YOUTHFUL SOLDIER
WEEDS YOUTHFUL BRIDE
Sergeant Hague, of Company E, En-
lists in New Service.

Sergeant j. K. Hague, Of Company E,
Twenty-first infantry, now stationed at
Fort Smelling, who, although only twen-
ty-three years old, won his stripes by
two years service in the Philippines,
was married yesterday morning at ST.
James church, in this city, to Miss
Jennie Eek. The bride is sixteen years
old and is the daughter Of Sergeant
John Eek, chief musician of the Thir-
teenth cavalry. Her father is at pres
ent in the Philippines with his regi-
ment, and Miss Eek has been living
with her mother at Fort Smelling, where
Sergeant Hague met her about year
ago.
AS Sergeant Eck's regiment left for
the Philippines last spring and the
chances are that it will be at least two
years before it returns home, the young
people decided to have the wedding
without waiting for him. Mrs. Eek S
consent was obtained and the cere-
mony took place yesterday, with the
brides brother, who is studying in st.
Paul, and Miss Clara Bolfvef, to make
up the wedding party. After the we'd
ding the party returned to Fort Shell
ing. The bride and groom will start to-
day for two weeks wedding tour.
Company E, Of which Hague is a
member and with which he is very
popular, presented the young couple
with a handsome set of dishes as a
wedding gift. On their return they will
live at the fort.

SUSPECTED KIDDER
Dramatist Meets With an En-.
barraSSinq Experience.

A good story is going the rounds re-
speeding Edward E. Kidder, the drama
fist, author of "Sky Farm" Peaceful
Valley" "a Poor Relation" and other
well-known plays. 1t seems that while
gathering the material for his latest
effort, Mr.. Kidder and his wife stopped
at farm house in a little village in
the Berkshire hills in Massachusetts,
thinking that his association with the
characters and people whom he was
to illustrate in his play would be Of
material benefit in perfecting the at
moSphere and naturalness of the stage
pictures.
Now 1t so happened that during his
sojourn there that the old farmer was
rendered a surprise party, at which
gathering many Of the country people
were brought together. AS is general
ly the case on such occasions, country
dances and games were INDUCED in,
until 1t came time for refreshments,
which consisted mostly of sandwiches,
pumpkin pies, mince pies, jumbles and
cider.
After the guests had partaken Of
their repast, the talk turned upon plays
and theater- going and the different
members of the circle spoke Of the
plays they had seen and liked. The
old farmer and his friends never
dreamed for a moment that the Kid
ders were in any way connected with
plays or players, and after recalling a
speech he had heard some years ago
in Nate SaIisbury's Three Of KIND"
repeated the speech in substance by
request. There was a laugh and ap-
plause, and one of the party turned to
Mrs. Kidder, asking her if she had
ever seen the play.
"Oh, yes" Mrs. Kidder answered,
my husband wrote that. play"
Those nearby looked a little queerly
at her. but nothing was said at the
moment.
Presently some one spoke of Peace
full Valley" a play in which he had
seen the late Sol Smith Russell, and
Mrs. Kidder was again asked If she
had seen the play. Again she returned
the answer that her husband was the
author. This time there was distinct
litter, and an embarrassing silence fol-
lowed. To break the awkwarness of
the situation the host proposed that
lected and a young woman went
through with it, to her own satisfac-
ton and the pleasure of the company.
Now it is a peculiar circumstance,
but nevertheless a fact that Mr.. Kid
der's mother was and is today one of
the most famous authors of Methodist
hymns this country has produced.
That's a beautiful hymn" said the
host.
ct u.s." Mr. Kidder remarked. 81
haven't heard it since L was boy. My
mother wrote it,"
A look of amazement crept over the
faces of the circle of friends who had
now become thoroughly distrustful of
the claims put forward by the Kid
ders, and one of the number solemnly
got up and taking a magnificent bound
Bible from the bookcase, handed it to
Mr.. Kidder with the following query:
Young man. did you or your moth
er or your father have anything to do
with writing this book?"
In the laugh which followed the
dramatist and his wife made their es-
cape.

Welded IN HOLY CITY.
DESERTED IN PEORIA
That's the Story Told by a Husband
in Divorce Court.

Married in the holy city of Jerusalem
Palestine, when he was but fifteen
years old. Joseph Michael, now a street
laborer in st. Paul, wants a divorce on
the grounds of desertion.
While he was but fifteen when he
was married, Michael married a girl
but one year older, and the union
proved an unpleasant one. Young
Michael came to the United States
first, promising to send for his wife,
which he did later. They first located
at Peoria, ILL.,, and in that city, ac--
cording to the husband, his. young wife
took a fancy to another young man and
would have nothing more to do with
him. He endeayored to have her leave
Peoria and come with him to ST. Paul.
but she refused, and when he came to
st. Paul she remained in Peoria, keep
ing company, he says, with the other
man.
They were married April 10. 1896.
and it was more than a year ago that
young Michael came to st. Paul, Ieay-
ing his wife behind. He now charges
her with desertion and asks for a d.
vorce on this ground. The suit was
filed in the district court yesterday by
Harry Judson, attorney for the hus-
band.

FROST is POSTPONED
Weather Bureau Revises It's
Frigid Prediction.

The frost promised by the weather
bureau for yesterday morning failed
to materialize, and no frost is now
promised until the weather conditions
change. Last night the observer at
the weather office said:
There will be no frost tonight. 1t
VIII be colder, and there will probably
be showers for Wednesday, but the
weather will not be cold enough for
frosts. Wednesday will be partly
cloudy, at least. Freezing temperature
will not come until the weather
clears"
The city has been in the gloom Of
clouded skies for five days, with
scarcely ray of sunshine, which is
something unprecedented for Septem-
Der weather here, and the state in
general has Jared no better. The bu-
reau climate and crop service bulletin
for Minnesota says:
Following the general rain of the
Ith, there were rains in some parts OF
the state every day in the week. In
the afternoon Of the 18th a general
rain set in, which continued over into
the 18th; in much of the southern third
of the state these rains were phenome-
nally heavy, as shown by the following
readings: st. Paul, $50 inches; Min
neapolis, inches; New Ulm, 4.62
inches, and Montevideo, 3.O5 inches.
There is only one instance in the thir-
ty-three years record at st. Paul
where the amount measured at that
point was exceeded in the same num-
Der Of hours. The amount Of damage
by the floods of water to rail and
country roads and grain in shock and
stack can hardly be estimated. The
low lands are full of water and many
fields are flooded so that shocks and
stacks are standing in water. In the
extreme north and at points in the
south the weather on the 9Th and 10th
was dry enough for threshing, but in
most of the state very little work in
the grain was possible. Late fax can
not be cut, and that which was cut re-
Gently Is lying on the ground very wet.
The ground is so wet that the moving
of threshing machines cannot be at
tempted for some time Some early
corn has been cut, and more is ready
as soon as the soil is dry enough for
the binders to work, but a good deal OF
late corn will be in danger Of being
frosted. The cutting of a heavy sec<
ond crop of clover is delayed. Pota-
toes continue to rot, not only before
they are dug, but afterwards Plow-
ing is being done, but many fields are
too soft to pillow.

WILL SUBMIT IT
TO VOTE OF TEACHERS
They VIII Be Allowed to Choose Time
of Meetings.

Teachers of the public schools will
be permitted to determine for them
selves by popular vote whether the
schedule of their meetings with the SUI
pervisors of special studies shall be
permitted to remain as it has been or
be changed by the adoption of the plan
now followed in Minneapolis The pro-
posed change would call the teachers
out to few meetings in the course of
the year, but would present disadvan-
tages in other ways.
The supervisors met yesterday aft
ernoon at the Office of the board, and
after discussing the question with Supt
Smith, agreed that it should be sub
mitted to a vote of the teachers. The
present schedule of meetings of grade
teachers requires that two meetings
shall be held each week in order that
each teacher shall appear before each
of the supervisors at least once in six
weeks. Each meeting takes in only a
portion of the grades, but each teacher
is required to attend meeting once in
two weeks.
By the proposed change the teachers
of Grades 1 to 4 inclusive, would meet
once in each week on some afternoon
school in those grades being dismissed
early that afternoon, and Grades 5 to
inclusive on Saturday morning.
Supt. Smith will present this cues
ton to the teachers in a circular and
request them to vote upon It.

FINES FOR BREAKING
FOOD LAW GO TO STATE
Justice of the Peace in EveIeth Mis-
interprets the Statute.

w. w. P. Mcconnell, state dairy and
food commissioner, has been deeply
perturbed in spirit for some days by
reason of a question that has been
raised as to the legality of the law of
last winter that places at the disposal
of his department all fines collected in
the state by reason OF violations of
the state dairy and food laws.
The question is raised by justice of
the peace at Eveleth, st. Louis county,
who recently collected a fine of So from
q dealer convicted of having sold jam
that was not up to legal requirements,
and who refused to remit the amount
of the fine to the state treasurer, but
sent it to the treasurer of his county
instead.
The justice in taking this action
raised the contention that the newly
amended dairy and food law, which
was approved April of this year, was
repealed by implication in the enact
ment of chapter 26S, approved ten days
later.
Chapter 263 is an act amendatory
of law that has been on the statute
books since 1866, and which, in gen
eral, provides for the disposition Of
fines collected for violations of state
laws.
Mr.. Mcconnell has submitted his
troubles to the state legal department,
but has not yet received an opinion
on the legal point involved. He has,
however, been informally advised that
the dairy and food law will hold, for
the reason that in chapter 263 there
was no repeating clause and no provis-
ion that is in conflict with the dairy
and food law, and there is no intent
apparent to make any change in the
measure

STATE BOARD RAISES
COUNTY VALUATIONS
Assessments Increased From S
to rs Per Cent Swift Coun.
ty Gets Big Tilt.

Household and office furniture oc-
cupied the attention of the state board
OF equalization yesterday afternoon
with the net result that the valuation
OF that class Of personal property as
returned by the county boards has
been increased something more than
S1,250,000 dollars
Before taking up this classification
the BOARD determined upon an increase
in general of 10 per cent from the fig
ureS OF last year, and with very little
deviation all efforts were directed to
that end. The work progressed smooth
ly and methodically, and Interruptions
were but few and differences of opinion
very rare. Contemplation of this por-
ton of the schedules showed but few
counties that would not be subject to
some increase to make their figures fit
the requirements of the board, and ac-
cordingly nearly all of them were ad-
Vanced from 5 to rs per cent as COM
parison of the figures of this year with
those of last might dictate.
st. Louis county presented a shining
exception to the general rule in an
assessed valuation of $685., 900, as COM
pared with $747, 900 for last year. The
board made reduction of per cent
in the figures as returned, and st.
Louis was the only county whose re-
turns were scaled down.
Board Tits Swift County.
Swift county was found to be at the
opposite extreme, with $4,000 for this
years assessment, as compared with
$4,000 for last year. Retributive JUS
tice was visited upon this county by
the board in the form of an increase of
rs per cent. That was the greatest in
crease ordered by the board, the next
highest being inflicted upon Morrison
county by reason of returns for this
year of $4,000, whereas the assessment
of last year was $4,000.
At the suggestion of Chairman
Sprague, in whose district the county
is located, the board promptly decid-
ed upon an increase of so per cent.
Pope and Roseau counties were both
advanced so per cent, and increases of
40, 33 1-3 and % per cent were not at
all uncommon. Following is a COM,
plete showing of the changes made
by the board, Hennepin and several
other counties not appearing, as no
change was made:

RAIN DELAYS WORK
Bridges Can't Be Completed
Within Time Limit.

The wet weather is interfering great
ly with work on three of the big
bridges now being constructed by the
city. and their completion in cons
quence will be month later than the
stipulated time.
Out on Grand avenue, where a new
steel bridge is being thrown across the
Milwaukee tracks, water has inter-
fered to the extent that work on the
piers has had to be abandoned. A big
pump is used, but it is unable to cope
with the water that flows into the ex-
cavations.
The piers of the new Arcade street
bridge are completed, but the steel work
is being delayed by the rain. The
same conditions exist on Third street
near Commercial, where an extension
is being made to the bridge at that
point.
