Man Who Attempted to In- terfere With Workers
 He Was Armed.

The first attempt at violence in the rarpenters and hodcarriers' strike oc- curred this morning at the building of {the Manyille Machine Go on Dublin street. The police were obliged to take a hand in it and subsequently the city court 1t is the intention of the authorities to suppress violence in this strike.
 Nincenzio Casarid striking hod carrier saw Dominic MOrone fetching water from the Mad river this morn ing and shouted to him that it would be better for him to stop working. Morone' told him to go and soak his head. Casario approached from the south side of the Dublin street bridge and his shouts were heard on East Main street. Officers Hickey and Brickel, who were on duty at the building, heard them and hastened to the scene. A colloquy took place be- tween the striker and the man at work. There was 8 man with Casario and the attitude of both, more than what was said, indicated to the officers that it was their duty to interfere. Accordingly they took Casario into custody and as Officer Brickel was searching him Casario dropped a stil- leIto from his hip pocket A razor was found on him. Officer Rrickel put his twisters on the man and Spe- chal Officer Colosanto took him to the station house. where he was charged with breach of the peace and carrying lconcealed weapons.
 Tn the city court before Judge Peas ley the officers testified the accused threatened Morone in English and Italian.
 Morone testified that while he was working Casario threatened him that it would be better for him to quit work. Morone only went to work this morning on the job.
 Casario said he was only foo1ing and that he was going to go to work with Morone. and that he only told him to carry brick and himself would carry water from the river He also testi- fled that he worked on the job Mon day, but did not work yesterday as he went into the country and that work has been done on the job all the week.
 Officer Brearton who has been on duty at the job since the strike. de- clared Monday, said there has been no work done there since then. Tn view of this contradictory evidence. Prose cutor Meigs said the accused had lied on the stand and asked that sufl- cient fine be imposed to make an ex- ample of the man to stop any further conduct of this kind A fine of S10 and costs on each of the complaints was imposed with the alternative of going to jail.

 During the morning the state cen tra1 committee room which was pla- carded Parker Headquarters--Wa In," was the scene of many confer ences, Chairman Walsh and Secretary Thomas perfected the details of tie caucus program.
 At Heub1ins's MT Troup received the Hearst delegates who were given tri- colored lapel buttons having the words Hearst, the Peoples Candidate on them.

prom. Cit has been detected by the
postoffice authorities in the act OF
smuggling.
The gentleman has been in Naples
and Rome for the winter and has been
going it alone" his wife remaining
in Minneapolis. This mornings mail
brought what appeared to be a pack
age of newspapers addressed to the
wife. There was q fulness and spring
mess about the package which
aroused the suspicious Of the postal
clerks. The package was taken to
Postmaster Hales office and opened.
There were two copies of 'L'1taliae"
published in Rome, and tucked away
in the center of the package was a
pair of fine kid gloves for the wife of
the "smuggler." Under ordinary CIR
cumstances the gloves are subject to
confiscation, but as they are too small
for Major Hale he will turn them over
to the customs department for APP
praising and notifying the wife of the

WAR OPENS ON BLIND PIGS
FIRST RESULTS ARE SEEN IN
POLICE COURT TO-DAY-ONE
OFFENDER PLEADS GUILTY.

Blindpiggers can expect no leniency
ut the hands of the court if they are
arrested and convicted. Police SUI
perintendent Conroy has given orders
that all blind pigs shall be closed and
men in plain clothes have been gath
ering evidence for a month.
Yesterday the first two arrests were
made. Chris Bjork was charged with
selling liquor at his store, 4165 WASH
ington avenue N, and Fred Dubois at a
similar place at 1925 Washington av-
enue N. Both places are candy and
cigar stores and the residents in the
vicinity say they will not stand their
existence any longer.
Dubois pleaded guilty in police court
this morning and was given a sem
tence of 500 or ninety days. He
asked for a. short sentence, as he was
g. cripple and had to sell liquor to
make living. Judge Dickinson took
the other view, saying the man was
better off in the worlIhouse than
breaking the liquor laws. r..
Bjork pleaded not guilty and his trial
was set for Saturday morning.
The men were arrested by Patrol
men Mcdonnell and Anderson, who
are working on other cases in North
Minneapolis.

FUTURE OF THE MAC"

CORPORATION Idea,

The Subscribers May Abandon the Close
Corporation Idea.
The question of the future management
of the Minnesota Magazine, the literary
publication of the university will come up
for settlement early next week at a meet
ing of the subscribers.
The magazine is nomnally published by
the senior class but its management has
always been i'll the hands of a self-per-
petuating board of editors. This plan was
so severely criticised last year that this
years board promised to call a meeting Of
subscribers at the end Of their term and
to accept the plan thereby suggested for
choosing the next board of editors
The two plans which will be considered
at the meeting will probably be the pres
ent close corporation system and the plan
proposed by the innovators which was that
the selection of editors be left to board
.of directors elected by the subscribers.

NOT ENOUGH WATER
impossible for st. Paul to Supply Needs
Of MINNEAPOLIS.

The suggestion Of the Pioneer Press
that Minneapolis be permitted to connect
with the st. Paul water system in order
to obtain pure water is ridiculed by Min
neapols health and water officials. st.
Paul uses only about 100000 gallons Of
water daily, while Minneapolis requires
about 20,000,000A gallons every day. II
Minneap polls should hitch on to the St
Paul water system, Lakes Phalen, Vad-
nails and the many others in the st. Pau
water supply system would be drained
in, a very short time. On account Of the
heavy rainfall Of the past two years the
lakes were quite full last summer, but
there have been times when st. Paul jus,
about faced water famine.

National Jewish Institution Has Minneap-

Newly aroused interest in hospitals for
consumptives has brought out the fact
that Minneapolis has a representative. j.
NJ Davis, in the directorate of the Ma
tional Jewish hospital for consumptives at
Denver which was opened in 1900. This
Is supported by contributions from all over
the country as well as. from Minneapolis.
One hundred and forty mine patients Were
admitted in 1900. in 1901, 121. and in 1902
49, The expense of maintaining this hos
pital In 1902 was about $4,000 and only six
patients died. The buildings and improve
ments are now worth about 500, 900.
/ While the hospital is national, admitting
patients Of all creeds and races free Of
charge, it's support comes exclusively from
the charitable Jews Of this country.

Sfi!l Ffore Evidence.

Bay City, ILL.,, August 8 Especial
Mr.. K. +. Henley OF this city adds
bis evidence to that published almost
daily that sure cure for Rheumatism
is now before the American people and
that that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Mr.. Henley had Acute Rheumatism.
He has used Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
Gays of the result:
CATER suffering for sixteen years
with Rheumatism and using numerous
medicines for Rheumatism and more
medicines prescribed by doctors, l at
last tried Dodd's Kidney Pills with the
result that got more benefit fro y
them than all the others put together.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills were the only
thing to give me relief, and 1 recon-
mend them to all suffering from Acute
Rheumatism"
Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid
in the blood. Healthy kidneys take
all the Uric Acid out OF the blood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy
kidneys.

Removing the Apostate.

In the early days Of the British
Royal Academy reverence for the "Old
masters" Of painting amounted almost
to worship. When at dinner Sir
Martin Shee, one of the early presi-
dents, openly expressed doubts of their
infinite superiority, says NJ. A. P, his
hearers were Mortified.
Sir Martin leaned across the dinner
table and raped upon it to empha-
Gze his points.
Now there's Raphaeiw he thun'

THE sIBLE AND OTHER BOOKS

Three Hundred Million Copies Of the
Scriptures Circulated in a Century.
On Wednesday, March 7, 1904, "a
numerous and respectable meeting Of
persons of various denominations was
held at the London Tavern, and a So
ciety formed ito promote the circula-
ton of the Holy Scriptures in the prin-
cipal living languages" At that time
the Bible, or portions Of 1t, could be
obtained in about forty living Ian
guages, spoken by two-tenths Of the
race. During the century since the
meeting at the London Tavern i'd
journed, and very largely from the
machinery then and there started, the
Scriptures have been translated into
$50 languages and dialects, understood
by seyen-tenths Of the race. By the
London society alone 1S0,000,G00 copies
have been distributed, at an expense of
$7OOOO,OOO. If we add to this total the
100000 copies already distributed by
the younger American Bible Society,
and the unknown millions printed and
sold by private enterprise, we find our
selves inside q safe estimate If we bold
that certainly 3O0!OOOOOO copies of the
Scriptures, in whole or separate books
or portions, have gone into circulation
during the last century.
Amusement attends the study Of the
Bible, whatever the point of view OF
the course pursued. But nothing about
the Bible is more amazing than Its
continuous, universal and utterly un
paralleled popularity. In nearly every
It not every, country on earth where
books are sold, more Bibles are sold
than any other book. Last year the
British and Foreign Bible Society
alone distributed 5,943,775 copies, the
majority by sale, in 80 languages
covering every part OF the globe. Anc
the issue by the American Society fol
the year amounted to 1,993,55S Bible;
and poruons-Century.
