ROBBERS. VICTIM. DIES:
TWO SUSPECTS CAUGHT

Peter E. Raverty, special Waterman
for the W. W. johnson Lumber com
pany at St. Paul, who was shot. by safe
blowers early yesterday morning, died
at st. Joseph 9 hospital at II o clock
last night. Altho conscious after he
was shot, Raverty could give no de-
scription of his assailants.
Two men, thought to be the robbers
who shot Raverty, were arrested after
long chase near Point Douglas, Wis,
yesterday.
Police Superintendent O'Connor
learned that two suspicious-lookin men
had gone that way, and telegraphed
to Hastings to have them headed off.
They left the train at Hastings, as
expected, and took to the woods. An
armed posse of citizens followed them,
finally overtaking them at Point Doug

One man gave his name as James R..
Eagen, and said his home was in Oma-
ha. The other said he lived in Mis-
souri,. They had 44-caliber revolvers,
corresponding with the one with which
Raverty was shot. They were brought
back to St. Paul last night.

BILLBOARD SP0ILS HOUSE
ENORMOUS ADVERTISING DEVICE
WILL DEPRIVE POOR WIDOW OF
HER SMALL RENTAL INCOME.

1 In order that gigantic billboard,
adorned with faring posters, may be
advantageously located, a poor widow
must suffer heavy financial loss.
Two days ago an immense billboard,
fifteen feet high and about seventy five
feet long, was erected on an empty lot
at Ninth street and First avenue s.
Mrs. NJ. Murphy, a widow, who tries
to make a living by renting furnished
rooms, lives at Ill Ninth Street. She
has occupied the house only a few
months and just been able to rent her
rooms when the board was put up
What were hitherto her front rooms
and those that she got the most rent
for, facing First avenue, became dark
and unsightly. Already two of he,
roomers have told her that they would
vacate at the end of the week, as they
were tired Of looking at the fence ali
day. The board is only about eight
feet from the house and runs along its
entire depth, thereby not only shutting
off fresh air to considerable degree
but depriving the rooms on the lower
floor almost entirely of light.
The owner Of the land on which the
billboard stands were unwilling to talk
about the matter today. It is init
mated, however, that the big barrier il
due in a measure to unfriendly feeling
among some of the families affected.

SUFFERED AGONlES
WITHOUT ClGARETS
SLAVE TO ttNAILsn TAKING CURE
AT THE WORKHOUSE.
Woman Who Asked to Be Committed IL
!, Order to Escape from Bondage Tells
Her Experience Formerly Smoked
Five Boxes Day and Ruined Her
Health by the Excess.

A victim of the cigaret habit for
years and SO weakened by the effects
Of nicotine that she could scarcely
walk, Evelyn Roberts asked the police
to send her to the workhouse for treat
ment. She has been suffering untold
agony for several days without the poi
sonous solace of the "coffin nail,' but
the habit. The woman was sent to the
workhouse two weeks ago, after having
to be carried to police court.
When seen at the workhouse the
woman said the cigaret habit was worse
than any other. It was easily acquired,
the cigarets were easy to obtain, and
worse than all it was impossible to
leave them alone. AS complete state
Of intoxication can be produced with
cigarets, she says, as with liquor. Per
sons who are slaves to the little sticks
must have them regularly: If they are
deprived for five or six hours and
make the victim utterly drunk. After
that it will take several cigarets to
bring the smoker back to normal.
Five boxes of cigarets day was Eve
Ign Roberts record for more than two
years. She began to smoke because she
saw others do it, and in a few months
she was a slave to nicotine. She in
creased ner daily supply rapidly, and
| two weeks ago had to take to her bed.
Some one told her that they cured the
drug habits at the workhouse. She
| asked the police to charge her with vag-
rancy. The next morning she was
brought into police court. s@-,.s .
Spent First Night in stupor.
Bolstered up by a cigaret she stood
up and pleaded guilty. When she was
sinking spell, and when taken out at
the door Of the workhouse, she was un,
conscious. Not until early the next
morning did she come out of the
stupor.
Then began her suffering. Her only
wish in the world was to have cigaret
and she was deprived of this. Writing
and throwing herself about the room
until exhausted, she again fell to SLEEP
and on awaking was somewhat better.
For two weeks she has been improv
ing rapidly, and the drugs have brought
the nicotine out thru her skin. Attic
! still weak she. is improving and says
that already she has ceased to think OF
cigarets. She has more than two
months yet to serve, but will not ask
to have her sentence shortened. She
wants to be cured permanently, and il
willing to stay until this is effected.

THE PROPER THING TO
EAT FOR SUMNER

Make your food simple in the
summer. Try to establish for your
table different standard than that
of heavy plenty. The merest tyro in
dietetics knows that meat and fats
are not essential to the system during
the heated term. Most people under
stand, too, that we need less food
when the mercury is in the nineties
than when it is lowering about the
freezing mark.
Don't oyerWOrk your digestion when
it is SO hot that you spare the rest of
your physica! mechanism as much
hard labor as possible: and when you
fill your stomach give it something it
can take care of easily. The very
indications Of the season are SO many
finger posts telling what food is con-
venient for us at this time of the
year. Now is the day and the hour of
fruits and vegetables. Never are
they so plentiful, so cheap or so good
as In miosummer-and this is an
exception to the general rule which
makes things cheap and nasty or
delicious and costly.
So, eat vegetables. / do not advise
you to turn vegetarian, for we are, as
a rule, carnivorous enough to carve a
bit of meat for a relish, if no more.
For the benefit of those who think
work cannot be accomplished except
upon meat diet, no matter what the
season, l will repeat the statement of
an expert in dietetics, who Informed
me, good deal to my discontinue,
that one can work longer without
getting hungry on a meal of vegetables
than on one Of flesh. The latter is
rapidly digeSted, but meal of vege-
tables is said to stay by the eater for
six hours. [ dare say it's abiding
power varies with the rapidity or
slowness of the individual. eaters
digestive processes, but the mere fact
that it will linger by anyone for that
space of time is encouraging to those
who offer vegetables to their families
in hot weather. There is relief in
the thought that one can supply
craving nature and cut down the
butchers bills with the same action.
