Six men are prisoners in the Fill
more county jail at Preston ac-
cused of completely in remarkable
kidnapping and murder conspiracy,
and other arrests are expected soon.
Emil Dreckman, who lives on

killed. 49,. ~.
The Dreckman home was attacked
by a band of men on the night of
April 9, but they were driven away.
The county attorney, after thor

Lewis Nixon lnvents Shell to Render
Death Dealing Airships lnnocuous.
Lewis Nixon, the shipbuilder, has an
ticipated the aerial warship by invent
ing gun with a shell that will render
1t innocuous. Mr. Nixon has worked
a long time on his invention, and, ac-
cording to person in his office at
New York the other day, he was not
yet ready to make it public.
The gun and carriage are not the
principal features Of this aeroplane
and balloon destroyer. 1t is the she'll
that gives the invention its impor-
lance. Mr.. Nixon is now trying to OBJ
tain foreign patents on It.
1T will destroy any airship," he said.
Il have devised it particularly for the
destruction of dirigible balloons. With
the shell have devised the gas is ex-
ploded in the envelope through igni-
ton, which is caused by the solution
in the shell. This destroys the bag
almost instantly"
Mr.. Nixon expects to give a public
demonstration Of his invention at his
Staten Island shipyards soon.

ClGARETS DOOMED IN MINNESOTA
Law Prohi itinS Their Sale or Man.
ufacture in This State Goes
Into Effect Aug. lst.

On Thursday Gov. Johnson signed
the bill which makes it a misdemeanor
for anyone to handle cigarets in Min
nesota except for interstate business.
Doomsday for the 'coffin nail" will
be August 1st.
The bill was rushed through the
house under suspension of rules in
such hurry that most representatives.
probably did not know exactly what
happened. A strong fight was made
for it in the senate and it passed on
general orders.
The measure provides "that it shall
be unlawful for any person, by him
self, clerk, servant, employee or agent,
directly or indirectly, upon any pre-
tense or by any device, to manufacture,
sell, exchange, barter, dispose of,give
away Or keep for sale, any cigaret,
cigaret paper or cigaret wrapper made
or prepared for the purpose of being
filled with tobacco for smoking, and
any person violating any of the pro-
visions of the act shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, provided that the pro-
vision thereof shall not apply to the
sales of jobbers doing an interstate
business
After having agreed with Senator
Clapp that the tariff bill is mon
strosity, and failing even to get free
lumber, all the Minnesota congressmen
crawled to Cannon and his hold-up
gang and voted for the bill-all except
Hammond, the only democrat employ
ed to serve the people Of this state in
congress. These republicans, every
one of them, will now come home and
seek to make the voters believe that
the new tariff law is one of the great
est blessings ever conferred upon the
country. But the democrat, Winfield
Scott Hammond, is the only one with
a record with which to prove his fdel-
lty to the interests and welfare of the
people.-Albert Lea Standard.
March 5th next year and every year
thereafter will be observed publicly in
Minnesota as I'M others' Day" If the
senate concurs in the resolution passed
in the house on Monday and intro
duced by Representative Spooner. In
selecting March 5th as the day to be
commemorated the author of the bill
paid a compliment to the memory of
the mother of Minnesota's present
chief executive. Gov. Johnson s
mother was born on March 9Th.
The statue of Matthew Stanley Quay
is all ready to be set up in the rotunda

MILLERS BOOSTING PRICES
First Patents Selling for $500 at
Minneapolis.

The bull market in wheat has re-
suited in the boosting of the price of
flour in Minneapolis until first patents
are now selling at from Sc to $500 a
barrel, or about So a barrel more than
prices long obtaining there. Some 1926
leaves can be made from a barrel of
flour and the bakers say that count
ing labor and other expenses they can
no more than break even at the pres
ent cost of flour. They are now max
Ing fourteen-ounce loaf in sixteen
ounce pans and are considering an
agreement to reduce the weight of
the loaf to twelve ounces. In order to
do this new pans and other apparatus
will have to be substituted for ma
chinery now used. The price of the
loaf, 5 cents, will not be advanced.

Style that Holds-S1O to SIS

These clothes have style. They
are pure wool (guaranteed) and are
splendidly tailored. Hence they
hold their style and wear we'll.
And they sell at $40 to $25.
No other Guaranteed pure wool
clothes sell at such prices.
We know the honest men who
make CLOrHCRAFr and we know
the remarkable processes and meth
DDS that enable them to save several
dollars in factory costs on each suit
or Overcoat.
We know that the savings from
these processes enable the makers
to put better woolens and better
tailoring il these clothes.

Cabinet Officer VERSUS Spectator
Two Opposing Views Of the Remarkable Wheat Situation
Prevailing at the Present Time.

Mr.. Patten is operating or speculate
ing in wheat for his own profit. His
whole object is to make money. This
department is animated with the sole
idea of bene6ting the country at large.
Our information as to wheat is gath
cred by 100000 trusted, earnest, honest
citizens all over the land-men who
serve without compensation of any
kind. I will set the statements of Mr..
Patten against those of the $50, 1000
honest men and leave it to the public
to determine which tells truth.-Hon.
James A. Wilson, Secretary of Agri-
culture.

I love to speculate, and I'm willing
to go down to Washington and tell
those fellows there that I am a specula-
tor; and I think will find them all in
the same boat. There is speculation
in every business. I say the talk that
I have corner in May wheat is non
sense. I don't deal by the ticker. I
don't want people to think I do. It
does not interest me. tell you I do
business differently from almost any
speculator in the world. I believe in
being absolutely on the square and
above board. flames A. Patten, the

Renaissance OF MoDJEskA.

indianapolis Doctor Tells Of Polish Ac-
tress' Early Love Of Shakespeare.
Nine. Helena Modjeska, the famous
Polish tragedienne who recently died
at her island home at Bay City. CAL,
was born in Cracow, Poland, in 1874.
AS a child she saw much of the thea
ter. At seventeen she was married to
a local theatrical manager and began
acting in company that contained
half dozen members of her own fam
lily. ..@
1t was a most humble beginning
Modjeska's wardrobe consisted of two
dresses-a white one for comedy and
black one for tragedy. But in time
she achieved more than a local repu-
tation, and in 1868, when she appeared
at the theater in Warsaw, she was
already widely known and had re-
ceived invitations to play in France
and Germany. e.. ...
Nine. Modjeska's first husband hav-
ing died in 1864, she was married in
1868 to Charles Chlapowski, Count b.
zenta. She remained in Warsaw as
the leading woman Of the best theater
there until 1874, when political troubles
caused her husband to emigrate to the
United States. The couple founded a
Polish colony in southern California,
and it was there, in 1876, that Nine.
Modjeska first met Edwin Booth, who,
after hearing her recite, advised her to
study English. In less than year she
appeared as Adrienne Lecouvreur in
After that her services were con-
stantly in demand .-.:.. =.
DR.. w. B. Clarke Of Indianapolis,
who contributes Renaissance and
letter from Nine. Modjeska regarding
her early love for Shakespeare, says:
During her last engagement at Ma
caulay's theater, Louisville, in March,
1899, she sent me a letter in her own
handwriting, which has never been
published. Not long before this had
read before my medical society pa
per entitled Shakespeare In Medicine.'
just at the close of Nine Modjeska's
Indianapolis engagement 1 sent her a
copy of the paper. She went thence
to Louisville, and from there sent me
the following letter, which throws a
pretty sidelight on her character and
as student of Shakespeare:
louisville, KY, March 4, 1885,
my Dear Dr.. Clarke-Excuse my delay
in thanking you for sending me your ar
t1cle, Shakespeare In Medicine" but I
! have been very busy since last Wednes-
day.
'Your article is very interesting, and
have enjoyed it thoroughly I am so
thankful for what you say about Shake
| speare. He is SO great that people are
head could contain such 1mmensities of
wisdom and poetry. only bow and be-
! lieve in him, as I always did, in spite of
the doubts of his authorship expressed by
narrow minded people.
II shall never forget, when girl OF fir
teen, I took hold of copy of Hamlet
| In Polish translation. The copy belonged
to the theater of Cracow, and, not being
able to purchase it, copied the whole
! play and carried it with me as rare
| treasure, studying the scenes of Hamlet
and Ophelia, all in great secret How
| much more adored him when read his
plays with matured mind! Yours sincere
ly, and with repeated thanks,
HELENA MODJESKA."
In 1888 Nine. Modjeska acted Juliet
to the Romeo Of Edwin Booth in
Booths theater, New York, and there
after was frequently associated with

FROM ST. PAUL TO CHICAGO
General Offices Of Chicago Great West
ern to Be Removed

President Horace G. Burt of the
Chicago Great Western railroad has
decided to remove the general
Offices of the company from st. Paul
to Chicago as soon as possible. The
preventing factor at this time is a
lack of means and the difficulty of
securing the consent of the receiver
and of the court to spend the money
necessary to make the change. The
headquarters of the road were kept in
st. Paul because it was the home of
former President A. B. stickney. Mr..
Burt believes that Chicago is the log
ical headquarters.
