believe they are my children, both born
to my wife,
The attempt of Maternity hospital
to regain possession of the children is
due to the desire to remove them from
their present surroundings and find for
them another home. Dr. Ripley testi-
fieS to the fact that both the children
were born in Maternity hospital and
carried to the HuntreSs household In
the quiet of the night. Both births are
on the hospital records. DR.. Ripley was
seen yesterday morning and told the
circumstances of the births and trans
fer to Mrs. Huntress. A certificate Of
birth for the younger child was placed
on the city records and published as
the child Of Mr.. and Mrs. Huntress.
No certificate was published for the
older girl. In accepting the children
from the hospital, first one, then the
other Mrs. Huntress purposely prac-
ticed deception and had the children
brought to her in the night that the
circumstances Of their birth might be
carefully guarded. No written papers
were passed between her and Dr. Rip
ley. The matter was tacitly accepted
between them, and it was understood
that in case Of her death the children
should be returned to the hospital
should the circumstances of Mr. Hunt
ress' household not be such as to en-
able him to give them desirable care.
Within the last two months DR.. Ripley
has talked with Mrs. Huntress about
the future of the children, in view OF
her nearing death, and DR.. Ripley
maintains there was a complete under
standing between them. DR.. Ripley
states that the older child was born in
Maternity hospital and within twenty
four hours was left with Mrs. Huntress.
that her doors were closed to intrusion
and that 1t was not known until next
day that daughter had come in the
night The transfer from the hospital
was made by DR.. Ripley and Mr. Rip
ley personally, who drove to the Hunt
ress house, then in Ninth avenue, and
left the babe. In the case of the
second transfer. German nurse from
the hospital attended Mrs Huntress
and she only knew of the circum
stances of the child's arrival.

MINNEAPOLIS
FLETCHER is HOPEFUL.
He Thinks Times VIII BE Better in
a Short Time.

Congressman Fletcher is at home for
a short visit before the extra session of
congress conveneS. He wishes to look
into some local measures including the
Mississippi river dam project and to
assist those who are looking to him to
help them out ON their prospective APP
pointments. Mr.. Fletcher was unable
to state what the prospects of the cam
didates were. He stated there were but
few offices not now under the civil
service, and the appointees had been
removed by Cleveland and filled in with
Democrats. Speaking personally Mr..
Fletcher was opposed to the civil SER
vice as administered by the late presi-
dent, and spoke in favor of legislation
to Obviate that trouble.
In regard to a business revival Mr..
Fletcher considered the outlook promis-
ing. He could not recall a time when
the signs appeared more favorable for
an immediate Improvement. Certain
legislation, in his opinion, was neces-
Sary, and he anticipated no trouble in
the passage of the bill which has been
under the consideration of the ways
and means committee for three months
past. There would be practically no
change in passing the house, but he
ventured the prediction that no man on
earth could tell what the senate would
do.
Mr.. Fletcher delivered a scorching
roast on the actions of the senate dur
ing the past session. The measures
which had taken months of the atten-
ton of the house, were taken up and
considered by the senate in a few days.
The result was that they were returned
TO the house in an amended condition,
but were rushed through only to be
killed by the president He commended
that the senate had done but little in
the interests Of the people. He antici-
pated action at the coming session
touching the financial condition of the

would be appointed to investigate the
domestic finances of the nation and
report some plan of relief at the next
session, and possibly action might be
taken upon the results of the labors Of

And the Morning,
AND THE EVENING OF THE
FIRST DAY,
662 Boxes of Pills Given AWAY
DODD'S MEDICINE COMPANY'S DIS
TRlBUTTON OF KIDNEY PILLS
PROCEEDS AT THE DISPATCH
OFFICE AGAIN TODAY UNTIL
NOON-GREAT SUCCESS YES
TERDAY.

It was great, wasn't it?
Yesterday the DODD'S MEDICINE CO., Of
the U. S., dispensed at the office of the Dis
patch over six hundred boxes of DODD'S
KIDNEY PILLS-662, to be exact.
The distribution proceeded rapidly after
nine o'clock until nightfall. Owing to the
necessary precautions taken to register the
persons applying for boxes of pills, that none
might receive more than his share, and that
none who have no need for pills should usurp
the places of those who ask for them in good
faith, the long line of seekers after health
moved slowly, and many were turned away
the first day.
The distribution will continue today until
noon.
The Dodd's Medicine Company will continue
the disDensation Of its pills until the whole
1000 boxes are taken up, or until all who
desire pills for Kidney ills are supplied.
If you could not get in line yesterday, come
today.
And now word to those 662 persons who
carried away boxes of pills yesterday. 1t is
our hope that every pill will do good. These
pills are valuable. They are not given away
to be thrown away. They are given only to
those whom we are satisfied will make sensi-
BILE use of them. They will do you good II
you take them.
We also advise those patients who are suf-
fering from severe pains in their back, or
turbd urine or other urinary difficulties not
to be discouraged if the first pill or two does
not conclude a cure.
The first few pills will have the effect of
cleansing the kidneys, Kidding them Of poi
sonous accumulations. The urine will be
thick and dark with acid waste. The faces
will be plentiful and free. The pains, if any,
should be relieved by the second day. and
should entirely disappear, except in most ex-
IRENE and extraordinary cases, within
week. The directions on the box should be
closely followed. The pills will do their work.
Every pill is full strength. Every one is
examined before it is boxed. The contents
OF one box should make a perceptible differ
ence in any ones health, complexion and
feelings. But we strongly advise that the
whole box be taken, before judgment be
passed, unless indeed, the remedy works its
beneficial influences before then.
If any children are sent for Pills, we would
be obliged if the parents or whoever sends
them will give an order for the pills.
We do not want our pills to be used for kids
to play marbles with, when a multitude in
this city, we are sure, are suffering from
Kidney trouble which DODD'S KIDNEY
PILLS might relieve

THAT is THE GENERAL OPINION
I'm REGARD TO THE AID. DREW
JURY.
NO REPORT AT 9 O'CLOCK.
A RUMOR GOING THAT THE JURY
MEN STAND SIX AND
SIX.
Meeting of the Mississippi Valley
Lumbermen-LOren Fletcher at
Home.

The indications late last night point
ed to a disagreement in the jury which
is to pass on the case of Aid. Drew
When they withdrew from the court
room yesterday afternoon for consulta-
ton Judge Jamison ordered the dep
uty in charge to acquaint him Of the
state Of affairs at 8:45 o'clock last even
Ing, and in the event of an agreement
being reached by that time he would
be at the court house at o'clock to
receive the verdict. Later than that
hour he was not to be disturbed. When
the appointed hour rolled round no
unanimous decision had been reached,
and it looked as if the conflicting views
would not be reconciled until today at
the earliest
After the withdrawal of the jury it
is understood they talked the matter
over and then a ballot was taken
which indicated a marked division Of
opinion regarding the guilt or inno-
cence of the accused. It was of no use
entreating for verdict of guilty. Those
not Of that mind were firm and de-
cided. Rather, they assumed the ag-
gressive and endeavored to persuade
evidence did not warrant the case Of
the state being sustained. Not one of
the jurors asked or suggested that in
structions be received on any details
of the evidence. After a light luncheon
had been partaken of, some of the jury
retired for the night, while others en-
gagged in cards for their entertainment.
A disagreement was anticipated about
the court rouse last night and it was
predicted that when Judge Jamison ap-
peared today such would be the nature
of the report of the foreman.
There were reports about the streets
during the evening that the jury stood
six to six, but such were not based on
fact, as no person was within speak
ing distance of the twelve good men
and true at any time after their with
drawal except the deputy, and he re-
fused to divulge anything definite re-

THEATER HAT ORDINANCE.
Managers of Theaters May Say a
Word or Two.


It begins to look as though the adoption or
death of Aid. Curriers' tlieater hat ordinance
will depend largely upon the wishes of the
managers Of the different city play houses.
The committee on ordinances, to whom the
ordinance was referred, met yesterday after
noon and, after hearing from Theodore HAYS
of the Bijou theater, decided to postpone &C.
ton. Mr.. Hays stated that he had been I'M
able to confer with the other managers
and that until he had done SO he would much
prefer that any decisive action on the ordi-
nance be delayed. ~
II have an idea," he said, which may aid
you gentlemen in determining how to act in
this matter. / believe 1t would be an ex-
cellent plan to secure some definite under
standing as to public sentiment regarding the
ordinance. 1t has been contended, and not
wholly without ground that the so-called thea
ter hat nuisance is really largely a matter
Of the imagination. 1t has been magnified
into such evil that people who formerly
paid no attention to the hats have become
quite worked up on the subject
MY plan, and l think 1T will meet with
the approval Of the other managers. is to
let theater goers vote on the proposition, and
at some early occasion we will pass slips to
every one in the audience and allow them
to take a vote at each performance dur
ing a certain week, by which the general SEN
timent might be more accurately gagged"
Mr.. Hays request was granted and he will
be allowed to confer with his business asso-
ciates and report back to the committee at
an adjourned meeting.

EVEN A LOBSTER
Has Some Rights, Thought the
Sleepy Man In the Street Car.

Inc man with the wooden comforter had
1allen asleep in a Wentworth avenue car
says the Chicago Tribune. His head sagged
forward until his whiskers were resting
against his vest. He seemed to be entirely
quiet and inoffensive and yet a woman gave
him. --A
The other passengers looked up In sur
prise, and she pointed at the sleeping man.
His overcoat pocket was moving. There was
some live thing in it. While the passengers
looked and wondered a dark. damp claw
was pushed out of the pocket 1t opened
and closed slowly. The woman gave a. little
squeak and moved to the other side of the
car.
In came the conductor, who had observed
the excitement When he saw the wet salty
claw biting vainly at the air he went up
and aroused the sleeping man.
Look here" he said, this won't do"
The man with the comforter made a.
pass" or two at the conductor and then
looked up and said: "Wha's that won't do?"
Why, this thing in your pocket"
Ain man got a right to take lobster
home to his children?''
That's all right, but we don't want it
crawling all over the car.
If the lobster bites any one got money
to pay"
Well never mind about that. We don't
want anything soaring women here

his overcoat pocket and pulled out the moist
creature which had bits of seaweed trailing
in its claws.

the woman who had been frightened
Here, now, you'll have to put that IN"
said the conductor sternly.
Show me the rules" demanded the pas-
senger Show me the rule, no lobster al

Never you mind about the rule you nut

The conductor helped him to crowd the

certain Mr.. Nye would be unable to QUALIFY
and as consequence would present the name
OF julius ]. Heinrich as a candidate for the
position. Mr.. Kiichh stated that Mr. Helm

that his election would mean qualification.
Mr. Nye was seen last evening in regard to
the assertion made by Aid. Kiichli but would
not ADMIT that he would be unable to qualify

ted having many hardships to contend with
