Put IN A NICKEL:
won 100000 CIGARS
HOPKINS MAN PLUNGEs HARD ON
SLOT MACHINE.
He Quits the Game 10000 Cigars to the
Good, but Declines to Settle for $18.
and Is Now vowing Vengeance
Against the Owner of the Machine.

Think Of winning 100000 cigars on
an original investment of a nickel!
Relations are now strained between
a railroad employe of Hopkins and a
merchant of that city who maintains
a slot machine in connection with his
cigar stand. The merchant refuses to
pay up, declaring that he has changed
his mind about gambling and does not
believe that it is moral.
The original play started mildly, but
the railroader was not content to win
small amounts and began putting SIS
on fushes. A successful draw to a
flush on the machine nets eight Scent
cigars for a nickel. For SIS the num-
Der supposed to be paid would be 800.
The. plunger continued to play until he
had amassed the huge credit of 100000
cigars. By this time he was thinking
in denominations Of a, thousand and
vana smoke in prospect for him.
- I'll go you one to see whether you
give me 10000 or 2O,OOO,' he said
as he fed another nickel to the ma
chine. as-' as .~ ..

| AS it was Saturday night and 10000
cigars would pretty wen clean OUT Ine
store, the dealer asked the man to come
back on Monday. The next day the
dealer came post haste to Minneapoli:
and consulted a lawyer. The lawyer
declared that it was a gambling deb
and could not be collected.
When the plunger came around fol
the cigars, he was shown $18 and told
to take that or get out. He decided t.
wait and also consulted a lawyer. Whe1
he found that he had no recourse, h
| went back and said many words to tn
dealer and steadfastly refused to tax
the $18. He declares he has schem
in mind to secure as much satisfaction
as 10000 cigars would give him.

JEWISH NEW YEAR.
First Day of the Hebrew New Year
Celebrated by Services.

First Day Of the Hebrew New Year
Celebrated by Services.
Today marks the beginning of the
Jewish new year, and services cele-
brating the holiday were held in re-
form hall Friday evening and this
morning. The celebration covers a
portion of three days, and services VIII
be held tomorrow, also at reform han.
Among the Jews the new years eel
ebration is known as Rosh Hashono,
and the proper celebration of the pres
emit day ends with shutdown tonight.
In olden times these services were
on the most elaborate plan, and lasted
from Friday night until Sunday. Dur
ing these times, charity was dispensed
among the poor, and it was time OF
general thanksgiving and rejoicing. IL
was a sort of harvest feast, and cor
responded in some measure to the mar
vest festivities of today.
Among the orthodox Jews, the cele-
bration Of this event is observed with
great ceremony. The law as laid down
in the twenty-third chapter of Levitt
Gus is in many cases rigidly enforced.
The priests begin blowing the trumpets
at sunrise and continue the celebration
until sunset. This is said to be the
memorial of the sound of the trumpet
on Mt Senai when the law was given,
or as some think, of the creation. sup
posed to have been in the autumn or
the year. For this reason, this was con-
sidered by the Hebrews to be the first
month.
