aid of his father, the North wind,
and his uncles, the South, East
and West wind spirits, he was
soon gone and out of sight. At
daydreak the next morning he
found himself near the glittering
shores of the Suns island home;
he hastily stepr: :, ashore and
after concealing his canoe, sat
down a moment to dertermine
what course was best to pursue
to procure fire. Now Waynah-
boozho had the power to assume
the shape of almost any animal he
desired, so he changed himself
into rabbit and he proceeded to
drench himself with water and
sand, then he lay himself down
close to the waters edge, appa-
rently more dead than alive. Press
emily two OF the Suns pretty
daughters came to the beach to
to draw water with which to
shower Nature with the crystal
beads of the morning dew. One
of them saw the poor, forlorn
looking rabbit, and she called her
sisters attention to the pitiable
object; they could not tell what it
was, having never seen anything
like it before, however, their hearts
were touched with pity and they
concluded to take it home to their
fathers wigwam and beg him to
smile on the poor half-drowned
creature, so that it might get
warmed and revived.
When they got home the Sun
was already awake and everything
was warm and pleasant inside OF
the sacred lodge, OF course no
question was asked by the spirits
guarding the entrance as they
were subject to the daughters as
we'll as to the Sun, So they passed
in unmolested and tenderly laid
down their burden and went about
their work, soon the rabbit began
to show signs Of life by jumping
up and skipping about the lodge
at a very lively rate and greatly
to the amusement of the two
daughters, this soon attracted the
attention of the Sun, and he asked
his daughters what this was that
they had brought into the lodge,
rebuking them for admitting
strangers in his presence without
first asking his permission. While
conversation was going on, the
rabbit had come and sat down op-
posite the Sun and within easy
exit of the door; there he sat, IN
the most matter of fact way, NOV
ing his long ears to and fro and
twitching his lips and nose in a
most amusing and ridiculous fash
ion. while in this position the Sun
happened to look at him, and sc
comical did the rabbit seem that
he could not restrain a smile OF
merriment escaping him, and its
glittering rays rested between the
rabbits shoulders! AS soon as this
had taken place, Waynahboozo'
(for it was hey caught spark of tho
fiery ray on a small piece OF punk
he had fastened between his shoul
ders and darted out of the lodge
and sped like an arrow from the
bow, towards where his canoe lay
concealed. and less time than i
takes us to write this, he was OF
and far away ON his return voy
age homeward: When the Sur
discovered what had been done ht
hid his face and bid his daughters
the clouds, forthwith to weel

the spark of fire Way-nah-bozht
had stolen, but SO swift did TIM

before them, that it was foune
impossible to overtake him. Ane

MORE FOR SMELLING
Loren Fletcher Has Been in q. Wash e'l-.
ington Arranging for Bigger
Appropriations.
He Has Also Been Helping to In.
sure Support for River
Work.

Laying foundation for Minnesota APP
preparations was the task Of Former Con-
gresham Loren Fletcher at Washington.
He returned home this morning. He has
practically secured abundant funds, he
says, for enlarging Fort Smelling, for COM
pleting the Mississippi locks and dams
between the twin cities, and for finishing
reservoirs near the source OF the big
river
''All these appropriations" says Mr..
Fletcher. ARE based, Of course. on esti-
mates furnished by the war department.
But Washington departments must some
times be shown helped to do the
showing.
Minnesota men have convinced the
war department, think. that Fort Shell
ing Is the ideal location for military
post from strategic, hygienic and other
standpoint. The department now be-
| lieves that the $l,1oo,Oo0 already appro-
priated won't be enough, and that 1t must
be increased to $4,000, 900 at least That
will be done, no doubt. Then within three
years we shall have at Smelling the finest
military post in the country. The gar
rison will be more than doubled.
I'VE also pointed out to the department
| that 100000 more will be needed for the
| river dams between here and st. Paul
The former appropriation would have fin
| ished the work If there hadn't been sc
big g. rise In the cost Of labor and ma

will be ready for use, the channel Will
be cleared three feet of water will be as.

.Curbstone Greeks Want to Shut Of
Competition From Greek
Store Proprietors.

War is on between Minneapolis
Greeks and before peace is declared the
peanut stands will have to go out Of bust
ness. The Greek curbstone peddlers OBJ
ject to the competition OF the outdoor
stands operated by the large fruit and
candy stores and when John Nieman dis
covered an ordinance against obstruct-
ing the sidewalk with any money making
device, he swore out awarrant against
Piero Maroosis, proprietor of the Arcadia
candy store.
In court this morning Greek Joined
Greek with heated testimony Nieman
had an array of witnesses and was
confident. He proved that Maroosis
had sidewalk peanut stand and that sales
were made every day. The defendant
conducted his own case and tried to make
Nteman admit that he was cheap flower
peddler and a law breaker himself The
court interfered and fined Maroosis S..
Peter Maroosis and John Marini fruit
buyers for Piero, were charged with sell
ing fruit on the sidewalk. Peter was
found not guilty, but John was fined and

'HAHA Line
Believed to Be the Ultimate Idea
Back Of Bows Bridge
Plan.
His First Step Will Be Bridging the
Creek at Twenty-eighth
Avenue South.

Alderman Dennis G. Bow Of the twelfth
ward has begun a campaign for q bridge
across Minnehaha creek at Twenty eighth
avenue 8, and he wants good one-either
a solid stone arch affair or a substantial
one Of steel. He expected no trouble in
securing a bridge. but his next task will
be a much greater one. The bridge Is
intended principally to pave the way, as
it were, for another street car line in
that part Of the city. The alderman be-
lieves there should be two lines to Min
nehaha, and this will become more. APP
parent as this part Of the city develops.
particularly If the trolley system Is ex-
tended to Fort Smelling. Is
AS it Is now, the street railway COM
pany is badly handicapped in carrying the
immense throngs that go to Minnehaha
on Sundays, even tho the cars are run
at frequent intervals. Residents at Min
nehaha and along the line are forced tt
remain at home on Sunday, for it Is i'm
possible to squeeze into cars going In
either direction after noon
Alderman Bow will not admit that he
has any intimation. or that the street
railway company has any intention Of
building or extending any lines in this
direction. His idea is than an extension
of the Chicago avenue line along Thirty
eighth, or, better still, Thirty sixth street
to Twenty eighth avenue, and out the
latter to Minnehaha, would solve the Min.
nehaha and Fort Smelling problem, tht
the CecdT and Bloomington avenue lines
readily lend themselves to the genera
proposition.

Music is apparently more essential than

William F. Lothamer Of the poor depart
ment has discovered that a family which
had been drawing food and fuel from the
city for years had bought a handsome
piano and was paying for it on the in

the people that they must buy their fue

Presumably this family was once in actua

city, but when It became self-sustainine
the fact was concealed.
Inspector Lothamer has now checked W

regular applicants for aid for severa
years, have been cut off as they were
found to be capable of becoming self sup

NEW MARK FOR JUNE COLD

Mid-June.

This mornings unofficial tip from the
local weather bureau reads: NOW buy
straw hats with confidence. The worst
Is over
But it was a very Icy wave for June, .
says Section Director T. G. Outram. "The
minimum temperature reached Thursday
morning was only 40 degrees above. That
was the coolest record for June H., or,
in fact, for any June day after the 7th
recorded since the local weather station
was established, thirteen ytos ago.
''Last year we had a June cold wave
that was almost as severe. The temporal
ture fell to A on June 81 and to 4S on
June 20, which seemed colder at those
dates than 40 would have seemed ten
days earlier. In 1892, an the very last
day Of June, the mercury dropped to Al
above.
But the chilliest June that history re-
cords hereabouts was the 1897 June. The
average temperature was the very low

only few degrees above the freezing

One regret expressed by the German
agrculturtsts while in the twin cities was
that they had not arranged for more time

ing importance and would have liked to
examine its industries more closely.
At a banquet by the German -Ameri-
can club last night at the Commercial

a citizen Of Kaiser Wilhelms realm and
every other man was an American citizen

English would have sufficed. Following

CROPS WILL Be HEAVY
No Complaint Of Conditions at Prin-

on the G. P. r.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Winnipeg, Man, June 13.-The Canadian Pa
cidc railroad yesterday issued crop report
which includes telegraphic dispatches from its
agents at all principal wheat growing centers.
Among the large number received there is not
one word Of complaint, save possibly from Gret-
ma, where it is said that rain is now required.
Some of the districts have had slight frost,
but this has not done any damage. Others re-
port larg. rainfall, which evidently at one
time caused alarm, as the bennington, N. W. T.
agent says: 1.-THE rain did not do any harm
here; we shall have better crops than ever"
Some districts again speak Of the well ad-
vanced state Of the growth and on the whole,
up to the present the conditions could not have
been improved, and the prospects for another
magnificent crop were never better.

Not only is an increase shown in grain, but IL
all the other branches Of farming there is {
corresponding development. More cattle were
finished during the winter, and dafrying is rapidly
becoming one Of the features OF the country.
Farmers have learned that it is mistake tt
leave of engaging help necessary to garner

this year taken the precaution to provide in ad
vance. It is estimated that 5,15s additional
male laborers and 3,153 females will be sufficien
to meet the needs Of the province during the har

HOW TO PURIFY WATER
The Ozone Process Witnessed by
Fifty City Officials at

Niagara Falls, N. Y, June 13.-Profes-
sor Otto Of France yesterday made sue
cessful demonstration Of the ozone pro-
cess of purifying water It was wit
messed by fifty officials Of this city and
Lockport. An electric current Of $4,000
volts was sent through a cylinder ozon-
izer thru which air passed. and as the air
met the electrical discharges the oxygen
was burned, creating ozone. This ozone
was carried to the sterilizing tower by
two pipes. The unpurif1ed water entered
the tower at the top, and there. In spray
form, first met the ozone. AS it flowed
downward thru fine granite it again met
the ozone, completing the process. The
water product was clear as crystal. It is
stated that from 80 to 40 electrical horse
power will treat 5000 tons Of water day.
Later Professor Otto will demonstrate the
process before the leading scientists Of
the country.

ASKS FOR new TRIAL
Arguments in the Case Of Secretary
w. H. johnson Heard by
Judge Elliott.
The Indictment Is Attacked and
Errors in the Trial Are
Alleged.

Arguments for new trial in the VIII
liam H. Johnson case were heard by Judge
Elliott this morning. Judge John H.
Steele and A. II. Hall appeared for the
defendant, and Assistant County Attorney
G. s.. Jelley for the state After nearly
two hours Of talk an adjournment was
taken to Monday.
Mr.. johnson, secretary Of the city board
of charities and corrections, was recently
convicted Of Misrepresentation of public
funds. Sentence was deferred by the mo-
ton for new trial. Should it be granted
the trial will probably take place next
term, while. II the court overruled the
motion an appeal to the supreme court
will be taken at once.
The main point urged by the defense is
that the indictment Is defective in that it
does not state that the money, said to
have been misappropriated, was received
by virtue Of the defendants tenure OF
office. It is also urged by the defense
that there are important errors in the
record chief among which is the adm!s-
sion of evidence Of the withholding OF
money subsequently to the charge in the
| Indictment.
