OHAGE ASKS FOR NEW
CHARTER AMENDMENT
Wants the Garbage Pror1m Turned Over
To His Department for
Solution.

'"That the collection of garbage, dead
animals, rubbish and night soil be done
by the department of health"
This is the amendment to the charter
which Health Commissioner Ohage re-
quests the commission give the people
chance to vote on at the coming election.
AS an argument for this change, the COM
missioner points out that two years ago
when this work was done by contract
labor and by an inadequate force the
object was to get as much out of the
city and do as little in return as posi-
Bile. At present the sum of $175,000 is set
aside annually for the street, sewer and
garbage fund, the understanding being
that SIS, 900 is allowed for garbage remov-
in 1900 was $1,000, and the salary Of four
inspectors 49, 036, making total of $19.-
DAG, and in 1901 the cost, Including the
salary Of inspectors, was $19,934. In adj
dition to this 1000 loads of rubbish were
removed each year and thousands of lots
and alleys cleaned up. The amount ex-
pended was less by 1000 than the $25, 900
which was intended to be spent for the
work
In 1902, up to Sept. l., the department
collected all the garbage and dead ami
mails, removed 1,575 loads of rubbish,
cleaned up 1905 empty lots, cleared 2,207
empty lots Of weeds, cleaned 5SS alleys
and paid the salaries of four inspectors
at a total cost of $13,772 Tofhelp make
the burden easier on the taxpayers, 81, 045
has been received and paid into the gen
eral fund for garbage sold to farmers
leaving the total cost $12,71S, and yet the
comptroller reports the fund is ex-
hausted while but about half the appro-
priation has been expended. The health
department of the city, the commissioner
says, is responsible for the sanitary con-
dition and the refusal on the part of the
commission to turn the work back again
to the health department would be a step
backward to the old slum from which
the city has been emancipated.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT
PRICE OF COAL
New Heater That Avoids Necessity
of Using the Hard
Article.

AT this season Of the year, when we
are on the threshold of a long and
rigorous winter, with the unsettled
condition existing in the anthracite
coal region, probably the foremost
thought in the minds of the neopIe of
the Northwest is the fuel-saving prob
lem. This applies to wood as well as
coal, for only yesterday the local deal
erS received advice from the source
of their supplies that it would be i'm
possible to make quotations on wood
as well as coal. Fortunately for the
people of this section of the country the
Doyle Air Burner company has invad-
ed this field, and has opened sales and
show rooms at 80 West Fifth street
All Of it's furnaces stoves and ranges
are made especially for the using of the
new Doyle principle OF combustion"
which are sold on guarantee to save
over SO per cent of fuel.
This principle involves the admis-
sion Of heated air at point where it
is thoroughly mixed with the gases as
they arise from the consuming fuel,
where they ignite, causing a secondary
combustion to take place, creating an
intense heat. which under the old
principle is entirely lost; this is why
an enormous saving is effected.
Mr.. Wood, of Edwards, Wood e. Co.,
III Tic MdllilotLLdll pulluiIS3, eiiio oON Ci GIL
of his personal friends, have interested
themselves in the enterprise, which
would seem to assure it's success.
Mr.. Wood said that he considered it
one of the best and safest investments
that had ever been offered to invest
ors, and that he could personally rec
ommend it to any who are looking for
a gilt-edged proposition.
The company owns the first and only
patents issued in this country on COM
bustion and also patents in all other
patentable countries.
Any who are interested are invited
to call at 80 East Fifth street and see
the furnace and stoves in operation.

RECALLED BY SUIT
Wife of j. n. Biumenauer Demands That
the Royal Arcanum Pay Her
insurance.

The mysterious disappearance of John
Harrison Blumenauer, of Minneapolis,
on June 5, 1895. and the fact that he has
not since been heard Of, are pleaded in
the action begun yesterday in the dis
trict court by his wife, Victoria E. Blu
menauer, to recover $4,000 on a member
ship certificate which he held in the Roy
al Arcanum.
Mr.. Blumenauer was member of Cat
aract Council No; 669, OF Minneapolis.
His wife was designated as the benefi-
ciary in the certificate issued to him
when he Joined the society in November,
1894. This certificate contained the pro-
vision that no suit could be brought on
any =, death =, claim three years after the
death of the member, but the plaintiff
alleges that shortly after the disappear
ance of her husband the defendant enter
ed into contract with her that If she
would continue for seven years to pay the
dues and assessments on the certificate,
1t would pay the $1,000 insurance This
she claims to have done, but alleges that
the seven years having now expired, the
Royal Arcanum refuses to keep its agree

SAVED BY HEROIC WIFE
JOSEPH SINGER, ENVELOPED IN
FLAMES, is RESCUED
Tries to Start Fire With Kerosene
Explosion Occurs and Man Is De-
voured by FIames-Woman Goes to
Rescue, Saves Her Husband and
Then Her Home.

Enveloped In a sea of flames and
crying frantically for help Joseph Sing
er, of North st. Paul, was rescued
from death early yesterday morning
by his wife, who heard his screams of
agony and rushed to his assistance.
She threw blanket about the burning
man, smothering the fire and saving
her husband from literally roasting to
death.
So badly was Singer burned that it
was necessary to remove him to Be
thesda hospital. Last night it was
said that he would probably recover,
but that his condition is serious. He
had not regained consciousness at IL
o'clock and his burns are of such a ma
ture that it will be several days be-
fore he is out of danger
Singer arose early yesterday morn
ing to start the kitchen fire. The kind
ling was wet and would not burn. To
hasten the fire Singer poured kerosene
on the wood. While holding the oil
can in his hand he applied the match
to the timber.
Oil Can ExpIedes.
Instantly the blaze shot high into
the air, igniting the oil in the can.
There was at once an explosion and
the burning liquid was thrown all
over Singers body. He had on his
working clothes and in a moment they
were all ablaze.
Mrs. Singer was sleeping in room
adjoining the kitchen. Her husband
cries awakened her. She dashed from
her bed chamber. One glance was
enough to ascertain the situation. Re-
turning to her room she grabbed a
blanket and again rushed into the
kitchen.
1t was only the work of moment
to wrap the blanket about her husband.
The flames were eXtinguished. But
they had done their terrible work Al
though not dead the mans flesh was
roasted to a brown crisp.
Then She Saved the House.
To add to the misfortune the house
caught fire. Mrs. Singer dragged her
husband from the kitchen to a place
of safety and then returned to fight
the flames. She conquered them I'M
assisted, saving her home from total
destruction.
DR.. Griswold was called and dressed
Singers burns He was Immediately
removed to Bethesda hospital.
Mrs. Singer was badly burned dur
ing her fight with the flames. She is
also Suffering from nervousness.

Fort Smelling is to have a battery Of
artillery. Since fourteen years ago. when
Grimes battery left the post, no artil-
lery has been stationed there The Tenth
battery field artillery has been ordered to
Fort Smelling from Walla Walla, Wash
The battery is relieved from duty at that
post and is ordered to proceed to the Min
nesota stronghold.
The order comes as a surprise tust at
present, as no quarters have been pro-
v1ded for the battery. The new barracks
nave not yet been started and the gun
shed and stables now being erected are
not completed. 1t will be necessary to
quarter the new arrivals in the old bar
racks of the old post temporarily till tha
new barracks are completed.
Old Barracks to Be Used.
Col. George E. Pond, chief quartermas-
ter of the Department of Dakota. said last
night that the old barracks will have to
pc htted UP and made habitable for use
till the new barracks are ready.
The new stables and the gun she'd"
said Col. Pond, may be finished this sea-
son If the weather permits. The work
on the stables will have to be rushed as
too small to accommodate the horses that
will come with the battery. There are
125 horses in each battery.
There are six guns, each needing six
horses; six caissons, each hauled by a
team of six horses; the battery wagon
the forge wagon and the mounted officers
and men require the remainder. There
are $50 men in a field battery"

CORPORATION COUNSEL ADVISES
CHARTER COMMISSION BAL.
LOT is NOT POSSIBLE
AT LAST MOMENT HE
OFFERS ADVERSE OPINION
Says the Charter Can Be Amended
Only at City or Special Election
Point Is Technical and Markham is
Not Sure-commisso Gives Ensi-
neer More Money.

"The intention is that the question
of the adoption of charter ana
amendments be voted upon at city
election. In my opinion/it would not
be competent to submit either the
original charter or any proposed
amendments thereto at an electlon
called for the purpose of electing
state, congressional or county officers.
In other words, the proposed amend
ments could not be submitted to the
vote of the people at the coming cleo
ton. That the amendments could only
be submitted at a special election call
ed for the purpose and held at the
same day as the general election"
Corporation Attorney Markham sub
mitted a lengthy opinion to the char
ter commission at it's session last
night, the substantial part of the same
being the paragraph above quoted. AS
usual, Mr.. Markham, at the close OK
his opinion, rather takes the back
track by saying that he is not sure
that his views are correct, but, as
there are able lawyers on the COM
mission, he submits the point for
what it is worth.
Mr.. Markham also makes the point
that it is too late to call special
election for the reason that the first
day of registration has passed and the
provision of the election law makes
the day of registration a part of the
election.
Members Are Divided.
The communication from the cor
poration attorney occupied the atten-
ton Of the commission until nearly
midnight, and then an adjournment
was taken until Friday night at the
court house, where the matter will
again be considered. The members
were divided on the question of the
legality Of submitting amendments to
the voters, but the majority favored
the calling of special election on the
same day as the general election.
The session of the commission last
night was an executive one, and after
an adjournment was had the secretary
reported that the following proposed
amendments had been agreed to:
Amendments Agreed On.
The engineering department to be
given $4,000 for clerk hire.
The collection and removal of gar
bage to be removed from the engineer
ing department and placed in charge
of the health commissioner, with an
annual appropriation of $4,000, of
which $4,000 is for maintenance Of
the department.
The street and sewer maintenance
fund to be increased from $4,000 to
$175,000.
The fire department appropriation to
be increased from $215,000 to $225,000.
The fire commissioners asked for an
increase of 5000 or a levy of 8 mills.
The commission voted down the
proposed amendment offered by the
Anti-Vaccination society abrogating
the compulsory vaccination of pupils
as one of the requisites for admission
to the public schools.
The question of allowing the various
departments to- carry forward the I'M
expended balances was also voted

DIES FROM OVERDOSE
OF A DEADLY DRUG
John L. O'keefe Takes Opium to Produce
Sleep and Goes Into Eternal
SIumber.

John S. O'Keefe died at St Joseph's
hospital early yesterday morning from
the effects of opium poisoning. He was
found unconscious in his bed at o'clock
and died two hours later.

Robert street drug store, and it is thought
that he took an overdose. Acting Coro-
ner Whitcomb says that death was the
result of opium or morphine poisoning
When Mrs. OKeefe tried to awaken her
husband yesterday morning he failed to
respond to her call. When she found
that she could not awaken him, she
called Drs. Wheaton, Whitcomb and Box
ell. All attempts to resuscitate the man
failed. He was then removed to St Jo-
seph's hospital, but died without regain
ing consciousness.
O'Keefe is survived by widow and
one daughter. He was thirty eight years
of age and was born in st. Paul. For
the past eighteen years he was employed
at Mannheimer Bros. OKeefe was a
member of the Junior Pioneers and the
