FIRST PICNIC OF EAGLES
OLD-FAsHToNED BARBECUE IS THE
CENTRAL FEATURE.

The first annual picnic and barbecue
given by the st. Paul Eagles at Inver
Grove yesterday proved huge success
and was attended by nearly 10000 peo-
pie. The crowd was so great that even
with the extra train service all of the
cars were crowded. The feature of the
day was the barbecue, and most OF the
meat was all gone before 5 o'clock in the
afternoon, The committee on arrange
ments did everything in its power to en-
terrain the people and all had a good
time. remarkable thing was the fact
that there were no fights to mar the
pleasures of the day. A large sum Of
money was realized, and this will be used
in entertaining the Eagles at their ma
tional convention in the Twin Cities next
year. Gardeners full uniformed band
furnished the music for the dancing.
Owing to the immense crowds only two

AS was stated in the G l o 10 yester
day new developments will take place
in the case of Ramsey countys abscond-
ing commissioner, George B. Whitehorna,
this morning, providing Gov. Van SAINT
reaches the city from his visit South.
These developments, as the G b e ex-

an official Investigation, which will be
ordered by the governor. This is to be
undertaken by the commission, which
the governor will announce today. in the
event of his arrival. This commission
will be invested with power to conduct
a full and complete inquiry into the af-
fairs of the missing official in his rela-
ton to the county and state. And upon
the decision of this commission, which
will be based upon its findings, Mr..
Whitehorn may be expelled from Office.
This is a matter Which has been await
ed with the utmost interest on the part
of all those who are interested in the
outcome of the WhitehOrne case Gov.
Van SAINT has been indirectly importuned
at various times TO hasten the appoint
ment Of his commission so that the in
vest iga ton could be commenced, but for
substantial reasons the executive deemed
it wise to proceed slowly in the matter.
Progress has not been so greatly retard-
ed, however as might appear. Coy.
Van SAINT decided number of days ago
to take action upon the charges filed
by County Attorney Kane, but for OBJ
vious reasons it was decided to keep
the matter a secret until the day upon
which the commission was to be an

the public was consequently informed Of

commission have practically been deter

are men who. it is asserted, will be

it is hoped thai q most satisfactory result
may be obtained. No limitations will

members of the county commission and
the other county officials may be cited
to appear and state what they know
regarding the mysterious man and his

PLACER GOLD MINING
ALEXANDER MKENZIE SAYS PLA-
GER is NOT FROM A LEDGE
After Thirty Years OF Practical Elk
perience, North Dakota Is Ably
Prepared to Defend
His Theory.

Placer mining formed the subject of
some very interesting remarks last night
by Alexander Mckenzie, the North Da-
kota politician, who is at present making
his headquarters in this city at the Mer-
chants hotel Like almost all others
who have had to do with ilching the
white and yellowymetals from the bosom
of Mother Earth, Mr.. Mckenzie is bound
to the occupation by that unexplainable
magnetism which it seems to exert and
finds no greater pleasure when little
leisure time is at his command, than to
sit down and discuss theories new and
old concerning this great industry. He
is one of those hwho though not now
engaged in probing the earth for gold
or silver, keeps Steadily apace with the
progress Of the mining world and is
the originator of some very advanced
ideas upon the Subject of placer min
ing.
so many miners contend that where
ever placer deposits exist they are
washings from some neighhoring ledge, y
SAID Mr.. Mckenzie, to a group OF
friends at the hotel. 81 am convinced, -
he continued, that placer and tone fiS-
sure deposits are not identical, and that
placer gold does not necessarily come
from any ledge. Ages since placer gold
was deposited in the hills or at their
DeboS ny LIE ACTION OIL nature anu quite
independent from any ledge formation
AS the waters tore their way through
the hills these minute particles were
disintegrated by the wash of the water
and the sands and carried to the lower
sand areas It is almost universal for
placer miners to follow up the streams
where they find placer gold in the de-
lusive hope of locating the mother lode
from which they imagine the placer
comes. But can anyone recall a single
instance in which this fond hope ever
bore fruit?
''I am satisfied after thirty years of
close observation and study that placer
deposits are and have always been en-
tirely distinct from what is technically
known as ledge matter. That is, where
gold is found in quartz or granite forma-
tons. You may say that my theory is
not correct, but can you dsprove it?
I am satisfied it is mere than a theory,
that it is, in a werd, fact beyond
dispute

One of the most striking and interest
ing features proposed for the Louisiana
purchase centennial celebration at St
Louis in 1903 is the 'children's building"
building devoted exclusively to the
amusement and instruction of children
The architecture of this building is to be
replete with Sculptural groups repre-

hood, not only of our own nation-of the
Anglo-SaXon race-but Of all nations 1t
is the intention to make this building

equaled and never to be forgotten Mr.
Charles Dexter, a gentleman Interested
IN the proposed ''children's building at
the st. Louis worlds fair, in a letter
addressed to the president of the Lou

says:
