A Piucky Fire Laddie.

A very nervy rescue was accom-
plished yesterday evening by John L.
Doty, pipeman of No. 3 Engine COM
pany. A large team of horses drawing
light buggy came dashing down Oak
street, evidently running away. A lady,
who was subsequently ascertained to
be Mrs. Hardy, was in the buggy in a
semi-fainting condition. AS the rum
away team reached Ramsey street,
Pipeman Doty sized UP the situation at
a glance and rushing for the horses
heads seized the bride of the one near
est to him. He hung on for about half
a block, sometimes on his feet. some
times Off, but never released his
hold upon the bride. At last
he brought the horses down upon their
knees and stopped the rig. By
this time Mrs. Hardy was hanging over
the seat almost unconscious with fright.
A crowd of about 1000 people gathered,
but their curiosity was not long graft
fed. for another buggy drove up in a
minute or two. one of whom got into
the runaway buggy, and transferred
the lady into the other. Then both
drove rapidly off without so much as
thanking Mr.. Doty, who had saved the
life of Mrs, Hardy. What's the matter
with st. Paul firemen? They're all
right!

Into a Sea Of Canvas.

A young man giving his name as
James McAlpin caused sensation at
the cyclorama yesterday. He had been
listening to the lecture and watching
the thrilling scene of the conflict be-
tween the Monitor and Merrimac for
some time, when suddenly he drew
from his pocket the photograph of a
young and charming damsel. gazed at it
a minute, imprinted several passionate
kisses OH it, and, climbing over the rail-
ing, hurled himself into the imaginary
depths of the James river. Warren H.
Mead, an athletic lawyer, sized the situ-
alton up in an instant, and seized the
foot of the young man just in time to
prevent disastrous accident. Mr..
Mead did not release his hold until he
and several bystanders had succeeded
in hauling the struggling Individual up.
Some friends took him away, but the
impression was left upon all present
that the would-be suicide was crazy or

Fourth Of July celebration. He will

''What, l am afraid Of" added Mr..
Clawson, sis the effect of this weather
on the large amount of frosted wheat
sOwn In Dakota. The farmers had
nothing else to SOW, and it was coming
along very we'll; but frosted wheat needs
the most favorable conditions for its
development. This drought is the very
worst thing that could have struck it,
and where the farmers were rejoicing a
few weeks ago at the early spring, they
are looking solemn and praying for rain
now. Last winter there was no snow
to speak of and consequently there is
no moisture in the ground to make rain.
The only thing that can bring rain will
be strong winds from some quarter
where there is moisture" Mr.. Ives re-
marked: ''There is absolutely no
change in the condition of the wheat
from what there was three weeks ago;
it is no further advanced, and the same
remark applies to garden stuff. Three
days hard rain would be worth millions
to the country"

The Court House Commission
Fails to Let the Foundation
Work.
The court house commission yester-
day attempted to let the stonework for
laying the foundation for the county
and city building. Most of the bids
were for furnishing the stone and doing
the work, and the board afterward at
tempted to limit the bids to doing the
work by moving to purchase the stone
from the Cook estate. The motion was
lost, however, and the matter is still
open. The bids received were:
For building foundation, using Min
neapolis blue limestone: Henry Downs,
S119,S52.52; Baxter IL Son. S144, $3.50;
B. Aronson. S121, 543.75; TrainOr Bros,

9OS.56; Ring & TObin, $131, SILT Bax-
ter & Son, $156,516.46; B. Aronson,
S133, 1893.
For building foundation with Kasota
stone: TralnOr Bros, $l43, 1922.
For building with Kettle River stone:
Henry Downs, $136, Isl; Ring & Tobin,
$146, 799.45.

S91, 6O5.96; Baxter Il Son, S105,000 B.
Aronston, $50. 296.25; Henry Downs,
1919 cents per yard.
A motion was made that the bid of the
Cook estate for furnishing Minneapolis
blue limestone be accepted. which, of
course, would confine the bids to simply
those offered for laying the foundations,
the board furnishing the stone. Com
missioner Erickson stated that the board
was morally bound to buy the stone
from the Cook estate. Commissioner E.
M. johnson did not think so. A vote
was taken, which stood:
Ayes = Bracket, Chowen, Clough,
Erickson, Swenson, Swift-6.
Nays-Comstock, johnson, Mareck,
Oswald.
AS it requires seven votes to author
ize contract the motion was declared
lost and the matter was left in this
shape, an adjournment being taken to
Saturday morning at 9 O'Clock.

yard for excavating for the cellar; for
