COURT NEWS THE CONVERSION" DIDN'T GO Tlie Supreme Court Reverses Lower* Court in. Cane of O. A*. Carson. In the case of O. N. Carson against the sheriff of Pine county and others the su- preme court reverses the lower court. The suit involved a deal between an insolvent and his preferred creditor -by which the former's stock of merchandise was con- verted into a homestead. The supreme court- evidently does not approve such a method of doing business. | : The decision of the lower court in the case of Cornish, Curtis & Greene company, i appellants, against the Antrim Co-opera- tive Creamery company, is affirmed. The action involved a construction of contract Justice Lovely also affirmed the lower court in the case of Hans Hanson, appel- lant, against Andrew Nelson, an action j upon a note. -j-:; Bowman Case Still On.

This change in the manner of handling the divorce business was proposed by Judge McGee, who will hare charge of the court cases this term. No Divorce Deluge.

CHIEF AMES' GORGEOUS RAIMENT A Veritable Dream—Two of the "New I'm" Frozen Out—They Prompt- ly Reiilsn. Blue cloth, gold brakl and brass buttons are by the tailor's art being transformed into uniforms for what Colonel Fred Ames expects 'to be one of the finest looking corps of policemen in the country. The numerous changes in the police force re- quires the purchase of absolutely new uni- forms by all of the new men. Many of the old ones are following the movement. Lo- cal tailors are busy with the orders for the chief, the captains, lieutenants and sergeants. The dress coat of the new uni- form of the chief was completed this morning. Were it a picture hat, the mil- liner would call it a dream.. It comes very near being one as it is. The material is of the best and the coat is in full dress naval style, the first of the kind in this state as a uniform for a police officer. It has velvet cuffs with two rows of one-half inch gold naval lace; two rows of gold plate buttons down the front; standing velvet collar, on each side of which are three golden stars to denote the chief's rank. The back is finished with side plaits with 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 double breasted sack, closing with eight gold plate buttons, having a standing velvet collar with the three gold bullion 6tars oa each side and three buttons on the sleeve. The fatigue coat of the officers is the same with the exception of the number of stars on the collar. Uniform* Show Rank.: Chief Ames stated this morning that he I had made some changes in the uniforms of the officers for the purpose of making the uniform designate the rank. Hereto- fore the officer's rank could be known only by 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 roll collar. The superintendent has three gold stars 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 same place. The department is considering the ques- tion of an overcoat, but as yet has come to no decision. Many of the men are pur- I chasing coon coats, which they consider a very necessary article for the cold days. The officers and patrolmen have their dress and fatigue uniforms to purchase, so it can be seen that the "great fire of 1901" means big business for the tailor who makes a specialty of uniforms. The man who,wears the s.uit pays the bill. He can purchase it where he pleases. The depart- ment furnishes the specifications. The brass buttons used in the manufacture of these garments are not a small item. The fur lined overcoat, which was Chief Doyle's idea, carries eighteen brass but- tons, the mounted police carries sixteen on his uniform, the patrolmen's dress coat ] has twelve and the blouse of his fatigue has five. WMB The tallest man on the force measures six feet six inches. "When they appear in uniform," said Chief Ames, "you will see some cracker jacks." \~ot Ready for J. Frost. Some of .the new men did not know of their appointments until the eleventh hour, and the installation of over one hun- dred men on the police force had its amus- ing side. Many of the men were wholly unprepared for the exposure that is the lot of the patrolman, especially on winter nights. Some of the new men reported at the stations wearing light spring over- coats. Others attempted to patrol beats on the outskirts of the city wearing derby hats and only poor protection for their hands and feet. Two of these men quit after four hours' service. Richard P. Chalmers of the east side station grew tired of the dog watch \u25a0 and was the first to resign. - G. A. Powers of ithe fifth precinct said he was "too ' strong" for patrol duty and nothing has been heard from him since. A RECOMMENDATION By a Minneapolis Girl Who Is Able to Speak From Experience. Miss Nellie M. Tomlinson of 3118 Min- nehaha avenue, Minneapolis, who is a clerk in one of the large dry goods stores, relates the following interesting experi- ence: "When I was 8 years of age I had the scarlet fever, and it left me with weak kidneys and a complication of diseases. I was so nervous that I could not sit quiet- ly in school and would have to go home early every day. Finally I became so bad that I left school and did not go for an entire term. I had headache all the time and was too irritable to talk with any- one. The least excitement seemed to make my heart nutter and a fainting spell would follow. At times I became so dizzy that I would have to sit down until the feeling passed away. My blood seemed to have turned to water and I had no col- or whatever in my face. I was a mere skeleton and had to lie down several times during the day. We called our family doctor and he left medicine, but no bet- ter health followed. I then had one of the best physicians in the city, but he i did not help me. EASY LIE A FEW HEADS WATERWORKS KMPLOYKS HAPPY Department Committee Suffer* Slight Changes—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 losing much sleep over prospective changes. There is little prospect of a renewal of the agitation started two years ago for the removal of Supervisor Jack McConnell on the ground that his office was su- perfluous. Investigation convinced the committee that the department could not well dispense with his services. The two new members of the committee, Ald- ermen N. J. Kelson ana Schoonmaker are not disposed to make any trouble. "Waterworks Billie" Winheiser, how- ever, is having his biennial nightmare. In the stilly night the veteran foreman of the waterworks department sees the faces of W. J. Bowen of the second ward and one Stevens of the seventh, both of whom are working hard to succeed him. Mr. Canterbury** List Coming. Fire Chief Canterbury will submit his list of appointees to the council Jan. 25. He says that no promotions or dismissals among assistant chiefs or minor officers of the department are contemplated. It has been believed in some quarters that the active candidacy of First Assist- ant Chief A. H. Runge for the office of chief would lead to his dismissal. It is said 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 official capacity, he will be retained. President Jones of the council, and members of the fire committee, believed that Runge should be kept for the good of the department, because of his undoubted ability as a fire fighter. Mayor Ames' hospitality lost no time in asserting itself yesterday. Immediately upon learning that the German warship Veneta would soon drop anchor at the port of New Orleans, the mayor addressed an invitation 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, SOLDIER Reminiscences by Col. C. T. Trow- bridg-e, His Military Associate. When Colonel Thomas Wentworth Hig- ginson lectures in the Institute of Arts and Letters course oa "American Oratory and Orators" Friday night, many a civil war soldier will listen to him with de- light, recalling the while the great days of (the old war. But none of them will take a greater delight in the coming of the reformer, soldiei\ author and friend of human freedom than Colonel C. T. Trowbridge, who was lieutenant colonel of \u25a0 the first negro regiment raised during the civil 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 67 years old, but he thinks nothing of traveling clear fioni Boston to Minneapolis to deliver a lecture. He seems to have as much vitality as when in the early fifties he was wounded while battetring down the door of the jail in Boston to free a fugitive slave; vor when he traveled from Massachusetts to Kansas, car- rying a cannon concealed In a wagon for the uss of the free soldiers; or when he went to northern New York to plan the escape of John Brown, the hero of Harper's Ferry. What you want to know is my recollection of his connection with that first regiment of colored men that bore arms under the stars and stripes—the advance guard of the splen- did soldiers who, 186,000 strong, saw service in the war that made them free, of the regi- ments of horse and foot that have hunted the Indians on the western plains and guarded the settlements from Assiniboia to El Paso, of the regiments that fought at El Cauey and San Juan, and are even now beating up the jungles of Luzon. Well, you wet it was this way. General Hunter, stationed at Port Beaufort, had taken to enlisting the negroes. 1 commanded a company In that regiment. A big hue and cry was raised about negro soldiers and our regiment was disbanded. But General Saxtou went north and saw Presideut Lincoln and got verbal permission from him to enlist the negroes. My company was put into the first regiment organized under the president's au- thority as the First South Carolina—the only loyal regiment South Carolina furnished dur- ing the war. The command of this regiment was offered to Colonel lligginson. That was in November, 1562. You see he was then fjlonel of the Fifty-first Massachusetts. He had hesitated to go Id to the war because he feared it would not result in the abolition of slavery after all. While he was trying to make up his mind as to the proffered com- mand a lady wrote this little skit, taking him off: There was a young curate at Worcester Who could have a command if he chooster: But he said each recruit Must 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' he was wounded on the South Kdisto river in Jdiy, 1881, I succeeded to the command. He was a splendid soldier, stalwart, handsome aiid fearless. I often recall him as I saw him at the head of his black soldiers at the battle of St. Mary's— erect, firm, eager but cool. Although these black soldiers of his and he himself had been outlawed by the Confeder- ates and promised death by the rope if taken prisoners, he penetrated further into the Con- federate lines at the height of Confederate power 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 as physical courage have been an inspiration to me all my li-fe. I admire the colonel as an author just as much as I honor him as a soldier, and he is as good at writing as at fighting. He is also a brilliant lecturer. He has a fine, easy, taking, polished style, and I know that many who haven't the same love for the old soldier that 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 our city papers, and thought it would be wise for me to give them a trial. I began to get better when I had taken the first box, and by the time I had used two and a half boxes I was cured. Before I tooTc the pills I could do no work of any kind, but now I can perform with ease my duties as clerk in a dry goods store. I think I was never before so well as I am to-day, and it is all due to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. "I have recommended the pills to many of my friends and they are getting the same good results. 1 will be glad to have what I have eaid published if it will in- duce others who are suffering to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and be cured as I was."

A HOT FIRE A Blaze on Bridge Square That Was EntlnsnUhed by Kilfyre. A second interesting demonstration of the wonderful power of Kilfyre in ex- tinguishing any kind of fires was made yesterday on Bridge Square by Messrs. Cross & Jackson, 304 Bank of Commerce. A huge pile of inflammable material was saturated with oil, the match applied, and in a few moments the pile became a mass of fire. Mr. E. W. Jackson then applied Kilfire by throwing it on the blaze through a small tube, and in an in- stant the fire was completely smothered. Kilfyre is a dry powdered compound and injures nothing but fire. When it comes in contact with fire, it' generates a gas that immediately extinguishes it. The demonstration was an unqualified su Over 800 people saw the exhibition. The tubes cost $3 each.

Woodman presided. At the business meeting James Herbert Burnham of Moor- head, James Reed Hull of Northfleld and Edward Leicester Estabrook were elected companions. General Lucius F. Hubbard read a me- morial expressing the legion's sense of irreparable lOS 3 in the death of Compan- ion Cushman K. Davis. After supper the members of the com- mander)' and their guests listened to a paper by Major William Gerlach, IT. S. A., retired, on the nature and solution of "Our Far Eastern Question." Major Ger- lach's paper was followed with short ad- dresses by General Hubbard, G. S. Ives of St. Peter, commander of the Minnesota department, G. A. R.; D. B. Searles of St. Cloud, Colonel Charles T. Trowbridge and Captain Silas H. Towler of Minneapolis, Colonel Samuel A. Campbell of Maine, Senator Knatvold of Albert Lea, Major R. B. C.

Mr. McCanna was a member of the North Dakota senate for several year 3. His mission here is to complete the program for the big farmers' institute which is to be held at the Devils Lake Chautauqua next season. The committee in charge hopes,' among other things, to obtain an address from President J. J. Hill of the Great North- ern. "Our legislature has just begun the grind," said Mr. McCanna, "and coupled with the news about the row among tlie boys on the slope the Bismarck dispatches from now on ought to be interesting. The slope combina- tion appears to be split straight through, the center. Jewell and Little are on one side of the fence, while Patterson, Allen and Mc- Gillivray are on the other. This may in the end affect the prospects of Senator Hans- brough for re-election, as the trouble occurs right in the camp of his friends. Until this event occurred it looked as if the senator would 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 to see a primary election bill make much head- way. Two years ago it was headed off early and easily and the same people who were against the bill two years ago are against it now. They are in the saddle in the senate. We expect the next Chautauqua at Devils Lake to be an even greater success than the meeting of last year." Merchant Wilson of Durand was in town yesterday making purchases to complete his spring stock. Durand has a gcod territory tributary and Mr. Wilson states that her merchants have good trade prospects for the. coming year. W. G. Smith, merchant and real estate man from Frand Forks, N. D., was at the Nicollet last evening on his way south to spend the winter. He was accompanied by his family. E. S. Lovelace, general dealer at Fort Ran- som, X. D., spent yesterday in Minneapolis on his way to southern Minnesota. Mr. Love- lace was a member of the '97 legislature in North Dakota. lie said that the people of his section of the state were more interested in -what this year was likely to give them in the way of a crop than in politics. The La Cross? Plow company is opening a branch house in Minneapolis, under the management of M. H. Davis, who has been connected with the company for years. The new house is occupying the quarters now be- ing vacated by the Advance Thresher com- pany on Third avenue N, and its travel- ing men are starting out on their year's work. Hitherto their goods have been handled in Minnesota and the Dakotas through jobbers. A. S. Elford of Grand Forks is at the Nicollet on his way east to attend the annual convention of the general agents of the New York Life. "For the life insurance business," said Mr. Elford, "the prospects were none to good during the summer months, but the last four months of the year gave us a big brace and in fact the business of those months in our state was even better than the same months of last year. The change of administration iv North Dakota brings with it a new insurance commissioner. I know of no legislation which the insurance interests desire 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 the early part of the season en account of the stocks carried over by the retail dealers. North Dakota under normal conditions can be depended upon to furnish satisfactory results in the implement business and all that the state needs is a fair crop to make her record good this year. Mayor H. A. Libby of Park River is at tbe Xicollet. The mayor stadted that there \u25a0were some measures of importance to come before the legislature of North Dakota at this session in which the people of the state were deeply interested, although as yet it was hard to determine just what the law-making boay 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 in the progress of the senatorial fight in the Minnesota legislature," said Mr. Libby. "We have none of our own on this year and Min- nesota is looked to for entertainment in that line." "We got a good chunk of immigration last spring," said C. W. Wing of Carring- ! ton, "and our people are beginning to figure i on the ' possibilities in that direction for I t)ie coming year. Politics, immigration and I crop constitute the three main topics of in- I terest to North Dakota people. The Soo line is doing a great deal towards settling the country 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 no worse than those in other sections of the northwest, but they ,believe in being ready I for it. "The Jim River valley is a fine piece I of country," said Mr. Beals, "and her mer- I chants are in good shape. Most all the towns I in that section of the state are growing. An- i other ten years will see big progress in the development of North Dakota." ONE BOUNTY ALREADY PAID. Although the state sugar beet bounty law has been declared unconstitutional, State Auditor Dunn says the state cannot hope to collect hte $20,000 already paid to the Min- nesota, Bet Sugar company in bounties. The courts will hardly hear a suit for its re- covery. I<PTTTVr Friday Evening. *\u25a0 * /JC| Ulf J. * January Uth. The Institute of Arts and Letters Presents a Lecture by Col.

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-:;

Bowman Case Still On.Ida May Bowman, whose abduction by her

brother, last spring, created something ofa sensation, is now in the custody of thecourt at Buffalo, Wyo. Her aunt, MargueriteBowman, who la the little girl's guardian byorder of the probate court of Ramsey coun-ty, has gone there to make another fightThe matter of the guardianship will be heardthis week in the supreme court of the state.

Instead of attacking the divorce calendarall together and getting rid of the nastymess as soon as possible, the default divorcesnave been turned over to the judge in chargeof the court calendar and they will be treatedas other cases. They are set six a day forten days and will be disposed of in theirorder, and if a trial cannot be reached onth6day set, the cases will go over until thenext day. This change in the manner ofhandling the divorce business was proposedby Judge McGee, who will hare charge ofthe court cases this term.

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.

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."

Merchant Wilson of Durand was in townyesterday making purchases to complete hisspring stock. Durand has a gcod territorytributary and Mr. Wilson states that hermerchants have good trade prospects for the.coming year.

W. G. Smith, merchant and real estateman from Frand Forks, N. D., was at theNicollet last evening on his way south tospend the winter. He was accompanied byhis family.

E. S. Lovelace, general dealer at Fort Ran-som, X. D., spent yesterday in Minneapolison his way to southern Minnesota. Mr. Love-lace was a member of the '97 legislature inNorth Dakota. lie said that the people ofhis section of the state were more interestedin -what this year was likely to give themin the way of a crop than in politics.

The La Cross? Plow company is openinga branch house in Minneapolis, under themanagement of M. H. Davis, who has beenconnected with the company for years. Thenew house is occupying the quarters now be-ing vacated by the Advance Thresher com-pany on Third avenue N, and its travel-ing men are starting out on their year's work.Hitherto their goods have been handled inMinnesota and the Dakotas through jobbers.

A. S. Elford of Grand Forks is at theNicollet on his way east to attend the annualconvention of the general agents of the NewYork Life. "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.
