HELD UP THE PRES'T
Doorkeeper Bars Prest. Marshall
From the Chamber of
Commerce Floor.
E. J. Phelps and F. W. Commons
Also Had to Secure Cards Ac-
cording to Orders.

Probably the most surprised man in
Minneapolis this morning was E. j.
Phelps, capitalist, mover in public
Improvement affairs and a member of
the Minneapolis chamber Of COM
merce. Coming on change, he was
held up eat, the door and made to
Identify himself before he was admit
ted to the floor. James Marshall,
president of the chamber and. Frank
w. Commons, vice president, were
held up later and sent back to the
secretary's office for Identification
cards before they could gain access.
This hold-up Of prominent men,
bers was the cause of considerable
merrtment on change and was the
result Of the order issued some days
ago to the effect that all members
must have admission cards and must
show them when called upon.
In the geometric mind Of Mac"
the veteran and argus-eyed door
keeper, all members are but parts of
the whole, and any member is equal
to another member. President or
private, it is all alike to him, and
nothing goes with Mac but orders.
SO when Mr.. Phelps turned up this
morning, having ,thoughtlessly neg
lected to provide himself. with card,
he was asked to identify himself. Just
as tho he had not been coming on
change for twenty years and Mac
had not been there for a good part
Of the time. <
AS for President Marshall, he took
his medicine like man, for if there
IS a man on change who believes in
doing things right and according to
rule, it is he.

EVIL. WOMAN SENTENCED
Martha Olson Gets Sixty Days
Said to Have Misled
~-s sE Young Girls.

Martha Olson, a woman of the town
who has given the police and relief
societies much trouble thru her friend
ly relations with young girls, was in
police court to-day charged with va
grancy. She pleaded not guilty, but
the officers were ready with such evil
dencek that Judge Holt sentenced her
to sixty days in the workhouse.
= The Olson, woman's name was fire.
quently mentioned in connection with
the case of Emily Sandahl, the South
Minneapolis girl arrested a few days
ago in. a Washington avenue hotel,
where she said she was staying as a
member of an opera company about to
start on a. tour. The Sandahl girl told
the police that she had been led away
from home by the Olson woman and
that when she wanted to return, she
had been persuaded by her to remain
away. The Olson, woman has been
connected with the downfall Of other
girls. ri
Since the s;andahl girl was sent to
the training school, the police have
been awaiting a chance to pick up the
Olson woman, and last night she was
found on the street. AS no other
charge could be brought against her,
she was charged with vagrancy. She
considers. her arrest persecution and
maintains that she has had nothing
whatever to do with leading young
girls away. Il -.... !;

men. driving live stock and bearing
what they could of their, household
effects. Mrs. Farnsworth hastily filled
two .pillowslips with provisions and
turning the few cattle loose, joined the
stream Of refugees with her three chill
dren. They had to ride with others
and before they had gone ten miles it
became apparent that if all stayed on
the wagon none could go farther.
without hesitation Mrs. Farnsworth
took her children and hiding them in
the tall grass told them to lie still
While she went back for Old Spot,
their cow. A settler let the mother
take horse which he assured her no
woman had ever ridden but, muffling
its feet, Mrs. Farnsworth actually
made here way back to Elysian. She
heard the Indians shooting and passed
dead bodies on the way but came back
with the COW to her children in the
early evening. For the next three
weeks the little family party lived in
the woods, eating roots, berries and
plums, drinking milk and smuggling UP

SPOILED CHILDREN

child, and my parents used to let me
drink coffee because I would cry for
it." says Georgia young woman:
when I entered school my nervous
ness increased and my parents thought
it was due to my going to school, so
they took me out again. But I did
not get any better and my headaches
got worse and weakened me SO that
I was unfit for any duty. Sometimes
I would go a whole day without any
other nourishment than a cup of cof-
fee. + ~.
Last spring had bad attack Of
the Grippe, and when I recovered I
found that coffee nauseated me, so
could not drink it, and even a few
swallows would cause q terrible burn
ing In my stomach. 1t was at this
time that a friend who had been much
benefited by the use of Postum suggest
ed that I try this food drink. I found
it simply delicious and have used it
ever since and the results speak for
themselves. I have gained ~ pounds
and my nerves arenas steady as any
ones.
IT consider myself we'll and strong
and T make it g. point now to take a
cup of Postum with cracker or two
as soon as I come home from school
in the afternoon. Postum with crack
ers or a biscuit makes my luncheon.
1t certainly saved my life, for know
coffee would have killed me in time
had continued drinking it.
II have young girl friend, stem

It would be impossible to describe
even the varieties of rugs in the col

CITY NEWS.
YES, ASHES Do BURN
Men Who Have Tried Plan Don't
Back Down for Scien-
lists.
s. H. Franklin Makes Further Ex-
planation-Other Testimony
Is Added.

Question: Is 1t nobler to believe
In science and enrich the coal trust,
or to deride the professors and save
one-third Of your fuel bill this WIN
ter?
Order, gentlemen, order; please
don't all try to speak at once-this is
not the women's federation. Yes, the
ayes have it; the professors are in dis
grace.
Charles K. Levy Of 2726 Stevens
avenue, puts the motion declaring en-
tire confidence in the recent discov-
cry announced by S. H. Franklin Of
5000 Aldrich avenue S, that, by put
ting a layer Of wet ashes over burn
ing coal in a domestic furnace the
married man may save one-third Of
his anthracite coal and may burn up
all the ashes.
Mr.. Franklin Is not influenced by
the published statement Of a prom
inent professor that householders
can't possibly burn ashes with or
without water, and that putting ashes
instead Of less. For Mr.. Levy, a sue
cessful business man, has tried the
Franklin plan, he says, and has found
1t IAN unqualified success" There
wasn't a piece of coal left he insists
as large as a pea. There wasn't
with the following night. The new
plan Of firing furnaces will save mill
lions of dollars, he believes, to fuel
consumers in Minneapolis alone. And
there is a box Of fine cigars, adds
Mr.. Levy, that will be delivered, with
my compliments, to Mr.. Franklin
whenever he chooses to call at 221
Second avenue S.
Mr.. Franklin Explains.
Mr.. Franklin explains his method
more precisely as follows:
MY heater is a hot water plant. I
renew my fire twice day, both night
and morning, just as If I were using
nothing but coal, except that I put
on less coal and give it all the draft
ready for the ashes. I keep a galvan-
lied pan, two feet square by eight
inches deep, on the floor near the
heater, and into this pan I put what
ever ashes may be left from the
burning of the fresh coal that I have
thrown in beneath the coating Of wet
ashes. It's only the wet ashes that
are burned up, not the ashes from
the fresh coal.
II pour enough water on the ashes
in preparing them to saturate them
thoroly; 1t isn't necessary to make
been published. The layer of ashes
may be from two to eight inches
thick-it doesn't matter. AS soon as
the fire of fresh coal is burning we'll
I throw on the wet ashes. Then
open all the checks and close the
lower draft. When the weather's ex-
tremely cold it may be necessary to
open the draft a little.
THE wet ashes disappear and they
don't go up the chimney, for all the
drafts are closed. If the ashes don't
burn, Mr.. Chemist, what becomes of
them?"

ton of Labor yesterday afternoon, M.
&. Neary of Minneapolis was named
as delegate from Minnesota to the

A FORTUNE IN RUGS
Mammoth Exhibit of Rich Oriental
,'-.. -. Rugs at Powers,

DO you expect to sell that ?" ~ ..r
The question was overheard at
Powers this morning soon after the
great exhibition Of oriental rugs. a col
lection valued at $4,000 and COM
prising over 1000 rugs of all descrip-
lions, was thrown open to the public.
/. certainly, madam" was the reply
or n. L. Huber, representative of A.
d.: FRANCISCAN, the noted collector of
oriental rugs; 1T isn't. really expen-
siye; "A person of moderate means
might well afford to buy such a RUG
merely as an investment, if for no 9TH
er purpose, -. ..,.<s ~ -. -.
the particular rug in question was
a skermanshah of carpet size, and a
kermanshah is the highest type of
Persian rug. It costs $4,000 and is
one Of the handsomest rugs in the
e&nib1t, which is by far the finest col
lection of oriental rugs that has ever
been shown west of Chicago.
1T Is a mistake to suppose that
only people of large means can afford
oriental rugs" said Mr.. Huber. "They
never wear out, and in ten years they
Will nave paid for, themselves MANY
times over, and will be far more beau
tlful than they were when they were
bought. Besides, not all fine rugs are
as expensive as that Kermanshah. It's
unusually large even for a carpet rug.
ana II marvellous work of art. No
tice how the hues change as the lights
shift. One would never tire Of such q
piece of furnishing. You have tenn
pered old blues, and greens softened
by time in some lights, and in others
rose-reds and the peculiar madders of
the orient predominate-but whatever
the rue is old ivory comes in to har-
monte the tones. That's a dtstin-
gushing characteristic Of the Herman
shah. A rug like that will save half
it's cost in the other furnishings that
you can leave out.
Then Mr.. Huber turned to the silk
rugs, of which there is an immense as
sortment both in Persian and Turkish
varieties
Persian silks are the finest things
that there are to be had in rugs. The
Persian are better than the Turkish
because they are antiques, and an
tique doesn't mean simply that they
are old. It means that each rug has
been made for some person Of great
note or for some marked occasion.
The best of silk has gone into it, and
the finest artists have been employed
in the designing and manufacture. Now
here is a little thing!''

OF carpets and began to describe the

AN :1owAN IN PAIN
Left Note on Cafe Menu Showing That
g. 1855 He Had Lost.

- He Had Lost.
While most Of the Iowa City gentlemen
who thought that the Iowa football team
would not be badly beaten Saturday, and
thought so with hard earned cash, went
away with their experience and the repu-
tation of being good losers, there were
others who felt the pain Of parting.
At least on the back Of a Nicollet
House cafe wine list there was written
in the sorrow Of Saturday night the fol-
lowing:
Well! Minneapolis, your Swedes certainly die
us. But come down to Iowa City on our owl
grounds. And while you are betting on the sure
thing keep little change to get back to your
holes, you Gophers; for the roads are rough and
the passes pretty crowded on these occasions.
This illustrates the popular belief that
all Minnesota football players are the
sons Of hardy Scandinavians. In the first
eleven there is Strathern, Schacht, Web
ster, Warren, Pattee, Rogers, Burdick
O'Brien, Davies, Irsfield and Currant.
