The Identification of the Wahpeton man found dead

instead of hauling him to North Dakota on the way to
Canada, himself and pal travelled north after burying
their victim on or near his farm, quarreled, Elmer killed
and left in the wheat field where he fell, by the now dou-
bic murderer who proceeded on with the Johnson horses
and property.
A lodge of Good Templars has been organized here
with a membership of about Is. This move is considered
by the saloon element as boding evil to them at the cleo

license question will be an important issue as usual.
The dog poisoner has got in his annual yellow work
again, twenty-seven, including birddogs, grayhounds,
c~attledogs and housepets, having died while more are ex-

life hideous for quiet people by his awful incessant yell
ling the last few months also ate of the poison and died.
The poisoner visited every part of town, scattering bits
of poisoned meat from a sack as he went. The owners
put the loss at $500, others at a less figure. The heinous

Lads in the Water at the New Baths.

Attic the buildings at the new baths
on Hall 8 island will not be completed
for several days the baths are in use
to as great an extent as they are likely
to be this season. The formal opening
was set for next Saturday, but the boys
could not wait and opened the baths
than shedding their clothes. Realizing
shat the records were going to waste
Health Commissioner P. M. Hall sent
the books to the island yesterday, and
the man in charge opened the register.
From 2 o'clock until S, despite the
dark, cool, almost chilly day, there were
1914 boys on hand for swim. The reg
lister shows that the lads came from as
far as Twenty sixth avenue N in one
direction, and from Southeast Mime
that the boys took the matter into their
own hands there will be no formal
opening. .--..,. .s..sg. III.
The baths are attracting attention
from all sides. The Dayton Dry Goods
company has donated 100 towels of the
best quality and the William Donald
son company, thru l.; s; Donaldson, has
els and suits. DR.. Hall commended
both concerns and said the offers were
most timely. Ia.
The Commercial club has sent to the
council communication recommending
that the estimates for the tax levy for
1906 include an item for three perma-
nent lighthouses. This has long been
a cherished object with DR.. Hall as a
sanitary measure. He wants at least
three public lighthouses, one each on
the South, North and East Sides. These
should be open every day in the year
and should be free except for a nominal
charge for towels and suits, if a swim
ming tank is provided. Such institu-
tions, he thinks, would materially as
sist in preserving the public health.

LOCAL MEN DELEGATES
TO RECIPROCITY MEET

Minneapolis is represented at the Ma
tional Reciprocity convention, which
opened in Chicago today, by delega-
ton of five consisting Of W. s. OWN
nell, George H. Elwell, W. D. Wash
burn, Jr., E. J. Westlake and Asa
Paine. A general call to this conven-
tion was issued some time ago, and re-
plies indicate a large general attend
ance from all parts Of the country. Min
neapolis manufacturing and mercantile
interests are particularly affected, and
any reciprocity action that may be Sc
cured cannot fail to beheft.
The local delegation will follow the
discussion and participate in any action
that may be taken. The convention
can do nothing in itself, but may be
the means of starting reciprocity agi
tation that will bear fruit. The Com
mercial club had charge of the loca]
arrangements, and the Minneapolis del
egation was chosen by the public affairs
committee.
The same committee has also inter
ested itself in the bathhouse question
and will ask the city council to levy 9
special local tax next year in order that
three new public bath houses may be
provided. The matter of location is
left open, that the houses may be placed
where most needed when the time
comes to build them.

INSTITUTION GETS A LOCATION
ON THIRD AVENUE S.

located in an upper story of brick
business block at 228 Washington ave-

and commodious quarters in the Judge
Hicks house on Third avenue s near
Eighth street. ~ s.e n. III. IL.
At joint meeting Of the Women IS
Women's Christian association yester-
day, the two societies that support this
charity, this radical change was decid-
ed upon.
The scope of the work is to be great
ly enlarged. Instead Of furnishing
lodging only to women and girls who
come to the city as strangers, and who
need a transient home, breakfast and
supper will be provided at cost price,
homelike atmosphere.
The old location has been objection
able, because it is in a malodorous part
of Washington avenue, and girls going
out to meals have often been subjected
to insult Then the heavy traffic makes
the place too noisy for comfort.
Tbs Hicks house has ten rooms, is
entirely modern, has pleasant surround
ings, is q quiet avenue, and not distant
to reach the house will be cared for at
nearby hotels under the matron g care.
About $500 additional, yearly, will be
required, but this will be met, in part,
by the rental of rooms.

pointed superintendent. She is New

DRANK CARB0LIC ACID
WOMAN TEMPORARILY INSANE
FROM ILLNESS ENDS HER LIFE
WITHOUT A CRY.

Dependency and temporary insanity
caused by illness led Mrs. Robert b..
Hortenbach to commit suicide yester-
day afternoon by drinking a dose Of
carbolic acid.
She lived with her husband at 746
Adams street NE, and had been i'll for
several years. Recently she has been
laboring under the delusion that some
one was trying to kill her.
Early yesterday morning she went to
a nearby drugstore and purchased some
acid. Later in the day, she went quiet;
ly to her room, drained the bottle and
lay down on the bed to die. AS she
was taking the poison her little girl
came to the bedroom door and asked
what she was doing. Mrs. Hortenbach
replied that she was sweeping, and the
little girl went away satisfied. When
the husband returned for supper he
broke in the door and found his wife
dying on the bed. Physicians were sum-
moned, but her life could not be saved.
Coroner Kistler was summoned and
the. body was taken to an undertaking
establishment.

in working up. interest and promoting

"HANDS' ARE PLENTY
Low Railroad Rates Needed, Says La
Dor Commissioner.

"Men for the harvest fields can be
secured in plenty, says Labor Com
missioner W. H. Williams, "and there
is no occasion for the railroads to ap-
peal to the Commercial club Of Mime
apolis or any other club for assistance.
The railroads have the means them
selves to secure all the men needed.
Low rates will solve the problem. AS
1 understand it, there is a special rate
Of $3.50 to any part Of North Dakota,
where harvest hands are needed, but
what of Minnesota? A person can get
up a little fishing party and obtain
better rates than are given to laborers,
who are badly needed all over the
northwest to gather the crops on which
everyone, including the railroads, is de-
pendent. If liberal transportation
rates are available, the state employ
ment bureau can get the men.
'There is great lack Of system in
forwarding men from the cities to the
country towns, the result being that
some places are fairly swamped, while
others get hardly any. This could be
better managed if there were some way
of handling it all under one head"

Proprietor of st. James Hotel Was Mis-

- q
G. M. Stocking, proprietor Of the st.

statement given out at the capitol yes

of his mild protest to Governor John

inspected the st. James about month
ago. -ss
"The Inspector said Mr.. Stocking
went thru the hotel, pronounced it sat.
isfactory and drew his fee. Before de.
parting he left with me copy Of z he
law. When read it, I saw it required
that ropes in hotel rooms shall be
knotted every fifteen inches. Our ropes
were not so. fixed at the time for we
had not been advised that it was nee
estuary. I had the knots tied at once
and then wrote to the governor saying

HIGHER STANDARD NEEDED
SECRETARY OF BOARD OF PHAR-
MACY SAYS GOOD DRUG CLERKS
ARE SCARCE.

The twentieth annual report Of the
state board Of pharmacy has been is
sued by the secretary, Charles J. Moos.
The document covers ninety pages, Civ
ing an alphabetical register Of all phar-
macists holding state licenses, with
copies of the law regulating the prac-
t1ce OF pharmacy, and the records of
the board. In the report proper Secre-
tary Moos says: .r,.E
The supply Of good drug clerks, who
combine a thoro knowledge of their pro-
fession with an ability to sell goods is
far short of the demand. The main rea-
son for this condition lies in the fact that
the elementary education Of our pharma-
cists has been sadly neglected. A boy
from the sixth, seventh eighth grade
receives employment as an errand boy in
a drug store, later he waits on the soda
fountain trade and, after he has passed
the required number of years in the store
he presents himself for examination.
Very likely the store where he is en-
ployed buys most of it's pharmaceutical
preparations, j. the local doctors probably
prescribe mostly the so called proprie-
taries, the candidate failsy and Of course
blames the board by saying that the ex-
animation was purely theoretical and an
unfair test. However, it Is a fact that
most Of the applicants for registration by
examination during the past year re-
| cetved their poorest mark in the practical
part Of the examination.
If in some way druggists could be in
| duced to employ only such boys as have
had a good grammar school education OF
better STILL high school education, an6
colleges of pharmacy be induced to re.
! fuse admittance to students who do not
come up to the standard, there would
soon be noticed a marked Improvement ir
| the character Of the men engaged in the
drug business. =
tie responsibility when it certifes to the
| citizens Of this state that a. person is
competent to compound physicians pre-
| script1ons and to dispense drugs.
