SOLD SI0LEN. STAMPS
TO A BUSINESS MAN

Maurice Weisman, a young man en-
ployed about the Lumber Exchange, was
arrested yesterday afternoon on the
charge of robbing the United States
mails. Detectives Helm and Hansen
of the city police force made the ar
rest at the instance of the federal au-
thorities. @ ss,*}1a
The Lumber Exchange mail-box is Of
the mail-chute type and cannot be used
for parcels and the tenants Of the
building have been in the habit of
leaving bulky; mail outside the box for
the postman. For over a year packages
have been disappearing and a careful
watch has been, kept over them for
some time. {, Evidence, against. Weisman
was. secured and his arrest followed.
The theft was 1sade,. for the uncan-
celed stamps, osfen of considerable
value, which wereApon the, parcels, and
which area said to have been sold by
Weisman at reduced figure to a GER
tain Minneapolis business man. The
latter's name is known to the authori.
ties and it is likely that he will achieve
some unenviable} notoriety. Weismau
has been in this =: country only ten
months and it is thought that he did
not realize the seriousness Of his alleged
offense. He is being held at the central
police station for the federal authori

= It is the plan to get the new state
institution in operation If possible by

a f1reproof structure, contain a large
dining hall, and administrative quar-
tiers, and accommodations for thirty six
patients. 1t is hoped to ultimately have
cottages scattered among the trees in
the vicinity in which to accommodate
patients on the open. air. plan, who
may come to the main building for their
meals. Physicians of the state who are
taking special interest in this new hos
pital, plan to have it occupied by a
number of patients by. next fall, that
when the legislature meets the follow
ing. January it may be possible to dem
onstrate to that body the great benefits
to be derived from a consumptives' SAN

see the advisability Of making a large
additional appropriation for the erection
of other buildings to extent its scope
and capacity. s& .
The site selected for the building to
be commenced next spring, is on an
elevation of ground which commands a
beautiful view Of the waters of Cass

Homeless Cats and Dogs Would Be.

Gas tanks for the asphyxiation of
worthless stray cats, dogs and other do
nestle animals will probably be in

neapolis Humane society. A number Of
citizens interested in humanitarian work
have suggested the adoption Of this
method Of alleviating animal suffer.

approval Of the society officers and
every effort is being made to raise funds
for putting it into operation.
]. 1t is proposed to start with one tank.
It will be air-tight, made of galvanized
iron, eleven feet long, four feet FIVE
inches wide, and three feet high. It
will be connected with the city gas sup
ply. One large dog or six or seven
smaller animals can be placed in this
tank at one time, the gas turned on and
the prisoners sent to an entirely pain
less death. The installation Of one tank
will cost about $3.50.
'sThere is no doubt but that the
asphyxiation of stray animals IS the
most humane method of putting them
and the people they bother out Of mis-
ery,v said one of the society workers
today. ttThe I gas tank method has
been tried in many cities and has met
with :unvarying success and approval. ],
Heretofore we have shot the AMI
mails that were suffering or were abso-
lutely useless. That system, is costly,
inconvenient and at times barbarol.us5.
We have been in the habit Of keeping
MANY animals that would be better dead.
We cannot afford to provide feed and
man to take care Of them. The gas
death would be much more humane and
much less expensive in the long run.
Once we had a tank installed there
would be very slight expense.

advertised. If no one claimed them

which would be occupied as a barn and
quarters for the patrol wagon squad.
This would practically abolish the
tramp room, and all men who wanted
a night g lodging without paying for
it wcnld have to be charged with vag-
rancy Many men, however, who ap-
ply fer bunk are good, honest fellows,
Son etimes they come from other towns,
where they have worked, and their only
money is in check form. They cannot
get their checks cashed at night, and
there is no one who will trust them
for a bed. Many such men are dodgers
at the station, and the police feel that
it would be an injustice to make them
faceya criminal charge because of their
hard luck.
Chiefly for this reason, the tramp
loom will not be abandoned, and there
will always be a warm place for the
MIN who is stranded. No one will be
refused on his first application, bur

place, as more than half Of them do,

: A new departure in the field Of church
work has been taken by the general
conference of Swedish Baptists of
America in establishing a secular school
preparatory for the theological semi
nary of the conference at Morgan Park,
Ill, or any other college the graduates
prefer to attend. Primarily it's pur-
pose is to keep the young people Of
the church within the influence of the
denomination; but because the school
is undenominational and the tuition is
merely nominal, it is splendid oppor-
tunity for young people employed dur
ing the day to get regular academic
education at small expense.
Bethel academy, the new school, is
being conducted at present in rooms of
Swedish Elm Baptist church at 'Thir-
teenth avenue and Madison street NE.

Mongrel, Bobtailed Feline High Up in
Cottonwood Tree Is Banged at by
Policeman with Revolver-Hook and

But Finally Shotgun Does.

A mongrel, bobtailed cat that climbed
a giant cottonwood tree at University
and Thirteenth avenues Sc to get a
view of the city had the entire police
and fire departments in commotion yes
terday afternoon, to say nothing of the
anguish wrought among members of the
Humane society. The cat was finally
brought to the ground, but it took the
combined work Of the city officials and
a heavy charge Of powder and shot to
do it.
To make matters worse, it was a
black cat, and it climbed up in the
tree ON Friday night, the 18th Of the
month, Belated pedestrians were fright
ened on their way home last night at
hearing its meows apparently coming
from the clouds. Many had read Poe s
"Black Cat,' and their remembrance
of the old story made them take longer
and quicker steps.
Saturday morning some tender-hearted
goods at the university spied the un-
fortunate cat among the topmost
branches. There was Immediately bah

But kitty remained. Coaxing didn It

girls appealed to the Humane society,
but as none of the active members are
steeplejacks they turned the case over
to the police department. e=...>1 r5@
Patrolman Moran oiled up his re.
volver and started out to end the bust

Humane society was to give the remains
a respectable burial. Shot after shot
rang out, and crowd soon gathered to
give advice. But Moran found wide
difference between lively cat and a
porch climber, especially in size, and he
abandoned his fruitless target practice
