supper.

The Junior Pioneers of the city held
their regular monthly meeting at Elks'
hall last night, and the social part of it
was most entertaining. The star fea-
ture of the evening was O speech by
James Rosen, the St. Paul Lilliputian
who told Of his experiences since leav-
ing the city. He said that In his travels
he had ice dropped down his back had
been initiated" in half a hundred places,
He was green when he started, but he
thought he had rubbed some of the green
ness off. The first time he met q little
person down east he said: 'Hully ge!
I'm not the only oyster on the beach"
John w. Willis made a brief speech
about what the Junior Pioneers Have
Done for ST. Paul" He thought their
influence was wide felt and their good
work was deserving of commentator.
John w. Clancy told what he knew of,
"The Lilliputian In Politics" His speech,
as was expected, was spicy, and he made
liberal use of the phrase, Little but
Mighty" He thought every man should
make it his business to thoroughly study
the questions of the day, whether little
or big
Albert Dahlquist entertained with a
buck and wing dance, which was very
cleverly executed, and Michael Roller
sang solo about a second-rate board
ing house, which created much laughter
The POSTMASTER of the evening was
Thomas o. Regan. At the conclusion of
the programme, refreshments were served
after the good old fashion of the Junior
Pioneers. Mike Fitzgerald was the
host OF the evening, and his hospitality
was done full justice to by almost a
hundred Of his fellow pioneers
After the supper, an adjournment was
had to the main hall, where story,
song and dance followed in rapid sue
cession, until the small hours were reach
ed.
In the early part of the evening a large
number of candidates for membership
were initiated, and all were called upon
at the social session for either song or
a speech.

AANG|H UNDER WHEELS
TWO LITTLE CHILDREN RUN DOWN
BY FOURTH AVENUE
CAR
ONE OF THEM FATALLY HURT
Lillian Randall and ATmOn Bfxby
Struck While Car Was Back
ing Up-TerrfbIe In
juries Inflicted.

A large Fourth avenue car, in starting
out from the Thirty-frst street station at
6 o'clock last evening, ran down two
children who were in the middle of the
street Both children were caught be-
meath the huge car, and they were far
under it before their cries OF agony
warned the motorman of the fact that
an accident had occurred, and the car
was brought to a stop. Lillian Randall
suffered terrible injuries, both limbs be-
ing badly mangled. The bones of the
limbs were broken in several places. and
large gashes in the flesh inflicted. Her
injuries were declared fatal and she is
rot expected to live until morning. Lit
tie Armon Bixby. her companion. was
more fortunate His right hand was
caught beneath the wheels and badly
crushed, so that it became necessary to
amputate all the fingers with the eXcep-
ton of the index.
The fathers of both children are en-
rloyed at the street railway shops, and
it is believed that they went over togeth-
er to meet them as they left their days
work for home. The accident, however,
would never have happened but for the
fact that the car did not take the switch
at Thirty-first street. The car left the
barn between Thirty-first and Thirty-see-
ond street It continued down to Thirty
first street, where it was to continue over
to Fourth avenue. But last night the
switch did not work and the car con-
tinued car length beyond it down Mic
olIet avenue. 1t then became necessary
to back the car past the switch. The
conductor looked back. and seeing no one
back of the car, gave the signal Slowly
the car started back, and then the con-
ductor and motorman were Mortified at
hearing shrieks The car was immedf-
ately brought to a stop, and the man
gled children were found beneath it. The
only possible explanationof the'accident is
that the children had been standing
alongside the car. and as it started to
back up, had tried to cross. Evidently
they had not anticipated the movement
of the car.

CLUTCHES DID NOT WORK
rsvrsrreArros Rsro CAUSE OF
COURT HoU4E ELEVATOR
AcCfBENT
POOR SAFETY. APPLIANCES
1t Was n Wonder the Cage Did Not
Fall When LIT Was in Regular
Use-Design Too Ancient
to ne Practical.

According to Frank S. Battley, Gus
tod1an at the city hall, it was lucky
thing that the elevator on the south side
of the building fell as it did, and when it
did, last week.
Examination of the cage since its con-
version into kindling wood by the plunge
from the top floor to the basement, has
brought to light the fact that the safety
appliances were woefully defective, the
accident of last week being due to the
fact that the clutches which are techni-
cally known as dogs, did not work. In
fact they had not been in working order
for some months prior to the accident.
AS 1t was, the accident last week mar
rowly escaped from being attended with
fatal results, but the case might have
been different had cable parted when
the elevator was in use week previous,
in daily carrying it's loads of human
freight Because of it's snail-like pace,
the elevator was seldom used by any
number of passengers, and this fact prob
ably accounts for it's failure to fall be-
fore it did.
Custodian Battley is reluctant to allow
the cage to. be again used, and will in a
few days ask for a meeting of the city
hall commission, in order that the matter
may be laid before them 1t will in all
probability result in the purchase of a
new cage of modern design and equipped
with the latest of safety appliances.

SOUATTER HAD TO MOVE
JENS BRUSCHE, OFF NORMAN COUN-
TY, ELECTED BY MARSHALS.

At Twin Valley, Norman county. yes
terday, Deputy United States Marshals
Pcha and Burdc succeeded In ejeOting
Jens Brusche a squatter from sec
ton of land that he has been occupying
for the past twelve years in defiance OF
the United States authorities, who held
that it was the property of the Northern
Pacific Railroad company
Brusche is crusty old character, much
given to threats of what he would do
in the event of an attempt being made
to remove him, and 1t was with consider
able trepidation that the officers tackled
the job. Because of his action on a
former occasion In threatening an Of
ticer with a gun, strengthened by late
threats, the officers could not secure any
and We're compelled to do the Job alone.
Brusche clustered considerably when
told that he would have to move. and
gave fiat refusal but when the officers
returned several hours later, the Stip-
ulated time for him to get cut, Brusche
had departed. bag and baggage. Amid
squalls from the children and tears from
the wife, he had bundled all together,
with his household effects, into a wagon
and left for ether fields.
Frusche is an odd character and has
given the railroad company and the OF
ficers much trouble In their efforts to
induce him to move The railroad COM
pany even went so far as to offer to pur-
chase the ground from him, but he stup-
bornIy refused to sell.

WORK ON new CAPITOL
COMMISSIONERS MEET AND DISCUSS
SEVERAL CONTRACTS.

The members of the capitol commits
sion held meeting at their headquar-
tiers in the Endieott building yesterday
afternoon and informally talked over the
matter Of contracts. One contract is to
be let for the steam heating, ventilat-
ing, plumbing and electric lighting Of
the new state house. Plans were sub
United by Cass Gilbert, architect, but no
interesting information was given out
1t is understood that the contract will
be let In about thirty days.
Another contract Is to be let within the
next six weeks for the granite steps, and
area walls around the building None Of
the members of the commission seemed
to have any idea as to what the con-
tracts would amount to- 1t is partly a
matter of conjecture at present anyway
and 1t would be against business policy
to refer to the cost. Another meeting of
the commission will be held this morn
ing, when the routine business in hand
will be transacted.
The drawings for the interior finishing
Of the building will not be completed for
some time. It is understood that the adj
dftional appropriation of the legislature
of $1,0O0,00O will, in large measure, be
used for the interior decoration and fin
ishing the building. Mural decorations
VIII be In evidence on all sides, and the
corridors will be lined with beautiful
polished stone. The main stairway will
be of marble.

MORE SMALLPOX CASES
SPREAD OFF DISEASE ATTRIBUTED
TO BREAKING UP OF LUM-
Der CAMPS.

AS was anticipated by DR.. Bracken. OF
the state board of health, there has been
an increase in smallpox throughout the
state in the pastIItwo weeks. FROM
March Is to April 49, 424 cases were re-
ported, an increase Of 81 cases, or about
Is per cent over the preceding two weeks
In localities from which the disease was
reported there was an increase Of ., there
being 81 infected townships at the be-
ginning Of the fortnight, and 7S at the
close. t-1y
This spread of the disease is attributed
to the breaking up Of the lumber camps
and the scattering over the state OF the
woodmen who have been living in infect
ed camps This source Of infection will
be felt for two months, when it is hoped
that the disease Win abate and be event
uaIly wiped out Vaccination laws are
being rigidly enforced throughout the
state, and the most careful Quarantine
measures are being inaugurated.
Of deaths in the past two weeks there
were but two, one at Duluth and the
other at Holden The Holden case was
an infant but eight days old, whose
mother was suffering from smallpox at
the time of its birth. Nine deaths were
recorded in the previous report.
Nine cases were reported from ST. Paul.

This collection lis not confined to local
territory but includes all European coun-
tries, and is interesting as much be-
cause of the variety of the relies as for
their intrinsic value.
