WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
It means it is the purest made.
Soaps, strong with alkali, will eat
And burn the clothes, and leave them frayed,
But Ivory Soap is clean and sweet.
It washes out the stain and dirt,
And leaves the fabric all unhurt.

MANY OWNEKS PROTEST.
Board of Public Wcrki Is Kept
Husj- Hearing: Objections.
The board of public works gave a hear
ing yesterday to property owners on the
question of paving with asphalt, Nelson
avenue, from Summit to Western ave
nue. Sixteen owners objected to as
phalt, and a number of these protested
against any repavlng. Nine of the .six
teen expressed a preference for brick, If
the street was to be paveO, and one
favored sandstone. Ten owners favored
asphalt. The estimate of t'ne city en
gineer was that asphalt pavement would
cost the owners about $5.25 per front foot.
The board took the matter under consid
eration.
The property owners on Maryland
street between Arkwright street and
Trout brook ..pretested that a,sewer was
not needed. The engineer estimated the
improvement would cost $6,100, or $2.20
per front foot. This, one of the owners
declared, was more thai the property
would bring at a sale, and as there were
no improvements along the line of the
proposed sewer it was not needed. A ma
jority of the owners also protested
against sewers being'constructed on Fair.,
field avenue, from Wabasha to Custer
street; on Sherburne avenue from Dale
to St. Albane street, and on Thomas be
twen Western avenue and Arundel street.
Commissioner Mabon Bald the last men
tioned improvement was very necessary.
The board took the three Improvements
under consideration. The confirmation of
the assessment for the paving of Eagle
street from Third to Franklin street
was postponed to Monday. Mrs. M. A.
Forepaugh objected to the assessment
made against he* property for the reason
that she had but 95 feet on the street
and the board had assessed her for 116
feet. President Pottgieser announced
that an effort would be made to lower
the assessment, and suggested that a
resolution by the council might have the
effect of paying for the street Intersec
tions out of the general, fund. The as
sessment for the improvement was $6.12
per front foot. Tfie confirmation of th«
assessment for paving East Seventh
street with brick was postponed to Mon
day.
GLOBE 'liGUEED IN IT.
DuwHOii, Charged With Murder, Was
Identified by Its Description.
Gov. L.md yesterday received official j
notification from County Attorney Rob
ert C. Saunders, of Pine county, of the
capture of "Black Jack" Dawson, who is
charged with the murder of John Peter
son at Bruno.
The arrest was brought about through
one George Perkins, who was working in
a lumber camp, and recognized Dawson
from the printed description In the
Glob cof Jan. 19. He Immediately com
municated with the authorities. Daw
son was first taken to Duluth by Sheriff
Hawley, and is now waiting his trial in
the county jail at Red Wing, where he
has been taken by Sheriff Hawley for safe
keeping.
The communication of County Attorney
Saunders to Gov. Lind is as follows, and
giver, an interesting account of the cir-.
cun:stances leading up to the capture:
The reward offered by you for John
Dawson resulted in his capture on Mon
day the 22d, at a lumber camp about
thirty miles north of Duluth. He is now
committed without bail to await the ac
tion of the grand jury. Dawson s cap
ture was brought about by the publica
tion of the reward in the daily papers.
It seems that Saturday night, the 20th,
a copy of the St. Paul Globe of the
19th reached this camp. One of the men
there working, George Perkins, of Fine
City, noticed the reward and description
of man, and recognized it as fitting Daw
son, who was working at a neighboring
camp. On Sunday Perkins walked to
Duluth and wired B. J. Hawley, sheriff
of Pine county, who immediately went
up and made the arrest. Doyle and Daw
son are both now in custody, and it only
remains to convict them of the crime
charged. I have strong evidence and
enough of it, and hope to have little dif
ficulty in securing a conviction.
Thanking you for the aid you have giv
en the local authorities, I remain, very
respectfully yours,
—Robert C. Saunders.

The anniversary of "Bobbie" Burns'
birth was celebrated last evening at Mo
zart hall by Clan Campbell No. 116, O. S.
C. The hall was filled with an audience
that applauded with true Scottish appre
ciation song and story that told of the
land of the heather and of the po;t who
sang of its charms. After an oveitu.e by
the St. Anthony Hill orchestra, Rev.
Alexander McGregor delivered a felici
tous address on "Burns." "Bobbie"
Burns," he said, "is the magnet that
draws together for one night in the year
the Scotch wherever there is a handful
of them in village, town or city." The
speaker quoted happily from Burns'
poems, told bright Scotch stories, and
ended his brief address with a g'owing
tribute to the poet and his people.
James Singer sang "The CottJge Where
Burns Was Born," and was obliged to
respond to an encore. "Ye Banks and
Braes" was sung by Miss Florence Ma
rion Pace, and for an encore she sang
another Scotch ballad. Crosby Hcpps, a
baritone, and a new acquisition to St.
Paul musical circles, sang "Mary of Ar
gyle," and his rendition procured him an
ovation. Later Mr. Hopps sang "Doug
lass Gordon," and Mr. Singer sang "Tha
Auld Scotch Sangs." The two voca ist3
were also heard in a duet, "Eicelsior."
Mrs. Jane Huntington Yale sang "My
Hame Is Where the Heather Blooms," in
her usual finished manner. Other num
bers on the programme were a reading,
"Peter Pirnie's Wooin'," by J. Clark; a

ITS QUARTER CENTURY.
Union Lodge, I. O. O. F., Celebrates
the Occasion.
The twenty-fifth anniversary of the
founding of Union Lodge No. 48, I. O. O.
F., was celebrated last night -at Odd
Fellows' hall, Fifth and Wabasha
streets. The members of the lodge al
most without exception were present to
commemorate the quarter centennial and
an interesting programme, followed by
dancing and refreshments, occupied the
evening.
An appropriate incident of the anni
versary celebration occurred in the pres
entation to George Mehl, H. J. Strause
and W. G. Jones, of three handsome
I. O. O. F. jewels. The trio are the
oldest members of the lodge and were
among the first to join when it was or
ganized in 1875. The presentation waa
made by Past Grand Master F. L. Pow
ers and was accompanied by appropriate
remarks upon the long service of the
three members.
The principal feature of the evening's
programme was an address upon the
subject, "Odd Fellowship," by Grand
Secretary A. L. Bolton.- His remarks;
were general in their nature and in
the character of a review of the benefits
of the order and of its achievements. Miss
G. Mehl and Mrs. F. Buck rendered a
pleasing duet, following which Mrs. B.
Shubeck gave a recitation. The history
of the lodge was reviewed by George
Mehl, and Past Grarvd Master Powers
made an appropriate, address. Past
Grand Master Strausa remembered the
ladies and paid tribute to them in a
complimentary speech. Mrs. C. Rock
gave a reading, and th.c Misses Davis and
Barker performed an instrumental duet.
Miss Sadie Van Praag rendered a charm
ing vocal solo, and Thomas Conroy ap
peared in a songi and dance skit. A.
Van Praag sang a topical song and Miss
Gordy gave a recitation. During the
programme the Bostonian orchestra ap
peared several times and afterwards fur
nished music for the dancing.
The guests were received by L. Mar
a-raff George Mehl, George Hoffstatter,
H. I. Levinson and H. Copilovlch. The
floor was in charge of Thomas Sullivan,
L. G. Bick, Charles Ivey and George
Ludford. On the entertainment com

SOCIAL IN SMOKE WREATHS.
Father Mathew Society Spend* an
Evening in Plea*ant Intercourse.
A smoke social was given at Cretin hall
last night by the members of the Father
Mathew Total Abstinence society. The.
members dropped in during the evening,
and, while there was no formal pro
gramme, were well entertained by a num
ber of impromptu songs and speeches.
Cigars and conversation filled in the time
between the numbers of the intermittent
programme, and a general discussion of
men and events in South Africa developed
a variety of opinions. Prof. John C.
Coulcott presided at the piano, and his
strains of "Wearing of the Green" and
Other old-time favorites awoke not a lit
tle ethusiasm. The members of the so
ciety have in course of preparation a
series of resolutions upon the war In the
Transvaal, which were discussed at the
social last evening.

Mrs P. F. Pike, living at 520 St. Peter
street, made an ineffectual attempt to end
her life at 1 o'clock this morning by
cutting herself in the left arm with a pair
of scissors. She succeeded in making only
a severe gash above the elbow when the
scissors were taken from her. A vein
was severed and the wound bled freely,
but when Mrs. Pike was taken to the
city hospital the physicians said her self
inflicted injury was not of a serious na
ture. Beyond" repeating that she made
the wound herself. Mrs. Pike could not

Approval of the Constitutional
Amendment Providing for the
Election of United States Senators
by Direct Vote of the People.
In reply to a telegram from a New
York paper, asking the sentiment of the
people of the state, as well as his own
opinion, of the agitation in favor of the
election of United States senators by pop
ular vote, Gov. Lind last evening sent the
following telegram:
"Sentiment in this state is practically
unanimous in favor of election of United
States senators by vote of the people.
Corruption, at least in its grosser forms,
was first introduced into the politics of
the state by the senatorial contests that
we have had, and I fear that we wili n«v
er be able to eradicate it so long as the
present me_thod of electing senators Is
continued. 1 favor the proposed consti

"Sunday would be a good day for the
Democrats to hold an election," said
James Donahue, chairman of the pro-
Boer mass meeting committee, Minneapo
lis, yesterday morning. "So many Re
publicans whom I have asked to pres'd.3
or speak at the meetings have announced
their Intention of being out of town Sun
day that I think the Democrats could win
an election held on that day."'
Mr. Donahue, after a long search, has
about given up hope of getting any Min
nesota Republicans to attend the meeting
in any manner which will make them re
sponsible for the proceedings. The com
mittee holds a meeting this evening at 8
o'clock. The speakers are to be Judge
Prentiss, a Silver Republican of Chicago;
Gov. Lind, Mayor James Gray and Fa
ther J. M. Cleary.

A telegram from Winona says that the
appointment of Frank L. Randall as su
perintendent of the reformatory at St.
Cloud is practically settled. Mr. Randall
and his wife returned from St. Cloud last
evening. To newspaper men who called
he refused to commit himself, beyond
to say that the board had proffered him
the position, and that the matter would
be settled at the regular meeting of the
board, which takes place Feb. 6. Supt.
Houlton, the telegram says, has tendered
his resignation, to take effect at once.
Mr. Randall will not state directly his
answer to the board, but It will be in the
affirmative seems conclusive. Mr. Ran
dall is a former law partner of Gov. Lind
at New TJlm, and his friends in Winona
have wondered that he has not been rec
ognized before.

Probably no political club ever organized
in Minneapolis started with a more sen
sational meeting than did the Hennepln
County Republican league at the wigwam
of the Fourth Ward Republican club last
evening.
Warren Wakefield, of Long Lake, the
last speaker on the programme, entirely
upset the plans of the people who had ar
ranged the meeting, and -electrified the
crowd with his remarks about Hon. Loren
Fletcher. He said:
"When I reached town this afternoon
the first man I met was Lars Rand, who
informed me that we were standing with
in 100 feet of the man who would defeat
Loren Fletcher for congress at the next
election. I almost said, "Thank God.'
This is the most populous and the richest
district*in this state, and is the poorest
represented in the house of representa
tives of any district In the country."
The crowd replied with a roar of ap
plause. Chairman Ege staggered from
his seat, and tried to stop Mr. Wakefleld.-
Mr. Wakefield said that he would and
then went on to say that he had always
voted for Loren Fletcher, and that he
would vote for him again If he were the
candidate of the Republican party, but
that he sincerely prayed that the party
would find a man fit to represent the peo
ple of Hennepin county.
When Wakefield took his seat Chair
man Ege slipped over to the reporters'
table and said:
"I would not say anything about this if
I were you. The people will charge it up
to me." A permanent organization was
formed.
