he COMFORTED
The SORROWlNG
SALVATION ARMY MANS UNI
USUAL EXPERIENCE.
Called Upon to OnRiciate at Three Fu-
nerals Within an Hour, at Two OF
Them Without Previous Notice
Mourners Had Waited in Vain for
Delayed Pastor.

Layman's cemetery was the scene OF.
an unusual and pathetic series of Incl
dents one day this week, an officer Of
the Salvation Army being called upon
to officiate at the funerals of three
persons. There were three inter-
ments, and only by chance did the
officer take part in two Of them.
An old man had died at the Saliva
ton Army shelter, and it was thought
he was friendless. He had a sum Of
money, but not enough to defray his
funeral expenses. Rather than send
the body to the university, the kind
hearted officers Of the Salvation Army
made up the amount and gave the
body Christian burial. An officer
accompanied the remains to the ceme-
terry, and in the presence Of small
company led in a song, read from the
Psalms and offered a prayer.
AS the little party walked away,
the officer was called by a man, who.
with his family, had carried the body
of q child to the Cemetery. A tiny
white coffin was beside an open grave.
The father and mother, with another
child, stood nearby, and the only per-
sons present beside them were two
cemetery workers. The family evil
IDENTIFY had no church connection and
did not have sufficient acquaintance
with any pastor to request him to Of
flciate at the funeral. Grasping the
situation, the officer spoke words of
consolation and comfort to the par
ents, who appeared deeply distressed.
The child was buried and, with the
parents, the officer again started to
leave the cemetery. Before he reached
the gates, however, he was once more
halted and asked to officiate at a third
funeral. It was explained that thru
a misunderstanding or illness the min
| lister who was to have officiated had
been unable to come, and the party
| had waited over an hour by the open
grave.
| Quick in sympathy, the officer
| walked to the third grave, where a
4 company had assembled, and per
! formed the last rites over woman
he had never known or seen. After {
prayer and a song he spoke briefly
in an impersonal way, on the briefnes!
of life and it's lessons.
I The officers services won for hin
the heartfelt thanks Of those be-
reaved.

A C0RYPHEE GONE;
HUSBAND MISSING
FAIR BURLEsQUER FIGURES IN A
DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.
With Minneapolis Furniture
Salesman Whom She Had Greeted
as Former Sweetheart.

When the Knickerbocker Bur-
lesquers close their engagement at the
Dewey theater tonight they will go
to their next booking minus Eva Clyde
of the chorus.
The Knickerbockers reached Min
neapolis a week ago, and Miss Clyde
casually remarked to her sister Choir
listers that this was her old home.
When good-looking young man
vorably received, she made no re-
mark; but the other girls had eyes,
and Miss Eva might just as we'll have
added: And this is my old sweet
heart"
The calls Of the good-looking young
man became more frequent, and when
the chorus girls were called for the
opening number Tuesday night, Miss
Eva was missing. 1t was soon whis-
pered about that she and her old
sweetheart had left the city to be
married.
While this, little romance was being
talked aboutHat the Dewey theater, a
tragedy was occurring in 3 another
part Of the city. George Brown, a
salesman in a local furniture store,
who resides on Bryant avenue s, babe
his wife and children adieu Tuesday
evening and started to make a call
He did not return, and now 1T appears
that he was the good looking young
man" who called upon Miss Clyde al
the theater and who is believed to
have eloped with the pretty chorus
girl. Since then the matter has been
reported to the police but no trace
Of the missing pair can be found.
Miss Clyde formerly resided on
Park avenue, but her family name is
unknown. She gave the impression
that Brown was her old sweetheart
who had married another, but had
been divorced while she was on the
stage. Whether Brown deceived the
girl is not known, but no divorce
proceedings have ever been started.

PARENTS MADE GLAD
j Journal Item Brings Them Their
Dead Boys Last Photograph.

Thru brief item in h e J o u r.
n a l, Mr.. and Mrs. John Rorrisan of
Washburn Park have secured the last
photograph ever taken Of their little
son, Willie, who died in January
The negative was made in August by a
passing snap shooter who saw the boy
and his playmate wading in Minneha-
ha creek. When the lad died his
parents wished to secure print
from this negative, but the artist was
unknown and their dilemma was
stated in h u r n al. The item
fell under the eye of A. B. Howard Of
the New Store, who dimly remem-
bered having developed such a mega
tive. He finally located it in the pos
session Of A. J. Davis of the Glen
wood-Inglewood company, who gladly
lent the plate for an enlargement.

W ASN'I AIMED AT
COUNTRY HOUSES
SENATOR McCUMBER's ATTACK rs
MADE MORE DEFINITE.
Officials of Terminal Elevator Conn
panies Say Figures to Meet Nc
Cumber's Attack Are Easily Obtain
able and that No Attempt Has Been
Made to Conceal Them.

The elevator interests of the north
west have at length taken notice Of
the attack made upon them in the
United States senate by Senator Nc
Cumber Of North Dakota. Senator
McCumber Is the father Of a federal
grain inspection bill. In presenting it
to the senate and arguing against the
present system of state inspection, he
made charges against the elevators of
very serious nature. Senator Nell
son, coming to the defense Of the ele-z
vator interests, has been, in some de-
gree, handicapped by lack of up-to-
date statistics with which to combat
the McCumber arguments. A request
was made upon some of the terminal
elevator companies of Minneapolis and
Duluth for such data as would afford
basis for REPUTATION Of the charges,
but the terminal companies have stood
upon their dignity and have refused to
notice the attack or to enter into any
detailed denial. The official figures OF
receipts and shipments of grain are
public property, readily obtainable by
any one upon application.
The country elevators, however,
have smarted under the odium thrown
upon them by the McCumber charges,
which We're rather sweeping and not
quite definite. AS result Of this, a
number Of communications have
passed between Minneapolis and
w WHICH nave SuInCeQ TO
draw out the fact that the McCumber
| charges were intended to apply to
terminal companies only and not to
country elevator companies.
Directed at Terminals.
Speaking of the matter this morn
ing, H. F. Douglas, the Minneapolis
| elevator man, whose interests lie
largely in country houses, said:
'In the United States senate, on
March 80, Senator McCumber Of
North Dakota, in a speech urging the
ton, made the charge that the farm
ers were being robbed by the elevator
men of millions of dollars every year
in the matter Of grades and weights.
-,t1 The e. country elevator interests
knowing that, so far as they were con
cerned, these charges were not in &C
cordance with the facts, and being
/ prepared to furnish ample proof tc
this effect, Of a character that could
not be questioned, telegraphed Senator
Nelson as follows: Please ascertain
statements made by him March 81
were intended to apply to the owners
and operators of both country anc
terminal elevators, as, if SO, the coun.
try elevator people want to furnish
certified statements refuting hi

his statement to that effect, made t.
q you, would relieve u.s., and they have
received from Senator Nelson the fol
. lowing reply: Senator McCumbel
! did not intend to refer, and did not re
! fer, to country elevators, but only t
!. terminal elevators"
Local terminal elevator men say tn,
figures pertaining to the business ar,
readily sobtainable, and they will b,
glad to have them made public.

FIRST STEP TO
ENLARGE FORT.
MINNEAPOLIS MEN 10 APPRAIsE
LANDS AT SMELLING.
b. f. Nelson, Thomas Downs and
Alex McCune Are Named-About
845 Acres Will Be Purchased by
the Government for Use as Rifle
Range.

Benjamin F. Nelson, Thomas
Downs and Alexander McCune Of
Minneapolis, have been appointed
commissioners to appraise the value
of lands to be taken by the United
States for the proposed addition to
the military reservation at Fort
Smelling. Colonel Charles A. Will
panied by his adjutant, Captain Viii
liam A. Morrow, appeared before
Judge Lochren in federal court this
morning. Al j. Smith, assistant dis
trict attorney, also appeared In be-
half Of the government and re-
quested the appointment of the ap-
praisers, Land owners entered an
appearance, and attorneys were pres
ent in behalf of many Of those who
did not appear.
Proofs Of publication and notice to
property owners in the condemnation
proceedings were filed. Colonel Will
liams explained that the addition was
necessary to give the troops adequate
room for target practice. He held
that the 90-foot bluff at the end Of
the proposed range would give per-
feet safety for rife practice with the
modern weapons Captain Morrow
gave practically the same testimony.
After the appointm of the COM
missioners Judge Lochren ordered that
their first meeting should be held at
10 a.. m. May 2, at the federal court
rooms in Minneapolis.
| The proceedings are for the pur-
pose of condemning and purchasing
about 845 acres south of the I<rt
Smelling military reservation for use
as a target range, and for the pur-
chase of the improvements on the
property. The sum of $4,000 is
available for the purpose
"The impression that the govern
ment desires to do any injustice to
any land owners in making the addi-
ton to Fort Smelling reservation is
erroneous" said Assistant District
Attorney Al ]. Smith to-day. ct is
to make the Fort Smelling rifle range
safe and do away with all possibility
| Of injury to any one. The addition
Of this land will tend to make Fort
Smelling one of the most important
army posts Of the country, and will
be Of great benefit to Minneapolis.
There is disposition on the part Of
the government to pay the actual
value of lands and Improvements, but
any idea that because the government
desires the land it presents an oppor-
tunity for owners to get an exorbitant
price is wrong. Property owners will
have full opportunity to appear be
fore the commissioners and estab-
lish the value of their lands
If this proceeding is successful ii
will put Fort Smelling on an equal
footing, as an army post, with any
} in the country" said Colonel Will
liams. 1T will put it far in advance
Of some posts. The site chosen for g
rifle range is a splendid one and
would probably attract some notable
military sharpshooting competitions
It would also make the range abso.
