THIS SETTLES ALL OOTBRIR OF POLITICIANS MAKE A SLATK AT TUB) WINDSOR HOTEL. DAN SHELL FOR GOVERNOR? IT IS GIVE* OUT THAT HE WILL i.i-:\i» tin: KKPHBIiICAN HOSTS. J. 11. JOKES FOR Si:<OM> PIiACB, While r..i. K. Smith, of Hcinioplii, lei Smkcil to the Attorney (ieiierulship. There was a suspicious gathering of politicians at the Windsor last evening. Some of them were on the registers, but some of them were not. Some of those who were registered were not at the meeting. John Goodnow, consul general to Shanghai, was over early in the morning, and it is just possible that John had a Chinese laundry ticket cipher code working with the meeting of the evening, although he was not present himself. There were some Min neapolis people over beside John. There were Steve Lovejoy, who was chair man of railroads in the house last year, and who was, perhaps, as closely in the confidence of Speaker Jones as any one in the house, unless it was Dan Shell, who vanished from the speaker ship contest in time to beat Joe Un derleak, of the First district, who want ed it, with Jones. Dan was at the meeting, too. Mr. Jones was there him self. Simon Meyers was another of the MinneapoUtans present, and E. K. Smith was the third. Capt. Converse, the state military storekeeper, and ex-United States Marshal H. R. Den ny were also members of the party, while Capt. C. V. Whitney, the state expert printer, was at times suspi ciously close to the members of the ex ecutive gathering. Henry Feig was there, too. At the close of the conference it was given out to a Globe reporter that the sentiment of the meeting was that Dan Phell should be nominated for governor to conciliate the Second dis trict, which did not get much last time; that Speaker Jones should be promoted to the presidency of the senate, and Ed Smith for attorney general, while the auditor, treasurer and secretary of state would be permitted to hold their present positions in safety. There was an evident desire, how ever, on the part of the conferrees to have that slate printed, which throws some doubt on the actuality of its adoption in fact. Indeed, the personnel of the meeting shows that if the meet ing was not accidental, it was prompt ed by the desire of the members pres ent to take defensive rather than of fensive action. There are gubernatorial candidates galore, and these men know it. Not all of the men present at last night's meeting want to be governor, at least not next term, but none of them want to be lost sight of in the whirl of the political roulette wheel, and they want to have the management of the wheel two years hence themselves. . . .„: The launching of the Rice boom for governor has stirred up more than one., derby under which has been a political bee. The nomination of Rice for gov ernor would mean the retirement ot Speaker Jones, practically. No party would dare give the northern part of the sitate. for Rice is considered a Northerner, both governor and lieu tenant governor, and Mr. Jones would not be content with any place short ot the lieutenancy. It is true he could probably be re-elected from his own district, but it is not so sure that ho could regain the speakership. He wants Gibbs' scalp. He does not feel bloodthirsty about it. Indeed, Mr. Jones is net the only one who feels that, barring some possible aeident of geo graphy, or some shrewd political mani pulation by the lieutenant governor's fidus Achates. Theodoric V. Knatvold. Mr. Gibbs is as dead politically now, as he was at the end of the famous three-corner: d fight of a few campaigns ago. It is true that at that time he did not stay dead, and his marked recu perative powers have caused some anxiety as to his present seemingly comatose condition. Some of the mpre skeptical politicians are of the opinion that Mr. Gibbs may be "playing pos sum," and that the troubles into which he was cast last winter were merely scenes in a great political drama, in which he was starring with Prime Minister Knatvold as stage manager. But the school which considers Gibbs a dead one, wants the governorship north of the cities. Jones, of L,ong Prairie, answers that geographical qualification. He proved unexpectedly strong in the last speakership canvass. Whether he has gained or declined sir.cc. is one of those uncertainties which lend half the fascination to a political contest. But the southern part of the state, which controls the Republican con vention, unless the north combines with or dictates to the cities, is not as stuck on J. D. Jones as it is on Abraham Lincoln, and some other statesmen. Shell is personally popu lar. The Underleak faction was some what piqued at Shell's conduct in the fight for the speakership, but it is be lieved that the diplomatic way. in which the Nobles county representa tive carried himself through the actual session did much to smooth over the ruffled places. Shell's position on the issues which tore up the session were never belligerent. He voted on one side or the other, but not without convincing: those whom he voted against that he had abundant reason for his action, however he might hate to differ with friends. Particularly was this position apparent in the bit terness cf the Anoka-Hastings fight. As a Henry Clay, aiming to smooth the troubled waters, Shell is an his torical tableau. The fact that Henry- Clay was not elected president, how ever, does not strongly boost the quo tations for pacificators as guberna torial timber. E. E. Smith's candidacy for attor ney general is the other place on the ticket which the slate given out pro vided for. It has been whispered for months that Gov. Clough, while he might like children, did not like Chllds Steve Lovejoy is pretty pally with the governor. They can both say the Zuhrah Temple roster forward and back. They have other ties. Simon Meyers and Steve are almost as close Economy In medicine means most curative power for your money. One hundred closes one dollar is peculiar to and true only of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and is conclusive evidenca of economy and strength.

Tim is nut supposed to be an ardent Gibbs man. lini, too, is supposed to be as strong with Clough as any one in the senate. Tim's district was one of the bulwarks of the Clough defense last fall. The governor credits Tim with being a pretty good ship carpenter, too, when it comes to bulwarks. So while all the gentlemen at last night's meeting were friendly to each other, and none of them can be said to be antl-tho present admiaijstijdtion, it is hardly to be presumed that they came down to St. Paul committed to any such slate as was given out last night this early. It is far more I'probable1 'probable that their conference w*s to -plan defensive rather than offensive measures. The Minne apolis men figure that when the Mill City surrenders the governorship in 1899, they may get some smaller plums in exchange. .. fThtf Jones-Shell-LovejDy machine wants to keep its eye on the Rice boom, and the Berg boom, and the Gibbs boom, if the last named shows any s4^ns 'of galvanization.

CAUGHT IN THE COKIUDOHS. Brief Clint* Wltli Some of St. I'aul'n YiMltOl-M. C. R. Ainsworth, a prominent lumber man of Mo-bile, was at the Merchants yesterday. Mr. Alnsworth says that there has been a decided improvement in lumbering circles, and he looks for ward to a good fall's business. The duty on lumber will not only have a tendency to shut out Canadian com petition, but business in general is picking up. Like most everything else, this industry depends upon the farmers in large measure for support, and the indications are that the farmers will do considerable building this fall. J. E. Booge, of Sioux City, a man well known throughout the Northwest, was at the Ryan yesterday. He con templates a trip to Alaska in a few days.

John G. Nelson, of Stiilwa/ter, ex suiveyor general of logs and lumber, was in the city yesterday. He reports that there has been a decided improve ment in the leg market, but that the St. Croix boom has no«t been running for four weeks, and all the loggers are becoming ju?t a little impatient for their logs, which are thus tied up. The boom will probably be started up Monday, however/ and there will be about 200.000,000 feet of logs to come through. W. S.

The Spink dog case was decided in favor of the plaiftiff by Justice Mills yesterday, though the decision does not affect the city ordinance providing for the licensing of dogs. In his find ings Justice Mills has avoided involv ing the ordinance and confines himself to the restoration of Mr. Spink's canine on the issue at stake in the manner in which the dog was taken from its owner. The justice says: The court finds fhat the dog in the ques tion was not running at large at the time it was taken by the defendants, nor was it thereafter kept in the public pound, accord ing to the law. Upon such findings the judg ment of the court , is that the property de scribed in the writ to-wit, one brown Irish spaniel male dog, belongs to the plaintiff. That the plaintiff have immediate possession thereof and that if the said dog cannot be ob tained, that plaintiff recover from the de fendants, and each of them, the value thereof, to-wit, $100 and the costs of the suit. The action was a replevin suit insti tuted by F. H. Spink to recover pos session of his dog. which was seized by Dogcatcher James Kelly on the streets while the animal was out for an airing with its master. Mr. Spink claimed he had paid a personal tax upon the dog and that he could not therefore be compelled to pay the special tax levied, vpon all dogs by ei!,actment of the city council. He se cured his pet by writ of replevin, after the animal had been kept in hiding in some other place than the public | pound, and is now legally in possession j of the dog, though he has not paid the license. Mr. Spink declares he will not pay the license prescribed by the city ordinance, and so far as he is concerned the matter is at an end. The police department, however, will, it is said, carry the action to a con clusion by lodging complaint against Mr. Spink under the ordinance and j bring him into the municipal court, where upon conviction of keeping an unlicensed dog, he will be subject to a fine of $25. Should this course be pur sued the validity" of the ordinance can ! be attacked by an appeal to the dis trict court. For \lnnkn. There are still Chances to go to the Gold Fields this year. A. E.

SPHEKKER SHOWS SIGNS OP EXCITEMENT ON THE WITNESS STAND. COURT TOOK A BRIEF RECESS. RECITAL OK HIS CONNECTION WITH THE AM.EMANNIA ALMOST UP SET THE PRBSIDRMT. WHOLE STORY LAID BAKE MY HIM. SajH All of Hlm Property* Income, Etc., Went In to Help the Institution. Albert Scheffer took the witness stand yesterday in his own defense. As predicted by the Globe, the court declined to dismiss the case on mo tion of the defense. The state rested just before the noon recess. When court convened at 2 p. in., Gen. Clapp, counsel for the defense, moved for a dismissal of the case on the ground that the state had not proved the lar ceny of $11,000 charged in the indict ment. In support of his motion Gen. Clapp read at length from the decision of tho court in the case of the state against ex-City Treasurer Kortg-aard, of Min neapolis. In that case the court enun ciated the principle that to convict the defendant it was necessary to show that he had full control of the funds of the bank, whereas, the testimony of Cashier Barnett had clearly shown that Col Soheffer had nothing to say regard ing the discounting of his paper, but that everything was left to the discre tion of the discount committee, which did not include Col. Scheffer. In opposing the motion to dismiss. Assistant County Attorney Zollman contended that Col. Scheffer, while not in full control of the funds and affairs of the bank, still possessed concurrent authority and was to that extent re sponsible for the conduct of its affairs. Mr. Zollman also insisted that the tes timony adduced by the state ought to go to the jury. The argument of the motion to dis miss consumed little over an hour. At its conclusion, Judge Bunn denied the motion, and the court took a recess for fifteen minutes, after which Attorney Nelson opened the case for the defense. In his address to the jury Mr. Nelson traced the history of the Allemannia bank, giving an account of its out growth from the Commercial Bank of St. Paul, and of Col. Scheffer's connec tion with the Commercial bank. Mr. Nelson declared that with all of his indebtedness to the Allemannia bank, Col. Scheffer never received a cent more than $10,000. He explained how the overdrafts came to be made by Mr. Scheffer for the purpose of paying the taxes, fire insurance and assessments on the property and premiums on life insurance policies he had turned over to the Local Investment company as collateral for his indebtedness to the bank. Had Mr. Scheffer not paid all these there would not have been any overdrafts. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Nelson's opening address, he conferred with Gen. Clapp for a few moments and then calkd the defendant to the witness stand. Col. Scheifer stepped forward with alacrity. .He seemed eager to tell his story to the jury. Being sworn, he proceeded, giving his testimony distinctly and concisely at first. But, growing nervous as his financial re verses were inquired into, his voice and demeanor betrayed excitement, es pecially when he took occasion to mak> a sarcastic comment upon the grand jury that indicted him. Judge Lewis noted the agitated manner of Col. Scheffer, and announced that the court would take a recess for five minutes. According to Col. Scheffer's testimo ny, he gave everything he had, save the money necessary to support his family, to the bank to secure his in debtedness. Mr. Scheffer said that he first came to St. Paul in 1860, went to the war in 1862, returned to St. Paul in 1566, and had lived here ever since. Mr. Seheffer related the history of the organization of the Commercial National bank in 1887, and the subsequent organization of the Commercial bank under the statt law. The capital stock of the Com mercial bank was $500,000. The Com mercial bank closed its doors in April, 1892. but reopened them in September of that year, when the capital stock was scaled down to $400,000. Col. Schef fer owned a little over $100,000 of the capital stock of the Commercial bank when it closed its doors. Seventy per cent of this was cancelled, and, when the bank reopened in September, 1892, Col. Scheffer purchased $40,000 worth of the new stock, making the whole amount of stock owned by him at the reopening $70,000. Col. Scheffer said that his direct indebtedness to the Commercial National bank in 1800 was $10,000. His indorsements amounting to $30,000 were purely accommodation indorsements. When the bank reop?ned in 1892, Col. Scheffer said that he assumed an in debtedness to the bank of about $25. --000, for which he was not legally re sponsible, and for which he had re ceived no pecuniary benefit. The Local Investment company was organized, Col. Scheffer said, about three months after the reopening of the bank. The purpose was to use tho company as a vehicle or receptacle for his securities for collateral pur poses. The capital stock of the com pany issued to him was $50,000. Col. Scheffer said that his homestead alone was considered worth $150,000. It was transferred to the Local Investment company, subject to a mortgage for $25,000. Col. Scheffer also transferred to the company his $40,000 worth of stock in the bank, twenty-seven lots in Gotzian's addition, a farm in West St. Paul that cost over $19,000 and sev eral houses and sundry stocks and bonds. Col. Scheffer said that he turned over to the bank the $50,000 of stock in the Local Investment company as collateral The notes of the company, Col. Schef fer endorsed. Col. Scheffer testified that not a dol lar of the $40,000 paid by him for the new bank stock came from the bank. He raised $25,000 by mortgaging his homestead, $10,000 his wife furnished, and $5,000 came from outside sources. The Northwestern Security Invest ment company was organized two years later to buy assets of the German Fire Insurance company, for which $30,000 was paid and $IS,OOO more for putting them into proper shape, and the whole Dr. Lyon's PERFECT Tooth Powder AN ELEGANT TOILET LUXURY, Used by people of refinement for over a quarter of a century.

Scheffer was the vice president and secretary of the Local Investment company, and looked after its affairs. "Did you use any of the money you obtained as salary from the Hauser Malting company and other sources to pay these charges on your securities?" "I had a salary of $3,500 from the Hauler Malting company, $4,000 from the bank and was in receipt of $3,000 a year for three years for my services in looking after the purchase of the claims against the St. Paul German Fire Insurance company. I used all of this income for a period of three years, in paying the charges on my securities with the exception of the modest sum expended in the support of my family." Here Col. Scheffer, who was gradual ly Incoming more nervous, betrayed unmistakable signs of going to pieces under the strain. In answer to a sub sequent question concerning certain of his transactions, he answered: "I made the transfer to give the grand jury of Ramsey county some thing to do." "Now as to your life insurance poli cies, how much did they aggregate?" At this point it was so apparent that Col. Scheffer's emotion was about to overcome him, that Judge Lewis an nounced that the court would take a five minute recess. After the recess. Col. Scheffer, who had regained his composure, resumed the stand and continued his testimony. He said that he had turned over to the bank directly life insurance policies ag gregating $36,000. The premiums there on; amounting to $1,250 per annum, were paid by Col. Schoffer. All this Ccl. Scheffer said, was done volun tarily by him. It was his own proposi tion. Here Mr. Nelson introduced a letter from Col. Scheffer to Cashier Barnet.t in which he assigned all his securities to the bank as collateral for his in debtedness to the bank. The box al luded to in the letter contained the $40,000 new stock, some life insurance policies and sundry bonds and mort gages. This assignment was made prior to the organization of the Local Investment company. Afterwards Col. Scheffer transferred everything to the Loral Investment company and subse quently transferred the assets of tho German Fire Insurance company to the Northwestern Security Investment company. At this point court adjourned until 9:30 a. m. today. When court opened in the forenoon. Cashier Barnett was recalled to the stand for cross-examination by the de fense. Nothing important in addition to the testimony of the witness given the day before was elicited by either side. Paul Hauser Jr., of the Hauser Malt ing company, being called again by the state, testified that the drafts drawn by Col.

Maria Winker appeared before Judge p.unn in his chambers yesterday by virtue of an order for her to show cause why she should not turn over to Arthur P. Lothrop, the receiver of her property appointed last January, $661 in cash and the proceeds of a two seated carriage, or be punished for con ttmpt of court. Considerable testimony was taken. It appeared that in Jan uary, a few days prior to the appoint ment of Receiver Lothrop, that Mrs. Winker collected $661 on a promissory \ rote payable to her and signed by the Columbia Shoe company, but failed to schedule the amount and turn it over to the receiver. Mrs. Winker's defense was that, upon collecting the , note, she turned over the proceeds to i her son. William J. Winker, and, there- ! fore, did not have the money in her j possession at the time the receiver was . appointed. Judge Bunn signed an order requiring Mrs. Winker to turn over the $661 and the $20 received from the sale of the carriage, to Receiver Lothrop, within | thirty days.
