Report That They Have Been Drift
ing in, Verified.

Mrs Charles Wolf living at Glad
stone, was the victim of pickpockets
at Seventh and Cedar streets yester-
day afternoon, when the dips re-
lieved her of a purse containing 500
Mrs. Wolf carried the purse in a hand
satchel over her arm and was standing
in front Of store looking at number
of dyed chickens in a window. There
was crowd about the window, and
though the object of some crowding,
Mrs. Wolf did not suspect the pres
ence of thieves, nor did she discover
that her money had been stolen until
paying for a purchase in a neighboring
store. Then she found her satchel open
and the pocketbook missing. Return
ing to the window she found several
men whom she noticed in the crowd
had left the vicinity. When she re-
ported the theft to the central police
station Mrs. Wolf stated that she had
no money with which to pay her fare
back to Gladstone
In speaking of the theft Chief Of
Detectives Schweitzer stated that peo-
pie carrying money about with them
should be more careful, as the crowded
condition of the streets presented a

TWO BOYS CLOSE CALL.
Narrow Escape From Double
Drowning Yesterday.

Benjamin Rankin, the ten-year- old
son of George Rankin, living at North
st. Paul, and Gebhardt Rankin, his
twelve-year-Old brother, had a narrow
escape from drowning at North St.
Paul yesterday morning. The two
brothers were playing on a raft on a
pond formed in a vacant lot by the
high water, when the improvised craft
broke apart and capsiZed, throwing
both boys into the water. The pond
was about six feet deep at the place
of the accident, and only the courage
of Gebhardt, the elder lad, saved him
self and brother from instant drown
ing. Grasping his brother he chung
frantically to one of the boards of the
raft, though forced to release his hold
several times as the frail support re-
fused to remain on the surface with
the combined weight of the boys. Both
lads were badly frightened and, in
their efforts at preservation, were
several times submerged, though each
time being able to gain a mOmentary
respite by clinging to the plank.
Fortunately the accident had been
witnessed by a Mr.. Wright, who was
driving by the place, and he at once
went to the assistance of the boys.
An attempt to drive his horse into the
water failed by reason of the depth OF
the pond, and then Mr.. Wright left
the buggy to wade or swim to the en-
dangered youths. Finally he succeed
ed in reaching the brothers, but not
until Benjamin was unconscious, and
his brother nearly so, and brought
both to the shore. The lads were al
once taken to their home, and were
finally reSuscitated.

different remedies and our son had not

have him try one bottle of Hoods Sar-

instant favor, and was warmly commended by
the Boston press. Last December she APP

Glee club concert in New York. Her work
was highly praised by musical critics and
by her audience. She has since appeared in
many prominent musical affairs and has been
successful in all.

saders' reorganization will be cele-
brated Monday evening, April 26, in

been seen to rise to places of honor.

the direction Of Rev. J. Stanley, now
Bishop Stanley, Of North Dakota The

SATURDAY CLOSING.
Movement for Half Holiday Among
Wholesalers Started. e..

The Saturday afternoon closing move
ment is being agitated. A paper has
been circulated among the wholesalers,
fuel people, insurance men, and all
those who were interested last year,
and is being generally signed. All
those who have not been called on are
invited to sign. The gentlemen who
are circulating the paper are Harry
G. Allen, of J. H. Allen & Co;
w. L. Benson, of Nicols & Dean, and
Joseph A. Rogers Jr., of John Rogers
Jr., & Bro, who have been the
leaders of the early closing movement
for number of years back, and are
meeting with the cooperation of near
ly all the jObbers and office men. The
paper calls for the closing of their
places of business on Saturday after
noon at l o'clock, from May l until
Sept. 1. All the dry goods houses re-
strict their closing to Aug 1, as the
month of August is the opening Of their
busy season. Griggs, Cooper & Co,
Ncyes Bros & Cutler, Wright, Barrett &
Stillwell, and two or three other job
bers close the year around at o. m.
on Saturdays.
The half holiday on Saturday after
noon is being more and more general
ly observed. In all Eastern cities it
has for several years been observed
as a holiday, and in London it is a
legal holiday.
