The recent choking incident in the United States senate involving Messrs Bai ley of Texas and Beveridge of Indi­ana was duplicated in the outer office of the Minneapolis c i ty engineer this morning, when Aldeiman James Dwyer of the tenth ward and City Engineer George W Sublette t a m e together in a personal encounter It is significant that in each case it was a democratic s t a t e s ­man who was the choker and a republican who was the choked

There has been a touch of bad blood between the city engineer and the tenth ward man for some months Alderman Dwyer complains that he does not* get his share of the patronage distributed by the city engineer, and he has made vociferous protests about three t imes a day ever s ince the outside w c k be­gan last spring The city engineer's choler has been ris ing steadily and to-day burst i t s bounds Alderman Rand pre­cipitated the conflict With Alderman Dwyer he was engaged in conversation in the outer office when Mr. Sublette came out

' Mr City Engineer, le t me present your good friend, Alderman Dwyer," put in the s ixth ward man, wi th a low bow of mock courtesy

Instead of answering the "josh ' in kind, the city engineer, as one of those present describes it, "went up a mi le in the air " Drawing himself up, he replied frigidly,

Mr Dwyer is no friend of mine I don t want l i a i s for my friends."

On the instant the ice man's hands leaped for the city official's throat His burly form followed Getting a good grip, Alderman Dwyer pressed his antagonist down over the counter and w a s disengag­ing one hand to put in a ser ies of short arm jabs -when Rand and others near at hand pounced upon him and dragged him out ot range *

All w a s dire confusion Everybody in the office crowded to the scene The city engineer s stenographer screamed lust i ly and hastened out of Khe danger zone After being parted the wrathful pair tried hard to get at each other again and were with difficulty kept apart Fol lowing the exchange of a few heated compliments, the bel l igerents were hustled away The citj engineer's only marks were a badly ruffled collar The alderman carried away a very red face and some black stains on his hcnd v here the citj official had pounded him with an inkstand

Vondricek chose the highest place on the bridge, cl imbed to the rail ing and dropped head first The crews on the boom below saw his body whirl ing through space, the'y saw it strike the water and send up a splash twenty feet high, and then sent up a cheer when they saw a head come to the surface, and, a few seconds later saw the man, very much alive, strike out for the shore Buckley and Logan, two log men, jumped into a row boat and started for the swimming man, and in t w o minutes had him in the boat

"Tips" on Soo stock are at a discount in a select local circle, which brought around the present high mark on the as ­surance of men supposed to be ' close in ' that the quotation would take a big jump th i s week

Minneapolis has a reasonably large number of men who have made money out of recent advances in Soo preferred and common Some of these bought the stock when it was very low Others bought when the s teady advance had pro­gressed well toward present figures There are others who have been holding stock at a price where l i t t le if any profit can be realized on present quotations

Everybody bel ieves that Soo stock i s a good investment and that it wi l l u l t i ­mately go considerably higher But quick profits are attractive This explains why within the past two weeks ' t ips" that Soo dividends would soon be declared and that Soo stock was a "good buy ' were treasured as gold certificates The tips grew warmer the latter part of the week The directors were to hold a special meet ­ing Monday and the word w a s passed that President Lowry, General Manager Pen­nington and a good majority of the board would vote for a 3% per cent dividend on preferred This would not only boost the price of preferred, but common as well On Sunday dividends were consid­ered such a sure thing that t ips were passed to buy on the opening Monday morning Some bought The Soo board of directors did not discuss dividends and 't ips" now have a bad tas te to the quick

Tenth "Ward Wigwam to -n ight v

Miss Eleanor Gist, who made her debut with the Frawley company recently, is the wife of Frederick Edward MacKay, a wel l known New York writer on theatri­cal topics She was born m Baltimore a city famed for i t s beautiful women, but it is doubtful if even Baltimore can show "any more at home" like Miss Gist How­ever, she does not owe her posit ion upon the s tage to her beauty alone, for last season, with Grace George, she scored a pronounced hit in "Under Southern Skies "

Miss Gist comes from a good, old Mary­land family, and *he portrait of one of her ancestors hangs in Independence Hal l , Philadelphia Her father was an officer in the confederate army Another of her ancestors came to this country with Leonard Calvert, Lord Balt imore, when he w a s made governor of Maryland by Charles I in 1633 This matter of family is one of which Miss Gist is somewhat proud She is also proud of her abi l i ty to handle a yacht

In her dress ing room at the Metropoli­tan, Miss Gist has displayed a photograph of a trim looking s loop which she sa i l s herself, and in which she has frequently entertained her friends She keeps th i s yacht upon the sound, for use when she i s in New York, and never has sailed upon inland waters However, she was obvi­ously delighted when told that she would h a \ e an opportunity to display her nau­tical ski l l on Minnetonka, and said she had heard of the lake and ,of the crack racers upon it

As an enthusiast ic horsewoman Miss Gist i s familiar with the pedigree of fa­mous horses . Miss Gist,- if the expres­sion is permissable is familiar with the pedigree of every yacht that has won races anywhere in America She ex­pressed a strong desire to see the Onawa, and asked what had become of Hood­lum " "After it left Boston, you know, Bhe explained sorrowfully, "I never heard of Hoodlum again "

Her sloop, and a toy bull terrier, weighing only four pounds, are Miss Gist s onlj pe t s , but she is enthusiast ic when speaking of either of them She can and does ask more questions in a minute than the most expert interviewer The dimensions of "Onawa,' i t s sail area, and the speed the boat has attained are marvelous in her eyes and she Is most anxious to see the yacht in the water

Although Miss G i s t s career upon the stage has been brief she has appeared in several important N e w York Productions and, in the s lang of stagedom, has invar­iably "made good During the season of 1900-1901 she played the Firefly with Nat Goodwin in "When We Were Twenty-one " She was Lady Venet ia in Blanche Bates' production of "Under Two Flags and was also a member of Grace George s J o m p T y i n addition to these parts M ss GUt played a season of ten weeks with the Giffen company in Richmond L a " y Giffen, it wi l l be remembered, was once part proprietor of a stock company that Jlayed here during the summer season In the Richmond company his wife, Grayce Scott, an old Minneapolis favor­ite, played the leading feminine roles

Fred L Malone, the Indicted police de­tective, pleaded not guilty before Judge Simpson this noon, but was granted, until next Tuesday to withdraw the plea and until next Wednesday to argue a motion made this morning to quash the indict­ment Some new questions are raised that are at least novel and interesting

When Judge Simpson was ready to hear Fred H Ayres, counsel for Malone, ob­jection fir&a promptly made to the grand jury panel as a whole and also to the members severally In support of the ob­ject ion it was al leged that in drawing the jury the required number of ballots were not taken from the grand jury box, that the drawing was not conducted in the presence of the officers prescribed in the s ta tu tes , that i t was not conducted at least fifteen days before the court, that the ballots were not legally drawn with regard to folding and the receptacle for them, that the drawing did not take place in the presence of a judge of the district court, that the indictment was not found, indorsed and presented as required by the s tatute

On th i s latter point it i s further a l ­leged that Lester B Elwood, who was supposed to be present when the evidence against Malone was considered, was not actually there and did not hear the evidence, neither was he present when the indictment was voted, or when i t was returned on June 26 In addition Isaac McMichael, who was present when the in­dictment was reported, had not been pres­e t when the vot^e was taken In other words, only fifteen grand Jurors were present, he says, when the indictment was voted, whereas the law requires at least pixteen for *a quorum

In the objections to the jurors indi­vidually it is alleged that they are not members of the jury within the meaning of the s ta tutes , that each and every one i s prosecutor, and furthermore, their s tate of mind is such that they cannot act impartial ly and without prejudice to the substantial rights of the defendant

The only affidavit presented was in re­lat ion t o the absence of Grand Jurors Mc­Michael and Elwood, but the defense e x ­pects to have many more, and in order to g ive ample t ime in which to make prepa­ration, the bearing of the motion was postponed until next Wednesday Ass i s t ­ant County Attorney Al J Smith urged that a plea be entered and this was con­sented to wi th the proviso that any m o ­tion desired could be made Inspector Malone then formally entered a plea of not guilty.

Not for many years has tthere been a summer in Minne,a/polis when the coal bins looked less lonesome than they do now Instead of that dreary spectacle of an empty bin and an unused shovel on the floor, te l l ing of hard earned dollars that have gone up in smoke, there is a full bin, a shovel hanging on the nail ready for use, and in the mind'of the head of the house the happy thought that no matter what January brings the anthracite i s in and paid for

The money will go up in smoke just the same and there will be some ground for regret that it has to go that way, but for the time there is pleasure in the knowledge that the first chill winds of ret ir ing October will be combatted by a fire fed from a full coal bin instead of capering madly to the music of "James, Go Hustle the Coal "

Minneapolis «oal ideapers are doing a big business, the hest of any sumer for many years The continuance of the strike and the general conditions in the coal market have resulted in a general "hunch" that this is the t ime to put in the winter supply of coal

Th eanthracite coal trust has had a coaxing plan in force for two years , de­signed to induce the public to buy its winter supply of coal in summer, but the 50 cents per ton reduction offered in April has never worked with the charm that the trust expected

(After gett ing through those months in which the coal bin makes heavy drafts on the exchequer, the consumer has been in­clined to take a vacation for the hot months, to escape for a t ime that gall ing tribute to the coal trust

The fact that coal i s g e t t i n g scarce in the northwest , that none i s coming up the lakes, and that the strike may last sever­al weeks, points to a scarcity of coal and higher prices, and the consumer is putt ing in his entire supply One of the large coal companies did a June bus iness equal to that of some of the Winter months

The demand of the past two weeks has lowered the supply in the sheds of local companies material ly As far as the summer demand goes the coal men are not alarmed, but the posibi l i t ies of the futlre are being canvassed thoroughly. There i s much interest in the coming convention of coal miners at Indianapolis on which the anthracite miners depend for support

The fact that the independent operators in the Pittsburg district have decided to to-operate wi th the Pittsburg Soft Coal company in maintaining prices will it is believed, affect the northwest very l i t t le

The soft coal trade of the northwest is now practically control led by the big companies in the Pittsburg and West Virginia distr icts through the shipping and dock faci l i t ies , and the changed at t i ­tude of the independents wil l cut no fig­ure.

LEWISHON'S WILL ?«

F P Frazler of Chicago, whose firm has been act ive In the Chicago corn deal, was asked for an opinion to-day on corn and the grain markets in general Mr Fraz-ler gave his ideas by long distance t e l e -prone to A G Chambers, as follows

I have never known a corn crop to be ruined by too much rain at this time of the year West of the Missouri the growing crop of corn is almost perfect I believe the government rqport on July 10 will in­dicate a crop of 2 200,000 000 People trading in December corn have an erroneous impres slon They think the new corn will grade No 2, but it never does, and the man who sells December corn to day on the prospect of a good crop is in great danger of being cornered and to any set of people that would buy the December, the shorts would have to deliver old corn or settle The condition of the winter wheat is fully up to our last month s report, but we have had so much rain that the quality is likely to be very poor and we may have but a little contract grade We expect to see wheat arriving here in P few days grading "no grade, ' No 4 and No 3 red and some of it sprouted, so this places July shorts in a bad position The spring wheat has not quite held its own I t has been a little too cold, but still we have a good prospect Oats are in a very dan­gerous condition with so much rain They are badly blown down and they are water-soaked and if it should clear off bright and hot they would rust and be very light, prob­ably would not weigh over 22 to 25 pounds to the bushel and they will also be late in coming to market So we don't see how many new oats can arrive In Chicago in July From a railroad and financial standpoint we think the crops are perfectly satisfactory.

Slipless Oxf orck Regal" Oxfords " clasp heel and instep so

snugly, that they never slip nor chafe* Because—they are made upon lasts designed

for Oxfords only,—instead of upon high laced snoe lasts extemporized into Oxfords*

Because—the vamps are cut for right and left* from patterns shaped to each last—instead of from the usual "interlocking" patterns, which economize leather and labor* at the expense of tit* and shape-retention*

Every Regal Oxford has a sole of genuine old fashioned Oak tanned leather* ^ * °" x 3B"

which adds a dollar t o t h e wear* at not a farthing extra cost to you*

Made in 37 new styles^ 8 widths and 18 half sizes.
