SOLICITING COM­
FIFTEEN
MEN
AND SECURE 9470
That the baseball fans of this city
are enthusiastic for a team to be put
in the field this year is certain and
that they want and expect to have
a wincing team is plainly brought out
by the liberal contributions received
up to this date. The soliciting com­
mittee started work the first of the
week, taking in some of the merchants
and other business men. Although
these were very liberal in their: con­
tributions in .previous years they came
out'still better when approached this
time. As fifteen have donated $470
there is little doubt but that the
necessary funds to run a fast team
will be secured.
Extensive steps have already been
taken in St. Cloud for a team this sum­
mer and $1,200 has already been spent
by the street car company of that city
for improvements on the ball park. Mr.
White ev, president of the company, of­
fered the free use of the grounds to
the club and also promised a donation
of $70 to start the thing moving.
ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATE
The local camp of the Odd Fellows
celebrated the 94th anniversary of
the founding of the order in the United
States Wednesday evening.
A short but interesting program was
given at the hall. Rev. Harris deliver­
ed an interesting address to the mem­
bers. Mrs. Chas. Jensen rendered an
excellent vocal solo, Miss Maybelle
Brannen as accompanist- Misses
Gunda Goodmanson and Isabel Hughes
rendered several piano selections which
were well received-
After the program dancing furnish­
ed entertainment and lunch was served
at midnight.
DISTRICT COURT CHANGED
A new law was enacted at tha last
session of the legislature which .in­
cludes the changing of the date in
which the district court of this dis­
trict convenes- The spring term has
always been started on the first Mon­
day in March but is changed to the last
Monday
in February. The fall term will
also come earlier, convening the first
Tuesday in September instead of the
third. The principal objeet of the
change is to give the judges more time
in the Morrison county court which
will also aid them in completing the
terms in other places sooner.
DEYO & REHAN OF MINNEAPOLIS
HAVE TAKEN OVER MANAGE­
MENT
A deal is under way whereby Dave
Morris, who has had the management
of the Victor theatre since its open­
ing the last time, will dispose of his
interests in the theatre to Deyo &
Rehan of Minneapolis.
The new lessees have been actively
engaged in the show business for the
past eleven years and are thoroughly
experienced with all the ins and outs of
the business. They played at the
Victor a short time ago under the
same name and were greeted by a
large audience.
The theatre will be run on the same
principles as heretofore and L. Dimick,
machine operator, will remain with the
new management.. Since its opening
the last time the theatre has enjoyed
a good patronage and the shows put
on have been of a very high class.

LINDBERGH AGAINST BANKS
IN ALL MONEY LEGISLATION
Washington, April 29.—A resolution
was introduced by Representative
Lindbergh today to prevent the ap­
pointment of the banking and curren­
cy committee, of members who are
bankers, or agents jr attorneys of
banks, or who are interested in the
profits of the banking business.
The preamble of the resolution re­
cites that since the civil war, Con­
gress has allowed the bankers to con­
trol financial legislation" by permitting
interested persons to serve on the
committees in charge-of financial leg­
islation. Financial interests, Mr. Lind­
bergh alleges have by their agents
practically controlled the appointment
of members of the banking and cur­
rency committee, which, he declares,
is subversive of the* best interest of
the people.

LITTLE FALLS, MORRISON NTT, MINNESOTA.
MAY LOCATE HEADQUARTERS
HERE NOTHING DEFINITE
UNTIL AFTER STATE MEETING
The Commercial club met in special
session Tuesday evening at the city
hall to take up the M. W. A.-head­
quarters, proposition. The attendance^
at th« meeting was very small.
J. W. Crossfield appeared for th«
Woodmen and gave considerable in­
formation regarding the future of the
Minnesota ofder. The plans of the
Minnesota Woodmen is to organize a
state order and in event that thlii
would be done it would mean an of*
fice force of about fifty. This would
require a large building and the An­
tler* hotel has been suggested as a
very suitable place for headquarters.
There are in-this state about 700
camps, which would mean about 50,
000 members for the order. The reason
for the Minnesota Woodmen wishing
to withdraw from the head camp is
that its members must pay high rates
foi insurance where it has the lowest
death rate of any state in the union^
population considered. ...
In ordei to get the new order start'
ed it would be necessary to raise at
least $3,000 and if the amount is raised
by this city it maymean the location of
the headquarters here. J. W. Crossfield
was authorized to notify the head of
the insurgent Woodmen that this sum
would be raised and turned ovei t«
them if they would decide to locate
here permanently.
Several of the citizens expressed
theii views regarding the possibility
of getting the headquarters h.^re and
they stated that it would be of {jreat
benefit to the city.
A committee was appointed ta ar
range for an auto ride for the dele­
gates to the' insurgent .convention
which is to be held here June 2. •#'.
Another committee was appointed'to
confer with the. band as to tJ.e
amount of aid needed to furnish music
foi the different conventions which
will be held here this summer. They
will' also obtain the cost of giving
public concerts throughout the rim
me?, and will report at the next meet­
ing ox the Commercial club
The proposition of getting con­
nections with the Soo railroad in this
city, was also discussed but no definite
action wa.1 taken in thw matte?.
The Commercial club met in special
session at the city hall last evening to
discuss the Woodmen proposition
which had been taken up by the" club'
Tuesday evening. The me.eting was
held after going to press and |hef txact
particulars could hot be obtiiie'd.
A letter has been received from the
insurgent leaders in response to the
proposition submitted to them by the
club through J. W. Crossfield- They
ask that the money be~ made available
sooner than was promised.
The main objeect of the meeting
was to have a committee appointed
which would confer with the officers
and get a guarantee that the prop­
osition would mature and that they
would locate here permanently if the
bonus was raised.

TWO HURT AT SAWMILi

BROKEN COLLAR BONE
Henry Sauei, who has been employ

ing
A
this season was seriously injured
about 8 o'clock Tuesday morning while
repairing a broken clijrfn. He had the'
chain practically repaired and was is
the^act offsetting it in place when the
accident occurred. He asked his partner'
to stut the titachigfery very slowly, not
thinking that this was impossible with­
out shutting1 down the whole mill. The
chain started out at full speed and
caught his arm, dragging it between
the cogs, with the result that his arm
was alsfetorn open in several places. He
was rushed to the hospital where he re­
ceived ^surgical attention. The attend­
ing surgeon stated that everything
possible will be- done to save the arm
but that there is but little hope of his
ever regaining the use of it.
Another accident occurred at about
the same time in the lumber yards
when AdOlph Fearing, who drives
team for the company, fell from the
wagon, sustaining a broken collar
bone and an injured shoulder. He was
taken to his home, where surgical help
was called. His injuries, however, are
not of a serious nature and it is but a
question of time when he will be able
to resume work.
