MAHTOMEDI FATHERS
Present Picturesque But Purely
Natural ppearance.


The Chautauquans are by no means
bowling to the shrine of learning en-
tirely, but find amusement in various
sports, such as boating, fishing, ham,
mock doZing,n ovel reading and swim
ming. The latter has become the
sole enjoyment of great many.
Girls, women. men and children who
have never before been patrons of the
lake bath have taken to it with lake
geance, and in some cases have over
stepped the bounds of propriety, if not
of decency. The costumes are of all
descriptions, from the fancy colored
dress, which would be seen at
made garment which has reached
its last use in being turned
into a bathing suit. The bath at
Mahtomedi is taken at all hours of the
day. The outside wrapper generally
worn is simply gOSSamer, and, as it is
thrown aside, the white limbs are dis
played in all their natural beauty. As
the evening shades fall, costumes of
more scanty description and of less
artistic beauty are worn. A few
of the sterner sex are bold
savage state, much to the diSpleasure of
the great number of the refined guests
OF st. Paul, Minneapolis and other sur
rounding towns.
The services yesterday consisted of
routine work. Leon III. Vincent at II

ica's poet, II. w. Longfellow, and

MUDDLED MANAGERS
Have to Stop Rehearsals and Go
to Court.


A. NJ. Deinhardt and A. G. Esklund
Were arrested yesterday at the instiga-
tion of a. Oppenheimer, who charged
them with procuring goods under false
pretenses. 1t seems that there was an
error in othe matter. Messrs. DEM
hardt and Esklund are preparing to put
a burlesque opera troupe on the road
and are now conducting re-
hearsals for it. Mr.. Esklund had
all account at the Bank of
Minnesota. The account was practi-
cally drawn out when check was given
to A. Oppenheimer for $50. The check
was, consequently, not honored when
presented for payment, and the arrests
followed. When the matter was ex-
planned to the court Misses Deinhardt
and Ecklund were released Oh their own
recogniZance. The check, as well as
two other ones, were paid, and. the case
will be dismissed.

his arrival wealthy citizen was robbed

OffenSe. The case at first was
not strong against the accused,
but WaldrOp worked hard and secured
conviction. Davis was sentenced tn
seven years in the penitentiary, and
when the sentence was read, lie turned
to Waldrop and said: 81 swear to God,
II ever live to get out, I'll kill you.o
NO attention was paid to this threat and
Davis was conveyed to Chester. where
he served his term and was

good time rule. Saturday

The Grew Still Missing.

PHILADELPHIA. April at is feared
that the missing crew of the ship John
T. Berry, which was burned off the Aus
tralian coast Jan. 9, while bound from
Philadelphia to Japan, have met the
same fate as their unlucky craft. Not
withstanding the great efforts made by
the Australian government at the in
stance of the United States consul at
Sidney, not the slightest trace of any of
the missing crew has been discovered.
An English war ship has just returned
to Sidney from Lord Howe's island, one
of the Society group in latitude 1888
south, longitude 154.21 west, from the
search, which was without success, and
the commander thinks that further ef-
forts in that direction would be useless.
The hull of the vessel was seen several
days after the fire by merchant vessels
in latitude 81, longitude 1890. 1t was

The Tariff Bill Reported.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Mr. Mills, of
Texas, chairman of the committee on
ways and means, reported the Mills
tariff bill, and it was referred to the
committee of the whole. Mr.. McKin-
ley, of Ohio, submitted the minority re-
port, which was ordered printed. Mr..
Mcmillan, of Tennessee, on behalf of
the committee on ways and means, an
nounced that the committee would seek
to have the house consider the tariff
bill on two weeks from tomorrow. The
committee had determined on this late
day for the purpose of enabling the ap-
preparations committee to get its work
forward and into the senate as far as
might be: and he trusted that by that
time the business would have been so
far disposed of that the tariff bill could

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Secretary
Fairchild to-day sent to Speaker Car
Isle his response to the resolution OF
inquiry adopted by the house about two
months ago. Making inquiry about the
purchase of bonds last autumn by the
government, the rates paid, and why
the policy of purchasing bonds with
surplus money had ceased, and the pol
icy of depositing public funds in large
number of National banks had been
substituted in its place, and whether
this new policy has had the effect of in
creasing or diminishing the circulation
of National bank notes. The secretary,
in his reply, says the policy of purchas-
ing bonds was changed because the
sinking fund requirements for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1888, had been met
by bond purchases in the lat
ter part of September, 1887, and
there was, in the judgment of
the department no undoubted Lawful:
power except an increase of deposits i'll
national bank repositories to avert dan
gers which threaten the country because
taxation in excess of the needs of the
government was rapidly taking the cir
culating medium from the channels OF
business and locking itup in the vaults
of the treasury. Secretary Fairchild
says that the increased percentage OF
deposits allowed upon security OF the
bonds deposited did have the effect OF
somewhat diminishing the circulation
of national bank notes, but to what ex-
tent it is not possible to more than con-
lecture; but probably not more than
S4,00O,OOO or $5,OO0,0OO. On the
other hand, if this policy had not been
adopted, and the money had been al
lowed to accumulate in the treasury, or
if it had been used to purchase bonds,
probably the high rates for money
in the one case, or the
high prices of bonds in the other,
would have induced much larger sur
render of bank circulation. In his judg-
ment the increase of the deposits re-
suited in a large increase in the money
supply available for the business Of the
country for the time being, and averted
serious financial distress, and neither
increased nor diminished permanently
the circulating medium of the country.
Secretary Fairchild in concluding his
letter says: "Permit me to add that by
the use of all lawful powers and expe-
dients this department during the past
year has earnestly and anXiously striven
to avert dangers and difficulties which
cannot be cured or for long prevented
from working great harm, no matter
what devices are attempted, unless the
revenues of the government are SO re-
duced as nearly to equalize the ordinary
and necessary expenditures"

YANKToN, Dak., April 2.-The ice in
the Missouri gorged at Elk Point yester-
day and to-day the people in portion of
Elk Point are stepping from the second
story windows of their houses into boats
to be taken to places where it is not so
wet. The river overfowed it's banks
below Elk Point yesterday forenoon
and before dark it had covered the en-
tire bottom as far up the river as Bur-
bank. All through the night it con-
tinued rising, and to-day the people of
that burg are moving out in boats, and
excitement prevails, although no lives
had been lost and no damage had re-
suited from floating ice at a late hour
tonight. This rise in the river has
stopped all railway operations between
Yankton and Sioux City over the Mil
waukee road. and two trains are tied up
in this city. About eight miles of
track is gone between Elk Point
and Sioux City and there is
danger that more damage will be done.
The telegraph wires between Elk Point
and Sioux City are down, and no COM
munication by wire from Sioux City as
to the state of the river at that point is
available. The gorge now existing near
Elk Point is thought to be located III a
position similar to that of 1881, but the
fact that the ice which will descend
from up the river is very much decreased
precludes the possibility of so extended

Two Bows Drowned.

DETROIT, Mich, April 2.-It has been
learned that double drowning occurred
Friday afternoon on Lake st. Clair. The
victims were two boys about twelve
years of age, named Demarra and Gra-
vier. Their fathers farms adjoin each
other, and trouble over the boundary
line has led to numerous disputes. Fri
day the two boys, with several companp
ions, were going home from school, and
walked on the ice which still fringes the
lake front. The boundary line question
came up, the boys quarreled as they had
often done before, and after clinching
they fell together and rolled upon a
place where the ice was rotten and gave
way. Both lads sank and were not again
seen. Their companions ran to the shore
screaming for help, but nothing could
be done, and at last accounts the bodies
had not been recovered.
