ELIZA HARRIS OUTDONE
Many st. Paulites Drenched In the
Icy Mississipui

Ernest Poelter a German furdresser.
was a host at a bathing party which
resulted last night in a general "iolIi
Hcation" for party of his neW-found
friends. Poelter himself, however. did
not enjoy the affair, although his mis-
adventure was softened by thankful
ness that he escaped alive. During
twenty minutes or more, Poelter strug-
gled in the polar waters of the Miss
lsslppl, and fought despairingIy with
the current to keep himself from being
swept under the ice. His example of
unintentional immersion was followed
by six other men, but their subsequent
discomfort was more than Offset by the
genial remedies they were obliged to
accept.
Poelter is thirty-five years old. He
Is married and lives on Spring street,
near the foot of Hill. He is employed
at the fur house Of Bloskie Brothers,
Rice and Front streets Yesterday
afternoon Poelter went across to West
st. Paul on the ice near the foot of
Chestnut street, and found a safe path
without difficulty. About $50 last
night he started to return over the
same path. In the darkness he ap-
preached too near the edge of the open
channel opposite Chestnut street, and
fell in. His cries were heard by a Mil
Waukee sw1tchman who ran to Albert
Beisang's saloon, at Chestnut and
Washington streets, and notified a
crowd in the vicinity. Louis Halpin
a stonemason, of 458 Pleasant avenue
ran with others to the river. He then
started out on the ice around to the
further side Of the open channel and
seized Poelter's hands as they appeared
above the surface. But Halpin began
to slip. He joined his cries to Poelter's,
and Beisang, butcher of 734 Stew
art avenue, caught Halpin's feet and
enabled the latter to pull Poelter out
upon the ice. In attempting to reach
the scene directly from the shore side
of the open hole, Dan Finn, an Omaha
switchman, fell into the river, and was
dragged forth by j. j. Sisterman, an
Omaha brakeman who had joined the
crowd.
Officer Hawley heard the cries at the
same time as the Milwaukee switch
man. The officer telephoned the CEN
trail police station Sergeant Grady
Chestnut street on foot ahead of the
patrol wagon. The officers went out
on the ice about five feet, and as
Poelter, Halpin and Beisang reached
the same spot, coming in the ice gave
way, and the whole party, except Of
f1cer Newcombe, went down into the
five feet of water that was not tepid.
A stranger on shore seized Newcome's
hand, NeWcome grabbed hold of Grady,
Grady reached out for Halpin, and thus
the entire string Of soaking, swear
ing unfortunates was dragged to land
in a picturesque tug of war" The
patrol wagon brought to the central
station a cargo Of shipwrecked mari
ners. Only Poelter was in a serious
condition. But immediate treatment
by Sergeant Pothen and other officers,
bay. wit - H.
Of a city physician, prevented danger

he may suffer severely from the long
exposure.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Mnny People Could Become Rich II
They Only Knew How

Statistics show that 80 per cent of all persons
engaged IN business in the United States fail,
In other words, only 5 per cent OF ali our
business men are fortunate enough to make a
competency and keep il.
DO you know what is the cause of this7
wise men who have investigated the matter
tell us that the men who succeed are men OF
Drains, with strong nerves and great will
power. The men who fail are the weak irri-
table, dyspeptic persons.
Is there any way in which such peopIe can
improve their health? Yes: undoubtedly there
is. Many people have fortunately discovered
that 1t is quite possible. and some of them are
giving others the benefit of their experience
Mr.. Seldom Fish, prominent Chicago attor-
ney, recently said: 81 was completely broken
down through too close application to business
when l was persuaded to try Dufy's pure malt
whiskey. Before many weeks had passed was
completely restored 10 health. l am convinced
that this whiskey is natures great remedy for
any wasting disease"
Mr.. E. c. Avilla. of the Association for I'm
proving the Condition of the Poor BROOKLYN
n. Y, says: II used to suffer terribly from
severe headaches and nervous prostration but
| have been completely restored by the use of
Dunys pure malt whiskey.
1t should be remembered that ordinary food
and drink cannot supply the great vital force
which people with active brains and bodies
REQUIRE. This great, stimulating principle,
however, is contained in Duffy's pure malt
and that is why every person who takes 1t re-
ceives such wonderful benefit. There is moth
ing like il for building up the health and Civ
ing weak weary people new life and vigor.

Christianity is for the heart, the mind
and the body. 1t ministers alike to the
spiritual, the intellectual and the phys
icai being. The Christian Endeavor So
ciety is a philanthropist. 1t builds
hospitals POUNDS churches and preach
es the Gospel to the heather. The
name Of the organization is synony-
nous with charity
THE third division which I would
make of the Endeavor society's mis-
sion is its aid to good government
Thousands of Endeavorers, in different
parts of the world, are today de-
handing a high standard of morals
and pure social and political systems
They are marking the man who says
politics have nothing to do with re-
ligion. and, by their growing power,
they will eventually obtain recognition
for those men who will administer the
laws Of this country and of others,
with justice and fearlessness, in the
sight Of the Author and Judge of all
laws"

CY's KIEFER STORY.
New York Mercury Reports the
Ryan LARS Club.

Col. A. r. Kiefer's patriotic propo-
sition to personally seize the British
lion by the tail and fling his feline
hngship full into the embraces Of the
Russian bear. has not only won for
the colonel a fame that may last as
long as Venezuela has place ON the
map, but il has brought into national
prominence that distinguished coterie
OF St Paul wisdom, the Liars club"
which gathers nightly in corner Of
the Ryan and kills time as savagely
as Col Ktefer would have killed the
Britons, The New York Mercury has
been warmed by the glow OF this scin-
dIlant aggrega ton. and the effect was
apparent in last Sundays issue to the
extent OF oyer column. Alter refer
ring to the colonel as jovial German
American with broken English but pa
triotism still intact, the Mercury pro-
ceeds to introduce the prince
of the Liars club, the Tan Pine.
HE boasts says the Mercury, "of
claims that no man in the United
States has equaled him III the number
OF clients in the pen1ten1iary, or who
have been hanged
-EWhen Col Kiefers speech was read,''
continues the Mercury, the club lis
taned with rapt attention. The Tall
Pine took off the sombrero which
1t upon his knee The pallid face of
the noted criminal lawyer became a
shade paleT- Cy Wellington broke the
OminDus silence That reminds me of
a story he said, Keno Crawford, alias
Dead Eye Dick, lived at Mendoza. He
was superstdous about the bowling OF
a dog, and ne had q cur that was a
mixture Of dog and wolf One night,
when the thermometer was at 40 below
and the snow six feet deep, the dog
howied for hours Finally Keno went
cut, his night robe waving in the win
try breeze He was gone some time,
and finally his wife. becoming uneasy,
CALLED to him to know what he was
doing With teeth chattering Keno
called back: I've got this critter this
time, and I'm going to stick to him
TIL he freezes TO DEATH"
Then Erwin, who was the stall for
Wellington's story, remarked that that
was about the way it would be if the
United States should try to starye out

The Mannix-GoodselI edition of the
Hayward confession is Off the press.
1t is a neatly gotten up volume of over
200 pages, and contains almost the full
confession The authors say that about
1000 words are let out ''as matter Of
common decency, common humanity
and common charity.-It is but fair,
the publishers say, that the publication
Of a certain sensa tional statement of
Hayward's, which is onritted, would
be very valuable in furnishing reason
ably strong corroboration of the muir
dereTs story" The New York World
story probably contained the statement
referred to.
The confession proper is supplement-
ed by chapters on Hayward's peculiar
lilies, graphic descriptions OF the muir
der and hanging, an analysis Of the
criminals character by Dr.. w. A.
Jones, the expert on insanity, and one
by William Henry Eustis on the inquisi-
ton. "a County Attorney Frank M. Nye
and Rev. Father J. M. C1eary also con-
tbute chapters, and there are some
new ideas concerning the famous mad

DUN'S REVIEW.
Prices Stiffened in Orders for
Products of Some Industries.
The Price of Wheat Closed s is
Cents Higher for the Week.
Speculative buying OF Wool Does Not
AhAte, But No Gain In Prices Result
Tin Plates Are Slightly Lowered
Failures In the United States.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.--R. G. Dun &
Co. says Saturday:
A very moderate and yet distinct i'm
provement is seen in the buying of ma
terials, which stiffens prices also in or
ders for products of some industries in
money markets and in exports of sta
Piles. It has started some Improve
ment works and prompted a few con-
siderable contracts. While the gain
in working force is not great it seems
clear that for the first time in many
months there is some net gain.
An important change is the general
advance in produce markets, especially
in wheat, which rose sharply on Thurs
day and Friday, closing 5Bc higher for
the week. Reports Of crops abroad
were supposed to be the chief cause,
as visible supplies in this country in
creased largely, but for the first time
since July 1 western receipts fell be-
low those of the same week last year.
Atlantic exports, flour included, were
for the week little more than year
ago, for September 1000, 600 more and
2l,sO7,559 bushels since July 1, against
IA, 12S, sos last year. II there should
come an unusual foreign demand it
would make a great difference with
future business
Cotton advanced an eighth week
ago, but lost three-sixteenths and with
full receipts might have gone farther
but for resumption of work by several
important mills Much less than the
full capacity of mills is working and
the demand for goods has been quite
slack, with decline of a sixteenth in
print cloths, but in other goods recently
advances are maintained Specu-
lative buying of wool does not abate,
sales for four weeks having been a.,
S44, 400 pounds against 23,75s,970 last
year, but no gain in prices resulted A
few of the woolen mills are resuming
the belated demand for heavy goods
constituting most of the gain visible,
but manufacturers show confidence
that more goods will be wanted when
the future is more clear.
Finished products of iron meet more
inquiry and the placing of contracts
for 5000 tons of steel for three new
battleships, for one large building
here and for several bridges, explain
the starting of two or three works, but
after such months as have passed lit
tie business is gain. A sharp fall of
50 per ton in low phosphorus pig and
slight rise in grey forge at Pittsburgh
and in steel plates are the only changes
noted in prices.
Tin plates are slightly lowered by
home consumption to S3.55 against
$500 for foreign and tin is shade
weaker at 10 cents, copper at 1918 and
lead at 2. so cents. There is no change
in the boot and shoe manufacture.
Failures for the week have been 3l5
in the United States, against ZIG last
year and 80 in Canada against so last
year

NAVY DEPARTM EMIT

Grants Permission to the Japanese
American Steamship Line to Dock ycs-
sells at Puget Sound.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-The navy
department has granted permission to
the new Japanese-American line to
dock the steamer Yamaguchi Maru at
the Puget Sound dock yard at Port
Orchard, Wash, on October g. This is
one of the fast ships of the Nippon
Yusen Kaishi l, the great Japanese
maratime corporation which recently
esta ablished trans-Pacific line conect-
ing at Seattle with the Great North
ern railway to compete with the
Canadian Pacific railway and
steamship Hitherto all vessels of the
size of this Japanese ship have been
docked on the American coast only at
EsQuimault, b c., which is the British
naval station, and the only yard hav-
ing sufficient docking capacity. The
Puget sound dock, which was not
finally accepted by the government
until this week, was intended wholly
for naval purposes, but the navy de-
partment has ruled on the application
of the japanese company that the use
of the dock in emergencies will be per-
mittcd, provided there is no expense to
the United ST. tes.
