BANNER BERRY YEAR.
Injury to the Minnesota Crop
Makes No Famine.

Fruit men call this the banner
berry year. Never before have the
commission houses been so flooded
with strawberries. From Florida to
the Nauvoo territory in Northern
Illinois the crop has been unsurpass-
ed. AS in the case of the potato crop
in Northern Minnesota few years
ago, the growers and dealers were put
to their wits end to devise means for
disposing of the enormous surplus.
To the strawberry people Of the entire
Southeast the frost of June 1st proved
a boon, while to the consumers it has
been no misfortune. For there are
plenty of strawberries, even though
J Minnesota should have failed to
produce basketful.
The commission houses get their
first berries from Florida, and as the
season advances they seek sections
further north. When the best of the
Illinois and Missouri crop is consumed
UIlC ucdlcIS Ul1Cll w
local product, which in quality is most
delicious. But the Northern Illinois
crop, if large, lasts until late in the
season and a frost-bitten berry in
Minnesota creates in the dealers
mind no feeling of profound regret.
"People have been living on straw
berries this spring pretty mucn," said
one dealer. "We have found the
berries almost drug on the market,
so large was the supply, but by reduc-
ing prices we have managed to create
an unusually large demand. They
are cheaper than ever before, as the
crop is larger than ever before. The
frost killed a considerable portion Of
the Minnesota crop, but that has not
hurt our business. Very few cars will
be received from the Northern Pacific
coast this year, although the crop
there is all right"

ROYAL ARCANUM DAY.
Will be Celebrated by Picnic at Lake
Washington.

Tomorrow is Royal Arcanum day
and the local council Will celebrate it
with picnic at Lake Washington.
The members will go and take their
families and spend the day. There
are tables in the grove at f. r. Volk's,
where they Gao spread their lunch,
and the grounds are large enough for
games of all kinds. The boating
facilities are ample, and fine sail
boat is there ready for use. The at
tendance promises to be large, and all
who have attended any of these pic
mics in the past know that good
time is assured to all.
The council will meet tonight,
when the final arrangements will be
made. All the members should be
present.

USE MINNESOTA STONE.

1t is surprising that there should
be any question as to where the stone
for the new state capitol should come
from, whether from within the state
of Minnesota or from outside it's
borders. And yet such is the case
and the capitol commission is divided
three to three, with one member who
has not yet made up his mind, as to
whether or not Minnesota stone shall
be used. We say it is surprising, for
with the vast stone interests in Min
nesota it would seem that there ought
not to be any question raised in this
respect The one thought as to
material for the structure ought to be
first, last and all the time, Minnesota
stone. With our different varieties
of sand stone and granite, there ought
to be no difficulty in making a selec-
tion of material that will make not
only substantial, but also fine
looking and imposing building.
If the question was raised and could
be substantiated that Minnesota
stone was not suitable for the build
ing, it would be different, but it is
not raised, for to raise it would be
ridiculous. The point, as we under
stand 1T that is made for the Indiana
stone that is proposed for the build
ing, is that it is softer and can be
dressed by machinery, while the
Minnesota stone is harder and must
be dressed by hand labor, and that as
a result small sum will be saved on
the imported machine dressed stone.
But it should be understood that this
small sum, whatever it is, is saved at
the expense of Minnesota labor. The
people will hardly endorse the COM
mission in saving very small sum at
the expense of Minnesota labor. Then
the fact that the Indiana stone is said
to be softer than the Minnesota stone
ought to be a point in favor OF the
Minnesota stone as to durability at
least. A soft stone in such struc-
ture is not as desirable as harder
one. In either Minnesota granite or
sandstone the capitol commission
will find material that will
make most durable and beautiful
building, and the matter of saving a
small sum by going outside OF the
state for cheaper stone will amount
to nothing, when the discredit it will
throw upon our own stone industry is
taken into consideration.
The people of the state want home
stone used. That fact is manifest
everywhere when the question is
raised, and if the commission so far
forgets itself as to 60 back upon one
OF the leading industries of the state,
in the erection of the chief public
building of the state, it ought to be-
come, as it would, an object of con-
tempt by the people, for it would
fasten upon the state disgrace that
could not be effaced by the march OF
time

RINGLING BROS. GREAT CIRCUS.
1t Came, 1t Saw and 1t Conquered
the City.
By All Odds the Biggest Circus That
Ever Visited Here.

The successful engagement of Ring
ling Brothers circus in Minneapolis
yesterday demonstrated at least one
fact: that is, the efficiency, not to say
the all-sutficiency, of newspaper adj
vertising. The audience at the after
noon performance filled the tent, and
not reserved seat was to be had
when the introductor pageant began
and in the evening the management
simply turned people away.
Peculiar conditions have existed in
Minneapolis for a few week; not a
large board was available for the
Ringling bills, and the advertising
usually done by the large photographic
work on the rOadsides found a substi-
tute in newspaper advertising. Ring
ling Brothers great show was attrac-
tiOn enough to fill it's tents in the
absence of the bill-bOards.
If there are any better or greater
sh 2ws in the world than the Ringing
Brothers they have never come to
Minneapolis-and this is pretty good
show town, too. That was the uni
versal verdict of those who went yes
terday, and the business of the
Tribune is to record the concensus Of
public opinion.
The great crowd in the evening, de-
spite the heat and the threatening
weather, attests the findings in the
case.
If the old preachers who used to de-
vote so much time and elOquence in
accommodation of the wlckedness of
the circus could have attended the
performance given by Ringing
Brothers aggregation, from start to
finish, including the concert, or if
they could have been induced to
watch the parade in the morning,
they would have sung another tune.
The circus business, as conducted, by
these five brothers, is as honorable
and respectable as any that can be
named. There was absolutely not a
scene or word that suggested an i'm
propriety; there was none of that
reckless disregard of another's rights
which at one time characterized the
paripatetic Snowman; instead there
was the greatest cleanliness, order
and civility not only toward the pub
lie, but between the show people
drag-out days of Adam Forepaugh
nave Uceu SupcTScucu NY UuO RSuUlc-
manly Ringlings, and all the stock
arguments of the ministerial profess
sion against the circus have been
nullified.
And they are nullified. Preachers
and school teachers took their child
rem and went to the afternoon per-
Torrance, and not one went away un-
til the last chariot race had been won
and lost.
The Ringing Brothers never ad-
vertise their side show attractions.
Not word has been said by the papers
or otherwise about the side show, al.
| though it's features were fully up to
the best and in addition, it had the
| first kaleidoscope edition of the Fitz-
simmons Corbett fight that has been
in town. The theory of the manage
ment is that these are necessary to
the completeness of the circus, but
they are minimized rather than ex.
aggerated in their Importance, The
fact of the matter is that the best
patrons of the circus do not care fol
the freak features and Ringing
Brothers advertise only what they
show for one admission.

POLICE COURT RECORD.
Two Assault Cases In Which Con-
tests VIII Occur.
Two Boarding House Keepers Left In
the Lurch.

Chief Yates this morning ar
rested D. j. Williams, Of Cambria
township, on the charge of as
saulting VIM. j. Evans, which the
latter claims took place last Friday
Mr.. Williams appeared before the
court this morning and entered a
plea of not guilty. He was released
on his own recognizance in the sum OF
800, and the trial will take place
Thursday. 1t is understood that the
case will be closely fought.
Thos. Huettl was before the bar of
justice this morning on the charge OF
assault in the third degree, and plead
ed not guilty. His trial was set for
July 7th, and he was allowed to go on
his own recognizance in the sum of
800. On motion of the county attor-
ney, the court ordered the complain
ing witness to furnish security for
costs to the amount of $50. Margaret
Schoen is the complaining witness.
Betsy Johnson has secured war
rant for the arrest of Magnus Lund,
whom she accuses Of leaving her
boarding house with the intent to de-
fraud her of bill which she holds
against him.
Chief Yates went to Wells last
night and arrested Byron Danes, who
is charged by L. L. DeROsia with
skipping a board bill from June 18th
to 18th. He brought Danes back

WORK Is STOPPED.
The club adjourned.

City EngineerThompson still refuses
to allow the Mankato Lime & Stone
Co. to place sawed stone curling in
front of Photographer Davis property,
on Cherry street, although the coun-
Gil ordered the action against the
company dismissed. The engineer
holds that the council did not grant
permission for the placing of sawed
stone curling, which it could not do
without amending the ordinance. The
company will suspend work on the
walk until the council has had an op-
pOrtunity to amend the ordinance.

THE CITY NOT LIABLE.

The supreme court has rendered a
decision that city is not liable for
damage resulting from back water
resulting from culvert being too
small, 1t is liable only for a lack Of
reasonable care and skill in making
public Improvements. The suit Was
that of Herman Taubert VS.. City of
st. Paul, and in the lower court he OBJ
tanned a verdict for $2,341.5O. The
following is the syllabus:
Within the city of St. Paul, and on
the premises of the plaintiff, is a
natural water course used by him in
the tanning business. The city grad
ed public street which adjOinS his
premises and in doing so erected a
large solid embankment across this
water course, except that it built a
wood culvert under the embankment
and across said street for the purpose
of carrying off said water. BY reason
of an unusually heavy rain storm this
culvert was unable to carry off the
large volume of water which there &C.
cumulated, and it flowed back upon
and damaged the plaintiffs personal
property situated in his tannery.
Plaintiff brought an action against
the defendant to recover damages for
such injury, and the facts proven war
rant the court in giving to the jury
as part of its charge, at the defen-
dant's request, as follows:
1.-THE city eff st. Paul cannot be held
liable in this case, unless the damage
complained of was caused by lack of
reasonable care or skill on it's part.
1t was not an insurer of the sufficien-
cy of The means adopted to carry off
the watsr of the creek. 1t was not
absolutely bound to provide an ade-
quate outlet for this water. If it en-
ployed competent engineers or other
agents to construct the work, and
they, in the exercise of an honest
Judgment, constructed box of such
capacity that they were reasonably
justified in believing, and did believe,
in view of all the circumstances, it
would be sufficient to carry off this
water, the city would not be liable,
although it did on the occasion when
nlaintiff's premises were flooded prove
inSufficient. Nor was it required to
anticipate extraordinary and unusual
storms, which would not be expected
tn occur in view of the past history of
the country"
The court refused to give this re-
quest. Held error. Order reversed.

Can Exterminate the Pest.

New Ulm Review:
Prof. Lugger says that the ravages
of the caterpillars are about over for
this year and if the farmers will look
to the matter they can exterminate
them, at least from among the fruit
trees. He says these pests go to the
top of the tree and, selecting branch,
usually about the size of a lead pencil,
encircle it with eggs, about 800 of
which are placed upon each twig or
branch. In the fall, winter and spring
when the leaves are off the trees these
circles can readily be seen and easily
removed, and the eggs destroyed. The
pests will be spinning the cocoons
within another week and in three
weeks the transformation into moths
will have taken place.

SENATOR FORAKER has been much
amused over the representations of
the Popocrats, of the fight between
himself and Senator Hanna. To a
New York Mail and EIpress reporter,
he said there was no truth in the re-
port, and that he and Senator Hanna
have perfect understanding in re-
gard to the coming campaign. Sena-
tor Foraker remains in Washington
because of the tariff bill. Otherwise
he would be in attendance at the state
convention at Toledo today. He ex-
pressed confidence in the Republicans
carrying Ohio next fall, and says his
correspondence shows everything to
be all right, and that times are gradu
ally improving and more men receiv-
ing employment with each passing
week.

THE senate reached the free list
yesterday, the wool schedule being
put over until today. There have
been indications that there would be
trouble in coming to an agreement
upon wool, but late dispatches state
that an agreement has been virtually
reached that it is thought will be
satisfactory to all. The bill will prob
ably be so far completed by the last
of the week that those having charge
of it will be able to tell about when
they will be able to reach a vote
upon it.

IT would seem that there ought to
be no question on the kind of stone
the new Minnesota capitol building
should be built from. If Minnesota
stone is not good enough for it, then
the state had better get along with
out new capitol until such time
as the home product is fully appre-
ciated. To go outside the state for
stone would be disgrace that ought
to send the capitol commission into
everlasting oblivion, should they de-
eide to do so.
