OBSERVE M'kINLEY DAY
sUPT. OLSEN WILL URGE MINNIE
sofa TEACHERS TO ASSIST.

State Supt. ]. w. Olsen will in a few
days, issue a circular letter calling upon
all school superintendents and teachers
to hold memorial exercises on Jan. g,
which is to be observed throughout the
country generally as Mckinley day. The
superintendent in his letter, VIII suggest
that the pupils be asked to contribute a
few cents each to help erect the proposed
Mckinley monument at Canton.
The superintendent limits the amounts
of these subscriptions to 10 cents for
each pupil, and Is cents for each fanny,
in order that no child shall be embar-
rassed by not being able to contribute as
much as his classmates. Mr.. Olsen feels
that Minnesota should not be behind the
other states Of the Union in this respect
and is confident that the appeal will be
responded to with enthusiasm, and will
result in Minnesota contributing its just
share to the nations tribute to its mar
tyred president.
It is likely that an especial effort will
be made in the Twin Cities to raise a
goodly sum for this purpose as neither
city has thus far contributed as much
to the memorial fund as has been eX-
pected. 1t is said that Duluth has given
more than st. Paul and Minneapolis COM
bined. Great interest has been mani
tested throughout the state, especially in
the country districts.

PIPE OF PEACE is READY
NORMAL BOARD WILL TRY TO
SMOKE 1T TODAY.

The state normal board will meet to-
day at the state capitol and make an
effort to find itself, after a general dis
cUssion OF the late decision by the SUI
preme court and its meaning What the
normal board will do cannot be sur
missed, but there is likely to be con-
siderable difficulty at arriving at a de-
cislon as to it's future relations with the
board of control. 1t is probable that
the board of control will be asked to meet
with the normal board in an attempt to
reach a working agreement between the
two bodies.
1t is said that some of the normal
board members, Director Phelps among
them, are in favor of fighting the mat
ter at greater length to determine lust
where the financial control of the board
of control ends, and where the normal
boards duties begin. It seems to be the
general sentiment of the board, how
ever, that the proper thing TO do now is
to fall in line as gracefully as possible,
and work in harmony with the board of
control until the next legislature gets
chance to remedy the defects il the law.
The board will consider many important
matters at today's session, among them
the acceptance Of the new school build
ing at Duluth, and the question of the
date for opening that institution.

AT JERUSALEM IN 1904
INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTION MAY GO THERE.

Rev. George r. Merrill, a member Of
the International Sunday school Conven-
ton programme committee, has just re-
turned from meeting at Chicago. He
reports an attractive programme for the
Denver convention, opening June 26. The
foremost Sunday school workers from
the United States and Canada will
speak. The programme is in the forma-
tive stage, and will not be made public
until next month.
The railroads have granted a rate of
one fare plus 81. 1t is expected that
10000 delegates from the United States
and Canada will attend. The delegates
are appointed by the state conventions,
and are double the congressional dele
cation in number. Already special
trains from Boston, Philadelphia, Chi
cagO and st. Louis have been arranged
for.
The convention is trienniaI, and if the
st. Louis exposition is not postponed
until 1905 Minneapolis can probably have
the next meeting if proper steps are
taken. The Commercial clubs attention
has been called to the matter.
DR.. Merrill states that the Denver con-
vention will appoint a lesson committee
to arrange the international course for
the next six years. The present schedule
will run two years, which will allow the
new committee twelve months to settle
down to work. One of the most interest
ing features Of the Denver meetings will
be the discussion of the lesson systems
and of the prospect of improving upon
the present scheme.
At the Chicago meeting just closed a
suggestion was made that the next
worlds convention be held in Jerusalem.
This met with immediate approval, and
correspondence will be entered upon with
English workers, and the proper persons
in Jerusalem. DR.. Merrill believes that
no proposition would excite more enthu-
siasm through the Christian world than
the proposal to hold a Sunday school
convention at Jerusalem in 1904.
1t is not likely that distance will in
terfere much with the attendance. The
American delegation, probably number
ing 600, would charter a steamer, and
both England and Germany would send
many representatives. 1t Is believed
the convention would number at least
5000 delegates.

GAR RUNS into WAGON
INTERURBAN TRAIN BUMPS FRED
LINDHOLMS VEHICLE HARD.

A wagon belonging to Pratt's express
was struck by an interurban car at the
east end of the University avenue bridge,
over the Minnesota Transfer, about 6SG
o'clock last night, and the driver, Fred
Lindholm, was painfully bruised about
the back. He was taken to his home, 67S
Forest street, and attended by DR..
Spates. No other damage was done and
the horses escaped uninjured.
Lindholm was driving across the bridge
and another team, driven by J. Decker,
SOB Kittson street, was just ahead. They
had reached the east end Of the bridge
when an east-bound interurban car bump
ed into the rear end of the wagon on
which Lindholm was riding. Among the
articles on his wagon as a desk, and he
was leaning on it. The sudden jar threw
him off his feet and against the desk
with such force that he was rendered
helpless. He received several bruises
about the shoulder blades. Decker the
driver of the wagon which was ahead,
escaped without injury.

BOARD TO INVESTIGATE
JUDGE GOULD SAYS RED WING
MATTER WILL BE LOOKED INTO
Little Hope, However, That Board
OF Control VIII BE Able
to Do Any
thing.

Judge o. B. Gould, of the state board
of control, in discussing the alleged
abuses at the Red Wing state training
school, says:
Il, in company with another mem
Der Of the board, visited Red Wing
last week, but our visit had nothing to
do with the alleged cruelties. We were
making our regular monthly visitation
to the school. The board will, how
ever, at the earliest possible moment,
although all OF the cases spoken of
transpired previous to the existence
of the board of control. This will not
deter us from making inquiries into
the matter in order that it may be de-
termined whether there are any of those
whose names are associated with
the troubles stiH in the employ of the
state at Red Wing, and also to discover
if the alleged abuses did actually, oc-
cur, or if the whole thing is merely a
fabrication 1t is stated that quite
number of those connected with the re-
ported outrages are no longer connected
with the institution, in which case, of
course, the board will have no authority
over them
Speaking of the normal board controv-
ersy, Judge Gould says:
Tine board has received no commune
cation from the normal board as yet, but
it is understood that the latter board will
meet in st. Paul Tuesday of the present
week, at which time it is probable that
some arrangements will be made for the
future working of the two boards. Since
the decision of the supreme court the
state board of control has done little
normal work, aside from the considering
of estimates that were handed in during
the period of uncertainty. There were
about six weeks during the time when
the decision of the court was pending
that the state board did no normal
work aside from the granting Of sal
aries, all other estimates being hung
up until the court should tell US if we
had the right to consider them. In
this way a large number of estimates
accumulated and the board has been
busy during the past few days granting
them"

BIDDING WAS KEEN
JOINT COMMITTEE ON MARKETS
DISPOSES OF CHOICE MAR
KET BOOTHS
THEY ARE POOR AUCTIoNEERs
Committee Loses Money by Selling
Two Best Booths Separately
County Growers Get
Good Positions.

Stalls and booths in the new market
house, at Jackson and Tenth streets. the
rental from which will bring the city a
revenue slightly in excess of 81, POO, were
disposed of by the joint committee on
markets yesterday afternoon.
With the exception of two hucksters'
booths, bid in by NJ. Levinski, and the
two market stalls secured by an out-of-
town gardener, the lot, which includes
the choicest sites on the ground, was
acbbled up by the Ramsey County Grow
ers' association, the officers and mem
bers of which We're present at the meet
ing.
AS auctioneers the committee could not
be said to be a glittering success, it per-
nltting neat little sum of money to slip
through its fingers in the excitement at
tendant upon the rivalry for two choice
hucksters' booths, located at the corner
of Tenth and Jackson streets. M. Le-
Vinski, semi merchant, Of
fered $40 month each for them, which
the Growers association contested by
raising the figure. He finally ran the
amount up to $26, making the total $50.
Here someone suggested selling the
booths singly, with the result that one
was bid in for $50 and the other SIG. The
sale Of two others in the same manner
also resulted in loss.
LavinsIIi's desire for two booths was
contested fiercely by the Growers as
sociation, but he finally succeeded in get
ting them, paying $11. so each per month.
Two rows of market stalls We're asked
for and granted to the Growers associa-
ton, it paying the set figures of 10 cents
a day for each Of them. It took in sew
enty-six stalls and will net the city 81, ,1St
for the season. The stalls allotted to the
association are the choicest on the
grounds, and it is expected that opposi-
tion will be heard and the controversy
carried into the council.
The committee took the position that il
had given ample notice Of it's intention to
dispose of stalls and booths, and those
who failed to come forward and make
known their wants had no kick coming.
There are still over 200 stalls remaining,
and no trouble will be experienced in tax

HAS WINNING CARDS
ACTION OF PARK BOARD IN CON-
DEMNING LEYEE is UN-
ASSATLARLE
MODIFICATION IS TO BE ASKED
Park Commissioners to BE Ap-
PREACHED with View to OBJ
6tainang Concessions De-
sized by West Side.

The assembly committee on streets
yesterday afternoon figured long and
earnestly on a scheme TO oust the park
board from its possession Of the strip
of ground connecting the public baths
with Wabasha street, but, after a tcon-
sultatiQn with the corporations attorney,
finally hadsto admit that it was up
against it, and passed the matter up un-
til theaneXt meeting, when, 1t is expected,
the park board will either relent, or
adopt some other course.
The question came UP on the applica-
ton of the Peterson Granite company
for leyee space on which to locate
stone yard and works, but it was shown
that the park board by it's condemna-
ton proceedings, had pre-empted every
available lot and there was nothing
left. One member informed the commit
tee that the majority of the ground con-
demned belonged to private parties, but
this Corporation Attorney Markham re-
fused to recognize, holding that the city,
by reason Of prior use, was practically
the owner.
The park board, by reason of unusual
pressure from the West side real estate
and mercantile interests, is Wavering
in its original intentions, and the next
meeting may see an abandonment Of a
part of the plan, If not all of it. 1t is
now proposed to permit spur track In
the alley to the south of the hll the
Omaha company to be compelled to par
allel it with a fence, the same to be
covered with vines and trailing plants.
The latest plan offered, and one which
will, in all probability, be accepted by
the park board, is the condemnation of
Raspberry island and that portion now
occupied by the Minnesota club boat
house. This would be reached by a spiral
stairway or bridge, the grade being made
1aio " III
pedestrians to ascend or descend without
undue exertion or labor. It has also
been proposed to parallel the Wabasha
street structure with another bridge, it
to have its terminal on the GROUNDS near
the bathing pavilion.
