Il KING BEE.

E1-SsaeriH King Holds One on the Occasion
of His Fiftieth Birshday-A Most 9stoy-
atis Occasion Participated a by Large
Number of keading Citizens.
Happy is the man who, having reached
the fftieth mile post on the highway of
life, can look around him and contemplate
the fight of half century of golden years
In the midst of honors and prosperity, and
surrounded by circle of warm hearted
and sincere friends.
In this instance the description is admir-
ably applicable to an event that occurred
last night, and which marked the turning
point in the career of one of st. Pauls
oldest and best known citizens Reference
is had to ex-Sherif James King, who cele-
brated under the happiest auspices
the fftieth anniversary of his birthday.
The event was signalized by number
of his friends who arranged for q quiet
gathering and celebration at the Office of
Sheriff O'Gorman, and right royalty was
the affair honored. It was understood by
the knowing ones that private lunch and
reception would be rendered the ex-sheriff
and few invitations were sent out, re-
questing the presence of those invited at
O'clock.
At that hour number of we'll known
citizens had gathered in the sheriff's office,
and when ex-sheriff King arrived he was
the recipient of numerous congratulations.
After the preliminary talk had been dis
posed of, County Attorney Egan stepped
forward and in tidy speech, presented
ex-Sheriff King with beautiful and
costly gold locket.
The locket is a model of neatness and
BEAUTY. On one side is engraved the mon
ogram u. k" and on the adverse side is
the following inscription: presented to
James King by his friends on his fiftieth
| birthday, August 4th, 1888"
| The locket is diamond in shape, with
sunken panels and raised wreath and mon
| ogram in two colors of gold and Roman
! gold background. The engraving is most
! exquisite and beautiful, both in design
and workmanship, and it constitutes a
most neat and costly testimonial. The
| locket was presented in a neat speech, to
which the recipient responded in few
well chosen and eloquent remarks. After
the presentation the party adjourned to
Mr.. A. B. Lasher's, where q dainty lunch
was served.
Several hours were here passed in de-
lightful social intercourse, the toasts and
responses being very timely and numerous.
while the beneficiary was wished very
many returns of the happy and joyous
occasion.

lowing:

SOCIAL WORLD.
WAv They go Array From. Home.


Most people give as a reason for going
away from home in summer, that they
need change, presumable of air, diet, and
scene, even though the air is more impure
and hotter, the diet scanty, and badly pre-
pared. and the surroundings generally
homely and common.
There are always some who will wonder
why people of wealth whose houses ARE
large, airy, cool, and filled with all that
makes existence one holiday, whose well
appointed tables are supplied daily with
freshest of fruits, and vegetables, choice
cuts of meat, and fish as fresh as can be,
way such people prefer close rooms in the
country. with dusty roads, low oefled
rooms, poorly cooked food, mill, the cream
OF which has been converted into what
courtesy calls butter, but which looks like
yellow lard and almost liquid at that
There is more excuse for the rush to the
lake side resorts, for there is always the
water, boating, bathing, fishing, even if
you never catch fish or ever have
one bite. Our climate in summer is so cool
and delightful that we do not need to leave
town for comfort, but fashion demands
that all votaries go somewhere; therefore
all the late winter and early spring Is spent
with dressmaker and seamstress, in pre-
pairing a suitable outfit for all the family
Happily the sensible mother looks up the
boys old clothes, has patch here and
stitch there set. so that they may play out
OF doors, IN all the glory OF sunshine and
shower, make mud pies or sail miniature
boats all the day long, thus getting the
full beneht of the beautiful summer. One
admires the little ladies in full dress, on
verandss and in parlors, but always with
this mental reservation, show much
happier they would be in strong shoes and
stockings, gingham aprons, out playing in
the sand, kissed by the sun and refreshed
by the breeze. Even the girls of larger
growth would be benefited by more sun
shine, and would take to 1t but for fear of
their 'complexions." Alas! do they not
know that the sun is the best, as we'll as
the oldest cosmetic maker IL the world.
The events of the week have merged into
the coming and going of visitors and the
regatta and boating at the lakes.

Yesterday, the extra day of the great
Mlnnetonka regatta, was productive OF
| more and better sport than either 1of the
two preceding days, owing, however, to
the conflicting interests, under whose aus
pices the races were giyen-part being
given in front of one hotel and the balance
in front Of another-and the failure to
properly advertise the attractions, the
attendance was nothing like what it
should have been, not more
than 200 or 1900 people taking in the
events. The day was all that could be de-
sired for euch contests, the rays of the sun
tempered by clouds, while the air was
just cool enough for comfort, without suf-
fcient velocity to seriously ruffiethe bosom
of the lake.
The first races took place opposite the
Lake Park hotel, and consisted of scull-
ing contest for purse of $500, and skiff
race for the Ingleside silver medal
valued at $50, and S25 in
money, the latter to go to the second. The
judges were DR.. s. B. Parsons, Ingleside;
B. Segal, Minneapolis, and A. S. Diamond,
Excelsior, with j. B. Wallace, of Chicago,
as referee. The course was about two
miles and half, southwest from Lake
Park hotel toward Ingleside, and is pro-
neunced by the oarsmen participating as
far superior to the course ON the upper
lake, where the contests of the regular
regatta took place.
SINGLE SOULS.
The first race was for single SOULS, for
purse of $5OO-S20s to first, $3.50 to Sec
ond, SIS to third, $50 to fourth and S25 to
fifth. The entries were Riley, Hosmer,
Gandour, Teemer, Lee, Plaisted and Par
ker, having positions from the inside in
the order named. The start was made
at 2 o'clock, all the oarsmen get
ting of on nearly even time. Soon
after the start Hosmer and
Teemer pulled out clear of the other con-
testants, lead they held to the finish, the
others nearly even until after turning the
buoy, when Plaisted began to drop to the
rear. Coming home Hosmer and Teemer
had spirited struggle for the lead, their
boats being almost head and head until
dDoub d quarter Oh mile from nome when
Hosmer began to slowly forge ahead, an
advantage that he had increased to a length
when he passed the home stake, Teemer
second, about the same distance in front
of Lee, Gaudaur fourth, Riley fifth, half
length in front of Parker, who had four
good lengths the best of PIaisted.
sKIFF RACE.
The skiff race wac spiritedly contested
by B. l. McKensie, Geo. Pearl, Mat.
Steward, @. s. Gideon and G. F.
Seaman. The distance WAS a
mile and half with a turn, and the finish
was in the order given above, all we'll to-
gether. No time was taken.

Ar. Yam HOrte'S Danger.
Winnipeg Sun, Aug, 81

Mr.. Gerrit w. Wis, the Dutch capitalist,
returned to the city from Port Arthur. He
was on board the steamer Champion with
Mr.. Van Horne when she ran on rocks and
was wrecked. The party left Port Arthur
on Saturday night for Nepigon on
board the steamer Champion, which be-
longs to the G. P. r. They had pleasant
sail down the lake until the following day
when the vessel ran on a reef of rocks a con-
siderable distance from shore, forty miles
east of Nepigop, and ten miles from Bat
tie Island. An effort was made to get the
vessel off, but finding that impossible, Mr..
Van Horne and his assistant, Mr.. Piers, to-
gether with Mr. Wis and a gentleman nam
ed Harris, who accompanied the party,
put OFF III a birch bark canoe. They Sc
cured fiat boat and after padding a con-
siderable distance hailed boat which
belonged to one of the contractors on the
Nepigon section. In this craft they sailed
to Nepigon, where they landed the follow
ing day. The "Silver Spray" boat was
sent from Port Arthur to take the Cham
pion off the rocks. Mr.. Wis was very we'll
pleased with the progress that is being
made on the construction of the line. The
gentlemen whom he represents are share
holders IN the O. 2. r.

RAIL AND RIVER.
The Se,kirk Branch of the G. p. r..

This enterprise, begun within year
will to morrow be completed and ready
for traffic. belief has been expressed
that this line would not be paying in
vestment, bat visit to Selkirk just now
would soon dispel this idea the line
makes a detour around the place and
skirts the margin of the Red river for a
considerable distance opposite the town,
and as the authorities contemplate piling
the river for wharves, the entire trade of
Lake Winnipeg will hereafter be concen-
trsted there, and be transferred thence by
rail on the new line to Winnipeg. The
new saw mill of the Northwest Lumber
company is in full blast on the head Of
the west slough just north of the railway
track, and by the time it gets through the
sea full of logs lying in the pond the
trains will have good many million feet
to carry to the market in Winnipeg, and
other points west. The passenger traffic
also bids fair to be good one, as many
people in Winnipeg contemplate putting
up residences TO- themselves in some of
the shady hooks that are around Selkirk,
and thus escape the high rents that prevail
in Winnipeg. Selkirk, owing to its being
the head of lake navigation, bids fair to
become to Winnipeg what Greenook is to
Glasgow in Scotland.

will be laid until 0rtonyille is reached be-
cause the material can be brought in cheap
er over the Milwaukee than over the roads
that run to Fargo. At Ortonville, Just on
the Minnesota side of the dividing line, a
connection is made with the Mil

to Chicago and Milwaukee independent of
the Northern Pacific or the Manitoba
This is the first thing desired by the Fargo
people and by the Fargo & st. Louis COM
pany. It is not now planned to do any
work south of Ortonville this season, but
the officers of the company propose to go
over the country as far south as Flandrau
to learn the lay of the land and the dispo-
sition of citizens. The mention OF Orton
vile and Flandrau as points to be made
by the line further indicate the close rela-
ton of the Milwaukee company to the
Fargo and st. Louis enterprise. With a
line from Fargo to Flandrau there would
be direct track from Sioux City to Win
nipeg.

Three Men Burned to Death.

7 ST. PAUL, MIMI, July 10.
A special from Cokato, MIMI, states that
ut two o'clock Saturday morning fire was
discovered in the hotel Office. There were
about twenty hotel Iaborers and other guests
in the building. Three railroad men were
burned to death. Another guest had his
leg broken by jumping from window.
The bodies of the burned men were so
charred that the three only weighed sixty
pounds. Two were identified as Shepard
and Willingham, laborers. Three-fourths
of the town was burned, principally the
business portion. The loss is 500, 900.
In the boarding house where the three
section men-Willingham, Kelly and Shep-
ard-burned to death the scene at the time
Of the burning was described by men who
escaped as awful. The first alarm was Civ
en- by q young man who shouted fire on tia
outside as Justify as his lungs would let him.
All but the three Who were burned got up at
once and rushcc downstairs pell-mell The
doors would not open, or they could,not
find them, in the black smoke, and the
flames were feeding on their scantily-
clad bodies before they succeeded In
efecting an exit which they finally did by
bursting hole through the side of the
house Several Of them were seriously
burned, and none had even decent modi-
cum OF clothes. Three of the worst
scOrched at once made their way to one Of the
holes, and there were instrumental in saw
Ing ten OF the occupants from fiery fate.
