ST.PAUL PIONEER
DIES At DEADWOOD
Cephas Carpenter Passes
Away Suddenly at the
Age of II.

Cephas Carpenter, pioneer of st
Paul. who operated a stage coach line
in the early days in Minnesota, and
later in the Black Hills and at Dead
wood, N. D., died suddenly of apoplexy
yesterday morning at Deadwood.
Though Mr.. Carpenter had operated a
stage line in the vicinity of Deadwood
during the past thirty years and was
also extensively interested in mines, he
he was we'll known and frequent Wis
itor. Mrs. Carpenter, his widow, and
his daughter, Miss Annie Carpenter,
reside at 598 st. Peter street
Ccphas Carpenter was seventy one
years old, and was b1rn at Moretown,
Vt. He came to Minnesota in 1855, and
became the owner of several stage
coaches which operated between ST.
Paul, ST. Anthony and other points. He
became associated with the j. C. Bur-
bank Staging company, and later form
ed a partnership which became well
known in the early days, under the
name of Blakeley & Carpenter, and
conducted an express, bus and staging
business for several years.
With the appearance of the railroads
the occupation of the stager was gone.
Mr.. Carpenter then went to the Black
Hills and established stage line which
he owned at the time of his death. Re-
Gently Mr.. Carpenter was widely in
terested in Black Hills mines.
Mr.. Carpenter married Miss c. Eliza
beth West, of Franklin, N H., who sur
wives him. Miss Annie Carpenter and
Blanchard Carpenter, of Gordon, Neb.,

at the receipt of the news of his sud-
den death. The funeral arrangements
have not yet been made.

CHILDREN TO HAVE
TWO new PUBLIC
PLAY GROUNDS SOON
Representatives of Civicleague,
School Board and Associated
Charities Meetat Commercial
Club and-Formulate Plans to
Secure Plots at Once.

The children of ST. Paul will have
the benefit of two new public play
grounds ere the next term OF School
commences, If the joint plans of the
Commercial club, Civic league, scnooi
board and associated charities DO not
fail of realization.
Failure was not in the air nor was
it mentioned at a meeting of the rep
resentatives of the interested organlza-
tions at the Commercial club yesterday.
committee on ways and means
headed by County Treasurer MetZdorf
is expected to guarantee the necessary
funds at a meeting to be held next
Monday, and by Thursday the COM
mittee on scheme will have it's plan
ready to submit and the cost estl-
mated.
To Be Part of School System.
The play ground project contem-
| plates regeneration of the civic league
and Associated charities play ground
system, allowed to lapse with the open
! ing of Harriet Island. The central
thought is not alone the furnishing of
play grounds for school children and
| the tots, but that ultimately title to
| the play grounds shall be vested in the
! city and become part OF the school
| system.
Few of the down town schools have
any play plots for the children. The
Washington, Franklin and Madison
schools are in the greatest need and
the vicinities of these schools will re-
ceive first attention.
Have Plots in View.
Mrs. Hamlin's committeeman believe
they will be able to secure plots near
the Washington school or between the
Washington and Franklin schools,
where one plot will serve for both. and
| have two plots in view near the
Madison school. The Civic league has
some apparatus removed from the West
Side play ground, near the Lafayette
school, and the Associated charities
have still some of the apparatus which
help make the Commons play ground
so popular. Forces will be joined and
with the addition of comparatively
small amount of cash a creditable
| start may be made at once.
The play grounds will be absolutely
democratic and their control probably
be vested in the Civic league. There
will be sand piles and swings for the
little ones, and experienced custodians
to teach games and encourage real
child life The project has been ex-
traordinarily successful in other cities
and the immense popularity of the
HarrietIsland play ground has only ac-
centuated realization of the public loss
in the discrimination of the West
Side and Commons play grounds.

PREPARE FOR A Big
FLORAL EXHIBIT
Second Annual Flower Show
Promises to Be a
Fine Affair.

The second annual flower show to
be held in ST. Paul in November, prom
ises to be the greatest floral exhibit
ever seen in Minnesota or the North
west.
AT meeting of the committees hav-
ing the exhibit in charge, held at the
rooms of the Northwestern Manufact-
urers association in the Endicott
building last night, there were present
florists from st. Paul, Minneapolis and
other points in the state, as well as
number of ST. PauIs most prominent
society women, who are interesting
themselves in the exhibit.
The meeting was a most enthusiastic
one, and it was agreed to increase the
premium list from 5000, the amount
paid out last year, to $1,000 and in this
manner it is believed an exhibit can be
secured which will extend over wide
range and one which will be very at
tractiye.
The show will be held at the state
capitol, and there will be a Colonial,
German, French and Japanese day.
AS result of the exhibit last year,
which was the maiden effort of the
promoters, much good resulted to Min
nesota, letters having been received
from all sections of the country ex-
pressing surprise that floral shows
could be held in Minnesota as late as
November, there being general i'm
preston prevalent abroad that Mime
sofa was an ice bound state in lIovem-
Der.
The exhibit is given under the auspi-
ces of the women's auxiliary to the
Northwestern Manufacturers associa-
ton, which is anxious to impress upon
the people that the show is open to the
general public.

Without a cry the little fellow sank

times, but, as the current was very
swift, he was soon carried away and
was not seen again.
Hubert, -transfixed with fright, stood
dumb and saw his companion rise and
sink the first time without uttering a
cry. When the boy had disappeared
for the second time Hubert realized
what had happened and ran towards a

a hundred feet.

There were five men in the group,

little fellow had fallen. They saw the
tiny head bob up and then instantly
disappear in the surging water. One
Of the men, Frank Stersven, seized a
long stick which. he poked into the wa

the last time the effort proved of no
avail. The other men stood motionless
and made no attempt TO rescue the
boy.
The alarm was soon spread. Hubert
ran up towards the depot crying wildly

they intended to dive for the boy, on

the stream, the project was abandoned.
Breaks News to Her Father
Hubert Brandt hurried to the home
of his drowned companion and inform
ed the family. One of the daughters
ran to Matt Hansen's place of business
and told her father, who Immediately
hurried to the levee. Mrs. Hansen and
neighbors soon followed.
Mrs. Hansen rushed from the house
without stopping to take a hat or
cloak, and the girls also fastened away
without hats. While running breath
lessly towards the river Cora Hansen
fell to the ground from exhaustion.
Arriving at the scene of the tragedy
Mrs. Hansen became frenzied, and only
the strength of her husband and Mr.
Middleton saved her from following her
son into the water.
Matt Hansen, who conducts a saloon
at East Seventh and Sibley streets,
said that he had forbidden his son to
go to the river, as he had learned that
the little fellow had been in the habit
of frequenting the levee near the Mil

CITY NEWS
WANTS CARNIVALARCH
AT APPROACH TO BATHS
Dr.. Ohage Would Remove 1t to Harriet
Island, if Possible.

Health Commissioner Ohage has an
idea.
He wants to remove the big arch
used by the carnival association at
Ninth and Cedar streets to the ap-
proach to the public baths and re-erect
it.
The two obelisks forming the arch,
however, are but a temporary wooden
frame work, covered with plaster de-
signs in relief, and he has been inform
ed that their removal is practically i'm
possible.
DR.. Ohage thinks that by some proc
ess the two obelisks might be made
permanent, and yesterday consulted
several architects, but they did not
give him much satisfaction. The gen
eral belief was that they could not be
removed without great damage to the
plaster, and at the same time the cost
would be out of proportion to their
lasting qualities.
The arch cost the carnival association
nearly $500, and was considered one of
the prettiest ever erected in st. Paul

He Likewise Considers the Land Bill

THE bill may now be regarded as
past all danger. If it works as it is
confidently hoped'i it will, there is no
question that it will effect revolution
in the condition of Ireland. A salts
factory home rule bill appears more
probable today than the land bill, which
is just about to be passed, looked year
ago. 1 feel quite sure that the nation
