TWO men ARE CUT IN
ROW ON UPPER LEVEE
One of TT em5Accuses D. Var
neIIi of SIashing Him With
"a Razor.

Louis Reeke, SIS Upper Levee, was
siashed in horrible manner about the
body with razor yesterday afternoon
In a row on the flats near the high
bridge. Tony eDiazo, who said he re-
sided at AT James street, was also bad
ly cut.
Reeke received a cash about sfx
inches long and two deep down his
back near the spine and another cut
several inches long on his right side,
the blade of the razor striking his ribs
and preventing more serious injury.
A number of other cuts one and two
inches in length were scattered about
his body. He was clad in a shirt which
was ripped and slashed by his assail-
ants knife, and he was covered with
blood from head to. foot. He was taken
to the central station and his wounds
sewed UP by Dr. Myerding, after which
he went home.
The police were notified of the fight
and sent the patrol wagon with a de-
tail of officers to the upper levee. Reeke
was found in an exhausted state from
the loss of blood, which was flowing
profusely from his wounds. Reeke ac-
cussed D. Varnelli of having been his
assailant. According to Reckless YER
sion, the trouble started over a ball
game and words led to the cutting
match. The police sought VarnelI but
he had disappeared when they arrived.
Tony DiaZO came to the city hospital
last evening from the upper levee with
stab two inches long and two inches
deep in his right hip. His wounds
were sewed up by the hospital physi-
clans.

tutions to Hold Quarterly
Conference.

One of the regular quarterly confer
ences of the state board of control with
the superintendent of state institutions
will be held today at the state capitol.
AS the board has just removed it's
offices to the capitol and it was feared
that it's new quarters would still be
in an unsettled condition, arrange
ments were made to hold the confer
ence in the supreme court room. It is
now believed that 1t can take place in
the rooms of the board.
A programme of special interest has
been arranged for this meeting, the
principal features of which will be two
papers on topics Of general interest to
the superintendent of institutions and
the members of the board
Supt. Rogers, of the school for feeble
minded at Faribault, will read the first
paper, the subject being, 1.-The Rela-
ton of Society and the State to the
Institution-How Best Subserved ?"
The general discussion following will
be led by Supt. F. L. Randall, Of the
st. Cloud reformatory.
The subject Of the second paper, to
be contributed by Supt. Tate, of the
school for the deaf at Faribault, will be,
Constituent Economics in institution
al nagement-What Are They 2"
Warden Wolfer,' of the state prison,
will lead the general discussion of this
topic
While the superintendent are assem-
bled the samples of supplies in the
hands of the board will be carefully in
speeted and the schedules for the en-
suing quarter will be made UP.

MRS. SOREN KERR
BADLY BURNED AND
MAY DIE OF INJURY
Her Child Finds Her in the
Kitchen EnveIoped in Flames
-.-Neighbors and Physicians
Rush to Her Rescue---Casu-
atty Is Unaccountable.

u Mrs. Soren Kerr, 363 East Magnolia
street, is lying at her home in crit
ieaI condition as a result Of burns
about her head and face and the upper
Part of her body, received last Friday
morning.
The manner in which she caught fire
is a complete mystery. She was FOUND
in the kitchen by one of her children,
enveIoped in flames, and she could
make no attempt to extinguish them.
The child, in terror, ran from the house
calling loudly for help. The woman
living next door came to the assist
ance of the burning woman at the
summons of the child. and only the
prornptest measures saved Mrs. Kerr's
life at that time.
In a hurry the child called about a
dozen of the neighbors, and three ply
sicians were summoned. DR.. A. w.
Whitney was the first to arrive, and
he found the woman In a grave con-
dition.
The face and head were black and
the upper part of her body, including
her arms, was burned.
None of the family can account for
the peculiar manner in which she had
been covered with the flames. The
fire was caused by gasoline, but how
it was so completely spread over her
head and shoulders could not be eX-
/ planned Mrs. Kerr is forty-ive years
old, and has been i'll recently.
She is in such a serious condition
from the bad burns she received and
from the flames she inhaled that DR..
whitney is not certain of her recovery.

CASE OF BOY HURT AT
BATHS rs A PUZZLER
John Fisher, Thought to Have Broken
Neck Is Taken to Sioux City.

John Fisher the fourteen ear-old
boy who has been at the city hospital
since July s, suffering from complete
paralysis as result of an accident
at the public baths, was removed from
the hospital last evening and taken
on the train to his home at Sioux City,
Iowa, from which he had come, the day
before he was hurt, to st. Paul to
visit his uncle. H. II. Pollard, 29
Thompson avenue.
The boy was completely paralyzed
from striking his head against board
submerged in the water. 1t is thought
that his neck was broken, and his case
is regarded as most peculiar by the
physicians at the hospital for during
the entire time he remained at the in
stitution his condition was exactly the
same.
His mother came to st. Paul shortly
after the accident and as he showed
no signs of improvement 1t was de-
cfded to take him to his home.

Budweiser for Purity and Nourish
noent,

mSnLs
The Budweiser advertisement which
appears in another portion of this pa
per draws an interesting comparison
between water and beer in these
words:
pure water is better than poor beer.
Pure beer is more wholesome than pure
water because of the nourishing quail
ties of malt and the tonic properties of
hops"
This is obviously true despite the
contentious of cold water enthusiasts,
and explains why so many physicians
prescribe Budweiser for anem1c pa
tients, not only because of it's refresh
ing and invigorating effects, but as
delicate and effectual means OF admin
istering nourishment.
The extreme care used in selection
of materials as well as in supervising
the actual brewing of Budweiser in
sures perfect flavor and absolute
healthfulness of the product.
1t is breWed from malt made under
the direct supervision of the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing association; the finest
hops obtainable and thoroughly filtered
soft river water complete the ingred-
tents.
1t is important in this consideration
to note that river water is ideal for
the production of good beers for the
reason that it contains none of the
hurtful and unpleasant mineral salts
so commonly found in spring and we'll
waters.
Budweiser is king of bottled beers"
for table consumption as well as med
zeal use, and it is truthfully called the
essence of purity"
