CATARRHAL TROUBLES PREVALENT
Spring Months Cause CatarrhBreathe
Hyomei, and Cured.
Catarrhal troubles are more common
at this season than at any other time
of the year. The sudden changes that
come during the spring months are pro
ductive of many cases of catarrh that
without proper treatment will become
chronic.
The pleasantest, most convenient, and
irV*bnly scientific method for the treatment
and cure of catarrh is Hyomei. Simply
put twen ty drops in the little pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit, and
then breathe it for three minutes four
times a day.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
one dollar, and as the inhaler will last
a lifetime and there is sufficient Hyomei
for several weeks' treatment, it is the
most economical catarrhal remedy
known. Extra bottles can be procured
for fiftv cents. Ask "Voegeli Bros.,
corner Hennepin and Washington and
corner 7th street and Nicollet avenue,
to show you the strong guarantee under
which they sell Hyomei "*M-

ROY NODHOLM ONLY SAVED
QUICK WO$K. 1
Brother of Nodholm's Wife, Enraged
at the Treatment Given His Sister,
Attempted to Kill the Husban d
Two Women Are on the Trail of
NodholmArraigned in Court.
Prisoned behin'd the steel bars of
Central police station, like a rat in a
trap, Eoy.Nodholm was aroused from a
partial stupor this mortting to look into
the mu?zle of a glittering revolver held
by his enraged brother-in-law.
"Mrs. Nodholm, a bride of six weeks,
stood silently, while her brother at
tempted the life of her husband.
Assistant Countv Attorney John
Bernhagen and Jailor' Al Needham
saved the prisoner's life by prompt in
terference.
Nodholm was arrested yesterday on
the complaint of Annie Olson, who al
leges that he is her common-law hus
band, and the father of her year-old
child. She says he deserted her short
ly before he married Mrs. Nodholm
No. 2.
The latter called with her brother
this morning to see the prisoner, and
the two were admitted to the cell block,
accompanied by Bernhagen and Jailor
Needham. In spite of their presence,
the en'raged youth lost all self-control
at the sight of the accused man.
Without warning, he jerked a re
volver from his pocket, and with the
words, "You'll die now or never,"
pointed the weapon between the bars'
at Nodholm's head, scarce three feet
away. The prisoner, trembling with
fear, crouched in on corner of the cell
awaiting the death shot. The youth's
first movement, however, was noted by
the attorney, who grabbed him by the
throat, and, with the aid of the jailor,
bore him to the floor. This seemed to
brir,g him to his senses, but to prevent
further trouble he was ordered out.
The wo wives were not allowed to
see each other for fear of another out
break, and Nodholm was arraigned
alone. His case was continued until
tomorrow.

After' returning several indictments
yesterday the grand jury adiourned to

The present grand jury is in favor
of taking advantage of the start made
in the crusade against "baby farms"
and has returned indictments ii all
cases where there is a chance of convic
tion. Outside of this line of new work
the majority of members are against

municipal investigations this term.
"Minneapolis has had far too much of
that kind of advertising said one
grand jupor today, "and unless some
flagrant instance comes to the knowl
edge of our jury, I feel sure that we
will not go into municipal affairs. Our
report, if we make one, will contain
nothing to give the newspapers a chance

CELEBRATE CITY'S
EMI-CENTEMAL
PIONEERS WILL DISCUSS PLANS
FOR COMMEMORATION. \ffi
Some Ceremony Will Planned for
June 1, and I May Include Removal
of the Old Godfrey House to a
Permanent LocationSchool Children
May Take Important Part.
St. Anthony was incorporated and
held its first election just fifty years
ago, and there is a strong sentiment in
favor of some public observance of the
semicentennial. While Minneapolis and
St. Anthony were not joined until 1873,
it will undoubtedly be accepted that the
municipal history of the present city
began in St. Anthony in 1855, even tho
the communities on opposite sides of the
river were separate municipalities for
several years. June 1 is suggested as
a desirable date.
A preliminary meeting for the or
ganization of the pioneers of Hennepin
county and discussion of the matter of
semi-centennial celebration will be held
in the mayor's reception-room at the
city hall next Monday at 2 p.m. Ed
win Clark, who has devoted much of his
later life to the organization of the
Minnesota Terirtorial Pioneers' associa
tion, the preservation of records and
relics and history of the old days, is the
principal worker in he movement, but
will undoubtedly have the support of
citizens of all classes. Mayor P.
Jones, whose father voted at the first
municipal election in St. Anthony
has promised to co-operate with
Mr. Clark and his associates
in every way possible. Amo ng
others associated are Caleb Dorr, the
first lumberman on the upper Missis
sippi, Frank Gr. O'Brien,, who has writ
ten a book on the early days, J. E Bell
and others of the old timers.
The celebration can be made as elab
orate as the funds will permit. It can
include a parade, with bands, military
and civic societies and various cere
monies, or it can be limited to a great
meeting with addresses by well-known
speakers. Thru M. W. Savage the use
of the International auditorium has
been secured at any time it may be
needed for the celebration.
Removal of Godfrey House.
Mr. Clark is particularly interested
in the preservation of the Ard Godfrey
house, now standing at 109 Prince
street SE. It was built in the summer
of 1848 from the first lumber sawn
from the first logs cut by Caleb Dorr.
The old E P. Russell house was sup
posed to be the first house in St. An
thony, but as a matter of fact three
houses were put up at the same time
and Mr. Clai-k says that there is a
question if Mr. Godfrey did not oc
cupy his house, altho his family had
not arrived, before Mr. and Mrs. E.
P. Eussell moved into their new home.
A any rate the Godfrey house is the
oldest now standing within the limits
of Minneapolis and has a historical
value as it ga ve birth to Free Masonry
here and played other important roles.
Mr. Clark's idea is to have the God
frey house removed to the Richard
Chute square, where it would be in a
central location and in an appropriate
place, but some objection has been
raised on account of the diminutive
size of the park and the necessity for
obtaining as much space as possible.
The city owns four lots on Prince
street adioining the French Catholic
church of Notre Dame des Lourdes,
which would be an excellent place for
the old house. I has also been sug
gested that Cataract lodge, which had
its birth in the Godfrey house, might
set apart a bit of its land fronting the
square for the preservation of the
house.
The Godfrey house can be secured fo*
$600 and this is considered a low price
as the owner is getting $18 a month in
rental and has recently spent some
money in making repairs.
I might be a part of the celebration
of June 1 to have the school children
of the East Side haul the old house to
its final resting place, as was done with
the old Stevens house when it was
taken to Minnehaha park some years
ago. These plans are merely sugges
tions and before anything is done
money will be needed. It may be ac
cepted that the plans will succeed, as

Governor J. A. Johnson and members

agreed on a solution of the complaints
that grain graded at Duluth does not
receive the same grading when it ar
rives in the twin cities, and vice versa,
llereafter the Duluth members of the
board of grain appeals will alternate
with the Minneapolis members, so that
part of the time the Minneapolis men
will be serving in Duluth, and part of
the time the Duluth men will be work
ing in Minneapolis. I is hoped by this
method^ to even up matters to the satis
faction of all grain shippers.

FORMING CLOSE ALLIANCE WITH
NEW, ELEVATOR SYSTEMS.
Serious Menace to Export *Trade of
American Mills I Discussed by New
York Commercial AuthorityThis
Move Considered the Logical Result
of Tariff Exclusion.
The milling interests of Minneapolis
have learned with alarm of the pro
posed alliance between Canadian ele
vator systems and new flour mills, in
England, which aims to divert wheat
direct to England for grinding there,
depriving the American mills of a
large share of their present export
trade.
This latest development has also at
tracted the attention of the New York
Journal of Commerce, which takes the
view that this menace to American mill
ing interests is a serious one, and is
the direct result of present tariff re
strictions, which in the end will harm
the farmer as well as the miller. The
New York paper discusses- the future
effect of the movement in the follow
ing article:
There's an interesting report from Win
nipeg: of a proposed combination for build
ing elevators in the Canadian nortnwest
wherein to collect the wheat of that re
gion, in connection with the construction
of flour mills in England for grinding it
for the British market.
If such a plan is carried out it will be
on account of our duty of 25 cents a
bushel on foreign wheat, which will prove
to be a protection, not to American in
dustries, but to that of Great Britain. It
will not help farmers, either in Canada
or the United States, but will deprive
our millers of a certain amount of trade
which naturallv belongs to them, and pro
mote closer relations between Canada and
Great Britain as a result of the foolish
barrier to such relations between Canada
and the United States. Its effect cannot
be entirely counteracted by the drawback
provisions of our law, even as now lib
erally interpreted.
The natural outlet for the Canadian
northwest is into or thru this country
and to some extent it goes thru now, in
bond, contributing nothing to our indus
try or our trade. If it could be bought
without the tax at the border it would
simply come in, and could be exported
from here with our own, or be ground
with our own and exported In the form of
flour to enter into the general supply. The
price could be less easily manipulated by
speculators to the disturbance of the mar
ket, but would be the same for American
and Canadian wheat, that of both being
determined by the same Influence abroad.
The principal difference would be that
our mills would do the grinding and our
transportation and export trade would
share the benefit. With the present bar
rier maintained, the result will be either
the development of the milling industry in
Canada, probably with American capital
driven from its own field, or the export
of grain from Canada to Great Britain
to contribute to the milling industry there.

LINEN PEDDLER WORKED
SHORT CHANG E RACKET
License Inspector Longfellow has
learned that about twenty-five peddlers
from Chicago have been doing a thriving
business in the residence districts.
The men sell table linen and other
household supplies and in many instances
have gone to the corner grocer to change
a bill and failed to return. Numerous

FallWeather Bureau Is at a Loss to
Account for he Lo ng DrouthLit-
tle Snow Fell Thru the Winter
Months. Despite black clouds and predictions
of showers by the weather bureau, the
only rain producers are the sprinkling
wagon. Less than one-hundredth of
an inch fell today, and it looks as if
the showery month of April would pass
away with only one rain to its credit,
that of the second day, when .54 of an
inch fell. As it is, the spring of 1905
will pass down in weather history as
the dryest in the history of the state.
While the frost in the ground this
spring afforded *some moisture to help
the farmer, the elements have done
nothing. Now the frost is out of the
ground the fields and pastures are as
dry as a desert. At the Minikahda
links the turf is as dry as it ever was
in July or August and the balls in
falling raise clouds of dust like thir
teen-inch shells exploding. The farmer
has an extra team to his plow and only
the sandflies are happy.
"With the exception of April 2 there
has been no rain practically since Nov.
9, 1904, when there was a fall of rain
and snow. On Nov. 20 there was .03
of an inch. The next trace of moisture
in the air was Feb. 4, but no rain.
The rain reported for March amounted
to .42 of an inch. There has been prac
tically no rain since April 2. The snow
fall o"f the winter was one of the light
est ever recorded by the weather bu
reau and most of the snow evaporated
without melting.
Records show that from the middle
of March there are usually continual
showers until the end of spring, rec
ords of from .50 to 2 inches being com
mon. N explanation is given of the
present dry spell except that it is a
natural phenomenon of the freak va
riety.
