II the Hon. WILLIAM 8. DEvERY's theory

asked him low he got it. The great ex-
policeman answered the question:
Never mind how got It. got It, YOU hungry .
looking seldom fed. You are too lean to be wicked
Mayor Low Ia we'll fed. II he did not throw
his shoulders we'll back when he stands
up, his line of direction would fall outside
his base, and he would topple over, On the
other hand, although Mr., McCLsLIAN is by
no meals i'll nourished, his cubic contents
are not as great as Mayor Lows. There

Mayor Low would be more dangerous

HE HELD UP A FUNERAL
A Peddler Learns the Truth of an
Old Superstition to His
Sorrow.

A peddler who triedto drive thru q
funeral procession on lower Nicollet ave-
nue. this morning now thoroly believes
the old tradition, that such an action is
unlucky. When a sympathetic bystander
led him away he was bleeding profusely
from the nose, while one of his eyes had
taken a black color.
Shortly after 9 o'clock q cortege was
proceeding down Nicollet avenue. and in
the vicinity of Bridge Square the peddler
tried to drive thru the line. The tongue
Of the mourners' carriage struck one of
the wheels of his wagon and his rig was
considerably damaged. Stopping his horse
directly in the path of the funeral, the
pedd1er grasped the reins of the hack
team, demanding the name Of the offend
ing driver. The latter refused. The
peddler declared that he would hold the
horses there until he learned the drivers
name, whereupon Jehu hurriedly dropped
from the box and sn1ote the man of old
bottles and rags between the eyes. The
man Immediately relinquished hold of the
horse, the driver remounted his seat and
drove away, while citizen took care OF
the stunned man.
The patrol wagon was summoned, but
when the officers arrived the crowd had
dispersed and no one knew the name OF
the peddler nor whose funeral had been
so ruthlessly interrupted.

ROWING ISN'T DEAD
Some of the minnesota" Oarsmen
Want to Buy Minikahda
Shells. ~
The Latter Club Will Not Part
With All Its Equip
Sc. ment.

Proposals have been made to the Mini
kahda club by the Minnesota club OF ST.,
Paul, which promise a revival of rowing
in the twin cities. ...
For the past three days members Of
the Minnesota Boat club have been en-
deavoring to negotiate purchase with
Secretary Sewell D. Andrews of the Min
ikahda club and Fred G. James, who has
had general charge of the shells and
practice boats in the possession of the
Minikahda club. .
This morning four members of the St.
Paul club called at the Minikahda boat
house and tried out several Of the shells
with a view to securing them for the
Minnesota club. 49,
An accident to the Minnesota clubs shell
and the approach of a race with the Du-
luth Boat club are responsible for the
move. -..-,aL.. -Et---,
It is highly improbable that the Mini
kahda club will rent any of its shells al
tho there seems to be a willingness to sell
some of them. Minikahda now owns
four four cared Shells three doubles and
sevral seingles as well as, some practice
boats, all purchases from the old Lurline
Boat club four years ago. One Of the
shells cost $575 and several have been
used but little. s-.-...f7 .r,~- -. ..
Altho there has been little LONG in shell
racing In Minnesota for the past six years,
the sport is being revived in New York
Philadelphia and other eastern cities, and
will, in the opinion Of several members OF
the Minikahda club, soon regain its pop
ularity here. -,-a-

W ANTS TIME EXTENDED
Rep. Buchanan Believes Purchasers
of Timber Should Have Mors
Time to Remove It. i

From The Journal Bureau, Room As, Post Build
ing, Washington
Washington, July 3.-Representative
Buchanan has taken up the question of
extension Of time for cutting pine on the
Leech Lake reservation, which will be
sold Dec. %. He believes that inasmuch
as regulations for the sale Of timber on
the open lands Of the reservation have
been approved by the secretary of the
interior and distributed among prospect
i've bidders it is best not to make any
effort to change them. Timber on these
tracts is to be sold Dec. 6, and under
the regulations all timber must be re-
moved by July 1, 1905. .......
AS to the timber on that portion of the
| reservation reserved for forestry pur-
poses, 95 per cent of which Is to be sold
Dec. %, Mr.. Buchanan believes that the
bidders should have at least five years
for its removal He pointed out to the
land Officials o-day that many things
might happen to prevent the cutting OF
timber, among them the outbreak OF
| smallpox, which has been prevalent in
| lumber camps for the past few seasons.
| Then the market might be unfavorabla
| for selling timber He thinks that it
bidders are required to remove the tim

$3.45, but the men refused. To-day a

The machinists also ask TO rthe Chi

now getting $3.15, an dthe company has
offered $40, the same as was granted
to the Northern Pacific machinists a few

Has No Fear Of Outcome and Will
Await Patiently Results
Of Trials.

Health Commissioner p. M. Hall says
that those who have been instrumental
In securing his indictment by the grand
jury and in inoiting against him the civil
suit for $4,000 damages have Interior mo-
tives. He also says that the indictments
and the civil suit are the first fruits Of
an organized effort to injure him and
that the end Is not yet.
In private conversation he goes farther
and says that he knows just how and
why the indictments were brought against
him in connection with the escape Of the
man Judge from the quarantine hospital;
why the civil suit for $4,000 damages on
account Of Judges death has followed the
indictment. and just who Is responsible
for that. He also says that he knew the
civil suit was coming.
When questioned as to his attitude to-
ward the indictments and the opposition
to him, he refused to say anything for
publication, but finally made the follow
ing statement:
Discerning men who can read between
the lines may already have surmised what
Is the fact,-that behind the charges,
criminal, and now civil made against me,
Is a systematic personal attack inf1u-
enced by political and sinister motives. I
should be glad to drag this covert attack
into the open and presenting the simple
facts, rest secure In the righteous judg-
ment of public opinion, but I am advised
that it is both unwise and unseemly to
do this.

am placed upon the defensive. To dis
cuss the facts with the public in advance
of trials would only prevent securing the
services of unbiased and intelligent men
as jurors. I may be pardoned If assure
the public that while these matters are
not without annoyance, my confidence in
my rectitude, and innocence gives me
ample assurance to abide in patience, in
the full belief that when it Is all over, I

Badger of Chicago said it was. necessary

avoided it by keeping their fruit in dark,
cool places, while in the stores canned
goods have to be displayed on the shelves.
Charles p. Redd, in a paper on 'Preser-

was unnecessary to use any preservattve

eminent inspection none but fresh meat
