A SOPRANO SUFFERER.
The Saint Paul globe., 1900-04-22


REASON 3. Because he is at pres
ent holding an appointive. office
as court attendant, for which,
so far as is known, he is quail
1fled.
Everybody who has to do with the
courts knows the amiable and handsome:
gentleman who sits at the desk Under
meath the judicial bench No fault has
ever yet been found with him In that ca
pacity.. None is likely to be found. He
is ambitious, which Is a good thing. His
ambitions broaden out beyond the portals
Of the halls of justice, and he is to be
commended therefor. But he really is
not the man for the place he seeks; and
he is for the place he holds. What is the
duty of the voting community under such
circumstances? Why, to be sure, to re-
tain the valuable services of Mr. Filter
in the important position of an assistant
clerk of the courts of Ramsey county, If
need be, until he becomes the head of the
establishment in which he is now an as
Sistant.
The Saint Paul globe., 1900-04-22

REASON @. Because he Is not
known, utterly unknown, to the
business community. @
This is not Mr.. Filters fault, SO much
as 1t Is his misfortune. If he were as
we'll known to the merchants and manu-
facturers as he is to the litigants of ST.
Paul and to the brotherhood of Republi-
can politicians and of1ceholders he would
be quite acceptable to them so far as we
know, but we will never know, because
he is never likely to be any better known
to the business community, at least for
some years to come, than he is at the
present moment. If he does not with
draw, the business community may be
compelled to throw Some cold water on
his future political ambitions, and that
the g o b e would not like to see The
West side has further uses for Mr.. Fit
zer and he should not invite political
death by pursuing his present course.

advertised, and so that there would be
no disappointment to people who will
attend the sale. They have been success
full in their efforts to get the. addid nal
horses. and have secured a choice lot.
The horses that arrived last week were
surprise to buyers. owing to the quality
that they possessed. They were indeed
fine lot, but no better than those that
will be on display for the sale.
1t is expected that about ,thirty-f1ve
cars of horses will arrive this morning,
and during Monday and Tuesday special
trains will bring in about $50 cars in ad-
dition to these. These horses will be
yarded and will be on display within a
few hours after their arrival at South
st. Paul. Buyers who arrive in: advance
of the day set for the sale VIII have
ample opportunity to look the horses
over, and will be aided by an efficient
corps of assistants that Thuet Br> s have
employed for this especial purpose.
The arrangements for the big sale are
practically completed now, and all that
remains to make the event great sue
cess will be fine weather and it is hoped
that the day will be a favorable one.
Many people will no doubt be attracted
to South St Paul next Thursday who will
come merely to see the horses, and they
will be just as welcome as those who
come with the intention of buying exten-
sively, for Thuet Bros. realize that a
drove of 5000 horses will be curiosity
well worth travelling many miles to see
There have been many horse sales held
in the past, but never before. in the his
tory of the world, were SO many horses
gathered in one lot to be offered for sale
at auction. Many difficulties present
themselves in such an undertaking. and
not the least of these is the task of car
ing for the animals, for it will be i'm

PLATE GLASS SHATTERED
WABASHA STREET MERCHANTS
HAVE COSTLY EXPERIENCES
WITH SHOW PANES
POLICE PLAY A PART IN IT
Shot From an Omcer's Pop-Gun
Broke a Show Case-Other De-
structiOn Not Yet Fully
Accounted For.


Between a crowd of excited policemen
and an unknown miscreant there came
nearly being no windows left along Wa
basha street yesterday. The policemen
smashed valuable showcase in front of
Lennon & Gibbons clothing store, Sew
enth and Wabasha streets. by reckless
shooting, while a large plate glass was
smashed out of the door at Joseph
Freidl's tailoring establishment, 4s5 Wa
basha street. After a fusilade that arous-
ed the neighborhood the policemen in
.dulging in revolver practice managed to
kill a strangely acting dog that they
spent an hour in chasing, but when 1t
came to looking for the probable robber
that broke out FreidPs window, they ac-
complished nothing. Lieut.. Joe Davis
and Sergeant Mckinley led the target
practice, in which several other officers
participated.
The excitement took place shortly after
2 o'clock yesterday morning, when a
yelping dog ran up Seventh street. Some
one conceived that the dog was mad.
The idea appealed ito the policemen. SO
they began blazing away at the fright

TERRA GOTTA COPING FELL
PEDESTRIANS IN FRONT OF MAN
HAITIAN HAVE A CLOSE CALL.

Belated pedestrians who passed by the
Manhattan building on Robert street, be-
tween Fourth and Fifth, between II and
IL o'clock last night were badly scared
and exposed to some danger by the falling
of the ornamental terra Gotta coping
Probably on account of the frost coming
out of the clay the coping became loos,
ened and fell to the sidewalk from the
caves of the sky scraper in chunks as
large as a mans hat, weighing from five
to fifteen pounds.
The custodian of the building placed a
lamp on the sidewalk, but as the danger
was not averted the police were notified
and the patrol wagon from the central
station was sent to the locality and the
dangerous portion of the sidewalk was
roped off so that foot passengers were
obliged to take the street when passing
on that side. A gentleman and. his wife,
who refused to give their names, were
passing by when a chunk of coping wigh-
ing about thirty pounds crashed down on
the stone Tagging not dozen feet in
front of them. The lady became faint
from fright and her husband took her
home In a coupe.
A police officer was detailed. to watch
the place and prevent the. removal OF
the ropes.

reply to all that are received, but the task
is proving an enormous one, and it is not
improbable that some may go unanswer-
ed. These letters are coming from all
parts of the country, and are demonstrat-
ing that it is not alone in the vicinity of
ST. Paul that horses are wanted. In
some instances. letters have come from
people 500 and 1,0OO miles away, and he
writer's have signified their intention Of
attending the sale, and 1t Is not at all
improbable that many horses will be sold
Thursday for shipment to the far East
and South.
Everything that can will be done for
the convenience of the visitors. The Of
fieials of the Union Stock yards and the
officials OF the railroads centering in st
Paul have Joined with Thuet Bros, and
are using every endeavor to make this
great sale the success that 1t deserves.
In addition to making special rate with
in a radius of $50 miles of st. Paul to all
kwho may wish to attend the sale, the
railroads will have personal representa-
tives on the ground the day of the sale,
who will assist in caring for the visitors
and their wants.
The first consignment of horses arrived
at South st. Paul this week. There were
about 700 head, and they have all been
disposed of to buyers who arrived early.
1t had been the intention to hold these
horses for the sale, but the demand was
too great, and Thuet Bros. were almost
4eompelled to sell them out. When they
realized that there would be none Of the
first horses left by the day OF the sale,
they at once put agents on the road to
send in an additional thousand, so that
they would be able to show as many as

THE HEALTH HABIT

just as Easy to Form as Any Other.
We do not deliberately form our pet
habits, but they are unconSciously ac-
quired and grow as we grow, and by the
time we learn they are hurting us wa
find them too strong to be easily broken,
Then, why not form a good habit. a
haplt which will counteract the many bad
ones, in other words, contract the un-
fashionable habit of being always well.
The best health habit to get into is to
have and keep a vigorous stomach; IL you
nave healthy digestion you can drink
your beloved coffee, smoke your favorite
brand of tobacco, with little or no harm;
the mischief begins when these things are
forced upon the faithful stomach. with.
out any assistance.
Form the habit of taking after meals
some harmless but efficient digestive
which will relieve the stomach of so
much extra work.
Nature furnishes us with such diges-
tives and when they are combined in such
pleasant, preparation as Stuart 8 Dys-l
pepsia Tablets, they give the overlooked
stomach just the necessary assistance to
secure perfect digestion without any OF
the harmful effects of cathartics and sim.t
liar drugs.
The habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after meals is as necessary to the
weak stomach as food itself, and indeed
10 get the peneht from rood eaten, snotIl-
ing better and certainly nothing safer can
be used.
Many families consider Stuarts Tablets
as essential in the house as knives and
forks
They consist entirely of natural digess
tive principles without the effect or char
acteristics of drugs; they have no ca
thartic action, but simply go to work. on
the food eaten and digest 1t.
Take into account your bad habits ana
the expense they entail and then invest
fifty cents in a box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and see If your digestion for the
next month is not vastly improved.
ASK the clerk In any drug store the
name of the most successful and popular
stomach remedy and he will say "Stus
arts"

REASON .. Because his choice. I'm
!, the convention was made pure
and simple ON account of his res
a1dence In the Sixth ward.
The people Of the West side, with
eommendable sectional devotion, are dis
posed to think that the sun doth both
rise and set over in their particular baili-
wick, A trans Mississippi congress may
some day be held over there, to which
5t. Paul may send delegates. Its people
are pampered members Of the body poll
tic. They indulge in the luxury Of
having special constable and a special
Justice Of the peace and other municipal
delights. They show their appreciation
of the honor in very becoming ways
Like Mr. Filter, the West side is am
bilious. 1t is just about to organize
a West Side Improvement association.
The ambitions of it's people are lauda-
bic, but the city, the g o b e fears, must
draw the line on them in the matter Of a

The Saint Paul globe., 1900-04-22

REASON 2. Because his opponent
has all the qualities and quail
ificatiens which pre-eminentIy
fit him for the important post
of city treasurer.
Mr.. Otto Bremen is now a leading Of
fetal of one of our leading local bank
ing institutions. He has been such for
a number of years. He is held an In
valuable man by his employers He Is
known and esteemed by the entire bus.-
ness, community as a skilled fnancier, as
a man of sterling probity, of such habits
of life as render it safe and commendable
in the highest degree that he should be
chosen as the city's chief financial Of
ficer. The business community demands
such man for the position, and their
demands ought to be respected. AS be-
tween him and such man as Mr.. Filter
1t would be useless to invite comparisons.
The latter gentleman may have a public
future, but it is not as the financial Of
ficer of a large city.
The Saint Paul globe., 1900-04-22

REASON z. Because he is not
known to have held any position
of large responsibility, either In
public or private life.
1t would be unjust to Mr.. Fitzer to
say that he is wholly Insignificant
person. He is not. He is a good citi-
zen, and a man Of property. But .neith-
er the quality of his citizenship, nor the
extent of his propertied possessions en-
titles him to appear In his present false
position. He is as good as the best the
Republican politicians have to offer in
the way of candidates in the present
terrible crisis which attends their af-
fairs. And do we need add that the
G be is unconscious of any compli-
ment, either express or implied, to Mr. Fit
zer in this statement? When he has been
elected clerk of courts, or register OF
deeds, or in some other like capacity, he
will have realized all reasonable expec-
tations of his friends.

ened cur. The dog turned up Wabasha
street, at Seventh, and lodged a hail of
bullets, one of which went crashing
through large glass showcase in front
of Lennon & Gibbons. The policemen
continued the chase, firing as they went,
until the dog was rounded up ait Sew
enth and Cedar streets, where it was
finally killed with a club.
How the window at Freidfs place was
broken is something of a mystery. The
policemen heard the crash, but were too
busy in the dog chase to investigate un-
til their fun was over. Then 1t appeared
that some one had broken out the entire
pane Of glass, as though endeavoring to
enter the store. Mr. Freidl was sum-
moned, and after taking an inventory Of
his stock decided that nothing had been
stolen. The police are inclined to believe
that some one attempted to burglarize
the store, but was frightened away by
the crashing glass.
The Saint Paul globe., 1900-04-22

REASON 4. Because he makes of
5 politics an occupaai6n.
This is not said in lfnAindness. That
he .iis active in political life is a good
thing for Mr.. Fitzer in ITSELF and indeed
for the community which he, serves. 1t
Is sign of patriotism to be active in
behalf of ones party, and Mr.. Filter is
no doubt patriot But 1t is not the
rule that men should graduate from the
political convention to the chief financial
position of the community which they
serve as active politicians The people
have some prejudice in that direction,
and 1t is well founded as a general prin-
ciple even II it does not apply with es-
pecial force to the case !pf Mr.. Fitzer
Let that gentleman try fog something
more in the direct line OF his daily ac-
tivities, and the Globe will wish him
well.

HARVEST OF SEVENTH STREET
1t Is a Rich One These summer
Evenings for the Light

Thrifty.

Nearly all Of the policemen and detec-
tives in the city were on East Seventh
street last evening endeavoring to dis
cover the clever pickpockets that have
been making life a burden to the depart
ment for some time, but the united Wig
ilance was of no avail, for while Detec-
tive Christensen and Jailer Jake Stadt-
field, of the Ducas station, were watch
Ing crowd about street fakir at Sew
enth and Minnesota streets, the pick
pockets were at work almost before their
eyes and robbed julius Frankel, a
stranger in the city, of gold watch
valued at $40. The theft was of the
same skilled kind that the police have
lately heard so much of. A sudden twist
of the chain, imperceptible to the VIC
tim, and the watch was gone. Detec-
tive Christensen and his "pardner'' were
notified Of the theft almost Immediately
after 1t happened, but could get no trace
of the crooks.
The lmpunity with which the thieves
are working is becoming start
ling. Wholly regardless of the
presence of half a hundred police Of
f1cers they apparently wandered up and
down Seventh street at will last evening"

sent out to gather them in, when they
felt secure in the knowledge that none

The Saint Paul globe., 1900-04-22

REASON L. Because he possesses
nothing In the way of character,
capacity or training to specially
qualify him for the office.
Mr.. Filter is a nice-looking young man.
and, no doubt, a good fellow. There his
qualifications for public office begin and
end, so far as any one but his intimate
friends know. He has long been active
in political life, and he is quite an ex-
pert in getting the proper delegation from
his ward; but in matters of financial
concern he might as well, If not better,
have never been heard of before either in
politics or out. The office needs a man
with sound training in the details of
financial management, whose ability to
manage large interests is conceded, and
who in his antecedents offers the fullest
assurance that he can run the important
office to WHICH he aspires. Mr.. Filter is
not such a man, and should be beaten
