MANS STRANGE ACTS
CAUSE HIS ARREST
Fears Unseen Enemies and
Puzzles Police by His
Wild Talk

Has Bernard Meliski fed from the
scene of some terrible crime, the MEM
ory of which has driven him insane, or
is he simply the victim of a hallucina-
ton, the result of an unbalanced mind?
This is a question the police are
striving to answer. Last night shortly
before 10 o'clock a man was arrested
at the Eagle hotel, 392 Wacouta street,
on account of his strange actions, and
taken to the central station, where he
gave the name Of Bernard Meliski. He
said his home was in California. Nell
ski was evidently under the impression
that he was being pursued and kept
he talked TO the officers at the station.
Feared Unseen Enemies
He appeared to be laboring under
the delusion that he had been sentenc-
ed to the state prison, although he re-
fused to tell why, and claimed he had
been swindled out of his home in Cali
formal by an enemy.
1T was a sorry day for me when /
came to st. Paul." moaned the man,
land if I had stayed in California this
would have never happened"
He refused to talk when further
questioned. A letter addressed to the
public at large was found on the mans
person bidding goodby to the world.
Says Farewell to Earth
A postscript written in scrawling let
ters, and evidently in a hurry, read as
follows:
Il don't see how the court could find
me guilty.
The man was locked up over night
and his case will be investigated to-
day. At the hotel it was stated that
the man had acted strangely ever since
he came, Monday noon, and would
stand in the office and anxiously scan
the face of every one who came in.
Last night he retired to his room and
wrote the letter found by the police,
and after he had finished called the
proprietor of the place and begged the
man to save him. Meliski is very dark
complexioned and is believed to be an
Italian.

state grant from the general govern
ment. Smith fought the selection
through the local and general land
offices, and his claim was finally dis
allowed by the secretary of the in
terror. The patent to the state of
Minnesota was recorded Oct. 19, 1904.
1t is alleged by Mr. Smith in his pc
tition that on Dec. II, 1902, when Dunn
was state auditor and land commits
sioner, he made a tender of $25 to
George A. Finn, then chief land clerk,
requesting that a mineral lease for the
tract be issued to him. This, he as
serts, was denied at that time and also
on Dec. 80, in the same year, when he
claims to have made another tender.
On the same day that his applica-
tion for the state license was last re-
jected Smith alleges that Miss Mabel
Evans, sister of /. c. Patterson, also a
land clerk in the office of the state
auditor, was granted a lease on the
same tract. He charges collusion and
asks that the lease held by Miss Evans
and her assigns be vested in him.

HOUSE MEMBERS SIGHT
LOBBYIST ON FLOOR
Ramsiund Spells Sensation by Intro
ducing Former Member

For ten minutes yesterday several
house members were confident that the
sacred liberties of the house floor had
been invaded by a representative of
the railroads Seated beside Repre-
sentative o. t. Ramsland's chair was
an elderly man, who wore gray
mustache and glasses.
Cy Wellington" somebody guessed.
But he's an. ex-member," the door,
keeper who had admitted the man told
members who demonstrated with the
official for admitting Mr.. Wellington.
'Cy Wellington is not an old mem
ber, a Ramsey county member in
sisted.
No one felt like going to Ramsland
and telling him that he had been inn
posed upon, and the visitor remained,
and was photographed with the house
by the two men who are going about
the country photographing the legis-
lature of the different states.
When the house had adjourned Mr..
Ramsland introduced his friend, who
was unconscious that his presence in
the chamber had created so great a
furore. He proved to be C. NJ. Reese,
a grain man of Minneapolis, and who
sat in the house many years ago as a
member from Kandiyohi county.

case without precedent came to
the attention of the fire board a few
days ago, when Thomas Foley. a stoker
at engine company No. 2, requested a
leave of absence for a day and a night
In order to become acquainted with the
duties of a position outside the de-
partment, which had been offered him.
Foley recently passed a civil service
examination as an engineer and-has
been offered position. He wishes to
work at his new job for a day and night
in order to see if he would like it. If
not, he asked to be allowed to retain
his present position. The matter was
taken under consideration at the meet
ing of the fire board last night, and
resulted in a new rule being adopted.
Hereafter any member of the de-
partment desiring leave of absence
TO try to better himself outside the de-
partment will be given leave of alb
sence, the length of the leave to be at
the discretion of the president, but he
shall not draw pay during the time he
Is OF duty. AT the end of his leave of
absence his old position will still be
available If he cares TO retain it.
The monthly pay roll of the fire de-
partment, amounting TO s16,092.10. was
passed and number of bills. Including
food for stock and incidental running
expenses, were accepted.
Steps were taken to have the annual
report of the secretary placed before
the city council in printed form in the
near future and a committee was ap-
pointed to carry out the plan.

FIRE BOARD TAKES UP
SCHWE|zER CHARGE
Alleged Failure of Enaines at
BannOn Blaze to Be
Looked Up

The charge preferred by Vice Presi-
dent A. j. Schweizer, of the board of
hre commissioners, at the last meeting,
of the board, to the effect that several
engines failed to work properly at the
Bannon fire, was taken up at the
meeting of the board last night and re-
ferred to the committee on machinery.
1t is said that engines No. 1, II and
did not come up to the expectations
of the fire department on the night of
the Bannon fire and that Nos. IL and
especially were of very little use dur
ing the greater part of the fire. The
trouble was said to have been caused
by the improper placing of the fire
CRATES, but at the meeting last night it
was decided to thoroughly investigate
the matter
Only four members of the board were
present, Commissioner Freeman being
out of the city, and Vice President
Schweizer objected to the investiga-
ton taking place until all the members
or the board were present. A motion
to that effect was overruled by the rest
of the board and a committee of three.
including President r. Warner and
Commissioners Clarkin and Kelly. was
appointed to commence the investiga-
ton not later than today. Mr.. Schwei-
Zer was appointed on the commit
tee, but declined to serve.

Finn Processes Ignorance

George A. Finn, who is made a de-
fendant by the action brought by Smith
in the Duluth federal court, lives at
399 Dewey avenue. St. Paul. He pro-
fessed utter ignorance of the bringing
of the action when seen last night
Il know nothing about the suit" he
said. The report that Pearl H. Smith
has brought an action to cancel the
state lease held by Miss Evans is new
to me. / know nothing about it and do
not care to discuss it. / do not know
who Coryate S. Wilson and B. E. Baker,
mentioned in the dispatch as code
PENDANTS with Miss Evans and the 9TH
ers, are. 1 have nothing whatever to
say regarding the suit
The Virginia silver case first attract
ed much attention throughout the state
from the hard fight waged by the state
to secure title to the property. Its
claim as swamp land was vigorously
disputed by Pearl II. Smith, who al
legged that the land could not be prop
erly classified as swamp, and If this
had been proven his claim under the
homestead act would have been valid.
The United States authorities uniform
ly held with the state and the final de-
NiSiOH Uy llt ScCISldIy VI the
confirmed the rulings of the local and
general land Office that the states
claim was valid.
The tract came dangerously near to
being an issue in the late state cam
paign. 1t was charged that Finn and
Patterson, as quasi state officers, had
exceeded their authority and placed
themselves outside a section of the
penal code in issuing state lease to
the sister of one of thens and when it
appeared that a few weeks after the
issuance of the lease they had be-
come interested in its benefits, the crit
les of the administration of Mr.. Dunn
as state auditor did not hesitate to
say that the transaction had an un-
savory flavor. The Mabel Evans lease
was discussed on the stump and in the
state press, and when Pearl H. Smith
in st. Paul threatened to bring AN ac-
tion to cancel Miss Evans lease ii was
openly asserted that the statement was
made only for political effect. The fill
ing of papers at Duluth yesterday ap-
parently settles the genuineness of his
belief in his claim to the valuable prop
erty. Smith is man of means and 1t
is expected that this is but the opening
of the second chapter in long series
of litigation involving the final own
ership of the immense ore bodies in
the silver like tract.

BILLS ARE HELD UP
Gandrud Starts Investigation
of Supply Items

Chairman P. A. Gandrud, of Kandiyo-
hi, will lead a movement before the
house committee on legislative eX-
penses looking to an investigation of
two bills for preliminary supplies fur
nished the legislature. One bill for
$1,000 from the McGill-Warner COM
pany for supplies has been paid, but
bill of $1,000 from Brown-Treacy-
Sperry company is pending, and the
chairman says 1t will not be paid until
some light has been thrown on the
real value of the articles sold the state.
He intimates suit to recover on the
bill already paid.
Mr.Gandrud for several days has been
looking into the two bills turned in by
the firms that furnished the stationery,
ink wells, waste baskets, fountain pens,
bill and journal files, etc, required by
the legislature in the first days of its
session. He said yesterday that he
believed a saving of $500 could easily
be made to the state on the bills, after
allowing a fair profit to the jobbers
filling the orders.

TOOK A STRAW VOTE
interesting Experiment in a Restaurant

interesting Experiment in a Restaurant
An advertising agent, representing a
prominent New York magazine while on
recent Western trip, was dining one
evening in Pittsburg restaurant
While waiting for his order he glanced
over his newspaper and noticed the ad-
vertisement of well known dyspepsia
preparation, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
AS he himself was regular user of the
tablets, he began speculating as to how
many of the other travelling men in the
dining room were also friends of the pop-
ular remedy for indigestion
He says: i counted twenty three men
at the tables. and in the hotel offf1e I
took the trouble to interview them and
was surprised to learn that nine of the
twenty-three made a practice of taking
one or two of Stuaft's Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal.
One of them told me he had suffered
so much from stomach trouble that at
one time he had been obliged to quit the
road but since using Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets had been entirely free from in
digestion, but he continued their use. es-
pecially while travelling, on account of
irregularity in meals, and because, like
all travelling men, he was often obliged
to eat what he could get and not always
what he wanted.
Another, who looked the picture of
health, said he never ate a meal without
taking a Stuart Tablet afterward, be-
cause he could eat what he pleased and
when he pleased without fear of a sleep
less night or any other trouble
Still another used them because he was
subject to gas on stomach, causing pres
sure on heart and lungs, shortness of
breath and distress of chest, which he no
longer experienced since using the tablets
regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets was the only safe remedy he
had ever found for sour stomach and
acidity. He had formerly used common
Soda to relieve the trouble, but the tab
let's were much better and safer to use.
After smoking, drinking or other ex-
cesses which weaken the digestive organs.
nothing restores. the stomach to a healthy.
wholesome condition SO effectually as
Stuart's Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the
natural digestives, pepsin, diastase. which
every weak stomach lacks, as well as
nux, hydrastin and yellow parilla, and
can be safely relied on as a radical cure
for every form of poor digestion. Sold by
druggists everywhere.

DEVELOPS FIGHT ON
ADAMS LUMBER BILL
Brief Debate Results i'm Tenn.
pOrary Setback for Uniform
Board Measure

Elmer z. Adams saved his bill re-
quiring standard measurements in
lumber manufacture from indefinite
postponement in the house yesterday.
but yielded to request that the bill
be not pressed for passage. Progress
was reported on the bill instead, and
it will be considered again on general
orders.
The debate was brief, but exciting.
Kari De Laittre, speaking for the Min
neapolis lumber interests opposed to
the bill, made his maiden speech in
the house. He contended that the mills
of Minnesota are in the Mississippi
Valley Lumbermen's association along
with those of Wisconsin, and that the
enactment of the proposed law would
impose a serious hardship on the Min
nesota mills.
The Saint Paul globe., 1905-02-22
Argues Against Bill

He declared that it would curtail the
product of the Minnesota mills from
so to 15 per cent, as the competition of
the Wisconsin, Washington and Oregon
mills would put the local mills out of
the running. Mr.. De Laittre said that
the Adams bill would increase the cost
of lumber manufacture 1212 per cent.
and were the bill passed no Minnesota
lumber could be sold west of the Red
river. He argued that the increased
cost would be put on the consumer.
Mr.. Adams replied vigorously: "Of
course the price could be advanced"
he said. Il admit that the lumbermen,
who have grown fat under the 81 pro-
lection given them by the protective
tariff, can advance the price. There
is no question that the lumbermen
have the power to advance the price.
So have the beef trust and every other
trust. But when the beef trust boosts
the price of meat it gives us 16 ounces
to the pound"
