So Promises Receiver sheehan, Of
Minnesota Savings Bank.
That the affairs of the defunct Minnc.
sofa Savings bank, of which Congress-
man Fred C. Stevens was the president,
are in bad shape. was admitted yesterday
by Receiver Timothy D. Sheehan. He
had heard of the intention of the credit
ors to ask the district court to demand
a specific statement as to the condition
of the defunct institution and suggested
that In measure there was justifica-
ton for the action.
The report he said, IDS now being
made, and will, 1 expect, be filed during
March. There is, in fact, nothing to re.
port until such time as we can dispose
of the real estate, and this real estate il
practically all there is In way Of assets,
for the bills and notes of face value Of
about $4,000 are In fact worth not to
exceed from $1,000 to 5000. Of the real
estate there is not a piece which Is not
vitiated by doubtful title and 1t is all
heavily incumbered by taxes and liens of
various kinds. We have devoted great
deal of time to Strengthening out this
real estate, or attempting to do SO.
The final report will show plainly to
the creditors the reasons for the bad con-
6ition of the assets of the bank. The re-
port will be what you might call hot
stuff When 1t is made, we think we
can show that more than 500, 600 went out
of the bank in illegttimate transactions"

Letters are coming from all over the
country saying that the writers have been
led to ca. double or more than double
the allowance of Grape-Nuts because of
the fascinating flavor
The result of overeating this food. is
the same as In overeating candy, or any
other delicacy, the system gets more than
1t requires, and there follows a spleening
against it for a time,
ConGne your allowance Of Grape-Nuts
to three heaping teaspoons for the cereal
part of your meal, and the food will be a
daily delight to you.
If you have been overeating, try Grape
Nuts in the proper quantity, and, our
word for it, you will stick to them, and
obtain day by day the valuable elements
or particles which nature uses to rebuild
and nourish the brain and nervous centers
all over the body. A definite feeling of
strength and reserve power comes with
the use of this food. Have the cook dry
1t in a pan In the oven if it has been ex-
posed to, and gathered moisture, from
the air. Grape-Nuts should be crisp and
brittle.

WAS EDWARD BAMBERY.
Body Found in the Library Building
Is at Last Identified.

Body Found in the Library Building
Is at Last Identified.
The body of the man who was found
fatally injured at the bottom of the ele-
vator shaft in the new public library
building, last Thursday morning, was
yesterday identified as that of Edward
Bambery, a truckman whose home had
been in this city for a number of years.
Bambery formerly boarded at the home
of an aunt, Mrs. Mary Farrell living at
"a West College avenue. He returned to
this city, several days before his death,
from visit to Chicago.
AS nearly as can be learned the last
seen of Bambery before he was found I'M
conscious in the elevator shaft was at
Sargent's restaurant, Seventh and Cedar
streets, shortly after 10 o'clock Wednes-
day night Bambery, according to those
at the restaurant, had fallen asleep at
the lunch counter, after eating supper
when Officer Dave .Hennessey was called
in to wake him up officer Hennessey
says Bambery appeared somewhat bewii-
dered, but finally paid for his supper
and left the place, proceeding up Sew
enth street toward Wabasha Officer
Hennessey says when Banbery paid for
his supper he pulled some; small change
out of his pocket, apparently all of the
money he had, and after paying for the
meal had but a very small amount left
When found in the elevator shaft Bam-
berry had IS cents in his pocket Thurs
day night was the night Of the severe
blizzard and it is believed Bambery wan
dered into the library entrance after
leaving officer Hennessey to seek shelter
from the storm and accidentally fell into
the shaft. -
Bambery was thirty years of age and
unmarried. He had lived in this city for
some years, having been employed at
various times as a truckman for Barney
Ryan, Michael Mullane and other exz
pressmen He worked a short time for
B. Presley & Co., the Third street COM
mission firm, before he went to Chicago,
about Christmas. Miss Annie Bambery,
employed at Bannon & Co.'S dry goods
store is sister of the deceased, while
Mrs Malloy, who conducts boarding
house at Exchange and Wabasha street,
are the only relatives Bambery had In
this city. He had relatives In Chicago
and the East. He was. born in Ireland
The body was identified yesterday by E.
M Wilson, a clerk in the employ of
Floan & Leveroos, clothiers, at Seventh
and Sibley streets, by a suit of clothes
sold to Bambery. some time ago. Later
relatives of the dead man confirmed the
Identification. The body was removed
from the morgue to O'Halleran Muir
phys undertaking rooms. The funeral
will take place from the Cathedral to-
morrow morning at 8 o'clock.

WHEN SEVERAL WOULD BE
TEACHERS PUT MACAULAY IN
"AMERICAN HISTORIANS"
VERY MUCH LIKE CHEATING
When Not Only, This Mistake, but
- Others In History and Some In
Arithmetic Appeared in All of
Half a Dozen Papers Sent In From

-. lions Were Held Last-Week. @s-.

Prof. John H. Lewis, state superin-
tendent of public instruction, came into
his public office with an idea firmly in
trenched in his mental Notifications that
while the lawyer might stretch a point
to favor his client, the medical practi-
toner has a code of ethics ,of his own,
If there was one profession among them
all that stood for high ideals, it was that
of the teacher, to whom was intrusted
the molding, in large part, of the char
acter of the rising generation
This trusting faith received a severe
Jolt when he learned from evidence SEEM
ingly almost conclusive that school SUI
perintendents had been grating in va
rious amounts from book concerns and
other establishments of more or less
commercial nature.
Jolt No. 2 was given this gentle conf
dence In pedagogical ideals when he OBJ
served the accommodations of libraries in
the private stores of normal school pres
idents, and now, for a third time, his
confidence is shaken, not only In those
who are in positions of responsibility, but
Of those who are trying to obtain places
where they may teach the young idea
how to shoot, and, presumably, how to
lie and cheat.
when one Of the questions asked at an
examination of applicants for teachers
licenses said Prof. Lewis yesterday.
was to name five American historians,
it would not be remarkable, perhaps, If
several students in a single town should
reply with the names Of Bancroft, Fiske
and three others of lesser prominence, all
alike, but when in one community, the
name of which I would not like to have
you publish, five or six of the applicants
alike include in this list Macaulay, who
has no claim at all to be an American
historian, 1t looks to me as If it, was time
for suspicion.
But to add to. this, another question
on the same sheet asked for the names
of five noted abolitiomsts. When a
prominent Confederate generals name
was included in these same sheets, uni
formly, it added to my previous suspi-
cion.
Carrying the inquiry little farther,
l found that even in arithmetic these ap-
plicants from this same community had
made a similar mistake in the process OF
working out a problem, and had yet gone
on through and arrived at the right an
swer 1 have not yet decided what to
do in such a case. 1t seems to me, how
ever, that those who have to resort to
such methods at an examination are
neither morally nor intellectually fitted
for teaching positions in our schools, II
the standard of education is to be main
tanned at ALL
