a CASTOR, heavy farm cartwheel,

strips OF hard wood screwed to the
rim keep the band from coming off.
The plan of setting up the wheel is
plainly shown. Where the rim of the
wheel used Is of sufficient thickness,
the old iron tire can be removed and
a very thick. but narrow, tire put upon
both edges Of the rim, leaving a
chance for the band to run between

Profits in strawberry Growing.

Quite in line with the more approved
methods of culture Is the idea that to
get the best results from the straw.
berry plantation some care must he
given to the preparation of the ground
long before the plants are to be set. The
old plan Is to set the plants on any
land they happen to have no immediate
use for, and pick the fruit the first
season. The best land for Strawberries
is that which has been in sod, and to
prepare such land II should be planted
to some hoed crop like corn for two
years before strawberry plants are set.
This Is necessary In order TO rid the soil
OF the white grub. the greatest enemy
Of the strawberry plant.

JAPANESE NAVAL VESSEL
ON A MISSION OF PEACE
But Capt. RosehiIl Must Keep His
Hands Off That Island.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 28.-A
cablegram received at the state depart
ment today from United States Minis
ter Buck, at Toxic, says that the Jap
anese minister of foreign affairs in
formed him that a Japanese naval YES
sci would leave yesterday for Marcus
island. The purpose of her going is not
to make trouble, but to prevent it. n
An official of the foreign office was to
go on the vessel and he would carry a
letter to Capt. Rosehill, cabled from
the state department here to Minister
Buck advising the captain not to make
any disturbance or to resort to violence
to obtain possession of the island with
possible loss of life and involving in
ternational complications. If the cap
tain would observe this advice, the de-
partment said for it's part it would en-
deavor to settle the claim to Marcus
island automatically.
Capt. Rosehill is said to have sailed
from Honolulu for Marcus island in a
schooner July II, and it is therefore
probable that he is at Marcus island or
very near there. The letter may come
into his hands too late to avoid trouble.
but the department officials are hoping
for the best.

ASKS FOR BIC DAMAGES
AND lew SWAN SON WANTS $40, 900
FROM CITY RAILWAY
AIleges'in His Complaint That His De-
partHreaFroaf a Car Was eSpeeded by
a Conductor and That, Serious, and
Permanent Injuries Resulted in Con-
sequence.

A 100000 damage suit has been in
stituted against the ST. Paul City Rail-
way company by Andrew Swanson, for
injuries alleged to have been sustained
through ejectment from one of the
cars of the company. The exact sum
mentioned in the suit is $20,346.5O,
which includes damages am, expenses
incurred by the accident.
According to the complaint, Swan
son boarded a car at Seventh and
Broadway on the evening of March
10, 1902, shortly after o'clock. On
making inquiry of the conductor re-
garding the cars, he was told that he
had taken the wrong one. He started
to leave the ear, and when on the steps,
the conductor gave him shove, so
Swanson alleges, the force of which
caused him to land on his head.
The injury, he alleges, caused him
great pain and inconvenience. His
doctor bills aggregated $110, and he
estimates that he will be compelled to
pay out at least 500 more before he
is well again. Then he had been COM
PEELED to quit work, he says, and his
wages since the accident would amount
to $1S6.50. For all these little expen-
ditures he asks the court to reimburse
him, as well as allow him $4,000 for
permanent injuries, which will abide by
him as long as he7lives. Swanson says
he is sixty-tWo years of age.

TRANSFERS OBJECT TO
SPRINKLING4 SYSTEM
Say Contract Plan Works Serious In
justice to st. Paul
Teams.

If the change can be brought about
the present method of sprinkling the
streets by contract will be abolished.
Day labor will be made obligatory upon.
those who have that particular depart
ment in charge. The local Transfers
union, with a membership of over 400,
has taken the matter up and will
push it.
Last night committee representing
the teamsters, consisting, of John Gerry,
j. V. Covington and George Shaw APP
peared before the charter commission
and asked for an amendment to the
charter compelling the sprinkling~ of
the streets by day labor instead of con-
tract, but though they were listened to
respectfully, no assurances were given
that their requests would be complied
with.
According to the argument advanced
by the committee, and supported by the
union, the contract system now in
vogue is responsible for the yearly. in
vasion of hundreds of teams from Still
water and nearby lumber camps. These,
the Sprinkling contractors, the team
SterS claim, secure for a little more
than their keep, shipping them back to
the camps as soon as the logging sea-
son opens. By a bill of sale scheme,
the shipment of these animals back
and forth permits tax evasion, and5ain.
cons equence competition by the small
team owner who lives in ST. Paul is
made almost impossible. The team
sters say that if the sprinkling was
done by day labor local team owners
could do it for the same amount of
money and at the same time keep that
money in st. Paul. The contractors,
the union says, pay their drivers mig
gardly wages, and are thus enabled to
make profit. If the city will do the
work the union promises to invest in
an equipment, though it would prefer
that the city did so.
The committee, in it's argument be-
fore the commission, impressed upon
the members the fact that it had 400
members who pay taxes on over 5000
animals and informed them that while
it preferred the Endorsement of the
charter commission, if it were not
granted, the people would be appealed
to by petition.
When the present charter was adopt
ed considerable time was given to the
drafting of the provision relating to
sprinkling, and in order to dassaway
with the contract system it was eSpe-
cially provided that the city eeuld, if
it desired, purchase a plant and do it's
own sprinkling. Efforts to secure an
appropriation for the purchase of a
plant, however, have been fruitless
Former City Engineer Claussen, who
made a strong effort to secure an ap-
preparation last year, figured it would
require $4,000. The Transfers union,
however, says that if the work is done
by day labor it will see that a plant is
provided. Y @-,s.

Elect Boy Bishops.

A curious custom formerly prevailing
on st. Nicholas day, was the election of q
boy to maintain the state and authority of
bishop, for which purpose he was cloth
ed in rich episcopal robes, and wore a
mitre. Dean Colet, in the statutes Of
St. Paurs school, expressly ordains that
his scholars should every Childermas
Qnnocents) day, come to Paulis churche
and hear the chylde- bishops sermons: and
after be at the nygne masse, and each Of
them offer a penny to the chylde- bishop.''
On Nov. 10, 1854, the bishop of London
cese should elect boy bishops to take part
in professions in the streets of the me-
tropolis. With the rise of Professionalism
this election was suppressed, but the
another form. The t'boy preacher was
known in England before he came to

REGARDING ADMISSION OF
OUTSIDE SOCIETIES
L. A. GILBERT PRESIDENT
FOR THE ENSUING YEAR
Union Is in Prosperous Condition
Financially, and Funds Are Rapidly
Being Raised for the Convention
Fund - Membership List Includes
1876 Names.

At the annual meeting of the Chris
tian Endeavor union, of st. Paul, held
last night in the First M. e. church,
the question Of admitting societies
winch were not strictly Christian En-
deavor societies to membership was
definitely decided. This question has
been the source of considerable agita-
ton In the union for some time, and
finally committee, with Miss Jane
Perry as chairman, was appointed at a
previous meeting to look into the mat
ter. This committee reported last
night and advised that no such amend
ment be made to the constitution. 1t
would, the committee, argued, change
the purpose of the union and cease to
be Christian Endeavor union, becom-
Ing Young Peoples union. The COM
mittee suggested, however that an
amendment to admit an affiliated or
associate membership, these to have no
vote nor to become officers or chair
men OF committees, might be advisa-
bic. No action was taken on this sug-
gest1on, but it was voted to refuse ad-
mittance to other than Christian En-
deavor societies.
At the recommendation of the NOM
mating committee, of which Alexan-
der Nicoll was the chairman, the fol-
lowing officers were elected: President,

president, Rev. Mr.. Sykes. The chair
men of committees VIII be appointed
by the president and announced at the
next meeting of the central committee
in September.
The report of the secretary, Miss
Nellie Spencer, shows a prosperous,
year in endeaVor work. In the union
there are enrolled thirty eight socie-
ties, aggregating a rotal membership
of about 1,646.
L. A. Gilbert, treasurer, reported a
balance of 1859 in the treasury, besides
$271 which had been raised for the

WASHINGTON D. c., July 2S.-The
life of DR.. Russell Wilson, of Ohio, who
was captured with revolutionist par
ty in Nicaragua, has been saved
through the representations of Minister
Corea, of that country. A cablegram
was received at the state department
today from Chester Donaldson, United
States consul at Managua, Nicaragua,
dated the 26th instant, as follows:
las a courtesy to the United States
and sympathy for the mother, the pres
ident will commute Russell Wilson'S
death sentence"
Wilson was one of several Americans
who Joined a filibustering expedition
which landed at Monkey Point, near
Bluef1elds, early in July. Most of the
party were captured or killed. Wilson
would have been summarily executed
but for the interposition of Senior Co
rea, the Nicaraguan minister here.
Having secured stay Of proceedings
and guarantee of legal trial the min
lister has now induced President Ze-
laya to commute the death sentence. !.
