FORMING A JUNCTION

Another street car line is going into
and through the First ward.
The Wichita Electric Street Railway
company has decided to build line south
on Emporia avenue as far as Harry
street. thence west 10 Main, forming a
belt line in that part of the city.
Work viii begin almost Immediately
and cars viii be running on the line by
June l. If not month earlier.
The gain in population in the First
ward has been 50 great during the past
year or two that the company finds itself
justified in increasing the service and
accommodations in that part Of the city.
The Main street line is now overcrowd-
ed. especially at certain times Of the day
and would be more crowded stin, but for
the fact that it is a long ways TO walk
from Main street to Emporia avenue.
The fact is. that Emporia avenue at pres
ent, is practically outside the sphere of
street car accommodations.
The company neither affirms or denies
that the extension viii be made at once
but the authority for the above state
ments are beyond question.

BOLD ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY
Two Tramps Brew KNIVES on Harry
ZEmIHerfy.

Mrs. Bryan, of this city, has recently
received a letter from her brother, Harry
ZimmerIy, from which it was learned
that he came near losing all his money
after leaving here.
Harry had been here several weeks WIS.,
iting his relatives and returned to his
gold mines in Alaska. He was on pas
senger train on the Santa Fe last Sun
day and Whe nabout q mile beyond Car
den City, the engine became disabled.
Harry says he left the train and walked

attempt was made 20 role him.
It was ia the afternoon and broad day.
light. so that the former Wichita man
was not in the least alarmed when two
men met him on the railroad track and
asked him to make q donation TO buy
them meal He gave up nalf dollar Of
his hard cash, when each OF the men
drew a knife and told Mr.. Zimmerly that
they would take charge Of any other cash
that he might have about mis- clothes.
All right said Mr.. Zimmerly, you
can have IT." He whipped out his revol-
yer when the tramps looked like drop
ping into the earth they were so sur
prised. Zimmerly made them throw down
the half dollar which he had given them
and march on. lie said the men evidently
did not have a gun with them. He would
have marched them up to the town but
he said ne was afraid they would com
pei him to remain there as a witness
against the tramps.
He had the money in his pockets to pay
his way to Alaska and if the men had
drawn a gun and got the drop on him
he thought ne would have been compelled
to postpone his journey to the far north.

GIVE SECOND ENTERTAINMENT
EsOer Scout Entertainment Was Very
Successful 4 fair.

The Boer Scout entertainment was well
attended by an intelligent and appreci-
alive audience, Captain Henry's scenery
showing many battles that took place be
tween Boer and British were flashed on
the canvas and explained by Mrs. Henry
and We're very interesting TO the audi
ence.
Captain Henry's lecture was instruct
i've and net with great applause. He
showed signs of deep emotion several
times while picturing TO the audience
the horrors Of the c0ncentrat ton camps
and the cruelues prscticed by the British
and it proves that he has his work at
heart and deserves aid in the noble cause
he is working for.
Mrs. Captain Henry's address to the
audience was greatly appreciated and
aroused great sympathy for her and her
people No person can refuse to sign
their petition after hearing her pathetic
plea 20 the American people to enforce
the neutrality laws. which is asking the
president of the United States TO stop the
sale of mules and horses and munitions
of war 70 the British and give her brave
people a chance to fight England alone.
After the entertainment the petition was
unanimously signed and Captain and

WHISKY TEST CASE
DAIRY AND FOOD DEPARTMENT
WILL PROSECUTE DULUTH
DEALER
THE OUTCOME IS IMPORTANT
IL state Wins, Several Crusadcs
Against BAD Whisky Will Be
gin-Law Is Defective
at Present.

The state dairy and food departments
crusade against adulterated whisky has
been commenced and next Tuesday Will
decide whether or not it Is to be contin-
ued or not. The departments first test
case is one against Capt Henry Savage,
OF Duluth a dispenser Of ''bowery
booze" in that burg The department
has waited for a long time to secure
what it deemed a good case for a test
AT the legislative session of 1901 a whisky
law was passed, and in July the depart
ment started out to force retailers to
throw bad Liquors out of the back door
Some SOD samples were secured from
nearly every saloon in st. Paul, Mime
apolis and Duluth. The whisky was
found to be very bad on the whole hard
ly per cent of it being pure The de-
partment discovered, however, when it
was ready to prosecute, that there was
flaw in the law, in that II specified no
standard for legal whisky. Under the
law as it is dealers can be prosecuted
only on the ground that the whisky is
"deleteriOus to public health" The de-
partment has been waiting for a good
case. They think they have it.
Otto Gifvert, an agent of the dairy and
food commission. purchased two half
pint bottles of whisky from Savage and
sent them to the state chemist for analy-
sis. When it was analysed it was found
to contain a large percentage of ''amyl"
alcohol, which is said to be poisonous
and deadly chemical. On the strength Of
this report a warrant was issued for the
arrest of Savage. The department has
been comforting with the city attorney
of Duluth for several weeks on the pros
poets Of securing conviction, if the case
was brought to trial A letter was re-
ceived from the city attorney yesterday
stating that the case is SET T%5r trial on
Tuesday March 25 and asking for the
presence of State Chemist Hortvet and
other members of the department con-
nected with the case
The city attorney thinks that he will
be able to successfully prosecute Savage.
The defense will claim that it cannot be
absolutely proved that the whisky ana
lyzed by the chemist is the same whisky
sold to Gifvert. The whisky was sent to
the department by express, and the de-
Tense Will claim that unless the original
bottles in which the whisky was sent,
and the express tags for the same can
be produced and identified, a clear case
is not made. Evidently no defense will
be made that the liquor sold is not i'm
pure.
Upon the outcome of the case depends
the future action of the department on
the question Of inspection Of liquors. If
the state loses, no further efforts will be
made until the next legislature fixes the
law so that it will be possible to success
fully prosecute vile tanglefoot under it.
If the state wins its case, the depart
ment will begin vigorous crusade to To-
cate whisky which is doctored with
knockout drops and other ingredients
detrimental TO health.

RACHEL NOT KILLED
CORONER'S FINDINGS ON DEATH OF
ST. PAUL MAN AT ST..
PETER ASYLUM
WAS NOT ABUSED BY KEEPERS
Board of Control Will Not InveAtI-
gate Case Further Unless Com
piaint Is FiIed-QuestiOn
of Restraint.

President S. w. Leavitt, of the state
board of control, yesterday received the
report Of the coroners jury relative to
the death of Anto Rachel, of ST. Paul
who died at the st. Peter insane asylum
Feb. y, three days after being received
at that institution. There had been hints
and charges that death was the result of
injuries received by the patient from
/ rough handling on the part of asylum
attendants. The coroner's jury reports
that death was due to Inflammation of
the brain, and that the injuries to the pa
tient were accidental, and had nothing
whatever to do with his death.
It states that KacheTs ribs were not
broken, but that he was bruised, and
the bone had separated from the cartil-
age.
1t was stated that before Rachel was
committed to the hospital he had been
detained in town one night and cared for
by outsiders, whether by friends at their
home or in the county Jail, the report
does not state, but it says that he was
very violent all night. He imagined those
in charge of him wanted to kill him.
and fought savagely. He was also violent
after his commitment and it required
the efforts of two attendants to control
him.
The board Of control believes that the
coroner's report disposes of the case.
as far as it is concerned, and no further
action will be taken, unless those who
have claimed that the mans death was
due to his injuries press their contaa-
| ton, file complaints and demand an in
vestigation. The board will order no
| investigation unless formal complaint is
made.
The members of the board of control
! believe that the question of restraint is
one which the superintendent of each in
stitution must settle for himself, and the
board has not interfered with the super
lntendents in this respect.
The superintendents at Fergus Falls
| and Rochester use a mild form of me-
chanical restraint, while Supt Tomlinson.
at st. Peter, sides with those who believe
in personal restraint of patients, on the
ground that they are less likely to be in
jured than they are with mechanical
| devices.
While the members of the board of
control are inclined to favor mechanical
control, they have left it to the superin
tendents of the several institutions until
the advantages and disadvantages of both
systems could be tested Should the
mechanical devices prove superior their
use will be ordered regardless of the in
! dividual opinions of the officers.

FEED WIRES NEXT
PLACED UNDERGROUND
WITH OTHERS
SOURCE OF GREAT DANGER
Inspector Varnum Says Experience
With Large Fires Proves They
Are Menace to Life
and Property.
SOURCE OF GREAT DANGER

The heavy feed wires of the street rail-
way company, now trayersing the major
ity of the streets in the business district
of ST. Paul, must go underground. This
is the opinion of the fire board, and it
will shortly go before the council in the
shape of a request for an ordinance de-
manding that such be done.
In his annual report submitted to the
board at its meeting last evening, AS
sistant Electrical Inspector Varnum call
ed attention to the existence of these
wires, and recommended that they be
placed under ground without delay. The
board took no action, but the sentiment
displayed was sufficient to show that the
recommendation will be acted upon at
an early date.
With the exception of the street rail-
way companys feed wires, nearly all the
wires in the business district have, dur
ing the past two years, been forced I'M
derground Efforts to bring the street
car company to a realization that it's ca
bles would be better in conduits have
been frequently made, but each time
without success.
Two of st. PauIs biggest fires have
demonstrated the danger of these cables.
and in the language of Mr.. Varnum, they
constitute a menace to life and property
that should be removed without delay.
In addition to forcing the wires under
ground, he advises the passage of an or
6inance compelling the installation Of
cut-Outs at certain points in the bust
ness district, where they will be accessi-
lie to any member of the fire DEPART
inent. With such. the current could be
cut off from any section of the trolley
cable desired, and a considerable element
Of danger removed.
To place all the company's wires in the
business district underground would
mean considerable expense, and it is not
likely that the company in the event such
is demanded would submit without a
long drawn out fight.
Mr.. Varnum in his annual report, also
recommends that the council be asked to
increase the area of underground district.
The business section of st. Paul is grow
ing yearly, and the mass of aerial wires
with which the district is burdened, he
thinks should be lessened without delay
