body was found lying across the bed,

CHURCH TRANSFORMED
Beautiful Decorations at St. Joseph

Beautiful Decorations at ST. Joseph's
Catholic Parish-concert Sunday.
ST. Joseph's Catholic parish Of North
Minneapolis will hold a grand sacred con-
cert next Sunday evening in commemora-
ton of the church decorations which have
just been completed.
The interior Of the church has fairly
been transformed. On entering, the be-
holder is confronted by a blaze of color
and light; angels are seen lowering above
surrounded by myriads of golden stars.
The pillars are painted so as to give a
white marble effect. In the dome of the
sanctuary there is a large fresco repre-
senting Christ's life in Egypt. On each
side Of the church are the emblems of the
four evangelists. Above these, in the apex,
are angels representing the Holy Passion.
The program for the concert is selected
from the compositions of Schubert, La
Ferriere, Vincent, and other masters. II
is under the direction of Paul Knott and
E. Gochiea. M. Gottesleben is the organ

house quarry yesterday. No action was
taken on disseminating quarry work at
Camden Place, as requested by the resi-
dents in that vicinity. Some of the alder
men did not think well-settled part of
the city was the proper place for quar-
ry, particularly in view of the law which
provides that workhouse prisoners shah
not be exposed to public gaze.
Superintendent Frank Mcdonald pro-
posed that means be provided for estab-
fishing a brickyard as means of keep
ing the prisoners employed. There was
a splendid clay bed on the worlShouse
grounds, and all that was needed was
machinery. The aldermen promised to
consider the matter.

A TOO BAsHFUL MAN
Concealed His Name and Had Marrow
Escape.


Martin Keyes' efforts to prevent his
true name being learned in police couls
this morning came near resulting in his
going to the workhouse.
Keyes was arraigned with the other
prisoners on a charge of drunkenness.
When his name was called he sat still
and allowed the clerk to read it five times
without making answer. Then the clerk
asked the man who had not made his plea
to stand up. Keyes stood up and said
that his name was Pete Daley. He was
given $40 or ten days under that name.
Just as the names were being called
off to take the Black Maria a man came
running up to the bailiff and asked fol
Martin Keyes. He wanted to pay the
mans fine, he said. The bailif looked al
his book, but no Martin Reyes was
| registered
| AS the last name was being called fol
the Camden Place coach, Keyes, who hao
heard the conversation, acknowledged
that he had given a fictitious name to the
| court.

81 900 a Week for Looping the Gap.
Ancilotti, the famous wheelman,
who loops the loop with part Of the
loop cut out, receives $1,000 a week
for his one performance a day, and
this performance lasts less than
minute This simply means that he
is willing to put $1,000 week against
his chance Of killing himself. Ihe
high price results from the fact that
few men could be found willing to
take the risk at any price. You can't
afford to balance the price of golden
grain belt beer against your chance
of being sick. This beer is the sort
of tonic that keeps men and women
in perfect health and is cheap at any
price. No home is complete with
out it.

HoImberg Will Now Be Barred In for
Thirty Days.
Swan Holmbergl learned this morning
that men who become intoxicated and
put their families out Of doors get little
leniency at the hands of Judge Holt.
Swan went home last night and, after
chasing his family into the street, barrl-
caded the doors and went to bed. Ills
wife's entreaties were of no avail and as
a last resort the police were called in.
Judge Holt sentenced Holmberg to thir-
ty days in the werkhouse this morning,
telling him that he was getting a mild
sentence for such an offense.

Other Departments.

The force in the building inspection
department has been increased by two
men. The council ordered it done,
but provided no funds, and hence
Commissioner J. G. Houghton will
have a slight deficit, which he must
include in his estimates for next year.
City Clerk L. A. Lydiard says that
he can run his department at the same
expense as this year, and will only
ask for $3.50.
The only official who will ask for a
smaller appropriation is c. J. Minor,
the city assessor, but the reduction is
due largely to the fact that he will
have no real estate assessment to make
next year, this job coming only every
other year.
Lighting Fund Short.
Inasmuch as the city council
adopted the all-night lighting schedule
the lighting fund will run short this
year by about $4,000. It will be
necessary to care for this deficit and
make provisions so that it will not.
