ANNUAL PARTY
Four Hundred of Fraternity
Participate in Event at
Elks' Hall.
Four hundred jolly drummers met in
Elks' hall last night to celebrate their

composed of twenty "gopd fellows."
Last night forty-six were initiated,
"three were reinstated and one was re

cers, Terry McCosker, Grand Forks;
Ernest Grant, Minneapolis; F. X, Gra
vel, Crookston; J. M. Dresser, St. Paul;
A. H. Overman, Duluth; G. W. Rodg
ers, St. Paul; W. G. Jacobs, Aberdeen,

man, Alex Van Praag, Prof. Rothfuss,
of the Y. M. C. A.
In an adjoining room a repast was
served, of which 400 partook. The

Duluth.
ALMOST CRUSHED
BY LOCOMOTIVE
Martin Peterson and an Engine Try
tv Enter Door at Same
Time.
Martin Peterson, 165 Como avenue,
an employe of the Great Northern, had
a narrow escape from a terrible death
at the Como avenue yards yesterday.
' He attempted to squeeze into the
round house between the door jamb
and a locomotive which was entering.
He was caught in the narrow spa*je
and pinned to the wall. His cries at
tracted the attention of the engineer,
who stopped the engine in time to
save the man's life.
Peterson was taken to St. Joseph's
hospital. His right hip was crushed
and he sustained internal injuries.

and its mortality the lowest, is highly
Treasurer—Capt. W. H. Hart, of St.
Paul.
These were the officers elected by
acclamation at the twenty-third meet
ing of the Minnesota National Guard
association which was held at the capi
tol yesterday.
In the neighborhood of 100 of tht
commissioned officers of the state
guard attended the session and there
was quite a display of uniforms with
out sword attachments.
Gov. Vant Sant made an address in
which he promised that he would re
appoint Adjutant General Libbey and
informed the officers that nothing
would give him greater pleasure than
to lead the Minnesota brigade to the
St. Louis exposition.
Just where the money for the trip
of the- brigade was to come from the
commander-in-chief did' not ,say, but
later in the session of the associa
tion it was brought out that the bri
gade would be mobilized at Lake City,
a day previous to the date of starting
for St. Louis and instead of having
an encampment in 1904 the guard
would spend the appropriation on the
St. Louis trip.
Gen. H. Quinton, who before his
retirement from the regular army,
commanded" the Fourteenth infantry
during the trouble in China, # read an
interesting paper on his experience in
the Orient.
Maj. George C. Lambert, chairman of
the executive committee, submitted a
report recommending that the legisla
ture be asked for an appropria*l23
sufficient to maintain the camp and
buildings at Lake City and provide for
a permanent storehouse at that point.
The committee recommended that the
annual inspection at camp be con
tinued; examinations should be held
for non-commissioned officers; that a
dress uniform would be advisable simf
lar to that adopted by the United
States army.
A resolution by Col. Van Duzee re
questing the adjutant general to pre
pare an examination for non-commis
sioned officers was adopted.
The fact that regimental and com
pany commanders draw heavily on
their personal resources for incidental
expenses caused the adoption of a
resolution requesting the legislature to
set aside annually $50 for brigade
headquarters; $200 for regimental
headquarters; $TSO for; artillery headr
quarters and $100 for company com
manders.
Maj. Corriston, of the First regiment,
talked against the annual company in
spection at camp and favored the in
spection being held at the company
station.
Favored Camp Inspection.
Col. Bobleter, Col. Van Duzee and
Gen. Bend all favored. inspection at the
annual encampment and the motion to
continue the inspections was carried
by an overwhelming vote.
Col. Van Duzee introduced a resolu
tion to the effect that it was the
sense of the meeting that the guard
should have a distinct uniform, for
state occasions.
Maj. Wright, of Austin, and Maj.
Corriston, of Minneapolis, opposed
having any distinctive state unifprm.
Maj. Lambert favored a uniform for
dress occasions like the proposed trip
to St. Louis. Capt. O. E. Lee said the
Minnesota guard .had been compli
mented on its appearance in Chicago
in 1593 and did not favor a dress uni
form. The motion offered by Col. Van
Duzee was laid on the table.
Gen. Bend, however, came to the
front at once with a resolution call
ing for a service uniform and dress
similar to that of the regular-army,
but that no action be taken until the
regulars had decided on what they
would wear. Gen. Bend informed the
association that there was $5,000 left
in the uniform fund for this year ana
by this time next year there would be
enough money on hand to get both ser
vice and dress uniforms for each mem
ber of the guard.
Money Not Spent Goes to State.
This statement brought out the fact
that unexpected balances were not car
ried over by the state auditor and if
the money was not spent in one year
it was turned over to the general fund.
"Auditor-elect Iverscn told me differ
ent the other day," said Gen. Bend.
"Well, I know different," replied
Adjt. Gen. Libbey, "because I have
learned to my sorrow that if any part
of the uniform fund 1b not spent at
THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, SUNDAY DECEMBER 28, 1902.
the end of the year it goes into the
general fund."
It was decided to have the law
amended so as to have the balances
in unexpended funds carried forward
each year. .
Capt. Lee, inspector of small arms
practice, urged that more work be
done by company teams in rifle prac
tice and favored sending a team to
Illinois to bring back the Washburn
trophy now held by the guard from
that state.
Lieut. R. D. O'Brien, of St. Paul, se
cured the passage of a, resolution ap
propriating $10 for membership in the
United Rifle association, and urged the
sending of a team to Sea Girt, N. J.,
next summer to compete for prizes.
He suggested that the encampment
next summer could be cut short one
day, and the funds taken to pay the
expenses of the team.
Started a Storm.
This suggestion raised a storm of
protest, but after some explanation the
suggestion was adopted, Col. Van Du
zee saying there would be a way found
of raising the money.
Two attempts were made to amend
the by-laws so as to increase the ex
ecutive committee from seven to eight
members by allowing the president to
appoint an additional member from the
governor's staff. The point was made
that Adjt. Gen. Libbey was a member
of the executive committee and also a
member of the governor's staff, and
appreciated by Health Commissioner
Ohage.
It is considered one of the depart
ment's most valuable assets, and an
engraving of the medal, a fac simile
of which is shown above, will shortly
adorn all the office stationery. Health
both times the amendment was voted
down.
Capt Bennett, of Company B, First
artillery, wanted 25 cents paid to each
enlisted man who attended drills. This
would mean only about $16,000 a year,
and it would help the guard considera
bly. Gen. Bend opposed it, saying that
the appropriation of about $60,000 from
the state had been secured only by
bringing the argument to bear that
the members of the guard gave their
valuable time for nothing. He feared
the adoption of the suggestion would
work against any increased appropria
tion. The question of placing the prop
osition in the hands of the executive
committee was carried by a close vote.
Adjt. Gen. Libbey thanked the mem
bers for the assistance given him, and
said that, while he was not present
when GoV. Van Sant had announced
meant as much to him as the 56,000
majority meant to the- governor at the
recent election.
Van Duzee Dines Officers.
Col. Charles A. Van Duzee, of the
Third regiment, national guard, gave
an informal dinner at the Windsor last
evening to the officers of his regiment
who attended the association meeting.
There were thirty at the table.
After dinner the guests discussed
affairs of the regiment and the state
guard.
IMPORTANT LETTERS
AWAIT CLAIMANTS
Australian Supreme Court Asks St..
Paul Postmaster to Find
Curtain Family.
There are four large letters at the St.
Paul postoffice for memhers of the
"Curtain" family. The letters have
made the trip twice from Sydney, New
South Wales, and are supposed, to be
of great importance to the addressees,
as they are from the supreme court of
the Australian colony.
The letters were returned by the
St. Paul division September last, owing
to "indefinite addresses," being simply
addressed "Minnesota, U. S. A.,, and
one of them care "Mr. Sharke (or
Sparke) Ironworks, Minnesota." The
postoffice department at Washington,
at the request of the New South Wales
government, has asked the St. Paul
postmaster to exhaust every reason
able means in an effort to locate the
addresses. One of the letters is ad
dressed to Mrs. Hyde, presumably a
sister to the three "Curtain" brothers.

Keverse of Medal Bestowed by French Exposition.
Commissioner Ohage says he intends
to. mak« "St, Paul the healthiest city
in the world" a catch phrase that will
become famous.
The medal, a disc of bronzer about
two inches and a half in diameter, is
of handsome design. All of the figured
was awarded to JV H. Donahue, who
agreed to furnish Italian marble for
$495.
The only other b!4 submitted was
for Georgia marble ? 'Tbut fie commis
sioners decided to preserve the har
mony of the building,. even at an in
creased cost, and the bid for native
marble was turned^dowji. •
The commissioners rejected t&e bid
of J. H. Donahue foj .a roof on the
proposed coal bunkers," the figure nam
ed by the bidder —$759 —beong consid
ered exorbitant. T^ie auditor was in
structed to advertise for new bids.
O. L. Rheam, superintendent of con
struction of the new jail, submtited to
the commissioners at yesterday's meet
ing the report of the progress of the
work on the jail, the report having
been called for by a resolution adopt
ed by the board some time ago.
The report contains but; „Jittle infor
mation and the report shp'wjs that the
exterior work of tbsstructure, ,is com
pleted, that the cell workuis finished,
as well as that ;o£ >the I^tsam coils,
radiators, gas piping aii*l window
frames. There remains bfct little work
to be done and everything points to a
speedy completion "oTthe "work.
Only Two Extra Wa&Si -!
The only expenditures found neces
sary on account' of "extras* 4- is given
as $1,925, expended on account of the
old sewers on the Building'site and 5400
for radiators in the basemen}:,, it being
the intention at the beginnfig to heat
the basement from the feedpipes.
According to the report, aside from
these two items, not a cent has been
expended on account of any changes
in the plans and specifications* Mr.
Rheaum attributes the delay in' the
completion of the building to the fact
that the steel cells and steel plates
were not ready at the proper time,
causing the contractors' much loss of
time.

First Letter Toldjsf Woman, Who Had
Frozen to Death and Who Could Be
Found |n. Central Park — Another
Said That a Woman Was Dead in
the Court House Tower.
A mystery of some depth is devel
oping out of the "suicide" letters that
have been left at Minneapolis news-
are in relief. The words "Bureau De
L'Hygiene A St. Paul" show the char
acter of the competition. The medal

at the city hall, but will soon be trans
ferred to a glass case for exhibition
purposes. _ .
pager offices during the last few days.
The first note, which was published
by the afternoon papers in Minneapolis
Friday, announced, that the body of a
woman had been found in Central park
—that the woman had evidently been
frozen to death—-tttat she was" clad in
black from head to foot, and was ap
parently about twenty-five years of
age.
No such woman had been found, but
it was- considered that she who left the
note at the newspaper offices complete-,
ly filled the description given of the
supposed suicide, and watch was kept
on the park in order that the myste
rious person might be apprehended in
case she appeared.
Yesterday another note was deliv
ered in which was the announcement
apparently written by the same hand
as the previous note, that a woman
had been found dead in the court
house tower. The description given of
.the. dead woman was practically like
that in the preceding notice, except
that in the former a black astrakhan
coat was said to have been worn by
the deceased.
Johnny Olsen Gets In.
The note yesterday was delivered by
a messenger boy named Johnny Olsen.
The youngster declared that it had
been handed to him by a man in the
postQffice. This man, he declared, had
been talking to another man and wom
an. Olsen said he had been given 25
cents' to- deliver the message.
A reporter was isent with the boy to
overhaul the trio» but they had dis
appeared from the postofHce. Later
they were seen waiting for an interur
ban car at Third street and First ave
nue. All three denied that they had
ever seen the boy before or that any
note had been written by either of
them. The boy insisted the contrary.
While awaiting, the car the. elder o£
the men wrote something in a note
book, afterwards tearing out the leaf.
When they had boarded the car the
younger man and the woman went In
side while the older man remained on
the rear platform. As the car pulled
out he threw the note he had written
off, the car. It was picked up by the
reporter, who read:
"Cut this out. Let well enough
alone. I am looking after her and there
will be nothing doing."
The man who wrote the note was
about fifty years of age. He was short
three fingers on his right hand, was
lame and walked with a ~ heavy cane.
The other man was younger—about
twenty-five years old. He took no part
in the conversation.
The woman was about thirty years
old, wearing a sealskin sacque, a brown
cloth skirt and tan gloves. She was a
brunette, handsome and apparently
a woman of refinement. During the
colloquy between the reporter and her
older" companion, she betrayed mild
-interest, and subsequently amusement

Pain or dull ache in the back Is un

It is Nature's timely warning to show
you that the track of health is not

If these danger signals are unheed

worst -form of kidney trouble, may
steal upon you.

Root, is soon realized: It stapds the

Backache, Uric Acid and Urinary Trouble.
Among the many famous cures of
Swamp-Root investigated by The St. Paul
Globe the one we publish today for
the benefit of our readers, speaks in the
highest terms of- the wonderful curative
properties of this great kidney remedy,
Dr. Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton,. N. Y."
Gentlemen: —When 1 wrote you last
March for a sample bottle of Swamp-
Root, my wife was a great sufferer from
backache, rheumatism and urinary trou
ble, also excess Of uric acid. After try
ing the sample bottle, she bought a
. large bottle here at the drug store.
• That did her so much good she bought
more. The effect of Swamp-Root was
wonderful and almost immediate. She
has felt no return of the old trouble
since.
Oct., 1901. F. THOMAS,
427 Best St., Buffalo, N. Y.
Lame back is only one symptom of
kidney trouble—one of many. Other
symptoms showing that you need
Swamp-Root are, obliged to pass wa
ter often during the day and to get
up many times at night, inability to
hold your urines smarting or irritation
in passing, brfck-dust or sediment in
the urine, catarrh of the bladder, uric
at having been connected with the
mysterious letter.
Sees Them Start for St. Paul.
J. R. Whi-taker, of the New York
Life Insurance company, living at 3215
Stevens avenue, was on the car- He
had no previous knowledge of the trio
that boarded the car at Third street,
but his attention was attracted by
their actions after leaving Minneap
olis.
"I did not pay much attention to
them," said Mr. Whitaker on his^re
turn to Minneapolis last night, "but
they certainly acted very strangely. 1
noticed that they left the car at Avon
street. «
"The first thing that made me no
tice them was that the woman wanted
to get off the car at State street, near
the university, but the older of the two
men insisted that she had better re
main and go through with him.
" VBut it is certain to attract atten
tion,' I heard the woman say. Then
the younger man» who was sitting in
the seat behind the other two, leaned
forward and talked to the woman in
an excited manner. I could not hear
what he said, but shortly after that I
noticed that she was in tears. From
that time until they left car the woman
kept her handkerchief to her eyeS and
the men spoke to each other only oc
casionally. I did not hear what they
said. Several other people on the car
noticed these three and the man who
sat next to me spoke about their mys
terious actions."
The Minneapolis police believe that
the woman is unbalanced mentally and
that her male companions were re
moving her to some hospital or retreat
for persons so afflicted. If there be
any other explanation of the curious
occurrence, none has so far developed.
POOR SERVICE IS EXPLAINED.
Big Engine In Third Avenue Power Station
Broke Down Christmas Eve.
Explanation of the collapse in the
Street railway service on Christmas eve
has just developed. The big 1,200 horse
power engine at the Third avenue. Rower
Station in Minneapolis broke down unex
pectedly and put the service in oven
worse shape than it had been before the
new Selby avenue engine was started.
Nothing could have oe3n more unex
pected. There had been nothing wrong
with the engine so far as expert eyes
could tell until an hour or two before
it gave out. Immediately thereafter the
resources of the company in the matter
Tit power were reduced to 200 horse power
less than had been available before the
new Selby engine went into service. It
fs appalling to think what would have
happened if the Jatter engine had not
been ready for use.
A large gang of machinists and en
gineers has been at work at night and
day on the engines ever since this latest
trouble occurred. The new 1,200 horse
power engine being erected in Minneapo
lis for supplementary power will be ready
for use before the broken^down machine
can be repaired. The new engine will
mostly likely start up tomorrow. It is
believed that the other large engine will
have been repaired within a week.

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
Symptoms of a Very Common Trouble?
There is no disease so common in the
United States as catarrh because it ap
pears in so many forms and attacks so
many different organs. __
It is a common mistake to suppose that
catarrh is confined to the nose and throat.
Any inflammation of the mucous mem
brane wherever located, accompanied by
abnormal secretions, Is catarrh. Catarrh
of stomach or bladder, or intestines is
nearly as common as nasal catarrh a~nd
much more serious, although it is trua
that stomach catarrh and catarrh of other
internal organs is the result 'of neglected
nasal catarrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which so far as tested seems to be re
markably effective in promptly curing
catarrh, wherever located. The prepara
tion is sold by druggists generally under
name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and in
addition to being very palatable and con
venient, possesses extraordinary merit, in
many cases giving immediate relief from
the coughing, hawking and constant clear
ing of the throat and head, those symp
toms with which everyone is familiar who
has ever suffered from colds in the head
and throat.
Catarrh is simply a continuation of
these symptoms until the trouble becomes
chronic and gri#ws gradually worse from
year to year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed
of Blood root, red gum and similar anti
septics and catarrh specifics, from which
it will be seen that no secret is made of
the ingredients and also that no mineral
poisons "are used, as is the case with
many well known catarrh medicines.
For catarrh of the nose, throat, bron
chial tubes, for catarrh of stomach, in
testines or bladder no preparation is so
safe and gives such rapid and permanent
results as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them at 50c for full
sized package. You can use them with
assurance that you will not contract the
cocaine op morphine habit as the results
from this catarrh cure are apparent from
the first day's use.
