VOTES ARE MISSING
Aldermen Unable to Order Pur-
chase of School Site

At a meeting of the board of alder
men last night the question of pur-
chasing the Seventh ward school site,
on oxford street, between Hague and
Selby avenues, for $780,. was delayed
owing to the fact that but eight of the
nine aldermen necessary for action
were present.
The sentiment of the aldermen re-
garding the purchase of this property
was shown, however, by the passage of
a resolution authorizing the purchase,
before it was discovered that only
eight aldermen We're present. Aid.
Bantz then moved to reconsider, and
to lay the matter over until the next
meeting, which was carried.
The amendment to the smoke ordi-
nance, providing for ten minutes in
each hour when smoke may issue from
chimneys, was upon motion of Aid.
Bantz laid over until April.
An ordinance was passed repeating
the three ordinances ordering the con-
StructiOn of street car extensions to
Phaler park, the Forest avenue line
and Concord street. These matters
were covered in the compromise agree
ment between the city and the street
railway company.
The territory for the impounding of
animals was extended by an amend
ment to the ordinance to cover that
part of the city bounded by Earl, Mary
land streets, Phalen park and Green
brier avenue.
The bid of McClain & Gray company
of $40 for doing the city printing for
the next six months was, upon motion
of Aid. Lynch, accepted, as it was the
lowest price offered.
A petition from the trustees of the
German Evangelical Lutheran, ST.
John Congregational and the trustees
of the German Evangelical Lutheran
Trinity church asking for the vacation
of Idaho street, between Dale and Kent
and Mackubin street, between Hoyt
and Nebraska, for cemetery purposes,
was referred to the committee on

WILD YOUNG MAN
STIRS UP LIVELY FUSS
Sheds His Clothing in Battery Park
and Keeps Everybody on the Jump

NEW YORK-F'rank Seeker did
queer things at o'clock last evening.
He is big, rawboned. fair haired la
borer. He had spent much of the aft
ernoon assuaging thirst at his home.
129 Greenwich street. AT O'Clock his
thirst vanished-but then he turned
himself loose.
Seeker. clad in undershirt, trousers
and shoes, trotted down Greenwich
street at a high rate of speed. Into
Battery park he Hoped. head erect and
snorting. He cleared settees at a
bound. In the middle of the park he
east off all encumbering clothing.
Fifty men watched him from afar.
Whenever he turned and looked to-
ward them the fifty men shrank back
But Seeker suddenly turned and fed.
The crowd ran after him, whooping
and hooting. They were all very brave
now.
Seeker darted into the Whitehall
building, at II Battery place He
plucked the fire hose from the wall and
deluged his pursuers with hot water.
They howled and fed. Policeman
Conley took a long look at Seeker.
then went out and tiptoed in by an
other door, crept up behind him and
threw him down.
Come on in here. you mush heads,
and hold himI" yelled Conley.
Eight men finally helped Conley In
hold Seeker. He tied and handcuffec
the festive prisoner, and when the
young man was started for Bellevue
hospital they had enough straps
around him for dozen trunks.

AFRAID OF FATHER
Runaway Girl Prefers Jail to
Returning Home

Rather than return to her home at
Winona, Augusta TosZ, 16 years. who
ran away two weeks ago, asked to be
locked up at the Jail or sent to the
state training school,.
Two weeks ago the girl disappeared
from her home and her parents were
unable to learn of her whereabouts I'M
til few days ago when they discov-
cred that she was in St. Paul. Yester-
day the girls father came to the city
and requested the aid of the police in
locating his daughter. She was dis

she has been employed in the laundry
department ever since she arrived in
the city. --t'--,f-,'-'s1 ;.
When confronted by her father
Augusta burst into tears and begged
the patrolman who had ACCOMPANIED
him to lock her up so her father could
not get her: Mr.. Tosz was advised to
leave the girl for few weeks and de-
parted for Winona alone

For the last week he has been at
tempting to secure a large amount of
money, but has been unable to do So.
The result is that the company is
forced into insolvency because a small
claim is not satisfied. Some of the
creditors of the Coe Commission COM
pany would be ready to dispose of
their claims for 100000 or more for as
many cents, but they have been I'M
able to make any settlement with the
concern.
Ii is said that one Grand Forks man
has been winner on all of his trades
to the amount of at least $4,000, but
has been unable TO secure a settlement
for $4,000, and men conversant with
the affairs of the company say that
for several weeks the company has re-
fused to settle trades and the failure
to keep it's agreements forced one firm,
the A. G. Dapron company of Mime
apolis, into bankruptcy, for it could
not secure from the Coe company the
money necessary to make good trades
which 1t claims to have made on it's
account
Hammond Has Record
Hammond came to Minneapolis lit
tie over five years ago and established
an office as the Coe Commission COM
pany. He extended the operations of
nearly half of the smaller cities of the
northwest and connections with Chi
cago, Detroit, Buffalo, New York, New
Orleans and other points where there
was any prospect for business.
At once he fell under the ban of the
Minneapolis chamber of commerce. He
was arrested several times on the
charge of gambling and the chamber
of commerce officials laid all sorts of
IN in m inn
of stealing quotations of the Chicago
board which he posted with great reg
ularity and almost as promptly as they
were displayed at the chamber of COM
merce. He could not be caught.
About this time he organized the indie
pendent Grain and Stock exchange. He
secured quotations from the leading ex-
changes of the city.
Chamber Starts Again
Finally the chamber of commerce de-
cided to put Hammond out of business.
George p. Wilson and his partner, II. V.
Mercer, are the attorneys for the cham
Der of commerce. They secured the claim
of Lawrence King of Redwood Falls, who
said he was unable to collect claim from
the local agent and they proceeded TO
garnish the bank account of Hammond.
The falling market OF week ago enabled
him to secure some ready money and he
was enabled to settle some trades on a
cash basis, and was not forced to draw
checks which would be thrown out of
the bank. But the stock market went the
wrong way and he was forced to the wall.
The visible assets of the company in
Minneapolis consist of Few roll top desks
and quantity of telegraph instruments
which belong to the Western Union tele-
graph company.
There was no SORROW on the floor of the
chamber of commerce yesterday morning
when it was found that the Coe Commits
sion company had been forced to the wall.

GETS IN WRONG PEW
Beer and Timidity Result in
Hurry Call to Police

William Smith, a coal HEAVIER living
at 1873 Smith avenue, was the innocent
cause of a burglar scare on North
Smith avenue last night. Shortly after
IL o'clock the telephone at the central
police station tangled wildly and an
excited person at the other end on
Smith avenue near Seventh breath
lessly informed the desk sergeant that
a real burglar was trying to get into
the house.
The patrol wagon left for the scene
In hurry and on arriving at the house
the police discovered Dow standing on
the front porch industriously kicking
at the front door and believing Justify
Tor Nora" Selling the supposed
burglar the policemen started to load
him into the wagon, but Dow entered an
indignant protest, saying he had right
TO Stand on his own front porch. By
this time the man who had telephoned
for the police cautiously opened the
front door and peeked out.
1t was then that the supposed bur-
glar was indicated, for the owner of
the house recognized him as a next
door neighbor. Dow said that he had
encountered several cans of beer dur
ing the evening and mistook his neigh
bor's house for his own.

AN EASY WAY
TO Keep Well

1t Is easy TO keep well if we would ONLY
observe each day a few simple rules of
health.
5. The. all important thing is to keep the
stomach right, and TO do this il is not
necessary to diet or to follow a set rule or
Dill OF fare. Such pampering simply
makes capricious appetite and a feeling
that certain favorite articles of food must
be avoided.
Prof. Wiechold gives pretty good advice
on this subject; he says: Il am 6S years
old and have never had serious illness
and at the same time my life has been
largely an indoor one, but early discov-
cred that the way to keep healthy was 10
keep healthy stomach, not by eating
bran crackers or dieting of any sort; on
the contrary, always eat what my appe-
tfte Graves, but daily for the past eight
years. l have made it a practice TO take
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal, and / attribute my ro-
bust health for a man of my age to the
regular daily use OF Stuart's Tablets.
My physician first advised me to use
them because he said they were perfectly
harmless and were not secret patent
medicine. but contained only the natural
digestives, peptones, and diastase. and
after using them few weeks / have
never ceased TO thank him for his advice.
/ honestly believe the habit of taking
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is
the real health habit. because their use
brings health to the sick and ailing and
preserves. health TO the We'll and strong"
Men and women past fifty years OF age
need safe digestive after meals to in
sure a perfect digestion and to ward of
disease, and the safest. best known and
most widely used is Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets.
They are found in every well regulated
household from Maine to California, and
in Great Britain and Australia are rapidly
pushing their way into popular favor.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, full sized packages at SO cents,
and for a weak stomach a fifty cent pack

pany and announced that the company
could not satisfy an execution for
s344.S3, the amount of a judgment Sc
cured in the municipal court by Law
renee King of Redwood Falls, who
claimed he could not secure a settle
ment with the agent at that place for
deals which he had made.
Then a notice was posted on the
doors to the effect that all trades would
be settled at the present market price
by order of the receiver"
The action of yesterday marks the
elimination of fight of over five
years with the Chicago board of trade
and the Minneapolis chamber of COM
merce on one hand and the versatile
and reSourceful George ]. Hammond on
the other.
Hammond organized the Coe Com
mission company. The country never
has seen anything like it. With offices
in rs cities in the country, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific; with leased
telegraph wires, hundreds of telegraph
operators and office employees, he has
been conducting his business with all
the regular exchanges of the country
arrayed on the other side.
Markets Go Wrong
The wheat boom broke him. Wheat
scared. He advised his patrons TO be
"bulls"-to buy wheat.
They did so. Wheat went up and
the men closed out their trades and
made large profits. Every time the
price of that cereal advanced a cent
Hammond lost a large amount of
money.
The axiom that when wheat goes up
stocks go down did not avail him.
Hammond tried to recoup his losses
by being bear in stocks. He sold
short in stocks and the result was he
was caught between the two specula-
tive mill stones.
In addition, he had the regular ex-
changes of the country working against
him, seeking to put him out of bust
ness because he was "bucketing" and
not engaging in regular trades.
For five years he stood the strain,
but the end came yesterday. and the
ticker and telegraph instruments stop
ped as soon as the receiver took pos
session ard announced that all trades
were closed
Has Been Hard Pressed
Hammond has been in bad shape
financially for some weeks. Ten days
ago his bank account was garnisheed
because he did not make good some
the effect that he had been forced TO
the wall. On Monday of last week
wheat dropped over cents This put
him on easy street" for a time, but
the claims accumulated and the attor-
news for the creditors tied up his ac-
count in the First National bank and
the other banks as soon as he had es-
tablished a line of credit and made
some deposits.

bundles of afternoon papers about 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and when
they reached St. Peter and Fourth
streets young Kahlert saw long
turkey feather lying in the gutter. He
picked it up, and the boys threw 1t
back and forth a few times. The
feather was balanced with rolled bit
of paper, and in the course of the
rough treatment the paper became dis
lodged and the boys found that the
paper attached to their plaything was
a letter.
They unrolled it and discovered the
letter that is printed herewith.
Writing Is GottschaIk's
How Gottschalk was able to get the
paper out of the Jail is a mystery, but
il is conceded that the writing is his.
At the Jail it was shown that the
prisoner could not by any possibility
have thrown the feather and the paper
out of the window from his cell, as the
windows are not only barred, but
screened with wire, through which the
meshes appear to be not more than a
half inch wide. If he threw it out of
the Jail window il must have been dur
ing the daytime, when he is allowed
to exercise in the corridor. Even then
il would be extremely difficult to throw
1t out.
In the letter he denies killing Schin-
deldecker, but the charge that seems
to hurt him most is the one of being
an ex-convict. The only important
statement he makes is that he never
denied that he and Hartmann were
fishing.
Not Badly Treated
The jail officials say that Gottschalk
wrote a letter to his father and it was
mailed according TO his request. They
say that there is nothing in his state
ment that he is badly treated in the
Jail, and declare that while he is al
lowed very little liberty he is in no.
wise abused.
Paper similar to that upon which the
letter was written was known to have
been In Gottschalk's cell. and it would
have been possible for him to secure n
long turkey feather like the one used
from the buster used in cleaning up
the cells and corridor.
The police are still searching for
Hartmann, but naturally have little to
say pending an arrest. No new evil
dence of value was discovered yester-
day. but IL is said that today there is
likely to be an Interesting development
made public.
