AXEL's SIMPLE GARB'
Had a Startling Effect Upon q
Meeting Which He
Invaded.
A Japanese Screen and q Blanket
Helped to Clarity the
Situation.

Extreme devotion to ''the simple life''
has brought Axel Lindt young farmer
of Wyoming, Mimi, into the county Jail.
Axel. who is an invalid. has been occu-
plying a second floor bedroom at the Nor
apolis Yesterday afternoon he was left
deaconesses in the parlor, where the man
ayers Of the home were holding a recep-
ton. The parlor was filled with flowers,
ladies and clergymen. At the psychology
ical moment Axel entered. He began an
abrupt protest against extravagant dress
ing. Don't put all your money on your
back!'' he cried. II tell you, folks, hate
a paper-collar dude!"
Yet the young mans eloquenoe was I'M
necessary. His example was far more
convincing. He wore nothing so protect
I've as paper collar. He hadn't put a
cent upon his back-or elsewhere
Most Of the company left the room. An
attendant seized a Japanese screen,
pushed it along in front of her toward the
reformer clad in the very garb of truth
and began praising his principles while she
crowded him physically into corner. An
other attendant was telephoning for the
police. When the wagon came Axel was
peer1ng over the edge OF the screen and
1nstructing an audience that now filled
the parlor. g., An officer holding a gray
blanket and halter strap edged III
around the screen, and Axel accepted ar
| invitation to drive.
This Sartor Desartus will be questioned
Monday In the probate court.

R.WAIS0N A POSSIBILITY
First Assistant Librarian of Carne-
gle Library, Pittsburg May
Succeed DR.. Hosmer.

William Richard Watson first assistant
librarian at the Carnegie library, Pitts
burg is being considered by the Mime
apolis library board for the vacancy
caused by the retirement OF DR.. James
Kendall Hosmer.
There are numerous other candidates,
but Mr.. Watson is particularly prominent
at present, from the fact that he has re-
Gently been visiting in this city and his
appointment is being urged by several in
f1uential citizens.
James T. Elwell has known Mr.. Watson
from his birth. He Is SO and Is a native
Minnesotan, having been born at Cottage
Grove from pioneer stock. His grand
father was the speaker of the first terri
torial legislature and his father has sat
in the legislature several times. Mr.. Wat
son has a fine position in Pittsburg, but is
young and ambitious to make a record
For eight years he has been the execu-
tive officer of the Carnegie library and is
decared to be well qualified ito conduct the
Minneapolis public library and his friends
have no doubt that he would prove a
worthy successor to Herbert Putnam and
DR.. Hosmer.
The friends Of Miss Letltia Crafts, as
sistant librarian at the state university,
| and of Miss Gratia Countryman, first as
! sistant under DR.. Hosmer, are urging
| their claims strongly. While the library
directors readily admit that both are emf
| nently qualified to act as librarians, they
! have felt that they want man at the
| head of the institution. It Is not settled
| when the election will be held

WORKING ON A POLICY
Minneapolis Trust Co. Stockholders
Have an Important Session.

Stockholders Of the Minneapolis Trust
company at a. meeting to-day authorized
H. w. Dunwoody, vice president, to ap-
point a committee Of five to consider
the policy and general welfare of the
company and to report at the annual
meeting Nov. 3 or sooner. -
Samuel Hill of Seattle, the president,
was unable to make railroad connections
at Chicago and failed to be present.
It is understood that owing to the de-
parture from the city Of certain interested
persons with large holdings in the com
pany and owing to other contingencies, it is
deemed wise to have the situation thoroly
canvassed before determining the policy
of the organization. This naturally in.
wolves the consideration of the discontin.
uance Of the company or of the reorganiz.
alton of the board Of directors by replac.
ing nonresident with active members.
No division or dissent1on exists amons
the stockholders. The last sale of share.
was made at 1913.

SLUGGED A HELPLESS MAN
Pinioned by a Policeman, a Negro
Is Pounded by Excited
z* Bystanders.

A miniature race war ragged on Sixth
street between Hennepin and Nicollet ave-
nues last night and only the interference
Of the police prevented an affair which
promised a lynching. ~.
About 10 o'clock one of three negroes in
a Sixth street saloon, after an alteration,
sta bbed white man in the neck e,8
The three then ran out hot1y pursued
by a small crowd which grew rapidly and
surrounded two of the negroes, the third
disappearing down the street with knife
In his hand. One of the two was cap
tured, while the other got away.
While the captured man was held by
a policeman, he was repeatedly struck
over the head by the excited bystanders,
one of whom used a closed knife until the
blood spurted from the wounded scalp:
About this time it was found that he
was the wrong man and he was allowed
to go, much the worse for rough handling.
The white man was not seriously
wounded.

VRBSTBD FROM NATURE
The Secret Of a Great Remedy
at Last Discovered.

No disease has baffled medical skill,
numerically at least, more than dyspep-
STA. This is partially due to the myriad
forms it assumes and partially to the lack
of remedies which were prompt and reli-
able. The treatment of the disease, ac-
cording to the, old school, was quito
largely experimental and one case was
seldom a precedent for the treatment Of
another.
1t was not until Chase's Dyspepsia Cure
was presented to the world that a POSI-
tive and unfailing specific was available.
This Incompatible remedy is In no sense
a "cure ALL but a scientific product
evolved out Of years Of study, experiment
and test. It was not offered to the public
until it had been practically demonstrated
to be an absolutely reliable cure for any
condition arising from arrangement Of the
digestive organs.
1t will cure any case Of indigestion,
heartburn, sour stomach. nausea, d1zzt-
ness, distress or belching after meals, sick
headache, nervousness or any other phase
of stomach disorder, and in all cases it
will give immediate relief, even at the
first dose. -.@ w.
Chase's Dyspepsia Cure is prepared IN
liquid form, which permits 1t to begin
it's merciful work at once. Pills and tab
let's must be dissolved in a stomach too
weak to dispose of ordinary food and this
greatly retards the action of their in
gradients. -.
