for a little baby girl. Different physi-

SO much for me concluded to put her
on the food, and get d coffee mill to
grind it in, and gave 1t to her with good
cream. She picked up very quickly and
began to gain flesh and strength. Now

STEEL FROM TITANIC ORE.
Successful Test Of New Process in
St. Paul Yesterday.

: Frank johnson, of St. Paul, president
of the Johnson Nickel Mining company,
says he has discovered a process whereby
titanic iron ore can be snelted in an or
dinary cupola and made into steel as fine
as the finest Bessemer. An experiment
was made in st. Paul yesterday before
about thirty Duluth men which is said to
have proved the assertions of Mr.. John
son. sz. .s. +. ,...-- '.~-st
: While the hard and soft ore mines of ST..
Louis county have been turning out mill
lions of tons annually for years, farther
north, in Cook county, there are gigantic
beds Of iron. which, because of the pres
ence of titanium, have received but little
attention. It was in these deposits tha t
Kristian Kortgaard sunk a fortune while
treasurer Of Minneapolis. This ore will
now be made useful and men holding the
property in this part of the state are said
to be jubilant over the discovery Of the
new process. E..

Edward Bonk Asks Dismissal Be.
cause His Wife Was Grand
Jury Witness.

A practical joke, that came un-
comfortably near landing it's perpetrator
in the penitentiary, was given a final
adjudication In Judge Eliott's courtroom
attempted robbery in the first degree, was
against him was nolled. 50
The Larson episode thus happily
terminated was in the nature of a prac-
tical joke intended for one Strand, but
the chief actor unluckily ran up against
the wrong man and when he attempted to
make j. w. Moore stand at the point of a
revolver and deliver up his worldly goods,
he was grappled and finally landed in Jail.
Since that time Larson has been out on
bond awaiting the disposition OF his case,
which was thoroly investigated by Assist
ant County Attorney Leary before he,
made his motion to nolle.
A nolle was also entered on the. motion
of Mr.. Leary in the case against Ernest
whitney, charged with horse stealing.
The defendant was accused of working
with Robert Walton, who recently
pleaded guilty to grand larceny In the sec
ond degree and gas given a .reformatory
sentence, but the county attorneys office
failed to find material evidence which
would warrant them in proceeding with
the prosecution.
The indictment against Charles Owens,
accused of stealing various pacards from
his half brother, was nolled, as the two
men were members Of. the same family
and were partners, the charge OF larceny
could not be sustained against the de-
fendant.
James Sutcliffe, accused of grand lar
ceny in the second degree, was allowed to
withdraw his plea of not guilty and plead
ed guilty to petty larceny. He was re-
manded for sentence.
Noah Cohen, said to be the father of
nine children, withdrew his plea Of not
guilty and entered a plea of guilty to the
charge Of receiving stolen property. He
was sentenced to sixty days in the county
Jail.
Fred Sanford, tried on the charge Of re-
ceiving stolen property from ZastrOw a.
Kidwell was acquitted by Jury which
had remained out since o'clock yesterday
afternoon. His attorney made a motion
to have an indictment charging grand lar
ceny in the second degree llolled, but upon
the statement Of Mr.. Leary to the effect
that he believed a conviction might be
obtained in this case, Judge Elliott denied
the motion.
s. Meyers, attorney for Edward Bonk,
convicted of nonsupport of his wife and
under indictment for the desertion and
nonsupport Of minor child, requested
that his client be allowed to withdraw his
plea Of guilty and enter a motion to quash
the Indictment on the ground that it was
illegal because the defendants wife testi-
fed against him before the grand jury.
The court refused to allow a withdrawal
Of the plea at this time. The contention
Of the defendant will be brought UP and
argued later. ae

Its Calling Burden OF

At the Sunday morning service of st.
Peder's Danish Evangelical Lutheran
church, Ninth street and Twentieth ave-
nue. s, the congregation saw the last yes
tige of debt wiped out. All obligation
fully met in that the mortgage which has
rested upon the church property for some
sixteen years was annihilated. Rev. p.
Jensen, former pastor, congratulated the
congregation and Mrs. Soren Peterson
assisted in the ceremonies applying the
match to the mortgage papers. AS the
flames were dying out the congregation
united in singing "Dejlig er Jorden'' The
untiring. efforts Of Former Pastor j. G.
Petersen, now of Salinas, Cal, made 1t
possible to hold this celebration. He
flabored early and late and obtaining as

THEIR WRITING o. K.
Minneapolis sohoolma'ams Think
Their Chirography Is UP to Date.

Minneapolis schoolma' ANS are inclined
to resent the reflections cast upon their
average hand writing yesterday by a
morning paper. In the absence of Secre-
tary Hugh Marchbank at q meeting of
the board Of education, Director McMil-
Ian undertook to decipher various COM
munications from teachers, and, according
to the article, was unable to make any
headway owing to Horace Greeley pen
manship, poor spelling and bad grammar.
:'One would get the impression from
reading that article said an indignant
teacher. that we were an ignorant lot,
with no more idea Of English as 1t Should
be written than was possessed by the In
imitable Sis Hopkins. Now that's a mis-
take. Some of us may not be up in pen
manship and few are no doubt a little
lame in spelling, but the majority certainly
use better grammar and spell and write
as we'll if not better, than the members

WARNS THE PUBLIC
The Health Commissioner on Prom
iscuous Garbage Collecting.

Health Commissioner p. M. Hall sounds
a note Of warning against too general
custom of patronizing garbage removing
concerns when the health department is
SO well provided with the means of looking
after garbage in systematic way. He
traces much Of the present run Of typhoid
fever to the practice Of private garbage
collectors Of hauling refuse from one
residence and dumping it on the first con-
venient vacant lot There is an ordinance
against this practice, but it is repeatedly
violated by unscrupulous collectors. The
result is, that instead of being hauled to
the crematory, at Fifty second avenue N,
and there being effectually disposed of by
incineration, it is allowed to "smell TO
heaven in the open.
DR.. Hall admits that the long haul to
the crematory is responsible for much Of
the present loose handling Of garbage altho
the health department has wagons enough
to transport most of the garbage. A
more convenient location Of a. crenatory
such as that at Halls island, he thinks,
can alone solve the problem.
