MINNESOTA SCHOOL OF
BUSINESS
Thousands of It's Graduates Occupy
ing Remunerative Positions.

The most distinctive feature of the
Minnesota School of Business is it's
teachers. This has been called the
day of specialists. It's teachers are
specialists with regard to their chosen
in their respective lines Of work.
The proprietors, Messrs. Richard
and Gruman, have been actively en-
gagged in teaching for twentysix
years, and devote their whole time
and attention to the work of the
school. Each instructor Is an expert
in his own department. In addition
to this, it is demanded Of each that he
have the special faculty of imparting
his own knowledge to others. -
For more than a quarter of a CEN
fury the Minnesota School Of Business
has been training young men and
women for business life, and its thou
sands of graduates are now occupying
positions of honor and profit all over
the country. The experimental stage
Of the school has long ago been
passed, and the institution has for
many years been established in the
confidence Of the business public.
The world has never known such
a demand as there is at present for
competent young men and women to
fill good business positions. During
the past year the positions offered
have been so numerous that many
times the school was unable to fill
them. It's chief difficulty at present
is, not to find positions, but to find
enough capable young people to fill
the positions offered.

RIDES THE DEATH TRAP
Daring Oscar Babcock to Be State Fair
Attraction.


The one big star feature of the Mime
sofa state fair this year will be the Great
Babcock'' in what is conceded to be the
acme Of all hazardous, thrilling, death
defying bicycle riding exploits Refer
ence is made to Babcock's wonderful
achievement of looping the death-trap
loop and in making his exit from the loop
flying the hune A good deal has been
written regarding the death-trap loop. It
is marvel in itself, and will thrill every
one who sees it. The daring rider, Oscar
Babcock, rides down a staging that IS
near the shape Of the, letter -. !" He
comes down the stem and passes just I'M
der the curl of the upper part. He has
gained such Roadway that he is shot for
ward and upward. and as he passes a
point twenty feet from the base, his
wheel automat ically loosens "a spring and
the track he rides drops suddenly. A
section of the arc drops, like a teeter that
part of the track he rode over as he en-
tered the curl rises and completes the
track, SO that when he makes the over
head loop there is a track on which he
can complete his circuit. It closes just in
the instant of the time needed to- save
him from being hurled to the earth and
dashed to death. And the lettering sec
ton that gives him completed CIRCLE
falls at the farther side as it rises at the
nearer, SO that he has a. doorway thru
which he darts at the speed OF bullet
shot from a rifle to the level ground.

THE NORTHWESTERN CON
sERVATORY OF MUSIC,

The oldest and most conservative
music school in the city, will COM
mence it's twentieth year next month.
To mark the anniversary new de-
parture will be made-the Offering of
five free and eight partial scholar
ships in different branches. To these
will be added a number of free adj
vantages in the form of recitals, lee
lures and social evenings, designed to
broaden the musical knowledge of the
student and make the work in the in
stitution interesting as we'll as bene-
fetal.
The Conservatory has also entered
into affiliation with the Leo Cooper
School of Oratory and Dramatic Art
for the practical training of speakers,
public readers, ETC., with an especial
department devoted to stage training.
Such a dramatic school, under the di-
rection of an instructor of reputa-
ton and experience, has long been
needed in the northwest
Several new names will be added to
the strong musical faculty of the Con-
serN atory and students will find the
coming season an especially profitable
one to attend. The new and enlarged
quarters in the Dayton building admit
OF expansion in all departments, facili-
! ties which will be taken advantage OF

AUGSBURG SEMINARY

Augsburg Seminary is the first di
vinity school built by Norwegian
Americans. 1t was founded in 1869,
and three years later a site had been
bought and three-story school
building erected for the seminary in
two years Sven Oftedal, Georg Sver-
drup and s. r. Gundersen were called
from Norway as professors of the
ology.
The student attendance improved
from year to year and the needs of
the student body increased AS a
consequence the seminary soon had
grown into three distinct departments
college and theological.
The two first departments were
planned to prepare for the theological
studies.
It has made no effort to compete
with or occupy the field of state
schools, but has subordinated its
whole curriculum to the particular
needs of it's students and it's purpose
as divinity school training men for
Christian service.
Upon the merging of the NorWe-
gian Lutheran conference in 1890 with
| other church bodies to form the
United church, Augsburg was made
| the theological seminary Of that
church Not all the new supporters
| however, were III pSIlSCI Aicll 1iloAio
| with it's established methods. A con-
troversy followed which resulted il
the formation of the Lutheran Free
church as the defender and continued
supporter Of the Augsburg idea. BY
an amicable settlement in 1898 the
United church kept the endowment
fund of the seminary, while the Free
church retained the seminary proper
Augsburg is today the recognized
educational institution Of the Luther
an Free church, by whom it is sup
ported. These supporters, in 1901
erected new $4,000 college build
| ing and last year raised an additional
! $4,000 to wipe out an indebtedness!
incurred for further improvements.
Since it's organization Augsburg
seminary has graduated 1853 from the
college department. and 204 from the
theological department. During hi
same time it has been attended b.
thousands of students from all part!
I of the west and has drawn around
! itself a number Of affiliated institu
tons.
Since 1875 Professor George Sver
drup has served as president of thu
school and Professor Sven Oftedal a.
| president of the board Of trustees.

THE ARCHIBALD BUSINESS
COLLEGE;

Among the institutions founded for
the instruction of the young in special
lines OF education, none have attract
ed more students than those estab-
lished to instruct young men and
women in the rudiments and princi-
pies of a commercial education.
One Of these institutions is the
Archibald Business College Of Mime
apolis, founded by A. r. Archibald
it's present president, the veteran in
the educational field, whose diploma,
now hanging in the office Of the col
lege, bearing date of June 20; 1874,
printed in Latin and signed by the
trustees of Dartmouth college, N. H..
comforting upon him the rank
the ability Of the founder of this coll
lege to formulate such a course Of
study as will best prepare it's students
for the various positions in the bust
ness world. Its curriculum has been
changed from time to time to meet
the demands of business in this west
ern country.
= It's present penman has no peer in
the northwest. It's shorthand and
typewriter instructor is a sturdy ex-
ponent Of the Benn Pitman system,
which has stood the test of time and
produced the most rapid and capable
stenographers Of the age. Success has
crowned the efforts of the Benn Pit
man system, as we find its votaries
holding the highest positions in the
gift Of the railroads, machine compa-
MES, law firms, courts of Justice, civil
service commissions and the United
States senate.
Thousands of graduates of this col
1ege are now holding permanent po-
sitions Of trust in this city and sur
rounding country. We learn that the
present cashier of the Security bank
Of this city, Mr.. Perry Harrison, was
one Of Mr.. Archibald's students, and
that the assistant cashier, Mr.. Fred

Spafford, also graduated from this
college.
A reporter to whom was assigned
the duty of looking up the, past rec
ord of this college, finds also among
its graduates the names of w. H.
Clark, cashier Of the Bank of Win
Sdom, Mimi; p. o. Slzooglund, cashier
of Watkins State bank, Mimi; f..
Nellernoe, cashier of the Bank of
Buffalo, Mimi; Albert Berg, ex-secre-
tary of state; A. N. Robertson, man
ager of General Electric company;
Beltz and Watson Brothers, grain
merchants; George f. Clark, instruc-
tor Of stenography, Stanford univer--
sity, California, and many others of
equal prominence in business and
financial circles in this city and
throughout the northwest generally.
The location Of the college in it's
quiet retreat on Lake street and Ste
vens avenue, removed from the allur-
ing environments of the city center,
so disquieting, distracting and inju-
rious from a study viewpoint, and
surrounded by the homes of our best
citizens, must commend itself to all
thoughtful people as an ideal place
for study, good health, good habits
and thorough work, and conducive to
| the acquiring of systematic and
practical business education.

NO FAMINE OF SLEEPERS
HOW THE PULLMAN COMPANY
ACCOMMODATES TRAVELLERS
TO TWO WIDELY SEPARATED
: CONVENTIONS.

If it were notSfor the Pullman COM
pany's system Of districting surplus
cars a scarcity of sleepers would like.
Iy result from the fact that two big
at opposite ends of the
country were dated about the same
time. Scores OF special Pullman trains
were made up to take the westerners
to Boston for the q. A. r.. annual en-
,camprnent and before Sept. 4 a big1lot
of equipment will esreauired to carry
the knights Templar to the triennial
sconclayes at San Francisco.
The Pullman company puts cars IN
districts and. then has a surplus ready
for use on days notice if cars are
wanted in any section. In few days
the PuIlmans which went east with
the old soldiers will begin to work
back and they will be on hand for the
Masonic exodus.
Meanwhile the roads maintain their
regular equipment Of sleeping cars.
The Denver & Rio Grande will be the
principal route west for special
knights Templar trains, on. account Of
the scenery. That company had pre-
pared two months ago for forty-three
special trains carrying about seven
sleepers each, SO that no shortage is
expected. The Rock Island will carry

City and Chicago, ending with the
national horse show in New York

City and Chicago, ending with the
national horse show in New York.
Heretofore Minneapolis and ST. Paul
have held separate horse shows, and
the result has not been altogether
gratifying, creditable as they have
been in some respects. The co-opera-
ton of the horse lovers of the two
cities, however, means an event double
in Importance, number of entries and
patronage. Plans have accordingly
been made upon an elaborate scale.
The largest tent ever used for horse
show purposes, 35Ox15O feet in size,
will be used, which will give an arena
larger than is afforded by the Coli
scum at Chicago or Madison Square
Garden at New York A seating ca
pacity for 5000 people will be pro-
vided with row of boxes thanking a
tire circumference.
The tent will be located just inside
of the state fair grounds and will be
connected with the platform at the
terminal Of the street car lines by a
canopied entrance. Several thousand
incandescent lights will be used. The
state fair stock barns will be utilized
for the care of equipages and auto
mobiles. Thus even bad weather can
not threaten the success of the show.
Prizes amounting to $4,000 are Of
| fered which cover fifty classes and
tney are TO De AWARDED by Judges
| from abroad who are acknowledged
EeXperts. A majority of the horse
| show exhibitors can be depended upon
to come here and the twin cities will
be given an opportunity to see many
| of the blue-ribboned champions, in
| Guiding hunters, jumpers, as we'll as
saddle horses and harness horses. Sew
! eral prizes will be offered for local
competitors alone.
The entries close at midnight, Sept
1, and can be made with L. A. Lara
NEE at 43 Fourth street S, Minneapo-
| lis, or at room 516 Manhattan build

Publishers of books of fiction report
a great falling off in the demand for
such works and are at a loss to under
stand it. With the magazines and
giving critical reviews Of
each book as it appears, the result is
natural, that only the best ones
should meet with favor and as 100
poor ones come out for every good
one, the majority are failures. There
are likewise hundreds of beers on the

stands by itself as the most healthful

LATTER TO TAKE
KNox'S PORTFOLIO
Victor Il. Metcalf, of California, Will
Succeed Cortelyou in Department
Of Commerce and Labor-Further
Changes Expected.

Washington, June ga sweeping
change in the cabinet of President
Roosevelt was announced officially at the
white house Friday. The announcement
came in the form of brief type-writ-
ten statement issued by Secretary Loeb,
as follows:
List of Appointments.
1.-THE following cabinet appointments
are announced:
William H. Moody, Of Massachusetts,.
attorney general.
paul Morton, of Illinois, secretary Of
the navy.
Victor H. Metcalf, of California, sec
rotary of commerce and labor.
1.-THE designations Of Secretary Cor
telyou and Attorney General Knox have
been accepted to take effect July /"
For two weeks or more it has been
known that these changes we're impend-
ing.
When Secretary Cortelyou was ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt to be
his campaign manager, it was certain
that he would retire from the cabinet
upon his assumption of duties as chair
man of the republican national commit
tee. Just before he lett for Chicago last
Wednesday he placed in the hands Of
