If you stub your toe,r look around

This morning Rev. G.. l.. Morrill, and
''Tooze' Rogers were communing over
the Unique theater plans when a third
benighted individual broke in to use
the telephone. He began to talk when
the girl at central started some of her
wrath-inducing antics with the connec-

from an O 'erburdened heart. 1t struck
the cornice of the room and spread out

"What 'tis7' queried the victim,
only to be told Of how the pastor Of
the Peoples church had started fund
for needy persons to be supported by
the priced profanity of offenders. He
found that this fund does not go to the
pastor, but is the result of assessments
levied by catching the blasphemer, max
ing him pay for his folly, and that it is
kept for genuine charity. Every one
assessed is constituted a member OF
the anti swearing society and has a
right to impose the penalty upon offend
ers and collect the dollar. All money,
however, must be turned over to the
bursar-which is Morrill-and by Sat-

street profanity of Minneapolis will be
reduced to. such mild -mannered oaths

ANALYST SPEAKS
WELL OF WHEAT
A. w. HOWARD THINKS GRADES
WILL, KEEP UP.
He Is the Man Who Determines Prop
critics of Grain by Baking It and
Keeps the Millers Outlook
Is Encouraging, He Says. -..#

Northwestern millers are going to
have milling wheat that will enable
IL e;e to Keep up, their grades, 1 am
This is the opinion Of A. w. How
ard, an expert wheat analyst, who, in
his little bakeshop down in the Cham
Der OF Commerce district, is baking
loaves of bread to determine their col
or, weight, volume and absorption, to
satisfy inquiring millers in all parts
of the northwest. Science now enables
the miller to maintain his grades more
easily than ever before. A1tho the new
crop is not thoroly analysed and con-
ditions may change, Mr.. Howard is
satisfied that grades will be maintained,
altho possibly with some difficulty.
" In some localities,'' said Mr.. How
ard "there has never been a better out
look for milling since l have been here
and that is twenty years.
Gas matter Of fact we are going to
have pretty fair crop. It will involve
considerable difficulty on the part of
the miller to select his wheat. We
haven It got really far enough into the
crop to determine some things. We
are milling and Analysing great
amount Of wheat for the millers and
elevator men and on the whole they feel
much more encouraged than they did at
first as to the general situation: 1t is
more encouraging than at first ap-
peared.'

STAR WITNESS MISSING
HAROSOK DISAPPEARS AND
CAUSES A FOSTPONMENT IN
THE MANSLAUGHTER CASE OF
THOMAS MOSLOWITZ.

Thomas Moslowitz, indicted on the
charge of manslaughter in the first de-
gree for killing his brother-in-law, An
drew Janowitz, will not be tried at
present and stands a good chance Of
escaping altogether.
When the case was called by Judge
A. M. Harrison this morning, Assistant
County Attorney Leary announced that
Ludwig Harozok, the states star wit
ness, had disappeared and that it was
not considered advisable to proceed
without him. The court reset the case
for Oct. 21.
Harozok was an eye witness, and, in
fact, the only one not related to the
defendant. On his testimony the state
expected to rely. His disappearance
was sudden and now it is reported that
he has been drowned. Until he is found
it is probable that the case will not be
brought to trial and if the reports of
his drowning are true, a trial may never
be held.
The cases against Charles H. Brown,
accused of classifying the records of
the poor department., of which he
acted as secretary during the Ames adj
ministration, were called this morning
and stand for trial. Brown incrim-
mated himself in the trial of William
H. johnson, being the state IS principal
witness He will probably have to face
a jury this term or next.

THE SAME JOHN P.
st. John, the Prohibitionist, Clubs the
Republican PARTY Vigorously.

John P. ST. John, a former governor
Of the prohibitionist party, spoke last
evening to an audience of men and boys
at the Y. NJ. G. A. hall. Mr.. St. John
spent much of the evening in abuse of
the republican party.
1.-The republican PLATFORM he said,
Occupies about four and onehalf feet
OF ordinary newspaper columns. An
alyzed briefly, it consists of three and
one-half feet of praise of the repub-
icans, and abuse of the democrats, and
only about foot Of platform.
The speaker then took each plank in
the platform as a subject for further
scoring, and fayed party leaders from
the president down to common men
foolish enough to vote the ticket.'
In an interview today Mr. st. John
took up the subject of "the merger'' as
follows:
"President Roosevelt pushed and won
the case against the Northern Securi-
ties company, but no intelligent person
imagines that the conditions CONNER
cially are affected thereby. Hill con-
trolls the Great Northern, the Northern
Pacific, and the Burlington as effective
ly as under the merger, even tho not
quite as much to his liking. And, quite
possibly, it is as much to his liking.
There is nothing to placate the dear
people like sham battle in which the
loser is the winner. If the administra-
ton wants to enforce the laws against
the unlawful combination of capital,
why, in the name Of honesty, does it not
proceed under the criminal code9

The great banquet to be given by the
Hennepin county republican committee
to 1900 candidates, political workers

100000 FOR LIGHTING
COUNCIL COMMITTEE MAKES RE-
QUEST FOR $4,000 MORE THAN
IT IS LIKELY TO GET.

The board of tax levy was surprised
this morning when the council commit.
tee on gas su admitted estimates for
street illumination calling for 1926, 900.
The appropriation for 1904 was $780,
900. The estimate runs at least $50 900
more than is available.
Alderman Shoemaker Of the COM
mittee explained that the council, after
the appropriations had been. made, had
adopted the present all-night, alI-year
schedule. The people reioiced because
the moonlight schedule had been aban-
doned, but the move caused a consid-
cradle shortage. The committee be-
lieved the public would not wish to
return to the moonlight schedule.
Mines. J. A. Crosby and Asa Wilcox
asked the board to bear in mind when
considering the estimates Of the school
board that the item for pure water
ought to be retained, as the parents Of
Minneapolis would not tolerate any re-
turn to the use of city water for drink
ing purposes in the public schools,
Alderman John Ryan of the first ward
made a plea for an appropriation Of
$4,000 for lighthouses along the river.
He called attention to the fact that
upward Of thirty young lives were lev
annually thru drowning in the river.

Trouble is brewing for some Of the
election judges in a certain precinct Of

The story is going the rounds in polit-

were purposely misread and counted
otherwise than marked in favor of certain
candidates whom the judges desired to
see elected. At $3.50 am. the day fol-
lowing election one republican county
ticket candidate was called out Of bed
and told Of what was doing in the
fifth, but as this candidate came out a
winner, he will probably make no COM

matter to the officers Of the Voters

ter under Amusement and may bring it
to the attention Of the next grand jury,
provided needed evidence is secured.
