BERT NEY DEAD.
He Had Many Friends and Not an
Enemy

Bert Ney, who had been confined to
his bed for four months by an ill
ness which it was anticipated
latterly would cause his death,
was relieved of his sufferings
yesterday morning, quietly passing
away few minutes before 9 o'clock.
His remains, accompanied by the de-
voted wife who has been by his bed
side constantly during the greater
period of his sickness will be
shipped this afternoon to Utica, n. Y,
for interment. Mr.. Ney came to Min
neapolis little over.a year ago as man
ager of the Columbia restaurant, but
last fall embarked in business for him
self. Previously he had conducted the
restaurant in connection with the
Hotel Astoria, at st. Paul, and was
known as a capable and experienced
man in his line of business. Person
ally he was very popular and during
his short residence in the Twin Cities
had made many friends. He was the
soul of geniality, and his witty sayings
have caused many to laugh
who will learn of his death with keen
regret. The cause of his sickness was,
primarily imflammatory rheumatism
but in the latter stages dropsy devel-
oped, which was the ultimate cause of
his death. He was fifty-tive years old

KATE EDDY ARRIVES.

arrived yesterday and is at the
Windsor house. The lady who holds
sweet converse with the spooks of the

A FEARFUL FALL.
Prof Baldwin to Drop Two Miles
With a Parachute

Prof. j. S. Baldwin, who makes one of
his great leaps from balloon in Min
neapolis next Wednesday, is probably
the greatest balloonist that ever lived.
Although but 2S years old, he has made
for himself national reputation, and
caused thousands of people to stand in
awe as he makes his frightful leap from
the heavens to earth.
To most people the feat of man as
cending to height of 10000 feet. or
nearly two miles, and then launching
himself into space is fooIhardy one and
his chances for landing safely on mother
earth do not seem to be one in a million.
He himself says it is but scientific
effect, depending upon personal daring.

In his jumps from the clouds he has
never met with an accident, yet it is, of
course. but a question of time when he
will kill himself.

he has reached height of 10000 feet. he

NOT DOWN ON THE BILLS.

Manager Sterling, of the Peoples the
alter, explains that the rocking given to
the ship I'll. M. S. Pinafore, is done by
machinery in the basement, which
moves the whole house, thus enabling
the singers to pitch their voices prop
erly.
A rival press agent writes that if Prof.
Baldwin will take Hairless Davis up in
his balloon and ''drop him from the
clouds it will be the first time on rec
ord that the talented journalist has ever
taken tumble to himself.
The Society for the Suppression of
Vice should be on the alert. A man
named Johnson threatens to expose
Kate Eddy, the medium, in full view of
an audience, at the Washington rink,
Sunday night.
The backwardness of spring may per-
haps be attributed to the revival of
Pinafore, roller coasting, and cover the

The Dairy Inspectors Doing Good
Work---Another Conviction.
For the present, until the supreme
court decides the case appealed to test
the law, the prosecutions of the milk
vendors will take rest. r. G. Judson,
the assistant dairy commissioner, feels
satisfied with his work and the public
will doubtless rise up and call his
name blessed if he accomplishes
the results at which he is striv-
ing. lie says county Attorney Davis
and Mr.. Jameson have done great work
and deserve much praise. In all, thir-
ty-two indictments have been secured,
and in no case has the state failed to
secure conviction. Yesterdays case
was that of John H. Miller, dairyman
on Third avenue south, between Forty
fourth and Forty-fifth streets, which
was brought to test the stable law. 1t
was proved that his COWS were crowded,
and not well cared for, and the court
ordered fine of $50. Turner, the dairy
man who was released on bail of
$500, has jumped it and gone to
Wisconsin. He had been selling pure
Jersey milk in bottles at cents quart.
Upon examination it was found to have
been cOlored with carrot water, thick
ened with glycerine and preserved with
boracic acid.
The inspectors find that Swimming the
milk is the commOneSt form of adulter-
ating it, and they will stop the practice
If it takes all summer and results in the
arrest of every milkman in the county.
