TINE DRAWS NEAR.
COLE AND JIM YOUNGER WILL SOON
HAVE A HEARING.

The time is approaching when decisive
action must be taken on the matter of
paroling Cole and Jim Younger, confined
at the Saltwater penitentiary. The board
of pardons meets July s, and it is this
body upon which devolves the power and
authority of saying whether or not these
two noted prisoners shall be released
from the cells which have been their
constant abode for twenty-five long years.
The probable action of the board,
which is composed of Gov Van SAINT,
Attorney General Douglas and Chief JUS
tice Start of the state supreme court, is
anticipated with the utmost anxiety on
the part of people of Minnesota as we'll
as many in other states The Youngers
themselves are said to be daily living in
the hope that this meeting will result in
their freedom under the provisions of the
law enacted by the last legislature.
The sentiment is fairly well divided in
Minnesota on the release and retention
of the Youngers. If there is difference
in desire and recent agitation of the
question may be taken as the means of
judging, it probably would be decided
that most of the people of this state
favor the release of these men. AS ex-
pressed through their representatives in
the legislature this year, this was the
sentiment. The belief that the board of
pardons will act favorably upon the rec
concentrations of the board of prisoner
managers that these prisoners be paroled
is quite prevalent, though perhaps with
out any just grounds, since all three of
the officials on this board have Consist
emily refused to disclose any intimation
of their feelings. Chief Justice Start, it
has always been the general impression,
has been very greatly opposed to the re-
lease of the Youngers. But when he
manifested this opposition there was 40
way of releasing them except by an I'M
conditional pardon, and that he would
not accede to. Now the circumstances
are different; there is law by which
the prisoners may be paroled, in which
event they will still remain wards of the
state, subject to the same discipline as
when incarcerated. This gives a different
aspect to the case

FUGITIVE STILL At LARGE
SLIGHT HOPES OFF CAPTURING THE
ESCAPED SOLDIER.

The garrison at Fort Smelling yester-
day continued to search for Frank w.
Parr, the private who made his escape
last Saturday, but up to a late hour the
fugitive had not been apprehended.
In speaking of the escape of Parr,
who was serving sentence for desertion,
the officers at the fort do not attach any
particular blame to Private Westerfield,
who had three prisoners in charge at the
time, all of whom were regarded as
trustworthy. us
AT the time of the escape, Parr and

covered with dense underbrush and shrub

exceedingly difficult, if not impossible
to trail the fugitive. The last seen of
Parr was at point near MENDOZA, and

he is now safely out of reach. Parr was

CNlVALROUS KN1GnT
p1NES I'M SOLITUDE

The cafe of a leading st. Paul hotel
was the scene of a little tragedy or
rather comedy, yesterday afternoon, in
which there figured as principals a very
handsome woman, two well known young
men of this city and a much frightened
negro waiter.
The heroine of the episode is the di-
vorced wife of a travelling man who was
once well and favorably known among
the knights of the grip who frequent
this city. Her pretty face and graceful
figure are often seen in the shopping
district and occasion much elasticity of
the vertebrate on the part of the stronger
sex
1t seems that the lady has a devoted
admirer in the person of a dark haired
and Wide-awake drummer who travels
west Of the Twin Cities for a large Min
neapolis house He is her constant at
tendant and 1t is said that ere many
months transpire the two will be made
one within the precincts of some local
parsonage.
But the travelling man with the bru-
nette disposition has a rival, nOtWith-
standing the rumors Of the impending
alliance. Admirer No. 2 is not a knight
errant but he is also possessed of d
generous amount of admiration for the
fair sex in general, and the DIVORCE in
particular. The lady, so Dame Rumor
has it, thinks a great deal of Admirer
No. 2, which explains her acceptance
of his invitation to lunch at the cafe
yesterday afternoon.
The two entered the dining room at
a little after u o'clock and seated them
selves at table hidden from view by
the curtains which make that place Of
entertainment for the inner man so pop
ular. The ladys companion was evident

LOWEST DEATH RATE OF ANY
CITY OF COMPARATIVE. SIZE
IN THE UNION
TOTAL OF 11s DEATHS IN MAY
Many Die From Violence and Other
Unnatural Causes Which Have No
Actual Rearing on the Health
Giving Properties.

st. Paul can certainly lay claim to be-
ing the most nealthful city for her size
in the United States. This statement is
fully verified by the monthly bulletin
issued by the local health department,
which for May alene- gives a death rate
per LOCO population of only .72l, or, to
make it more explicit, 119 deaths for the
citys $4,000 population.
OF those who have crossed the I'M
known river during May the majority
were over forty years of age and under
sixty their number being given at thir-
ty-fOur. Over that age, twenty-nine an
swered the last call. The still born is
always registered under one year Of age,
and of those who failed in the great
struggle for existence, seventeen were
listed by the health department.
Adding these together, the aged, whose
existence was simply terminated by the
great cycle of time and the babe whose
pUny strength was Slapped ere it was
ushered into the world, a total Of sew
enty-nine is found, ample evidence that
ST. Paul is what she claims to be, the
most healtnful city in the United States.
MANY DEATHS BY VIOLENCE.
May was a notable month in respect
to deaths by violence, no less than eleven
being hurried out of the world without
warning. In the case of four drowning
one murdered and another committed
suicide Two died as the result of sur
gical operations, while another was
killed in a railroad accident. Poison
also got in its work in the case of one.
OF contagious diseases during May 1Z5
cases were reported, of which thirty-ive
were fatal. Consumption, OF in the Ian
guage of the mortality report, tubercu-
Iosis of the lungs, claimed eighteen.
Only three died from diphtheria. There
was also one death from smallpox. OF
constitutional diseases, the report shows
two deaths.

for May siXty-seven We're males and
the remainder females. In respect to

st. Paul is listed with twenty.
While 119 of St. Paul's population have
been credited to the mortality list of
May, a sturdy growth has taken their
places. AS a. recompense for this loss,
25S little st. Paulites have been ushered
into the world. OF this number 1856 were

rooms, IS East Third street, Yesterday
afternoon apparently from the effects of
chloroform administered in connection
with an operation that was to have been

operation would be the only relief. Ar
engagements had been made for the per-
forming of the operation yesterday after
noon. Drs. Gravelle and Turner had been
engaged. Soon after the physicians be-
gan the administration of the anesthetic
the woman suffered a collapse and Dr..

Every effort was made to revive her but
at 5:l5 she died Coroner A w. Miller
was notified and after viewing the re-
mains he decided to hold an autopsy
this morning.

DJSLY COUNT THE COST
WO0DMEN Delayed IN ACCOUNTS
OF THE RECENT NATIONAL
CONVENTION
ALLEGED SHORTAGE OF $4,000
After Summing Up the Various Con-
tributiOns and Expenditures, 1t
Is Impossible to Strike
IL Balance.

Now that the convention is over and
the delegates and visitors have all left
the city, the Woodmen of st. Paul are
clearing away the debris and counting
the cost of the big show. The commit
tee which had the matter in charge is
admitted to have done it's work WELL and
to have labored faithfully to make the
convention a success. 1T was provided
with plenty of funds, and money was
lavishly spent for the entertainment of
delegates and visitors, but in some quar-
tiers it is felt that not all the large sum
collected has been accounted for, and
some slight friction with the committee
seems to be in sight.
According to a statement made by the
chairman, H. A. Munro, 5000 was raised
by the Woodmen themselves the city
council appropriated $4,000 and the bust
ness men of the city contributed between
$4,000 and 5000. This brings the avail
able fund TO about $4,000 In addition
to this, Though, the committee realized
about $500 from a drill exhibition by
Company G., of Duluth, $500 from a vau-
deville show and at least 81, 600 from the
sale of seats III the grand stand at the
state fair grounds aud few hundreds
from the sale of buttons, souvenirs, pro-
grammes, lemonade, etc. This would
swell the aggregate to the neighborhood
of $4,000. Out of this a statement Of
the principal expenses made by Mr..
Munro includes the following items:
Prizes to teams and bands, $1,000; street
Nominations, $3.50; parade and grand
stand, $500; headquarters and parlors.
$500; printing. $500; Auditorium and halls,
$7o0; music, $1,000; souvenirs, S4O0; car
riages. $3.50. These items foot UP to a
little over $1,000, leaving a balance of
over $500 which has not as yet been ac-
counted for. The expenses at Camp
Northcott ere not included in the above
list, but it is contended that they could
not have been very large, as a Mime
apolis firm allowed the use of good
portion Of the land free of charge, and
a caterer paid a good round sum for the
restaurant privileges. Other privileges
also yielded considerable sums. Some of
the tents were rented, others supplied by
the state free of cost
Most of the discontended Woodmen ad-
init that the committee probably has

coin went, but they feel that they are

on June IS. The excursion train will leave
Minneapolis at S:25 and st. Paul at 9:05
and will arrive at Taylor's Falls at II :O5.
The party will be met at Taylors Falls
by the steamer Lora and covered barges
and will be brought back to the cities
by water.
An especial invitation to attend this
picnic has been issued to the sons and
daughters Of territorial pioneers. The
time is near at hand when these old
pioneers will have all passed away and
if the association is to continue to exist,
it must be carried on by the children of
those who were once its active members
With this end III view the association is
now receiving them as honorary mem
bers and they are all urged to attend
this picnic excursion
The excursion party will be accom-
panied by a photographer, who will take
a picture OF the group. This is to be a
historical photograph and the officers of
the association are anxious that all the
members should be present to have their
photos taken in the group.
