Dr. Ober while Temporarily Insane
Creates Some Excitement.
''Who appointed you health officer? who
signed your commission"
The above words were addressed TO
Health Officer Jones yesterday afternoon as
he sat at his desk writing. Looking up, he
found rather tall man, well dressed. lean
ing over him and glazing down upon him
with wild eyes and flushed face. The APP
pearance of the man routed the doctor for a
minute, but quickly recovering himself he
replied: What authority have you for
asking me that question:"
Then you refuse to answer me-" con-
tii1ued the man. "I'll fix you. In less
than five minutes I'll have you before the
palace of justice" and with this he opened
the door and rushed out. 1t didn't occur to
theedoetOr until the man had left, that he
was insane and thinking he might return
and do some damage, he got policeman to
stand watch IN the Office, but the man
didn't return. After leaving the Office he
rushed to the Grand opera house, and jump
ing into Manager SCOTS office he cried
''whO's manager of this house?"
Just then Mr.. Scott came in, and the man
seeing him, hastily inquired: "Who are

Scott. who sat in the office. and shaking his
finger at her said: Warn that man not to
come in there again." and in a twinkling
he was gone. All this had taken place in
SO short space of time that Lew Scott
didn't catch good square breath until the
man had disappeared. He took off his tall
hat, scratched his head and began to wonder
what in hadeS the fellow was driving at.
The wild-eyed man next appeared at the
union depot, where he rushed through the
door and pushing his way through the
crowd went up to man who was buried

from his hands, informed the surprised
reader that he couldn't go out on that train.

through the crowd he sped away i'm the d.

and caught him. When asked what the
matter was. the man replied that he had
become crazy and gave his name as DR.. S.

county Jail. DIR. Ober has been resident
of theGity for some time, and is subject to

SUSPECTED OF BLACKmAIL.
John j. Harvey. nm Alleged Detec-
tive Arrested by officer Conroy.


Officer Conroy arrested John j. Harvey
last night, and placed the charge ''sus-
pected of blackmair' opposite his name
on the tab, The stories told by the
prisoner and the officer differ some
what. Hrvey claims to be a
member of the National Detective
association, with headquarters in room 30
Gilfllan block, and papers found on his per
son would seem to corroborate the statement.
He said that he had been sent out by the
manager of the association to watch a man
by the name OF Fred w. Lilley, employed
as cook at the Merchants restaurant.
Lilley's wife suspected him of being to fa-
mliar with other women, and re-
sorted to the detective agency for
proof. Last night Harvey and
Lilley started out together and the latter
soon found a woman on the street and ac-
companied her to house on Fifth street,
near jackson, the front of which is occu-
pied as barber shop. Harvey refused 10
go in. and told Officer ConrOy, who came
up, that he wanted to arrest Lilley if posi-
bic while occupying the same bed with the
woman. At this point the stories of the
officer and Harvey differ Har-
vey says the officer wanted him
TO 90 in and retire with a woman and he
would come in and pull" the house, but
would let him go when he got OUTSIDE. The
officers says Harvey told him that he would
go in and retire, and wanted him to pulp
the house, arrest Lilley and let him (Har-
vey) go when they got outside. While
they were talking Sergt. Roleau came
along. and, after talking with
Harvey a few minutes, told
Conroy to put him under ar
rest for blackmail Harvey says Lilley
is bad man with women, and last summer
attempted to induce fourteen-year-old girl
to go TO Montana with him. Harvey car
ried receipt when arrested. for SO for de-
tective services rendered, signed by Carrie
Lilley. There was some doubt expressed
that the officer had any authority TO arrest
man on the charge of suspicion of black
mail without warrant.

The ST. PauI Dramatic Club May
Build One.


Build One.
Leading members of the st. Paul ORA
matte club met at the chamber OF commerce
Yesterday at noon, in response to call,
for the purpose Of consulting on the advls-
ability of erecting private theater for the
various entertainments given by the club.
Several available lots were proposed
and the merits of each discussed,
The ST. Paul Dramatic club has been in
existence for seven or eight years, and is one
that furnishes some of the most agreeable
entertainments given within the city. Thus
far, it has, for the most part, given its en-
tertainments i'll the athen8um, and, Wnne
it is not designed as money-maklng lnstl-
tuition, its receipts have Overrun its eX-
penses several hundred dollars each year,
so that now it has, without any effort, got
quite handsome sum in the treasury.
For a year or more some of the members
have been very anxious to have the organi-
cation take steps to secure building Of its
own that would be completely under its
own control and management. when 1t
could feel that it had home. With this
idea i'm view some of the members. nearly
or quite year ago, secured the refusal OF
the German Lutheran church. on the south
west corner of Wabasha and Tenth streets,
with view of putting in two or three
stores on the first floor for lent and lifting
up the upper part with a hall, stage and
gallery. The whole cost, it was estimated.
would be about $40, 900. This proposition
was discussed for two or three months and
finally abandoned, the members
HAVING HARDLY COURAGE
enough To go into it, and being in serious
doubt as to the ACCESSIBILITY of assuming so
great liability. Now nearly the same propo-
sition is again brought to the consideration
of the members of the dramatic club. 1t is
now proposed to secure lot and erect
building which shall in all respects meet the
requiem ents of the club. The require
ments are an auditorium with a seating
capacity of 500 or 600 people, fiat door
like that of the Athen8um for dancing, a
stage suitable for theatrical entertainments,
and a basement suitable for billiard tables.
gymnasium, etc, etc. The lot has not
been selected, but the club knows of an
excellent location exactly suitable for the
purposes required, which can be had on
reasonable terms, and some Of the most
enthusiastic members have had elegant
plans drawn. The building, according to
these plans, is very ornamental, with a very
handsome front. The interior of the build
ing as shown by the plan, is arranged as
above described. No conclusion was
reached yesterday. but a meeting of the
members of the club is to be called at once
to deliberate upon the matter.
