EMPLOYE
James Baker, Great Northern Store
keeper, Admits Thefts.
HE STOLE JOURNAL BRAssEs
Sold Them to Junk Dea1ers-When
Charged With Crime He
Confessed All.

James Baker, 314 Eighth street Sc,
storekeeper at the supply house OF the
Great Northern on the East Side, has
confessed to betraying trust. He robbed
his employers systematically for nine
months before suspicion was directed
toward him. Them suddenly and uneN-
pectedly confronted by officials with dl-
rect charge of robbery, he confessed all,
tellir6 in some detail low he had stolen
the property, kept it in hiding in his barn
and sold it to Junk dealers who met him
by night and made their purchases
warrant was secured for Baker, and the
faithless employe was arrested this morn
ing. ..- .-.
The robberies to which Baker has con-
fessed were the most batting that officers
OF the Great Northern read encountered
in many years. Since last June quantities
of journal brasses have been disappear
ing at intervals from the storehouse Of
the COMPANY Sometimes the amounts
were small, and at other times very large.
Baker, who is inacharge OF the supply
house, was interviewed by the detectives.
Not knowing that it was he who was do
ing the stealing, they took him into their
confidence and enjoined him to keep a
sharp lookout FOR the thief. Receiving
a report from the storekeeper that no
trace of the men could he found they
themselves began to watch. But Baker,
eluded them, and brasses continued to dis
appear from the stock. After several
months watchfulness the detectives al
most gave up in despair, and then, one
night, their attention was called to GER
tain suspicious actions Of Baker, and the
officers watched him.
neiehbor of Bakers had seen certain
Junk dealers visit Bakers barn in the
evening, and, knowing Of the robberies at
the etorehouse, informed officers of the
company. Then. before detective was
ready to make the charge against the en-
ploye, neighbours curiosity got the bet
ter of him. Seeing a peddler come from
Bakers barn one evening with a sack on
his shoulder, he halted him and questioned
him as to his load. The peddler showed
neighbor, his suspicious increased,
grabbed the bag and tore it. open. Out
tumbled a dozen journal brasses that had
never been used.
He told his story to a railroad detective
and the officer got detective of the
| Minneapolis police department and to-
| gether they went to Bakers home. The
| storekeeper was pGiEtedly accused Of the
| robberies, and while at first he seemed in
| clind to make a denial, he broke down and
| frankly confessed He told how he had
stolen systematically from the company
and how he had kept the officers from de-
tecting him. He had taken large num-
| Der Of new brasses, which he sold at 8
great sacrifice, receiving for most of then
only 30 cents apiece. Each brass weighs
| ten pounds and the intrinsic value of the
metal Is 16 cents per pound. So far a.
| is known no other property has been TAX,
en- from the storehouse, but an inventory
! will be taken.

WORK OF THE GERM
Record of the Health Department
for January.
WINTERS RESULTS NOT BAD
An Unusually Large Number Ol
Deaths Result From Heart
Disease.

The report of, Health Commissioner r.
M. Hall for January, which was completed
to-day shows that there were 1876 deaths,
against 200 for December, 1901, and 2oO
for January, 1901. There has also been a
decrease in the number of new cases OF
contagious diseases, except of smali>~:A.
In January there were 90 new cases OF
diphtheria reported; last December there
were 81 and in January, 1901, there We're
ia. OF scarlet fever there were 80 new
cases; 20 in the previous month and 90
in January of last year. There has been
a decided decrease in the number OF cases
of typhoid fever, there being only II cases
in January, as against n in December
and % in January, 1901.
During the month there were deaths
from diDhtheria, GA in January, 1900;
9 from scarlet fever, 6 in January, 19O1) |.
from typhoid fever, Is in January,
1901
This record said health department
official this morning, "shows that unsea-
sonably warm weather in the winter
months does not necessarily mean an in
crease in the spread of contagion. A long
siege Of excessively cold or warm
weather is more ennervating and deDlll-
tating, and renders the body more sus-
ceptible to infections than changeable
weather. OF course, there is always the
exception of pulmonary affections. which
result from lack of care against ex-
posure."
In January just passed there were
eighteen deaths from pneumonia as
against twenty in December.
A most unusual condition Is shown III
the January report by the number .o1
deaths from organic heart disease. Dur
ing the month fifteen persons died very
suddenly of heart failure, and in Deem
Der there were fourteen deaths from the
same cause Deaths from diseases Of the
heart have been unusually frequent this
winter, and the health officers are at a
loss to know the exact cause. 1t is not
believed that it is merely a coincidence.

Changes in Uniform.

Since Roosevelt's Rough Riders adopted
the dun colored Khaki uniform they have
come into pretty general use in the armies
of the world. The British in South Afri-
ca have found them the greatest protec-
ton in fighting on the colorless veldt, but
still the officers are made good targets by
their shining swords and bright buttons
Most army men are In favor Of doing away
with these dangerous badges but it takes
time to make such radical change For
further safety in times of peace we pro-
pose the regular use of Golden Grain
Belt" beer. It strengthens the body
and rests the brain. Every working man
and woman needs such mild tonic and
should have it regularly with the meals.
