Facts Submitted for Benefit of
Committee of 300"
Suggestions for Supplementary
Investigation of His Case.
EASY TO FIND OUT.
No Necessity for the Voters Be-
ing Misled.
Why Mr.. Wolf Isn't Fit to Be
Councilman.

BY withdrawing c. v. Wolf with a
fake Investigation the supposedly
non-partfsan Committee of Two Hun
bred" has irreparably injured it's repu-
tation in Topeka. 1t has loaned itself
to the Republican machine which is
backing Wolf, and has allowed itself
to be made the tool of scheming poll
ticians.
The evidence is so overwhelming
against Wolf that it is not much won
der that the Committee of Two Hun
dred; to carry out its plot, was obliged
to listen to no evidence except that
given by Wolf himself, and VOLTS
friends.
There can be no mistake what the
Committee of Two Hundred set about
to do 1t was there to give Wolf a
clean bill of health, and it did its duty.
AS a non-political influence for good in
city affairs. the committee has de-
graded itself by it's fake investigation.
One prominent member of the city
council, who has been with c. V. Wolf
on some of his expeditions, said To-
day:
Everybody in the council knows
that Wolf is a hard drinker. He is
not merely a slipper of whisky-he
pours it down. What's the use in his
denying it? 1t sounds very funny 10
those of us who know him to hear the
Committee of Two Hundred say that
Wolf never drinks or frequents joints.
Wolf is simply fooling those people to
finish"
There are others. A city official of
well known integrity says:
when we were down at Leaven-
worth, and at Kansas City, and at oth-
er places, Wolf went around with the
boys, all right. Did he get full? Oh
well, say I can't give him away, you
know"
Another city official said:
| when the council were at the Bios
SOM House in Kansas City, Wolf
| drank so much that it made him sick

STRIKE ON THE LAKES rs THE
CAUSE.
Milling Companies Substituting Ship
ments by Rail Direct-Do Not Stand
to Lose Penalties-About 100000
Barrels Are on the Lake Docks
Now, Waiting to BE Forwarded.

Tied up at lake ports, awaiting set
tlement Of the strike, is a total Of
about 100000 barrels of Minneapolis
flour. Such is the estimate Of Henry
L. Little, manager of the Pillsbury-
Washburn Co. This big tonnage
ought to be afloat now and some Of it
ought to be in the consignees' hands.
The big ends of this lie at Duluth,
Milwaukee and Chicago, and there are
stocks in warehouses at Gladstone,
Mich, Manitowoc, Wis, and other
points. Until this can be put into mo-
ton the flour trade will labor under
unsatisfactory conditions. Many lots
now on the docks at lake ports are be-
ing replaced by other lots shipped all
rail from Minneapolis direct.
No penalty loss attaches to these
in the case of some country
mill consignments. The Minne-
apolis 1nillers had feared labor
troubles on the lakes and were careful
not to bind themselves too closely on
shipments that way.
Much uncertainty remains concern

that possibly the taxpayers of the city

MINNIE'S GROWING
BOYS And GIRLS
INTERESTING SCIENTIFIC OBSER.
I VATIONS BY DIR. T.. j. COOKE. {:
The Very Large Number of Public
School Pupils, College Students and
Young Men and Women in Minne-
apolis Who Are Lacking Physically.

1T is surprising to note the phys
zeal deficiency, when subjected to
test, Of so many of our public school
pupils, said DR.. L. j. Cooke, physical
director University of Minnesota, and
specialist in therapeutic physical cul-
ture.
''They lack in chest measurement
and lung capacity, in muscular de-
velopment, in power of endurance,
ton, weak kidneys, liver troubles, in
digestion, constipation, insomnia, pc
riodical headaches, impaired vision,
detective hearing and spinal curva-
ture; while many are hollow-chested,
stoop-shouldered, or have too promi-
nent hips, or one hip higher than the
other, and other physical defects too
numerous to mention.
If parents could only realize that
SO much of this life's happiness and
success depended upon the child's
physique, sound, we'll developed
body, greater care would be given
by them to the correcting Of these
wrongs in their children, and child
hood is the time to do it best. It is
owes to the child to see to it that
there is a perfect development of
manhood and womanhood. Mental
Improvement, development and even
polish may begin late in life, but if
the physical is. impaired, weak body
can never contain a strong, clear,
bright and vigorous mind.
College students and young men
and women who know wherein they
lack physically, should not sacrifice
their bodily development to any other
duty or pleasure; and, if necessary,
they should forego some social func-
| ton or recreation to build up a strong,
well developed physique. A little time
given to this will show marvellous re-
| suits.
"On enrolling patrons at my insti-
| tute in the Kasota building, after an
examination Of each, special exercise
is given to meet the particular re-
quirements of the peculiar case, no
two cases being just alike; hence the
necessity of individual care of each
patron who comes under my profess
sional direction. The wrongs in
each case are thereby not only
righted, but the whole system is prop
erly toned up with physical develop
ment at the same time. The patron
| not only feels strong and vigorous
| but is made Socially different per-
! son."
