RICH MEN ARE
NOT ALL HAPPY.
CROESUs, KING OF LYDIA, HAD TROUBLES OF
HIS OWN, AND THERE ARE OTHERS

CROESUS, KING OF LYDIA, HAD TROUBLES OF
HIS OWN. AND THERE ARE OTHERS.
Croesus. the John d. Rockefeller Of the kingdom
Of Lydia, was very weil-todo in worldly goods and
chattels. "As rich Croesus'' is a saying about
$500 years old He, had his troubles, however,
and some of them wete full grown. He was taken
captive once by Cyrus and only saved himself from
being burned alive by quoting a saying Of Scion,
the sage. He finally had to fee his kingdom for
parts unknown.
Many of the rich mans troubles TODAY come
from high living and could be avoided. They are
brought on by eating all kinds Of rich, heavy foods
at irregular times, lack Of proper exercise undue
mental strain, unnatural stimulates ETC.. and are
commonly known Indigestion, dyspepsia and
weak stomach They are serious troubles all right
but not only they be avoided, but can also be
cured and that without loss of time or proper food

A WEEK OF HUSTLE
Outside Dealers Buying Heavily in
Anticipation Of Big Trade

Slight Changes Notable in Produce,
Having Reached a More
Settled Basis.

The sale for fruits and other Independence
Day merchandise has been highly satisfactory
to the local jubbing trade and sigh of relief
coupled with due amount Of satisfaction, will
come over them when the last rush order
Is out OF the way. Judging by the movement
out so far, retailers are quite well satisfied that
people IN general will spend goodly amount for
other seasonable goods than fireworks, and have
bought accordingly, aud placed their orders
early, There Is a nice array of fruit to select
from, and lemons and most lines considered
reasonable In price. The looked-for advance In
lemons has not vet developed, but largely due to
any increase In the demand for them. The sup
ply Is we'll known to be under that of average
years, and the talk that values must so higher
is not confined by any means to those who have
any great amount on hand.
Oranges will about close their season the COM
Ing week. Dealers not taking in any stock
of consequence, and all houses are shy on more
less sizes, and are having to look about con-
sfderably to secure sizes ordered.
Decfduous fruits are coming in freely, and the
range OF varieties is increasing every day. Plums
dance varieties are coming and quality Is so far
improved as to make buyers less wary of taking
hold than when the early forced fruit was offered
them. Early peaches are plentiful from Cali
fornia. while shipments from the south are be-
ginning to come steadily nough to be depended

WOOL WILL BE SHORT

DECREASE IN THE CLIP.

American Wool Reporter
It is of course too early as yet to estimate
the American clip VIII this year. From the
reports received thus far, however it 10 seyi.
dent that there will be an appreciable shortage

ries are to this effect, and 1t is known that the
yield will be somewhat reduced in a number of
the states east Of the Mississippi river nelud-
ing Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio and West tVir-
ginia, tho the decrease In the four states named
will not be as reat as some parties have claimed
| that 1t will be.
The decrease in ths clip is caused by the ex-
tfensive winter losses on the ranes and else
where due to the severe storms and by the ex-
tended slaughtering Of sheep in number Of Sec
tions. First reports are naturally exaerated,
some Of them indicating decrease in the clip. Of
course absurd While, we repeat, it is too early
as yet to state with any degree Of defniteness
what the shortage will be. 1T seems pretty safe
to say, judging from the most authoritative and
reliable information thus far received, that 1t
will be hardly likely to exceed IL per cent at the
| most. The president Of the Montana board of

1000, 200 head or about 100000 pounds. The
Utah clip may be 3,0OO.OO0 pounds short.

of losses also. In Oregon the losses are said to
be light, 1905 per cent being the estimate

sufficient allowance for this, it is evident that
the shortage, reckoned in grease pounds, will

CHURCH CORNER STONE LAID
Mrs. Vanderburgh Assists in Frank
lin Ave. Church Ceremony.
lin Ave. Church c

One Of the principal supporters of
Franklin Avenue Presbyterian church,
Mrs. Charles e. Vanderburgh, laid the
corner stone Of the new structure at
Franklin and Twenty third avenues last
evening. This part Of the ceremony COM
nemorated the missionary work which
Judge Vanderburgh did in this neighbour
hood during twenty-five years of his life
time. He was superintendent of a chapel
Sunday school in the neighborhood and
also prominent member of the First
church which has acted as sponsor for the
Franklin Avenue church.
In the corner stone were records of the
church, a Bible and other articles Of his
torical value.
Addresses were made by Rev. DR.. A. B.
Marshall, Of the First church and Rev.
DIR. John e. Bushnell. Of Westminster
church. Prayer was offered by Rev. e. r.
Peabody pastor Of Riverside chapel. In
charge of the services was Rev. w. O.
Wallace, pastor Of the Franklin Avenue
church. Special music was given by the
choir.
The former church building was par
TALLY burned about a year ago since which
time services have been held in q tent and
in the home of the pastor. Services will
continue to be held as thru the past year
until the new building. q frame struc-
ture to cost about $1,000, is completed
about Sept. /.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK

however. let us all insist that it be with
the utmost caution, that nothing be put

the highest! Skill and the most %refined
taste. The time has gone. by when such
incidents as you mention can be accept
paint brawny Indians or horses prancing
lin the meter Of battle. The incidents you
so wisely select and others which the
history of Minnesota can furnish are fit
to stimulate the imagination of the true
artist. Give these incidents such embodi-
Sment as they deserve and they will thrill
every soul with patriotic fervor. BY high
art the past is imn1ortalized and the flu
ttre taught III.

:ers who in mural decoration are unex-
5celled anywhere, Why should not Mime
sofa secure their services and make her
self proud thru their genius? Why should
not our capitol take rank in it's wall paint
;ings with the appellate court of New York,
the congressional library and the library
of Boston? In no way could money be
spent that would be of greater educational
value or bring to the state more renown.
+ Interest in art and artistic taste is
being developed among us rapidly; here
is an opportunity for an object lesson OF
the greatest value, We can afford moth
Ing less than the best. Minnesota is toe
rich and too proud and too cultured ia
accept art work which Is to-day second

ter get one really great work and leave
