Pedestrians Have Series of
SpaSmS,


ST, LOUIS, Oct. 17.-John Sentiff,
a driver for the Phoenix Powder Mills,
on the bluffs six miles west of Belle
vile, caused excitement by driving
through Main street, Belleville, seated
on a wagon loaded with fifty kegs of
powder and smoking cigar Busine.s
men and pedestrians on the streets no.
ticed the incident and telephone bells
at Central and West End Police sta
tons were kept busy for fifteen min
utes and the police kept busy answer
ing calls notifying them of the man,
the wagon load of powder and the CT
gar.
Policeman Joe Bux forced Sentiff to
throw away his cigar. He then placed
the man under arrest and conducted
him to central station. Chief Nebeg
took Sentiff before Justice Wangelin,
but as there was nothing in the stat
utes to cover the carless act the man
was discharged. The Phoenix company
was notified Of the affair and informed
that a repetition of sucn an act as
Sentiff's would result in an order pro-
hibiting the company's wagons on the
streets of Belleville.
Sentiff said he did not consider that
he was committing a grave offense,
as he had wet blankets between him
and the kegs of powder.

Thomas Cannon Of Oakland Boiled
In Bath Tub.
QUEER ACCIDENT IN BARBER SHOP
HASTEN TO MANS
ASSISTANCE BUT ARRIVE
TOO LATE.

OAKLAND, CAL, Oct 17.-Thos D.
Cannon, an Oakland real estate deal
er, So years of age, died in the bath
room Of the Plaza Barber shop Mon
day Afternoon, after having badly
scalded himself by plunging into boil
ing water. His skin was literally
cooked, falling from his body in
places, but is thought other causes
than burns contributed to his death.
Cannon came to the barber shop
shortly before o'clock and was
shown to the room. Nothing was
heard of him until j. w. Kendall, in
a bathroom adjoining the one occupied
by Cannon, hear groans. Thinking
that something must be wrong, he
climbed up and peered into Gammon's
room He saw the unfortunate man
trying to climb out Of the batntub of
scalding water, but was apparently
too weak.
AS Kendall looked, Cannon sue
ceeded in climbing from the tub, but
fell to the floor. Kendall hurriedly
gave an alarm, but by the time at
tendants had succeeded in breaking in
the room the man was dead. His re-
mains were conveyed to the morgue
where an inquest will be held.
Deceased was well known in Oak
land. He lived at Central and Fruit
vale Avenues, Fruitvale, and is sur
vived by two daughters.

SEATTLE, Oct. 17.-Not even In
death was that peace at once per-
mitted to Alfred Christensen which
might recompense him for the suf-
fering endured in fatal illness. A
sudden slump of a hearse wheel into
a hole on the wretched thoroughfare
from the mortuary chapel, the over
throw of the driver, the quick panic
of the usually sedate horses, and the
coffined remains of the unfortunate
young man were sent hurting along
in their sad vehicle as the team plung-
ed over, through and among the thou
sand obstacles on lower Third Ave-
nue..
With crash that would have arous-
ed any but the dead, the Keeling hearse
plunged into collision with a laundry
wagon and a brewery wagon near the

pavement, when a dozen ready hands
seized upon their brides and as many
voices sought to sooth away their
causeless fears.
Wreaths and other offerings Of flow
ers, the last gifts of bereaved friends,
were strewn along the course of the
runaway. Within the hearse the coffin
was cast askew and other floral trib-
utes bent, torn and scattered in wild
confusion. Down the street came hur-

takers, gasping in anticipation of a
still more gastly finale in the posi-

The British Trade Union council by
a practically unanimous vote has decid-

that there Is stiff contingent Of Labor

things are different, and the question
may soon become burning one. Dis

It will be watched with interest in this

BETHEL WILL BE HELPED
Endowment for Settlement House Is
Object of Entertainment.


The gift of Judge E. S. Jones fur
nished lot on which the present Bethel
settlement building was erected in 1888,
and the recent gift Of Charles S. Pills
bury and John s. Pillsbury made the
new Pillsbury possibility, and now
there remains one great responsibility
to secure an endowment fund for the
maintainence Of new building.
AS a mean to this end a musical en-
tertainment with an address by Govern
or Johnson is to be given Friday even
ing, March 80, at Plymouth church.
The new site for the settlement at
Fourth street and Sixteenth avenue S
does not take the work away from the
barren, crowded neighborhood, where it
has blessed and frightened the lives of
countless numbers Of men, women and
children since it was started by Mrs. H.
A. Stimson, twenty seven years ago.
1t will still remain in, vicinity
where rents are as high as i'll Chicago s
most crowded district; where incomes
are small and uncertain, where ill-nour
ished bodies and crowded, ill-ventilate6
rooms encourage sickness, where there
is little money for even cheap outings
or pleasures and the temptation to evi
amusement is on every hand.
The men and women of the neighbor
hood are now working hard to carr
money to furnish some of the rooms il
the new building, and the board of di
rectors are endeavoring to secure tn
funds necessary to carry on the broad
ening work.

SCOUT AND ACTOR
DIFFER AS TO ART

The issue is Joined. 1t may lead to
shooting affair and it may get no fur
Their than a war Of opinions. The prin-
cipals are Captain Jack Hart, who
criticized the trappings Of an act at
the Orpheum, and E. FREDERIC mix the
Ky Hawley, who is playing "Held for
Ransom at the Seventh street home
of reformed variety.
The first potshot came when Captain!
Hart said that Hawley's business
was bad, that the girl didn't know
enough to shoot when she had the drop,
that Hawley' 8 greaser trappings smelled
of the harness counter Of a department
store; that Hawley shouldn't strike
matches upon the suburbs Of his trous-
ers, that his boots. squeaked, etc.
Today Hawley has drawn his trusty
Colts and fountain pen and in a letter
to The Journal answers the criti-
cisms Of Captain Jack. Following are a
few Of the shots which he takes at his
critic: "
He also speaks of how they should
be struck, On the Barrel of his Six
Shooter If he ever tried to light one
on the Polished Surface, he would see
how foolish it really would be, and as
for striking it on the rowel of his Spur,
Nonsense. Greesers May do these things,
as they are capable of doing, what only
Cn0y WOu1u uO, DuG G1lS 1ie1u ID loo e'
Greeser; he plainly shows that he is
of the higher class of Mexican.
He also goes into the details of how
the Girl should hang on to her Gun.
Now had he noticed Closely, he would
| have seen that The Gun She carries, is
A a. Frontier six Shooter, Colts Make;
That in itself, is an Auful thing for a
Woman to pack, And next to Suiside
to fire, as the Recoil is A Turf article
for any one to go up against, had He
watched her closely, he would have seen
her hide it under the pillow. When
she finds that she is alone and at his
Mercy and then she does not run ano
get it, She is thrown straight to it.
Captain Jack is good shot, can hi
a sparrow half a block away with
half a brick. Hawley is determined tC
defend his honor as a stage greaser Of
purest ray serene. Any artillery prac
tice in the vicinity Of the theater zone
can be taken as an adjudication of Cap
tain Jack s first dash of dramatic criti
cism. Cyclone cellars are safest whe1
actors get to shooting and old-tim
scouts are upholding their honor. TIL
Skidoo is the popular move if one hear
the sound of shots.

ST. PAUL BESTS WILLMAR
FINAL HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE TO
BE BETWEEN MINNEAPOLIS
CENTRAL AND ST. PAUL HUM
BOLDT.

Willmar's high school debating team
made a praiseworthy effort last even
ing to score another victory in it's de-
bate, with the Humboldt high school Of
St. Paul, but the judges decided in ia
vor Of the Humboldts. The latter team
will meet the Central team of Mime
apolis in the final debate for the high
school championship Of the state.
The Willmar youths were well pre-
pared. Their delivery was Of high or
der and the contest was a close one in
every respect. They had great many
friends in the audience and did not lack
encouragement. They had the affirma-
tive side Of the question, Resolved,
That all elective state, district, county
and city officers should be nominated
by direct primaries rather than by dele
gate convention. This side was ably
presented by Victor Knutson, Carl ia
cobson and Henry Martin.
The Humboldt team was composed OF
Eugene Coyne, Benjamin Harmon and
Miss Belle Blumenfeld, who presented
the negative side in a logical manner
and readily met the arguments Of their
competitors.
The Judges were Professor o. P. Nc
Elmeel Of the state university, Profess
sor Franklin of Faribault and Professor
Kunze of Red Wing.

University
CLASSES DIVIDE HONORS
SOPHOMORES AND FRESHMEN
SPLIT ABOUT EVEN IN CONTEST
FOR PEAvEY-DUNWOODY PRIZE.

Honors are easy between the fresh
man and sophomore university classes
as result of the Peavey unwoody
the chapel, altho on the face of it the
sophomore orators bested their fresh
man rivals. Harold Deering, sopho
more, and q. L. Potter, freshman,
were tied for first place, according to
the decision Of the judges, and Albert
Evans, a sophomore, was awarded third
place. .a".
The Peavey-Dunwoody contest is an
annual affair open to orators from the
freshman and sophomore classes, and it
is always productive of great forensic
rivalry. Prizes aggregating $50 are
presented to the three orators ranking
highest.
Last night s contest was one Of the
best in the history of university ora
tory. Eight contestants were entered,
and, cheered by their classmates, the
young orators did remarkably well.
The contestants were Harold Deer
ing, z. L. Potter, Albert Evans, Jens
johnson, Albert Gilbertson, William
Davis and Martin Aygarn.
Determined that there shall be no
repetition of costly campus confagra-
tions, the university board of regents
will next summer install a new system
of water pipes and hydrants on the uni
versity grounds. This action will be
taken as result of the expressed opin-
ion of Fire Chief Canterbury that the
present system of hydrants is entirely
inadequate and that the destruction of
the old main building was due in a
supply.
The plan proposed by Chief Canter-
bury includes the laying Of l2-inch
pipes connected with the Fourth street
Sc main, and the placing of at least fif-
| teen hydrants in different parts of the
campus. At present there are eight by
drants on the university grounds, all
connected with six-inch pipes.
Plans for the new system are now be-
ing completed and it is estimated that
the cost Of the improvement will be
in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Phonetic spelling has been Endorsed
by the members Of the 1907 Gopher
board at the university and the ap-
proved list of words will be used in the
Gopher, which is to be issued this
spring.
An interscholastic track meet, under
the auspices of university authorities
will be held on Northrop field during
May. Every preparatory school in the
state will be asked to send an athletic
team for participation.

ciated Charities has been engaged tt
