In a recent lecture before the CONNER
hal club of Portland, Ore, San Fran
cisco architect described the Bruner
building, just finished in Oakland, across
the bay from San Francisco, as the
highest type Of fireproof construction.
This is tall building of REINFORCED CON
erete, the walls of which are faced with
brick of unusual shape. This brick fas
a groove cast on it's inner edge, that the
roncrete may be dovetailed in the brick
size, and the wedge shaped groove is
the invention Of an Oakland man, who
lad observed how difficult it is to keep
b brick facing in position in a concrete
wall in a confagratiOn.-Cem Age.

REV. ARD OUT FOR

GOV. DAVIDSON OFFERS $500 FOR
APPREHENSION AND CONVIC-
TON OF VIM. SADDLER.
OPERATED IN SAUK COUNTY
Got $4,000 from J. P Witwen of Baraboo
by Means of Forged Deeds and
Abstracts
CLAIMED TO OWN VALUABLE FARM

MADISON, Wis, March 25.-[ Spe-
cial- Gov. Davidson, at the request of
the county board of Sank county. has is
sued proclamation offering 5000 reward
for information that will lead to the ar
rest and conviction of William Saddler.
who is believed to be one of the smooth
est crooks who ever operated in Wiscon-
sin. By means of forged deeds and alb
stracts he buncoed j. L. Witwen. a real
estate dealer of Baraboo, out of $4,000.
Got Away with $4,000.
During the month of January. Saddler,
whose correct name is not known to Il
certainty, went TO Witwen and asked him
for a loan of $4,000 on a farm supposed
to be of the value of $4,000 in the town
of Spring Green, Sank county.
At that time, it appears. Saddler had
no evidence with him OF the title to the
land. In the meantime Saddler. or some
one interested in his behalf, had Witwen
go TO Spring Green, a distance of forty
miles, to view the farm upon which the
money was to be loaned. 1t was valued
at about $4,000.
A few days later Saddler appeared
with a deed of the land and an abstract
brought down to date. 1t has since been
disclosed that he obtained the deed and
impression of the seal of Thomas w.
King, a Spring Green notary, by obtain
ing the name of the rightful owner of
the land, forged the name of King with
a forged impression of his notary's seal,
and forged the names to the abstract
and then brought the papers to Baraboo.
FORGED Deed to Land
Witwen looked over the papers, saw
that they were properly acknowledged
and that on the face of the documents it
appeared that King had signed as notary
and the names of two witnesses appeared
in regular form. Upon this evidence
Witwen loaned Saddler $4,000, drew a
mortgage against the premises, which
Saddler claimed he owned, and Saddler
went away. He has not been heard from
since. Upon the recording of the deed
and the mortgage at the office of the
register of deeds i'll Sank county the for
gerry was discovered. The county board
has also offered a reward.

DRYING UP SWEDEN
More Than $4,000 Distilleries Closed in
the Last Half Century.

instead of going dry in any of +bo
various ways now being tried in This
country Sweden has invented 4 method
or liquor traffic control which can show
some extraordinary results.
Ihe novel features of the law enacted
IN that country so long ago as 1888 CON
sisted IN the provision that local COM
panleS or committees might be formed
In various communities to conduct the
hquor traffic in such Il way as to climin-
ate all private profit, any gain that
might result from the traffic being direct
ly applied to the promotion of public
utilities calculated to serve as counter
attractions To the saloon.
At that time there were more than
$4,000 diStilleries in Sweden, and it was
said that liquor could be purchased in
almost every hut in the kingdom. When
the new law had been in force six years,
according to McClure'S Magazine, the
number of diStillerieS dropped to less
than 600. In 1896 it was 1872.
Meanwhile the saloons shrank away so
rapidly that in 1869 there was but one
Tor So2S of the population, and eleven
years later only one for 1880 inhabi-
tantS-hgureS that gain clear significance
II we reflect by way of contrast that
Jersey City, for example. has saloon
for every thirty-fve voters
The per capita consumption of Spiritu-
Gus liquors decreased in Sweden from 80
stead of ) quarts Uhe equivalent of
- literSl per capita the consumption in
this country is over II gallons for every
man, woman and child. This is the
average given by the census reports for
the year 1900, when the total cousump-
ton of liquors in this country was 3D.
100000 gallons.
The system which has accomplished so
much in Sweden was first put into OPP
Grafton in its developed form in the city
of Gothenburg, and hence came to be
generally known as the GOthenburg syS-
tenn. 1t was adopted in due course by
all the chief cities and by many of the
smaller cities in Sweden. and it met
similarly favorable reception in Norway
and in Finland.
For a long time it spread no further.
Yet it furnished an object lesson that
could not be indefinitely ignored.
Thoughtful Germans came in time to
ask themselves why it was that the
kingdom of Sweden, with 100000 in
habitants, has fewer places for the sale
of spirituOus liquors than are to be found
in the single city of Konigsburg. with
10000 inhabitants, or in Bremen with
its 100000.
Thoughtful EnglShmen asked why.
they must needs have a drink shop for
every 243 inhabitants, while one for 13-
600 sufficed III Sweden. They proceeded
to develop a form of the Gothenburg
system which, in the hands of prominent
Englishman, has accomplished a great
deal, even without the aid of special leg
islation.

MINERS HOLD MEETING.
Anthracite Workers in Session to Decide
Whether or Not Strike viii
Be Ordered.

SCRANTON, Pa, March 23.-'Every-
thing is in the air." said a miner this
morning as he entered Music hall, where
the convention of the mine workers of
the three anthracite districts of tie Unit
ed Mine Workers is in session for the
purpose of taking Up the question Of ar
ranging new agreement with the coal
mining companies to take the place of
the present one which expires March 81.
This expression practically summed up
the situation as it stood when the con-
vention was called to order.
The mine workers are usually reticent
but those who did talk said they did not
know what the result of the convention
would be. They all hoped there would
be no trouble and few would openly say
they were for a strike.
Everybody is waiting to hear what L.
l.. Lewis, international president Of the
Miners union, has to present to the con-
vention. He again said today that he
had fixed ideas and that after the dele
gates presented their views he would
give his ideas to the convention.
There are many who believe that the
unalterable position taken by Mr. Lewis
forebodes a strike. He will not sign
any agreement except as president of
the Miners union, and the operators say
they will not treat with Lewis and his
officers except as representatives of the
anthracite mine workers. 1t therefore
looks, as one delegate put it, like a
backdown of one or the other side or no
agreement at ALL Many believe that no
agreement will be reached and that the
miners will continue to strengthen their
organization and make fight later IN.
The convention is expected to last two
days. President Lewis has an engage
Incnt in Indianapolis Thursday after
earned here today that the local
5 will not make the usual so
ton reduction in coal on April
. / strike is declared
The convention, after organizing, took
a recess until this afternoon.

the plainest man of England.
One day, as this homely parson sat
In an omnibus, he was amazed by the
persistent staring of a fellow passenger,
who finally said:
Look ERE, parson, would you mind
comm 'ome with me to see my wife?'
Imag lining the wife was sick and need
ed assistance. the clergyman, at great
Inconvenience to himself, went. On ar
irving at the house, the man pointed to
the astonished parson, and said with
q grin of delight:

LESS MEAT
Advice of Family Physician.

Advice of Family Physician.
Formerly people thought meat nee
essary for strength and muscular vigor.
The man who worked hard was sup
posed to require meat two or three
times a day. Science has found out
differently.
1t is now a common thing for the
family physician to order less meat, as
in the following letter from n. Y.
man:
Il had suffered for years with dys-
pepsia and nervousness. My physician
advised me to eat less meat and greasy
foods generally. I tried several things
to take the place of my usual break
fast OF chops, fried potatoes, etc, but
got no relief until l tried Grape-Nuts
food
After using Grape Nuts for the
cereal part of my meals for two years,
1 am now a well man. Grape-Nuts
benefited my health far more than the
$4,000 worth of medicine l had taken
before.
My wife and children are healthier
than they had been for years, and we
are very happy family, largely due
to Grape-Nuts.
I'VE have been so much benefited by
Grape-Nuts that it would be migrate

The MOrQauatic MARRIAGE

The word morganatic is from the late
Latin ''morganatica." morning gift, a
kind of dowry given on the morning be-
fore or after the marriage. The term
Is derived from a still older German
or Anglo-Saxon word, morgen, and re-
fers to one Of the customs connected
with marriage which was always a part
of "left-handed" alliances and so became
especially associated with them. The
term '1eft-handed" in this connection
had its origin in the circumstance that
the bridegroom hands his left hand in
stead of the right to the bride in the
celebration of morganatic marriage.
