Temperance Women Want President

Pittsburg, Pa. Sept. 1A.-The Allie
glieny County w. G. r. U. at It's meet
ing yesterday afternoon took UP the
question Of investigating President
Roosevelt, who has been accused OF
receiving sixty bottles Of beer from n
brewers association. Not only his.
but the say they have heard
Mr.. Roosevelt also had II letter of ac-
c%eptance and thanks sent to the brew
ers, and that 1t was written on White
house stationery.
The opinion of the w. c. T. L.
was that this should not be passed
over lightly. 1t was the contention Of
some that a resolution OF regret and
censure should be passed at once. but
this was finally voted down and the
decision reached to give Mr.. Roosevelt
a chance to clear himself. Perhaps
the newspaper stories, 1t is averred,
were not true. A committee was APP
pointed to write Mr.. Roosevelt asking
for an explanation.

Hunters Wanderings Prove Ac-
feasibility of Great Central
Lake Country, B. G.
ROTTEN POTATOES SAVE LIFE
antonio Delponte, of Cumberland, for
Whom Search Parties Were Look
Ing, Wandered Five Days and
Nights In Frantic Condition, Before
Discovering Farm House.

Victoria, b. c., Sept. IA thrill
ing hunting season adventure Is re-
ported from Alberni, where, with shoes
almost dropping from his bleeding
feet, clothing that was merely a maze
OF rags and t~atters, and the general
appearance OF a wild man, Antonio
Delponte, of Cumberland, succeeded in
dragging himself up to a farm house
at the head Of the Alberni valley. Be-
tween wolfish bites at food placed be-
fore him, he explained that he had
been five days and nights lost in the
bush. Meanwhile, several parties had
been searching for him.
Delponte's adventure was curious.
He left Cumberland for a hunt, maxi
ing for the mountains east Of Ash lake.
In the thick bush Of that neighborhood
he unconsciously crossed h divide
and wandered over to the Great Cen
trail lake side Of the range, and there
became utterly confused by the count
less small streams and dense under
brush. Day followed day, II losing
all sense OF locality or direction, Del
fponte, famished and frantic, pushed
deeper and deeper into the wilderness.
The fortunate discovery of a few rotS
ten potatoes in al abandoned prospec-
tors cabin came In time to save him
from sinking. Shortly afterwards a
grouse fell to his gun and was eaten
raw, and with better strength Delponte
turned south
On the evening Of the fifth day out,
the distant sound Of a shot came to
the ears of the lost hunter, the first
evidence Of human habitation. At AL
berni he received every kind attention.
The fact that, deceived by the cross
ing of the mountains, Delponte ira
versed all the UNEMPLOYED country be-
tween Cumberland and Alberni in five
days and nights Is a matter of marvel
to bushmen, who can explain the pos
sibility of such a performance only by
the strength OF semimadness. Delponte's
Accomplishment, however, contradicts
the accepted theories as to the mac
feasibility OF the Great Central lake
country, and prospecting in that local
ity promises to be much stimulated.

C,ean and Handy Fuel.

An ingenious housewife has to a GER
tain degree overcome the pressing
question Of fuel. She took four com
mon bricks and placed them in a pail.
Over the bricks she poured a gallon Of
kerosene oil and let them stand until
they had absorbed all the oil they would
take up. Then she took out two of the
bricks and placed them in the kitchen
range and set fire to them. They burn
ed fully two hours, and h fire that
they made was one by which it was
possible to do any kind of cooking or
other work requiring considerable heat.

Mistaken for a man of wealth, James
Wood, 3148 Pleasant avenue, was
beaten and robbed early this morning
by three desperate highwaymen, who
followed him for nearly three miles.
Mr.. Wood was, down town with some
friends until late last night, and when
he started home he noticed that three
young men were following him. He
boarded the, car, as did the young men,
but as they did not look at him he
thought no more of them until he
alighted from the car at Nicollet ave-
nue. and Thirty-second street. He no
ticed that the men had alighted from
the car also and were following him.
At this he decided to avoid an en-.
counter and started to run. The thugs
did the same and ~overtaking him, began

, ITS WORK.

lions-The Board Of Education Is
Accorded Generous Recognition and
Can Now Do Things.

on a valuation Of $l3S, 508,O99, the
Hennepin county board of tax levy to-
day fixed the tax rate for Minneapolis
at a29.302 Mills, including ward taxes,
which will yield a total of $4,058,0 $50.
These few figures represent in concrete
form the entire work Of the city as
sessor's department, the city board OF
that portion of the state board OF equal
ization's work relating to Minneapolis
for 1905. The rate for last year, IN
Guiding the average for ward funds,
was 1856 mills. AS there has been only
a limited increase insthe assessed valua-
ton Of the city, the increase in the
actual amount OF money to be ralsed by
direct taxation for 1906 is not 100000
greater than the sum appropriated for
this year. -. - r
The school board fares unusually
well. With a levy Of $50, it's one
mill additional from the state tax and
it's revenue from other sources, the
board gets within. $40 900 Of what it
asked and it asked for everything that
the school directors could think of. 1t
will have a revenue of about $~I,20O,OOO
for next year. -
The police department was fairly well
treated, provision being made for TWEEN
ty additional policemen. The street
lighting fund for which $500 900 was
demanded was cut to $2S0,oOO, but if
that is not sufficient for the incande-
scent lamps, the aldermen will have no
hesitancy in taking what they need
from other funds.
The lighthouses were cut out right
and left, except a trivial 81 1900 for en-
larging the Gerber baths on Hail.
island: The police and fire stations
for Minnehaha and the new engine
house for the milling district were cut
out. The paving and sewer estimates
were not altered. THE park board and
the library board received all they
asked, the appropriations being the
maximums for those departments. In
fact there was scarcely any cutting, *
cent in the few items indicated.
The valuation for Hennepin county
including Minneapolis, is OFT
and on this basis the county will con-
Tribute 1921, 800 to tie state tax, $780,
73O to the state school funds and $780,
900 to the county revenue.

various funds and departments with the
amounts which they will yield on the
basis of the assessed valuation for Min
