AFTER LEADERSHIP
St. Paul Men Would Head State.
Federation of Labor.

The st. Paul Trades and Labor as
sembly Will put up two candidates for
president Of the Minnesota State Fed
Grafton of Labor at the twenty second
annual convention of the federation,
Which will be held at New Ulm, Jan.
IL, IA and is. The local aspirants are
@. e. James, former president Of the
ST. Paul assembly, and A. H Garfield,
state organizer of the American Feds
GRAFTON of labor and vice president Of
the st. Paul assembly. Il.
With view to electing one Of the,
st. Paul men the local Unions will
this year send larger number of dele-{
gates to the convention than they have
ever sent before to a state gathering;
In former years the largest number Of
representatives sent from st. Paul has
been forty, and this year over sixty
will be sent.
w. e. Neary, Of Minneapolis, who has
been president for several years, is UNI
derstood to be candidate for lre-elec-i
ton, but the local labor men claim
that they should be given the honor OF
having one Of their own men at the
head of the state federation this year.
w. E. McEwen, of Duluth, the press
ent secretary Of the state federation,
will be candidate for reelection, and
no opposition to him has appeared az
yet. Cornelius Quincy, editor Of the
Minnesota Labor Union Advocate, will
ask to have that publication continued
as the official organ Of the state fed
eration.

FIRST SMALLPOX DEATH
SINCE JULY OF 1903
Return of Lumberiacks VIII Provide
More Work for Health inspectors.

The first death from smallpox in ST.
Paul since last July occurred yesterday
at the Dale street infirmary, the vic
tim being d. M. Moore, thirty-one
years old, who lived at 139 Granite
street. and who was removed to the
infirmary April q. A death from what
was thought to have been smallpox &C.
Cured at the city hospital last week.
but the physicians declare that the dis
ease was found to be scarlet fever.
There are eleven cases at the infirnn-
airy at present. One patient was re-
moved to the hospital yesterday morn
ing. He was Samuel Fletcher, 245
Sherman street, who came from Fargo
two weeks ago.
"The return of lumberjacks from
the northern pine woods is largely re-
sponsible for the increase of smallpox
when the weather becomes warm each
year." said physician yesterday.
They become infected with disease
germs in the logging camps where
sanitary conditions are poor at best,
and in returning to the cities expose
everyone with whom they come into
contact. There was a smallpox scare
last year about this time, and 1t is
possible that there will be an increase
in this city as a result of the cases
that have already been placed Ia quar-
antine"

HUMANE SOCIETY
WILL PROTECT BIRDS
Agent Moak Is Ordered to Prosecute
Boys Who Use Sling Shots.

Small boys with sling shots had bet
ter not attempt to destroy birds this
year, the Humane society having de-
cided to take vigorous measures to
prevent the destruction of the feather
ed songsters. The first step taken by
the society has been the posting of
signs, warning boys to desist from
harming the birds. Humane Agent
Moak was instructed at the monthly
meeting of the society yesterday to
keep a watch for boys shooting or
otherwise inJuring birds, and the police
will be asked to assist him.
The monthly report of the Humane
society showed that 1T cases were at
tended to during April. A number Of
those were neglected and abused chill
dren which were taken care of. One
abandoned child was placed in the
Children's home, and one runaway boy
was located and restored to his parents.
At the stock yards forty crippled ami
mails were ordered killed, fifteen were
fed and watered, and men were warned
for cruelty and neglect of stock Nine
horses overloaded and whipped were
relieved, three were laid off, two order
ed to veterinary, two past work were
shot, homes were found for two dogs
and eighteen small animals were hui
namely destroyed.

SUNBEAM BAND GIVES
SEEDS TO CHILDREN
I've Hundred Little Tots Are
Supplied From Capitol
Steps.

At least count-though there was no
way of counting them, for they refused
to stand still long enough to be emu
merated-there were 200 little BOYS and
girls gathered at the east approach to
the state capitol yesterday afternoon.
They had braved the lowering skies
and a drenching to meet Mrs Arthur
E. Clark, of the Sunbeam band, and
leave their names and addresses for
shrubs and little trees, while many of
them received packages of flower and
vegetable seeds
The distribution of trees will prob
ably be made next Saturday at the
same place, and certainly not later than
May 20, provided it is found that the
boys and girls have suitable grounds
in which to plant them. The young
trees which will be given to the chill
dren to plant and care for include
apple, plum, cherry, maple and ash, and
the shrubs are currant, gooseberry,
spirea, hydrangea, lilac, snow
ball and rose bushes. Local horticul-
turists have made prices on the trees
far below the usual Many of the
trees are two years old, and with prop
er care will assist in identifying homes
and the city at large. The seeds dis
tributed yesterday to the little people
were sold at penny package, and
were such seeds as sell in the market
from to 20 cents.
1--WE have not given up hope" said
Mrs. Clark, "of securing that small ap-
preparation of $500 granted us by the
council. We need place of meeting
very badly, for thus far our meetings
have been held in the open air. The
Sunbeam band is a worthy institution
and the money will be well spent"

IN AN OLD TRUNK.
Baby Finds Bottle of carbolic Acid
and Drinks II.

While the mother was unpacking an
old trunk little eighteen months-old
baby got hold of a bottle Of carbolic
acid while playing on the floor. and his
stomach was so badly burned 1t was
feared he would not live, for he could
not eat ordinary foods. The mother
says in telling Of the case:
ut was all two doctors could do to
save him, as it burnt his throat and
stomach so bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing would
lay on his stomach. Finally took him
into the country and tried new milk,
and that was no better for him. His
grandma finally suggested Grape
Nuts, and 1 am thankful adopted the
food, for he commenced to get better
right away and would not eat any
thing else. He commenced to get
feshy and his cheeks like red roses.
and now he is entirely well.
Il took him to Matamoras on a visit
and every place we went to stay to eat
he called for Grape-Nuts, and / would
have TO explain how he came to call
for 1t, as it was his main food.
1.-THE names of the physicians who
attended the baby are Dr. Eddy. OF this
town, and DR.. George Gale, Of New
port, Ohio. and anyone can write to me
or to them and learn what Grape
Nuts food will do for children, and
grown-ups. too" Name given by

WOULD HAVE GERBER
TRY STATE POLITICS
ST. Paul Is Asked to Try for
Nomination for State
Treasurer.

The latest move on the Republican
checkerboard is an effort by one faction
in the state gubernatorial game to
bring out st. Paul man for the nomi-
nation for state treasurer.
William A. Gerber, who ran on the
Republican city ticket for city comp
troller, is said to be the beneficiary
of the latest plan to complicate the
Ramsey county situation in the con-
test raging in the Republican party
for governor
Overtures were made to Gerber some
days since to bring him out as a can
didate for the place now held by julius
II. Block, of st. Peter, and Friday night
a conference of his friends and those
of Judge Collins were held in a down
town office building. The situation was
canyassed quite thoroughly and the
effort was made to show Gerber where
it would be to his advantage to try for
the nomination for state treasurer.
He has given no decisive answer as
yet to the men who are trying to OBJ

strength. In many quarters the scheme
to put him in the race is regarded as
entirely selfish, and a man close to
the Republican politicians said yester-
day in speaking of the quasi Gerber
candidacy:
1.-THE men who are urging Gerber to
become a candidate for state office
have no idea that he can win. He
would be simply tool to further their
own interests. Block, Schwarg and
Vogel are already. in the field for the
nomination for state treasurer, and

of candidates would be simply to d.

Gerber was member of the Re-
publican city committee that so badly
managed Col Wright's mayoralty cam

the worst defeat ever given a Repub-
lican candidate for mayor Of St. Paul.
His friends are largely with this ele-
