Charming Day Indeed and HappiIy En-
i0yed 6y Everyone.
Escaping the heat, dirt and consequent
distress and your disgust of and for the,
city, after a week of turmoil and perhaps
trouble, it is great and inestimable boon
to be enabled to go out and find place
like the beautiful and charming Lake
Minnetonka where one can be free for
time from care and breathe into the lungs
Heavens own free and undefiled air.
Such evidently must have been the feelings
of those who boarded the various trains,
railroad and motor, at st. Paul and
Minneapolis, and after a short ride
found themselves at the shores of this most
inviting body of water. The morning was
extremely hot and sultry, the cars were
close and uncomfortable, but all was for
gotten amid the blowing of the bracing
and refreshing breezes, which found full
and free scope, and which were more than
doubly appreciated by the sweltering
hundreds of pleasure seekers as they board
ed the steamers to sail the blue waters
DER, or sought other equally attractive and
inviting retreats. The beauty and the
peautIes of lake Minnetonka have heen
eXtoIled again and again, and yet it seems
the reader never tires of peruslng whatev-
or Is or may be said regarding it, while to
the writer each recarring visit unfolds and
exhibits other features adding still more
to its well extended fame. 1t is vertically
the Saratoga Of the west unbounded in its
promises for the future, and will as time
passes, rival that great and most popular
of the eastern resorts.
The VI sitor 10 the lake need not feel
anxiety a to hotel accommodations. The
Lafayette, Lake Park, st. Louis and Ex-
celsior are each and every one complete in
all their appointments and with
a combined capacity sufficient to
receive and handsomely entertain several
thousand people. Just now, however, they
are not crowded, indeed, in and about
them there prevails a silence that is al
II ost funeral, but they are all Ipossess d
and content themselves with the idea,
bound, no doubt, to end in fulilment, that
better times are ahead. The great heat
and density Of the atmosphere" which has
existed for the past few days must neces-
sarily change matters and from now on
a rapid filling up of the empty places will
occur and for the next lree or four months
life at the lake will he in full blast and tine
pleasures and enjoyments beyond meas
ure.
The completed cottages are now about
all occupied and those in process of cree
ton are being rapidly hurried forward to
the finish that their owners may the soon
er reap the benefit which a summers resi-
dence at the lake is sure to afford. Seeing
how we'll they appear to enjoy their rural
retreat, the man or woman who is not able
to escape the city's heat,
and also partake constantly of the
delightfully."- cool and refreshing air always
here present, is almost tempted to envy
his more fortunate neighbor. Such inc
qualities, however, it seems, must exist; we
cannot all be rich alike and it would not
do if all were poor, else the beautiful Lake
Minnetonka with all It's charming sur
roundings would not, any more than few
years ago, present as it does now so many
and so delightful attractions which even
the poorest may, as to-day, come, see,
enjoy and appreciate at very small out
lay of money receiving in return many
hours of health giving exercise and
wholly Unalloyed pleasure. Really, we
are proud of Lake Minnetonka, White
Bear Lake, Lakes Como and Calhoun and
all the brother and sister lakes so close to
the confines of our cities, and we hope to
live to be enabled to see them each and
every one when they have about reached
if they ever do the projections to which
they are capable of being brought.

At the Lake Park hotel your representa-
tive had the pleasure of meeting 10. O..
Julian, an old time Indiana friend, former
l y with the Grand hotel, Indianapolis,
In 10 &c in I,a Of
fellows, and his presence, to Indiana men
especially, of his acquaintance, will be a
pleasure indeed. MIR. Young, the steward,
formerly OF the Emery, Cincinnati, is also
the right man in the right place, and will
no doubt so cater to the wants of the
patrons of the hotel as to cause them to be
slow in going away, and always full Of
anxiety to return.
Rumor that the LYndale hotel, the mag
nifcent structure at Lake Calhoun, Just
recently furnished and opened, was burned
to the ground, at noon, reached US at 4
O'Clock, creating, for a time, the greatest
excitement, and from all sides came ex-
pressiOns of deepest regret over the sad
occurrence. Fortunately, however, the
rumor turned ont to be only rumor, the
story originating from the fact that the
gas house had burned. Rumor does
fly, but then. as in this
case, 'Alrs weel that ends WE'LL

and loving their occupation, should always
and ever present the very best side of their
best nature to the public, having much pa

calling deal with various classes of people,
no two alike in character, feeling or taste,

degree sometimes almost beyond endur-

j. E. Heiser, assistant cashier of the
Second National bank of Hamilton, Ohio,
and his sister, Miss Miller, were VII ors 1T
the lake, and expressed their wonder and
establishment, just the same, as everybody
else on first view over the beautiful
waters, the enchanting scenery and the
charming ride.
Among the features just to be added to
the Lake Park hotel, is an
