FIND BODY OF MAN
FLOATING IN RIVER
No Clue to HIS Identity Save
Papers Bearing Name
of c. e. Peters

The body of man apparently fifty
eight years old, six feet in height and
dressed in a suit of poor clothing and
dark wooden shirt, was taken from
the river under the high bridge last
evening at Z o'clock by Robert A.
Young, 436 James street. Papers bear
ing the name of G. E. Peters, found in
the pockets of the mans coat, may fur
nlsh clue to his identity, which Coro-
ner Miller had not learned last night.
The man was drowned in the river
yesterday morning about o'clock a
short distance above where his body
was recovered. He was seen to walk
to the river bank by Frank Wilson, d
small boy living on the upper levee,
who watched him kneel down to the
waters edge, stoop over and drink and
then get up and disappear in thicket
of willows overhanging the water.
When. the man walked into the will
lows the Wilson boy paid no more at
tention to him. but last evening while
bathing with other boys above the high
prldge, he recognized the body when it
was seen floating down with the cur
rent. When the body was first seen it
was thought to be log, but when it
drifted nearer the shore the boys in
the water saw it to be the corpse of "a
man and notified Young, who went
after it in boat.
The body was held until Coroner
Miller made an investigation, and it
was then removed to the county
morgue. Some papers bearing the
name Of c. f. Peters were the only clue
which an examination of the clothing
yielded. 1t is thought that he was a
stranger in ST. Paul. He was well
built, had gray eyes and brown mus
tache.
Coroner Miller said that the man had
apparently committed suicide. AS the
Wilson boy positively identified the
body as that of the man he had seen
disappear in the willows in the morn
ing, Coroner Miller believes that the
man drowned himself. The body be-
came stuck in the mud and was not
released until last night

TO BRING SETTLERS
Minnesota lmmiqrationA ssocf.
alton Elects Officers

For a long timeGit has been known
that Minnesota has not. been getting
her full share of desirable immigrants,
and in spite of the fact that there is
much land still unsettled in various
parts Of this state, no systematized eff
fort has been made to point out the
advantages of Minnesota to the immi-
grants and Eastern settlers who are
looking for homes.
With the idea of securing solid set
tiers for the state, a body known as
the Minnesota immigration society,was
formed several weeks ago and yester-
day the executive committee of that
body metS;andb elected officers and
adopted plans for the furtherance Of
the work.
The officers chosen were as follows:
President, ]. w. Willis; secretary, M. ].
Donnelly; treasurer, c. P. Slime, and
auditor w. c. Nye.
The first three named are of this city
and Mr.. Nye is of Minneapolis. The
executive committee consists of TWEEN
ty-two members and a quorum attend
ed.
The society was formed June IA at
the Peoples church and its object as
stated in the constitution is to make
known, as far rs possible, the adVan-
tages as a place of residence afforded
by this state. Any resident of the
state may become member on pay
ment of 81.
The principal business transacted
yesterday was the naming of two i'm
portant committees. The first of these
is committee to select vice presidents
of the organization. According to the
constitution there is to be one vice
president from each county In the
state.
The committee for this purpose COM
prises E. A. Jaggard, E. w. Randall
and e. H. Hebe.
The other committee was one to con-
slider ways and means of working up
the membership of the society.
A number of letters were received
from members of the committee who
were unable to attend the session.
Among these were letters from: J. G..
Lund, Minneapolis Gen. M. D. Flower,
L. F. hammers, Heron Lake; w. G.
Nye, and L. Mendenhall, of Duluth.
One thing contemplated by the mem
bers of the society of a practical char
acter is the agitation before the next
legislature for a specific fund to fur
Their the work and the appointment of
an immigration commissioner.

FINED FOR SELLING
ADULTERATED JAM
1t Was Imported and Expensive, but
Contained DeIeterious Substances

Julius Stougaard, Merriam Park
grocer, pleaded guilty to selling adul-
terated jam in the police court yester-
day and paid a fine of SIS and costs.
Complaint had been made by agents
of the state dairy and food commission
and it is said that an analysis OF Hart
ley's English InarmaIade, the article
complained of, shows it is freely adul-
terated with commercial glucose. The
dairy and food department is deter
mined to put stop to- the sale OF ex-
pensive imported articles of food that
are known to be adulterated with dele
terious substances.
In the case yesterday in the police
court the retailer is compelled to ask
25 cents for a f0-cent article because
it is imported said George L. Ding
man, assistant commissioner, and we
are trying to stop the sale of these so
called fancy groceries which contain
other things than those they are sup
posed to be made of. If any swindle is
permitted it wiH not be foreign one
for which the consumer is compelled to
paw about three times as much as d
similar domestic article brings.

MAY DOUBLE PRIZES
Minnesota Cattle Exhibitors to
Be Well Treated

meeting Of prominent cattle men
was held at the Merchants hotel yes
terday afternoon to decide the method
of distributing the $4,000 set aside to
the state worlds fair committee on live
stock awards. ]. j. Furlong, president
of the Minnesota Live Stock Breeders
association, presided at the meeting,
and about twenty well known live stock
men were present.
The committee decided to duplicate
the prizes awarded at the worlds fair
to Minnesota live stock, if the $4,0 900
were sufficient to cover the amount
awarded. In case the $4,000 is not suf-
fc1ent to cover that plan to pro rate it
among the winners at ST. Louis.
The object of hanging UP the atidi-
tlonal money by the worlds fair COM
pany is to insure the very best kind of
an exhibit in the live stock line, for in
case an owner takes prize at the
worlds fair he will be practically Ger
tain of receiving double the amount of
the award.
Of course, if Minnesota cattle capture
very many first prizes at the big fair,
the additional award will not amount
to double the figure of the prizes But
in any event. the owner will receive a
substantial bonus if his cattle are pick
ed as winners.
The horse show at the fair will take
place in August and the cattle. sheep
and swine exhibition in October.
In speaking of the coming Minnesota
state fair Mr.. Furlong said that he
thought the show this year would ex-
coed in size and quality any state fair
that has ever been held in this coun-
try

says:
The circuit court has jurisdiction

Toxic, March IA supplementary
report from Vice Admiral Togo. con-
corning the effort made by the crews
of the Japanese torpedo boat destroy
ers in action off Port Arthur on the
10th instant, to rescue the crews OF
the disabled Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyers, reached here today.
Captain Shojiro Asai, commanding
the flotilla of torpedo boat destroyers,
states that the Japanese would have
been able to rescue many more of
the enemy but for the deadly fire of
the shore batteries and the close ap-
proach of the Russian cruiser NovfK.
The report also explains that four
men rescued were not part Of the
crew of the Stereguschtchi as origi-
nally reported.
When the Japanese rescuers reach

remained ON board, and it is believed
the living members of the crew jump

New York, March 14.-Employment
of the torch and the bullet by the
negro to defend his rights and to stop
the lynching of blacks by white men
has been openly recommended in .
sermon by Rev. F. M. Jacobs, In an
African Methodist Episcopal church OF
Brooklyn.
He said the negroes of Springfield,

ed sensation.
You should contend unto death
for your rights asserted the Rev.
Jacobs. mo race has ever won
anything without the shedding OF
blood
IF wars are good for nations, they
are good for races. Bishop Brown,
of the Methodist Episcopal church, says,
that race war is inevitable in this
country and the negro will be exter-i
minated. This is not true, for the
negro Is no coward, he will feh,

but we have been praying and pray
Ing, and now is the time for the me-
gro to assert his manhood
THE day is coming, the hour is
approaching, when this must be done,
for no race under the sun ever got
its liberty without fighting for 1t.
There must be some sacrifice Of
life, If need be, to obtain the lsber'
ties of people. 6
Many Of our lives are to be sac

urged their auditors to so conduct
themselves as to win friends for their
