she plunged in after her. The girls
struggled for an instant, clasped in
each others arms, and then went down
together. 34 s~ ,5s.4 .HVq rs
The only witness to the accident was
little Willie Kastner, seven or eight
years old. He had been playing with
the girls, when one of them suggested
that they build raft, and give the
youngster a ride. :. The plan was imme-
diately put into execution, and some
boards and driftwood were collected.
He climbed on the raft and the Seller
girl was pushing him toward the cen
ter of the lake, when she went down.
The boy saw the. double drowning
but was unable to comprehend the sit
uation. He chung, tenaciously- to the
raft and was soon blown into, the mid
die of the lake by the severe wind. He
shouted Justify, and was finally rescued
by boat from the shore.
1t was 2 o'clock, however, before it
was known that the girls had been
drowned. The boy was thoroughly
frightened and could not regain suffi-
cient composure to tell what had be-
come of his unfortunate comrades. The
girls were missed, and the boy then
recollected of the drowning, when
questioned.
The news of the catastrophe spread
rapidly in the village, and men with
hooks were soon graphing the. portion
of the lake where the girls went down.
The body of Josephine Kastner was
found in short time, but the body of
Mary Seller was not found until nearly
o'clock, fifty feet from where she
went down, and in twenty-five feet of
water. .o-"

The girls had been bathing in the
lake frequently, and it is almost GER
tain that Miss Seller knew of the hole
into which she unwittingly stepped.
She was busily engaged in pushing the
raft, however, and it is thought that
she did not notice the distance she
was getting from the shore. When her
companion saw her struggling frantic
ally in the water, she did not hesitate
moment, but ran to the spot, and
when the form came to the surface she
plunged forward, and grasped her

PARK BOARD WILL TRY
TO IMPROVE THE FALLS
Shadow Falls Park Will Receive the
Benefit of Larger Volume
Of Water.

If the funds of the park board will
permit, visitors to Shadow Falls park
next year will not have to weary their
eyes nor exert their climbing abilities
in looking for the falls. For their ben
eft miniature Niagara has been
planned and will be duly installed
when the proper time comes.
Except during a freshet or following
a period rain, Shadow falls of late
years has been falls in name only,

Supt. NuSSbaumer would have all the
small streams that end in space over
the edge of the bluffs near Shadow
falls merged into one and their spark
ling waters sent tumbling over the
messy crags from which the resort
gets its name. From the government
dam at Meeker island to st. Thomas
seminary dozen or more small
streams trickle over the bluffs, some of
them fairly large, and these, if merged
into one, it is figured, would furnish
a stream of water that would be of no
mean size.
Shadow Falls park, because of mad
equate street car facilities, is not pa
tronized to the extent of some of the
smaller parks, but in point of natural
beauty many claim it surpasses them
all. During the past year extensive
improvements have been made to the
grounds, including walks and drive
ways. A falls without water, however,
is not inspiring, and to correct this
deficit Supt. Nussbaumer- has done
some extensive planning. These plans
are as described above. and if the
boards money next year permits, they
will be carried out.
The park board is now preparing
for the condemnation of a strip Of
ground extending from the govern
ment dam to Fort Smelling, this to be
converted into a driveway, and to be
known as the Mississippi River boule-
ward. Much Of the ground has already
been secured. 1t is the desire of the
board to ultimately control a driveway
along the river from the park to the
Omaha shops, there to connect with

SALOON MEN TO PROTEST
OBJECT TO SALOON LICENSE BE-
ING GRANTED H. BENNETT
They Say He Is Arranging to Hire Ten
Men and Twenty Five Women to
Dispense Refreshing Beverages Over
the Bar for the Summer Months.

II the application of one H. Bennett
for q license to dispense intoxicating
liquors at the northwest corner OF Wa
basha street and College avenue is
granted by the two bodies of the coun-
ell, it will be over the strenuous protest
of the entire membership of the st.
Paul Liquor Dealers association.
That its grievances may be properly
stated and formulated in the shape of
a petition requesting that the applica-
ton be denied, the association has
called a mass meeting of saloon own
ers for next Tuesday afternoon in Cen
trsl Hall Annex at Sixth and Washing
ton streets. Following it, if possible,
the association will endeavor to have
called a special meeting of the two
bodies for Tuesday evening, at which
the grievances and petition will be
filed
According to the officers of the
Liquor Dealers association, Bennett,
who is a cook in a saloon in Robert
street, is acting for an amusement en-
terprise, which proposes to hold forth
during the remainder of the warm sea
son in the vacant lot at Wabasha
street and College avenue. That it may
be everything its name implies, the
beverage of the fatherland will be
dispensed, and for this reason the Ii
cense is desired. The aggregation will
hold forth beneath a huge tent and in
this the devotee of the stein can enjoy
the novelty of having his thirst salts

twenty-five barmaids. That means the

Two big audiences witnessed the af-

at the corner of Dale and University
avenues yesterday. Because it is alb
solutely unique and because as some
body in the big audience said yester-
day, 1T all really happened long ago."
the wild West show seems never to
lose its hold on the interest Of the peo-
pie of America. Col. Cody has caught
and imprisoned under his canvas the
very spirit of the old West and the
younger generation who know of that
West only through books and the older
generation who know of it through ex-
perience are alike delighted at every
fresh glimpse of it. Yesterdays per-
formances differed very little from the
last performance given by the show in

Perhaps this year there are more
people with the show and there is at
least one new feature. This is the
presence of the United States life saw

A bit of Western realism that was
loudly applauded yesterday was the

drawn by six horses and driven by

rounds of the arena twice, was attack

party of Western scouts. The act pre-
ceding the charge up San Juan hill
an act showing the bivouacking of the
soldiers on the Cuban plains-was
bit of army realism that was
thoroughly appreciated and tremend-
ously applauded by the 200 soldiers
from Fort Smelling, who were yester-
day the guests of Col. Cody at the
Wild West show. The lasso throwing
of the Mexican riders and the exhibit
ton in fast riding by the cavalrymen
of the United States army were both
skillful and warmly applauded per-
formances of their kind. The enter
tainment closed with a salute to Col.
Cody by the rough riders of the world.
An excellent concert followed both af- (,

SELL TWINE TOO HIGH
STATE BOARD OF CONTROL is TO
PROSECUTE DEALERS
Contention is Raised That Many Mer-
chants Are Violating Their Agree
ment With the State by Placing
Too Great Prov on the Prison
Article.

The state board of control has in
augurated vigorous crusade against
Minnesota tWine dealers who have been
violating the state law by selling pris-
on Irvine at a higher price than they
nave a right to do under the contract.
Six dealers are already in the net and
Will be vigorously prosecuted.
Several weeks ago Warden Wo1fer
informed the board that he had rea-
sons to believe that certain dealers
We're violating their agreement in this
respect. He was instructed to inyes-
ugate the matter thoroughly and at
tempt to secure evidence against the
men suspected. Warden Wolfer has re-
ported to the board that he believes
he has evidence sufficient to convict
six dealers and the board will prose-
cute at once. In the meantime, acting
on the information of Warden Woifer,
the board has sent out it's own agents
on quiet inspection, and if other
dealers are doing this kind of work
they will be brought up short and fore
ed to pay heavy efine.
The prison twine plant is not run to
make profit, but to benefit the farmers
of Minnesota. and the law provides
that the dealers who contract for
prison Irvine shall not sell their Irvine
at greater profit than 1 cent a pound
board and the warden of the prison
go over the situation and estimate
what the cost of production of Irvine
will be and fix the price on the differ
ent grades of Irvine, The dealers pay
this price and can add to it only what
the freight costs, and a cent profit.
The dealers in question have been
charging from ione-fourth, to one and
one-half cent more than the price
provided for the law. At the present
time the state price on sisal is 90
cents, on the medium grade 119l cents
and on the best grade 12@12A cents
The states price never f1uctuates with
the market but remains stationary
throughout the year, and therefore the
dealer cannot steal a march on the
state and get larger profit than al
lowed, without being caught at it.
The prosecution of the offenders will,
it is believed, put a stop to any of this
work going on undetected. It will
scare the dealers who indulge in the
practice, and it will acquaint the far
| n1ers with the situation, so that the
dealers cannot impose on them and
will result, it is hoped, in practically
stamping out the practice in the state.
