Lake of the Isles and not much has
been accomplished Many public spirit
ed citizens who are glad to see money
pent for parks have come to the con
luSlOn that the Lake of the Isles dredg-
nc venture was mistake. The dredge
boat mas been in operation four or five
years. 1t must remain where it is four
OF five years more before the
work at Lake of the Isles is
completed. Its maintenance costs
money. 1t is doubtful if any
action to discontinue work there would
be cOuntcnanccd now that so m much
has been spent on that lake, but the
board will be watched and criticised if
it attempts any more ventures in line
with the Lake of the Isles job.
The matter of building bridge over
the railroad on the Dean boulevard was
discussed yesterday. The boulevard will
be improved and the bridge will cost
$1,000, of which amount the Milwaukee
road will pay 5000. Tree planting at
POWderhOrn lake came in for portion
of the discussion. Commissioner
Haugan opposed the continuance of the
work, and asked that the further eX-
penditure of money be postponed for
the present. The matter was finally left
over until the meeting of the board next
Monday afternoon.
The owners of Spring lake and adj
joining lands have submitted PROPOSE
tion to the park board, offering ten
acres. which includes the lake, at a re-
markably low price. If the proposition
is accepted the board will set about to
improve the lake and adjoining land,
and make it one of the handsomest spots
i'll the city. The money with which to
improve the land has been offered by
Thomas Lowry, in all $4,000. Presi-
dent Loring enthusiastically indorses
the project to make Spring lake and its
surroundings park.

JEPsON NOT IN ANGER.
The Last Grand Jury Did Not In
diet Hin-Court Briefs.

Ihe Last Grand Jury Did Not In
dict Him-Conrt Briefs.
1t has been rumored quite extensively
of late that the last grand jury returned
an Indictment against Joe Jepson for
assault and battery as the outgrowth of
the atfrav with Norm King, and in
which Jepson was badly hurt. 1t was
learned yesterday. however, that after
King mad given his testimony before the
jury. Il red-hot discussion took place, in
which the past records of both men fig
ured quite extensively, and, upon ballot,
the jury stood evenly divided. In con-
sequence no indictment was returned.
Judge Pond filed two decisions yes
terday, both being for the defendants,
in the cases OF w. c. Fullington VS..
Daniel Fish, as assignee of Valentine
g. Hush; and i'll the case of Byron
WOlverton against The Northwestern
Guaranty Loan Company. Fullington's
suit was for $6.777S9. He, as Il creditor
OF Hush. filed no release, and then
sought to collect from the assignee. In
Wolverton'S case, auSury on an $4,000
loan was charged.
Judges Lochren, Hooker and Hicks
yesterday listened to arguments in the
Barge VS.. Schiek case. This is an action
to eject. a demurrer to the complaint
was once sustained and the complaint
amended. Yesterday arguments arose
over complications as result of the de-
murrer. and both sides moved for ver-
diet Oh the pleadings. The arguments
are still gong on.
Judge Lochren expects that his find
ings of fact in the famous Seibert-St.
Louis case will be received from the
printer today, and that the arguments
by the opposing attorneys will begin at
once. Still another overture for settle
ment has been made in the case, but it
is not thought tlat it will be accepted.
The case of Jenny Beardsley, as ad-
mlnistratiX,vS. Street r lilWav Company
has gone to the supreme court, Judge
Smith having affixed his signature to
the records and denied new trial.
Frank Crooley has petitioned the pro-
bate court for letters of administration

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-W.H. Trues-

st. Louisiana president of the company,
arrived in tine city this morning from
New York city. where he has been ell
deavOring to straighten out the affairs
of his company and prevent the sale
under the foreclosure proceedings now
pending. Before going back to Mime
apoliS he will again visit New York.
He declined to state what he had ac-
compllshed, but admitted that his trip
East was i'll the interest of the road and
to stop tn foreclosure. The Rock
Island holds large block of the bonds,
which are being foreclosed on, and the
the trouble is understood to be in deal
ing with them. Mr.. Truesdale feels con-
fident that all will be arranged before
the sale, and cites the magnificent rec
ord made by the road during the year
ending last July, when he as receiver
showed surplus above operating eX-
penses of nearly million dollars. The
appearance of this report caused a
bound in both the common and pre-
ferred stock, and in less than month
both had doubled. In October. at a
meeting of the stockholders. Mr.. TrueS-
dale WAS chosen president, and, unlike
most railroads iii the condition af the

in the interests of the stockholders.

EXPERT DONALDSON.
Treasurer'S Office Employees Say
Harsh Things About Him.

There is, to all appearances, a small
sized tempest brewing in the office of
the treasurer of Hennepin county over
the work done by Expert Accountant
W. II. Donaldson in checking up the
books of II. o. Peterson.
In the first place, the county paid
some $4,000 to discover q shortage of $40.
and, in the second place. it is alleged
that Mr.. Donaldson has so completely
mixed UP many OF tie settlements in
the vaults that it is impossible to make
head. tail or middle to them. Figures
have be,'n prepared and lists
gone over. and the officials in
the treasurer's Office soy they are
now fully prepared to back their
statement that Donaldson took great
deal more time than was necessary at
the work; did a great deaf of work
which was unnecessary even to going
over 10 1855 settlements. and finally col
lected pay for Il periol when he was ab
sent as we'll as pay from the county, for
time spent on Paterson's books. when
he was also collecting pay from the
county for work he was doing Oh cleo
ton returns.
Mr. Donaldson could not be seen
about the matter last night for his side
of the story. While the entire matter
may result from Il misunderstanding
there is hard feeling between the em-
ployeS Of the treasurer'S office and Mr.
Donaldson

Criticism of Expert Account
ant Donaldson's Work for

A telegram was received here last
night from Mansfield, o., stating that
Col William McCrory. of this city, had
died suddenly. Col. McCrory went to
Mansfield some time ago for his health.
During the Republican parade last fall
he was thrown from his horse and
injured internally. Although he re-
covered, apparently, his usual good
health, he began to fail visibly
about a month ago. His death last
night was due to these Injuries. Col.
McCrory was one Of the best known
men in the Flour city. lie was man
of considerable means, and always took
a prominent part in national politics;
an important part in the endeavors to
secure the national convention for the
city, and was closely connected with
the movement from the first. He was
also the protector of the old motor line
which extended to Minnehaha Falls,
Lake Harriet and Minnetonka. The an
nouncement of his death will be a sad
surprise to his many friendS-and ac-
quantanceS in this city.

BOWKER Is DEFENDANT.
His Wife's Petition for a Divorce
Has Been Filed.

Rev. J. II. Bowker lives a stormy
life. On top of his troubles with the
board of education, the detection of the
strongest members of the board of di-
rectorS of his Home for the FriendleSs,
his discharge from Calvary Baptist
church, and his indictmenG by the grand
jury, comes suit for divorce in which
he is defendant. Mrs. Bowker's attor-
ney intended to hold off the divorce
complaint until after the trial of the
criminal action against B0Wker.
When the criminal case was continued
over the term, Attorney Than decided
to push the divorce case, 50 he filed the
voluminuus complaint yesterday. Both
parties to the Case are forty-tWo years
old. They were married in 1870 III
Fairfax. VT. They have never lived
happily, the complaint says. Her trou-
b!es eliminated a year ago last Septem-
Der. From that time until last May her
husband, she says, frequently told peo-
pie that she was insane, and she was in
constant fear of being locked up in
some asylum. All the charges that have
been made against Bowker in con-
necton with the stories about
his reformatory institution and
his indictment are reiterated.

twenty-one, who is married, and Johnny,

The Dredge Boat Will Not B,

The Dredge Boat VIII Not BE
Taken From Lake of the Isles.
A number OF prominent property own
ers whose belongings are in the vicinity
of Lake of the Isles waited upon the
park board committee OH improvements
Yesterday afternoon. I The citizens were
wroth at the proposition to remove the
dredge boat from Lake Of the Isles to
Powderhorn lake. before the dredging
had been completed at the former. They
were entitled to the boat and compile
ton of the work. they SAID, for they had
paid taxes for many years for that Spe-
ciaI purpose. The committee finally
decided that the boat should not be re-
moved if another one could be found to
rerlace it. Commissioners Haugan and
Folwell we're appointed subcommittee
to ascertain what the dredge boat sta
toned at Minnetonka can be purchased
for. The boat is the property OF the
county.
While the demands Of the Lake of the

their point of view, residents Of Other

Lighter EIour Outnut.

AS result of one of the Pillsbury
mills being idle for repairs, the flour
output fell off about 1900 barrels last
week, says the Northwestern Miller.
The production was 175, l65 barrels,
averaging 29,194 barrels daily, against
1872, ,525 barrels the week before, 1870
barrels for the corresponding time In
1892. and l23, $50 barrels in 1891. This
week nearly the same capacity is in mo-
ton, and the quantity OF -four turned
out will probably not show much
change. Millers generally complain
that flour is very slow of sale, and buy
ers are taking no more than they actual
ly require to meet current needs. The
foreign trade is especially light. Direct
export shipments by the mills last week
were 42,445 barrels, against 5l,O05 bar
rels the preceding week.

OTTAWA, Ont. Feb. 17.-The Can
-adian Pacific has given notice of an APP
plication to parliament for an act
authorizing it to convert, at the option
of holders, its existing ordinary shares
into registered sterling stock. and to
give the company the option OF making
such registered stock dfuture issue
that may be authorized by the share
holders, and also to restore the
powers contained in clause 81 of
the company's charter relating to
the issue of preference stock subject to
the authority of the shareholders, but
limiting the amount of such preference
stock to 0ne-half the amount OF the Or
dinary stock and share capital at any
time outstanding. This will complete
the restoration to the company OF all
the powers conferred by its original
charter, and enable it to bring its tinan-
ces more into harmony with English
ideas as to the relation that should exist
between the amount OF capital carrying
fixed charge and that entitled to rank
for dividends.

to disregard international markets.
The agrarian and anti-semeuc move

his narrow world, who could wiring

music'S influence is always for the best.
An old man was brought into the lock-
up Thursday night, ragged. unkempt.
unwashed and undo the spell of alcohol.
Too drunk he was to tell aught but his
name. An old violin nestled under his
arm. His steps were faltering and un-
steady, but his old violin he protected
with the care Of a loving father.
"Put him in 26," said the jailer. ~ es,

the old man reached for it hesltatingly.
well, the old mans givin' us a

the first notes of a violin tloated from
the old mans cell. The stoical policemen
stood around and smiled halfheartedly.
Then they stopped and listened. The
Quavering notes of the old violin
changed, They began to speak a Ian
guage.
"Down on the Farm" it sang, and
every hardened police officer was back
thirty, forty years, rolling in the hay,
fishing, robbing humble bees nests.
Another change. The Wind That
Shakes the Barley hummed saucily in

"Marching Through Georgia" and
the blue coats they wore, still blue,
were of another cut. Guns were III their
hands, fire in their eyes.
And SO on, one scene gave place to
another. its story told by tine old violin.
Softly sweet the music of Home, Sweet

Gentle mothers patted the heads OF

The music had ceased and burly of
