Chicago, Aug. Sir. D. Hubbard, a

guest at the Auditorium hotel. was
found dead in a rooming house at 81
Wabash avenue shortly after 9 o'clock
last night. and the police are holding
Mrs. Nellie White, proprietor Of the
place, pending an investigation.
Hubbard was found by the White
woman, who at once summoned DR..
f. C. Winans and DR.. f. A. Metcalf.
They found the man had been dead
for some time.
After a consultation they refused to
issue a death certificate and notified
the police of the Harrison street sta
ton.
Detectives McCaffey and Hughes
were sent to the place. They found
the mans

said he had come to the place with a

and ran out OF the building. The

the young woman's name.
She then notified the clerk at the
Auditorium hotel, after which she
summoned a physician. The latter

Story Is Altered.
After the White woman was taken
to the police station she changed
somewhat her version of the story OF
Hubbard's death. At first she said the
who was with Hubbard when
he entered the place left the building
without saying anything to her.
When questioned by Lieut.. Duffy at
the Harrison street police station she
said that the woman had told her that
Hubbard had fallen to the floor. She
says that she went to the room and
found Hubbard unconscious. The
woman knew that the man usually
registered at the Auditorium and she
notified the clerk there, who called
Doctors Winan and Metcalf.

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS,

Several phases have a part in de-
pressing the real estate figures, as COM
pared with those Of several years ago,
when the boom was on. In the first
place the values are now on low rock
basis. instead of an inflated one True
comparing with the figures of other
cities which have like conditions Of
prosperity, population and business.
For this reason, had the transfers re-
corded this year covered the same
properties as were decided ten years
ago, the total registration would not
have been much lower than that Of
the former date.
Another reason for the comparative
small 9hat Ha of Of aPs5s is the
Of small lots Of land. The single lots
sold at $1,000 and under are numerous.
While the sum total is not impressive,
nevertheless this is considered one Of
the most desirable forms Of real estate
activity. 1t means many new homes.
Other reasons are the fact that spec
ulative buying is not vigorous. Prop
critics are sold at real values, or less,
ppa aGs 1 ef f 4ReR hanas under w
time considerations named in deeds do
not always represent real values, but
inflated ones. Again, annual invest
ment buying Of large properties is not
heavy yet. It has been scattered over
several years. The total is a fair fig
ure, but it does not count up much for
each year. Still another phase is the
fact that some Of the best transactions
are on lease basis and do not appear
in the records as transfers.
The lease Of the Lillibridge estate
and the Fletcher property on Seventh
street between First and Second ave-
nues S to w. L. Harris, for the New
England Furniture & Carpet company,
is an instance. While Mr.. Harris bought
good deal Of property for the site, he
leased more than half. The First Ma
tional bank has leased the Fifth street
and First avenue corner belonging to
the Mcknight company. This would
have made a good sale, but does not
appear as such. The list is a long one
where these conditions prevail. This
is good phase, however. Investors
such as S. T. Mcknight, J. E. Andrus
and others, are thus being recompensed
| for their heavy Investments, and their
faith in Minneapolis realty as an IN
vestment is being Endorsed.
| While the numerous large deals, such
as the heavy purchases near Eighth and

might be enumerated with edifcation,
and the sale of the Warner corner at.
Nlcollet avenue and Fourth street to
the Palace Clothing house, it is suffi-
Gent to say that it is very hard to Sc
cure downtown corner by purchase.
The market is practically cornered by
the far-sighted investor. Good dwelling
sites are becoming scarce, and it will
soon be necessary to open new districts.
Trackage property has to be created
also to fill the demand, as is illustrated
by the Boardman syndicate IS plans for
the six blocks between North Washing

and now absolutely refuse to sell,

Ing good degree Of Confidence s # Is
for local confidence that the real estate
agents have pleaded for decade. Now
that it is secure, one long step has been
taken toward placing Minneapolis
realty on a proper basis of valuation.
In the Minneapolis real estate mar
ket today the decks appear to be
cleared for action. All those condi-
tions which have caused the market
to drag for SO many years are removed
sales in the spring. Continued invest
ment will be a feature early in the
! season, and it is not improbable that
the slight indications of the specula-
tive feature may grow into lively
market. Many hundred dollars has
been made this year by the small in
weston who has been able to double his
money in twelve months. This posi-
bility Of Investment for quick returns
trading in real estate will be comfort
ably lively.

HEALTHFULNESS OF MINNESOTA

Minnesota ranks among the most
healthful states in the union, as st.
Paul and Minneapolis do among the
cities of the earth. In 1900 the twin
cities stood at the head of the list
among the cities of the Union in having
.. death rate Of II to the 1000. Ply
sicians recommend the climate to those
suffering from lung and throat troubles
and malaria Invalids should come in
the spring and summer. The soft and
healing summer air, with its tonic in
creased by the delightful Indian sum-
mer air of the fall months, prepares the
system for the exhilarating atmosphere
Of the winter. The delightful sunshine,
the fishing, rowing, sailing, hunting,
riding, and other outdoor exercises and
sports aid in building up the system for
the bracing treatment of winter. Every
want has been anticipated by good no.
tells, with educated and competent ply
sicians at call. Those who prefer to
camp out can find places innumerable
on the margin of fishing lakes with
timber all about and wild berries and
flowers at command. All that Mime
sofa asks is to be seen.

to note the increasing number of per-
mits for the erection of fine residences.
Lowry Hill and Park avenue furnish
the best instances at the present time
of this class of dwelling. It is neces-
sary to detail only a few to illustrate
the point. For instance, the Swan Turn
blad mansion ISL on Park avenue, the G: J.

fray, j.. R. Brooks, j. B. Hudson, E.
Pennington homes in the Douglas. ave-
nue. and Mount Curve district, and the

tendency to make more Of the landscap-
premises is another evidence of the
great growth Of the city. This is the
case III the Lowry homestead on Grove
land terrace, the Clifford raindrop brick
manson gong up on Clifton, the George
Partridge home, with it's new Italian
gardens, the Morrison estates adjoin-
ing the fine old Washburn grounds at
the top Of Washburn hill, and the Frank
FOrnYan country home overlooking the
waters Of Calhoun.
The great extent Of the season s fiat
and apartment-house building corrobo-
rates to an extent the report in the re-
cent state census that Minneapolis had
been growing rapidly in: the last five
years towards the 100000 mark in pop
ulation. The duplex house fever is at
its height, and its popularity Of style is
vouched for by the ease with which the
builders have contracted for their
spaes 9ng term 5eases oz Ths M
venture at Twenty fourth and Nicollet
in this line, has been justified with re-
markable quickness in the demand for
it's new dwellings by :" the best peo-
been Of the better class. The accom-
modations offered in them call for a
higher rent than the average fiat build
ing Of ten or twelve years standing.
Possibly one Of the most FAVORABLE
straws showing the growth Of the city
is the list of church permits, One of
the notable instances is the Trinity
Baptist church at Lincoln and Bryant
avenues. This structure, designed by
the Keith company, is a gem Of old
English adaptation, and yet it is made
to conform to the demand for mini
mum expense in sthe elimination of
spires and APPENDICES at ore time, in
Minneapolis, considered necessary to
proper ecclesiastical construction.
