CONVERTING SURELY CREEK INTO LARD.

There Is stagnant little stream in the stOckyards district of Chicago which finds it's ultimate outlet in the south branch of the Chicago river The packing houses have found thik stream convenient as Il sort of cesspoOl; into it they dump that part of the refuse of their slaughterhouses which can not by any known process be utilized in mak- ing up their marketable products. This refuse consists mainly of animal mat ter, and. as this putrefying material in the water gives off gases continual ly, which find their way to the surface scum in the wny of bubbles, the stream has come to be known by the name of "Bubbly Creek" Some time ago an enterprising German perfected a process for converting the scum into lard. This process is in use to-day. Bubbly Creek is regularly skinned, and the resulting produce is d fancy grade" of lard.
 While speaking of lard, let us take another case. A farmer of any ex- perience knows that. within q few days or week after the appearance of cholera symptoms among his hogs. he is likely to lose the whole herd. Not unnaturaliy. as mundane things go, his first though. on discovering cholera. is to rush the hogs to the stock yards and sell them before they die on his hands. If any reader of this article should be in Chicago. and if he should visit the stock yards. he could see where these diseased hogs are brought in by the carload. Those that have died in trail- sit are thrown out on the receiving platform. and the living are hurried off to the shambles. It would be worth his while to stand by the heap of dead hogs for little while. If he should do this. he would observe that the stock cars are soon hauled away, and that one or more box cars are backed in by switch engine. The hogs-dead from cholera-are thrown into the cars, and tha switch engine pulls out with them. Where, the read .er may ask. as those cars going to- Now. there is an obscure little town over the Indiana line which bears the imposing name of Globe. If the pack
 CTS were asked what they know abou, Globe they would probably say that they have established rendering tanks there for reducing diseased meat to grease and fertilizers. They would hardly add that lard is manufactured
 at Globe in considerable quantities. Success Magazine.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

One of the most attractive novelties
 that Manager POli has yet been able
 to offer on his circuit will be seen at
 the Jacques next week. when the Obersteirer troupe of Tyrolean war blers will appear at the head of the bill There are twelve people in the troupe, six men and six women, and they sing the folk songs of their na- tive land. .atlanee the native movements and show many of the native p;istimes of the Tyrol. Beautiful scenery show ing views of the mountains of the TyrOl gives an added pictiresqueness to the act and makes more startling the wild abandon with which the troupe give way as they sing and dance and cayort and thrum the stringed instru- ments of their native land. The Ober- steirers were one of the most charm and since the close of the fair Oscar Hammerstein and Manager Po!i have been exploiting them in vaudeville with extraordinary success. He feels thoroughly confident that patrons of the Jacques will find this troupe one of the most acceptable features yet of fered at this house. Another feature that is sure to make splendid i'm pression is the Millman trio of wire walkers There are two ladies and q man making up this trio and they ac- cOmplish the most sensational feats that have ever been seen on the tight wire in this city. Few acts shown in any of the POli houses have created such a sensation mixed with pleasure. and there will be found but one verdict concerning it when seen here. Howard and Orth have an amusing exchange of chatter in the lobby of vaudeville theater that will be found to rank up well with the two leading features. Harper.

THE KATE
TER KIDS.


 In these days of dramas wherein the heart interest" is upper1nost, and tears are the principal stock in trade; where foul murders, lynchings, collis- ions and explosions are the foundation of plots and cOunter-plots, it is a de cided relief to get away from the gruc- some spectacles and enjoy play that substitutes laughter for tears and mer. rinent for heartaches. There are no railway smash-ups, steamboat explo- sions, air-ship disasters; no one is mur- dered, robbed, held up or drowned and no bad boy kills his father and escapes punishment, in ''The Katzen- jammer Kids which will be the at traction at Poli's tomorrow afternoon and evening. On the contrary all is merriment, happiness and uproarious good humOr. Prices are 25. B and 10 cents. Matinee 15 and 25 cents.

HASCA TREASURER
CASE IS CONTINUED
Delay in Arrival of Papers Causes a
Postponement


The hearing In the quo warranto
proceedings by which Charles G. Mil
Ter, former treasurer of Itasca county,
and now acting treasurer, is ordered
to explain why he refuses to vacate
the office in favor Of Arthur A. Krem-
er, recently elected, was continued yes
terday in the state supreme court un-
til Thursday. Attorney General Young
explained that the papers in the case
had arrived too late to permit hear
ing yesterday.
No appearance was made on behalf
of the respondent Miller 1t is UNDER
stood, however, that he is holding Of
flee after the expiration of his term
because he believes, in spite of the re-
suit Of a recount, that certain dis
puted ballots referred to the Itasca
county courts will prove that he was
e-elected
On the other hand the people of the
county are unwilling to await a ju-
dicial inspection of the ballots, fearing
that the official bond of Mr.. Miller
might prove to be invalid should any
dispute arise as to the present ac-
,curacy of his accounts. For this rea-
son mainly, it is said, Attorney Gem
eral Young was requested to grant
the use of his name in quo warranto
proceedings for prompt adjudication
of the contest.

BABY'S FACE
MASS OF SORES
Ears Looked as if They Would Drop
Off Body Entirely Covered with
Humor Three Doctors Could
Not Cure Child Grew Worse.
CURED BY CUTICURA
IN TWO WEEKS

Mrs. GeorgeJ. steese, of 7oI coburn
St., Akron, Ohio. tells in the following
letter of another of those remarkable
cures of torturing, disfguring skin
humors daily made by Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment,
after physicians, and all else had
failed: 81 feel it my duty to parents
of other poor suffering babies to tell
you what Cuticura has done for my
little daughter. She broke out all
over her body with a humor, and we
used everything recommended, but
without results. 1 called in three doc
tors, they all claimed they could help
her, but she continued to grow worse.
Her body was a mass of sores, and her
little face was eaten away, her ears
looked as if they would drop off.
Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, and before L had
used half of the cake of soap and
box of ointment the sores had all
healed, and my little ones face and
body was as clear as a newborn babes.
/ would not be without it again if il
cost five dollars, instead of fseventy-fiye
cents, which is all it cost us to cure
our baby, after spending many dollars
on doctors and medicines without any
benefit whatever"

SAVED FROM FLAMES
Mlnnetonka Street Family Has
Narrow Escape


II. BerkoWich and family, 800 Min
netonka street, were routed out OF
bed late last night by fire that entirely
destroyed the building. Shortly after
IL O'clock Patrolman Kumrow noticed
smoke coming out of the windows on
the ground floor of the dwelling and
was about to step across the street
to investigate when the flames burst
through the windows.
Rushing across the street, the pa
trolman fired his revolver and suc-
-ceeded in awakening Mr.. Berkowich,
who reused the family. Clad only in
his night dress and carrying his two
small children, one in his arms and
the other clinging to his back, the
father fought his way through the
dense smoke down the back stairs an.s
out of a rear door. Mrs. Berkowich
followed close behind, but was almost
overcome by the smoke and was in a
fainting condition when she reached
place of safety. The family were
hurried to neighbor's, where they
remained over night.
When the fire companies arrived the
house was mass of flames and almost
burned to the ground. The building
was a story and a half frame and the
loss, including the furniture is about
81, 900.

MURD[ROUS SYRIAN
SHOOTS TO Kill
Theodore Broos Has Narrow
Escape While Crossing Rob-
ert Street Bridge


Theodore Broos, son of Matthias
Breos, Robert street liquor dealer,
had the narrowest kind of an escape
from death at the hands of a murder.
Gus Syrian on the Robert street bridge
about 10 O'Clock last night, according
to the story told by him to the police
Immediately after the occurrence.
Broos attended meeting of the
West Side Athletic club and at its con-.
clusion started to walk home. He was
hurrying along with head down and
had almost reached the center of the
bridge, when shot was fired about
fifty feet behind him. He heard a bull
let whistle and as he turned to see
who was shooting another shot passed
through the skirts Of his overcoat.
trousers and scratched Broos just be-
low the knee.
Two More Shots Fired
Then in quick succession came two
more shots, and he caught a glimpse
of the figure of the man who appar-
emily sought his life.
As the young man turned the assail-
ant started to run and managed to
make his escape. just before the flee
ing man reached the west shore Hem
ry Vorcoran, saloon man of lower
Seventh street, caught fair look at
him. Corcoran describes the man as
being very dark and having the fea-
lures of Syrian. The matter was
reported to the police.
Young Broos declares that he had
no words with anyone during the even-
ing that could possibly account for the
shooting, and says that he has no idea
as to the identity of the man who
sought his life.
Saw the Man With the Gun
He says that he did not realize at
first that the man was shooting at him
and continued a few feet until he felt
the shot Craze his leg. He then stag
gered and fell, but in falling turned
and saw the man with the gun He
describes him as being about five feet
nine inches TALL and of medium build.
He says he wore long overcoat and
gray cap pulled down over his ears.
The theory of a police officer who in
vestigated the case is that the Syrian
took offense at some joking remark
made by Broos at the club or after its
adjournment and deliberately tried to
kill him for it. This theory, however
could not be substantiated either by
the police or from Broos.
If the bullet had passed half an inch
to the left it would have gone through
the feshy part Of the young mans left
leg.

LOST RELIC FOUND.
Original Constitution of State
Discovered In Moving

Its outside covering musty and
soiled, but the paper carefully rolled
within in an excellent state of preser-
walton, the long lost original copy of
the draft of the constitution of the
state of Minnesota was found yester-
day by George B. Brown, chief clerk
in the Office of the secretary of state.
For years the whereabouts of the
original of the constitution of the state
had been a mystery. Occasionally old
settlers familiar with its adoption have
called at the secretary of states Of.
fee in the old capitol and asked to
see the constitution. They have been
told that the draft had been missing
for many years. and 1t had been given
UP as lost.
But yesterday it was found. In re-.
moving to the new capitol the records
Of the office were turned topsy turyy
and this SIS responsible for the dis
covery. In sorting out miscellaneous
records in the vault yesterday Chief
Clerk Brown came ACROSS roll Of
papers. Beneath the covering was
the original draft of the constitution
as bright and clean as the day it was
drawn and adopted, Aug. 20. 1857. ST.

ton as chairman OF the convention.
