MANY ECHOES FROM BARBECUE
Occasion Was Declared a Complete

That candidatal barbecue is still q
green and greasy spot in the memory
of man here and IS recorded in the his

their presence was heightened by a
cordial greeting and a bountiful feast.

Professor Sven Oftedal was k1dnap-
ped early last evening by small party
of the students Of Augsburg seminary
and compelled to go to the seminary
assembly-room without asking ques-
lions. When he was pushed thru the
door Of the hall he was greeted with
the cheers Of 200 Of his students who
were seated at a surprise banquet In
honor of his approaching birthday.
The function was a complete surprise
to the professor, but it was an
agreeable one, because, as he states
himself, he Is always ready to eat and
make merry with his students. The
special reason for the surprise IL the
professors intended retirement from
active work in the seminary after
thirty years Of unbroken service.
A program of toasts and musical
students. Professor G.. sverdrup, pres
ident of the seminary, made the open
ing address,. He spoke of the faith
full service Of the retiring professor
and Of the appreciation of him by the
friends Of the institution. The presi-
dent was followed by Professor H. A.
Urseth, who spoke on Professor Ofte-
the speaker said. in the University of
Norway, and came to America when
Norwegian schools were scarce. He
allied himself with Augsburg a, few
years after it was esta blished and had
devoted his entire time to its work
since that time.
After this address, J. Brevik, a stu
dent, presented Professor Oftedal a
beautiful gold watch on behalf of
| the students. On the back Of the
watch was an engraving of the new
main building of the college with the
| date Of its erection.
! A general social time followed the
banquet and the guest was escorted
| back to his home by the student body.

REALTY men
FEEL The SPRING
THEY ARE ALREADY PLANNING
CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.
This Means Their Own Education,
However, Along the Lines of Values
in Different Sections and Features
that Are Especially Attractiye-Im-
provement Campaign Suggested.

With the return of spring and re-
newed activity in real estate the
real estate board is
planning for an arousal of interest
among the agents. s. S. Thorpe, new
president Of the board, plans several
features for the edification and enter
tainment of the members. One plan
is to have a consideration Of the val
ues in different sections Of the city,
taking up one section at time. In
this way 1t Is expected to harmonic
ideas of values.
In several open meetings to be held,
values will be discussed thoroly, the
discussions being led by local men,
and sometimes by outsiders who are
experts in this line of real estate ac-
tivity. The matter of taxation and
special assessments will be considered
also. An endeavor will be made to
assist In some way to secure improve
ments where needed.
To acquaint real estate men with
their own city several drives will be
taken thru town in company, follow
ing a plan which has been used sue
cessfully In the past. o.,
President Thorpe expects to have
meetings at least once month which
will be SO interesting as to make it
impossible for a member to be absent
without loss to himself.
Especially close relations with other
senli-publ1c bodies will be maintained,
as it is planned to work in co-opera-
ton with them. The public affairs
committee Of the Commercial Club
and the Builders Exchange, and SINH
lar organizations, will be considered
coadtutors. ~.
One valuable result to the city will
come from a carrying out Of Mr.
Thorpe's plan to urge the members
OF the board who have rental agencies
shape
Nic spring, both to beautify the city
and to make them more valuable in
returns for rent.

Manchurian Trade.

For the last decade the foreign
trade of Manchuria has advanced
greatly. The last year of the decade
exceeds the first year by 500 per cent.
For 1902 the returns Of customs COL
lected were $4,000. The growth Of
the trade came from the free export
OF beans, bean cake and bean oil.
And during the last decade golden
grain belt beer has taken an enviable
place as the ideal beverage for family
use. The process Of brewing is q
guarantee Of its purity, and the con-
stituent elements explain it's tonic
healthful effect. It's merits are
brought out through regular use.

q Result.

Rents Are Reported to Be Rising as
Result.
Business men are nearly as much
interested in the lack of office room in
the city as jobbers, and manufacture
ers are in the shortage of cars. The
latter will be overcome with the ad-
vent of warm weather, but how the
other: deficiency is to be supplied is a
problem. e :.
Naturally the scarcity produces
higher prices, and rents are going up.
It is unfortunate that men seeking
offices have to hunt three or four
days to secure good quarters. Yet no
one evinces a desire to put up an Of
fee building. The Criterion Theater
company has had some thought of
putting up such a building, but moth

South St. Paul Citizens Excited Over A..
legged Criminal Assault
lynching was narrowly averted in
South st. Paul yesterday afternoon. A
crowd gathered around the city hall,
where George Newman was under arrest
on charge Of criminal assault. William
Smith, a clothing merchant, had been
arrested on the same charge, but while
the constable was waiting for him he
had ended his own life in his store.
After Newman's arrest yesterday the
citizens became 50 excited that there was
talk of lynching. The plan was frus-
trated, say the police, only because the
crowd lacked a leader with nerve.
An extra guard held the Jail last night
to prevent any serious results in case Of
an outbreak.
