Mrs. ReuiIlard.

Passengers on the train wrecked near
Neenah who arrived in Minneapolis yes
terday afternoon gave interesting descrip-
tions of the thrilling experience through
which they passed. That no one was fa-
tally injured is considered remarkable.
Among those who escaped injury was
Mrs. A. b. Reuillard Of S19 w Twenty
sixth street, who was slightly injured.
She was returning from a ten days trip
to Chicago. Mrs. Reuillard jokingly in
sisted yesterday that all that saved her
life was a rabbits foot which she always
carries with her on railway trips. She
had premonition upon retiring that an
accident was imminent, and was prepared
for the shock. She had been asleep for not
over five minutes when the coach toppled
over and she was thrown across the aisle
into the opposite berth upon Mrs. .Agnew
Of Waukesha, Wis. All Of the coaches left
the track. the engine alone remaining
upon the rails. The passengers took the
accident philosophically and even laughed
over their misfortunes when 1t was dis
covered that no one was fatally hurt.

Capt. J. L. Fiske Tells How Idaho
Received Its Name.
IDA WAS HIS BABY DAUGHTER
She Was the First YounEster In the
q New Territory Christened .-'
.'.'. t'' 90 for Her. "..

Leader of the first three pioneering
expeditions to cross the western plains
In search Of homes or gold, Captain
James l.. Fiske, now resident at the
Minnesota soldiers home, told yesterday
how the state Of Idaho received its name
ut was in 1885," said Captain Fiske,
"on the third Of three expeditions l led.
There were $40 of us, and among them
were my wife and daughter Ida, who was
just years old. A baby was rarity in
that country then, and the settlers who
had come out on previous expeditions
decided to give the new territory. the
baby's name. The last syllable, no. is
the Indian word of greeting, and was
added partly as delicate attention to the
raled us and finally drove US back.
How long did it take us to cross ?
From three to four months. but aside
from the Indians the life was a pleasant
one, and we didn't care how long it lasted.
We had wagon loads of provisions and
all the buffalo and elk meat we could
use. And the climate was wonderful.

thick; and in few days 1t was dried
through and through and ready to pack
F. L. McKusick, adjutant Of the SOL
d1ers' home. who accompanied Captain
Fiske on his last expedition, said that
even more interesting ana quite as dan
gerous as the Indians were the buffalo
when they stampeded. Then the little
band of men. with the women in, the
middle, would form into triangle and
fire continually at the maddened herd,
| until they had divided it into two Sec
tions; but for hours it was necessary to
stand guard and see that the animals did
not mingle again in one herd.
when herd Of buffalo started to run
nothing could stop it, said Mr.. McCusick.
Thousands would plunge into the Mis-
souri, river, and the hundreds who, es-
| capped drowning or trampling would rush
out of the water only to keep up their
headlong flight"
Captain Fiske was one of the chief men
on the staff of the Montana Herald, forty
years ago, and established it's circulation
by going on horseback to every outlying
cabin where there was a possibility OF
collecting enough gold dust to pay for q

POWERS ON RECORD
He Wanted to Abolish the 8-Hour
Police Shifts.
TOLD HOLMES TWAS RIGHT THING
But Said He Didn't Dare to Re-
instate the Ten-Hour
=, System.

Whatever may have been his sentiments
on Monday evening regarding eight t-hour
shifts for police, Alderman Powers was
already on record as favoring a re-
turn to the old ten-hour system. Mr..
Powers attended a meeting Of the Eight
Hour League Monday evening and made a
talk about the recent change in police
hours. He intimated BROADLY that he
had urgently advised Acting Mayor Jones
not to abolish 4he eight hour system and
that he was panied somewhat to observe
that Mayor Jones had gone ahead to re-
instate a system that worked a hardship
on the men. ...-.
The acting mayors comment on the
structures of the aldermanic mayoralty
aspirant was published in r h OF r.
n a of yesterday. To-day Alderman c.
an interesting light on Alderman Powers
declaration Of Monday night. 1t happened
soon after Mr.. Powers had assumed the
duties of acting mayor before the return
Of Alderman Jones.
II was at the city hail." said Alderman
Holmes, "and cropped into police head
quarters to have a word with Captain
Getchell. Alderman Powers was in the
superintendent's Office and congratulated
him on making certain changes which
would insure that all the plain clothes
men and captains earned their salaries.
There's just one more thing I would
like to do Mr.. Powers said; IT'S some
thing that ought to be done, but I don't
dare do it,
"'What's that?' I asked.
" Put the patrolmen back on ten-hour
Shifts said Mr. Powers.
You can Imagine that when read in
the papers that Powers had condemned
Mayor Jones for abolishing the eight hour
system I was considerably surprised"
This conversation took place less than
month ago

Harper's Ferry, the Gate to the
Shenandoah Valley 49,.


Where the three states of Virginia, West
Virginia and Maryland come together; ;
where tho Potomac and Shenandoah riv-
ers unite; where the towering sleeps Of
the Blue Ridge end abruptly, frowning
upon the heights of Maryland and Bolivar
Heights in West Virginia, lies the quaint
historic town of Harpers Ferry. John
Brown baptized it in blood in 1859, when
he captured the town and the U. S. ar
senal and made his final and fatal stand
in the engine-house (known afterwards as
John Browns fort), alongside the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad. A plain shaft, SIM
ply inscribed, now marks the location.
Again in 1861, grim visaged war seized
the village and held it tight in its grasp
for nearly four years. The deeds that
were done and the tales that are told
concerning Harpers Ferry fill volumes.
The heights at Harpers Ferry guarded
the Shenandoah valley. It was a most i'm
portant stronghold to be desired when
some great campaign was planned by
either army.
From Harpers Ferry the Shenandoah
division of the Baltimore & Ohio R. r.
extends southwark to Charlestown, Win
chester, Harrisonburg and Lexington.
Battlefields surround the village in all di-
rections.

SPRINKLED TOO LONG
An Industrious Grass Farmer Fined
by the Water Department.

by the Water Department.
Early in the spring, when there was
much prominence given to the timeliness
Of cleaning up the city and getting lawns
in shape to please the visitors who were
coming, w. Houliston, of 1C15 Harmon
place, made up his mind to do his part.
Mr.. Houliston's lawn is opposite the
First Baptist church and stands on
smallish lot terraced down to the street.
The lawn was not particularly promising
to start with, but Mr. Houliston had a
good garden hose, q firm determination
and good, black soil to work with and as
the weeks went by his little grass farm
throve like a green bay tree. Flower beds
were laid out and carefully tended, and as
many OF the nearby places are rent ed
properties with no lawns, the Houliston
home stood out in pleasing relief.
One night Mr.. Houliston was out giving
his grass a drink when a strange pedes-
trian seemed to evince more than a pass
ing interest in the work. He watched the
hose was judiciously turned this way and
that and then, with casual glance at his
watch, the stranger disappeared in the
gathering shades Of night. Next day Mr..
Houliston received notice that fine of
81 had been assessed against him by the
water department for using his hose after
sprinkling hours.
Nothing daunted by this incident how
ever, Mr.. Houliston has kept up his good
work and to-day notified the Commercial
club that he was candidate for one Of
the lawn prizes. 81

LABOR DAY. PROCLAMATION
Gov. Van SAINT Recommend That La
Dor Cease for the Day.

Dor Cease for the Day.
Governor Van SAINTS Labor Day procla-
nation was issued yesterday. 1t reads as
follows:
Whereas, The legislature Of the state of
Minnesota has designated the first Monday in
September of each year as Labor Day, and
1t is essential that the same should be fitting
ly observed; therefore, 1, as governor of said
state, do hereby recommend and urge that
on Monday, Sept. 1, 1902, all labor throughout
the state cease, and that employers and en-
ployes cooperate with one another to carry
out the purpose and spirit of the law.
Mutual advantage suggests that confidence
and regard for the rights of one another
should be established among those who toll
and those who employ labor, and it is hence
| desirable that meetings occur on said day
| where wise counsel can be, had of matters
involving the rights of all, and that plans be
| formulated for peaceful and helpful relations
between labor and capital.
Let all our people upon said day rest from
| their usual vocations, and by fitting and ap-
propriate observance give due recognition: tc
the dignity Of labor

PHILHARMONIC'S PLANS
Two Oratorios and Mixed Concert
Josephine Jacoby Coming.


The plans of the Philharmonic club for
the season are taking shape and prelim-
mary announcements will be sent to the
members in a few days. Two Of the reg
ular concerts will be oratorios and the
third mixed concert. One Of the ora
torios will be Samson and Delilah," for
which the prima donna contralto, jose
phine Jacoby, has been engaged at large
expense The club has tried repeatedly to
secure this famous singer, but she has
never before travelled SO far west, her
popularity in the east making It unneces-
sary for her to accept engagements in
volving long and tedious journeys. The
other oratorio has all the charm of nov
city, being "The Death of Hiawatha," by
Coleridge Taylor, a work that has created
a genuine musical sensation. Among the
soloists engaged already are Guilim Milas
and Evan Williams.
The demand for a repetition of "Mes-
siah" has, been so strong that the club
will give this as an extra concert on
Christmas night 1t is probable that the
concerts win be given in Wesley church
as they were last year.
