TENTH STREET PAYING
WILL BE FIRST THIS SPRING
Amount to BE Done This Year De.
Is ponds on Fate of the
$50 Bonds. eH

! Paving operations this year will begin
with the stretch on Tenth street be-
tween First and Park avenues. City En-
gineer Sublette has been informed that
the creosoted wooden blocks are ready
for shipment from Chicago. He will
wait for settled weather before begin
hing work. -
If the supreme court decides that the
paving bonds are legal there will be a
good deal of paving done this year, other
wise the amount will be considerably less
than the average for the past three or
four seasons. Among the stretches pretty
sure to be paved this season are Nicollet
avenue from Thirteenth street to Grant
street, First avenue n between Fifth
and Seventh streets. three or four blocks
on Twentieth avenue N starting from the
river. Alderman Lane will probably in
sist upon at least two blocks more of
sandstone having for University avenue.
The present plans call for another post
ponement Of the long contemplated paw
ing of Eighth street, between Hennepin
and Nicollet avenues.
Hennepin Needs Paving.
Residents along Hennepin avenue be-
tween Tenth street and Harmon place are
preparing to take an emphatic stand for
paving this spring. Alderman Merrill.
of the Fourth ward who is member OF
the paving committee, will be with them.
The Bond Issue.
The question of the legality of the paw
ing bonds WILDE argued and dectded> al
the April term of the supreme court.
The curative act recently passed by the
legislature does not in any practical way
affect the issue. 1t in no wise helps to
establish the validity OF the bonds, attor-
neys say.
50 Cycle Path Problem.
A meeting of the bicycle path commit
tee of the city council has been called fol
Friday afternoon. General plans for the
extension of cycle paths will be consid-
ered.- City Engineer Sublette announces
that he will proceed at once to put the
present paths in a partial state OF repair
until the weather becomes more settled

ICE IS DISAPPEARING
,ToNKA WILL SOON BE OPEN
High Temperature for Month 81 Ds-
grees-The Robins Have
Come.

Lake Minnetonka will probably be open
for navigation in a few days. II 1t should
be, all records for early opening since
1878 will be broken. There is quite a
bit of water aaong the shore and the ice
is reported to be rotten" more than two
thirds through and Is sure to disappear
very soon. 1t is said by old-tmers that
although spring was early in 1878, 1857
carries the record.
The earliest spring that County Sur
veyor George w. Cooley can remember is
that OF 1878. twenty-five years
ago yesterday he remarked to-day, 1.-The
steamer Rambler steamed away from the
wharf at Excelsior and made the trip to
Wayzata-"
March Weather to Date.
The highest temperature thus far this
month was 81 degrees, registered yesser-
day. This was preceded by IS on Sun
day and 81 on Monday. The following
maximums show that as yet the weather
has not beaten former records: 1891.
40; 1892. Sc: 1893. 81: 1894, rs; 1895, 70;
1896. So; 1897, 81: 1898, 81; 1899. 81; 1900.
81; 1901, IS.
For the eleven days OF this month the
lowest temperature has been 10 degrees,
March 2, the mean maximum II, and the
mean minimum 26. The mean tempera-
ture has been 3s, that of previous years
for the 81 DAYS has been 81 in 1894 and
S5 in 1895. Although March for eleven
days makes a good showing. the remain
ing days record may pull it down.
The snow and ice bulletin states In the
central Missouri river district and the
upper Mississippi valley there is less zee
than at the corresponding date OF last
year, but decidedly more in the lake re-
gion and to the eastward. In New Eng
land and in the lake region there is lesa
snow this year. but in Minnesota and the
Dakotas PARTS are covered with from ono
to five inches more snow than year ago.
The First Robins.
Robins have shown I'D in considerable
numbers this week in various parts OF tns
city. Alderman A. S. Adams says ne en-
tertained the first one OF the season At
his place near Minnehaha Sunday.

A FRIGHIFUL FALL
Mary Nelson's Head Was Driven.
Through the Floor.
HER RECOVERY IS DOUBTFUL
She Plunged Four stories Down q
Light Well, Crashing Through
Two Skylfghts.

Mrs. Mary Nielsen of Markvtlle, Lake
Mime tonka, was literally scalped In
\ frightful accident at the Market hotel,
First street and First avenue n, at 9:SV
8. M yesterday. She fell headlong into
light we'll from the fourth story, crashing
through two heavy glass skylignts. me
force of the fall was SO great that her
head was literally driven through the
boards which stopped her. and they had to
be cut to release her. Her scalp was al
most torn from the head, her nose was
broken, her face was horribly bruised,
and she may have sustained serious, II
not fatal, internal injuries. She was tax
en- to the city hospital, where she lam
guished during the day in an exceedingly
precarious condition. 1t is not known
whether she can live.
Mrs. Nelson went to work at the hotel
this morning about Z o'clock. She was
assigned by the proprietor, D. L. Rice, to
do the spring cleaning and commenced on
the fourth floor. Nothing was seen of
her from the time she went upstairs until
her body crashed through the skylights
into a small room occupied as pantry,
just off the dining-room.
1t Is believed, however, that she
stepped outside the window in the room
where she was at work, intending to stand
on the sill and clean the window on the
outside, and that she lost her balance.
between the nrst and second stories there
was another skylight and the glass and
framework of these ratified down upon
the body as 1t lay PROSTATE on the floor.
The head had struck first and was driven
clear through the floor, from which a por-
ton had to be cut before the woman
could be removed. The patrol wagon was
called and on the way to the hospital the
woman was delirious, and it was neces-
sary tor several officers to hold her.
When they reached the hospital she was
very weak from the loss Of blood and un-
conscious.
Mrs. Nielsen is the wife of John Nielsen,
and lives on small farm at Markville.
She is the mother of seven children,
whose ages range from to IS years. She
is 46.

HIS YEAR IS ENDED
Happy Jack From the Woods Re-

HE'S GETTING RID OF HIS MONEY
When That's Gone, He'll Take
One of Many Jobs
.1, offered. $3.50

The lumberjacks are returning to town.
Scores Of men employed in the woods dur
ing the winter arrived this morning.
They say that many camps are aban-
doned, and that whole crews are being
discharged. The snow, and ice have prac-
tically disappeared and millions of feet
of logs have been left on sleds in inacces-
sible camps. Hundreds Of hands are
expected in Minneapolis before the end Of
the week.
Labor Demand Good.
Local labor marts are busy. Railroad
J and other contractors who plan to begin
construction work as soon as the weather
will permit, are already placing their
orders and it is expected that the de-
mand will be unprecedented this season
Spring work in the city is we'll under way
now, the frost having been out of the
ground for several days.
With the influx of laborers from athe
lumber camps, the lower town streets
where there are. numerous employment
agencies are again crowded with mer

NO CHARGES YET
Louis Richter's Statement of .Statu
of His Case I'm Presbytery.

of Hiss Case I'm Presbytery.
Louis Richter has made the following
statement regarding the status of his case
in the Minneapolis presbytery which is to
come up for trial soon:
Many OF The our a i readers, no
doubt, fail 10 understand why so much ado
is made over the Richter CASE by Mime
apolis presbytery. For the Information of
such I want to say that so far there is no
charge of any kind but only difference OF
opinion between presbytery and myself con-
corning the lest method Of promoting tenn
peranoe among the people,. MY views are
clearly set forth in my pamphlets and news
paper articles. When the committee shall
have accomplished their arduous task Of
formulating and reporting charges those who
are interested in the controversy will decide
on the merits of the case, according to their
likes or dtslikes. Convictions, which are
the fruit of sound reasoning, cannot be stifed
by arbitrary dictum.

WILL ORDER RESTORATION
Railway Commissioners Have Acted
on Distributing Rates.

on Distributing Rates.
The railroad and warehouse commission
late yesterday agreed upon the substance
of communication to be sent, to the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
relative to the re-esta blishment of dis
tributing rates to Fargo, Grand Forks and
Crookston. The communication will be
handed to the railroads this evening.
The commissioners declined to state the
contents, but The Jo.urnal can say
with authority that the commission will
order the restoration of rates.; The COM
promise arranged between the railroads
and wholesale grocers, which was
threshed over at the public hearings few
days ago, is evidently unsatisfactory to
the commission.
