Gentry Brothers' First Display Witnessed by Large Crowds.
When the gl ittering chariots containing lth<3 Gentry Brothers' hundreds of actor 'dogs came rolling down Nicollet avenue from the show grounds this morning, ev-|ery son and mother, It seemed, w a s on t h e downtown streets . Many of the orphans who will bo the gues t s of the generous sTtnwmen tomorrow afternoon, were also In the crowds to get their first ideas of what they will sen a t the oircus.

Was Ruth Teachout murdered at the spot where her purse and parasol were found?
If she was murdered there* what has become of her hat and the white stook which she wore beneath the fatal ribbon?
These are the questions which puzzle the officers detailed on the mysterious murder case. Many believe that the unfortunate girl was strangled at another place, probably in the woods at the top of the bluff, the body ooncealed until after dark and then placed in the river, the parasol and purse being left on the big rock to mislead her friends if search began before the body was disposed of.
To bear out this belief, the police point to the absence of the girl's hat and the white turnover which she wore about her neck beneath the ribbon with whioh she was strangled. Neither of these articles has been found, and the officers construe this as signifying that the murder was committed at another place. Miss Eva Teachout, 4202 Second avenue S, a sister of the murdered girl, says that when Ruth left home she wore the fatal blue ribbon, and beneath it was a white turnover. The ribbon was first drawn across the throat in front, crossed at the back and, brought to the front again, where it was tied in a bowknot and pinned with the cameo pin which belonged to her mother. When the body was found the ribbon was drawn from the back and tied in a double square knot under the chin. The turnover was missing and has not yet been found.
Ever sinoe the murder was discovered, rivermen have kept a sharp outlook for the hat and turnover, but have not found them. Every pile of driftwood below the spot where the parasol and purse were found has been carefully searched without result. It is said that the articles would undoubtedly lodge somewhere if they are in the water unless they were weighted so as to sink.
Howard Taylor, the erstwhile friend of the murdered girl, has received much notoriety in connection with her death, but as yet the police have not found a single thing to connect him with the affair. He says that he was at the Dewey theater the afternoon of the girl's disappearance, with James E. Kidder, 4315 Fortieth avenue S, who lives near the river bank, about two miles from where the unfortunate girl's effects were found. No one else, however, has been found who saw Taylor on that fatal afternoon except a Minnehaha streetcar conductor, who thought he saw him on a Minnehaha car.
The police are loath to believe that Taylor was in any way connected with the tragedy, despite the fact that members of the Teachout family have voiced suspicions that he knew something of the girl's disappearance. The only reason that can be given for connecting his name with the affair is the fact that he took her to Chicago over a year ago—an act that caused his wife's suicid,e—and that he had desired to escort her; to some place of amusement today.,, She.,, bad recently become engaged to marry another man.
A rare joke on the Dunn men of the late republican state convention is the strong antimerger plank in the platform. It was expected that under any circumstances there would be some indorsement of Governor Van Sant and a reaffirmation on the merger, distasteful as it would be to some of the interested parties. But no one was prepared for the vigorous declaration finally passed.
Credit for this is due to Senators R. B. Thompson of Preston and Samuel Lord of Kasson, who were on the resolutions committee. They drafted the plank with care, and the language of it is all that the most ardent admirer of the governor and his course against the merger could desire.
The plank came near meeting with grief in the committee, where some of Mr. Dunn's friends wanted to eliminate the subject entirely. They were plainly told that if they voted it down, the matter would be carried on the floor of the convention with a minority report. This bluff settled it.
The Dunn men did not care to have a controversy on the merger precipitated in the convention before the nomination for governor was reached. They subsided, and swallowed the plank in its original shape.
So the republican party in convention assembled has bade farewell to Governor Van Sant's administration, with language indorsing and commending him, and thanking him for instituting the megre litigation, coupling his name with that of Presi-. dent Roosevelt.

SURPRISED THE THUG
Both the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern ra i lway companies have decided t o oppose the demand of t h e city tha t the bridge over the rai lway tracks at U n i vers i ty and T w e n t y - n i n t h avenues N B shall be replaced a t the expense of the companies .
In i ts answers the companies deny the sufficiency and the legal i ty of the condemnation proceedings of 1892, by w h i c h the city opened a road over the tracks of the rai lway companies .
They a l so produce the agreement be t w e e n the ci ty and the companies by the terms of which the latter were to build the first bridge, but the crossing should ever afterward be mainta ined at the e x pense of the municipality.
The main contention, however, wil l be based on the point that the railroad w a s there first and has the right of w a y for all t ime; wherefore i t is the duty of the c i ty to a s s u m e the expense of keeping the crossing in proper condition.
Whi le this is a n old Question in the rai lway history of the state , City At - , torney Frank H e a l y says that the point has never before been squarely before the supreme court. The court proceedings consequently wil l be of the h ighes t importance.
In spite of the precautions on the part of the police to have the Fourth pass w i t h no accidents , several painful injuries have already been reported. All of the cases of powder burns are naturally at tended by the fear of tetanus, tho in m o s t ins tances the injured were promptly treated by phys ic ians and the possibility of the dread disease reduced to a min imum.
Probably the most painful injury to date i s t h a t of Ralph Johnson, 3137 Sixteenth avenue 'S , who had a large nail b lown thru the palm of his hand by the accidental discharge of a toy cannon. Half an hour before the accident the boy had been warned to be careful in handling explos ives . A neighbor's boy left the cannon in Johnson's yard, and Ralph decided to see if it would go. A load had already been put in, which he tried to ge t out w i t h a nail. Whi le digging a t the powder it exploded, driving the nail thru the palm of his hand. A physician w a s called and, after the wound was dressed, the boy e x pressed h is determination vto finish h is celebration. %
T w o other accidents c a m e near proving fatal. Es ther Friedman, 12 years old, 558 E ighth avenue N, had her hand lacerated and her face burned by the explosion of a t o y pistol. Will ie Johnson, 265 T w e n t y -first avenue S, w a s accidentally shot wi th a 22-caliber rifle by h i s friend, George Shutta. H e w a s taken to his home and tho wound is not serious.
The other accidents to date were painful, b u t none of t h e m w a s serious.

SWUNG AX VICIOUSLY Insane Man Overpowered by Strategy of
the Police. An apparently insane man armed with
an ax attempted to enliven things on Washington avenue N Saturday night, and the police were called to take the man to the county jail.
The man, whose name could not be learned, defied the officers, and it was only by strategy that he was finally captured. One officer pretended to attack him from the front, and as he swung the ax he was pinned down from behind. He will be held pending an examination by the probate court.

Three times yesterday afternoon a handsome stray water spaniel a t tempted to commit suicide by throwing himself beneath the whee ls of a Hennepin avenue street car at Washington avenue.
E a c h t ime he w a s pulled away , and the third t ime Patrolman Charles Hal l -man, whose beat is a t Washington and Hennepin avenues , took the dog to the rear of Donahue's saloon, where he w a s tied.
A crowd of curbstone Idlers, searching for amusement of a n y kind, had caught the poor, homeless brute and applied a liberal quantity of a highly irritating chemical to the creature's body. For a t ime the dog rolled about the pavement, howling wi th pain. See ing an approaching car, and beside himself w i th the pain, the sufferer sought to end his agony by throwing himself in front of it.
Street car m e n pulled the dog a w a y and the car passed.
The poor brute, literally crying w i t h pain, wai ted unti l another c a r t a m e , when he aga in tried to plunge beneath the wheels . Aga in he w a s rescued. Still a third t ime he sought death, and finally Patrolman Hal lman tied him up until the irritating effects of the chemical had ceased.
The young rowdies who tortured the dog escaped before the officer arrived.

Oscar Rolf, a Leading Tenor, Has Appendicitis a t Swedish Hospital.

H e w a s taken ill suddenly at the W e s t hotel Saturday. The attending physician hopes the s inger m a y be well enough by Wednesday to leave w i t h the rest of the chorus.
Rolf is 23 years of age, the possessor of a singularly s w e e t v f i ce , and a singer in the Royal Opera in Stockholm.
N o department of the Minnesota s ta te fair has made more rapid development than that devoted -ito t h e handiwork.. of women. Formerly r this divis ion w a s s towed a w a y In a small corner of the main building. I t has so far outgrown its old accommodat ions that now it is housed in the large building, w h i c h not m a n y years ago held the entire agricultural and horticultural exhibit of the fair.
B. F . Ne lson of Minneapolis is superintendent of this division of the.fair , and has as his ass i s tant Mrs. M. L. Luther of 523 Fores t avenue, Minneapolis, who has charge of all the detai ls and who has g iven the premium list this year a very careful revision. In a general w a y the l ist is divided into two classes . Class 75 is devoted to all kinds of needlework, e m broidery, china painting, tapestry painting, beadwork, baskets , burntwood, leather and velvet , d a y modeling, designing, woodcarving and drawing. Bes ides these and many other things, making up some 160 separate tit les, there are premiums for the bes t industrial exhibit from a n y school in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
The other division of the women's de partment is devoted to cookery, and includes all sorts of bread, cake, jelly and jams , a s well a s pickles, candy and canned fruit. Exhibitors are required to file wi th the superintendent of the women's bui ld ' ing at the t ime of making entry and a recipe or formula for making the article exhibited.
It is desired b y the m a n a g e m e n t of the fair that there be a very representative exhibit b y the w o m e n of Minnesota, and those who have a n y interest whatever in the subject are requested to send for premium l is ts and entry blanks to Secretary E. W . Randall at the fair grounds and in due t ime to make their entries and exhibit their articles.
The women's building will be enriched this year by the exhibition of various articles which have in recent years been shown a t the women's federation quarters in t h e clubhouse on the fair grounds.
The fair opens this year on Aug. 29 and closes on Sept. 8. Half - fare rates have been secured on all railroads.
Woodmen's gala week opened auspiciously this afternoon with a big attendance. The grounds at Seventh street and Second avenue N have been inclosed with a canvas wall and within are over a dozen 'tented shows arranged in a circle with as many more side attractions.
The most notable of the shows is called the Royal Hippodrome and the entertainment, which lasts over an hour, includes some first class tumbling and posturing by the Mangean family of acrobats, feats of strength by the Francellas, a man and a woman, concluding with a very funny boxing bout
?and a lightning drill by the Muncie zouaves who are marvelously perfect in their various movements. At the finish they scale a wall twenty feet high like so many cats.
The "death trap loop" proves to be quite as sensational as promised and is even more thrilling than the feat which was the feature of the Elks' carnival last year.
The trained animal show includes performances by three groups of animals, including lions, leopards, panthers and hyenas, which take place in a big steel arena. The show is excellent and has several novelties, such as i. lion wrestling with his keeper, and a "fight for life" in which a huge African lion puts up a show of ferocity that is startling.
In the open air Bigney made a successful high dive, and the Zella trio performed on a trapeze sixty feet from the ground.
Among the other shows are electrical and Are dances by Lotta, an illustration called Creation, a London ghost show, a cave of the winds and laughing, gallery, and several freak shows. Gondolas, and a Ferris wheel are also among the amusement devices.
The Mundy shows appear to be all that is claimed for them, while the properties, seating arrangements and general arrangements are excellent.
Performances are to be given each afternoon and evening for the rest of the week. The electrical illumination at night is promised to be very elaborate. Confetti will be allowed within moderation, and with the music of two bands and four orchestrians the scene is bound to be a lively one into which the element of fun will enter more largely than at any previous fairs of the kind held in Minneapolis.
Tomorrow and Wednesday afternoons are to be devoted especially to children. Tomorrow night there will be a parade at 7 o'clock in which the Woodmen drill teants, and several companies of militia are to participate. A unique feature is to be the appearance of a full grown lion riding in an automobile.
The state board of oontrol has just completed a deal for placing $4,500,-000 insurance on the buildings of nineteen institutions of the state, for which an average premium for three years of 1% per cent will be paid— $56,250.
The writing of the insurance was engineered by S. W. Leavitt of the board, and the low rate—much lower than was first thought coultf be obtained—secured by direct dealings with the Minnesota and Dakota board of fire underwriters and with the large insurance companies, leaving the agents and their profits out of the deal.
The total amount of insurance heretofore carried on state institutions was $3,700,000. The planned increase in this total, is entirely in. the amount carried on the new state capitol. This building is in a much more advanced state of completion than three years ago, when the state insurance was written before, and therefore the increased amount of insurance is deemed esential. It is proposed to make the total amount of insurance on the new marble state house $1,000,000. There is now $200,000 written on the building. Already $500,000 of the new insurance has been written on the caDitol.
The insurance on the respective buildings of the state university now is in separate policies. It is proposed in the new writing, to cover the university buildings with $1,250,000 protection, written in what is known in insurance circles as "the general form."
The insurance on the state institutions especially in charge of the board of control—Insane asylums and hospitals, and Institutions of correction— will be written Aug. 1, when the old insurance expires. All the new insurance will be written so that it will expire at the same time—Aug. 1, 1907. Some thirty "old line" insurance companies participate in the writing. The rates are different at different institutions, being especially low on the new state capitol, which is of fire-proof construction, but so arranged as to make the average, as above stated, 1% i>er cent.
Walter I. Fisher of Minneapolis, secretary of the Minnesota and Dakota board of fire underwriters, has just returned from a personal visit to every state institution, where he made detailed inspection and diagrams of every building for the purpose of establishing the rate. He has suggested many improvements of a minor nature, towards preventing accidental fires, and their prompt extinguishing— all of which recommendations will be carried out by the board of control. These desired changes include the placing of iron doors at certain places, additional firehose, more hydrants, better water supplies, etc. In addition, the board of control has underway the flreprooflng of the Rochester, St. Peter and Fergus Falls hospitals—which work is almost completed.
While these improvements helped the board to get a lower rate than they otherwise would, the board desires to have it understood that their primary object is to secure the greater personal safety for the various institution inmates.

Outside of the belts that were flooded there has been little complaint until the past week, but the continued showery weather, with the temperature ruling rather cool, hat delayed growth, discolored the grain, and haa had A general bad effect. Taking the valley as a whole, the damage thus far has not been great, but what is needed now 1B bright, dry, warm weather, and lots of it.
The valley is spotted, and It Is impossible t« give a fair Idea of the conditions by generalizing. Northwestern Walsh county, along the Walhalla line, gives promise of an abundant crop. Farther north evidences of too much raia are to be found on every hand. From Cavalier north to Walhalla the valley crops are poor. Water Is standing in aU the low places, fields are weedy, and there are many fields which have not recovered from the wetting of the spring. Similar conditions prevail on the Neche line, and on the Northern Pacific near the boundary. This belt of wet territory reaches into Minne. sota, and, while there is a fair acreage of wheat, the yield will be slim.
South of Grand Forks there is a like variety. Belts a few miles in width have been injured, while intervening strips are doing well. West of the valley the showery weather has been acceptable.
The farmers have little to fear now except hot winds. A few hot blasts when the grain is la milk will ruin it utterly, and if excessive heat comes when the grain is, in the dough stage, while it will not be entirely ruined, it will be shrunken and off grade.
This is not proving a good corn year. There is still time for the eorn fodder crop to make good growth, and the greater part of the corn In the state is raised for fodder.

Speoial to The Journal. Iowa Falls, Iowa, July 4.—That J.
F. Hardin of Eldora, treasurer of the State Sunday School association, was the intended victim of the burglar who shot Rev. Charles F. Mayne is a theory now advanced in the matter of the robbers' raid made on this city last week. It Is said Mr. Mayne and Mr. Hardin look very much alike.
A meeting was held by the association at the operahouse and $1,500 was raised to pay off a debt. It was known that Mr. Hardin would receive the money and the burglars may have confused the two men on account of their resemblance and the close proximity of their stopping"-places.
