Promptly at 1:3O O'Clock the members Of
the T1ppecanoe club assembled il the club

president. They formed into line, and carried
out the programme arranged for the preced-

OF the people President Mckinley Secretary
Alger and Senator Hanna were received in
carriages at the east end of the viaduct.
Thence the parade over the original line of

a magnificent affair. People crowded the
the streets many rows deep, banners foated

policeman is bound to do, he took him
to Merriam Park. Finding in the morn

drunk, they let him go. If he had been
some low down snipe they would have
sent him to the work house for thirty
days for being drunk and disorderly,
but being a well dressed gentleman in
a straw hat and boarding at the Ryan
hotel, they very properly released him,
while the even handed justice of st.

COSTLY DINNER HOUR.
Fritz HO1zapfeI Is Robbed of $3.50 in
Goods.

Fritz Holzapfel, proprietor of the
City hotel at 444 st. Peter street, went
to his room at 1:30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon to take his usual after din
ner nap. He didn't take a nap, how
ever but he did hustle over to the po-
lice station and report that he had been
robbed of $100 in cash and $3.50 worth
of jewelry. The money, half a dozen
watches, which had been left with him
by persons who were short on board,
diamond ring and his wife's watch and
chain constituted the plunder taken
Holzapfel accuses J. H. Mueller, who
has been stopping at the hotel for the
past three days, with having stolen
the stuff. Mueller, the hotel man says,
pretended to be an electrician and
machinist and to have recently come
to the city from Chicago. Yesterday
morning Mueller stated that he in
tended going to Chicago in the after
noon and Holzapfel fearing that the
detectives might not recognize the fell
low, visited the union depot and in
spected the passengers on the after
noon eastern trains. Mueller did not
put in an appearance. This is the
second time in two years that Holzap-
fel has been robbed, this time, as on
the other occasion. the thief visiting
his bedroom during the dinner hour.

M. L. Hutchins writes to the G b e:
Dear Sir: Now that the fall house cleaning
is about to begin and the people are prepar-
ing to come in from the lakes and the coun-
try, we would call the attention of our
friends to the fact that daily find needy,
worthy families wanting many of the house
hold necessities. We could place to good ad-
vantage stoves, carpets, crockery and f1rni-
ture of all kinds including baby carriages
and cribs for the little ones. Bedding, sheets,
blankets, comfortables, ETC., would be gladly
received.
We would remind the camping parties and
others just returning from their outings that
we could make good use of their utensils,
their cots, oil stoves, blankets, etc., of which
they have no further need.
We have constant demand for shoes and
clothing of all kinds, and especially children s
clothing, for we are daily called upon by
mothers who are very anxious that their lit
tie children should be suitably clothed to be-
gin school a few weeks hence.
Kindly notify the Relief society, 141 East

call for such things as may be placed at our

CLASSES IN GYMNASTICS.
ST. Paul Turnverein Preparing for
an Active Season.

ST. Paul Turnverein Preparing for
an Active Season.
"Fads taking the form of exercise
are all right in their way, and if a
person could go for everything from
football to golf, no doubt one might
keep in very good condition physically
But one is not likely to have half
dozen diseases at the same time; neith-
er is one likely to be bitten by the bicy-
Gle craze and a passion for hand ball
both at once. The trouble with fads is
that they are likely to develope but
the one set of muscles, and in the long
run there is bound to be a reaction
from the fad in favor of general physi-
cal culture. That reaction is starting
row in some measure, and we feel it
already. For the first time in some
years there is something like actual
enthusiasm in the attitude of devotees
of gymnastics, and the coming winter
will see return to the old-time energy
in ours and the kindred athletic associ-.
ations." -&t %2i
Thus talked Corresponding Secretary
Otto Dreher, of the Turnverein, in ST.
Paul. after a meeting Friday night,
at which steps were taken for de-
veloping the Wor of the society.
The meeting was largely attended
and took the form of a revival Of in
terest in gymnastics. There had been
no particular organized effort made,
but there has been a good deal of talk
among members of the TurnVerein
about the necessity for opening the
campaign for the coming winter early
and the agitation took form at the gen
eral meeting referred to, which was
held at the new hall in the old Pythian
quarters on East Fifth street. The
principal outcome of the meeting was
the definite formation of a plan for the
admission of juvenile classes in phySi-
cal culture, and, beginning about Sept
13, a couple of hundred boys and girls
whose parents are devoted to gymnas-
tics, and some whose parents wish they
had been so devoted, will be taken in
hand for q complete course of instruc-
ton in every branch of muscular de-
velopment. A committee was authoriz-
ed to make the necessary arrangements
with Prof Hermann, the teacher of
physical culture in the public schools,
to take charge of the neophytes in
turning This was arranged yesterday,
and about the date named the work will
begin.
Secretary Dreher said that in other
large cities in the country, the chill
drens classes in the TurnvereinS were
among their best features, and the pub
lie drills of these classes are a source
of a great deal of pleasure to the pub
lie The system of instruction is thor
ough, Mr.. Dreher said beginning with
the simpler movements in calisthenics
and running to the extreme of develop
ment in gymnastics. The system is so
applied that every muscle of any sort
of importance in the juvenile body is
given that careful attention that some
few muscles receive in special training.
The age of the young people to be ad-
mitted to the gymnasium will be mini
miZed at six years, and they will be ac-
cepted for these classes up to the age
of fourteen. instruction will probably
be given five days in the week.

DESTRUCTION OF NETS LEGAL.
Court at Red Wing Sustains the Fish
and Game Laws

Special to the Globe.
RED WING, Minnb Aug. 2S.-Judge
Williston filed a decision finding for
the defendant in thefcase of H. Saupe
and B. Wagner against B. F. Seiz,
whereby he sustains the validity of
the section of the state game and fish
law under which is authorized the
seizure and destruction nof property
used Illegally in fishingtoor hunting.
Last summer, Seizfas deputy game
warden. arrested Saupe and Wagner
on charge of illegal fishing and con-
fiscated and destroyed the net used
by them. Saupe and Wagner sued
Selz TO recover the value of the net,
claiming that law which authorized its
seizure and confiscation was unconsti-
tutional. Judge Williston holds that
the law is constitutional, being only
the legitimate exercise of police power,
that plaintiffs are not entitled to the
relief demanded in the complaint nor
to any relief whatever and that de.
fendant is entitled to Judgment and
that action is dismissed.

The True Spirit of Advertising.
If advertisers only knew it, it is SO

The True Spirit of Advertising.
If advertisers only knew it, it is so
much better to be absolutely frank
with the public. The representations
of a concern are soon rated at their
true worth, whether made by the pro-
prietor and statesmen at the store, or
by the advertising man through the
newspaper columns; and, to just the
degree that they are recognized as de-
pendable, do they count.
Much newspaper space, without
question, is wasted in needless verb
osity of statement because the public
has learned to distrust the usual ad-
vertisements, and it is deemed neces-
sary to embellish and eXaggerate
when, had the concern established a
reputation for eXactitude of statement
it could have in half the space better
accomplished its purpose.
In this connection we commend the
example set by the New England Fur
niture & Carpet Company in the con-
duct of its discontinuance of business
sale. 1t heads it's advertisement to-
day, which our readers will find on
page six. with a card explaining
briefly but pointedly just how it
stands as related to the continuance,
or extension, of it's great sale.
1t is matter of universal regret
that the New England has decided to
close it's ST. Paul store, but it will
leave us with a reputation which many
older concerns might we'll envy, and
not the least important factor in the
establishment of same has been its
utter and constant dependableness of
statement

The secretary reported that out Of
the twenty-five members of the class,
eleven were to attend the state univer-
sity this fall, two of them would take
the law course, and three would go
through the academic department.
Three have secured schools for this
winter, and will etach a term and then
go to the university. The remainder
would divide their attention between
domestic duties and business.
1t was decided to have the emblem
of the class inscribed upon the bust of
Alexander Humboldt, which was pre-
sented to the school by the class last
spring. The large Photographic group
of the members of the class was placed
in the office of the principal, and will
occupy a place of honor as being the
