RlNEHART ASKS INQUIRY
MEMBER OF CHARITIES BOARD
WANTS TO KNOW. ABOUT CARE
OF HOSPITAL PATIENTS vALU-
& ABLES

Commissioner Orvill- Rinehart wants
to Investigate the methods of caring
for the personal property of the pa
tients at the city hospital. At the
meeting of the board Of charities and
corrections yesterday afternoon, he
cited the case of Michael Kennedy
who says that he had $65 when he en-
tered the city hospital two months
ago. His expenses were $40, but on
his discharge he received only IS. The
money Is said to have been turned
over to Floyd Reeves, who resigned
his position a short: time ago and en-
listed in the army. A full investiga-
ton will be made.
The board decided to purchase
seven lots adjoining the workhouse
quarry which has run out of stone.
These will cost $3,,700.
Superintendent F. r.. Mcdonald of
the wOrkhOuse reported that the total
number of prisoners for the year 1 9O3
had been 2,250, which was the largest
record by 245. Altho $1,000 had been
spent in improvements, the expense
for the year had been only $40 greater
than for 1902.
superintendent William, Barton of
the poor department reported that
3,246 persons had beerM given assist
ance as compared with 1915 for 1902.
The number Of families aided was 781.
The reduction shown by these figures
was due to the greater care in exam
lining the applications.

MAY GIVE UP EAST. PARK
LACK OF INTEREST INCLINES
SEVERAL PARK, BOARD MEM
COMMITTEE MEETING.

Three park propositions will be
thoroly discussed by the park board
committees son finance and designa-
ton Of grounds tomorrow afternoon
It is expected that decisive action will
be taken and that this fate Of the Min
nehaha, East Side and eighth ward
park plans will be determined.
There is a disposition, on the part
of some members to drop the East
Side park proposition, because Of lack
Of interest. The park commissioners
now hear little or nothing about the
park, and do not feel like crowding
an unwelcome expense Of nearly $780,
900 on the taxpayers Of the East Side.
It is out of the question for the board
to purchase the lands out Of the gen
eral fund, and without assurance
from interested property owners, tn .
project is in danger of being aban
doned.
The question of finances is seriou
one even for the smaller park plans
such as the eighth ward and Mime
haha projects. The firmer will cos
nearly $4,000 and the latter abou
$4,000. The money will be raised b.
special assessments, but the board
will be in a predicament if the owners
Of the land insist on cash, as most OF
them do.

STOMACH TROUBLE.

Stomach trouble is the most distressing
affection known to humanity, and takes
on so many forms that it is often i1npos-
Sible for those without medical educa-
ton to decide from patients symptoms
as to just what particular ailment is
affecting them. People suffering from
this dread disease become nervous and
cannot sleep. They have belching and
sourness of the stomach, bad dreams,
acute stomach pains, or collie, a feeling
of fullness after meals, appetites varying
from ravenous to that where there is no
desire for food.
They have indigestion, constipation,
heartburn, yellow skin, coated tongue,
bad taste in the mouth, liver trouble, and
catarrh of the stomach.
Now all these symptoms mean simply
that the stomach has grown weak, and is
not properly digesting the food given it..
The intensity of action in modern life,
the nervous strain in business and So
clety, and the improper mastication of
the food all contribute their share
towards bringing about this condition.
Many preparations have been offered
TO the public for the relief of those suf-
fering from stomach trouble which aid
temporarily only, for after little the
patient feels worse than before treatment.
Within the last six months, however,
there has been perfected remedy for ali
these ailments, which absolutely reaches
the seat of disease and positively cures
, any and all troubles of the stomach,
bowels, lungs and throat.
1t relieves Inflammation, builds up the
system, enriches the blood, strengthens
the various organs of the body, and is
guaranteed not only to give immediate
relief, but effect a permanent cure. This
remedy is known as Milks' Emulsion, and
Is wonderfully beneficial to children as
well as adults. It's effect on the sick is
immediate, and one bottle will give sat-
isfactory results or your money will be
per bottle. Manufactured by The Milks'
Emulsion Company, Terre Haute, Ind.

BACILLI ARE
HARD TO CATCH 4. /
INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS RE-
PORTED IN DIR. CORBETTs AN
NUAL. ..
In Tubercular Ward Where All Pos
sible Precautions Had Been Taken.
He Found Dozens of the Deadly
Bacilli in the Air.

One of the most valuable of the an
nual reports of the city officials is
that of DR.. j. Frank Corbett, city bac-
teriologist. He devotes particular at
tention to tuberculosis, but consid-
cred wholly from the standpoint of a
pacteriologist. No one after reading
this report will be likely to rail against
the antispitting crusade as a fad
brought on by over fastidious people.
To convince himself that the bacilli
were IN the air even where precautions
were taken, DR.. Corbett exposed for
twelve hours in a hospital ward de-
voted to tuberculous patients piece of
gauze 10x12 inches. On the gauze he
afterward found 100 tubercle bacilli
and this; in a place where the most
complete precautions against the
spread of the disease were taken.
To show that tuberculosis is much
more general than most people are
aware, DR.. Corbet quotes literally
from the most eminent authorities.
One student, after taking part in hun
dreds Of postmortem examinations.
found tubercular LESSONS in so
per cent. This was in New York, but
DR.. Corbett is inclined to believe that
this percentage is not peculiar to the
metropolis.
DR.. Corbett does not believe that
consumption is inherited either by
human beings or by cattle and here
again calls on the authorities to sub
stantiate his belief. Practically every
case, in his opinion, is due to causes
which are preventable.

| had no intimation of approaching
death, altho he remarked last night
that he was having the hardest pull of
his life. A similar illness last winter
had weakened his constitution ma
ter1ally.
Plymouth church, and the funeral will
be conducted by the pastor, Rev. DR..
l.. H. Hallock
The funeral will take place from Mr..
Ladd's late residence Thursday at
2:30 p. m. The interment will be at
Lakewood cemetery.
Sketch of MIR. Ladd's Life
III. E. Ladd was born Dec. II. 1S47, at
Salem, ~ H. He was the only son of
Perley M. Ladd, a carpenter. In 1857 the
family moved to IIaverhill Mass, and re-
manned nineteen years. Then move was
made ! to Minneapolis for the benefit Of
Henry's health. Permanent residence was
taken here in 1857.
The father and son had been in the
grocery business in the east, but on ar
rival here did not go into the mercantile
business at once. The boy for a few
months assisted Albert Lawrence in TAX
ing tolls at the suspension bridge, and
for six months worked in the Jacoby pho
tograph gallery. -
The next venture of the young man was
fruit and candy store, which he con-
took as his wife Miss Anna NJ Hagar at
Lawrence, Mass. He remained east for d
year and made another visit the follow
ing year for the Centennial at Phila-
delphia.
The confectionery business claimed his
attention again in 1877 in Minneapolis.
Later he sold out and went to California,
where he passed the winter In 1880 he
began real estate business in Mime
apol1s. Five years later the firm became
Ladd & Nickels, and so continued until
MIR. Ladd took an office for himself in
the AAndrus building, four years ago.
Mr.. Ladd handled a good many proper
ties of old established families in Mime
apol1s and negotiated several of the re-
cent important deals on Nicollet avenue,
Recently he had been engaged in securing
a site for the new Criterion Theater COM
pany.
His Faith In Minneapolis.
Altho his business was mainly for other
people, Mr.. Ladd had sufficient faith in
Minneapolis to invest heavily in real es-
tate: 1t is estimated that his property
holdings in Minneapolis are worth $500, 900,
while his personal property will bring the
total considerably higher Among the
leading investments are the business cor
ner of Tenth and Nicollet; the residences
and property on Eighth street back. of
Plymouth church, and the homestead on
Oak Grove street.
Mr.. Ladd was an enthusiastic traveller.
Six years ago he made a trip thru northern
Europe and the British Isles Two years
later he took the Mediterranean trip with
his wife, and was on board the steamer
New England, but escaped the scourge of
smallpox. .I

APRIL DIVIDEND
ON 500 STOCK
EXPECTATION OF ONE CAUSES
RISE IN COMMON.
Basis of Expectation Found III Re-
lnarkable Rally from Traffic Slump
of October and November Anleli-
can Movement Toward Canadian
Lands Is Expected to Continue.

{ ! ~ Z f..sAt Z 4
The strength and activity in 500
line stocks the past week is ascribed
by New York brokers identified with
the advance to the placing. Of buying
orders for the. account of individuals
in Toronto and here. They are for
about the same persons who were
interested in the stocks on their long
advance, beginning with the Cana
dian Pacific purchase.
The buying for this account is not
supposed to be very heavy or serious
in itself. Taken in conjunction with
the well-known scarcity of the stock,
1T is enough to put the securities up.
These people generally buy on infor-
nation coming from the Canadian
Pacific office at Montreal and the
500 line office in this city. The in
to the effect that at the April meet
ing of the directors another dividend
of per cent will be paid on the
common stock-placing it on a regu-
lar per cent basis. Beyond this hint
there is nothing official about:the div
idend advices.
OF course the insiders are bullish
on the stocks and they say they are
bullish because the road is doing the
heaviest business in its history, is
stronger financially than ever before
in it's history and has better prospects
than ever before. The remarkable
way, it has rallied from the slump in
business in October and November is
a matter for deep congratulation.
The earnings looked to be in for a
long continued decline. Then all Of
a sudden they began to improve, and
by the end of December the road had
piled up the best gross increase in
the current year.
The real basis upon which the in
siders found their hopes for big earn
ings Is the fact that the American
settlement of the Canadian northwest
has gone steadily on, and that the
Canadian agents are not backward in
saying that it will be even heavier
next year than last. This is a real
cause for high hopes.
The real secret is, Of course, that
the small but active pool which OPP
Grated in these stocks last year is at
them again. The pool has been
lucky. It escaped the general de-
struction that overlook the pools be-
cause it. timed it's selling by the de-
cline in Canadian Pacifc-which, it
will be remembered, broke nearly a
month before the general decline in
the market began.
So. the. Toronto and Minneapolis
people are getting ready for nice
little quiet campaign in these stocks
very similar to the campaign of last
year. incidentally they are very like
ly to mark up Canadian Pacific if
Montreal will give them a little help.
1t is noteworthy fact that so con-
sentative a broker as Robert Good
body heads his list of good stocks to
buy this week with Canadian Pacific.
