BIG PLAN AFOOT
FOR UPPER LAKE.
A LARGE sANATORIUM TO BE
ESTABLISHED THERE.
The Minnesota Sanitation Company
Organized to Build and Operate the
Institution on the j.. S. Kearney
Tract at Hardscrabble PointAm-
bilious Plans Have Been Formed.

Plans for the development of up
per Lake Mlnnetonka are announced
in rapid succession this summer. The
last is for the J. S. Kearney property
the peninsula which terminates in
Hardscrabble Point-lying between
the upper lake, Halsteds bay, Priest
bay and the old hermitage. At this
point is to be established a sanato-
rum which is expected in time to
rival Pennoyer, Clifton Springs Battle
Creek and Jackson resorts. The site
is ready, the situation cannot be ex-
celled and the company to develop
the plan is forming.
Resthaven-on-Minn etonka is the
name chosen and the Minnetonka
Sanitation company is. the syndicate
that has undertaken the project. The
capital will be 100000 and shares
will be distributed as widely as pos
sible. Such stock elsewhere pays
from rs to SO per cent, and no diff
Guilty in financing the plan is expected.
Stockholders will be selected from
different parts Of the country as far
south as New Orleans.
One hundred acres has been Sc
cured from j. S. Kearney thru S.
Overmire, real estate broker. Walter
L. Badger is to exploit the plan,
which provides for a modern fire

dining facilities; private fleet of
boats; a private stable, with fine
equipages; an institution farm, from
which the tables will be supplied
Wealthy patronage will be sought and
every method employed in the we'll
known sanatoria Of the country FOR
the restoration of health will be used
at Resthaven-o on Minnetonka.
DR.. Leo M. Crafts was the first
physician to suggest the plan to Mr..
Badger, and the medical men have
inspected the site. Its natural advan-
tages are evident. On the highest
ground will be the main building, and
alongside, by opening a channel, the
ravine will be made into lagoon
| Trees are plenty, but not too thick to
exclude the bright sun.
Preparatory to launching the ven
ture Mr.. Badger visited the leading
institutions Of the class in America
He found that sanatoria handled by
boards Of directors produced better

this idea will be adopted. The board
will be composed of business men

Nine firemen were injured and
property valued at 100000 was de-
stroyed in a fire which broke out in
the f1ve-story building at 1OS-11O
Third street N, at $3.50 o'clock last
night. None Of the firemen was fatal
ly injured while the fire loss is nearly
covered by insurance. The origin Of
the fire is unknown.
The fire was discovered by the
night Waterman at the Lyman-Eliel
Drug company, who saw smoke issu-
ing from the front windows in the
fifth story. No sooner did the first piece
OF apparatus arrive at the fire than a
battle began in earnest. No fewer
than eleven hose lines were laid and
every effort was made to keep the
flames confined to the burning build
ing.
When the fire was partly under con-
troll, District Chief Kehoe led eight
men, bearing two lines of hose, up
building and then to the roof. Slow
ly and laboriously they made their
way to the second, third and then to
the fourth floor. Mounting a wind
ing stairway which took them to the
fifth floor, tugging at the heavy lines
Of hose, the f1remen continued their
upward way. Suddenly there was a
lapsed and the men were thrown to
the floor below, which, in turn, broke,
and hurled them to the landing on the
second floor. Three of them were
found to be unconscious when their
comrades rescued them, but all soon
recovered except John G. Johnson,
who was taken to the city hospital
for treatment.
AS soon as the injured were car
ried out, Chief Kehoe. sent another
detachment Of men to the roof, and
a few minutes later the fire was un-
der control.
The origin of the fire is a mystery,
altho it is thought to have started
from defective wiring. There was a
rumor abroad last night that the fire
was Of incendiary origin, but there is
no reason to believe this report true.
The damaged building is owned by
eastern capitalists and rented to Bliss
Painter & Co., who in turn rerent to
! the other tenants. The three upper
stories were badly burned.

STABBED HIM WITH
!, INTENT TO MURDER
Tsmpany's Assailant Was an
Enemy Who Sought His
Life.

David Timpany, found unconscious
sop Twenty first avenue yesterday
m Drning with six knife wounds in his
back was a victim Of an old enemy
VINO intended to murder him in cold
blood, according to the story of the
police, who claim that they have evil
dence that will prove this beyond a
doubt They further affirm that they
know the assailant's name and that
he will soon be captured.
Investigation by Detectives HELM and
Hanson showed that Timpany had
4 drawn 50 from his employer the night
he was assaulted. With this he pur-
chased a hat and some clothing. Per-
sons who saw him Thursday evening
say he had but two drinks and that
4 he was not under the influence of
liquor. The assailant was also no
tiCed to be keeping a close watch on
him and went out shortly after Tim
pany left the place.
Robbery was not the motive, for the
victim had no money and the other
man knew it. Revenge was the only
motive, say the police, and if the ar
rest is made Timpany will probably
tell what he knows, altho he has re-
nained practically silent SO far.

the different articles will last for two
or three days. Among the subjects
covered by the report of the commit

of opinion on nearly every article
there will be warm discussion and it
will delay the election of officers until

The report of Francis A. Mcdonald,
attorney for the order, was brought

with the famous injunction At the
close of the afternoon meeting the re

its converting were read and voted on
Their adoption was second victory

THE PIANO
OPPORT UU[TY
YOU HAVE Been
VI AITluG FOR
High Grade Pianos Selling at the
Prices Of Cheap Ones.

One cause or another makes 1t
necessary for every piano house to
repossess certain number of pianos
each year. The reasons are numer-
GUS. People often give up their in
struments through loss of position,
sickness, death, divorce, and many
other causes. In a business of the
magnitude of ours there is of neces-
sity quite few pianos returned. We
have always made it a practice to
offer those pianos to the public twice
year. This is one of the times when
our usual custom will prevail. This
sale will especially appeal to people
who prefer a high-grade used piano
to new cheap one. Half of the in
struments are as good as the day they
left the factory, both interior and ex-
terror, having been used only from
two to six months. Only the tell
tale number Of them would indicate
that they had ever been out of the
warerooms. You will find any kind
Of wood you may desire
Oak, Walnut, ETC., and pianos in all
sizes. The lowest discount we are
making on any Of these returned in
struments is $50, and from that up
to $3.50. We will at the, same time
offer a number of used upright pianos
taken in exchange for new Kimball
and Hallet & Davis pianos, prices
| ranging from $50 up also squares
from SIS to s25. The list of pianos
| offered includes such makes as Rich
ardson, Steinway, Arion, Chickering,
Decker Brothers, Mathuchek, Haines,
Bush & Gerts, and others. Terms will
be made on any Of the instruments
! offered at this sale to suit the pur-
chaser, and a new stool and scarf will
be given without extra charge. The
store will be open evenings, and you
will be treated courteously, even if

LIBELED MORGAN'S YACHT
Deckhand Gets Better Of millionaire
at Duluth.

With millionaire on one side Of the
controversy and humble deckhand on
the other, Uncle Sam interfered in be-
half of the latter. Deputy United
States Marshal Grimshaw had hand
in the dispute, which arose at Duluth
soon after the arrival of the private
yacht Pathfinder.
W. II. Morgan, whose name is
blazoned forth on bicycle and automo-
bile tires, was the owner Of the yacht.
It has been his idea that his crew
should wear natty uniforms of white
duck and blue serge.
Bert Olson, the deckhand, wanted to
resign n at Duluth, and sought to collect L,
skipper remarked that singularly
enough that was just about what Olson
owed for his sea togs. These were Of
no use to Olson and being unable to
effect a settlement he appealed to the
federal authorities. Deputy Grimshaw
made a hurry trip from Minneapolis
and as a result the Pathfinder was Ii
beled. Morgan was in hurry to sail
early the next day and paid Olson his
500 rather than suffer delay.

MADE-To-oRDER ROMANCE
Friends Promoted the Marriage of Mr..
and Mrs. G. E. Thorpe.

There was no Mrs. G.. F. Thorpe in
the wide world when the excursion of
the Northwestern Shoe Dealers asso-
citation left Chicago for Isle Royal last
Sunday. But there is now.
The forty excursionists proved to be
industrious matchmakers. As soon as
they saw Miss Emma J ohnson and G..
r. Thorpe, editor Of the N orthw estern
Shoe and Leather J ouEnal, together on
the steamer Easton, ttIe knew the two
were born for each other and the pro-
motion of their wedding became the
personal interest of every one. The
young people finally consented to a
marriage. Il
Then everything was forgotten ex-
|cept the romance on board. At Grand
Marais, while j. p. Clark, Ned Dripps
and George e. Pratt were making a
bargain for license, Mate Charles R.
Eide found preacher, the remainder
of the company and the crew prepared
/ the main salon for the ceremony and
the ladies. Captain eflauson gave the
bride away.
The Irish parliamentary fund for the
lyear 1908 amounted to $63,045.

Charles Crawford's natural affection
brought him into police court this
morning on a charge Of assault and
battery upon Robert Gibson, pound
keeper. He will be tried next Thurs
day. Crawford, according to his own
story, allowed his COW to go out Of

Just as he was about to take hold of
her, Gibson came up and pushed him
able to hear without q ear trumpet,
did not heed Gibson remarks to the
effect that he was a poundkeeper. The
owner pulled the cow one way and the
poundkeeper another. Crawford began
to think he was being buncoed, so he
loosed his hold on the cow and gave
Gibson thrashing. He did not learn
that he had assaulted an official until
the warrant had been sworn out.

John A. Johnson of st. Peter, pros
pective democratic candidate for gov
ernor, was in ST. Paul last night, re-
turning home on a morning train.
He declined to say whether he would

importance to himself. However, his
tone in discussing the matter is dis

He is not ready to say yet, however,
whether he will or will not be a can

COURT NEWS
NON-DELIVERY AIIFGED
Wheat Spectators Will Air Thei
Difficulties in Court.

Suit to recover $24,S32 from the
Kemper Grain company of Kansas
City has been instituted in the district
court by the Holt Grain company Of
this city. The plaintiff alleges that
1t made contract with defendant for

This contract is claimed to have con-
tained a provision whereby the de-
fel&1ant company could draw drafts
upon plaintiff for sums not to exceed
80 per cent Of the purchase price of
the wheat. This, it is alleged was
done and the Kansas City company is
charged with having drawn down
5$1S,032 in cash on drafts. 1t is fur
sther alleged that no part Of the wheat
was ever delivered and that the plain
tiff was thereby further damaged to
the extent of $4,000.
