STRANGELY DISAPPEARED.
w. I'll. KemphIer Believed to Have
Met With Foul Play.

His friends are anxiously inquiring,
where is VIII. Kemphler? He has mys-
terIously disappeared. He has not
been seen since late Tuesday after
noon.
Kemphler is a cigar dealer, his place
of business being COL Washington ave-
nue. south. Since his disappearance his
business has been taken care OF by
Calvin Barber, his clerk, but no WORD
has been received from him. On tues
day, when nothing unusual seemed to
be the matter with him, he LETT the
store along toward evening, saying that
he would go home to supper and that
he would not return, as he intended
taking a young. lady to tne
on Fifth street, opposite the
iail. but did not 20 near his boarding
place. at Sixth avenue south and Fourth
street. Nor did he go to the theater.
Not a sight of him has been had by any
one acquainted with him since he left
his room. The case has been reported
to the police and dlligent search is be-
Ing made for him.
One theory for the disappearance
and the only one yet advanced-ls that
Kempher was waylaid and robbed Tues
day night and his body secreted. All
day Monday and nearly all day TUESDAY,
he was collecting, andis said to have had
more than $500 on his person at the time
Of the disappearance. His business Is
very prosperous, and his Indebtedness,
mostly for tobaccos, will not exceed $3.50
or 5000, and could have been paid at any
time. Kemphler is about forty years
old and bachelor. He has no bad hab-
it's, and his friends are convinced some
misfortune has overtaken him. His
business relations were good so far as
known. He has been at his present To-
cation about ten years, and everything
connected with his establishment is all
right

Using the IIymph.

Yesterday afternoon Daniel Q'Con-
nor, a son of John A. OConner. man
ager of S. E. Olsen, was taken to st.
.Mary's hospital for the purpose of re-
ceiying the Koch lymph treatment. The
young gentleman has suffered from con-
sumption for some time. and eagerly
embraced the first opportunity to exper-
iment with the discovery Of the famous
Berlin physician. The operation OF in
jecting the lymph into the person of
Mr.. O'Conner was performed by Drs.
Bayard, Anderson and Stewart, and
will be repeated as often as necessary
to assure conclusive trial. Up to IL
O'Clock last night the patients temper
ature arose but one degree. The case
will be watched with much interest by
local physicians and persons interested
in the life-savlng qualities of Koch's
lymph.

elected; vice president, t. P. A. Howe;

shenandoah" Undoubtedly the great
est war drama ever written, will be seen
for the first time in this city at the

excel any of Mr.. Towards previous eff
forts. The war incidents include the
reading of the enemy's signals from
Three Top mountain, and the CONVEX
sion of a rout into victory by Sheridan
after his famous ride. In addition TO
the regular cast, fifty "Supes'' will be
employed and members of Company A.
The fourth Danz concert will be given
at the Grand opera house this afternoon

been arranged.
William Gillette's beautiful war
drama, "Held by the Enemy" comes
to the Lyceum next week. For five
seasons this play has played to large
business throughout the country and
Justly earned the name it received from
the press and public as being one of
the greatest military dramas ever pro
duced. There will be no increase of
prices.

A Queer Illusion.

Charley Johnson, good looking
Swede.about thirty years of age, appears
to be perfectly rational upon all matters
of business, so much so, in fact, that
he asserts with every evidence OF
good faith that he is the progeny OF
Jesus Christ ard is occupying that po-
sition totally on the quiet for a short
time until he receives his credentials.
When they arrive he will go out upon
the street corners and inform the popu-
lace of the fact. The young man is
often met in down town offices. and
those who meet him think it strange
that such an apparently bright mind
should be so demented on the one ques-
ton. He is perfectly quiet when max
ing his statements and never grows eX-
cited, even when referring to his posi-
BILE rivalry with Sweinfurth. How long
he has had the Authorization is not
known.

RUNGE,s RECOMMENDATIONS.
What the New Fire Chief Would
Like fo See Done

At the meeting of the council commit
tee OH legislation the other evening,
Chief Runge, of the fire department.,
outlined his desires in the way Of i'm
provements, and promised to formulate
his ideas and present them to the COM
mittee in writing. He has kept his
promise, and at the meeting of the COM
mittee tonight they will be presented.
He first of all gives list of the improve
mentS needed in the fire department.
There are seven items aggregating
$l06,700. The headquarters building is
estimated to cost S4S, 900. 1t is to be q
three-story building on Fourth street,
between Henncpin and First avenue
north, to contain an engine and hose
carriage, with a water tower and a hook
and ladder truck. In the rear of the
building is to be built tower for POM
pier drill, to contain bell weighing
1000 pounds. Three items are for fire
buildings in the First, Second and Fifth
wards. The sum of $500 is set down
for lot in the Tenth ward, and $1,000
for more ground near the present repair
shop. The seventh item is for new
fire alarm system. On this point of a
new alarm system the chief says:
1--WE have now what is called the au
IOiidtlC SySlclii, duu tll6 ScINlCO any IliC
city have outgrown it. 1t will be nee
esSary to change it to central Office
system. This will require 3-dial man.
ual repeater, % joker sets, pole changes,
relays, galvanometers, 200 closed circuit
break wheels, etc. Three operators will
be required, also the construction of
joker and gong lines to all engine houses.
Some of the advantages of central
Office over the automatic system are,
first, quicker transmission of fire sig
mails from street boxes to fire houses;
second, greater reliability ON correct
transmission Of alarms, owing to the
central office controlling all alarms re-
ceived; third, it gives record of all
alarms at engine houses; fourth, it gives
better means of inter-cOmmunication
between the central office and engine
house, as there are three lines, the
gong, the joker and the telephone.
Only $4,000 of the $4,000 worth of
bonds authorized by the last legislature,
have been disposed of, thus leaving $55,
600 worth of fire bonds authorized for
the fire department on hand. The de-
partment then will ask for only $51, 900
worth of bonds in addition"

A Simple Desertion.

Minnie Melone and Fred MelOne be-
came husband and wife In July, 1888,
when the couple went over to Hudson,
Wis, and committed matrimony under
the laws of the handy marriage state.
They lived together until November,
1884, when Fred suddenly betook him
self to green fields and pastures new,
leaving his bride so short time after
the honeymoon. She doesn't appear to
have minded much at first, but now the
enormity of his offense has dawned
upon her and she wants to be a single
woman for the balance of her days, CT
until she gets another chance, so she
has begun an action for divorce. She

1T RAISED A LAUGH.
How the Statement That Gam

ceived.

How the Statement That Gam
bling Will Be Licenced Was Re-
ceived.
A morning paper yesterday again let
itself loose on the gambling question,
and stated that the scheme Of licensing
gambling was receiving serious consid-
Grafton at the hands of the powers that
be. The reporter who wrote it and the
editor who passed it probably never
had any idea that it would be believed.
The article was run to FILL space"
The idea is foolish in the extreme and
has never been thought of by anyone in
authority under the present admins
tration. When the subject was men
toned to the mayor he said:
None whatever. Those statements
were not authorized by me. The
thought of licensing any Of the gam
pliers has never entered my head"
The proposition is too silly to receive
the slightest consideration except on
the ground of its concentrated Stiffness.
Mayor Winston knows that no such
plan would ever be listened to, no mat
ter how many arguments there may be
in favor Of it. Moreover, gambling is
not business that is licensable with
out materially changing some impor-
tant state laws. city charters, etc.

MINNESOTA'S UNIVERSITY.
Facts About 1t in the Reports of
the Regents and President
NOrthrop.

NOrthrOp.
The annual report Of the regents of
the state university contains some sig
nfficant figures, Last year there were
1872 graduates, and the attendance for
lSS9-9O was LOOP, showing that the uni
versity of Minnesota is taking rank with
the most famous educational institu-
lions of the country. The regents ear
nestly ask for an appropriation OF 500, 600
for new medical building. They show
that this department is rapidly growing
and that the rented building now Occu-
pied is inadequate for the needs of the
department. An educational building
for the agricultural school was also
asked for, to cost 5000.
President Northrop'S report, which is
incorporated with that of the regents,
shows that the university has made
greater progress during the past two
years than during any previous period
of it's existence. Within that time six
new buildings have been erected. Pills
bury hall. stone building of 245 feet
front; physical and chemical
laboratory, 1872 feet front; a
brick law building, 80 feet
front: heating plant; building for
the school of agriculture, and a veterin-
