COURT NEWSTHE CONVERSION" DIDN'T GO
Tlie Supreme Court Reverses Lower*Court in. Cane of O. A*. Carson.
In the case of O. N. Carson against thesheriff of Pine county and others the su-preme court reverses the lower court. Thesuit involved a deal between an insolventand his preferred creditor -by which theformer's stock of merchandise was con-verted into a homestead. The supremecourt- evidently does not approve such amethod of doing business.
|: The decision of the lower court in thecase of Cornish, Curtis & Greene company,iappellants, against the Antrim Co-opera-tive Creamery company, is affirmed. Theaction involved a construction of contract
Justice Lovely also affirmed the lowercourt in the case of Hans Hanson, appel-lant, against Andrew Nelson, an action jupon a note. -j-:;

IN BLUE AND GOLDTailors Working Overtime to Dress
New Policemen.
CHIEF AMES' GORGEOUS RAIMENT
A Veritable Dream—Two of the "NewI'm" Frozen Out—They Prompt-
ly Reiilsn.
Blue cloth, gold brakl and brass buttonsare by the tailor's art being transformedinto uniforms for what Colonel Fred Amesexpects 'to be one of the finest lookingcorps of policemen in the country. Thenumerous changes in the police force re-quires the purchase of absolutely new uni-forms by all of the new men. Many of theold ones are following the movement. Lo-cal tailors are busy with the orders forthe chief, the captains, lieutenants andsergeants. The dress coat of the new uni-form of the chief was completed thismorning. Were it a picture hat, the mil-liner would call it a dream.. It comes verynear being one as it is. The material isof the best and the coat is in full dressnaval style, the first of the kind in thisstate as a uniform for a police officer. Ithas velvet cuffs with two rows of one-halfinch gold naval lace; two rows of goldplate buttons down the front; standing
velvet collar, on each side of which arethree golden stars to denote the chief'srank. The back is finished with side plaitswith gold plate buttons. The tailor con-siders this the finest thing that Minne-sota has ever seen in a police officer's un-iform.
The fatigue coat of the chief is a doublebreasted sack, closing with eight goldplate buttons, having a standing velvetcollar with the three gold bullion 6tars oaeach side and three buttons on the sleeve.The fatigue coat of the officers is the samewith the exception of the number of stars
on the collar.Uniform* Show Rank.:
Chief Ames stated this morning that he Ihad made some changes in the uniformsof the officers for the purpose of making
the uniform designate the rank. Hereto-fore the officer's rank could be known onlyby the mark on his cap, and in summer,when the officer was wearing a soft hat,his rank was not easily distinguished.Chief Ames has adopted the standing vel-vet collar for the coat instead of the rollcollar. The superintendent has three goldstars on each side of the collar, the cap-tains have two and the lieutenants one.
| The sergeants will be known by a silver: diamond shaped emblem worn in the sameplace.
The department is considering the ques-tion of an overcoat, but as yet has come tono decision. Many of the men are pur-
Ichasing coon coats, which they considera very necessary article for the cold days.
The officers and patrolmen have theirdress and fatigue uniforms to purchase, soit can be seen that the "great fire of 1901"means big business for the tailor whomakes a specialty of uniforms. The manwho,wears the s.uit pays the bill. He canpurchase it where he pleases. The depart-
ment furnishes the specifications. Thebrass buttons used in the manufacture ofthese garments are not a small item. Thefur lined overcoat, which was ChiefDoyle's idea, carries eighteen brass but-tons, the mounted police carries sixteenon his uniform, the patrolmen's dress coat ]has twelve and the blouse of his fatiguehas five. WMB
The tallest man on the force measuressix feet six inches. "When they appearin uniform," said Chief Ames, "you willsee some cracker jacks."
\~ot Ready for J. Frost.
Some of .the new men did not know oftheir appointments until the eleventhhour, and the installation of over one hun-dred men on the police force had its amus-ing side. Many of the men were whollyunprepared for the exposure that is thelot of the patrolman, especially on winternights. Some of the new men reported atthe stations wearing light spring over-coats. Others attempted to patrol beatson the outskirts of the city wearing derby
hats and only poor protection for theirhands and feet.
Two of these men quit after four hours'service. Richard P. Chalmers of the eastside station grew tired of the dog watch \u25a0
and was the first to resign. - G. A. Powersof ithe fifth precinct said he was "too '
strong" for patrol duty and nothing hasbeen heard from him since.
• A RECOMMENDATION
By a Minneapolis Girl Who Is Ableto Speak From Experience.
Miss Nellie M. Tomlinson of 3118 Min-nehaha avenue, Minneapolis, who is aclerk in one of the large dry goods stores,relates the following interesting experi-ence: •
"When I was 8 years of age I had thescarlet fever, and it left me with weakkidneys and a complication of diseases. Iwas so nervous that I could not sit quiet-ly in school and would have to go homeearly every day. Finally I became so badthat I left school and did not go for anentire term. I had headache all the timeand was too irritable to talk with any-one. The least excitement seemed to makemy heart nutter and a fainting spellwould follow. At times I became so dizzythat I would have to sit down until thefeeling passed away. My blood seemedto have turned to water and I had no col-or whatever in my face. I was a mereskeleton and had to lie down several timesduring the day. We called our familydoctor and he left medicine, but no bet-ter health followed. I then had one ofthe best physicians in the city, but he
i did not help me.
EASY LIE A FEW HEADSWATERWORKS KMPLOYKS HAPPY
Department Committee Suffer* SlightChanges—Runge May Stay—The
Mayor* Hospitality.
Owing to the fact that Aldermen Merrill,McCune and Liane still constitute a ma-jority of the waterworks committee, at-taches of that department are not losingmuch sleep over prospective changes.There is little prospect of a renewal of theagitation started two years ago for theremoval of Supervisor Jack McConnellon the ground that his office was su-perfluous. Investigation convinced thecommittee that the department could notwell dispense with his services. Thetwo new members of the committee, Ald-ermen N. J. Kelson ana Schoonmaker arenot disposed to make any trouble.
"Waterworks Billie" Winheiser, how-ever, is having his biennial nightmare.In the stilly night the veteran foremanof the waterworks department sees thefaces of W. J. Bowen of the second wardand one Stevens of the seventh, both ofwhom are working hard to succeed him.
Mr. Canterbury** List Coming.
Fire Chief Canterbury will submit hislist of appointees to the council Jan. 25.He says that no promotions or dismissalsamong assistant chiefs or minor officersof the department are contemplated.
It has been believed in some quartersthat the active candidacy of First Assist-ant Chief A. H. Runge for the office ofchief would lead to his dismissal. It issaid now that if Runge will sign a writ-ten agreement to keep out of fire depart-ment politics so long as he is in an officialcapacity, he will be retained. PresidentJones of the council, and members of thefire committee, believed that Runge shouldbe kept for the good of the department,
because of his undoubted ability as a firefighter.
Mayor Ames' hospitality lost no time inasserting itself yesterday. Immediatelyupon learning that the German warshipVeneta would soon drop anchor at the portof New Orleans, the mayor addressed aninvitation to the commander 'to visit Min-neapolis. The mayor concluded his invi-tation by wishing "his majesty, his peo-ple and yourself a long and happy life."
COLIIiGGSNSON, SOLDIERReminiscences by Col. C. T. Trow-
bridg-e, His MilitaryAssociate.When Colonel Thomas Wentworth Hig-
ginson lectures in the Institute of Artsand Letters course oa "American Oratory
and Orators" Friday night, many a civilwar soldier will listen to him with de-light, recalling the while the great daysof (the old war. But none of them willtake a greater delight in the coming ofthe reformer, soldiei\ author and friendof human freedom than Colonel C. T.Trowbridge, who was lieutenant colonel of
\u25a0 the first negro regiment raised during thecivil war, the regiment of which the lec-turer was colonel. Said Colonel Trow-bridge the other day:
Ah, he is a grand, good man. He is 67years old, but he thinks nothing of traveling
clear fioni Boston to Minneapolis to deliver alecture. He seems to have as much vitalityas when in the early fifties he was woundedwhile battetring down the door of the jail inBoston to free a fugitive slave; vor when hetraveled from Massachusetts to Kansas, car-rying a cannon concealed In a wagon for theuss of the free soldiers; or when he went to
northern New York to plan the escape ofJohn Brown, the hero of Harper's Ferry.
What you want to know is my recollectionof his connection with that first regiment ofcolored men that bore arms under the stars
and stripes—the advance guard of the splen-did soldiers who, 186,000 strong, saw servicein the war that made them free, of the regi-ments of horse and foot that have hunted theIndians on the western plains and guardedthe settlements from Assiniboia to El Paso,of the regiments that fought at El Cauey andSan Juan, and are even now beating up thejungles of Luzon.
Well, you wet it was this way. GeneralHunter, stationed at Port Beaufort, had takento enlisting the negroes. 1 commanded acompany In that regiment. A big hue andcry was raised about negro soldiers and ourregiment was disbanded. But General Saxtouwent north and saw Presideut Lincoln andgot verbal permission from him to enlist thenegroes. My company was put into the firstregiment organized under the president's au-thority as the First South Carolina—the onlyloyal regiment South Carolina furnished dur-ing the war. The command of this regimentwas offered to Colonel lligginson. That wasin November, 1562. You see he was thenfjlonel of the Fifty-first Massachusetts. Hehad hesitated to go Id to the war because hefeared it would not result in the abolition ofslavery after all. While he was trying tomake up his mind as to the proffered com-mand a lady wrote this little skit, taking himoff:
There was a young curate at WorcesterWho could have a command if he chooster:
But he said each recruitMust be blacker than soot.
Or else he'd go preacu where he use ter.
Mayor Amen' Hospitality.
Well, he took command of the regiment,and I was his lieutenant colonel. After' hewas wounded on the South Kdisto river inJdiy, 1881, I succeeded to the command. Hewas a splendid soldier, stalwart, handsomeaiid fearless. I often recall him as I saw himat the head of his black soldiers at the battleof St. Mary's— erect, firm, eager but cool.Although these black soldiers of his and hehimself had been outlawed by the Confeder-ates and promised death by the rope if takenprisoners, he penetrated further into the Con-federate lines at the height of Confederatepower than any other leader on his expedi-tious up the South Kdisto amd St. Mary's riv-ers. The man's valor and moral as well asphysical courage have been an inspiration tome all my li-fe.I admire the colonel as an author just as
much as I honor him as a soldier, and he isas good at writing as at fighting. He is alsoa brilliant lecturer. He has a fine, easy,taking, polished style, and I know that manywho haven't the same love for the old soldierthat I have will find great pleasure in spend-ing an evening with him.
"My parents read about Dr. Williams'Pink Pills for Pale People in one of ourcity papers, and thought it would be wisefor me to give them a trial. I began to getbetter when I had taken the first box,and by the time I had used two and a halfboxes I was cured. Before I tooTc thepills I could do no work of any kind, butnow I can perform with ease my dutiesas clerk in a dry goods store. I think Iwas never before so well as I am to-day,and it is all due to Dr. Williams' PinkPills for Pale People.
"I have recommended the pills to manyof my friends and they are getting thesame good results. 1 will be glad to havewhat I have eaid published if it will in-duce others who are suffering to try Dr.Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People andbe cured as I was." Signed,

IN TOWN FOR A DAY AMUSEMENTSD. W. McCanna of Cando, N. D., is at
the Beaufort. Mr. McCanna was a memberof the North Dakota senate for several year3.His mission here is to complete the programfor the big farmers' institute which is to beheld at the Devils Lake Chautauqua nextseason. The committee in charge hopes,'among other things, to obtain an addressfrom President J. J. Hill of the Great North-ern.
"Our legislature has just begun the grind,"said Mr. McCanna, "and coupled with thenews about the row among tlie boys on theslope the Bismarck dispatches from now onought to be interesting. The slope combina-tion appears to be split straight through, thecenter. Jewell and Little are on one sideof the fence, while Patterson, Allen and Mc-Gillivray are on the other. This may in theend affect the prospects of Senator Hans-brough for re-election, as the trouble occursright in the camp of his friends. Until thisevent occurred it looked as if the senatorwould stand a show of being re-elected with-out much more of a fight than he experi-enced four years ago. I do not expect tosee a primary election bill make much head-way. Two years ago it was headed off earlyand easily and the same people who wereagainst the bill two years ago are against itnow. They are in the saddle in the senate.We expect the next Chautauqua at DevilsLake to be an even greater success than themeeting of last year."

"For the life insurance business,"said Mr. Elford, "the prospects were noneto good during the summer months, but thelast four months of the year gave us a bigbrace and in fact the business of thosemonths in our state was even better than thesame months of last year. The change ofadministration iv North Dakota brings withit a new insurance commissioner. I know ofno legislation which the insurance interestsdesire from our legislature."
L. Freeman of Fargo is at the Nicollet.Mr, Freeman has been interested in the Im-plement business in the Dakotas for years.He expects that trade will be quiet during theearly part of the season en account of thestocks carried over by the retail dealers.North Dakota under normal conditions can bedepended upon to furnish satisfactory resultsin the implement business and all that thestate needs is a fair crop to make her recordgood this year.
Mayor H. A. Libby of Park River is attbe Xicollet. The mayor stadted that there\u25a0were some measures of importance to comebefore the legislature of North Dakota atthis session in which the people of the statewere deeply interested, although as yet it washard to determine just what the law-makingboay was liable to do with them. The prim-ary election bill was one of them. "The peo-ple of our state are also deeply interested inthe progress of the senatorial fight in theMinnesota legislature," said Mr. Libby. "Wehave none of our own on this year and Min-nesota is looked to for entertainment in thatline."
"We got a good chunk of immigrationlast spring," said C. W. Wing of Carring-
! ton, "and our people are beginning to figure
i on the 'possibilities in that direction forI t)ie coming year. Politics, immigration andI crop constitute the three main topics of in-I terest to North Dakota people. The Soo lineis doing a great deal towards settling thecountry in the western part of the state,"
Prank Beal3 is in from Jamestown, N. D.He carries a sore arm due to vaccination.He states that the people along the North-ern Pacific have had the smallpox scare noworse than those in other sections of thenorthwest, but they ,believe in being ready
I for it. "The Jim River valley is a fine pieceI of country," said Mr. Beals, "and her mer-I chants are in good shape. Most all the townsI in that section of the state are growing. An-i other ten years will see big progress in thedevelopment of North Dakota."
ONE BOUNTY ALREADY PAID.Although the state sugar beet bounty law
has been declared unconstitutional, StateAuditor Dunn says the state cannot hope tocollect hte $20,000 already paid to the Min-nesota, Bet Sugar company in bounties. Thecourts will hardly hear a suit for its re-covery.
