REPORTS OF VILLAGE Lock-ups
Eight Reports Have Thus Far
Been Received by Secretary
Hurt

Secretary Hart, of the state board of
corrections and charities, yesterday
received the first reports from lockups
throughout the state. Last winter
the legislature passed a law requiring
Village health officers to inspect the
lockups In their villages with refer
ence TO their sanitary condition once a
year during their official term and
make their reports in duplicate, one
copy 10 go to the village council and
the other to the state board of chart
ties and corrections. The law was
MADE necessary from the fact that
there are $50 lockups in the state and
II Is impossible for Secretary Hart or
any member of the board Of correc-
Tons and charities to visit all of them.
me secretary In order to facilitate the
work mas prepared a set of blanks in
the form Of small note books to be
sent out to the health officers. The
blank is prefaced with a copy of the
law, and provides for a. full descrip-
ton, of each lookup with the report of
the marshal, report on the prisoners,
the care given the lookup, ETC., and the
general report of the heauth officers.
Blanks were sent out by Mr.. Hart
last week, and so far eight reports
have been received. Secretary Hart
considers them satisfactory in the
main points, and the plan promises to
work much better than the old one of
having marshals make reports of their
own work.
The report from Evansville, Douglas
county, of DR.. Van Coppeller, which is
considered by Mr.. Hart to be the best
CIV
up, and says that the lookup is in a
satisfactory condition, and is all that
is needed for the care and safe-keeping
of prisoners.
: At Waverly, Wright county, the
lookup consists Of an iron cage, SKIS
feet, located in the engine house, and
is used but once in two years. Venti-
lation and light are good.
At Norwood, Carver county, Charles
Thomas, the marshal, reports that the
lookup is scrubbed once in six months.
The lookup is very small, but adequate
for the needs of the village.
At New York, Otter Tail county, the
health officer reports that there have
been no prisoners in the last year, but
that the matter of ventilation and bed
ding should be looked after and some
means provided for getting prisoners
out in case of fire.
AT LIE Sueur the officer reports that
he has no suggestions to make, as the
city takes pride in keeping the lookup
in good condition at all times.
AT Mantorville. Dodge county, the
officer reports that the lookup needs
another cell, fire buckets containing
water all the time and should be kept
cleaner. Scrubbing twice a year is not
enough.
At Grove City, Meeker county, the
health officer, j. N. Gayner, reports
that the lookup is kept as well as cir
.cumstances permit.
The last report received was from
DR.. c. E. Wilcox, Of Kellogg, Waba,-
Sha county.

tribute to the memory of DR.. G. F.
Root, the celebrated writer and COM
poser of war songs, who died some
two weeks ago near Portland, Me.
There was a good attendance, not
withstanding the oppressive heat,
and those who participated in the
memorial exercises felt more than
repaid for SO doing.
The programme opened with the

COVERS A WIDE FIELD.
Great Territory Embraced in the
HOmeseekers1 Excursion Rates.

Great Territory Embraced in the
HOmesee&ers' Excursion Rates.
The proposed five-dollar rate from
points ia Iowa, Illinois and Wiscon-
sin is not likely to be heard of again
in view of the homeseekers' excur-
sion rates established by the railroad
lines running west. The rate is one
fare plus 81 for the round trip and
takes in, besides the states named,
the whole territory east of the Allan
tic seaboard. At the same time spe-
cial excursion rates from different
points are being made, generally on a
basis of one and one-third fare for
the round trip. 1t would seem that in
view of the very much larger and more
available territory tapped by the ar
rangements which the railroads have
voluntarily made, that Minnesota will
lose nothing through the failure of it's
application for a S. rate from limited
points to the state fair.
A consideration which, perhaps, was
not given due weight at the time the
proposition for a s. rate was made,
is that the roads affected rely neces
sarily on the business derived from the
A-'OA eNuJS]SSiI " liIeii lines. IL
they gave it to one, they would be
obliged to give it to all states through
which their lines operated This at
least, is the main argument advanced
by the railroad men against grant
ing the application. There will no
doubt be many tourists from the east
who will come to Minnesota in the
next thirty days under the ''home-
seekers arrangement who could not
have been reached by the limited
proposition which took in only adj
joining and neighboring states. At
any rate, it seems to be the consensus
of opinion among railroad men that
the 80 proposition will go by the
board.

ENGINEERS COMING.
Convention to Be Held Here Four
Days Next Week.

Days Next Week.
The local engineers are about to be-
gin a canvass of the city in order to
secure the cooperation of the bust
ness men towards entertaining the DEL
fiega.teS to the national convention,
which meets here next Tuesday. There
will be $50 regular delegates, who will
be accompanied by their friends and
families, SO that the entire attendance
will be in the neighborhood of 1000.
Special trains are coming from Bos-
ton, New York and Chicago. There is
little doubt that this convention will
prove more than usually advantageous
to the city. Composed, as it is, of
men who rarely take a vacation and
who enjoy themselves freely when
ever they allow themselves a holiday,
the gathering cannot fail to result in
the local expenditure of a considerable
sum of money. 1t will therefore be
to the interest of the business men to
aid the small local association as far
as possible in supplying adequate en-
tertainment to the visiting delegates.
The latter will arrive in the city Sun
day. The convention lasts during four
days, and the majority of the delegates
are likely to pass a full week in st.
Paul. Already eigthty-three Of the Wis
itors have engaged rooms at Hotel
Ryan. c. N. Ludlow, the president, is
at the Ryan, and quite busy making
the local preliminary arrangements.

generation that the soldiers during the
late war sang and the bands played
in the midst of battles. Those were
not the occasions for music. The vir-
tue of the war songs made itself felt
by the camp fires at night, when the
familiar melodies inspired good cheer
and drove away lonesomeness, and
during long and weary marches, when
the first note Of one of those rousing,
martial airs quickened every step and
raised every dropping head.
At the conclusion of Capt. Castles
address, Mrs. S. V. Harris sang 1.-THE
Vacant Chair" and sang it with such
tender expression as to more than
merit the encore bestowed.
Dr. Mahan then read few pages
from DR.. Roots memoirs of his ''Musi-

and patriot.
