THE TROCHA IS CUT.
Railroad Fence Barring Access to
Minnehaha Pavilions Is
Badly Wrecked,
Resorts Resume Traffic Thru Newly
Opened Gateway Railroad
Vows Vengeance.

Lawless destruction Of property has
superseded the sedate legal sparring which
has marked the controversy over the pa
vilions at hTinnehaha Having secured the
specific approval Of the court. the Milwau-
kee railroad company proceeded to erect
the now historic wire fence along its right
of way, effectually shutting off access to
the pavilions. Last night unknown per-
sons with wire cutters attacked the bar
rier at points where it would do the most
good. This morning seven panels of, the
fine wire fence. had disappeared Seven
gaping holes exist in the railroads de-
lenses and gateways are furnished thru
which the crowds may go at will to the
buildings.
This move has caused considerable ex-
citement among Minnehaha residents who
are interested III discriminating the pavil-
ions and who were instrumental in hav-
ing the fence Built.
Further trouble seems assured for the
railroad officials have been notified of the
depreciation and have expressed them
selves as being Of the opinion that the
end Is not yet.
1T Is a serious thing to destroy railroad
property" said a man connected with the
Milwaukee road this morning. "Of course
it will be difficult to catch the vandals
but every effort will be made to locate the
right parties. The openings in the fence
are so evidently placed for the benefit Of
the various pavilions that the purpose Of
the work seems plain If the proprietors

FAIR PRIVILEGE SALE
It Will Be Held at State Fair
Grounds Saturday, Aug. l..

Lyman D. Baird Of Austin, Mimi, SUE
perintendent of privileges for the Min
nesota state fair, announces that the an
nual privilege sale will be held on the
fair grounds, midway between Minneapo-
lis and st. Paul, on Saturday, Aug. 1, at
10 a. m. Previous to that time no con-
cessions will be, allowed and all applicants
for privileges will be treated alike. When
the sale opens Aug. 1, the places allawed
for concessioners will be knocked down
AT auction to the highest bidder. the arc-
tioneer proceeding from lot to lot as rap
idly as possible. These annual sales Of
privileges are rather picture sque affairs.
They draw together crowds composed Of
many diverse elements ranging from
cheap fakirs to the committees Of ladies
from church societies which desire to run
refreshment stands. Competition for the
best places Is usually very spirited. It Is
expected that prices will range high this
year as the Minnesota, state fair has a
first rate reputation among people who
have something to sell to a crowd and the
prospects for the coming fair are so
bright that privilege buyers are very like
| ly to be numerous and eager for places.
The board Of managers will hold an
important meeting tomorrow, beginning
at 10 a. M, at the office on the fair
grounds There will be reports Of prog
ress and needs from the superintendent
of divisions and a general clearing up Of
business all along the line. AS the. fair
opens within six weeks there is much to
be done from now until Aug. 81.

BANKS ARE FIRMER
Statistics Collected by Public Exam.

Last Year.
Deposits Are Larger and So Are
the Reserves and

Public Examiner s. T. Johnson issued
a statement to-day concerning the con-
dltioE Of MINES banks He declares
that they are on a more solid foundation
than last year, and that there is no rea-
son for sounding notes Of alarm
He reaches his conclusion by analysing
the condition Of state and national banks
on June 9, and comparing it with former
years. Said Mr.. Johnson;-
The aggregate deposits Of state and

increase Of 30,390,0 OH. Much If this in
crease was due to- the large number of
big land deals pending at that time which
caused large sums of money to be lying
idle in the banks. The deposits OH June
9, 1903, were .$14e,242,7So, an increase over

So, COL ,84S. Il e'' -
On June ofsthis year the state banks
had a cash reserve amounting to SO per
cent OF their deposit Liabilities, while the
law requires only 20 per cent. The ma
tional banks had a cash reserve of rs per
cent, and are only required to carry is
per cent except In reserve cities.
The banks; of the state Of Minnesota. as
demonstrated by these figures, are in an
in1pregnable position. Taking into con
sideration the fact that they have far less
past due paper than they have held any
year since 1893, and the fact that in the
midst Of wild land speculation our banks
| have Kept clear Of credit backed only b,
that kind Of security, it Is evident thai
very great progress in strength and con.
SENTATIVE business has been made since

become universal among our bankers since
last year, will be continued, and no feal
eed be had cocerning the stability of oul
fanc1al institutions"

AHEAD OF THE GAME.
Several City Departments Spend
Money in Excess Of Their
Appropriations.
Police Department Will Show a De.
felt Others May Finish With
a Good Surplus.

City Controller Joshua Rogers in his
semi-annual report to the council on the
condition Of the city's current expense
fund shows that some OF the departments
have spent more during the first six
months Of the year than they will have
at their disposal for the coming six
months. Out Of a total appropriation Of
$1,o2s,1 65. 80 for the current expenses
$512. 1852 has already been expended
leaving 9 balance Of $510,618.6S.
The fire department is more than $780,
900 ahead Of the game, but as this money
has gone largely for supplies. which will
last during the year, the department does
not expect deficit. 1t is otherwise with
the police department, and unless the
sails are trimmed to meet the appropria-
ton this department will show a big de-

zoo GLACIERS OUT
They Want to Force Big Employers
to Recognize Their
Union.
Firms Affected Say Time Favors
Them Because Business
Is Dull.

Because the larger dealers in plate,
loaded and window glass have refused to
recognize the union, some two hundred
glass workers went out on a strike this
morning and with the exception of one
small unionized shop there will be Moth
ing doing in glass work for several days.
The putty glaciers have been out on a
strike for shorter hours at the same pay
for about ten weeks. The strike affected
about thirty men and promised to be a
success until Forman, Ford & Co. decided
a short time ago to employ non-union
glaciers. The other union glass workers
refused to work with these men and the
conference between Frank w. Forman, Of
the company, and a committee from the
glass workers union gave no comfort to
the union, so it was decided last night to
go on strike and the strike was on to-day.
Forman, Ford & Co., the Pittsburgh Plate
Glass company and Ford Brothers have
discontinued all work for local use in
loaded or other mounted glass. The one
shop which is not affected began business
Jan. 1 and was careful enough to unionize
it's shop. This morning the glass workers
met at Alexanders hall and formally de-
clared the strike on and this afternoon the
three principal officers of the union were
back at work in the unionized shop where
access to them was denied to all.
Statements from the principal glass
houses Of the city indicate that the strike,
which is sympathetic, will have little. eff
feet on the business. gs.5
Our men didn't want to quit as they
were perfectly, satisfied with their hours,
their pay and their treatment. They were

quences.
"A strike will not affect US much, any

isn't much work in town. The out-of-

BIG SHIPPING FEAT.
8o,o0o,ooo Bushels Of Wheat to Be
Carried Out Of Canada in
Thirty Weeks.
Estimate Of Northern Transporta-
ton Men Last Years Record
Already Broken.

!, Sixty million bushels of wheat in thirty
weeks-that is what Canadian railroad
men now say they can do in the way Of
moving the crop OF the Canadian North
west out or the interior. Thomas Har
ling general manager Of the Canadian
Lake and Ocean Steamship company, has
announced that with additions recently
made to the Canadian fleets, the above
quantity of grain can be handled in the
time given.
Since navigation opened, June 80, 1885,
877 bushels of grain have been shipped
from Montreal, against $4,000 bushels
for the same period last year. It is plain
MIR. Harling argues, that if the Canadian
grain interests have any complaints as to
the length Of time required to ship from
Liverpool, these should fall on facilities
entirely back Of the lakes.
By the end of this season, Mr.. Harling
thinks, at least 3OOOO,O 900 bushels more
grain than ever before moved in season
will have been carried away, from Ca
madam seaports&a and east of the seaboard,
lack of elevator facilities are the only re-
manning handicap to continued In

.QUIGLEY BOYS CASE.
Officers of the State School at Owa-
tonna Will Demand an In
+ vestigation.
s g = = = - = ------- IL
They Say Charges Are Unfounded
and Suggest Board of Con-
troll Inquiry.

Officers Of the state school at ,Owatonna
will demand that the case involving the
three Qufgley boys Of Minneapolis be thor
oily investigated by the board of control.
The boys were sent to, the school upon the
solicitation of Mrs. Clara Quigley, 3209
Twenty first avenue s, and in accordance
with the rules Of the institution were, af
ter a time, found homes in farmers fami-
lies. The mother says they were grossly
mistreated. She has brought James and
William back home, and Is endeavoring to
get Harry away from Joseph Zins, a Nicol-
let county farmer.
G. A. Merrill, superintendent of the
state school, says that the two boys now
in Minneapolis are Is and II years Of age
respectively, that they are beyond re-
5demption by the humane means used at
the school, and that there is no reason for
their being returned there. He says that
boys run away because they have had no
previous training and are impatient Of any
restraint, preferring the free life they have
been accustomed to.
AS to the child labor law, Mr.. Merrill
says the children adopted from the school
into home are treated, as a rule, just as
we'll as tho they had been born in their
new homes. Any farmers children are
expected to work in the fields or elsewhere
as occasion demands. They are allowed
to attend school, and as a. rule are in good
homes.
The case Of the Quigley boys was not
out of the ordinary, not less than six per-
sonal letters were written to neighbors
and reliable people asking concerning the
families they were with, and, according
to Superintendent Merrill's statement, the
homes into which the three boys went
were well recommended. The boys have
frequently been visited by representatives
Of the school, and, it is claimed were con-
tented until interfered with and induced
to run away. An investigation convinced
the school officials that the charges
against the Zins family were also un-
founded The records Of the board In
charge Of the school show the following in
regard to this investigation of the case:
"The report Of Mr.. lager of his investi-
cation Of the situation Of Mrs. Clara Quig-
ley, who petitioned for the return of her
boys, James M, Harry B. and William 4
Quigley, was given careful consideration
IN view of the fact that the boys had been
placed out in other homes before the
mother applied for them and the reports
OF our agent showed that they were well
treated and that it was the opinion Of the
agent after personally investigating the
mothers home that she could not give
them proper care and attention, 1t was de-
cided that it would not be for the best In
terests Of the boys to be removed from
their homes in the country and returned
to their mother. Therefore, on motion
the request was denied.
mir. Merrill states: I would urge that
these complaints be left with the board OF
control Of state institutions for investiga-
ton.
