NEWS OF THE CITY EAGLES OF STATE WIND UP THEIR CONVENTION WITH BIG PARADE Delegates Perfect Permanent Organization at Ciosing Ses sion and Elect Officers for the Year—Ritual of the Order Is Fxemplifled and Meeting Is Addressed by A. E. Partridge, (National Grand Secretary— White Bear Aerie Lands First Prize for Best Showing In Line of March The first annual state convention of the Fraternal Order of Eagles of Min nesota, which convened in St. Paul Friday, was brought to a close last night by a parade through the princi pal business streets of the city, in which a number of bands and several hundred Eagles from all parts of the Btate participated. The next convention of the order will be held in Duluth, the city at the head of the lakes winning out after a spir ited contest. Morris delegates worked hard for the next convention, but the Duluth rooters secured the stronger following and when it came to a vote the Zenith City was chosen. Yesterday's business session was confined largely to routine business. No session was held in the forenoon, but in the afternoon a permanent or ganization was effected, with officers as predicted in yesterday's Globe. Joseph H. Ellis, of Minneapolis, was named as chairman, and W. J. Wal dron, of St. Paul, secretary. The ritual of the order was exemplified tit yes terday's business session and the re ports of a number of committees were read. A feature of the meeting was an address upon the good of the order by A. E. Partridge, grand secretary of the order, who came from Kansas City to attend the meeting. The parade last night, although nearly an hour late in starting, was watched by thousands of people, the line of march being crowded. The parade, which formed at Rice park, was to have started at 8 o'clock, but owing to a delay in the arrival of the Minneapolis contingent, it was al most 9 o'clock before the body moved. The Stillwater aerie, headed by a band, and with a hundred members in line, had the position of honor, but the "White Bear aerie, but recently organ ized, had more members in line and easily carried off the first prize for the outside aerie making the best showing. The second prize went to Stillwater." The St. Paul and Minneapolis aeries made splendid showings, but were barred from competition for the prizes. The distinct feature of the parade was the Journal Newsboys' band, of Mm SARLES CONFIDENT Hiiisboro Man Expects to Be Gubernatorial Nominee E. Y. Sarles, the Hillsboro (N. D.) banker, who is a candidate for the Re publican nomination for governor of his state, is at the Merchants hotel and admits that he is likely to be the nom inee. "Is it a cinch?" he was asked. "Well. I shouldn't like to put it that strong," he replied, "but I should not be surprised if I were nominated by acclamation. The opposition to my nomination seems to have given place to a concession that perhaps I am an available man for the place and that possibly I wouldn't make so bad a governor." Sarles came from Chicago, where he attended the Republican national con vention as a spectator, just to show his North Dakota friends that he was a true-blue Republican, and is spending a day or two with St. Paul friends. MAY ALLOW AUTOS BACK ON DRIVEWAY Lights Are Ordered for Riverside and Automobile Owners Hope It is now believed that the park board will rescind its order prohibiting automobiles on the Riverside driveway. The board of public works has ordered the gasoline lamp contractor to place twelve lamps on the driveway, between Marshal and Summit avenues, at points where sharp turns are made, and when this is done it is said automobiles will be permitted on the driveway. A re cent order of the park board barred automobiles from the driveway.

This crack organization of little fellows, in their neat red uni forms, brought forth cheers all along the route. About 100 Minneapolis Eagles were in line. The St. Paul aerie. 300 strong, brought up the rear, and the members, in their duck trousers and hats, show ed well. They were headed by the Minnesota State band. After covering the line of march the parade disbanded at Rice park, from which point it started, and the rest of the evening was given over to the visiting delegates to do as they pleased, there being nothing on the programme for last night aside from the parade. In the award of special prizes to be awarded to those participating in the parade, Charles B. Dewitt carried off the $1.50 offered for the most homely Eagle in line, and Peter J. Miesen was voted the handsomest man in the lot, for which a prize of $2.40 was offered. Norman Scheffhaussen carried off the prize of 3 cents per inch for the tallest Eagle in line,- and the prize of 1 cent per pound for the heaviest Eagle went to Joseph Wagner, and cost the com mittee something in excess of $3.There was a prize also offered for the light est Eagle, but the prize committee was informed that^the contestant for this prize had blown away while the parade was turning a corner. While the convention proper came to a close last night, many of the dele gates remained in the city, and will at tend the second annual picnic of the St. Paul aerie, to be held at White Bear today. Special trains will carry the crowds from St. Paul to the picnic grounds, and a large attendance is ex pected. The first picnic given by the St".

Body Steps toward the merging of all of the improvement associations in the city were taken at a meeting held in the council chamber of the city hall yesterday afternoon, which was at tended by delegates from the various associations in the different wards. At this meeting a committee of one from each improvement association wa3 named to outline plans for a perma nent organization, and the report of this committee will be received at a meeting to be held at the city hall Fri day afternoon, July 8. The federation plan for improvement associations was suggested by the Sixth Ward Improvement association, and it was through the efforts of this association that yesterday's meeting was held. Some time ago the Sixth Ward association approved of the plan for merging the various associations, as suggested by E. H. Wood, and cards were sent to each association in the city, asking that delegates be sent to the meeting to be held yesterday. An evidence of the manner in which the suggestion was received by the vari ous associations was the appearance at the meeting of delegates from every association, with the exception of one or two, and in these instances it was explained that the associations had not held a meeting since the notices had been sent out. Officers Are Named J. M. Hawthorne, of the Sixth ward, was chosen as chairman of the meet ing, and Theodore J. Gronewald secre tary, and while the meeting was called more for the purpose of arranging for a permanent organization, a number of the delegates took advantage of the opportunity to tell of the good that could be accomplished by a central or ganization. E. H. Wood explained the objects of the meeting, and said he thought a central body would serve to keep the different ward associations from dying out, and he believed it would be of much value in securing concessions desired by the associations. He said there w*as nothing of a political na ture aimed at by the promoters and hoped that such a strong body would be organized that it could go before the council and ofher bodies and wield some influence. Chairman Hawthorne thought the central organization could do much good in keeping tab on taxation, as sessments and other matters of gen eral interest to the public. J. W. Shepherd, representing the Merriam Park Improvement associa tion, told what had been accomplished by the old Merriam Park union a few years ago. He said it was through the efforts of the union that Merriam Park had secured gas, water and sew erage, and he believed an organization such as proposed, could do much more along similar lines, not only for some certain district, but for the entire city. Mr. Shepherd suggested it would be a good idea for the association to take up the matter of preparing the streets for boulevarding; to see that the prop er kind of trees were planted and that no opportunity was overlooked for beautifying the city. It was also sug gested that the association might as sist the charter commission in many ways. Dr. Schiffmann Willing to Assist Assemblyman Schiffmann, who was present as a spectator,when called upon to talk told the delegates that he would be glad at any time to use both his personal and official influence to as sist in any movement which was for the betterment of the city. He believ ed the central organization plan, a splendid idea and hoped to see it be come a power in the city. The committee on organization, as named by the chairman, is made up as follows, there being one member from each Improvement association: First Ward Improvement associa tion, C. E. Hiilstrom; Second ward, George M. Radenberg; Fifth ward, L. F. Schultz; Sixth ward, E. H. Wood- Grand View Heights, F. L. Baird; Summit avenue; J. W. Cooper; Eighth ward, F. J. Schultz; Ninth ward, James Fenstermaker; Tenth ward, F. H. El lerbe; Merriam Park, C. A. Magnuson. E. H. Wood, of the Sixth ward, was named as chairman of the committee, which will meet early this week and outline a plan for a permanent organi zation. WOMAN PEDDLER LIFTS STICK PIN Annie Johnson Admits Theft When Ar raigned in Police Court and Is Fined Annie Johnson, 692 Rice street, was arrested and arraigned in the police court yesterday on a charge of stealing a stick pin valued at $3 from Mrs. A. Steidlitz, 150 University avenue, on Friday. She pleaded guilty and paid a fine of $15. Miss Johnson, who had been ped dling face cream, visited Mrs. Steid litz's home and while alone in a room took the pin from a sideboard. She called twice on Thursday, the first time asking for some old clothes, and when she returned took the pin while Mrs. Steidlitz was in a neighbor's house. She came again Friday and Mrs. Steidlitz sent for a policeman and had the woman arrested. UP TO JUDGE BUNN Judge Kelly Postpones Fuller ton Contempt Proceedings The contempt proceedings against S. F. Fullerton, state executive agent, came up in the district court yesterday before Judge Kelly, but were post poned until Judge Bunn is able to hear them. Judge Bunn has once passed upon the matter, and it was the opin ion of the court that he should act in contempt proceedings. Mr. Fullerton is cited to appear in court and show cause why he should not be punished for having failed to obey an order of the court directing him to appear before a referee and make a statement regarding his prop erty. The proceedings grew out of the case of Del Walters against Fullerton. Walters had assigned to him two judg ments against Fullerton, but when he sent a deputy sheriff to levy upon the game warden's property none could be found. It was then that an order was issued by Judge Bunn, citing Mr. Ful lerton to appear before a referee and make a statement regarding his prop erty, an order Mr. Fullerton Is said to have ignored. MAN IS SUED FOR WIFE'S FUNERAL EXPENSES Undertaker Would Force H. Heitmiller to Pay for Burial of Woman Herman Heitmiller, whose wife died a few days ago, and who, after her death sued out a writ of habeas corpus to secure possession of his child, has been sued for the funeral expenses of his wife, the plaintiff in the case being J. A. Wilwerschied, the undertaker, who asks judgment for $86. The plaintiff says the defendant re fused and neglected to provide for the burial of the body of his wife, and at the request of relatives the plaintiff furnished the casket, hearse and car riages. Heitmiller but two or three days ago secured possession of his little child, who was left in the care of its mater nal grandparents when its mother died. When the father demanded the child the grandparents refused to give it up, but later were compelled to do so by an order of the court. Asks $5,000 for Husband's Death The personal injury suit of Mrs. Mary E. Shandrew against the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Rail road company was begun yesterday be fore Judge William Lochren and a jury in the federal court. Mrs. Shandrew brings the action as administrator of her husband's estate, and asks $5,000 damages for his death. Shandrew was thrown from a freight car in the 1 Minneapolis railroad yards Oct. 11, 1903, and killed. The railroad company denies liability. The case will be taken up again on Monday. Taggert's Remains Brought to St. Paul The body of George W. Taggart, who died suddenly in Chicago Friday, will be brought to St. Paul for interment. The body will arrive this morning and will be taken to McCarthy & Sons' un dertaking rooms, 380 Wabasha street. Taggert, who left St. Paul to engage in business in Waterloo, lowa, re turned to St. Paul a few months ago and was connected with George G. Wright & Co., a general land concern. He was in Chicago on a visit when he died. Dickson Asks New Trial Judge Jaggard yesterday heard and took under advisement the aplicatton of E. M. Dickson for a new trial in his suit against the city, an action in which Dickson sought to recover on an as signment of $10,000 made to him by W. J. Preston, who became a bankrupt while performing a contract job for the city. In the suit Preston's bonds men intervened, contending that the assignment had been made for the pur pose of defrauding them, and not in good faith, and the jury held that Dick son could not recover on the assign ment. Dickson now wants a new trial. FOOD FACTS What an M. D. Learned A prominent physician of Rome, Ga., went through a fooji experience which he makes public: "It was my own experience that first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food and I also know from having pre scribed It to convalescents and other weak patients that the food is a won derful rebuilder and restorer of nerve and brain tissue, as well as muscle. It improves the digestion and sick pa tients always gain, just as I did, in strength and weight very rapidly. "I was in such a low state that I had to give up my work entirely and go to the mountains of this state, but two months there did not improve me; in fact, I was not quite as well as when I left home. My food absolutely refused to sustain me and it became plain that I must change; then I began to use Grape-Nuts food and in two weeks I could walk a mile without the least fatigue and in five weeks returned to my home and practice, taking up hard work again. .Since that time I have felt as well and strong as I ever did in my life. "As a physician Jfcho seeks to help all sufferers, I consider it a duty to make these facls public." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Trial ten days on Grape-Nuts when the regular food does not seem to sus tain the body will work miracles. "There's a reason." Look in each package for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." YOUNG VETERANS TALK OF WAR DAYS Minnesota Society of Army of Philippines Holds Third Reunion In picturesque language Rev. G. L. Morrill, of Minneapolis, last night in fused the fire of patriotism into the hearts of a company of fifty young men who had seen service in the Phil ippines in the Spanish-American war, and who were gathered about the ban quet tables in the Commercial club. The occasion was the third annual reunion of the Minnesota Society of the Army of the Philippines, and the banquet followed a business meeting of the society during the day. The meeting was made the opportunity for the exchange of reminiscences and the recall of incidents of the war in the islands of the Orient when the Thir teenth Minnesota was stationed in the Philippines for something more than a year during 1898-99, and was altogether a pleasant affair. The veteran volun teers of the Twin Cities enjoyed to the utmost the reunion and the post prandial feature of the affair extended well into the night. The Minnesota society held its busi ness meetings at the rooms of Carleton camp, St. Paul branch of the society 413 Robert street, yesterday afternoon, and a banquet at the Commercial club in the evening completed the annual reunion. Officers were elected and the constitution of the Minnesota society was amended to conform to recent changes in the national society's or ganic law.
