yived BY wife and two daughters.

On the banks Of the stream all

The train was going at a great
speed west bound. When it drew on
the bridge suddenly the bridge gave
way. Three cars dashed down into
the river. Two cars stopped mira
closly on the brink.
When the cars crashed down the
flying tinbers tore down the tele-
graph wires, and all communication
was cut off for some time.
The accident was caused by heavy

days. The downpour had swollen
the stream into an enormous volume
of water, and the timbers of the
bridge were undermined. It is known
that Conductor Smith and Brakeman
Turner are among the dead.

ALTON BROOKS PARKER.
Democratic Nominee Gives Up Posi-
ton of Chief Justice in
New York.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 8.-Alton B.
Parker ceased to be chief justice Of
the court of appeals of this state on
Friday afternoon and became the un-
trammeled candidate of the demo-
cratic party for the presidency of the
United States, lacking only the for
NAL notification of his nomination
which will take place at Rosemount
next Wednesday afternoon.
Without any advance announce
ment or intimation OF his purpose, he
came to Albany, took part with five
of the other judges in clearing up
prctically all Of the cases which had
been argued before the court and
then sent messenger to file his for
NAL resignation in the Office of the
secretary of state, as the constitution
and public officers law required.
He left Esopus at 1926 a. m, ac-
companied by the newspaper men
who have been on duty at Rosemount
ever since his nomination. Until af
ter the train had left Kingston he
would not divulge his destination.
Few Of the people in the day coach
in which he rode appeared to recog-
nize him, though there were one or
two Ulster county acquaintances with
whom he chatted urtil the train
reached Kingston. He arrived in Al
bany just after I o'clock and after
luncheon went to the capitol and at
once Joined in consultation with his
colleagues over the cases pending be-
fore the court.
His business as chief judge being
thus completed, Judge Parker then
took up the matter upon which he had
come to Albany, the filing of his res
ignation. He called in all the news
paper men, took them through the
court chambers, private Offices and
consultation rooms, and introduced
each one to his associate judges. In
his own room, which he has occu-
pied so long. he stopped and looked
out Of the window to the distant hills
across the Hudson. His voice trem-
bled perceptibly as he said: This
room. boys. was mine.
The very slight emphasis upon the
word was" was the first indication
l1a had given of his intention to re-
sign.

~... .-, Ground.

The old story of a. bull in a china
shop was given q new version Satur-
day night when a "bull' in a black
smith shop considerably disturbed the
even ways Of the community of Rich
field. l
For several weeks complaints have
been coming into police headquarters
Of a blacksmith shop run by one
Peterson on the Richtield road near
Minnetonka boulevard and Saturday
night a telephone message to Captain
Henry L. Getchell Of the fifth precinct
station informed him that the shop
was filled with boys and young men
intent on a horse lottery and five kegs
Of beer.
Since the blacksmith shop is on park
property where liquor is forbidden,
and since a lottery is not exactly legal
and it is against the law to sell or give
liquor to minors Captain Getchell sent
Officers Bean and Salmon to stop the
proceedings.
Their appearance caused a stampede,
the beer was emptied onto the ground,
the proprietor secured and warned,
and the incident closed with the un-
derstanding that there would be no
more beer parties in the blacksmith
shop. '>vrr

In view Of the fact that last year was
the worst in seven years, it Is interesting
to note that it witnessed the attainment
of the high-wa mark Of 100000, 600 as
sets in the insurance world, this sum hav-
ing been reached by the Mutual Life lnsur-
ance company Of New York 8, sum, by
the way, more than sufficient to pay twice
over the total liabilities of all the 1909
failing companies). Since 1875, the first
year shown on the above table, the Mutual
Jifes assets have increased from ST.
446,970, to their present size, gain, thru
much financial stress and many difficult
ties, of over 1897, 1854 900. The Mutual Life
is not only the Oldest American life insur-
ance company, but also the strongest in
the world, and stands for all that is safest
most conservative and most reliable in the
financial world. It is as nearly infalltble
as any human institution can possibly be,
and in safeguarding in every way it's own
interests, it also protects those of its hum
dreds Of thousands of policy holders
throughout the world.

HATREDOF HANNAH
IS REAL IC THEM
ANNUALLY DEMONSTRATED BY
ORTHODOX JEWS AT PURIM.
Feast Is in Memory Of the Deliverance
Related in the Book of Esther
Masquerade Parties by Younger Set
Follow Formal Observance in Syn
agOgues.

Tonight the orthodox Jews will be-
gin celebrating one Of the most i'm
portant holidays in their. ca1ander- The
holiday is called Purin, in memory of
the day when Queen Esther COM
manded the Jews to fast and pray
that they might not all be slain by the
misled monarch of the Modes and
Persians.
The ceremonies and customs OBJ
served on this day are the most pecu-
liar Of the Jewish faith. The congre-
cations meet in the synagogues where
the rabbis read the Book of Esther.
Whenever the name of Hannah, the
man who had persuaded King Ahasue-
nus to prescribe the Jews, is mentioned
in thes criptures, the indignation of
the Hebrew race toward him is mani
tested by low, angry murnurs and a
scuffling of feet. The ancient custom
of having masquerade parties in the
homes after the formal ceremonies is
still observed by the younger set.
The fasting will begin at shutdown
tonight. and last until the same time
tomorrow evening, after which the
feast of the Purim will be held.

BRAINERD HAS
THE BEST OF IT.
BANKER CAN LAUGH
AT BANKRUPTCY OFFICERS.
He Has Filed No Schedule of Assets
and in Case He Doesn't Wish to
Do So the Information Will Be
Hard to Get.

0. G. Merriman, referee in bank
ruptcy, is face to face with a perplex-
ing situation in the case Of George
is. Brainerd, the LIE Sueur banker,
who has recently been sentenced to
prison for five years for receiving
deposits for his bank after he was
aware that he was insolvent.
Several weeks ago Brainerd was
brought from Jail to Minneapolis to
testify in the bankruptcy proceed
ings. His attorney objected to the
tinancier answering leading ques-
tions" on the ground that it might
have bad effect in the criminal
action which was then pending
against him at LIE Sueur. Brainerd
has never filed schedule of his as
PEELED to find Brainerd's belongings
as best he could.
Brainerd was already in Jail, so
Referee Merriman could not force
him to answer questions. The hear
Ing was continued until after the
close of the criminal action. Brain
years and can laugh at the court
when asked questions, as an impris-
onment for contempt would matter
little to him. If he comes to Mime
apolis at the date set for the continu-
alton Of the hearing it will be neces-
sary to bring him by means Of a writ
of habeas corpus, and this may not
suit the dignity Of the retired banker.
Should he grow ugly and refuse to
answer questions, the receiver ap-
pointed by Referee Merriman will
probably have a hard time in
strengthening out some Of the hnan-
cial moves of the bankrupt.
1t is possible that Brainerd will
take an appeal from his conviction
and be. released on bail if the appeal
is granted. He might then be per-
suaded to come to Minneapolis and
give information about his property
and transactions.

yesterday afternoon at the Y. M. G. A. was
in point Of attendance the best ever held
in the Y. M. c. A. auditorium. Every

very effective, altho lacking in the tricks
of sentiment by which evangelists fire.
quently seek to sway their audiences.
1.-THE Stuff That Men Are Made Or was
the subject. Mr. Stuart's particular hobby
is good. strong men. The apparent results
of the meeting were over q hundred, who
expressed an interest in the Christian life.
Edward Mckenzie. the Tennessee singer,
sang and the Sheibley orchestra played.
So successful was the meeting that a

subject will be 1.-THE Stump Puller.'

NEW STORE SHIFTS STOCKS
An Important Change Which Makes

A change in the location Of certain
stocks Of goods, which will be fully
appreciated by it's many friends and
patrons, has just been made by The
New Store. The place formerly occu-
pied by the sentlernen's furnishing
linens, domestics and white goods, and
the latter stocks have been transferred
to the room held by the former. The
change is beneficial to both depart
ments inasmuch as it places the white
goods lines an aisle nearer the silks
and dress goods counters (the stores
center). and directly across from the
laces and veilings section, as well as
giving needed additional room for the
stock. The mems furnishings depart

PRISON SHOE CONTRACT
r. n. Bronson Of Saltwater Gets It-Prlce.
Are Advanced,

Are Advanced.
The state board of control has closed a
contract for the prison labor in the shoe
plant at Saltwater, which will mean the
employment Of fewer men and higher
prices than ever before The contractor
is Roscoe H Bronson of saltwater. He
will pay upon the piece plan, but guaran-
tees the state GO cents day for each man
employed. The number of men to be en-
ployed is limited to 225. The contract will
run ten years, from Sept. 80. The pres
ent contract with Jordan Bros, expires at
that time. Under it the state receives
about 81 cents a day, and about $50 men
are employed on the work.
Labor and manufacturing interests
made hard fight at the last session Of
the legislature to do away with prison
shoe making. but they were unsuccessful.
The board Of control is increasing the
work on the Irvine plant, and looking for
other diversified employment, but has
found nothing that will bring the financial
returns to the state that come from the
shoe mandatory. Bids were advertised
for, but Mr.. Bronson was the only one to
put in a bid. That was not satisfactory,
and the board later made the private con
tract with him. at a. higher price than he
named in the bid. :"
