'I am out of the city clerkship race for good," said City License Inspector Jessrang yesterday, "not for the rea son that I feared I could not win but because I have got something better.

Wessel & Noble, dealer in ladles' cloaks, suits and furs, with a place of business at 39 East Sixth street, yes terday filed a petition in voluntary bankruptcy According to the schedule of liabili ties and assets returned, the firm will probably "be" able to settle in full with Its creditors, if given time. The total liabilities of the partnership are given as $26,207.50, while the estimated value of the stock and fix tures is $27,100. The liabilities of the firm consist principally of bills owing to Eastern firms for goods purchased, although the National German-Ameri can Bank of St. Paul holds two notes given by the firm, one for $3,000 and another for $2,000, and other St. Paul firms come in for small amounts. The total assets of the firm are listed at $32,007, of which amount $5,800 is in open accounts. In the individual schedule of liabili ties and assets filed by Louis O. Wes sel, one of the members of the firm, the petitioner admits debts to the amount of 54.595, secured by property valued at $9,730, and $900 unsecured. His as sets consist of $3,700 worth of real es tate., $2,100 worth of household goods, and stocks and negotiable bonds val ued'at $6,ooo.'Aside-from this is an in surance policy for $5,500. Of this amount the sum of $9,100 is claimed as exempt under the bankruptcy law, leaving the total value of the assets held by Mr. Wessel $15,100. William J. Noble, junior member of the firm, has individual debts amount ing to $1,541.25, and assets in the form of household goods valued at $200, claimed as exempt. A meeting of .the creditors of the firm will be held this afternoon at the office of Michael Doran Jr., referee in bankruptcy, in the Germania Life building, at which time some plan of procedure will be decided upon. It is probable that a receiver will be agreed upon- at the "meeting this afternoon, who will take charge of the business. An insufficient amount of capital to carry on the business is supposed to be responsible for the firm's failure. When seen by a Globe representative last night, Louis O. Wessel, senior member of the firm, refused to talk. "I have no statement to make at this time," said Mr. Wessel. "There*vill be a meeting of the creditors tomorrow, and after this has been held we may have some statement to make. There is nothing to be said until after this meeting."

ROXEY REBER MEETS SUCCESS IN ALASKA Becomes Western Agent of Large and Important Mining Concern. Friends of Roxey Reber, who was for many years proprietor of a restau rant and bar in this city, will be in terested to know that he has become quite a man of affairs at Nome, Alaska, and is involved in important business interests of that territory. O. S. Stone, assistant general passen ger agent of the Great Northern, has just received a very elaborate and typo graphically artistic prospectus of the Golden Link Mining company, which shows that Mr. Reber is the Western agent of that company. The corporation is capitalized for $500,000, and in the roster of officers and directors appear the names of a number of Eastern n»n of prominence and importance in the financial world. HONEYMOON IS CUT SHORT AFTER TWO HOURS Miss Laura Fleck and John J. McMahon Hie Them to the Court House, Procure License and Are Married by the Court Commissioner —Tried to Keep It Quiet. Determined to wed, but unable to se cure the consent of the young wom an's parents, John J. McMahon, a clerk employed in the Great Northern gen eral offices, and Miss Laura Fleck, a pretty, dark-eyed girl of twenty, suc cessfully planned an elopement, and were married at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon by Court Commissioner Henry Gallick at his office in the court house. The marriage license bureau and Court Commissioner Gallick were sworn to secrecy, and after the mar riage and a honeymoon of two hours, the couple separated and returned to their respective homes, as though noth ing unusual had happened. It was the intention of the couple to keep the marriage a secret several weeks, during which time they were to live apart. Not even the most in timate friends of the contracting par ties were taken Into the confidence of the romantic lovers. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Fleck, of 122 West Fill more street, and has for a year past been employed as a salesgirl in Allen's bakery and confectionery establish ment on Wabasha, near Fifth street. Tuesday she said she did not feel well and asked permission to go home. Yes terday she told her mother she was going down town to "do a little shop ping," but failed to mention the fact that a marriage license was one of the articles which might be purchased be fore she returned. They Tell Fairy Tales. About the same time Miss Fleck was telling her mother of her proposed trip down town, John McMahon was ex plaining to his superior officer at the Great Northern offices that he needed an afternoon off to look after some "important business matters." By a prearranged plan the two met at Fifth and Wabasha streets shortly before 2 o'clock, and went directly to the court house, where a marriage li cense was secured, immediately after which Court Commissioner Gallick was called upon to marry them. From the court house Mr. and Mrs. McMahon went to the home of a mutual friend, where they remained until 6 o'clock last evening, when they separated to go to their own homes. When "Miss Fleck" reached her home in the evening, she tossed a few pur chases on the table, and appeared '^s' natural as possible under the trying circumstances. It was decided that Mrs. McMahon should live at hOm&ffS "Miss Fleck" until about the.. Ist of April, when the wedding would be an nounced. The objections made by the parents of Miss Fleck to her marriage are re sponsible for the elopement of the daughter. While waiting down town yesterday for her lover to put in an appearance, Miss Fleck stepped into her place of employment and informed her friends that she "was much better," but she was unable to say just when she would be able to return to her work. Miss Fleck Is twenty years old and very pretty, and during the time she has sold bonbons and other sweets- at Allen's has made many friends. The announcement of the marriage inTheGlobe this morning will come as a surprise to not only the many friends of the contracting parties, but to the families of the two as well, and probably to the young people them selves.

METHODISTS TO ARGUE OVER AMUSEMENTS Will Discuss Clause Tabooing Dancing, Theaters, Card Playing, Etc. The possibility of being "churched" under the amusement clause in the dis cipline of the Methodist Episcopal church promises to be an inviting field for discussion among the local congre gations of that denomination during the next few months. The clause names dancing, playing at cards, games of chance, attending theaters, horse races, circuses, dancing parties or patronizing dancing schools as fit msftters for congregational inter ference, and as an attempt will be made to secure its elimination or modi fication at the next meeting of the gen eral- conference, which convenes in California in May, general attention is being directed to its consideration. "The clause can hardly be called a live topic at this date," said Dr. Bridg man, of Hamline college, last night, "but something may develop later. Every Methodist has a different way of interpreting iti and if brought up at*the conference ifnrlll not be for the pur pose of eliminating it entirely, but rather to remodel it. It has not been discussed by the ministry and I don't think the laity have interested them selves to any great extent." The Men's Liea^rue of the First M. E. Church has taken up the question and has arranged foi>'a debate upon it, to be held next Monday evening in the church parlors. JC. D. Bentley wilt rep resent the affirmative, and C. D. Risser the negative. BLOCK IN LOWER TOWN SEJXS FOR $51,000 M. R. Morgan and Wife CoTivey Prop- erty for Railroad Purposes. M. R. Morgan and wife yesterday sold to J. J. Watson, supposed to be acting for the Northern Pacific, an en tire block of property in Kittson's addi tion, the price paid being $51,000. This is in. lower town, in the vicinity in which the railroad company has been buying so much property recently. The block is bounded by Neill, Eighth, Grove and Kittson streets. There are four buildings on it THEY JOIN IN URGING NEED OF Y. M. C. A. BUILDING Representative Clergymen and Laymen Heartily In dorse the Project at a Din ner Held at the Commer cial Club-Estimated Cost of Structure $300,000. In the interest of the projected new building for the Y. M. C. A., the plans of which have already been published, the association assembled about fifty of the ministers of the city at dinner at the Commercial club last evening. All branches of the Protestant church were represented, and among the guests was Rabbi Isaac Rypins. The purpose of the gathering was to enlist the Interest and active participa tion of the ministers of the city gen erally in the plans already formed to raise funds for the new building, and the speeches were directed to that end. Thomas H. Dickson, one of the di rectors of the Y. M. C. A., officiated as toastmaste^, and brief addresses were made by a number of the mem bers of the association and several of the ministers, who have already prom inently identified themselves with its affairs. Rev. H. V. Givler, pastor of the First M. E. church, said he believed the $300,000 required for the new building could be raised at this time, and raised without great difficulty. The people of St. Paul, he thoyght, wanted a Y. M. C. A. building, and would be will ing to give their money to pay for it. D. R. Noyes said that, in his opinion, the business firms of the city and bus iness men would readily recognize the advantages of this project and the de sirability of a Y. M. C. A. building. Railroad companies also would, he thought, take kindly to it, for he be lieved they all appreciated the desira* bility of protecting the morals of their employes. Rev. Theodore Sedgwick, pastor of St. John's church, suggested that a Y. M. . _£\ A. located in rented quarters could not have proper individuality or exercise its natural influence to the full. Minneapolis Better Provided. Rev. S. G. Smith, of the People's church, said in part: "Every year tens of thousands of young men decide to leave the country and the small town and village and locate in the cities. Father and mother, and sometimes pastor and friends help to advise young men as to their choice of a city in which to lo cate. Such parents, pastor and friends are" now taking greater pains than ever.before to advice such young men to locate in cities where the moral pro tefctton against city vices and tempta tions is at the maximum. Minneapolis, with such an association building, and St. Paul without one, gives Minneapo lis every advantage in this respect." Mr. Smith said further that one great trouble he had noted in public affairs in St. Paul was that as soon as one good thing was well started and under way, another or several others would start at once. He thought a general hospital very desirable, but he believed the thing to claim the public attention and public support at this time was the Y. M. C. A. building. There should be no competition in these projects, and he felt that everything else should wait until the Y. M. C. A. was provided for. B. T. Schriber devoted his remarks to impressing the company with the idea that in asking for the sum of $300,000 the Y. M. C. A. had placed its demand at the lowest figure, and had not asked for $300,000 when $200,000 Avould an swer the purpose. It would be neces sary, he said, to have $300,000, and nothing less than that would answer the purpose. Rev. John Sinclair, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, assured the association of the support of the clergy of the city. Throughout the dinner music was furnished by the Y. M. C. A. Mandolin and Guitar orchestra. The ministers present were Revs. F. M. Rul£, R. N. Avison, Karl Koch, Henry Dixon Jones, Archibald Cardie, John Wright, O. W. Taylor, Edward P. Lewis, Dr. Harmon, Samuel G. Smith, L. G. Smith, M. D. Edwards, H. V. Giv ler. Theodore Sedgwick, E. R. McKin ney, C. C. Markham, Albert Kuba, H. W. Knox, W. A. Vrooman, George N. Makely, A. L.

Schriber, G. M .Tibbs, Henry C. Casper, Lloyd B. Aus tin, Edward Grace, John Jeager, M. L. Hutchins. AN ENDLESS CHAIN. That's What It Looks Like to a Coffee Toper, The trained nurse has a hard task indeed during the long lonesome hours of the night when she must keep watch and it is hardly to be wondered at that many of them fall Into the use of stim ulants. "When I first entered the profes sion," writes a trained nurse of Kan sas City, Mo., "I was required to give my patient most careful watching, and during the long, sleepless nights I used to refresh myself every now and then with a cup of strong coffee. "For a time it would seem to revive me, but unless I took another cup my condition was worse than ever. In time I became extremely nervous and my strength failed me, but a sister nurse came to my relief by telling me her own experience. She said: 'I have been just where you are now, on the verge of nervous prostration, but if you do as I did you can be restored to perfect health. If you will give up your coffee and use Postum Food Cof fee your strength will return and your nerves be rebuilt.' Upon her advice I immediately quit coffee and began the use of Postum Food Coffee, and what a change! "It has been two years now since I commenced Postum, and notwithstand ing the days and nights of hard w rork which come to every nurse I find I am strong in every way and feel ready to live my allotted 'three score and ten.' Postum is a good friend to me and I have tried to be a good friend to Pos tum in return, and many of my ner vous patients have been greatly bene fited by its use. "One of these cases I will mention briefly, The patient was a newspaper editor and his condition was such that the doctors were afraid to let him be left alone. I made Postum for him and made it good. He was delighted with it and quit coffee entirely, and it was not long before he completely recov ered, is now strong physically and mentally, and has resumed his editorial duties. I know the chief cause of his recovery was the leaving off of coffee and taking Postum Food Coffee. He is naturally a good, strong friend of Pos \ turn."

WIFE RELEASED FROM • MINISTER HUSBAND Mrs. Fanny M. Berry Is Separated From Rev. James F. Berry. In the district court yesterday Judge Lewis granted a divorce to the plain tiff in the famous divorce case of Fan ny M. Berry against the Rev. James F. Berry, a Presbyterian minister, who lived with his family In this city until a year ago, when he Is said to have deserted her. What promised to be a, . sensation was averted by Rev. Berry failing to appear in court and contest the action, as it was supposed he would do, since he filed an answer to his wife's com plaint, making many countercharges. Mrs. Berry charged her husband with cruel and inhuman treatment, fond ness of other women, swearing and many other things which are supposed to be alien to ministers of the gospel. When the suit was first given pub licity it created a considerable stir among the members of the Central Presbyterian church, where both Rev. and Mrs. Berry were in the habit of worshiping. The Rev.
