Complete Programme for the Cleveland Club's Banquet Tonight Another Byrnes Note Which Tim's Father Says He Never Indorsed. Louis Webbar's Wife Wants Divorce— and Trusts. The formation wafted from Wash inirton yesterday {is to the boon fur Palmer and Flower as the Democratic national ticket bore fruit in Minneapo lis yesterday. It set those men who look upon both Cleveland and Hill as impossibilities to work. Their work materialized last night in a meeting in the eflice ot M. W. Meagher, in the Wright block. There a Palmer and Flower Democratic club was organized. The club starts oat with a membership of only seventeen names, but all the members who attended the meeting stated that they could find hundreds of men in the city who would like to loin just such a club. They predict that the Palmer and Flower boom will assume great proportions before the meet! of the national convention in Chicago, The leading spirit of the club is M. W. Meagher, who, although he lias been prominently work ing in the interest of men who were avowed Cleveland supporters, has had his doubts about Cleveland being the proper man to nominate. in the county convention be was an en thusiastic supporter of and a hard worker for Major Winston. Air. Meagher is, however, somewhat of an independent. The officers *of the Palmer and Flower club are: Presi dent, M. W. Meagher; vice president. J. Montague Quigley; secretary and treasurer, Panton Sliearin. For the present the quarters of the new or ganization will be in Meagher 's office, in the Wright block. The programme for the banquet of the Cleveland club tonight at the West In honor of the natal day or Thomas .Jefferson is completed. It will be found that It embraces representative Demo crats of the Northwest and Minneapolis among* the speakers. All of the speak ers will be limited to ten minutes, with the exception of C. 8. Darrow, of Chi cago, who, as the speaker of the even ing, will have at his disposal a full half hour in which to do justice to tlie mer its of Graver Cleveland. The following is the programme: F. C.

Bull on a Note Which IIIh Father Deniea Having Indorsed. Among the cases on the calendar of the district court for tomorrow is the case of (Jollied Averson against Tim othy K. Byrnes. The suit is brought to recover on a promissory note. it is for 15,000, and was for a supposed short age on logs. Byrnes claims that he afterwards discovered that the logs were up to measurement and demanded the return of the note, but could not get it back, hence- the suit to recover I nun him. To make the case compli cated, the note is indorsed by Daniel Byrues, Tim's father, but the old iren tlemau denies ever having indorsed the paper, although his name is there. It is hardly possible that it will i>e tried tor some time, as Tim is at present out of the city. A DIVORCE NOW. Another Chapter in the Mr. and Mrs. Webber Romance. There is another chapter in the Louis Webber matter. Mrs. Webber has in stituted proceedings for divorce against her husband, and in her complaint she charges him with cruel and inhuman treatment. The divorce proceedings are instituted by' a local legal firm, and when the "case is ready for trial the dashing Mrs. Webber will return to the city and face the husband she ran away from. The little child, taken away by Mrs. Webber, has been returned, through the influence of police authorities who know of the recreant wife's where abouts, and yesterday was with its lather. Mr. Webber, it is understood, will bring a counter suit against his wife and endeavor to secure the decree himself. He stated to a GLOBE reporter. however, that the whole matter would lie dropped, and that his wife's suit airainsi himself would never come to trial. THE GROCERS' TRUST. Another Man Who Frowns on Combinations. The cry of trust has again been raised in connection with the Minneapolis lie tail Grocers' association. At the last meeting of the association the bylaws were so amended that the portion of stock held by any one grocer can, If he withdraws, be turned into a general fund from which the other grocers can draw it. That is part of the Droceedure of other combinations. Hut the trouble in this case arises over the bread agree ment. At a recent meeting of the asso ciation an agreement was signed be tween the bakers and grocers, by virtue of which the bakers sell to the grocers sixteen loaves of bread for a dollar, and the grocers retail it for live cents a loaf. 11. G. Koth, one of the largest grocers in the city, refuses to accept the agree ment, and gives his reasons for so doinir thus: "~ "1 refused to sign this this agreement because 1 considered it a boycott, which 1 didn't believe in. lam selling bread costing me Z)i cents at 4 cents per loaf. The grocers demand that 1 sell it at 5 cents, and order my baker to charge roe 5 cents per loaf until 1 agree to sell it at 5 cents. My baker is willing and satisfied that 1 should sell the bread at 4 cents, but has found it policy to obey their commands. 1 am in sympathy with the baker, and lie with me, but as a matter of policy he complied with the demand of the Retail Grocers' associa tion," The grocers have been paying three , cents a loaf for their bread, and many of them have had to sell tor the same price, Bence the combination. Mr. Roth says he will continue the war un til the association comes to terms. The Northwest Trade, In , its current issue, evidently anticipating some such com plaint as" has been made, has this to say about combinations: "The retailer today stands between two fires. The trust, the corporation, the mutual agreements of importer, manufacturer and jobber on one hand Increase his expenses and lessen his chances ol success; and on the other, a system of credit dealing, with its en evitable perceutege of losses, writs to engulf him.

The retailers must asso ciate or perish. The retailer must adapt himself to the condition of his age, or be swept away by forces as sure, piti less, silent and resistless as the current of a deep river above a cataract." The rest of the article is given up to arguments to show that combining is the spirit of tlie age, andthatsn/all con cerns are every day being crowded to the wall. The Minnesota Loan and Trust Co. Allows 5 per cent interest on six-months deposits. ROASTS KLIOT. Hon. J. W. Wumplrr Say* Mor nioiiH Are Low and Illiterate. President Eliot, of Harvard college, Mas been catching it all over the country because of the "taffy" he spread over the Mormons when he visited Utah recently. The latest criticism of Eliot's remarks comes from a Minneapolis man who is well acquainted with Utah and the Mormons. Hon. .1. W. Wumpler, now a resident of Minneapolis, used to be on the bench in I'ta'i. In that position he became well acquainted with the .Mormon characteristic!!. In talking about Utah yesterday he said: "When President Eliot was in Utah lit; Wai wined and dined on several oc casions. Naturally, he was inclined to have warm feelings toward the people who had to royally entertained in. That was what actuated him to speak ;ts be did, without a doubt. He proba bly said things that he did not mean or would not have said had he been better acquainted with ins subject. When he undertakes to advocate state hood for Utah it is time lor all true, loyal American citizens to be heard. To consider statehood for I tab for a moment is an absurdity. The Mormons can outvote the Gentiles by 10.000 at least. That means that every office in Utah would be occupied by a Mormon. They are, as a rule, a low and illiterate class of peo ple and utterly incapable of managing official affair*, that is, the mass of them. The elders, or course, are men of educa tion, and they would carry things as they might desire. They do not want to see Mormonlsm die, as it would deprive them of their influence, so the whole power of the state would be employed in keeping it and polygamy alive. It is much better to leave Utah a territory and let the government appoint the of ficials." • , FOR THE L.I IKS. Rooms Kitted Up for Them to Do Committee Work in. The ladies of the convention recep tion committee met yesterday afternoon at convention headquarters to begin plans for their part ot the work of look ing after the convention visitors. The. ladies expected to find just an ordinary committee room with plain hard chairs and bare Boor. Instead they discovered that the rooms set aside for them had been furnished and decorated in the most sumptuous manner. The rooms look more like a parlor than like a room where women congregate for business. Thecelllu^s are frescoed, and the walls covered with pictures, In cluding a portrait of Mrs. G rover Cleve land. Yesterday the air was heavy with the perfume of Mowers which the florists of the city had sent out of com pliment to the ladies. The ladles'sec tion of the reception committee is made up as follows: Mewlamea 11. F. Brown, P. B. Winston, 3. P. Snider, T. B. Walter. W. K. Hankell. J. b. I'lllsbiiry, I). Morrison, Samuel Hill. F. 1.. <;reenleaf. It. l*. Langon, Thomas Lowry, W. 1). Wa-iliburn, A. J. Hit-then, ». 11. knight, K. O. Hay. Yesterday the discussion of the ladies was general in character. They have not come to details on their plans yet CAN'T FIN PKARL, But Judge Corrigun Ordered Her Committed. An interesting case was up in the pro bate court yesterday afternoon. A tew days ago Chairman Coburu and M. W. Nash, of the board of county commis sioners, made a petition to the court to have Pearl Kleiner committed to the state public school at Owatonna. It was claimed that the child's mother, Mis.M. A. Bishop, was not a tit person to. have the care and custody of tin: child, and thai .she bore a very poor reputation in the neighborhood of where she lived at 258 Sixth avenue south. A summons was served on her to be in court when the case was called, with the child, but she failed to put in an appearance, and it was found that thu child had not been Been since the order was made. A num ber of witnesses were examined, and considerable testimony was given ad verse to Mrs. Bishop. The court ordered that Pearl be committed to the school. It Is doubtful if the order will be carried out very soon, as it is thought that the mother has spirited the little one away. The sheriff is now looking for her to carry out the order of the court. BNYDEIt IS VICTOR. He Did No ''Damage to a Woman Who Wanted Help. In 1801 Mary K. llarrold was incarce rated in the police station over night on the order of C. L. Snyder, city superin tendent of the poor department. This she considered a degradation and a damage to her character, notwithstand ing that she is seventy-two years of age. She brought suit against Mr. Snyder for $10,000 damages. It appears that she was poor and destitute, and as there was no other place where she could be taken the superintendent decided to take her to the station, being prompted by a desire to help her all in his power. he case was called late yesterday after noon before Judge Canty in the main courtroom. There was a laree number of Interested spectators present, and the opening addresses of the attorneys were closely followed. The suit is an ex ceptional one, and on that account is being closely watched by a large num ber. The trial lasted less than two hours, a verdict being returned in favor of Mr. Snyder. • Corrections and Charities. At a meeting of the board of correc tions and charities yesterday afternoon Dr. G. K. Smith made -an' offer' to intro duce his cure for alcoholism and the opium habit into the workhouse. He offered to cure a stipulated number of persons at #10 each. The proposition will be considered by the board before | before any action is taken, in the mat ter. The' college hospital building and site at the corner of Ninth avenue south and Sixth street was offered to the board tor a city hospital. The prop osition was placed on - rile. Miss Mc- Guire, who is acting as temporary ma tron of the workhouse, will remain there. The board decided not to make a regular appointment, but to allow her to remain in the position for the time being. Nels Lindquist was appointed guard, vice Goss, resigned. Two Fires, One Building. The occupants of the Barton block, 9 Washington avenue north, had another scare eaily yesterday morning. An alarm was turned in from them at .-> o'clock, the lire being in the cutting room of the Swinburne Printing com pany, on the fourth floor, the same place where lire 'caught Monday night. The blaze proved a lively one, and at one time it looked as though Temple Court would catch fire. Brisk work on the part of the fire department, however, prevented any more than, $700 damage.' £500 to the building and $200 to the printing • company's paraphernalia. The cause of the fire is net known, though Mr. Swinburne thinks it was oc casioned by rats gnawing watches. Lake Harriet Pavilion Suit. J. H. Clementson and Emil Leege leased the pavilion at Lake Harriet for i I next cummer from the street railway I company for $1,500. I? was aereed that each was to put in one-half of the amount, but Letrge has commenced pro ceedings to have a receiver appointed, claiming that he put in £X) 0 and that Constamine failed to put up his share. The money ail passed through the lat ter's hand-*, and he thinks that there 19 something wrong, Conslantlne refuses to sell out until be has been paid 175", claiming that there Is over $200 in out standing bills. A receiver and account ing is asked for. Democratic Kncceos Did It. The suit of J. R. Snow, of Boston, to recover $2,800 from '/.. Demeules was considered yesterday before Judge Smith and jury. In IKK), after the Dem ocratic successes in this state, Snow | was induced to send a consignment of i lemons valued at 14,000 to Demeules. He claims that he was induced to do so by the report of Dun and liradstreet's agencies, and accounts which he had heard of this place through the election. Joe Jepsou was also said to be one of the promoters of the scheme. However, when the returns came to be made, it was found that there was a shortage of some 12,800, and suit was commenced for this amount. The jury found a verdict In favor of the plaintiff in the full amount, with interest. Does Peterson Delay Them? The grand jury was not in session yesterday morning, but met at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. There i-> considerable speculation as to what is occupying their attention at the present time. It is known that ail of the regular cases from the municipal court have been dis posed of as well as several other mat ters of public interest. The general opinion seems to be that the jury is about to take up the Peterson matter, although as far as known no witness has been called who could throw any light on the workings of the office. It was thought that they would be ready to report yesterday afternoon, but up to the hour of adjourning there was no in dication that they would report until to day. An Old Citizen Gone. I). C. Allen, an old and respected cit izen, of Minneapolis, died yesterday afternoon at bis residence, 2309 Fourth avenue north, the cause of death being valvular disease of the heart. Mr. Allen had been ill for several months, and, while his death had been expected, it came rather suddenly yesterday. He leaves a wife and three children. His son, A. E. Allen, is Oust deputy clerk of the municipal court. The funeral, which occurs today, will be of a private nature. in- Libel Suit. The 10,000 libel suit ot Joseph Chen eveny against Joseph Kopecky is down on the calendar tor tomorrow.

Proposition to Krduce Tariff, Chicaco to SeaboarU. ; Chicago. April 12.— When the freight representatives of the Central Traffic association met in regular session to day they were confronted by a question that was not down on the docket for consideration at 'this meeting. This was a proposition to reduce the rate on irniin from ChiOsTO to the seaboard. itttf opinion so generally expressed two months ago that, in view of the in creased tonnage this year, it would be possible to maintain winter tariffs 1 throughout the summer on east-bound tr;irt:e has already been controverted. For >sereral weeks it has been appa- I rent that some of the roads were shad , ing train rates, and thereby securing an undue proportion of the business. The conservative lines hesitated to meet these secret cut . hoDinsr mat the guilty ■ ones might be reclaimed and demoral j ization averted; but this hope has been dashed to the ground by the action of the lake and rail lines in openly an nouncing a rate of 17 '■ A cents per 100 pounds on grain from Chicago to the seaboard. This Is UK cents below the aprt-ed differential, and will force the all rail routes to make a similar reduc tion unless they are willing to turn over the wnole business to the boat line*. The matter was only informally dis cussed at today's session and then, with ail the other subject.* awaiting consid eration, it was referred to one of the various committees to be reported open tomorrow. Tne association will prob ably be in session two more days, and ' there is little doubt that before the ad journment it will be voted to reduce the Strain rate from 25 to 20 cents per 100 pounds, Chicago to the seaboard. . TRUNK LINK TARIFFS. Presidents Arc Pledged to Main tain Them. Nhu V(.HK, April 12.— The presidents of lines comprising the Trunk Line association met in this city today and discussed east and west-bound freight rates. There were present: Chauncey M. Depew.

On account ol the early opening of navigation these rates have not been strictly maintained within the past month. All the representatives present pledged themselves to maintain the tariff rates, which are on the basis of 75 cents for first-class by rail and 54 by rail and lake between New York ami Chi cago. TO FIGHT IT OUT. No Indication or Quit tine by Chi ca£o«Ohlo River Linen. Chicago, April Apparently there i - no intention on the part of any of the lines engaged in the passenger rate war between Chicago and the Ohio river to give up the light. On the con trary, chert' seems to be an inclination to force tbe iigntinr, as was shown in an, announcement made today that a reduction of rates will go into effect April 15. Kates between Chicago and Indianapolis on that dale will be re duced from 13.65 to *:*.">() and those be tween Chicago and Louisville and Culcajro and Cincinnati from ft; to 15.90. The Pennsylvania took;the initiative in 1 this f resii cut by reducing the rate from 1 Indianapolis to Chicago.
