hole in the brickwork surrounding the vault, but evidently became frightened, for they decamped without firing a shot, and left their tools behind. A hand- car stolen from the section house was found at Norwood. At Green Isle they blew up the deposit safe, secured a small sum, broke open another section house and took the handcar to Ham- burg. DISPUTES OVER LOG TAX. Where Double Taxation Is At- tempted. The state auditor held three tax hearings one morning recently, all in- volving the proper place of listing logs for taxation. The Rat Portage Lumber company was assessed in St. Louis, Itasca and Beltrami counties. In the first two it was assessed on its own returns, but Beltrami assessed 7,000,000 feet found in a boom on the American side ef the Rainy river. P. A. Smith, representing the com- pany, said that 5,000,000 feet of these logs were cut in Canada and were on their way to a Canadian mill. The boom was used for sorting and not for storage. This controversy is already in court, and the state auditor held that it did not come within his juris- diction. He allowed the assessments in the other counties to stand. Itasca and Beltrami counties both assessed logs of the Keewatin Lumber company. J. H. Loper, for the com- pany, said he had returned 9,000,000 feet in Itasca county, which were there on May 1. He made no return in Beltrami, where 13,700,000 were found on June 18. Thestate auditor allowed the Itasca assessment to stand, and fixed the assessment in Beltrami at 500,000 feet, as that amount was found in the boom May 1. Beltrami claimed 18,700 feet of logs returned in Hennepin county by Walke er & Akeley. County Auditor Scott was on hand to show that the assess- ment was voluntarily made and that the logs were in Hennepin county on May 1. MINNESOTA PROSPEROUS. | This Fact. Shown by National Bani Reports. Remarkable results are shown by the figures just received by the con- troller of the currency of the banks of Minnesota outside of St. Paul and Minneapolis. In the remarkable de- velopment of the small banks through- out the agricultural region Minnesota stands well in front. Fifty-four na- tional banks were established in the state the last year, and 173 national banks now report to the controller, against 119 making reports last year. To what extent the establishment of new national banks shows up in the aggregate resources and liabilities of all the banks now reporting is, of course, a matter of conjecture, but it is an interesting fact that the Minnne- sota national banks outside of the two leading cities reported an aggregate of individual deposits Sept. 15 a year ago of $36,436,098, while this year the 173 banks report imdividual deposits aggregating $40, 802, 622. The loans and discounts of the interjor banks have during the year increased abou five millions. The interior banks cf the staté also make a substantial showing in their contribution: to the volume of national bank note issues. The increase of these notes amounts to about $1,200,000, the total issue now being $2, 714,980. The treasury de? partment appears to have recognized in a material way the requirments of the agricultural sections of the state in the matter of federal funds in the interior banks. The volume of these deposits has increased about $200,000 and is now $495,444. STATE NEEDS MONEY. Funds Now in Banks Will Be Called in to Meet Demands. State Treasurer Block has just com- pleted an estimate of the demands on the treasury between now and Oct. 25, as follows: October apportionment of general school apportion- THOME << 5.0 steely aise Som oa $815,000 Expenses of state institutions for the month of October.. 300,000 Quistanding warrants, grad- ed school aid . he 25,000 Outstanding warrants, high SCHOOL Ald 60 ood Sec e sees 35,000 Total ... «++ +$1,342,000 The total deposits in banks at this time are $1,535,000. In addition'to the demands stated will be added the mis- cellaneous amounts to be paid out from time to time, which will practically use up all moneys on deposit in banks at this time. The treasurer antict- pates in the vicinity of $100,000 from October stumpage sales, and the pay- ments for the sale of prison twine will begin to come in about Nov. 1, which will relieve the situation some. A call will be made for funds on de- posit, as practically all will be re quired to meet the coming demands. GLENWOOD’S MASS MEETING. Committee Appointed to Forward the Location of State Hatchery. ~ An enthusiastic mass meeting of citizens wes held at Glenwood recently to discuss the location of the second State fish hatchery. The practice of inflating values of property available was strongly condemned and the senti- ment of the meeting was that if the owners of property desired by the commission will not voluntarily sel! at reasonable figures, men will make up the excess above what the commission deems a fair price. A committee consisting of Frank M. Eddy, C. P. Reeves, Mayor T. Calla- ghan, E. Keofod and Theo Anne was appointed to co-operate with Repre- sentative Ofsthun, the author of the bill, in whatever steps may be neces- sary for the speedy location of the hatchery, as contemplated in the bill, the business “
