ground with his antagonist now, and

Warily, though rapidly, the antago-

their horses elliptically. Swiftly and
silently they rode round and round,
their riatas twisting and Kissing like
coiling snakes in the air above them.

one failed the other would succeed.
Both knew that. Strategy alone could

practice, knew quite as well as their
riders the parts they had to perform.
They remained stock still, straining
upon the ropes and holding them taut
The tableau lasted only an instant,
but it was fraction of time that was
fraught with tremendous excitement.

fruit rinds covering the paving like a
carpet. Seventh street, Wabasha, and in
fact nearly all the business streets had
their quota of dirt, all going to make
a pile that found the force almost in
adequate to the task In order to wash
the asphalted streets this dirt had to
be removed first, or it would have choked
the sewers.
In respect to street cleaning, st. Paul
is as near perfection as any other city

distant date to be able to improve it
by the use of machines that not only
sweep but sack or convey to wagons the
debris that they gather Team hire and
men to load the wagons with SweepingS

least a part of this is eliminated, the
sweeping of the streets will be extended
to take in nearly every thOroughfare in
the city.
DR.. Ohage's admonition, do not spit
or throw fruit rinds on the sidewalk
receives more observance than one would
think, and aids materially in the dissem-
inatiOn of the title In cleaneSt st. Paul.
Because of the little tin signs containing
the request, many throw their fruit rinds

boxes provided. and thus reduce the work
of the street cleaners.

70 b REARG|JED TODAY
WATER BOARD REOPENs FRONT
AGE TAX CASE BEFORE
SUPREME COURT
TWO APPEALS CONSIDERED
st. Paul Park Improvement Conn
pUny's Stockholders Protest
Against Assessments and
Large Claims.

The case which involves the validity
of the st. Paul water frontage tax will
be reargued in the supreme court today.
In the former hearing, last term, the
court decided the tax to be uncOnstitu-
tional, but the water board now hopes to
be able to bring out enough new points
to secure a reversal of the former ruling
of the court.
Two appeals from the judgment of the
Ramsey county district court, bearing
upon the affairs of the Old St Paul Park
Improvement company, were presented
before the supreme court yesterday. one
of these appeals is made by certain
stockholders OF the company w. F.
kirke, w. +. Dadmun, NJ. d. Miller and
j. w. Jaeger, who protest against an
order of Judge Otis allowing claims
against the corporation, amounting to
more than $4,000 In this appeal the cor
poration does not join with the stock
holders named. The claims comprehend
ed by the order of Judge Otis and con-
tested by the stockholders named above
are as follows: London & Northwest
Mortgage company, $1O,421.07; George
Crawshaw, $S,3l9.2O; Ellen G. SAKE,

blity under the law of 1S99 whereby the
receiver, c. w. Farnham, was directed to

few days to begin upon regular packet

Chaska Capt. Withrow is commander
of the boat, and it's business will I'M
doubtedly add to shipping facilities Of
the places on it's line.
So far this season the business along
the river has been unusually active, both
in the regular packet and the excursion
lines. A large number of trips have al
ready been taken by eXcursionists, and
many more are arranged for the future.
Capt. McGray, of the steamer Columbia,
has eighty-six trips yet to make that
are already arranged. The steamer Lora
is also engaged for every date from the
present until July 15,. and there are sew
era1 trips after that date. Both of these
steamers have been making regular ex-
curSion trips 9ll this week on account of
tie Woodmen convention.

Of the Dubuque, which has not been run
ming since she was damaged few weeKs
ago. The Dubuque, whose damage was
light wifi soon be ready for business
again, however, but it is not known
whether she will take her old place or
not.
The stage of water on the river seems
to promise continuation of prosperity for
the rivermen. There has been little or no
change in the stage of water for several
days, and boatmen are hoping that it will
continue to keep up and that the season
will be a long one With the acreage
amount of rainfall for June, there is lit
tie danger of the river reaching a low
point for this month.

INTEREST IN HORSE SHOW
SOME FAST ONES TO BE SEEN AT

The ladies are taking a great deal of
interest in this opening day, and many
will appear behind their horses and pairs
in victorias runabouts and Stanhopes.
The liberal prizes which are offered for
each division of horses Will undoubtedly
bring out a long and fancy string. There
will be no charge for entry and no one
is barred.
In addition to the large number of
exhibition horses to be shown the drivers

worked their best, and most exciting
contests are expected from this exhibit
ton In addition the best stock horses
of the course will be shown and a large
number of outsiders have already mani
tested their intention of being represent
ed in this contest.
Both the mile and half-mile tracks are
in the best of condition, and the accom-
mediation for visitors is excellent. The
their preparations and all is in readiness
for the opening of the summer season,

TO TALK OVER AGAIN.
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHES NOT
QUITE READY TO CONSOLIDATE.

Nothing new has developed in the mat
ter of the Plymouth Congregational
church uniting with some other church
since the last meeting held between the
committees from the Plymouth and Park
Congregational churches last Friday
evening. The date for the next meeting
of the joint committees has not been
definitely fixed as yet, and from the pres
ent outlook it appears very doubtful if
any consolidation can be made. Even if
Plymouth church decides to consolidate,
the chances between the Park Congrega-
tional and the Peoples churches are
about even. a
AS far as considered by the commit
tee from Plymouth church, the question
of union with one of the other churches
has not at all been in the form of a rival
fight between either of the churches The
difficulties of carrying out either one
of the union schemes, however, are so
difficult that it appears to be hard to
accomplish them.
Ever since the agitation was first be-
gun the. sentiment of the members of
Plymouth church seems to have been
growing. steadily in favor of staying
where they are and being alone.
The joint committee will probably meet
the first part of next week, when it is
expected some definite steps will be taken
by the committee, one way or the other

CANNOT INSPECT THE CAR.
Judge Otis Decides on "a Novel
Point Of Law

Judge Otis, in the district court, yes
terday, filed an order in the case Of
Henry NJ. Gray as administrator of the
estate of Charles H. Gray, deceased,
against the City Railway company, de-
nying the application of the plaintiff to
be permitted to make an inspection of the
car which ran down and killed Charles
H. Gray, a minor.
In his memorandum Judge Otis says:
while the application here made is
unusual, if not without precedent,
am not prepared to hold that in a proper
case it is not within the power OF the
court to grant it. But the plaintiff, to
my mind, has failed to make out a proper
case calling into exercise such a power"
