suits.
One of the most important suggested
changes in the game law, the Doug

game commission to sell confiscated
game to the highest bidder. irrespec-
tive of locality, will be before the meet

Many sportsmen contend that the
right of purchase should be vested In

JOHNSON HOPEFUL OF
WORLDS PROGRESS
Governor Addresses Park Con.
gregational Church In
Optimistic Vein

The annual dinner of the Park Con-
gregational church was given last
night at the Commercial club. The
big dining room was filled with MEM
bers of the church and a few special
guests. Among the latter were Gov.
John A. Johnson and Rev. C. E. Al
brecht of Kioto, Japan.
The POSTMASTER was w. G. White,
and after dinner numerous speeches
were made. Gov. Johnson, who pro-
fessed to be a Presbyterian, responded
briefly to the Introduction of the toast
master.
He declared that the world was bet
ter today than il had ever been before
and that religion had a stronger grasp
now than at any time in the history of
the world. He said that the progress
of humanity was higher and better,
and that the general trend of the
whole world was upward
Governor Is Hopeful
In speaking of material things he
said:
The people have solved many OF
the great questions that have arisen,
solve many of those that remain. With
reference to the matters of govern
ment, sociology and political economy
that now appear in the near pros
pective, | believe that they will be
properly settled by the people in the
close communion of the home and fire
side; in the meetings of the congrega-
tions ami in the fields of~labor. And 1
believe that they will be settled for
ever when the people. like Cardinal
Newman, kneel and say, Lead, Kindly
Light"
w. ]. Dyer spoke of the Business
Man in the Church.
He said there were two principal
reasons why business men failed To
attend church more generally
Blames Commercial Spirit
. First, he believed that the CONNER
cial and materialistic spirit of the age
was against many business men taking
an active part in church work, al
though the average business man was
very strongly In favor of the church as
an abstract proposition.
Second. he thought that the innate
dislike of hypocrisy which was felt
universally by business men often led
them TO excuse non-attendance at
church by saying that they thought
the insincerity of some of the profess
ing Christians added little weight to
the causeSof religion. and that they did
not see any advantage in being classed
with them.
There were fully $50 present at the
dinner, and during the evening a dozen
or more speeches were made. Musical
numbers were given by a male quar-
tette.

H0RSNfLL ACCUSED
OF Big LAND FRAUD
St. Paul Employment Agency
Operator i'm Trouble With
Government

For the alleged fraudulent entries or
homestead claims on public lands Will
lam Il. HorSnell, who conducts an en-
ployment office at so East Seventh
street, appeared before United States
Commissioner Spencer for preliminary
examination yesterday. Owing to the
fact that the complete evidence of the
government was not ready for submits
sion, postponement was granted for
one week.
Horsneil is charged with wholesale
fraud in securing title to homestead
lands, through the agency of persons
who were induced for a consideration
TO fill out applications for homestead
entries. These applications would, it
is said, be placed in the hands of Hors-
nelTs agents, who would apparently
comply with the legal requirements in
filing on government land. At the COM
pletion of the necessary time, it is
claimed, these agents would take the
required oath as to residence, etc, and
upon the payment of $1.25 per acre
prove up on the lands, which would
then be placed upon the market.
AT the time that the application for
homestead entries were made out by
practical dummies 1t is ALLEGED that
deed would be drawn up dated ahead
to coincide with the time of proving up
transferring the title to the property
to Horsnell.
These methods are said to have been
employed by Horsnell in securing a
large number of claims. which have
since been transferred or sold to other
parties.
Horsnell was given his liberty upon
filing bonds in the amount Of $500, not

of the crime charged would entail n

WILL BUILD TUNNEL
UNDER FAIR TRACK
State Fair Managers Decide
to Construct Subway to
infieId

When visitors to the Minnesota state
fair this year and in years to come,
wish TO view the horse races from the
field, they will gain access to that field
through a tunnel leading under the
track for a distance of eighty feet. This
tunnel will be twenty feet in width and
of height sufficient to allow the driv
ing through of a standard tallyho rig.
At a meeting of the board of direct
ors of the State Agricultural society,
held at the Merchants hotel last even
ing, it was definitely decided that such
a tunnel should be built under the
mile track at Hamline, and it was or
dered that plans be prepared for the
tunnel, which ii is expected will cost
about $4,000.
Work Will Start Soon
Work will be commenced as soon as
the frost is out of the ground in the
spring and the tunnel will be ready for
use before the opening day of the fair.
In past years great inconvenience
has been caused through pedestrians
and teams driving across the track TO
the field. Considerable danger is al
ways present in this practice, too. and
several accidents have resulted, for a
number of horses are always being
speeded upon the track during the ear
ly part of the afternoon and before
each race. Besides these two disad-
vatages of using the track as a cross
ing has been the third drawback OF the
way in which the turf is cut up by
heavy vehicles
The tunnel is a scheme Of overcom-
ing this drawback, which has found
favor with eastern tracks, although it
is a comparative innovation in the
west, and the one at Hamline when
finished will be the first in the north
west.
The board, at its meeting last night.
also decided upon details attending the
removal of the Minnesota building from
the St Louis exposition grounds to
Hamline. The building will be brought
In sections to the fair grounds and
will be set up facing the dairy building,
on the vacant corner lot directly across
the main avenue from the womans
building.
A fat stock show will be an added
feature to the live stock department
of the fair, according to a decision ar
rived at by the fair managers. Pre-
miums will be offered for carloads of
market fattened cattle, sheep and pigs.
This department will not in any way
conflict with the stock breeders show
and is arranged to encourage and incite
interest in the industry of fattening
stock for the market.
There were present at the meeting
last evening President Cosgrove. Vice
President Griggs, Dean Liggett and
Secretary Randall

picture contest and it seems 10 him that
an evening with the proverbs would not
only be much more novel,. but would be
fully as interesting as an evening with
progressive euchre or any other game.
A system which suggests itself in the
mind of the manager is that the hostess
distribute the pictures among her guests,
together with copies of the books Of
proverbs. marking each picture with the
interval of pages i'm which the answer Is
found; say from ! TO 80. from IA to a.
etc. A limited time would be set for the
turning in of answers and then the
answers read by some appointed person.
In the reading of the answers barrels
of fun would undoubtedly result. Then
prize could be awarded to- the person on
persons securing the largest percentage
of correct answers and a consolation prize
to the one that didn't.

1.-The average man is Gods master
piece and the noblest of all creatures, "
said Rev. A. B. c.. Dunn of Eau Claire
during his lecture on the Average
Man" at Mozart hall last night Fa-
ther, Dunn is a powerful speaker and
held the large audience that packed the
hall. intent during his talk
He spoke in part as follows:
The average man is first of all a
patriot in times of peace and war; he
is honest virtuous, religious and is
possessed of a large portion of COM
mon sense. When you meet a man who
clasps YOU heartily by the hand; whose
whole being radiates cheerfulness, and
who would go to any trouble to do q
friend or neighbor a favor, then you
have met the average man. 1t is the
average man who has made this coun-
try, who has fought for 1t. and when
necessary died for it. Generals will
come home from bloody fields unscath-
ed to be lauded to the skies and dec
Grated with wreaths of laurel, but
with life blood streaming you will find
the average man, a martyr to his coun-
try.
Battles for His Country
What we need is average men, not
great men. Too many parents make
the mistake of educating their children
TO be great men when they are not
capable of receiving that education, and
many a boy that would have made a
good, honest, useful citizen, a credit to
the community where he lives, has
been ruined by his parents, who sought
to make him something that he could
not be.
Better that you have a good black
smith i'm the family. or an industrious
broommaker, than a boy who is only
capable of receiving smattering of
knowledge and who knows not how to
profit by il after he receives it. 1t is
the average man who is the backbone
of the country, it is he who won the
battle at Minila bay and sank the
Spanish fleet at Santiago, and it is the
average man who has made this coun-
try what II is today
again, il is the average man who will
bring up his children to respect him
and who will be able to look to them
for comfort in his old age. The aver
age man does not shut off part of his
house for visitors and forbid his chill
dren to enter therein, but he allows
them The entire freedom of his home.
What cares he If the baby with It's
sticky little hands leaves a smear on the
piano-if he does not like it he washes
ii off; nor does he care if his furniture
begins TO show signs of wear and tear.
Why, by the time he needs new furni-
ture his children will be able to pro-
vide him with II, and in the meantime
will have become SO attached to the
old home that mountains or seas could
not keep them from it. Wealth is but
a tickle goddess; fame is but an empty
glory. but the incarnation of all that
is good and true In this world is the
average man."
