YES, 1T WAS STRANGE
An Iowa Farmer Loses $3.50 on a
Stranger.

Miles Jacobs, farmer from Ogden,
Iowa, was the victim of a confidence man
to-day and as consequence lost $3.50.
While the sum is not large, it placed the
young farmer in an embarra ssing posi-
tion as he needed the amount to take him
to his destination in North Dakota.
: Jacobs came to the city last night in.
tending to leave this evening for Ana
moose, N. D. He went to the Milwaukee
depot this morning to see about his ticket,
and while there met stranger who in
quired where he was going When Jacobs
Informed him that he was going to Anh-
moose, the stranger exclaimed:
Isn't that strange? Why, am post
master at Anamoose and am going up on
the next train. We can travel together
But, say, I have some baggage at the
Golden West Hotel, across the street
Will you help me carry it over to the
depot?"
Jacobs readily agreed, and the two men
went to the hotel. The stranger entered
the hotel and told Jacobs to wait for him.
He was gone but minute when he re-
turned and asked Jacobs to change $40
bill which he had in his hand. Jacobs
started to produce the change, and when
he had taken $3.50 from one pocket the
stranger reached out and took it and
walked into the hotel. Jacobs waited in
vain for him to return, and finally real
lied that he had been robbed and reported
to police headquarters. -
Detective Brundage was detailed on the
case and brought in two men. but Jacobs
was unable to identify them. In the
meantime Jacobs has pawned his shotgun
and will leave for Anamoose tonight.

IN COUNCILS HANDS
Plan for Converting City Hall Into
Public Baths.
MUST ACT ON MERITS OF PLAN
The Man Who Offers to Give the
Money Not u Sup
plicant.

The proposition to convert the old city
hall into public bathhouse was presented
to the council last evening in the form Of
petition by Health Commissioner P. M.
Hall. 1t was referred to a committee of
one alderman from each ward. The alder
men would like to sell the whole build
ing and secure some money for the city,
but will undoubtedly heed the voice Of the
people.
If the people want public bathhouse
they will get it. The anonymous citizen
whose public spirit has prompted him to
offer to bear the expense Of constructing
whatever may be necessary for complete
bath plant stands ready to make good the
promise he made to the people through
the columns of h j our a l.
He has the money and is willing to
spend 1t for the purpose outlined. He is
not, however, seeking any publicity and
doubtless will decline to appear before
the council committee. AS he expresses
it, he is not importuring the council for
an opportunity to spend some money If
the council does not see fit to devote the
old building to public baths and lava
tories, the matter is ended. for he will
not be supplicant.
DR.. Hall, the commissioner Of health,
however, will urge, with all the eloquelce
he possesses, the council committee to
accept the proposal.

THE SIXTH WARD SLATE
Republicans Pick Their Candidates
for legislative Honors. 7r-:,.

Republicans Pick Their Candidates
for Legislative Honors., 7d-.:i,
Sixth ward republicans met last eve-,
ming to select two candidates as repre-
sentatives in the legislature. The sixth
ward Is Joined with the fifth in the forty
first legislative district, which is entitled
to four seats in the lower house Of the
legislature. Last year the fifth ward
'gobbled'' all four places, because it had
tho larger republican vote of the two. The
sixth warders were then told that, If they
would only ''get together" on two candi-
dates the fifth would support them. Four
residents Of the ward have already an
nounced themselves, and the meeting last
evening was teld for the purpose Of elimi-
mating two of them. The first ballot re-
suited as follows: Iver c. Nelson los:
Adolph E. L. Johnson, 81; C. S. Dokken;
g., ard J. W. Stokes, "a. 1t is understood
that Dokken and Stokes will now pull out
of the race.
A much harder task appears, however.
There are five or six in the fifth ward. and
unless some method Of reducing the num-
Der to two is devised, the fifth ward will
take all the four places on the ticket and
the sixth will again be without represent
tation.

A VAIN HOPE
Malcontents Credited With
Trying to Secure DR..
Ames' Return.

~
Notwithstanding the fact that his resig-
nation has been sent in to take effect Aug.
27, it is ,rumored that an effort is being
made to induce Mayor Ames to return to
Minneapolis and turn over the new re-
gime. .~
1t is the understanding that special en-
voys are now with the doctor at West Ba-
den in the interests OF some Of his more
recently discharged appointees. There
appears to be small chance of Ames' re-
turn, however, for those who have the
most influence with him are understood to
have given up the fight. The most he
could do would be to attempt an over
turning, which could easily be defeated
by the acceptance of his resignation. This
might entail the expense Of special cleo
tion, or, in the absence of any one to
force the issue, the acting mayor might be
allowed to serve TIL Jan. 1.
