HAS RED WING A "CINCH?"
Fl, \\V IN TKAIMXIi SCHOOL, LAW
\i'W Act Didn't Repeal Former Meas
ure Designating; Red ing: as
the Location.
Red Wing is not disposed to buy the
new girls' training school, but has thought
of compelling the state to locate the in
stitution there.
Red Wing people have discovered a flaw
in the new law, which will probably result
in the attorney general being asked for an
opinion. The original act located the
training school for boys and girls not more
than four miles from the Goodhue county
courthouse.
The act appropriating money for the
girls' school, which was passed last
winter, required that it must be built at
least 2% miles from the boys' school. It
did not, however, contain any repealing
clause, and Red Wing people contend that
the old act is still in effect. This would j
confine the new institution to a radius of
four miles, and locate it on the other side
of Red Wing from the boys' school.
. Red.Wing,does not propose to buy
eighty acres of land to donate to the state,
says the Red Wing Argus, but will notify
the board of control of sites that are
available.
HAS TAKEN TO THE WOODS
Oleomargarine Spotted at Cuss Lake
and Handlers Fined.
There is still oleo in Minnesota. Two
convictions were yesterday reported to
the dairy and food department. Both were
at i'ass Lake. X. Marchand, keeper of a
hotel, was fined $50, and X. Bowker, a
merchant, paid a $20 fine. These are the
first cases of the year. '
Quantities of oleo are probably being
smuggled to the northern lumber camps
by way of West Superior. Wisconsin has
a strict law, but it is not as rigidly en
lorced as Minnesota's, and it is under
stood that quantities of the stuff have
been stored at West Superior, whence it
is an ea*y matter to ship direct to log
ging camps. Dairy Commissioner McDon
nell will ask the Wisconsin authorities to
co-operate with Minnesota in rounding
up oleomargarine stocks at the head of
the lakes.
All disorders caused by a bilious state

th« price is considered very satisfactory.

able firms. The committee decided yesterday
j to divide the contract, which calls for some
| 1.400 looms at about 10 cents net, the children
paying for the looms. One of the manufac
turers refused to accept the division and, as
the supply committee did not wish to give
the entire contract to one firm, they have left
the matter to the board for decision.

LOVEJOY COMPLIMENTED
For His Prompt Work In the Guyon
Case.
Postmaster Lovejoy has received a let
ter from W. M. Johnson, first aslstant
postmaster general, complimenting him
on the prompt and energetic measures
tiken in the Guyon matter to protect the
interests of the public service. He adds
that this evidently* led to the successful
termination of the case.
Guyon was the Leavenworth half-breed
arrested for raising money orders pur
chased in Minneapolis and Detroit, Minn.
Mr. Johnson says:
Instances are really rare in which orders
are snrvessfully raised, but within the past
two weeks three or four such cases have come
to light, and the wide publicity given thereto
through the press has led the public to infer
that these cases are numerous. The depart
ment, of course, is liable to suffer through
the use of acids in raising particulars origi
nally written in money orders, just as banks
are suffering from the same cause. It Is sug
gested that your paying clerks be directed to
exercise unusual care in issuance of orders to
strangers for amounts less than $10, and like
wise in the payment of orders for amounts in
excess of $40. those being the sums which are
most frequently used by the persons guilty of
this crime.

CAUGHT ON A BRIDGE
Harry A. Tuttle Has a Thrilling
Experience While Hunting.
LAY ON TIES WHILE CARS PASSED
He Baeaped Injury, hut Hia KefttlcsH
I>uim>> Lost I'tirt of au
Klir.
H. A. Tuttle, president of the North
American Telegraph company, had a nar
row estaDe from death Saturday after
noon. With a party of friends -\lr. Tut
tle had been out on a hunting trip in the
vicinity of Clearwater, a little town near
South Haven on the Soo road.
At that _>oint the Soo has a trestle, 600
feet in length and 75 feet high. Across
this trestle Mr. Tuttle started to walk
leading his dojj with him, as the animal
was scarcely more than a puppy and could
not be induced to cross on the ice below.
When iiart way over he heard a freight
train approaching behind him. He turned,
but thought he saw the brakeman signal
to slow down and so continued on his way.
A moment later, however, he heard the
freight strike the trestle.
Some distance ahead there was a pro
jection built out from the trestle to af
ford :ilace for a water barrel. This, how
ever, Mr. Tuttle could not reach in time,
and he was comi'eled to throw himself
upon the ties, just without the rails, and
take his chances of being injured.
He feared that the cylinder would catch
in his clothing and be knew if it did,
nothing could save him. However,
nothing more could be done, and he only
had time to throw the dos to one side
and hold him there before the train thun
dered over him.
Fastened to his back Mr. Tuttle had a
number of partridges which he had shot.
These were an additional source of dan
ger, protruding as they did; and that the
man escaped unhurt is truly remarkable.
The dos, however, was not so fortunate.
The forward wheel of the engine ran over
the tip of the animal's ear, splitting it
badly.
NOT BEFORE SPRING
High School Commercial Coarse May
Be Taken Up Then.
Hugh Marchbank, clerk of the school
board said this morning that nothing
would be done with the idea of a business
course in the high schools until spring at
least. By that time, If financial condi
tions were favorable, some action would
be taken in the matter.
Conflicting ideas are held as to the ex
pediency of instituting the course. The
people at present feel that more atten
tion is paid to the high schools than to
the grades, considering their relative im
portance. Less than one-tenth of the pu
pils reaching the eighth grade enter the
high schools. At .the some time the com
mercial tendency of the age is making
seme demand upon educational directors.
In the high schools of to-day the girls
outnumber the boys two to one. The
reason given by Mr. Marchbank for this
is that when young men get along to the
age of sixteen or seventeen the majority
of them are called upon to aid in the sup
port of the family. Especially is this
true among the mass of the people and as
the high and graded schools are supported
by all in common, those unable td take
advantage of the more advanced institu
tion feel that it is of greater necessity
to increase the efficiency of the schools
attended by the majority.
CONCERT BY MISS DURNO
One of the Attractions of the Y. M.
C. A. Course.
The piano and song recital to be given
in the Y. Ml C. A. popular entertainment
course at Association hall Friday night
I promises to be an occasion of great inter
i est to all musicians, amateur and profes
sional, and all lovers of music. Miss Je
anette Durno, who is to give the recital,
is a young woman of great musical talent
who has enjoyed the best training at home
and abroad. Shes pent three years in Vi
enna, where her fine soprano voice was
cultivated by Marianna Brandt. Miss
Durno's education on the piano proceeded
under Leschitzky. Since returning from
Europe Miss Durno has made a splendid
reputation for herself through her
numerous successful concerts in the
United States and Canada. It is doubtful
■whether there is any woman in America
to-day that can give the double program of
piano numbers and songs which she gives
her auditors. Seats may be obtained at
the Metropolitan music store.
THE HOSPITAL TAX
One of John Sibley's Loggers Will
Fight It.
The right of lumbermen to deduct any
sum from the wages of their employes
for the purpose of maintaining hospitals
•will be tested in a suit against Alderman
John Sibley to be tried this week at Walk
er. It is the rule in his camps as well as
the general rule in the northern, woods
that 75 cents is deducted monthly from the
wages of the men for .the hospital fund.
Those who get iujured or become sick are
cared for without further expense to
themselves. One of the men in Sibley's
employ refused to permit the deduction
and has brought suit. Should he win he
will probably destroy the present hospital
system.
GEN. WADE_AT CEBU
He Will Command tbe New Depart
ment After Nov. 30.
General James H. Wade, formerly in
command of the department of the Da
kotas, will be transferred Nov. 30 from
Manila, where lie is now stationed, to
Cebu, where he will assume command of
the newly created department of the South
Philippines, Maj. Gen. Lloyd Wheaton will
command the northern division. The
Island of Sumar, where the insurgents are
most active just at present, will be with
in General Wade's jurisdiction.
TO CONSOLE CONVICTS
The State Buys Plug Tobacco by the
Ton.
Two tons of plug and half a ton of
smoking tobacco have been bought by the
state board of control for the next quar
ter's supply of the state's wards. It goes
to inmates of the penitentiary, the insane
hospitals and asylums, and the school for
the feeble-minded. None is given out at
the reformatory, or at the state training
school for boys.
SHE MUST RETURN
The Governor So Decides in Cora
Cora Oman must go back to Fargo and
stand trial for violating the prohibitory
law of North Dakota. Governor Van Sant
yesterday granted the requisition of
Governor White of North Dakota, the pa
pers being found in correct form. A stay
of forty-eight hours was granted, which
may be used by counsel in another habeas
corpus proceeding at Moorhead.
Looking for the Guaranty Fund.
In the hearing before Judge Simpson, yes
terday, to ascertain what had* become of the
$100,000 guaranty fund of the Minneapolis
Fire and Marine Mutual Insurance company,
the officers stated that the fund . had been
divided last September and "that the notes
and other collateral had been returned to the
individuals who had advanced them. The
receivers think that the creditors have the
first claim on th» guaranty fund, and will
prosecute the matter very vigorously. , :,

AFRO-AMERICAN COUNCIL
MEETS IN ST. PALL. MEXT AUGUST
Committee of Fifty MeetM to For
■niiliiii- rittiiN—sl,ooo 1m
Needed.
St. Paul Is to be the meeting place of
the Afro-American Council for a week
next August. The honors and labors of
entertaining this important convention
will be divided between the Afro-Amer
ican citizens of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
A committee of fifty which had been se
lected by various organizations of the
twin fities held its first meeting last
night in St. Paul to organize in prepara
tion for the convention. The officers
chosen, were: President, Frederick L.
McG-hee, St. Paul; first vice president,
Mrs. George Barnett, Minneapolis; Bec
vice president, J. Wright, Minneapolis;
secretary, J. Q. Adams; treasurer, George
Day, Minneapolis; chairman of the finance
committee, Rev. Mr. Butler. The finance
committee is a large one, as its duties
are most important, in providing the
means for the other committees to work
with. At least $1,000 will be needed to
entertain the convention properly. There
will be over 100 delegates and probably
at least as many more visitors.
The last convention of the council was
In Philadelphia. An important part of
Its work is to protect Afro-Americans in
their rights. It is already prosecuting a
test case involving Louisiana election
laws before the United States supree
court and the council proposes to sub
mit all of the laws discriminating against
colored voters to the same test. The
program of the convention, however, will
include a great variety of topics affecting
the welfare and development of the race.
The council is made up of representatives
of a variety of local colored organizations
and is in fact a federation. While Booker
T. Washington is not active in this or
ganization he is in sympathy and touch
with it and will be in attendance at its
sessions.
CHURCH BUYS LOTS
.Notre Dame Dcs I.ourtles Purchases
Three Adjoining Lots.
The Church of Notre Dame Dcs Lourdes
has purchased for $3,000 from Frederick
B. Chute, three lots adjoining the church.
The lots are 21'xTit Teet and are described
as 8, 9 and 12, block 7 of subdivision of
grounds between Pine, Bay, Main and Sec
ond streets. Lot 12 affords the church
more room, on the Exposition building
side. It is likely that on the other two
lots, to the north of the church, a pastor's
residence will be erected next year.
A real estate deal which has been on the
tapis since last spring was closed yester
day, transferring the front 30 feet of lot
3, block 1, Hoag's addition, from John B.
Gilflllan to he Gluek Brewing company for
$12,000. The lot has 66 feet front, imme
diately in the rear of the Masonic Temple.
The company has no plans for improving
its property at present.

HOW DO WE TREAT FOREIGNERS?
Remarkable Document Penned by the Nordemans Before
They Took Poison Makes the Question Timely.
The remarkable document penned by
Knut Birger Nordeman and his mother,
Mrs. Sara Xordeman, before they took
poison with suicidal intent Friday at 256
Thirteenth avenue S, may well interest
the sociologist, the psychologist or the
student of racial prejudices.
As the last despairing cry of two unfor
tunates who found themselves, either
through distorted imaginations or their
actual environment, hopelessly at odds
with the world in the struggle for exis
tence, It almost suggests an opening for
novelists of the realistic school who are
searching for material in the present so
cial conditions. With the mother it was
a voice from the grave, for with her the
attempt at self-destruction was success
ful. The son, who is at the city hospital,
still has a fighting chance for that life
which he apparently despised so much.
Six Reasons for Suicide.
In the letter "to whom it may concern,"
explaining their reasons for committing
suicide, six reasons were given for self
destruction.
"We take this measure," the letter reed,
"because we see no hope to live a life in
which we have no interests, and for which,
from the unfortunate concurrence of cir
cumstances, the mastery of which is be
yond our power, we are not equipped.
Having neither the spirit nor capacities
which are required by every individual
who is born in this 'barbarous, materialis
tic and inhuman world, of which America
is the leader and representative, we here
by, on mature thought and deliberation,
have resolved to close our existence."
The six reasons appended as sufficient
justification for taking their lives, are:
First—We cannot live in this world, because
we are foreigners; strangers among the men
of the present generation, having not their
business spirit, their business capacities or
their business interests.
Second—We cannot live in this world, be
cause we belong to a society which, during
the past century, ceased to exist, and, there
fore, comp.els us to die also.
Third—We cannot live in tni3 world, be
cause we are met by a heart leseness from
all our fellow-beings which tells us that our
existence is at an end.
Fourth—We canot live in this world, be
cause we cannot get any foothold on the
earth, there being no one who wants our.
services.
Fifth—We cannot live In this world, be
cause we, due to our late of the present
slavery system, by no means are willing to
fiupport life on those conditions which are
the only possible, namely, those conditions

She Couldn't Cash the Stamps
"Do you sell cough drops?" said a lit
tle waif of a newsboy to one of the tall,
fair-haired clerks at a department store
drug counter the other day.
"Yes, sir," said she, "5 cents a box."
"Will you take stamps?" inquired the
prospective customer.
SEASON ABOUT OVER
Pumping Station Will Soou Be Ready
to Withstand Winter.
With two or three weeks more of fair
weather, operations at the new northeast
pumping station will have reached the
stage where the work can be conveniently
dropped for the winter. There are now
about 100 men employed there and the
task of completing the outside walls of the
water basins is being rushed with all pos
sible speed. Three of the outer sides are
now more than half completed and the
task of driving piles for the river wall of
the basin will be begun to-morrow. The
bottom of this is many feet below .the
level of the river and the protecting coffer
dam is apparently none too strong. It Is
quite necessary therefore that the wall
be finished before the spring break up with
Its accompanying high water.
The basin walls are 12 feet thick at the
bottom, and constructed of enormous
sandstone blocks weighing in some cases
as high as eight tons. City Engineer
Sublette hopes to finish the walls before
extreme weather sets in, and should it be
an open winter he will continue work all
winter on the plant.

sides, and are finally convinced of our su
perfluous existence.
Were the Reasons Valid f
One of the reasons given in the forego
ing is that the Nordemans were struggling
under an "anti-foreign" handicap, the in
ference being that they were discrimi
nated against because of their nationality.
Professor J. S. Carlson of the University
of Minnesota, a student of sociology, and
himself of foreign extraction, made some
rather interesting deductions from the
case this afternoon. Said Professor Carl
son:
It would be necessary for the student who
sought to explain the contents of thte strange
letter to familiarize himself with the exact
conditions under which these people had their
being. While it is altogether probable that
they were not just right mentally, they were
evidently of far more than ordinary intelli
gence. The language, the connected vein of
thought running through the letter and the
careful, methodical, business-like summing
up of the facts as they appealed to them,
almost forces home on one the conviction
that they were rational beings, who had
calmly decided to give up an unequal strug
gle agains awful odds.
I have no doubt but that their protest
against our present social conditions reflects,
to a far greater extent than we imagine, the
feeling of discontent which pervades the
masses to-day. To be sure, this is a country
where all men are supposed to be equal be
fore the law, and where every man is sup
posed to have a chance to lift himself from
poverty to independence or affluence. True;
but suppose, in this materialistic, commer
cial age, that a man is born, as the letter
has it, without the money-getting ability.
Suppose, also, that where there are doubtless
helping hands looking for opportunity to
assist unfortunates on all sides, an individ
ual or individuals are too sensitive to become
objects of charity. That was probably tha
case with the Nordemans.
It should be remembered that they are of
a nationality noted for its sensitiveness. At
the same time that they are, next to the
French, the most polite people of Europe,
the Swedes are the most easily offended. It
is an easy matter to •hurt their pride.
When the Nordemans spoke of an anti
foreign eentiment as one of the obstacles
against which they were unable to contend
in this country, I think they were giving
their imagination too free rein. I know there
is a general feeling among the Swedes of
this city that, politically, they are the vic
tims of discrimination. I rather think that
such a discrimination does exist. I don't
think it goes any farther. But I do believe
that this impression has led to a widespread
feeling of distrust among the Swedes, many
of whom believe they are the victims of an
anti-foreign prejudice.
The clerk pittied the evident need and
the apparent short purse of the little fel
low and replied, "Yes." The boy stamped
rapidly on the floor and then grabbing a
box of the coveted cough drops he dis
appeared like lightning in the crowd,
reaching "Washington avenue before the
astonished young woman "came to."
THE OLD CAPITOL SITE
Bazille Heirs Will Claim It When It
Is Vacated.
The heirs of Charles Bazille. a pioneer
resident of St. Paul, are preparing to pre
sc- to the state a claim which involves
the ownership of the block on which the
present capitol stands. This land was
originally deeded to the state by Charles
Bazille, whose heirs claim that a proviso
was agreed to whereby the property was
to revert to them if it should ever be
abandoned as a capitol site. As such
abandonment will occur shortly they .think
they can prove title to the land.
A few years ago, after the new capitol
had been decided upon, the heirs, it is
said, refused an offer of $10,000 for their
claim. The property consists of an en
tire block in the center of St. Paul and is,
of course, worth much more than the
amount offered.
A Good Health School.
Dr. Cooke's Institute of Physical Cul
ture, which was opened some time ago in
the Kasota Building, is receiving a well
deserved patronage toy many prominent
men of the city. It simply shows that a
first-class Gymnastic Institute under com
petent direction will be supported by
