WAS TOO STRONG
And BROKE ROPE.
MODERN SAMSON'S STRENGTH
RESULTS IN HIS INJURY.
He Pulled a Strong Gable in Two, the
Load Fell With Crash and the
Man Was Hurt by His Backward
Plunge to Earth.

Because he was too strong to work,
Walter Orr, for years a professional
strong man." pulled an inch rope
apart While hosting ice into re-

too strong to be killed, Orr was taken
to the city hospital but refused to re-

Tired of this method of earning a
living, Orr decided to try manual
labor and was hired to handle ice by
Charles Patten at Minnehaha Falls.
Up to yesterday the strong man met
with success in his new field. He was
quick, willing. and his strength made
him invaluable to his employer.

came to grief. He, was standing in
the doorway Of the car hosting an
especially heavy cake. Being in a
hurry he carelessly gave the rope

inch rope severed, and the man with
the pull started precipitately for the
railroad track. He landed on a tie
and the ice followed him. AS a result
he was picked up unconscious. Mr..
Patten came to the city this morning
to buy Pinch rope in order to be
ready for Orr when he has recovered

WATCHMANFELL TODEATH
EDWARD. HAWKSLEY'S BODY:
FOUND AFTER BOY HAD
SEARCHED FOR HIM HALF THE
NIGHT,

Edward Hawksley, st. Louis Park,
night Waterman at the Minnesota Beet
Sugar refinery, st. Louis Park, was
killed last night by falling from the
second story of the refinery. His body
was found early this morning by an
a. DIT. messenger, sent from the city
to see why Hawksley did not make
his regular reports. The dead man
was about so years old and leaves a
wife and three children.
Hawksley made his regular rounds
last night and started to make his II
O'clock reports. He pulled part of
the boxes, but stopped before the
round was completed. After waiting a
reasonable time, the A. D. T. operator
dispatched a messenger to the re-
finery. The boy arrived at the fac
tory at o'clock and searched until
6 o'clock this morning, when he
awakened a man who lives near the
factory, and the two continued the
search until they found Hawksleys
dead body lying beneath a hole in the
second floor.
Coroner Williams was notified and
is investigating the death.

WOULD PUT WHEAT
PRICE UP TO Sl.2O.
AMERICAN SOCIETY OF EQUITY
AT WORK AGAIN.
"Hold-Your-Wheat" Circulars Turn
ing Up Here and the Farm
ers of the Northwest Will Soon BE
Flooded With Them May Have
Effect Of Temporary Nature at Least

The First hold-your- wheat circu-
lars Of the season turned up in Min
neapolis today. The northwest, it Is
reported, will soon be flooded with
them. The circulars are addressed to
farmersand are supposed to emanate
from the Indianapolis headquarters of
the National Union of the American
an organization which aims to regu-
late wheat prices. President j. H.
Everett, in a recent communication,
estimates the 1904 winter wheat crop
in the United States at 365,0OO, 900
bushels and the spring wheat at 21O,-
100000 bushels, a total Of STE, 900, 600
bushels. He believes that a large
quantity of low grade wheat, caused
by rust and wet weather, will have to
be deducted from this total and that
the total crop available for milling
purposes will be 55O,00O,0OO bushels
"The winter wheat crop is a short
one, and besides there is an enormous
quantity Of low grade wheat, the re-
suit of the hard, wet winter and rust"
he says. There is scarcely a section
of the winter wheat belt where the
crop has not suffered. The spring
wheat estimate may be changed de-
pending on. the weather until 1t is
entirely saved The estimate on win
ter wheat is based on extensive investi-
cation and reports from about 49, 900
farmers"
The possibility Of wheat at s1.2o is
considered highly impr obable by mem
bers of the chamber of commerce who
are familiar with the wheat situation,
but the probable bullish effect of cir
culars received by $4,000 farmers is
not disputed The result will make
for strength even if it be only Of a
TEMPORARY nature.

A THEORY SUPPORTED BY FRESH,
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE.
A Recent Instance Proves that j,
Woman's Happiness is Largely
Dependent on the State Of
Her Blood

When the blood is disordered, every
organ of the body is affected unfa-
vorably and fails to discharge its
functions properly. In the case Of
every woman, nature has made spe-
cial provision for a periodical purif1-
cation of the blood, and SO long as
this occurs, her health and spirits
unfailingly reveal the beneficial re-
suits. So slight a cause as a cold or
a. nervous shock may produce a sup
preston of this vital function. and
until it Is restored, she is doomed to
misery. The remedy that has proved
most prompt and effective in all dis
that which brought such great relief
to Miss Matte Griggs Of No. 807 In
diana street, Lawrence, Kansas, con-
corning which she speaks as follows:
I'm the winter Of 1902, from some
unknown cause, there was a cessation
of functions peculiar to my sex for a
period of four months. I became
very weak and could not get upstairs
without help I had nausea and pain

months, but he did not succeed in

me about the merits Of DR.. Williams

SPEAKER NIXON HERE
New York Assemblyman with Re

: S. F. Nixon of Chautauqua county,
New. York, the home Of the Chautau-
qua movement and Of famous vine
yards, is visiting his brother-in-law,
Colonel A. D. Reade. Mr.. Nixon came
up the lakes and arrived this morn
ing. This noon he was the guest of
honor at a small luncheon given at
the Hotel Nicollet by Mr.. Reade.
Mr.. Nixon is a recordbreaker in
a novel line. For six terms he has
been speaker of the assembly Of the
New York legislature and is candi-
date for a seventh term. Mr.. Nixon
has been elected by reclamation each
time The record seems re-
markable away from home to Mr..
Nixon, as he frequently hears Of the
circumstance, which seems remark
able in western states at least.
Of state politics, Mr.. Nixon was
wary. He admitted, on the evidence,
that he was a good republican, and,
with consistency, said that he believed
Roosevelt would carry the state. The
gubernatorial fight. will not be on for
some time, as. the conventions are not
held until September Mr.. Nixon evil

GAME LAW PENALTIES
Case Of Poole Proves Gratifying to Game
.... Commission. -"


S. F. Fullerton. executive agent of, the
state game and fish commission. expresses
himself as greatly pleased with the de-
cision of the supreme court in the Poole
case, which upholds the state game law
and the $4,000 fine imposed on Poole,
the driver found in possession of the 2, 900
ducks sent from Lakefield~ The court held
that the punishment of $40 fine for each
bird was severe, but not unreasonable,
and the fact that such a heavy fine was
possible In the case of Poole was not the
fault Of the law, but of the offender
Altho the court, held that there was
not evidence enough to connect the other
defendant, Kerr, with the possession of
the birds, Fullerton says that the prosecu-
ton will be pushed. A new trial was
granted him and 1t will be fought out.
Besides, there are other cases pending, and
the courts decision now makes it easier to
secure convictions.
