had been fired, when one of the men tried
a new rifle. He then handed the gun to
Captain Walton, who examined it and said
he would shoot at a newspaper that was
lying not far away. He took careful aim
at the object and fired. A little boy
sprang into the air and then fell to the

the accident and did all he could to save
the boys life. Several newspapers had
been blowing ebout the range and he
mistook the boys white waist for one o1

THEY LIKE TUBING
Baths Are an Attraction for Lodg-

The Proposed Municipal Baths

It's the soap trust and innate modesty
that keep American tramps from sport
ing in every brook and pool as daintily
as Diana and her nymphS. The tramp is
not averse to bathing wherever he can
find gratuitous opportunity. AS for
men above the level of the tramp, they
are usually anxious to take regular baths
at least once or twice a week.
If, therefore, the present city hall
should be transformed into public bath
house, according to plans now under con-
sideration, the bathers would not be con-
fined tosthe more prosperous classes.
The Tubing habit is we'll developed
among patrons of cheap lodging houses.

Square advertise free baths" upon their
street signs.

hotels. "Our guests are charged only
Is cents night, but they get a bath for
nothing-hot and cold water and even
towels. Most of 'em take the baths. Of
course they don't battle every day. They
amt no dudes. but they take a wash
off once a week and sometimes twice.
Yes, the baths is runnin' winter and
summer. In fact. more soap is used here
in cold weather than in hot"

FEAST WITH THE DEAD .
Peculiar Chinese Custom Followed
by St. Paul Orienta1s.


by St. Paul Orientais.
A "smoker" with dead friends was en-
joyed by st. Paul Cinnamon yesterday.
=, The orientals drove in carriages to
Oakland cemetery, and there assembled
around the graves of three compatriots.
The principal mourner, gowned gaily in
particolored silks, gracefully served the
three guests of honor with small cups Of
wine which were placed at the edges of
the graves. Bengal fire was lighted and
after the brilliant blaze had died out
flowers were strewn oyer the three
mounds. The visitors then seated. them
selves, smiling, lighted cigarettes and po-
litely passed them to the graves When
the cigarettes were we'll nigh consumed,
cigars were rendered. -
FINALLY an ample luncheon in which
chicken rice and pork were prominent
was spread temptingly upon the turf. The
hosts allowed sufficient time for adequate
refreshment therefrom then gathered up
the food and returned it to one of the
carriages. They emptied upon the graves
the wine that had not yet been drunk,
bowed low and affably to the disembodied,
ent cred the carriages and returned to
town. =
Last night the graveyard food was con-
sumed with agreeable1 additions at the
Chinese restaurant in jackson street.

Farmers Cooperative Exchange
Doesn't Worry Local Grain Men.
MAY SOUND PLAUSIBLE ENOUGH
The History of Such Plans, How
ever, Does Not Record Great
Successes.

The recent organization at Pierre,
s. D., of the Farmers Cooperative
Exchange company, with capitaliza-
ton of $5o,ooo.ooo and an avowed intention
on the part of the incorporators to revo-
lutionize the grain trade has not disturbed
the Minneapolis grain men to any no
ticeable extent. Ordinarily it might be
supposed that the birth of a $50,000,0 900
company would be the cause of some ner-
vousness on the part of men whose lines
of buiness relationship are to be cut,
and whose business must necessarily de-
crease in volume If the new plan succeeds.
Yet it is hard to find a Minneapolis grain
man who shows any interest in the new
scheme and inquiry for an opinion as to
the effect of the new combine upon the
grain trade in general is met with quiet
smiles. The trade views it as one OF
those huge, impracticable schemes that
originate in the minds of promoters and
come to the front at Intervals.
E. A. Burrage of Minneapolis, secre-
tary of the South Dakota and South Min
nesota Grain Dealers Association, Is in
receipt of a letter from Charles S. Clark
Of Chicago, bearing on the new Organiza-
tion. Mr.. Clark is something Of an au'
thority on matters pertaining to the grair
trade, and is editor of the Grain Dealers
Journal. He views the new company as
one of the schemes that always originate
when the country is prosperous the farm
ers have plenty of money and it is cas-!
! to get them to buy stock in cooperative
companies which promise to cut out thu
expenses of middlemen and secure for tht

BACILLI NOT INVITED
Health Department and Guests Have
an Outing at MinnetOnka.

The annual outing of Health Commits
sioner P. M Hall, the city hall newspaper
reporters and invited guests was held
Saturday evening at Lake Minnetonka.
Those who were 'in' on the jaunt went
to the lake on one of the late afternoon
trains and toured both the upper and
lower lakes. They boarded the steamer
Puritan at Solberg's Point, and at 6
O'Clock steamed away for Bartlett's
house in the upper lake. Sanitary In
spector Harry Luxton,, who came out on
an early train, had prepared a tempting
repast for the pleasure seekers, and the
dinner was served as the boat steamed
away from the wharf.
After making the round of the lower
lake, the boat went through the narrows
to the upper lake as far as Mound City,
where the residents Of Buena Vista were
serenaded.
Upon returning to the lower lake the
steamer cruised about by moonlight and
finally landed the passengers at the start
ing point, where they caught a St. Louis
train for the city.
Captain John Johnson and Clerk Sam
Ellis, of the Puritan, did much to make
the trip enjoyable.

A VERY HOT LETTER.
From DR.. Bracken to DR.. 'Hall-Re.
lates to Diseased Cattle.

Health Commissioner P. M. Hall
and DR.. c. M. Bracken, secretary Of the
state board of health, have had a misun-
derstanding over the inspection of Mound
township cattle, supected of having tu-
berculosis. AS the health commissioner
of Minneapolis understands 1T, the duty
of killing the affected cattle devolves
upon the chairman Of the county board.
The chairman of the board did not care
to take the initiative in the matter, and
DR.. Hall accordingly acquainted DR..
Bracken with the situation. DR.. Bracken
that the matter was outside Of his juris-
diction and suggested that DR.. Hall su-
perintend the killing of the cattle. DR..
Hall insisted that the state board of
health should shoulder the responsibility
Of putting the cattle out of existence,
and DR.. Bracken became so incensed at
the presumption of the local board of
health that he indicted an epistle to DR..
Hall which fairly made that official hot
around the collar. Among other things,
he said: qs
You mind your own business and will
attend to mine. I think I fairly familiar
with the affairs Of my Office
DR.. Hall is far from being in a pleas
ant frame of mind over the gruff note
health. He declares that he has a plan
of action which will bring DR.. Bracken
to terms and make him change his atti-
tude toward the Minneapolis health de-
partment.

Banks Have Been Organized.
Since January l., 1902, thirty three state
banks have been organized. Last year
the number was thirtyflve for the twelve
months. The prosperity of the state is
thus indicated, as many of the new banks
have to compete with national or private
banks. Some of them are established in
localities without other banking facilities.
The capitaliza ton Of the banks this year
is greater than that of the thirty-fv
