Doomed.

j. Adam Bede spoke to the members
of the Commercial club during the noon
hour yesterday. The state Of Minnesota
formed the basis of an address that was
witty. interesting and instructive. Mr..
Bede said:
I have not come here to give you a
Bohemian talk as l speak only English
myself, but I am going to talk on the
state of Minnesota. Minnesota Is the
greatest state in the Union, and is easy
to talk about

suits. The punctuation mark makes a

There WAS a little statement of where
"A man going to sea, his wife prayed for
his safe return" The Dispatch or some

We often, in this state, begin in small
way. which turns with wonderful ad-
vantage to the community We started
with iron enough for the consumption of
the Northwest. The iron business is
a business apart from any other business
in the East and West.
The people of Wisconsin are doing all
they can to develop the ore in their state
and Minnesota should do likewise. Peo-

PALACE CARS FOR ALL lines
STREET RAILWAY COMPANY'S
PROMISE TO THE COUNCIL
MADE yesterday
They VIII Be of the Como Interur-
ban Pattern and VIII Be Built as
Fast as Practicable-Wfu Take
Year.

All the street car lines in the city are
to have an improved car service as soon
as it is possible for the company to effect
the change. Cars of the Como interurban
pattern will replace all the old-style cars
now In operation as rapidly as the new
ones can be built, which is at the rate of
about one and a half a week, or seventy
five year. That was the statement of
the company's attorney NJ D. Mum, at
a meeting of the aldermanic committee
on streets yesterday afternoon.
The first matter to be considered by
the committee was Assembl yman
k1rke's Scent car fare resolution Mr.
Mum. addressing the committee said:
If you pass that resolution we will not
be able to operate our lines. The intro
duction of this resolution and its passage
by the assembly was communicated to
New York and came near defeating Mr.
Lowry's attempt to put new cars. on the
Selby line We could not operate with a
S-cent fare, nor could we meet our obli-
cations" Asked by a member Of the
committee what the company would do
If the resolution was not passed, Mr.
Munn-said: I'VE propose to put the big
cars on all the lines in the city and will
spend between 5000, 900 and $500, 900 in build
ing and equipping these new cars They
cost $500 apiece, and we are building
them at the rate Of one and q half
week, and at that rate it will take some
th1ng over a year to change the entire
equipment. On motion Of Aid. Sanborn
the resolution was laid over for month
Two resolutions by Aid. Bantz, reuuir-
Ing the board of public works to have the
asphalt streets swept by the patrol sys-
tenn, were also laid over for four weeks
Assemblyman Nelson's cement side
walk ordinance was resurrected and rec
commended to pass, with the understand
ing that it would probably be killed in
the board. Aid. Bells cement sidewalk
ordinance was referred back without rec
ommendation.

GAVE WEDL ANOTHER CHANCE
JUDGE BAZILLE SAYS HE MUST SEE
THAT HIS CHILDREN ARE
CARED FOR

PatrOiman Michael schOen Is Mann
cd Guardian, However, to Take
Possession of the Children When
ever Suffering Is Apparent.
The petition of Humane Agent Moak
for the appointment of a guardian for
the children of Wenzel Wedl, a dairy
man living at Hatch and Gaultier streets,
came up for hearing yesterday in pro-
bate court before Judge Bazille. Patrol
man Michael Schoen who lives near the
Wedls, was named as guardian, and in
case of further ill usage or neglect the
children will be taken from the parents.
Wedl, who was present with his wife
and seven children, was represented by
Court Commissioner Gallick, and backed
up by big delegation of neighbors, all
of whom were willing to swear that Wedl
was good, hard working man who
treated his family in first-class style,
and provided all the luXuries in season.
Drug Clerk Peterson testified that one
morning when the thermometer was %
below zero the little six-year-old boy
had come to his store. two blocks from
the Wedl residence, clothed In nothing
but q pair of shoes, some thin trousers
and q little ragged jacket. He was near
ly dead from the effect of the exposure,
and DR.. Leavitt. who happened to be
present at the time, told the court that
he was compelled to use restoratives to
bring the child out of chill. There was
more testimony of the same nature, and
then Wedl and his witnesses were given
an inning.
After the testimony was all in the court
announced that Officer Schoen would be
appointed guardian and the children
would be taken away If there was a
continuation Of the abuse. Wedl cried
during the lecture.
M. L. Hutchins, of the associated char
tiles, yesterday petitioned the probate
court for the appointment Of a guardian
for Elsie Ries, Gretchen Ries and John
Ries, three destitute minors.
