brewer WILL NOT run;
I. M. EDDY NAY TRY II.
SHIFT OF POLITICAL SCENERY IN
SIXTH DISTRICT.
st. Cloud Man Quits After Organization
Has Been Well Started to Defeat
Congressman Buchanan at Primaries
Eddy or Some Other Candidate Will
Be Brought Out.

Ripley B. Brewer of st. Cloud, who
has been touring the Sixth district and
organizing campaign for months past,
will not be a~candidate. The announce
ment he had promised to make about
April l will not be made.
In all probability Frank M. Eddy of
Sank Center, former congressman from
the old Seventh district, will take adj
vantage Of the opening and enter the
lists against Congressman Buchanan. If
he does not, some other leading republi-
can will, for the Buchanan opposition is
already organized and only wants a
leader.
Brower's decision, his friends say, is
not due to any faint heart, but to per-
sonal and business reasons. His bust
ness partner has been much opposed to
his running, as their practice needs the
constant attention of both. Then Al
yah Eastman and James A. Martin,
close political friends of Brower's, are
tied up to the Buchanan machine, East
man holding land office position and
Martin the. postoffce. Brewer had re-
ceived much encouragement, and with
a vigorous canvass expected to win, but
he yielded to the wishes of his friends
and has promised that he will not file
for the nomination.
This assurance, it is understood, was
conveyed to Congressman Buckmar
while home last week, and he went back
to Washington happy.
I The Buchanan men tried months agt
to get Brewer out as a candidate 70:

it entirely. Within two or three week
he stated positively that he would ru

? suddenly.
Frank Eddy is considered the mos
likely candidate to be pitted agains
Buchanan at the primaries, but there ar
several other possibilities, including A
L. Cole Of Walker, A. F. Foster o

THEATER TICKETS SEND
EMMA ANDERSON TO JAIL
Efforts to Realize on Pasteboards in
Stolen Purse Results In Arrest Of
Woman for Petty Larceny.


Emma Anderson was arrested by De-
tective Louis Hanson last night and
locked up on the charge of petty lar
ceny. A few day ago a woman laid
her pocketbook, containing tickets to
the entertainment at the Auditorium,
on the counter of downtown drug
store. When her back was turned the
pocketbook disappeared.
Both the police and the Auditorium
management were notified. AS was ex-
pected, a woman tried to obtain cash
on the tickets. When informed that the
money could not be refunded, she de-
cided to use them herself. Detective
Hanson then appeared on the scene and
placed the woman under arrest. She
is known to the police, but has not
been in trouble for several years.

old INDIAN LAND IS
| TO Be SOLD TO STATE
BOARD OF CONTROL NEEDS
FoRTY-ACRE TRACT.
Congressman Davis Procures Passage
of Bill Authorizing Secretary of In
terror to Convey Property for Addi-
ton to Grounds Of Hastings Asylum
for Insane-History Is Interesting.

Congressman c. R. Davis Of st. Peter
has notified the state board of control
of the passage of his bill, introduced
at the board $ request, authorizing the
secretary of the interior to sell to the
state of Minnesota at figure which he
shall consider commensurate, a forty
acre tract Of government land adjoin-
ing the grounds Of the state asylum for
insane at Hastings, and extending be-
tween the present land of the institu-
ton and the Mississippi river.
The new woman 8 building at Hast
ings is within hundred feet of the
government land line, and it was felt
that the land was actually needed be-
cause of the growth Of the asylum and
the increase in it's number Of build
ings. .-... -',t. y
Is Isolated Tract. ~
Investigation of the title to the gov
eminent tract shows the practically
forgotten fact that this forty acres is
an isolated tract of Indian reservation
land. In 1888 Robert B. Henton of
Morton, Mimi, was appointed repre-
sentative of the federal government to
| select and purchase Indian allotments
for certain members Of the Sioux, who
were not connected with and provided
for at the regular Sioux reservations
Accordingly, Henton selected severa,
tracts, among them being this forty
acres in Dakota county, adjoining the
state asylum. This tract he chose fol
one John Hoffman, and which was &C
copied by Hoffman. The selection o:
the land by Henton, however, wa'

Contact Is Helpful.

It Is possible to read minds without
touching the person who is holding the
knowledge sought by the mind-reader,
but the operator works faster by touch
ing the person. The fact that the sub
ject usually touches the reader leads
many to believe that the object is be-
ing described by signal, but Miss Max
we'll laughs at this common incredulity.
She says that ofttimes she finds her
self at sea when she starts out with
the declaration that she will find the
prescribed object without a touch from
her subject. In this event she will
merely brush against the person who
holds the thought and thus give her
answers quicker. .&,.. n
Many persons, including her people
and some eminent medical men, say
that the exertion of reading minds in
lures the health Of the reader Miss
Maxwell denies this. She has prac
ticed the mystic art for twelve years
and has experienced no i'll effects.

MAJORITY IS AGAINST
The SUNDAY FUNERAL
EXPERIMENT. BIDS FAIR TO BE.
COME PERMANENT HERE.
Tho Many Still Complain Against
Abolition of Sunday Funeral Friends
of Measure Are In Larger Number
Undertakers, Tho Financial Losers,
Favor the Reform.

Since Jan. ], there have Been no Sun
day funerals in Minneapolis except in
few cases Of death by contagious dis
ease. This state of affairs has been
forced by a rule closing the cemetery
gates on Sunday, proposed by the
Lakewood association and concurred in
by all the other cemetery associations.
In taking this, stand the Minneapolis
cemeteries are merely falling in line
with movement which was started in
the east five years ago. The local agi-
| tation against Sunday funerals began
about two years ago and Minneapolis
is almost the last large city to bar the
Sunday interment.
With the general public the new
regime is still on trial and while on one
hand it is praised, it is roundly de-
nounced on others. With many people
an elaborate funeral is considered a
mark Of respect to the deceased, de-
manded by the proprieties and affec-
! tions. This class has been the most
clamorous against the new rule, but the
most sincere opposition comes from
those who attach a religious sentiment
to laying away their dead on the
Lords day. .5 !
1 Coming to the practical side Of the
question, strong argument against
the abolition Of Sunday funerals was
that the necessity of laying off work tc
attend funerals of their friend would
be heavy tax on the poor.
