WINONA, Minn.s May 26.-(Special.)-
the local women of Il the eGf E. A. R. are TAX
ing more than usual interest in the ap-
preaching Memorial day, for on that
occasion they will decorate the graves
of not only the departed veterans of Win
ona, but of patriot, who was claimed
by the entire land Abraham Lincoln.
For some time the members of the or
ganiZation in Minnesota have had under
consideration the placing of handsome
silk flag upon the tomb of the martyred
president, and this plan will become a
reality on Tuesday when Mrs. Julia E.
r. Lobdell, of Minneapolis, will drape the
long neglected place and deliver an ap-
propriate address at Springfield
For many years large flag has been
draped about the tomb, but it was an
ordinary affair and the ravages of time
have played havoc with it. The old flag
will be preserved and in it's place will be
suspended the beautiful banner contribut-
ed by the patriotic members of this aux
Hilary order in the. state of Minnesota.

yesterday in connection with the settle
ment Of the estate of julius Brezensky.
formerly a well-to-do resident of Min
neapolis, who died a few years ago. At
the time of his death no will could be
found and In the course of things the
heirs applied for letters of administra-
ton, with the view of distributing the
property Recently will was discov-
cred, by the provisions Of which the two
sons of the deceased by his first and d.
vorced wife were bequeathed $1,000 each,
the interest from which was to go to the
latter, the remainder of the estate being
willed to his second wife and widow. In
the will, however, a. doubt Is expressed
as to the legality of the marriage with
his last wife, although he requests the
union be regarded in all things as regu-
lar and the children as legitimate.

won BY ST. PAUL BOYS
CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES
VICTORIOUS IN THE INTER-
SCHOLASTIC CONTESTS
CUP WON TWICE SUCCESSFULLY

! Minneapolis Central Representa-
tives Were the Nearest Competit-
ors, With Forty-One Points,
While the Winners Secured Sew
enty - Griffith Breaks the Broad
Jump Record and Francis That
for Heavy Hammer Throwing.
For the second successive year the st.
Paul Central high school carried off the
cup at the seventh annual field-day held
yesterday afternoon on the state fair
grounds under the auspices of the North
western Interscholastic Athletic associa-
ton The Minneapolis Central high school
boys scored only Al points, as against the
70 points of the winners, and the Duluth
high and other schools also ran. 1t was
an overwhelming victory for the big in
stitution over which President Bryant
presides, and 1t was celebrated with a
tin horn jollification last night that awal1-
ened echoes that have been slumbering for
years
All of the events were closely contested,
and In two instances records were shat
tered Griffith, of the Minneapolis Cen
trail high school carried off the honors
in the broad jump, by clearing twenty
feet and topping by five inches the record
made last year by O'Brien, of St. Paul.
Francis Of the same institution, also
shattered a record by throwing the
underground hammer 1877 feet, as against
the best previous record of 122 feet and
3 inches.
The weather conditions were excellent,
and the contestants were, as a rule, in
fine form. The grand stand was crowd
ed with an excitable throng that included
large delegations from Minneapolis and
Duluth, and the air was kept filled with
variegated school yells that lent encour-
agement to the contestants. Mounted po-
lice maintained order on the track and
prevented the crowd from surging out
and interfering with the contests 1t was
after s o'clock before the last Of the
events was concluded, owing to the long
programme and the unusually large num-
Der of entries.
In the half-mile walk Warner, of the
ST. Paul Central high school, was first
and all the other contestants were dis
qualified for running. In the one-mile
bicycle race Bruce, of Minneapolis, finish
ed first, but was ruled out for glancing
back just before crossing the tape and
the first and second in consequence went
to Fry and Croft, of the st. Paul Central
high school. One of the trial heats in the
230-yard hurdle was tie between Metz
ger and Clapp, both of whom were quail
fed for the final in which both were
placed.
The total of points was as follows: ST.
Paul Central high, 70; Mechanic Arts
high, 3; Cleveland high, 1; Humboldt high,

DETROIT. Mich, May 26.-American
freight service was severely criticised to-
day in the convention of the Winter
Wheat Millers league The occasion was
a discussion of delays in transit by the
millers- and representatives of the fore gn
flour markets, steamship lines and inland
carriers. That. there seems unnecessary
delay in the shipping of grain all agreed
but fixing the responsibility was not so
easy.
Thomas e. Haslam, of the London -Four

exports would increase rs to so per cent
If the delays were remedied.
A committee was appointed to confer
on the subject with representatives of the
steamship lines, and to represent the

WANT DAMS TO STAY.
Illinois River Shippers Fighting the
Chicago Drainage Canal.

CHICAGO, July ga special to the Rec
ord from Peoria ILL.,. says: The federal
government is to be asked to stand between
the sanitary district Of Chicago and the
state dams across the Illinois river. at Hen
ry and Copperas creek. The shipping inter-
ests of the river, backed by the steamboat
men of st. Louis. are preparing petition
to lay before Major w. L. Marshall. the
United States engineer at Chicago, who has
charge of the navigation of the Illinois riv-
er. asking him to urge the secretary of war
to prevent the sanitary district trustees
from removing the state dams. If this order
should be issued by Secretary of War AL
ger the question of the removal of the state
dams would break into Congress. The law
under which the sanitary district of Chi
cago was created requires that the state
dams at Henry and Copperas creeks shall
be removed before any water shall be
turned into the main drainage channel of
the sanitary district. If the federal govern
ment intervenes TO prevent the sanitary dis
trict trustees from carrying out the provi-
sions of the drainage act a strict construc-
ton of that section of the law which re-
lates to distractions In the Illinois river
would retard the opening of the sanitary
channel until Congress or the Legislature
came to the relief of Chicago"

WILL ASSIST OTIS.
Prof. Worcester and Colonel DENLY
to Remain in the Philippines.

NEW YORK, July Ga special to the
Herald from Washington says: 1.-THE depart
ure of President Schurman will leave at Ma
Mia three members Of the commission
Major General Otis, Prof. Worcester and
Colonel DENLY. 1t will be the duty Of the
two last named to continue the work of
establishing home rule within the lines held
by the American troops in the hope that
the example will be followed by Fflpinos
outside of the lines, and show them the be-
peficent purposes of this government Prof.
Worcester and Colonel DENLY will also aid
General Otis in the conduct of any peace
negotiations which may follow future opera
lions of the American troops. Mr.. Schur-
mans dispatch is on the whole very encour-
aging and the authorities much gratified
at the conditions he reports having found
at the points visited. 1t Is evident from
believes the suppression of Aguinaldo's in
surrection means the establishment of peace
throughout the archipelago. He is confident
that many of the people throughout the
southern islands do not openly express them
selves in favor of an American protectorate
solely because OF their fear OF Aguinaldo
and his Tagal army. Mr.. Schurman speaks
well Of the Sultan of Sulu, and it is evident
that he feels that there Is no danger of trou-
BILE from him in case the United States OBJ
serves the treaties which exist between him
and the Spanish government. Mr.: Schurman
makes a number Of recommendations re-
garding home rule for some of the southern
islands. and that they will probably be
adopted by the President. The conditions
in Negros were found to be of a highly sat
isfactory character by Mr.. Schurman, and
home rule will undoubtedly be given imme-
diately TO the people of that island, although
some notifications in the plan of govern
ment they submitted to the president of the
commission were necessary before they re-
ceived his approval
