Minneapolis - Saloonlzeepers will
not be permitted to serve liquors to
women or to have women in their
places of business under any pretext.
Positive orders to that effect covering
the remainder Of the present admins
tration were issued by the mayor
through his license inspector: The pen
atty threatened for violation of this
rule is strict enforcement of the Sum
day closing law against those who
may offend. At the beginning of the
present administration an order was
issued forbidding all wineroom busi-
ness, and large proportion of the sa-
loonkeepers accepted it as final. Some
few dealers in the downtown district
have continued to serve female pa
irons, and the new order is TO make
them understand that the practice will
no longer be tolerated.

Much Water.

Duluth. because of the greatest
rainfall ever known in one season in
northern Minnesota, the great reser-
voirs Of the upper Mississippi now
hold iE storage more water than they
have ever previously contained at this
time of year.
So says Major c. NJ. Derby, United
States engineer in charge of the reser-
voir system. He intimates this may
necessiate emptying the reservoirs dur.
ing the winter, which would create
unusually heavy winter waterpower.
Said Major Derby:
THE amount of water now on hand
in the reservoirs is greater than ever
before at this time of the year. The
river, however, is now steadily falling
and the reservoirs may have to be
heavily drained before Nov. Is, when
navigation closes. The water has fall
len at St. Paul from IA feet inches,
July II, to 5 feet inches today. II it
approaches three feet on the gage, the
reservoirs will be opened more SO as to
maintain flow of 5000 cubic feet a
second, as, is necessary to maintain a
three-fo cubic measure"

July weather will be SO much mlder
tI;an that of the preceding three months
that fear of destructive storms should
not be entertained Weather of July
will be of more than usual intensity but
not very dangerous.
The above described disturbance will
affect the whole continent and will cause
the most radical hot wave Of the sum-
mer. As this hot wave moves eastward
it will cover the continent north and
south and one thousand miles east and
west Within "a hours of pm July 4
| expect that hot wave to reach merld-
ian &c. which runs near Pittsburg, Pa
and Toronto, Canada. Threatening
weather will occur on east and west
sides of that hot wave.
Following that low or not wave will
come great fall in temperature &C
companied by numerous showers. but

days of the month. Most severe weather
of July will occur not far from 2. 8. p
