City Water Department Had Its Busiest
Day Yesterday.
May II was notable in the waterworlzs
department as the biggest day for water
collections in it's history. The amount
received by. Cashier Gowen was only.
$500, but this represents nearly 5000
bills. BY the new system of city book
keeping one man is able to handle the
entire work of receiving the money and
giving receipts. Under the former sys-
tenn at least .ow. men were needed on a
big day, and even then they could not
begin to accomplish what Mr.. Gowen now
does alone 81 u 3

Rebuilding Won't Be Considered Till In
surance Is Adjusted.
Old officers of the Minnesota Beet Su-
gar company of Minneapolis were re-
elected yesterday in New York At the
next meeting of the board of directors
the question of rebuilding the burned fac
tory at st. Louis Park will be considered.
President F.. w. Fink said the insurance
inspectors and adjusters had not COM
pleted their work and it was premature
to discuss the question. In his annual re-
port the president said that over 100000
pounds Of sugar had been manufactured
when the factory burned. The plant had
been equipped with most. modern machin-
cry, which extracted 2 per cent more sac
charine than any other plant in the world.

Another Rise Today.

The records of the weather bureau
show. that the river has risen six-tenths
Of a foot during the past twenty-four
hours. The bureau has arranged to
have river reports telegraphed from
Mankato and ST.. Cloud when the height
of the water approaches the danger
mark.
On account of the backwater from the
dams, it is almost impossible to main
tain gauge in Minneapolis. On that
account the records kept at the North
Side pumping station are used.

Remarkable Grating Operation.

Edward Ickes, thirteen-year-old boy,
has begun at Philadelphia long ordeal In
the remarkable grating operation to supply
skin to the chin of his half sister, Lydia
Finnegan, who was severely burned in an
accident almost year ago He is tightly
bound with leather straps, almost covering
his whole body, to prevent the slightest
motion The physicians say it will be
week or ten days before the children can
be liberated from their cramped positions
and relieved of the tremendous strain
which they must undergo.
During the time when the flap of skin
on the arm of the boy is adhering to the
chin of his sister, the slightest movement
OF either patient may cause the operation
to be unsuccessful, and during the nights
when there is the possibility of the children
attempting to change their positions while
asleep nurses will be on watch to prevent
this.

with much pleasure, as we had not
enjoyed the privilege for ten years.
To give you an idea of what blizzard
in this section of the country is l will
relate the experience of an acauaint-
ance with one of them early in the cur
rent winter. He had some stock in the
barn, about fifty yards away, that
needed feeding. The storm was ter
rifle, and he could not see ten feet from
the house on account of the swirling
snow.
Fearing that he would get lost he
took bal! of twine, and, after tying
one end to the door knob, started for
the barn, asking his wife to pray for his
safe return. Unfortunately for him
the string broke before he reached his
destination. and he hogan shouting for
help. Happily, his wife discovered
that the string had parted, and by call
ing as loudly as she could, finally at
tracted the attention of her bewildered
husband and guided him safely to the
house.
On thawing out he asked thechildren
II their mother had prayed for him as
he had requested on leaving the house
They said they did not remember her
offering up any distinct prayer, al
though they heard her say Lord" a
few times, which was satisfactory to
the poor man.
This is fine country to look upon,
but generally too dry to produce good
crops. Cattle do splendidly and do not
have to be fed unless snow covers the
ground. 1t is very level and there are
no running streams.
1t is.a good country for young mar
to get start that has the get-up-and'
go to him. Land is very cheap and 8

The water here is excellent, but the

into the earth to get it. The supply in

Camp No. 1880. Modern Woodmen Of
America, yesterday received . sight
draft from the head banker of the or
del for the sum of 5000, in payment
of the policy carried by Grant Chess in
that lodge. The check was turned
over to MIS-. Chess in liquidation Of her
claim against the Woodmen. The res-
son the claim was not paid promptly
was that the order was anxious to pro-
cure definite evidence of the death Of
Chess, but failing in that it was decid-
ed that the beneflciaries were entitled
to the money and it was accordingly
turned over to them. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Chess was supposed
to have lost his life while endeavoring
to cross Four Mile creek after . heavy
freshet last summer. The theory Of
his disappearance is that he was
drowned and his body covered up by
the sand.
