NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
Over the RuInor That st. Paul Is
to Lose Weather Bureau.

There was no little agitation about
the city yesterday over a rumor that
had gained some currency and was
later strengthened by an evening pa
per, that there were indications or pos
sibilities of a consolidation of the
weather offices of Minneapolis and st.
Paul, and that efforts were being
made by Minneapolis to secure the To-
cation of the Offices when consolidated.
1t seems. however, very improbable
that such a thing will be done, and
after all, the excitement may prove
tempest in a teapot In the past, when
the government appropriations were
insufficient to furnish a complete and
extensive weather service, this city
contributed literally for years to sus-
tain an office. It is therefore not prob
able that it would now be taken away
from here and placed elsewhere. That
this could not be done without serious
opposition on the part of all classes
of citizens goes without saying and
many think that Chief Moore, of the
weather service, will not undertake to
do such a thing. There are so far alb
solutely no authentic statements fol
such rumor.

WATKINS IS CHOSEN
By the Fish Commission as Super
intendent of Fish Hatchery

The state fish. and game commission
Chairman Undertake, in the Fire and
Marine building, and chose Clarence
Watkins for superintendent of the
state fish hatchery. Mr.. Watkins is
the son of the late superintendent, and
was born at Redwing, and received a
common school education. He is TWEEN
ty-Seven years of age, and unmarried.
Mr.. Watkins is well posted in fish cnl-
ture and will make capable superin-
tendent. The salary has been reduced
to 81 200 a year. The application of w.
P. AndruS for the position of superin-
tendent of the hatchery was not con-
sidered by the commission.
1t was also decided to reduce the
number of wardens in service, and to
retain only those who attend strictly
to their official duties. Commissioner
Ferris, of Brainerd, reported that bass
will shortly be distributed from Ferris
lake, near Brainerd. This lake is par
ticularly wei adapted for the breeding
of bass, but it is the property of a
private citizen, and is rented by the
commission for the sum of $50 per
month. The owner or the lake pays
the $50 as salary to a Waterman, and
thus receives no profit from the rental.
A short executive session was held
during the afternoon, and about 3
o'clock the entire commission adjourn
ed to Aurora park to see the ball game.

SOLVING THE PUZZLE.
Methods by Which Iron Range
Roads Right May Be Tested.

The question of how the right of the
Duluth & Iron Range Railroad company
will be tested by the courts is still
asitating the minds of the people in
terested in the matter. There are
three ways in which the question may
be taken into the courts.
First, by the state conveying the
lands to some other road, in which
case the Duluth & Iron Range would
seek to recover them and the state
would come in as interviewer.
Second, the only way in which the
state could be made a party direct to
the suit, the state to bring an action
to have the grant set aside on the
ground that the act of 1881 declared
a forfeiture of it.
Third, sell the lands and let the
purchasers fight it out with the rail-
road company, with the state inter-
vening.

SCARCITY OF ALDERMEN.
There Was Not IL Quorum Mt the
Meeting Yesterday.


For the fourth time eight aldermen
have failed to materialize in the coun-
ell chamber at an adjourned meeting.
Yesterday afternoon only six put in
an appearance. Aid. Brady, Milham
and President Ehrmanntraut being alb
sent from the city, could not, of
course, attend, but it was confidently
expected that Aid. Wolf and Kartak
would be present. The six aldermen
waited half an hour and then ad-
journed on motion of Aid. Murphy
until 1880 D. m. next Tuesday. The
quorum of six members passed the as
sembly resolution instructing the city
attorney to permit final judgment to
be entered against the city for the
amount of the claim of Charles L.
Horst for services rendered the city
while acting as city treasurer.
Vice President Montgomery called
attention before the meeting, to the
rule providing for a fine of s. so which
may be imposed upon any member of
the board for absenting himself from
a. regular meeting without permis-
sion or good excuse.
The business before the board is the
confirmation of the contract for paw
ing ST. Peter street with asphalt, and
the Butler-Ryan contract for erecting
the school building at Avon and La
fond streets. Both matters require a

THEY ARE TO CELEBRATE AN
NIVERSARY OF SONS OF.
HERMAN
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY !.
MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT ANDs
DANCE TOMORROW os
NIGHT,
FOLLOWED BY GRAND PARADE !
Sunday Afternoon to BanhoIzef's
Park, Where Other Exercises
VIII Take Place.

Sunday next the residents of this
city will have an opportunity to wit
ness one of the greatest parades and
celebration that have ever been
held here. The occasion is the TWEEN
ty-fifth anniversary of the founda-
ton of the order of the Sons of Her
man in this state. On the rolls of
this society the names Of many of
the most esteemed and best known
German-American citizens appear.
For those not thoroughly familiar
with this organization a few words
as to it's origin and aims may be of
interest. 1t was founded in the city
Of New York in 1910. The particular
occasion was a funeral held under
the auspices of the Odd Fellows,
which was witnessed by a number of
German-Ameracan and which
prompted a strong desire on their
part to form like organization of
their own, so as to enable them to
bury their deceased friends in a like
solemn manner, to dry the tears of
widows and orphans and to give
them such aid as was within their
power to give.
The natural result was the forma-
ton on July 20, 1910, of Teutonia
Lodge No. L, Order of Sons of Her
man. The name could not be better
chosen, as it was Herman, or Ar
minus, who in the year B. G.. lib
Grated the TeutonS from the CALLING
yoke Of the Romans, and ended fur
Their invasion and oppression on
their part. The growth of the order
was slow at first, but in spite of the
many obstacles encountered in the
start, the young tree soon grew into
d mighty oak which spread it's
branche@ all over this country, and
at this time lodges may be found
almost everywhere from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, and from the great
Northwest to the Rio Grande.
AS stated, the aims of this organi-
cation are entirely of a fraternal and
benevolent character. Although all
the business is transacted in Ger
man, the members of this order take
the greatest pride in this, the COM
mon country of all, and are always
prompt to show their gratitude and
loyalty for the blessings extended
to them in the land of the free. The
first lodge in this state-Washing-
ton Lodge No. Twas organized in
1870, and consisted of the following
gentlemen: August Ziegler, Moritz
Walter, Jacob Hammer, Louis F1sch-
er, Henry Warfeld, Louis Kohlmann,
Charles Schmidt, Henry Guthunz,
August Hammer, Oswald Weis, Jo-
seph Hofer, Christ Richter, H Or
lemann, Gottlieb Burian, Jacob Me
derhoefer, Andreas Foss, Adam
Stahlmann, Charles Naeher, George
Thele and Edward Hammer A few
of these have died since, but for
tunately a goodly number are still
hale and hearty, and happy to be
able to see the result of their early
labors reaIized-a shining example
to the younger members.

GEN. RUGGLES HERE.
He Is on Il Tour of Inspection of
Army Posts and Deparfments

He rs on u Tour of Inspection of
Army Posts and DEPARTMENTS.
Gen. Ruggles, adjutant general Of
the army of the United States, ar
rived in the city yesterday and stopped
Tong enough to call at army head
quarters. Gen. Ruggles is at present
on tour of inspection of the army
posts and the different departments of
the country. He only stopped for the
afternoon, and last evening left over
the Great Northern for Fort Assina-
boine, which will be the next to come

goes to Helena and thence to the Vel
lowstone National Park, where Fort
Yellowstone will be looked over. Then
the generals tour lies towards the Pa
cific coast and all posts in that terri
tory will be visited
1t is a matter of regret that the gen.
eral could not stop here longer as he
is well known to d great portion of
St PauPS citizens. He was stationed
at St Paul from 1876 to 1880 as adjutant
general of the department of Dakota.
Leaving here he was transferred to
San Francisco, where he remained I'M
til 1890, going from there East. After

ment of the East until 1893, he was in
that year appointed adjutant general
Of the entire army, being made briga-
der general at the same time.

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
Hears a Protest From the Watrous
Engine Company.


J. H. Moritz, of the Watrous Engine
company, yesterday protested to the
board of equalization against the valu-
alton, 49, COO, placed on the company's
personal property. The company made
a return of $4,000, and $1,000 was added
to this by the assessor. Mr.. Moritz
said the valuation as it stands is much
larger proportionately than that of
other companies of a. similar character.
The matter was referred to the audi
tor, assessor and Van Slyke to investi-
gate.
Auditor Sullivan thought the board
ought to hold an executive meeting and
make comparisons to see just how the
assessments stood in relation to each
other, instead of making comparisons
in a haphazard way.
Mayor Smith replied that the first
thing to be done was to hear the people
who had protests to make.
The auditor reached for a copy of the
code to prove his position, but mo-
ton to adjourn cut off the debate.

CRIMINAL STATISTICS
Reported by Secretary of Board of
Corrections and Charities

Secretary Hart, of the state board of
corrections and charities, has issued his

in the country.
The total number of prisoners in all
prisons Of the state June Sc. was 1,063,
an increase of only "A per cent since
1889, when the total number was lob
During 1880 and 1891 the number de-
creased. In the former year there
were but 922 in prison, and in 1891 the
number had fallen to 9BS. In 1892 it
went up again to 963, and in 1893 it
jumped to 1.1S4. In 1894 the number
had decreased again to 9S3, but this
year it has jumped to 1,063.

CAUSE OF BAD WATER.
DIR. Hewitt Says 1t Is Due to Veg
etabIe Matter and Bad Weather.

DR.. Hewitt, Of the state board of
health, says that the unpleasant taste
complained of in the city water is
caused by the formation of a fungus
from the pollen of the plants in the
lakes supplying the city with water.
The doctor says also that atmospheric
conditions have a great deal to do
with the water, as is shown by the
fact that since the heavy rainfall of
a week ago the water has been much
better. Yesterday only three COM
plants were made at the health office
regarding the water being bad, and
DR.. Hewitt will make an examination
of samples from the source of supply.
