BROWNS IN CISIERN
Sad Accident to a Five Year Old
Girl.
THE CHILD OF CHARLES HANSON
Frantic Mother Witnesses Dying
Struggle of Her Little
One.

While playing about her home at 221s
Twenty-tirst avenue s, Saturday morning,
Florence Hanson, the pretty o-year -olo
daughter of Charles Hanson. mill hand'
fell headlong into cistern and was
drowned. The frantic mother, who saw
the child struggling In the water, was
unable to rescue her. Mrs. hanson $
screams brought in several ne1ghbors ana
also the driver of passing delivery
wagon. The latter jumped into the
cistern and passed the little girl up TO the
persons above. A physician was hurrleo-
ly called, but his services were not need-
ed; life was already extinct.
Mrs. Hanson was washing clothes IN the
kitchen; the pump was out Of order ana
water had been drawn from the, cistern
by the means of a bucket, the cover being
left off. Little Florence had been play
ing In the bedroom, adjoining the Kitchen,
and came running into the kitchen, call
ing, ooh, Mama" when she fell into the
open hole. .....-a -r.
The mother heard the little~ girls
screams, but turning, could not see her.
Then hearing the splashing OF the water
she knew what had happened. Almost
beside herself, she called to the child to
cling to the rope, which still hung In the
cistern, but the child, frightened and chok-
ing, could not do SO. The mother
screamed, but it was some time Delore
her calls were heard. During that time,
which seemed an age to her, the mother
stood helpless and beheld the last strug-
giles of her little daughter in the water.
BY the time the driver Of the delivery
wagon lifted the then limp form OF the
child above the water it was too late.
The little girl was already dead. she
had been drowned in water that would
have reached only to her chin had she
been able to stand. . .
The father Of the little girl is Charles
Hanson, who is employed in the Christian
-four mill. MIR. and Mrs. Hanson have
three other children, all grown up. The
parents are nearly Frustrated.

NEED OF MANUFACTURERS
Twin City Commercial Clubs Set
Movement on Foot to Supply
t-- the Need.

What is wanted now at the state fair
grounds is a building exclusively for the
exploitation of the manufacturing inter-
ests Of Minnesota. The idea is original
with w. Y. Chute, and the Minneapolis
Commercial club, through, its public az
in bringing the proposition before the
state fair association. The st. Paul Com
mercial club has been Interested and the
clubs of both cities are cooperating.
While one of the large structures at the
fair grounds has been known as the
Manufacturers" building. it has been
such in name only. The flour and other
manufacturing interests OF Minneapolis
and the rest of the state have always had
representation to some extent at Min
nesota's big annual exposition, but there
has never been any concerted attempt to
make a really valuable showing under one
roof. ~ H. ~..
It is thought that if the matter can
be put before the fair association In the
right. light the sO-called manufacturers
building may become such in fact. In
other years it has been occupied chiefly
by twin city retail stores. If it should
be found desirable for these stores to
find other quarters they could doubtless
be induced to vacate in favor of the
manufacturers. If such an arrangement
cannot be made, agitation will be COM
m6nCoQ lot Lne efeCtlOu VI d SePdidle
building to be dedicated exclusively to
Minnesota manufacturers.
There is a growing conviction that the
manufacturing interests Of the state can
be greatly stimulated by the proposed
building and that such an institution
more than any other influence now at
work-would have the effect of attracting
outside manufacturers.
"T1is is movement" said Wallace G.
Nye, chairman of the public affairs com
mittee of the Comernrcial club, Gin which
every one in the state should be interest
ed. It is by no means twin city affair. y

TREAT IT LIGHTLY
Local Grain Mems Views of Fargo
I Grain Growers Meeting.
WON'T AFFECT INTERESTS HERE
American Elevator and Grain Trade
Points Out Few
Things.

Local grain men are inclined to attach
little Importance to the dcirgs OF the So
called grain growers" who assembled on
Thursday at Fargo. From reports sent
out to the st. Paul papers regarding the
meeting. local dealers say the Inference
nigh. be drawn that the grain trade
methods of the northwest were ON the
point OF being revClutionized.
Seven or eight prominent men in the
local trade this morning were asked
whether the proposed movement would
have any effect upon local interests. the
question in every case brought quiet
smile. Many look upon the whole thing
as something of a joke. rs4
j. Z. Hanley, of St. Paul, secretary of
the newly organized Northwestern Ele-
vator Association, is we'll known here by
reason of his prominence in connection
with tie agitation for cooperation on tne
part Df farmers, and by reason OF MS
connection with the banquet given at the
West hotel to George H., Phillips, when
the corn king visited Minneapolis MI
Hanley is given credit by local men for
sincerity, but his schemes are looked upon
as visionary and impra cticable. The
Fargo meeting was the sequel to secret
meeting held in the Baltimore block in
st. Ptul, Jan. 14-16, which was attended
by some fifteen or twenty farmers and at
which Mr.. Hanley presided. , -
The American Elevator and Grain Trade,
a Chicago publication, in it's issue of the
10Th inst, points out that the organiza-
ton in which Mr.. Hanley is interested
proposes to begin business when thirty
members shall have paid in 500 each, and
that tbs first step would be to buy a
membership in the Minneapolis Chamber
Of Commerce for local representative to
whom the farmers would ship their
wheat. AS emhership would cost
about 81, SOC there would not be much Of d
working capital left.
The new organization announces its
intention Of working in close aft1liation
with the National Grain dealers associa-
ton, and the South Minnesota and South
Dakota Grain Dealers association, but
the officers of these two latter organiza-
lions deny any Intention Of working with
the new crowd. - -.

RIGHTS IN The AIR.
A Novel Suit Brought by the North
western Telephone Co.
THE T. C. co. IS THE DEFENDANT
Right Of One Company to Run Wires
af Under Those of Another
the Issue.

Suit has been brought by the North
western Telephone company against It's
rival, the Twin City Telephone company,
to determine their respective rights IN
the atmosphere. The aim OF the suit IS
to compel the Twin City company to re-
move all its aerial wires which are under
Northwestern wires. There are about
forty such crossings in the city, and the
expense of making the change would not
be q trihing
It appears that the Northwestern takes
the position that wherever its aerial lines
have been constructed it has sort OF
right of way and that whenever any other
company wants to cross it must go over
head. In other words, the company hrst
on the street has the exclusive right to
!, perforate& the air from the top of its poles
to the ground for the total Width~of the
cross arms.
The point is that as business increases
it is necessary to place more cross arms.
AS there is no way of fastening cross
arms in the air over the pole. they must
be fastened lower down on the pole IT.
self. But should the space be occupied
by cross line underneath, there is no
chance for expanding in that direction
Hence the company first on the field Will
be forced to build a conduit or construct
an entirely new pole line at great ex-
pense. ..g ~.
On the other hand, the company reach
ing the crossing last, can, at compare
lively small outlay, prevent all trouble
by carrying it's wires above instead OF
below. Two poles, higher than those OF
the other company, are all that is neces-
sary to take the wires over, and these
will not make the additional cost much
greater.
Manager E. E. Webster of the Twin
CITY company said this afternoon:
While the point has never been tested in
this state We are satisfied that we are wholly
| within our rights whether our lines are un-
DER or over, and we sure that the courts
will sustain us. There have been numerous
decisions in other states. and there Is re-
cent one which would permit us to string
wires right through and among the wires OF

GOING AS A "STR0LLER"
MILLINER'S MODEL ENGAGED
She Has Been Trying On Captivating
Hats to Convince Hesitating
Customers.

The bevy of beauties with the "Stroll-

half of the week. aroused longing to
go on the stage which Minnie Carlson,
beautiful Minneapolis girl, could not

from the twin cities with that merry ag-
gregation of song birds and funmakers
AS one Of her admirers said this morn

and If she can only get a speaking part
somewhere between the lines she will
assuredly make a hit.
Miss Carlson is the fascinating young
woman who has made a comfortable in

posing for pictures designed to attract

most stunning headdress of the hat

it's revenue and undoubtedly directly in

other of Miss Carlson's duties at the
store was to have hat tried on her of

when a. doubling shopper showed signs of
baking at the crucial moment of pros
pective purchase. This chef d'oeuvre on
the part of the milliner generally proved
too fetching to be resisted, and the deal
was closed at once. When Miss Carlson
coauettishly poised a dainty Paris crea-
ton on her head and smiled bewitching-
ly upon the woman who was hesitating
between love and duty the most stub

suggestion of her charms.
Miss Carlson was born and bred in st.

when her family moved to Minneapolis
Her father was for years member of the
dry goods firm of Ekman & Carlson, St.

Since the last report Secretary Forbes
has received $956.26, chiefly from country
towns. Heretofore many county chair
men had not reported. but as the time to
close the campaign for funds approaches

St, PAUL SATISFIED
Regarding Proposed Legislation Tor
Minneapolis Water Bonds.
RESTRICTION TO BE EXPECTED
Rnnd Issue Discussed by HehhepiA
federation This After
noon.

TT the legislature authorizes the MID
neanolis CITY council to issue the desired
s250 ono of bonds for the water oepart-
ment it will undoubtedly impose sucn re-
strictions as hedged in the issue OF per-
manent Improvement bonds last winter
At a. conference between City ATTORNEY
Healy of Minneapolis and corporation
Counsel Markham of st. PAU yesteIoay,
the latter made it plain that the st: faui
Iaoislative delegation would not consent
unless the program followed with the
issne of other bonds was adhered 10.
Sneaking for the st. Paul members, ne oe-
clared at first that they would. not CON
sent to such legislation unless clues nav
ing a home rule charter were excepted.
This would let St. Paul out. st. Paul peo-
pie would not stand for any BOND Issue
ct this time. he said, and they feared that
If given half a chance the present coun-
ri, might find an excuse for issuing bonds
for some purpose 1t was pointed out TO
Mr. Markham that inasmuch as Duluth
a1sn onerated under home rule charter,
any legislation containing the exceptions
desired would affect only minneapolis ana
therefore be too plainly special leglsla-
ton. Mr.. Markham finally went away
satisfied that under the former restric-
tons there would be no danger to st.
Paul's interest in the bill. 1t Is under
stood that the Duluth delegation will
agree to any program that satisfies ST..
Paul.
The restrictions surrounding the bond
issue of a year ago were that the city
council must be unanimous and must take
action within six months after the pas
sage of the legislative act. 1t will be
remembered that the eminent Boston au-
thorities on the legality Of the bonds.
Messrs. Story, Thorndyke & Palmer,
ruled in the other case that the act was
class legislation and on their report all
the bidders but Stoddard & Nye refused
to purchase the bonds.
It is understood that in the water bond
matter Mayor Ames stands ready to do
his part.
The bond isuse was discussed again at
meeting of the Henneptn county delega-
tion at the Commercial club this after
noon.

He Say. Nice Things bout we.ter,


Universities.
Poultney Bigelow, author, traveller and
lecturer, who recently made tour Of
America, visiting among other. places,
Minneapolis and the University of Min
nesota, upon his return to London yes
terday gave out an Interview in which he
expressed his surprise at the superiority
of the universities in the west over those
in the east. Said Mr.. Bigelaw:
What struck me most forcibly during my
visit to the middle west universities was
the superiority of such universities as Cor
nell, Wisconsin, Minnesota, ETC., over the
many famous eastern colleges in fitting stu
dents to take the lead In practical Amer
lean affairs. The spirit that is conquering
the neutral markets of the world is more
stimulated at the headwaters Of the Mis-
mississippi than on the Atlantic. The inellec-
tual vigor Of our western universities is not
as yet appreciated.

has created a furore among the b.

Minneapolis Bohemians will do the best
they can. a-.. .-

ment and while they do not know Just
what form the entertainment will take
they purpose to give Kubelik proper
