BRIGHT OUTLOOK
FOR BOATOWNERS
NAVIGATION ON THE LAKES TO
OPEN SOON.
Firms Owning Vessels Expect to Re-
coup Losses of Last Season Mime
apolis Fleet to Be Among the First
Reported Cleared-Boats at Buffalo
and at Head Of the Lakes.

Advices received on Change indicate
that navigation on the Great Lakes will
open early, and that an enormous
amount Of tonnage will be ready for the
boats when they start.
A Duluth man in Minneapolis today
says the prospect is highly favorable
for a prosperous year, and vesselmen
expect to recoup for the losses attend
anat upon the great labor tieup OF last
season. J.. 49, -". ~:
The Minneapolis fleet, the big Peavey
boats, are ready, and will be among the
first reported cleared. The Hefelfnger
Lies at Buffalo and will probably come
up with COAL The Wells and the G..
w. Peavey and F. II. Peavey are at the
head of the lakes, and will probably
clear with ore, altho there is little do
ing yet in charters. .- '--E
A wire from Duluth this morning says
that if the present weather holds, the
first clearances will be about April l
or 2, and navigation will be open by
April 10 in any case.
This will be an unusually early start,
for in times past the Duluth Superior
harbor and the Straits of Mackinaw
have not been entirely free OF ice to
May l. It will not make a new record,
| however, for in 1902 there was an ex-
traordinarily early spring and one Of
the Peavey fleet got out Of Two Har-
bors on March 81.
There is much freight to go down
the lakes. Anywhere from 30,O00,000
to 100000 tons Of ore will move and
much -four and other tonnage.

cussed this morning, Professor Web
ster bein gpresent to elucidate further
his subject, "some Moral Phases Of
the School Question:
The Importance Of the training Of tho
ethical teachers of the church in sound
principles Of psychology and pedagogy
was emphasized by MI. Webster and
DR.. D. l.. Kiehle, who took the ground
that this was not now done to any con-
siderable extent Several others, while
agreeing with the necessity for this,
thought the Sunday schools were about
on part with day schools In respect
to this training.
The necessity for accurate instruc-
lions on the evil effects Of bad habits
was given stress, as exaggeration leads
to distrust of the whole teaching.
At the meeting of the Baptist minis
tiers DR.. E. P. Hammond talked of his
evangelistic work maong children and
Rev. Q. J. Triggerson made a statement
Of the accepted scientific doctrine Of
evolution as held today.
DIR. George L. Merrill read the first

Sunday-school teachers to the Congre-
gational ministers. At the meeting of
the Methodist preachers DR.. J. S. Mont

on its receipt workmen began clearing
up the site for excavation. 49,.
The approval of the enlarged plans,
after sketches by Long & Long, archi-

a freproof wire glass, that is absolute

leading from the entrance to the build
ing thru the alley to the Third avenue
entrance of the court, city hall and

When S. T. Mcknight builds a six

the alley he will allow three feet for
similar purposes, thus making a TWEEN

The grand entrance will be on Second

elaborate bronze lamps. Other fittings
in the building will correspond. Five
passenger elevators will be Installed.
The structure will have frontage of
152 feet on Second avenue and a depth
of 1872 feet on, Fourth street. The ma

Powder Burns on Patrolman's Coat
Raise the Question. ~.

Patrolman Michael Krisko Of the
central police detail, was shot thru the
coat last night while trying the doors
at the rear of the Standard Warehouse,
Third avenue n and Second street.

fact that his clothing shows powder
burns. The bullet passed thru his
overcoat, but did not touch the skin.
