HILL WILL HEAD
OFF ELECIRICS
IMPROVED SERVICE NORTH OF
MINNEAPOLIS PLANNED.
Fast Trains to Anolka, Elk River, st.
Cloud and Little Falls Said to Be
Contemplated by Great Northern
President as Check to Possible Trolley
Extensions.

Following the announcement that the
Great Northern railway and the Min
neapolis & st. Paul Interurban railway
are to clinch next summer and fight for
the Minnetonka business, comes in
formation to the effect that the rivalry
is to be carried into other territory.
Mr.. Hill, it is said, is planning to
take the initiative with a view to head
ing off any Lowry trolley extensions to
the north. From a close source comes
the information that the Hill system
will establish an improved service north
Of Minneapolis, beginning with the
lines leading toward Fargo: This serv..
ice will include Anoka, Elk River and
St. Cloud, and possibly also Little Falls.
Falls is 10S miles, and in addition to
the, four larger cities, there are sew
eral smaller towns in the intermediate
territory. - -@1s
For some time there has been gem
eral feeling that the twin city electric
system would eventually branch out to
the north. It was also believed that
jectiye points. There are three power
Minneapolis. in any one of which the
Lowry interests might be Indirectly in
terested. By establishing a frequent
rapid train service thru this country the
demand for trolley would be consid-
erably lessened. a
Mr. Hill is also said to have his eye
on the ball as far as the Duluth-Su-
perior business is concerned. He now
has the business too well in hand to re:
lish any invasion by electric lines, and
it is, said will not allow it to be- COB,
bled without fight. The first expense
Of constructing new lines thru his ter.
ritory would be very heavy. With the
property he now has, he could, at small
expense, increase the service to such
an extent that the business would be
more than cared for.
Whatever his plan may be, it is said
be established from the twin cities
north as far as st. Cloud by another
year. =. =

DR.. WHEELER IN
HIDING in CITY
POLICE CONVINCED HE HAS NOT
LEFT MINNEAPOLIS.
Search for Missing Practitioner Is
Being Carried on with Renewed En-
ergy-Two Women Patients Also
Wanted by Police Extensive Baby
Farm System Believed to Exist.

\ !, ~ 2 + r-s
New evidence in possession of the
police has arounsed them in their
search for DR.. Willard Wheeler, who is
wanted to answer for the death Of
Mrs. Minnie Kossander. There is now
little doubt that the missing physician
is hiding in Minneapolis.
The police, altho not openly con-
firming this, will not deny it, and so
close a watch is being kept that the
arrest is expected as soon as the grand
jury has looked into the case. It is
now now known that DR.. Wheeler had more
than one residence in Minneapolis,
and these are being looked up today.
An informant, whose name is not made
public, has said that the fugitive is
at present caring for patients inside
the city limits
A search is also being made for the
two women patients who were hastily
removed from the hospital at 60 Sixth
street Sc Monday morning, when DR..
wheeler was convinced that there was
T. trouble pub . ahead for him They ~ were 81
not yet been 4oun d ri The detectives
have chung to the theory that if these
patients could be found, DR.. Wheeler
would not be far off, as It would be
to his advantage to see that no more
deaths were laid at his door.
Several Wheeler Places.
The search for these women may I'M
cover a large and most successful baby
farm scheme. Not long before the
death Of Mrs. Kossander, DR.. Wheeler
is said to have maintained hospital on
the Cedar Lake road. The utmost Sc
crecy was maintained regarding its ex-
istence. This place is said to have been
used for out-of town patients, especi:
where DR.. Wheeler's record is also be.
ing investigated Some Of his Mime.
apolis patients are said to have been
| taken there, and it is believed that
| another lyingin hospital is maintained
| by him in that city. Both Of the miss
ing patients are secreted somewhere il
the twin cities, as they were in pre-
carious condition and needed expert at
! tention. 5,,~.

Mr.. Edutor:

darn glad to hear from me, cause
you hain't herd from me since the
last time. No you hain't.
I've jest bin thinkin' that all of
them spring poets of yourn have
migrated mighty erly this spring.
[ hain't heard twitter from any
of tn EN-, and this is such fine wealth
er 1t pears to me that them song
sters of yourn aught to be jest
Dublin over with rims bout the
grass and buds and sech things.
When [ was grain on the farm
the poetry would flow out of me
like water out of a pump every
spring. It's funny this fine wealth
er don't effect sum of the poets in
here the same way.
I remember one spring day a
few years ago when [ was enjoying
full range of the farm, [ discovered
the cider Darrell, and then straw
and played sucker. You talk bout
poetry, I rote ten hull sheets bout
an old cackling hen and took it
down to a cheese factory and had
it creammated.
It was a mighty good thing that
the public didn't get that poetry.
Yes it was. 1t was too rich, they
coodn't stand it.
By the way, this spring weather
does give a Teller the feelin' to be
out side, and TIL bet my chances
to be president against an old grey
mule that if sum of them chaps of
yourn were out side exercising on

you so much poetry that you wood
half to work over time at the crem-
atory. Yes you wood.
Now, Mr.. Scribe, pleas don't
tell them fellers of yourn that's me
who's ritin, cause my life insurance
hain't paid yet and I'm busted.
Yes I am.

with Jack, generally means a mix

smoothly till Dan relieved me at
midnight. I was hardly in my
bunk when. I heard a scuffle on
the poop. Coming up the COM
panion way to see the fun, [ found
Dan in fight with Pat Mallory
''I'm an Irishmsn. Yes call

ing We better manners than to

Dan reached for Pats nose
with his piledriver. but instead of
making soft landing, Pat nearly
broke Dams arm with a Delaying
pin. This took some of the ag-
gresslveness out of big Dan, and
for several days he didn't appear
to notice the men or whether they
did their duty
Before we passed Holly Head,
Dan reasserted his supremacy.
He had three more battles. When
[ took the deck at four a. M, Dan
had his head bandaged up, and [
thought Pats face looked like a
much be-stamped envelope. Was
the vessel kept clean? Well, the
men took about an inch off the
decks with the hollystones. The

The ValOna'S Mate.

The bark Valona was one of the
worst ships [ was ever on. While
standing outside of the shipping
office in Liverpool one bright June
day J. heard call for crew.
stepped up with my papers and in
about ten minutes 1 was signed as
second mate. Within another ff.
teen minutes 1 was on my way tc
Garston where the ship Valona
awaited her crew, with Blue
Peton to the fore. Yes, sir, a
tough ship. The mate was a chap
by the name of Dan McHafferty
He was from St. Johns, Newfound-
land, and was big six-foot-three
red whiskered giant, with voice
like fog horn.
We were Jolly crew with only
one greenhorn aboard out OF
eighteen foremost hands, and he
was an Irishman-Pat Mallory.
When eight bells sounded all
hands were called aft and Capt.
Collins ordered the steward to pass
the grog, The mate, McHafferty,
then jumped on the taffrail and
addressed the men about as follows:
"Now look a-here, you men. I
wants ye to understand that yes
are on deep-waterman. I noticed
no songs getting under way. [
wants livery one to sing whilst
pulling halyard or straining on
a capstan bar. Yes hear me?
Yes in Nova Scotia man and I'm
the mate, and dog bite yes ears, I
wants livery man to jump when I
spake. This ship is to be washed
down at eight bells livery morn
ms watch, brass works shining,
decks white and rigging tight.
Yes hear me? And say, if there
be my foighting to be did, I'm
your man."
[ stood beside this fire-eater
during the speech. Casting my
eyes over the faces before me I
was not surprised to see frowns and
threatening looks. Some Of the
men we're hitching up their waist
band in q peculiar way, which,
