HE'S SPRY AT lO4
Robert G. Harper Receives Congrat-
ulations on Return of His Birth
day Anniversary.
Was Keen for a Walk to St. Paul.
but Changed His 49,.
Plan.

Robert G. Harper, the grand old man of
Minneapolis, is celebrating his birthday to-
day. Mr.. Harper first sow the light of day
July 13, 1899. Evidently the bad luck
superstition attaching to the number IS,
failed to work in MIR. Harpers case for
altho his birthday falls on that unlucky
date, he has weathered 1O4 years, and from
present appearances is good for Several
years to come. sH ri ..ls
George Harper son Of the old gentleman,
carried home congratulations to-day from
the scores of grain men who met Mr..
Harper senior when he visited on change
some time ago, and many wishes were
expressed that he might live for years
to come
A little excursion has been arranged for
this afternoon in honor of the birthday
Last year Mr.. Harper. accompanied by a
friend, walked over to st. Paul, and he
mas since expressed desire to go over
the same ground. This morning he arose
at 6 a. M, shaved himself and after break
fast smoked part Of mild cigar. Then he
proposed that the excursion be on foot,
as the day promised to be fine, but his
son demurred. -E
Its too much of walk for me. father. -
said Mr.. Harper junior.
"Ah, George" said the old gentleman,
you're not the boy I used to be. Why,
When l was young man between rs and
80 years Of age, I was a great pedestrian,
and would have thought nothing of rs
or 80 miles of a fine bracing day.
| The older man stood out for walk
| and the younger one for a carriage, and
as compromise it was agreed that they
| should go to Minnehaha Falls by street
car, then for a walk around the park, and
thence by carriage to Fort Smelling and
then st. Paul
Mr.. Harper's faculties are remarkable
In view of his advanced years. Aside
from very slight deafness just beginning
to be noticeable, they are not impaired
Unlike many aged persons who know lit
tie of important events, Mr.. Harper hay-
ing keen memory and being a man OF
education, follows the progress of events
political and scientific closely and dis
cusses them entertainingly.
To realize that one is talking with a
man whose life reaches back almost to
the time of George Washington, and WHIT
was sturdy lad Of II years when Ma
poleon fought the battle of Waterloo. is
almost uncanny, especially when one
hears Of incidents that happened seventy.
five years ago narrated as tho they were
| events Of but yesterday.

STATE CAPITOL.
PAYMENTS ARE HELD UP
Attorney General Will Determine
States Authority to Pay for
Glandered Horses. 49,

Payment for glandered horses and
COWS having tuberculosis killed under
state inspection will be held up for some
time till the state live stock sanitary
board is sure of the law under which it
acts. There is considerable doubt about
the Krostue law, under which the state
is to pay three-fourths Of the appraised
value Of the animals. John Day Smith,
attorney for the board, is not sure Of the
states authority to pay SIS for a CLAN
dered horse, and the board has decided to
leave the matter to the state auditor and
the attorney general
Attorney General Douglas does not be-
lieve the Krostue law was repealed by the
law creating the state live stock sanitary
board, but there is some doubt in his mind
as to the right of the state to pay more
than the actual value of an ANIMAL which
in a glandered horse would be little or
nothing. He has not been consulted as
yet for a formal opinion.

THE GREATER WABASH
George Gould Outlines Big for That
System.


Pittsburg, Pa, July 13.-George J.
Gould who, with the party of Wabash and
Missouri Pacific officials, spent the last
thirty -six hours inspecting the Wabash
extension into this city, in an interview
said:
1T is our purpose to weld the Wabash
roads into one grand system, before long,
that will reach from Ogden, Utah, and
Ell Paso, at the Mexican border on the
west, thru Kansas City, ST. Louis and
Pittsburg to Baltimore. We intend to
make the latter city our seaport on the
Atlantic. 1t is a magnificent one, but
has been neglected. We propose to de-
velop and make it a great port. We do
not intend to go to New York. There is
more eclat in a trunk line into the me-
tropolis, of course, but it is too expensive
as freight exporting terminal. Balti-
more is the best port on the Atlantic for
the exporting Of such commodities as will
make up our tonnage, coal, grain and
packing house products

hindered. He went away with all the men
he needed.

Hungarian Badly Injured While
at Work Was Crossing
A Pit.
FEET WERE SCALDED

Paul Losko, a Hungarian employed
in Ostrander's, was badly scalded
yesterday. The accident happened in
queer manner. In the yards there
is number Of small pits. There are
dryers used to dry brick and terra
Gotta before putting them in the kiln.
One of the pits is situated so that it
is necessary to go over it and two
planks are placed from one side to the
other for that purpose.
Losko had crossed over once and
upon returning the pit was enveloped
in cloud of steam and the boards
placed across it for use as a bridge,
were obscured from his view. The
man, trusting to Familiarity with the
place, started to walk, as he thought,
over. Either the boards were missing
or he missed them. He fell in and
both feet and legs were badly scalded
Prompt assistance took him out of
danger or he would have been scalded
to death in short time DR.. Fithian
was called and by his immediat te

RAIN CAUSES
MUCH DELAY.
Work at RunyOn where New
Wells are Being Driven is
Brought to StandstilI.
BIG FLOW OF WELLS.

There is plenty of water at Runyon
today. But besides the heavy rain
the wells there are doing great work.
The latest one driven is expected to
turn out to be the best one over there.
The second of the last two author
lied has been started, but the storm
has stopped work. 1t is we'll down,
however, ana as soon as the men can
start work again, it is expected to be
soon completed. This well is some
distance from the others and it is
thought may strike different stream.
The water department feels greatly
encouraged with the progress being
made and are confident the city will
soon have an excellent supply. 1t is
probable that when these wells are
completed more may vet be driven
although the work may not be started
this fall.
The last we'll to be completed is
said to be wonder. 1t was thought
that nothing could ever surpass one
of the oldest over there, which flows
many thousand gallons daily, but the
new we'll is equally as good and may
exceed the first one. 1t was thought
that perhaps after the first few days
the flow would diminish, but such is
not the case. The water gushes out
