NEW CITY ATLAS
Real Estate Board Emphasizex Need
of One.

The need OF new city atlas was pre-
sented at the real estate boards meet
Ing by F.. G. James of the executive COM
mittee. An atlas printed in 1892 and re-
printed IN 1893, with "stockers' addi-
tons. Is the only thing extant. The real
estate men feel greatly the need of some
thing new showing the late street open
1ngs and all the various changes in the
last ten years. 1t Is impossible to point
out on the present maps where sewers
and water pipes have been put In In the
last few years. The index Of additions
also needs corrections. The only recent
map OF the city is that issued by the
Minneapolis real estate board Mr.. James
was appointed to confer with the atlas
companies.
1t was the sense Of the meeting that
the bylaws referring to appraisal fees
needed revision. Within the next two
weeks the board will give dinner to It's
members, and later a banquet will be
given the St. Paul real estate board.

GIRL WAS MISLED
Country Girl Induced to Come to St.
Paul by Deceit.


Miss Hines, aged 20 years, daughter of
the proprietor Of small hotel at Spring
field Mimi, came to st. Paul yesterday to
secure work as solicitor for an orphanage
which is not known to state charitable
workers. A few days ago she met two
we'll dressed young women in her town,
who said they were soliciting funds for
the orphanage and they offered Miss
Hines a position. She was instructed to
meet the women at the depot in st. Paul
yesterday and she kept her appointment,
but the women were not to be found. Rev.
E. P. Savage offered to secure transpor-
tation for the girl home but she did not
want to turn, and was given employ
ment at the children's home, 464 Fairfax
avenue, St. Paul.
The police have heard before of the
two women who induced, the girl to come
to the city, as they have others, and are
looking for them.

KEEP BOOK AGENISAWAY
\ REQUEST BY SCHOOL BOARD
The Text Book Committee Looks
Over the Ground Preparatory
to New Contracts.

Members Of the board of education text
book committee do not believe in book
agents. In fact majority of the COM
mittee regards an agent as an unmiti-
gated nuisance and something to be abated
II possible. Some time ago the board
passed a resolution ordering agents for
text book concerns to keep out of the
schools; but even this proved ineffective
as the persuasive vendors Of educa tional
pabulum sought out the principals and
teachers in their homes and insisted upon
explaining to them the many points of
superiority by the Ananias histories
over all others.
Far from being accepted as compli-
ment and a nice apprecia ton of their
abilities, the teachers, it is said, resented
this intrusion Of "shop' into their
leisure hours; and, while the agents were
received courteously when there was no
way of getting out Of it, the schoolma ans
were frequently mot at home" when the
publishers emissary called.
This state Of affairs was known to the
textbook committee and at their meeting
yesterday the committee, by vote OF
three to one, instructed the secretary to
notify all book publishers that agents
were not wanted in this territory On
their part the committee agreed to notify
publishers whenever changes were con-
templated In text books. This action,
! however, must be- ratified by the board as
a whole before 1t becomes effective.
There is little likelihood of any changes
in school books this year. The time limit
for which the present books were adopted
expires in June, but in all probability, the
| same books will be again ordered, posi-
| bly, for another three years.
Members Of the committee say that the
books now in use have proved satisfac-
tory, and that none better are published
| Moreover, change would entail an ex-
| pense of about $4,000; while, if the pres.
ent books are retained, the necessary an.
preparation will not exceed $4,000.
| The committee is made up of N. F.
! Hawley, John A. Schlener and w. K
! Hicks, with President T. F. Quinby as an
ex-of1cio member.

SURE OF A SEAT
A Man Who Carries Chair for Use on
Street Cars.

Street Cars.
There is one long suffering strap holder
who lives out Sixth avenue NJ with whom
patience ceased to be virtue. For many
weary months-years, perhaps-he stood
in the cars night after night, with an
aching back, and taken his medicine like
the rest of his fellow sufferers. But
finally it got to be too much Of STAND
ing" joke with him, and his inventive
mind found a way out Of the difficulty.
To his work each morn he now carries q
folding, skeleton chair, and every evening
around the rush hour he calmly unpacks
his portable and sits him down content,
for, crowded as car may be-, he in
variably finds space enough for his chair.

IT'S SURE TO PASS
Ordinance Giving Omaha Road the
Ground Desired.
coM'L CLUB OPPOSITION ENDED
Statement Made Before Meeting of
the Joint Committee
Yesterday.

The Commercial club yesterday formally
Withdrew Its opposition to the ordinance
granting the Omaha railway company the
terminal concessions desired in North
Minneapolis. 1t is now seemingly but a
matter of short time until the company
Will be free to begin the work of extend
Ing Its terminals in Minneapolis to meet
the demands of it's expanding business
The committee to which the ordinance
was referred nearly year ago consisted
OF the members Of the railroad and ordi-
nance committee and the aldermen of the
third ward, and all were present at yes
terdays session. There were present
from the Commercial club President Paul,
c. M. Harrington, H. c. Akeley, F. A.
Chamberlain, T. B. Walker, James S. Bell
and John Leslie, and each in turn said
in effect that the time had come for the
club to withdraw its opposition to the
company's program and for the council to
grant the concessions asked for. The
unanimous sentiment was that it was the
best policy for the city's business inter-
ests to afford the railways the best pos
sible facilities to do business in Mime
apolls, and to trust to the future to get
the concessions desired from the COM
panies. There were effective ways of ex-
erting pressure on railway companies OUT
side Of the city council, it was pointed
out. The business interests of the city
could bring about needed reforms in this
regard through their own efforts as the
occasion arose. A policy of Cancellation
seemed to be the best course to take at
this time.
Commercial Clubs Views.
President Paul presented the formal
sentiments Of the club in the following
resolutions, adopted by the public affairs
committee at a meeting earlier in the
day:
1. That the public affairs committee make
no further opposition to the vacation of said
streets.
2. That it is the sense of this committee
that the Omaha road should run its local
trains on its Iowa and Minnesota division to
and from Minneapolis via the Minneapolis &,
st. Louis tracks from Merriam Junction.
3. That this change would be of great
benefit to the mercantile interests of the city
4. That no satisfactory reason has been
given by the railroad for it's refusal to change
said train service, and that this club should
insist upon and continue to work for said
change.
Alderman D. P. Jones and ex-Alderman
M. B. Lloyd spoke in the same strain as
the others. s
Inasmuch as there was no one present
representing the railway company, the
committee decided to postpone action for
two weeks in order to hear from the COM
pany. The ordinance introduced last year
protects the city amply in all regards and
will probably go through without change.
The changed attitude of the Commercial
club makes it certain now that the ordi-
nance will be adOpted .r-

HOUSE CLEANING
MEANS MUCH HARD WORK FOR
WOMAN AT THIS TIME OF YEAR.
Unusual Exertion Does Not Result In
Il Breaking Down of the Health.

In the enervating weather of spring,
when the system is at its lowest state
OF vitality, most women clean house.
This means much hard work and, un-
less proper precautions are taken,
breaking down of the health is inevi-
table. Mrs. Mary Lee, of No. 226 Wa
ter street, Eau Claire, Wis, had an ex-
'perience of this nature and what she
says is of interest to every woman.
In the spring of $780," she says,
the effects of over-work, which had
been telling upon me for some time,
caused general breaking down of my
health. | became very nervous, with
severe headaches and dizzy spells and
had such agonizing pains across the
chest that | could not raise my arms
without undergoing horrible tortures.
could not sleep Tor more than an hour
at time, | felt worn out and all my
ambition was gone.
After | had been in this condition
for five years, my mother, who lives in
Allenford, Ont, recommended that
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. | began taking them and, al
though my case was stubborn one,
in short time | was better, and in
four months l was entirely cured. 1t
always gives me pleasure to recon-
mend DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People to any who suffer as did, for
Ifknow this medicine will help them"
The best medicine to tone up and
strengthen the system so that hard
work will not result in sickness or de-
hility is one that will act directly on
the blood and nerves. Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People do this as
no other preparation can, and what
these wonderful vegetable pills have
accomplished is shown in thousands of
instances as remarkable as the one
above.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are sold in boxes (never in
bulk) at fifty cents box or six boxes
| for two dollars and fifty cents, and
| may be had of all druggists or direct
by mail from DR.. Williams Medicine

Williamsburg.

Williamsburg, April 29.-Last Fri
day a number from the high school
took the train for Anamosa, to take
part in the contest and the baseball
game. The ball game took place at
the fair grounds, and the score stood
to 2 in favor of the Williamsburg
high school boys. 1t was splendid
game from beginning to end. The
contest took place in the evening at
the opera house. In this part, the
oratorical class, the first was taken by
Lee Brittell of Maquoketa. The title
of her selection was "Regulus to the
Roman Senate" The second was TAX
en- by w. G. Strack of Grundy Center.
In the dramatic class the first was TAX
en- by Miss Edna Smith of Centerville,
the title being "Zingerella'; the sec
ond by Miss Grace Griffith of Ana
mosa, the title being How La Rue
Stakes Were Lost" In the humorous
class the first was taken by Miss
Grace Smith of Corning. This selec-
ton received especial comment, and
all the other efforts showed hours of
careful thought and training. Blaine
Nicholas selection, "McKinley's
Faith" came under the oratorical
class and all who heard him say he
was exceptionally good,for the amount
of training he put on the piece, but he
failed to win the aonors, as all the
other contestants had been trained by
professionals, and, of course, this was
hard to compete against. Williams
burg is very we'll pleased with the re-
ception and entertainment it received
while in Anamosa, and reports royal
good time.
