ST. PAUL's FLATTERING CoMPLI-
MENT TO THE NORTHERN PA
CIFIC'S PRESIDENT.
BANQUET RENDERED TO HIM
AT WHICH ALL THE SUBSTANTIAL
INTERESTS OF THE CITY ARE
JOINED.
GREAT SUCCESS OF ONE CITIZEN
Appreciated by Those Who Know
Him In Business and Personal
Life-An Elaborate Affair.

Edwin w. Winter, president of the
Northern Pacific railway, modest and
unassuming in every act of his life,
whose career in the railroad world
has been marked by exacting princi-
the plaudits Of his fellow citizens last
evening in complimentary dinner ten
dered him at the Aberdeen.
1t was a notable dinner in every re-
spect. Only one rendered in the en-
tire Northwest ever eclipsed 1t, and
but one ever rivaled it In point .of
brilliancy and lavishness. In all 107
covers were turned. Those present
composed the flower of the CONNER
cial giants of the city They repre-.
sented all classes of commercial inter
ests, there being present the banker,
the railway capitalist, the wholesaler,
the manufacturer and the bondholder
1t is estimated that these 107 men
represented combined wealth Of not
less than $50, 0,OOO, 900.
Rarely has such body of men been
brought together in the Northwest.
It was a distinguished assemblage in
every sense Of the word. There were
interests represented there which in
days gone by clashed in jealous ri
valry, but which in the latter day rev
olution of commercial enterprises, have
come together for mutual good AMI
mutual advancement.
Mr.. Winters personal career fully
justified the event which was gotten
UP in his honor by his fellow citizens.
They have watched his upward climb
with feelings akin to amazement They
were his neighbors, his friends, his
everyday companions. He lived quiet

ly among them, plain, modest man.
Yet he could not always hide his light
under a bushel. and eventually the
great financial marts of the East were
compelled to recognize the rare
ability Of the man, ability
which was founded upon scrup-
ulous honesty. Mr.. Winters elevation
to the presidency Of the Northern Pa
cific startled the railway world in that
it brought home to the people of the
country more clearly than ever before
that huge corporations need honest
men. untrammeled by consuming per-
sonal ambitions and financial greed, to
conduct their affairs. 1t was not many
months ago that Mr.. Winter was pres
ident of the Chicago, st. Paul, Mime
apolis & Omaha road, an important
system in itself, but one not likely to
attract great attention in the finan-
cial marts Of the East. Yet Mr.. Win
ter's administration was such q marked
success that he attracted to himself
the gaze Of prudent and careful in
vestors. The history of the Northern
Pacific was strewn with financial dis
asters and discouragements, and so 1T
was but natural that the new owners
of the road sought a conservative
man. They were tired of risking for
tunes. So Mr.. Winter was chosen to
the presidency Of the big system.
The fact that Mr.. Winter is a st. Paul
man and is proud of the fact, lent the
banquet its color. Money was no object
in It's preparation. Nothing was con-
sidered too good for the guest of the
evening. The wines were brought from
Paris. The menu, largely from the bot
tom of the sea, the flowers from the
sunny climes; and, from the inspira
tion Of it all, things were said Of Mr..
Winter which made the modest man
still more modest. The whole tone of
the event was compliment to genuine
manhood and personal worth.
The banquet hall was turned into
bower Of beauty. The floral and table
decorations have rarely been exceled.
Suspended above the center window,
upon the Virginia avenue side of the
building, was a long, design Of white
and red carnations, bearing the name
of the honored guest, edwin w. Win
ter The design measured two by ten
feet in size. and the words were set off
by smilax.
rounded by bank of palms, fern and
begonias, was another large and beau
tifuI floral design, one of the most mag
pificent creations of floral art ever
ex xhibited in ST. Paul. The wording of
the design read:
NORTHERN PACIFIC"
In the center, between the two words
was the front Of locomotive. The
letters, Northern Pacific" were of
red and wtate carnations. The loco
motive was.IoInposed of yellow roses
violets and white and red carnations
The engine was supposed to be bearing
down on the hall and track of white
carnation ties and violet rails preced-
ed The track ground was of smilax
The design measured five by ten feet
and caused spontaneous comments Of
admiration from the guests as they
entered the room.
In the center of each of the nine tab
les were pyramids of different colored
flowers, each table having different
design. In the center of the table at
which sat the guest of honor, was
huge tree of American Beauty roses in

DASH FOR LIBERTY.
Twenty Naval Apprentice Boys Make
Their Escape.

NEWPORT, R. T., Dec 5.-One hun
dred naval apprentice boys made a
dash for liberty this afternoon and
twenty succeeded in escaping from
Coasters Harbor island. The Newport
and Fall River police have been asked
to help the United States authorities
in capturing the boys. The trouble is
said to be the outgrowth Of the denial
of the boys request for furlong for
the Christmas holidays.
The outbreak occurred in the absence
OF Commander Dickens. Trouble has
been brewing for several days among
the apprentices and eliminated today
when the boys formed a flying wedge
and at full speed dashed over the
bridge, which connects the island with
the mainland. The solitary sentinel
could do nothing to stop them and
more than score escaped. Aid was
summoned at once and several boys
were captured in the vicinity. Others
returned voluntarily, but twenty are
still unaccounted for.

The tables were nine In number, and

that the pine actually sold at 20 cents

X-RAY ELECTROCUTIONS.
Danger OF Carlessly Handling the
New Force Pointed Cut.

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-Dr. HI. P. Pratt,
professor Of electro-therepautics in the
Bennett Medical college, makes the fol-
lowing statement in defense against
the recent allegations against the x ray
as a healing medium:
Recently much has been published
about the injurious effects of the K
rays upon the human body, such as
producing assesses, burning and bis
tering of the skin and shedding the
hair and finger nails. For the last
eight months l have had patients under
the X ray in my laboratory, duration
of treatment varying from half to
four hours at each treatment, and not
once with any bad result in any case.
After the Crooks tube is excited by the
coil, the magnetic lines of force are
projected down. in some manner as
they pass off from a magnet, and tray-
ersing the intervening space pass
through the body down to the floor
and back to the cell tube again, COM
pleting the circuit.
''The x ray is electro-static in char
acter and of very high potential With
every discharge from the Crooks tube,
oxygen Is liberated in the body as well
as the surrounding atmosphere, which.
combining with nascent oxygen, forms
ozone 1t is due to the electrolysis pro-
duced in the body that we are able to
destroy the bacilli in contagious dis
ease; ozone being the most powerful
germicide known. The ozone generated
between the tube and the body does not
produce the burning noted, it is the in
creased current which, passing through
the body. produces electrolysis, the
skin being Of higher resistance than
the rest of the tissues. This same
condition Of burning takes place under
the galvanic and static currents, If ex-
cessive use be made of them. Except
for potential alone, the two forces are
identical.
I'm some of the Eastern states Grim
inals are electrocuted.- Here electroly-
sis is carried to an extreme, destroy
ing the whole body, but the product OF
partial destruction exhibits abscess. In
the disastrous treatment given and re-
ported, the unskilled operators used a
current of too high tension. and car
ried their treatment to point OF .elec.
trocution 1t is a treatment full or
danger If fgnorantly or rashly handled,

and careful acknowledgements"

INDICTMENTS A FAILURE.

CHIPPEWA IS REoEDING.
A Few Merchants Return to Aban-
doned Buildings.


CHIPPEWA FALLS. Wis, Dec. s.
The water feceded 81 inches yesterday,
but it rose IL inches last night. and
is stationary today There seems to
be no immediate prospect of the water
leaving the city entirely, neither is
IT expected that it will again attain it's
height of two days ago. Yesterday
some of the merchants began moving
into abandoned buildings, but work is
not continued today on account Of the
condition OF the river. No risks will
be assumed by business men, who pre-
fer to remain where they are, rather
than expose their effects to the flood.
All feelings that great destruction to
property will result at once has passed
away, and things are fast assuming
their normal condition here. Anchor
Ice is still coming down the river. but
in greatly reduced quantities, and the
gorge is not assuming much larger pro
portions. The Central road has been
enabled to use its tracks for few
hours last night but had to abandon
them this morning, on account of the
rise during the night. It's depot is
badly wrecked, and will not be fit for
use again. The operator has taken up
his quarters in box car.
