equal strength. He had conquered sick
ness and was robust and healthy.
Then he went to Harvard, where he
was distinguished as cean-mlnded
scholar, a manly young man and an
athlete. The taste for letters that was
there begun and the ability TO tell the
truth as he saw II, and to see all that
was going on, made him an editor Of
the Harvard Advocate. He graduated
from Harvard In 1880 not at the head
OF his class, but above the middle; has
since been an honor TO his Alma Ma

of the other colleges, where the stu
dents and even the alumni are apt to
be late in appreciation Of the fellows
from other institutions.

NOTHING FOR HARRIET
Park Board Decides on Course for
Summer Action on Manning
Plan Deferred.

Nothing will be done at Lake Harriet
by the park board this year. This has
been definitely decided.
The board has for some time had under
consideration a proposition from Warren
II. Manning of Boston Mass, a landscape
artist of national repute, to plan park
system for Minneapolis at an expense to
the city Of $1,000. For this sum he will
make four trips to Minneapolis and do
whatever may be required the city to pay
travelling expenses and expenses for cler-
ical work and drafting. Action on the
proposition was deferred until the next
meeting.
Permission was given Jacob Barnet to
increase the capacity Of the pavilion at
Minnehaha Falls. An addition of 30x6O
will be provided. Mr.. Barnet was also
authorized to give band concerts at Min
nehaha and will open next Sunday eve
ming with a concert by The Minneapolis
Journal Newaboys' band.
It was decided to move the lighthouses
at Lake Calhoun to a point on the south
east shore Of the lake close to the trolley
line which will make them much easier
Of access. The removal win be made at
once.
Notwithstanding the objections Of Com
missioner Harry w. Jones, it was decided
to plant flowers along the parkway thru
the university grounds, which was the
scene of a conflict between the students
and the park police q year ago.

WEEK CLOSED COLD
Climate and Crop Service Bulletin.
for Past Week.

Hhe Minnesota, climate and crop service
bulletin Of the weather bureau, for the
past week is summarized as follows:
The early part of the week was moderately
warm but the week closed with decidedly lower
temperatures. In the western part of the state
as far south as Big Stone, Swift and Kandiyohi
countless there was little or no rains during the
week, and all conditions were favorable for the
healthy and rapid growth of wheat. oats and
barley, and the termination and early growth of
fax, potatoes and corn. There are small areas
still to be seeded to fax and barley.
In the southern part OF the state, from the
Minnesota valley southwark, the heavy rains of
the preceding week continued till the morning Of
the 9th. and there were scattered showers in
the extreme southeast till the morning of the
2Sth. All the streams are overfowed, with con-
siderable damage to bridges and roadways; the
lowlands are flooded. and the level and heavy
lands thoroly soaked with water that
work In the soil, such as corn and potato plant
Ing and cultivating, was entirely stopped. In
many counties the intended for corn will
have to be reduced In some places to as much
as half; these lands will be either abandoned
for the season sown to millet or fodder corn
The weeds are growing so that when cultivation
Is begun they will be serious hindrance. It is
said that the water level, shown by the lakes
is much higher than for great many years.
On the high and light lands the small grains look
well, but the level lands they show the effects
of excessive moisture by turning yellow. Glover
and grass in all parts Of the state are growing
very rapid.

along institutional lines and with this in
mind a special fund, started some years
ago, has steadily been added to until the
financial resources and the opportunity
have now matured together.

much needed rooms will be thus secured:
a basement for the gymnastic and in

add 10 feet more to the width. Other
changes will also be made which will bet
ter adapt the building to the work of a
