THE DAY AT HARRIET iVand Concerts, Boating and Fireworks Make an Attractive Program. Fireworks, boats, a charming roof gar-, den, pleasant drives and rambles are all combining today to make Lake Harriet a delightful place to spend the Fourth, Add- ed to these are two excellent patriotic con- certs, rendered by Mr. Oberhoffer and the 'park band, both programs being filled with stirring patriotic music as well as popu- lar favorites. Tonight there will be a dis- play of fireworks, which can be viewed 'best from the roof garden. Yesterday afternoon, August C. Tacke, A noted bombardon or tuba player, for- merly of the Duss and the Marine bands, Imade hl3 first appearance as a soloist at Xake Harriet. Mr. Tacke is the third soloist from famous musical organizations to appear at these concerts. He gave a 'very fina and smooth performance on a most unwieldy Instrument—yet one capa- ble of many beautiful effects. Mr. Tacke's appearance was a success, and it is to be expected t ha t his name will be seen again soon on the Harriet programs. The program of tonight's conoert fol- lows: PART I.

ANIMALS ON PARADE MUBDEBED GIBL'S HAT IS MISSING ABSENCE RAISES QUESTION AS TO SCENE OF MURDER. The River and Both Banks Have Been Thoroly Searched, but No Trace of the Hat or of the Girl's Stock Has Been Found. GLORY A-PLENTY , FOB VAN Sfll How the Anti-Merger Plank Was v Diplomatically Nailed to the Platform. Gentry Brothers' First Display Witnessed by Large Crowds. When the glittering chariots containing lth<3 G e n t r y Brothers' hundreds of actor 'dogs came rolling down Nicollet avenue from the show grounds this morning, ev- |ery son and mother, It seemed, was on the downtown streets. Many of the or- phans who will bo the guests of the gen- erous sTtnwmen tomorrow afternoon, were also In the crowds to get their first ideas of what they will sen at the oircus. Leading, and preparing the way for the dogs, ponies, elephants and monkeys, was 8. platoon of Chief Conroy's finest. Fol- lowing the mounted bluecoats came the iGentry Concert band. A great steam cal- jllope reeled off selections from "Carmen," end, at one point, touched upon "There'll Ba a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight." "Noro," the greatest of the elephant herd, whoto painful molar caused such jeemsternation In the animal college yes- terday, felt well enough to make the.jour- fiey this morning, but he Is still feeding on Imalted milk. What pleased the crowds especially f rera the several tiny Shetland ponies that ollowed their mothers all along the pa- rade foute. Interest also centered in the emillng Kitamuras—the family of royal Japanese acrobats and foot jugglers. Genuine Arabs, from Egyptian climes, (swayed to and fro between the humps of Igreat camels, and the sacred cattle from Tibet followed on. Screeching monkeys from Brazilian jungles fought savagely in their strong cages for the possession of peanuts fed them by hundreds of boys, and .viftd witi. the latter in their efforts to produce a noisy Fourth. This afternoon 'the great tent? near Thirteenth and Nic- ollet avenue are crowded with parents and children. Tomorrow will be orphan day. 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 puz- zle the officers detailed on the mys- terious murder case. Many believe that the unfortunate girl was stran- gled 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 be- gan 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 rib- bon 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 be- longed 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 discov- ered, rivermen have kept a sharp out- look 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 re- sult. 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 after- noon of the girl's disappearance, with James E. Kidder, 4315 Fortieth ave- nue S, who lives near the river bank, about two miles from where the un- fortunate girl's effects were found. No one else, however, has been found who saw Taylor on that fatal after- noon 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 some- thing of the girl's disappearance. The only reason that can be given for connecting his name with the af- fair 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 an- other 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 un- der any circumstances there would be some indorsement of Governor Van Sant and a reaffirmation on the mer- ger, distasteful as it would be to some of the interested parties. But no one was prepared for the vigorous decla- ration finally passed. Credit for this is due to Senators R. B. Thompson of Preston and Sam- uel 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 ad- mirer 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 mi- nority report. This bluff settled it. The Dunn men did not care to have a controversy on the merger precipi- tated 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 conven- tion assembled has bade farewell to Governor Van Sant's administration, with language indorsing and com- mending him, and thanking him for instituting the megre litigation, coupling his name with that of Presi-. dent Roosevelt.

Thompson, Jr., aged 3 years, unstained fatal injuries Saturday from be- ing trampled upon by a horse in the barn of his grandfather, C. C. Christianson, 901 Minnehaha avenue. The boy was found by John Hanley, a fireman, and was im- mediately sent to the Asbury hospital, where lie died shortly afterwards. The child had been sent from the home Of his parents. 2912 Eighteenth avenue S, for a visit to his grandfather, as his moth- er was ill in bed and his father expected !to take a train for Chicago. Mr. Chris- jtlanson and the child had been driving, and after the grandfather had unharnessed tho horse he entered the house, thinking ltis grandson had followed. The father was notified Just as he was mtching the train. He is the paying teller 'Of tho Hennepin County Savings bank.

Edward Reniok, a saloonkeeper at Sixth and Jackson streets, St. Paul, was held up in his place early yesterday morning by highwaymen, who took 1115 from the cash register. Mr. Renick was counting over the money and had more cash in the drawer than usual. Shortly after 12 o'clock two men entered the plaoe and he started to wait on them, thinking they were cus- tomers. Instead he looked into a revolver and passed over the cash as ordered. Business for Twelve Months Ending June 30 Shows Big Gains. There has been a large increase in the volume o! businesa carried by the post- office, both in the amount of mail sent out and the mail received. The statistics cover the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904. The amount of registered mail leaving the city was 23 per cent greater than last year. Tho "incoming mail shows an in- crease of 14 per cent. The following is a detailed statement: Ending June 30, 1903. 1004. Letters registered 54,174 64,503 Parcels registered 18,476 23,861 Official letters registered ... 5,580 7,991 Totals 78,230 96,357 Increase, 28 per cent.

SURPRISED THE THUG Both the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern railway companies have decided to oppose the demand of the city that the bridge over the railway tracks at Uni- versity and Twenty-ninth avenues NB shall be replaced at the expense of the companies. In its answers the companies deny the sufficiency and the legality of the con- demnation proceedings of 1892, by which the city opened a road over the tracks of the railway companies. They also produce the agreement be- tween the city and the companies by the terms of which the latter were to build the first bridge, but the crossing should ever afterward be maintained at the ex- pense of the municipality. The main contention, however, will be based on the point that the railroad was there first and has the right of way for all time; wherefore it is the duty of the city to assume the expense of keeping the crossing in proper condition. While this is an old Question in the railway history of the state, City At-, torney Frank Healy says that the point has never before been squarely before the supreme court. The court proceed- ings consequently will be of the highest importance. In spite of the precautions on the part of the police to have the Fourth pass with no accidents, several painful injuries have already been reported. All of the cases of powder burns are naturally attended by the fear of tetanus, tho in most instances the injured were promptly treated by phy- sicians and the possibility of the dread disease reduced to a minimum. Probably the most painful injury to date is that of Ralph Johnson, 3137 Sixteenth avenue'S, who had a large nail blown 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 explo- sives. 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 get out with a nail. While digging at the powder it exploded, driving the nail thru the palm of his hand. A physician was called and, after the wound was dressed, the boy ex- pressed his determination v to finish his celebration. % Two other accidents came near proving fatal. Esther Friedman, 12 years old, 558 Eighth avenue N, had her hand lacerated and her face burned by the explosion of a toy pistol. Willie Johnson, 265 Twenty- first avenue S, was accidentally shot with a 22-caliber rifle by his friend, George Shutta. He was taken to his home and tho wound is not serious. The other accidents to date were painful, but none of them was serious. LOCAL WHISTERS WON w. A Highwayman Well Beaten by His In- tended Victim. Clayton Little, 17 years old, was the vic- tim of an attempted hold-up yesterday morning, and the robber was the vlctfm of a complete surprise. Little is a driver for a grocery firm and had just left the barn after unhitching the horses. There was a call to hold up his hands and a revolver was thrust in his face. The hoM-up stopped right there. Little seized his as- sailant and they rolled over together. The fight lasted several minutes, and Little was badly out up, his eyes being black- ened and his nope broken. However, the robber was much worse and, tearing him- self loose, made his escape. Little picked up the hat and revolver of the assailant and reported the affair to the police at the South Side station. 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 cap- tured. 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. BURGLARS TAKE FURS L. Harris Returns from the Annual Congress In N e w York. W. L. Harris returned to Minneapolis Saturday from the fourteenth annual whist congress, which was held in New York June 27 to July 2. H e reports, that the congress was the most successful ever held, and that the Minneapolis delegation was one of the largest present. The Min- neapolis team captured the Brooklyn tro- phy and the fourteenth congress trophy, the most important one of the play. In the individual play E. A. Montgomery was one of the highest. Judge George W. Bunn of St. Paul was elected presi- dent for the ensuing year. The other players have not yet returned. Mr. Harris left before the last play was over. Three times yesterday afternoon a handsome stray water spaniel attempted to commit suicide by throwing himself beneath the wheels of a Hennepin avenue street car at Washington avenue. Each time he was pulled away, and the third time Patrolman Charles Hall- man, whose beat is at Washington and Hennepin avenues, took the dog to the rear of Donahue's saloon, where he was tied. A crowd of curbstone Idlers, searching for amusement of any kind, had caught the poor, homeless brute and applied a liberal quantity of a highly irritating chemical to the creature's body. For a time the dog rolled about the pavement, howling with pain. Seeing an approaching car, and beside himself with the pain, the sufferer sought to end his agony by throwing himself in front of it. Street car men pulled the dog away and the car passed. The poor brute, literally crying with pain, waited until another cartame, when he again tried to plunge beneath the wheels. Again he was rescued. Still a third time he sought death, and finally Patrolman Hallman tied him up until the irritating effects of the chemical had ceased. The young rowdies who tortured the dog escaped before the officer arrived. FOUR MILLIONS - IN INSURANCE BOARD OP CONTROL PROTECTS STATE INSTITUTIONS.

Scone asked the police this morning) to stop the practice of neighbor- hood boys who were celebrating with load- ed revolvers. A crowd of young men passed her place this forenoon, firing what she thought were blank cartridges. When they had gone by some distance, one of them flred a pistol and a bullet crashed thru her parlor window. TO SHOW WOMEN'S WORK HANDIWORK OF WOMEN TO BE MADE PROMINENT AT THE NEXT STATE FAIR. BABY'S FATAL FALL Screen Gave Way and Hennlng Boy Fell to Sidewalk. While A. Henning, 740 Edmund street, St. Paul, was reading the paper, Satur- day afternoon, his 2-year-old baby crawled upon the window ledge and fell to its death. The father, thinking that there was no danger because there was a wire screen, had paid no attention to the child. Suddenly the screen gave way and the child fell to the pavement below. When picked up, it was found that the skull was fractured. The boy died early in the morning. The mother was visiting a sick rela- tive in South Dakota. She was notified by telegraph immediately, but did nok ar- rive in time to see her child alive. ROW AT OUTING John Carlson Injured at Political Club's Picnic. John Carlson of St. Paul is at the Beth- esda hospital in a serious condition as the result of a row incidental to an outing of a St. Paul political club last Saturday. The club went to Schade park for an all-day outing after the close of the state convention, and during the day several of the young men of the neighborhood attempted to force their way into the festivities. A fight followed, in which Carlson was kicked in the abdomen. He is unable to tell the name of the man who injured him.

No at- tempt was made to rob the cash drawer, which contained a large sum of money. The Grandest Trip in the World Is the trip to the Yellowstone National Park. The" trip can be made this season, cheaper and more comfort- ably than ever before. The round- trip rates are greatly reduced and in- clude all your expenses at the hotels in the park. Two new hotels have been completed this season; one of them, the "Old Faithful Inn," is the most unique hotel in the world. -It is built almost entirely of pine logs. If you will send me a list of your friends who would be interested in a personally conducted tour of the Yel- lowstone Park during the latter part of July, I will send them the itinerary of such a trip. G. F. McNeill, City Ticket Agent, Northern Paoiflo Ry« Oscar Rolf, a Leading Tenor, Has Appen- dicitis at Swedish Hospital. Oscar Rolf, one of the leading tenors of the Lund students' chorus, is seriously ill at the Swedish hospital in this city with appendicitis. He was taken ill sud- denly at the West hotel Saturday. The attending physician hopes the singer may be well enough by Wednesday to leave with the rest of the chorus. Rolf is 23 years of age, the possessor of a singularly sweet vfice, and a singer in the Royal Opera in Stockholm. No department of the Minnesota state fair has made more rapid development than that devoted -ito the handiwork.. of women. Formerly r this division was stowed away In a small corner of the main building. It has so far outgrown its old accommodations that now it is housed in the large building, which not many years ago held the entire agricul- tural and horticultural exhibit of the fair. B. F. Nelson of Minneapolis is super- intendent of this division of the.fair, and has as his assistant Mrs. M. L. Luther of 523 Forest avenue, Minneapolis, who has charge of all the details and who has given the premium list this year a very careful revision. In a general way the list is divided into two classes. Class 75 is devoted to all kinds of needlework, em- broidery, china painting, tapestry paint- ing, beadwork, baskets, burntwood, leath- er and velvet, day modeling, designing, woodcarving and drawing. Besides these and many other things, making up some 160 separate titles, there are premiums for the best industrial exhibit from any school in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The other division of the women's de- partment is devoted to cookery, and in- cludes all sorts of bread, cake, jelly and jams, as well as pickles, candy and canned fruit. Exhibitors are required to file with the superintendent of the women's build' ing at the time of making entry and a recipe or formula for making the article exhibited. It is desired by the management of the fair that there be a very representative exhibit by the women of Minnesota, and those who have any interest whatever in the subject are requested to send for premium lists and entry blanks to Sec- retary E. W. Randall at the fair grounds and in due time to make their entries and exhibit their articles. The women's building will be enriched this year by the exhibition of various ar- ticles which have in recent years been shown at the women's federation quarters in the 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 aus- piciously this afternoon with a big at- tendance. 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, con- cluding 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 ani- mals, including lions, leopards, pan- thers and hyenas, which take place in a big steel arena. The show is excel- lent and has several novelties, such as i. lion wrestling with his keeper, and a "fight for life" in which a huge Afri- can lion puts up a show of ferocity that is startling. In the open air Bigney made a suc- cessful high dive, and the Zella trio performed on a trapeze sixty feet from the ground. Among the other shows are electric- al and Are dances by Lotta, an illus- tration 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 de- vices. 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 illumina- tion 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 after- noons 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 appear- ance 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 nine- teen 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 ob- tained—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 here- tofore 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 ad- vanced 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 uni- versity buildings with $1,250,000 pro- tection, written in what is known in insurance circles as "the general form." The insurance on the state institu- tions especially in charge of the board of control—Insane asylums and hos- pitals, and Institutions of correction— will be written Aug. 1, when the old insurance expires. All the new insur- ance will be written so that it will ex- pire at the same time—Aug. 1, 1907. Some thirty "old line" insurance com- panies participate in the writing. The rates are different at different institu- tions, 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, sec- retary of the Minnesota and Dakota board of fire underwriters, has just returned from a personal visit to every state institution, where he made de- tailed inspection and diagrams of every building for the purpose of es- tablishing the rate. He has suggested many improvements of a minor na- ture, 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 hy- drants, better water supplies, etc. In addition, the board of control has un- derway the flreprooflng of the Roches- ter, St. Peter and Fergus Falls hospi- tals—which work is almost completed. While these improvements helped the board to get a lower rate than they otherwise would, the board de- sires to have it understood that their primary object is to secure the great- er personal safety for the various in- stitution inmates. Special to The Journal. Grand Forka, N. D., July 4.—The Ked river valley la getting too much rain, and the crop* are showing its effects In yellowed patches and fields covered with weeds. For three weeks the weather has been showery, and In a few sections there have been occasional rains ever since spring opened. Outside of the belts that were flooded there has been little complaint until the past week, but the continued showery weath- er, 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 give a fair Idea of the conditions by general- izing. 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 ac- ceptable. 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.

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 asso- ciation at the operahouse and $1,500 was raised to pay off a debt. It was known that Mr. Hardin would re- ceive the money and the burglars may have confused the two men on account of their resemblance and the close proximity of their stopping"- places. JUDGE FINES BIS SON FOR CHARIVARI RIOT New York Bun Speoial Service. Grand Island, Neb., July 4.—On the ground that his son was the son of a magistrate and should have known better, Polioe Judge Garn fined his offspring, Emil Gam, an extra $3 in dealing out justice to the members of a charivari party. The others, being fined only $1, paid, but young Garn, whose fine w a s $4, could not produce that much and went to jail. The merry- makers had demanded more than the usual treat from the bridegroom, and, when this was refused, the affair became a riot and the bride and bridegroom were handled roughly. The police were called to stop the trouble. GATS INYADE POLICE STATION BY THE SCORE Special to The Journal, Pittsburg, July 4.—The police of the Lawrenceville station are search- ing for a practical joker who today succeeded in nearly filling the cellar of the stationhouse with cats of all descriptions. Nearly twenty cats also stood in the street in front of the station, and so noisy were their dem- onstrations and mewings that they had to be driven away. The mystery was explained by find- ing a lot of catnip which had been thrown into the cellar. In front of the station on the street nearly a bas- ketful of catnip had been scattered about. YANCOUYER BOOKMAKER IS ROBBED OF $8,600 Special to The Journal. Vancouver, B. C, July 4.—W. H.

Lake, Special to The Journal. Devils Lake, N. D. f July 4.—A feavy rain* storm visited this section Saturday evening and continued all night. It is estimated that the precipitation was about two inches. Many grain fields in the low sections are under water and more or less damage will result to the crops. Much of the wheat crop has headed out and looks excellent, but additional moisture may have a detrimental effect upon it, if it comes more than a week before maturing. Haying Is under way and some «f the new crop has been brought to market. It is the most abundant here for many years. MONEY REPORTS BERLIN, July 4.—Exchange on London. 20 marks 40% pfgs for checks.

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.

Leading, and preparing the w a y for the dogs, ponies, e lephants and monkeys , w a s 8. platoon of Chief Conroy's finest. F o l ­lowing the mounted bluecoats came the iGentry Concert band. A great s team cal-jllope reeled off selections from "Carmen," end , a t one point, touched upon "There'll Ba a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight ."

"Noro," the greatest of the elephant herd, whoto painful molar caused such jeemsternation In the animal college y e s ­terday, felt well enough to make the . jour-fiey this morning, but he Is still feeding on Imalted milk.

W h a t pleased the crowds especially

frera the several t iny Shetland ponies that ollowed their mothers all a long the pa­

rade foute. Interest also centered in the emi l lng Kitamuras—the family of royal Japanese acrobats and foot jugglers.

Genuine Arabs, from Egypt ian cl imes, (swayed to and fro between the humps of Igreat camels , and the sacred cattle from Tibet followed on. Screeching monkeys from Brazilian jungles fought savagely in the ir strong cages for the possession of peanuts fed them by hundreds of boys, and .viftd witi . the latter in their efforts to produce a noisy Fourth. This afternoon 'the great tent? near Thirteenth and N i c ­ol let avenue are crowded wi th parents and children. Tomorrow will be orphan day.

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.

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.

Oscar Rolf, one of the leading tenors of the Lund students ' chorus, is seriously ill a t the Swedish hospital in this c i ty wi th appendicit is . 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.

Special to The Journal. Grand Forka, N. D., July 4.—The Ked river

valley la getting too much rain, and the crop* are showing its effects In yellowed patches and fields covered with weeds. For three weeks the weather has been showery, and In a few sections there have been occasional rains ever since spring opened. 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.

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.

Cry of Too Much Rain Around Dei-Da . Lake,

Special to The Journal. Devils Lake, N. D.f July 4.—A feavy rain*

storm visited this section Saturday evening and continued all night. It is estimated that the precipitation was about two inches. Many grain fields in the low sections are under water and more or less damage will result to the crops. Much of the wheat crop has headed out and looks excellent, but additional moisture may have a detrimental effect upon it, if it comes more than a week before maturing.

Haying Is under way and some «f the new crop has been brought to market. It is the most abundant here for many years.
