Crane Leaves as Medicine.

Grape leaves are the sovereign rem.
edy in Switzerland for cuts and fresh
wounds. Decoctions of the juice of
the leaves are used in poultices. An
agreeable tea is also made from the
leaves, which is said greatly to
strengthen the nerves. The leaves are
also excellent fool for cows, hogs and
sheep. The tears" of the vine (used
incidentally are a limpid exudation
Of the sap at the time the plant begins
budding, and are found on the vine
where the slightest wound occurs to
the plant. The liquid Is collected by
cutting off the ends of the canes, bend
ing them down, and sticking the ends
into the neck of the bottle, which will
be filed In few days. The wood and
branches are used in the manufacture
Of baskets, furniture, rustic work;
bark for tying material, etc, and,
when burned, potash and salts.

Many Write to. Geronimo.

Geronimo, the Apache chieftain, re-
ceiyes as much mail as United
States senator. These letters come
from all parts Of the United States
and from all classes of people. Many
of them contain requests for photo
graphs, many want merely Geronimo's
autograph, some want short accounts
Of his life, few desire to assist him
in securing release from military Gus
tody, others want him to pose as an
attraction in eastern exhibitions, some
want him as leading character in
wild west shows and a multitude &
other requests are stacked away in aN
old trunk. The limit was reached the
other day when a man in Michigan,
giving his age as As, wrote and asked
Geronimo to find an Indian wife for
him. The letter was written in all
seriousness and asked for immediate
reply.

PSYCHOLOGY TO HAVE INNING. |
Scientists in Mood to Investigate Flu
siye Phenomena.

/ Why have certain, not rare, though
elusive, phenomena which seem to
have been known in all ages and in all
countries of the world, not yet attain
ed to full recognition anywhere, and
why are they so generally looked at
askance and with suspicion? cries Sir
Oliver Lodge concerning psychical re-
search. He believes that these facts
have fallen between two stools. They
are not like the facts Of organic ma
ture, which can be investigated apart
from the interfering and confusing
element, and they are not like the
acts of history, which necessarily de-
pend on direct experience and testi-
mony; they are mixture of the two.
The humanist cannot study them freely
because they involve physical chem
ical, and biological details which are
strange to him; the socalled realist
or man of science Is bound to feel
difficulty when an apparently capri
cious element, an unknown and for
eign psychological influence Is intro
duced into the midst of his physics.
At no period of the worlds history,
however, has the outlook been more
hopeful for the ultimate admission Of
the subject within the scope of an en-
larged science than the present. 1t
must be admitted, he says, that fair
ly favorable atmosphere now exists In
educated circles for the examination
ard criticism of well supported evil
denee when such evidence Is forth
coming. The popular attitude that
the things which the psychologists ac-
cept are too wonderful to be believed
Is not the attitude of scientists. More
wonderful things happen In everyday
life.

Heart on Right side.-The doctors

million has heart located on the
right side. Arcadia has the man. DR..
Fleming examined William Easter
and found this abnormal condition
heart and stomach on the right side

Runnion were called in and confirmed
DR.. Fleming's statement. All of them
had read of such cases. but this Is
the only one they have ever seen. Mr..

.NORWEGIANS' DAY
OF DAYS OBSERVED
SEVENTEENTH OF MAY AND IN.
DEPENDENCE CELEBRATED
Sons and Daughters Of the Norsk Coun-
try Hold tests and Enjoy Good
Programs in Numerous Halls and Or
ators Sing the Glory of Free People.

Thousands of the sons and daughters
Of Norway participated in the cele
bration of the seventeenth of May at
the numerous festivities provided by
various Norwegian organizations last
evening. In the main the celebrations
were well attended, particularly those
held by the Norwegian Turner'S and
the Sons of Norway lodges. The attend
ance at the entertainment given by the
Norwegian Hospital association at the
fourth ward wigwam was disappoint-
ing, altho the program was one OF much
merit. -. =
The Turner's, as usual, filed Norman
ma hall. The program consisted largely
of athletic and gymnastic events. The
boys and men s classes acquitted them
selves with credit. George johnson
proved to be real strong man and his
exhibition of feats of strength won ap-
plause. Anthony T.. Grotte spoke of the
significance of the day. At the close
of the program the floor was cleared
for dancing.
DANA hall was filled to it's utmost ca
pacity and it is doubtful if the place
ever before contained so many people.
The program included an address by
Rev. H. A. Saether and selections by
Heinrich Gunnersen, piano; Miss Helga
Jensen, violin; Will Newgard and Karl
s. Kriedt, tenors; Miss Lillian Ham
borg, soprano, and Mrs. Marion Donnel-
ly, elocutionist.
The hall was profusely decorated with
green foliage and the American Nor
wegian colors, and the affair was credit
able to Oslo lodge
Nidaros lodge, Sons of Norway, cele-
brated at it's hall, Washington and
Twentieth avenues N, and had a big
house and an entertaining program.
Frank M. Nye delivered the Grafton
at the fourth ward wigwam and COM
plimented the Norwegian.born Ameri-
cans on their patriotism and love Of
liberty. Miss Blanche Booth gave a
reading from the "Merchant of Venice
and in response to an enthusiastic en-
core read scene from Sheridan g
"School for Scandal Miss Matilda
Hansen, Miss Hattie De Foe and 9TH
ers contributed to the program.
Fran society had banquet and an
informal dance at the DANA club
rooms, which was thoroly enjoyed. In
vitations were limited to members of
the society.
Hans Reynolds, the Norwegian au-
thor, was one of the attractions at the
fest given by the Trinity Norwegian
| church. He showed some interesting
lantern slides of Norwegian scenes. The
address Of the day was by Professor
| Willie I'm Petersen.
Successful tests were given by Beth
any church and the young people OF
Our. Savior's church and by other or
| ganizstions.

HIGH MARK SET FOR
G. A. R. ENCAMPMENI

Estimates Of the probable expenses
of the G.. A. R. encampment in Minne-
apolis next August were considered by
the &. A. R. executive committee, which
met at noon today at the Commercial
club. In the last five years an aver
age of about $1,000,O0O has been ex-
pended by the entertaining cities. Com
pared with the simpler plans Of the ear
~ encampments, the present gatherings
OF the veterans Of the civil war and
their friends are most elaborate.
The plans undertaken for the Mime
apol1s encampment are comprehensive,
and will be fully as elaborate and as
pretentious as other gatherings of re-
cent years. It is the intention Of the
Minneapolis committee to make the en-
campment a marker for future gather
ings.
The executive committee is not set
Ting on any set sum for the encamp-
ment, or for any feature Of the prepara-
tons. Everything is to be the best.
The plan of organization adopted here,
tho, will enable handling the fund to
much better advantage than has been
the case in many other cities. If money
duty, the Minneapolis G.. A. R. fund
will surely do it. By utilizing of the
public affairs committees organization
of the Commercial club, an established
experienced organization is placed in
charge of the work. In other cities it
has been necessary to form 'high-sal
aried organizations, secure, special quar-.
tiers and incur considerable expense in
getting started. Much preliminary
work has already been done here and
at almost no expense.

MALL ASSOCIATION
CLOSES CONVENTION

The American McAll convention drew
to successful close late yesterday af-
Hternoon. The delegates expressed them
selves as delighted with the entertain
ment they received in Minneapolis.
CAT no place we have been,' said
one delegate, who has attended many
McAl conventions, Sshave we been
more delightfully."- received, nor have we
ever had such a beautifully decorated
hall in which to hold our sessions.
The event of the afternoon was the
address of Mrs. Louise Seymour Hough-
ton, who spoke of the work in France,
especially Paris She told of the great
sacrifices made to clear the McAll asso-
citation Of debt of $4,000. People
not only sacrificed luxuries, but many
even went without food and clothing.
She spoke Of the respect shown by
the lower classes for McAl workers.
In the Jean dare of Paris, where 20
licemen only dare to go in pairs, the
McAll workers pass in and out without
ever being disturbed. She told Of an
old blind woman who received pen
sion of So month from the govern
ment, who gave to the McAll mission
each month such money as she would
have spent for oil had she had her
sight.
Following the convention, the dele
gates were taken in chartered cars by
the Minneapolis auxiliary on a tour Of
the city. Most of the delegates left on
trains last night for their respective
home, isE II

TAXPAYERS ARE EAGER
TO AVOID PENALTIES

Business is increasing in the county
treasurer's office. Yesterday there were
1000 statements paid by cash handed
thru the window, to say nothing of the

mails. Today. Judging from the crowd
of taxpayers that filled the office eager
to> avoid the penalty that will be at

much larger.

HOSPITAL CONTRACTS
SET BOARD TO THINKING

The contract for the construction of
the administration wing Of the city hos
pital has been awarded to J. & W. A.
Elliott at $48,S10, and the contract for
plumbing to Hoy & Co. at 5000.
The building will cost $4,000, and as
the board Of charities and corrections
has only 100000 at it's disposal, it is in
something of quandary. Several
plans have been pro posed for meeting
the situation, but DR.. E. H. Beckman,
city physician, and the commissioners
are opposed to any plans for cheaper
ing the construction or dispensing with
necessary features.
It is likely that the board will appeal
to the board Of tax levy for an addi-
tional $4,000.

that creating an American railroad
commission on similar lines, or giving
greater power of rate regulation int,

Officers of General Staff Favor an Or
der to the Company to Rush Exten-
sion of Line Across Smelling Reserva-
ton to Approach to Proposed New

Quartermaster General Humphrey
has decided to require the Twin City
Rapid Transit company to construct a
temporary waitingroom on its loop in
the Fort Smelling reservation pending
a decision by the general staff on the
final locations of the trolley line in
the reservation, when a permanent sta
ton can be erected. "
A dispatch to T he ournal from
Washington says the officers of the
quartermaster' department deem the
construction of a waitingroom necessary
as a sanitary precaution, in view of the
prospective rush of visitors to the fort
during the coming season. The lack
of conveniences for visitors from Min
each week, caused the department. to
take up the question of providing a
waitingroom toward the close Of last
season. and the same reasons govern the
decision which was made public today.
The question of location of the line
lies with the general staff. It is re-
garded as very important for the reser-
walton. In view of the large amount
