Sir Henry Keppel. who celebrated his ninety
fifth birthday a few weeks ago. is very proud OF
the fact that he had the honor of imprinting
a kiss upon the cheek of the late Queen Victoria.
The incident occurred when ne little boy
and the future Queen of England and Empress of
India little girl at Kensington Palace There
is another royal kiss which Sir Henry takes
pleasure in recalling. He in the royal box at
Ascot when King Edwards horse Persimmon won
the Derby, and Queen Alexandra, then Princess
of Wales, in her delight at her husbands victory
threw her arms impuSively around the old soldiers
neck and kissed him both cheeks.

The prediction Of the modistes that linen shirt
waists will be worn far into the winter, If not
through that season, makes the purchase or home
manufacture of these garments a good investment
Last winter witnessed the successful launching OF
the wash waist, which had hitherto been considered
unreasonable. Now that women have found out
that linen waists euinently suited for cold
weather service. the shirtwaist may be said
to last practically all the year round.
On the fall linen blouses. in those Of the sum-
mer. hand embroidery and fine stitchery Of all
kinds will run riot. The vogue Of this fine hand
work places really beautiful waists within the
reach of the expert needlewoman who has time at
her disposal. In small cities and country towns
great many women have leisure which, considering
the continued popularity OF elaborate hand work on
waists, may well be employed in such work
The loose front and snug or semi-snug back, with
pouch sleeves, will hold their places in popular
favor 1t is said. Innings are less and less used but
the long shoulder effect which seems TO go with
the low bust line and straight front. will continue
to dominate,

GRAND K. OF P. TRIBUNAL
New Court of Settlement of State
knights and Sis
tiers Adjourn,

A grand tribunal for the adjudication Of
state questions was established yesterday
by the grand lodge, knights Of Pythias, IN
session at ST. Paul. The members of the
new court are to be nominated by the
grand chancellor and confirmed by the
grand lodge. The first tribunal, thus Sc
lected yesterday, is composed Of Clyde
w Stillson of Duluth, chief tribune;
Arthur L. Jones, Minneapolis, and R. j.
Angus, Fergus Falls, associate tribunes.
The tribunal appointed as It's recorder p.
D. Godfrey Of st. Paul.

CREEK BED NEEDED
Bassett's Creek Will Be a Creek
Sometimes Even if Cutoff
Is Dug.
So Says Sewer Engineer-But Cut
off Would Be Of Great
Benefit.

"Bassetts creek willsnever run dry, even
If 1t is diverted to Cedar lake and Mime
haha," says Sewer Engineer Carl Ilstrup.
II notice that many of the people inter-
ested in the Bassett's creek problem infer
that there will be no creek in the city
at all when Mr.. Henrys plans are COM
pleted. This will not be the case, and
it would not be desirable even if it were
possible. North Minneapolis needs Bas-
sett's creek to assist in carrying off the
surplus rainfall. It is absolutely out Of
the question to think of caring for all
the rainfall by sewers; not from an en-
gineering standpoint, but on account Of
the great. expense. On account Of the
formation Of the land, water will collect
In the valley in great quantities after
heavy rains and the present creek must
assist in carrying it off.
The proposed ditch from the creek
to Cedar lake will greatly relieve the sit
uation, but it will not take all Of the
water In Bassett's creek, for the latter,
in addition to being the outlet for Medi-
cine lake, is also the outlet for Keegan' 8
lake, Twin lakes and other small bodies
Of water which discharge below the point
from which the proposed cutoff ditch to
Cedar lake is planned.
I'm order to guard against repetition
of the floods in the Bassetts creek val
ley, it may be necessary to establish gates
at the outlets of the various lakes feed
ing Bassett's creek, to hold back the wa
ter in cases Of excessive rainfall.
THE spirit shown by the North Siders
In this matter is very comm endable and
they should keep the agitation up until
provisions have actually been made for
providing the necessary funds. The North
Side is more directly interested in the
matter than other portions Of the city,
but If the proposed improvement is a
public matter, it will be Of benefit to the
whole community
The feasibility of F. M. Henry's plan
is confirmed by Professor F. w. Sarde-
son of the state university, who has
studied the geology of that part Of the
county, and who formally suggested a plan
similar to Mr.. Henry's to the city engi-
neer three years ago.

made to Judge aHrrison this morning

The young woman had married man
six. years her junior and only Is, in 1899.

a good deal. April Z, a year ago. my hus-
band came home drunk. I read him a lit

Since then I have not seen nor heard di-

legal separation. Desertion was al
legged and proved.
Susan Schumacher told her troubles to

SOME HAT DREAMS
Big Millinery Opening Is On at Min
neapolis Dry Goods Store Today.
A Grand Prix Hat Was the Object of
I Many Envious Eyes.

There is a beautiful display Of rich mil
linery at the Minneapolis Dry Goods COM
pany store this season. The department.
has been greatly enlarged and improved
In every way and there was something OF
revelation in store for the hundreds of
women who attended the first fall open
ing to-day. There were palms, cut flow
ers and goldenrod in profusion, and the
large floor space was literally covered
with the splendidly colored oriental rugs.
And the hats-they simply beggared de-
scription. There was so many of them,
and all of them SO different. Hats from
Paris firms famous for their artistic pro-
auctions, hats from the leading New York
importers and makers, hats designed in
the millinery department Of the Mime
apolis' by Miss Wesselman, whose name
is we'll known to, lovers of fine hats in the
city; hats, In fact, from every fashion
center that can boast of originality and
artistic skill.
The opening was treat for every
woman fortunate enough to be present,
and there was headgear to satisfy the
bulgy or the gaunt purse.
Possibly the gem of the whole magnifi-
cent collection was the Grand Prx hat
designed by Virot G. Benthe, firm IA
nous the world over. The body of the hat
was made Of MORE velour and it's high
crown was circled with exquisite Jacque-
mihot roses shaded from the deepest red
to the palest pink. There were three
Prince of Wales tips in front and wide
lace streamers in the back. The creation
was something to talk about and Won
der at. Many a woman lost her heart to
the Grand Prix.
Another beauty was designed by Nine
Pouyanne. It had an ermine crown and
was edged with the same fur. It was
trimmed with shirred malin and valen-
ciennes lace, and beautiful white snake
plume found it's way gracefully around
the crown. Pompons gave it a final grace
full touch.
There were other beautifully designed
hats from FIeitz- Boyer, Virot, jesse and
other famous designers.
! There were many modest black hats of
beautiful material in the way of Persian
aigrettes.
| The pattern rooms in the department
are attractively furnished and perfect
| in appointments. Roses and palms are
there plentifully On the divans are beau
tiful oriental throws and the floors are
strewn with oriental rugs.
| The department is making speciality of
pretty bonnets for elderly women and a
splendid selection has been provided.
Cloak and Suit Department..
| There have been many changes in the
cloak and suit department, which adj
joins the millinery parlors. There are
new wardrobe rooms and new furnishings
throughout The stock is new and one
Of the largest ever brought to the north
west. The prevailing colors are black
blue and browns, and there are any mum.

LIMBS STRAIGHT NOW
Successful Operations on Little
Eleanor Skinner.

Little Eleanor Skinner Of Oakland ave
nue., this city, whose treatment by Dr.
Lorenz has attracted attention among
surgeons arrived a day or two ago from
Chicago, where the final operation was
performed by DR.. Mueller. DR.. Mueller
and the parents say that the Lorenz oper-
alton was complete success and that by
the middle of October, when the present
cast is taken off, the little girl will be
perfect physically. g.
Eleanor suffered from a double congen-
ital dislocation of the hips. She appeared
to be crippled for life. Her limbs were
worked and twisted by DR.. Lorenz until
they stood out at right angles from the
body, when the trunk and the limbs to
the knee were encased in a plaster cast
in the hope that the missing sockets
would eventually be formed thru the pull
of the tendons, the play at the joint and
the course of nature. This cast remained
on several months and when removed. all
that was expected had been accomplished.
The next operation was to bring the limbs
to their normal position, for which an
other cast was necessary. This was per-
formed by DR., Mueller ...-.

room.
Mrs. Ellie Steele, the COMPLIMENTS

play Of feeling. She related how, between

tened to ascertain the cause of the
screams. She found Hayes, whom she
positively Identified this morning, leaning
over the bed Of the girl
Before I hardly knew what had hap
pened the man struck me in the head
with his fist" explained the witness. HE
hit me several times and once in the ear
which bled profusely. The attack stunned
me and before could do anything more
the man had grabbed Ruby and dragged
her out of the window. grabbed her
feet but was not strong enough to keep
him from pulling her thru the window, out
onto the roof and off it to the ground
Following this Mrs. Steele related how
a search was instituted and later the girl
was found bruised, bleeding and almost
unconscious in the corn field back of the

Habit of Following" Causes Bad
Condition of Streets in North ::
.~.-.= Minneapolis.
Appropriation Of $4,000 Will Be
Asked to Improve Suburban
Thorofares.

Transfers are often the greatest en-
emies of good roads. The teamsters for
the big lumber companies on the North
Side do more to destroy the roads than
all other agencies combined, including the
rains. 1t is the teamsters that cause the
ruts, for the habit Of following" has be-
come second nature with them, and no
amount of advice from their employers is
of any avail.
c. A. Smith and c. A. Bovey, represent
ing the big lumbermen of the North Side,
admitted this deplorable state of affairs.
when discussing the matter of paving In
North Minneapolis. Between Twenty
fourth and Twenty sixth avenues NJ
Washington avenue Is in very bad con-
dition, but as there was nothing before
the council paving committee, the mat
ter Of interesting the property owners to
agree on some kind Of pavement was re-
ferred to the lumbermen
The committee refused to interfere be-
tween the First ward aldermen and the
property owners on Thirteenth avenue NE
in the matter Of selecting a paving max
teria1 for that street. The aldermen have
ordered creosoted blocks, but the prop
erty owners now clamor for granite. This
cannot be obtained this season, but the
taxpayers seem to want it any way. The
first ward aldermen and their constituents
were told to fight their battles at home.
$4,000 for Good Roads.
An appropriation Of $4,000 for beginning
the work of improving the main arteries
of travel from the center of the city to
the country is recommended by the coun-
cil's special committee on good roads. A
report to that effect will be presented to
the council tomorrow evening and the
council will undoubtedly request the board
Of tax levy to include such sum for
street improvements in the levy for 1904.
Favor Street Vacation.
The council committee on railroads has
voted to favor the application Of the Chi
| cago Great Western Railway company fo1
the vacation of Eleventh avenue north OF
Second street, Twelfth avenue north OF
First street and half block on First
street between Eleventh and Twelfth ave-
nues. AS the railway company owns al
the land on both sides Of the streets which
are to be vacated, the streets will become

purposes.
