Minnesota Saints Win It by Defeat
ing St. Louis Twice.
GAMES VIEWED BY BIG CROWDS
Scored a Sharp, Clean
Shut-Out.

There seems to be at least one good
team I'M the American association, any
way. Doubtless the.7 are all good, but
only one has had chance to display its
prowess. This is the ST. Paul team which
stands before the world of baseball as
having Won two consecutive games from
the St. Louis club on it's own grounds.
1t We're shame to call the St. Paul club
minor league team after taking a
recognized major league team into camp
In such a humiliating manner ~
Manager Mike Kelley ought to have
been almost distracted by the manner in
which attacks were made on his team by
the National association and especially by
George Stallings. He lost his veteran
backstop, Bill Wilson. then the speedy
and lucky third baseman Dave Brain
Winters went his way and over his de-
parture there is genuine regret. Finally
Outfielder Warner departed. Stallings Of
fered a big increase to Miller Higgins
and Catcher Hurley, but they waved the
tempter aside. '.-t
The holes We're patched up and Kelley
did the best he could in training his
colts. He was so successful that when
he took the youngsters to St. Louis they
ran away with Donavans cardinals.

West Superior, Wis, April THE effort
Of Superior people interested in dredging

other appropriations will naturally follow
for different localities on the great lakes.
A memorial has been prepared by all Oh
the dredging men on the great lakes.
There are ninety-six dredges on the
great lakes at present. The owners are
compelled to have about as many tugs for
the work and several times as many
scows In addition there are dry docks,
dredging yards of various kinds and ma
chine shops and things OF that kind, all
of which represent an outlay Of $4,000
O0O These plants have been erected Tor
the purpose OF doing government work. 1t
is figured that the private work done by
the concerns would not keep 20 per cent
OF the outfits busy during the year.
The memorial says that OF course the
primary object of having the dredging
plants for the government is to cut down
expense Then the dredging combination

in years past there has been work done
by the private contractors much cheaper

In this harbor the Barker and Williams
companies have done the work for S12

The dredge men say they are entitled
to some protection. They have spent all
of their lives in the business and to build
these government plants would mean the
ruin of their entire business from the
fact that there is little private work.

COINAGE OF GOLD
Director Roberts Is Making No Eff
fort to Limit It.
DENIES SOME RECENT STORIES
Aa Has Opposed Bills for New Assay
Offices, but Gives Good
II, Reasons.

Special to The Journal.
Fort Dodge, Iowa, April George E.
Roberts, director of the mint, In an inter
View exploded the newspaper reports
which have been freely circu-
lated to the effect that he may
limit the coinage of gold, grounded on the
rumor that Mr.. Roberts had ordered work
TO be discontinued on the new mint at
Denver.
Mr.. Roberts said: Nothing could be
more absurd than the suggestion that
the director of the mint may limit the
coinage Of gold. He could not If dis
posed to. The mints OF the United
States are open by law to the free coin
age of gold and bound to receive all that
is brought to them. The construction
Of the new mint at Denver has been de-
layed by the insolvency of contractor.
but there is a government assay office
in the city which in the meantime re-
ceives bullion and forwards it at gov
eminent expense to the mint at Philadel-
phia." t...
Mr.. Roberts said that the report of his
disposition to discourage gold production
had its origin in his opposition to several
bills for the establishment of new assay
offices In recently established mining dis
tricts. \ government assay office, he
said. Is virtually an outside agency for a
mint. Bullion is received, paid for, and
transported to the mint at the expense
OF the government. Naturally, every
new mining district wants government
assay office. ..
The present director OF the mint has
opposed the multiplication Of these Of
fees, having been convinced that the
service given the public was usually not
OF sufficient Importance to justify the ex-
pense to the treasury. The whole ques-

DAILY BLOWS
Brought on Appendicitis.

Ii person will continue to put a lit
tie poison in the body each day, for in
stance like a cup OF coffee each morning
when coffee acts as a poison, and it fire.
quentIy does, the result Will be an attack
some day in some Of the organs of the
body. The little disturbances each day
pile UP and finally become big disturb
ance.
Many cases of appendicitis have been
brought on by coffee drinking. 1t first
affects the nerves Of the stomach, and the
disorder travels on down through the
bowels and results in some kind of bowel
trouble, frequently appendicitis.
A lady in Fredonia, N. Y. says: Dur
Ing my school life, both as a student and
teacher, l drank coffee regularly. Most
Of the time l knew the coffee was injur-
ing me, but did not feel like giving it up.
First my nerves felt the effect and later
on constipation developed and after that
the last year / had severe attack of
appendicitis. My doctor and friends all
agreed that these troubles were largely
caused by coffee drinking.
While l was Ill some Postum was sent
me by friends. l supposed it was coffee
and hesitated at the first cup, but when
the difference was explained, and drank
as much as cared for with such good
results, concluded Postum was tust
what wanted and have used 1t ever since.
1t greatly aids digestion, is nourishing
and refreshing.
My food and nourishment while get
ting we'll from appendicitis were Postum
and Grape Nuts
IF / had known of Postum years ago |
might have been saved a tremendous
amount of suffering brought on by coffee
drinking.
REV. Is one of my converts to
Postum. He suffered greatly from dys-
pepsia, but has entirely recovered since
he quit coffee and began using Postum.
''Dr. -, who suffered long while
: from nervous troubles. says Postum
brought him out when he quit coffee, and
he constantly urges it on his patients
who are coffee drinkers"

The work of renovating was begun
March PA. Three hundred and fifty In
dams had to be supplied with new cloth
ing and their reed wigwams burned. Old
clothing had to be burned and new
tepees supplied and disinfectants show

first the Indians We're decidedly refrac-
tory and it seemed for a time. it would
be necessary to call out the militia. One
of the principal things that contributed
toward allaying their excitement was the
red blankets with which it was decided
to replace the old ones. These caught
the savage eye in a weak spot, and the
effect was marvellous. What hurt the feel
ings of the warriors worse was the fact
that every one OF them had to be dipped
in solution of corrosive sublimate. Even
the animals had to go. through this
process, and the dogs were baptized as
impartially as were their owners.
Before the Indians would consent to al
low the renovating to proceed at all, how
ever, the chiefs held a council, and, as
DR.. Linn describes it, classical pow
WOW was held in the council room of the
big chief, Push-ie-t to -nique. The pledge
of Dr.. Linn, who was known as the Big
White Medicine Man, was obtained that

are only taken from their coverings al
their great feasts once OF twice year
should not be subjected to the fumes Of
