NEW LETTER TO HEATWOLE
They luMlmt TUa.t, It Oleo SluiU Not
He Colored, Then Artificial Col
orlns M*KfM in Butter Must
B« Placed Under the Ban.
W. M. Campbell's letter to Congress
man Heatwole, which appeared in the
'Globe a week ago, waa considered by
the stockmen generally as a clean and
concise statement of the reasons why tlw
Qrout bill, which la now before congress,
and which proposes a 10-cent tax on col
ored oleomargarine, should be killed.
Cattlemen were of the opinion that tha
letter would brins out a statement from
the dairying interests, but they are in
clined to think that Assistant Dairy Comr
roisstoDer White evaded some of the
more serious points in his interview
which appeared in a recent issue of the
Globe.
This interview has called out another
letter from Air. Campbell to Congressman
Heatwole, which is a-s follows:
Following my letter of recent date, there
appeared In the daily papers of this city
an interview with Assistant Dairy Com
missioner White, of this state. Mr.
White's particular brunch of work, in
connection with the commission, is with
the dairy, or 1 might more accurately say,
the creamery Interests. 1 thus discriml
naui between the dairy and the creamery
Interests because they are distinct, as so
large a percentage of the dairy butter
goes, us I said in my former letter, from
t lie farms to the village stores. Mr.
White is reputed to be a good creamery
man, as well as an honest and capable,
incorruptible official, but his sole point of
view is the creamery, and so intense is
his interest In that industry that ha is
insensible to the injury done to others,
persons or Industries, by measures de
signed solely for the benefit of his par
ticular class.
it La the official position of Mr. White
that mukes his attempted defense of the
Legislation sought by the creamery inter
uats worthy of reply, tor it must be as
sumed that the officials of his department
have thoroughly considered the argu
ments made in my letter to you, and that
this is the best answer they can make.
You will observe, that they ignore en
tirely the effect of the Grout bill upon
the market vaiuc of all beef cattle; and
they pass by in pained silence my ex
posure of the real rivals of creamery but
ter, their own dirty, filthy creameries.
Nor do they attempt to revive the old
charges against oleomargarine in which
It was dep-icted as the scouringa of the
abattoirs, reeking with tilth and pregnant
with disease. That bugaboo is played
out, and the- consuming public has come
to know that no butter in any creamery,
from milk from the best of dairies, is
made under conditions injuring greater
cleanliness than are those surrounding
the making of oleomargarine from the
abattoir to the market, a fact to which
ih 1. While gives unconscious coniirmation
in his statement that "the poor man does
not know the difference" between colored
oleo and colored butter. Mr. White him
self is said to prefer oleo to the average
dairy butter, or even to creamery butter
unless he knows who the buttermaker is.
Neither does Mr. White answer the
charge that creamery men use coloring
matter for fully eight months of the
year to give their butter the rich June
color, usilng the same matter used by
the makers of oleomargarine for the same
purpose. If, as he says, oleomargarine
uncolored is just as good a foool product
u_s is the colored, why is not unc-olored
buiter? If It is a deception to color
oleomargarine to resemble June butter,
why is it not equally a fraud to color
December butter to the midsummer
shade? Has not the "p>K>r man," who
cannot afford creamery butter, just as
gebd h. right to have his oleo colored as
has the consumer of creamery butter to
hayd his given artificially a rich tinge?
Why discriminate then between two
equally healthful foods; why not amend
the Grout bill to tax colored butter as
Well, if the sole purpose is to prevent
def'iiUon?
I know for a fact that makers of oleo
would be glad to ".-ell it for what it is,
as Mr. White says, :C they were permit
ted. But tlie law of Minnesota and some
other states absolutely prohibits its sale,
and. as there is a constant demand for it,
the law obliges sal^ to be surreptitiously
made, l^et the states take off their ban,
merely requiring each package to be la
beled for what it is, and It will bo sold
as openly here as it is in England, and
be bought and eaten only by those who
yvj'.'.t it. Not only is the sale Drobiblted,
but the making of it also. Could it be
made here,- the Swii't company, at this
place, would install an oleo plant, giving
employment to upwards of 200 men, in
stead of sending, as they now do, the
fata to Chicago to be made there into
oleo and shipped back under the pro
tection of the interstate commerce act. Is
it not enough that class interests can in
voke the power of this state to prevent
a useful product being sold and a large
industry being established In it. without
congress being coerced by the same nar
row interests to tax the industry every
where out of existence.
I may add that your constituents in
this district, regardless of party, saw I
with satisfaction and hearty approval
your action on the proposition to tax our i
fellow citizens in Puerto Rico on imports
of their products for the benefit of cer
tain domestic industries, with whose
products the imports might compete, and
they takn it as an indication that you
will apply the same principle that mo
tived your vote in that case to any pro
posal to tax out of existence a domestic
Industry at the command of a class which
imagines, mistakenly, that the products
proposed for taxation are Its competitors.
Yours very respectively,
_— W. M. Campbell.
WHEELS SPARED HIM.
Tliree-Y oar-Old Boy Wandered for
an Hour in ItiiHrnnd Yards,
With puffing locomotives and rapidly
moving cars all about him, three-year
old Frank Aver, living with his parents
at 702 Mlnnehaha street, walked nearly
a mile through the East St. Paul railroad
yards Saturday afternoon and was lost
for some hours. His parents learned that
the little fellow had been seen in the
yards, and feared every moment
throughout the search instituted to come
upon the baby form crushed and cold
between the tracks. But, entirely uncon
scious of his danger, the boy wended
through the network of rails, between
long trains of cars, without being harm- '
ed, and at last was seen near De Soto
street and rescued from danger. The
boy was taken to a residence at 765 De
Soto street, where he was kindly cared
for until his parents found him, shortly
affce* 7 o"clock Saturday evening.
TWO SMALL SPOONS
Made the Foundation of the Arrest
of Mr. and ftlrtt. Perry.
George Perry- and Mrs. Kate Perry
were arrested Saturday evening, on the
charge of stealing two small spoons from
Melzger's saloon, 479 East Seventh street.
It is alleged that the couple visited tht
saloon and appropriated the spoons when
leaving. The proprietor called Officer
Neuman, who placed Mr. and Mrs. Perry
under ariest. Later Officer Neuman
found the spoons outside of the saloon.
Mr. and Mrs. Perry were released on
$25 bail each, pending a hearing in the
municipal court today. They deny the
charge against them.

Speakm of the Oiyrionor,

Mr. C. S. Wilson. St. Paul. Minn.:
My Dear Sir: I purchased an Oxydonor
of you in November last, and I wish to
thank you for selling me this little "Doo
tor." I have not taken a single drop of
medicine in over three months, and
have gained 15 pounds In weight, and
never felt better in my life than I do at
the present time. I was a sick man when
I bought the Oxydonor, having suffered
for a long time with stomach and liver
troubles. One hundred dollars would not
take this little treasure away from me;
it is a jewel. It will do even more than
you claim for It.
Yours very truly,

An enthusiastic Democratic precinct
committee meeting of the Ninth ward
city and county organization was held
yesterday afternoon at Labor hall, Park
avenue, near Sycamore street. In ad
dition to nearly all of the precinct com
mltteemen a large number of voters were
present. The meeting was thrown open
to all In attendance, and ways and means
to insure Democratic success In the ap
proaching municipal election were discus
sed. No question of mayoralty candidates
arose, but the meeting, with one accord,
indorsed Aid. E. L. Murphy for another
term in the council. Aid. Murphy was
Indorsed at a previous meeting of tha
committee, and the action yesterday, in
which so many of the voters of the ward
participated, was in the nature of a rati
fication of the committee's action. Aid.
Murphy made a short address outlining
the work necessary in the campaign and
thanking his constituents for their ex
pression of confidence and good will. He
prophesied a decisive Democratic vic
tory, and urged the voters to work as a
unit for the election of the entire ticket.
Speeches were also made by Chairman
Wagner, Frank Malone and Matt Tschida.

Former County, Auditor J. H. Burns has
declared himself a, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for alderman in
the Fourth ward.
Until Reeves opens his headquarters at
the Merchants', and Chester R. Smith
establishes a base of operations, the
Schlffmann kopje at the Windsor is the
center of Republican political activity. As
the Schtffmann managers figure out the
situation, Smith will elect delegates in
possibly four precincts of his own ward,
the Eighth, and AfeeVes can depend on
little support outside of the Fifth ward,
and that will be contested. Dar Reese
says: "It Is Schiffmann against the field,
and T don't ace how they are going to
beat Fred."
On the other band bid Reeves is still
confident, and declares that his chances
are brighter than ever. He has been
laid up with a bad cold, but I 3 out and

will make things hum, and his managers,
Charles R. Parker and Steve Ploha, have
not relaxed their efforts in his behalf.
There will be a meeting of the Fourth

ization this evening at 8 o'clock at Pfelf

All the Democrats of the Fourth ward
are invited to attend, as important bus

Martin E. Rowan, of 619 Conway street,
is being conspicuously mentioned in his
ward as a Democratic nominee for con»

Since the local police have seen Bahe,

The Now Brighton Reporter says:
The annual town and village elections
occur next Tuesday, and In Mounds
View and New Brighton there will be
but one regular ticket In each place,
though there will be some split tickets
as usual. In the village there will be
somewhat of a change in tho personnel
of the next council, if the ticket agreed
on is elected, as it probably will be. W,
W. Rich heads the ticket for president
of the council, which he has done in years
past, only to fail, but no one seems
to care for the honor this year, and as
the town hall is now completed there
is really not much kicentive for a man
to aspire for this hpior. But then there
are always a few perquisites and pulls
even to the presidency of a little village
council, and it is considered a stepping
stone to the legislature, in some cases.
Mr. Rich always thought so, but alas,
stones crumble and fall sometimes, and
constant stepping on them wears them
out. There is no packing house at New
Brighton now to need the fostering care
of a legislature, nor is it necessary to
pull the village council's leg for money
to secure such fostering care, so that
arguments in this line are a dead issue.
The trustees in the next council, who
will sit in the glare of acetylene gas, will
resemble pretty much the old board,
with the exception that Frank Gregson
or P. M. Searles. bo-Ui candidate?, will
probably sit in Mr. Tester's place.
For marshal^ Cla/ence Thompson will
not seek the sjer another term, it is said,
and Walter Monty Is o-ne of the as
pirants for tho plaoa, with John P. Noel
and others looking Ipv the same position.
James TreatnWill $jp slated for recorder,
and will no doubt lie elected. Jim has
only served one term at it, and deserves

the union depot yesterday morning, had
Interpreted the wit of the "con" men
who fleeced him ho might have saved
his money Instead of turning it over to
a strang-er for a check made payable to
"U. It. Dunn." But the check waa for
$750 and Mr. Kroulik only advanced v
comparatively small sum on it, so he fig
ured he was making a sufe investment.
He realizes now that he would have no
trouble in having himself identified as
"you are done" if there was any place
to present the check where it might be
realized on. As it is the police hay?
the worthless check and are endeavoring
to locate the swindlers, while Mr. Krou^
Ilk has departed for Willow River to
visit a sick relative.
The "con" men met Mr. Kroulik in the
depot at Minneapolis. One of them en
gaged him in conversation and learned
that he was going to Willow River. Of
course the swindler was going to Wil
low River also, and suggested to Mr.
Kroulik that they travel together. This
was agreeable and the pair started for
this city, where the "con" man explained
he could purchase tickets cheaper. Mr
Kroulik and his friend visited the union
depot where the countryman purchased
a ticket. Then they started out to look
about town. As they left the depot the
second confidence operator took a hand
in the game, by rushing up and whisper
ing to the first swindler. The latter ap
poared much disconcerted, finally ex
plaining to Kroulik that he had a con
signment of freight ai the depot ready
for shipment, but that the freight agent
demanded $30 charges before the good*
would be put aboard the cars. The con
fidence man then flashed the check, an
nouncing that it was Sunday and that he
could not get it cashed. He appealed to
Mr. Kroulik and the countryman readily
gave up all of the money he had, J2!«,
taking the ehesk as security. The check
was drawn for $750 on the First National
Bank of St. Paul, made payable to U
K. Dunn and indorsed by XV. C. Moore.
Shortly after the transaction the first
"con" man laughed heartily and re
marked to Mr. Kroulik that It was too
bad to have asked him for money, as, If
he had only thought, he had sent his
satchel over to the depot in this city and
had $60<) In gold inside of the grip
Telling Mr. Kroulik to wait for him on
the corner the swindler departed with
tho promise that he would get the gold
and redeem the check. Mr. KrouUk
stood on the corner nearly two hours and
then confided in a policeman. The caso
was reported to headquarters, when
Chief of Detectives Mclntire detailed
half of his force to look for the "con"
men.

WHAT DO THE CHILDREN DRINK?
Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you
tried the new food drink called GRAIN-O?
It is delicious and nourishing and takes
the place of coffee. The more Graln-0
you give the children the more health you
distribute through their systems. Graln-O
is made of pure grains, and when prop
erly prepared tastes like the choice grades
of coffee but costs about M as much. All
grocers sell it. 15c and 25c
TO SAVE YOING GIRLS
THRfiMC NOTABLE ADDKI&S^S BY
MRS. MARY L.. CONKLIIV, OF
BROOKLYN, \. Y.
SPOKE TO MEN AT Y. M. C. A.
Spi-aker Earnestly Deplored Condi
tions Arising Front Poorly Paid
* Libido* Among the Number
of Working Girl*. •
Mrs. Mabel L. Conklln, of Brooklyn,
began thar first of her lectures on "So
cial Purity" yesterday, occupying differ
ent platforms morning, afternoon and
evening. Her first address was at Ham
line college at 10:30 a. m., and at the
Y. M. C. A. rooms In the afternoon she
spoke before a very large audience of
men upon "The New Chivalry." At the
People's church in the evening she took
for her subject "That Boy of Yours."
Mrs. Conkiln'a most notable address
waa at the Y. M. C. A. In the afternoon,
delivered exclusively before men. In
opening she took exception to an article
which appeared In a morning paper de
scribing her In a somewhat ridiculous
fashion. She said, however, that she had
always regarded newspaper reporters aa
her friends; In fact, she had never had
occasion to esteem them otherwise. Any
criticism that might have been made of
her or the work in which she was en
gaged was, she believed, at least sin
cerely pointed.
Mrs. Conklln is a decided blonde, good
looking, and, in her discussion from tho
platform, is devoid to a very large de
gree of mannerism, Impressing the audi
tor with her sincerity.
She presented her subject in a very
forcible manner, leaving out any un
necessary details, but striking right at
the causes and effects of Immorality,
and, speaking as she does, from an ex
perience consisting of years of hospital
service in New York city, her statements
could be accepted, and, undoubtedly, did
carry great weight with all who heard
her.
The White Cross society, the organiza
tion which she represents, she said, rec
ognized no sex in virtue. However, in her
address, she would speak from woman's
point of view. She regarded chivalry as
an endowment given men for the express
purpose of enabling them to assist those
of the opposite sex whose weakness only
magnified the importance of the opposite
attribute in man. She deplored the con
ditions arising from poorly paid labor
among women and characterized the man
who would take advantage of the poor girl
struggling for a living as even despi
cable in the eyes of the devil. She gave
several very touching narratives of ex
periences In the hospital work, given up
entirely to reclaiming unfortunate and
fallen women. Young girls who had,
through the duplicity of men, left their
homes for lives of shame counted thou
sands every year. Statistics gave 60,000
as the number that annually went down
to lives of shame and were eventually
lost in the abyss of immorality.
The stability of the nation depended
upon its mothers, and it was to the
chivalry of the young men that all must
look for a perpetuation of a nation of
homes. Mrs. Conklln stated that a man
was not above the communication of his
mc-uth. She urged that all young men
shun evil companions and refuse to be
come parties to filthy stories.

OUTLOOK FOR LUMBER
WILLIAM CBRILJN THIXKS PRICKS
MAY DROP A BIT.
William O'Brien, of Stillwater, largely
interested in the lumbering Industry of
Northern Minnesota, returned yesterday
from a trip of inspection of his camps
on the Cloquet river, in the Duluih dis
trict. Mr. O'Brien ia very well known
In the Northwest, and Is authority on all
subjects of interest to the lumberman.
"We have but little complaint to make
of the weather north of Duluth," said
Mr. O'Brien, "and in a short time most
of the camps will finish up the season's
work. I left yesterday, and there had
scarcely been a thaw, with prospects of
a continuation of the weather for a few
days at least. South of Duluth, however,
it is different. The nights are cold, and
considerable progress has been made
by working night crews. I/Ogs can be
hauled on roads frozen after sundown,
and if we have a week or two of freezing
weather all the camps south of Duluth
will be able to complete the season in
good shape. Wo have done much belter
than I expected we would.
"Lumbering has been very expensive
this season, owing to the difficulty in get
ting men to slay in the woods. As a
rule, one crew will finish out a season,
but I think it is no exaggeration to say
that lumbermen have token throe times
as many mo.n to the woods as heretofore.
The McCarthy law, passed by the lust
legislature, which allows the men to de
mand pay and quit, Is very bad in its
operation, both for the employer and the
men. It seriously interferes with the
work, and the men. as soon as they have
spent the money paid them, are back
again for work. I think the law is en
tirely unnecessary, and, further than
that, a menace to the loggers. I know
there never was a time when a married
man In one of my camps could not RPt
his money to send home, and I think that
is true of all who employ men in the
woods. All the lumbermen have expe
rienced the same trouble this ynar in
the matter of labor, and the situation 's
becoming a serious one.
"I believe there will be no advance In
the price of manufactured lumber, if, in
deed, the market holds as it is. If we
could expect a general renewal of activ
ity in building all over the country this
could be reasonably expected. We hear
of labor troubles all over the country,
and there is but little question that this,
together with the somewhat unsettled
condition of the market, will retard
building operations."

ST. PAUL RESPONDS TO GAEL
But SlaaffhterLnar Plant Wa« I'rau<
ttcally Destroyed Before Con

Lou* .Being $17,0 00.
Three fires in the packing house district
of South St. Paul within twenty-four
liuurs gave that important manufacturing
suburb a serious scare yesterday. Th«
fire of Saturday afternoon in the SwtfJ
box factory was comparatively small,
but the slaughtering plant of the Dakota
Packing company, at South St. Paul, wag
completely guued by fire yesterday after
noon, and only the fire wall saved the
rest of the plant. The damage was esti
mated last night at about 117,000, fully
covered by insurance.
The fire was first discovered by a
watchman about 4 o'clock, and had prob
ably been burning for some time pre
vious, because it had gained considerable
headway. The South St. Paul vo:unt*e»
department, Swift & Co.'s engine ani
the stock yards' equipment were called
out and had gotten the fire under con
trol by 6 o'clock, before the arrival of
an engine from the St. Paul department,
which had been telephoned for. The vol
unteer firemen did excellent work in con
fining the fire to the slaughtering end of
the plant and preventing its spread be»
yond the fire wall.
The cause of the blaze is supposed tc
have been spontaneous combustion, aa
the building, which was a thr&e-story
brick structure, had been used formerly
as a fertilizer factory. The fertilizer ma
chinery and the machinery and tanka
used in slaughtering were a, total loss,
but the engine and boilers escaped, al
though the building was gutted.
The Swift plant was again visited by
flre early last evening, a blaze in th«
fertilizing plant, attributed to spontane
ous combustion, causing damage to the
extent of about 1700.

CURE FOB INTEMPERANCE.
Socialist OtalOU Tlls* Prohibition.
Ist.* Should Join 111* l'urtj.
Section St. Paul, Socialist Labor party,
at Its meeting yesterday afternoon at
Assembly hall, was addressed by Mr.
George F. Wells, editor of the local tem
perance paper, Backbone. III.s subject
was "Objections to Prohibition."
Among the principal and leading ob
jections combatted were the alleged need
of the revenue derived from saloons, th«
theory that prohibition, cannot be en
forced and that popular approval could
never be gained for sumptuary laws.
Denying the first objection, Mr. Wells
said that', while the revenue was a tax,
it was one that returned less to the state
or municipality than any other, and thai
paid the largest commissions to dealers
and manufacturers. For every dollar
turned into the government or municipal
treasury hundreds of dollars were swept
from the pockets of the people into th«
tills of the rumsellers. In the town of
Spring Valley the municipal government
had been changed from a dry to a wet
system. Yet the mayor himself had been
converted to prohibition on account of
having lost $7,000 in trade in one year
that had been deflected Into the tills of
the liquor sellers.
In the town of Annandale three saloons
were recently licensed, returning a reve
nue of $1,500. In speaking wit* a banker
in that community, Mr. Wells had been
told that many citizens were plaased with
the results and appreciated the 51.500,
which was applied to school an 4 street
imoroverraents. Then the banker Jiad
shown him a list of a dozen m«i. ac
counts against whom had b^en sent to the
bank for collection.
"These men," said the banker, "u^lcr
no license conditions would have been
amply a bio to pay the accounts. Now I
consider them bad debts. This one is a
saloon rounder; this one spends all his
spare money in barrooms; this One ha*
became a confirmed bum, and so on down
the list."
"No one," continued Mr. Wells, "ever
saw a saloonkeeper, a distiller, a whole
saler or a brewer who was In fayor >t
prohibition. They Joined hands to tight
it at every turn. Yet commercial travel
ers will come In from their trips through
prohibition states and nil people that
more liquor is sold under prohibition than
without it. Now if this were true would
not the wholesaler, the distiller and the
brewer be ready to welcome prohibition?
I? not their object to sell liquor? .\wl
the more they sell will they not make tli*
more money?"
Mr. W. A. Hammond, of Minneapolis,
was called upon to reply to Mr. Wells.
He said that while ottering no palliation
for intemperance, socialists did not b?
liove In prohibition as a remedy for the
evil. So long as there was profit In its
sale so long would the business flourish
and be protected by lawmakers. It was
the aim of socialism to do .lw^-y wit*
capitalism. When that had eventuated
there would bo no profit tn the sale of
liquor; it would be handled by the stab:.
disposed of by the state and when ft
man appeared to whom no liquor should
be given the stato would refuse to glv«
it to him. Along with many other evils
Intemperance was one th*u socialists
would control. Tho place for the genuine
prohibitionist was In the Socialist party
During the past twenty-five years protu
billon had made no numerical progress.
While there might at present bo more in
numbers tliera were not, he thought, .as
great a per cent of the population prohl
| bitionists as there were twenty years
ago. In tho.se states where it had b. on
in force they had been states in which
there were fow large cities. Prohibition
would be impossible in St. Paul. Min
neapolis, Chicago. New York or Boston
In theory and principle it was all right;
in practice Impracticable under existing
conditions of capitalism.
