MISS BURNS is DIVA
GIRL FREED OF MURDER CHARGE
ACCEPTS OPERATIC OFFER
Her Attorney Says She Has a Good
Voice and Fine Presence and
Has Received Many
Propositions.

NEW YORK April 8.-FIorence Burns
mas accepted an offer of 81 900 a week to
appear upon the operate stage. The con-
tract is not signed yet, and will not be
uhIlI after the cOrOner's inquest. If she

After member Of the family had said
positively that the offer had been made
and practically accepted, her counsel,
roster l.. Backus, was asked about it.
l don't know what She will do he
said, " after she is absolutely free, but
consent while this thing hangs over her
and there is any possibility Of rearrest
and trial That she has received the offer
OF $l,OO0 week L know. In fact she has
received many other good offers, but this
was the highest bid. I am not at liberty
to state what firm or Operatic manager
made the offer, and as she is not in daily
communication with me now / cannot tell
you positively what she has determined
to do. Afater all this trouble is over, and
it will be very speedily, even if the
coroner should hold her, I can see no
reason why she should not become a pro-
fessiOnal singer. She has a magnificent
voice and a fine presence"

BRYAN CREDITORS LOSE
JUSTICE OTIS VACATES BENZ &
SONS ATTACHMENT.

Judge Otis has filed an order in the
case Of George Benz & Sons VS.. Fred
Bryan, in which he, grants the motion
of the defendant to vacate the attach
ment of the plaintiff.
The case has been pending for some
time. Immediately after Bryan was ar
rested for manslaughter an attachment
was served by the Benz company on all
of the fixtures and stock in the saloon
at 444 ST. Peter street and also on the
furniture of the Capitol hotel operated
by Mrs. Bryan in the rooms above the
saloon.
They were forced to surrender all
claims to the fixtures, as they proved to
be the property of the Hamm Brewing
company, and later they found that they
could not hold the household goods of
Mrs Bryan. They continued to hold,
however, the stock of liquors in the sa-
loon, which was valued at about ST. 500.
The claim they had against Bryan was
SPIT for liquor bill
The affidavit of the plaintiff set forth
that the defendant was about to dispose
of his property to defraud his creditors,
buWwhen the case came up before Judge
Otis yesterday the firm was unable to pre-
duce proof.
1t is the supposition that the Benz com
pany brought the case hoping to get a
chance at the goods before they were
turned over as attorneys fees
1t was known that Bryan's only assets
consist Of the stock of liquors, which is
all he has to pay his attorney with in
his coming trial for manslaughter.

MUST LOWER GRADE
COUNTY WINS IT'S SUIT AGAINST
500 ROAD IN BRIDGE
CASE
PRECEDENT rs IMPORTANT
Success Comes After Several Fruit
less Attempts TO Secure Lower
Grade at Rice Street
Crossing.

In the mandamus suit of the Ramsey
county commissioners against the 500
railway, before Judge Kelly yesterday,
the court decided in favor of the plant
ifs. The case is one wherein the county
sought to compel the railway to build an
undergrade crossing on Rice street. near
Vadnais park, and the court has had the
matter under Amusement since January,
when arguments were presented.
1t is believed to be the first case Of
this nature in the state, where a county
has succeeded in compelling a railway to
build this kind of a crossing. The pres
ent bridge at the crossing has been an
eye-sore to the county commissioners
for the past five or six years, and sew
eral times they sought to compel the
railway company to build a new bridge,
but each time failed.
Former County Attorneys Anderson and
BigeloW were both asked by the COM
missioners to bring suit against the 500
road and compel the building of the cross
ing, but both were of the opinion that 1t
was a helpless task.
County Attorney Kane and Assistant
County Attorney O'Neill took hold Of the
case confident that it could be carried
through and the latter has devoted much
of his time for the past several months
to the fighting Of the case.
The order of the court cities that the
railway company shall construct an iron
bridge and lower the grade of the wagon
road to pass beneath. the grade to be
lowered on the entire right of way of the
company, which extends several hun
bred feet each way from the crossing.
The decision means an outlay on the
part of the railway company Of at least
$4,000. The county will also be put to
an expense of $1,000, but this will be for
the grading of the road several hundred
feet in front Of the crossing, SO that it
will really be an improvement instead of
an expenditure for the crossing.

A FIGHT ON
When You Tell People to Quit coGee.

When You Tell People to Quit Coffee.
"At least seventy-fve people among
my acquaintance have been helped or
cured by leaving off coffee and using
Postum Food Coffee in it's place. writes
a little woman from Independence, Iowa.
Il will mention one case Miss Cora -.
I learned she was suffering from ner-
Vousness and constipation and went to
call on her. Found her in bed, and She
looked like living skeleton, so wild ana
haggard that I feared for her reason
Il asked Cora if she was improving
any. She said not, but was gradually
growing worse. The doctor was coming
twice day and giving her a powerful
nervine. \ She said, 4 am So miserable
that 1 tell you privately if I don't get
better soon [ will end it all myself some
oay% | told her not TO talk that way,
for L believed it was something she ate
or drank that caused the trouble and she
might get we'll by making a change in her
dlet. l told her my own experience in
leaving off coffee when I was in almost
as bad a shape as she, but as soon as I
mentioned coffee I had a fight on nv
hands, for she insisted that coffee helped
her, and her mother backed her in it,
saying that it was the only thing she
did enjoy and she did not believe coffee
hurt anyone
Il talked with them a long time and
finally got Cora to agree to let me make
cup of Postum Food Coffee for her
supper. She was surprised that it was so
good Said she had heard it was terrible
wishy-washy stuff l told her it was
because they did not follow directions in
boiling it enough. She promised to use
it faithfully for two Or three weeks and
If she was not better 1 would admit that
I was wrong.
81 went to see her again in about ten
days and Cora met me at the door with
smile and said, Ada, your doctor Pos
tum is the best doctor of them all. I
can sleep all night, can eat heartily, and
am growing stronger every day. Ma and
all the rest of US use Postum now in
place of coffe>'
'The facts are the girl was being actu-
ally poisoned to death by coffee. Cora
has since married and has a happy home
and you may depend upon it no coffee is
allowed to enter there" Name given bv

PRIZES FOR BUTTER
DAIRY DEPARTMENT Announces
RESULT OF MARCH
CONTEST
INCREASE IN UNIFORMITY
Cold Weather Resulted in Lowering
General Average, but Depart
ment Is Highly Gratified
at Showing Made.

Scoring in the states monthly butter
contest for March was completed yester-
day by the dairy and food department.
II. t. Sondergaard, of Litchfield, cap
lures first place with score of 9534 L.
j. Grellong, of New PaynesvilIe, is second
with score of $50 and w. Lund, of
Forest City, is third, with a score of
95A.
The butter in the March contest. did not
average quite as high as did that in the
February contest, which is explained by
the fact of the recent unusually cold and
damp weather which has been unfavor-
able to the best creamery results. How
ever the average was as high as in any
OF the previous months except February
and the contest was exceptionally sue
cessful in every respect, the uniformity
OF the butter being especially gratifying
to the department. Ninety-six tubs of
butter were submitted for the contest,
and it averaged up very well, there be-
ing but a few points Of difference be-
tween the exhibitors
Commissioner Mcconnell saws: 1--WE
are gratfied to see the gradual improve
ment from month to month of the uni

contests are proving of inestimable value

movement, looking to the general i'm
provement Of the dairy product of the
state, is most encourag ing, and promises
great good for the state. The restoring
OF the five-pound jars five weeks after
the first scoring leads US to believe that
Minnesota butter will meet the expecta-
lions of its most sanguine friends. From

WORK MANY HOURS
LABOR COMMISSIONERS FIGURES
ON LENGTH OF DAY IN SEW
a.. ERAL VOCATIONS
ONLY A FEW WORK TEN HOURS
Twenty-seven Fer Cent of Drug
Clerks Work Over II Hours-Lig-
cry Employees Work as High
as I2G Hours a Week.

III its recent statistical Investigations
the state labor bureau has made an espe-
cial effort to secure facts concerning the
length of working time on week days
and on Sundays of drug store employees,
attendants Of electric light, heating ami
power generating plants, and of men en-
plOyed in livery, boarding and sales sta
bIes
Commissioner O'DonneH says: "Our in
vestigauOns have shown very unsatis-
factory conditions under which these
wage earners work. Of the total number
Of drug clerks from whom we have Sc
cured information only 1856 per cent work
less than ten hours on week days; 13 40
per cent work ten hours; 1903 per cent
work eleven hours; 24.57 per cent work
twelve hours; 6.57 per cent work thfr-
teen hours; IS Is per cent work fourteen
hours; SIG per cent sixteen hours, and
2.OS per cent work seventeen hours. But
aside from this a considerable amount
Of Sunday work is required from prescrip-
ton clerks.
1--WE have been able to show that of
$50 persons only Il enjoy freedom from
labor on Sunday; 16l have to be in at
tendance each Sunday, and 81 each alter
nate Sunday. While the work Of the
drug clerks does not require great physi-
cal eNertiOn, the hours Of attendance are
IN Sundays. The general public should
give this matter more than a passing
consideration, for person worn out by
long and continuous hours Of service is
more apt to make mistakes and put up
The wrong prescription than one who has
sufficient time 10 rest and some for recre-
alton.
Sunday Not Day of Rest.
I'm electric light, heating and power
generating plants we find only III per
cent Of the total number Of employees
working less than ten hours daily; but
the largest number, 1.68 per cent, work
twelve hours daily, and in some in
stances thirteen, fourteen, fifteen and
sixteen hours daily go to make up the
work of the meE so employed. Sunday
work is performed by 1851 per cent of
all employees in this kind of work, the
time ranging all the way from three to
fifteen hours, but the greatest number
9S5 out Of 5S7, have to perform twelve
hours work every Sunday.
The length of the working day in liv-
cry, boarding and sales stables has been
another subject of special investigation
by the department, which has established
the fact that in this particular vocation
some persons have to devote eighteen
hours cut of every twenty-fOur to work,
or at least must be in attendance that
length Of time. Only about rs per cent
of all the wage earners in this line Of
work have a regular ten-hOur work day
The greatest number have to work from
eighty-fOur to eighty-nine hours weekly,
and III some instances we have found men
who work 126 hours every week"

CIVIL CODE FOR ISLANDS
GOVERNMENT BILL IS PERFECTED
BY THE HOUSE COMMITTEE
Measure as Proposed Provides for
Two Legislative branches, to Be
known as the Philippine
Commission and Assembly

WASHINGTON, D. c., April S.-The
house bill establishing civil government in
the philippines was finally perfected today
by the Republican members of the fnsuIar
c0mFnlttee, and in its complete form was
reintroduced by Chairman Cooper. There
IS little doubt that it will be reported to
the house by the full committee, probably
tomorrow, and in the form Mr. Cooper
introduced it today. -
The house bill is unlike that of the SEN
ate in that 1t provides complete form
of civil government for the islands, to
go into effect when the war terminates,
the provision being as follows:
whenever the existing Instruction in
the Philippines shall have ceased and a
condition Of general and complete peace
snail have been established therein, and
the facts shall be certified to the president
OF the commission, the president shall au-
thorlze the commission to call a general
election for the choice of delegates to a
popular assembly Of the people Of the
philippine islands to be known as the
Philippine assembly,
Have Two Legislative Houses.
It is further provided that all the leg
islative power shall then be vested in two
hOuses-the Philippine commission and the
Philippine assembly. Provision IS made
for taking the census within thirty DAYS
after the PRONUNCIATION of peace. There
after the islands are to be divided into
election districts and the regular ma
chinery for electing the legislature is pro-
vided.
Section y of the bill provides that all
residents Of the Philippines shall have the
same protection from the United States
in their relations to foreign governments
as is accorded to citizens of the United
States.
Provide for Friar Lands
For the purpose of the friar lands the
bill makes provision for the issuance Of
insular bonds at 5 per cent interest pay
able in gold, the total amount not being
specified.
The regulation of franchises, timber
lands, mineral lands, etc, is provided for.
The system Of coinage differs from that
in the senate bill, as it makes gold the
standard, with Philippine token money Of
silver maintained at a parity with gold.
The peso is to be of silver. 1t will equal
our silver dollar in size and be worth half
as much.

DREAM MEADOWS.

Grit with great garths of shadow
Dim meadows fade in gray;
No moon lightens the cleaning,
The meadows know no day;
But pale shapes shifting
From dusk to dusk or lifting
Frail wings in flight, go drifting
Adown each foWerless way.
These phantom dreams in shadow
Were once of wild rose fame;
Each wore a star of glory,
Each had a loved sweet name;
Now they are nameless, knowing
Nor star nor flame, but going
Whittier they know not, flowing
Waves without wind or aim.
But later through the cleaning
The midnight shepherd cries;
The trOCping shadows follow,
Making a wind Of signs;
The fold is hollow and black,
No pathway thence, no track;
No dream ever comes back
Beneath those silent skies.
