A GRAIN FIRM IS FINED The Chamber of Commerce Imposes a $500 Penalty for Violation of Rules. The John Miller company, one of the best-known grain house in the northwest, was fined 5600 to-day by the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce. Owing to the high standing of the house, the news that it has been disciplined will be a great surprise to grain men the countiy over. But the firm has violated one of the rules of the Minneapolis chamber of which it is a member, and must pay th penalty. Some of the directors hesitated about Imposing the fine as it was clearly shown by the investigation that the violation in no sense reflected upon the standing of the house, but was on a technicality.

But a majority of the directors took the position that the rules must be enforced literally for every violation, intentional or otherwise. John Miller, former governor of North Dakota, is president of the company, which has offices here and in Duluth.

WANTS A SQUARE VOTE Herman Johnson Doesn't Wish to Win Through Absenteeism. "If any of the aldermen purposely ab sent themselves from the next meeting of the city council on my account, it wil be a cowardly trick." So declared Herman F. Johnson, third assistant city attorney, when informed this morning that it was quite certain that at least one city father would find it convenient to remain away from the meeting. When City Attorney Frank Healy named Albert C. Finney as Johnson's successor at the lasty council meeting, Alderman Lars Rfnd gave notice of a motion to reconsider the next meeting.

Until this motion is defeated Mr. Finney Will be unable to occupy the third assistant's chair, and Mr. Johnson is still holding his own. A the mo tion 'cannot be entertained unless a many aldermen are present as confirmed Mr. Healy's appointment, the prospects are not bright for the consideration of the motion.

"I intend to remain in this office until the motipn is Anally disposed of," said Mr. Johnson, "and I am not without hopes of securing a full attendance of the council. If I do, I have reason to believe that I will have enough support on the motion to reconsider to hold my place." THE0BALDI IS HERE "Wizard of the Violin" Who Will Give Concert To-night.

Yesterday the Scandia Ice company had a force of men at work scraping the snow from an area within the debatable territory on the frozen surface of Lake Calhoun.

It was all ready for the plowing and cutting which was to begin this morning, but a- rosy sunrise was put to blush by the "treated" area when day broke. Certain persons who evidently regard the operations of the ice company as encroachments on the rightful domain of skaters and ice yachtsmen had been busy during the night and the result was a batch of ice so offensive to every sense 'that it would have gone begging eveir in the torrid realm of eternal punishment. Altogether about 8,000 cakes of ice were ruined for domestic purposes. This is the second demonstration this season by those who wish to reserve certain portions of Calhoun for winter sport After the strenuous warfare of last winter and the season preceding, most of the Nationalthe companies cutting there agreed to certain restrictions as to the location and amount) the'delly'of'the cml'compaaieTIn order of ice to be taken from the lake. The sportsmen charge that the company whose ice suffered last night declined to make any agreement and has encroached upon the area which the other companies agree to keep out of.

On the other hand, a representative of the Scandia company says the company did make an agreement which it observed carefully until the other party to the same broke the pact. Officers of the company are disposed to adopt se vere measures to prevent further interference. Ho would you like to be the iceman?

At the first of the eighth grade commencements yesterday at the North high school, 134 pupils were graduated from the Blaine, Bremer, Logan and Sumner schools. The attendance of parents and friends was very large. A unique featm of the program of music and recitations was the bagpipe music of Joseph Hall, who appeared in Scotch costume and played national songs. Dr.

Jordan, in his address on the presentation of the diplomas, called attention to the fact that no city of the size of Minneapolis has so large an attendance in its public schools, although In some cities children are ad mitted at the age of 4. urged upon the parents the necessity of standing by the schools and pointed out the injury done by adverse criticism.

Sutherland of Minneapolis Is playing in the Isle of Pines disturbance. Three hundred Americans are said to be prepared to resist the encroachments of Cuban sovereignty even at the cannon's mouth, but no mention is made of Dr. Sutherland. This is all the more remaikable when it is remembered that the doctor was one of the most un compromising belligerents of the city council, in which his successor was recently seated. Inquiry at the Sutherland dental parlors this afternoon developed the fact that a letter had just been received from him, Under date of Jan.

14. The letter -was evidently written before the trouble had reached serious proportions, for the letter makes no mention of the impending revolution. Mrs. Sutherland is with her husband. They do not expect to return until March.

Dr. Sutherland is one of the most extensive property owners of the island and would naturally be involved in any dispute as to the right of the Cuban government to levy unlawful and oppressive taxes and spend the same in Cuba. AN EMBARRASSING POSITION C'U" Young Ladies Obliged to Pose The interesting subject, "Should Bachelors Be Forced to Marry Old MaidsVr became so tiresome because of its prosy treatment at a recent meeting of a university debating society that three prominent East Side young women arose to go. Just as they arose, in a lull in the debate, the chairman with rare presence of mind, asked: "Will all old maids in the audience who are in favor of putting bachelors to the us suggested please rise?" The girls were immediately made keenly conscious of their embarrassing situation and made haste to get back to their seats, but others had occupied them. The result was that the blushing trio, who are really uncommonly prepossessing, were forced to elbow their way toward the exit amid thunderous applause.

IN 100-PQBND LOTS Coal Being Dealt Out by the Sackful Some Hard Coal Arriving. Superintendents of Buildings' Are Watching the in Some Cases. -4 The temperature to-day called out the usual -crowd of coal seekers to the yards where the custom is to deal out anthracite in 100-pound sacks. The general situation is practically unchanged. Some hard coal is arriving almost daily and considerable soft coal.

Several of the big building superintendents are hedging in the use of fuel. The pinch has not reached the condition existing in Chicago, but care is taken to conserve the electrical power in the local office buildings. However, the condition of actual scarcity of fuel is not yet reached. Coal for the Canadian Pacific is passing through the city for Winnipeg. The road is using fuel from West Virginia and from Illnols.

This is shipped to the Transfer by the Omaha and north over the Great Northern. The local railroad companies object strongly because they are not allowed bydealers to handle the coal receipts promptly. In days of plenty, when notice of receipts of coal was sent to the fuel com'panies, allotment was made at once to different parts of the city and the cars were transferred in a hurry and got out of the way. No the coal companies, it is asserted, are not In a hurry to order carse set, saying they must keep a certain supply ahead. Scarcity of teams, of course, interferes in unloading what coal arrives, and the coal companies do not wish to pav for the labor of unloading into bins ajid then onto sleighs when one handling is sufficient.

This Is. believed to be one explanation of ASKS A ACCOUNTING Heir of James A. Bradley Asks the Probate Court's Aid. James M. Mason, one of the heirs of the late James A.

Mrs. Blumenauer some time ago brought suit to recover $8,000 life insurance from the Royal Arcanum. The company claimed that there was proof ot the death of the insured but the jury appeared to be satisfied and yesterday returned in favor of the plaintiff for full amount claimed.

Blumenauer disappeared from this city in August, 1895. i Early Is Convicted. William Early has been convicted of grand larceny in the second degree and is in the county jail awaiting sentence.

Whether or not the taking of claims for rebates on freight charges is larceny is a question which will have to be settled by the supreme court of the state. Such was the decision made by Judge Harrison this morning in the case of the state against Timothy M. Scanlon, charged with grand larceny in the first degree for the alleged theft of rebate claims from the St. Louis railroad. The case came on for trial yesterday.

A. S. Anderson, atorney for the defendant, moved to exclude the introduction of evidence on the ground that the facts as set forth in the Indictment were not sufficient to constitute a public offense. It was Anally agreed to allow the matter to go to the higher court on an appeal from an order overruling a demurrer. The question as to just what sort'of papers are susceptible of larceny and whether the claims for rebates mentioned in the indictment are such papers is a fine legal question and one which has never been passed upon in this state.

Johnson Is accused of having assaulted Otto Nue last July. After a jury had been duly empaneled this morning the complaining witness was called "upon to testify. Otto seemed a little excited. On being cross-examined, Nue began to answer disrespectfully. His use of profane language led the court to caution him that whisky had deprived him of discretion.

Otto thereupon broke out: "No, that Is not so it is a dd lie." The court at once sent him to jail. DRUNK IN COURT STILL THFY EXPAND Plans of State Fair ManagersTwo Imposing Buildings Called For This Ye'ar. Two Miles of Stone Sidewalk to Be for Evening Entertainments. The importance of the Minnesota State Fair is attested by the enthusiasm with which large plans are being made in the depths of a rigorous northwestern winter. At the annual meeting of the board of managers yesterday, plans for three large buildings were discussed and measures were taken to promote their speedy construction.

A the same time general arrangements were formulated for a fair next September which will eclipse all its predecessors. Many matters of detail were also attended to. Suggested designs for alive stock ampitheater propose a steel and brick building 200 by 300 feet with an ornate roof and cupola and a "show ring" 120 by 240 feet. This will cost $75,000 or $100,000. A manufacturers' building was recommended by a delegation from the Northwestern association.

The structure will measure 180 by 240 feet and will cost $50,000. Both these buildings must be erected with funds that the legislature will be asked to appropriate. With its own funds the agricultural society has already begun work upon a building for swine. The society's funds will also provide for the new $10,000 farm machinery building which was authorized yesterday. Stone Sidewalk Ordered.

The executive committee was instructed to lay two miles of stone sidewalk at, the fair grounds, and an expenditure of 000 for -evening entertainments during the fair was decided upon. Arrangements were ratified with the Hereford and the Shorthorn Breeders' associations for national cattle exhibitions and sales. The managers voted to accept the offer of the National Shorthorn Breeders' association, which will give $250 in prizes for Minnesota-bred shorthorns. The Agricultural society will add $250, making special prizes of $500 for Minnesota-bred When this matter was proposed H. F.

Brown of Minneapolis and N. P. Clarke of St. Cloud agreed to refrain from entering tho competition with their large herds of short-horns, that the field might be left open to other Minnesota breeders. The board decided to close all entries for horses and cattle fifteen days before the opening of the fair, and to print complete catalogues of the animals to be exhibited.

The premium lists will be considered at the next meeting of the managers, Feb.ll. Mr. Randall Re-elected. Secretary E. W.

Randall was re-elected for a tenth term. F. H. Wilcox, treasurer, was also re-elected. EFFECT OF GREATNESS Minneapolis So Nearly Whole Thing in Minnesota That She's Called the State's Capital.

Encyclopedias are question-settlers. When an encyclopedia says a thing is so, bets on that thing are usually decided a cordingly. Consequently, accepting the dictum of a work wearing the high pounding title of American Encyclopedia of Information and Almanac or something equally imposing, Minneapolis is the capital of Minnesota. The work is that of William R. Hearst of Ne York Journal fame and is supposed to be a complete and accurate argument destroyer.

Heated debates cannot exist in its presence. It contains mays of the various states and countries and of course there is a may of Minnesota. Near this map there is reading matter full of wisdom and truth, describing the resources of the state and the greatness of its people. I one corner of the page containing this reading matter is, in a frame, this: Whether Mr. Hearst's editors discovered some secret legislation or election which a transfer of the capital was made, or whether Minneapolis' greatness has come to overahadow that of St.

Paul so completely the eyes of the eastern world that St. Paul was altogether forgotten and it was supposed as a matter of course that Minneapolis was the capital of the north sitar state, cannot be learned. The fact remains that Mr. Hearst's newest and greatest argument-ender says Minneapolis is the capital of Minnesota. Northwestern Patrons May Talk to Twin City Users and Vice Versa.

The rival telephone companies of Minneapolis become co-operative public service corporations oftener than is dreamed of by the officials of either concern. A bright young man discovered some time ago that a patron of one company could talk to a man on the other line by ing a third party in some other office provided with both systems, prefcs the mouthpieces of the two partable receivers together. Most offices which are served with both lines have the receivers side by side for convenience's sake, so that it is no trouble at all to turn the trick, provided some one is willing to keep the mouthpieces in Close touch while the conversation is on. Both companies are said to object to this manner of bringing them together, but they are powerless to prevent it where any one wants to be obliging. MINNESOTA: Capital City, MINNEAPOLIS.

TO VOTE ON ASSESSMENT The Chamber of Commerce Needs More Money for Building. Every member of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce will be asked to put up $200 more to furnish the additional sum needed to finsh the new building, and provide funds to meet the first redemption payment on the bond issue. At the meeting of the directors yesterday afternoon it was decided to recommend this method of raising funds.

It will come before the general board for a vote at 10 o'clock on Jan. 28. The officers believe the plan will carry, although there may be some opposition to it. This was the object of the directors' meeting. The question of the bucket shops did not come up for discussion despite the statement in a morning paper.

It is proposed to distribute the payments on the assessment over a period of six months. The committee will need $112,000 within this period. The secretary of the chamber is preparing a statement showing the exact financial condition. A copy of this will be obtainable by any member later, so that all may vote on the assessment proposition.
