Frank Graves and Peter Saenger Put
the Officers on Trail of a Man
Who Was Wearing a Garment
That Did Not Fit Him Well;
This Aroused Their Suspicion;
Owner of Clothing Is Found.

Late yesterday afternoon, Frank
Graves and Peter Saenger noticed three
strangers proceeding out of the alley
near the Minneopa barn. One was
wearing a winter overcoat that was
many sizes too large for him, the
sleeves overlapping his hands and the
skirt nearly brushing the ground. Mr..
Graves suspicious were aroused, and
while Mr.. Saenger followed them he
called the police station. Officers
Call and Edwards responded and the
former found the man with the coat
at Williams second hand store, where
he was trying to dispose of it, while
the other two waited outside. The
three men were locked up. The man
who had the coat claimed that he
bought it at store on East Seventh
street, in st. Paul, a few days ago,
for SIG.

The overcoat had A. M. STEMS trade
mark on it, and inquiry there de-
veloped the fact that the coat was
one of two sold from his stock. The
price was $27. One of the two coats
was taken by his son, Joseph. The

the overcoat as his. He described a

even in the great western metropolis
It has not been found practicable from

But why should the News lay the de-

New England: Does it not know that
the South is even more strenuous in its
behalf? In fact one of the most not
able things about the present tariff
revision has been the vigor with which

One of the most difficult facts which
some of our exchanges find themselves
willing to acknowledge is the steady
and substantial growth which is being
made in industrial progress and
prosperity at the present time in all
parts Of the country. And yet, there
is no escaping the fact that prosperity
is not only returning again but that in
a very large measure it is with us once
more. During the month of April
orders for structural steel aggregating
little more than 100000 tons were
placed in this country and the orders
for rails have exceeded all expecta-
tons, aggregating during the last
month more than 100000 tons. The
steel corporation plants are increasing
their output from week to week and
will soon, at the present rate. be
working up to their capacity. Con-
tracts for about $4,000 tons of pig
iron were placed in the east district
last week and the total sales for April
are estimated to be more than 100000
tons. AS result of the heavy buying.
prices have advanced so to IS cents a
ton north and south.
There is general feeling in bust
ness circles that the coming season
will be a prosperous one in all the
building trades. Cotton mills have in
creased their takings of cotton and are
fully employed, using half again as
much cotton as they did last year
Another sign of growing prosperity
is found in the increased importation
of raw materials. In March $68,000,O00
worth of manufacturing materials
were imported, as against $4O,OO0,0O0
in March, 1908. In fact, the importa-
ton of raw materials for the month OF
March, 1909, very nearly equalled the
record of the best March in our manu-
featuring history.
Railroad activities are constantly in
creasing All these indications are fun
of encouragement to the business in
terests of the country. Undoubtedly
some things have operated to retard
the full development of business
activity, notably the unreasonable
weather of the present spring and the
uncertainty that exists as to the final
disposition of the tariff. The outlook
now is that the new tariff measure will
become a law by the first OF June. and,
with conditions fixed for some years to
come, the business of the country will
enter with confidence upon long
period of progress and prosperity.

THE VALUE OF PROPRIETARY
MEDICINES

is proven by the very large percentage
of physicians prescriptions for the
same remedies found in every drug
store in America, but as they are
written in Latin, few patients realize
this fact.
The old standard proprietary medi-
cines like Lydia E. Pinkhams Vege-
table Compound, that have stood the
test OF time, deserve place in every
family medicine chest. and it is most
certain they would not be prescribed
by physicians if they were able to de-
wise formula equally as efficacious.

Tho Cleaning Of q City.

The success of General Butler in SO
cleaning up the old city Of New Or
leans during the Civil War, when he
was in military command there, that
the yellow fever which had been a fire.
quent and deadly visitor there was en-
tirely eliminated, is a matter of his
tory. There is no more interesting
chapter in the history of the growth
Of modern sanitation as a safeguard
against disease than that in which
General Butler relates in his very in
teresting autobiography his expert
enee in making this old southern city
a healthy location for his northern
troops who occupied it as we'll as for
Its own citizens.
The city of San Francisco has COM
pieted similar cleaning process as
safeguard against the horrors of the
Bubonic plague, which bids fair to be
equally successful. Recognizing the
fact that germs of this disease are dis
seminated chiefly by rats and fieas,
a determined effort was made to free
the city from these vermin. The cam
paign was a thorough one, costing over
$1,000, 600 1t necessitated the tearing
up of old sidewalks. under which gen.
erations of rats had built their tunnels
and replacing them with solid founda-
tions In concrete. Back yards and
easements were concreted. Every
nook and corner of the city was
scraped and cleaned and sprayed sys-
tematically with an insecticide that
would kill fieas and destroy their eggs.
borer3 were kept in the field for months
trapping and poisoning rats, in addi-
ton to the forces maintained by the
board of health and the federal govern
ment, and they were assisted by a
large force of volunteer inspectors. In
short, the details of this work would in
themselves make an interesting book,
but already the people of the Golden
Gate city are approaching the practical
results attained. There is probably no
cleaner city in the country today than
San Francisco, and if the predictions
of the sanitary experts are borne out
it's people need have no fear the COM
ing summer of the dread Asiatic
scourge which for several years past
has gained foothold among them.
