The dairy and food department is grati fied that Minnesota maintains so marked id in this matter. "It would cer tainly be no little honor if the contest is pulled off to have half of the total num ber of applicants from Minnesota. It would not only be a tribute to the en terprise of the dairymen of the state, but It would increase Minnesota's chances to share in the best prizes of the i," says Commissioner McCon ftell. The creamery industry continues to boom in Minnesota. A Chicago bulletin, which chronicles all the new creameries from week i>> week, has for the past six Weeks given more space to Minnesota than to any other state in the Union. 3>ast week's list announced proposed new aeries in the following places: Perley, Brown's Valley, Green Meadow, Elysian, Florn, Arlington, Erskine, Jas per, lona.

JAPAN WOULD LEARN INVITES AMERICANS TO EXHIBIT AT INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION AT OSAKA EAGER TO COMPARE METHODS Japanese Manufacturers Hope to Profit by Study of Achievements of Western Invention—De tails Announced. The dairy and food department yester day received circulars from the Japan ese department of agriculture and com merce giving detailed information con cerning the great National Industrial ex position to be held at Osaka, Japan, in ISO 3, March to July, which was noted in The Globe some weeks ago. The most interesting feature of this exposition is the establishment of a spe cial building for samples of articles pro duced or manufactured in foreign coun tries. It is not concealed that the pri mary object of this invitaticm is to af ford Japanese manufacturers an oppor tunity to study the latest products cf Western invention, with a view to the improvement of Japanese industries; but it is claimed that in return the establish ment of the building in question offers to foreign manufacturers a rare opportu nity for exploiting the rapidly developing markets of the whole far East, as the ex position is expected to attract immense crowds of visitors from the continental countries of Asia, in addition to the mil lions of Japanese. For the benefit of Americans intending to offer exhibits a number of rules and information are given, among them the following: .Every application for exhibition Should be accompanied by detailed explanations of such exhibits. In case of machinery, the application should also be accom panied by a drawing or drawings. In ca^e machines are to be worked at the exhibi tion, their horse power should be men tioned. If any intending exhibitor desires to erect at his expense a special building for the accommodation of his own ex hibits, he should forward a detailed de scription of the proposed structure and the dimensions of such building, togeth er with the aforementioned application for exhibition. Accepted applicants for exhibition are required to have their exhibits brought to, and arranged in, the building between Jan. 5 and Feb. 20, 1903. In case exhib itors may be unable to comply with the aforementioned requirement, the arrang ing of their exhibits shall be undertaken by the office of the chief commissioner on their request, such request to be sent in writing, together with the exhibits, to the brtvieh of the above-mentioned office at Osaka, not later than Feb. 15, 1903. All expenses connected with the pack ing and the transportation of exhibits to and from the exhibition shall be borne by the exhibitors. Exhibitors shall have no right to object to the photographing or sketching of their exhibits or to the printing of such photographs or sketches by the office of the chief commissioner. No person shall be allowed to photo graph cr make sketches of any exhibit without the consent of the office of the chief commissioner. Any person wishing to photograph or make a sketch of any object or scene within the building must Jirst procure the permission of the office of the chief commissioner. Admission to the exposition is 2y 2 cent 3 for the main building, and 1% cents for the aquarium. ADJUST LOSS IN CHURCH COMPANIES WILL, PAY -PEOPLE'S CHURCH TRUSTEES $49,500. The loss on the People's church, which was destroyed some time ago by fire, was adjusted yesterday, the insurance companies agreeing to pay the full face of the policies which will amount to $49,500. contrary to expectations tne walls of the church have been discovered to be in excellent condition and if the cnurcti is to be reuuilt on the same site they can be used. This report was made yesterday by a special committee appointedt by the church to look into the matter. While "ie congregation of the People's church has taken no definite action as to the rebuilding of their church, the general sentiment appears to be in favor of the erecting of a building on the same site. Action on the matter has been Deferred until a report on the condition of vie walls was received. Inasmuch as the walls are estimated to be worth $30,000 there is little question that they will be utilized. Those of the congregation who have gone —.^0 the matter of rebuilding are of the opin.on that with the insurance money, the walls and about $20,00) addi tional, a suitable structure can be erected without any debt being contracted. OVERCOME BY GOAL GAS MRS. RO,SA FISHER HAS NARROW ESCAPE PROM DEATH. .Mrs. Rose Fisher, living at 1240 Atlan tic street, had a narrow escape from be ing asphyxiated in her home yesterday morning. Her son, Edward Fisher, arose early in the morning and went to his work at the harvester works, not think ing it strange that his mother had not arisen, as she usually remained in bed until after he had gone to work. The neighbors saw no one about the house during the forenoon, and at 3 o'clock one of them thinking something was wrong went to the house. He found Mrs. Fisher unconscious, and her eight-year-old grandson in a serious state of asphyxi ation. Dr. Whitecmb was called, and worked for an hour and a half before the woman could be brought to consciousness. The "boy's condition was not so serious but he was also in bad shape. Dr. Whitcomb reported last night that Mrs. Fishe would recover. The gas came from a coal heater which had not been properly operated and emit ted gas into the room. When the son went to his work he replenished the fire but did not close the draughts prjfberly' Wrestling at the Empire tonight. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. C. W.

PAUL GLOBE, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1902. NO FEAR OF THE TRUST CREAMERY COMBINE MAKING NO HEADWAY IN MINNESOTA. Creamery Inspector D. B. White, of the state dairy and food department, says the creamery trust is practically beaten, although it is still pursuing its well known tactics in Minnesota. "The trust," says Mr. White, "is still secur ing a considerable number of patrons by making flattering offers to the patrons of regular creameries who do not seem to be satisfied with the creameries they are dealing with. This is but a tempo rary gain, however, as the disgruntled ones very soon become equally tired of the trust methods and come back to the creameries and become their best patrons. I am sure that we have the creamery trust practically crippled and practically unable to make any head way among our farmers. We have car ried our agitation on throughout the state, and the farmers are not to be caught any more by the apparently gen erous offers of the trust agents." DEFICIT IS NO BAR SCHOOL BOARD DECIDES TO PRO CEED WITH CONTEMPLATED IMPROVEMENTS IGNORE M'CARDY'S STATEMENT Juggler of Figures Assert* That Al :;.. lowance of $12.~.000 Has Dwindled to a Paltry $45, 000. Last December the conference commit tee and the common council insered in tne budget an item of $125,000 for the con struction of new school buildings and the purchase of new sit?s. Acting on the supposition that the amount was in the city treasury to their credit the members of the school board planned for n«w school buildings to the amount of over $100,000. City Comptroller McCardy now informs the board that there is no. such amount to its credit, the best he can do Icing $45,000. This unexpected state of affairs fur nished the theme for a lively discussion of the meeting of the board last night and was prolific in remarks anything'but complimentary to the council and My. McCardy, to whom the blame is credited by the board. To be brirf, Mr. McCardy informed the board that a goodiy portion of the $125,000 which was allowed by the council had been used in paying off contracts already in existence-, and that all the board can now contract against is what remains, about $45,000. The confc-fence committee and the council might have promised in times past a stated amount, but it was never realized when the taxes were paid. "Well, it's not our business to keep track of mistakes that the council and Mr. McCardy make," remarked one ot the members. "We were promised so much money and it's up to them to see that we get it." One cause of the shortage was credited by Mr. McCardy to the fact that the miscellaneous receipts had been over estimated. After arguing the matter at length, the board decided that it was not at fault and decided upon the passage of a resolution instructing the placing oi contracts for all the improvements for which bids had Jjeen asked and received. "This will put the whole thing up to the council," said one member, "and they can busy themselves trying to tind out why the money is not there. We have done our duty." The substance of the whole thing is that there will be few new buildings built or enlarged this year. Mr. McCardy says that the money recehed has been used in paying old bills and he will not countersign any contracts against more money than there is in the treasury to the credit of the school building fund. The board organized by re-electing Ber nard Zimmermann as president, and James P. Healy as secretary. George N. Gerlach was re-elected superintendent ot schools and his salary increased $300. He will not receive $1,800 a year. SMITH AND RIES MEN TWO ROISIXG MEETINGS HEID I* THE EIGHTH WARD. Two rousing metlngs were held in the Fighth ward last night by the Robert A. Smith and Ries club.

SCHNEIDER ASKS COURT TO AWARD HER HEAVY DAMAGES IN CONSEQUENCE APPRAISES INJURY AT $6,000 Counsel for Defense Contends That Alleged Pugnacious Ram Was a Lamb Only Five Months Old. A damage suit which in itself possesses some unique features and which upon being- presented in court has developed other points slightly out of the ordinary is that of Bertha Schneider against John Mulholland and his wife, Mary Mulhol land. The action is a consequence of an exuberant demonstration of rude playful ness on the part of a ram owned by the Mulhollands, which incident, it is said, re sulted in serious bodily injury to the plaintiff. Mrs. Schneider, whose age is ninety three years, lives on Siegel street and in close proximity to the home of the Mulhollands and their ram. From the al legations of the plaintiff it appears that on Dec. 2 last while she was standing outside her house the Mulholland ram, straying over that way, charged her fiercely from a direction in which she was not looking and knocked her down, caus ing a fracture of her thigh bone. She demands $6,000 damages for her injuries. When the case was taken up for trial yesterday the pleadings were first called into question, C. D. O'Brien, for the de fendants, objecting that there was no re ply on file. Mr. Bjorn. counsel for tne plaintiff, thought no reply was necessary, but the court took the other view of tne question and permitted the plaintiff to file a reply on payment of $10 costs. Incidentally Mr. O'Brien asked the court to take judicial notice of the fact that a lamb of the tender age of five months, even though of the male sex, and therefore designated as a ram, could not by nature be of a vicious disposition. Tradition and natural history tended to show that lambs were playful, but, with out regarding ail the teachings of litera ture on the subject, it could not be ac cepted that a lamb would be vicious. The plaintiff did not appear in court, and it was explained that she was still suffering from her injuries and unable to leave her home. WILL ASIC GEORGE'S PAPA.

Charges Husband With Cruelty. Mrs. Mary Schaefcr has filed suit in the district court against Frederick W. Schaefer for divorce. She alleges that the defendant, by his cruelty, has per manently impaired her health and ruined her hearing, and also charges him with drunkenness and desertion. The com plaint states that the plaintiff and de fendant were married at Owatonna Jan. 8 1895, at which time the plaintiff was twenty years of oge and defendant twen ty-two years. There is a son now five years of age. The desertion is alleged to date from October, 1899. Snit Is Transferred. The suit of Minnie L.
