CALLED TO SWITZERLAND
Rev. Nicholas Bolt, Well Known to
Twin City Presbyterian*.
Rev. Nicholas Bolt, formerly of Bethle
hem Presbyterian church at St. Paul, and
later of St. James Evangelical church in
Chicago, is in St. Paul ori his way to
Lugano in Switzerland. He has received
a call to the church there. Lugano is one
of the famous lake resorta of southern
Switzerland and the church is one of the
influential ones in that part of the coun
try. Mr. Bolt has been traveling in south
ern Europe on account of a serious throat

TOWASHTHEWATER
An Easy Way to Purify It Without
Boiling.
A TIMELY BIT OF INFORMATION
It May Be of Vme in Caie Went Side
Pump* Are lined
Ana in.
The rains of the past month have been
distinctly favorable to a moderate con
sumption of water in Minneapolis, and the
result has been that the north side pumps
have been able to supply the demand.
With the advent of dry weather, however,
with the accompanying large increase in
the street and lawn sprinkling consump
tion, it is inevitable that the west side
station pumps will have to be put in
service again and then prudent people
will do well to boil their drinking water.
But a good many people have a decided
dislike for boiled water. For such, a
noted New York medical man recom
mends a simple process of filtration that
can easily be made applicable to any
condition, and exhaustive experiments, it
is asserted, have shown that the number
of bacteria in the water can thereby be
reduced very materially. Here is the pro
cess recommended:
: • •
: I—Add1 —Add one-half an ounce of :
: alum to a quart of water and :
: bottle the solution. :
: 2—Make a plug of absorbent :
: cotton about an inch in length : :
: and fit it into the neck of an or- :
: dinary kitchen funnel. :
: 3 —Add two teaspoonfuls of the :
: alum solution to a gallon of :
: water and strain through the :
: funnel into another bottle or jar :
: and you will have water about :
: as near chemically pure as any : ,
: ordinary nitration process will :
: make it. :
The water will come through perfectly
clear and will not contain any alum in
solution. The explanation of this inter
esting fact is that the alum combines with
the lime in the solution in the water to
form a gelatinous precipitate which en
tangles any particles of mud and bacteria
that may be in the water, just as egg
albumen unites the fine particles of coffee
and "clears" it.
When a gallon or two of water have
been filtered by the above process a new
cotton plug should be substituted.
IN HONOR OF VERDI
To-niKht'a Harriet Program- Schu
bert Club To-morrow Afternoon. m
To-night at Lake Harriet will be given
the second of the special concerts and
judging by the crowd that was present at
the Wagner concerts Tuesday evening
and by the demand for tickets already
noted for to-night, the largest crowd of
the season will be present. If Signor Sor
rentino is partial to the music of any com
poser, it is to that of Verdi and in the
interpretation of the selections of this
famous composer, the Red Band of Italy
is heard at its best.
In commemoration of the death of Verdi,
the program will be opened with a funeral
march and as Verdi never wrote a
funeral march, Chopin's famous composi
tion will be made the opening number, to
be followed by a program embracing some
of the most famous of the Verdi selections.
The list is as follows:
THURSDAY EVENING.
Funeral March Chopin
Grand Selection from "Rigoletto" Verdi
Solo Clarinet, "Ballo in Maschera" Verdi
Signor Tedeschi.
Grand Duetto from "II Trovatore" Verdi
Solos by Signori Bottega and Febbo.

Solo Trumpet, Signor Bottega.
Celebrita Polka Strausa
Largo Handel
March, "Funiculi Funicuia,"
Arranged by Sorrentino
The Schubert club program for to-mor
row afternoon has been settled upon and
will be found to comprise some of the best
things in Signor Sorrentino's repertory.
It had been the plan to give the compli
mentary concert to-morrow in honor of
both the Schubert club of St. Paul and
the Ladies' Thursday Musicale of Minne
apolis. It has since been decided to sep
arate these events and another program
specially arranged by the Musicale will
be given next week. The program to
morrow afternoon is as follows:
FRIDAY AFTERNOON—SCHUBERT CLUB
PROGRAM.
March, "Nibelungen" Wagner
Grand Selection from "La Tosca" Puccini

TIEE "TONS OF PEANUTS
The Increase in the Monthly Consumption Due
to the Penny-in-the-Slot Machines.
Three tons of peanuts, shelled and
salted, is the increase in th 9 monthly
peanut consumption in Minneapolis due
to the advent of the penny-in-the-slot
machine. There are 200 of these machines
in operation in the city and they average
a little better than a pound a day. In ad
dition to this little boom in the peanut
trade, dealers notice an improvement in
the sale of other kinds of nuts. They give
the machines credit for boosting the traffic
in general.
The man who sweeps out the hotel
lobby, tlie depot waiting-room, or any
other place where it is thte habit of two
or more to gather for consultation, is the
one who appreciates most the coming of
the peanut machine. He has not the same
quantity of shells to contend with. The
arrival trom the country who likes pea
nuts and the city man who takes them as
a cheap lunch, are buying the shelled and
salted stock from the machines. But there
still remain many who like to buy the
big tumbler full of long, double-jointed
fellows for a nickel.
Peanut candy has lagged since the pea
nut machine arrived. Local owners of the
machines believe the coming of the har-

NO "BUMPER" CROP
That Seems to Be the Sentiment
Among' Grain Men Now.
INDICATIONS BY LATE REPORTS
Flax Below the Average—The Dan
ger to Wheat-Some Bad
Spots Show.
"Bumper crop" talk is about done. This
is not only true with local grain men but
with those stationed at the various grain
buying points in northern Minnesota and
the two Dakctas. Flax is reported as be
low the average from nearly every section
of the northwest.
Walter Thexton, in charge of the Min
neapolis office of the John Miller Grain
company, has been making a careful esti
mate of tne conditions during the past
three days. He has received reports from
200 grain men ecattered all over the three
states. To these reports are added those
of traveling grain men who have given
much time to personal inspections of the
crop.
No damage from rust is reported to
date. In every sectipn of the northwest
the wheat fields show a rank growth of
straw. Weather conditions gen
erally, have been favorable, but
there is danger from rust,
also from lodging unless the weather is
decidedly favorable from now on.
Southern Minnesota reports wheat pros
pects not above the average. The same
applies to coarse grains. This section also
complains of weeds and chinch bugs in the
flax crop, which is below the average.
The worst spot in the wheat fields of
northern Minnesota is in the Red River
valley counties, where surface water on
the lowlands has caused damage. The
crop there is so seriously injured that re
ports indicate less than half of the average
yield.
On the North Dakota side of the Red
River valley the conditions are not so
serious. Wheat and coarse grains prom
ise better than an average crop for the
entire state. Reports on flax are very
discouraging. Many fields are being plowed
down. Flax there will yield lees than half
an average crop.
Harvest will begin in South Dakota
soon. Reports from that state are gener
ally favorable. Conditions average better
in South Dakota than in the other two
states.
Queer Fads in Food.
Almost ©very day some new fad in food
comes to light. We read of classes who
live on meat alone, others that eat only |
j vegetables or fish and each class believes i
i that it. has the only key to perfect health, j
I The latest fad is that human life can be |
j best maintained by food that itself is J
living. Sensible people are inclined to
eat what they know to be scientifically
pure and healthful, regardless of whether
it is new or old, fashionable or unfashion
able. "Golden Grain Belt" beer is such a
liquid food; pure, because it is brewed
! from purest 'barley malt and hops, and
j healthful because it contains the strength
of bread and meat. Besides it is a deli
cious drink for the table. Telephone 486

There are many forms of nervous de

Slot Machine Investments.
Investments in slot machines through
the northwest represent several hundred
thousand dollars. This includes only those
machines which give the man who puts
his coin in the slot something for his
money. He is given anything from a bit
of classical music to a touch of electricity.
The musid boxes proved the best money
makers and are still among the leaders.
The ■weighing machine has done well in
many towns. The sale of gum by the slot
contrivance has teen greatly increased,
but no machine has yet been invented that
will work satisfactorily as a cigar sales
man.
Music Box Kariiiiis*.
The slot machine is a forcible lesson of
what saving the nickels will do. The re
ceipts from the music boxes in many
places have been wonderful. A traveling
man who does the northwest Invested
$2,000 in music boxes two years ago. The
receipts paid for the boxes the first year.
The west throws its nickels recklessly.
The ever-convenient slot is reaping the
harvest.
SOUTH DAKOTA'S NEW SENATOR
Preparations Are Rapidly \>aring
Completion—Program in Part.
The Vernamo fair which opens at the
Minnehaha driving park next Sunday
afternoon gives every promise of being a
great success. Under the direction of
Professor Julius Hanson, one hundred
workmen have been engaged on the
grounds all week putting up buildings,
theaters, restaurants, dancing platforms,
monumental entrance gates and by Sat
urday night the track will be transformed
into a pleasure ground of the most
original kind.
The park will be thrown open to the
public at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon; for
two hours the visitors will be entertained
by concerts by bands and orchestras and
about 4 o'clock the official opening cere
mony will take place. At night the
grounds and buildings will be brilliantly
illuminated by hundreds of colored in
candescent and arc lights.
A beautiful souvenir program has been
prepared by the management, and will be
distributed on the grounds. This will give
the details of the different performances
all through the week. Tuesday will be
Danish day, when Elith Reymert, the
actor from the Royal Theater, Copenha
gen, will make his appearance. Wednes
day and Thursday the field sports will
take place, and Friday will be Norwegian
day, when the Norwegian Turners' society,
the Norwegian singing societies of the
twin cities, Normanna band, and other
Norwegian organizations will be in evi
dence.
Preparations have been made by the
management to check bicycles, packages
and clothing, and a nursery in which com
petent nurses will be in attendance is at
the service of mothers bringing small
children.
PROMISING LIFE ENDS
Meningitis Cannes the Death of
Freeman D. Somerby, younger brother
of C. W. Somerby, assistant attorney
general, died last night at the home of his
mother, Mrs. F. D. Somerby, 1714 Ninth
avenue S. The cause of death was men
ingitis which had undoubtedly affected his
health for some time but which did not
assume a definite and severe form till
about thr«t weeks ago upon his return
from New Mexico.
Freeman Somerby was 25 years of age
and a young man of much promise. His
manly qualities were a prominent charac
teristic and he also possessed to a rare
degree the faculty of making sincere
friends in all classes with which he came
in contact. Among eastern yachtsmen in
the New York clubs he was esteemed as a
pleasant companion and a good sailor,
while he found as many and as warm
friends among the ranchmen of Montana.
As a student in Burt Harwood's ■ art
classes in Minneapolis, he had gone far
enough to display genuine talent, and
though he never devoted himself serious
ly to art as a profession, he had executed
many very pleasant sketches. Last win
ter he was connected with the Minneapolis
General Electric company, until attacked
by the grip from whose effects he sought
relief in New Mexico.
The funeral will be held at 3 p. m.
Saturday from Westminster church, the
interment being at Lakewood.

AN ODD ACCIDENT ON THE FOURTH
Stray Bullet Strikes a. Ring, Knack-
ins the Setting 100 Feet In
.•' , theDuik.. '•* ':{\ ■
The Fourth of July saw no more pecu
liar accident than that which befel Mrs.
C. A. Chambers, 1820 Portland avenue, in
Lioring park on the evening of Indepen
dence Day. Mrs. Chambers had the un
usual misfortune of having a most beau
tiful solitaire, worth several hundred dol
lars, blown from its setting by a stray
bullet of 22 caliber, and hurled more than
a hundred feet from where she stood,
and the unusual good fortune of finding
the gem on the next day perfectly intact.
The bullet pierced Mrs. Chamber's hand
and left a painful wound, but it is heal
ing nicely.
Mr. and Mrs. Chambers had gone out for
a stroll in the evening, just before dusk,
and had wandered over to the park. They
were standing by the lake watching the
swans, when Mrs. Chambers felt a sharp
sting on her left hand. At first she
thought it the bite of some insect, but
she soon felt the blood trickling from
the wound, and realized that she had been
struck by a bullet. The lead had entered
the back of the hand near the knuckle of
the middle finger and had made its exit
near the base of the thumb.
On the middle finger Mrs. Chambers
wore several rings, one of which was a
handsome solitaire diamond, worth be
tween $300 and $400, a present from her
husband. It was some time before she
noticed that the stone was missing. The
wound was giving but little pain, and
they stopped to search for the diamond.
As it grew darker they gave up the search
and repaired to a neighboring drug store
where the wound was washed and dressed.
In the morning she called on Dr. T. J
Gray, who is caring for the wound.
The bullet seems to have been fired
from a point a little to the left and to
the rear of Mrs. Chambers, and at no
great distance, although neither Mr. nor
Mrs. Chambers heard the discharge of the
gun. It appears that the bullet had struck
something before it pierced Mrs. Cham
ber's hand, for there was a foreign sub
stance cf some kind on it which slightly
poisoned the wound.
After the wound was dressed by the
doctor the next morning, Mrs. Chambers
went back to the park and spent several
hours with a park policeman and several
small boys searching for the diamond.
They gave up the search, and Mrs. Cham
bers started homeward. She had gone
about a hundred feet from where she had
been standing, when she saw the gem
glistening in the grass Borne distance in
front of her. She hastened to it and picked
it up, expecting to find it shattered. To
her surprise and delight, she found that
it was not even chipped. Jt lay 100 feet
or more from the place where the bullet
had struck its owner.

ORE RATE CASES GO OVER
Commission to Paw Upon the Legal
Problems in Meantime.
The state railway and warehouse com
mission has postponed further hearing up
on rate reductions on the ore lines until
Sept. 10, promising, in the meantime, to
reach a decision upon the meat of the
question, as presented by the attorneys of
the railways, viz.: Is the shipment of
iron ore interstate business or not?
At yesterday's bearing the state at*
tempted to show that at least the docks
were in the state of Minnesota, but failed
to do so. (Bach witness testified that they
were not, though within the riparian.
boundary line.
If the commission decides that the con*
tention of the railways is correct the at
tempt to interfere with the tariffs in force
on the range roads will doubtless bo
dropped entirely, inasmuch as the ore
business comprises practically all of their
traffic. It is thought, however, that the
commission will rule against the roads
and thus shift the question to the supreme
court, where an authoratative decision can
be obtained.
General Counsel Bunn, of the Northern Pa
cific, returned yesterday from a four weeks"
fishing trip as the guest of President James
J. Hill, of the Great Northern. The party
went by rail to Quebec, Que., where they took
Mr. Hill's private yacht to the latter's fish
ing lodge on the Labrador coast, and from
Labrador to New York on the yacht.
