TWO NELSON'S FOR MAYOR
DIR. HENRY s. FINDS DIR. HUGH
IN THE FIELD, TOO-NIAY AL
TER HIS NAME.

At least one Of the several promi-
nent citizens who have formally ex-
pressed their desire to secure the re-
publican nomination for mayor has
decided there Is a great deal more in
a name than one William Shakspere
would lead the public to believe. He
is seriously considering securing the
aid of the courts in getting his name
changed.
The gentleman troubled with a COM
plant akin to that known as too
much Johnson" is DR.. Henry S. Mel
son, former coroner and city physi-
clan, and, by virtue of his present am
fairs Of the city, a candidate for the
republican mayoralty nomination.
DR.. Henry S. Nelson SHE'D the
proverbial castor into the ring but a
few days ago. He was not a little
chagrined when a fellow member Of
the medical profession, DR.. Hugh Nell
son, followed suit, and yesterday filed
his declaration of intention to also be-
come the party's choice for the may
orally nomination.
DR.. Hugh Nelson's appearance is a
case of history repeating itself, and
is not at all to DR.. Henry S. Nelson's s
liking, as the latter figures that many
otherwise Intelligent voters will put
the sign of the cross opposite Dr..
Hugh Nelson's name when they real
ly meant to vote for Dr.. Henry S.
Nelson.
This thing happened in the last
campaign" said DR.. Henry S. this
morning, "and am sure it cost me
votes. If I can figure it out, I may
petition the courts for such a change
in my name as will leave it individual
without ca using it to lose identity"
And while he is figuring it out he
has opened campaign headquarters
in rooms 17-18 Eastman block, 412
NicOllet avenue.

LIVELY SESSION
IS IN PROSPECT
SENTIMENT ON THE BRICK
PLANT AT WoRKHoUsE.
One Member of the Council Said to Be
Primed for a Redhot Debate on the
Question Other Matters Scheduled
to Come Before the Solons.

It will be an easy matter to give a
lively touch to the proceedings of
the city council at it's meeting this
evening. The special committee to
which was referred the general ques-
ton of retaining the workhouse stone
port recommending the abolition Of
the quarry to start a lively debate.
The abandonment of the quarry at
the present time is preliminary to the
establishment of a brick plant at the
workhouse. To this plan the unions
council are strongly opposed, and they
have one staunch champion in the
council. Who this is the leaders will
not disclose at present. He was pres
ent at the meeting Of the building
trades last evening and not only
learned what the sentiment was, but
imbibed it fully.
The building trades do not insist
on the retention of the quarry, but
insist that it is preferable, from their
standpoint, to a brick yard. Their
idea is that the workhouse prisoners
should be employed at making roads
or improving the parks of the city.
The council this evening will act on
the street railway loop ordinance.
It is taken for granted that the coun-
| Gil will follow the recommendation of
the committee and require as one Of
| the conditions of the ordinance that
| the street railway company assume
| the expense of widening the bridge
across the river at Washington avenue
S. The bridge is so narrow that the
street railway traffic seriously inter-
feres with other traffic.
| A report from the committee to
which was referred the matter Of vot-
| ing bonds for the establishment Of a
municipal electrical lightning plant
may be expected this evening. A
meeting was called for late this after
noon with fair prospects for a quorum.

bathroom, he placed the muzzle of
the revolver in his mouth and fired
one shot. When his wife ran upstairs
there were no signs Of life.
Mr.. Fravor had been in i'll health for
several months and had often told his
wife he feared he would never recover.
Yesterday he went down town and
purchased a revolver, saying that he
thought it safer to carry one.

OLD BELL FOUND
SAFE IN DEBRIS
MINNEAPOLIS FIRST BELL
BURIED BY STORM.
1t Went Down in the Crash of the
First Presbyterian Church, but
When Exhumed Today 1t Was I'm
harmed-,-The Relic Has an Interest,"
ing History.

Buried in the basement of the First
Presbyterian church, the historic bell,
the first that ever rang from church
in Minneapolis, was found uninjured
in the heap of rubbish and broken
stone this morning. The old bell was
presented to the First Presbyterian
church by Major Wadsworth of New
York in 1853. Since that time it has
had five restingplaces, and it was
hoped that when the present church
was built that would be its last.
1t arrived in st. Paul in October,
1858, and was hauled to Minneapolis
by team. 1t was hung on tower
built for it on Bridge Square, where
The Minneapolis journal., 1904-08-26

the electric light mast used to stand.
At that time it was used as a fire
alarm as we'll as for church purposes,
being the biggest bell in the city. The
church was in a nearby hall.
In 1854 it was installed in the new
church at Sixth avenue S and, Fifth
street. The church was called the
"Toothpick Church" on account of the
height of the spire. During the war
the church was used as a school and
the bell called the children to their
daily tasks
In 1865 the bell was again trans
ferred to the new church on First
avenue S, between Seventh and
Eighth streets. The next move was
to Tenth street and Park avenue, Aug.
81, 1873, where it remained sixteen
years.
The bell was placed in the belfry Of
the present church in February, 1889,
but was not hung for some time. At
one time a request came from the
Pacific coast that the bell might be
sent there, but this was not granted.

my SYSTEM"
Adjutant General Bell Says Colorado
Has Been Cleaned Out by 1t.

Cripple Creek, Col, June 2O-In re-
sponse to a telegram from an eastern
newspaper asking for a statement from
him as to whether he said that Cover
nor Peabody will soon have to declare
the whole of Colorado in a state of re-
belliOn and put the state under martial
law, Adjutant General Bell replied as
follows:
THE alleged interview is absolutely
without foundation. 1 not only never
gave out such an interview but the idea
is absolutely foreign to my mind under
the past and present conditions
There is no need of declaring Color
ado under martial law
The whole state has been practically
cleaned out by my deportation Sustem-
There are but few anarchists and So
cialists left who can cause trouble.
However. should it become a mill
tary necessity the whole state OF Col
orado will be placed under martial law
and all instructions dealt with accord
Il do not believe that this will ever
be necessary. In my Judgment, the Col
orado labor troubles kare at an end
We have been making the fight for
the whole of the United States as the
Western Federatio of Miners has been
receiving financial support and other
assistance from the country a { large.
Colorado is looking to other states to
follow suit
Secretary HayNvOod's Views
Denver, Col. June 20.-Replying to
an inquiry from an eastern newspaper
as to the justification, If any for the re-
ported assertion of General Bell. that
the state of Colorado would be placed
under martial law, if such a move be-
came necessary, Secretary Haywood of
the Western Federation of Miners sent
the following message:
No, there is nothing in the Situa ton
to justify the prediction of General
Sherman Bell unless perchance the
people become aroused over the awful
torture inflicted upon innocent victims
confined in the bull pens and the re-
lentless, cruel war being waged against
women and children.
1.-The spirit of resentment is strong
in the breasts of the people; but not
rebellion. That is a horrible phantom,
wrought from the weird brain of a mill
itary fanatic, who would rather hear
the clanking of sabre chains than an
gels music.
There may be martial law in Color
ado, but not to suppress insurrection,
but rather insure, if possible, the re-
election of a 100000 Republican state
administration"

on the Miller Case.

st. Paul, June 20.-The Internation-

adopted resolutions censuring Presi-
dent Roosevelt for his action in the
Miller case in connection with the
public printing Office in Washington.
The resolutions say
"Your committee feels that the In
ternationaI Brotherhood of Bookbind-
ers now in convention should take
this, the first opportunity to add their
protest against the pronouncement of
President Roosevelt declaring the
open shop to be in the public interest
eve submit that the open shop,
menacing as 1t is in the light of ex-
perience; a weakening and ultimate
decentralization of the reforming infiu-
ence of organized labor, is not in the
interest of the public welfare.
1--WE therefore submit that the
sense of this convention is that the
declaration of the open shop by Presi-
dent Roosevelt was not in the inter
ests of the people of the United
States"

The knowledge that the senator will
not refuse has been communicated to

The movement for Representative
Hit seems to have been precipitated
to some extent by those who felt that
Fairbanks should make a declaration.
Then again the Illinois men feel that
in view of the action of their state

effort for Mr.. Hit. It is a fact, how
ever, that the recent illness of Mr.

ardor of his supporters who acknowl-
