TELLS OF PROGRESS
IN NEW ZEALAND
Archbishop Redwood Delivers
* an Interesting Discourse
at Cathedral
Material and spiritual conditions in
that modern promised land, New Zea
land, were described yesterday morn
ing by the Most Rev. F. M. Red
wood, archbishop of Wellington, in a
sermon delivered at the St. Paul ca
thedral.
"Today," said the archbishop, "is the
seventh Sunday after Pentecost. In
view of the subject I am about to dis
cuss, I may appropriately remind you
of St. Paul's epistle to the Romans,
vi., 19-23. I speak of human things,'
etc.
"I have been requested to address
you by your archbishop, and 1 am most
happy to respond to the desires of that
illustrious prelate. Yet lam not a to
tal stranger among- you. Over twenty
five years ago, on my first visit to St.
Paul, I delivered a sermon in this very
cathedral. Nine or ten years hence I
hope to have the privilege of speak
ing to you in your new cathedral.
I have no doubt that, responding
to the wishes of your archbishop,
you will erect a building of suit
able dignity upon the admirable
site he has selected—a cathedral that,
like your glorious capitol, will dominate
the entire city, typifying the fact that
religion no less than the state must
govern a well-ordered commonwealth.
Tells of New Zealand
"I am going to speak to you about
New Zealand. I am the archbishop of
Wellington, the capital of New Zea
land. Not a few persons imagine that
I come from Australia; but New Zea
land is 1,200 miles away, across the sea,
from Australia. We have three islands
—two large and one small—all in the
temperate zone. The latitude of Wel
lington corresponds almost exactly to
that of Chicago, but the climate Is very
different. Because of our location, sur
rounded on all sides by the sea, our
climate is much milder than that of
Chicago and much less variable. Very
rarely does the mercury fall to the
freezing point in our country, although
there are some three months that cor
respond to winter, when the trees im
ported from other countries lose their
leaves. The inatgenous trees are all
evergreen, with one exception — the
fuchsia tree. You know the fuchsia
plant that you cultivate for its flowers.
With us that plant grows to be a gen
uine tree, and it loses its leaves in the
winter time. It Is then that the south
winds blow; for, inasmuch as we are
on the other side of the equator, our
cold winds come from the south and
our. warm winds -from the north.
"Our summers are nqt as hot as one
would imagine who knows the mildness
of our winters. The thermometer very
seldom indicates so great a heat as 90
degrees. Thus we can produce every
thing that ca*n be cultivated in any
temperate climate.
Country Is 1,100 Miles Long
;"The length of New Zealand, from
•northeast to southwest, is 1,100 miles.
The coast line is very extensive, meas
uring no less than 4,300 miles, and our
coasts provide many excellent harbors.
"We have four large cities—Welling
ton, Auckland, Christchurch and Dune
din. They are of about the same size,
each having 65,000 to 70,000 inhabi
tants. The capital is Wellington.
"Ours is pre-eminently a grazing and
mining country. We raise an immense
number of sheep and ship to Europe
great cargoes of mutton. Some of the
steamships that call at one of our ports
after another, accumulating mutton,
carry across the sea the carcasses of
100,000 sheep in a single cargo.
"Another source of our wealth is the
celebrated New Zealand hemp or flax.
It is really not a flax at all, but a lily.
It grows wild and requires no cultiva
tion. It is exported in large quanti
ties to be used as twine for harvesting
machines. No other fiber can stand the
strain so well, and our flax is relied on
by harvesters the world over.
"To give you an idea of our wealth,
I may say that, with a population of
800,000 or 900,000 whites and about
41,000 Maoris or natives, our exports
last year were valued at $70,000,000.
"We enjoy as great a degree of lib
erty and of civil order as any country
In the world; and I can .assert without
exaggeration, that in no country, not
even in your great nation, are the peo
ple so well fed, so well housed and so
materially happy.
Not a Single Millionaire
"Yet we have no millionaires in New
Zealand—not one. The wealth is well
diffused. Thus we have avoided many
inconveniences that have distressed
older countries. There is no centraliza
tion of wealth; no sharp drawing of
social lines:.
"Having a small, new country, with
favorable conditions for establishing
things on a fresh basis, we have en
deavored to solve a number of social
questions: and so far as we can judge
from the results in a country of that
size the solutions have been satisfac
tory. The state, for example, interests
itself in many things that would else
where be declared beyond its province.
Not only the postoffice, but the rail
ways and the telegraphs, are under
government control. The state has also
Interfered to prevent what might be
come the abuse of poverty by wealth,
of labor by capital. During* the last
fifteen years, for instance, we have had
no strikes —ever since our boards of
conciliation and arbitration were es
tablished.
"But no one need fear that New Zea
land is becoming socialistic. There is
no intention to interfere with private
property. On the contrary, we try to
encourage by every means the growth
and prosperity of the small capitalist,
believing that his class forms the best
backbone for any community.
Natives Taught Heresy
"And now, coming to the spiritual
conditions in our country, I must re
mind you that for a long time New
Zealand was nobody's land. It was
not until 1840 that it became a British
colony, though missionaries went there
as early as 1814. They did some good
among the natives, but, unfortunately,
they taught the natives heresy, in
structed them in the wrong sort of
Christianity. Soon after the Marist
Fathers began teaching the natives, in
1838, wars broke out between the na
tive tribes and the whites. Large num
bers of the Maoris perished. Hating
Christianity as the religion of their en
emies, many of the natives relapsed
Into paganism.
"During some years, however, the
cause of religion slowly gained. There
are now left, as I said, about 41,000
Maoris. Of these 10,000 are Catholics.
I have 2,000 in my province, and in the
province of Auckland there are 8 000
Auckland is in the North, where the
natives are more numerous—they love
warm weather.
"Of the whites, about one-seventh,
are Catholics4.jnost.of them Irish, with
a sprinkling of Germans. Altogether
there are 105,000 Catholics in New Zea
land. They have four dioceses, four
bishops and an archbishop.^
"Although there is a secular system
of schools maintained by the state, the
Catholics conduct excellent schools
without state aid. And lam happy to
say that in the cities of New Zealand
you can count on your fingers the
Catholic children that attend the state
schools.
State Inspects Catholic Schools
"But we have obtained one thing
from ,the government,_and it may be,
as I hope, the keen edge of the wedge.
The state has undertaken to inspect
our schools officially. We find such in
spection a benefit; it stimulates our
teachers and keeps up the standard of
our schools. The government inspect
ors respect our schools and even sym
pathize with the ability and self-sacri
fice of-'our teachers. -These are all re
ligious—the brothers or sisters of vari
ous orders. Some of our schools have
than those of any government school.
"By- thus providing schools and
teachers at our own expense, we save
the government about- £60,000 —$300,-
--000—every year. We hope that we shall
ultimately get back a part of thi3; one
half of it would satisfy us. With gov
ernment aid to the extent of one-half
our expenses, our schools would in
crease and prosper wonderfully. We
think it manifestly unjust to fine us
£60,000 a year because we teach one
subject more than the state teaches, and
that the most important subject of all
—I mean religion.
"Public sentiment is turning in our
favor upon this point. A wave of dis
content at the attitude of the govern
ment is slowly spreading. People are
contrasting the qualities of the state
school pupils with-the superior refine
ment, the greater moral culture of our
pupils. /
"We shall never divorce religion from
secular education and we are gaining
the sympathy and admiration of our
educational rivals.
"Our Catholic population, as a whole,
is 'practical.' Only among the younger
generation do we notice any indiffer
ence to their religious obligations. Most
of our people attend church with rea
sonable -regularity, and very, very few
fail to observe their Easter duties. Our
church is flourishing." It is growing
faster than (< are the. other churches
about us.
"All -this. 3. am sure, will please you,
because there is nothing that so grati
fies a --true Catholic as the welfare of
his holy faith. So I trust that you will
kindly say a prayer for the church of
New Zealand.. In this hope, I pray, that
all blessings maj^ com? to you and your
beautiful city."
CHARTER COMMISSION
FACES DULL SUMMER
Commissioner Ives Does Not Expect
Body to Accomplish Anything
"It is doubtful if the charter com
mission wilW accomplish anything dur
ing the summer months," said E. C.
Ives, a member of the body, "and it is
also likely that if such is the case it
will be impossible to submit any
amendments at the' fall election.
"The lack of,, interest is due to the
holding that all amendments made
shall be submitted separately. As it
has been agreed that a general revision
of the charter is necessary it would
be useless to submit 1 a long list of
amendments The voters would not
stop to vote on all of them, and as
every voter failing to vote would de
clare against the changes there would
be little hope of securing the neces
sary three-fifths of the total."
On the dates of several recent meet
ings of. the commission a -quorum of
the members has failed to i-espond.
with the result that those who wish to
proceed with the work have become
discouraged. The probability, there
fore, is that an effort will be made to
secure authority from the legislature
during the coming winter to submit all
the amendments in one proposition.
CITIZENS PARTICIPATE
IN SHORT MANHUNT
Herman Schliek Is Chased by Crowd
For Disorderly Conduct
Herman Schliek, who figured in a
sensational fight with two policemen
and who made a daring attempt to es
cape from the conductor of the patrol
wagon while being taken to the police
station six months ago, was the central
figure in an equally sensational man
hunt last evening.
Schliek behaved in a disorderly man
ner in the presence of two young girls
at Sixth and Broadway streets, and
"when their enraged parents attempted
to catch him he ran away towards the
railroad yards. Patrolman Galvln was
called, and several neighbors and spec
tators joined" In the chase. Schliek.
who is a good runner, easily distanced
his pursuers, but they kept after him.
He took refuge among freight cars
and was found after a long search
cowering under a car. He was turned
over to Patrolman Galvin and sent to
the central police station. Schliek was
sentenced to ninety days in the work
house last winter.

THE ST. PAUL-GLOBE. MON®&¥. JULY 11. 1904
CORNER STONE FOR
BARRACKS IS LAID
Salvation Army's New Home In
First Ward Is Formally
Dedicated
Shrill tones of Salvation Army lasses
mingled with the deep bass of the sol
diers of "the Army" in general thanks
giving yesterday afternoon at the lay
ing of the corner stone for tire new
Salvation Army barracks on Payne
avenue.
It was a notable gathering of the re
ligious people of the First , ward,
brought together to witness the cul
mination of long years of arduous ef
fort of the Swedish corps of the Army
stationed on Payne avenue. A hand
some new building has been practically
completed and the corner stone was
laid yesterday afternoon by Robert A.
Smith, mayor of St. Paul. Incidentally,
Mayor Smith paid a handsome tribute
to the good work being done by the
Salvation Army in St. Paul in"general
and made special reference to the suc
cess that has crowned the sixteen
years' work of the Swedish corps In
the First ward.
The corner stone was laid in the
presence of fully a thousand people,
and fully as many more were at the
building during the afternoon, but, un
able to gain entrance, went away.
The new barracks, located at 1011
Payne avenue, occupies a building con
structed along lines resembling a cita
del. The front elevation is two stories,
with four rooms for the officers on the
second floor. The main auditorium of
the building, which in general dimen
sions is 90 by 36 feet, has a seating ca
pacity of 400, and is supplied with an
arched nineteen-foot ceiling. It is
heated by furnace, and haa splendid
acoustic -properties. At the rear is a
small room to be used as a kitchen.
Completed, the barracks will cost ap
proximately $6,000, and "it Is expected
to complete it with a debt of less than
half its cost against it. The collection
taken yesterday was more tfiati $100,
Mayor Smith's! check being the largest
individual gift received.
Corner Stone Laid by Mayor
The ceremony of laying the corner
stone was performed by Mayor Smith
shortly after 5 o'clock in the presence
of a great crowd, and was exceedingly
simple. The mayor was assisted by
the officers of the Army and -the con
tractors, Louis Johnson and C. A.
Bloom.
An inspiring meeting was held in the
new barracks preceding the corner
stone laying ceremonies. Brig. J. Jen
kins, of Minneapolis, provincial officer
for the province of the Northwest, ac
companied by his staff, was present,
and, as the head of the Army in Min
nesota, was in charge of the meeting.
Musie>was provided by the band of
Corps No. 2, St. Paul, and the band
of Corps No. 1, Minneapolis,"'"and by
the string band of the Swedish.-<:orps
in charge of the Payne avenue work.
Staff Capt. Chris. Christophertfgh,"Of
the Scandinavian Army aorps, was
master of ceremonies.
Mayor Smith spoke of the Salvation
Army work in St. Paul.
"You remember, and I remember,"
the mayor said, "when the
Army first began its work iuTJ^t/Paul.
It certainly had a hard tlmerand was
subject to persecutions until yonr
members appealed to me for "effective
police protection. I gave you .protec
tion, but today you need no such thing
as protection. Your conduct and your
work have been such that the people
of St. -Paul, irrespective of creed or
denomination, give you protection, for
they know what a noble work you are
doing in uplifting fallen humanity and
making the dark spots in life more
pleasant."
Work of the Army
Brig. Jenkins spoke at some length
on the general work of the Salvation
Army throughout the world, and said
that the Army now owns property val
ued at $2,000,000 in the United States.
He spoke of the great international
congress now in session in London,
and declared that throughout the world
the Army had gained not only the re
spect of many who in its earlier -days
had opposed it, but had in many in
stances secured the co-operation ~t>f
those who haa at first failed to esti
mate its benefits.
Addresses were given in Scandinavi
an by Rev. Carl Carlson, pastor of the
Gustavus Adolphus Swedish Lutheran
church; Rev. O. P. Peterson, pastor of
the First Swedish Baptist church, and
by Rev. T. J. Knutesen, pastor of the
Norwegian Congregational church.
It is expected to open the barracks
complete on Aug. 24, when a number of
Salvation Army celebrities will be pres
ent. At that time the present bar
racks, No. 913 Payne avenue, where
the Army has been stationed for the
past sixteen years, will be vacated for
fhe new. The Scandinavian corps has
at present a membership of thirty, and
has outgrown its old quarters.

he alleges is due him for the grading
of Forest street, along which it was
proposed to construct the extension of
the LaTayette street" railway line to
Phalen park.
Linnan failed to complete the work
until some months after the specified
time, with the result that the penalty
imposed by a provision in the contract
more than consumes the $3,000 re
maining due. If Linnan seeks' tb"re

KID CURRY'S LAST
BULLET ENDS GANG
Dead Desperado Is Identified
as the Noted Train
Robber
Harvey Logan, better known as Kid
Curry, one of the most notorious and
most desperate train and bank robbers
in the country, was killed last month
in Colorado by a posse that was pur
suing him and his two pals, the identi
fication of the dead man having just
been positively made in Knoxville,
Term., where he was in jail some time,
and from other sources.
It had been previously believed that
the dead man was,.another noted des
perado, but the positive identification
has set all doubt at rest, thereby
finally cleaning- up the gang that
robbed the Great .Northern express at
Wagner, Mont., July 3, 1902, and car
ried off $41,000 in unsigned bank bills
consigned to national banks in Helena,
Mont.
Although Logan's career was largely
made up of desperate deeds, the rob
bery of the Great Northern attracted
the most attention. For participation
in this crime Logan was arrested near
Knoxville, Term., in the fall of 1902,
and after a trial in the United States
court was sentenced to twenty years'
penal servitude. After sentence he
made a sensational escape from cus
tody, and his whereabouts from that
time until it became known that he
had been killed was a mystery to the
officers. The large rewards offered
for his capture by the Great Northern,
the Union Pacific and many other cor
porations, as well as the substantial
amount offered by Sheriff Cox. of
Knoxville, failed to produce the body
of the bandit.
Other Members of Gang Cared For
O. C. Hanks, alias Cajnilly Haup.
Deaf Charley, etc., and Ben Kilpatrick,
a Texan, concerned in the Great
Northern holdup, were disposed of.
Kilpatrick was arrested in St. Louis
Nov. 5. 1901, and was sent to the
Leavenworth prison for fifteen years.
Hanks resisted arrest in San Antonio,
Tex., and was shot and killed. A large
proportion of the missing bills were
recovered. The numbers and denomi
nations of the bills were so well ad
vertised that the desperadoes found
great difficulty in disposing of them,
although they had cleverly forged the
signatures of the officers of the banks
to which the bills had been shipped.
The crime that cost the noted out
law his life occurred near Parachute,
Col.. June 7, when three men held up
the Denver & Rio Grande express. The
following day a posse overtook the
three robbers and in the running fight
that occurred one of the robbers was
so badly wounded that'he fell from
his horse.
"Are you hurt, T*n?" the officers
heard one of the pals of the wounded
man call.
"It's all up with me and I'll end the
wrhole thing." was the answer, where
upon the desperado pulled his six
shooter and put a bullet through his
brain, dying instantly. The other two
men escaped, but their identity is
known.
Harvey Logan, also known as Kid
Curry, was born in Dodson, Mo., a
sijburb of Kansas City, but while quite
young went to Texas and became a
cowboy. His reputation as a rustler
became such that the stockmen drove
him from the country. Going to Ne
vada he robbed the Winnemucca
(New) bank of $35,000. In this job he
was assisted by George Parker an-.l
Harry Longbaugh. The three were
captured, but Logan made a daring
escape from jail and went to Wyom
ing. With assistance he held up and
robbed the express car on the Union
Pacific near Wilcox. In an effort to
arrest Logan for the crime near Cas
per, Wyo., Joseph Hazen, sheriff of
Converse county, lost his life. Logan
fired the fatatl shot.
The commission of this crime caused
Logan to move on to Montana, and he
was next heard from in Landusky,
Mont. There he killed the founder of
the town. Pike Landusky, this crime
occurring Christmas day, 1894. and
caused the de&perado to leave the state.
Although a large number of offenses
"were committed in various sections of
the West during the next year or two.
in which it was supposed that he was
concerned, it was found impossible to
trace a specific offense to him until the
hold-up of the Great Northern train in
1902.
The Logan family produced two oth
er desperadoes, brothers of Harvey.
George and Lonni'e Logan, both of
whom also want by the names of Cur
ry, died with their boots on, refusing
to surrender. Although they were run
ning a saloon in a Montana mining
camp, they were suspected of being
implicated in some of the crimes of
Harvey, their brother. Before the of
ficers could arrest them they sold their
business and left the country. Lonnie
Logan was located at his old home in
Dodson, Mo., July 17, 1900, and in at
tempting to make his escape was shot.
George Logan was located at Green
river Utah, March 28, 1900, and also
resisted arrest. In a running fight he
was killed by a posse that pursued.
The death of Harvey Logan wipes out
the immediate Logan family..
The identification of the «cad rob
ber was secured through the Pinkerton
detective agency, and news of the fact
was yesterday conveyed to O. O. Rin
dal, superintendent of the local agency,
it being stated that, while Logan had
been disposed of, the other notorious
character first supposed to be the dead
man is still alive and at large.
Has Pictures of Curry
KNOXVILLE, Term., July 10.—Low
ell F. Spence, a dectective employed by
a Chicago agency, has returned to Chi
cago after securing local identifica
tions of two pictures, which he had in
his possession, supposed to be photo
graphs of the supposed Montana bandit
and train robber, Harvey Logan, alias
Kid Curry.
Early on the morning of July 8, a
gang held up a Denver & Rio Grande
train, near Parachute, Col., but after
blowing two safes and shooting one
[ railway employe they secured only $10.
A posse of cowboys was at once or
ganized and chase given. In the chase
one of the bandits was shot from his
horse by a cowboy, and as soon as he
fell ~was seen to shoot himself through
the head. Pictures were taken of the
dead man. Believing the photos to be
those of Logan, the sheriff came here
to identify the bandit. Sheriff Fox,
from whom Logan escaped positively
identifies the photographs as those of
Logan. So did Jailer Thomas Bell,
whom Logan held up at the point of a
pistol while escaping from jail. The
outstanding reward for the bandit is
variously estimated at between $18,000
and $30,000. It is probable that the re
mains will be exhumed and further
identification established, as Logan had
many bullet wounds on his body.
When he escaped from the Knox
county jail he was under sentence of
some twenty years for bringing into
the state and passing unsigned notes
of the Bank of Montana, $40,000 worth
of which he and his gang secured in a
Great Northern express holdup near/
Wagner. Before he was : captured h,ere
he shot two policemen, but they recov
ered.
ARCHIE HAS GROUCH
Public Baths Bear Swats His
Sister Teddie
Archie, the Harriet island bear con
tinues to display his* wicked temper,
yesterday throwing his mate, who hap
pens also to be his sister, from the top
of the tree in their cage.
The female bear, called Teddie. first
climbed the tree, and was followed by
Archie. The latter took unkindly to the
idea that Teddie was attracting so
much attention, and exercising his
greater strength hurled her from the
tree by a powerful blow. Teddie land
ed on the concrete floor with a thud
and dragged herself to a corner of the
cage. Sh_e escaped without broken
bones.
Not satisfied with this performance
Archie growled loudly and struck the
roof of the cage several blows. As the
roof showed no signs of giving way he
desisted. Climbing down the tree he
attacked the bars. These proved too
strong for him, however, but he spent
some time^ in otherwise demonstrating
the fact that he was in bad humor.
The frequent rains of late have made
the island the most popular early
morning resort in the' city, thousands
upon thousands of mushrooms being
gathered daily. The dainty product
goes to the first comers, but at no time
during the past week has the entire
amount been taken, there yesterday re
maining innumerable sun-burned
shoots to be trampled by the crowd.
The growth of the mushrooms is due
to the dumping on the island of a large
amount of street sweepings, and it is
claimed that the production will in
crease yearly for some time. The
growth of the mushrooms is greatest
on the older part of the island, and if
they are to be gathered should be tak
en before the sun gets hot.
AFTER SCHOOL SITE
First and Second Warders Pick
Locations
Although, the bonds for the erection
of the new high school in the eastern
part of the city have not yet been
voted, it is evident that there will be
some difficulty in choosing a location.
The Second ward will come forward
with a claim that the'best location for
the school is somewhere in the vicin
ity of Arcade and Minnehaha streets,
while many of the TMrst warders be
lieve the proper location is somewhere
near Minnehaha and Burr streets.
The choice of the-location lies with
Mayor Smith and President Holman,
of the board of school inspectors, and
it is altogether likely that the choice
will be made in favor of one of the two
locations,, mentioned. _
The question as to the issue of the
bonds will not come in :the regular
course until July, when the assembly
holds its next regular session, and it is
not likely that the board of aldermen
will act until the first Tuesday in Au
gust. The resolution authorizing the
issuance of the bonds is so worded that
the school inspectors will be compell
ed to pay for the site out of its own
funds, there being no provision that
the entire amount be expended for
school buildings.
BOARD OF PARDONS
WILL MEET TODAY
Heavy Calendar of Cases Will Be Con
sidered at Quarterly Meeting
The state board of pardons at the
state capitol today will consider at its
quarterly meeting one of the heaviest
calendars of cases.in its experience.
The board, which consists of Gov. S. R.
Van Sant, Chief Justice C. M. Start
and Attorney General W. J. Donahow
er, has a calendar of twenty-five cases,
a number of them involving the future
of criminals who have sinned heavily
against the law and whom the courts
have sentenced to long terms in the
state prison at Stillwater.
The case of William Chounard, the
Cass Lake murderer, who asks a com
mutation from hanging to life impris
onment, wj.ll; .be considered Tuesday,
and among the other cases are those of
the four Great Northern train robbers,
Link Thayer, Homer Minot, Charles
Hoffman-=and James- Hall, who have
served five years of nineteen-year sen
tences; 'James G. Nugent, convicted in
Wright county of murder in 1894 and
sent up for life, and Fred Whittaker,
sentenced in 1896 to seventeen years
for highway robbery committed in SL
Paul.
The session of the board of pardons
promises to be one of the busiest since
the substitution of the pardoning board
for the executive in exercising clem
ency in the cases of men convicted of
crimes against the commonwealth.

FRIENDS IDENTIFY
FOREST LAKE VICTIM
Andrew Brown, of St. Paul, the
Man Who Fell From Boat
Saturday
Andrew Brown, 599 Edmund street,
was the man drowned in Forest lake
Saturday. The body was recovered
yesterday afternoon shortly before S
o'clock and was brought to St. Paul
last night. Brown was identified by
his brother-in-law, E. J. Lindquist, of
Montevideo, Minn., and a former .
neighbor, Albert Anderson, 1093 Stin
son street, who saw the report of the '
drowning in the Sunday Globe and
went to the lake to search for the
body.
Brown left home Saturday morning;
telling his wife he would return in the
evening. He reached the lake at 11
o'clock and engaged a boat from John i
O. Boehm and went out upon the wa
ter. Early in the afternoon he was
discovered asleep in the boat by Vic
tor Berggren, of Forest Lake, and
when awakened became angry and told j
Berggren to '-mind his own business."
Shortly after that a man on shore saw
him fall from the boat into the water
but no effort was made to rescue hi in.
About 3 o'clock in the afternoon the
empty boat, with a black Fedora hat
floating alongside it, was found drift
ing on the water.
Search Made for Body
A search for the body was commenc
ed. Yesterday morning Lindquist and
Anderson arrived and, satisfied by the
description of the man given by Boehm
that he was Brown, aided in the
search. Grappling hooks and dynamite
was used without success, until short
ly before 5 o'clock last evening, when
the body was found by a party in
cluding J. J. Swenson, Andrew Eng
quist and Eric Berggren, of Forest
Lake, and Ernest Bjorklund, 533 Min
nehaha street. Coroner Freleigh was
notified and after an investigation the
body was brought to St. Paul.
Brown was a resident of St. Paul for
twenty-five years, and until recently
had been employed in the car repair
department of the Northern Pacific
shops at Como. He resided for many
years in a cottage of his own at Lex
ington and Como avenues, having been
the first settler in that part of the city.
A few weeks ago he resigned his po
sition in the shops, traded his house
for a farm in Osceola, Wis., and mov
ed his family to the new home.
Encountered Misfortune
Misfortune overtook him immedi
ately after starting in the farming en
terprise. On his way from the rail
way station to the country place he
suffered a sunstroke, which rendered
him incapable of working on the farm.
He became discouraged, disposed of
the farm and moved back into St. Paul,
engaging the house at 599 Edmund
street, which the family took posses
sion of only last Thursday.
His friends became alarmed* a^ his
dejected demeanor, and his sister-in
law, Mrs. Lindquist, 833 Rondo street,
asked her brother residing at Monte
video to come to St. Paul to take
Brown to his home, in the hope that
the change would relieve his mind.
Lindquist arrived in St. Paul Saturday
night, and when the report of the mys
terious drowning at Forest Lake was
read at the Lindquist home 'yesterday
morning it was suspected thiat Brown
was the man.
Brown was forty-eight years old and
was a native of Sweden. He is sur
vived by his wife and one daughter,
seventeen years old. He was a reeni'
ber of the A. O. U. W.

TUNING A PHYSICIAN
He Got Out, and Then in Tune
If coffee has you where your nerves
demand it each morning you have a
wreck ahead sure.
Think back for a year and notice how
the sick spells grow on you instead of
getting less.
You are running into nervous pros
tration or some fixed disease absolutely
certain, and when it suddenly takes full
possession you will find nothing, abso
lutely nothing, in drugs that will heal
you. Nature demands penalty for the
daily hurt to the nerve centers by cof-'
fee, and you must pay the full price.
A physician of Cornwall, Ont., says
of himself: "For years coffee was to
me what rum is to the toper, but I kept
getting worse and worse in health.
"I suffered from continuous nervous
twitching, insomnia, restless, miserable
nights, nerves all gone. Craving for
coffee was intense, but it put me lower
and lower in health. Something must
be done, so I tried leaving off the cof
fee and using Postum Food Coffee. The
first trial wife and I were both disgust
ed, for we were careless in brewing it,
but we went carefully into the subject
of preparing Postum and found we had
only allowed it to brew about five min
ute, and that won't make good Postum.
So next time it was boiled full fifteen
minutes after boiling began, then serv
ed with good cream and it was tooth
some and delicious. That marked the
beginning of my return to health. Now
I sleep well, the old tVitching has dis
appeared, and. in short, lam well aghin.
My good wife has also been much ben
efited by leaving off coffee and using
Postum Food Coffee. We have aban
doned the old coffee for all time." Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
There's a reason why po many intel
ligent people and physicians drink
Postum in place of ordinary coffee.
