Forty Acres Added to States Plant In
ST. Paul
Forty acres of land to the east of the
st. Paul fish hatchery have been acquired
by the state game and fish commission,
after negotiations lasting over several
years. An appropriation of $4,000 was
made ava liable when the first effort was
made to get the land, and it will be ex-
pended for the purpose. Several springs
are found on the tract, which will furnish
a. permanent water supply for the hatch
cry.
Edward Radcliff Of Duluth was enga ged
by the commission yesterday to prepare
plans and specifications for the buildings
at the Glenwood hatchery. which will In
clude a. superintendent's cottage. a barn

LIGHTNING GERM KILLER


1t VIII Cost $1,000 to Install One
Here.
1t will cost about 81, 5000 to equip the
Minneapolis Water'works system with Jo-
seph Johnson's electric sterllizer for kill
ing germ life in the city water. It seems
to be conceded that Johnson's invention IS
very successful on a. small scale, but even
the inventor does not know how it will act
when attached to a big system. Professor
George Shepardson Of the state university
and DR.. J. Frank Corbett Of the health de-
partment have seen the device work OH a
flve-inch stream with the result that 80
per cent of the germ life was destroyed,
but they cannot be certain that it will
operate as we'll on a, flfty-inch stream at
the reservoir.
johnson will give the city the right to
use his patent and would install the sys-
tenn at his own expense and take his
chances but he has not the money. The
members of the waterworks committee are
favorably impressed with the device, but
are little chary about spending $1,000 on
what may prove failure. ~,

GALLAGHER DIES

He Was Found Unconscious on the Street
Sunday.
Martin Gallagher, who was found I'M
conscious on the street near NicOllet ave-
nue. and Second. street Sunday night, died
at the city hospital early this morning.
When Gallagher was first taken to the
hospital he was refused admission, as it
was thought that he was dead drunk, but
when he did not regain consciousness at
the central station he was again taken to
the hospital. He died without regaining
consciousness. Gallagher had a, cash on
the forehead, but whether this resulted
from blow or a fall is not known.
Gallagher was a. laborer and formerly
resided at 314 Twelfth street S. He was
accustomed to drink and the coroner is in
clined to believe that while intoxicated he
fell and received the injuries which proved
fatal. An autopsy will be held.

THE MAN WHO WENT.
That Could Not De Toll
Grated.

I'VE had a new business man strike
our place year ago." said a resident
of interior Michigan who was in De-
troit the other day, relates the Free
Press, land his finish, which came last
week, was predicted from the start.
He bought out a grocery store in
which about a dozen of us old resi-
dents used to gather six evenings a
week to gossip, and his first move was
to drive us out. There was no more
storytelling more checkers-no
more good fellowship. 1t was the
breaking up of an institution founded
a dozen years before. We might have
hired the cooper shop for cur nightly
meetings. and cobber threw out
strong hints that we would be well
come. but men can't make such sud-
den changes. Some of us had to stay
home o nights. to the great wonder
ment of our families, and some had to
sneak into butcher shops and shoe
stores and be looked upon as intrud-
erS.
very naturally our feelings were
hurt. and revenge was the only thing
thought of. We gave out that the
new man was stingy and mean; we
inyeighed against his improvements
and his prices; we found fault with
him generally and personally and the
man who bought pound of butter of
him was marked down as bold-faced
enemy of American liberty.
The new man had spare capital and
lots of grit, and he fought back and
refused to be downed. We had the
advantage. however. He put his heel
on one of the customs of a small town,
and had hit 200 men in hitting a dozen.
He held out few weeks over a year,
but the crash was inevitable. The
sheriff at last took possession and sold
him out, and no one heaVed a sigh
when he folded his tent and stole 81
lently away. He would have made a
success in a large city, but he did not
understand human nature as it may be
read in every small town. He was
good in his way, but ii was the wrong
way. 1t would have been the same
had he bought out the butcher, the
druggist or the hotel man and
abolished their gangs.
"Cities lose their traditions in the
lapse of time, but a small town clings
the closer to them as time goes on,
and the checker-board at the corner
grocer descends from father to son
with Legitimacy that no one must
dispute"

Those Maine Hunt SIM en-.

The making of regulations as hunts
men for those who visit the Maine
woods has become an industry, it is
said. a couple of young men near
Greenville, in that state, have built
camp supplied with three different
entrances and an assortment of camp
made signs for backgrounds, and
equipped in every way to make
hunting scenes at short notice. Gus
TONERS are dressed in worn hunting
clothes. surrounded with such loung-
ers as are at hand, dressed as guides,
and photographed as seated amid the
slaughter they have wrought. Game
of all kinds, either embalmed or
stuffed with hay, is kept ready; or, if
preferred, strings of wooden fish are
brought out to furnish pictured proof
of skill. This method of attaining
fame as a nimrod is safe. and, perhaps
as good as the method which kills the
wild peoples of the forest. Hunting
with the camera has been a success,
and camera as substitute for hunt
ing is likely to become popular.-Bos-

This was too much for my gravity,

he got off free. The lesson was not

nights afterward, a very stormy one,

order being complied with, the senti-

of this exercise, however, and offered
to give the proper cOuntersign, but it
was of no use; every time the lieuten-
ant relaxed his eXertion,, down would
come the bayonet, and with it the re-
ply, in tones not to be misunderstood:
mark time, dar, l tell yer! Mark
time, darl No such man as you got de

This was kept up for fully half an
hour, and the relief was never more
heartily welcomed by weary sentinel
than it was that night by Lieut.. L.

During the organization of colored
troops in Kentucky considerable trou-
BILE was taken to perfect their knowl
edge of their duties as sentinels, and
to this end many expedients were re-
sorted to, says a writer in the Amer
Ean Tribune. Approaching one of the
dusky warriors, on camp guard, one
bright moonlight night, L was chal-
lenged and responded in due form, but
a few moments after, expressing de-
sire to see if his musket was a confed-
crate one, it was unhesitatingly hand

AN UNSOLVED MYSTERY.
Disappearance of Soldier af the
Second Battle of Manassas Never
Accounted For.

II have just returned from a visit to
the battlefields of Cedar mountain and
the second Manassas after an absence
of 40 years." said Daniel L. Reynolds,
of Canandaigua, n. V, recently, ac-
cording to the Washington Star.
ut was while the last-named bat
tie was in progress that something
happened to a member of my com
pany, and with whom | had been
raised, that has always been to me an
unsolved mystery. His name was Will
liam Brown and his age at the date |
speak of was "a years. He had always
pinned for life of adventure, and
when Pope called for volunteer scouts
he offered his services and was ac-
cepted. This was just prior to the
Cedar mountain affair. Prior to the
second Manassas Brown had frequent
ly disappeared for several days, but
in due time returned all right, and at
nighttime about the camp fire would
fire our imaginations and excite our
envy over his marvellous hairbreadth
escapes from capture and death. He
was missing for good after the sec
ond days fight at Bull Run, and the
rest has always been conjecture as to
his fate. The story told by captured
confederate soldier is that he was
caught red-handed and was hanged as
a spy.
1T appears, according to the mar
ratiye related by the soldier mem
toned, that during the battle of the
first day man, resembling Brown,
dressed in confederate gray, rode up
to the commander of division with
written orders from Jackson to move
his troops to certain portion of the
field where they could not possibly be
of use and suddenly disappeared. The
next forenoon Longstreet appeared
on the scene, and the same young man
in gray again rode up to a division
commander and attempted to dupli-
cate the trick, when he was recog-
nized by an officer present, handed
over to drumhead court martial and
hanged on the spot. The most dis
quoting thing about the whole mat
ter is that rumors have reached our
post from time to time that Brown
was not the martyr we Nctured him,
but deserter to the enemy. | am
going to call on Longstreet tomorrow
and ask him if he can solve the mys-
FERROUS disappearance of William
Brown"

The prisoners were brought down to
the pontoon bridge, across the Appo-
mattoX river, to be put on board tho
steamer, and a detail of marines
from one of the gunboats was sent
on shore to receive the prisoners
from the colored guard. Among the
marines was man named Ed Coyle,
who had shipped from somewhere on
the coast of Massachusetts.
when the roll of prisoners was
being called he was startled to hear
among the names that of Frank
Coyle. H@ waited to see who would
answer to that name, and in the ma n
who responded he found his own
brother. The brother had not been
heard from for several years. He had
gone south and had been counted as
dead by his family. The marine
who was to act as guard made him
self known, but he was able to do
very little for his rebel brother. The
latter went forward to prison, and
did not see his Massachusetts re-
lative again until after the close of
the war.
