"WOW, THU IL WFUL."
An Unsophisticated Thief Ste ais
Judge Emery's Buffalo Robe.

Judge Emery was very angry last
night. A bran new carriage robe, for
which his honor had just plankeu down
twenty-seven good, hard-earned dollars,
had been stolen. If the man had stopped
the judge on the street and threatened
to blow his head Off unless he
pulled off his Overcoat and gave
it to him the Judge would
have had some respect for the
''swiped'' his s27 laprobe. He thinks
he was the meanest kind of a thief, and
if he should be captured he will-learn
to leave other peoples property alone,
for while at least. About o'clock
yesterday afternoon Mrs. Emery drove
to her mothers house at 1419 Stevens
avenue. After hitehing the horse to a
convenient post she went inside. and,
although she renamed only a short
time, when she came out some
one had appropriated the hand
some plush-lined robe which she
had left in the buggy. The judge in
formed the police of his loss, and spe-
cial effort will be made to capture fine
thief. Shortly before o'clock Officer
York arrested man for stealing robe
from buggy at Fourth and Hennepin
avenues ard locked him up in the CEN
tral station. When the judge looked at
the robe which was found in the fell
lows possession. he shook his head and
sadly exclaimed: mo, that robe doesn't
belong to me-" Officer York will az
raign his prisoner in the municipal
court tomorrow.

doctor told how she would grow TO be a
hunehback, and it was too much for
him, though he was no relative of the
little sufferer. AS the child and her
mother prepared to leave, the doctor
turned to the reporter with the words:

There are many philanthrople

much il is really needed and they VIII
give; they can't help it. Just think of
it, that five dollars given by that fellow
has saved life. This is no exceptional
case; there are just such. and more pit

of these cases die when not treated.
and when they are treated only five per
cent die. We can give our time and
medicine and cheap appliances. but
when it comes to buying expensive APP
paratus We must look to private charity
for aid
The physician spoke very earnestly.
Doubtless he was deeply impressed with
seeing so many cases of suffering and
being forced to turn away so many
pitiable little ones with the doom of life
long defOrmity hanging over them with
an unrelenting certainty, when little
money, that many good people of Min
neapOlis would gladly give if they knew
the want, would prevent further de-
fOrmity. and possibly effect cure. Yet
his words do not portray the picture
wildly. 1t is necessary TO stand in the
presence of the victim of the disease
and have the awful reality flashed upon
one TO understand the real circum-
stances.

diseases of the eye and ear, over which
DR.. F. Airport and DR.. II. E. Holmes

His Rest.
Selah Matthews, for several years city
clerk of Minneapolis. died at his resi-
dence in the Stiles-Lindley block early
last evening. His death was due to
blood poisoning. About two months
ago Mr.. Matthews fell aud hurt his
ankle. Two weeks ago his leg became so
painful that he could not stand on it
and he went to bed. 1t was evident to
his physicians that blood poisoning had
set in, aud everything that science
could suggest to save him was done,
but without avail. On Monday the
ply sieians gave up all hope of saving
him, and his friends from out
of town were summoned He was
tenderly nursed during his last illness
by his wife and daughter. Mr.. Matthews
was fifty-nine years old. When he first
came to Minneapolis he occupied posi-
ton on the Milwaukee road as time
keeper In the shops, and held that posi-
ton when elected city clerk. During
the war he acted as quartermaster of

He was brought into considerable
prominence lately through the divorce
proceedings which were commenced by
his wife, who charged nm with cruelty

before Judge Rea and created some

blamed the attorney for his wife with
trying to cause a separation. The court
refused TO grant the decree.

The Bondhoiders Want Their In

Judge Young heard arguments yes
ter day on motion made by the attor-
heys of Henry Siehert and the Fidelity
company, of Philadelphia. for an order
on the receiver of the Minneapolis g
st. Louis road to pay them interest on
their bonds. 1t was argued that the
last report of the receiver showed a
balance of $4,000 in his hands
over the amount necessary to
pay this interest. Judge Young
thought that very likely the road would
need the money in case the crossings
matters were settled, but the case was
formally.put over until Saturday next.
He said that if the parties would pre-
sent a tabulated statement of the re-
ceiver's report at that time, showing
the facts to be as they stated, he would
give them an order. Attorney Clark,
representing the st. Louis road, said
that the council railway committee had
made a proposition to the railroad
which was practically accepted, and Il
think" said he, ''that this matter will
be settled within six mOnths.D

the test to see if the glasses with which
he had been furnished were the proper
ones to reStHre his falling vision.
Twenty-Five cases had Just been treated
or examined, and several of them fur
niShed with glasses. DR.. Airport eX-
planned how the dispensary, of which
DR.. Abbot is president, had been in OPP
Grafton for little over year, and how
there were at the present time about 200
patients day receiving help. The SyS-
tenn adopted was simple one. Cards
were given the applicants In the outer
waiting room. it being there decided to
which of the five departments the caller
would find treatment for his special dis
ease.
The Ladies' auxiliary, composed of a
number of good women, who see the
practical good they can do, manages to
raise enough money to pay for the
simple drugs and appliances that are
necessary. In every department there
is a need for more than this, however.
Each of the doctors explain how they
might permanently cure worthy patients
who were now hopeless with some vital
disease, if they could only have some
place in which bed and care could be
furnished for few weeks. DR.. Airport
told how he had that day turned away a
man whom he knew to be hard work
ing fellow. who had suddenly become
almost blind.
Il could have cured him." said the
doctor, eff could have put him in a
bed where l could visit him daily, but
he had no such place, nor had the money
with which to pay for 1t. What we want
now is to get rich people to donate
money to endoW beds in some hospital.
With four or five beds we would be we'll
equipped, and four or five rich men could
endOw them and never feel the eX-
pense."
The doctor thought that no better use
could be made of the $500 left from the
JohnstOwn fund than to use it in this
manner.
The other apartments were visited in
turn, and each one showed that there
were many calls upon it for help. The
corridor into which the rooms opened
was crowded with people awaiting their
turn. The faces seen there were mostly
good faces, and it was easy to believe
that those asking for aid were worthy
persons who had been reduced by mis-
fortune and disease from better circum-
stances. They did not look like pauperS,
nor were they treated as such.
In the general medicine dlSpensary
and department for the treatment of i'll
ternaI diseases there was a busy scene
and many callers. Here economy is
constantly necessary in dealing out
costly drugs, and the physicians in
charge say that they are often compelled
to give cheaper and less etfectual med
icine where costly one is needed. DR..
Hunter and DR.. Staples are in charge of
this department.
Another busy department is that of
the diseases of the nose and throat, and
which is in charge of DR.. W. 5. Laton
and DR.. E. A. Edholm. DIR. Abbott is
in charge of the department for the
treatment of women. In no city is
dispensary presided over by more eff
cient staff of specialists.

The scene which followed The chapel
exercises Friday morning was one of
the widest hilarity. The last announce

his hand, dismissing the audience, the
chapel doors swung open. Each of the

up over the heads of the bouncers he

think that the life of a cOllegian
is one continuous round of such dissipa-
ton. But there is another side and one
which is by far the more common at this
particular time.

Peter Hagen, an old resident of Min

nue.. between Fifth and Sixth
streets, was struck by a train
on the Manitoba road at the
university station last night and in
stantly killed. 1t is supposed that Mr..
Hagen was walking along the track,
when he was bewildered by the head
light of an engine and struck down. The
body was discovered by the engineer
on the short line train, which arrived in
Minneapolis at 1920. Coroner Towers
viewed the body and ordered its removal
to Gleason & Byorum's morgue. The
deceased was employed in the Milwau-
kee car shops. and is spoken of as a
sober and industrious man. He was
about fOrGy-five years old, and leaves a

BORN IN THE ARMS OF THE HAUT
BEAU.
Distressed Barb: Here, take this kid
quick
The seniors are likely to have an
other taste of politics before long. 1t
comes about in this way: At the be-
ginning of the year the anti-fraternity
men of the senior class formed close
union and called themselves the Haut
BeauX club. They controlled a major
ity vote of the class and so elected one
of their members president and many
others to minor offices. Now Mr.. Presi-
dent and the king of the Ho BoS"
have,in foot ball phraseology, tackled
Beta Theta Pi, and their former con-
stituents are mourning over misplaced
confidence. Under the circumstances
it is hardly expected that Milton Rex
will care to retain the presidency of the
class, and his resignation is looked for
in the near future.
The above facts throw some light on
the following notice which was posted
on the bulletin board yesterday after
noon: Lost: A Milton Please re-
turn to the HO Bo club"
