A simple and safe way to clean costly and easily-
Injured articles is to make a suds of hot water and
Ivory Soap, and allow it to cool until lukewarm. This
solution, while very effective, is perfectly harmless.
Ivory Soap contains no alkali. It will not destroy the
surface or texture of any material, however delicate.
Ivory Soap differs from other soaps. It is more
carefully made, and the materials used in its manu
facture are the purest and best.

SUNDAY SIGHT RAID.
Charles A. Fowble's Home on Burr
Street Burglarized.
The wily burglar made his fortnightly
raid last night on schedule time, the res
idence of Charles A. Fowble, 963 Burr
street, suffering the visitation. About $50
worth of jewelry was secured while the
family were absent from the house In at
tendance at church services, and when
reported to the police the case presented
the usual dearth of clues.
The burglary presented features which
stamp it as the work of professionals.
Mr. and Mrs. Fowble left the house early
in the evening and went to church, first
taking the usual precautions of locking
the front and rear doors and seeing that
the window fastenings were secure. On
their return, shortly before 10 o'clock,
they discovered that the house had been
entered and ransacked.
Entrance had been effected through the
rear door, the burglars forcing the lock
with a jimmy. Proceeding to the up
stairs- bedrooms, they had gone through
the bureau drawers in search of valua
bles. A lady's gold watch, two valuable
rings and a solid gold chain were taken.
While a systematic search had evidently
been made, nothing else was missed.
Several articles of silverware of value
and other booty which might have been
easily secured were left untouched.
The robbery was at once reported to
the Margaret street police, but no traces
were left which would serve as clues to
the identity of the parties who did the
work and detection will be difficult. Mr.
Fowble is a contractor and is well known
throughout the city.
DR. MILLER IMPROVES.
Stronger lloju-s for His Recovery
Now Entertained.
Continued improvement marked Dr.
Arthur W. Miller's condition yesterday.
Though there was no radical change, a
better temperature and healthy heart
action gave indications to his physicians
that his chances of recovery were better.
His condition remains critical, though
there is stronger ground on which to hope
for his speedy convalescence. Dr. Whit
comb stated that his progress had been
all that could be desired, and that his
general condition was favorable. A late
report from the hospital indicated marked
improvement, a change for the better
Saving set in during the evening.
ENGLISH CITIZENS PROTEST.

THE ST. PAUL GLOBS, SUNDAY, MARCH, 27, 1899.
MILL CITY LUMBERMEN
CHARGED THAT THEY ARE THE
BENEFICIARIES OF RECENT
LEGISLATIVE MEMORIAL
DULUTH FOLKS UP IN AKMS
They Protent Vigorously Against
the Cloning- of Pine lands to Sale
and Sawing I nder the Guise of a
Sanitarium and State Park
Scheme-, Which They Contend Is
but a Rase.
Duluth lumbermen are considerably ex
ercised over the passage by the legislature
recently of memorials asking that the in
terior department withhold from sale for
three years certain lands on Indian reser
vations In the northern part of the state.
Some idea of the temper of the Duluth
people may be gleaned from the following
articles, editorial utterances of the News-
Tribune In that city:
In discussing Indian reservation mat
ters the News-Tribune does not have to
rely for Its facts upon Its imagination, as
Is often the case with certain well-inten
tioned persons; our correspondents cov
ered every point of interest on the reser
vations during the recent uprising—
among these correspondents being an In
telligent man of mixed blood, well versed
In Indian nature; and it was learned that
the chief grievance of the red men was
the burning and cutting of timber. Every
Indian on the reservation feels that he
holds a proprietary interest In every
tiee; when he sees that tree burned and
cut It "makes his heart bad," as he ex
plains It; and a bad-hearted Indian is a
candidate for the goodness that is sy
nonymous with death. If he chance to
be one of the favored braves that are
placated by hush money, he is of no espe
cial consequence as a disturbing element;
but If this precaution be neglected, he is
ripe for revolt.
It is a fact that many of these Indians
are under the blighting influence of
agents of the "dead and down" timber
cutters, and they have set themselves
against the opening of the reservation;
but the cool-headed Indians and their
best friends are agreed that the best
thing for the red men i.s to have an hon
est sale of the limber and land, leaving
the Indians the undivided allotments lo
cated as they are, to which they may
withdraw or proceed to the White Earth
reservation.
One can easily understand that many
of the Indians, more especially the older
men, dislike to see their reservations rib
boned by railways and settled by the
white man; yet we are advised by reli
able report that the steadier heads look
with favor upon the idea of selling the
timber at this time for full value, so that
they may know what to depend upon,
instead of delaying until it shall be frit
tered away under the dead and down
plan.
At the time the house passed the me
morial to congress concerning a so
called state park, under a suspension of
the rules (which we regarded, rather, as
a suspension of animation), we suggest
ed that it might more properly be termed
a petition for the tying up of territory
tributary to Duluth. We were too dis
f:usted to say anything about the matter
urther than to express our wonder that
the legislators should permit such a mat
ter to be rushed through without proper
consideration, and "under a misappre
hension," as we have since been advised
by the St. Louis delegation. Examination
of the subject, especially of the causes
leading up to the passing of the memorial,
has increased our disgust and aroused
our indignation. The News-Tribune feels
that it owes a duty to Duluth in demand
ing a reconsidering of the memorial; and
it hopes that the St. Louis delegation will
second its efforts to undo what was done
under a misapprehension.
The reservations of Leech, Cass, Win
neblgoshish and White Oak Point extend
over an area fifty miles north and south,
and as many east and west. Included in
this tract is pine and hardwood timber,
spruce and poplar pulp wood; excellent
agricultural land; navigable rivers, not
ably the entire length of Leech river and
about ninety miles of the Mississippi;
fine water powers easy of development,
with great lakes for reservoir's. Some
eighty miles of railroad have been put
through these reservations during the
past year.
For more than ten years Duluth has
been trying to get these reservations
opened to settlement. Senator Nelson
(Duluth will remember him kindly),
after having a commission appointed to
obtain the consent of the Indians, final
ly secured the passage of an act under
which the reservations could be opened.
The Indians were permitted to take al
lotments in severalty, either on their
own reservations or at White Earth;
the pine timber to be estimated and sold
at not less than $3 per 1,000 feet; the
agricultural land to be opened to home
stead at $1.25 per acre.
A year ago, realizing that the rail
road meant greatly increased fire risk,
and that the best thing for whites and
Indians was to sell the timber and the
land, excepting the allotments, Commls-
MORE BOXES OF GOLD.
Also 350 Greenbacks.
To secure some desired information di
rect from the people, It is proposed to
send 5 little boxes," each containing $10.00
gold, 20 boxes, each containing $5.00 gold
and 350 envelopes, each containing a $1.00
bill, to persons who write the most in
teresting and truthful descriptions of
their experience on the following topics.
1. How have you been affected by Cof
fee drinking?
2. Do you know anyone who has been
driven away from Postum because it
came to the table weak and character
less at the first trial?
X Did you set such a person right re
garding the easy way to make Postum
clear, black and with a crisp, rich taste?
4. Have you ever found a better way
to make it, than to use 4 heaping tea
spoonfuls to the pint of water, let stand
on stove until real boiling begins, then
note the clock and allow it to continue
easy boiling full 15 minutes from that
time stirring down occasionally? •
5. Give names and account of those you
know to have been cured or helped In
health by the dismissal of coffee and the
daily use of Postum Food Coffee in its
place?
6. Write names and addresses of 20
friends whom you believe would be ben
efited by leaving off coffee. (Your name
will not be divulged to them.)
Address your letter to the Postum
Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich., writ-
Ing your own name and address clearly.
Decision will be made on May Ist next,
by three judges not members of the Pos
tum Co., and one of the $10.00 boxes of
gold sent to each of the 5 best writers,
one of the $5.00 boxes of gold sent to each
of the 20 next best and one of the $1.00
bills sent to each of the 350 next best
•writers.
These 375 persons will earn money
prizes and each and every person who
fails to win a money prize, but whose let
ter contains 20 true names and addresses
of persons who would be benefited by
leaving off coffee, will receive 25 cents'
worth of Postum Food Coffee free.
Almost everyone Interested in pure food
and drink is willing to have their name
and letter appear in the papers, for such
help as it may offer to the human race.
A request to omit name will be respected.
Every friend of Postum is urged to
write and each letter will be held In high
esteem by the company, as an evidence
of such friendship, while the little boxes
of gold and envelopes of money will
reach many modest writers whose plain
and sensible letters contain the facts de
sired, although the sender may have but
small faith in winning at the time of
writing.
Talk this subject over with your friends
and see how many among you can win
prizes. It 1b a good, honest competition
and In the best kind of a cause. Cut this
statement out for it will not appear
again.
sioner Hermann began estimating the
pine preparatory to Its sale. About half
the reservations have been estimated, at
a cost of $40,000 or $50,000, and it has been
announced that the iirst sale and opening
would be made May 10. Many peopla
hnve been awaiting this opening, prepar
ed to settle and erect homes; others have
settled on the right of way at the sta
"°, n » along the railroad, expecting to
build homes In villages and towns; the
reservations have promised to becomo
settlements in sh*jrt order.
There is a ruling: of the department,
under which Indians are allowed to cut
dead and down'? pine tfmber, paying 50
cents per thouß&ttd for stumpage; and
for fifteen years It is no great secret that
certain Minneapolis: lumberman, through
the medium of Indians, half-breeds and
reservation white «nen, have each summer
caused timber to^.be burned in advance,
cutting it the following winter, and pay
ing for stumpage 50 cents, whilst their
competitors must pay from $2 to $5 for
like stumpage. This timber has been
floated down the Mississippi river to Min
neapolis, and there manufactured and
sold at a large profit. Much green timber
has been cut; but in recent years Com
missioner Hermann has been n:ore strict
than his predecessors. The timber flres,
set by the hands "of greed, have destroy
ed more than two-thirds of the timber on
the reservations, and have carried de
struction outside of It. And the "dead
and down" business is a constant menace
to the entire forest portion of. the new
part of the state. This it was that caus
ed the battle of Sugar Point, which re
sulted in the sacrifice of so many gallant
men.
The cutting of dead and down timber
has been exceedingly profitable to the
Minneapolis parties. For a time two con
cerns had It all; but recently it has been
divided, and the operators are naturally
reluctant to eive it ud. They have dis
patched agents to Washington to labor
with Commissioner Hermann; but the
commissioner has frequently affirmed
that, despite all opposition, he would do
his duty. Even thing else falling, and
May 10 drawing on, the Minneapolis folks
played their last card: and Gen. Wilson,
in the senate, and Mr. Roberts, in the
house (both Minneapolis attorneys rep
resenting lumbermen), Introduced a
memorial, saying it was unimportant, and
had it passed under a suspension of the
rules. Innocent as it may have been
when it passed, it turned up in Wash
ington as an emphatic protest against
opening any of the reservations, and
proposing (arrant nonsense!) to make of
the act a "health resort! "
It is estimated that it would cost per
haps 47,000,000 to buy the timber of the
Indians, and, say, another million to buy
the agricultural land; one can see, then,
what a prospect we have for a "health
resort."
Congressman Morris assures the Duluth
Jobbers" union that, determined as Com
missioner Hermann was to open the
reservations, he is disappointed and per
plexed by the memorial; and while he
cannot understand (nor can we) why the
state should so put itself on record, he
feels that he cannot stand in opposition
to the unanimous protest of the legis
lature.

PROUD OF THE BANNER
MIMVESOTA BUTTER MAKERS ARE
PROUD OF THEIR SIOUX •
FALLS TROPHY
EXHIBITED AT STATE HOUSE
It Now Occuple* a Conspicuous
Place In th e Office of Dairy- Oom
nilsaioner Bowler Gossip otf the
Week Among the Dairies mid
Creameries of the North Star
State.
The banner won by the Minnesota but
termakers at the National Buttermak
ers' convention, at Sioux Falls, is now
a part of the office decorations in Maj.
Bowler's office at the capitol. The dairy
men of the state have seen nt to place
the banner in Maj. Bowler's keeping,
and in the future it will have a promi
nent place in his office, except possibly
when it accompanies the dairymen to a
convention. It is a very handsome af
fair, made up of heavy velvet and Bilk
corded with gold braid about the edges.
The words "National Buttermakers'
Association" and "Sioux Falls Conven
tion", are embroidered in heavy yellow
letters at the top and bottom, and the
center piece represents a model country
creamery, and is done in oils.
Maj. Bowler is quite as proud of the
banner as the dairymen of the state are,
and there is just cause for all to be proud
when it is known that it was won by
.Minnesota in competition with every
butter-producing state in the country.
• * *
During the past few days a number of
dairy inspectors have attended meetings
in different parts of the state. Tomor
row a meeting of the Delano Creamery
association is to be held, and among the
speakers will be Assistant Dairy Com
missioner White and Prof. Haecker. It
is the intention of Commissioner White
to personally attend as many of the
dairymen's meetings as he can.
• » ♦
Dairymen are making an effort before
the Illinois legislature to secure the adop
tion of a bill creating a pure food com
missioner, charged among other duties
with the enforcement of the anti-color
law. This law, which has now been
adopted by thirty-one states, provides
that oleo shall not be colored in imitation
of butter, but may be sold in its natural
color. It is a reasonable, sensible, logical
provision for the protection of the con
sumer and producer of real butter, and
if enforced would meet the conditions ad
mirably. Unfortunately this law is openly
defied by the manufacturers of butterine,
and will likely remain a dead letter unless
a dairy and pure food commissioner Is
provided for by the legislature who will
set in motion the machinery for its en
forcement.—Breeders' Gazette.
• • •
Buttermaker Charles Swanson, who has
been connected with the Grove City
creamery, has severed his connection with
that Institution and will this week take
charge of the creamery at Clara City. He
is somewhat skeptical as to the success
of the creamery there, as the stockhold
ers have decided to skim their milk at
home and deliver, nothing but cream to
the creamery, thus doing away with the
operation of the separators. The plan
may work, but it is feared that the
product from the cream thus gathered
may not take rank with that of the other
creameries.
• * •
At a recent meeting of the Farmers'
institute in Pine county, Dairyman Fla
ten gave an interesting talk on the feed
ing question. He said in part: "Equal
gains are made by calves on ten pounds
of skim milk plus some flaxseed meal
and eight pounds of whole milk. The flax
seed, of course, Is much cheaper than
butter fat. A calf dropped in the fall
goes onto grass off milk and gets no set
back. The cow herself gets a new start
on grass just as her flow diminishes, so
can be kept milking longer. If we allow
milk to cool before feeding the calf, this
is unnatural and disarranges Its diges
tion. The first milk is loosening and
needed by the calf, and cannot be re
placed by milk from another, If only
slightly fresh cow. Do not feed over a
quart or a quart and a half at a time to
a young calf." He described two calves
fed at the station very regularly, the
milk at proper temperature, etc. They
sometimes gained two pounds a day, and
yet, when weighing over 400 pounds, a
half-pailful each was the most milk he
ever fed them at one time. Keep the
dairy calf thrifty but not fat, like the
beef one. Begin with a teaspoonful only
of flaxseed meal, and gradually increase
amount, according to bowels.

Among the creameries of the state none
are meeting with greater success than
the farmers' creamery at Elgin, of which
Charles Necker is president. The asso
ciation has just received a consignment
of 2,500 tubs, and are Increasing their
business every week. Farmers who prom
ised to furnish six to nine cows are doub
ling the number, while others who hesi
tated to go into the scheme when first
proposed are now falling in line. They
receive 15,000 pounds of milk every other
day at the present time, which he believes
will be doubled this summer. The cream
ery is now paying to the farmers eigh
teen and one-half cents for their cream,
besides paying into the sinking fund one
and one-fourth cents, making the actual
price paid for cream nineteen and three
fourths cents. It is believed that the
creamery will pay for itself in two years
and a half through the sinking fund. Last
year the association received one-half
cent premium on every pound of butter
sold.

"Work Progressing; In the Ruins of
the Windsor Hotel.
NEW YORK, March 26.— The work In
the ruins of the Windsor hotel was con
tinued with a full force of men today
and the piles of debris were heaped up
faster than the carts could take them
away. It is thought now that the founda
tions and cellars will be cleaned out by
the end of this week.
The workmen name upon a human foot
in a shoe near the Forty-seventh street
and Fifth avenue corner of the ruins this
morning. The shoe was badly charred
and shriveled, and It could not be told
whether the foot was that of a woman
or a child.
A second fragment of a human foot
was found late this afternoon near the
Fifth avenue entrance to the hotel. There
was very little of It, only the great toe
and some tendons being left. Near the
place workmen found a pair of slippers.
The ghastly relics were put in a box and
sent -to the morgue.

SAMPSON AT SANTIAGO.
Gen. Wood Vlsllcil by a Part of the
Squadron.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, March 26.— The
United States cruiser New York and the
gunboats Vicksburg and Annapolis ar
rived here this afternoon. Rear Admiral
Sampson, accompanied by Capt. F. E.
Chadwick, of the cruiser, called upon
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, the military
governor, a salute being fired in honor
of the admiral. This afternoon Gen.
Wood returned the visit. There were fur
ther complimentary salutes and the war
ships left this evening for Kingston, Ja
maica. Capt. "Vion, the new chief of
gendarmerie, is showing much more
ersergythan was displayed by his prede
cessor, Col. Francisco Valllent. Indeed,
the recent captures are due to his zeal,
and he believes that little, if any further
trouble will arise from brigands for a
time at least.
Gen. Wood's March estimates have been
flnafly approved by the Havana author
