The only way in which the bond require

board ten feet back from the sidewalk
line. No board can be more than ten feet
in height and in demanding it placed
that many feet back from the sidewalk

WHEELER SURVEILLANCE
ALLEGED SWINDLER CONSIDERED
TO BE MENTALLY UNSOUND
Had Been Under Care of n Private
Nurse for Month, and a New

arrested on charges of forging the
names of Chicago business men to notes
aggregating 100000. says that his client
is suffering from the excessive use of
some drug, and that he is mentally I'M
balanced. Wheeler has the air of a
prosperous business man. He is small
of stature. bald and wears a beard.
While walking nervously about his hands
and head shook perceptibly, and when
before the bar he had to hold on to the
railing to steady himself.
The attorney requested that he be sent
to Bellevue hospital, where he could be
under the care of his private physician.
He further said that for a month past
Wheeler has been constantly attended
by a private nurse, who knew much
about the alleged attempts on his part
to raise money on the notes. Magistrate
Cornell said that he felt sorry for the
prisoner, and thought he was in need
of medical aid. but upon the statement
of detectives that he could be attended
to by his doctor at police headquarters,
he left him there.
The Chicago police have been COM
municated with, and Mr.. burlington is
on his way East and VIII be on hand

be on hand, according to the counsel,
and state to the court that Wheeler Is

PROHIBITION NO CURE
G. II. LOCKWOOD ENTERTAINs
SOME RATHER RADICAL VIEWS.

Socialism and the Liquor Question
was the subject chosen by G. w Lock
wood for his address BEFORE the
Socialist Labor party yesterday aft
ernoon. From his remarks it is evident
that he is not N favor of the present
prohibition movement, and he declares
that drink is net -4he cause of poverty.
THE prohibition movement of today"
said the speaker, lis simply move on
the part of the. capitalists to distract the
attention of the masses from the more
important question. AS to poverty, pro-
hibition VIII never solve it. If the pro-
hibition party were in power today, and
in position to carry out all of their
prfciples. it would not decrease the pow
erty at all. If you want to know about
poverty look at the wage and capitalism
question There is where the solution
Will have to come fun.
There was a time, fifty years ago
when profit was unknown. It was when
the shoemaker made a pair of shoes and
sold them direct to the consumer. He
did not get profit out of them. mere
was no profit until someone came along
with machine and began to hire men
to work for him. The more profit fer
the producer, the less wage for the work
er is the way the thing stands today.
1t is only question of time when
there will only be tvs classes. The cap
, italst and the poor The se-ealled mid
die class will gradually be forced out of
existence ali through the capitalist svs-
TEN which is even now at the stage of
perfection.
AS to prohibition and socialism there
IS one great difference. The former is a
beautiful theory, but will not work. The
| latter is Just as beautiful theory, and
It viii work and must work because it is

garia, at Grace M. E. church yesterday
Tnorning IAN the brigands and robbers
in that country are either Turks or
Servians. Lawlessness of this type
among the native Bulgarians has been
entirely stamped out, and reflections
upon the government which appear daily
in the American press are most unjust

Bulgaria from the Minnesota conference
for seventeen years. and during part OF
that time has been superintendent of
missions He was recently granted a va

sung in the language of Bulgaria.
In his address DIR. Constantine, after
explaining that Bulgaria is principally
of 3,500,GD9 Of inhabitants, said that the
predominating religion OF the country
as that of the Greek form of the Roman
Catholic church, but the Methodist mis-
sion has fifteen churches there, and has
made encouraging progress. The Metho-
dist church. he said, has had much to
do with Inspiring the people with a spir-
it of independence and liberty. The
speaker. who is himself a convert from

Methodist church in Bulgaria had gained
greatly in influence with the government
and its officials, and that some of the
most powerful of the government Off

RAP AT EVOLUTION
DIS. q. SMITH BREACHES ON AS
CENT pAND Descent OF
MAN
DARWIN AND THE SCRIPTURES
Theories Of Modern Scientists Com
fiict With Teachings of Christ
Descent Due to
Adams Sin.

1.-The doctrine of the descent of man
is of more Importance to the people to-
day than is that OF the ascent of man.. z
said DR.. SamuelsG Smith, pastor of the
Peoples church, in q sermon last even-
ing on the ascent versus the Descent
Of Man" He explained that by the as
cent of man he meant that man had as
cended from the lower animal forms,
while by the descent he referred to the
teaching of the scripture which. is con-
tanned in the genealogy, where it says,
which was the SON of Seth, which was
the son of Adam, which was the Son of
a God?" 60 -
The preacher said the greatest fault he
had to lind with the doctrine of evo1u-
ton is that it, leads people to consider
man simply as an animal. There is moth
ingfdeal about it. Treat a man as you
would your horse IS the result of such
teaching. Feed him well. don't overwork
him and he viii do your will. This, he
said, is contrary to the idea of Christ.
He idealized everything. In man he did
not see an animal, but the being that
was created in the image of God.
Christ did not undertake to teach that
man had assembled from the animals, but
left that for the Darwins and Huxleys
and others who could In future ages exam
inc the evidences and solve the problem
for themselves He taught that man was
the son of God, and as such was entitled
to Gods love and mercy. Every up
lift that the world has received since
the time of Christ is the product or the
God that is in man in an endeavor TO
make the dream of Jesus a reality
He said that the descent of man was
contrasted with his ascent in the fact
that with it was connected sin, which
was the cause of his descent. The pur-
pose of the church is to overcome these
sins and aid man to ascend to the estate
from which he has fallen. When this
is done four things viii be, done away
with. They are sin. suffering, Ignorance
and death, ali of which are not the nat
ural possessions of man, but have come
to him by his descending from God.
DR.. Smith closed with an earnest ap-
peal for an sendeavor to ascend, saying
that it was the only thing to be desired.
He asked for a more earnest study OF
the doctrine of the descent of man and
the paying sef less attention to that OF
the ascent. If this is done more good
will be done for humanity and for the

BAGS A FINE MOOSE
SPEAKER BOWLING RETURNS
FROM AN EXCEPTIONALLY Sue
CESSFUL HUNTING TRIP
HE ALMOST SHOT A FRIEND
Drew Read on Cap of One of His
Party = Too Much Care
Iessness in the
Woods.

Speaker M. J. Bowling, of the legisla-
ture, passed through st. Paul yesterday
on his way home to Renville from the
northern woods, where he has been shoot
ing for the past ten days. Mr.. Bowling
is happy in the possession of the first
moose that mas been taken out of the
woods this season. and also the first one
that has ever fallen victim to his gun
The moose is fine specimen. a bull
about a year and half old.
Il did not know just what to make of
the fellow when 1 first saw him." said
Mr.. Bowling yesterday. 81 was UP pretty
close to him wnen I discovered him, and
while 1 had been looking for moose, OF
course I was not sure that the object
that I saw was one.
All that I have ever seen awe have
been behind screens in different parks,
and I was naturally looking fer the big
branching horns that distinguishes the
class. They were not there on my moose,
however, who appeared very much inter
ested in me. He gaZed at me with his
head erect and his ears forward, and for
few seconds 1 thought ne. was a black
bear. I was at a loss as to whether
to fire or not, but finally decided to take
chance and let go and got him the first
crack out of the box. 1t has been more
trouble to keep track Of him since I have
got him. though. than it was to get him.
First there was the logging train the
conductor of which T had to get to, and
now 1 have got to go down to the ex-
press Office and see about getting the
carcass home
Mr.. Bowling feels very strongly 80 the
many serious accidents That each year
mar the deer hunting season. He feels
that something should be done to prevent
them, if possible, and -. MS that an
agreement between the members Of each
party not to fire at anything, no mat
ter how sure they are that it is deer
until they can distinguish its form. The
color Of the caps and coats worn by most
hunters so closely resembles the hide of q
deer at this time of the year in the I'M
derbush that it is almost impossible al
times to distinguish between the TWO. =
Mr. Downing said that he had bead
on one of his party and kept 1t for some
minutes while the man was moving
about, but he refrained from firing and
discovered at last that he had been cover
ing one of his friends. His party had
agreed not to fire until the form of the
animal could be distinguished plainly
The party was very successful, bringing
down q number of deer.

BRICANDS CANNOT AGREE
DETERMINED ACTION BY FRIENDS
OF MISS STONE IS NEEDED.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Nov. 1.-THE brig
ands who abducted Miss Ellen M. Stone.
the American missionary. and Nine.
Tsilka, her companion, have not yet re-
piled to the latest proposals of Mr.. Dick
inson, diplomatic agent of the United
States in Sofia. This is believed to be
due to the fact that the band has many
leaders, and that the latter are unable
to agree among themselves.
There is general impression here
that time is being frittered away while
waiting for the brigands to reduce their
demands. It is felt that the oniv means
by which matters can be brought to a
head is to inform them as to the sum
available for ransom, and that this can
not be increased. Such a course might
delay the release of Miss Stone. but it
is believed the brigands will accept the
sum offered. Every days delay imperils
on account Of the exposure she is under
going.
