FIRST WARD KICK
Wants Street Car Service I'M
provek and Poles Removed.

The First Ward Improvement asso-
citation wants the poles and wires re-
moved from Payne avenue, a better
service on the Mississippi street car
line and a little more speed used in
the grading of Forest avenue.
These matters were considered at
the meeting of the board of directors
Friday evening, and they will be dis
cussed at the regular association meet
ing to be held next Friday.
The car service, the directors say, is
inadequate during the rush hours.
When any extras are added they are
the small cars and these, the members
say, are the next thing to nothing. If
they are used the association wants
trailers with them. Otherwise it wants
large cars.
Payne avenue is lined with lot Of
poles and wires, which, since the wild
ening of the walks, have been literally
left standing in the middle of the walk.
The associations thinks they should be
either set out or removed, preferably
the latter. The wires, as a rule, are
dead ones.
At the meeting Friday evening the
directors organized by electing John
Korngable as president, A. D. Nelson
as secretary, and H. H. Blinn, E. John
son and A. D. Nelson as finance COM
mittee.

COHEN LOSES HIS SUIT
AGAINST UNION BANK
Jury Returns Verdict for Defendant in
Action to Recover Note.

In the case OF Abraham Cohen
against the Union bank, tried before
Judge Kelly, the jury yesterday
brought in verdict in favor of the
bank. Cohen was bankrupt and en-
tered into an agreement with his cred
ltors to pay them 35 cents on the dol
lar. The Union bank was one of the
creditors and in order to make it pos
slble for Cohen to make the settlement
the bank loaned him the sum of $4,000
upon the Endorsement of his more for
tunate relatives.
AT the time Of securing the loan
Conen agreed, so the bank contended,
TO make good what it had lost through
his failure, and in fulfllment of this
promise he made out a note in favor
of the bank for $40, payable at SIS
per month. Cohen declared that he
gave this note to the bank with the
understanding that. he was to have a
loan of $1,000 without security and
when the bank declined to make such
loan to him, he stopped the month
ly payments, of which but two had
been paid.
Cohen then brought action to recov-
er his note for $40 and a small sum
which he had on deposit in the bank at
the time, but the jury which heard the
evidence, decided against him.

people of other churches, and an elo-
quent speaker, DR.. J. F. Stout, the new
presiding elder Of the ST. Paul district
OF the M. E. church, is considered just
the man for the place by the st. Paul
Method1StS, and he is expected to do a
great deal toward furthering the in
terests of the church in. this city and
the surrounding towns of the district.
Or. Stout is well known in the Twin
cities, as he has held two pastorates
In st. Paul and one in Minneapolis.
Dr. Stout came, to Minnesota from
the Illinois conference in 1885, and was
Immediately selected as pastor of the
clinton Avenue M. E. church, of st.
Paul. He was transferred to the First

years service in st. Paul, and was
later sent to Mankato. From Mankato

Tor or the First church. He was pastor

Ter.

WINS HER HEART.
Food That Helps Baby and the Family
PIeases Mother.

Show mother how to feed her baby
SO that it will be healthy, rosy and
plump and grow up strong and sturdy
and the mothers gratitude is ever
lasting.
A mother says: Five weeks ago I
weaned baby but could not get her to
take any kind of food until I tried
Grape-Nuts which she relished from
the first and on it she has pumped up
and blossomed into fat, chubby little
girl.
81 feed Grape-Nuts to her regularly
and use three packages a week for baby
and my three-year- boy alone, and 1
find that it regulates their bowels and
keeps them nourished, strong and In
good health all the time.
"Since feeding my children on
Grape-Nuts I have used absolutely no
medicine for either of them. Such food
as this that does such wonders wins
its way to a mothers heart. Please
accept our thanks for the good your
food has done in our family where we
all eat it." Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
Children will grow up strong and
healthy or weak and puny according to
the food given. Grape Nuts is COM
plete and perfect food made on scien-
tific lines and this is easily proved by
trial.

TO VOTE BY MACHINE
City May Decide to Use Device
at Next Election.

Voting machines which were arrang-
never materialized because of opposi-
ton, may be used in the coming spring
election.
Parties representing a machine used
largely in the East and which figured
on trial in the recent Indianapolis,
Ind, city election, are now negotiating
with the city officials and will, If pos
sible. endeavor to have them used at
the next primary.
When machine was offered for trial
purposes two years ago it was accept
ed and precinct in the Seventh ward
set aside by the council for it's trial,
but before it could be used local par
ties, interested In another machine in
terfered and the trial was passed up in
order that they might perfect their in
vention. Nothing has since been heard
of the local machine
The offer of the voting machine COM
pany, it is understood, will be to in
stall enough machines to care for all
the wards, and take as pay the saving
each year until the entire amount is
paid.
With voting machines there is a ma
terial reduction in the number of clerks
ordinarily required, while a saving is
also effected in the matter of printed
ballots. It is this saving the company
will take as its pay. The claim is made
that a saving of about $4,000 would be
effected each year. 1t would require
ten years to pay for the machines by
this method.

The Grand avenue bridge will be
closed to traffic today. It's demolition
will be commenced at once, and the

The closing of the structure will
necessarily inconvenience patrons of

west of the bridge which patrons can
reach by either crossing the Summit

When the bridge is completed it will
be wide and heavy enough to sustain

FALLS ON FENCE AND
BREAKS THREE RIBS
Martin Foley Is Severely Injured While
Trimming a Tree.

Martin Foley, 255 West Seventh
street, sustained fractures of three ribs
yesterday afternoon while attempting
to trim a tree of it's branches. The
tree, which was in his back yard, had
several gaunt and ugly limbs, and Fo-
ley decided to improve it's appearance
by removing few of the largest. He
threw a rope over one of the branches
and in pulling it, the branch suddenly
snapped, throwing him backwards
against a fence.
Foley struck the fence on his back
and so severe was the impact that
three of his ribs were fractured He
was taken to the city hospital. Foley
is thirty years old, and is employed by
a fuel company.
