HANAX SELLS OUT.
Big Plymouth Clothing House Bays
the Shoe Company's Stock.
The Plymouth Clothing house has Just
closed another mammoth shoe deal, and
as a result will offer to the public the
entire stock of Hannan's Minneapolis and
St. Paul stores, at Plymouth prices. The
following signed statement will explain
the deal:
"\Ve have sold out to the Plymouth cur
entire stock of shoe*, both in our Min
neapolis and St. Paul stores, and have
also made the Plymouth sole agents for
the sale of llanan shoes in both cities
■ T!ie rhoe "aleSroona of. the Plymouth
Clothing is one of the larjjefat and
most skillfully managed shoe stores in the
United States.
"The oxiierne low rent and imorov.d
system under which this great shoe busi
ness is carried on must result in a saving
tc the public in both time and m >ney.
(Signed* —"Hanan Shoe Company,
"John H. Hanan, President."
This Is the second big purchase of shoes
mode by the Plymouth within the last
few week-s. About a month ago tiie Plym
outh bought out Heffelfinxer Bros.' big
stock and retail business in Minneapolis,
and has since been closing out the stock.
It has been known for some time that
the Hanan Shoe company was contem
plating closing its retail stores in the
Twin Cities. The company finally, picked
cut the 1 'vmouth as the most desirable
agentp, and Mr. Hanan came to this city
some three or four weeks ago with the
intention of selling to the Plymouth. As
a result of this decision on the part of
the Hanan Shoe company, the Plymouth
was able to buy the stock at a rather low
I figure and make a very advantageous pur
chase.
The sale, which was consummated only
a f«w u:\yx ago, was one of the biA<cs,'t
mercantile deals which has been 3 o«ed
ia this city for a long time.

LAWYER WANTS HIS FEE.
Attorney Davis Says That Inspector
ilaa.s Orves Him Money.
Building Inspector Samuel Haas In a
complaint in a civil action filed in the
municipal court yesterday afternoon, is
accused of having been arrested in this
city in 1896 and taken back to Austin,
Minn., on the charge of violating the inn
keepers' act. The suit is entered by Al
fred B. Davis, an attorney, who demands

Haas was arrested here, and that at the

with the building Inspector, and the of
ficer alleged to have arrested him, to
Austin. At Austin, Attorney Davis

own recognizance upon a $1,000 bond For
such service he charged $50, which he al
leges Haas has never paid.
Another action was begun against Haas
to recover $100 on a promissory note The

LIKES BIS PRESENT CHARGE
May Conolnde to Remain, Although
the New England Offer Is Said to
Be a Good One—Plymouth Society
Holds ii* Anuunl Election and
Receives KnporlN of the Tear*
Work.
Officers for the copiing year were elect
ed at a meeting of the Plymouth Con
gregational Church society, held last
night. Reports were read covering the
business year, and plans made for the
work of the church during 1900. The close
of the fiscal year found the church In
better condition than for three years past.
The election of officers resulted In the
choice of S. R. McGraw to succeed him
self as president; H. P. Anderson, vice
president, re-elected; Edward A. "freed, I
treasurer, succeeding G. G, Sanborn;
Warren Upham, clerk, re-elected; Robert
McLean, collector, re-elected. As trus
tees for a period of three years J. D.
Humphrey, H. C. Osgood and S. S. Crooks
were re-elected. C. L. Rumsey, F. H-.
Sickels, A. M. Stokes and F. Gaslln were
chosen as ushers. The election of Mr.
Reed as treasurer terminates the faith
ful services of Mr. Sanborn, who for more
than ten years has attended to the duties
of the office. His name was proposed for
re-election, but, at his own request, a
successor was chosen.
The treasurer's report showed that dur
ing the year the church has collected and
expended for all purposes slightly more
than $4,500. It has cleared up a number
of outstanding liabilities and enters the
new year with a mortgage of $3,500 and
two outstanding notes, with excellent
prospect of liquidating every liability 4n
another twelve months. A plan was pro
posed giving the expenses of choir and
music Into the hands of the ladies' so
ciety, thus relieving the treasurer from
liabilities of about $500 a year.
The church clerk reported Increased
membership, about 350 names standing on
the rolls. Reports from the Sunday
school showed a large growth during the
year, with encouraging prospects. The
church trustees reported that the ex
penses of the church for last year were |
set at a figure considerably higher than i
before, and that these, with such liabili
ties as held over from the preceding year,
were successfully met.
Rev. George A. Soper, pastor of the
church, made an address to the society, in
which he pointed out many grounds for
congratulation in the work accomplished.
He considered the condition of the body
excellent, and found cause to predict a
still.jnore successful record for 1900.
There is a possibility that the Plymouth
church may loose Mr. Soper to an East
era congregation. Reports are current
that a tender has been made him by a
committee from the First Congregational
church, of Danbury, Conn., the oldest
church in the state. Asked as to the
truth of the report, Mr. Soper said:
"A committee has tendered me a call
to the First Church of .Danbury. but I
have not given them an answer yet. I
have not decided whether I shall accept
their call or remain with the Plymouth
church. There is a possibility that I
may decide to gro East, but it is as yet
somewhat remote. I have been given a
week more in which to consider the mat
ter, and will not give them an answer
until the expirativii of that time. My re
lations with the Plymouth church have
been most cordial and of a nature which
prompts me to remain In St. Paul."
The First Congregational church of
Danbury, was founded 200 years ago, and
is one of the oldest churches In New
England. It has a membership of between
600 and 700, and owns a parsonage costing
$11,000. It has long been considered one
of tha most influential churches of the
denomination In the East, and the tender
of Its pastorate made Mr. Soper is a
most flattering offer.
Rev. George A. Soper <jame to the Ply
mouth church from Alexandria, Minn
He is president of the State Christian En
deavor union, and ranks as one of the
leading Congregational pastors of the
church as well as In religious circles out
side his own denomination.

I ent state of health is as gratifying as
it is surprising.
When questioned about his case the
wing shot champion grew warm in his
praise for Dodds Kidney Pills.
"Why everybody told mo Bright's Dis
ease wap incurable," said he. "Doctors i
couldn't fix me, and I never had any hope i
of getting cured. I suffered from kidney '
trouble several years before I found I '
had Erlght's Disease. Brighfs Disease is !
the last stage of kidney dhsease,, and once i
it Bets In you are a dead man—that Is j
it used to be that way. Now it seems all
you've got to do is to take Dodd's Kidney
Pills and get cured."
"WouM you make a statement of your
case for the press?" asked the corre
spondent.
"You can say I was a sufferer from kid- '
ney disease for several year?, ar.d it rap- i
idly developed into Brighfs Disease I j
was persuaded to take Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and must say that they completely
restored my kidneys to a healthy condi
tion, and I attribute my present good
health to Dodds Kidney Pills, and un
hesitatingly recommend them to suffer- !
era from Brighfs Dlseas- and other kid
ney troubles."

will be announced on Saturday. A meet
ing of the directors will be held in the
afternoon at which a choice will be made.
It is understood that the selection has
practically been made, but nothing has
been made public regarding its character.
It was .stated yesterday by a director
that the feature will be one which will
astonish St. Paulltes, and will be a
drawing attraction.
Chairman Feldhauser's committee on
promotion and publicity met yesterday
and decided to begin the work of adver
tising the carnival at once. Posters will
be printed and Bpread throughout the
state. One hundred thousand stickers
will be purchased and distributed by
traveling r/.en. These will be plastered
throughout the entire Northwest wherev
er an opportunity offers, and the idea
seems t > the committee one which will
bring good results.
The committee on clubs has organized
its work and has appointed sixty sub-,
commltteemen, drawn from social, fra
ternal and other organizations and the
business firms and interests of the city.
Each will have charge of the work of
organizing a club in hla own particular
field. Every large concern in St. Paul
will have a special organizer, and the
work has been thorough and complete.
Five thousand additional badges have
been ordered by the directors. The sum
of $100 has been granted to guarantee ex
| penses for the Skating association races
I during the carnival. The commercial
I travelers have organized, and will have a
large club In the field. A committee, con
sisting of C. Shadle, W. H. Capser, Theo.
Barker, J. M. Dresser and Ben Hirsch
man, has been appointed to direct its af
fairs.

Annual Reunion of the Association
at the Commercial Club.
Two score Twin City Carletonites
ga-thered at the Commercial club last
evening- and observed the annual reunion
of the Twin City Carleton club. The
musical entertainment was preceded by
a banquet and speaking. Among those
present were." Mr. and Mrs. James F.
Jackson, W. B. Clow, Mons S. Baker, J.
W. Strong, Miss M. J. Evans, Prof. A.
H. Pearson, Air. and Mrs. Pierce Butler,
Harriet A. Hale, A.. C. Flnney, William

Miss Fernald, j. K. Mcßroom, A. R.
Bixby, H. E. Carleton, F. E. Lurton,
William Sudduth, Miss Bailey, Katabel
Chadbourne, Mrs. Nessly and Miss Cook.
Pierce Butler Introduced James F.
Jackson as toastmaster at the conclusion
of the supper. Miss Evans was the first
speaker. She referred to the advantages
of students attending smaller colleges
through the close personal association
with the instructors. Prof. Freeman
Lurton, of Monticello, and Dr. Louise B.
Richardson, both spoke. The latter told
of the $50,000 endowment which had been
given the college contingent upon an ad
ditional $100,000 being raised for the col
lege. A flattering start had been made and
the faculty fostered large hopes that the
full amount might be secured. The
speaker stated that at Wesley college
over 800 girls were enrolled and the
faculty hardly knew what to do with
them all. In calling upon the nsxt speak
er, Prof. J. K. Mcßroom, Toastmaster
Jackson asked him to explain the best
disposition of the surplus at the Wesley
institution. Prof. Mcßroom pleaded .for
an extension of time, as he already had
his hands full with one, and 800 was more
than a quantum sufficiency.
Following the speechmaking a musical
programme was given by a number of
Carleton graduates.

SEEKING TAX ABATEMENT.
St. Pa.nl Real Emote Holders Make
OfferH of. Compromise.
County Auditor Johnson and Clerk of
Courts, Rogers held a conference with
Deputy* Auditor Iverson yesterday regard
ing the application of a large number of
local property owners for abatement of
taxes. Next May, in compliance with
a law passed by the la3t legislature, there
will be a general clearing up of the tax
rolls, and a great many St. Paul people,
who own large blocks of real* estate in
various parts of the city, have made a
compromise proposition to the board of
abatement. In nearly all cases these
propositions are for more than 50 per
cent of the amount charged against the
property. Before these propositions can
bo accepted they must be approved not
only by the local board, but by the county
auditor and state auditor.
There is a disposition on the part of the
county officials to accept these cash of
fers for settlement, as in many cases
they will exceed the amount that would
be netted, afer final Judgment was enter
ed and the sale conducted. Mr. Johnson
has expressed his intention of accepting
these offers, and Mr. Iverson, while not
stating what position his department
would take, gave his official visitors to
understand that the atate auditor would
approve of any plan that would bring the
best results. The property In question for
the most part Is that upon which there
are delinquent taxes for a number of
years back, together with interest and
penalties.
