SCHOOL OFFICERS NOW
COME TO MEETINGS
flew Law of Great Benefit in Waking
np the Rural Districts, Says Superin
tendent Olsen.
"One of the best things that ever
lappened for the cause of rural educa-
tion," said State Superintendent Olsen
yesterday, "was the adoption of a law
jiving school officers $3 a day and ex
penses for attending country school
neetings. The law has had the effect
)f greatly increasing attendance at the
neetings we have held.
It has been difficult in the past for
ountv superintendents to reach rural
ichool trustees. They have not taken
'nough interest to attend meetings, and
luperintendents had not the time to
4sit them individually. Progress in
he rural schools is impossible without
he cooperation and sympathy 01 the
Ustrict trustees, and with few excep
ions they have not been brought
ouch with advanced educational ideas.
Chru the meetings they are -now learn
ng many things, and above everything
_jlse, are learning to take an interest in
aucational methods."

ZLERiKS MUST REPORT
I ON VITAL STATISTICS
tate Board of Health Has Better Facil
ities for Getting Facts Under the
New Code.
George T. Simpson, assistant attor
ey general, has answered several legal
uestions submitted by the state board*
health. One construes the new
iw as to reports of births, deaths and
ther vital statistics to be made by
ca authorities to the state board.
Under the old law, the health officer
E a city or irillage, or the town clerk
E a township was required to make
le report. Many were neglectful of
lat duty. Under the new Taw, either
ie health officer, the city clerk or the
illage recorder may report, and the
ealth officer or town clerk of a town
dp. The opinion holds that the board
.ay designate who is to make the re
)rt in each case. If the health officer
ies not report, the clerk or recorder
ay be asked for the information.
Mr. Simpson holds that under the new
a health officer does not have to
3 a resident of the district, if he is
ipointed. Villages m*y either elect
appoint a health officer. One meni
of the board of health must be a
^lysician. and if the board is elected
must be a resident. If appointed, he
ay be an outsider.
If any city fails to create its board
health, the state board may name
ree persons, one at least a physician,
act as such board.

AGED BANKER WILL
BATTLE FOB LIBERTY
T. B. CLEMENT OF FARIBAULT,
FIGHTING PRISON TERM.
Lawyers Will Contest in United States
Circuit Court of Appeals Over the Al
leged Errors in the Convicted Mante
TrialClash of Lake Interests Over
Perils of Storm at Duluth.
Whether the veteran banker, Thomas
B. Clement, once president of the First
National bank of Faribault, of which
he was convicted of wrecking, shall
serve his eight years sentence in pris-1 jg
on, will be decided in the United States
circuit court of appeals, the May term
of which begins in St. Paul, May 7.
That the case will be hard fought in
this court of last resort is assured.
George N. Baxter, attorney for the
convicted banker, has seventy assign
ments of error brought up in the cir
cuit court of appeals, in a printed rec
ord, which occupies 205 pages. C. G.
Haupt, United States attorney for the
distriftt of Minnesota, will appear per
sonally the case for the prosecution,
as he did in the first trial of Clement.
In criminal cases in the circuit court
of appeals, it is not necessary for the
prisoner to be in attendance. Mr. Cle
ment will, therefore, be spared the or
deal of having his misfortunes again
severely detailed in court, which to a
man of his advanced years and infirm
ities would without doubt be a great
strain. Mr. Clement is now in Fari
bault undeT bond, and residing at the
family home. The case in the afart of
appeals will simply be a battle waged
between the attorneys on the seventy
assignments of error, practically all
technical points. They include excep
tion to the charge of the court to the
jury, exception to the admission of a
large amount of the convicting testi
mony, and objections to the refusal of
the trial court to admit certain testi
mony in behalf of the prisoner.
Tale of the Deep.
The suit of the Gilchrist Transporta
tion company, appellant, against M.
Sicken and others, involves a tale of
the stormy deep." The steamer John
Harper was towing the barge Thomas
Gawn from Marine City to Duluth on
Lake Superior. On arrival outside the
canal entering Duluth harbor a tug
was signaled for but did not respond.
A high sea and wind was prevailing,
and a storm seemed about to break. So
the John Harper attempted to tow th*
barge thru the canal into the harbo1*.
The barge collided with one of the pieis
and was considerably damaged. Judge
Page Morris, in the lower court, divided
the damages, holding that both steamer
and barge were at fault. Thereupon
the respondent appealed.

There are several other Minnesota
cases on the calendar.

MAKING HOMES HAPPY
MRS. C. O. WHITNEY A NEW KIND
OF MISSIONARY.-
Well-Snown Marshall Woman Gives Up
Her Home Comforts to Bring Practi
cal Christianity to Minneapolis, to
Cheer and Enlighten as Has No Other
Envoy of Happiness.
N
MBS. C. C. WHITNEY,
Who Is Practicing vAccording to Her
Creed of Happiness in Minnneapolis.
niktt+t******** tvr
To prove the practical value of a
truth Mrs. C. C. Whitney left her pretty
home in Marshall, Minn., and with the
full knowledge and approval of her hus
band, came to Minneapolis a month
ago as any penniless, friendless woman
might do. Mrs. Whitney is the wife of
Captain Whitney, formerly state
printer, and Captain Whitney is as in
terested as she is her experiment of
proving that a woman with brains and
hands can make her own way in the
world.
Mrs Whitne}' has been a practical
housekeeper ana home maker for twen
ty-five years and in the intervals of
caring' for her eight children and look
ing after the comfort of her husband
and his parents, she found time for
much thinking and study along psycho
logical and metaphysical lines, until she
evolved a belief of her own, a creed of
love and helpfulness. "Practical Chris
tianity and psychology," she calls it,
and its main thought seems to be to
be good and do good.''
"You Get What You Give."
"You get what you give," she says.
and if you radiate happiness and good
will you will receive them back again,
but if you send out vibrations of dis
content, selfishness and gloom/ those
are what,will be attracted to you. It is
the old, old principle of 'like seeks
like' that ea%fiot be oveucomeC"
So armed
vwlth this powe'r to radiate
"happiness and helpfulness, Mrs. Whit
ney came to Minneapolis a month ago to
seek her fortune like any heroine of
fiction, with little money in her purse
and only the clothes on her back. For
years she has wanted to take this step,
and while Mr. Whitney was in full sym
pathy with her belief, he bade her wait
until she had tested all of her theories
and ideas and like a dutiful wife she
obeyed. Shp has spoken in many of the
larger cities and explained to more than
one circle of women how to make fheir
lives fuller and richer, drawing "on the
vast store of her own experience of
twenty-five years of real thinking and
home making, but she had never been
heard in the city.
Like a Stranger.
Of course she had friends in Minne
'apolis. Captain Whitney is a well
known man in Minnesota and has
friends everywhere, but his wife slipped
into the city like'the veriest stranger.
She had not the faintest idea what she
was going to do to earn money for food
and lodging, and food and lodging she
must have. Captain Whitney stood be
hind her with open hand and heart, but
she had no intention of drawing on him
for funds. She was going to earn her
own way. That was why she had eome
to Minneapolis.
But how? She considered the ques
tion as she ate her breakfast at the res
taurant that first morning. A Minne
apolis Journal lay on the table beside
her. She opened it and began to read
the want ads. Down the long list of
"Help Wanted" her eye traveled un
til she found a plea for aid that seemed
to stand out from all the others. A 'wo-
man in St, Louis Park wanted a'nurse
girl for her two children.
Answered the Want Ad.
Mrs, Whitney did not stop to study
over it. If anyone knew about 'children
surely she did, for she was the mother
of eight boys and girls. In less time
than many a woman would have taken
to weigh the pros and cons of the mat
ter she was out asking for the position.
She told the truth about herself, who
she was and what she had come to Min
neapolis to do, and the poor, over
worked little mother gladly made over
the care of her children to the self-re
liant, capable woman who. it seemed,
had dropped out of heaven to aid her.
Mrs. Whitney had no intention of
taking permanent work. She was only
going to lend a hand to those who need
ed help until they could secure compe
tent service. She stayed with the little
mother ten days, but what a lot that
little mother learned, about her children
and the care of them. To a woman who
had reared eight, two were piay. Mrs.
Whitney found time to show the puz
zled mother something of the construe
tion of children's clothes and as they
sewed together they talked of the pow
er of love, the great lever in Mrs. Whit
ney's creed. When ten days-had passed
a competent nurse had been found and
Mrs. Whitney went away with $10 in
her pocket, leaving a very grateful lit
tle mother behind her.
Again the Journal Ads.
After nursemaid what! The Journal
want ads were consulted and the ad
vantage of a quick brain proved. In
one column a trained nurse asked for
some one to take care of her child while
she was out for a week on a case. Rub
bing shoulders With this was another
advertisement asking for a woman b
care fox a h*use while the owner was
out of the city. Mrs. Whitney prompt
ly decided that the same woman could
do both, and she soon had the nurse's
child 1x1 -the home of the tra.'veleirs. The
nurse paid her $4 and she had $1 a
day for the work she did at the house,
so that when theuhild was returned to
his mother and the house to its owners
she was richer by .$15.
H6r next advertisement took h.err oixt
to Kenwood to fill a place as second
girl. The mistress of the house was a
southern woman who knew little about
jcookiner, and when she found that the
HI MB
temporary second girl had cookery lore
at her fingers' enassshe was asked to^
teach the cook how to .make baking
powder biscuit and other favorite dish
es that the cook presented in forms
that would never be recognized by the
friends dt baking powder biscuits.
When the master of the house tasted
the thick, juicy steak, the first that had
been properly eooked in his house for
many a month, he looked with great re
spect on that temporary second girl,
who knew all the mysteries of pies and
cake" and the cooking of meats, and
could share her knowledge. As for the
mistress of the houseshe wanted to
give a party and invite all'her friends
to meet the woman who could furnish
such practical, spiritual, mental and
physical help for a second girl's wage of
$4 a week.
ti"-"
v^
Radiates Good Cheer,' *f|
Mrs. Whitney was born to be helpful.
She radiates good cheer and wen she
meets tired women at the restaurants
and rest rooms she alwaytf has a word
of inspiration for them.
"My, I wish you would talk to my
church people," sighed one weary
woman, hungry for more comfort.
"Invite m$ and I will be glad to,"
was the cheery response.
The invitation came and was ac
cepted. Mrs. Whitney spoke in one of
the Baptist churches and received half
the offertory.
All these' experiences are only part
of the history of that first month and
they B&y nothing of Mrs. Whitney's ap
plication for day's work at Bethel Set
tlement, where she was willing either
to wash or scrub.
"One kind of work is good as an
other," declares this exponent of prac
tical Christianity, "provided it is hon
est, and washing is a better developer
than physical culture exercises. Physi
cal and mental work should go together
and one without the other has little
value.-'
One day she even pawned her rings,
to a young woman "who had a bank ac
count and was not afraid to advance
$20 for the diamonds and the wedding
ring, which was included in the glitter
ing pile.
Now She Has an Office.
So the month sped, until now, at the
end of thirty days, Mrs. Whitney has
money in her pocket not only for a
down-town office and a hall in which
to speak on Sundays, but she has also
rented a cottage at Cedar Lake for the
summer. She hopes to have classes and
pupils, and in the intervals she will en
swer want ads and continue to carry
practical Christianity into the homes
where help of any kind is needed.
She is a great friend of Elbert Hub
bard and has visited East Aurora and
Mr. Hubbard has been entertained at
the Whitney home at Marshall. Un
knowingly Mrs. Whitney has chosen for
the subject of her first Sunday talk to
day the same topic on which Mr. Hub
bard will lecture tomorrow. It is
"Common Sense" and. Mrs. Whitney
has added a little sub-topic, "We Prac
tice What We Preach and Preach What
We Practice.'' Her talks are for no
denomination or creed and everybody
will be welcome at McElroy hall at
10 30 o'clock.
Mrs. Whitney has with her in the city
her son and at the close of the school'
year her daughter, Miss Minne Sota
Whitney, will join, her. Miss Whitney
will be graduated from the New Eng
land Conservatory -of Music in June
and is planning to study here. Later
Captain Whitney and the other "chil
dren will also come to Minneapolis if
Mrs. Whitney decides to remain. There
is htttle doubt of,-that, for she has
found here a vast field in which there
will be plenty of work for her woman's
soul and brain and h^eart.

RUN ON MARRIAGE
LICENSE DISPENSARY
More Fancies Than Usual Turned to
Thoughts of Love and Matrimony
in the Past Week.
Beginning Monday, a "run" was
inaugurated on the marriage license
counter and the deputy clerks have
been kepl^on the numP
filling out hap
piness affidavits and certificates. The
first three days of the week show a to
tal of 100 fancies turned to thoughts
of love and matrimony. Monday carV -^^JIT^^WJ
rie off the honor with eighteen ina
riage licenses Tuesday there were fif
teen, and Wednesday seventeen licens
es issued to twice'that number of per
sons.
This is the high, record for April.
June is the banner month for mar
riages, but June's laurels are imper
iled by April, and the month of weep
ing skies may yet become the month
of wedding smiles.
After. Wednesday the rush subsided
somewhat and in the last three days
only twenty-one licenses were issued.
This brings'to light again the fact that
superstition is a potent influence in
Minneapolis as in all the rest of the
world. For in selecting wedding days
Friday is shunned as carefully as if it
carried with it pestilence-, unhappiness
and dire disaster. Thursday has al
ways been an unpopular wedding day,
too why, it is hard to say, unless *he
newly, married dislike missing prayer
meeting. Saturday is almost as un
popular as Friday, and week-end mar
riages have never obtained to any
great extent in Hennepin county.
Notwithstanding the disaffection
during the last half of the week, if
thcr first halves continue, April and
May^will be banner months this year.

IS BECOMING HEAVY
SLIGHT DELAY IS CAUSED BY
EARTHQUAKE WORK.
Committees Will Now Buckle Down to
Task of Completing Fund and Will
Then Map Out General Plans of En
tertainments-Accommodations Is Ser
ious Problem.
Plans for the entertainment of the
national Grand Army encampment next
August are to be undertaken with new
zeal this week after having been tem-
Ey
orarily sidetracked for
The work of organization was under
taken none too soon for the heavy pre
liminary business of the encampment
has started earlier than usual. The en
tire organization is now practically
complete, the few unorganized commit
tees having little to do. One great
problem that confronts the general com
mittee 8s to secure accommodations
for the thousands of visitors that are
to be here. This is specially true of the
large post and veteran organizations
that will come in a body and will wish
to be quartered together.
Captain A. W. Guild custodian of the
state university has consented to act as
chairman of the accommodations com
mittee and finds that he already has
plenty of work in sight. Arrangements
are now under way to secure cots and
bedding for fitting post department and
organization quarters in vacant store
and office buildings, halls and schooP
houses. After going over the requests
now on file it is found that at least 12-
000 cots and sufficient bedding will be
iequired and further requests will re
quire the placing of additional orders.
'Will Complete Fund.
The fund has continued to grow slow
ly but steadily. It has reached a good
ly amount* but is still far from the
mark placed by the committee as actu
ally necessary. With the closing of the
California relief fund the finance com
mittee will devote all its energies
the Grand Army fund and make a
whirlwind finish. Many features of the
work are held up waiting the completion
of the fund but the committee banking
on the generosity and patriotism of
Minneapolis which has more than been
made good in the last week promises
that nothing shall be wanting long.

a scarcity of coal, the people refuse to
buy. Not 10 per, cent of the amount
of coal sold last April has been disposed
of this month.
"You never see any coal wagons on
the street any more," said a coal sales
man. "Had von noticed that? There
is absolutely nothing doing in the do
mestic coal business. Last April the
people were putting in stocks to save
the 50 cents a ton spring reduction.
This year they don't seem to care
about buying at all, altho a scarcity is
probable.
"Bituminous coal consumers are
pretty well stocked up with fuel. They
have enough on hand for two months.
No soft coal is moving at all, except
some upon the range.
"Thirty-five per cent of the anthra
cite coal mined is below domestic size
and goes into competition with bitu
minous and I do not think that the
ric of hard coal will Be reduced bo
ow the present figure."
KOOCHICHING WINS IN
NORTHERN COUNTY WAR
Governor Is Advised ,to Call Itasca
County Election on the International
Falls Petition Alone.
International Falls wins the first
round in the contest over division of
Itasca, county. On the advice of C. S.
Jelley, assistant attorney general, Gov
ernor Johnson will issue a proclamation
submitting the Koochiching county pe
tition to the voters of Itasca. The
later petitions will be ignored. Mr.
Jelley, after the hearing Friday, held
that the provisions of the revised code
would govern, so that only one proposi
tion can be submitted at a given elec
tion. The Koochiching county petition
being filed first, has precedence over
the ones filed by Bipple and Northome.
Partizans of the Bipple petition, rep
resented by C. C. McCarthy and A. A.
Tope, threaten to carry the .matter into
court to see whether Mr. Jelley's ruling
will stand.
The division proposed in the Interna
tional Falls petition cuts Itasca about
in two, by an east and west line. The
north county, to be called Koochiching,
will have International Falls for its
seat of government. It has now 4,090
people and an assessed valuation ofS
$4,000,000. Itasca county would be left
with 8,000 people and $8,000,000 as
sessed valuation. Before the division
is made the petition must be approved
by a majority vote of the entire coun
ty, at the general election next fall.
