The rain and disagreeabIe weather of
yesterday did not prevent the opening of
the camp meeting, however,, and the serv-
ices OF the day were well attended and
were marked by the genuine camp-meet-
ing enthusiasm. The large tent used for
the meetings was erected early, and by
~ . CLOCK was ready for use. A service
was held at 1880, opened with a deyo-
tlonal and song service, at which Rev. D.
j. FUNK, presiding elder of the st. Paul

was devoted to raising tents and prepar.
ing the grounds for the ten days serv-
ices

L anticipated a daily attendance of 300
and on Sundays from 140O to 1000. To-
morrow's services will be similar to those

WATER FRONTAGE TAX.
G, w. Horr Is Anxious to Have the
Law Tested.

Some weeks ago" Corporation Attorney
Markham. in an opinion to the board Oh
water commissioners, advised the po@Iu
that the law passed by the legislature at
its last session requiring property o"lel .
to pay water frontage tax for only llVe
wears was invalid. Christopher W. horT'
who was instrumental in having the ia"
passed which reduced the term rom zen
TO five years is of the opinion that the
cornoration attorney is not the supreme
court of the state, and that the Vallo-ty
Of the law should be passed upon py the
sIDreme court notwithstanding the oplh-
ion of Mr.. Markham.
The particular point made by Mr. Horr
in his contention is that the law passed
at the last session of the legislature max
ing the term five years Is an exact copy
If the law under which the board is now
working except that the words ten years
is changed to five years. If, MI Horr
saws. the law making the term five years
is invalid then the prior law making II
ten wears is also invalid. He claims that
he is going to test the water frontage TAX
law, and if he can secure the co-opera-
ton of enough taxpayers to ASSIST hllil
he will make the fight.
Yesterday Mr.. Horn was busily engaged
in mailing to the property owners cir
cuIar. of which the following is copy:
''At last session of the Minnesota legls-
lature a law was enacted reducing length
of time for paying the water frontage tax
on lots and land in front Of which water
mains had been laid, from ten years to
five years. This five-year water frontage
law the water board proposes to ignore
and to keep en- assessing property for
water frontage tax for the full term of
ten years If you wish to stop paying
water frontage tax before ten years have
expired, fill out, sign, and return the at
teched paper tc me as soon as possible,
so I can have legal proceedings com
rnenced before 1t is too late. Unless a
large number of water frontage tax
payers join me in this matter L will not
take this case to the courts or try to get
relief from this unequal, unnecessary and
unjust ten-year water frontage tax.
Hoping to hear from you at once" etc.

SPENT A DAY AT 'TONKA.
Delegates to the Convention of the
Deaf Take an Outing.

Two hundred and fifty members of the
National Association of the Deaf and
their friends left the heat of the city be-
hind them yesterday and spent a delight
full day at Spring Park, Lake Mime
tonka. The party left the union depot at
$3.50, going by rail to Wyatta. From there
they took steamboat to Spring Park,
arriving there about 11:30. The weather.
which looked rather threatening in the
morning, cleared up beautifully in the
afternoon, and the heat that was almost
torrid in the city made the lake breeZes
especially appreciated by the silent pic
nicers. An informal dance at the pavilion
was down on the programme, but the
heat rendered this out of the question, so
less violent amusements were chosen.
Boating proved the favorite pastime, and
row boats and sail boats dotted the water
Luncheon was served out of doors. 1t was
in charge of the Minnesota delegates,
who, in fact, arranged the whole affair.
A. R. Spear, as chairman of the commit
tee on arrangements, and the members
serving with him proved most successful
hosts, and their guests were not slow in
expressing their delight over the treat af-
forded them. Not the smallest accident
married the success of the trip, and 1t was
a decidedly pleased albeit tired crowd
that returned to the hotel about o'clock
last evening.
The convention closes today. The dele
gates will meet at the state capitol this
morning at 8 o'clock. officers will be
elected and the constitution revised, be-
sides which there are several papers to
be read. It Is quite probable that an
afternoon session will be held. The ma
iority of the delegates will return to their
homes late this afternoon or evening,
though about seventy-five will stay over
for the banquet to be given this evening
by the alumni of Gallaudet college, at
the Windsor hotel.
There will be a number of short after
dinner speeches by the more prominent
guests The baquet will be the most Ella
borate social event given during the con-
vention 1t will begin at o'clock and
covers will be laid for about 100.

"a WcOr8e M0chOVec-Hurt IN the
Hand by "a Blank Cartridge Wad
-LOckjaw Followed the Poison
ing, and the Lad Dies After Much
Suffering.
Lockjaw claimed another Fourth Of
July victim yesterday, when Herman
Goth, the 3-year-old son of Alexander T.
Goth. living at st. Paul park, died of the
dread disease at st. Luke's hospital. The
boy was hurt while celebrating the
Fourth, as was George Machovec, an
other 10y who died of locijaw at ST. Jo-
seph's hospital Tuesday
1t was not discovered that the Goth boy
was threatened with tetanus until
Wednesday, when the lad was removed
to the hospital and placed under the care
of several physicians. Every effort known
to medical science was exhausted in the
attempt to save the little fellows life,
but in vain, and he died shortly after
o'clock last evening.
The similarity between the accidents
that befell the two victims of Iockjaw Is
striking. Both lads were accidentally
shot in the hand by blank cartridge pis-
tolls, Neither case was. considered serious
until dangerous symptoms were observed
Like operations were performed IN both
cases, when pieces of wadding from the
cartridges were found embedded in the
flesh. The flesh had festered about the
wadding, and in both instances the dis
ease had progressed so far that the lives
of the boys were despaired of at the first
examinations.
The accident baOnanad IN tho Goth how
the evening of July 3. He had blank
cartridge pistol with which to celebrate
the Fourth, and was experimenting with
the weapon. In some way the pistol went
OH while the lad held the barrel close to
his left hand. There was painful burn
in the palm of the hand, but this began
to heal, apparently, the next day, and
kept getting better, so no particular
alarm was felt by the boys parents
Wednesday, however, the boy complained
to his mother of a soreness about his
jaws, headache and unaccountabIe pains.
MRS Goth, apprehensive, after reading
or the Machovec boys death, at once con-
suited physician. Her fears proved
true The symptoms were those of lock-
jaw.
MRS Goth at once brought her son to
this city and took him to DR.. BoxalPs
office. The physician performed an opera
ton upon the boys hard and found two
pieces OF Wadd1ng embedded in the flesh
close to where the fingers join the palm
Further examination only confirmed the
presence Of lcckjaw symptoms, and the
boy was removed to the hospital. During
the night DR.. BoXall was constantly in
attendance upon the little sufferer, but
the boys condition grew worse Yester-
day morning the patients condition was
much worse His Jaws were tightly
locked together and he suffered intensely
he n
hoping some relief might come but as
the disease prcgres sed the case was
realized as utterly hopeless Toward
evening the boy grew weaker, and died
IN his mothers arms shortly after
o'clock.
Alexander Goth, the boys father, lives
on i'ullman avenue, st. Paul park, and is
the superintendent of the Park Presbv
terrain Sunday school The dead boy was
the second of several children.

DR.. Cavanaugh was A1rriedly called
known as Myrtle Madden in e South
Washington street resort, who was be-
lieved to have taken poison. The physi-
clan found the woman in a semi-conscious
condition, but after some labor pronollnce
her out of danger. The symptoms were
those of morphine poisoning, but the
woman claimed to have taken some medi-
cine for the collie
