a?iTss shoes for 53.50.
I make and sell more men's $3.50 shoes than any other two manufacturers
in the world. The real worth of my $3.50 shoes compared with other
makes is $5.00. My large business permits me to buy the high grade
leathers used in $5.00 shoes, at a less price than small manufacturers.
This combined with my system of selling at one profit through my own
stores, enables me to place my $3.50 shoes on the feet of thousands of
men, who have been paying $5.00 for theitshoes, believing they could
not get a first class shoe for $3.50. I have convinced them that the
style, fit and wear of my $3.50 shoes is just as good as the $5.00 shoes;
placed side by side it is impossible to see any difference. Try a pair.

sands of dollars' worth of property and
the death of five firemen, are at liberty.
Without any hesitation County Attor
ney Kane yesterday asked that a nolle
of the charge be entered, and the men
who had been called for trial befoie
Judge Lewis were turned loose. The
quartette seemed pleased with the out
come and quickly made themselves
scarce.
While disliking to let the crowd go,
Attorney Kane and the police were com
pelled to admit that the evidence con
necting the men with the Midway hor
ror, or even the firing of the Hinmann
slaughter house, on which the indictment
was based, was too slim to even demand
a trial, and they were compelled to re
luctantly acquiese In the request of the
attorney for the defendants that they be
given their liberty. During all the time
that the men were in jail the police and
the Pinkertons have been at work on the
case, the latter agency being employed
by the McCormick Harvesting Machine.-y
company. It was shown conclusively
that both Harold and Seagrid Ols:;n
were In another part of the country
when the fire occurred, Harold being in
lowa and Seagrid In Chicago.
Olsons arrest, it will be remembered,
was brought about by the confession of
a prisoner at the Stillwater penitentiary,
who recounted to the police a story told
him by Olson while the two were confined
in the county jail at Minneapolis await
ing trial, Howard for the robbing of the
Hinmann slaughter" house at Midway and
Olson for the robbery of a tailor shop.
According to Howard, who seemed to.
feel the pangs of remorse because of
the fate of the firemen, he concocted a
scheme with Olson by which the latter in
return for Howard relieving him of the
charge of robbing the tailor shop, was
to take revenge on Hinmann, his prose
cutor, by setting fire to the slaughter
house at Midway. Olson also, it was
claimed, had a grievance and he satis
fied it by setting fire to the McCormick
plants, both in St. Paul and Chicago,
the Chicago job being done by his pals.
Howard, it was known, went to Still
water for both jobs, the robbery of the
tailor shop being fastened on him by his
own confession and the fact that he was
wearing at the time of the trial one of
the coats taken from the shop. Olson
went free. The story was so plausible,
and being substantiated by others at
Stillwater who were in the Minneapolis
jail at the t'me, that the arrest of a.l
four was made at the instance of the St.
Paul police.
From the evidence obtained by tfie au
thorities since the men were taken into
custody, Seagrid and his pals were guilty
of the blackest of treachery, and it was
this fact that caused Howard and his
friends to concoct the story that came
near placing the necks of the four in
jeopardy. While rather mixed, it appears
that Olson, who was somewhat fearful
of the habitual criminal act,, his last ar
rest making him amenable to this sec
tion of the criminal code, arranged with
Howard to clear him of the crime, agree
ing, on his discharge, to pay Howard $10
a month while in the Minneapolis jail,
and $5 lor every month of the sentence
that he would receive by confinement at
Stillwatc-r. Olson, acquitted of the charge,
forgot all about the agreement, and How
ard, angered at this breach of faith, ar
ranged to have him connected with the
Midway fire. This was made plausible
by the fact that the two while in jail
had talked of revenge for grievances al
leged to have been sustained.
In addition to incurring the enmity of
Howard. Olson further invoked the an
ger of the several pals of Howard con
fined in jail at the time by agreeing to
procure for one of the men a suit of
clothes and failing to hand them over.
He was given an order for the suit by
the owner, and after securing it, appro
priated it to his own use. This was the
last straw, and the attempt at his undo
ing followed. The other three were pals
of his, and as he had often spoken of
them In jail the story was further
strengthened by adding them to the list
of firebugs.
The McCormicks, who suffered so heav
ily by the fire, do not think the firing of
their two plants was the work of an in
cendiary, or that it- was done by parties
in a plot. That at Chicago was burned
in broad daylight, while the one here oc
curred at night.

about four years, and its presence in the
courts was brought about by Comptroller
McCardy refusing to audit the same. The
city contends that the bill Is excessive,
and claims exemption from the fact that
the city under its agreement with the

of 'phones free and other service without

"More beautiful than the women of St.
Louis, but not so graceful, in fact, any
thing but graceful." That is Mrs. Char
lotte Davenport's opinion of the St. Paul
women, expressed to about seventy-five
of the society wemen of St. Paul at
the Aberdeen yesterday afternoon. Mrs.
Davenport is a teacher of physical cul
ture She Is of Polish and Russian de
scent, was born in Switzerland, lives in
New York, speaks Anna Held English,
and in the course of her remarks yester
day afternoon referred frequently, and
with pride, to the fact that she is mar
ried to an American. Mrs. Davenport
teaches the pleasing art of being beauti
ful. Broader mentally than Jenness Mil
ler, more subtile and more internal—if
one may use the expression—than MaJarae
Yak, Mis. Davenport spoke with an as
surance yesterday that was convincing.
"Repartee," she assured her listeners
smilingly, "comes from the stomach,"
which is ceitainly an interesting way of
saying "a sane mind in a sane body," and
newer, too. Mrs. Davenport shrewdly
dwelt upon the results of her physical
culture instructions rather than upon
those instructions themselves, as she will
begin the teaching of a class nere this
morning. Certain cxc clsss regularly gone
through with, the drinking of a quantity
of water—the lecturer announced that she
drinks eight quarts daily—and the culti
vation of an equable disposition arc ap
parently the sum and substance of M:s.
Davenport's method. Personal magnet
ism should be and could be cultivated,
she asserted, for it was greater than
beauty. French women ruled France, not
because of their beauty, but because of
their finesse, their attention to detaii.
Mrs. Davenport will form a class this
morning in the Aberdeen. Those who
would be beautiful are requested to bring
two cucumbers, a little rye whisky and
a towel. The request for the whisky was
robbed of its audaciousness by Mrs. Dav
enport's assertion that she is a total
abstainer. The class will meet in the
parlors of the Aberdeen.

There Are No M.Misli. m on the Sub

"Do trade marks and labels benefit
the labor organizations and the indi
viduals who adopt and use them?"
The above interesting question will be
given thorough study by the state labor
department before the summer is well
under way. Labor Commissioner O'Don
nell will leave no stcne unturned to
ascertain just what is the status of the
trade mark, label, 'device, or sign, by
whichever term it is designated.
'It is an interesting question," said
the labor commissioner yesterday after.
noon. "It was only in the year, 1893, that
the law protecting trade marks and
labels of labor organizations was passed,
and since that time my department has
made no effort to keep track of the
various trade marks that have come
into existence.
"What I am curious to know and what
labor organizations all over the state
ft'ould be glad to know is, what good has
been accomplished by the trade mark
law? "VVhait benefit is derived by organU
zations and individuals? At present we
have no statistics in this department
and can only talk in a vague way ct
the question. My plan is to secure all
the information possible from the organi
zations and individuals using trade
marks. Perhaps suggestions can be
gained in various places which will aid
us considerably."
A trade mark does not always mean
what it is supposed to nv?an. If a man
buys a cigar made by union workmen
and the union label is plainly in evidence
he naturally thinks everything is what it
should be. Such a thing might be,
though, that the maker of the cigar was
not paid properly for his work or that
he was made to work overtime. A union
man always likes to see a label that
means unionism.
The question of label and trade marks
will be given thorough discussion before
the "grand open meeting"' of labor organ-,
izations in Minneapolis, April 29.
ST. PAUL PRESBYTERY
REPORTS RECEIVED INDICATE
PRCSPEROIS CONDITIONS
IN CHIBjCBES.
Rev. John Sinclair, of the First Pres
byterian church, was elected moderator
at the quarterly meeting of the Presby
tery of St. Paul held yesterday at the
Ninth Presbyterian cnurch. Twenty
nine ministers and sixteen elders partici
pated in the sessions which continued
throughout the day. Rev. C. C. B. Dun
can, retiring moderator, preacned a ser
mon on the subject, "The Progress of
the Christian Church." Gen. Adams was
received as corresponding member from
the Red River Presbytery. The reports
of the committees and miscellaneous
business occupied the greater part of the
forenoon. After paying all expenses the
treasurer reported that there'was a sur
plus on hand of $206. Reports from other
departments indicated an equally prosper

Catarrh is. a constitutional disease— : a blood disease which is frequently
inherited, and only a blood medicine, such as S. S. S., can remove the hereditary
taint, destroy the poisons that have been accumulating in the system for years
perhaps, and restore. the blood to a healthy and pure condition. The inflamed
membranes and diseased glands are healed by the rich, pure blood which is carried
to them, and the offensive discharges from the nose, and the terrible headache and
neuralgic pains cease. Chronic cases of the most desperate character and apparent
ly hopeless, have been cured completely and permanently by the use of S. S. S.
