common article that it excites no
special comment, except from the
visitor who does not know the al
most tropical productiveness of the
section, or if he has heard, has re-
fused to believe until his eye has
beheld what really grows in this
favored section, but we Thoroughly
realize that no harm can come from
a repetition of the good things we
have here, hence the mention.
The children had their moneys
worth at the school building last
Saturday afternoon, and while the
affair was not the financial success
it night have been, about $50 Mex.
was realized. 1t was we'll worth
the admission price to watch the
enjoyment of the children during
the afternoon. The ladies of the
Civic League and others interested
have 1abored industriously and are
still doing so, to obtain park for
the city, ard their efforts only meet
with very small encouragement
from the majority of our citizens.
A park where the people may con-
gregate for an hour or two in the
afternoon, would serve to make
many otherwise long days seem
shorter, and the outlay, should
every one do his part, would be a
very little, and in fact no sacrifice,
to anyone.
Col. L. Lott, president of the
St. l., B. & NJ. came i'll yesterday
from a stay of several weeks at Ha-
vana, in Hidalgo county. He re.
ports the river at Hidalgo higher
than it had been before known,
and says the water coming out of
the river divided, one portion 60
ing out over the low country and
the other down the Arroyo Color
ado, either of the two carrying
more water than was going down
the Rio Grande. Col. Lott says
the entire valley was submerged,
and that the site of Fordyce, the
present terminus of the Hidalgo
branch, has been moved to the foot
Of the hills, it being on higher
ground, and thus putting the town
site on the hills, out of the reach
of high water. In order to make
this change, about two miles OF
track was taken up. Col. Lott says
the damage done was much lighter
than was anticipated before the
water went down, and with moth
ing to hinder. thePhranch will be
completed in about one week more.
He will be in the city a couple of
days and will then go back to EIa-
vana. Col. Lott came III over the ".
& NJ. and says the river was rising
at Hidalgo when he left there.
Col. Lott says the recent overflow
of The Rio Grande has been a good
object lesson in the way Of irriga-
ton, indicating that vast acres OF
land can be irrigated from the riv-
er, at a small outlay as compared
to what other sections have to CON
tend with in the matter of putting
water over the land.

FLICKERTAIL STATE
SLATEMAKERS BUSY
Significant Gathering of North
Dakota Republicans Is Noted
at Merchants Hotel.

suspiciousIy large number of lead
ing North Dakota Republican politi-
clans at the Merchants hotel yesterday
caused comment in political circles,
and there were many guesses ventured
as to the significance of the gather
ing.
E. Y. Sarles, who is admittedly
candidate for the nomination for gov
ernor, was among the number and
there were at least count a dozen SEN
ators and representatives from widely
scattered points in the FlickertaiI
state.
A well posted man in the party adj
mitted that the gathering was not
wholly by accident but said that fully
one-half the number who were regis
tered at the hotel from North Dakota
just happened in, and their coming
had nothing to do with the politics Of
their state.
It appears to be pretty we'll adj
mitted, however, that Gov. Frank
White, who has held the office for two
terms, is as good as out of the run
ming for a third term, and the contest
for the nomination lies between Sarles
and Ed Porter, the present secretary
Each candidate had personal friends
In the gathering at the Merchants yes
terday who were not ready to admit
that the other fellow had everything
tied hard and fast, and it is possible
that the gubernatOrial contest will not
be considered very seriously until
some time after the delegate conven--
ton is held at Fargo Nav IS.
Only scattering counties have as yet
held their conventions, and these are
so few in number and are so widely
scattered about the state, that the re-
suits cannot be considered as indica-
tive of anything certain in the final re-
suit
The prospects are quite bright for
North Dakota sending its two United
States senators to the Chicago ma
ttonal convention, as has been the Gus
tom in Minnesota for some years.
Among the other prominent men
from North Dakota who, either by de-
sign or accident, were in St. Paul yes
terday were: Col. w. H. Robinson,
Mayville; N. F. Boucher, Bismarck;
Ed Patterson, Bismarck; NJ. H. Jewell,
Bismarck; 0. G. Sarles, Hillsboro; j.
D. Carroll New Rockford; j. ".
Roach. Minot, and at least half doz-
en- others.

MRS. F. A. HORN DIES
SUDDENLY AT HER HOME
Widow of n. j. Horn, Pioneer Of St.
Paul, Expires Without Warning.

Mrs. Fannie A. Horn, widow of H. j.
Horn, a pioneer of st. Paul, and mother
of Henry J. Horn, general manager of
the Northern Pacific, and A. E. Horn,
on attorney of St. Paul, died suddenly
yesterday afternoon at / o'clock, at her
residence, 301 Dayton avenue.
Mrs. Horn, who was sixty mine years
old, had been in good health, and her
death yesterday was entirely uneXpect-
ed. She fell unconscious as she was
passing across room and died before
a phyician could arrive. Mrs. William
l.. Banning, Miss May Banning and
Miss Mabel Horn were with Mrs. Horn
when she died
Mrs. Horn came to st. Paul with her
husband from Philadelphia forty years
ago, and resided in this city ever since.
She survived her husband two years.
She was born in Remington, Del, and
spent her early life in Philadelphia.
Besides her two sons. Mrs. Horn is sur
vived by three daughters, Mrs. John
w. Adams Mrs. M. w. Seymour and
Miss Mabel Horn, all of st. Paul. The
funeral arrangements had not been
completed last night.

NEED WARM WINDS
TO INSURE CROPS
Seeding In Red River Valley
Greatly Delayed by Back
ward Spring.

The first crop report of the North
ern Pacific for 1904, which Will be Is
sued April %, will show that unless
weather conditions improve materially
within the next week the wheat crop
of the Red River valley will be serious
~ damaged. if not ruined, at some
places. Minnesota and North Dakota
have not been so far behind in seeding
for many years as they are this spring,
and discouraging reports are being re-
ceived from all points
There has been no seeding in the
Red River valley, and none in North
Dakota. Only a few points on the
main line of the Northern Pacific and
on the Fergus Falls division report
that seeding has been commenced.
Heavy snow storms are responsible
for the setback in the Red River val
ley" said John. 0. DalZell division
freight agent of the Northern Pacific,
having charge of main and branch
lines in Minnesota and North Dakota.
The ground in that fertile region has
been covered with thick layer of
snow and ice which has prevented the
farmers from starting their seeding.
Wheat should be in by this time, but
from reports it appears that nothing
can be done until warmer weather ar
rives. The Red river valley needs
warm winds to dry the soil, and that
will be the only salvation of the crops
The wheat must be in by May 10 at
the latest
Seeding will be started on high
ground along the main line and on
the Fergus Falls branch within the
next week, but there is nothing definite
as to when the low ground may be
planted"
The Northern Pacific crop reports
will be issued weekly during the
spring, summer and fall months, and
will review the conditions at all points
along the main and branch lines of the
road

CAR BUMPS CYCLIST
Motor Cycle Rider Struck by
Saltwater Car.

A saltwater car going at high rate
of speed, on Broadway last evening at
80 o'clock, struck Frank P. Miller,
who was riding a motor cycle and car
ried him more than half a block be-
fore stopping.
The accident happened near the cor
ner of Sixth street. Miller was riding
up Broadway, on the right side of the
street, and, noticing the binding
headlight of the car, became bewilder-
ed. His machine swerved and he was
thrown upon the fender. The car was
speeding along at the rate of thirty
miles an hour, and before it could be
stopped Miller was dragged along the
street for eighty feet. The wheel was
smashed, and Miller was severely hurt.
His left leg, although no bones were
broken, was helpless, and it is feared
that it is partially paralyzed. He is
employed at the National Specially
company. The injured man was re-
moved to his rooms, 1872 West Third
street, in the police ambulance.

TO ASSIST HORSES
DR.. Curryer Oevises Curbstone
Bridge to Obviate Strain.

A "curbstone bridge" has been de-
vised for the solace of draft horses by
DR.. j. G. Curryer, of Mankato, superin-
tendent Of the live stock department at
the Minnesota state fair.
The other day DR.. Curryer saw. on
Seventh street, a fine team trying to
back coal wagon over the curbstone.
The wagon was heavily loaded; the
curb was seven inches high. The
horses backed with a will. painting and
straining, while their feet slipped on the
asphalt and the muscles of their necks
QutVered with the Wrenching Of the
collars. But despite the whip and pro-
family of their driver the animals could
not force wheel across the vertical
curb.
AS an expert judge of horses and their
physical powers, DR.. Curryer realized
the violent yet useless strain which the
willing animals were undergoing
through no fault of their own. He told
the driver that his horses were likely
to be permanently injured. The driver
replied that he couldn't turn around in
the narrow passageway and he have to
back in some way, even if he shoveled
off half his load.
While going home the doctor con-
ceived his curbstone bridge 1t is an
oblong timber construction, beveled
lengthwiSe on one side Of the upper
surface. It is six feet long. eighteen
inches wide and two inches thick along
its thicker side. Three wooden 'risers."
four inches thick, are bolted crosswise
to the under surface of the bridge.
These crosspieces will raise the top of
the bridge to the top of a six-inch curb
Where the curb has greater height, any
available piece of wood, stone or other
material may be used to elevate the
bridge an inch or two above the pave
ment. If necessary, the bridge may be
divided laterally at it's center so it may
be carried about in two sections But
ordinarily it could be handled con-
veniently without division.
DR.. Curryer says that the cost Of his
bridge, which anyone can make, would
range from 81 to 50, land more than
that" he adds, .'is taken out Of the
value Of a team every day that the
horses must back heavy loads over
curbstones without making use of
bridge.
IF the owners of city teams knew
how much suffering their horses were
compelled to endure for the want of
this cheap little contrivance," says DR..
Curryer, every driver, believe, would
soon be forced to get a bridge and
use it,

FIRST REGIMENT
WOULD GO TO FAIR
Legislature Provided for Cost
of Trip, but Resolution
Was Not Signed.

The chances of the First regiment.
M N. G., to visit the st. Louis fair at
the expense of the state now depends
upon the manner in which ATTORNEY
General DonahOwer interprets the law
bearing upon the expenditure of the
national guard funds.
The proposition was put up tn the
attorney general yesterday afternoon,
after a conference between Lieut.. Col.
Frank Corriston, of Minneapolis, rep
resenting the First regiment, and Gov.
Van SAINT. The governor favors the
plan of having the Minnesota guards
men sent to st. Louis, and members of
the First believe there is a chance for
them to make the trip.
The efforts of the First tn secure
permission and expenses to make the
trip to St. Louis, in lieu Of spending
the regulation ten days in camp at
LakeVleW, have been given somewhat
OF setback by the opposition to the
plan made by the commanding officers
of the Second and Third regiments and
the artillery, who object to the st.
Louis trip on the ground that it would
be TOO expensive. But in the face of
this opposition, which has already Gre
ated much hard feeling in the guard,
the First has not yet given IN and
should Attorney General DOnahower
decide that the guard funds can be Ie-
gally used in this manner the members
of the First will do their drilling on
the worlds fair grounds instead of at
Lakeview.
When the question of sending the
regiments to st. Louis this year was
first taken up, more than eighteen
months ago, the plan was heartily in
dorsed by the commanding officers of
all of the regiments.
Governor Didn't Sign Resolution.
The Second and Third, as we'll as the
artillery, which now opposes the plan,
were instrumental in having the last
legislature provide for the cost of such
trip for the entire guard. A resolu-
ton was passed providing for the nee
essary funds, but for some reason the
resolution was not signed by the gov
ernor, and there is now some doubt as
to the legality of the appropriation.
Recently the Second and Third regi-
mentS have decided that-the trip would
be too expensive, and the officers of
these two regiments have openly OPP
posed the plan, while the First has been
working for a chance to go. Col. Cor
riSton was in conference with the gov
ernor for some time yesterday, and
when seen by T h e Glob last night,
while unwilling to express an opinion
as to what the ruling of the attorney
general would be, said he was hopeful
that it would be favorable to the First.
1t is very probable that if the First
is permitted to go the rest of the
guard will also demand the same con-
SideratiOn, in which event the entire
guard of the state will be given free
trip to the fair some time late in Au-
gust or early in September.
When the four Minneapolis COM
panies went to the Buffalo exposition
the expense was borne by the citizens
of Minneapolis. The First regiment is
made up of st. Paul, Minneapolis, Red
Wing and Saltwater companies, all of
whom are anXiously awaiting the de-
cision of the attorney general.

OLIVER TWIST TALE.
Youth Claims Burglars Made
Him Work With Them.

Either Baird Peterson. has appropri-
ated to his own purposes. a portion of
the misadventures of Dickens youthful
hero, Oliver Twist, or he is a much
abused boy
That he was pressed against his will
into partial participation in a burglary,
arrested upon a confession of the real
criminals, and induced to plead guilty
TO an offenSe in which he had no active
part, is the plea upon which he asks
the pardon board to release him from
the st. Paul workhouse. His case will
come before the board at a special
meeting, to be held within a few DAYS.
Young Peterson, who is only nine
teen years of age, says that he came
to this city from Eagle Bend, obtained
employment, and went to board at the
Bethel hotel. He became acquainted
with some men who one night told
him of burglary plot and asked him.
to join them. He refused, but they
forced him to accompany them to a
paWnshop on East Third street where
they placed him on watch outside while
they entered the place. AS soon as
they left him he ran away, but when
they were caught by the police they
made a confession, involving him as
their accomplice, and he was arrested.
He says that on the advice of an at
torney he pleaded guilty in the hope
of getting a light sentence, but he was
dealt with as severely as the others.
Petersons petition to the pardon
board is signed by Judge Hine, before
whom he was tried, and by County
Attorney Kane, who prosecuted the
case. The petition was presented to
Gov. Van SAINT yesterday, and, as the
next regular meeting of the pardon
board will not take place until July. it
will be taken up as soon as the mem
bers of the board can get together.
