nounces a prize in the Gay Burlesquers of

high-class vaudeville, musical farce comedy
and burlesque. The opening skit is a clever
satire on the invasion of the vaudeville stage
by well-known stars. The closing burletta,
entitled "Wine, Women and Song," is a
clever bit of nonsense.

AMES~WILL DISCRIMINATE
Will Not Enforce Wineroom Ordi
nance in All Placea.
The Jones wine room ordinance, accord
ing to Mayor Ames' view of the case, was
intended to apply only to the lower class
of such resorts. He holds that neither
in letter nor spirit was it designed to af
fect the best hotels and the better class
of places where liquor is sold. He will
enforce the law in conformity with this
\iew, he says. The partitions will have
to come out and stay out of all places
where, in his judgment, the morals of the
community are threatened by their ex
istence.
St. Paul May Act.
Encouraged to action by the ruling of
the supreme court upholding the consti
tutionality of the Jones wine room ordi
nance, the St. Paul people will begin at
once to agitate for the adoption of a sim
ilar measure in that city. The assembly
is expected to take the initiative, and it
is said that there is no doubt that the
measure will pass that body. Its recep
tion by the board of aldermen is consid
ered more uncertain. The Retail Liquor
Dealers' association is already actively
organizing to defeat the measure.
CARD OF THAKKS
We wish to thank our many friends and
neighbors who by their kindness, loving
services and thougntfulness did so much to
lighten our sorrow in the bereavement of our
beloved child. Hazel Gertrude.

MONEY FOR ASBURY

Amount Raised.
The board of directors of Asbury hos
pital re-elected the officers whose terms
have just expired, at the annual meeting
in the Hennepin Avenue M. E. church yes

President, Rev. J. F. Chaffee; vice
president, Dr. J. F. Force; treasurer and
superintendent, Sarah H. Knight: secre
tary, Henry M. Farnham; medical di
rector, Dr. F. A. Dunsmoor; chairman

amount is raised. There is already $21,000
in sight towards the acceptance of Mr.
Hill's offer.
MATERIAL IS PLENTY
Xo Lack of t'niitlidntoN in the Flam-
beau Club Contest.
WheH the Flambeau club recently an
nounced that it was going to hold a voting
contest at its mid-winter fair in Century
hall. Jan. 28-Feb. 2, it was expected there
would be more or less hard work to induce
the women clerks and stenographers to
enter the lists in the race for popularity,
but this has been found to be a mistake.,
Already the committee having the matter
in charge has been swamped with appli
cations from all quarters of the city.
Indications point to the affair being a
great success, as well as a novelty. The
money thus obtained by the club will be
used in chartering a special train to carry
the members of the organization and their
friends to the inaugural ceremonies in
Washington in. March.
BROTHER CONTESTS IT
Will of Emma Abbot Disputed by
the Relatives.
Seth Abbot, for many years a resident of
Minneapolis and widely known as the
father of Emma Abbot, the famous singer,
is having trouble with his children in
Chicago. Tiie contestants in court are
Fred M. Abbot and Mrs. Lizzie Clark, his
children. Fred Abbot asked for the re
moval of the public conservator from con
trol of the estate on the ground that Seth
Abbot is a resident of California. Mrs.
Clark opposes this motion.
The contest developed the fact that Em
ma Abbot set aside $100,000 for the main
tenance of her father, who is now recover
ing from an attack of insanity at the home
of Mrs. Clark.
SAYS DOCTORS WERE SLACK
.Norton Blames IMiyhiciuii* for the
Spread of Smallpox.
In introducing his annual report to be
submitted to the council at its next meet
ing, former Health Commissioner Norton
has a final word to say regarding the small
pox epidemic of last year. He declares
that the fault for the spread of the disease
lies with the physicians who failed to re
port cases of chicken-pox, as many of these
later developed into the more serious dis
ease.
Of diphtheria there were 869 cases and
113 deaths; of scarlet fever, 633 cases and
13 deaths; of typhoid, 376 cases and 79
deaths.

DECLARED TO BE INSANE
HRii.HELSTROM GOES TO RT.PBTBB
On Her Examination She Said She
Believed She Had Been lu
der Hypnotic Influence.
Mrs. Matilda Helstrom, who clubbed her
daughter to death last week, was yester
day committed to the insane asylum at
St. Peter.
Mrs. Helstrom said she believed she
had been under hypnotic influence for
some time before the deed. For days be
fore its commission, mysterious voices had
directed her to kill the girl. Her first
blow with the bottle had awakened the
girl, who sprang from bed, but was soon
knocked senseless.
Mr. Helstrom testified that his wife had
been the victim of melancholia for some
time. Neighbors noticed that she acted
queer.
Prior to the examination there was a
dispute as to which court, district or pro
bate, had jurisdiction over the woman.
County Attorney Boardman maintained
that, there being no complaint against her,
insanity being so apparent, the case should
be disposed of by the probate court.
IN HOTEL CORRIDORS
"There is no doubt that Major White's ad
ministration as governor is sure to bo satis
factory to the people of the state," said O.
■C. Searies of Hillsboro, X. D., "but there is
one thing in his receut message to which I
am inclined to take a little exception, with
out in the least questioning the governor's
motive. I am not in favor of any measure
that is liable to detract from the usefulness
of the University of Xorth Dakota. It is au
institution that has made wonderful strides
during the past few years, and that at times
under adverse circumstances. The people of
the state should begin to realize that if they
are ever to have a university that is to edu
cate their children in the professional as well
as the academic courses now is the time to
begin building it up.
"I was very much interested In the lum
bermen's convention. Minneapolis is a good
place for that meeting, as It is centrally
located. I was specially interested in the
move for new legislation especially in regard
to the changes in the lien laws."
W. T. Smith of Kenmare, N. D., is at the
Vendome. Mr. Smith is in Minneapolis to
establish a market for the lignite coal mined
by the Smtth-Kenmare Dry Coal company.
Kenmare is one the Soo road, a few stations
above Minot. The Soo has always been fa
vorably inclined to the North Dakota coal,
and it is that fact which leads the coal bar
ons of that state toward the hope that they
will find an opening for their product iv
Minneapolis. Mr. Smith states that the mine
is working full time and that he expects to
increase the output within a short time.
"Pierre is coming along fast," said L. H.
:iow of Pierre, "and when we get the new
railroad aeros3 the reservation of country we
are going to have v boom. The legislature
is peaceful. Gamble had no trouble in se
curing the caucus nomination and I was glad
to see the Hills country recognize the fact
that he was really entitled to it. The peo
ple of the state look for a highly satisfactory
administration from Governor Herreld.
South Dakota has had all she wants of pop
ulism and they made the killing a thorough
one this last fall. 1 take no stock in these
attempts at capital removal. Looks too much
like ghosting."
"The people along the Jamestown & North
ern are expecting a good chunk of Immigra
tion this year," said T. E. Mather of Minne
waukan. "If the number of new settlers in
our country is as large this spring as it was
iv the early months of last year we will be
satisfied. While the drought of the early
summer hurt the wheat to a considerable ex
tent, the farmers in our section of the state
did not weep long over it on account of the
large acreage of flax. The price of flax was
such as to make them all happy and the new
arrivals were far from discouraged. The
flax acreage will be large again this year.
There is a tendency also to more stock. The
press of the state has been preaching this
for some years and the farmer is beginning
to "believe that it is the thing for him to do.
I am glad to see lignite <-o;il obtaining some
recognition. It means much to the western
part of the state."
D. H. McMillan of Langdon, X. D., stats
treasurer of the north state, came to .Minne
apolis just in time to get a touch of the
grip. He has been laid up at the Xational
for a few days but expects to be well enough
to return home this, evening.
F. B. Grimshaw of Clarke. S. D., is at the
Xkollet. "The drought did not affect us
much the past year," said Mr. Grimshaw.
"Our part of the country has gotten past the
point where a failure of one of the cereals
to produce right troubles us. The past few
years has seen a lot of stock imported and
raised in the territory tributary to Clarke,
and the farmers never did v better thing for
themselves. South Dakota republicans cov
ered themselves with glory at the last elec
tion and they do not seem inclined to spoi!
it by foolish work at Pierre. Gamble will
make a good senator and Herreid is sure to
give the state a good administration. Popu
lism In South Dakota is all to."
H. C. Delaney of Xapoleon, X. D., is at
the St. James. Mr. Delaney is largely in
terested in stock. He states that the Soo
road opened a rich country when it extended
to Xapoleon.
H. J. Ashley, the Renville, Minn., miller,
is in the city.
W. A. Cavanaugh, R. L. Peterson and W.
J. Cummings of Winnipeg are at the Xicol
let. Mr. Cavanaugh states that the Mani
toba country is having its share of healthy
winter'weather, although the winter has not
been severe. The people of Winnipeg con
sider that the next few years will be notable
ones in the developmpnt of western Canada,
and that means the prosperity of Winnipeg.
The Manitoba capital is interested to a great
extent in the mining industry in the Rainy
river country, which promises well.
H. M. Heen of Xortbwood, X. D.. ia at the
Nlcollet. Mr. Heen is here to interview some
of the wholesalers. "Xorthwood has recov
ered from the effects of the big fire," said
Mr. Heen, "and is ready to take advantage of
all the prosperity that can be thrown its way.
Trade depends entirely upon the crop, and we
do not know what is in sight for the. coming
year."
B. F. Byers of Olivia, Minn., is at the St.
James on his way south. Mr. Byera is in
terested in banking and the hardware trade,
lie says the past year in his part of the state
was satisfactory.
William Doeriugl of Trippe, S. D., is a guest
at the National. He believes that South Da
kota is getting on a more substantial basis
every year and attributes a part of this to
stock raising.
NAMED BY LABOR
West Superior's Twentieth Century
Bahy Called "Childs."
Alpha Tweneentia Minnea Lundeen of
Minneapolis should shake hands with
Chlld6 Johnson of West Superior, Wis.
He is the first baby born in the lake town
this century, and is the son of the fore
man of the Evening Telegram. The father
is a member of the Trades and I^abor As
sembly. The organization claimed the
privilege of naming the first boy of the
century. The name Childs is in honor of
the late George \V. Childs, who did so
much for organized labor. The most pop
ular name with the readers of the Tele
gram was Alpha.

a coach on a Wabash train, killing Jessie
Bell, porter, and injuring a woman pas

RECEPTION AT WALKER HOME
Where the General Work of the Aa-
Hoviation Ih DiaciiNaed and
Rpminlscencea Told.
The work of the Young Men's Christian
Association was presented to a large group
of Minneapolis people this afternoon at a
reception at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
T. 8.-Walker. The guests of honor in
cluded a group of members of the interna
tional committee of the Y. M. C. A. who
are spending the day in Minneapolis.
They were Cyrus H. McCormick of Chi
cago, Richard C. Morse, William B. Mil
ler of New York, E. L. Hamilton. C. K.
Ober of Chicago, E. C. Mlchener of Chi
cago and C. S. Ward of Minneapolis.
They arrived from Chicago this morning
and with the local representatives, Mr.
Walker, H. P. Goddard and E. W. Peck,
were entertained at luncheon at 1 o'clock
at the West Hotel.
The reception was for the purpose of
presenting the work of the association to
the public. William B. Miller of New
York, who has charge of the army and
navy work, told what the association was

a reception at the home of Mr. and Mrs.

A REMOTE POSSIBILITY
(i. \. ( O\TROI, OF THE "ST. PALL"
Mr. Hill Says the Matter Uasa't
Warranted the Attention
Given It.
New York, Jan. 17.—1n an interview to
day James J. Hill declared that he had
never owned a share of stock in the St.
Paul road in his life, and that the Great
Northern had no desire to acquire the
property. He added that the same was
doubtless true of the Northern Pacific
"In. regard to the rumor in Wall street
management. Said Mr. Hill:
that has recently been so persistently cir
culated, to the effect that the Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific desired to
secure control of the St. Paul, I can as
sure you that the facts in the case have
not warranted the attention the matter
has received. I cannot say that the propo
sition has never been considered, but it
has never been more than a most remote
possibility. It has never reached the
point where it might ever be called a pos
sibility.
"It would not be correct, however, to
say that the matter Is dead. It Is still
a possibility, but nothing more."
CROW'S >EST COAL
J. J. Hill Mixes Iv and Will Build a
Railroad.
It is asserted on excellent authority that
James J. Hill ha 3at last secured an inter
est in the Crow's Nest coal fields, and that
he has guaranteed to take all surplus coal
from the company up to 6,000 tons a day.
It is also said that Mr. Hill will ask the
Canadian go-vernment to make concessions
that will permit of the construction of a
line connecting the Great Northern with
the Crow's Nest coal mines.
Announcement has already been made of
the companys' determination to increase
its capital stock from $2,000,000 to $3,500,
--000. Mr. Hill will get a third of this in
crease, or $500,000.
TO HAIL THE ORE
Vortli-Western . and "Milwaukee"
llivjils for the UusinrxN.
Crystal Palls, Mich., Jan. 17.—There is
a keen rivalry between the Milwaukee and
the North-Western railroads iv this dis
trict over the ore business for next sea
son. The North-Western has had a mo
nopoly of the ore hauling since the mines
were opened and is pulling every s-tring
to retain its hold. The Milwaukee, whose
lines were extended to this district last
season, is working just as assiduously to
get a foothold. The Milwaukee will haul
its ore to Escanaba and expects to haul
much ore from other points on the Me
nominee and also from the west end of the
Marquette range.
Since the opening of its branch to this
city the traffic has steadily increased and
it now has the bulk of the local business.
The officials express themselves as well
pleased with the outlook. The Milwaukee
is putting up tasty and modern buildings
and spending a lot of money on the
terminals.
We suggest that One Minute Cough Cure
be taken when there are indications of
having taken cold. It cures quickly.
