Prominent Lawyers Say the Speaker

There is a possible chance that the

now on loot to that end and in it friends

To the Eady followers of the new Sew

TO PREACH IN EUROPE
REV. NICHOLAS BOLT, FORMERLY
OF BETHLEHEM PRESBY-
TERRAIN CHURCH
Charge at Chicago Resigned to Ac-
cept Lucrative Passionate in
Famous LuganO, SwItz-
erland.

Rev Nicholas Bolt formerly pastor of
the Bethlehem Presbyterian church, of
this city, but latterly of Chicago, is now
in st. Paul on farewell visit. Mr.. Bolt
has accepted a can to the church at Lu-
gano, Switzerland, and will sai1 on the
Patricia for Europe July 20
Lugano is the most famous of the many
famous lake resorts of Southern Switzer-
land, and the church to which Mr.. Bolt
is called is large one and the pastorate
a privileged position. The minister was
deeply loved by his congregation in st.
Paul, and when he went to Chicago a few
years ago to assume the pastorate of
st. James Evangelical church there his
loss was keenly felt Since that time he
has made frequent visits to st. Paul. and
has had the satisfaction of seeing the
work so we'll begun by him continue to
prosper. The Chicago church has also
greatly prospered under his passionate, but
last year Mr.. Bolt was compelled to
travel in Southern Europe because of a
persistent throat trouble. President
Grove, of Wilton college, is at present
pastor of the Chicago church.

VALUABLES IN OFFICE OF BOARD
OF PUBLIC WORKS UN-
PROTECTED
WOODEN CABINET HOLDS $25, 900
Board Has No Vault Room, and Must
Trust to Providence for
Care of It's DOcu-
ments

Inc utter insuf1ciency of vault room
in some of the offices in that stately
pile of stone and brick known as the
city nall and court house. is shown by
the fact, that in the rooms occupied by
the board of public works, a small wood
en- pigeon holed cabinet holds certified
checks and other valuable documents to
the value of over $4,000 unprotected
from fire CIR theft
During night and when the room is
not occupied an ordinary wooden door
and a common lock separates these
valuables from the outer world, while
as to fire. there are no precautions, UNI
less it be a few decrepit iron shutters
on the windows, which are closed night
ly.
Recognizing the value of the docu-
ments and checks daily placed in their
care, the members of the board have
made repeated requests, both TO the
city hall and court house commission
and the council for some protection N
the way of vault or a burglar proof
safe, but no success has attended their
efforts. Even the grand jury was ap-
priced of the conditions and asked to in
tervene.
The checks in question, and Of which
the board is now the custodian of nearly
$4,000 worth, are those which accom-
pany bids. They represent in value from
500 to $500, and even more, each They
are all certified checks and easily ne
gotiapie, and to some slick fingered gen
tleman would prove rich haul AS to
fire, the present unprotected condition
would assure their quick destruction and
wipe out from sight evidence that would
cause much trouble to the city and the
owners. Filed with each check is the
bid and bond of the contractors.
While these checks represent a none
tary value that possibly might be recov-
cred in case of loss, only after much
trouble, the Offices of the board are also
a stOrehouse for documents and instru-
ments concerning city improvements
that date back many years. In case of
fire their loss would be practically ir-
reparable.
At the next meeting of the city hall
and court house commission another APP
pLcation will be made for either vault
room or a burglar proof safe.

NURSERY TO BE BUILT
DRS. WHITCO8IB AND OHAGE AR
RANGE FOR HARRIET ISLAND
PAVILION
BY POPULAR SUBSCRIPTION
Citizens Will BE Asked to Subscribe
for the Fresh Air Havoa-
Bank Advances
Money.

Drs. Whitcomb and Ohage yesterday
decided that the pavilion for a day
nursery on Harriet island should be
built at once and have accordingly ar
ranged for its immediate erection.
Money from the general fund as at
first contemplated is impossible, owing
to the fact that the fund is exhausted
and instead the money will be raised by
subscription, every one contributing a
dollar being presented with a silk rib
bon adorned with a baby's head and
bearing the words, Il have! Have you?t
That the work may not be interfered
with. Drs. Whitcomb and Ohage have
arranged with a local bank to supply the
funds, The plans for the building are
being prepared by City Engineer Claus
sen and contemplate a one-story struc-
ture with a wide veranda all around it.
Assistant Corporation Attorney Stob-
bart enjoys the distinction of being the
first to contribute a dollar for one Of
the souvenir ribbons
The building will front the river and
will be screened in so as to protect the
children from insects. The mortuary
report for June shows that out of 12o
deaths forty-five were children under
five years of age. This alone, DR. Ohage
says, should be an incentive to furnish
st. Paul chi--ren with play ground
where they can be given pure air and
lots of freedom.

BACK FROM THE ISLAND
SOLDIERS OF THE FORTY THIRD
PASS THROUGH ST. PAUL
Some Interesting Experiences on
Tap, in Which "a Loyal Pup
Holds the Center of
the Stage.

Several companies of the Forty-third
regiment, U. S. v, who were recently
mustered out at Manila, passed through
ST. Paul yesterday. They were on their
way home from the coast a majority
having enlisted from Maryland, New
York, Pennsylvania and other Eastern
states
The members of this regiment expert
enced some very severe service in the
Philippines during the past two or three
years, having participated in a number
of engagements, and in one charge Com
pany II lost twenty-five men and Off
GERS out of thirty-two men who entered
the fight
Among the passengers on the train who
was not ticketed was Skip" a fox ter
rier, the mascot of the Forty-third regi-
ment, and who has passed through many
thrilling experiences while with the
troops in Luzon.
His intelligence and experience may be
considered as especially remarkable.
According to c. B. Llvermore, a prom
inent real estate dealer of Seattle, who
accompanied the troops as far as st.
Paul-Iearning the history Of the dog
while en- route-"skip" was owned by
H. Heron, of Laconing Md, and, when
his master enlisted, he was taken along,
and at once was adopted as the mascot
of the company.
ION the way over he stood the perils
of the sea in fine shape, and on reaching
Manila at once showed that he pos
sessed all of the fighting qualities dis
played by his superiors in arms. After
his arrival Skip went on a tour of in
spection, being lost for over week, and
when he returned was almost minus an
eye, which had been gouged out during
a fight with a monkey.
He was in every engagement fought by
his company and during a battle would
run from one end of the line to the
other, his sharp bark being heard far
above the charge yell of the troops. He
soon became the pet Of the soldiers, shar-
ing with them their bareback and any
portion of choice food that was passed
around from time to time. Being of a
temperate turn of mind he could not be
induced to use tobacco or liquor, but
just the same he became very fond of
"beno" a drink made from rice, and he
was never known to be knocked out by
the seductive beverage.
During a burial, at the muff1ed roll of
the drum, he would get up and walk
very sedately to the grave as mournful
as the occasion demanded, but as soon
as the return march was begun would
manifest his joy by a series of banks in
accord with the Quickened music. He
was also a useful canine, as he would
carry the companys mail, and when the
trumpeter was on guard Skip would go
to the barracks to fetch his trumpet
On the return home all dogs, birds and
animals were sent from the ship, but
Skip was struggled on board in Dag,
and he never emitted murmur. many
tales OF his astuteness being related
while on the way over.

James Z. Kelly, garnishee, in which ii =
motion OF the latter to he dis hsrgeB q

Incidentally an important question IS
involved, relative to the will of thu f...
Rev Father Shanahan. who formerly, me-
siaed over a Catholic parish at Gale
donna, and upon his death he left his
property to Bishop Cotter of The Wfnora
diocese, with instructions that it be used
In the education Of priests.

The question involved upon this mo-

an open one in this state should have
little hesitation in UNFOLDING the VIII.
for the weight of authority in other
courts Is clearly upon that SIDE, but after
much consideration / am forced 90 the
conclusion that the question Is covered by
the decisions Of the supreme court ~
this state, and that the provisions Of The
will are invalid under our statutes Of
uses and trusts. Under this statu tfe
beneficiary of the trust must be certain
or capable Of being rendered certain. The
benehciaries Of the trus, In the case or

can be none, who can enforce the trust

to make, but as the county does not do
a credit business the payment of the
money is demanded at once.

.EXCAVATINC GOOD ROCKS
TING ABUNDANCE OF BLUE
LIMESTONE
Much of what Is being Taken Out
Can Be Used Again for
the FOunda-
tiOns.

In the excavations for the new county
jail at Fourth and st. Peter streets the
contractors are realizing handsomely in
one respect and that is in the securing
OF an excellent quantity of building
stone, much of which will enter into the
construction of the foundation of the
new building
The rock which is being taken out is
of the blue limestone variety and very
hard. The grain is quite straight and
permits its removal in large slabs. The
claim is made that sufficient good stone
Will be secured to more than pay for
the excavations.
Unlike the previous site where a
muscular laborer and a sharp pointed
steel drill assisted in reducing the stone
to fragments. steam drill is now used,
expediting the work greatly and permit
ting the removal Of the stone in large
slabs Small charges of gun powder
assist in the operation
Owing to the hardness of the stone,
the work Of excavating hole the size
demanded by the specifications is a big
job and it will be several weeks before
it is completed.
