LIKE BAD DREAM
THAT CAME TRUE.
A SWIMMER MAROONED MILES
FROM HOME IN BATHING SUIT.
Boy Who Was to Meet Him with
Clothes Missed Connections and
Immediately Started the Report
that There Had Been Tragedy
A Hot Weather Comedy.

It's pleasant little stunt on
hot day to roll into the Mississippi
below the Washington avenue bridge
with bathing suit on and let the
cool, swift current carry your erst-
while perspiring body a mile or so
down stream.
Peter Berkhoffer Of Harvard place
day seemed a particularly opportune
time. But the boy who was to carry
the swimmers clothes along shore
and rehabilitate him as he emerged
from the drink missed connections,
and hence came reports of a nysteri-
Gus tragedy.
Berkhoffer is a lover of athletics
boy regularly employed as a clothes
carrier for his swimming trips, but
Saturday the regular carrier was off
ana a substitute was employed. He
mixed to the Franklin avenue bridge,
taking his time and forgetting that
he was to pick up the swimmer there
and follow along the bank.
Meantime Berkhoffer had passed
the bridge and was we'll on his way
to the government dam. Arrived
there, he craWled out Of the water
and chatted with the gray-bearded
Watchman. No boy appeared. An
hour or more passed and Berkhoffer
began TO realize that he was not in
costume to venture home. He had
just negotiated the loan of an old pair
OF overalls from the Waterman when
Captain and Mrs. Powell drove up.
The scantily clad athlete hastily took
to the business and slapped mos
qultoes Viciously for another hour,
while the captain, as member of the
engineering staff, inspected the work
and explained the details to his Wife
When they drove away, Berkhoffer
succeeded in reaching his home by
telephone and a rescue party at once
set out in a buggy bearing clothes
and comfort to the unfortunate. The
relief expedition reached the dam in
the early dusk and Berkhoffer was
soon attired and en- route home.
On the way the buggy passed the
Franklin avenue bridge. A wide-eyed
boy holding a tumble of clothes was
telling the gathering crowd about the
man who had undoubtedly been
drowned. People were Fastening to
the spot from all directions and there
were already about $50 in the assem-
blage, all anxious to learn the horrible
details.
Berkhoffer's driver offered to stop
and claim the clothing.

phatically.

TICKER WAS MISSING
Story of an Auto Rescue Told on Tom
Wallace.

''Modesty, wherefore art thou modesty,
or the mystery of the lost ticker,'' is the
title Of comedy which will not be writ
ten by Don Quixote Wallace, alias Tom"
1t Is related that the other evening
when Tom was returning to Minneapolis
from Lake Mnnetonka in an automobile
with some friends they came across an
other bubble in distress. The gallant Tom
saw that lady was in the party and
he stopped and offered his assistance. But
there was nothing doing in the repair
Ing line, and Tom gracefully asked If
they could not give the lady u lift in his
machine. She strongly dernurred. Tom
pulling out his card, placed his hand
above his heart and bowed.
II am barrister in the city and a
member Of the Minneapolis club. My
name Is Thomas Wallace
Who could withstand such an appeal?
The young lady acquiesced and took a
seat When the party reached the out
skirts of the city the lady insisted upon
taking a car. Finding that she was i'm
movable In her opinion they placed her
safely OIL a Hennepin avenue car.
A few minutes later some one asked
Tom the time of night. He made an in
voluntary motion toward his fob
my watch is gone!" he exclaimed ooh
I remember, I dropped it in the lake yes

NO FIRE, NO PANIC
A Few Sparks Responsible for "scare
Story

Two or three sparks flew from the
chimney Of the Powers Mercantile COM
pany Saturday evening and some alarm
list on the street Immediately summoned
the fire department. When the fire fight
ing apparatus arrived there was nothing
doing and clerks and customers in the
store did not even know Of the incident
till long after. There was no panic ND
no excitement Of any, kind
A morning paper picked UP the incident
and gave an exaggerated account, much
at variance with the facts. So trivial was
the whole affair that Superintendent A.
N La Croix, who makes a thoro inspec-
ton Of the building, knew nothing of It
till the fremcn had returned to their
stations.

DEATH FROM SKY
COMES TO DRIVER.
CHARLES NoRDQUIsT INSTANTLY

A. III. johnson Fuel Yard on the
North ,side-Other Damage by
Lightning.

h 4
Charles Nordquist, employed by the
a. a. johnson Fuel company, Wash
ington and Thirty-fifth avenues N, was
instantly killed by lightning in the
yards this morning. He was driving
out of the yards with load of wood,
and his team was killed by the same
bolt that took his life. His 14-year-
old son was helping him in the yards
at the time, but was only slightly
shocked by the bolt.
Deputy Coroner Irvine, who was
called to the scene, says that the acct
dent was peculiar one. Altho the man
was instantly killed, there was not a
sidered remarkable that such a heavy
bolt should leave no evidence of it's
work.
Nordquist lived with his family at
ola Chandler street.
A House Struck.
Lightning struck a dwelling at 2214
Second street N during the storm this
forenoon, setting fire to the roof and
furnishings of the second floor. The
fire department was called out and
the flames were extinguished with
little loss. No one was injured.
Several of the fire and police alarm
boxes were burned out in various
parts of the city, but no delay in the
work resulted.
At BIG Fourteenth avenue N, light
ming struck a big cottonwood tree, and
the shock shattered nearly all the win
doWs in the house.

he Platform.

Fifty years ago the republican party
came into existence and was dedicated
among other purposes to the great task
of arresting the extension of human
slavery. In 1860 it elected its first
president. During "a of the A years
which have elapsed since the election
OF Lincoln. the republican party has
held complete control of the govern

due to chance. 1t is a demonstration
that the republican party has COM

The republican party entered upon it's
