Travelling Man Mistakes His
Own Daughter for
a Deer.
MISSES HER BY ONLY A FEW
INCHES. .
A Narrow Escape From Dread.
full Tragedy in the
North Woods.

A travelling man who spent
Thanksgiving Day at the Mark
ham was so thankful that he could
not keep the case of it to himself,
although he refused to give any
name for publication. Only a few
days ago.. near his own home in
Wisconsin, while out deer hunting
he had narrow escape from kill
ing his own daughter. He relates
the incident as follows: ''My
wife, little II year old girl and I
went out deer hunting about
twenty miles from our home the
other day and made our head.
quarters in an old log shanty
which was owned by friend of
mine. My wife and daughter re-
manned at the shanty to prepare
the midday meal while I should.
cred my rifle and started out in
pursuit of game. I had been
gone something more than an
hour and got somewhat turned
around, in fact, did not know that
was anywhere in the vicinity Of
the shack, when suddenly my at
tention was attracted to a moving
object a little distance away. It
looked for all the world like a deer
and I thoughtlessly blazed away.
Instantly saw the figure stand
upright only to discover that it
was my little girl who had wan
dered away from the shack Just
to see what she could see.' Well,
now you can imagine that my
heart went up in my mouth and
that it remained there for some
little time. The bullet I ascer-
tanned had passed within six
inches of her head and split a twig
of a tree, squarely in two. We
gods! Twill never get over that
shock as long as [ live. If that
bullet had killed my little girl |
believe Ilwould have sent another
through my own head. 1t was
certainly a narrow escape and
taught me a lesson that will last
me for all time to come. I shall
never go hunting again. No, I am
not very proud of the affair and
that is the reason [ decline to give
my name"

WOODSMAN
HILARIOUS
lnherits Large Sum of Money
Then Goes on Big Spree
With Friends.
BUYS DRINKS AND REFUSES TO
ACCEPT CHANGE.
StreWs Money Broadcast Over
Bars in Celebrating His
Good Fortune.

Otto Schmidt, who has been
making Northome his home for
some time past, has just com
pleted one of the most elaborate
and farreaching sprees that ever
fell to the lot of woodsman in
northern Minnesota, but has the
satisfactory of knowing that he
has a snug income for the rest of
his life.
The spree was the results of
Mr.. Schmidt's Inheritance of a
fortune which ia all amounted to
$16, 900 from a relative who died
some time ago in Germany. A
few days ago Schmidt received
word from the German consul at
st. Paul that he had a fortune
awaiting him and all that was
necessary was for him to prove
his identity. This he did very
promptly and he received a check
for the amount left him by his
wealthy relative. Upon receiving
the money, Schmidt proceeded
to celebrate his good fortune at
Northome in very artistic man.
ner and for several days it was
unnecessary for anyone to lay
down any money in order to get
drinks at the refreshment parlors
of that city Schmidt pays for
this" was a common expression
at Northome for a week, and the
money Schmidt put up for intoxi-
eating beverages was larger than
the bar bill of an ordinary topper.
He refused to accept change from
a bartender and invaria ole laid
down a bill in payment for ';the
drinks for the house. y
He has sobered up since, how
ever, and says that he will spend
no more money unnecessarily.
He intends to take a trip to the
F'atherland after which he will
settle down and enjoy life with the
large income which the money
will bring him.

ing implicated in the hold-up and
murder at Columbia Heights Tuesday

THE ZOCH RECITAL

To anyone listening to such a program
as that presented by Hermann E. Zoch,
the pianist, at the First Unitarian church
last evening, the first and most profound
impression is the immense capacity of the
man for memorizing and executing with
mastery force and intelligence such a
mass of music as has been presented by
Mr.. Zoch during the last nineteen years, in
siXty-four recitals. The program last night
was prodigious, containing the Beethoven
sonata in fiat, op. &C. and the Liszt
"Rhapsodie HOngroise, No H." both i'm
mense numbers, and profusion of lighter
things, not to mention the Schumann
"Toccata, Op. T." in itself an exceedingly
difficult thing to memorize as we'll as in
terpret.
For some reason during the first part of
the evening Mr.. Zoch did not reach his
usual standard of excellence. His memory
was not quite as impeccable as usual, and
there was not the usual absolute perfec-
ton Of execution. AS the evening pro-
crossed, however, his playin gimproved,
and closed in blaze of glory in the Liszt
Rhapsodie which altho one of the least at
tractive Of the great abbes rhapsodies,
seems to be enjoying revival Of popular
ity among pianists. Mr.. Zoch fairly out
did himself in his playing of the Chopin
numbers, the glissando effects of the
"Nocturne Op. So, No. IT, being simply
marvellous and played with great virtuos
ity. The ''Valse Posthume" was taken at
a terrific tempo and was finely played.
Three new Russian compositions were
rendered, and proved entertaining, the
Pachulski number being especially delicate
and melodious The Leschetitzki I'm
promptu" was finely read, altho as a COM
position it does not take high rank. De-
spite the cold weather there was a large
audience present overlooking into the bal
comics. Mr.. Zoch was rewarded two in
sistent encores, to one Of which. the Noe
turne, he responded. a

Constipation S j .
Its Cause and Cure
Cathartfcs and Purgatives Soon Lose
Their Effect and Do More Harm
Than Good.

Nature has provided only one way
to get food into the system.
The necessity of getting rid of the
waste products-poisons If they re-
main-is emphasized by the fact that
she has provided four ways to get rid
Of them.
The bowels, the. kidneys and blad-
der, the pores of the skin and the
lungs all unite to keep the system
clear of waste matter.
If the bowels become inactive; that
portion of the food which should be
expelled lies in the intestines and fer
ments, causing blood, nerve, liver and
kidney trouble and preparing the en-
tire system for disease.
Iron-Ox Tablets cure constipation
by stimulating the stomach, bowels,
liver and kidneys to natural action.
They insure perfect digestion, COM
plete assimilation, and natural flow
Of digestive and expulsfve fluids, so
that purgatives and cathartics are UNI
necessary.
Any remedy which shocks the sys-
tenn into activity Is dangerous Do
not expect immediate perceptible eff
fects from Iron-Ox Tablets. They
produce natural, regular building
up Of all the bodily functions. This
takes little time, but success is alb
solutely certain.
Do not confound Iron-Ox Tablets
with liquid preparations which are
simply drugged alcohol, and which
create habit which is nothing more
nor less than alcoholism. Iron-Ox
Tablets build up the system Slowly
they cannot create habit"

SAW ELECTRIC PLANTS
MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL
AND RETAIL DEALERS AssO-
CITATION VISIT G. e. CO.'S BIG
ESTABLISHMENT.

About sixty-flve members Of the
city council and Of the Retail Deal
ers' association, inspected the two
power stations of the Minneapolis
General Electric company last night
under the pilotage Of General Manag-
er A. M, Robertson, Assistant Manag-
er N. 3. Seavey and Messrs. 7. r..
Symons and George Hall of the oper-
ating department.
Astonishment was expressed at the
extent Of the companys investment
and surprise that such an elaborate
lighting plant was so little known.
Mr.. Robertson had invited the franz
chise committee of the council to in
vestigate the power plants. When the
ton they in turn asked the entire
council to- take dinner with them at
the Hotel Nicollet, after which all
would make the trip together. After
the dinner special cars were on hand
to take, the party to Main street,
whence the power plant at Third av-
enue Sc was reached on foot. This
was followed by a return trip to the
west side and an inspection Of the
transforming, battery and headquar-
ters building on Fifth street S.
Assistant Manager Seavey had
tagged all the machines so that any
one could tell at a glance the signifi-
canoe Of the different, pieces of appa-
ratus. At the power house special
attention was paid to an enormous
new direct-connected engine which
has been running by steam thirty
days, and is the pet Of the working
force. Employees were everywhere to
explain fully the two sources of mo-
tive power, water and steam, and all
the mechanism.
At the main office refreshments and
cigars were served.
A fine feature of the trip was test
of the fire brigade at the main sta
ton. The alarm was rung suddenly,
without warning to the guests and all
rushed for the exit only to see the
contest between the engine room and
machine room floors to get stream
of water running first.

SAYS UNCLE SAM
SHOULD WAKE UP
ERNEST #. FENOLLOSA'S VIEWS
ON FAR EASTERN QUESTION.
He Believes Problem One of Vital In
terest to America - Progressive
Element in China Will Do What
Same Element in Japan Did There.

Ernest & Fenollosa, for many years
resident of Japan and famous
authority on Japanese and art sub
jects, who is now lecturing in Mime
apolis, is keenly interested in the
Russo-Japanese situation. When
found to-day at the home Of p. v.
Collins, Mr.. Fenollosa said:
Il should like nothing better than
to drop everything else and stump
the country in an effort to arouse the
people to a sense Of what present de-
velopnents mean and what is at stake
My message would be that America
would better wake up and make up
her mind what she is going to do.
She has a tremendous stake in east
ern affairs and must be ready to pro-
tect her interests and take a hand in
the settlement. That doesn't mean
that it will be necessary for the United
States to take military action, altho
it may come to that. If we stand
back and let Japan, the sentinel Of
civilization, be crushed. we shall pay
dearly
In Mr.. Fenollosas view, If China
is protected from her external en-
emies for the present, the reform
party within will in time gain the
ascendancy over the greater enemy Of
the country, the corrupt and reac-
tionary mandarin class, headed by the
empress. When the reform forces get
in the saddle the history Of China
will take the same direction as that
Of Japan. It is the cause of human
ity and Of self-interest to defend
China.
Mr.. Fenollosa was in the far east
during the Spanish war and it's set
Element, and tells Of the stunning eff
feet of the American capture of the
Philippines upon Russia. He says the
nations look on like lambs, while
Japan stands as the champion of the
higher civilization, and is threatened
with ultimate humiliation.
Arrangements have been made to
have Mr.. Fenollosa give a talk on the
Russo-Japanese situation next Tues
day noon at the Commercial club.

PIPE BIDS TOO HIGH
Aldermen Can't See Why St. Paul Can Get
Better Prices,

Both bids for castiron water pipe re-
ceived by the city council are recon-
mended for rejection by the council COM
mittee on waterworks, which met yester-
day afternoon to consider the matter. The
bids are respectively $25.75 and $25.70 per
ton, while St. Paul a few days ago
awarded a contract for about the same
quantity wanted here at $23.35. The al
dermen will try to ascertain why manu-
facturers quote better prices to ST. Paul
than Minneapolis.
y City Engineer Andrew Rinker reported
adversely on the proposition to carry a
thirty six-inch main across the new
bridge at Thirty-second avenue N. The
vibration Of the bridge and the exposure
to the weather would be very trying on
the pipe. The main should be submerged.
The city engineer, registrar and super
visor Of waterworks were instructed to
report on the number Of men necessary
to operate the new pumping station in
Northeast Minneapolis and to indicate
which stations could be closed without
danger to the city.

Japanese to Live on Rice and Fish.

The Chicago Record Herald sug-
gests that one reason why this coun-
try cried out against the war between
Japan and Russia was from the fact
that Japan had said she would not
purchase any canned meats in this
country in case of war. The Japanese
soldiers will live on rice and dried
fish which are, cheap and easy to
transport. To such a diet golden grain
belt beer would certainly be a well
come addition, and, in fact, it adds
wonderfully to any feast. AS a health
tonic. for daily use in the home it has
no equal. A single trial case will
