'Calamity Jane," the famous western character and the associate of many bor- der celebrities, passed through Minneapo- lis this afternoon on the Northern Pacific train from the west, accompanied by Mrs Josephine Brake of Buffalo. The two went on to St. Paul and will proceed east this evening. "Calamity Jane," the noted plainewo- »an of the northwest, has abandoned the strenuous life of the plains and is already OU her way east to spend the rest of her days near her childhood's home in New York. How the change came about is told in Anaconda, Mont., dispatches as fol- lows: Calamity Jane was found in the hut of a negress at Horr near Livingston, Mont through the efforts of Mrs. Josephine Win- «eld Brake of Buffalo, N. V. ( author and Washington correspondent for a New York Bew.paper, who spent nearly a week in warchlng for the unfortunate woman. When found, Calamity Jane waa suffering with fe- T«r and was broken in spirit. The scene that followed the offer of Mrs Brake to take Calamity Jane to her own fcetne in Buffalo, where she could spend the remainder of her days in comfort, was pa- thetic in the extreme. The noted frontiers- woman wept like a child. The wnman was In the Black Hills at the time of the kllline Of Wild Bill (William Hlckok), and it is •aid that she it was who captured his mur- derw. She rendered valuable services to Custer.

During the past two years she has been 111 much of the time. The newspapers print- ed columns about her. through which the attention of General Egan and many other friends of the woman was called to her plight The result is that Sir*.

INSPECTOR GARDNER QUIZZED He Had a Somewhat Disagreeable Quarter of an Hoar With the Aldermen. Tne ltcen»e. committee of the city coun- cil ran up against an unusual and some- what embarrassing situation yester- day. This is the season of the year when liquor llceneea expire In largest number, and the committee was con- fronted with a big batch of applicants and the accompanying bonds for examination. Included in the list were several of the saloon men who were recently convicted of running slot machines in connection with their saloons, also C. L. Loomis, the \u25a0Washington avenue saloon man, recently convicted of running a gambling-house. Now one of the questions that an ap- plicant for a saloon license is required to answer under oath is whether he has been convicted within a year past of any violation of the liquor ordinances. If such is the cave, he is not eligible for a license and must resort to some sub- terfuge to get a license. The usual method is to take it out in some one else's name, ordinarily the bartender's. Confessed Their Fault*. In this instance the petitioners took advice of Assistant City Attorney Dunn and stated in their applications that they had been convicted as stated above. The committee was considerably embar- rassed to know what to do in the premises. City Attorney Healy ruled that the saloon men's offense was clearly a violation of the liquor ordinances, under a broad interpretation of the law, and that the committee had ample legal right to refuse the license. Alderman Leighton of the committee, was for refusing the licenses on the spot. The others looked at the case in a little more charitable spirit, however, and the list went through. They were influenced some- what by the fact that at the previous meeting of the committee another batch of licenses of the same sort had gone through unquestioned. It was also said in their favor that in most cases it was unquestionably a fact that the saloon men did not really want the slot machines on their premises, but were made to be- lieve they had to accept them. There were about seventy-five all told that were convicted and more than one-half of them have already been granted new licenses. Loomis' application was held up. The city attorney ruled here that even.though the saloon was on the ground floor and the gambling took place on the next floor above, the- saloon was unmistakably com- promised under a fair interpretation of the ordinance. Loomis' application was dated a few days ahead of his conviction, but it was held that this did not change the situation. Gardner Was Shifty. Chicago, July 13.—At Washington Park this afternoon the young handicap, a mile and three-sixteenths, with $5,000 added money, was contested for by the best 3-year-olds and upward in the west. Three American derby winners—Pink Coat, Sidney Lucas and Robert Waddell — were entered, together with eleven others. A high degree of interest was manifested in th outcome of the struggle between these three colts. Lucas and Pink Coat, in their recent races, liad shown vastly improved form, while Robert Waddell, winner of the last derby and three other rich stakes, had shown a slight reversal. In his last race Waddell was defeated by Jiminez, although carrying top weight, and that occasion gave his followers ample grounds for still pinning their faith to the Virginia-bred colt. Roling Boer, with Bullman up, was figured as having a fair chance and considerable money went on him. Milwaukee was chosen as the next meeting place of the convention. State Organizer F. E.

The committee sent out for License In- spector Gardner during the session and questioned him as to what he was doing in the matter of the transferred licenses. Gardner dreads these ordealg with the j committee greatly. Their cross-examina- | tion of him regarding his duties and the | way he performs them give him some ! very uncomfortable moments, and he al- ] ways sidles out of the committee's pres- ence at the first opportunity. On this I occasion he squirmed uncomfortably Un- der the questions of Alderman Leighton. But it was only very meager information the committee could get out of him. When aekcd directly if he did not understand that the law did not recognize any such transactions as transfers cf liquor licenses, he evaded an answer shiftily, contenting himself with the statement that whatever he had done in the line of his duties had been done under the in- structions of the mayor. At the first lull in the fire of questions, Gardner slid out and was not seen again. WADDELL TRIES AGAIN YOCXG HANDICAP AT CHICAGO Some of the Best Three-Year-Olds in the West to Go Round the Circle.

THEIR LAST EXCURSION BOAT BLOWS IP, KILLING TWO Others Injured and the List of Fatal- ities Is Likely to Swell. Sunbury, Pa., July 13.—An excursion boat anchored in the Susquehanna river at the foot of Market street, blew up with terrific force to-day, killing two boys and injuring a dosen other persons, two fatal- ly. One man is missing and many have been killed also. The dead: ALLEN FETZER, aged 14, cut and burned beyond recognition. ARTIE FETZER, aged 12, skull fractured and badly burued.

Frank Keller, aged 8, will die. William Pulen, aged 17. Several others were injured, but not seriously. All of the boys killed and in- jured were fishing on a near-by wharf when the explosion occurred. No cause is given for the accident. Harry Adams, aged 13. THE OVERTRAINED NURSE She In common and. Very Tryin it' to the Average Sick Hun. Philadelphia Record. In an address to a medical society in Chicago a London physician has noted the disposition of the American doctors to avail themselves of improvements which relieve the profession of much of its for- mer drudgery and cares. Here long pre- scriptions are seldom written, since it is practicable to prescribe palatable tablets which offer the best of combinations. By this system the danger of mistakes on the part of the physician and blunders by apothecaries is greatly reduced. Dan- gerous drugs may be given in the form of "Dinurnules," or diurnal tablest, and the doctor need not rack his uncertain memory as to the maximum dose. The full dose of the drug is embraced in twen- ty tablets, one of which may be given every hour, twd every two hours, and so on; and it is onuly necessary not to ex- ceed twelve in one day. The visitor fur- ther noted that while the trained nurse is appreciated in England she is not so gen- erally employed as in this country, where she has relieved the physician of much care and annoyance. It would be idle to challenge the state- ment that the trained nurse is popular in this country. In most if not all Ameri- can cities, the demand for nurses exceeds the supply, and in cases of severe illness, or where there is no orderliness or self- restraint in a household, the trained nurse ie a necessity and a blessing. It is un- deniable, however, that where the patient is a man, and not critically ill, the typi- cal trained young woman is often a source of irritation. Few men can endure the restraint which her presence imposes. She shows every mark of having been cast in a mold and of being entirely artifi- cial. Her fixed and restrained smile in- dicates only a simulated amiability. The precision with which her hair is brushed back under her impossibly neat cap; her noiseless and ghostlike glide; hep busi- nesslike and unfeeling administration of dopes and powders with inhuman regu- larity and without the possibility of a mistake; her practical look of celestial goodness and superhuman wisdom—all these are too unlike what is looked for from the spontaneous and sympathetic woman of the ministering angel kind. To the average man who is not too sick to be impressed by his surroundings this figure of mechanical perfection is more disturbing than would be a tipsy coal- heaver in the sick chamber. So perfect a creature spoils all a mail's pleasure in sickness. He can make no appeal to her sympathy—cannot plead for delay when the nauseous dose is due, or conduct himself like a spoiled child, which is one of the compensations of illness to a man. Perhaps he may be disappointed, too. When a trained nurse is suggested to the inexperienced male he may have visions of a young woman with human qualities whose\feelings will be touched by suffering; whose gentle hand will smooth the pillow and cool the fevered brow, and that sort of sentimental thing. Only observant and experienced wives know how sentimental the most practical of men, even a bank president—may be after business hours. When the male patient finds himself in the hands of a self-contained and unimpressionable young woman, as exact and methodical and unsympathetic as a machine and as dead to his personality as a wooden In- dian, he is disposed to be irritable. How- ever efficient she may be, there are cir- cumstances in which the trained nurse may be as oppressive as was the red- nosed, fat old woman nurse who preceded her. REST AT LAST I have been dropped into all kinds of slots. I have been thrown from the up- per windows of buildings down to the streets below, where boys and men have scrambled for me. I have been held in the lips of lovely women while they have fished in their purses for larger coins with which to pay their street car fare. It has been my fate to be considered of no account except to make change with or to trade for sticks of gum. I have lost all my brightness and am a dingy coin indeed, with no pride in myself, no hope of doing any good in the world and noth- ing whatever to look forward to in life.

GO AHEAD AND PAVE Aldermen Will Not Wait Till Bonds Are Sold. THEY WILL USE FUNDS ON HAND Six Blocks on naithington At N Are to Be Improved—Other "Work Ordered. There is still another hitch in the sal* of the $150,000 issue of permanent im- provement bonds. Stoddard & Nye and the Minnesota Loan and Trust company, the only bidders left in the competition, have informed the ways and means com- mittee that they are still unable to give a definite answer and they have asked for another week's time. They want op- portunity to consult additional counsel re- garding the legality of the issue. The paving committee of the council, wearied of the long and vexatious delay and roused to the necessity of immedi- ate action to bring some order out of the chaos in the paving situation, following the above announcement, voted to pro- ceed at once to apportion the money al- ready in hand and wait no longer on the bond issue.. Here is the program decided upon: Washington avenue N, between Twentieth and Twenty-fourth avenues, with sand- stone, and from Twenty-fourth to Twen- ty-sixth macadam with slate surface; Washington avenue S from Twelfth to Cedar, brick; University avenue SE from Fifth to Seventh avenues; Sixth street N, from HenneDin to Third avenue N, and Third avenue N from Sixth to Seventh streets; Tenth street from Fourth ave- nue S to Park avenue. The bids for paving brick were put over to this evening. OUT SEEING THINGS Future Librarians on a Tour of In- spection. THE "U" SUMMER SCHOOL CLASS Something: About the Methods and the Hard Work of These Hard Workers. The class in library training at the uni- versity summer school visited a bindery Thursday afternoon and had an oppor- tunity to see how books are bound and mended. A visit was also made to Th c Journal newsroom. Last Friday after- noon the class visited the public library in Stillwater. Before the close of the session the different available libraries will be inspected. There are eighteen young women in the class this year, an increase of five over that of last season. Many of them have library positions and are supplementing their experience with further study and investigation. The members of the class are Mis 3 Miner, of the college library, Yankton, S. D.; Miss Stanford, Fargo pub- lic library; Miss Palm, Worthington high school library; Mrs. McPherson, Miss Col- ligan, Stillwater public library; Miss Keene, St. Paul high 3chool lVbrary; Miss Long, Minneapolis high school library; Miss Forbes, Carleton college library; Miss Winter, St. Mary's hall library, Far- ibault, Minn.; Miss Bartleson, Railway Age library, Chicago; Miss Brown, Ait- kin high school library; Misses Merrill, Webb, Smith, Norton, West, Brunswick and Mrs\ Reynolds. Study of Cataloguing. The class is closing its third week's work and has taken up" ordering, acces- sion, bibliagrapay, classification and li- brary economy. T^fo more young women will join the class flext week, when cata- loguing will be studied. The course is under the direction of Mrs. W. J. Southward and Miss Clara P. Baldwin, who had charge last year. Mrs. Southward received her training in the Armour Institute library school and has wide experience as a cataloguer in the John Arerar library' of Chicago, as an organizer of libraries and as an in- structor in library science in the Lewis Institute of Chicago. Miss Baldwin is the librarian of the Minnesota state li- brary commission and was connected with the Minneapolis public library before she accepted here present position. Some of the Work Ahead. Wanderings of a Cent Finally Come to an End. Chicago Tribune. To begin with, I am sometimes called a penny, but I am not. I am an American, and a 1-cent piece. I was 'dug out of the ground originally in the shape of ore. I pass over the tedious trips I made in the holds of lake steamers and in freight cars, and the hot times I had in smelters and other things till I turned up finally at the mint all ready for the last melting. Here I was mixed with some other kind of metal, and was then made into the shape in which I now am. But I was a great "deal brighter. I have had many strange and disagree- able experiences. I have traveled over the whole country without seeing any of it, being in a box or a sack or somebody's pocket. Newsboys with grimy hands have played games with me by shooting me across sidewalks and afterward tossing me up in the air and quarreling over me when I came down. The class meets five -days in the week in the university library building. Lec- tures are given every morning and the afternoons are devoted to practical li- brary work. An exhibition of library sup- plies, bulletins and the charging systems in uae in different libraries will be shown next week. Dr. Hosmer will give a talk on "Dictonarles" and Miss Countryman will speak informally several times. Chil- dren's work will be taken up and lec- tures on children's reading, aids in book selection, the library leagues and clubs and other topics in /elation to children's use of the library ;%ill be given. Par- ticular attention is given to the use of pictures, bulletins and exhibits in librar- ies. Applications for Librarians. The state library commission continues to receive applications from different Bmall towns for free libraries and this week Starbuck, Belle Plaine and Cale- donia have asked for books. There is perhaps less demand for libraries during the summer than in the winter, although the new applications make tie supply scarcely equal to the demand. FOUND 'NEITH A BRIDGE MRS. PERKINS IS BADLY HURT She Appear* to Have Leaped Into Space While Suffering From Insanity. -; ; Mrs. Iva Perkins, whose home is at Oakes, N. D., and who is in Minneapolis undergoing treatment for insanity, is be- lieved to have attempted suicide yes- terday by throwing herself from the Third street N viaduct over the St. Louis tracks. She received several severe bruises and was unconscious when found by L. P. Waugh, a drayman, a little be- fore 10 o'clock. She was taken to the city hospital. She will live, but ap- pears to be violently insane. Mrs. Perkins came to Minneapolis about Tour weeks ago after having spent more than a year under several physicians. She has been living with Mrs. R. Dauguey at 1110 Hennepin avenue. For about two weeks she has appeared almost perfectly sane. Three or four days ago, however, she seemed to grow worse. When she started out this morning at about 8 o'clock she informed Mrs. Dauguey that she was going for her usual morning stroll, but did not know when she would be back. Mrs. Perkins' husband and two child- ren live at Dates, N. D. She is about 26 >ears old. Asked for Bread; Given a Stone the raise. In the course of the commit- tee's cross-examination she made dis- closure that led t.o a still farther increase of her assessment. It will now stand at an even $1,000.

LAYS BABE HIS SOUL Mining King Tuttle Says He Has THE INQUIRY ABOUT FINISHED Manager Tuttle Say* He Think. No- body Can Rightfully Accuse Him of Dishonesty. Receiver A. H. Hall practically finished the work of taking testimony in the Amer- ican Mining Investment company hear- ing yesterday. He will finish the ex- amination of the books and make a state- ment to the court within a short time. The work of reorganization is in progress. Rev. Mr. Gordon arrived this morning from Pennsylvania. He owns a large block of stock. His home is near Dubois, from where the Rev. Mr. Rich hails. C. R. Tuttle to-day said: I have given the receiver all the data at my command and assisted him in every pos- sible way to become acquainted with the ex- act condition of the company and its methods. I uo not think that any one can rightfully accuse me of dishonesty in handling the af- fairs of the company. We are going ahead with the reorganization. Many of the share- holders have asked me to resume the man- agement of thus company's affairs. L. A. Hancock and W. S. Brill were on the stand this morning. Hancock's evidence Included the method of granting and paying dividends. W. S. Brill told of his connection with the company and minor matters regarding the St. Paul office. Statements Do Not Agree. E. B. Benson, a bookkeeper, said that he had advanced $1,000 to start the busi- ness. He was also given a quantity of stock. He said that he had authority from Hancock to sign checks in his ab- sence and that it was possible to draw checks on Hancock's account as trustee while Hancock was away. This was op- posed to a statement made by Tuttle early in the week that the reason he took com- pany receipts and placed them to his credit as trustee was that Hancock, the regular trustee, was absent much of the timeu The receiver drew out of Han- cock the fact that there was no real neces- sity for Tuttle's practice of mixing com- pany money with his own in one account as "trustee." Following Benson, Tuttle made the ' statement , that of all company moneys he had received he had paid out the full amount and $10,000 more, which would pay for all the stock charged to him. He said that lie had never misrepresented the source of a dividend. When the divi- dends were paid on Kettle Curlew stock, there had been money in the real estate! fund to do it. Although receipts of this It-nd ultimately proved to be smaller than the disbursements, that had no bearing as there was a balance on hand when the dividends were paid. He said that no di- vidend had been declared on Susquehanna. the mine that yielded all of $55 in gold. !In lieu of a dividend the shareholders were given one-half cent cash for their holdings, or shares in other companies. Of this amount $200 was paid in cash and the rest in shares. He paid this i himself as an extra . precaution, and would not allow the company to disburse it. .-:-" • -• • \u25a0 - '• Tuttle stated that he had never made any individual guarantees in selling stock. The American company had guar- anteed 10 per cent on the investment for the first two years. Quick Turn Saved the Day. Receiver Hall asked for information on guarantees which Tuttle called "syndi- cate contracts." Tuttle said that when he returned from Cleveland on one occasion he found that the man whom he had left in charge of the business had attempted to wreck it. The concern was in debt $3,600 and had no money. He tried to make a loan but failed. He then made an offer by which a purchaser could secure 100,000 shares at one cent each, $100 down. The company guaranteed to sell the shares at a profit. This cost the concern about ?5,000 but it saved it from going to the wall. He said that the investigation of the af- fairs of the concern at the time that the Lyceum Theater was hired for three days •or the meeting of the stock holders was no sham. The hearing has developed the fact that Tuttle has been the "whole thing" in the concern. He has been ready with his ex- planation at all times. He has a good memory. Whenever Hancock, Benson, or any of the other officers of the concern, were in doubt Tuttle would push the clouds away with his explanation shovel. When Benson made his statement in regard to there being no necessity for the "C. R. Tuttle, trustee," bank account this morning, Tuttle cut in with a correc- tion and after an explanation on his part, and a correction by Benson the matter was straightened out to suit him. ECONOMY THE WORD The County Commissioners to Take an Important Step. ';,- ,"v,\u25a0.;"• -\u25a0 \u25a0•- \u25a0\u25a0'"- . \u25a0 \u25a0"- "•\u25a0\u25a0-, A NEW • PLAN FOR ESTIMATES . j The Board Will Submit Figaros" to Board of Tax Levy That Can't Be Cut. An important step toward a more eco- nomical administration of county affairs will be taken to-morrow when the county commissioners meet informally to prepare the customary estimates of expenses of the county government during the next fiscal year, beginning Jan. 1, 1902. Heretofore it ha 3been the practice to receive estimates from the various county officials of the amounts desired in each of the departments and upon these esti- mates the board has based its requests to the board of tax levy. The natural result of such a system was a budget considerably larger than there was any excuse for. Each official knowing that his colleagues could be de- pended upon to ask for more than was actually needed, would turn in an esti- mate which would leave a wide margin in his favor, and he would consider him- self in luck if the amount finally allowed him should by any chance happen to be larger than he needed. Under such a system the pressure upon the county com- missioners was go heavy and confusing that frequently it was impossible to reach a correct conclusion. This is all to be done away with. The board intends to ascertain the exact amount expended in each department dur- ing the first six months of this year and then to examine the figures for the last fiscal year. Having done this and having taken acocunt of all extraordinary expen- ditures to be met and having allowed a sufficient margin for contingencies, the amount to be asked for will be determined at the regular meeting of the board on Monday. This will be submitted to the board of tax levy which meets the second Monday in September for the purpose of going over the estimates of the various boards and departments of county and mu- nicipal affairs. Under the plan proposed for the year the county board does not expect a. large cut, if anyat all, in its es- timates. BULLS' TDM COMES They Yelled Like Comanches as Wheat Went Up Tc-day. HOT WEATHER REPORTS DID IT The Corn Crop Reported a» Dam- aged and Wheat Bulge* Five Cent* Fruin Sympathy. DROWNED WHILE AT PLAY. Special to The Journal. Hastings, Minn., July 13.—A 7-year-old son of Mrs. Joseph Schmeich was drowned in the river here last evening while playing. Walton Park. Information bureau, 25 Sixth street S. Call any time, day or evening; open till l'J p. m. Bulls and bears came together yester- day in a tussle more exciting than has been seen in the local wheat pit for tome time. Up to noon the<f*>ears were badly whipped, wheat was nearly 4 cents higher than Wednesday, and the trium- phant yells of the bull crowd could be heard a block away from the Chamber of Commerce building. It is the first time in months that there has been anything like a bull turn in wheat. Ever since the crops began to appear above ground, there has been pressure on the wheat market from the fact that conditions everywhere were very favorable and that a large wheat yield was more than a probabllilty. The Bear's Long Inning. Some months ago wheat took a down- ward course and has held it since. Fear of drought at one time, over the north- west worked it back a bit, and at times other factors came in to bring reaction, but in every case they were swept away and the market continued its downward course. Traders had grown so used to seeing a slump from day to day that they rather looked for it, and declines seemed the natural order. On Tuesday last September wheat sold to 60% c, the lowest point touched on the decline and the lowest price for some years. September sold at 11 o'clock to- day kt 65%c. The upturn that has car- ried it back over 5 cents since that time is mostly due to the extremely hot weather ruling in the southwest that is knocking out the corn crop in places. This has lessened the possibilities of the corn yield and wheat, as is not unusual, shows a sympathetic strength. There are other things calculated to strengthen the mar- ket, but the southwestern outlook is per- haps the principal item. With tempera- tures of 102 to 104 at points from St. Louis to Kansas City, and no rain, it is bad for corn. Estimates of damage vary -widely, as they always do, but there is no doubt that there has been pretty serious damage. Meanwhile, many who saw no check to the declining tendency in wheat and who have been selling "short," have seen the mar- ket harden and have bought in their wheat for protection, thus helping along the advance. A rain over the southwest at this time might knock the prop from under the corn market, and wheat might go down again in consequence. And again it might not. Weather conditions will probably continue as the leading influ- ence, however, for the present. EXPENSES NOT GREAT UNDER THE TORRENS SYSTEM Register of Deeds Merrill Investi- gates Conditions Under the Law in Illinois. Under the Torrens system of land title registration the expense of registration will be very small, considering the vast benefits conferred. It has been erron- eously stated that the new law which will take effect in this county Sept. 1, would prove expensive, especially in cases in- volving small properties. An examination of the law itself shows that a parcel j of land worth $1,000 can be registered at j a cost approximating only $20, to be paid j out as follows: To the clerk of the dis- i trict court upon making application, $3; to the register of titles, on filing certi- fied copy of application, $10, for the first $1,000 and $2.50 for each additional $1,000 valuation; . for certificate of title and registration of same, $2; for publication of notice, (about) $3. Many understood the cost in such cases would be from $50 to $75. \u25a0\u25a0 ."- \u25a0 \u25a0\u0084\u25a0-;'•\u25a0•\u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0'\u25a0".'.\u25a0-. .\u25a0 ; - .'.. . ,\u25a0;\u25a0,\u25a0 j Register of Deeds Merrill has just re- turned from a visit to Chicago, where a similar law has been in operation for some time. Mr. Merrill made a special study of the operation of the law there. He was surprised to learn that up to date in Chicago there have been but about 400 titles brought under the sys- tem, but an examination revealed to him the reason. The Torrens system practically destroys the business of the abstract and title insurance companies. In Chicago these corporations managed to enlist in their supoprt the great majority of the attorneys of the city, and until recently the law has not been in the best of repute. Last winter, however, it was discovered that the title insurance companies had failed to comply with the Insurance laws of the state, and when they came to ask cura- tive legislation they found it wae necessary to make concessions. A compromise was effected witfi the Torrens committee of the Chicago Real Estate Board, the title insur- ance companies agreeing to cease their fight, and in return the Torrens people agreeing to permit the passage of legislation legalizing the acts of the title insurance companies. The result was soon noticed in increased applica- tions to place property under the Torrens law. The Minnesota. law, which applies only to Hennepin, Ramsey "and. St. Louis coun- ties, gives to the purchaser an absolute and. guaranteed title, and, a sinking fund is provided out of which persons suffering damage by the operation of the act may be recompensed. . After once being placed under the provisions of the law, a trans- fer of the title may be issued at an ex- ; pense of only $3 for the certificate. ROONEY WILL~DJE Shot In a.

Outram, section director, has sum- marized the weather conditions for June in Minnesota, as follows: The prevailing direction of the wind was from the southeast. The maximum velocity as recorded by weather bureau instruments was 06 miles per hour from the west at St. Paul on the 28th. The greatest monthly move- ment of the wind was 8,009 miles, at Minne- apolis. There wae precipitation on an aver- age of 12 d»ys; there were 9 clear days, 13 partly cloudy and S cloudy. The average temperature of 6-J stations was 65.5 degrees, or about the normal. The high- est monthly mean was 70.7 degrees at Red Wing. The highest temperature recorded during the month was-99 degrees at Red Wing on the 26th. The lowest monthly mean was 35.1 at Two Harbors. The lowest tempera- ture was 2U degrees on the Bth, at Pokegama Falls. The greatest daily range of tempera- ture was 48 degrees on the 2d at Willow River. The average precipitation of 67 stations was 5.81 inches, or about 1.68 above the average for the state. The greatest monthly precipi- tation was 10.37 inches, at Leech Lake Dam. The greatest twenty-four hour precipitation was 5.34 inches, at Faribault on the 30th. One of the noticeable items in the monthly report which will be issued to- day is the long list of thunder Btorms in the state. The morning report conrains the follow- ing commentary on Minnesota weather for yesterday: Dry weather has continued over the Minne- apolis district, except light local ehowers at Park Rapids and Worthlngton, Minn., and Redfleld, S. D.,; the temperature has re- mained warm in the southern portion of the district and has generally risen slightly else- where. The temperatures have fallon decid- edly in the Chicago district and continue high elsewhere. The maximum temperature to-day is 90; the minimum, 68. CLEAN ALLEYS, ORDERED HEALTH OFFICER'S NEW RULE It Meant the Enforcement of Ordi- nance Heretofore Almost Forgotten. There is a city ordinance concerning health and sanitation that says that no owner of, agent for, or occupant of any house, hotel, etc., shall throw garbage or other objectionable matter Into a street or alley. Still another says that all ref- use, including barn manure, shall be kept in a water-tight box on the owner's prem- ises. Both ordinances have been more or less ignored for years. But the health commissioner announces a new departure. He will have his men make everybody clean up and thereafter enforce the ordinance to the letter. There will be no more festering piles of filth in the city alleys, he declares. All ac- cumulations will be found in tight boxes on the owner's premises and the alleys will be kept for the uses for which they were intended. TROLLEY TO WHITE BEAR AX EXTENSION NOW ASSIRED It Will Leave the Present Stlllwate* Line at Wlldwood, Going; by Mahtomedi. When Thomas Lowry and General Man- ager Held, of the Twin City Rapid Transit company, undertook to walk around White Bear lake yesterday, they were not exercising. A serious business propo- sition was uppermost in their minds— that of extending the White Bear-Stlll- water electric line from Mahtomedi, on White Bear lake, to White Bear village, a distance of five miles. Investigation thoroughly convinced them of the feasibility of the undertaking and the extension will be made next year. A track already connects Wlldwood Park with Mahtomedi and it can be put into shape at a comparatively small out- lay. Beyond Mahtomedi and all the way to White Bear village the shore of the lake is well built up with cottages. Resi- dents in that part of St. Paul's big sum- mer resort have had to walk, drive or paddle considerable distances for years to make connections with street cars. From Mahtomedi to White Bear village the Northern Pacific road bed may be used paralleling the railroad tracks on the side toward the lake. The completion of the ex- tension will bo a big step toward girdling White Bear lake with the trolley. Can't Have a New Trial for Vlolat- A new trial has been denied in the case of-J. C. Sodlni, convicted of violating the Sunday closing law. The grouni taken by Sodini's counsel was that tin evidence failed to show that he had been licensed to sell liquor, or that he had sold any liquor at 208 Washington aveniu S, the place named in the indictment.

LOOMIS MUST WAITHis Application for a Saloon License

Is Held Up.

INSPECTOR GARDNER QUIZZED

He Had a Somewhat Disagreeable

Quarter of an Hoar Withthe Aldermen.

Tne ltcen»e. committee of the city coun-cil ran up against an unusual and some-what embarrassing situation yester-day. This is the season of the yearwhen liquor llceneea expire In largestnumber, and the committee was con-fronted with a big batch of applicants andthe accompanying bonds for examination.Included in the list were several of thesaloon men who were recently convictedof running slot machines in connectionwith their saloons, also C. L. Loomis, the\u25a0Washington avenue saloon man, recently

convicted of running a gambling-house.Now one of the questions that an ap-

plicant for a saloon license is required toanswer under oath is whether he hasbeen convicted within a year past ofany violation of the liquor ordinances.If such is the cave, he is not eligible fora license and must resort to some sub-terfuge to get a license. The usualmethod is to take it out in some oneelse's name, ordinarily the bartender's.

Confessed Their Fault*.

In this instance the petitioners tookadvice of Assistant City Attorney Dunnand stated in their applications that theyhad been convicted as stated above.

The committee was considerably embar-rassed to know what to do in thepremises. City Attorney Healy ruledthat the saloon men's offense was clearlya violation of the liquor ordinances, undera broad interpretation of the law, andthat the committee had ample legal rightto refuse the license. Alderman Leightonof the committee, was for refusing thelicenses on the spot. The others lookedat the case in a little more charitablespirit, however, and the list wentthrough. They were influenced some-what by the fact that at the previousmeeting of the committee another batchof licenses of the same sort had gonethrough unquestioned. It was also saidin their favor that in most cases it wasunquestionably a fact that the saloon mendid not really want the slot machineson their premises, but were made to be-lieve they had to accept them. Therewere about seventy-five all told thatwere convicted and more than one-halfof them have already been granted newlicenses.

Loomis' application was held up. Thecity attorney ruled here that even.thoughthe saloon was on the ground floor andthe gambling took place on the next floorabove, the- saloon was unmistakably com-promised under a fair interpretation ofthe ordinance. Loomis' application wasdated a few days ahead of his conviction,but it was held that this did not changethe situation.

Gardner Was Shifty.

Chicago, July 13.—At Washington Parkthis afternoon the young handicap, a mileand three-sixteenths, with $5,000 addedmoney, was contested for by the best3-year-olds and upward in the west.Three American derby winners—PinkCoat, Sidney Lucas and Robert Waddell —were entered, together with eleven others.A high degree of interest was manifestedin th outcome of the struggle betweenthese three colts. Lucas and Pink Coat,in their recent races, liad shown vastlyimproved form, while Robert Waddell,winner of the last derby and three otherrich stakes, had shown a slight reversal.In his last race Waddell was defeated byJiminez, although carrying top weight,and that occasion gave his followers amplegrounds for still pinning their faith tothe Virginia-bred colt. Roling Boer, withBullman up, was figured as having a fairchance and considerable money went onhim.

Milwaukee was chosen as the nextmeeting place of the convention. StateOrganizer F. E. Webber and SecretaryTreasurer Brockhausen of Milwaukee wereunanimously re-elected.

The committee sent out for License In-spector Gardner during the session andquestioned him as to what he was doingin the matter of the transferred licenses.Gardner dreads these ordealg with the jcommittee greatly. Their cross-examina- |tion of him regarding his duties and the |way he performs them give him some !very uncomfortable moments, and he al- ]ways sidles out of the committee's pres-ence at the first opportunity. On this Ioccasion he squirmed uncomfortably Un-der the questions of Alderman Leighton.But it was only very meager informationthe committee could get out of him. Whenaekcd directly if he did not understandthat the law did not recognize any suchtransactions as transfers cf liquorlicenses, he evaded an answer shiftily,contenting himself with the statementthat whatever he had done in the line ofhis duties had been done under the in-structions of the mayor. At the first lullin the fire of questions, Gardner slid outand was not seen again.

THE OVERTRAINED NURSEShe In common and. Very Tryin it' to

the Average Sick Hun.

Philadelphia Record.In an address to a medical society in

Chicago a London physician has noted thedisposition of the American doctors toavail themselves of improvements whichrelieve the profession of much of its for-mer drudgery and cares. Here long pre-scriptions are seldom written, since it ispracticable to prescribe palatable tabletswhich offer the best of combinations. Bythis system the danger of mistakes on thepart of the physician and blunders byapothecaries is greatly reduced. Dan-gerous drugs may be given in the formof "Dinurnules," or diurnal tablest, andthe doctor need not rack his uncertainmemory as to the maximum dose. Thefull dose of the drug is embraced in twen-ty tablets, one of which may be givenevery hour, twd every two hours, and soon; and it is onuly necessary not to ex-ceed twelve in one day. The visitor fur-ther noted that while the trained nurse isappreciated in England she is not so gen-erally employed as in this country, whereshe has relieved the physician of muchcare and annoyance.

It would be idle to challenge the state-ment that the trained nurse is popular inthis country. In most if not all Ameri-can cities, the demand for nurses exceedsthe supply, and in cases of severe illness,or where there is no orderliness or self-restraint in a household, the trained nurseie a necessity and a blessing. It is un-deniable, however, that where the patientis a man, and not critically ill, the typi-cal trained young woman is often a sourceof irritation. Few men can endure therestraint which her presence imposes.She shows every mark of having beencast in a mold and of being entirely artifi-cial. Her fixed and restrained smile in-dicates only a simulated amiability. Theprecision with which her hair is brushedback under her impossibly neat cap; hernoiseless and ghostlike glide; hep busi-nesslike and unfeeling administration ofdopes and powders with inhuman regu-larity and without the possibility of amistake; her practical look of celestialgoodness and superhuman wisdom—allthese are too unlike what is looked forfrom the spontaneous and sympatheticwoman of the ministering angel kind. Tothe average man who is not too sick tobe impressed by his surroundings thisfigure of mechanical perfection is moredisturbing than would be a tipsy coal-heaver in the sick chamber.

So perfect a creature spoils all a mail'spleasure in sickness. He can make noappeal to her sympathy—cannot plead fordelay when the nauseous dose is due, orconduct himself like a spoiled child, whichis one of the compensations of illness toa man. Perhaps he may be disappointed,too. When a trained nurse is suggestedto the inexperienced male he may havevisions of a young woman with humanqualities whose\feelings will be touchedby suffering; whose gentle hand willsmooth the pillow and cool the feveredbrow, and that sort of sentimental thing.Only observant and experienced wivesknow how sentimental the most practicalof men, even a bank president—may beafter business hours. When the malepatient finds himself in the hands of aself-contained and unimpressionableyoung woman, as exact and methodicaland unsympathetic as a machine and asdead to his personality as a wooden In-dian, he is disposed to be irritable. How-ever efficient she may be, there are cir-cumstances in which the trained nursemay be as oppressive as was the red-nosed, fat old woman nurse who precededher.

REST AT LAST

I have been dropped into all kinds ofslots. I have been thrown from the up-per windows of buildings down to thestreets below, where boys and men havescrambled for me.I have been held in the lips of lovely

women while they have fished in theirpurses for larger coins with which to paytheir street car fare.

It has been my fate to be considered ofno account except to make change withor to trade for sticks of gum. I have lostall my brightness and am a dingy coinindeed, with no pride in myself, no hopeof doing any good in the world and noth-ing whatever to look forward to in life.

But my wanderings are over. I fellInto the hands of Uncle Russell Sage theother day.

THE "U" SUMMER SCHOOL CLASS

Something: About the Methods andthe Hard Work of These Hard

Workers.The class in library training at the uni-versity summer school visited a bindery

Thursday afternoon and had an oppor-tunity to see how books are bound andmended. A visit was also made to Th cJournal newsroom. Last Friday after-noon the class visited the public libraryin Stillwater. Before the close of thesession the different available librarieswill be inspected.

There are eighteen young women in theclass this year, an increase of five overthat of last season. Many of them havelibrary positions and are supplementingtheir experience with further study andinvestigation. The members of the classare Mis 3 Miner, of the college library,Yankton, S. D.; Miss Stanford, Fargo pub-lic library; Miss Palm, Worthington highschool library; Mrs. McPherson, Miss Col-ligan, Stillwater public library; MissKeene, St. Paul high 3chool lVbrary; MissLong, Minneapolis high school library;Miss Forbes, Carleton college library;Miss Winter, St. Mary's hall library, Far-ibault, Minn.; Miss Bartleson, RailwayAge library, Chicago; Miss Brown, Ait-kin high school library; Misses Merrill,Webb, Smith, Norton, West, Brunswickand Mrs\ Reynolds.

Study of Cataloguing.

The class is closing its third week'swork and has taken up" ordering, acces-sion, bibliagrapay, classification and li-brary economy. T^fo more young womenwill join the class flext week, when cata-loguing will be studied.

The course is under the direction ofMrs. W. J. Southward and Miss ClaraP. Baldwin, who had charge last year.Mrs. Southward received her training inthe Armour Institute library school andhas wide experience as a cataloguer inthe John Arerar library' of Chicago, asan organizer of libraries and as an in-structor in library science in the LewisInstitute of Chicago. Miss Baldwin isthe librarian of the Minnesota state li-brary commission and was connected withthe Minneapolis public library before sheaccepted here present position.

Some of the Work Ahead.

Wanderings of a Cent Finally Cometo an End.

Chicago Tribune.To begin with, I am sometimes called a

penny, but I am not. I am an American,and a 1-cent piece.

I was 'dug out of the ground originallyin the shape of ore.

I pass over the tedious trips I made inthe holds of lake steamers and in freightcars, and the hot times I had in smeltersand other things till I turned up finallyat the mint all ready for the last melting.

Here I was mixed with some other kindof metal, and was then made into theshape in which I now am.

But I was a great "deal brighter.I have had many strange and disagree-

able experiences.I have traveled over the whole country

without seeing any of it, being in a boxor a sack or somebody's pocket.

Newsboys with grimy hands have playedgames with me by shooting me acrosssidewalks and afterward tossing me upin the air and quarreling over me when Icame down.

The class meets five -days in the weekin the university library building. Lec-tures are given every morning and theafternoons are devoted to practical li-brary work. An exhibition of library sup-plies, bulletins and the charging systemsin uae in different libraries will be shownnext week. Dr. Hosmer will give a talkon "Dictonarles" and Miss Countryman

will speak informally several times. Chil-dren's work will be taken up and lec-tures on children's reading, aids in bookselection, the library leagues and clubsand other topics in /elation to children'suse of the library ;%ill be given. Par-ticular attention is given to the use ofpictures, bulletins and exhibits in librar-ies.

Applications for Librarians.

The state library commission continuesto receive applications from differentBmall towns for free libraries and thisweek Starbuck, Belle Plaine and Cale-donia have asked for books. There isperhaps less demand for libraries during

the summer than in the winter, althoughthe new applications make tie supplyscarcely equal to the demand.

LAYS BABE HIS SOULMining King Tuttle Says He Has

THE INQUIRY ABOUT FINISHED

Manager Tuttle Say* He Think. No-body Can Rightfully Accuse

Him of Dishonesty.

Receiver A. H. Hall practically finishedthe work of taking testimony in the Amer-ican Mining Investment company hear-ing yesterday. He will finish the ex-amination of the books and make a state-ment to the court within a short time.

The work of reorganization is inprogress. Rev. Mr. Gordon arrived thismorning from Pennsylvania. He ownsa large block of stock. His home is nearDubois, from where the Rev. Mr. Richhails.

C. R. Tuttle to-day said:I have given the receiver all the data at

my command and assisted him in every pos-sible way to become acquainted with the ex-act condition of the company and its methods.I uo not think that any one can rightfullyaccuse me of dishonesty in handling the af-fairs of the company. We are going aheadwith the reorganization. Many of the share-holders have asked me to resume the man-agement of thus company's affairs.

L. A. Hancock and W. S. Brill wereon the stand this morning. Hancock'sevidence Included the method of grantingand paying dividends. W. S. Brill toldof his connection with the company andminor matters regarding the St. Pauloffice.

Statements Do Not Agree.

E. B. Benson, a bookkeeper, said thathe had advanced $1,000 to start the busi-ness. He was also given a quantity ofstock. He said that he had authorityfrom Hancock to sign checks in his ab-sence and that it was possible to drawchecks on Hancock's account as trusteewhile Hancock was away. This was op-posed to a statement made by Tuttle earlyin the week that the reason he took com-pany receipts and placed them to hiscredit as trustee was that Hancock, theregular trustee, was absent much of thetimeu The receiver drew out of Han-cock the fact that there was no real neces-sity for Tuttle's practice of mixing com-pany money with his own in one accountas "trustee."

Following Benson, Tuttle made the' statement , that of all company moneyshe had received he had paid out thefull amount and $10,000 more, which wouldpay for all the stock charged to him. Hesaid that lie had never misrepresented thesource of a dividend. When the divi-dends were paid on Kettle Curlew stock,there had been money in the real estate!fund to do it. Although receipts of thisIt-nd ultimately proved to be smaller thanthe disbursements, that had no bearingas there was a balance on hand when thedividends were paid. He said that no di-vidend had been declared on Susquehanna.the mine that yielded all of $55 in gold.!In lieu of a dividend the shareholderswere given one-half cent cash for theirholdings, or shares in other companies.Of this amount $200 was paid in cashand the rest in shares. He paid this

i himself as an extra . precaution, andwould not allow the company to disburseit. .-:-" • -• • \u25a0 - '•Tuttle stated that he had never madeany individual guarantees in sellingstock. The American company had guar-anteed 10 per cent on the investment forthe first two years.

Quick Turn Saved the Day.

Receiver Hall asked for information onguarantees which Tuttle called "syndi-cate contracts." Tuttle said that when hereturned from Cleveland on one occasionhe found that the man whom he had leftin charge of the business had attemptedto wreck it. The concern was in debt$3,600 and had no money. He tried tomake a loan but failed. He then made anoffer by which a purchaser could secure100,000 shares at one cent each, $100 down.The company guaranteed to sell the sharesat a profit. This cost the concern about?5,000 but it saved it from going to thewall.

He said that the investigation of the af-fairs of the concern at the time that theLyceum Theater was hired for three days•or the meeting of the stock holders wasno sham.

The hearing has developed the fact thatTuttle has been the "whole thing" in theconcern. He has been ready with his ex-planation at all times. He has a goodmemory. Whenever Hancock, Benson, orany of the other officers of the concern,were in doubt Tuttle would push theclouds away with his explanationshovel. When Benson made his statementin regard to there being no necessity forthe "C. R. Tuttle, trustee," bank accountthis morning, Tuttle cut in with a correc-tion and after an explanation on his part,and a correction by Benson the matterwas straightened out to suit him.

A NEW • PLAN FOR ESTIMATES

. j

The Board Will Submit Figaros" toBoard of Tax Levy That Can't

Be Cut.

An important step toward a more eco-nomical administration of county affairswill be taken to-morrow when the countycommissioners meet informally to preparethe customary estimates of expenses ofthe county government during the nextfiscal year, beginning Jan. 1, 1902.

Heretofore it ha 3been the practice toreceive estimates from the various countyofficials of the amounts desired in eachof the departments and upon these esti-mates the board has based its requeststo the board of tax levy.

The natural result of such a systemwas a budget considerably larger thanthere was any excuse for. Each officialknowing that his colleagues could be de-pended upon to ask for more than wasactually needed, would turn in an esti-mate which would leave a wide marginin his favor, and he would consider him-self in luck if the amount finally allowedhim should by any chance happen to belarger than he needed. Under such asystem the pressure upon the county com-missioners was go heavy and confusingthat frequently it was impossible to reacha correct conclusion.

This is all to be done away with. Theboard intends to ascertain the exactamount expended in each department dur-ing the first six months of this year andthen to examine the figures for the lastfiscal year. Having done this and havingtaken acocunt of all extraordinary expen-ditures to be met and having allowed asufficient margin for contingencies, theamount to be asked for will be determinedat the regular meeting of the board onMonday. This will be submitted to theboard of tax levy which meets the secondMonday in September for the purpose ofgoing over the estimates of the variousboards and departments of county and mu-nicipal affairs. Under the plan proposedfor the year the county board does notexpect a. large cut, if anyat all, in its es-timates.

Hastings, Minn., July 13.—A 7-year-old sonof Mrs. Joseph Schmeich was drowned in theriver here last evening while playing.

Walton Park.Information bureau, 25 Sixth street S.

Call any time, day or evening; open tilll'J p. m.

Bulls and bears came together yester-day in a tussle more exciting thanhas been seen in the local wheat pit fortome time. Up to noon the<f*>ears werebadly whipped, wheat was nearly 4 centshigher than Wednesday, and the trium-phant yells of the bull crowd could beheard a block away from the Chamber ofCommerce building. It is the first timein months that there has been anythinglike a bull turn in wheat. Ever since thecrops began to appear above ground, therehas been pressure on the wheat marketfrom the fact that conditions everywherewere very favorable and that a largewheat yield was more than a probabllilty.

The Bear's Long Inning.

Some months ago wheat took a down-ward course and has held it since. Fearof drought at one time, over the north-west worked it back a bit, and at timesother factors came in to bring reaction,but in every case they were swept awayand the market continued its downwardcourse.

Traders had grown so used to seeing aslump from day to day that they ratherlooked for it, and declines seemed thenatural order.

On Tuesday last September wheat soldto 60%c, the lowest point touched on thedecline and the lowest price for someyears. September sold at 11 o'clock to-day kt 65%c. The upturn that has car-ried it back over 5 cents since that time ismostly due to the extremely hot weatherruling in the southwest that is knockingout the corn crop in places. This haslessened the possibilities of the corn yieldand wheat, as is not unusual, shows asympathetic strength. There are otherthings calculated to strengthen the mar-ket, but the southwestern outlook is per-haps the principal item. With tempera-tures of 102 to 104 at points from St.Louis to Kansas City, and no rain, it isbad for corn.

Estimates of damage vary -widely, asthey always do, but there is no doubt thatthere has been pretty serious damage.Meanwhile, many who saw no check to thedeclining tendency in wheat and who havebeen selling "short," have seen the mar-ket harden and have bought in theirwheat for protection, thus helping alongthe advance. A rain over the southwestat this time might knock the prop fromunder the corn market, and wheat mightgo down again in consequence. And againit might not. Weather conditions willprobably continue as the leading influ-ence, however, for the present.

EXPENSES NOT GREATUNDER THE TORRENS SYSTEM

Register of Deeds Merrill Investi-gates Conditions Under the

Law in Illinois.Under the Torrens system of land titleregistration the expense of registration

will be very small, considering the vastbenefits conferred. It has been erron-eously stated that the new law which willtake effect in this county Sept. 1, wouldprove expensive, especially in cases in-volving small properties. An examinationof the law itself shows that a parcel

j of land worth $1,000 can be registered atj a cost approximating only $20, to be paidj out as follows: To the clerk of the dis-

i trict court upon making application, $3;to the register of titles, on filing certi-fied copy of application, $10, for the first$1,000 and $2.50 for each additional $1,000valuation; . for certificate of title andregistration of same, $2; for publication ofnotice, (about) $3. Many understood thecost in such cases would be from $50 to$75. \u25a0\u25a0 ."- \u25a0 \u25a0\u0084\u25a0-;'•\u25a0•\u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0'\u25a0".'.\u25a0-. .\u25a0 ; - .'.. . ,\u25a0;\u25a0,\u25a0 j

Register of Deeds Merrill has just re-turned from a visit to Chicago, where asimilar law has been in operation forsome time. Mr. Merrill made a specialstudy of the operation of the law there.He was surprised to learn that up todate in Chicago there have been butabout 400 titles brought under the sys-tem, but an examination revealed to himthe reason.

The Torrens system practically destroys thebusiness of the abstract and title insurancecompanies. In Chicago these corporationsmanaged to enlist in their supoprt the greatmajority of the attorneys of the city, anduntil recently the law has not been in thebest of repute. Last winter, however, it wasdiscovered that the title insurance companieshad failed to comply with the Insurance lawsof the state, and when they came to ask cura-tive legislation they found it wae necessaryto make concessions. A compromise waseffected witfi the Torrens committee of theChicago Real Estate Board, the title insur-ance companies agreeing to cease their fight,and in return the Torrens people agreeing topermit the passage of legislation legalizingthe acts of the title insurance companies. Theresult was soon noticed in increased applica-tions to place property under the Torrenslaw.

The Minnesota. law, which applies onlyto Hennepin, Ramsey "and. St. Louis coun-ties, gives to the purchaser an absoluteand. guaranteed title, and, a sinking fundis provided out of which persons sufferingdamage by the operation of the act maybe recompensed. . After once being placedunder the provisions of the law, a trans-fer of the title may be issued at an ex- ;pense of only $3 for the certificate.

The maximum temperature to-day is 90;the minimum, 68.

CLEAN ALLEYS, ORDEREDHEALTH OFFICER'S NEW RULE

It Meant the Enforcement of Ordi-nance Heretofore Almost

Forgotten.

There is a city ordinance concerninghealth and sanitation that says that noowner of, agent for, or occupant of anyhouse, hotel, etc., shall throw garbage orother objectionable matter Into a streetor alley. Still another says that all ref-use, including barn manure, shall be keptin a water-tight box on the owner's prem-ises. Both ordinances have been moreor less ignored for years.

But the health commissioner announcesa new departure. He will have his menmake everybody clean up and thereafterenforce the ordinance to the letter. Therewill be no more festering piles of filthin the city alleys, he declares. All ac-cumulations will be found in tight boxeson the owner's premises and the alleyswill be kept for the uses for which theywere intended.

TROLLEY TO WHITE BEARAX EXTENSION NOW ASSIRED

It Will Leave the Present Stlllwate*Line at Wlldwood, Going;

by Mahtomedi.

When Thomas Lowry and General Man-ager Held, of the Twin City Rapid Transitcompany, undertook to walk aroundWhite Bear lake yesterday, they were notexercising. A serious business propo-sition was uppermost in their minds—that of extending the White Bear-Stlll-water electric line from Mahtomedi, onWhite Bear lake, to White Bear village,a distance of five miles.

Investigation thoroughly convinced themof the feasibility of the undertaking andthe extension will be made next year.

A track already connects WlldwoodPark with Mahtomedi and it can be putinto shape at a comparatively small out-lay. Beyond Mahtomedi and all the wayto White Bear village the shore of thelake is well built up with cottages. Resi-dents in that part of St. Paul's big sum-mer resort have had to walk, drive orpaddle considerable distances for years tomake connections with street cars.

From Mahtomedi to White Bear villagethe Northern Pacific road bed may be usedparalleling the railroad tracks on the sidetoward the lake. The completion of the ex-tension will bo a big step toward girdlingWhite Bear lake with the trolley.
