COURTS BUSY DAY
Ninety-four Cases Were on the Mu-
nicipal Court Tab for
IT, To-day. ...s >
Thirty seven of These Were Plain
Drunks-General Disposition
J.. to Plead Guilty.

When Judge H. D. Dickinson, Of the
criminal branch of the municipal court,
mounted the bench this morning, he found
before him the largest docket brought up
In police court in Minneapolis fer many
years. There were ninety one new cases
on. the tab, while three cases, continued
from last week, were booked for a hearing
to-day. The court room was filled to its
utmost capacity, and yet no one was ad-
mitted but officers, attorneys, newspaper
men and witnesses.
No less than thirty seven persons were
charged with being drunk and all pleaded
guilty except one man, who came from the
country, and who would not admit that he
was more than half drunk" Judge Dick
inson refused to admit the distinction and
fined him $40 with the rest.
Those charged with disorderly conduct
seemed. to feel that 1t was no disgrace to
be guilty Of disorderly conduct on a holi-
day and seven pleaded guilty and were
fined in. sums varying from SO to $25.
From Dlsorderly Places
On the charge Of being found in a dis
orderly house, sixteen persons were ar
raigned. most of whom pleaded guilty
Among these were five colored girls whc
came Saturday to enter disorderly house
on Second street. They pleaded guilty
and told the court that they had just come
from Louisville, Ky Judge Dickinson
sent them to thirty days in the work
house and suspended; sentence until 2 p
m. to allow them to. leave the city.
They called at the clerks office for their
bail money and started for st. Paul, re-
joicing that they were not on their way tc
Single Creek. -.
| Migrants were not so willing to plead
guilty, and although eleven were ar
raigned ten asked for trial. This is per-
haps explained by the fact that the po-
lice are working the vagrancy law in or
der to take care Of the questionable
characters attracted to the city by the
| state fair.
Gamblers Pay Fines.
| Nine men were arraigned on a charge
| Of gambling with cards, while one wa:
| charged with keeping a gambling house
| pleaded guilty and were fined, while three
were dismissed on motion of the city at
torney, it being impossible to prove tina
they were gambling.
/ The other charges that went to maxi
| up the list of ninety-one offenders wer
| as follows: Common prostitutes, 2; sell
| ing liquor with no license, 2; assault an,
battery, 2; keeping disorderly house,
keeping gambling house, riding bicycle OF
sidewalk, reckless driving and petty lar

In addition there were two petty lar
ceny cases and one drunk, continued from
last week. This made a total of ninety
four. A large percentage of them ta

Week Ending Yesterday

Weather Bureau Issues Bulletin Of
~~ Climate and Crop Conditions for
Week Ending Yesterday
The Minnesota section of the weather
bureau has issued its weekly bulletin Of
climate and crop conditions, covering the
seven days ending yesterday. The report
follows: (
7 ''There was fine weather in the northern
half Of the state till the 28th, and in
southern parts from the 26th till the
evening, of the 29th. The showers be-
ginning on the evening Of the 10Th were
general in all parts of the state, and they
continued at intervals to the end Of the
week. These showers were locally very
heavy. they were generally thunder
storms, with considerable injury to build
ings, stacks, etc., by lightning. In west
ern Steele county, on the evening of the
Goth, there was small but terrific tor
nado, which hurled part Of rapidly
moving passenger train from the track to
one side of the roadbed, destroying the
cars killing several people in the wrecked
cars, and injuring a large number. Har-
vest is all finished, except that Of late fax,
which is being cut. Nearly all the stack
ing that is to be done, was finished be-
fore the rains began; threshing from the
shock was also we'll advanced at the same
time Grain still standing in shock is
damp, and In many fields it Is sprouting.
| Corn continues green, and opinions as to
the time required for it's maturity vary
from ten days to month. but 1t Is
| probable that the general crop will be
safe from frost by Sept. Is. The cut
flax in southern counties Is too damp to
| handle. The potato rot seems to be
| spreading in the &ungathered crop.
Timothy seed is said to be good In south
eastern counties"

EVADES THE MAIN ISSUE
Normal School Board Fails to Pass
on Question Involving Owner
ship Of Books.

The state normal board held brief ses-
sion this morning to. dispose Of routine
matters prior to the opening Of the nor
NAL schools. The only matter Of interest
to come up was the much agftated ques-
ton of the disposition of books sent to the
normal school presidents as members OF
the state library commission.
The question came up over an appro-
priation made by ex-President Kleeberger
of the st. Cloud Normal school. Mr.. Klee-
berger offered to sell the school for D
small amount large number Of books
sent him by the publishers when was a
member Of the library commission to the
school. The board Of control, to whom the
proposal was referred took the position
that the books di not belong to Mr.. Klee-
berger personally, but to the normal
school, and Attorney General. Douglas gave
decision to the same effect, and de-
clared that it was bad public policy for
members Of the stae library commission to
receive as personal gifts, books sent to
them by publishers desirious Of having
such books listed on the state library list
by those members.
Mr.. Kleeberger, however, disputed the
right Of the stae to the books and the nor
NAL board this morning washed its hands
of the matter by adopting a resolution de-
claring it against the policy of the board
to purchase from a normal school presi-
dent books which he has received In this
way The main question the board re-
| fused to discuss at all, and If the board OF
control wants Mr.. Kleeberger's books II
will have to sue him on it's own account.
The agitation before the normal board
| brought to head long discussed propo.
sition to the effect that the law making
the normal school presidents members Of
the library commission Is a mistake an6
should be repealed. The board adopted
a resolution favoring a repeal Of the Law
at the next session.
