Aunt Jane tied an Old green barege veil
round her head and lay despairingly
down upon thu. lounge with her smell
ing salts.
She took heart of grace, however, for
she still believed little in her bargain,
and begged her aunt to let her display
one of the parasols-only one-in the
shop window. Aunt Jane said she
should expect to be sent to the insane
asylum, having parasol in ner shop
window in December, but she was so
discouraged that she did not care.
The parasol had been in the window
only an hour or two when Aunt Jane
was thrown into a hutter by the sight
OF very stylish young woman cross
ing the street.

clared. Il heard the family had come,

a. Judy passed it across the counter.
Judy was glad Aunt Jane had left tho

I'VE ought to have decorations like
this for the girls to carry in the min

bad we didn't think of it,"

rushed to Judy's temples and her heart
thumped as she drew from the packing
case under the counter, one after an
other, the parasols she had thought she
would never care to look at again.
"They'd be lovely for favors, Aft"
murmured Betty, admiringly. "And to
give the girls who take part in the tab
leaux."
"Seven dollars-wh-e-w!" The young
man had seen the price marked on the
"old rose'' parasol. Discount for the
lot, suppose?' he added to Judy.
Judy made figures on piece of pa
per, knitting her brows; she was try
ing to calculate how much profit her
conscience would allow her to take.
Aunt Jane, so carried away by excite
ment as to peep through a crack, re-
garded her hesitation as business diplo-
macy.
Judy still reckoned with an anxious
brow, divided between her desire to

"They were bought at a bargain -
she said at last, in faint, but firm,
voice. Il can sell you the whole for

The bargain was very soon conclud-
ed, and then Miss Betty was suddenly
seized with curiosity. 1T doesn't seem
like Miss Pringle to keep parasols, "
she said looking around.
Judy told her customer that she had
purchased them, and being drawn out
of herself perhaps by the excitement of
good fortune, told her how she wanted
to help them all at home. Miss Betty
was very kind and sympathetic, and be-
to her house to the minstrel show on
Christmas night, and bring her aunt.

They went to the entertainment and

sought Judy in an interval between the
performances. She said she had been

about wanting to be good for some.

home, and she thought she knew OF
something that would be profitable
and would not interfere with the shop
keeping. Her father was a manufac.
turer Of toys, and from his establish
ment work was given out; work that
required only taste and a little knack
at sewing-the covering Of the dolls
parasols and canopies for dolls car
riages and the dressing of dolls.
It was profitable work, and if Judy
would like to try, Miss Betty thought
she could manage to get her the oppor-
tunity.
II she would like it! Judy sWal-
lowed what seemed to be whole

SEVENTH MAN In RACE
FUNK AND HELSELL WILL CUT
INTO VOTING STRENGTH OF
THOMAS IN ELEVENTH IOWA
DISTRICT.

Special to Tho Journal
Sioux City, Iowa, March 19.-Dick-
inson county people say they will pre-
sent the name of A. B. Funk Of Spirit
Lake for congressman, and it is as
serted by his friends that he will con-
sent to become a candidate.
The addition of Mr.. Funk, L. A.
Helsell Of Odeholt and E. l.. Hogue Of
Blencoe will give votes to seven candi-
dates in the congressional convention.
This has upset all calculations upon
the outcome. The candidates. Of
Helsell and Funk take support from
Congressman Lot Thomas and will
consequently lessen his chances.
The convention will be held at
Cherokee May 4, according to a de-
cision of the congressional committee.
Friends Of J. U. Sammis Of LeMars,
internal revenue collector, say they
have assurances from Washington
that nothing further will be heard Of
the charges of misconduct in office
preferred against him. It is the ex-
pectation that Mr.. Sammis will be al
lowed to serve out his term undis-
turbed Several men in Iowa would
like to fill Sammis' shoes and A. A.
Smith of Storm Lake has even begun
campaign for the place.

WHEAT DROPS
THEN RECEIVERS
CLOSING PRICE HALF CENT
HIGHER THAN YESTERDAY.
Bears Force May Down Cents to
8SNsc, but the Bulls Quickly Send
Price Up Again to 95s4c - Sully's
Failure Affects the Market.

May wheat fell to 93h cents this
morning on a straight drop. This
was almost cents under yesterdays
close, and cents down since Tuesday.
stop loss orders were reached with
much excitement ruling and long
wheat was sold out. The moment the
hurry was over the bulls in the local
pit took hold again and soon had Min
neapolls May back up IN cents to
95A cents. It was bull victory at
the close, with May II cent over yes
terday.
AS the market now stands, there are
many little shorts, and the bulls hope
to drive them in later.
The big smash in cotton, that put
Sully out Of the running, had effect.
1t Is denied that Sully himself held
any wheat in Chicago or in New York,
and he certainly had none here.
Nevertheless, his failure unsettled all
speculative markets temporarily, as
he was great bull leader, a member
of many leading exchanges, and his
firm did business in cotton, coffee,
stocks and wheat. The stock market
was not seriously affected, but in
wheat the selling, incident to the
failure, gave the bears an opening,
and they piled upon the market In
left.
When the low figure was reached
here, prices were on such basis as to
make export business possible, and
Duluth worked a little wheat to 60
abroad, while New York had some
business. This foreign inquiry makes
the bulls think prices will react, but
the bears are just as confident they
will yet put the market lower.

COTTON GOODS WILL HOLD
PRICES WON'T BREAK WITH COT
TON PRICES, SAY WHOLESALE
ERs-PRODUCTION HAS BEEN
CENTRALIZED.

The big break in the cotton market
of New York will have no immediate
effect on prices Of cotton goods in
this territory, but the conditions in
the manufacturing district are such
that there will be cotton goods
famine all over the country next fall,
SO say wholesalers. Both Frank p.
Hopwood and John A. Harris, buyers
for Wyman, Partridge & Co.. say that
the law of supply and demand will
prevent the New York prices from go
ing below 121s cents.
Eastern mills in most cases refused
to make up goods as long as they were
compelled to buy cotton at fifteen
cents or some figure around that, says
a Chicago travelling man. The result
will be that next year there will be
a great scarcity of all sorts Of cotton
goods. Now some of the New York
houses are refusing to sell any more
cotton goods and are recalling their
road men. -
The burden Of the recent high prices
seems to have fallen on the retailers.
Prices among the wholesalers have
gone up this spring, but the retailers
have not been in a position to increase
their selling prices.

GERMS IN WATER FEW
HEALTH COMMISSIONER HALL
THEREFORE, ASKS PHYSICIANS
WHY CITY WATER ISN'T SAFE.

'"There is no law to prevent men

Minneapolis city water is not safe
now and cannot be made safe" said
Health Commissioner P. M. Hall this
morning. 1--WE have no other way of
determining whether water is safe but
by archaeological and chemical exam

far safer than the average well water.

Chemical analyses of samples of
city water taken from seven school
houses in this city show that the

then in view of the excellent results
from chemical and archaeological
tests is not the water safe?"

POWERS PROTESTS
ON PAYERS CINCH.
CHARGES THAT CREOSOTED-
WOOD, MEN SEEK MONOPOLY.
Aldermen Refer His Suggested Speci-
fications to Paving Committee-Or-
dinance Prohibiting Free Lunch In
Saloons Passed Without Opposition
"A Municipal Lighting Plant Plan.

Alderman Fred M. Powers put the
local creosoted-wood paving concern
on the rack again last evening, but
his remarks were impersonal and no
one felt called upon to defend his
honor or the paving company. Mr..
Powers commended that the specifica-
tons for creosoted-wood paving were
so drawn as to give the local company
a monopoly. He then produced the
specifications used in New York and
Chicago and sought to show by COM
parlson that inferior work was pos
sible under the Minneapolis specifi-
cations.
He attacked the manner in which
the local company creosoted it's paw
ing blocks and declared that the blocks
were not as thOrOly saturated as they
should be. Last summer he had per-
sonally opened several blocks and the
saturation did not extend more than
half an inch below the surface.
The aldermen realized that Mr..
Powers was now talking business, and
referred the specifications to the paw
ing committee.
The two democratic aldermen from
the eleventh ward made a fight for
some paving on Eleventh avenue S,
but it was decided that they had moth
ing coming and the report of the paw
ing committee was adopted.
Free Lunches Banned.
The ordinance prohibiting the serv-
ing OF free lunch in saloons was passed
without opposition. It will go into ef-
feet some time next week.
A resolution by Alderman Powers
to provide for the issuance of bonds
to the amount of 100000 to establish
municipal lighting plant was re.
ferred to special committee consist
ing Of one alderman from each ward
as follows: Powers, chairman, Ger
Der, Lane, Nye, Merrill, Holmes, N
]. Nelson, McLaskey, Larson. Dwyer
Peter Nelson, A. S. Adams and Schoon-
maker.
Proests against the repeal of the
curfew ordinance were received from
the w. G. T. U. and referred to the
committee having the matter ir
charge.
Alderman Westphal presented a res
olution to prohibit any further appro.
priations for the twin city display al

Death of Mrs. w. w. Huntington
Takes Away Friend of Many.

March II Mrs. Laura A. Hunting
ton, wife of w. w. Huntington of this
city died at Rogers, Ark, after an ILL
ness of one week. The news came as
as her health, long delicate, had Of
late seemed greatly improved. Mr..
and Mrs. Huntington were spending
the winter in the south. The remains
were brought here for interment at
Lakewood, and the funeral was held
last Tuesday at the residence of A. F.
Gale.
Altho physical weakness in recent
years forbade the activities in social
and benevolent circles which were
formerly a large part Of her life, Mrs
Huntington was widely beloved, and
the charm Of her bright and gracious
presence will be sadly missed. AL
ways thoughtful and considerate of
others, even when herself suffering,
she radiated a love, a sympathy and a
sweetness which were an inspiration
to those with whom she came in con-
tact. Her life was filled with quiet
kindnesses, and of her it may truly be
said that she knew how to bestow the
gift which is blest by the giving. One
of her greatest pleasures was the fire.
quent hospitality Of her beautiful Min
netOnl1a home, extended to those who
could seldom enjoy the luxury Of the
lake. .....
In no sense a new woman she yet
possessed a strong personality uniting
clear judgment and wise counsel with
a gracious tact and a ready sympathy.
Mrs. Huntington was born in Kala-
mazoo, Mich, in 1S41, and married to
Mr.. Huntington in 1865. In 1857 they
made Minneapolis their home, and for
thirty-seven years have been closely

"VAGS" ARE NUMEROUS
Eleven Arraigned This Morning.
Eight Plead Guilty.

Not since 1880 has Minneapolis been
so overrun with Migrants at this time
of the year, and the largest bunch of
arraignments since that time was
made in police court this morning
Eleven men appeared before Judge
Dickinson and all but three pleaded
guilty. They were all able-bodied
men, but the police say they have all
refused work.
One of the men. George Williams,
colored, was suspected of stealing $65
from a woodsman, but sufficient evil
dence could not be secured to con-
Wet of petty larceny and his case was
continued.
Complaints are made of an epidemic
of begging. Saloonkeepers say that
they are feeding these men at the free
lunch counters. On these complaints
the police started a general roundup
of "vags" last night and will keep it
up until conditions are improved.

LADIES WONDER WHY
They Find Spring Water Used in the
Health Department.


If reservoir water is pure, why
shouldn't Minneapolis health officers
drink it?
Since the. Improvement league COM
mittee began it's agitation for pure
water for Minneapolis, the ladies have
run up against the statement by the
health commissioner that under pres
ent conditions he considered the reser-
voir water safe. The ladies have
looked farther into the future, how
ever, and have been working with the
idea that a reform from the present
agitation should be realized before
conditions change for the worse.
A committee of the league visited
the city hall yesterday and looked over
the city's spring water account. One
item for the month read:
Health department, spring wa
ter. ST.
Later one Of the ladies called up
the water company and learned that
the health department had been sup
piled with spring water for at least
eight years.
In the city engineers office the Ia
dies found nearer approach to con-
sistency, as city water is used for
drinking there; but it is filtered.
