ST. PAUL WILL INVEST SURPLUS
MONEY ON HER TAX LEVY
CERTIFICATES
EXCEPT A BLOCK OF $4,000
WHICH GOES TO THE ST. PAUL
FIRE AND MARINE INSURANCE.
COMPANY,
FOR A PREMIUM OF $500 ON EACH.
But Were Not Considered Lib
eral Enough.

Bids for tax levy certificates were re-
ceived yesterday at the city comp
troller's Office There were five bids in
all, in response to the announcement
some days ago that the city Of ST.
Paul would sell $4,000 worth of tax
levy certificates to the highest bidder
or bidders.
The bids were opened In the city
comptrolIer's Office by the conference
committee. Upon examining them, it
was decided to reject all save the pro-
position Of the ST. Paul Fire and Ma
rine Insurance company, who put in a
bid for only $4,000 worth of the GER
tificates. The other four bids were
considered too low to accept.
The bid Of the st. Paul Fire and Ma
rine Insurance company averaged g.
premium of $3.50 on each certificate
purchased. In other words the total
bid for the $4,000 worth Of certificates
amounted to $25, 1S0.
An evening paper enormously stated
that the remaining $125,0OO worth Of
certificates would be offered for sale.
In a sense it is true they will be sold,
Instead they will be purchased with
surplus money accumulated in certain
department funds. This procedure
enables the city authorities to get
around the charter provision forbid
ding the transfer Of funds from one de-
partment to another. The charter per-
mits certain municipal Departments to
invest their surplus money in tax levy
certificates of Indebtedness. The GER
tificates mature in one year and bear
per cent interest payable semi-an-
nually.
The rejected bids and the amounts
bid were as follows.
State Savings Bank, of st. Paul.
premium of $1.57 on each certificate.
E. w. Peet & Son, of st. Paul, pre-
MUM of 76 cents on each certificate.
The st. Paul Title Insurance and
Trust company, 10 cents premium.
Estabrook & Co., Of Boston, q pre-
MUM of Is ITO cents.
All of the bids except the one &C
cepted were for the entire issue.
Comptroller McCardy says that he
car hardly gauge the price offered for
these certificates by those formerly
sold, as the tax certificates issued last
year were for a longer period. A one
year certificate is not regarded general
ly as a very good investment, and this
is given as the reason for lack of sat
isfactory bids.

MON BETWEEN TWO RAIL-
RfjAH TRACKS.
ONE or TAEM'FATALLY HURT.
TONY HANLEY,, rs STRUCK by A
GREAT NORTHERN PAssEN-
GER TRAIN.
HIS DEATH EXPECTED HOURLY.
Flat Undersf the Mississippi Street
Bridge LIS the Scene of a Sad
Casualty.

Tony Hanley, twelve years old, and
living at 575 Temperance street, was
struck by an engine on the Great North
ern road near the Mississippi street
bridge yesterday afternoon, and fatally
injured.
There is quite vacant spot between
the tracks of the Great Northern and
Omaha roads just above the Mississippi
street bridge, and the GROUND is used
by boys In the neighborhood as a ball
ground. An attempt has been made by
the railroad officials, and also the po-
lice. to prevent ball playing in the
place owing to the danger from the in
Vulnerable trains which pass the point.
1t has only been an attempt, however,
Tor every day lads ranging in years
from ten to eighteen run the risk Of
getting manned for life Or killed by
playing ball there. Yesterday after
noon a game was played at the point
mentioned between the Torrents and
niLe from Saltwater. Tony Hanley
attended the game as spectator and
it was while leaving the place for home
that he was injured. During the pro-
gress Of the game number Of the
boys who live in the immediate neigh
borhood varied the monotony by
catching rides on freight trains which
pass the place. Freight trains were
selected because they pass at slow
rate Of speed ard can be easily
boarded.
Hanley was about with the lads so
engaged, but not being used to catching
rides, did notsenter into the sport. He
has a newspaper route and about 4
o'clock started for down town. While
crossing the tracks of the Great North
ern road he must have became con-
fused by the approach of a freight train
from Minneapolis on another track, as
he walked in front Of passenger train
on the Great Northern bound for Min
netonka, and was struck by the engine.
He was hurled some distance and had
his right arm crushed and collar bone
broken and sustained a fracture Of
the skull n
The patrol wagon was called to the
scene, as wass also DR.. Skinner, one Of
the surgeons for the road. The injured
boy was taken to st. .Joseph's hospital,
and last evening was reported in
critical condition. He has a severe frac-
ture of the skull, was delirious and 1t
required the services of an attendant
to keep him in his cot.
The accident resulted in the calling
of the ball game in the first half of the
fifth inning, and it is understood that
the railroad officials will prevent, If
possible, the territory between the
tracks being used in the future for a
ball ground. ,r

WAS THE OLDEST INNATE.
William Knowles Dies at an Elk
treme Old Age.


William Knowles, who until his
death last Saturday afternoon was the
oldest inmate, of the Little Sisters of
the Poor institution, was inferred in
Calvary cemetery at 3 p. m. yester-
day. The exact age of the deceased
was not known, although it is certain
he had passed his nintieth year. He
was born in Tfpperary county, Ireland,
but came to America fifty-six years
ago, and until his admission to the
charitable institution, where his death
occurred, followed the avocation Of a
day iabOrer. About twenty-five years
ago he came to the Northwest and
located in St Paul and Minneapolis.
Eleven years ago he was admitted to
the Home of the Little Sisters of the
Poor on the recommendation of the
pastor Of st. Mary's parish, of this
city.
Mr.. Knowles death was the natural
result of advanced years. His consti-
tuition, naturally, strong, became sud-
denly impaired, and two weeks ago he
was compelled to take to his bed. Prior
to that time he had been comparative
~ strong and was in full possession of
all the faculties. He was a lifelong
and devoted member of the Catholic
church. and two hours prior to his
death asked that his clothes be pre-
pared that he might attend mass the
following morning. $50.
The deceased was a married man,
but his wife preceded him to the grave
many years. One daughter, married
and living in Minneapolis, was notified
of her parents death but did not ar
rive prior to the interment. 1t is said
that she had not visited the old gen
tleman for nearly five years.
The Little Sisters of the Poor own a
lot in Calvary cemetery and it was in
this the deceased found his last rest
ing place.

HALTED AT THE DOOR.
Young Mans Mind Changed at
Saloon Entrance.


Outward action is not always con-
elusive evidence Of inward thought a
fact that was demonstrated on East
Seventh street one day last week. A
young man, who had apparently Just
about reached legal years, was seen
to pause in front of finely-appointed
saloon and gaze thoughtfully at the
liquid display in the windows. After
a moments contemplation he stepped
towards the swinging door, pushed 1t
partially open, and then stopped once
more. His face wore an undecided
lcok, and it was apparent that the
young man was waging a mental war
fare with himself. For a moment only
he stood in the doorway, his eyes rest
ing wiStfully on the bar; his lips Were
tightly compressed and his hands
opened and closed convulsively, while
his whole demeanOr proved what a
struggle was going on between mind
and matter. Finally the expression on
his face changed and with resolute
mo I won't do it," the battle was won
and the young fellow started down the
street g
An elderly gentleman, who had been
an interested witness of the scene just
described, was apparently much pleased
at the termination Of the struggle. He
rushed after the young man, clasped
his hand and in a voice choking with
emotion, said: Heaven bless you, my
friend. You have made gallant fight
and won. If this country had more
young people with a determination
like your own the land would soon be
purged of drunkards.
"Oh, it's not dat. Gully" said the
hurrying youth, But dere's a blokey
around de corner wot sells a bigger
glass for nickel and trows in free
lunch, too. See?"
The old gentleman nearly tainted
and the young man with the determin-
alton made Decline for his objective
point.

RUST ON WHEAT SPEARS
As Bad as on the Jayelins of an
u

As b. Bad as on the JJaYyelins of an
The existence of great deal of red
rust on wheat in the Northwest has
been the subject of a careful inyesti-
cation by Prof. Otto Lugger, the state
entomologist, and he states his con-
clusion that the rust is injurious to
the grain, although many have held
that it did not harm. DR.. Lugger says
the only thing that will save the grain
Is a hard rain, An Illinois authority
estimates that the annual loss in that
state by rust, on a basis Of rs cents
bushel for wheat, Is not less than
$375, 900.
= DIR. Lugger says: 1.-THE ravages of
injurious insects, such as chinch bugs,
army worms and migratory locustS have
been Insignificant when compared with
the losses sustained by the minute
plants causing rust"
The vegetable parasites causing rust,
belong to thesorder of general fungi
(mycomycetesi.s to the sub-order of
basidiomycetes, and to the family of
rust fungi. ALI fungi, which produce or
cause rust, are. parasites whose mye-
celium, or vegetatiYe portion grows in
the tissue of their hosts they form be-
low the epideIiniss of that host larger
or smaller aggrfg lions of spores, which
remain either covered by the epidermis-
or, penetrating, are freely exposed
upon it's surface. In the latter case they
appear upon the leaves and stems of
the infested plant as rust-colored, dust
like spots, or as Grusts
These. plant spores, or Seeds are
held in irregular. shaped pockets in
the leaf, and humber 500 to 800 spores
in each pocketss said DR.. Lugger
These spores are perfect globular
bodies Their function is the same as
that Of common seed: They are not
visible to the naked eye. AS they ripen
they loosen, until breaking away, they
are carried UP into the atmosphere,
often to great heights until they strike
the opposite air currents when they
are carried over the country until rain
filters the atmosphere. bringing down
the spores onto the plants. or until
they fall with down currents Of air..
As soon as the spores are moistened'
there is rupture, and the whole in
side crawIs out like worm, and 1t
feels about for an opening in the leaf
by which it can enter. 1t is too delicate
to break the epidermis' of the leaf, and
keeps working until it finds breathing
pore, and through this goes inside the
leaf It there consumes the food brought
with 1t from the pocket and when that
is consumed it sends out little suckers
that attack the plant. cells, and at this
point the injury to the plant begins.
DR. Lugger says that while there is
no remedy, as yet for rust, that 1t is
important to cut down and remove
plants in such spots in the fields where
the summer spores become first MOTTO
able upon them. Most important is
the burning of all the stubble infested
with such rust. as by this means large
numbers of spores are killed or pre-
vented from alternating.
