GIVE A JOINT RECITAL
SIR ALOIS BURGSTALLER AND
MISS MYRTLE ELVYN.
They Will Take the Place of Olive
Fremsted, Who Cannot Meet
Her engagement Jan. z.

Sir Alois Burgstaller and Miss Myr-
tie Elvyn, pianist, will give a joint
recital in st. Paul on Thursday even
ing, Jan. 2, in connection with the
Minnesota Educational association.
This takes the place of the recital to
have been given by Olive Fremstad
who has been unable to keep her
appointment The same conditions will
prevail as for the Fremstad entertain
ment.
Sir Burgstaller, the noted German
tenor, appeared in st. Paul a year
ago and those who heard him are
delighted at his return. His reputa-
tion is world wide and it is believed
that while personal disappointment
will exist over the loss of Fremstad
that the entertainment secured is fully
the equal at least of the one first
advertised. The entertainments are
equal in point of expense.

DENIED A new TRIAL
JUDGE OLSON ISSUES ORDER
IN THE WIDELL CASE.
Appeal Will Be Taken to the Supreme
Court BY Messrs. w. G. Hoerr
and Carlos Boynton.

st. Peter, Dec. lS.-Judge [. M. Olsen
of the Nicollet county district court
has issued an order in the case of
Gustaf Widell against w. G. Hoerr of
Mankato, Carlos Boynton of st. Paul
and the National Citizens bank of
Mankato in which he denies the motion
of Mr.. Hoerr and Mr.. Boynton for a
new trial.
The case is one of the most impor-
tant ever tried in this county. In 1905
Mr.. Widell negotiating a loan of $685.
600 from Mr.. Hoerr, issuing five prom
issory notes for $1,000 each and giving
a sixth for the same amount, issued
by the Widell-Finley company of
which he was president. To secure the
loan he gave mortgage on real pro-
perty in Blue Earth and Nicollet coun-
ties worth $4,000. Subsequently he
brought suit to have the notes de-
clared invalid he contending that no
value was received for the sixth note
and that il constituted usurious
and unlawful rate of interest.
When the case was tried Mr.. Hoerr
declared that the note in question was
given him as Commission" for arrang-
ing the loan; that he was not a
principal, but acted as an agent for
Mr.. Boynton. At this point the bank
presented the claim that the mortgage
given Mr.. Hoerr was executed IN the
form of trust deed to secure loans
they had made to Widell and the court
ruled in their favor, ordering the other
two defendants to destroy the SIX
notes and the mortgage and upholding
the validity of the trust deed.
Judge Olsen having denied their mo-
tion for new trial, Messrs. Hoer and
Boynton will, it is understood, appeal
to the state supreme court.

RUFF, The HATLESS MAN
QUITE A PEDESTRIAN ALSO; HIS
WALK STUNTS.
He Removed His Headpiece Years
Ago and Now He Has Fine
Growth of Hair.

Rochester. Dec. 1S-Emile Ruff, SUI
perintendent of the Rochester gas
plant, has left the city and is on his
wav to the Golden West.
For the past twelve years Mr.. Ruff
has been one of Rochester's most con-
spicuous characters. He has been
Photographed" and cartooned in many
papers on account of one popularity,
that of wearing no hat in the summer
time. His reason for this is very
simple. A number of years ago, his
hair began to part company with his
scalp, and he begaHJto devise some
means OF gettingsest back again. The
idea of going bareheaded suggested it
self and he tried it. Then he found
the bareheaded life to be an enjoyable
one and he has kept it up. 1t has
been twelve years since he has worn
a hat in the summer time, except on
special occasions. The results are evil
dent in the fine growth of hair which
he has started.
shines. Before he came to Rochester
from Duluth he was a canoeist, and
made the trip from La Crosse to Du-
buque, distance of l34 miles, IN
eighteen hours. After he came to
Rochester he took up pedestrianism.
Here are some of his records:
Rochester to Oronoco, l2Ks miles, 2
hours; Rochester to Owatonna, facing
a blizzard, 40 miles, 8 hours; Oronoco
to Redwing, AZ miles, S1a hours
Rochester to Winona, so miles, ii
hours; Rochester to Spring Valley, 2S
miles, 6H hours; Rochester to Mantor-
vile and return, 36 miles, 8 hours.
Mr.. Ruff always goes bareheaded on
these jaunts and of course has met
with some adventures. On several oc-
casions he has been stopped by farm
ers who imagined he was an insane
patient eloping from the state hospl-
tai
Mr.. Ruff is willing to undertake a
long distance walk with any one. He
will not walk on wager, betting be-
ing against his principles. He will un-
dertake to walk a thousand miles in
thirty days for wages, but not for a
wager. He expects to go to Califor-
MIA or Idaho in January and engage
in some occupation which will require
outdoor work Being an enthusiast or
the subject of flowers he may engage
in horticultural work.

OF THE ENGINE
RICHARD PEET DIED VERY SUD-
DENLY IN ST. PAUL.
Had Run on Omaha Road More Than
Forty Years, Pulled Last Train
Yesterday Morning.

News of the sudden death of Rich
ard Peel. the veteran Omaha engineer,
of heart failure, came as a great shock
to people in this city yesterday. Mr..
Peel was well known here. He died
at his home on West Seventh street,
st. Paul. about one o'clockk. He had
come in on his run at ten O'Clock
that morning, and told a friend at the
Union depot in Minneapolis that he
was not feeling very well, that he had
tainted away at Belle Plaine.
Richard Peel was born in England
and was sixty-six years of age. He
has been an engineer on the Omaha
line for forty years, and was the
second ranking engineer of the Mime
sofa and Iowa division. He was chief
engineer of Division SIC, Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, and prom
inent Mason. Genial, whole-souled,
kindly, no one ever came to Dick Peel
in want, and was turned away. Ev-
ery one who knew him will mourn
his loss deeply.
w. T. Marcroft, Lemuel Sharpless
and William d. Brady, Omaha engi-
neers stationed here, are planning to
attend the funeral, tomorrow.

ALL PLEADED NOT GUILTY
George and William Beck and Louis
Tietz Arralsned in Court.

Sheriff Donahue and Deputy Sheriff
G. G. Phillips drove out to Medo
Yesterday and arrested George and
William Beck and Louis Tietz on the
charge of attacking George McComb
after the religious services in Nc
Pherson school house last Sunday
evening. The defendants consulted
Thomas and Evan Hughes, and the
latter appeared for them when they
were arraigned late in the afternoon.
George Beck and Tietz pleaded not
guilty to assault in the third de-
gree and their trial was set for Dec.
81 at "a. m., and they were released
on 500 bonds each. William Beck
pleaded not guilty to manning, and his
hearing was set for Dec. 30 at a.
H.. and he was committed to the Gus
todv of the sheriff as the case is a
district court one and the municipal
Judge does not have jurisdiction to fix
the amount of bail
The defendants deny that they made
the attack upon McComb that the lat
ter alleges. 1t is said that there Is
bad blood between the parties, dating
back some time.
Judge Cray fixed the bond to be
given by William Beck at $500 and
it was furnished. Mayhem is SER
ious offence and the punishment ear
be more than five years in states
prison, which fact took it out of the
jurisdiction of the municipal judge.

SPIES THE MAN WANTED
G. G. Phillips Rounds Up Guy Dickin.
son of Redwood County.

G. G. Phillips was at Amboy Mon
day, and learned that the marshal was
looking for a man named Guy Dick
inson, who was wanted at Lucan, Red
wood county, for bastady. The mar
shall at Amboy had been telephoned
to to look for the man.
Mr.. Phillips saw man who an
swered the description and took him
into custody, and turned him over to
the marshal, who held him until De-
putty Sheriff Mcdonald arrived from
Redwood Falls yesterday morning.
Dickinson admitted that he was the
man wanted, and said that he had
driven from Truman to Amboy with
the intention of catching the train
and leaving the country.

new COIN LOOKS GOOD
THE DOUBLE EAGLE MAKES ITS
APPEARANCE.
Great Demand For the Issue BY Those
Who Delight in Collecting
Rare Pieces.

Philadelphia, Dec. 1S.-The new
twenty dollar gold piece, so designed
as to better conform with the tastes
of bankers, is now in circulation. The
new design substantially conveys st.
Gauden's idea, but has been altered
in details to such an extent that
praise and admiration has supplanted
the criticism which broke out several
weeks ago when the original coin left
the Philadelphia mint.
The new double eagle can be stack
ed quite as easy as any other coin.
The high relief to which bankers found
objections has been greatly reduced,
though both sides are artistically con-
cave, the eagle and the goddess stand
ing out boldly. The new design is
virtually compromise with regard to
the ''pantalooned" eagle. 1t cannot be
said that the designer dispensed with
the leg adornment of the eagle, yet
those who found objection to this fea-
luTe have HO luIIHeI SIlcNdHCe do tuc
legs are obscured.
The figures 1907 have displaced the
Roman numerals. The sharp edge of
the coin has been eliminated. Around
it are stars and the phrase "E pluribus
unum."
There was a great demand for the
new issue yesterday when the first
consignment of 100000 was delivered
to the cashier of the mint for circula-
tion. About half of this sum was dis
tributed among the local banks and
trust companies. The coiners are strik-
ing off the coins at a rapid clip and
today second consignment will be
delivered.
The error of the designer of the old
double eagle, if such it may be called,
has a singular result. There were
$4,000 of the original design issued,
and while this meant 100000 in cir
culation, the high premium of $40 on
each coin brought $24O,0O0. 1t is
said that none of the eagles are in
circulation, as they have all been
bought up by collectors.

SENT WIFE TO BUY GIFTS
Then He Eloped With Her Sister,
Caught, Brought Back.

Montezuma, Iowa, Dec. lS.-Ernest

sister of his wife. And that too after
he had sent his wife to a depart

pair drove away, caught through
train and started west. Mrs. Creger
suspected nothing wrong, but the next
day found a note telling her of the
faithlessness of her husband. The pair
were arrested at Grundy Center and
brought back. Mrs. Creger had pur-
chased carving set for her husbands s
Christmas gift and she was only re-
strained from using it upon him by
the officer who had him in charge.

MAY BE A TOOL OF OTHERS
Jacob Cosbury Arrested at Lake Cry
staI, Hide Stealing Charge.

Jacob Cosbury was brought from
Lake Crystal yesterday by the mar
shall of that village, Ben Davis, and
committed to the county Jail to await
the action of the next grand jury.
He is charged with grand larceny in
the second degree in the theft of five
hides from the meat market of Bun
Williams. He had his hearing Monday
afternoon and was held to the grand
jury, and being unable to furnish bail
was committed.
s Cosby is peddler of some kind,
and is believed to be merely tool
for others, if he is in any way con-
nected with the theft of the hides. 1t
is believed that before the next term
of the district court further facts
will come to light that may lead to
the arrest of others.

NO CUT IN LUMBER PRICES
Jacob Lampert Expresses His View
on the Situation.

Jacob Lampert, who was in the city
Yesterday, stated that he did not look
for lumber to come down much if any
on account of the harder times and
consequent lower wages and smaller
demand. If the lumber interests were
divided among large number of peo-
pie this might be the case, but as four
or five men control seventy per cent
of the output they can and no doubt
will keep the prices up. The output
is being curtailed, no doubt with this
in view. The owners of the small
mills do not cut any figure, as they
make only certain things, said Mr..
Lampert.

President Stiekney Not the Subject OF
Criticism.

New York, Dec lS.-President A. B.
Stickney of the Chicago Great West
ern railway denies that he has any in
tention of retiring from his office as
was stated in dispatches from the
west. He said the idea had never even
occurred to him, and so far as he
knew there was no criticism of his
administration among either directors
or stockholders of the road.

have three courses. For instance,
bread and butter and spaghetti with
cheese and tomato dressing, sometimes
baked tomatoes stuffed with rice and
green peppers or with chopped hard

served on toast with poached eggs is
a splendid dish. Next comes vege-

and basted with butter, rise au gratin,
onion, caulifower- there are lots to
choose from.

leaves well dried so that the oil will
adhere and made at the table as green
salads always should be, comes next.
''Its great art and few people
know the pleasure to palate and the
good to the body to be derived from a
well l-prepared green salad. Baked ap-
pies stuffed with chopped dates, figs

sert although we have many other very
palatable ones. A person of ingen-

Takes Possession of Popcorn
Stand; Owner Is Sick.
Disposes of All Goods on Hand,
With Aid of Mother
Youngster Filled Ozone With
a Megaphone Noise.

Freddie Hiland, nine year old boy,
was taken into custody today. The
charge against him is peculiar one
1t is said that on Saturday night he
broke into Mr.. Turner's popcorn stand
on the First National bank corner and
conducted the stand all day Sunday,
doing u landoffice business. MIR. Tur-
ner has been sick in a hospital and the
boy took advantage of this.
1t is said that the boy popped up
what corn there was in the house,
used up the gasoline, spilled some paint
that was there, and when the popcorn
was gone went out and bought some
crackeriack and sold that. To those
who inquired it is said that he made
the statement that he had rented the
stand for 81.
Used Megaphone.
People who passed by on Sunday
could have seen the lad on top of the
stand with paper megaphone, shout
ing his fares, while his mother was
inside selling popcorn. Mrs. Hiland,
when questioned by the police said that
her boy had told her that he had
rented the stand. When asked where
he got the money to pay the rent,
she said that he had scraped the snow
off of some sidewalks the day before
and earned 81. The police thought
that this would be pretty good pay for
a boy as small as Freddy is. Inquiry
of Mr. Fuller brought out the infor-
nation that he not only did not rent
the stand, but that he had just pre-,
viously bought a new lock and put on
it.
Young Hiland has caused the school
-anthnritias and truant officer as well
as the police much trouble in the
past.
