San Francisco, Feb. G.

ton Sinclairs friends and those inter-
ested in his work gathered at the Paul
Gerson school OF acting to view a pri-
vate rehearsal of his one-act play
THE Second Story Man." which is one
of three socialistic sketches he expects
to produce throughout the country
under Socialist auspices for the fur
therance Of the doctrine that equality
of operation is the salvation of the
world. The audience followed with
inetense interest the development of
the playwright's theme and discov-
cred as soon as the curtains were
drawn that he had hit upon a thrill
ing situation, which unfolded itself
with breathless action.
The story of The Second Story
Man" is that of burglar who is
forced TO undertake his first job prac-
tically by starvation. He has lost his
position in the steel works, where one
OF his eyes is blown out by an explo-
sion of the Stag furnace, and he has
signed away his claims against the
company while lying blind in the hos
pital. AS soon as the panic came the
works closed down and he was one
OF the first to go. His wife died. his
baby died of poisoned milk; his little
child was killed by street car. Left
alone, he became a "boozer" and a
bum" actuated solely by the desire
or food and for revenge against the
interests which cheated him out of his
rights as a member OF society.
BY a strange chance he finds him
self in the fiat OF the very lawyer who.
acting for the steel company, per-
suaded him to sign the release for
damages-the man he has sworn to
kill on sight He meets the wife who.
instead of fainting, proves sympathet-
ic and urges him to tell his story. As
he gradually gives her the chronicle
Of misery she discovers that il is her
own husband who has been the direct
cause of the hopeless wreck who is
speaking to her.
The husband enters. He covers the
burglar with a revolver, and for an
instant has him at his mercy. His wife
takes the weapon from his hand and
forces him TO recognize his own VIC
tim. The husband is remorseful and
offers to aid the second story man."
who. however, scorns his help-de-
clares. indeed that he is past help and
cannot figure the loss OF his wife and
babies in money. What about the
the other fellows?" he cries. You've
done the same thing to! Who's going
TO help them?"
The wife sees that all the prosper
ity OF herself and her husband, all her
pretty clothes, all her jewels. have
been wrung from the anguish and suf-
fering of others. The burglar, in fact.
attributes IL to THE MILL" "the sys-
tenn" which grinds out mems lives
for its own perpetuity and can never
be checked until a complete change
takes place. Even II the husband
gives up his work there will be some
one else willing to undertake IL. An
unexpected clash comes when. after
al the futile offers of aid from the
husband and the wife, the burglar
makes his offer-nothing less than the
life OF the man whose life he had
sworn to take. He turns him over to
the Judgment OF his own wife and
goes back to the underworld from
which he came leaving the sense of

Another great factor in our peace
full Industrial development is the
printed page. Whether it be the
newspaper, the magazine or the book.
The American people are readers
from early childhood to old age. It
is not that we read too much, but
there is too much that is unfit to
read. The United States would be in
many respects like China today were
it not for our print. In China the
masses who know how to do things,
cannot write, the comparative few
who can write do not know how to
do things. In the United States the
problem of getting information is
largely the problem of finding the
proper newspaper, magazine or book
A high type of patriotism can be
manifested by him who writes and
publishes and may he be conscien-
cious of his responsibility.
Commerce and business, too, have
in their dominions great powers for
good. How quickly might our coun-
try go downward were not the facil-
titles for transportation and industry
kept in control for the interest of the
public at large. Prosperity, however.
follows upon industry according to
the measure that peace can be as
sured, therefore while the forces of
the army and navy are serving the
country by the preservation of order
and peace, those in civil life, each and
every one, has his work to do in pro
noting her industries and institutions

In this country we dc not live from

never come when we shall be COM
PEELED to so live. Often in our in
dustry 1t is necessary to lay the foun-
| dauons for many years to come. 1t
IS not only necessary therefore that
peace be with us now, but that it
snail be safe in promise. To pre-
serve peace, to promote industrial
prosperity and thus consummate the
objects of liberty is task for every
citizen. 1 believe I voice the senti-
ments of their hearts when I thank
YOU gentlement for the Union YOU pre-
served and the chance that you gave
US to work.

JOKE ON EDDY
Bell Boy at MankdtO Hotel Palms off
Poor Cigar on Saak
Centre Man

A Mankato paper publishes the fol-
lowing good story about the Hon.
Frank M. Eddy Of Sauk Centre:
Hon. Frank Eddy, former congress
man, and now distributor of sunshine
as he makes his way along life's path
way, has every reason to believe that
he was stung by bell-hop who per-
forms variety of duties at the hotel
where Mr.. Eddy was a guest during
his stay in this city recently. 1t hap
pened in this way: During Sunday
afternoon, while the former represen-
tatiye was reading his testament in
his room, he was overcome with de-
sire to smoke. 1t was but the work
of q moment to press the button and
in the course of time an urchin ap-
peared on the threshold of the room
where the "homeliest man in Mime
sota' was seated with his feet rest
ing on the table.
"Say, young man, you get me a
good cigar and keep the change" ex-
claimed Mr.. Eddy, as he handed the
bell hop a quarter.

convened them Oh the evening OF
the 2lst. inst, and after a dis
cussion of the, proposition made
by Mr.. Keller, got an expression
of those present. Some favored
one amount and others another,
varying from S10,0O0.00O to
S2O,OOO.OO. But assuming that
Mr.. Keller would consider moth
ing less than $40, 10000, a majority
of those present expressed them
selves favorable to the S2O,OOO.OO
bonus rather than lose the factory.
Your committee is unable to
to recommend any way OF raising
this amount, in case the citizens
wish to raise it, except through
the medium of a new charter,
framed sufficiently elastic, to give
the power of appropriations to
the common council, and, gener-
ally speaking, your committee be-
lieves, clothing the common coun-
Gil with authority to make such
appropriations from the city
treasury is establishing q very
dangerous precedent.

The bell hop gazed full minute at
the congressman that was, and then
his nimble feet took him down the
stairway in a hurry. ''Pears to me
that that old duffer is not in the hab-
it of smoking anything but fivers,"
muttered the youth to himself, and
as that kind of cigars are not handled
by the hotel, the young American
hastened across the street to a cigar
store where he purchased the finest
looking ''florade cabbage" that could
be found. This he handed to Mr..
Eddy, who recognized the kind of
article it was by the band.
Mr.. Eddy laughed softly, took an
other look in the glass, satisfied him
self that if he should happen to VEN
ture into a pasture the COWS would
not eat him up, then lighted the
weed, settled himself for smoke and
gave himself up to thoughts of what
the future would bring forth to the
boy who cleared 20 cents in less than
three minutes, while laboring under
the delusion that the ex-congressman
had just arrived from the stubble.

OfnLfR RESIGNS
Pastor of Congregational Church
Decides to Leave
THREE MONTHS MORE
Tells His People That Resignation
Will Take effect First of Next
February

At the morning service last Sunday
Rev. Frederick H. Oehler rendered
his resignation as pastor of the First
Congregational church of Sauk Gen.
tire. The resignation, said Mr.. Oehler,
was offered to take effect three
months later. This will take it up to
the first of February, 1910.
Mr.. Oehler's resignation came as
surprise to his people. He had just
completed the fifth year of his pastor
ate here and as the relations existing
between pastor and people had always
been pleasant, it was supposed that
he would continue his pulpit minis
trations here.
Mr.. Oehler came here from Wadena
five years ago. He is one of the
strongest preachers that has ever fill
ed the pulpit of the local church and
ranks with the best men in Central
Conference. His preaching is always
of high order, scholarly, the argu-
ment valid and strong, the use of
language the best, and at times his
preaching can be classed as eloquent.
1t is with regret that the resignation
was heard by the congregation.
The church has as yet taken no ac-
tion on Mr.. Oehler's resignation.
AS the annual meeting of the
church occurs the first week i'm Decem-
ber, it is likely that the matter will
60 over until that time.
Mr.. Oehler has no immediate plans
for his time after finishing his work
here. 1t is not likely, however, that
so able preacher as he will be long
without a charge,

lNFANTILF PARAL ySIS
Board of Health Issues Bulletin
Giving Information Relative to
Disease

Office of Board of Health, Sauk
Centre, Mimi, Nov. 2, 1909. To the
Public:-
Inasmuch as few cases of social
ed "Infantile Paralysis" have lately
been found in Sauk Centre and vicini-
ty and in view of the fact that much
of misleading character has been
published in the daily papers, we
deem it well to make a few remarks
for the guidance of the public.
First: Anterior Polio Myetitis''
or Infantile Paralysis, is not new
disease; it is well known to the older
class of doctors and quite a number
Of cases have been treated incur city.
Second: lis not hot weather dis
ease and does not disappear with the
advent OF cold weather; I'm proof of
which we had no cases hereabout un-
til the heat Of summer was long past.
Third: The disease is contagious,
not actively so, as diptheria or scarlet
fever, but sufficiently so to require
some quarantine regulations.
The SYMPTOMS are misleading and
out of all proportion to the results.
In fatal cases death occurs from a
few hours to few days from first in
dication Of sickness. Symptoms in
brief are as follow: -. e.
Nausea, vomiting, fever and head
ache, stupor or drowsinesss. After
two or three days, during which the
child has been treated for Indigestion,
it becomes apparent that there is loss
of motion in one or more of the extre-
mites. This loss of motion becomes
more marked hourly, and finally it is
shown that there is complete paralysis
of both legs, or one leg and one arm.
Meanwhile, the child rapidly RECEIVERS
its former. health and spirits, regains
it's appetite, returns to play, but the
paralysis remains for weeks or months
and sometimes for years. Ultimately
there is improvement, which extends
to full or only partial recovery of mo-
tion.
Treatment For this you must de-
pend on your family doctor.
To avoid contagion, keep away from
it. The dangerous and senseless hab-
it of visiting the sick will account for
many cases of the disease. If it be-
comes necessary from humane motives
or by reason of family ties, to make
such visits, leave your children at
home, and on your return do not
transfer the germs of a dangerous dis
ease from the lips of sick child to
those of well one.
Finally: There is little danger of
an epidemic. The tendency is not in
that direction, as shown by outbreaks
in other towns, Also, bear in mind
the symptoms; nausea and vomit-
ing, head ache and fever, stupor and
drowsiness.

less amusements. Some movable pro-
pertr disappeared but things were
quite orderly. The chief had three

to do.

stirred things up considerably. Mr..
Kusba was engaged in hauling manure
and at the time the team, hitched to
a big farm wagon, was standing in the
