One of the Best in the Country, Fully

April 1.
Secretary Benjamin F. Beardsley, of
the Chamber of Commerce, announces
another addition to the list of recent
acquisitions to St. Paul, brought largely
through his efforts, or those of the vari
ous Chamber of Commerce Committees.
A throughly modern storage warehouse
is to be provided for the safe keeping
of furniture and other personal effects,
upon plans similar to those now so fa
vorably known in New York and other
Eastern cities. Separate compartments
for the various lots of goods will, as far
as possible, be provided. A uniformly
tempered and warmed section for piano
storage, a separate annex building con-

footbridge. The Mannheimer building
was, when constructed in 1882, the swell
office building of town, the ground floor
being simultaneously used by the large
dry gods store of Mannheimer Bros., who
built and occupied the same up to the
time of their removal to their present
quarters. The three office floors are al
ready adapted to high gTade storage pur
poses, affording isolation for each man's
goods, and enabling the warehouseman
to secure cleanliness and safety to his
various customers. As an additional
protection the adjoinging buildings will
be entirely separated and be reached only
over the iron bridge. It will be fire
proofed and provided with numerous
private rooms, or cells, having cement
floors and ceilings and hollow tile parti
tion walls, each provided with a "sand
wich" door as approved by the under
writers, upon a plan somewhat similar
to the very successful fireproof ware
house now in operation in Minneapolis,
but the entire plant will be nearly three
times as large as the Minneapolis house.
The remodeling is to be commenced at
once by tha new proprietors, who have
had extensive experience in this line,
and know what is required for the prop
er storing and .handling of household
goods, as well as in storing and shipping
heavy merchandise and imported goods
in bond. They expect to be ready to
receive goods some time before April 1,
when an inspection of the plant will be
welcomed. The manager, C. C. Stetson,
until recently of Minneapolis, superin
tended the starting of the fireproof ware
house there, and was for some time pre
vious secretary and treasurer of the Itas
ca Warehouse company. He said in an
interview yesterday: "We will carry
fire insurance for the full stated value
of the garments without additional ex
pense to the owner. We will have a spe
cial fireproof bank vault for silverware
and other valuable articles, and will un
dertake the safekeeping of wills or other
papers or records. An automatic bur
glar alarm system will be connected as
an additional safeguard."
An inspection of the new warehouse
will be permitted at any time, and a per
sonal examination invited by the man
agement. Where desired the company
will advance on goods stored at legal in
terest rates.

Hit While Crossing: the Trucks by
Rapidly Moving: Train, and
Mutilated in a Horri
ble Manner.
August Nightingale, 1228 West Minne
haha street, was run over by a Great
Northern switch engine near the Ham
line avenue bridge, yesterday at noon,
and instantly killed. His head was com
pletely severed from the body, and he
•was bady out up by the wheels of the
moving train.
Nightingale, who was but nineteen
years of age, was employed as an up
holsterer in the Northern Pacific shops,
and was on hi 3 way home to dinner. He
made his home with his uncle, H. A. Wy
galt, and his cousin, Fred Wygalt, a boy
of his own age, was with him. When
he was about to cross the track the west
bound Burlington train passed. He stop
ped and waited for it to pass, and then
attempted to cross the tracks. It a.p«
p>ears that he did not see the switch
engine which was pulling the transfer
train and Was moving at a rapid rate.
He stepped on the track just in time to
be struck by the train and knocked dow».
The wheels of the engine passed di
rectly over the body, severing the head,
which was found fifty feet from where
the rest of the body was picked up. The
engine, two box cars and caboose passed
over the body, mutilating it terribly.
Coroner Miller was called, andl pro
nounced it a clear case of accidental
death.
Nightingale is a son of August Night
ingale Sr., who lives on a farm eight
miles from the city on the Dodd road.
He had been employed in the Northern
Pacific shops for about two months, and
had not yet become familiar with the
trains that pass through the yards.

WAS EASY VICTIM
JOHST BEnGE.V BOUGHT TELBPIIOM3
POLEiS FROM A
' &TRANGEiR;
THOUGHT HE HAD A BARGAIN
Greatly Surprised When Arrested
for Stealing Poles Which He
Had Converted Into Kin
dling Wood.
The case of the farmer buying the Ma
sonic Temple in Chicago, and making ad
vance payment of $500 to the stranger
who sold the property, has a counterpart
in St. Paul on a much smaller scale. The
victim in this case i 5 John Bergen, a
laborer for tiie Minnesota Transfer com
pany, who was in police court yesterday
charged with larceny. It appears that a
man came to him a few days ago and
offered to sell him a number of telephone
poles lying near his home. There were
fifteen poles and as it would cost a good
deal to haul them away, he offered to
sell them for $1.50, which was much
cheaper than cord wood.
Bergen, on the lookout for a bargain,
and perceivingl an opportunity to lay in
a goodly quantity of firewood closed the
deal and had the poles hauled to his
home on Myrtle street. As soon as they
arrived there, he began cutting them up
into lengths suitable for his stove.
While he was busily engaged in saw
ing, and congratulating himself on the
good bargain he had made, another man
appeared on the scene armed with a
warrant for his arrest. The warrant
charged h/im with stealing the poles from
the Twin City Telephone company.
Bergen then saw that he had been the
victim of a confidence game and that the
stranger who was so willing to give him
a bargain in the deal was not the owner
Of the poles, but simply a man who was
playing him for a "sucker."
JBergen told Judge Hine yesterday of
tha circumstances connected with the
case and said that he had been the vic
tim of a confidence game. He could not
tell who tne stranger was that sold him
the poles as he had not seen him before,
or since. In view of the peculiar cir
cumstances the case was continued until
Friday, during which time the matter
will probably be adjusted and the case
dismissed.
LEARNING AND LIVING
DR. IvJ EH SAYS THE ONE SUP
PLEMENTS THE OTHER.
University Professor Spoke to nis
tiiifiuisjied National Educator*
nt Annual Chicago Con
ference.
"The Practical Application of All
Learning to Better Living" was the sub
ject of an interesting paper read "by Dr.
D. L. Kiehle, of the state university, be
fore the department of superintendence
of the National Educational association,
which began a three days' session in Chi
cago yesterday. Dr. Kie/hle began by
sketching briefly the ideals of education
since the time cf the "golden age" of
Greece. This review showed two stages
of development—"that of education for
the governing classes, social, secular and
clerical; and that of productive industry
as a supplement to the other."
"Education in all its history," he add
ed, "had been for men." From lines of
study designed' exclusively for men,
women who sought the wider fields of
life were obliged to choose if they chose
at all. "And yet," said Dr. Kieme, "this
is not the goal for women and their edu
cation. The significance of what we have
done is that in so far as men and women
have common abilities, common rights
and common aims, they may study an«l
labor together; but beyond' the point of
differentation,, in a department of life
which belongs pre-eminently and ex
clusively to women, namely, the home
i and motherhood, no provision has been
made. So noticeable Is tills- neglect, that
the criticism has been provoked that we
are educating shopkeepers and artisans,
money-makers of our daughters, instead
of wives and mothers and home-makers.
"Until wealth (brings its treasures from
the shop and the bank to the home in
forms of use for the comfort of the
family, until art learns to beautify the
dwelling place of the family life as well
as the cathedral and the capitol, and
until science devotes itself to tne health
ful rearing of children and the hygiene
of the home, all the forces of our modern
civilization fall far short of their highest
service and that to which they are des
tined."
Turning to the high schools, '"the col
leges of the people," Dr. Kiehle says:
The high school's spirit should be to
encourage every yquth to make the J«gfc.t
of himself and tb* most of life by the
highest culture afs circumstances will
allow, and 1 by his intelligence and skill to
make himsalf a part of the largest world
of human interests and activity of which
hi' is capable. Nothing would be more
calamitous to ■out high schools than to
close the avenues to a high culture and
to give undue prominence to mere money
making occupations of life. It is the duty
of the high school to educate its stu
dents to the best ideas and the most
practical application of them to the sta
tion they are to fill.
I urge that we enlarge our view of ed
ucation to include the idea that educa
tion Tias for its aim a preparation for a
life of comfort and honor in every walk
in life. It is not only that education
should prepare for a better living, but it
should teach what a better living is.
Next to living, the greatest problem in
life is, what is good living? And the
greatest obstacle to a good system of
education lies in the misconception of
society respecting the kind of a- living
that is most worthy of our seeking.
In our day. it is the people who are
supporting education, and not princes
nor a scientific aristocracy. The people are
interested in nothing so much as living;
and they who are nearest the people are
the men who take the crude material of
discovered truth, which these miners
have sent up from the dark chambers
of their hidden lives and reduced them
to forms of utilitarian beauty, to in
crease and to improve the happiness of
men. And this test is being applied to
our entire educational curriculum. Hu
manity has no use for "art for art's
sake," for culture as an end in itself, nor
for a science that disappears with its
votaries in the realm of the abstract.
The supreme test of educational values
is. how do these things relate man to
life, what better interpretation of living
do they give? and hnw do they contrib
ute to a better living?

"ADMEN" WILLORCANIZE
TWIN CITY WORKERS FAVOR CON
SOLIDATION.
A meeting for the purpose of effecting
J? /^S^ization of the advertising men
tof the Twin Cities has been called for
Wednesday evening, March 5, in the par
lors of the Ryan hotel. The promoters of
the plan in this city are W. L. Aguew,
of the Great Northern and W. L. Wil
liams, advertising manager for the Hamm
Brewing company. T. E. Andrews and
A. W. Warnocke, of Minneapolis, are also
Interested in the organization of the bc.dy
which will probably be known as tha
Twin City Advertising Men's club.
It is not the intention of the organisers
to have club rooms but simply to hold
meetings at stated times at which papers
relative to advertising will be read and
prominent men in the business from oth
er cities invited to address the local men.
It &a thought that this kind of an or
ganization would be an excellent thing
for the advertising men both in a busi
ness and a social way as it would pror
mote a closer acquaintance and this in
itself would be a great help in the general
run of business-.
The organization is to include the ad
vertising men of all lines of business.
Nearly all the large Eastern cities have
organizations of this character and many,
of them are important factors In both
business and municipal affairs.
DORAN IS SCHEMING
FORMER MAYOR HOPES TO SECURE
ABOLITION OF POLICE
COM,MJSSION
PETITION TO BE CIRCULATED
Reported That This Is to Be Done
to Circumvent Charter Com
mission's Rejection of
His Pet Hobby.
Former Mayor Doran, who is also
president of the charter commission,
still hopes for his pet hobby, the aboli
tion of ther St. Paul police commission.
Nothing daunted by his late repulse from
the charter commission, which he tried
to interest in the indorsement of an
amendment wiping out the commission,
he will try new tactics.
. What asking won't do a petition will,
and this, it is said, will "be Mr. Doran's
next scheme. Petitions asking for the
abolishment of the commission are now
b-eing prepared, and as soon as ready
they will be circulated by his friends.
Who hope to profit, if the scheme ever
reaches consummation.
Presented with a petition carrying the
names of the required number of voters,
the charter commission would have no
alternative but to prepare an amendment
for the spring election. The commission
has gone on record as being opposed to
presenting any amendment, but with a
petition its wishes would have little
weight.
When Mr. Doran announced himself as
a candidate for the nomination for mayor
it was thought he would resign his post
tion as president" of the charter commis
sion. This mixture of politics is, said to
be embarrassing to the other members,
who desire to keep the body as it was
originally intended, a non-partisan or
ganization. This it is said, has hade
more to do than anything else in the
shelving of Mr. Doran's ambitions to be
the one to wreck the police commission
and return to the old order of things.
PLAGES ON TWO BOARDS
PARK. COMMtISSIOXERS AiND SCHOOL
DIRECTORS TO BE APPOINTED.
Next week Mayor Smith will fill two
vacancies on the school board and two
on the board of park commissioners.
Commissioners Willius and Chamberlain
are the retiring members on the park
board and it is understood are unwilling
to be reappointed. Of those whose tfixms
on the school board expire, Director
Waite, it is understood, is the only one
who will not *c reappointed. Mayor
Smith says he has decided on a succes
sor but does not care to make it public
until the proper time arrives.
Injunction Is Denied.
Judge Lochren yesterday denied the mo
tion of the Brunswick, Balke & Collen
der company for a temporary injunction
against Koehler & Hinrichs, of this city,
to restrain them from the sale of a cer
tain runway for bowling alleys upon
which the plaintiff claims to hold a pat
ent. The position taken by the court is
that the device is so simple as not to be
patentable.
AUTHOR AND PHYSICIAN
Writes Interesting Tales.
The author of "Under Palmetto and
Pine," "Ntorma Trist," "Four Years on
Wheels," etc., Dr. J. W. Carhart of La
Grange, Texas, in addition to his literary
efforts, is a hard working physician in
general practice.
lie writes interestingly of how his free
dom from heart trouble was gained by
leaving off coffee and using Post urn in
its place. "I drank coffee in the ordinary
form for many years; nervous trouble
involving disturbance of the heart's ac
tion resulted.
On coming to Texas I fell into the habit
of drinking coffee after hard, cold rides
in my practice or when in camp or on
the trail. My heart troi&le soon became
exceedingly aggravating, resulting in fre
quent attacks of what was pronounced
angina pectoris, a severe agonizing pain
over the heart extending to 'the back and
sometimes down the left arm.
In some c»f these attacks but for the
timely administration of mcrphina injected
hypodermic-ally I could nave survived
but a short time.
At different times I abandoned the mo of
coffee, believing it the cause of my
troubles, and invariably improved, but as
I had nothing satisfactory to take its
place in the way of a beverage I re
turned to its use.
The literature of Postum Cereal Cof
fee came to my notice and I resolved to
try it. The directions for preparation
were strictly followed and I found it an
agreeable, appetizing, invigorating table
beverage. I continued its use in my fam
ily for the past year and a half or x two
years during which time I have never had
an attack of my old heart trouble, am
capable now at the age of 67 years and do
as much professional and literary wont as
at any period of my life. I can endure
physical exercise without weariness but
with zest and relish, and have gained in
weight from 134 pounds to 165 pounds."
The doctor further refers to th-e wide
spread prevalence of heart trouble from
the use of coffee and tobacco, and speaks
of the advantage gained by patients when
they leave off coffee and take Postum.
It must also be added that the poison
iof the coffee does not affect the heart
in some patients but shows its work in
the stomach and bowels with one, perhaps
In the eyes with another, and kidneys
with another, and general nervous pro
stration with another.
It Is never possible to tell just where
the result of the poison nerve centers
will show forth. There is but one way
to surely cure such cases and that is by

"Vice President Cleveland, in the con
vention call, speaks of the possibilities of
the association thus:
With a membership of over 403 (an in
crease of 50 new members this year), we
are in a position to secure co-operation r.f
the jobbers and manufacturers to" neTp
us correct many of the trade abuses that
now exist. The state of Minnesota, with
its vast opportunities for development,
stands foremost in the nation as an emi
gration center for the coming year. The
fact of its having sudh rich agricultural
and mineral resources tells the story.
As business men, we are anxious to enjoy
a portion of this prosperity, and to main
tain this association, helping each other
to build up a business, that the retail
hardware dealer may occupy the position
in his community in the future, as in the
past, a leader in his trade line. Many of
our older members have suffered from the
trade influences of catalogue and depart
ment store i«>uses, working single-handed
to overcome almost insurmountable ob
stacles in this direction. The united
strength of over 400 members speaking ag
one man through this association, when
ever a grievance is properly presented,
quickly has its effect upon the source
from which It came.
MUSICALE SCORES A HIT.
Two Hundred Members rtninod
at Commercial Club Last M«lit.
Ladies' nights at the Commercial club
are becoming popular and fully 2C€ peo
ple attended the musicale given last niglit
in the parlors of the club. The room is
well adapted for all entertainments of
this kind, and, as it easily seats 400, it
was not at all crowded. The programme
was enthusiastically received. The Met
ropolitan quartette, with solos by each
of its members, was encored- again and
again. The quartette includes Miss
Clara Williams, soprano; Mrs. Jane !
Huntington Yale, contralto; Harry Eu- j
gene George, tenor, and Harry Edward
l'hillips, basso, each of whom were in
lemarkably good voice at last night's
concert. Fransklin W. Krieger, as accom
panist, did some meritorious work. The
quartette was assisted "by J. Louis Mac-
Evoy, who recited a po?m entitled
"Jim"' of his own composition and also
related some humorous anecdotes.

PARIiSH CASE IS OX.
Former Court Bailiff Sues for $1,100
Salary.
Judge Otis has on trial the suit of E.
M. Parish against the city of St. Paul
to recover $1,100 salary, which he claims
is due him as bailiff of the municipal
court. Parish and J. Q. Adams ha.ye
suits pending of the same character, the
facts of which were published at length
at the time the suits were filed. Their
claims are based upon the presumption
that the action of the board of police
commissioners in discharging them from
their former positions and appointing R.
A. Vance and James Loomis, as their
successors, was never legally ratified, as
the judges of the municipal court had
not concurred.

Augusta Swanson Nelson has filed a suit
in the district court against Nels • Nelson
for divorce, alleging as her cause 3 of
action habitual drunkenness and cruel
treatment. The plaintiff in her complaint
says that she is twenty-nine and her hus
band forty-five years of age and they
have-no children of their own, but have
an adopted child, Walter Nels Nelson.
She says that the defendant has been
given to habitual intemperance and at
times has kept her a prisoner in their
. home because of his almost insane jeal
ousy of her and that he has accused her
of improper conduct and threatened her
life.
The defendant keeps a saloon at 644 Mis
-sisippi street which the plaintiff alleges
yields him an income of $300 a month, and
she asks beside a divo*rce the custody of
the adopted" ohild and such 1 alimony as
the court may deem proper and just.

CONROY A FREE MAN
JIDGE JAGGAHD HOLDS INDICT.
MEXT AGAIXST HIM IXSI FKI
CIEYT AMD I\ VALID
PROCEEDINGS NOT DROPPED
County Attorney Kane Will Prose
cute Agrain, When Question of
Jeopardy Will Be Set- :
tied by Court.
Michael A. Conroy, who was accused
of having caused the death of John
Joseph Barry, was yesterday discharged
irom custody and his bondsmen dis
charged from further obligation under
their bond, Judge Jaggard having dis
missed the indictment under which Con
roy was held on the ground that it was
Insufficient. This order of the court doe.s
not, however, preclude the state from
again instituting proceedings against
Conroy on this charge, as the court de
clined to take any action that would in
volve ruling upon the question of the
prisoner's jeopardly under the indictment,
which has been dismissed. It is the ex
pressed intention of County Attorney
Kane to begin anew the prosecution of
Conroy, and when that is done the ques
tion of jeopardy will arise and must bo
decided. The proceedings of yesterday
abounded in delicate questions of law and
the case was ably contested on both
sides. The morning was occupied with
argument as to the sufficiency of the in
dictment, the principal features of which
question were set forth at some length In
The Globe of yesterday.
Early in the afternoon Judge Ja.
announced his ruling upon the validity
of the indictment, sustaining the objec
tions interposed by T. D. O'Brien, counsel
for the defense, and then arose the ques
tion of further procedure; Mr. O'Brien
contending for a ruling which would de
termine that the defendant had been in
jeopardy under this indictment and there
fore preclude further prosecution; and Mr.
Kane striving with equal earnestness for
such present disposal of the case as
would leave it open for future prosecu
tion. Mr. Kane moved the court to Bet
aside and quash the indictment alto
gether and remand the prisoner to await
the action of the next grand jury. Mr.
O'Brien moved that the jury be instruct
ed to find a verdict for the defendant.
The motion of Mr. Kane was first
argued;, he contending that if the in
dictment was not valid it should be al
together dismissed and set aside and the
prosecution left where it was before the
indictment was returned. The- effect of a
dismissal or nolle prosequi was. argued
at some length, and finally Mr. Kane
reneTsgd his motion to dismiss, adding
that if the court should not decide to re
mand the prisoner for further action the
result would be a dismissal of the pres
ent case and discharge of the defendant.
DisoliarsreH llu> Prisoner.
Mr. O'Brien urged that this would be
a violation of the rights of the de
fendant, and again presented his motion
for a directed verdict in favor of the de
fendant. This motion the court refused
to entertain on tae ground that having
held the indictment to be invalid and
therefore refused to take jurisdiction he
could not then take jurisdiction and di
rect a verdict in the case. He therefore
dismissed the indictment and discharged
the prisoner and his bondsmen.
Mr. Kane has already stated that he
will renew prosecution and as 1 in the
present status cf the case he will prac
tically have to begin at the beginning
again, it is to be presumed that he will
present the case to the next grand jury
which will meet March 10.
Tn the course of the argument yester
day the court stated that the question of
jeopardy was one which he would not at
tempt to. decide at that time and would
not decide without extensive study of
authorities. As the case has been dis
posed 'Of, that will not arise until further
attempt is made to prosecute Conroy.
The precedent upon which the court
ruled the indictment to be insufficient and
invalid is found' in an old case in Vol.
XII. of the Minnesota reports, which in
so far as the wording of the indictment
is concerned is identical with this case.
■j.~e decision which is in the case of the
state against G. Addison Brown is oy
Chief Justice Wilson and as to the ques
tion in point iie says:
"There," in the connection here used
is not equivalent to the expression "in
the county aforesaid and does not cer
tainly show the county in which the of
fense was committed."
