of indictments was voted by mo grand
jury late yesterday afternoon, and
CONSERVATION reigns in the ranks OF
the grafters. Just how many indict'
ments have been returned, or who has
been caught in the net of the inquisi-
ton, is, of course, unknown, but it is
this uncertainty that adds to the I'm.
easy feeling throughout the city.
AS nearly as can be learned. the in
dicted persons are mostly county Off,
Gals, who have been implicated
through the confessions that have been
made by Otto Seidel and Edward F.
Strauss. In these confessions the vari-
Gus deals pulled off during the last six
years have been laid bare. They in
clude the alleged grating practiced in
the building Of the new county hospi-
tai addition, the new county morgue,
the letting of the various county con-
tracts and numerous other transac-
tons. 1t is said that no less than
twenty supervisors have been involved
in the confessions. A number of coun-
ty contractors are also said to be in
the net
Warrants Are Drafted.
The jury adjourned last night until
Friday, by which time the district at
torney will have had time to draw up
the warrants. The sheriff will be hand
ed the indictments on Friday, and the
various defendants will appear in
court on Saturday.
Strauss, the former supervisor, was
the only witness examined yesterday,
and to a large extent corroborated
what Seidel. had told the jury. The
jurors and the district attorney then
held a conference after which the dis
trict attorney was excluded from the
room and the vote on Indictments was
taken.
Special District Attorney Golf, who
has charge of drawing up the indict-
ments, was called before the jury and
received his instructions. The fact
that indictments had been voted soon
spread through the city, and there was
CONSERVATION, especially at the city
hall and court house.
Convict Is Silent.
Every day brings out new stories
about the investigation now under
way. For long time the district at
torney has been at work trying to get
ex-Ald. William Murphy to confess, but
without success. McGovern has an
idea that Murphy has Information in

house and has served part of his time.
Recently he was released and new
trial was granted him, which he is now
awaiting. During the last two days
there have been persistent r"mors that
he has decided to confess, but Murphy
denies that there is any truth in this
statement.
1t is believed that the grand jury
soon will take up the charges of cor
ruption made in connection with the
passage of the barber bill at Madison

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect bearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal con dition, hear
ing will be destroyed. forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Cstarrh
which is nothing but AL lnhamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

PROCLAMATION
Friday, April 28th, Designated by
Gov. Johnson as Arbor and
Bird Day.

Earnestly urging it general OBJ
servance, to the end that the natural
beauties OF the state may be enhanced
and preserved for the comfort and
pleasure, not only Of ourselves, but
of our children's chrildren.
With it's wonderful endowment of
climate, forest and field, there is no
reason why Minnesota should not
become the garden spot of the great
Northwest, watered by lake and
river, land nourished by sunshine that
is at once tropic and temperate in
its sweet luxuriousness. But the
steady depletion of our timber area
calls for constant reinforcing, and
nature. with Hebraic exaction, de-
mands a tree for tree, shrub for
a shrub, if she is to fulfill her part Of
the contract in making the wilder
ness rejoice and blossom as the rose,
Surely, then, Ii is meet and proper
that, at this season Of upspringing
blade and bursting bud, our people
should seek to further her purpose
and their own interests by the plant
ing Of trees and shrubbHry for civic
and rural adornment and shade.
And especially should the children
in onr hools be melted by program
and example to supply the lacking,
foster the weak, and train the strong,
among our friends the tree folk.
I, therefore, recommend that on
this day reaCi1g, recitation and ex-
ercise in the public schools have one
