TAKEN
OUT OF The CITY
.ss.VAGS'' FROM WORKHOUsE TO
WORK IN THE FIELDS.
They Are Sent to the Trains Under Po-
lice Guard and Given Transportation
to Farns-Little Work for Prisoners
to Do and Farmers Need Help.

Thru the cooperation of the munich
pal court and the state free employ:
ment bureau, Minneapolis has found an
effective method Of getting rid Of her
undesirable floating population.
The call has been sent out for men
to 90 to the harvest fields and as fast
as the orders for men reach the bureau,
the police will fill the positions with
husky men. Sixteen men were liberated
from the workhouse by Judge E.. F.
Waite today and, under police guard,
were escorted to the employment office
in the courthouse. There they were
furnished with transportation and short
ly before noon were taken to the Union
station and sent, out of the city.
The police guard remained until the
train had pulled out and the doors Of
the coach were locked until the train
was well under way. Most of the men
had been picked up on vagrancy
charges and sent to the workhouse to
keep them out Of trouble 81.
Work at the city prison, however, is
getting scarce and nearly half the men
confined from now until spring will be
kept at a dead loss to the city. Judge
Waite has expressed his Willingness to
let the men get out of town on their prom
Use. to remain away. The employment
bureau will see that they get SO far
away that it will be a hard matter for
them to get back and the. city is thus
probably rid Of them for good.
This practice will be kept up until
the close of the harvest season and the
scheme is expected to work to the adj
vantage Of both the farmers and the
city ~ i

Paul GEM and discussed the ques-
tlon whether a man s brain might be
active after his cervical vertebrae were
broken. GEM was certain he would be
conscious after his neck was broken. He
said to me:

wait about a minute; then I will close
my hands twice, then once, then twice
again. arrange this signal now so

looking at me can say that my move
ments are only involuntary twitchings.
When Genz fell after being ierked
into the air by the fall Of the weight,
his body stiffened. About three-ouar,
tiers OF a minute passed. Then GEM
clenched his hands twice, opened them
again. distinctly saw his pinioned
hands make the signal he said he would
give me. SO did six other men whom /
had told GEM promise of what he
would do. The horror of it was almost
overwhe Ginning.

Oliver w. Stewart, who is to address
the Bible conference at the fair
grounds on Friday afternoon and eve
ming of this week, has national repu-
tation as an orator and an effective
temperance reformer. For five years
Mr.. Stewart was chairman of the ma
tional prohibition committee. He was
elected to the Illinois legislature from
the Hyde Park district of Chicago on
the prohibition ticket and attracted
wide attention both of friends and foes
by his brilliant legislative record
While a member of the house his op-
position to the municipal franchise bill
created stormy. time. He was equally
conspicuous in his championship of the
county option bill, which was lost by
but one majority. The interest created
largely by his efforts among people Of
the state led to the election of three
more prohibition candidates to the
Legislature. Thru the efforts of Mr..
Stewart and his colaborers they hope
that thirty districts in Illinois will
elect prohibition candidates in the COM
ing election.
Many people outside of the imme-
date ranks of the ardent prohibition
lists will wish to hear Mr.. Stewart, who
is conspicuously great as a public
speaker, irrespective of his temperance
proclivities. The subject of his after
noon address is edible Politics. and

Police reserves were called out to
help in the. charge on the building.
Officers climbed up the front and en-
tered by the parlor window. Eleven
men were within and they made a
wild dash to escape. Two succeeded,
but the others were held up at the back
fence and submitted without struggle.
On the wall of one room was found
a telephone which appeared to have
been in use for some months. A tele-
graph instrument in the corner was
merely a blind, while the, walls were
covered with racing charts! ~. es1uo
All of the prisoners were stylishly
dressed, and the majority of them were
elderly, gray-haired men, who looked
like prosperous brokers' They chaffed
the police and declared they would be
set free in short order, but were locked
up for the night.
Many complaints have been made by
persons swindled thru the wire tapping
game, one man having lost $4,000 a

FOR The H0B0S
SALVATION ARMY LEADS MOVE
FOR FUMIGATION.
Asks Help of City and Charitable Or
ganizations-Plan to Put Clothing Of
the Wanderers Thru System Of
Publication - Health Commissioner
Favors the Scheme.

The Salvation Army has requested
Superintendent Barton of the poor de-
partment and DR.. P. M. Hall Of the
health department to aid in establish
ing fumigating house for the tran
silent element.
+ The army officers say that disease is
spread easily when one man who is
afflicted or has been Exposed to dis
ease is allowed to occupy room one
night and his place is taken by a
healthy person the next night. Most
Of the proprietors Of the lodging houses
are willing to aid in establishing such
an institution.
If it should be established every APP
picant for rooms at the rooming houses
and especially at the Salvation Army
building would be required to have his
clothing fumigated before being given
a room.
There would be no expense to the
transient, and if all the proprietors
would refuse to take in roomers wear
ing unclean clothing the general health
of tn city would be greatly improved:
In the fall and winter many men
come from districts infested with small
pox and other contagious diseases, and
often times they have occupied rooms
with the sick themselves. They enter
lodging houses here, and expose hun
dreds of others to the disease.
The city officials haev not taken the
matter up, but such an institution will
probably be established on small scale
this fall. If it is the expense, which
will be small will be shared by the sew
eral charitable organizations 80.

SENDS WIFE TO
!. JAIL FOR ARSON
Business Man Of Benidji Declares
He Will Show His Spouse
No Mercy.
Special to The Journal.

Spec1al TO 4Ae JouIHaA.
Bemidii, Aug. l6.-Mrs. Frank Sill
versack, wife of business man, lies
in the county jail, where she was taken
on charge. Of arson, the charge be-
ing preferred by her husband. She is
unable to secure bail.
Mr.. and Mrs. Silversack are well to
do and live in one Of the handsomest
houses in the city, and the arrest. has
caused sensation. It is, alleged by
Mr.. Silversack that his wife attempted
to burn both his saloon building and a
large barn in the rear of the property.
A blaze was started in each place..
The one in the saloon was quickly
extinguished, but the fire in the barn
gained some Roadway before it was
discovered and only a desperate effort
succeeded in staying the flames. Both
buildings are in one Of the principal
business blocks Of the city, and had
the fires secured fair start the loss
would have been heavy.
Mrs. Silversack denies the charge,
but her husband declares that he has
ample proof to convict her and that he
will have no mercy. There have been
bitter disagreements between the pair
for some months.
There are two charges against Mrs.
Silversack for arson in the first degree
and also in the second degree, the
combined maximum penalty for which
is thlrty-seven years

the striking telegraphers an answer to
his lengthy communication, outlining
the story Of the existing trouble. The
reply stated that Mr.. Hill Hdid not

Northern Pacific in Minneapolis, last
evening received a telegram from Gen
eral Manager Horn, to the same effect
that Mr.. Hill had refused to inter-
cede.
President Perham of the telegraph
ers acknowledged today that he had
received Mr.. Hills reply, but said ''it
would not be proper to tell the nature
Of Mr.. Hills note.' He thought that
the position taken by Mr.. Hill was not
necessarily final on MIR. Hill s part.
President Perham gave his reason for
not making public the letter from Mr..

might work disastrously in further ne
