that there was a fairly equal fall of
the cards. Adair might have lost five
pounds but no more. His fortune
was considerable one, and such q
loss could not in any way affect him.
He had played nearly every day at
one club or other, but he was q cau-
tious player, and usually rose n win

partnership with Colonel Moran, he
had actually won as much as -four
hundred and twenty pounds In a sit
ting, some weeks before, from Godfrey
Miner and Lord Balmoral. So much
for his recent history as it came out
at the inquest.
On the evening Of the crime he re-
turned from the club exactly at ten.

servant deposed that she heard hir,
enter the front room on the second
floor, generally used as his sitting
room. She had lit q fire there, and
as it smoked she had opened the VIM

room until eleven-twenty, the hour OF
the return of Lady Maynootn and her
daughter. Desiring to say goodnight,
she attempted to enter her sons room.

young man was found lying near the

were some figures also upon a sheet

club friends opposite to them, from
which it was conjectured that before
his death he was enleavorinG to make
out his losses or winnings at cards.
A minute examination of the cir

THREE NEAR DEATH
Women Rescued When Nearly
Dead From Coal Gas

!, Already in deathly stupor from the
fumes of coal gas, Mrs. Martha Olson,
Elizabeth and Anna Peterson, all liv-
ing at 574 Beaumont avenue, were dis
covered just in time by John Peter
son early yesterday morning. The VIC
Tins were sleeping on the second floor
and pipe ran from the coal stove
downstairs through the rooms and into
a the chimney. A defect in one of the
hampers shut off the air supply in the
pipe and the gas began to escape.
Shortly after z o'clock yesterday MORN
ing John Peterson, a member of the
family, went upstairs to wake his sis
tiers and aunt in time for breakfast,
but on knocking on the door of the
room occupied by Mrs. Olson received
no response and entered the room. Mrs.
Olson was lying unconscious on the
floor, and beside her lay a pug dog.
also unconscious.
Carrying the unconscious woman into
the hail, Peterson entered the room
occupied by his sisters. Both girls were
unconscious, but soon revived when
carried into the fresh air. Mrs. Olson
could not be revived, and the police
ambulance was called. The police
surgeon administered temporary aid
and the woman was hurried to the city
hospital. She was in a serious condi-
ton last night, but has a chance of re-
coVery. The dog was carried into the
yard, but died in a few minutes.

An enlarged laboratory will be provided

The department has declared war upon
manufacturers of illegal foods to an ex-
tent not heretofore attempted. Prosecu-
ton, not persecution, will be the rule
but when necessary retail merchants will
be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the
law should they persist in selling impure
or adulterated foods after warning by an
inspector. The department Is working
in the interests of the health of the peo-
pie, and the hearty cooperation of all hon

of pure food is asked. ANY informa fion

HERE ARE WINNERS
Articles of Furniture That
Cannot Fail to Satisfy

Our stock OF Parlor, Library, Bed
room, Den and Hall Furniture never
teemed with such bargains as we are
able to offer you at this time of the
year, made Of solid mahogany, quar-
tered oak, birdseye maple and silver
flr. In parlor furniture we have a full
line of plain and tufted solid mahogany
divans, settees, ladies' chairs and gold
furniture. Nothing is quite so chic for
the dining room or den as the sensible
weathered oak, and a young married
couple can not get a piece of furniture
in their home that will give better sat
isfaction than the weathered oak, as it
embodies all that is simple and ar
tistic.
Don't forget that we are the house
that keeps the prices down, and our
terms of $1.00 down and $1.00 a week
apply to anything in our store.
Grand Rapids Furniture Exposition
The most successful season of furni-
ture buying in the history of Grand
Rapids has just closed, and the buyers
from all over the United States, Do
minion of Canada, Africa and England
have departed for their various homes.
Nothing has made such a stir for
some time as the sale of samples, as
never before was there such a fine
showing made of all grades of furni-
ture.
AS it has always been the custom
of exhibitors to sell their samples
where they were, buyers have looked
forward to the closing of the expo
sition, as 1t has been their earnest de-
sire to get fine and medium priced
furniture at less than manufacturers
cost. These samples have always
been snapped up by eastern buyers,
but 1t remained for a western store to
wrest from the east portion of these
samples.
Smith & Farwell Company Of ST.
Paul, Minnesota, are the lucky ones,
and they are to be congratulated on
their foresight in securing these sam
pies, as 1t will enable them to sell
these goods cheaper than their COM
petitors can buy them for at the mar
kets.

cd of extending credit to customers is
more talked about than anything else
that has recently happened in financial
or commercial circles.
Our credit system has met with the
instant approval of the public That
this is evident is shown from the fact
that more people are buying home fur
nlshfngs from us than elsewhere
They have no hesitancy in asking
Tor credit for the reason they know it
Will be courteously extended and for
the further reason that they can pur-
chase the highest grade furniture and
carpets on credit as advantageously
as they could do if they were paying
cash. All goods are marked in plain
figures.
A child can buy of us with as great
a degree Of security as a grown per-
son.
We realize that most newly married
people are little short of ready
money, and for that reason we started
our liberal credit plan, so they might
start housekeeping right and pay later
for their goods.
Come in and visit our mammoth

CORNER SIXTH AND MINNIE
sofa, March 1S.-There is scarcely
a housewife who thoroughly under
stands the meaning Of the word Quail
ity'' in furniture. They are governed
by the reputation of the house they
deal with.
No house in the Twin Cities has
had a better reputation for the high
class goods than Smith & Farwell Co.
For twenty-five years this house has
given the people of the Northwest bet
ter values in home furnishings than
any other house, that's why the growth
. has been so steady, so successful, SO
gratifying. Every department Of this
great store is in charge of men who
have shown their ability before coming
with us, men experienced in buying
what will give the greatest values for
the least money. Our buyers visit all
the great furniture expositions in
search of dependable furniture but they
do not stop there, as many trips are
made to the factories, where a thor
fough inspection is made Of the goods,
as it is our aim to always get the best
there is made of the kind we buy.
Our patrons can at all times rest as
sured, when placing an order with us
for. home furnishings, that they are
getting more for their money in quail
ity, style and finish.
We always buy goods of the largest
factories and who have the largest out
put, as that enables us to own our
goods at rock bottom prices.
We shall always endeavor to please
you, and glance through our store will
soon convince you we have the goods
and the prices.
Prices
We are the largest home furnishers
in the Northwest, which fact enables
us to buy our goods at a much lower
price than If we were smaller and did
not have such a large output.
Buying in such large quantities as
we do, enables us to quote you very
cheap prices on home furnishings. For
instance, here is a large Mission style
bookcase with two large glass doors,

BISCUITS FOR ONE CENT

Do you know you can bake hot>bis-
cults for breakfast every morning of
your life for the small sum of one
cent? There is only one way you can
do so, and that is by using a gas
range, one that does not consume
much gas. There is only one gas
range made in America that will bake
biscuits for one cents worth Of gas,
and that is the Direct Action Gas
Range, so-called because the flame
comes in direct contact with the oven
and not through heavy steel plates as
in others.
In an ordinary gas range it is neces-
sary to first heat the oven for about
twenty minutes, which will cost you
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1905-03-19

much more to do than with the Direct
Action Range to finish the baking.
This range was awarded the Grand
Prize and Gold Medal, Worlds Fair at
st. Louis, nineteen hundred and four.
Go see for yourself just how easy it
is to bake with these ranges, then let
US put one in your house for 81 down
and 81 week, and we will make the
gas connections free of charge.
In case you are not so fortunate as to
have gas, you can still have biscuits
for one cent if you get one of the cele-
brated Reliable Vapor Self Generating
Gasoline Ranges. Absolutely no dam
ger of explosions, and light as quickly
as a gas range.
