ROPE FOR ITS RETURN BELIEVED THIRTEENTH Will, START HOMEWARD OX AR RIVAL. OF THE THIRD GEN. REEVE IS NEARLY DUE Sudden Return of the Thirteenth* Old Ooinmnnder Unexpected and Unexplained Did Not Go («> Eu rope, but Visited Japan, and Is Now Coining Across the Pacific 1.1n.l Wants RcKlinent Returned. Private advices received from Manila by Gov. Lind have caused tha governor to take up the matter of the Thirteenth regiment's return from Manila with the war department. The nature of the in formation contained in letters and ca blegrams which have been directed to him of late by the officers of the regi ment is such that the governor had al most made up his mind to go to Wash ington and personally use his influence with President McKinley. Through correspondence he has secured the at tention of the powers that be at the nation's capital, and it is certain that the regiment will be ordered home to be mustered out just as soon as the Third United States Infantry reaches its destination. Col. Ames has written the governor several times and the governor has been besieged -by the friends of the boys in the Thirteenth to use his in fluence to have the command ordered home before the rainy season sets in. Gen. C. McC. Reeve is on the Pacific, homeward bound. He did not go to Europe from Japan, as he at first cx i pected to, out of which expectation ! arose the report that he was traveling jin Europe. Instead, he took steamer j from Yokahama for the United States. He is due on the Pacific coast -now. A j friend, who has been in communication with him, says he was expected to ar rive before tomorrow. He is probably coming by the Canadian Pacific line to Vancouver. There is much speculation as to why the general left Manila so unexpected ly. Intimate friends in Minneapolis, persons who have been in communica tion with him throughout his stay at j Manila, have received no word from him by cable concerning his departure from Manila, and there has scarcely been time for letters to come. But at least one person in Minneapolis has been informed of the general's move ments. The last letters received from the general by his usual correspondents gave no hint of the action he has taken. They show that the general was not in love with the Philippines and was anx ious to get away, but they said noth ing about leaving the army except as to a desire to be mustered out with the Thirteenth 'Minnesota, the general's original regiment. The general is home ward bound on a furlough which ex pires in May, simultaneously with his discharge from the army— so it is said. In circles where the general's home coming is discussed— and those circles include both friends and others — it is freely admitted that there is some mys tery about the matter. It is felt that something must have happened con cerning which Minnesota people are ig norant, that resulted in Gen. Reeve's taking a discharge at a very critical time— when Manila was threatened by Aguinaldo's forces. RETURN OFJFIFTEENTH. Gov. I,lml Informed That the Men Will Be Home Shortly. Gov. Lind received a letter yesterday from H. C. Copbin, adjutant general, saying that the Fifteenth regiment would be returned home and mustered out within a short time. The communication stated that muster rolls were being prepared and the men would be given their discharges just as soon as the work could be completed. Gone After Contract)*. M. Quigley, the local railroad eon-tractor, left last night for Milwaukee and Chicago, where he expects in the nex.t few days to close up some contracts for spring and sum mer work. Mr. Quigley will return here Sun-day or Monday and will b* quartered at the Northern hotel, where he will make his headquar ters before going out on the road. STOP THEM. Tbe Way to Kill the Microscopic Pent* That Make Fever. Unlike some communicable diseases, typhoid fever 1b not "in the air." You do not take the germs Into your lungs. You take them into your stomach when you drink tainted milk of water. Where drainage ts insufficient and where the water sujjpiy is contaminat ed, typhoid fever breaks out. Treatment consists in killing the eerms, so that they cannot multiply in the system. A sound stimulant stops the spread of the microbes. Of course, it must itself be free from impurity. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey meets all the requirements of the case, and is therefore prescribed to patients who have been exposed to typhoid fever. A tablospoonful in a glass of water be fore each meal will be beneficial in more ways than one. It will tone the system and the glands in the stomach so that the gastric juices will flow freely upon the food, thus making di gestion complete and prompt. Many substitutes for Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey are offered. Don't be coaxed Into buying one. Insist on the genuine Duffy's and remember that all alert druggists and grocers keep it. The government says that this is the only medicinal whiskey j n the country. Hence, it bears the proprietary revenue stamp. What Society Is Doing. Mrs. R. M.

Mrs. Fernstrom gave a fine interpretation of three of Chopin"s compositions, etude, op. 25, waltz, op 64, and "Fantaisie Impromptu." The waltz was particularly well rendered. Mrs. William Canby and Miss Morton played a du<?t, rondo brilli-ante, by Weber, and Mrs. M.O. Graves sang an air from Tann haustr.

Anderson, a young violinist of considerable talent, gave two numbers, "Gigne," by Wieniawski, and one of Bach's arrangements. He was forced to respond to an encore. Two other assisting visitors were Mr. Dudley W. Pike and Mrs. W. N. Porteus, of Minneapolis. Both are accomplished vocal ists and their numbers were a decided treat to the large audience present. Perhaps one of the finest numbers on the programme was an eight-handed piece, "Entrance of the Goda Into WaJhalla," from Wagner's "Rheingold," played by Mts. T. L. Schurmeier, Mrs. Cla-ke, Mrs. Cass Giibert and Mrs. C. A. Clark. It was played with the promptness and precision of a solo number, and the dramatic pomp of the selection was well ex pressed.

Ij. May Explains Why the Propo sition Will Injure Mluui'siHii ScrilNint-ii and Furmeri If I.mule d Into Law He Snys the BUI Im Dlreetly In the Interest of For eign O'oillllllNHMlun lloiikok. According? to L. L. May. of L. L. May & Co., the bill before the house pro viding that Bted sold in Minnesota be in sacks plainly stamped with th« year in which the seed grew, is in the interest ot . the great outside seed houses, and intend to hamper the seed growing industry in Minnesota. In an interview yesterday Mr. May said: "Minnesota, I am pleased to state, is coming forward as a great 866* producing section. This is mainly due to tffe enterprising seeds men within her borders, and I feel I voice the sentiment of our state when I say such en terprise should be encouraged rather than harassed. The whole purpose of the bill seems to be directed to the fact that in order for good seeds to be sold within the borders of our state, every bag, box, packet and re ceptacle shall be stamped, printed or labeled the year such seed was grown. This very clause is enough to stamp such a bill us ridiculous In the eyes of those who are fa miliar with the Qualifications of good seed. How often Is it the case the farmers do not plant seed grain, for instance, of the first season's growth on nccount of the poor germi nating quality caused by an unfavorable har vest. This Is not only true of wheat, oats, corn, clover, etc., but of all varieties of seeds. Then again, how many are aware of the fact that some varieties of seeds are better the third and fourth year than they are the first? "Let seedsmen stamp their bags, 'This seed was grown four years ago,' and 90 per cent of the planters or purchasers would pass tt by, believing it was not such as they should have, when In reality it wrs the best. This is not alone where the hardship comes. In case a seedsman sells a bill of goods to a merchant or consumer, if by chance the label should become detached through any cause whatever (in transportation, for instance), or I that it may be wilfully torn off, the party so receiving the goods under the ruling of the bill can refuse payment and the seed mer chant also be subject to a heavy fine. "It works a great hardship on our farmers. Suppose they neglect through ignorance or any other cause to attach the label on their clover, timothy, etc., which they sell, they are, liable to the same risk in not re ceiving their pay and are subject to the fine. 'Such a bill would undoubtedly benefit the co-called commission seed firms who exist in the East. They send their goods on consign ment, and what Is not. sold they take back. These seeds can be used again another year in new packets, and the seedsmen can, if they co choose, stamp what year they desire on their packet and no oia« can dispute. We have several prominent seed houses in our state who have by hard, work and energy gained a national reputation, and today the product of these concerns are sent from one end of our land to the other. No business of iate years has had such a tendency to advertise Minnesota and bring it before the people as the coming seed-producing section of Ameri ca, and I claim it is not in the interests of the consumers, farmers, merchants, or :n fact, any of the people, that such legislation should be invoked, especially as it has the pronounced tendency to build up the same in dustries of other states to the detriment of our own. Fully 90 per cent of the seed busi ness done by some of the Minnesota seeds men is done outside of the state of Minne sota, and if cur home people are to be han dicapped in doing business In this state, through the ignorance of the consumers on account of their being in our midst and of our own raising, it is most discouraging and will certainly mark the downfall of an indus try which in every way is most essential to our own state. Our legislators cannot affect firms outside of her own borders. As many •eed firms doing business in Minnesota ex act cash in advance before the good's are shipped, it makes It impossible to have them do their business in our state under the same restriction, and hardships which attend our local seed industries are averted. "With the majority of commodities we can tell what the quality la at a glance, but the question of genuine seed does not exist in the year of Its growth, but in it* germinating quality and correctness of the type, and if the seedsman's aim was to deliver at all times seeds of a particular year's growth he would soon find it an impossibility to satisfy his customers. "Is this bill introduced to the Interests of those gigantic seed commission firms who have become wealthy by their mode of doing business, and who attempt by legislation to harass and eventually destroy the young and competitive Industries of this .state? "No one who Is familiar with the seed in dustry can place any other construction on such a bill. These firms send their goods to every merchant in our state (whether ordered or not), to be sold on commission. What are not sold are returned to the owner in the East, and can be put in new jackets, la beled for the coming year, and no expert is capable of telling their age.

H. W. Fagley, manager of the St. Paul department of the Browning, King & Co.circuit of cloihing and gents' furnishing houses, returned yesterday from a trip through the East. Mr. Fagley, while away, spent a couple of weeks at the New York factory of th 9 concern, which covers a square in New York city, and is recognized as the largest and one of the most representa tive clothing houses In the world. Mr. Fagley asserts that on every hand there were evidences of a great in crease in the volume of trade, not alone in the clothing business, but in all branches of industry in the East. The factory of Browning, King & Co. is in the throes of tne spring trade, he says, and already the manufactur ing department is selecting designs and patterns of the fall output. The plant supplies stock for fourteen large cloth ing stores scattered through the East and middle West, and the Twin City branches distribute a large amount of the stock through the Northwest, as the nearest houses are Chicago and Kansas City. "Money." said Mr. Fagley, "is a drug on the market in the East. Any quan tity can be had at 2*£ per cent, and at that the supply is much greater than the demand. Even right here in St. Paul a great deal of money is in the banks afnd vaults which is earning nothing, and it is very difficult to find good investment. However, this condi tion will. I think, not be bo noticeable after a few months as the people who own the money realize that the best investment is not in loaning It out at interest, but in diverting it into busi ness enterprise. "As a result new concerns are being started up and increased activity is very evident all over the country. We have passed the climax of the stress of the times, and it will be years before we can manufacture fast enough to supply the export demand for Ameri can factory goods. "In our own business right here in St. Paul, I can say that trade is better than it has been for years, and this IWSllk Headquarter* of the Norm wait. GUba— 3- 2-'9O. SIXTH AND ROBERT STREETS. ST.

Iteady made suits of a higher grade are more In demand than ever before. People are buying a bet ter class of goods now and more money is being spent, as a result of the gen erally increased prosperity of the peo ple, largely the wage earners. "Comparatively few people are out of work in the East, and labor Is far from being the cheapest thing on the market. "As to styles this year, I would say that but little change 1b evident in either clothing or gents' furnishings. There is, 'however, a leaning toward a neater class of goods." RABBITS~HAD RABBIES. Proof That the Dos That Bit Dr. Stone Was Mad. Dr. 'Miller, of tflie health department, who has had charge of the Investigations of the rabid dog which bit Dr. A. J. Stone a short time ago, yesterday stated that there Is now no doubt-but that the dog ha<J rabies. Thirteen days after Dr. Stone was bitten one of the rabbits lnnocutated showed sigDa of the disease and died 1m a short Urn© after. Dr. Miller said, that the antimal suffered from all the signs incident to rabid animals. Other rabbits were sick for a time, but the o'.der female has apparently recovered and hae since given birth to a litter of eight- The doctor also says that the Investigations of the state bacteriologist are practically the same as those he made.
