THE ClTYS PLAIN DUTY
To Secure River Banks for Park
ways, Says G. NJ. LOring.

G. NJ. Loring believes there is no cues
ton as to the duty of the city and Of the
park board IN regard to river bank
parkway. MANY other parts of the city,
he says, ''are just as suitable for fac
tories and business, but there Is no other
place SO desirable for parkway. The
city of Rochester has acquired the banks
of the Genesee river and the people are
rejoicing over having secured the beaut1-
full banks and the gorge which is In no
way more beautiful than the Mississippi
between Riverside park and Fort Smelling.
Chicago, Cleveland and many other cities
have spent vast sums Of money In getting
hold of park property on river fronts.
Minneapolis cannot afford r to have the
beautiful river banks destroyed and l 40
not believe the park board will permit
the present opportunity for securing them
to pass away 9t:a

never equalled before. One of the faculty
mentioned as possible causes poor teach
ing, inadequate preparation for the. work
of the university, poor quality of students
and inattention to or utter neglect of coll

last named cause.

action, but long line OF sophomores will

called for Monday morning. when the mat
ter will probably be considered. Mean
while, many sophomores are straining

ASKS FOR A RECEIVER

1. & NJ. Land and TOwnsite Co. In
cOfporators in Difficulty.
Henry Outcalt, an incorporation of the
Iowa and Minnesota Land and ToWnsite
company, has asked for a receiver to pay
off debts of $4,000 and divide the balance
between himself and Harry l.. Jenkins and
Anna l.. Jenkins.
The company was originally organized
to boom townsites along the new line Of
the Minneapolis &, St. Louis from New
Ulm to Storm Lake, Iowa. -
Mr. Outcalt says that the company
should have debt Of only $4,000, but al
leges that Mr.. Jenkins includes promis-
sorry note to himself for $4,000. The note
does not constitute liability, according
to Mr.. Outcalt. The intention of Mr..
Jenkins, he says, is to apply all the re-
ceipts to the liquidation of this pretended
Indebtedness, and it is also his intention
to absorb all the assets.

NO FORGERY CHARGES MADE
Fire and Marine Note Makers ArGu-
ments Are Heard.

A whole platoon Of lawyers appeared
before Judge Elliott this morning to ar

liam S. DWinneu and John c. Sweet, re :
ceivers of the Minneapolis Mutual Fire
and Marine Insurance company in their
suits against several cores of we'll
known persons to recover on their notes
found in the guaranty fund. The argu-
ment was that the notes were not legal
obligations because the insurance COM
pany had no right to have a guaranty
fund, as it had never done any marine
business and had not even complied with
the law in attempting to add the marine
feature. 49, & ~-- -

Blood Poisoning or Pneumonia May
Have Keilled Carlson.

DR.. ]. G. Pelton, practitioner for
fifty years and an old army and railway
surgeon, testified in the Johnson murder
case yesterday that in his opinion Claus
W. Carlson who was supposed to have died
from knife wound had died from double
pneumonia. He based his opinion wholly
on the evidence given by the physicians
regarding the symptoms, exhibited by
Carlson, the appearance of the organs
after death and the hospital record. He
admitted on cross-examination, however.
that the symptoms were equally char
acteristic of blood poisoning and there
were no distinctive pneumonia symptoms.

worthless. Act kindly and gently,
show sympathy, and lend n helping

it." Most men appreciate a kind word
and encouragement more than sub
stantial help. There are persons in

Confirmation Services.

The Right Rev. L. Seaman. Bishop Of
the Salt Lake diocese, arrived in towr
Monday oil a pastoral visit to st
Joseph's parish and to administer the
Sacrament OF Confirmation.
The Rev. Bishop celebrated Mass
Tuesday morning at which the confirma-
ton class received Holy Communion in
a body. The girls robed in white and
the boys, with distinctive badges, as they
approached the altar rail presented a
pretty appearance, which was beautiied
still more by the floral adornment Of the
altar and sanctuary.
Tuesday afternoon the class was again
assembled in the church and with the
congregation many seats in the edifice
were occupied. Rev. Father Sheehan
was celebrant at the Mass. Bishop
Seaman was present IN the sanctuary
and at The B%enediction gave the blessing
after which he delivered a beautiful SER
mon. He dwelt particularly on the rite
of the church he was about to admins
ter and clearly explained various points
of Catholic doctrine and ceremonies.
He effectively pointed out the uses the
church made of material things in her
Offices and ceremonials to spiritually i'm
press her children. The Bishops con-
Guiding anecdotes were straight to the
hearts and intelligence of his hearers, so
forcibly did they portray the necessity
of a good beginning to lead a Christian
life, of grasping the opportunities with
in reach, Of using the faculties within
us, and of the reward of final persever-
an e. The Bishop then confirmed the
following:
Mrs. Emma Hancock, Nellie Langford,
Nellie Conway, Annie Chiara, Bridge
Cooper, Mary Bidart, Jaunita Bidart,
James Langford and Tommie Kendrick.
The Bendiction of the Blessed Sacra-
nent was given after Confirmation.
Bishop Seaman left for Carlin where
he held Confirmation services to-day.
