KEEPS FOODS PURE Interesting Refrigerator Experiments Con ducted by H. S. Cleveland. Some interesting refrigerator experi ments have been made during the past two weeks by H. S. Cleveland at his big hardware store, 506 and 507 Washing ton avenue S. The celebrated Herrick Sanitary refrigerator was used in the ex periments and the results have astonished many householders, butchers, grocers and others interested in up-to-date refrigera tors. The Herrick refrigerator differs from the old style "ice-box" in that It has a side-icer instead of the awkward, space taking top receptacle. The interior con sists entirely of spruce wood, packed with mineral wool, instead of the old-fashioned zinc. The arrangement is such that the cold air current goes in one general direc tion and thus does not produce the deadly moistures so prevalent in the old style refrigerators. The air in the Herrick is always dry. To prove this Mr. Cleveland placed matches on one of the shelves sev eral weeks ago. To-day these same matches are dryer than they were when they were placed in the box. Wet paper placed on the shelves will burn like tind er at the end of Ave hours. Fruit, onions, milk and butter were placed in the refrig erator and at the end of twenty-four hours there was no sign of taint. Fruit and vegetables will absolutely not spoil. They will in time dry up crisp, but they will not rot. Mr. Cleveland proved con clusively that the Herrick was a great saver of ice. This splendid scientific and sanitary re frigerator is meeting- with splendid pat ronage and will do much for healthful san itation and household economy. The Her rick is as reasonable in price as any re frigerator on the market.

Grain Man Says the Price Indicates a Too Heavy Discount of Future.' Flax sold to-day in the cash grain mar ket at the Minneapolis Chamber of Com merce at $1.05 a bushel:the lowest price known here in almost four years. This represents a drop of about 11 cents in the past fortnight and has revived the old talk that flax is to go under a dollar a bushel this year. This would be a matter of the greatest importance to the farmer and to the northwest as a whole. Many in the grain trade think that the decline will be checked, as it was in January last, when flax broke down and threattned to go below a dollar. Every additional dip in price from now on will mean a slice off the total income of the northwest from its agricultural output, and will mean much to the dis tricts where flax is raised very largely. Thru 1900, 1901 and up to September 1902, cash flax in Minneapolis never sold below $1.35, and there were large sales this period to local linseed oil mills as high as $1.80 and $1.85, the record price being $1.87^, paid here by an ex porter on July 16, 1901. These were the halcyon days, when the new settler, go ing upon wild land, broke it up and put it all in flax, and on a fair yield per acre realized enough on the one crop to pay for his land. There were no long-time mortgages hanging over new farmers then. In September, 1899, flax sold here at 87%@90c. That was the year so much of the flax was late in maturing, and while it was still in a tender stage was heavily damaged by frosts. Flax took on a range above the dollar mark, and has held it ever since, and in the opinion of many grain men, will continue to hold it, notwithstanding the fact that the mar ket is now at so low a point. This year opened with flax around $1.20 and there was a break from this point to $1.09. Then came the early reports of a largely decreased acreage this season, and a sharp advance in price followed. By May 23 the local market was holding around $1.16%, and since then the ten dency has been downward very steadily. It was found that thru Minnesota and North Dakota, especially along the Soo road, much more flax had been put in than was originally indicated, while the condition of the growing plants up to this time is pronounced by experts to be higher than ever before seen on a corre sponding date. There is the possibility, therefore, of a large yield, even on an acreage now generally admitted to be 15 per cent under last year. "Flax is worth more than $1.05," said a grain man this morning. "It hurts the commission men to have it decline so and discourages farmers from planting it. Nothing justifies the present low figure except the good outlook for the crop. But flax is a tender plant, very susceptible to frost damage, and enough of it is late this year to make it worth watching. We have not got the crop yet, but the price is down to a level based on the assump tion that we are going to get it all. I con sider the present price as discounting the future too heavily, and while, of course, it is all uncertain, yet I am no 90-cent flax man by any means. I do not think it will go under $1, and for the farmers' sake, hope it will not." UNIQUE ADVERTISING How the Dayton Dry Goods Company Is. Attracting Attention. For the last ten days the interest of Journal readers has been awakened by a procession pictured on the third page. Last week Monday a blank space three inches across the top of that page at tracted the eye. But it was not altogeth er vacant, for at the right end part the figure of a chic young woman was shown entering the space. Tuesday she was followed by more figures, and Wednesday still more were added. Still there was nothing to tell of the what, where and when of it. Thursday the procession was farther augmented.' The lead of the smartly dressed young woman was eager ly watched. Friday and Saturday the throng of fashionably gowned women and children,' with a scattering of men in creased farther. Tet not a word as to their destination. . But Monday came the announcement that the parade was headed for the Inven tory Sale of the Dayton (formerly Good fellow) Dry Goods company. More figures were added, however, all this week and the complete drawing, with the chic young woman arrived at her destinatftra end details of the three days' sale, ap pears . on pages 8 and 9. The most interesting feature of the celebration was the dancing. Under the spell of the crude music evoked from huge drums in the center of the dancing circle, all of the old red men seemed to forget that they were not masters of the prairies now as they were in the long ago, when they and their tribesmen claimed all the land north, east, west and south within a four days' journey. They entered into the spirit of the dance The Trouble Was His Identity Was Not Known Until He Was - Released.

According to the report, he worked a short-change game on an innocent member of the Waseca community, and as a result was sent to jail for ten days. After he had been released and had made a good get-away, the authorities learned that they had held the famous Billy Edwards, who is badly wanted in Duluth for an offense similar to that for which his partner, "Cheerful Charlie" Howard is: serving time at Stillwater, and whom any-osf jthei twlrworty officers would pick-up on sighte,-.*EdsaTds is also under subpoena jtafthe'^Bistrict' court of this county, .andr will be badly wanted- if some of the municipal cases still on the docket ever come to trial.

S. S. ENTEKTAINMENT Young Folk of Immaculate Concep- * tion Church at the Bijou. The annual entertainment of the Im maculate Conception school was given yesterday at the Bijou theater. The pro gram consisted of songs, marches and tab leaux, ending with, a pretty operetta. More than 100 children participated. One of the most attractive numbers was en titlted "Apple Blossoms," in which ap peared thirty little girls in fluffy pink dresses and carrying apple blosoms. Groups of twenty or more boys, arrayed as cooks, huntsmen and shepherd*,' con tributed vocal numbers, and still other girls represented water nymphs and floral maidens. Great enthusiasm was aroused by the patriotic drill of the boys, each carrying the national emblem. Not least on the program was. the delightful singing of Catherine "Vincent, who sang "Water Cresses." Interesting recitations were given by Miss G. Shesgreen and Alber Hixon. Among those who took part in the op eretta, "Laila," were Miss Frances Vin cent, Margaret Donovan, Margaret Col lins, Cecelia Donovan, Eveline Vincent, Catherine Mousse, Mary Kuava, Regent Vincent, Esther Sirvis and Mary Mc Crossman. Mrs. Charles Babcock was the accompanist and director. The perform ance will be repeated this evening. JOYCE JOINS FLEET Minneapolis Boy Off for Summer Practice Cruise. Special to The Journal.

Several subjects for charter legislation were discussed informally before the new charter commission last evening. Nearly a score of city officials were present, and most of them contributed ideas on' the various questions. Most attention was given to civil serv ice and special municipal elections. As sistant Chief Michael Hanley and Fire Marshal C. W. Ringer spoke for civil serv ive in the fire department. Mayor Haynes thought it should be made general in all city departments, and at least in the po lice department. Alderman Sam E. Adams also thought that if civil service was adopted, it should be made general. Civil service would keep firemen and police men out of politics, where they had no business to interfere, argued Alderman G. A. Westphal. Separate city elections were urged by Mayor Haynes, Alderman Westphal and Alderman D. P. Jones, who embodied his ideas in a written communication. Al derman Adams doubted the advisability of separate elections, as did Alderman Harry G. McLaskey. It was suggested by several that it was not so much a question of charter at the present time as it was t c get the city on a home-rule basis, so that the legisla ture could be prevented from interfering in various ways, and particularly in pav ing the way for big bond issues. Alder men Jones, McLaskey and A. E. Merrill In particular emphasized the necessity of a home-rule form of government. Aldermen Merrill, C. W. Clark and Westphal were of the opinion that one alderman from each ward would be suf ficient, but he should receive a larger salary than was allowed at present. P. M. Hall, health commissioner, ad dressed the charter commission at some length on having a street-cleaning de partment which should have complete charge of this important work. The inequality of tax assessments fur nished food for remarks by Andrew Rin ker, city engineer, and Alderman Claus Mumm. The former also spoke in favor of civil service, which had been in prac tical operation in the city engineer's de partment for twenty years. Alderman Mumm declared that he did not find any thing particularly meritorious in the "home rule" idea, and- it was a foreign one anyway. The general public is invited to attend the next meeting at the cTty hall next Tuesday evening. BELL BOY ARRESTED J. Carter, a Minneapolis Boy, Charged - with Theft in the Hotel , Ryan. J. Carter, a bell boy at the Ryan Hotel, St. Paul, was arrested last night on a charge of robbery in the hotel. Carter is a Minneapolis boy and went to the Ryan to work only nine days ago.

Going to the room he unlocked the door and when detected he started to run down the hall. The employes stopped him and he was taken to the station.
