RUNAWAY DASHES
AGAINST SIREE1CAR

A runaway horse dashed into an in
terurban car at Washington and Tenth
avenues at 7:40 am. today. The
horse struck with such force as to jar
the entire car, which was crowded, and
to ram his head thru the heavy iron
grating Of a window. None of the pas
sengers was injured and the horse did
not seem much the worse for his as
sault on the car.
The animal, drawing delivery wag-
on Of the Atlas Paint company, was
making wild dash down Tenth ave-
nue. S toward the river, and the car
was crossing on Washington avenue at
about half speed. The horse seemed to
be blind SO far, as the car was con.
cerned, for he did not check his speed
nor swerve from the path down the
center Of the street. The animal struck
the car at the third seat from the rear,
his head forcing in the window graf
ing, and fell in heap beside the car.
Miss Noes of 134 Maria avenue, St.,
Paul, occupied the seat where the horse
struck. 2JSE
81 was sitting on the edge Of the
seat, because of the strong draft from
the open window" said Miss Noes to
the conductor, and I suppose that is
how I wasn't hurt in the least. -
The horse was stunned for some min
utes, but later regained his feet and
was led off, apparently little the worse
for the adventure. - e..

MOTHER BRAVES FIRE
TO SAVE HER BABY

Mrs. J. Schammell, Mississippi and
Acker streets, St. Paul. thru motherlove
for her baby, proved herself heroine
during a fire at her home.
The Schammells live over saloon
Of which Mr.. Schammell is proprietor.
At S pm. yesterday Mrs. Schammell
lighted the gasolene stove in the kitch-
en- Of the fat. The gasolene flowed in
a. stream, which she could not check and
the stove was soon q mass of flames.
Mrs. Schammel1 seized the stove and
started down the stairway with it, the
only exit of the fiat. H.
At the bottom Of the stairs she was
obliged to drop the stove in the vesti-
bule, as her clothes were burning fierce
ly. The trail Of the burning gasolene
had started flames in the kitchen ana
the length of he stairway. Thinking
only Of her babe alone on the floor
above, Mrs. Schammell turned and ran
up the steps and thru the flames in the
kitchen. Selling the child, she made
her way to a window where ladder
had been left by some painters In
view Of a crowd on the street below,
She made her way down the ladder in
safety, with her child in her arms and
her clothes burning: Her face, hands,
and arms were painfully burned, but
her injuries are not thought to be dan
gerous. The baby was unhurt.
The building was damaged to the
amount Of $500 before the fire depart
ment extinguished the flames.

DECLARES COUNCILS .
ACTION WAS UNFAIR

John s. Fillmore, representative of
the Dean Ballot Machine company,
speaking Of the action of the council in
rejecting all bids for voting machines,
thinks the bidders have not been quite
fairly treated by the council. The
council called for bids and put the man
ufacturers to considerable expense pre-
pairing machines adapted tolthe peculiar
requirements of Minneapolis in the pri-
mary election and then, without inves-
tigating the merits of the various ma
chimes, decided to reject all bids and
drop the matter.
Mr.. Fillmore says he is not asking for
any better treatment for himself than
he would ask for others and he thinks
that after they had been put to extra
expense for the preparation of a ma
chine adapted to Minneapolis conditions
the manufacturers were at least emit
tied to careful inspection Of the ma
chine if not to an actual trial by the
purchase or lease Of few machines. 1t
is not necessary for the council to 90
to the expense Of equipping the city
fully with machines, but it might have
provided enough to gain valuable expe-
rience and make a practical test of the
devices offered. He thinks the council
were under obligations to do this much,
at least.

THE BAND" BUILT OVER
Newsboy Players Who Weren't In Ear
nest, Replaced by Workers.

When the Journal Newsboys band
makes it's next public appearance, it
will be practically an entirely new or
ganization. Under the direction Of
Professor Rummel, the new leader, the
band. has been thoroly overhauled and
many of the boys who were not good,
earnest workers have been replaced by
players from the large waiting list.
Places in the band have always been at
premium, so much so that even an
opportunity to get on the waiting list
has been eagerly sought. When he
first came to Minneapoiis Professor
Rummel began the careful training of
the waiting class with such good results
that when the "waiters were pro-
NOTED into the regular band they were
already very proficient on their re-
spective instruments.
The band is exactly what its name
implies-a band Of Journal newsboys.
The new organization is composed Of
smaller boys than those who were
asked to resign, but they already play
like veterans and are working to build
up an extensive repertory. Their de.
termination is such that by the time Of
the g. a.. r. encampment they will be
up along with the best records Of the
original band, and q credit to them
selves. ts

A Perfect
Breakfast

A perfect breakfast is
almost impossible with
out Malta-Vita. 1t gives
you real nourishment
and renewed vitality. For
Ma1ta-Vita is rich in nutrition
every nutritive element Of
the best white wheat and finest
barley malt extract. Maltese is
often prescribed by doctors to build
up the health and strength of people
with weak stomachs and poor blood.
In Malta-Vita the malt extract, mixed
with the faxed wheat, converts the starch
of the wheat into maltese and makes it
easy for even the weakest stomach to di-
gest and adds pleasing taste and high
nutritive value which cannot be found in
other breakfast foods that contain sweet
ening agents such as glucose. Try Malta
Vita with milk or cream or fresh fruit.
