summer resort and one that we
would enjoy frequenting often Once

the island was lost to view. The

OF fleecy clouds such as we had of

The board of aldermen last night

BOARD TURNS DOWN
AID. BRENNAN'S MOTION
Refuses to Order Extension of Mount
Airy Street Sewer


Aid. Brennan, of the Ninth ward,
made an unsuccessful attempt last
night to have the Mount Airy street
sewer ordered built on through to
Warren street, but Edward Murphy. of
the board of public works, opposed the
plan, and the board Of aldermen voted
with Mr.. Murphy, Mr. Brennan's vote
being the only one for the extension
Under the present plans the sewer
stops in the middle of the block just
before reaching Warren street, and
Aid. Brennan charged the board of
public works with stopping it there
with view of favoring certain citi-
Zens who did not want it extended to
Warren street. Some of Mr.. Brennanss
constituents, who will get no benefit
from the sewer if not run on through
to Warren street, were present and
asked for the extension. Mr.. Murphy
explained that there was opposition to
extending it to Warren street.
Aid. Brennan, after the meeting,
charged his defeat to Mr.. Murphy He
said Mr. Murphy was opposed to any
measure he might introduce because
he had opposed him in the recent pri-
marieS.

TITLE NOW IN STATE
Secures Deeds to Site of Sana.
torium for Consumptives

Deeds for the site of the proposed
state sanatorium for consumptives in
Northern Minnesota were finally Sc
cured yesterday by the state board of
health. and members of the board ex,
pect shortly to make a trip to Walker
for the purpose of designating a site
for the institution.
The state has acquired a tract of
somewhat more than 600 acres in area
located on the banks of Leech lake,
and on some sheltered portion of the
big reserve simple house will be
built at first for the victims of tuber-
culosis who desire treatment. Some of
the land cost the state as high as SIS
per acre, but the average price is said
to have been about $40, and it was
purchased in comparatively small
tracts from its owners,
There has been considerable delay
because. of the existence of mineral
and pine reservations in deeds which
had passed years ago, but releases of
these claims were obtained after much
correspondence and the state now has
absolute title to the tract to be utilized
as a home for consumptives.
1t is expected to erect only tenn
porary buildings this season. The ap-
preparation for the buildings and site
is $4,000, and as only about $4,000 has
been expended in the site, some $4,000
is available for the buildings and inn
provementa of the grounds.

of Foresters, the supreme court Of
which is now in biennial session in ST.
Louis. The position has been held for
two years past by S. C. Olmstead.
The election of Mr.. Schoonmaker as
successor to Mr.. Olmstead is claimed
by the formers friends to be a decided
victory for the Shoemaker faction in
the Minnesota branch of the United
Order of Foresters, which has become
involved in much litigation with the
Olmstead faction during the past two
years. A number of unsettled suits.
some brought for the purpose of GUST
ing Mr.. OlmStead from the position of
supreme counsel, are now pending in
the state courts.
1t was. stated last night that the Sc
lection of Mr.. Schoonmaker would re-
suit in restoring harmony in Court Min
nesota once more and that it would do
away with all suits now pending in
the courts. These suits, brought by
the Foresters opposed to Mr.. Olmstead,
it is stated, will be dismissed.
The trouble, which has resulted in
dividing the Minnesota Foresters into
two factions, is said to have had it's

OBJECT TO GRANTING
OF SALOON LICENSE
Dayton's Bluff Residents Protest Be-
fore Aldermanic Committee

"A committee of Dayton's bluff resi-
dents protested yesterday afternoon at
meeting of the aldermanic commit
tee on licenses against the granting of
a saloon license to brewing company
for saloon that might be opened by
William Bosche at Third and Maple
streets.
Verbal protests We're made by Rev.
c. H. Shut, rector of st. Peters Epis-
copal church; Rev.SA L. Koeneke, pas
tor of the Dayton's Bluff German M.
E. church; w. A. Miller cashier of
the First National bank, and others. A
written objection was filed, which was
signed by more than, forty residents,
said to represent a district extending
three or four blocks on all sides of the
proposed saloon
The grounds of the protest were that
the saloon would be, in a residence
neighborhood, and too near schools and
churches.
The agent for the brewing company
asked that consideration of the matter
might be delayed so that an officer of
the company might make an investiga-
ton during his intended visit to ST.
Paul.
The request was granted. The pro-
testers were notified that they would
be informed before the committee took
final action.

SadIer and Anderson returned to the

swim about for some time. until. thew

Johnson failed to appear they looked
HIS clothes remained where he had left
them, and he could not be found after
a careful search.

many eddies which render swimming
dangerous in the river near the un-
finished dam. The search for Johnson
was continued late last night, but the
body was not found

SAL YATION ARMY
GIVES FREE PICNIC.
Thirteen Hundred Children
Have a Jolly DAY Out" at
Como Park

The comforting religion of the SAL
walton army filled Como park yesterday
with the biggest slice of genuine joy
that will chase about the picnic
grounds in many year. No less than
3 l,S0O boys and girls accepted the army's
invitation to a free picnic. The 1900
varied from picnickers that could walk
alone. although slowly, in search of
adjacent cake, to giants of fifteen and
sixteen, who will never again feel big
ger than they did yesterday.
Every boy and girl had two street
car rides, one lunch and one glass of
lemonade. Some of the boys-not the
girls-ate three lunches after trading
numbers with other and less receptive
boys
And if I was to tell you how much
lemonade some of the dear little fell
lows have swallowed-we1l," declared
dainty maid in the blue poke bon
net, well, you'd say that I ought to be
more careful in my language
The children started from the SAL
walton army barracks, Seventh and
zRosabel streets, at 10 o'clock yester-
day morning. They occupied eight spe-
cial electric cars, not to speak of other
cars that came, with other boys and
girls, from Arlington Hills.
Fifty Companies Strong
There were fifty companies of twenty
members each, the captains being
men and women of the Twin City Sal
walton army and a few civilian recruits.
Every child wore a silk. ribbon inscrib-
ed with the number of his company
and the words, "0ur Day Out"
AT O'Clock, on the picnic grounds
near the lake, the companies were mar
sha1ed. Every child in the long single
hle was then supplied with a fine
luncheon in a box. The companies APP
preached in numerical order, but it
was found impossible to prevent GER
tain amount of mischievous repeat
ing. Lemonade, however,, was Iadled
out without restriction.
The management of the picnic was
controlled by Ensign A. P. Storey,
King of the Kids, . that is, superintend-
ent of the children's work under Saliva
ton army auspices. He was also known
yesterday as "The Man in the Red
Suit
Other officers of the army in attend
ance were Brig. F. w. Jenkins, Capt.
g. Jenkins, Capt. Miller and Adjt.
Sprague. The two last named officers
superintended series of games, the
winners of which received. attractive
prizes.
1t was after 5 o'clock when the last
child left the park.
