USING ALL KINDS OF PAINT.
State Fair People Are Spreading 1t
Over Their Buildings

Considerable work in the line of i'm
provements is being done on the state
fair grounds by laborers carpenters and
painters. New floors have been laid in
the speed barns, and all buildings are
being put in perfect repair. Much paint
Is being Spread and in a few days the
grandstand, speed barns, cattle, horse
sheep and swine barns, as we'll as the
water tanks, blacksmith shops, etc. will
stand bright and fresh with a double coat
of pure white lead and oil paint Trees
are being planted and the driveway and
walks are being put into better condition.
The work of the graders is to be pushed,
and 1t is expected that the new half
mile track will be completed In two or
three weeks. When this work is done
the ground inclosed by the track will he
sodded and put into park condition
These improvements show that the board
Of managers is making good use Of the
surplus left after last years fair and in
tends to keep these magnificent grounds
in attractive and up-to-date condi-

The preliminary work for this years
fair is well under way. The premium

DOwn-POur of Several Hours.
Nothing could have been of more value
to market gardeners and those wishing
green, velvety lawns this summer than the
rain storm of yesterday afternoon and
evening. Though most pedestrians will
agree that the steady, quiet drizzle is OBJ
jectionable, from a foot passenger point
Of view, coming as 1t did and in the vol
ume which it did, its value to the state
could not be estimated. An overcast sky
and gray day with a steady, drenching
rain is the best grass-grower known, and
nowhere is the result seen palmer than
In the lawns of the city, which already
blossom out in a greener coat by reason
of the wash day.
Market gardeners in the suburbs are
planting just at this season and their
embryo cabbages, carrots and potatoes
received a measure of moisture which
will add not a little to quality and flavor.
Said a gardener having a truck patch
in St. Anthony Park, yesterday after
noon, while riding out through the wet
on an interurban car:
"A rain like this is better than a thunder
shower, for it gives the water chance
to soak away, instead of packing the
earth and allowing it to run Off In this
way the soil is thoroughly permeated and
will retain moisture for many weeks
Rain at this season of the year is worth
dollars to the gardeners, as it comes just
at the time when our crops need it most"

DEBTS OF ALLEMANNIA.
Mr.. WeIz's Application Suggests a
Hitch In the Plans.


The application. made to the board of
county commissioners by F. R. Welz, that
a settlement be made by the county for
$1,000 in cash to cover the $40, 900 due from
the Allemannia bank, Is under consider
alton.
When the Allemannia closed its doors
in January, 1897, it had on deposit $25, 900
belonging to the county and $123, 900 Of the
city funds on its books. Receivers were
appointed, and after these officers were
discharged and the bank started on a re-
organization an agreement was made by
which one-fffth of the amounts due the
county and city iwere paid in cash, and
the balance to bee met. with certificates Of
Indebtedness running for four years and
drawing 2 per cent interest.
The county treasury received S., .12 as
the first Of the five payments, and the
city treasury received $24,770.51. The
due and payable to the city and county
next month, are in the hands Of the re-
spective treasurefs.
The application OF, Mr.. Welz, who is
one Of the securities on the bond given
the county by the Bank, would indicate
that there will be, some hitch in the pay
ment of the first certificate due the coun-
ty by the reorgapized bank. In fact Mr..
Welz, in his application, states that the
certificates cannot be paid by the bank
Edward Vanish, president of the reor-
ganized Allemannia bank seen Saturday
evening, said he did not care to discuss
the matter. AS to whether the bank
would again go into the hands Of a re-
ceiver Mr.. Vanish also declined to dis
cuss
The agreement made between the city
and the bank provides that in case Of
failure to pay any of the certificates
given In the settlement action shall be
commenced against the sureties on the
bond given the city for the original de-
given to the city Is due May %. City
Treasurer Horst stated that he had heard
nothing about the possibility of a default
In the payment of the first certificate
given by the bank. The amount still ow-
ing the city is $99.0S2.04.

P1ate Glass windows.
Two young ladies on a tandem wrought

Bird Cycle company's store yesterday
morning and hired a tandem for spin.
After riding around for an hour the two
turned into Wabasha street at Tenth and
started down the line at a spanking clip.
All went we'll until they reached the cor
ner of Wabasha and Seventh, where a
man with bicycle stood in their way.
Miss Egan tried to turn the machine
in order to pass him on the outside and
with the intention of avoiding him; her
companion at the same time gave her
handle bars a wrench. A mix-up fol-
lowed. the tandem striking the rear of
the cyclists wheel and Sheering off made
a line shot for the large window of the
Michaud establishment, facing Wabasha
street. Almost before the young ladies
knew what had happened they crashed
rack of liquors standing behind it in the
window.
officers Smith and Carroll were stand
ing across the street at the time and
rushed to the assistance of the fair
cyclists. After short consultation they
decided that the clip at which the young
ladies came down the street was con-
trary to the statute therein made and
provided, and Officer Smith conveyed the
girls to the station, where they furnished
bond in the sum of $50 each and were
allowed their liberty. They were en-
tered on the station register for reckless
riding and destruction of property.
The name of the man who caused the
accident could not be learned AS soon
as he saw what had happened he mounted
his bicycle and raced down Seventh
street to avoid being questioned. The
window which was broken in the wreck
Is eight by twelve feet, and a valuable
piece of glass. The bottled goods dis

The sermon dealt largely with the his
tory Of Odd Fellowship and its aims Call
ing attention to the3fact that all great
things had their beginning In small ac-
complishments, Rexl Mr. Smith told Of
the institution Of the first lodge of Odd
Fellows and commended the organiza-,
ton upon what it had wrought for good
during Its years Of growth, until it had
become one Of the largest benevolent or
ganizations in the country.
