peculiar advantage at tho pres

The work Of years in caro-
fully selecting a stock of Oriental
rugs-always maintaining q
standard-always keeping the
stock at its highest point Oliver
satility as we'll as excellence
is yielding unexpected rewards.
Those rewards ARE GOING
TO OUR CUSTOMERS, whose
appreciation of the efforts Of
this house, unusual in tho rug
business, has been consistent
and continuous.
The Joseph Wild & Co. col.

To appreciate this, you must
know that the entire rug mar
ket is in a state of confusion.
Usual sources of supply have
been completely cut off.
While vagrant 'lots" of rugs.

wreckage of the unfortunate

You may be just as sure of
the irreproachaDle character ana
value of the Oriental rug pur-
chased here NOW, as at any

The prices are as reasonable
as can possibly be quoted for

The rug leadership, held for

being thoroughly justified at a
time when it is of greatest value.

time when dozens of Indian tepees
were pitched on his fathers farm near
Red Wing. The Sioux occupied one

was their custom to go out and fight
each other at regular intervals, the
successful war parties returning with
the scalps of their victims every little
while. When the Indian massacre
took place in 1862 Buse shouldered a
musket and helped to drive back the
savages, and in 1863 he enlisted with

ST. PAUL JUDGE STARTLES ALL
Threatens Dismissal of Jury if Charges
of Being Tempered With Are True
None Admits 1t.

st. Paul, Feb. 4.-"Reports have
come to me that there are pools being
made on the outcome of this trial;
that the jury is being tampered with
and that it is leaking information
Judge Morrison startled the entire
courtroom at the trial of Martin Flan-
agan, former st. Paul chief of police,
and Fred Turner, a detective, on
graft charges. He made his statement
from the bench.
Turning full to the jury, he said:
'Is it true? If it is, ! will dismiss
you instantly"
No one answered The jurymen
glanced at one another, amazement
on their faces. The courtroom buZzed.
The Judge waited full minute, then
announced:
Very well, let the trial proceed"
The defense opened its case with a
statement from C. c. McElwee, attor
ney for the accused former police Off
cials, that Martin j. Flanagan and
Fred Turner were the victims of CO.
lossal frame-up and he would show
they were absolutely guiltless to the
satisfaction of the judge, the jury, and
the public"
The first witness for the defense
was r. M. Armour, city attorney of
Great Falls, Mont.
Armour was brought from Great
Falls to testify that in several conver-
sations with Willie Wolff the latter
showed a powerful animosity toward
Flanagan and Turner and made
threats to "get them" Instead, he
told of Wolff's statement to him which
accused Flanagan and Turner of get
ting their shares of underworld graft
of the ratio in which the money was
split, and finally his intention to go
back to st. Paul and make clean
statement of the whole affair.
