"A RED HOT AMATEUR MINSTREL,
SHOW is PULLED OFF WITH
GREAT ECLAT. 49,. ...

Robbinsdale had minstrel show
last night and good people of that
little village by Crystal Lake gathered
in Woodn1an hall and had commissions
over the merry quips and jests.
A row of prominent citizens attired
in conventional minstrel costume and
with faces duly BACKED, served to set
Off the remarkable magnificence.
willie N. Brown. attired in full dress
and Whiskers, accepting in true inter-
locutor form the various jokes Of
which he was made the butt.
The end men gagged" the tenor
and basso sang, the orchestra played
and the colored jokers took such lib
critics with private affairs of friends
in the audience as is only permitted in
village communities, where people live
rar enough apart to get together.
'Wallie" Johnston wanted to know
why Burt" Rolf, then village grocer,
volunteered the information that it
was to "say Grace" William Grinnel
told an exceedingly fishy story Of
catching a whale in the depths Of
Crystal lake, and of finding in the
monsters interior Tom Girling,
Arthur L. Jones, and A. l.. Sorter, try
ing to sell Robbinsdale lots to an inno-
cent stranger.
Willie Grinnell, upon being in
formed by Mr.. Brown that nature can
do anything to remedy human ills or
defects insisted that there was one
thing which nature could not do, and
that was to widen Gus Urban's
mouth, without removing his ears.
Messrs. Girling, Jones and Sorter
occupied front seats as the "anvil
chorus" and spent theevening knock
ing the show and presenting vegeta-
BILE bouquets, and altogether the event
was one to go down in the history Of
the village.

I'm my day. navy men the world over
didn't think very much of the Rus
slams as fighting lot. They were big,
quarrelsome fellows, always lighting
among themselves or cleaning out a
port when they got shore leave. It
was the Russian custom to let them
go ashore in punches Of fifteen or
twenty, probably make a show, while
we were In luck TO get ashore In tWOS
and threes, and petty officers like I
was could hardly get ashore at all.
but the Russians would no sooner
get loose than they would be fighting
either among themselves or with some
natives and they were fierce fighters.
They'd bite, kick, claw, gouge and go
after ech other like beasts until an
officer came along with a whip and he
would jump in and lay right and left,
just as if they were a pack of dogs.
That's the only thing I ever saw that
would stop them and all the officers
carried whips. That's the way the
Russians were trained when I knew
them and all navy men and all port
people hated to see them show up.
I'm the Russian army it was the
same way, especially with the cos
sacks. A whip behind and the enemy
in front. I think you will find that
the Japs jump into the fight and are
not driven.
IF Great Britain gets mixed up in

age of LAS feet on Chicago avenue, 143
feet on Eighth avenue and seventy
six feet on Ninth street. The board is
not in position to accept the offer at
this time as the building will cost at
least $4,000" and maintenance will
cost $4,000 per year, beside the ex-
pense of heating plant.
The board would prefer to gain con-
troll of the poor farm for which the
city pays nine-tenths of the expense,
without having a voice in the manage
ment. If the city operated the farm, 1T
could erect homes for various incura-
blecases. The proposition of DR..
Henry S. Nelson to erect cottages at
the workhouse is also feasible. No
action was taken yesterday aside from
acknowledging the generous offer and
replying that the board was not in
position to take advantage of it.

TAYLOR IS In YUCATAN
MRS. FORD, WITH WHOM HE
FLED, GROWS HOMESICK AND
RETURNS TO MINNEAPOLIS.

Clarence Taylor, who left Mime
apolis under peculiar circumstances,
after running his credit to the limit,
is now in Yucatan, Central America,
according to Mrs. Grace Ford, the
woman with whom he left the city.
Mrs. Ford says she became
homesick and left Taylor in Yu-
catan; in fact, she ran away from
him. only leaving him a note saying
she had gone. He was unable to fol-
low and telegraphed to her, telling her
to be careful. She says he will prob
ably go to South Africa in few weeks.
Taylor is heart-broken over his es-
capade, according to her story, is in
a desperate frame of mind and should
have some one with him.
From Minneapolis the couple went
to the City of Mexico, and from there
to Vera Cruz, where they took boat
for Yucatan. %
Mrs. Ford did not know that Tay-
lor had borrowed SO much money I'M
til a friend told her, on her way to
Minneapolis. She regrets that she
went away with him and is willing to
meet his father and tell him every
thing she knows about Clarence.

He Insists That spitters Aren't Ignored
in ST. Paul.
The jovial health officer Of st. Paul, Dr..
Justus Ohage. sent a spirited denial Of
the reported st. Paul !eniency towards
expectorators in a letter read yesterday
at the Minneapolis Improvement league.
He claimed that they were dealt with
more vigorously in the SANITY city than
in it's neighbor, if detected being required
ito wipe up the sidewalk before being
taken into custody by the officer. DR..
Ohage asked the cooperation of the Min
neapolis league in fighting the smoke
nuisance, on the ground that St. Paul
residents convicted Of violating the city
ordinance threaten to move to Mime
apolis and the health officer scents danger
of a serious exodus.
Means for enlarging the membership of
the league were discussed 1t was pro-
posed to make the husbands Of members
most Of whom are women, honorary mem
bers on the basis of their wives mem
bersh1p fee, but the plan received no seri-
GUS consideration. An evening meeting
with a special program was suggested,
and Mrs. Loring offered her home for
such a meeting.
The limiting Of the school Fairgrounds
by the decoration of the grounds was de-
plored by G. M. Loring, who also spoke
of the aggressive work Of the bill pos
tiers in making use Of the telegraph and
telephone poles
The determination Of the educational
committee to promulgate the laws thru
out the state regarding the sale of cigar
cites and cigars to minors received the in
dorsement of the league.

II have long since passed through what

gradually taught me which the reliable
few were. Since the epidemic Of Ia grippe
of 1860 1 have used invariably in the treat
ment of la grippe, Peruna. This remedy
so exactly meets all the symptoms of la
grippe that it is folly to lose any time in
experimenting with other remedies

ERICKSON'S HARD LUCK
Needs a Witness Very Badly and Doe 5
 not Know Where He Is.

Charles Erickson, who was brought back from Tucson Saturday morning with Frank Davidson, charged with compliCity in the theft of Mrs. Lund' $ jewelry. was released on bond furnish ed by friends who have known him | long time and believe he is innocent Of any wrong doing. Yesterday he was busily engaged in pulling together ma terial for defense, but he has thus far been unable to locate one man who can be of great service to him if he will come forward and tell what he knows.
 Erickson certainly has the appear ance Of an honest man and bears T good renutation in the Glendale coun- try where he is best known. He de- clares that he had absolutely no knowledge of the theft of the jewelry, although it vas found in his trunk at Tucson. He s5ys that after. arranging with Davidson to go with him. ne had his trunk brought in from Glendale b.. a freighter and unloaded at the Mari copa depot on the platform north oe the building and between the waiting room and baggage room. Later in the day Davidson arrived at the depot, having arranged to put a roll of his effects in Erickson's trunk The trunk was opened on the platform and David son placed the roll in it. Erickson suggested to him that he open it up IS the trunk was already quite full and

he thought by, spreading Davidson's effects around little the contents of the trunk would ride better. BIt Davidson insisted that everything was all right and showed the roll down ut one end Of the trunk so ib could he locked again. Erickson says that wh.; .;c this was going on there was a stranger standing nearby that saw the proc z,-l- ing and heard the conversation. He would like very much to find tbs m1r now for witness. but he doas net know hi- name or where to look fo~ him. He is a man of slim build, dark complexion and a little above tke average man in height. Whoever He is, if he learns of this incident he should come forward and volunteer his information in the matter as 1t may he a matter of great kindness to m in- .nocent man who is just now charged with complicity in a serious onense. the charge being based on very damaging circumstantial evidence. Tho eXemina- tion of Erickson and Davidson is set for o'clocl: Tuesday in Justice Bur .nett's court ana if the man referred to above shall make his presence felt-at that time he may do a good turn ip the cause Of justice. In the meantime efforts in other directions are being put forth, to discover things that Davidson may have done in the days immediately preceding his departure in the hope that more light may be thrown Jn tho case.
 Erickson talks freely about his own actions and is apparently trying to con .ceal nothing, admitting freely that ne is in very much the same delicate posi- tion as old dog Tray, more O. less known to fame
