Bottline a Cent BY Sudden Hit.

Here is a good little trick which
any one with a steady hand and a cor
rect eye can do. Take a strip OF very
stiff paper about an inch wide and
foot long, and paste the end together
so that 1t forms a round hoop. Set
this hoop upright on the neck of
bottle, and lay a cent on the very
top OF the hoop. Now insert a small
stick into the hoop and suddenly move
1t to one side, so that 1t strikes the
hoop and carries 1t away with It. The
cent will not be carried Off. too. but
will fall into the bottle The blow Is
so sudden that the hoop is flying
through the air before II has time to

SEED SALES BIG;
CITY WILL BLOOM
PUBLIC BENT ON CLEANING UP
AND RAISING FLOWERS.
Wallace G. Nye of Commercial Clubs
Public Affairs Committee Suggests
Line of Good Works for North Side
Commercial Club and Other Like
Organizations.

Notwithstanding the failure Of local
Improvement associations to enter a
lawn prize contest under the auspices
of the Commercial club, the clubs ef-
forts for the improvement Of the city s
appearance have not been unavailing.
More neighborhood cleaning work has
been done this year than ever before
in the history of the town. The Com
mercial club claims some credit for
this revival of public interest from it's
lawn contests of the past. Never be-
fore have so many cleaning-up bon
fires and grass burntngs taken place
on empty lots as this year. Those who
live near unsightly vacant places seem
to have a perfect mania this year for
identifying, and spots which have
been neighborhood disgraces year af-
ter year are to be slightly this summer.
On top Of all this comes the report
of the seed houses that their sales
are so per cent greater this year than
In any past year, and in some lines
sales have doubled.
Wallace G. Nye, secretary Of the
public affairs committee, said to-day
that such clubs as the East Side club
and the new North Side Commercial
club could do no better work than
cleaning up the parts of the city which
they represent. OF the latter club,
he spoke specially because the North
Side, on account Of its high situation
and wealth Of trees, is one Of the
most desirable places to live in the
city and could be made much more
attractive.

BIG IMMIGRATION AHEAD
A. e. JOHNSON PREDICTS A NEW
RECORD THIS YEAR THE
LOW RATES WILL BRING MANY.

A. E. Johnson, head Of the big i'm
migration agency which bears his
name and one of the directors of the
Scandinavian American Steamship
line, is in the city for few days.
He reports business conditions in the
east as very satisfactory. In
New York money is very plentiful and
conditions appear to be very easy. He
predicts there will be large immi-
grafton from the Scandinavian coun-
tries this year.
Ordinarily a decrease would be ex-
pected in Scandinavian immigration
this year." said Mr.. Johnson, "for the
business was unusually heavy last
year, the greatest since emigration
from the Scandinavian countries be-
gan, but the low rates offered by our
company has greatly stimulated the
sale of tickets. When the people
across the water can obtain a ticket to
America for go kroner they will hasten
to take advantage Of the opportunity
even tho they had not planned to sail
for a year or two. Likewise Scandi-
navians in this country who wish to
bring their. relatives to America,
hasten toJrtake advantage of the SIS
rate for prepaid tickets. The great
majority of the immigrants from
Scandinavia, as in the past, will set
tie in the northwest and there is still
room for Them"

SENT GUARD OUT
And THEN FLED.
EXCELSIOR PRISONER, RESCUED
FROM FIRE, ESCAPES.
He Simulated Severe Injury, and Did
It 50 Well that His Keeper Did Not
Hesitate to Leave Him Alone for a
Time.

Eugene Benedict, one Of the two
prisoners who nearly lost their lives
IN the Excelsior Jail yesterday morn
ing, c!eVerly escaped from the custody
OF deputy constable during the ex-
cltement at the fire, and nothing has
been heard Of him since. After be-
ing dragged unconscious from the
burning Jail he, with his colored COM
pan1on, was taken to the village hall.
where consciousness was restored.
1t was decided to hold Benedict in
Excelsior while his companion was
sent to hospital. Constable Powers
placed him in charge of a deputy and
the two We're left in the hall while
the Jail was being put in proper -con-
dition again. Benedict began to have
chills apparently, as soon as he was
left alone with his guard. Finally
he requested that his coat. and hat,
which had been left outside Of the
building, be brought to him. Unsus-
pect1ngly the guard left the prisoner
alone and started for the clothing.
He returned in few moments only
window in the rear of the hall ex-
planned his method Of exit. An alarm
was sounded, but search was in vain.
Constable Powers is the hero Of the
lakeside village, for it is entirely due
to his exertions and total disregard for
personal safety that the two prisoners
were not suffocated. AS soon as he
discovered the fire he entered the Jail
and, cropping his way thru the dense
smoke, he hunted for the prisoners.
Several times he had to return to the
open air to avoid being suffocated but
at last got both men out.
No explanation can be given for the
fire except that the colored man, en-
ragged on account of his arrest, set
his bed clothing on fire.

AUTO SCORCHERS
MAYOR AND CHIEF OF POLICE so
DECIDE.
The Former Feels That the Law Reg
ulating Speed Is Not Closely
Enough Observed and That Present
Conditions Are a Menace to Safety.

Mayor Haynes conferred with Chief
Conroy this morning over the reck-

owners and gave explicit instructions
to enforce the state law restricting the
speed of automobiles and motor cy-
Conroy has kept a careful watch over
the local chauffeurs and has spotted
some Of the fastest ones.
The state law provides that no auto
or motorcycle shall be run at a speed
exceeding eight miles an hour in the
thickly settled portions Of the city
and that the machine shall be
brought down to four miles an hour
at crossings. In the outskirts and
on the country roads a speed Of
twenty-five miles an. hour is permits
sible, but the drivers must come to a
stop when signalled to do SO by per-
sons driving horses.
Something must be done at once to
protect the people from the danger of
being run down by automobiles" said
Mayor Haynes. "a while ago there

WHAT DO YOU
THINK or THIS?

The Milks' Emulsion Company Of
Terre Haute, Indiana, are out with an
offer to cure the worst case Of Stom-
ach trouble or Constipation in exist
ence, or money refunded, and to start
you off they agree to buy the first bot
tie for you, from your druggist, and
present 1t to you free Of charge All
you have to do is to write and ask
them for an order on your druggist
for free bottle, giving your name,
address and particulars Of your case. (
This looks to US like pretty good
proposition. The fact that all drug
gists handling Milks' Emulsion are re-
quested to guarantee every bottle they
sell, Is a sure indication Of merit
Otherwise the Milks' Emulsion aCo

BOYS STORY WAS BAsELEss


"Thomas Branch" Is Josie Borst, Run
Sympathy was stirred up among the
charitably inclined people Of the city by
a tale Of woe told by Thomas Branch,
14-year-old boy. who came to the central
police station Monday night and asked for
lodging and aid in securing a position.
The boy said he was an orphan and
wanted an opportunity to learn the print
ing business.
SO plausibly did the lad tell his story
that several women became interested
and tried to find him work. The rules
Of the typographical union regulating the
number of apprentices, however inter-
fered, and they were unable to find a
place for him.
But an end came to their sympathy
when a woman from New Brighton came
to the central station last night and in
formed the officers that her nephew,
Josie Borst, Of Port Arthur, Wis, had
run away from home and that she had
been asked to notify the police Of this
city. She was shown to the womans
ward and found her missing nephew in
the person Of Thomas Branch. She ex-
planned that the lads parents were we'll

home, leaving his mother nearly heart

NEW LIBRARY STATION
Two Are voted-One at Salvation Army
.g4ts Home

The library board yesterday voted to
establish substation at the Salvation
Army home in the old city hail. This will
replace the old central substation at Voc
CELLS, closed last year, and is for public
use. In addition to the arrangements for
the delivery Of books, excellent reading
room facilities will be provided for the
patrons Of the building as well as for
the library's patrons.
Another new station was voted at Lake
street and Minnehaha avenue, and 1t is
believed that this will accommodate many
patrons, as the neighborhood is thickly
settled and Is a long way from all other
stations. This station will open this week
and the central station early next week.
It was decided to close all departments
of the library except the reading room and
delivery department Saturday afternoons
in order to give the employees a half
holiday thru the summer. The bills of
the month amounted to s6,s7o.63 and the
pay roll $2,311.59.

HILL HAS WRITTEN
DUNN WILL not
LETTER RECEIVED TO-DAY
FROM G. N. PRESIDENT.
Judge Collins Was Not Ready to Make
It Public To-day-It Is Said Not to
Give Verification for Dunn's State
ments Dunn Declines to Reply to
Collins Request.

r. G. Dunn declines to reply to the
letter Of Judge Collins or to follow
up his charges.
James j. Hill has replied to Judge
Collins letter. 1t is understood that
the reply was received this morning
and that it fails to back UP the as
sertions made by Mr.. Dunn last Fri
day night. However, the letter was
not made public to-day. Judge Col
Inns was at the state fair grounds at
tending a gathering OF the Territorial
Pioneers, and did not have time to
prepare the statement that is to go out
with the letters when they are pub
lished Nothing was known OF the
correspondence at the Collins head
quarters and Mr.. Hill refused to give
it out.
Judge Collins supporters claim,
however, that Dunn is placed in an
uncomfortable position, having made
damaging statements about his oppon-
ent, and not being able to make good.
His silence is said to be due to the
advice of his manager, Joel p. Heat
Wole.
Newspaper supporters Of Mr.. Dunn
claim that Public Examiner Johnson's
report on ttmbmer trespass was ready
last year, and was held for months for
political reasons. This is disproved
by the evidence of John Barry,
which shows that up to the first Of the
year, when he left the state employ,
nothing had been done with regard
otrespass matter except some notes
he had taken on the Akeley case. The
records in the Buchanan case and the
sixty-seven other cases reported have
all been dug up and transcribed since
that time.
An attempt has been made to drag
Judge w. B. Douglas, former attorney
general, into the controversy. A st
Paul morning paper claims that the
trespass matter was put in his hands
and he refused to have anything to dc
wit it. The fact is that he hired {
special assistant, Frank B. Griggs, fol
three months, and detailed him to as
sist the public examiner. He con

I No, have not answered Judge Collins

No one regrets more than myself that I
felt called upon to give publicity to the
information to which he seems to take ex-

outset to conduct a gentlemanly campaign
no such circumstance would have arisen.

while my character is being SO unjustlY
assailed as it has been for the last nirS

a candidate for that office, the unjust as
sault made upon my official and private
character would receive his unqualified
condemnation.
