WILL EXHUMFs BODY
Coroner Kistler Will Give Stranger Op-
portunity to Identify Remains.

Coroner J. M. Kist1er has ordered
the remains Of the unidentified man who
was found dead at Halsted s bay, Lake
Minnetonka, last October, cxhumed,
and they will be brought to the county
morgue tomorrow. sip
A well-dressed man and a woman
came to the morgue today and said they
were positive that the man found there
was a relative of theirs and that they
would probably be able to identify the
remains They refused to give their
names, but promised to return and care
for the remains. II
The man was found dead at the edge
Of the lake and no one was able to tell
who he was. Several persons had seen
him about the lake, but had never spok-
en- to him. The body was buried on the
shores Of the lake at the expense of the
county. 49, = ~ 1.-.r.<-

DARLING OF The
GODS TOO CHEAP
MANAGER HoaARTY SAYS "NEv-
ER AGAIN" FOR HIM.
Minneapolitans Didn't Believe the Pro-
duction Was as Great as Was Adver-
tised and Waited to See What Friends
Reported Will Never Again
Be So Cheap.

"Never again, if I have anything to-
say about it, will Belasco production
be offered on the bargain counter to the
public.'' so said John S. Hogarty, man
ager Of "The Darling of the Gods'
company, at the West hotel this morn
ing.
Mr.. Hogarty is not particularly
pleased with the way his great produc-
ton has been received in Minneapolis.
GIVE played to $1,000 house last
night,' he said, "and that is Just
about the kind of a house we should
have started with. The attendance has
been on the increase all weak, and /
believe if we could remain here next
week we would pack the Auditorium
every night. But of course that is i'm
not believe we had the great show we
advertised. They didn't believe the
newspapers. They waited until friends
went and reported the show was some
thing great. Then they began to come.
In my opinion selling seats at 81
each was mistake here. 1t was never
done before and it will never be done
again. Our representative visited the
Auditorium, saw it's great seating ca
pacity OF 1900 people on one floor, and
figuring that we could draw $500 peo-
pie there a night, consented to the sell
ing of seats at 81. But it was mis-
take. sThe Darling Of the Gods ap.
peals only to that class which can appre
ciate the highest dramatic art. And
this class is plenty able to pay So a seat
when occasion presents something worth
the price. There has been no money fol
us in playing in Minneapolis. We have
| hardly more than covered expenses
| Why, the cost of getting our company
here is almost as great as a full week I
expense Of most attractions that play
| Minneapolis.
'Will any other .Belasco attraction,
come to Minneapolis9 That I canno-
say. I have not heard from New York
yet on what we are doing in Minneapo
lis. l think [ can say, however, thai
Belasco companies win never be seer
again in Minneapolis at such Low
prices.'

WARM CONTEST

A spirited contest for the appoint
ment to the office of county surveyor,
made vacant by the resignation of
George R. Cooley, has developed be-
tween W. E. Stoopes and Frank Hay
cock. Mr.. Stoopes is chief deputy
surveyor and has been connected with
the office for several years. ...
r Mr.. Haycock was formerly In the
surveyors office, but is now county
drainage engineer. Both have an
nouneed their candidacy for the office
and both have their friends who are
urging their especial qualifications and
claims. Mr.. Haycock is especially
strong with. the country constituents
and that, together with his influence in
the city, seems to give him shade the
best Of the race. The handicap, how
ever, if indeed there be any, is not
enough to destroy the interest.

Weather Conditions.

An extensive low pressure area of
moderate energy is central over the
middle and northern Rocky Mountain
region, the influence of which is felt in
much of the United States, as shown by
unsettled weather, except in western
Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, south
ern Texas and northern New York.
Rain was falling this morning along the
Pacific coast, along the middle and
south Atlantic coast, and in the middle
Mississippi valley, and showing in west
ern Minnesota, Washington, southern
Montana, Nevada and Utah. The
'shigh" northeast Of New England has
caused northeasterly winds and some
what cooler weather in the lower Lake
region and along the Atlantic coast,
and falling temperatures have begun
in Saskatchewan and Alberta, tho the
temperatures in the western Canadian
provinces are still moderate for the sea-
son. There has been a decided rise in
temperature in the upper lake region,
upper Mississippi valley, Manitoba,
Minnesota, the Dakotas and the central
Rocky Mountain region. Moderate
temperatures are anticipated, in this vi
cinity tonight and Sunday, or as long as
