Approved , ApiiMnnoen In Use by Dairymen. St. Paul, girdled and in his best, will welcome the disciples of the lowly bo vine and the aristocratic Jersey this week. Already the clans are gathering, and tomorrow his Saintship, represented by Gov. Van Sant and Mayor Smith, will tender to the officers and members of the National Creamery association the golden keys to the city of St. Paul. Today really is the inaugural occasion, but tomorrow will come the formal open ing of the big buttermakers' convention, when addresses of welcome will be made by the governor and mayor and the-free dom of the city given. Of the 3.0C0 or more delegates expected in the city to attend the big meet, probably 80) have arrived, the larger portion of this num ber making their appearance last night and scattering among the hotels of the city. The big Auditorium, which will be the headquarters of the delegates during the convention, was a beehive of industry yesterday, mechanic and exhibitor alike being engaged in the laudable work of transforming its interior and barn-like aspect into a thing of beauty. The buzz of the. saw and the tattoo of the hammer held forth all through the day and* well into the night, and., the transformation in consequence was remarkable. Under the direction of the Commercial club the walls vvere relieved of their cheerless as pect, by the liberal application of paper, Fix big furnaces were installed, and the rafters and beams hid from view by a ceiling of muslin. The worit yesterday was on behalf of the exhibitors, who were busy Installing their machinery and exhibits in the spaces allotted. MACHINERY HALL, IS FULL. The top gallery, denuded of chairs and reduced to a level, has been set aside as machinery hall, and here spaces have been made for the exhibition of machin ery and inventions identified "with the making of batter. In all probability HO booths have been arranged in the hall and each is occupied. Bunting and col ored muslin hr.s been used in the decora tions and neatness has been secured by making each alike. While a sameness in respect to the booths exists throughout the entire hall, many of the exhibitors have enhanced the effect by electrical display in the shape of signs made of incandescent lamps. The Elgin Butter Tub company, the Sharplcss Machinery company, and Wells. Richardson & Co., manufacturers of batter colors, are prominent in this respect. Yesterday the exhibits were by no means complete, and it. will probably be late tonight before the auxiliary to the big show is fully in stalled. The removal of chairs from the top gallery lias probably reduced the seating capacity to 5,000, but this will be ample. The lower floor was yesterday given n good cleaning and the fires start ed for the purpose of having the building well warmed. On the lower floor the business session of the convention wiil be held and many addresses listened to. Here bunting rtnd flags have been used liber ally ai:«l the effect is pleasing, especially to those who have been accustomed to the rough pillars and unpainted siding of the walls. A big picture of President McKinley hangs just over the large plat form. After their labors of Saturday and the day previous the executive officers now in the city rested yesterday from their labors.^. In -the judges' quarters at the Ryan annex a few- hours was put in during the early morning testing tubs of butter. The amount of butter received is quite formidable, and it will take the judges another two days to complete their work: Among the arrivals yesterday was G. M. Brown, of Washington, who will have charge of 'machinery hall. A number of the state vice presidents and also some of the national officers made their ap pearance and will be on hand today to greet the visitors. Today, which is really the opening day of the convention, will be given over to the reception of delegates and general hand-shaking. The work of the gather ing begins tomorrow, when the pro gramme will be started immediately af ter the parade in the morning. PRIX'ATJTIONS AGAINST FIRE.

Considerable annoyance was caused because of the re moval of decorations which it had taken considerable time and trouble to arrange, but it was necessary and was done, de spite the protests. Elgin, 111., is the big butter center, and the name, emblazoned in big letters, is to be seen in many places throughout Ma chinery hall. Butter machinery of all kinds is made in that city, and the name is generally coupled with the company niaking the display. Among the St. Paul houses catering buttermakers, and who have displays in Machinery hall are Cornish & Co., Fargo & Co. and Cres cent Creamery company.

Rev. A. N. Alcott preached about the spirit of the twentieth century yesterday afternoon at the Church of the Redeem er. The text was, "But can ye not dis cern the signs of the times?" Matthew, xvi., 3. In part, the sermon follows: "While Jesus was once preaching hi<? new conception of God and of religion, the Pharisees and the Sadducees asked Him for a sign of some kind to show them the truth of what He said. The Savior asked them to observe the signa o* the time. The whole world then was pregnant with new ideas and great events. The Romans were mighty and their overshadowing influence was felt by all. Old religions were being forgot ten and new thoughts and new .doctrines were being preached; in short, a new spirit seemed to be creeping over the world. Jesus saw these things, for He ■was not a Savior alone. His statesman's eye could discern what others could not, and it was for this reason that He asked the Pharisees and the Sadducees to ob serve the signs of the times. "In all centuries there are signs of the times. The twentieth century will wit r.ess changes in the religious world that are already beginning to be foreseen by those interested in work for the Al- Mighty on this earth. One of the most striking things evident to all at the present time is that religious people are becoming more tolerant of those who do not believe just as they do. 'Isms' aro losing their force and the word religion is beginning to mean just what it should. I. firmly believe, and many people over the earth believe likewise, that the twen tieth century will be one of the greatest in the history of the world from a re ligious point of view. The time will come when the Universalist will not push this doctrine forward, or the Cath >- lie that doctrine. The Baptist, the Con gregationalist, a member of any sect, will not assert this or that. We, or those who live after us, will not worry about anything ■ save leading a noble, religious life. 'He is a Baptist' or 'she Is a Catholic' will probably not be heard and 'isms' will be dead forever. "It may seem impossible for these things to come about. Many will doubt whether they will come to pass, nut e\ eryone knows that churches, like hu man beings, must work out their de3 tinies. We all know that changes in re ligion come slowly and that there are a thousand and one things which tend to these changes. When the great time has arrived for people to look upon re ligion as it should be they will think mere of how they live, not how they be lieve. This is our fault. We believe and are satisfied with that belief, but we forget to live. A righteous, Christian life means much. "A rich man should not avoid paying his taxes and thus put some of his own burdens upon the backs of others. It is not right. People who have money should not lead wicked lives for that reason, but it seems that many do. "I have been much interested In the Hamilton trial over in Minneapolis. I do not wish to say anything f>>r tho de fense or the state. That is not in my province, but it cannot go unnoticed th;it there was something radically wrong in the West hotel the night of the murder. We hear that everyone was drunk. That was bad, and it went to show that cer tain people were misusing their money. Drink has been the cause of more crimes than anything else. "1 have also been much interested In the doing's of Mrs. Nation. Her battles with the saloonkeepers in Kansas have created excitement all over the country. Things have reached a stage now where revenge is being sought on many sides. Physical violence Is something that ought not to bo recognized, yet Mrs. Nation has done a great and good work. The state of Kansas ought to have its laws f-nforced, and they probably will be be fore long. "The signs of the times are beginning to be noticed. People are looking for freer religion. Many want to lead bet ter lives and let their actions stand fur what they are. The church will during the coming century be the medium of the religion of all and all people will go tc church to be taught how to live from day to day, month to month, year to year, birth to death."

The famous rf^e. <of Paul Revere and his call to the minute men to gather at Lexington square was nothing to the ex citement that an insignificant looking telegram, flashedsfrom 'phone to 'phone, caused among tha saloon men of St. Paul yesterday. It rah thusj Chicago, Feb' 17.' i9ol.—Charles Brenck, Care of Aquarium, St. Paul. Minn.: Mrs. rsation and myself will visit you tonight. —M. Root. Mr. lirenck cast fugitive glances at the door, assured himself that everything was safe and thc-n rushed to a phone where the fated intellipenee was con veyed to a friend with instructions to "fire it along the line." It was 'Tired' * with a vengeance, and in half an hour every cafe proprietor in St I'aul was shivering with fright, while more than one "Jointist" in Minneapolis way quak ing: with fear lest that the Kansas Cy clcne with a hatchet would transfer her scene of aperations to the Flour City. Mrs. Nation was bad enough, but to an nounce her intention of bringing a body guard in the person of Mrs. Root was too much. Mr. Brenck, after keeping an eagle e ye on the door for several weary hours, had begun to ihi:ik that the telegram was. a big joke, ivhen there was a crash or glass and ha rushed trj the front of his place to find ore end of his aquarium subsiding into shimmering bits of glass and the contents, consisting of dozens of speckled brock trout, floundering over the tiled floor. A b1« stream of water gushed from the jasged hole and occu pants of the room rushed from the place In fright Mr. Drench was preparing to make Zov a place oi safety himself, oven though the redoubtible. Carrie was no where in sight, -when a .sprawling form on the fioor slowly unraveled itself before his astonished gaze and asked to ba acquainted with Uia tost.

"Jarrie who?'!: came from the recum bent :orm now picking himself from the floor. "Why, Carrie Nation." "Carrie h , that was me slipped on the floor. It waa -an accident and 1 want to pay the damage. What's th> bill?" It took Mr. Brenck. about half an hour to figure out the bill of damages includ ing a stiff "recuperator" that he had to take ;n sections- in : order to calm his tensioned nerve* As it was a case or "one on me," ;a Wealthy discount for cosh was forthcoming and now one rest dent of the Saintly City thinks there Is something good in Carrie Nation's vagar ies after all. It was an anxious day for saloomsts throughout the city yesterday, and though the famous Carrie failed to make good her promised appearance on the date specified, they haven't got through casting sly glances at the door am? scrutinizing every individual that enters for fear he has a hatchet hid beneath his wearing apparel. Mr. Brenck kept close watch yesterday and last nighi and now he has reached the conclusion that it was a joke. Nevertheless it was a costly one and in consequence all patrons at the Aquarium restaurant will find on the bill of fare today "brook trout, a la mode." SPIRITUALISTS TO MEET HERE.

With several of the provisions of tho tax law declared unconstitutional, and a threatened wholesale overthrow of tax titles, because of the blunder of a Repub lican officeholder, Ramsey county officials are in a quandary at present as to the best method of averting the' calamity that will of necessity cause the depletion of the county treasuries of thousands of dollars and bring endless litigation in or der to correct titles to property purchas ed at tax sales in years gone by. A little less than a month ago Judge Brill handed down an order that virtual ly declared the entire delinquent tax sale of May 4, 1896, null and of no effect, a blunder of ex-Auditor Sullivan being the cause. Judge Lewis followed it with a decision that property sold at a clear ance sale can be redeemed for the price paid, even if It is less than the amount taxed against it, and now comes the de cision of the supreme court, announced last week, giving a quietus to the time honored water frontage tax, from which thousands of dollars have been collected. The two latter decisions were based on irregularities in the framing of the law, while the former was due to carelessness on the part of the official supposed to be versed in the laws framed for Ms guid ance. If the water frontage tax opinion fails to bow to a curative act that will shortly be introduced in the legislature, and Judge Brills opinion on the neglect of ex-County Auditor Sullivan is sustain ed in the supreme court, where it will eventually be carried, Ramsey county will be milked dry and tax titles given a shaking that will call for unending litigation. Hard on its heels is the opin ion of Judge Lewis, which, while not without a drain on the treasury, will not be attended with the disastrous results that come with the other two. BLOT ON SULLIVAN'S RECORD. The decision by Judge Brill, which brings before the public eye one blunder in the official record of Dennis Sullivan, a Republican auditor, who held forth pre vious to the administration of the pres ent auditor, W. R. Johnson, was given on an action to quiet title brought hy Thomas Gould against the Real Estate Title and Insurance Company of Phila delphia, as administrator for August Boyd, deceased, and involved a piece ot tax-burdened property, of value less than $200. The heirs of Boyd demurred to allowing the property to pass out of their possession, and the disclosures made brought to light a state of affairs that called for a decision by Judge Brill practically declaring the tax sj* of TG for taxes delinquent in *9t of no effect. The decision of Judge Brill was based on the carelessness of ex-County Auditor Sullivan, who utterly disregarded the law which demands notice of a tax sale to be made in a daily newspaper for at least twice for two consecutive weeks, the first publication to be no later than fifteen days prior to the date of the pro posed sale. Instead, Mr. Sullivan allow ed the matter to run along until a week before the sale, and then gave it publi cation, seeking to make up for his over sight by giving it six consecutive in sertions, the last insertion being on the day that the sale took place, May 4, 18H6. That provision of the law which pro vides for the proper publication 01 delin quent tax sales is as follows: "The first Monday in May of each year the county auditor shall sell all pieces or parcels of land against which judg ments have been rendered for taxes of the preceding year or years. Before mak ing such sale he shall give notice thereof * * ♦ and by publishing- such notice once in each of two successive weeks, the first notice to be at least fifteen days before the sale, in some daily or weekly newspaper printed in the English lan guage, published in the county where the lands are situated. The section is too plain for oversight, and this led Judge Brill in his decision to refer rather bluntly to the error made by Mr. Sullivan. The two decisions given by the lower court technically have bearing only on one piece of property, but an opening has been made, and the rent will natu rally be widespread. County Auditor Johnson is authority for the statement that, if sustained by the supreme court, Ramsey county will lose not les3 than $50,000. The county has let go of the first installment, accruing from t!-« Sulli van decision, about |200, and more is ex pected to follow. Curative acts are being talked of, and an effort will probably be made to have bills introduced in the legislature reduc ing the liability that the county is now threatened with. This liability is in the refunding of money and interest on the same from old tax sales. In every in stance it means 10 per cent on the orig inal purchase, and this must be paid un der the decisions, if the tax titles are attacked. In reference to the water frontage tax decision the corporation attorney is now preparing to ask the court for a rehear ing. A general meeting of "the officials will be called the early part of tho week for the purpose of considering the im pending calamity. Kleetlon at SinHetoii. STSSETON. S. D..

TO CURE THE GRIP. Advice of a Famous Phyaiclau. First and foremost, R7<3ST. Take care of yourself. Tour already weakened nerves want rest, and nvjst have it. If the attack is severe, go to bed and remain there. More fatalities result from the neglect of this precau tion than from any other cause. Eat sparingly. Your digestive organs are in no condition to take care of large quantities cf food. Drink plenty of pure, cold water. It allays the fever, stimulates the kidnsys to action and opens up the pores of the skin. Keep the bowels open with Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills.

The case of Frank HamQton, charged with the murder of Leonard R. Day in j the billiard room of the West hotel on j the morning of Nov. 25, will probaoly t»-o I to the jury sometime this evening. Satur- j day afternoon the prosecution concluded i its rebuttal testimony and the matter of subrebuttal will be determined this morning. Should there be no testimony of this kind introduced then County At torney Boardman will begin his closing address to the jury. It is expected he will conclude by noon and then Frank M. Nye will proceed to sum up for the defense. At the conclusion of Mr. Nyc's address Judge Brooks will charge the jury, which will then retire. If the case is completed tonight it ] will have lasted exactly thirteen days, : of which five were spent in the selection j of a jury. There were 113 men exam- : ined before the necessary twelve were ! found. The case has been remarkable for the good feeling shown on both sides. Tt«?te ! has been an absence of the browbeating ! of witnesses which has not infrequently j marked important trials. The attorneys ■ have been courteous t<j one another and to the witnesses and have shown a dis- ! position to elicit the facts regardless of the consequences. County Att-misy ! Boardman and his assistant, Mr. Smith, i have conducted tho case in an admirable ; manner and Messrs. I'enney and Nye j for the defense have be^en highly com plimented for the manner in which they i have handled the "interests of their cli- | ent. Hamilton talks eagerly with his friends j about the trial and discusses every mor- ! sel of the testimony and its probable I effect on the minds of the jurors as cool- j ly as if some other person and not him- j self was vitally concerned in the verdict. Apparently the thought that the jury j may convict him has never been seri- i cusly entertained by the young man. He j hopes for an acquittal and speaks conil- j dently of breathing the air of freedom j again before many days. He does Invod ] a disagreement, because it will mean that i his Imprisonment will be continued many ' weeks longer. He was very cheerful yesterday after noon and laughed and joked with the friends who came to greet him. The con versation ranged over a variety ot' sub jects, but always drifted back to the one chief tnpic in which those present were i most interested. Hamilton has plenty of j reading matter and is provided wi'.h mcr.t of the late novels. He has not made a practice of reading the daily papers. ••Failing to find relief from the grip with old methods, I took Dr. Miles' Pain Pills, Nervine and Nerve and .Liver Pills and was permanently cured."—Gust.
