The iirst annual state convention of
the Slate I.uther league, met, elected of
ficers, adopted a constitution and conclud-.
Ed Us session yesterday at the Memorial
Lutheran church on Sixth street, near Ex
change Btreet. The following oftieors were
selected:
President — Rev. A. Lohre, Minneapolis.
Recording Secretary — L. E. Lagerstrom,
Minneapolis.
Corresponding Secretary— G. W. Merrill,
St. Paul.
Treasurer — W. Lundgren, St. Paul.
The entire forenoon and greater part of
the afternoon was spent discussing the
constitution which provides for a feder
ated organization of the Luther leagues
of the state. St. Paul's league, and St.
I.uke's. of Goodhue, applied for member
ship, ami were favorably considered.
Late In the afternoon M. S. Kindseth
read a paper on "How to Read the Bible."
He spoke of the danger of not reading
the guide to all life in the right spirit.
Primarily the object of reading the Bible,
and the way to get the most good out
of it was to thoroughly enter into the
spirit of the text. It should be read
thoughtfully, prayerfully and systemati
cally.
"The Kstablishment of Luther League
Libraries" was the subject of a paper
read by Rev. A. Lohre, of Minneapolis.
He thought the library a valuable ad
junct to the church work of the young
people. Great care, however, should bo
exercised in the selection of authors and
books. Much of the literature of the
present day was of a low standard, with
bad sentiments. The value and moral ef
fec( of good books, however, could acarce
i. ii.. measured."
At the afternoon session Miss Lydla
E. Lagerstrom made a report -on the
laijt national convention, held In New
York. The subjects of the two gatherings
before the last one had been "Loyalty,"
"Literature," and the. latter, "Labor." She
spoke of tlie enthusiasm which character

NINE SITES IN HIND
MARKET COMMITTEE CALLS FOR
PLANS AND ASSESSED VALUA
TION OF SEVERAL BLOCKS
THREE OF THEM NEW ONES
\n Informal Ballot Showed Thiit
Fotir of the Cummlttefe Are in
Favor of the liround Bounded by-
Robert, Javksou, Ninth and Tenth
Streets Belief That a Locution
Con Be Secured In Two Months.
The joint council committee appointed
to consider and select sites for a market
under the law recently passed by the
legislature held its first meeting yesterday
afternoon. After two hours talk the city
engineer was directed to prepare plans
with assessed valuation of the following
tracts:
Block bounded by Robert, Minnesota,
Ninth and Tenth streets.
Block bounded by Third, Franklin,
Fourth and lSxehange streets.
Block bounded by Fourth, Fifth, Frank
lin and Exchange streets.
Tract containing 340 feet on Jackson
and Temperance streets and 236 feet on
Tenth street.
Block bounded by Robert, Minnesota,
Kighth and Ninth streets.
Block bounded by Ninth, Tenth, Jack
son and Robert streets.
Block bounded by Cedar, Minnesota,
Ninth anfl Tenth streets.
Block bounded by Eagle, Exchange,
Chesnut and Franklin streets.
Block bounded by Viola street. Park,
University and Sherburne avenues.
Three of the proposed sites which are
to be considered by the committee are
new ones, In that they were not brought
up in the recent comedy enacted by the
council in relation to a market site.
An informal ballot taken by the com
mittee which consists of Aid. Kenny,
Bantz and Donahower, ' Assemblymen
Benson, Warner and Nelson, and City
Engineer Rundlett, resulted In four votes
being cast for the site, bounded by
Hubert, Jackson, Ninth and Tenth streets,
and three for the Eagle street site.
Aid. Kenny stated that the first men
tioned block could be secured for $120,000,
and as it was in a central location he
was of the opinion that it was a bargain.
A resolution to except the Broadway,
Eagle street and Eissnminger sites from
consideration by the committee was voted
down.
Assemblyman Warner said the cost of
the site should not be considered by the
committee. What the city wanted was
a market in a central location.
Aid. Donahower favored all the sites be
ing considered, and that plans be drawn
by the city engineer of each, and the
amount of the assessed valuation bei
added by the city clerk bo the commit
tee could act intelligently. This was
agreed to, and the committee adjourned,
to meet at the call of the chairman, As
semblyman Benson, as soon as the engi
neer had prepared the blue prints.
I T nder the law the committee will re
port to the council, and that body will
then select the most desirable site which
will be submitted to a board of appraisers
of five citizens to place a value on it.
Then will follow the usual condemnation
proceedings.
Assemblyman Benson was of the opin
ion that the site could be secured within
a couple of months, but other members
were not so sanguine, and placed the limit
at five months, particularly as the con
demnation proceedings would allow dis
satisfied owners to appeal to the courts.

CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
RECEIVES REPORTS OF THE
YEAR'S WORK
Last Twelve Months Has Been a Sat.
lsfMctory Period In More Respects
Than One— —Financial Statement
of the Trustees.
The annual meeting of the Central Pres
byterian church was held last evening in
.the church parlors and reports ■ made by
the various auxiliary branches of the
church. Rev. A. B. Meldrum, pastor, pre
sided, and before the close of the meet-
Ing delivered an address full of hope for
the future, and praise for the earnest
and efficient labors of- the church workers
in putting the church on firm financial
basis.
The year had been one of many activi
ties and the new year full of promise.
I>r. Meldrum spoke of the earnest self
sacrificing efforts of the congregation in
raising a part of the church debt. Since
July Ist the church has been paying its
way. He stated that it required $164 per
week to meet the current and incidental
expenses of the church, which had been
paid from the weekly envelope collections.

Webster Smith, of the session, reported
the total membership of the church as
t>so, being a net increase during year of
twenty-five. Three had been removed by
death and thirty-three dismissed to other
churches. The attendance at the Sunday
morning and evening services had been
all that could have been desired. The
session felt greatly encouraged over the
outlook for the future and had at all
times been assisted by the guiding wis
dom of the pastor.
B. H. Schriber, superintendent of the
Sunday-school, reported great progress
in the primary department, but a slight
falling off in the attendance In the inter
mediate department. E. O. Duncan, treas
urer of the Sunday-school, reported the
total receipts from collections $634.23.
President Wright, of the Christian En
deavor, gave some of the older members
of the church some food for thought
when he reported the total membership
of the society at 153. The society had
purchased and almost entirely paid for
a piano. A missionary library had been
established in the church parlors, and the
society had lent entire support to an
American missionary in India. J. A. For
sell, treasurer of the Christian Endeavor
society, reported the total disbursements
for the year at $638.59.
Mrs. A. Cattanach submitted her report

and other work was $204.25. A similar re
port was made by Miss A. M. McClung
for the Home society, showing $74 con
tributed for the work.
The report of the board of deacons was
read. As the work of the board was of
such a nature that detailed publicity
would not attain the best end, treasurer
■Duncan merely reported that twelve fam-

teresting experiments were undertaken
by the society for revenue. $133 was col
lected during the year.
B. S. Osgood and Dr. F. B. Kendrlck

selves. K. P. I-owls and Webster Smith
were selected aa eiders, also to succeed
themselves.
The recommendation of the session that
two additional deacons and elders be
elected was turned down In the first par
ticular, but after some discussion two
new elders were voted for, resulting in
the election of Andrew Cavanaugh and,
Dr. 10. C. Merrltt. D. C. Murray was

BMK OF WEST ST. PAUL CLOSED
l)\Mi EXAMINER POPE ORDERS A
SUSPENSION OP BUSINESS PEND
ING EXAMINATION
Will Relinquish Possession of the
A»setM If He Finds That the Ac
tion Is Warranted — — Last State
ment of the Institution.
Public Examiner Pope took possession
of the assets of the Bank of West St.
Paul at the close of business yester
day, and ordered further transactions
suspended, pending &n .investigation of
its affairs. Gen. Pope was seen last night
and said that there was a provision in
the banking laws which would permit the
department to relinquish possession of
the assets if a detailed examination Indi
cated that the action was warranted.
He intended to make this, rule applicable
to the West Side bank, and would allow
It to resume business if It appeared clear
ly to the interest of the depositors.
Gen. Pope stated that he took posses
sion of the bank to protect the depositors.
To have allowed It to continue doing bus
iness would have meant an assessment
of 100 per cent, which was the limit of
the liability of the stockholders. The
holders of the stock would not consent
to this, and the action was taken in the
intfrest of the bank's patrons.
Gen. Pope said he thought the deposi
tors would be fully protected, but as to
the stockholders, he was unable to say
until a more detailed examination had
been accomplished.
"The Bank of West St. Paul went Into
the hands of a receiver in 1897," said Gen.
Pope, "and ought never to have been re
organized. This office has nothing to
criticise in the conduct of the institution
since that time. It has been doing busi
ness in a hopeful way for the last two
years, but has not accomplished any
great result. The records in the office do
not say when the bank was organized,
but it Increased Its capital stock from
$50,000 to $100,000 In 1886. C. F. Staples was
appointed receiver in January, 1897, and
an assessment of 25 per cent was levied
in June of the same year. The bank reor
ganized Nov. 1, 1897. A short time before
that Its capital stock was decrease!
again to $50,000.
The following is a copy of the statement
made by the bank examiner's office, In
accordance with the call issued April 9:

WILL, BE AT PLYMOUTH.
ErangelUt Hmrtsougrh to Conduct a
Series of Down Town Meetings.
The people of St. Paul In the central
part of the city, are to have an oppor
tunity to hear in a few days, a man who
has been drawing audiences that have
tested the capacity of the largest build
ings in the places which he ha 3 visted.
Several times It has happened that no
opera house, rink building or church has
been large enough, and hundreds have
at times been turned away.
Plymouth church, Wabasha and Sum
mit, has arranged for his coming, and
Sunday next is preparing for a crowded
house. Mr. Hartsough has had an ex
perience so wide that the records of his
work come from widely separated
sources. Part of the man's drawing qua'
ities will probaly be found In the unusual
ways in which he presents truth, sug
gesting new phases, as the St. Joe Daily
News has It; while still another paper re
fers to his humor by saying "as droll as
Trtemus Ward."
Those who years ago were familiar with
the speech and metheds of evangelists,
would find it perhaps difficulty to recon
cile time-honored opinions with those
used by Mr. Hartsough. But when It Is
stated that In some places where the
audiences have been entirely men, this*
man has so forcibly presented truth that
the entire town life has been changed, it
may be assumed that the methods now
used are not without value.
Plymouth chuich feels particularly glad
at the opportunity of offering to the resi
dents of the town district, the addresses
of this speaker.
TO LIFT ITS DEBT.
First Presbyterian Church Will
Make an Effort In That Direction.
The members of the First Presbyterian
church at the corner of Grotto street and
Lincoln avenue, held a meeting last night
at the church parlors to devise ways and
means for raising the debt upon the
church which consists of a mortgage of
$5,000 and accrued interest of $1,500. The
Rev. John Sinclair acted as moderator of
tho meeting. The report of the financial
condition of the church showed that its
debt was originally something over $13,000,
but the congregation had raised $3,200 and
that together with outside contributions
had reduced It over one-half. Those
present were very enthusiastic In the ex
pression of their desires to make another
effort and extinguish the debt entirely,
each promised to give all he could and
to devote his time and energy to tha
consummation of the end sought.
A committee consisting of Messrs. Sin
clair, Cooper and McCullough was ap
pointed on management, empowered to
appoint other committees for the solicit
ing of money. The Rev. Mr. Sinclair
Hon. George L. Becker, "W. S. Combs W
P. Jewett and W. H. Tinker were ap
pointed a committee on church history
and will report the financial history of
the church at the next meeting which will
be held within the next few days and at
which meeting a plan of operation will be
developed.

MADE A FATAL ERROR
RALPH W. DUNCAN FOUND DYING
IN HIS BBD YESTERDAY
KORXINO
HAD TAKEN SOME MEDICINE
Sometime During the Night, It Is
Supposed, ,«nd Had Gotten the
Bottles Conjtused A Popular
Young Jlun AU «I an Employe In
the Northern .Pacific Yardmaster's
Office.
Ralph W. Duiican. a clerk in the yard
masters office at the Northern Paclflo
yards, was found dying In his bed at his
residence, 87 North Victoria street yester
day morning, from the effects of a dose
of poison of some kind. Physicians were
summoned at 'once, but death followed
within an hour.
The unfortunate death of the young
man caused general sorrow and surprise.
After completing his day's work Tuesday,
he walked home, and seemed In the best
of spirits. It is thought that during the
night he was seized with a sudden sick
ness, and rising, went to his dressing
case and took a dose of the deadly drug,
supposing it was medicine, and confusing
the bottles! In the dark.
Mr. Duncan was a young man Qf twen
ty-eight years, and has been employed
under Yardmaster Craig, of the Northern
Pacific for several years. He was very
popular among his associates, and his
death, which is believed to have been ac
cidental because no possible reason Is
known for him to have committed suicide,
gives deep regret among those who know
him. He was a bright young man, and
those who know him best state that he
has always been regarded as an efficient
employer with bright prospects for ad
vancement.
BICYCLE INSURANCE.
Companies Must Conform to the Law
or Cease Writing It.
Insurance Commissioner O'Shaughnessy
will compel all bicycle Insurance com
panies to quit, doing business In Minne
sota, or qualify under the Insurance laws
of the state. Attorney General Dona
hower yesterday submitted an opinion to
the insurance commissioner upon the sub
ject in which he held that according to
the popular usage of the word Insurance
bicycle "protective" associations were
properly insurance companies, and sub
ject to state regulation, the same as other
insurance companies.
The Union Wheelmen's protective asso
ciation of Chicago have been operating in
Minnesota without any license whatever
from the state.and Mr.O'Shaughnessy sub
mitted the companies prospectus to the
attorney general in- the nature of a test
case. Mr. O'Shaughhessy will immediately
advise all bicycle insurance companies of
the policy of the department, and unless
an immediate compliance with the law Is
had action will be commenced by the
state, against ageats handling their busi
ness.
The ne<w law passed during the last ses
sion of the legislature requires bicycle
companies to qualify the same as other
insurance companies, before the insur
ance commissioner is authorized to grant
them a license. Practically, the only dif
ference In the requirements of these com
panies is a deposit of $25,000 with the state
treasurer, which Is a quarter of the
amount required by fire-companies.
The law passed by. the last legislature,
however, encourages the organization of
local bicycle Insurance companies, as a
result several new companies are being
formed in the Twin Cities, one of which
1b being organized by one of the Ramsey
county officials/ The law requires that
home companies must have a capital of
$25,000, which must be subaoribed Bix
months from date of its charter, $10,000
must be subscribed before any business
can be written.
The bicycle companies now operating in
the state Insure wheels for $2 per year.
They have made no report, nor compiled
In any way with the Insurance laws.

WAITING AN OPINION.
Water Board Wants Markham's
Ideas of the Frontage Tax Law.
The question as to the result of the law
passed by the legislature reducing the
number of years for which a water front
age tax could be collected from ten to
five was not discussed at the meeting of
the board of Water commissioners, yes
terday.
Secretary Caulfleld had requested the
corporation attorney's offlce to give an
opinion on the constitutionality of the
law, but the opinion had not been re
ceived. Some months ago the legal de
partment was requested for an opinion as
to the constitutionality of the law passed
by the legislature in 1897, which entirely
repealed the water a frontage tax. This
opinion was never received, but It is ex
pected that between now and Saturday
to which time 1 the- commissioners ad
journed, opinions on both questions will
be delivered byj.the legal department
City Engineer Rundlett submitted a
plan and map showing the right of way
for the canal which it is proposed to
construct between Bald Eagle and Otter
lakes. The canal will be about half a
mile long and a right of way of fifty feet
is to be secured for this purpose. The en
gineer also submitted a plan' showing the
land necessary to -be condemned on the
shores of Centerville and Peltier lakes In
order that a dam may be constructed at
the outlet of Peltier lake and make an lm-
pounding reservoir of both bodies of
water.
In order to prevent damage from over
flow and at the same time keep the
waters of the lakes from being contami
nated by farm stables and stock farms
along the shores, It will be necetisary to
condemn about 650 acres of land. The
matter will be taken up by the board on
Saturday.
The following were appointed hose and
rate Inspectors to serve from May 1 to
Sept. 1, at salaries of $1.50 each per day:
James Mullaney, Louis Grathwol, O.
Hultengren, Homer Davis, D. E. Elfen
beln and David Krlbs.
William Schnlttger was appointed a
special policeman at Lake Fhalen to keep
cows out of the lake and also to prevent
parties from using the lake as a bathing
resort. The salary of the special will be
$50 per month from May 1 to Oct. 1.
Tho contract with Patrick Doherty for

lecture entitled the "Crown of the Con
tinent" this evening at the Y. M. C. A.

lakes, streams, cascades, cataracts,
gorges, perpetual snow fields, valleys,
and basins. The latest and best appar

tary Lomen to the effect that both of

It is understood from police headquar
ters that the services of George Wells
acting detective, one of the men who
secured the capture and arrest of Charles
Raaen and Edward Beaver, the two boys
who robbed Michael Trcaey, will be re
warded for his services with a promo
tion from the rank of patrolman, which
he now holds, to that of detective. The
