A desire on the part of a suitor that his girl should know nothing of a de posit of $350 in a savings bank, and the advice of a whilom, but trusted friend, by which that deposit is sup posed to have disappeared, were in terestingly disclosed before Judge Hfne in the trial of a suit brought by Harry Arkofsky against the German- American bank. Harry Arkofsky, a tailor and re pairer, and plaintiff in the suit, upon the witness stand, told the story of his loss. By hard labor he had accumu lated $350. He.and "his girl," as he expressed it, already had a deposit of $60 in a local bank, and Arkofsky, de siring to surprise her, decided to keep his $350 deposit a secret. To Harry Sachs, a friend of a week's acquaintance, -with whom ne often played an occasional game of pool, he confided his desire. Sachs advised him, he told the court, to put the deposit in somebody else's name. Suggests His Own Name. "Why, anybody's name; Shapira's or mine, for instance," explained Sachs.

THE BIG STORE. BROADWAY AND SEVENTH. ST. PAUL. EXAMINER JOHNSON IS SORELY GRIEVED PUBLIC EXAMINER SAYS HIS MO TIVES ARE ENTIRELY MIS UNDERSTOOD DESIRES TO KEEP OUT TWO OBJECTIONABLE CONCERNS He Claims He Has Sold His Interest in the Minneapolis Bonding and Brok erage Concern Which Still Uses His Name — Contemplated Competitive Bidding for Big Contracts. Public Examiner Samuel T. Johnson sayte the public is entirely at fault in its estimate of his scheme to save money for county officials compelled to furnish bonds. Mr, Johnson admits the scheme is a departure from anything ever attempt ed by his predecessors, but denies that there is anything in his plan which will return him any pecuniary reward. He insists that he has sold his interest in the S. T. Johnson & Farrington bond ing and brokerage business in Minne apolis," and that while his name is still used he has no direct connection with the concern. His interest.in the scheme outlined in his letter of Nov. 14, Mr. Johnson says, lies simply in a desire to save money for county officials, increase the number of corporation bonds and keep out the companies not authorized to do business in Minnesota. Two Dakota companies, Mr. Johnson says, have so- Savings bank, in the name of his friend, Harry Sachs. The money was deposited on Sept. 8, and on Sept. 20, according to Arkof sky, the bank book was presented at the bank and $250.52 withdrawn. Ar kofsky complained to the bank offi cials of the loss of his book, and upon payment of $1 the loss was advertis ed. Nothing was heard of the book, however, until during the middle of October, when it turned up at the German-American bank. It had been sent By a bank in Cincinnati for col lection. The State Savings bank re fused to pay the balance of $99.48 re maining on deposit. Arkofsky, who says he made the de posit under the name of Sachs, de manded the book. The bank refused to comply, whereupon Arkofsky brought suit to recover the bank book. He believes Sachs took the bank book. Sachs, he said, left the city .some time after the money was deposited. Judge Hine gave judgment in Ar kofsky's favor, and he will obtain pos session of his bank book. He says he will also bring suit against *he sav ings bank for the $250.52, which, he clares, was paid out without hie au thority. licited Minnesota business and he is not in possession of information satis fying- him that they can comply with the Minnesota laws. Gov. Van Sant is out of the city and his views of his public examiner's scheme are in consequence denied the public for the time. Mr. Johnson yes terday said: Johnson Explains. I do not see how any ulterior motive can be ascribed to the plans I have outlined to county officials. I am out of the brokerage business and I have not talked with any bonding company about this plan. lam emphatically in favor of the surety bonds of corpora tions for county officers instead of personal sureties. In cases through out the United States where defalca tions have occurred 90 per cent of the corporation bonds have been realized upon, and less than 20 per cent of the personal bonds. The surety bond sys tem is growing, and the officials are paying premiums ranging from % of 1 per cent to iy 4 per cent. I thought I could save some money for the county officials and at the same time keep the business out of undesirable hands. Thirty or forty counties have already asked me to take up the matter and my intention was to secure a favorable rate by asking for competitive bids from all the companies authorized to do business in the state. Yes, any of the five or six companies which have been admitted by the insurance com missioner are entirely reliable and I had not any intention of playing a fa vorite." Not All Are Satisfied. Mr. Johnson's explanation is not en tirely satisfactory to some of the in terested parties. There are six bond ing companies operating in the state under warrant of the insurance com missioner. Some of them think that Johnson has not been friendly to them in the past and can see no assurance of a hatchet burying in the plan pro posed by him. Only a very few coun ties are permitted by special laws to pay the premiums on' the bonds of their county officials. All county offi cers, with th.c exception of superin tendent of schools and county com missioners, are requested to furnish bonds. Many of them furnish per sonal sureties and avoid the payment of any premium, which, in the case of a bond of $250,000 even at a premium of orfly y 2 of 1 per cent amounts to $1,250 per year, and cuts a big hole in the official's salary. MAY ELECT A DARK HORSE. First District Caucus Fails to Settle Fight for Speakership. The First district caucus yesterday at Austin, which was to result, accord ing to the prepared programme, in de livering the First district delegation to Lawrence Johnson and the settlement of the speakership fight, resulted in leaving the race for the house gavel just where it started yesterday morn ing. The First district caucus, so far as it helped the plans of the Lowry inter ests, proved altogether a dismal fail ure and developments of a day may result in the disintregation of the strength-put up in the so-called joint caucus of the Fifth and Seventh dis tricts Tuesday night. Part of the Seventh district delegation did not at tend the joint caucus and yesterday there was trouble and loud mutterings. At 9 o'clock last night there were dis sensions in the Fifth district delegation threatening a break there. The plan mapped out late Tuesday contemplated a withdrawal of all the candidates in opposition to Babcock in favor of Johnson. The First district was to be delivered to the Hennepin man yesterday and the fight for the speakership would be practically over. The delivery was not made_good and the race is still open. Babcock has apparently 44 votes, and Johnson 26. Fifty-three are necessary to election, and Burns or a new candidate may yet land the coveted plum. Burns, however, now appears to be out of the running, as his district yesterday in dorsed Edward Fimning for sergeant- THE ST. PAUL GI.OBS, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 20, 1902, at-arms, and it can hardly hope to land two officers. The First district men got together at Austin early in the afternoon. Fan ning was quickly' indorsed for ser geant-at-arms, and Julius Schmal, of the Seventh district, landed an in dorsement for chief clefk. That ap parently left the First district out of the speakership fight, except as a band wagon proposition, and later that view was confirmed by the appointment of a steering committee. That apparent ly leaves the fight between Babcock and Johnson. Johnson, as a Henne pin candidate, seems an impossibility, and the field looks good for the entry of a dark horse. EXPERTS IN WOODCRAFT HAVE A DISAGREEMENT Tree Nursed by Mr. Oehlein Is Dis- credited by Brownson, Who Said He Would Buy It. The suit brought by C. Oehlein against Ralph Brownson, like the good old song of the nursery, centered about a mulberry tree. And several times during the interminable trial of the cause before Judge Hine, In the HER AFFECTION WAS CHILLED BY APPLICATIONS OF WATER THAT WAS ICED Because her husband threw ice wa ter upon her while she- was lying sick in bed Fannie Scheunk is suing Sam uel Scheunk for divorce. Mrs. Scheunk further complains that when she had been married but five weeks Scheunk kicked and beat her because she was too sick to work^ Furthermore, she alleges that on Nov. 20, 1900, he willfully deserted her and civil division of the municipal court, the court looked as if he were ran sacking his memory for the lost chords of "Here we go round the mulberry tree, the mulberry tree," to enliven the ordeal. Mr. Brownson, in the fall of 1901, emulating, according to the late Mr. Donnelly's view, the alleged William Shakespeare, ordered a mulberry tree fof his yard, testified Mr. Oehlein. As it was then too late to set out the tree, the planting was postponed until May, 1902. The tree was planted and cared for by Mr. Oehlein, who is a nurseryman. When the tree was well started and had rooted itself firmly in the soil, Mr. Oehlein presented a bill to Mr. Brownson for $10. Mr. Brown son demurred and offered $3; Mr. Oehlein refused the offer and sued for his full bill. The difference in the values placed by the plaintiff and defendant led to the calling of expert witnesses in the persons of L. L. May and H. Bunde. Mr. Oehlein described the tree as be ing four and one-half feet high and about three-fourths of an inch thick. It was worth about $5, he thought, and his services in attending it were worth as much more. The expert wit nesses, however, failed to agree with him as to the value. Mr. May thought the tree was worth about 50 cents, and that $10 was rather an unusual charge for the services rendered. Judge Hine took a like view of the matter and gave Oehlein judgment for $3. SAYS SALOON BAR WAS HIS SAVIOR WHEN ORNATELLO STARTED SHOOTING "I ducked behind the bar about that time," said Carmine Ruberto, proprie tor of the "Bucket of Blood" saloon on South Washington street, at the trial of Toni Ornatello before Judge Brill yesterday on a charge of attempt ing to shoot him Oct. 19 last. "Ornatello rented apartments from me," said Ruberto yesterday. "I decid ed not to lease them any longer and told Ornatello so. Ornatello was pro voked at having to move. "Ornatello entered the saloon with Annie Grossi, the woman who lived up stairs. He called me back to the lunch counter and talked with me, calling me names. We returned to the WHITTIER WILL RUN STATE TRAINING SCHOOL Board of Control Appoints State Agent to Succeed J. W. Brown, Resigned. The board of control accepted the resignation of Supt. J. W. Brown, of the state training school, and appoint ed Frank A. Whittier yesterday to succeed him. The salary is $1,800 per year and living for superintendent and his family. The appointment of Mr. Whittier will become effective as soon as Mr. Brown retires, which will be within a week or so. Mr. Whittier has held the position of state agent for the penitentiary and reformatory for five years, having having been appointed by Gov. Clough, His duties as" agent have been to look after paroled prisoners from the two institutions and see that they secured employment and lived up to the rules laid down for paroled prisoners. His successor has been agreed upon, but the state board of'control is not ready to make their selection known to the public. THE LIFE OF The Man Behind the Desk. "Coffee soaked me hard" for about 3 years, and I was troubled with indiges tion, headaches and drowsiness. I had no appetite and could not sleep and I was steadily losing flesh all the time. "I had spent a small fortune onjned icine and doctors' bills; I consulted several doctors, one told me that I had liver trouble, another told me that I had kidney trouble, others prescribed remedies for numerous complaints, but none helped me, and I finally looked upon my bad stomach as a part of my miserable existence, giving up all hc|>e of ever being myself again. "I knew that the cause of it was all due to office work, which precluded sufficient bodily exercise, and the eating of non nourishing and non-digestive food, and the drinking of tea and coffee. I had to quit my work, as I lost my mental and physical strength. "A friend of mine, who weighs about 240 pounds, and who looks the picture of health advised me to use Grape- Nuts as a food and drink Postum Cer eal Coffee. He said that his perfect health was due to the use of these two pure" cereals. He said that they would build up the delicate cells of the brain and body and restore me to health. "I acted on his advice and have no cause to regret it. I have now been using Grape-Nuts and Postum Coffee for some time and am in perfect health and weigh ten pounds more than I ever did. "Grape-Nuts food is the crystallized essence of all cereals. I eat it four times a day, prepared with cream, and also by pouring some of it out of the box into my hand and then eating it. Postum Coffee has also helped me greatly." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. FORM MUTUAL INSURANCE CO. ST.

The couple were married in St. Paul, April 15, 1900. They afterward moved to Duluth, but since the desertion Mrs. Scheunk has resided in St. Paul. Mrs Scheunk says that her husband has left the state and that she has lost all trace of him. She asks for a divorce, the right to resume her maiden name, Fannie Brownstein, and to marry again if she chooses. in bona fide applications which the law requires us to have to commence busi ness," said President John W. Lux, of the Mercantile Mutual Fire Insur ance company, of St. Paul, last even ing. President Lux, besides being the head of the new mutual insurance company, is also thepresident of the Retail Gro cers' association of this city and in reply to the question as to whether the new company would devote itself ex clusively to insuring grocers, ne said: "No, we^vill insure any reliable busi ness firms, whether they are engaged in the grocery business or not. Of course, a considerable amount of our business .will come from grocers. There are about 250 grocery firms in St. Paul and on the average they carry about $2,000 insurance each." Business to Start With. -'This, you see, will give us consid erable business to start with, although it may not all come in at once. The $450,000 in applications which we Have already secured is from points throughout the state^ and everything looks most encouraging for the new company. "The Minneapolis Mutual company, with which I am connected, and which started some time ago, has done re markably well, and there is no reason why the St. Paul company should not make a success of it. I don't suppose the insurance companies like the idea very much, as they are naturally op posed to mutual companies. You un- front part of the saloon and I told him if he didn't get out I would call the police. I caught hold of the telephone and at that Ornatello pulled a gun and started to shoot.

I won't take any more chances," he said in.answer to a question. Several witnesses were call ed. The court, however, was com pelled to adjourn until today in order to secure the presence of material wit nesses. derstand that the new company will not have to accept all the applications made to it for insurance.

PRISONER WEEPS WHEN JUDGE BRILL SENTENCES HIM TO THE REFORMATORY When Judge. Brill sentenced Carlton E. Biggs to a reformatory sentence at Stillwater for snatching a watch from Joseph Buckhornl in a saloon on Min nesota street Oct. 20, the prisoner broke down and wept. He had noth ing to say when asked why the sen tence should not be passed upon him and his lips trembled as he shook his head in answer to the question. When the judge passed the sentence upon him his eyes filled and on the way back to jail he sobbed and hung his head. When Biggs was on trial he went on the stand in his own behalf.

If this cannot be done, a new theater will be built. Mr. Miller is quite pleased with the prosperity attending the theaters in the two cities, and says it is due to the superior class of attractions that haye been booked.

WOULD LIKE VEHICLE OWNERS KEEP STREETS Dr. Whitcomb Is Preparing Ordinance Authorizing Taxation of Us ers of Highways. Assemblyman Whitcomb believes that every vehicle owner who uses the streets of St. Paul should contri bute to their maintenance, and Is pre paring an ordinance to that effect. The ordinance, if approved, will ex- I act from every vehicle owner a tax proportionate with its weight and car rying capacity and the money obtained from this source will be put intd* a special fund for the maintenance and repair of the streets. The repair of all streets is now met through the fund known as the street, sewer and garbage fund. This, as a rule, is inadequate to the demands made on it, and the streets in conse quence suffer. It is estimated that there at least 5,000 vehicles in St. Paul, and these, if taxed, Dr. Whitcomb says, would bring a handsome revenue. He proposes to introduce his ordinance at the next meeting of the assembly. LABOR UNION MEN WILL CROWD CITY HALL They Will Be There in Force to Watch Assembly's Vote on Dr. Ohage's Request.
