There is only one Democrat. HARVEY c.
CARRIER. in 0hio's delegation in the House
in the Fifty-ninth Congress. but at the last
election there we're five Congress districts
that sent Republicans to Washington by
pluralities that were not large, consider
ing that it was a Roosevelt tidal year. In
the Fifth the Republican plurality was 324;
in the Sixth. 1887; in the Thirteenth. l $50;
in the Fifteenth $50; and in the Seventeenth.
2,276. IL is to be presumed that Chairman
GRIG0s has his eye on those districts. In
1902 the Fifth and Seventh we're carried
by the Democrats and the Republican plu-
rality in the Thirteenth was only 327. The
polite intimation TO Mr.. BRYAN. then. by
Chairman GLRBER OF the Democratic exec
utive committee that it would be well If he
we're to omit Ohio from his itinerary this
year ia significant. The reason given. that
only State issues are to be discussed by the
Democrats, is a transparent fiction. Chair-
man CARRIER, who has a we'll deserved repu-
tation for political insight. fears the effect
of Mr.. BRYAN's Government ownership
issue upon the minds OF the voters in the
| close Congress districts OF conservative
Ohio. State issues the Democrats may
parade as Of paramount Importance. but
their invitation 10 Mr.. BRYAN to stay away
proves that they are more concerned about
gains in the Congress delegation.

such as no other British naval officer has.

BODY OF INFANT IS
FOUND IN CEMETERY

Marks that indicate murder on a
babe found at Hillside cemetery today,
have sent Coroner j. M. Kistler to
work in desperate attempt to discover
the persons responsible for the death
and abandonment of the infant.
Late Sunday night figure, running
rapidly, was seen emerging from the
cemetery near the spot where the babe
was found. A long coat or dress and
a cap or shawl were worn by the per-
son, and those who saw it from a dis
tance were unable to state whether it
was a man or woman. The speed with
which the person moved caused suspi-
cion and a hasty investigation was
made at the time, but no evidence of
wrong found. 49,.
Today the dead babe was found by
workmen where it evidently had been
carelessly tossed. It was wrapped in
rags and had been. dead for some time
The babe apparently was about ter
days old. For the reason that it has
been dead some time, it is difficult tc
determine the cause of it's death, tho
it's condition indicates strangulation. 1t
had been i'll fed and starvation may
have killed it.

INSANE, A MENTAL WRECK.

After years Of strain and struggle
and hardship, Oscar Bradley s mind has
given way and he has been ,adjudged
insane and committed to the state hos
pital at Rochester .~...., ...>s.
Bradley was a talented young Min
neapolis artist who, with all his abil-

one continual struggle to keep the wolf
from the door. -.-D~,. =. . .',.s.,.,... =
Several years ago, while working as
plumber apprentice, the young
mans. ability as copyist was dis
covered by a local newspaper man, who
gave him chance to display his tai
ent. He entered the Minneapolis
School Of Fine Arts as student, and
his work there created much favorable
comment. After two years work there
he won scholarship in the Chase
school Of New York, and while there
took two first prizes. While in New
York, however, his money gave out and
he suffered many privations. He was
finally discovered in an almost starving
condition and charitable help was freely
given him. -
" Not long after, now nearly four years
ago, he began to be subject to menta
vagaries and alterations. In affidavits
made by his relatives it is stated that
his first mental trouble arose from; q

Weather. Conditions.

The "high" over Manitoba yester-
day morning has moved eastward and
southwark, and now extends as mar
row crest from northern Minnesota to
western Texas; the movement has been
attended by moderate fall in tenn
perature in most of New England, the
middle Atlantic states, lake region,
Ohio valley, eastern Minnesota and the
upper Mississippi valley, and more de-
cided falls in the middle and lower
Mississippi valley. A small "low'
over Arkansas yesterday is now cen
trail over the Carolinas, with rains dur
ing the past twelve hours in the south
Atlantic states, and rising temperature.
In the region west of the & high and
due in part to "low' over Alberta,
the, temperatures are rising rapidly,
considerably warmer weather being re-
ported in the Dakotas, Montana and
the western Canadian provinces. There
are no zero temperatures this morning
, except in eastern North Dakota, north
ern Minnesota and Manitoba. AS the
northwestern "low' advances, the tenn
peratures in this vicinity will rise, but
no precipitation is expected tonight or
Wednesday. II. S. Outram,

FEBRUARY BREAKS
BUILDING RECORD
TOTAL PERMITS ALMOST TREBLE
AVERAGE FOR MONTH.
Three Structures Alone Will Cost Near
ly as Much as Total of Other Months
Permit for Hotel to Be Erected at
Seventh and Hennepin.

February's building figures will be
phenomenally large and will far ex-
ceed the record for any other February
in the history of the city.
Today at noon the permits for the
month had aggregated more than 1926
900, with more to hear from. The near
est approach to this figure is February
of last year, with an aggregate of $484,
565, and February, 1898, with a total Of
$4,000. s. .s
n The average record for the month is
about 100000, hence the figures for the
present month look almost appalling to
Building Inspector James G.. Houghton
and his assistants, who see long and
strenuous year before them.
Three buildings alone are big enough
to place the month on a par with the
total for the corresponding month of
last year. These are the Washburn-
Crosby company s new elevator, to cost
over $200000; the First National bank
building, to cost $145,000 for the super
structure, and the Majestic hotel, for
which a permit was taken out today.
This will be erected by the McQuaid
company at Seventh street and Henne.

high, the first floor being of concrete
construction. The cost will be $4,000

DOCTOR SAYS
Finds Grape-Nuts Food Invaluable In
His Practice.

A physician. first healed himself with
food. Then he healed others, and tells
his story in straightforward, business
like way:
''For a long time he writes, - / was
unable to assimilate comfortably. any
ordinary or prepared breakfast foods.
Nearly everything disagreed with me,
bringing on heavy headaches, bad
taste in the mouth, and a ,dIllness of
mind that was not only unpleasant but
inteTfered with active mental work.
Since beginning the use of Grape Nuts
food some months ago, however. these
troubles have vanished amt breakfast is
relished and enjoyed as it ought to be.
Z "I find, too, that small quantity of
Grape-Nuts and cream eaten Just before
starting out to visit patients at night
prevents the feeling of depression that
used to result from this extra exertion
and loss of sleep.
SO NY wife suffered for several months
from recurring attacks of indigestion
with fermentation-sh would be very
miserable for days at time and al
most any kind of food added to the
trouble. She found by experiment that
by using sGrape-Nuts relief would be
obtained in a very short time, even
when ordinary remedies for indigestion
had failed to help her. :.
Mrs. James s., patient OIL
mine. suffered with sympathetic heart
trouble and stomach so deranged that
it rejected all food Her strength was
rapidly failing from lack of nourish-
ment. recommended the use of Grape
Nuts with cream every 8 or hours.
The food proved at once acceptable to
her stomach and her recovery to per-
feet health speedily followed.
Il have found Grape-Nuts an excel.
lent food for patients convalescing from
exhausting- fevers, as typhoid and pneu-
mOnia, and always recommend its use
by such. 1t is admirably suited to these
cases. not only because it is easily dl.
gested. but because of the great amount
of nonrishment it contains. Its use rap.
idly restores vitality and strength.

Hearkens to Laments Of Avenue
Business and Lays the Common
Enemy Campaign Is Six Weeks
Earlier Than Usual. II

Street sprinkling in February is a
novelty in this city, but the Fourth
ward has been forced to sprinkle out
of season. Most Of the ice On the
asphalt streets downtown has been re-
moved with the combined aid Of the
sun and the Fourth ward white wings,
with the result that the streets are as
dry as in summer, and when the wind
blows the dust clouds make trouble.
The regular season for starting the
waterwagons opens about April 10 or
Is, but Street Commissioner Robert
McMullen was compelled to order out
wagon today in response to the num-
erous complaints. -.s-s ....;.
The month has been busy one for
Mr.. McMullen on account Of the early
thaw. With the streets. full Of water
and the cutters still frozen in ice, it
was no small task to- get the water
into the sewers. He had to use plows
to dig up the ice and salt to melt it,
and to keep a large force Of men busy
long before the usual time.
It is likely that the. Fourth ward
will make an experiment with oil for
settling the dust. Sprinkling with
water is not entirely satisfactory, par
ticularly on the hot, dry summer days
when the water evaporates quickly.
