INSISTS ON SECURITY Woman Starts Unique Cas Against Insurance Companye A case involving a unique point In Minnesota .insurance circles is that filed in the Ramsey county district court, and in which it is sought by mandamus proceedings to force the Continental Casualty company to de posit with the state insurance com rpissioner securities to guarantee pay ment of policies held in Minnesota. The action originally is one brought by Anna Guldborg, as administratrix ot the.estate of Nels Guldborg, to col lect a sick indemnity of 1300 claimed to be due an estate. Failure to collect the amount has. it is claimed, resulted in the bringing of the mandamus pro ceeding. The complaint recites that the Continental Casualty company has failed to deposit with the state insur ance commissioner stocks, bonds or real estate mortgage securities, or any securities whatever, as security for the Minnesota policy holders. It is alleged that it has filed a statement with the insurance commissioner of Indiana, showing securities of $100,000 invested in that state, but it is contended that $50,000 so invested is in real estate mortgages executed by the officers and directors of the company for loans Triade to its officers. The relator says she has demanded that the state in surance commissioner require the for eign corporation to deposit securities in trust for the benefit of its Minne sota policy holders, but that he has re fused. A permanent writ of mandamus is ,asked, compelling the corporation to deposit $100,000 in securities with the state insurance- commissioner of which 550.000 shall be real estate mort gage securities, as protection for policy holders. The petition has been referred by State Insurance Commissioner E H. Dearth to Attorney General W. J. Don ahower for a legal opinion. At the capitol it was said yesterday that if the plan proposed was generally car ried out, indemnity companies would retire from the state. It is said that the Continental com pany is doing a $50,000 business in Minnesota annually. URGE JOHNSON TO RETAIN MAJ.

Considered They Had a Grievance—La bors Have Pleased Two Pres idents "The work of the Dawes Indian com mission has been seriously handicapped by numerous unfriendly ir-terests," said Chairman Tarns Bixby, of Red Wing, yesterday, "but the commission has come to be understood, and its great work will be completed next summer with the friendship of all the people who understand the situation in the Indian territory." Mr. Bixby spent the day in St. Paul, attending to private business, and left last night for the Indian territory, where, with his family, he will spend the winter. While his visit to St. Paul was ascribed by the politicians to the senatorial situation, he said that it was purely personal in character and had nothing to do w-ith politics. "My paper is supporting Senator Clapp," he said, "anO I do not look to see the opposition against him mate rialize into anything serious." Work of Commission "The Davves commission," Chair man Bixby said, "has a dozen treaties with five tribes. It has settled the question of citizenship for 250,000 peo ple, opened four land offices and allot ted 15,000,000 acres of land. These allotments have been made on a valua tion, instead of an acreage basis, and the work has been exacting in the ex treme. It is an entirely new principle in land office law in this country, but has been put into successful operation. The commission has heard 5,000 land contests, Involving immensely valuable properties. It has accomplished all this work in the past ten years, but the real work of the commission has largely been done during the past eight years, of which I have been a member of the commission. "The commission, during these years, has been attacked on almost every ground. Every man who was deprived of citizenship has lost property worth $5,000 by allotment, and a hundred W. H.YALE NAMED MARSHAL OF COURT Pioneer Mlnnesotan Will Suc ceed to Office Held by K. IN. Gulteau A pioneer Minnesotan, once lieuten^. ant governor of the state, three terms a state senator, and for one term a mem ber of the house of representatives, William Henry Tale was yesterday named marshal of the state supreme court at an annual salary of $300. He succeeds K. N. Guiteau, for the past twenty-five years marshal of the court, a man also well advanced in years, but reputed to be the possessor of independent means. An order was yesterday filed by Chief Justice C. M. Start, of the su preme court, appointing former Lieut. Gov. Yale to the post of marshal of the supreme court,- the appointment to be effective Jan. 1. Mr. Yale has been for the past two years a resident of St. Paul, but for nearly half a century had been a prom inent citizen of Winona. Emigrating from Connecticut in 1857 to Minnesota he located at Winona, and has been known as the father of the slate nor mal school at Winona, the first of its kind in the state. He was a member of the state senate in 1866 and again in 1875. He was lieutenant governor in 1869 and again in 1871, and later served a term in the senate, from 1895 to 1897. His last public service was in 1599, when he was a member of the house of representatives. Mr. Yale was for many years ac counted one of the wealthy men of Wi nona, but in his later years was over taken by adversities, and two years ago removed to St. Paul. A son, the late C. H. Yale, was for some years chief claim agent of the Great North ern railway system. Mr. Yale is now seventy-two years old. but for his years is a remarkably" active man. He is by profession a law yer. The appointment will give him a comfortable berth for his declining years. Mr. Guiteau, the retiring marshal, has served the court and the state faithfully for a quarter of a century. His home is at Farmington, Dakota county. EDWARD H. OZMUN IS GUEST AT LUNCHEON United States Consul at Stuttgart Is En- tertained by Judge Jaggard A luncheon in honor of Edward H.

The guests included the German consul, Harms E. Grunow, Judge Walter H. Sanborn, Judge Willis Van Devanter. Judge Thomas Wilson, C. A. Severance and Gustav Scholle. Mr. Ozmun will leave St. Paul tomorrow. He will return at once to Germany. VERDICT IN FAVOR OF MERCHANTS NATIONAL Local Bank Wins Case Brought by First National of Dawson A verdict for the defendant was re ported yesterday after half an hour's de liberation by the Jury that had tried in the district court the case of th« First National Bank of Dawson, Minn., against the Merchants National Bank of St. Paul. The suit was brought to recover $400, the amount of a draft sent by the plaintiff to the defendant for collection. The ground of action was that the St. Paul bank, as alleged, failed to use due diligence In notifying the Dawson bank that the draft could not be collected. Before such noti fication had been received the $400 had been paid out at Dawson. THE ST. PAUL GLOBE. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1. 1904 III! II IIIHI ' II I *^:- TAMS BIXBY Chairman of Dawes Indian Commission thousand of these men have been de nied citizenship. The result is that the commission has been forced to bear the brunt of attack of all these men and every other person in the territory who has a grievance, fancied or real. Coupled with the troubles at home, the Eastern press of the country has been especially hostile In its attitude towards the commission. lfThe press of the Eastern states, with a profound ignorance of condi tions in the territory, have not hesi tated to charge the members of the commission with every crime against their wards, and the Springfield Repubr lican, published within twenty miles of the home of the late Senator Dawes, has called me a scoundrel and said that no scandals would have arisen if Sen ator Dawes had lived to complete his work. Ethical Offense "The fact is that Senator Dawes was never in Indian territory, and the only charge that has ever been supported against the members of the commission is the ethical offense that its members made business investments In the ter ritory entirely independent of their of ficial duties and responsibilities. In all the attempts that have been made to injure the commission, we have had the co-operation and good will of both President McKinley and President Roosevelt, and we shall finish our work about July 1 with the commendation of the president of the United States." Clifton R. JBreckenridge, of Kentucky, former ambassador of the United States to Russia, and Senator T. B. Needles, of Illinois, are the other mem bers of the commission. FUGITIVE GIVES UP Man Who Hit Woman With a Stone Surrenders Wililam Hardy, residing in the rear of 334, Mcßoal street, gave himself up to the police yesterday and was ar raigned in police court on a charge of assault and battery: A warrant for his arrest was sworn out by James Ablitt, 436 North Smith avenue, who said that his wife had been injured by a stone which Hardy threw at her o» Nov. 10. Hardy said that he and Mrs. Ablitt had trouble on account of her treat ment of his children, and that he had intended to. swear out a warrant for her arrest. When he went to her house to learn the number she rushed out, he said, with a poker and attacked him. To defend himself he picked up a stone and threw it at her. The stone struck Mrs. Ablitt on the head, inflicting a wound from which the blood flowed. Hardy ran away and went to Men dota, where he stayed with friends. He became tired of remaining . away from home yesterday and came to St. Paul. He went to the central station, where he told Sergeant Wright that he wanted to have the trouble finished so he could return to work. His case will be heard Friday. SENIOR CO-EDS WILL DON CAPS AND GOWNS Male Members of Class Likely to Break Away From Custom The senior girls at the state university will blossom out in caps and gowns for the first time tomorrow. The costumes arrived yesterday, the necessary altera tions will be made today and tomorrow the girls will attend chapel in a body. They will be worn daily for the rest of the year. There is some talk among the boya of discarding the caps and gowns and it is likely that the boys will cling to the conventional masculine garb. Kidney Trouble Disappearing. Now Recognized to Be Bright's Dis ease— Fearful Death List A few years ago many deaths were re ported from "Inflammation of the Bow els." Appendicitis is now known to be the real trouble. A similar change has come In Kidney Disease. It ia now disappearing into Bright's Disease. In 1860 the census reported deaths from Kidney Disease, but none from Bright's Disease. In 1890 of the 37,549 deaths that year from Kidney Disease, over half were rec ognized as Bright's Disease. In 1900 of the 63,612 deaths, 58,748 (over nine-tenths) were known to be Bright's Disease. Thcs the simple thing we innocently refer to as Kidney Trouble is now recog nized as the commonest symptom of Bright's Disease. The worry and strain of the American life is ruinous to the Kidneys and Bright's Disease Is sweeping the country. Look at this appalling increase in the deaths from Bright's Disease taken from the census: • 1860 DEATHS 1870 DEATHS 1,722 1880 DEATHS 5,386 1890 DEATHS 22,330 1600 DEATHS 58,748 Where wfil it stop? No one is safe who worries or has weak Kidneys. There is only one cure known. Fulton's Renal Compound for Bright's Disease. The ear lier taken the easier the control. F. A. Munch, Summit avenue and Rice street, is the local agent. When to suspect Bright's Disease— weakness or loss of weight; pnffy ankles, hands or eyelids; Kidney trouble after the third month; falling vision; drowsi ness. One or more of these.

A committee consisting of John Day Smith, of Minneapolis; C. F. Macdon ald, St. Cloud, and Levi Longfellow, of Faribault, has gone to Marshalltown, lowa, to examine into* the success or failure of the institutional plan of car- ing for the wives and-widows of the veterans, and will report to the next encampment of the Minnesota depart ment of the G. A. R., to be held in Feb ruary. On the disposition, of the com mittee's report will depend whether or not legislation will be asked of the next legislature to put the plan into opera tion in Minnesota. • Sentiment Is Strong The committee was appointed at the last state encampment in deference to quite a strong sentiment that Minne sota should follow the example of lowa and several other states in the direc tion of caring for the old soldiers' "women folks" at the state soldiers' home at Minnehana. •'-?■ The plan is sure to meet with spir ited opposition «if it is proposed 7 to. the legislature. > There ; was a - demand for the r institutional care ;. of widows and wives of old soldiers in lowa, but it is said :■ that this was largely because of the fact that no outside aid is extended to the : families of old soldiers; in that .state.

Thinking only of the mother who had sat by his side in the court room dur ing both trials the boy asked to be tak en to her at once. "This will be heaven to her," he said, "won't it, now?" As soon as he had been formally set free he went with his counsel, D. W. Lawler and Frank Arnold, to the Clarendon hotel, where Mrs. Bowe was awaiting news of the verdict. The jury had been out seventeen hours. The first ballot, it is said, show ed eight jurors for acquittal and four for conviction. A second ballot brought nine votes for acquittal and three for conviction. The three jurors were at last convinced that Bowe had prob ably acted in self-defense. His good record in the past and his ingenuous appearance counted strongly in his fa vor. Bowe and Phillips were employed as farm hands near Como park. On the night of the homicide the two men had visited many saloons in the city and had become very drunk. They ap peared to be quarreling before they left a Hamline street car. After they had alighted, as Bowe testified, the quarrel became more violent, and Phil lips struck Bowe. Bowe, being younger and slighter than Phillips, defended himself with a pocketknife. The next morning Phil lips was found dead. He had been stabbed near the heart. Bowe was ar rested the same day in Minneapolis. The prisoner's record was that of a young Canadian who had been a roving adventurer, but never a criminal. At the first trial the jury was unable to agree after deliberating twenty-one hours.

But Mrs. Haskell, a hearty matron of forty, is so busi nesslike in her fairy incantations that she simply announced to her husband, "I'll bring you back a daughter, George, and she'll start to school a week from next Monday." * At the rooms of the Relief society, 141 East Ninth street, Mrs. Haskell ex plained her intentions. "Yes, I want a girl I can call my own. I've got a boy, you see. He's sixteen. He drove up with me. But I want a girl. I can't afford to take a girl and raise her In idleness.

I don't believo the rumors about him," declared Mrs. Paul Luwe at her little home, 109 East Fairfield avenue, last night. "We have been married fourteen years and have never had any trouble and I am sure he would not leave me. "Besides I was told by a fortune teller that he was true to me and that he would be back to take care of me and the children, as he promised to be." Mr. Lmve, who formerly conducted a saloon at 280 East Seventh street, sold out his business two weeks ago, and a week ago left St. Paul. The day after he went away Mrs. Barbara Schmidt, wife of Charles Schmidt, employed in a Robert street meat market, disappear ed and friends of Mrs. Luwe told her that her husband and Mrs. Schmidt went away together. Mr. Luwe was well known about town, though he had lived in the city only three years. He was president of the First Bismarck Lodge No. 41, Sons of Hermann and was a prominent member of other German organiza tions. "No, I will not believe the reports I hear," reiterated Mrs. Luwe. '"Before he went away he said he was going to be steward on a steamship sailing from Seattle. He said he would try the work for three months and if he liked it he would come back and take me and the children to Seattle, where we formerly lived. He gave me $200 before he went and said he would send me more if I needed it.
