the more enthusiastic element was
out in it's usual strength.
BY o'clock people we're commenc-

the Jewish population was in a condi-
tion of panic and terror throughout

mission appointed by Emperor Nicho.
las to investigate the causes OF the
Syeaborg and Cronstadt mutinies have
found that the blame was largely attri-
butable to the negligence and ineffi.
cheney of the officers. 1t is consider
ed probable that several of the latter
will be tried by court martial as re-
suit OF the investigation, An idea OF
the lax disciplin prevailing at Sveas.
borg fortress may be formed from the
fact that the officers allowed the agi-
tators who organized this mutiny to
live In the barracks with the soldiers
and distribute revolutionary procla.
nations. The sedition which perme.
ates the whole fortress, artillery as
well as the engineers and other spe.
c1al branches Of the service, is con.
sidered to be mainly due to the license
allowed the agitators.

HOLD DOCTOR AND DICKINSON:

second degree is the charge preferred
against Dr.. E. E. Gadd and H. B. Dick

yeney 6 Jones and Sullivan & Sullivan
tains for his defense George Sander
son. 20

by Deputy Sheriff Johnson, DR.. Gadd
was calm and apparently but little dis
concerted. He came to the court house
with his brother, saying little until
his attention was called to a news
paper reporter.
Damn the newspapers" was all he
said.
The bonds for DR.. Gadd we're signed
by j. A. Carver, Jr., NJ NJ Keller and
relatives from Mitchellville. An effort
was made while waiting for his rela-
tives to get J. A. Carver. Sr., to sign
the bond, but he declined.
Dickinson was noticeable disturbed
when taken into custody by Deputy
Sheriff Ash He had been confident
there would be no Indictment return
ed against him. His little wife, who
has proven loyal to him in his trouble
and had every faith in him, was almost
prostrated by grief.

Leader. XII /. .,s

Richard O'Connor, known in st. Paul
as the Boss. and "the Cardinal, -
he who for years has been political die
tator of all things political in St. Paul,
contemplates leaving Minnesota for
good and all next September. This is
the story which is being passed around
in political circles in ST. Paul, and
which seems to have emanated from a
statement to this effect made to
friend by O'Connor himself.
O'Connor is member Of the sue
cessful st. Paul brokerage firm of
o Conner & Van Bergen. The story
is that he will go to New York, to
open, and conduct personally an office
on Wall street, at the same time main
tanning the St. Paul Offices Of his firm.
,O'Connor is reported to be million
saire, and those who know his ability
predict that If he continues in politics
when in the east, that Tammany hall
may before many years have to
acknowledge new leader in the person
of the Minnesotan.
The plans seem to be for Ed L..
Murphy, Of the St. Paul board Of pub
lie works, to! succeed to O'Connor s
throne in st. Paul, but there are many
skeptical enough to say that there is
no other man who, can ever fill the
O Conner shoes. For. years his word
has been law in St. Paul, and it is
doubtful whether any one can succeed
to his personal power and influence.

DROWNING OF DOGS is

Complaint Is Made that City Dogcatch-
ers Are Too Open in Work Of De-
stroying Surplus Canine. -. =

The city's method of drowning stray:
dogs and dogs picked up by dog-catch-
ers and unclaimed, has caused consider
able unfavorable comment. 1t is stated
on good authority that the drowning
of dogs is treated as an entertainment
by school children in the neighborhood
Of the Twentieth avenue N bridge and
several complaints on that score have
been received by the Minneapolis HUI
name society. .
Drowning is not the best method Of
putting the dogs to death, -. said the
secretary Of the society. For a
, small outlay the city could buy
syringe and enough solution of nux
vomica to kill large number of dogs.
The operation is simple rapid and pain
! less We are going to take the matter
up with the city authorities and see
whether they will not adopt this meth,
. cd of putting the animals out of the
way. In the next few months our So
ciety hopes to have new animal home
and then we will ask that all of these
stray animals be turned over to us SO
that we can dispose of them in the@most
humane manner 49, f.' ::

SALVATION ARMY TO
HELP SAN FRANCISCO
POTS USED IN HOLIDAYS WILL BE.
SET ON CORNERS.
Money to Be Raised to Be Turned Over
to the Minneapolis General Fund for
~. the Stricken City-Effort to Get the
Pennies, and Nickels and Dimes, and
Larger Sums Not Refused.

Acting for the Salvation Army in the
absence Of Brigadier j. w. Cousins,
Staff Captain W. H. Gooding Of the in
dustrial department has arranged with
the committee in charge Of the San
Francisco relief fund to aid in collect
ing money. Va ~, = ~ ss-<.. u
THE "pots,'' SO familiar at Christ:
mas time, have been placed at points
of vantage about the. streets, and pla-
cards and the Salvation -lassies in
charge will explain to the public the
use which will be made of the money
collected. 1t is hoped in this way to
accommodate people who are anxious
to contribute to the relief of the San
Francisco sufferers, but are deferred
by the smallness of the sum which they
are able to give from sending it direct
to the, committee. ..... = So. g.:
All the money collected in this way
will be turned over to the committee
and go to swell the Minneapolis fund,
as the army is acting merely as g. col
lecting agent. In addition to aiding in
the work of collecting the army has
already contributed SIS to the relief
work. .,.4...
Of this sum $50, from the provincial
funds, was sent by Brigadler Cousins
direct to the, Salvation Army officer in
charge at San Francisco, where money
is sorely needed to get the disorganized
corps in shape to aid in the work of re-
lief. The remaining $25, contributed
by Staff Captain Gooding in behalf of
the industrial department, went to the
Minneapolis fund.
