OFF FOR CAMP.
Minneapolis Soldier. Boys Star
for Lake CITY.

Minneapolis Soldier Boys Start
for Lake City.
But few of the good citizens of Min
neapolis who live in the vicinity of the
armory, at Eighth street and First ave-
nue. south, slept very much last night.
The soldier boys were getting ready for
camp, and they disturbed the neighbor-
hood as only militiamen can. But
there was no complaint. The citizens,
the soldiers, and when the order came
about 6 a. m. to .sfall inn there
was goodly crowd of spectators
to see them off. Long before that time
Eighth street in front of the armOry
building was alive with warlike prepar-
ations. Militiamen in fatigue uniforms
were hurrying hither and thither in the
hustle of preparations for camp life.
Great supply wagons with fifth wheel
dashed on behind to serve in case of
emergency filled the streets, and there
was hurrying in hot haste everywhere.
A start was made at a. m. by portion
of the three Minneapolis companies, A,
B and |, but many OF the militiamen
could not get away promptly, and fol-
lowed on later trains. Company A ex-
poets to>have from thirty-five to forty
men in camp. Lieut.. Fred Ames will
be in command part of the time. and
Capt. Amory the remainder. Company
B will have twenty-five or thirty men
under Capt. King, and Company about
the same number under Capt. Waters.
The boys made creditable display.and
although not as tanned as they will be
when they return they looked like
soldiers.

HARMONY'S FRIEND.

the convention transacting it's business
merely as matter of form. Everything
had been cut and dried at meeting of
some OF the select managers Monday
night. Uncle Loren Fletcher, who was
sufficiently anti-Merriam and anti-St.
Paul to suit the most fastidious, was
elected chairman, as per schedule. He
said he had not expected to be present,
owing to sickness. The invalid, how
ever, without any assistance, managed
to read little speech he had written
out day or so in advance, which
sounded very much like an Evening
Tribune editorial on the census war. A
committee was appointed on Gre
dentials that managed to get through
its work in an hour. and. in accordance
with prearranged plan, the chair was
allowed to'appoint committee to NOM
mate delegates to the state convention,
an amendment to leave the selection to
the respective wards and towns being
voted down and deftly disposed of by
moving the previous question, which
cut off any debate. The delegation, be-
fore it was selected, was instructed to
vote as a unit at the state convention,
SO that if any one objected to being
gagged and bound like an original pack
age he wasn't put on the delegation
that was all there was to that. No
wonder Uncle Loren Fletcher smiled
with the cordially of meat ak
at the close of the convention, and re-
marked that it was the most harmoni-
GUS convention he ever saw. Not Mer-
RAM man peeped-Sam Hill even al
lowed the angular and dyspeptic A. Ell.
Hall to roast him indirectly, and Dave
Clough was the only man who init
mated that he had heard a man named
Merriam from st. Paul was trying to
get the nomination for governor; and
the nearest he came to making an out
and out declaration to that effect was
to tell a man during recess that the
"boyS were making mistake if they
carried the census war into the cleo
ton; the country wouldn't stand it,"
He ventured this much. but he said 1t
in whisper.
1t only took about six men to transact
the work of the convention outside of
voting on mOtions-Uncle Loren Fetch
er, who entertained motions: A. FL.
Hall. who made most of them: some
body in back seat who seconded them {;
Doc Perkins, of Excelsior, to represent
the country. and Hevry j. Gjertsen to
make it appear that "our friends, the
Scandinavians," had man on deck.
1t was indeed very harmonious,

Fire Does $4,000 Damage in a
Furniture Factory.
Glessner & Washburn's furniture fac
tory and undertaking establishment, at
316 Central avenue, was badly damaged
by fire yesterday morning. The loss is
estimated at $4,000, which is fully coy
cred by insurance. The fire originated
in the basement, near the furnace, and
in less than five minutes the flames had
assembled to the third floor and burst
through the roof. c. W. Hughes and
John Murrick, who were employed in
the factory, had narrow escape,
When the flames we're first discovered
each seized a pail of water and de-
scended to the basement and attempted
to extinguish the flames. Owing to the
inflammable condition of the contents,
before they realized their position they
were surrounded by the flames, and all
escape except through small window
was cut off. Half suffocated the men
managed to creep through and were
carried into house near by, where they
were resuscitated. The fire department
did not respond as promptly as it gen.
orally does, and considerable damage
was done by water. The loss on the
building is estimated at $1,000 and on
the stock $4,000.

Practically settle the correctness

practically settle the correctness
of the theory that Hennepin county has
entered into an alliance for the purpose
OF securing the nomination of Knute
Nelson, and that yesterdays convention
was engineered in his interest. 1t is
known that Scandinavian would-be
politician OF some nOt0riety last week
visited Alexandra and had confer
ence with Nelson, and it is said the
little Norwegian agreed to run pro-
vided Hennepin would back him. Yes
terday's developments would certainly
indicate that this part of the bar
gain has been carried out. Doc
Perkins references to the necessity OF
the delegates meeting and posting"
themselves as to what the farmers want.
The insistance of the unit rule, and
the refusal to even risk the makeup of
the delegation to the choice of the wards,
the only fair way of doing business,
all points to this. But there is another
circumstance quite as full of mean
ing. When the convention was in
session shadow glided into the hall.
The shadow had the bushy eyebrows
and chin whisk ers of Charles A. Gill
man, the ex-lieutenant governor from st.
Cloud and Nelson's right bower. From
last evening there is little doubt that
the consummation so devoutly wished
has been attained. 1t will not be sur
prising if the name of Knute Nelson
as an out-and-out candidate for
governor and opposed to Mer-
riam may be sprung at once,
possibly to-day through the accepted
mouthpieces. although there may be
some delay until negotiations with
some of the outside counties that Gill
man and others have been patching up,
are carried out.
A significant fact In connection with
this view of the result of yesterdays
convention is that at the meeting
of the delegates held at the Union
league a resolution was passed
pledging that Hennepin will ask for no
state office. This plainly means any
thing to down Merriam.
Last evening there was meeting of
the executive committee of the delega-
ton, consisting of j. T. Wyman, chair
man; A. H. Hall, secretary tex-oficio);
W. 81. Eustus, D. F. Morgan, Robert
Pratt. Nicolay Grevstad. j. W. Stone,
John Goodnow and G. P. Lowell. just
what was done can only be conjectured,
but furtherance of the scheme to nomi-
nate Nelson is generally thought to be
the purpose.

He Reads Few Carefully Pre-

He Reads a Few Carefully Pre-
pared Impromptu Remarks.
Mr.. Fletcher remarked when the APP
plause subsidized that the honor had
been unexpectedly thrust upon him.
He had not expected to be present on
account of sickness, and hoped he would
be borne with. Saying this, he pulled
sheet of paper from his pocket, and
began to read in faltering way which
made it seem as though somebody else
had prepared his few impromptu re-
marks, and that he had not looked the
manuscript over carefully so as to be
able to read it at first sight.
81 am greatly honored by being
chosen to preside over your delibera-
tions, and beg to thank you for this
mark Of your respect and confidence.
Notwithstanding an unneighborly treat
ment of Minneapolis by its unneigh-
borly neighbor down the river.
we seem to have survived the
ill-usage, and if this convention
is a proper criterion to judge by,
we are still in pretty healthy condition
Indeed think it safe to conclude that
we are big enough and sensible enough
and wise emo ugh to paddle our own ca
of independence will not hurt us, either
in our own or other peoples estimation.
But whatever happens, for veal or woe,
propose to stand in with you now and
hereafter for the welfare of this great
queen city of the Northwest.
@"But in our zeal for Minneapolis, and
in our righteous indignation at and re-
sentiment Of the sleuth hound tactics
and methods adopted by our enemies to
humiliate us before the country, in re-
gard to our census matters, we must
not forget our duties to the state as cit
liens in our deliberations to-day, nor
permit ourselves to be led into doing
that which would not meet the approval
of our judgment in our coolest moments,
Oh in future years.
"These are times which call for our
best judgment and best ability-as Re-
pubiicanS we must do that which will
subserve the interests of our party. The
motto. Our party, right or wrong is
no longer nailed to the masthead of the
Republican party. In order to deserve
the confidence of the people, the party
muss be right. We cannot sanction i'm
proper methods in politics any more
than in business. Let the influence of the
great county of Hennepin be exerted in
the coming state convention, not to
punish this or that man, but to estab-
fish firm as the granite hills the princi-
pies of honesty and honor in party poll
tics. trust every delegate will fully
realize the responsibility that rests upon
himself to-day"
Owing to the fact that the greater
part of the "extemporaneous address"
was read in an almost inaudible tone, it
could not be heard by the majority of
those present. and there was very little
applause as he finished.

ing.
The convention was held at Norman
ma hall on Third street south, far from
the business center of the city-perhapS
that peaceful surroundings could con-
tribute to the intense harmony that was
to prevail, but more likely as little
ruse that didn't cost anything to please
the Scandinavians. The delegates APP
proximating in number about 300 occu-
pied the main body of the hall, flanked
by few spectators on either side and
in the gallery. The convention was
not representative body, there being
noticeable absence of prominent Re-
publicans, either as spectators or dele
gates. which meant something, for the
average Republican always attends the
convention and basks in the sun of mu-
tual admiration. Doubtless they I'M

THE HENNEPIN BOULEVARD
Cars Can Run Provided the Privi-
lege Is Paid For.

81
There is but little doubt that an cleo
trio line will be built on what is now
the Hennepin boulevard. 1t is said
that the park board is more than will
ing to allow that part of Hennepin ave-
nue. which, since 1884, has been under
it's control, to revert back as one of the
streets of the Eighth ward. In fact,
Secretary Nye says that it never has
been anything else, for no attempt has
ever been made to keep heavy teams off
it,and its maintenance has been quite an
item of expense. Since November,
1884, it has cost the park board over
$4,000 to keep control of the Doule-
ward, and while it is the most direct
route to the lakes, the fact that the
far the most desirable for pleasure has
detracted very much from Hennepin as
a pleasure drive. The petition for per-
mission to lay the electric line, as well
as the remonstrance against it, are now
in the hands of special committee of
the board, and while there is no doubt
majority of the: members are in
favor of the scheme many of
low iOwA the ~ street railway TsH company ny!
to use the boulevard and at the same
time make the park board pay for keep
it in a safe and proper condition for
travel. One proposition that will prob
ably be made will require the street
railway company to divide their re-
ceipts with the park board. In Balti-
more, it is said, the street car companies
using the park roads are required to do
this. The fare is five cents for each
passenger carried. Of this amount the
company gets four cents and one cent is
reserved for park purposes. Whether
the railroad company will accept this
| proposition or not is not known, but it
Els evident that the Hennepin avenue
route is considerably shorter than the
| one now in use and it naturally follows
| that the cost to the company in carrying
T q passenger is less over shorter route
than it is over the longer.
T. One scheme which has received the
|, sanction of President Loring is to re-
|, move two of the four rows of trees
which were planted FIVE years ago, and
I take off eight feet from each side of the
/ present road. Then there would be a
driveway twenty-five feet wide. ex-
elusive of the space taken up by the
tracks on each side of the street. The
htrees removed from each side could be
planted in the center of the street, and
fsthiS space when sodded would preserve
| the feature of parkway. But then
the expense of maintenance comes in
again, and the company will be asked
to contribute towards at least a
portion of the expense. Pro-
vided this plan is agreed upon it is very
likely that some modification of the
plan now in vogue in Philadelphia and
Worcester, Mass, will be adopted. In
those cities the companies using the
streets are required to keep them in Or
der without any expense for paving to
that the Minneapolis Street Railroad
company will agree to that plan, but
some of the members of the park board
believe that some arrangement can be
made whereby the company will be
compelled to pay just portion of the
expense of keeping the roadway in good
order.

The First Annual Outing Of the
Junior Branch.

The First Annual Outing Of the
Junior Branch.
The first annual picnic of the junior
department of the Minneapolis Y. NJ. c.
A. was held at Cedar lake yesterday.
About forty boys. whose ages range
from twelve to fourteen years. took part
in the games. A programme of eight
events had been arranged, and suitable
prizes were distributed to the winners
of each. An event not generally found
upon the general pr ogrammes OF sports,
but one which created much amuse-
ment, was ''shoe race" Ten boys
took off their shoes and threw them
in a pile. Then they were thor
oughly mixed up. and the boys
had to run ten yards to the pile, find
their own shoes, put them on and lace
or button Them, and then run ten yards
to the finish line, the one crossing the
line first to be declared the winner.
The first event was a 100-yardS dash;
first prize silver cup and second prize
a box of paper. Ernest Read won, with
Campbell Macarthur second. Time. IA
sec. A base ball throwing contest was
won by Fred Holmes, who received
league ball, and Ed Stark, second, an
amateur base ball. Ernest Read won
the running broad jump, covering
twelve feet two inches, and was
awarded fishing rod. Harry Teel was
second and received watch chain. Fred
Holmes cleared feet II inches and was
awarded the first prize for the standing
broad Jump, harmonica. while George
Lauterdale, who was second, received
a necktie. The fifty yards dash for
boys under fourteen was won by Camp
bell Macarthur In ~ seconds, with
Samuel Sweitzer second. The first
prize was pair OF tennis shoes and the
second book. The ''shoe race" was
won by Howard Read, the smallest lad
in the party, and William Kinsell was
second. The prizes were 'Boys' Use.
full Pastimes" and necktie. For the
22O yards dash the prizes were picnic
set and silk shirt. Ben Weld won the
first prize and Ernest Read the second;
time, 81 seconds. There were five en-
tries tor the fifty yards swimming race.
and as the prizes were an air rifle and
a watch charm the boys each made
hard struggle to win. John Small fin
ished first and Fred Holmes second.
Nothing happened during the day to in
terfere with the pleasure of the lads,
and they returned to the city early in
the evening, thoroughly pleased with
their days outing.l
