The lightning in the Post Ofics
Department investigation is beginning
to strike about In places close to the
throne. Beavers, who has given
himself up voluntarily after the police
seemed to be unable to get him, has
had Postmaster General Payne sub
poenaed to appear as a witness in his
case, and the P. N. G. promptly re-
pudiates the subpoena and refuses to
appear. He says he is sick, and must
psrforce spend a few weeks down at
Virginia Eot Springs to recuperate
his health. He probably knows too
much of the doings Of his private
secretary, Mr.. H. H. Rand, in con-
nection with Beavers and Aachen's
industry in the grating game in the
Post Office Department, and does not
desire to be questioned under oath.
In fact, he is doing all in his power
to stop the publicity Of details Of the
Pest Office Department scandal, and
now he gives It out that the end is in
sight and that there will be nothing
more doing after the first Of October.
He knows full we'll that there are too
many members Of Congress and re-
publican leaders mixed up ia the

STABBED A DEPUTY
Infatuated Phelps Islanders Attack
Deputy Sheriff John Wall With
Poisoned Daggers.
He Escapes With Flesh Wounds and
Will Recover-No Arrests
Made.

While assisting in ejectment- proceed
ings at Phelps Island, Lake Minnetonka,
Deputy Sheriff John Wall was attacked
by a large band of infuriated islanders
and repeatedly stabbed. He escaped be-
fore he had received anything more seri-
GUS than several flesh wounds, but mild
case of bloodpoisoning has followed and
it will be some time before Mr.. Wall fully
RECEIVERS. It is now definitely known that
the weapons used ON him were poisoned
and that the attack was made with the
deliberate intention on the part of his
assailants to do him all the harm In their
power. Strangely enough no arrests have
been made and the deputies militant are
free to admit that they have dropped the
case thru sheer cowardice.
Deputy Wall and his force were called
| to the island to remove from certain por-
| tons thereof all property belonging tc
| Darlington Phelps. The little band sci
about the task with vigor Among Other
| things on the land to be cleared was. ar
ancient vehicle, which, however, was
capable Of carrying a considerable load
| ity Of danger, Wall Sprang between the
shafts and started to pull the old vehi
| Gle down slope. It ratified heavily ovel
| the gravel as tho there might be some
thing concealed in its bed; but Wal
cared nothing; the thing was to get of
| the forbidden land.
On went Wall thinking less and less o
| danger with each step. @
| Suddenly there came a blow from be
hind. Wall was staggered He had beef
| ambushed. A second and third blov
fell in quick succession. Wall, terro
stricken, dropped the shafts and f1e,
! striking backward blows at his assailant
which were now literally swarming upol
him from the rear. His assailants, see
ing their inability to aid him agains
such odds armed with poisoned darts
/ had also taken to their heels.
The infuriated islanders were 'blmble
bees. They had built their nest unde
the seat Of the old buggy which had no
j been disturbed for many moons. Whe,
i Deputy Wall and his aides set about re

tremely active and with an attack worth

HOPES TO GET LAND FREE
Park Board Delays Action With
Regard to Lake Amelia
Boulevard.

Lake Amelia will not be circled by a
parkway at once. The park board after
considering the offers of several owners
Of lake frontage, to deed to the city sew
eral thousand feet of shore line, adopted
a resolution to accept the land in case the
right Of way around the whole lake should
be rendered. This rather implies that
the board expects to secure the whole
shore line free of expense and without
effort.
Judge A. H. Young presented claim
of $1,OS5.50 for park taxes paid in 1893
under protest and afterward declared by
the courts to have been Illegally collected.
The matter grew out of a contract be-
tween the park board and w. S. King
regarding exemption from taxation on GER
tain lands adjoining Lyndale park. The
claim is now held by Henry F. Brown In
the absence of the attorney for the park
board, the matter was laid over until the
next meeting. 'n-
privileges at Minnehaha park, submitted
plans for a waiting room at the main
entrance to the park He purposes to
erect a sort Of a pavilion 34x100 feet. The
matter was referred to the committee
on privileges.
A communication from George H. Dag
gett Offering to the city the triangular
plot of ground at the foot of Lowry Hill
was referred to the committee on designa-
| ton of grounds.
| It was ordered that woven wire fence
be built around the old Stevens house at
Minnehaha, with gate and lock that the
building may be protected from vandal-
ism 1t was also ordered that sign be
put up informing sight -seers that this
was the first house built in Minneapolis
and was the home of John H. Stevens.

GOOD MILK CAMPAIGN
Health Department VIII Not Be Hampered
by Recent Decision Of
JUDGE Holt.

Judge Hollis decision that drivers Of
milk wagons cannot be held responsible
for the misdeeds of their employers will
not handicap the health department in its
campaign against poor milk. It does not
affect the retail vendors In the least, for
when these are caught selling milk below
the standard the warrant is always OBJ
tained against the owner of the dairy.
In the case in which the above decision
was reached and the driver was released.
the milk was collected from several whole
salers and taken to creameries The man
who delivered the milk did not sell 1t, be-
Ing paid certain sum only for delivering
It, Health Commissioner Hall says that
the creameries will be held responsible.
and 1t will be for them to require the dali
ries to supply milk that is up to grade.
The creamery men may not, Of course, be
able to prosecute the dairymen who de-
liver poor milk, but they can refuse to do
business with them, which will be much
more effective.
Not long ago. one dairyman was I'M
Justly punished. He insisted that he
never SKINNED his milk nor watered it,
and that his cattle had the best quality OF
food but very little attention was paid to
his expostulations until 1t was afterward
discovered that his daughter, who drove
the wagon, skinned the milk after she
left the house and sold the cream in order
to obtain pin money.

YIELDED POINT TO DENVER
Minneapolis Almost Won Race for
the 1905 Epworth League
Convention.

Special advices from the Epworth
League convention at Detroit, Mich, to
T h e Journ a show that the race for
the 1905 convention was close, Minneap-
oils almost winning, but yielding grace
fully to certain special claims on the part
Of Denver. The committee met Saturday
evening and sat nearly all night discussing
invitations At the sessions close the vote
stood three to three between Denver and
Minneapolis. But Denver urged the prom
ise of previous committee that the
mountain city should have the next con-
vention in Methodist Episcopal territory,
also the fact that the choice Of Denver
would bring the convention near a large
Methodist population which has never been
able to attend at a cost of less than $50
whereas Minneapolis had twice been
within a SIS distance. Recognizing the
force of these arguments Minneapolis
withdrew from the race.
The Minnesota contingent, numbering
425, scattered yesterday, some going to
Niagara and others visiting friends and
points Of interest about Detroit.

THE LAW TOO SLOW
Bishop Keane Says the Wyoming
Lynchers Simply Want to Ad-
minister Justice.
Says People Are Law Abiding Tho
Legal Executions Have
Been Few.

They wanted to see Justice done,'' was
the explanation given to-day by Bishop
j. j. Keane OF Wyoming, formerly pas
tor Of the Church of the Immaculate Con-
ception Of this city, when questioned as
to the shooting Of Walters and German,
alleged murderers, by a mob that attacked
the Jail at Basin, Wyo., Sunday morning.
I've no doubt that the men who We're
shot richly deserved their fate said the
bishop, "and the people didn't want to
see the execution deferred. That's the
situation In nutshell-there hasn't been
a legal execution in Wyoming for at least
a dozen years. The judges, I'm afraid,
are too easily influenced. There's too
much politics in the administration of JUS
tice. But the people are law-abiding.
They want to see justice done. They'll
do it themselves If it can't be done by
the authorities.
"Outside of some Austrians and Italians
In the mines and some Japanese on the
railroads. the population OF Wyoming is
composed almost entirely of American and
English. There are probably more Eng
lishmen there than in any other state
proportionately. And these Americans
and Englishmen in the towns and on the
ranches are people that want good order
that are vigorously opposed to crime.
why, a ranchman often goes away
from home for weeks together, and leaves
all his doors unlocked. Any stranger is
welcome to go In and get food and lodg-
ing. But If he carries away anything
else than food or what clothing he may
need, the neighbors will follow him as
far as New Mexico to teach him lessor

a respectable man and his wife. Thi:

WAR AGAINST DISEASE
State Health Department Report
Shows That It Is Being
Waged Successfully.

Infectious diseases among animals have
been greatly lessened in Minnesota by
rigid quarantine methods, according to the
biennial report of the state board of
health, soon to be issued. Only twelve
cases of hog cholera were reported up to
April 81 of this year. In 1902 there were
80 cases. There were forty in 1901 and
81 in 1900 The experience Of the last
three years proves that the disease is not
''air- born but is transmitted like typhoid
fever, by infected animals and infected
water. It may be carried about by dogs
and birds.
Chambers among horses has decreased
every year. Three cases of CHAMBERS in
human beings have been found in Mime
sofa. A young man in the northern part
of the state took 1t from his horses, and
broke out as with smallpox His brother
either took it from him or the horses.
Both died in a short time. A young lady
in the laboratory Of the health depart
ment contracted the disease from parti-
cles sent for analysis, and after year S
illness gives promise of complete re-
covery.
Under the law requiring tuberculosis test
of cattle the board has paid out $8,596.85,
being one-third Of the appraised value Of
cows killed. Up to April 81 Of this year
1880 animals were tested, and 1913 were
killed.

NEEDS At STATE FAIR
Minneapolis Merchants Favor Head.
quarters Building and Macadam
Road From City.

That the time is ripe for the building
Of a headquarters building for Mime
apolis merchants, on the state fair
grounds, and that transportation facili-
tives Of the state fair and the Minneapolis
of macadam road from the state uni
versity to the fair grounds, were two
propositions agreed upon by representa-
ties Of the state fair and the Minneapolis
Retail Dealers association at the Com
mercial club yesterday afternoon.
Among the prominent business men at
the conference were John w. Thomas, w
A. Yerxa, Thomas Voegeli D. D. Dayton
w. L. Harris, F.. D. Young, G. 6. .Hyser
c. N Chadbourn and c. F. Gordon. The
MANAGEMENT Of the state fair was rep
resented by Secretary E. w. Randall
Dean w. K. Liggett Of the state agricul-
tural college, and J. M. Underwood OF
! Lake City.
The conference readily agreed that the
building on the state fair grounds would
be to the great advantage both of the
state fair and the business men. Mr.
Harris, president Of the Business Mems
association, was particularly enthusiastic
in advocating the building. He cited the
case Of the New England Furniture an6
Carpet company, which had invested
nearly $4,000 in a building at the state
| fair and had In one year secured thr,
this building a very valuable mailing lis
Of 10000 names. Belief was expressed
that such a building would be in place
one year hence.
! The statement was made that the stree
railway company would have its service
greatly improved this fall, but Mr.. Ran
| dali suggested that it would pay Mime
apo1is to have a good road built between
the city pavements and the state fai
grounds. Mr.. Randall thinks many Min
neapolis people stay away from the stat
| fair rather than take chances on the pres
| ent dirt roads or on the street cars.

Sad Condition Which Could Have
Been Prevented.

Constantly recurring cases of death from
consumption, typhoid fever and infectious
diseases of all kinds, leaves an unremitting
trail Of bereavement and grief. While
man must die there is no need of has
tening the end and in a majority of cases
the simplest precautions would suffice to
prolong life to a ripe and productive old
age.
Neglect of dyspepsia is more prolific Of
death than all other diseases combined,
not only because it is often fatal itself but
because it renders the system susceptible
to all other diseases.
There is one remedy for dyspepsia which
can be depended upon with the same GER
tafnty as the pointing Of the needle to the
pole-Chase's Dyspepsia Cure. This in
comparable remedy was not discovered"
1t was purposely formulated through years
of patient study and experiment. It was
intended for one purpose only, curing
stomach troubles-and 1t cures.
Indigestion, heartburn, sick headaches,
costiveness, sour stomach, belching OF
wind, lack of appetite and other stomach
ailments are Immediately relieved and
quickly cured. Chronic cases of the most
| obstinate kind will rapidly yield to this
treatment. Mr. F. H. Anthony Of Provid-
ence has just reported on specially OBJ
