THE PARK PROBLEM.

The park board made a move Thurs
day evening last. Commissioner ABB
ERIE introduced a resolution, and it
was unanimously adopted. This hap
pened once before. The last time some
one moved that the board take a drive,
and it was carried without a dissenting
vote. Since then there has been much
debating as to whether the commission
was capable of motion. Even those
who thought that it was have admitted
that the evidence was not entirely salts
factory, and that if it moved at all it
would be in the steady, deliberate gait
of the glaciers, which progress an inch
or so in the course of a decade Of cent
uries. The other side have scOfTed at
the credulity of those who would ac
cept one resolution a season as any
proof of power in this direction. The
question is now at rest, and it may be
taken as settled that the park board can
move.
commissioner ABERLE's resolution
looked to the acquisition of a park site
at Lake Phalen. This is a good idea, if
the proper ground can be secured, and
the other features of the system which
the GLOBE has advocated can also be
carried out. Minneapolis has the begin
ming of one of the most beautiful park
systems in the country, because it has
utilized the lakes in its neighb0rhOOd,
and st. Paul cannot do better than to
follow its example in this regard. Both
Lake Como and Lake Phalen are rea-
sOnably remote from the heart Of the
city to-day, but if the town grows as
we hope and expectiU will, that criticism
will be outlawed in few years. Both
Of these points ought to be common
property for all time, dedicated to pur-
poses of recreation and pleasure. Every
body seems to be reasonably agreed on
this matter.
The other plans of the board should be
directed to preserving some of the views
and vantage grounds on the river bank
from presumption and occupation by
private owners. The Indian mounds
surely ought to belong to the city, be-
cause of their associations and the look
out. If there are funds enough safely
available, similar sites further up the
river would also be desirable, but these
could be postponed to some future time.
But there should be a boulevard alOn g
the Mississippi, both above and below
Summit avenue, as far as the high
ground extends. This might be only
a couple of hundred feet in width,
equipped with a substantial roadway
and handsomely adorned with grasses
and strawberries in such arrangement
and profusion as good taste will sug-
gest. A scheme of this sort would
serve a hundred good ends. 1t would
be park in itself, because it would in
clude the river sweeping by and all the
beautiful prospects now inaccessible;
and it would supply the city with what
it seriously lacks. driving and riding
ground in the right direction, which
every one bent on an outing would use,
and where one could meet his friends Of
the same mind as himself. If the park
! board passes another resolution in the
course of the year. it is to be hoped
that it will have something to Go with
the realization of this idea.

MONEY GALORE /!

With the great crop now
being harvested will come a
great abundance Of money
TO the Northwest. This al
ways means speculation, and
there is nothing of which our
people are so fond of as spec
ulating in real estate. With
St. Paul and Minneapolis
growing at their presentrate
our real estate is the best
speculation in the country,
and people are finding this
out. After our last boom
many people here and some
elsewhere thought it was the
end Of real estate ppoflts,and
because real estate was dull
for a time that the city was
gone to the bad. But it has
really done better than ever
before. Outsiders have found
this out, and some few peO-
pie here know it. The fool
killer has been around this
year and scared the eroakerS
away, and this fact. with our
great crops, has started
things on a new boom. Visit
the factories, the wholesale,
merchants, or the retailers
and keep your eyes open, and
you will see this for your
self. Activity in real estate
will follow this, and it has,
in fact, already begun. For
a while you will not notice
it. But look back a year
from now and y gu will see
the difference. In a growing
city real estate booms are
like waves in a rising food.
One comes and reeedes, and
each one thatfolloWs goes far
Their than the one before. The
purchases that are being made
showth the wave is COM
ing again. So buy now and
you get the benefit. II you
want a home buy now and
get the benefit Of low prices.
If you want an investment
or a speculation, by all means
buy now.
We are now Offering prop
erty at ridieulously low
prices, just to keep the ball
rolling. But we shall raise
them soon. Come and buy
now at your own price. If
you wait you will have to
pay our price, and then you
will want TO be kicked by long-eared
quadrupad, and will call on yourself to
do the Job. We have the best property
in South ST Paul, the great manu- act
urinq place of the present and future,
and will sell lots worth S500tO $1,000
for $3.50 to $500 to improVers.
We have also 200 acres of the very
best land for market gardens, conven-
iently located, which we will sell in
quantities to suit. We have good
property in all paris of the city, and
scme specially fine business property.

Won MOLTKE's BOOK.
1t Is a Disappointment in Some
Respects.

BERLIN, Aug. 22.-Military men are
disappointed that Count Won Moltke,
in his history, makes no revelations in
regard to the alleged disagreement with
Gen. Won SteinmetZ. He confines
himself to intimating that the bat
tie of Spicheren was not fought
in accordance with instructions from
headquarters, and only explains the re-
call of Stenmetz by reference to a
new formation of the Amy. His in
diligence toward the mistakes of both
German and French generals excites
much comment. 1t is also remarked
that throughout the book there is not a
single reference to Germany's domestic
policy; no mention being made even of
Williams proclamation as emperor at
Versailles.

Turkish Dealers in Flesh and
Blood Buy the Girls in

A Franco = Russian Alliance
Has a Dangerous Look
for Britain.
England's Manipur Captives
Will Ce in No Danger of
Escaping.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-The stories of mis-
cry received from Russia are almost
Incredible. In Bessarabia peasants are
actually offering their children for sale
in order to buy food, and dealers at
Constantinople, hearing of this, have
purchased through agents in the Rus
sian villages considerable number of
female children. Many deaths have
been caused through famine, and fam
lilies may be found actually per-
ishing from hunger and huddled
together in their common misery.
The stewards of crown lands and
forests have been instructed to allow
the peasantry to enjoy free pasture and
freely to gather mushrooms, which are
largely consumed among the lower
classes of Russians, and to gather wild
fruits in the forests and woods of the
state. This, however. does not answer
the demand for substantial food. The
famine cripples all the finances of Rus
STA, and it is believed that for this rea-
son there will be no war for many
months. The collection of state and
local taxes in at Leaf twenty provinces
will fall considerably below the usual
amount.
Hundreds Starving.
Besides, large sums are required to
prevent whole populations from perish
ing of starvation. The government au-
thOrities, being now aroused. are exert
ing themselves with energy, and the
distribution of relief is going ON as rap
IDLY as possible. When a quantity of
grain reached Marippol, in the province
of Yekatarinoslav, on Tuesday last, the
people were so weak with want they
were hardly able to come and get their
portions. They gathered near the
place of distribution, present
ing a pitiful spectacle with their
wan faces and wasted forms.
A force of police was present to- pre-
serve order. but, instead. the police had,
in several instances to keep the appli-
cants from falling through sheer hun
ger and weakness. Nor IS the misery
confined to the lowest classes. Among
the applicants at Marinpol were noble
men and tradeSmen, the latter ruined
in business through loss of custom on
account of famine, and the former de-
prlved of the margin between their
debts and their income, on which they
had depended. The prohibition of the
export of rye was none too soon, if the
more frightful results of famine were
to be aVerted.

MILWAUKEE has an orthodox clergy
man, a Congregationalist, who stated in
a sermon last Sunday that the drowning
in a recent party of Sunday boat riders
might have happened just as we'll on
Monday or any other day. He even as
serted that the Christian who goes
buggy riding on Sunday has no right to
criticise the other parties who take
their ride on the water. Tfen, too, he
had good words for the young man who
lost his life trying to save the Sunday
boat riders. Perhaps he does not con-
sign all the bicycle riders to the devil,
even.

Grain ConfiscatiOn - Foreigners

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. %. The
Bourse Gazette to-day declares that the
Russian government has ordered the
customs officials to confiscate all grain
intended for export which is found to
be mixed with more than per cent of
rye. The Novoe Vremya declares that
the council of the empire is at present
discussing bill forbidding foreigners
to reside outside of towns or to pur-
chase or lease real estate IN the country
in some of the provinces adjoining
Austria. This law, it is said, will be
retrospective. Foreigners who. under
this law, are turned out of their pos
sessions and who desire to return to
their native land will be assisted to do
so by the Russian government.

an interview, estimated the payment
for wheat at e2O,OOO,00O. He urges that
such a scarcity of gold has frequently
happened and may endure, but the pub
lie has no cause for alarm. The bank
has seldom been so tionrishing. An
other bank official, when questioned in

um, replied that money changers, learn
Ing that the bank was holding gold, col
lected all they could by offering small
premium in the hope of reaping a profit

A TRIPLE TRAGEDY.

A Wealthy stockman at Leigh. Neb., Kills
His Wife, an Employe, and Then Cuts
HIS Throat.
LEIGH, Neb., Feb. 21.-The entire
community was aroused Friday over q
bloody tragedy in the family of William
McCubbin, wealthy stockman,
which resulted in the husband blow
ing his wifc's brains out, shooting
his hired man, Frank Yots, to death
and cutting his own throat. The crime
was committed as the result Of q vague
rumor that Yots was too intimate
with Mrs. McCubbin. After the
double murder McCubbin called
his little 5-year-old daughter, who
had witnessed the affair, and giving
her his pocket-book and keys told her
to go and live with her grandmother,
as she would never see papa and MAN.
ma again. When the frightened child
departed the frenzied man seized q
butcher knife and nearly severed
his head from the body. The
murderer's corpse was found an
hour later lying across those Of
his victims who had fallen on the floor.
A shotgun and revolver were used to
do the bloody work. The gun
charge tore the wife's face to pieces,
and the five revolver shots were fred
into the body Of the hired man. Yots
was an ignorant fellow. and the
suspicious entertained by the hus-
band concerning his wife's infidelity
were considered in the county as en-
tirely ungrounded. McCubbin was =
prominent Republican and . leader in
all county affairs.
