IN A LOCAL DRUG STORE

People passing the Voegeli Drug store
at Hennepin and Washington avenues
have been attracted by a man of I'M
usual and striking appearance, who oe-
cupies one of the windows. This is Pro-
fessor H. T. Calver, whose personality is
no more unique than his peculiar adver-
Using stunt. Professor CalverS is
handsome man possessed of a young,
ruddy face, clear eyes and a great
wealth of flowing white hair, which
hangs far down his back. He is of Eng
lish extraction and is unable to account
for the character and color of his hair,
as both his parents were brunettes. Pro-
fessor Calver is known as the celebrated
paper king. For years he has travelled
the world over in pursuit of advertising
different drugs and articles of COM
meree. At the present time he is ex-
plotting the merits of Newbro's Herpi-
eide. Professor Calver is most ingen.
ious in making all manner CT novelties
and designs from ordinary pieces of pa
per, which he folds and tears quickly,
producing remarkable effects. He will
remain at the yoegeli Drug store during
the remainder of this week,

How It Is Done.

The revelations before the interstate
commerce commission show that dozens
Of high officials Of the Pennsylvania
system received presents of stocks from
coal companies. One division superin-
tendent confessed to having received as
gifts stocks which pay him in dividends
$4,000, twice his salary with the road.
What did he do for these stocks?
To get the answer one must 60 back
step. The deal began with the incep-
ticn of coal company. To do that all
that was necessary was to get an option
upon available land. A company is
tentatively formed and the land taken
over either upon purchase or lease.
Bonds are issued which are sold in the
market at par since they are bearing 5
per cent and are guaranteed by some
strong moneyed men who are in the
deal. Then the stock is issued. Part
of this goes as bonus with the bonds
and more is distributed among the rail-
road superintendent, chief clerks and
operating men who are in authority.
Presto! the new company gets sidngs,
gets cars and its product is readily
: bought by the railroad. Of course the
stock pays dividends. If it did not
the sidings would soon be in bad repair
and the supply Of cars run short.
The corollary to this testimony is the
statement of the vice president of the
! Pennsylvania that new openings were
discouraged and sidings refused to
many operators on the ground that the
coal supply should not be unnecessarily
increased. With too much coal in
! sight the price might fall and this cal,
d. amity the, Pennsylvania undertook to
prevent at any hazard. But it should
! be noted that the people who were dis
+ couraged from opening new mines and
! who got few sidetracks and hardly any
! cars were those short-sighted citizens
: who had failed to distribute dividend
! paying stocks among the magnates OF
, the Pennsylvania system.

controversy over this point grew 50
fierce that they were unable to proceed
on the journey and returned to Abdara
to submit the question to arbitration.
The opinion Of various citizens was
asked, but no agreement reached. The
controversy spread until it finally in
volved the entire citizenship Of Abdara
and led to permanent divisions of opin-
ion about this and other matters, 50 that
the people Of Abdara came to be divid-
ed into two factions-the one known as
the "shads' and the other as the
"asses.'
We make our divisions in municipal
affairs very often on lines just as ridic
ulous and absurd, when we choose alder
men with respect to their views on the
tariff and mayors with regard to their
position on the question Of ship subsidy.
No wonder Sir Andrew finds Ameri-

The American Puzzle.

Sir Andrew Mcdonald, the Scotch
baronet who paid us visit
the other day, has been in Kansas City
recently, and speaking Of municipal af-
fairs. after further opportunity to study
American institutions, says the Ameri
can cities puzzle him, particularly Chi
cago. He says: "Your American peo
pie are the keenest and most capable
business men in the world; you have re-
duced commerce from an adventurous
enterprise to a science, and yet you
seem utterly helpless when it comes to
managing city, He was talking in
Kansas City, and cautiously added: II
am speaking now of Chicago, Of
COURSE and then went on to describe
Chicago's badly kept streets and her
lawful streetcars." When he asked
business men why they stood it, they
said it was bribery and that they could
not help it, and then the canny Scot
shook his head in amazement at the in
capacity Of the American in municipal
government. "You talk of municipal
politics. said he. "Why should there
be politics in municipal government?
In Scotland I am liberal unionist, but
I work side by side with conservatives
and socialists in civic matters for the
common good. I am sorely puzzled
about such a clever people being SO fool
ish." And no American can give him
reason; that is, q satisfactory one.
It reminds one of the story of Alb
dara: It is related that a citizen of
Abdara hired an ass and its driver to
take him on a journey. After they
had travelled some hours, they stopped
during the heat of the day to rest, and
the traveller sat down in the shade Of
the ass. The driver objected on the
ground that the traveller had hired the
ass. but had not hired his shadow. The

A New York letter to the Philadelphia

Gear for a Day.

All Iowa is hanging breathless on the
the decision of Fred N. Kretschmer of
Dubuque. It may rest with Kretsehmer
who shall be the next governor Of the
Hakweye state, Cummins or Perkins,
and nobody knows how Kretschmer is
going to decide.
The Dubuque man is a candidate for
state treasurer, and has been on the
Cummins slate. The county convention
Endorsed him, and as further evidence
of confidence in him, left the selection
of the county's twenty-five delegates to
him. The Perkins-Blythe forces are
now flirting with Kretschmer, and are
reported to have offered him an appoint
ment as United States marshal in return
for those twenty-five delegates. The
fight between Cummins and Perkins is
going to be close, and the twenty five
from Dubuque may tell the story, one
way or the other. Kretschmer has not
named the delegates yet, and seems to
have taken to the woods for reflection.
He may stay with Cummins and get the
state treasurership, or he may flop to
Perkins and get the federal job.
Out in the green spring woods some
where Kretschmer is probably pulling
the petals off blossom and murmuring
to himself: "Cummins- Perkins-treasur-
Observation-Disclosures, which shall
it be?''
Meanwhile the people Of Iowa are
waiting to hear their fate. They don It
care two straws for Kretschmer, wheth-
er he gets either job or neither, but
Kretschmer has those twenty votes,
and he is going to deliver them where
they will do the most good.
| Nice system, isn't it?
