Former St. Paul Man Dies —Edward Doyle, formerly of St. Paul, died yester- day in Minneapolis. Mr. Doyle was for many years in the employ of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul railway.

MOZART CLUB GIVES "MARTHA" TONIGHT Local Musical Organization Will Repro- duce the Opera With Strong Company. The Mozart club's second presentation of Flotow's romantic opera, "Martha, or the Fair at Richmond," will come off to- night at Mozart hall, on Franklin street. It does not happen very often that the pretty opera is presented in this city, so when the first performance took place last month the hall was filled to over- flowing, and from present appearances it looks as though there would hardly be standing room left tonight. At the rehearsal Monday night the opera was given splendidly, and the club expects to cover itself with new laurels. Danz has charge of the instrumental part of the opera. Mining Company Sues for Insurance. The Central Montana Mines company commenced suit in the district court yes- terday against two insurance companies for $9,800 each. The companies named as defendants arc the Royal Insurance Company of Maryland and the Fireman's Fund Insurance company of California.

YERXA & CO, 6EVEHTH AND CEDAB SIS, Health Commissioner Ohage Issues Strenuous Orders to His Inspectors. "If there is the least suspicion of smallpox, fumigate the premises and vaccinate the inmates. Take no risks, advise every one you meet to submit to vaccination and see that the pro- prietors of all public places have their help inoculated." These are Dr. Ohage's latest orders to the inspectors of the health depart- ment, and they are warned to see that they are carried out under pain of dismissal. Each is endowed with po- lice powers and the same are to be exercised when the health of the city is involved. Cognizant of the fact that smallpox is prevalent throughout the state, Dr. Ohage is making preparations to meet it and says if he can help it the dread- ed disease will not visit St. Paul. Rail- roads, the street car company, all hotels, the restaurants, in fact all em- ployers of help who cater to the public in any way, are asked to assist in the prevention, and to this end circulars asking that they order the vaxx'hiation of all of their employes have been mailed to each of them. Dr. Ohage has prepared for the. clean up by ordering a large supply of vac- cine, and figures that in the next two weeks his department alone will vac- cinnate 25,000 persons. THOMAS A. EDISON SAYS THAT INVENTION DOES NOT PAY —ALTHOUGH HE IS RICH. The statement made by Thomas Edison that invention does not pay sounds rather queer coming from an inventor who has grown rich, but there is much truth in it. Inventors seldom have the business capacity necessary to market an invention, and are fre- quently the victims of unscrupulous but able financiers. Moreover, many an ingenious contrivance cannot be made to pay because it lack3 the qual- ities necessary to make it valuable, which are, First: That it must be new and useful; Second, one for which there is no cheap or convenient sub- stitute; Third, so patented so as to protect it against infringements; Fourth, it must be something which great numbers of persons need and will buy. Among recent inventions which combine all of these advantages to a marked degree may be mentioned the "Doyle Invention" for securing perfect combustion of any kind of fuel. This invention is one of the triumphs of modern science, and one for which they have been striving for many years. It is entirely new and is care- fully patented in the United States, Canada and Europe. Experiments have shown that it effects a saving of 50 per cent in the use of any kind of fuel. No invention can be more use- ful than one like the great Doyle Air Burner, which effects an economy that is world wide in its scope, and marks a new era in industrial affairs. As every householder is the user of more or less fuel this is an invention which appeals to, and will be bought by, practically the whole population for the very good reason that they cannot afford to do without it. It will, in a very short time, save .the amount it costs to buy it. It promises to be as profitable as the sewing machine, the cotton gin, the gimlet pointed screw, the telegraph and telephone and others of the most profitable inventions. It is a satisfaction to know that the inven- tor has not been frozen out, he is a stockholder and vice president of the Doyle Air Burner Company of Chicago, Minneapolis and St. Paul, which is marketing the Doyle invention. The company's local office is 86 East Fifth street, where its stoves and furnaces are on exhibition. NOT INSANE, ONLY A LITTLE BIT CRAZY Inevitable Effect of Liquor Dispenseo to Inhabitants of Iron Range Country. "Oh, I'm not insane' I'm only a lit- tle bit crazy," protested "William Cur- ran, an insane man, to State Agent W. A. Gates, who was taking him to Chicago for return to his home In Toledo, Ohio. The man, miner, was re- cently picked up at Two Harbors, Minn., suffering from alcoholic demen- tia, produced by the strenuous liquor of the iron range country. "Every year we pick up from ten to fifteen fellows on the range suffer- ing from this same trouble," said Mr. Gates, "and deport them. There are many more who are sent to the asy- lums whom we hear nothing about. It is the whisky that does it, whisky charged with fusel oil and tobacco .iuice, and goodness knows what else. It makes them wild for a while, but they recover as much balance as they probably ever had after they undergo treatment for a while. The man I de- ported recently was one of the class. He wasn't very bad when I left him, but if he ever gets back where that whisky is he will be as bad as ever. Ladies' Matinee at the Star. Manager Singer will give his second la-, dies' matinee at the Star theater. The attraction is Scribner's Big Company, one of the best shows seen at the Star this season. No smoking will be permit- ted at this matinee and a large attend- ance is looked for. Our Safety Deposit Vaults are the bast. Security Trust Company,* N. Y. Life Bldg. "So do I," added Aid.

OHAGE ONCF MORE ALDERMEN AGAIN REFUSE TO ADOPT RESOLUTIONS FOR AP- PROACH TO BATHS MATTER IS REFERRED TO A SPECIAL COMMITTEE Acting With a Similar Committee From the Assembly, It Will Visit Harriet Island and View the Exist- ing Conditions —Opponents of Dr. Ohage Advocate a Bridge. Health Commissioner Ohage and his plans for a safe approach to the pub- lic baths failed to score at the meeting of the board of aldermen last night, but he so badly mixed up the opposi- tion that the condition of the whole affair is just now largely a matter -of conjecture. Aid. Dobner led the opposition to the consideration of any of the meas- ures advocated by the health commis- sioner. Aid. Bantz just as vehemently advocated them. In the rear of the council chamber Dr. Ohage's cham- pions, in the shape of organized labor, were plentifully sprinkled. "Just let us alone; we'll settle this whole thing. We'll build a bridge," de- clared Aid. Dobner. "Dr. Ohage knows what is best and he has the backing of the public," re- JT COST NASH $25 TO "ALSO RUN" FOR PLACE II L?i if I r-< Isr^ S«rS Sr S 111 llrifiHL^l With four complete wards finished in the recount of the Wagener-Rogers contest for the office of clerk of the courts, John Wagener, the contestant, had made a net gain of ten votes when the day's work was completed yester- day. The four wards disposed of by the referees are the First, Second, Third and Fourth, containing a total of forty-two precincts, or more than one-third of the total number of pre- cincts of the county. On Monday, Wagener gained fourteen, but yester- day E. G. Rogers had the best of it by four votes, leaving Wagener a total gain of ten at the present time. Trouble came when the Eleventh torted Aid. Bantz. "The laboring peo- ple of St. Paul are with him for a land approach and I am with them and the doctor." "How do you stand, Aid. liohland?" "With Dr. Ohage every time.

Every- one of these measures is simply a re- quest, the passage of which won't harm anyone. Tou can't sidetrack any- thing with my vote." SCHURM AN QUITS HIS CONTEST ON YOERG Three times the battle was fought a.nd each time in order, one resolution calling for the investigation of the Gedney lease, another ordering the Omaha to install automatic gates at the entrance of the public baths, and still another politely requesting the Omaha to remove the Gedney spur track, went down to defeat. Five— Aid. Bantz, Dahlquist, Hlnkens, Roh- land and President Huber —persistent- ly backed the doctor and his plans, while six—Aid. Dobner, Corning, Buschmann, Elder, Holt and Moriarty —as vigorously opposed them. Aid. Dobner, who led the opposition, contended that the safety of the ap- proach could be better brought about and the difficulty solved by the coun- cil itself, and to that end advocated the passage of a resolution selecting three members from each body to visit the island and view the conditions. Any recommendations they made he would be willingto stand by. After Counting Eight Precincts Ex-Mem- ber Sees Speakership Hopes Die. The recount of tfre -ballots in the Schurman-Yoerg- conteirt, in which C. S. Schuiman contested the election of An- thony Yoerg- as representative, was call- ed off yesterday at the request of Mr. Schurir.an. Eight precincts had been re- counted, showing no change in the re- turns of the canvassing board, which de- clared Yoerg elected by a majority of 64. Such a resolution was introduced by Aid Hinkens, and as the Ohage resolu- tions were introduced they were hand- ed over to this committee instead of being indorsed direct The committee from the board consists of Aid. Bantz, Rohland and Dobner. It was selected by Aid. Huber. An interested spectator of the pro- ceedings was Pierce Butler, attorney for Omaha. The representatives of th£ Trades and Labor assembly said little except to indorse Dr. Ohage's plans. As the matter stands now a joint committee will visit the island and furnish the two bodies their views as to what will make the approach safe. Aid. Dobner is advocating a bridge. Dr. Ohage says a bridge will cost not less than $75,000, and he refuses to have the budget burdened with such an amount. His scheme of a land approach, he says, is the cheapest and the most permanent. Dr. Ohage was not pres- ent at the meeting last night. precinct of the Second ward was taken up yesterday. On the recount Rogers lost one and Wagener gained two. Mr. Rogers insisted that the ballots be counted again. William Louis Kelly Jr., who had been reading-, thought this was an in- sinuation, and' suggested that some- one else do the reading. He suggested Hiler H. Horton, Rogers' attorney. Wagener objected to anyone except one of the referees reading, and finally George Walsh agreed to read. After the ballots had been recounted for the third time, the result was still a gain of one for Wa^ener, but without loss for Rogers. A few moments later, George Walsh PEACE REIGNS AT M'KINLEY SCHOOL Pugilistic Demonstrations Become Rare as Clans- men Know Each Other. The merry war of "gangs" and the personal jousts of "bravos," represent- ing the contending factions which for a period following the opening of the McKinley school kept the neighbor- hood in a ferment and gave a belli - gerent appearance to an otherwise peaceful community have under the firm discipline of the school melted away. The last offender has subsided; the leaders have called a truce; the vaunts and jeers no longer lead to blows; the bloody noses, scratched cheeks and torsi garments which at- tested to fearful conflict have given way to bright and morning faces and commonplace* toilets. The war is over, reports Miss Lennon, the principal. There is nothing doing at the Mc- Kinley. When the school opened there came clans from the Jackson, from the Mad- ison, from the Maxfield, hostile in spirit and strenuous in showing it. In such a variously populated district as that embraced by the new school there were certain, social distinctions; cer- tain differentiations of antecedents which bred instinctively questions of precedence and superiority. In the youthful idea of justice the g-age of battle holds high places as the dis- penser of right.. The strength of Her- cules is -worshiped; the cunning of Ulysses not deipised; but here the creed ends. So when the warlike clans assembled there was more or less fric- tion. The "line," the "ring" and the "chip" were appealed to In reply to taunts and recriminations, slurs and gibes. "There were sometimes as many as fifteen fights in a day at first," said Supt. Smith yesterday. "The rivalry was strong among the boys, but now absolute discipline has subdued them and everything is going quietly. They are living together In harmony."

Contrary to expectations, the grand jury will not be discharged when it makes its report to Judge- Brill today, "but will ask to be continued in session for an indefinite period. It is stated that the wine room question is the cause of the jury's desire to continue its deliberations. When the jury adjourned last Friday it was announced that it would not meet again until today, but it was learned yesterday that, since the Fri- day adjournment, the members have been busy making a personal investi- gation of a number of places which have been under investigation. As a result of these personal investigations, the jurors have a personal knowledge of the manner in which nearly every wine room in the city has been con- ducted, and consequently several in- Scene During the Wagener-Rogers Recount* When a Second Reading of the Ballots Is Demanded. and Ed Dahl became involved in an- other argument. Dahl insisted that Walsh was altogether too gruff in his language. "When you speak to me, don't talk as though I were a dog; talk to me like a gentleman," said Dahl. "I'll talk as I please," retorted Walsh. "You don't know any more about a gentleman than a dog knows about -Mars." After the referees had had it out, the recount was again taken up, and nothing more occurred to mar the rou- tine of the count. The work is progressing rapidly and it is expected the result will be known before the end of the present week. saloonkeepers have already received the tip that their places have been un- der investigation, and have employed attorneys and will be ready to furnish bail when placed under arrest. Not a Felony. The mere fact that wine rooms are maintained in connection with the sa- loons is not a felony, and the bills re- turned against the wine room proprie- tors will be for conducting a disorderly resort. The maximum punishment, on this charge, is a $100 fine or ninety days in jail, or both. On this account the saloonkeepers are not worrying much, as they expect to get off by pay- ing the fine. The county jail question, which has been partially investigated by the grand jury, will probably have the search light turned on it again before the final adjournment of the jury, there being several matters in connection with the expenditures for the new jail which the grand jury desires to have explained. This structure has already cost the county $162,000, and before it is finished the amount will be largely in excess of the contract price. dictments are looked for today.

Donahue, formerly well known in St. Paul and through the Northwest and Edward Farnham, also a St. Paul man, were members of a gang of ticket forgers convicted in Chicago. Of the four defendants three will be sent to the penitentiary, and one, Alexander Freeman, was ac- quitted. Charles "W. Allard, the lead- er of the gang, was the proprietor of a scalper's office for years before en- gaging in the forging conspiracy. Donaghue and Farnham, will serve a few years on an undetermined sen- tence. Donahue was the "barker" for the gang and not concerned directly in the work of the forgers. The conspiracy devised and carried out by the gang was one of the boldest WITNESS COATES SAYS HE CHECKED OFF RELIABLE JURORS FOR KEEFE E. A. Coates, a furniture dealer whose place of business Is on South Wabasha street, was the star witness yesterday in the suit brought by W. L. Keefe against the Second National bank to recover something more than $3,000 paid by the bank out of Keefe's account on notes and check alleged to have been forged by Dwight M. Owens, who- was at one time in the employ of Keefe. The defense is trying to prove that Keefe was aware that Owens was drawing the money from the bank, it being asserted that Keefe was using it for the purpose of bribing jurors and influencing Wit- nesses in personal injury damage suits in which he was interested. LIKES PULLMAN CAR TRIMMINGS John Foley Charged With Stealing Silverware to Adorn His Home. The desire of John Foley, a resident of the West side, who was married three weeks ago, to install his bride in a home furnished after the manner of a Pullman car, may be the means of the young man leaving his bride for a term in the state's prison at Stills water. It is charged that Foley, with the a3-< sistance of his brother, David Foley, and Paul Selvis, entered a Pullman car and carried away $400 worth of silver- ware and bric-a-brac, which was used in furnishing- the home of John Foley. The car Is said to have been damaged to the extent of $1,000. The two Foleys and Selvis were in police court yes- terday, but the case was continued and the facts will be submitted to tha Coates denied that he had ever re- ceived any money from Keefe, as had been testified to by Owens, but admit- ted that he had marked Jury lists for Keefe upon several occasions. In ex- planation of this Coates said he had and most injurious ever perpetrated on the public and the railroads. Thou- sands of tickets, representing hundreds of thousands of dollars, and thousands of miles of transportation have been forged by printing bogus tickets or by altering official tickets. The work of. the gang was carried on in a room above the scalper's office at 162 Clark street, Chicago. Edward Farnham, who possessed a remarkable knowledge of the railroad systems of the country, did the altering. He lived in the room with a woman named Maggie Moran, and together they piled their trade. Tickets originally issued for a few miles, by means of the use of acids and special inks, could be altered so as to read for long distances between widely separated points. The work was conducted quietly for several months till the number tickets that v/ere foisted on the rail- roads attracted attention, and investi- gation revealed the plot of the gang. Detectives set to work and by eves- dropping discovered the operations. One detective hired a room next that occupied by Farnum and the Moran woman, and by boring a hole in the wall near the ceiling was able to ob- serve their operations. A printing shop was also conducted by the 1 gang, but .search failed to reveal its^jy-herfiaboyts. \u25a0"Tn'oiifn lhT"plah"S of the gang weTe" deliberately laid, and though the work was cleverly done, like all criminal conspiracies, exposure came about from their midst. In one case a ticket was issued for a railroad in Missouri which had but two rtilles of road and on which only logs were hauled, and passengers always paid cash fares. When the prosecution was commenced Mafgle Moran turned state's evidence and told all the workings of the gang. lived in the city sixteen years, belong- ed to fourteen lodges and was widely acquainted. "I simply checked off the men on tha lists I knew to be honest and reliable. I never received any money for it, though." Coates further admitted that he was a frequent visitor at Keefe's office, but said he was well acquainted with Keefe and often dropped in to see him. Frank Hall, a clerk in Keefe's office, was also on the witness stand, and testified that Owens had been allow- ed to borrow money from Keefe after 'Owens had been discharged. Hall would not swear positively that he did not have a jury list with him one even- ing when he met Owens by appoint- ment. It was expected the case would go to the jury yesterday, but the entire day was taken up with taking testi- mony, and the arguments will be made today. grand jury today by County Attorney, Kane.

Health Commissioner Ohage

Issues Strenuous Orders

to His Inspectors.

"If there is the least suspicion ofsmallpox, fumigate the premises andvaccinate the inmates. Take no risks,

advise every one you meet to submit tovaccination and see that the pro-prietors of all public places have theirhelp inoculated."

These are Dr. Ohage's latest ordersto the inspectors of the health depart-ment, and they are warned to see thatthey are carried out under pain ofdismissal. Each is endowed with po-lice powers and the same are to beexercised when the health of the cityis involved.

Cognizant of the fact that smallpoxis prevalent throughout the state, Dr.Ohage is making preparations to meetit and says if he can help it the dread-ed disease will not visit St. Paul. Rail-roads, the street car company, allhotels, the restaurants, in fact all em-ployers of help who cater to the publicin any way, are asked to assist in theprevention, and to this end circularsasking that they order the vaxx'hiationof all of their employes have beenmailed to each of them.

Dr. Ohage has prepared for the. cleanup by ordering a large supply of vac-cine, and figures that in the next twoweeks his department alone will vac-cinnate 25,000 persons.

THOMAS A. EDISON SAYSTHAT INVENTION DOES NOT PAY

—ALTHOUGH HE IS RICH.

The statement made by ThomasEdison that invention does not paysounds rather queer coming from aninventor who has grown rich, but thereis much truth in it. Inventors seldomhave the business capacity necessaryto market an invention, and are fre-quently the victims of unscrupulousbut able financiers. Moreover, manyan ingenious contrivance cannot bemade to pay because it lack3the qual-ities necessary to make it valuable,which are, First: That it must be newand useful; Second, one for whichthere is no cheap or convenient sub-stitute; Third, so patented so as toprotect it against infringements;Fourth, it must be something whichgreat numbers of persons need andwill buy. Among recent inventionswhich combine all of these advantagesto a marked degree may be mentionedthe "Doyle Invention" for securingperfect combustion of any kind of fuel.This invention is one of the triumphsof modern science, and one for whichthey have been striving for manyyears. It is entirely new and is care-fully patented in the United States,Canada and Europe. Experimentshave shown that it effects a saving of50 per cent in the use of any kind offuel. No invention can be more use-ful than one like the great Doyle AirBurner, which effects an economy thatis world wide in its scope, and marksa new era in industrial affairs. Asevery householder is the user of moreor less fuel this is an invention whichappeals to, and will be bought by,practically the whole population forthe very good reason that they cannotafford to do without it. It will, in avery short time, save .the amount itcosts to buy it. It promises to be asprofitable as the sewing machine, thecotton gin, the gimlet pointed screw,the telegraph and telephone and othersof the most profitable inventions. It isa satisfaction to know that the inven-tor has not been frozen out, he is astockholder and vice president of theDoyle AirBurner Company of Chicago,Minneapolis and St. Paul, which ismarketing the Doyle invention. Thecompany's local office is 86 East Fifthstreet, where its stoves and furnacesare on exhibition.

Three times the battle was foughta.nd each time in order, one resolutioncalling for the investigation of theGedney lease, another ordering theOmaha to install automatic gates atthe entrance of the public baths, andstill another politely requesting theOmaha to remove the Gedney spurtrack, went down to defeat. Five—Aid. Bantz, Dahlquist, Hlnkens, Roh-land and President Huber —persistent-ly backed the doctor and his plans,while six—Aid. Dobner, Corning,Buschmann, Elder, Holt and Moriarty—as vigorously opposed them.

Aid. Dobner, who led the opposition,contended that the safety of the ap-proach could be better brought aboutand the difficulty solved by the coun-cil itself, and to that end advocatedthe passage of a resolution selectingthree members from each body to visitthe island and view the conditions.Any recommendations they made hewould be willingto stand by.

After Counting Eight Precincts Ex-Mem-ber Sees Speakership Hopes Die.

The recount of tfre -ballots in theSchurman-Yoerg- conteirt, in which C. S.Schuiman contested the election of An-thony Yoerg- as representative, was call-ed off yesterday at the request of Mr.Schurir.an. Eight precincts had been re-counted, showing no change in the re-turns of the canvassing board, which de-clared Yoerg elected by a majority of 64.

Such a resolution was introduced byAid Hinkens, and as the Ohage resolu-tions were introduced they were hand-ed over to this committee instead ofbeing indorsed direct The committeefrom the board consists of Aid. Bantz,Rohland and Dobner. It was selectedby Aid. Huber.

An interested spectator of the pro-ceedings was Pierce Butler, attorneyfor Omaha. The representatives of th£Trades and Labor assembly said littleexcept to indorse Dr. Ohage's plans.

As the matter stands now a jointcommittee will visit the island andfurnish the two bodies their views asto what will make the approach safe.Aid. Dobner is advocating a bridge. Dr.Ohage says a bridge will cost not lessthan $75,000, and he refuses to have thebudget burdened with such an amount.His scheme of a land approach, hesays, is the cheapest and the mostpermanent.

Pugilistic DemonstrationsBecome Rare as Clans-

The merry war of "gangs" and thepersonal jousts of "bravos," represent-ing the contending factions which fora period following the opening of theMcKinley school kept the neighbor-

hood in a ferment and gave a belli -gerent appearance to an otherwisepeaceful community have under thefirm discipline of the school meltedaway. The last offender has subsided;the leaders have called a truce; thevaunts and jeers no longer lead toblows; the bloody noses, scratchedcheeks and torsi garments which at-tested to fearful conflict have givenway to bright and morning faces andcommonplace* toilets. The war is over,reports Miss Lennon, the principal.

There is nothing doing at the Mc-Kinley.

When the school opened there cameclans from the Jackson, from the Mad-ison, from the Maxfield, hostile inspirit and strenuous in showing it. Insuch a variously populated district asthat embraced by the new school therewere certain, social distinctions; cer-tain differentiations of antecedentswhich bred instinctively questions ofprecedence and superiority. In theyouthful idea of justice the g-age ofbattle holds high places as the dis-penser of right.. The strength of Her-cules is -worshiped; the cunning ofUlysses not deipised; but here thecreed ends. So when the warlike clansassembled there was more or less fric-tion. The "line," the "ring" and the"chip" were appealed to In reply totaunts and recriminations, slurs andgibes.

Not a Felony.The mere fact that wine rooms are

maintained in connection with the sa-loons is not a felony, and the bills re-turned against the wine room proprie-tors will be for conducting a disorderly

The desire of John Foley, a residentof the West side, who was marriedthree weeks ago, to install his bride ina home furnished after the manner ofa Pullman car, may be the means ofthe young man leaving his bride for aterm in the state's prison at Stillswater.

The work of.the gang was carried on in a roomabove the scalper's office at 162 Clarkstreet, Chicago. Edward Farnham,who possessed a remarkable knowledgeof the railroad systems of the country,

did the altering. He lived in the roomwith a woman named Maggie Moran,and together they piled their trade.Tickets originally issued for a fewmiles, by means of the use of acids andspecial inks, could be altered so as toread for long distances between widelyseparated points.

The work was conducted quietly forseveral months till the number o£tickets that v/ere foisted on the rail-roads attracted attention, and investi-gation revealed the plot of the gang.Detectives set to work and by eves-dropping discovered the operations.One detective hired a room next thatoccupied by Farnum and the Moranwoman, and by boring a hole in thewall near the ceiling was able to ob-serve their operations.
