WILL TRY A TO
RAISE WHITE BEAR
Experiment Of Boring More Wells on
Lake Shore to Be Tried.

The county commissioners are to
make another attempt to raise the
level of the water in White Bear lake
by pumping into it from wells which
the county will bore at points along
h shore of the lake.
Yesterday afternoon twenty-five citi-
zens from the village of White Bear
were at the court house in conference
with Commissioners Gray, Wright and
Seng, a special committee named by
the county board to look into the mat
ter Of securing a supply of water for
this lake. The citizens of White Bear
are very anxiuos to have the county
do something more towards restoring
the lake to it's former level, and at
yesterdays conference promised to as
sist the county In every manne posi-
BILE.
AS a result Of the conference the
committee will recommend to the coun-
ty board at its next meeting, that an
appropriation be made at once for the
boring Of at least one we'll, and this to
be followed by three more should it
prove successful.
The new we'll to be sunk will not
be on the property Of the street car
company this time, as was the last
one, neither will it be in an adjoining
county. 1t was agreed t. sink the
well on the White Bear side of the
lake, and to equip it with a pump and
a gasoline engine. AS soon as it is
demonstrated that the well can fur
nish a good flow of water three more
will be sunk. 1t is expected the four
wells will cost close to 100000 when
completed.

SEEKS TO REMOVE
KEEPER OF MORGUE
County Commissioner Gray Introduces
Resolution but Withdrew 1t.

Commissioner Gray, It a meeting
of the county board yesterday, intro
duced a resolution calling for the APP
pointment of a new keeper of the
county mOrgue, to succeed w. DeLacey
Richardson, whose term of Office ex-
pires June Z. This was the first in
timation that there was to be any
candidate for the position aside from
MIR. Richardson, who has filed the po-
sition several years, and the resolu-
ton was objected to by members of the
board who wanted some farther light
thrown on the matter.
The resolution offered by Commits
sioner Gray called for the appointemnt
of William. M. Pursell as successor to
Richardson. None of the members ap-
peared to now who Mr.. Pursell was,
and Mr.. Gray did not take, the pains
to enlighten them. Commissioner
Pottgeiser was one of the members
opposed to the ~railroading through Of
a resolution dismissing an official who
has served the county as long as Mr..
Richardson.
IT don't understand this business,
and [ am not one who will vote to urn
a man out simply because he has had
a little personal trouble with a mem
Der of the county board. He should
be given a show"
Commissioner Gray admitted that the
present incumbent should be given an
opportunity to defend himself, and
withdrew the resolution temporarily.
Mr.. Gray explained that Mr.. Pursell
was an old soldier and that he had,
at times, been in the undertaking busi-
ness in st. Paul and Minneapolis.
Mr.. Richardson denied that he had
had any trouble of any kind with
Commissioner Gray, or n other mem
Der Of the county board, and he was
at a loss to know why such a resolu-
ton should be introduced at the

liam f. Smith, a real estate man, has
commenced action FOR a divorA from
the woman whom he~married in order
that hiss children by a former wife
might have a good home Nr.r~
Instead, however, OF installing his
children in, a happy home, Mr.. Smith
says the domestic relations between
him and his second wife have been
anything but pleasant, and that in
stead of treating his children as he
had expected she would, the woman
chased. them about the house and
called them names not calculated to
elevate the2nmoral standing Of his
home. .l
Oftens9 while at breakfast, says the
plaintiff, his wife would, in a fit of
anger, sieze a pancake or some break
fast food and throw it in his face, and
when he would come home to his eve
ming meal it was seldom. that he
found one had sbeen prepared for him.
once, when MS wife left him and re-
manned away several days, he refused
her admittanceft ITO the house when she
returned. Now"he seeks an absolute
divorce, and prays for an injunction
restraining her from interfering with
the children.

OLD SETTLERS
GATHER AGAIN
Men Who Came to Minnesota
Before '49 Hold Annual
Reunion.

With membership depleted by three
deaths within the year, the Old Set
tiers Association Of Minnesota held
its annual meeting at the state capi-
toI yesterday. There were present
twenty members-twenty men who
came to Minnesota previous to 1849.
n bravely facing the dangers and
privations Of pioneer life in the West
ern wilderness, remained through the
various stages Of civilization and at
all times took their prominent part
in the progress Of the community.
Each year the little company that
gathers for the annual meeting of this
organization is shrunken in numbers.
There are fewer to come, n those
who remain find it harder to come,
but that same determination which
brought them to the wild Northwest
more than fifty years ago impels
them to attend these meetings, and
they take great pride in answering
present" to the roll call. Those who
attended yesterday were:
Maj. B. H. Randall, Winona; J. D..
Ludden, William Pitt Murray, Oliver
Parson, w. H Tinker, P. H. Johnson,
Rev. A. Ravoux, Joseph Dion, Lorenzo
Hoyt, William L. Quinn, A. H. Cav
ender, S. Statler, John Hinkston, Ed
gar Folsom, S. P. Folsom, D. A. J. Ba-
ker, E. w. Durant, James McMuIlen,
A L. Larpenteur, J. B. CLANCY.
The association met first at the cap
itol, and from there went almost i'm
mediately to the Merchants hotel,
where the customary banquet took
place. Before the banquet a short
business meeting was held, the prin-
cipal matter for consideration being a
proposition from the Territorial Pho
neers that the Old Settlers join with
them every year in meeting at the log
cabin at the fair grounds. After some
discussion Accommodation was de-
ferred until the meeting of next year.
