TRAGIC DROWNING.
Wilbur. Williams Finds Death in
Lake Of the Isles.

Wilbur. Williams Finds Death in
Lake Of the Isles.
A tragic drowning occurred last even
ing at Lake of the Isles. Wilbur w.
Williams found his grave beneath the
waters of that picturesque little lake.
For some time past he had been camp
ing in the grove near Kenwood station
together with his father, mother and
sister. Last evening Wilbur evinced
desire to 60 in bathing, and accordingly
went to the Lake of the Isles, where
his boat was. He pushed out into deep
water and amused himself by diving
from the boat. He tests his strength
and endurance in remaining under water
too much, and when he rose above the
water he did not have sufficient strength
to reach the boat, which mad drifted
away from him. He called for help, but
none came, and he sank never to rise
again. Patrolman Marthesen and Ser
geant Linehan are dragging for the
body. Wilbur Williams was nineteen
years old. He was employed as clerk
in the Office Of the 500 road. His father
is 5. D. Williams, of 1914 Sixth, street
southeast. @

SEEING 4 KING.

Youths Companion.
Emerson's saying-that boy is the
true democrat-was illustrated by the
was at Christiania, and made up his
mind that he would see the celebrated
Swedish king, Oscar. Accompanied by
another boy from the same ship, Jack
BranscOmbe, he walked to the palace,
and found it surrounded by moat that
looked impossible. But the boy. whose
perseverance and courage merit COM
mendation, however his assurance may
seem to deserve rebuke. would not be
baked. After some search he dlscOy-
cred under the meat narrow tunnel,
leading into the royal gardens.
The mouth of the tunnel was chOked
with rubbish, but the young sailors
made their way through, and into the
gardens. Here they were at once sur
rounded by guards, who could not I'M
derstand their explanation. but tried to
conceal them from the view of an APP
preaching party.
The party was the king and his re-
tinue. Seeing the disturbance. gentle
man stepped forward and asked what
was the matter. The Maine boy, acting
as spokesman-his companion was by
this time shaking with fear-answered
that they had come to see his majesty,
Oscar l. they were from Boston, and on
their return home would like to tell
their friends that they had been face to
face with the king.
We'll" answered the gentleman, in
perfect English. ''you have seen him. L
am the king" He gave each boy sew
eral coins as souvenirs of the visit.
Thirty years afterward tnat sailor lad,
George c. Perkins, had become gov
ernor of California. One day he was on
board pilot boat bound for Monterey
and noticed that one of the sailors was
cycling him intently.
''Who is the governor? What state
does he come f1om?" asked the sailor of
an officer.
''From Maine." was the reply.
81 thought knew him. You ask him
if he ever met with boy by the name
of Jack Branscombe, who served OH
board the Lena"
The governor at once came forward
and greeted his old shipmate. who,
thirty years before. had trembled in the
presence of royalty.

ANOTHER BOLD ROBBERY.
A Maiden Rock Farmer Held Up
in the Court House.

- ~
in the Court House.
= Another bold daylight robbery oc-
CURED yesterday morning. John Hal
yOrsen, of Maiden Rock, who has been
stopping at the Pauly house for the past
few days, was the victim. Mr.. Halvor-
sen went in search OF friend yesterday
morning, and being a stranger in the
city was not exactly sure of his bear
ings. He found himself in the vicinity
of the court house building, at the cor
ner of Fourth street and Third avenue
south, and being curious to see the in
terror, walked into the basement. He
was followed by two men. AS
soon as Halvorsen was out
men bounced upon him. One of the
men struck him blow in the stomach
while the other pummeled him on the
head and demanded his money. They
threatened to kill him unless he gave
them all he had. Not desiring to die,
Halvorsen turned over his pocketbOok,
containing $40 in cash and number of
valuable papers. He was then rendered
parting kick and allowed to go.
HalvorSen was SO confused he did not
find his way out of the building for
some time. When ne did the robbers
had disappeared, and the only thing left
him was to complain to the police. He
stated to the police authorities that one
of the men was over fifty years of age,
wore a beard and was dressed in the
uniform of an old soldier. The other
was apparently about thirty-five years
old.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.
1t May Find a Temporary Home
at $50 Hennepin

The clubhouse at $50 Hennepin ave-
nue., which has sailed under many names
within six years, and which is now
called the Hennepin Athletic club, may
experience change of heart. Col.John
Il. West has made an advantageous
proposition to the new Commercial and
Athletic club. The new club may con-
clude to accept the proposition, and get
atemporary home. at least. At $40 Hen
nepin the Commercial club will find a
well equipped gymnasium. what the
club wants very much at present.
AT comparatively nominal expense the
house can be furnished up and supplied
with billiard tables. Another offer has
been receiued OF the A. A Pond build
ing on First avenue south, next to the
postoffice. This is not so favorably
looked on, as it would cost more to fit it
up and there would be no gymnasium.
The directors have received two offers
from property owners to put up build
ings for its partial OF exclusive use.
One site offered is on Fifth street be-
tween Nicollet and Hennepin i and the
other Is OH Sixth street in similar
location.

MILLERs ARE KICKING.
They Don't Like Clausen's Pro-
posed Change in Wheat Grades.

= posed Change in Wheat Grades.
The grain men of Minneapolis, eSpe-
clally the millers, are kicking about the
change in the rules governing the in
spectiOn of wheat recommended by a.
e. Clausen. state grain inspector, in
letter to the railroad and warehouse
commission. Some of the grain men
would not consent to be quoted. they
refused on the ground that the grain in
Specton department car make things
very unpleasant for them if it chooses to.
Not SO c. A. Pillsbury. He said openly:
ITS the most foolish move / ever
heard of. The farmers will lose dollars
where they make cents by the change.
The price will simply be lowered to fit
the grade, and the man whose wheat is
No. northern under the present grade
would get better grading under new
rule. while the price of his wheat would
come down to fit the poorest quality
that would grade No. l northern. This
would be an injustice as anybody can
see. 1t is no doubt true that the wheat
of this years crop will make good flour,
put ii will take more of it to make
barrel of flour"
E. A. d. milford. E. B. Andrews.
James Etherington and p. o. Peterson
agreed substantially with Mr.. Pills
bury. In fact. all the grain men prefer
that grades be left as they are. L. l..
Greenleaf, president of the chamber of
commerce, said in his mild way:
Its an unfortunate thing to propose
to change the grades. l don't believe
it will do any good. 1t will be great
disadvantage to the shipping trade.
For instance, No. l northern in
Minneapolis might be No. 2
northern In Chicago, and it
would do away with benefits of an
established grade altogether. We would
have to send samples with every sale
instead. 1t will do considerable damage
to the trade of this city to have the re-
port go abroad that Minnesota has
changed the grade. 1t takes a long
time to educate the trade, and now that
the wheat men abroad know our grades,
1t would be folly to change them. On
the other hand, the farmer will not get
any more for his wheat; If it has Ger
tain value he will get it on sample"

Annie Johnson, the male impersona-
tor and female cowboy, was in the mu-
nicIpal court again yesterday, charged
with yagrancy. Gertie Peterson, an
other of the Johnson kind, was also
arraigned. The latter's husband was
present in court, and testified he could
do nothing with bis wife. She was be-
yond redemption. he Said, and he had
given up all hope. The female cowboy
swore she was living the life of a recluse
and ironing shirts in South Mipneapo-
lis laundry, but the judge had heard
the story before and declined to believe
her. He sentenced both women to the
Workhouse to serve ninety days.

The fact that the opossum is marsupial
does not seem 10 be common knowledge.
Anyway it was revealed To a man who
lives on Long Island in an odd manner not
long ago. He killed one Of the animals in
his garden with a gun and dragged the
carcass to the house. The hired man told
him that by taking it to the magistrate at
Pafchogue. some five miles distant, he
could get a bounty Of fifty cents, which
was offered by the county. The man did
not at the time have any occasion to 90 to
the town, so he offered the opossum TO a
neighbor who drove by on his way to Pat
chogue. This man didn't think that half
dollar would pay him for the trouble in
volved, so he declined the gift with thanks
That afternoon it occurred to the wife Of
the man who had killed the animal that
she would have to drive TO Patchogue to
make some purchases. She suggested
that her husband throw the body into the
bottom Of the buggy under the seat, as be
might as well make the fifty cents as not.
He did this and they drove 10 town to-
gether. After attending to their shopping
they stopped in front OF the magistrates
Office and the husband alighted. He went
behind the vehicle to take out the opos-
sum. when. 10 and behold he found e.glt
little ones beside the old animal
The mother had tucked them all into the
pouch under her breast at the sound Of
danger and they had remained snugly hid
den until shaken out b. the jolting Of the
buggy The amateur nimrod therefore
brought down s4.5O with his shot instead

Many OF Saakespeare's contemporary
poets must have had every advantage that
he had in practical experience Of the stage,
and an Of them had probably as familiar
an intercourse with the theater as he. But
what a difference between their manner of
constructing a play and hisl In all his
dramatic works his skill in this is more or
less apparent. In the best Of them it is
unrfyaled. From the first scene of them
he seems 10 have beheld as from a tower
the end OF all In Romeo and Juliet, " for
example, he had his story before him, and
he follows il closely enough. but how
naturally one scene is linked to the next
and one event leads to another.
If this play were meant toillustrate any
thing il would seem to be that our lives
were ruled by chance. Yet there is noth-
Ing left TO chance in the action Of the play
which advances with the unvaciliating
foot Of destiuity. And the characters are
made 70 subordinate themselves to- the
interests Of the play as to something in
which they have all a common concern.
With the greater part Of the secondary
ramatists the characters seem like I'M

Was il only that Shakespeare, in choosing
his themes, had keener perception Of the
dramatic possibilities of storys This is
very likely, and it is certain that he pre-
ferred to take a story ready to his hand
