CUPID FOILS
YELLOW JACK
RIDEGROOM-TO-BE ESCAPES THE
QUARANTINE GUARDS.
Fever Scare Prevented the Brent-Butts
Nuptials in Laurel, Miss, but the
Principals Stole Away-Ceremony
Performed at Hotel del Otero, Lake
Minnetonka. .... ..."

Dreaded yellow fever may spread ter
ror and create stringent quarantine
laws and regulations, but it cannot in
terrupt the course of true love. So
much is proven by the wedding last
Monday at the Hotel del Otero, Lake
Minnetonka, Of T. E. Brent of Laurel,
Miss, and Miss Matte Butts Of Ar
kansas. .... -.. ...
These young people were to have
been married at the home OF an uncle ne;
of the bride-elect in Mississippi. The
fever scourge prevented the nuptials.
More than that, the impatient lover
was held prisoner to quarantine laws
in his home. Correspondence was not
denied him, however,. and plans were
made.
On day set, in defiance Of rules,
regulations and disease, the bridegroom
to-be escaped the guards and made his
way north by the shortest route. He
came directly to Lake Minnetonka,
Monday morning. Hasty arrangements
were made. A minister was, secured
by telephone and Monday afternoon the
young people were happily united by
Rev. Stanley B. Roberts in the apart
ments of Mr.. and Mrs. George F. Hop
kins of Hotel del .Otero. -. g..
The bride and bridegroom will take
a somewhat extended wedding trip and
will mot return to their future home
until the yellow fever has become a
thing of the past. .r.'5.',.}
The affair was witnessed by small
circle Of friends from the hotel, and
in spite Of the hasty preparations, the
apartment where the service was read
was fittingly arranged for the event
with masses Of flowers and foliage. The
witnesses were Mr.. and Mrs. George F.
Hopkins, Mr.. and Mrs. M. J. Murray
Of New York, Mrs. Hall, Miss Eliza
beth Morgan, W. w. Boyd, Miss Min
ME Wyman, Cora D. Boyd, Alicia E.
Morgan and r. F. Morgan Of st. Paul;

iel Harrington and w. J. Williams Of

mont, Miss Lila Macdonald and Mar
garet Fuller Of Columbus, Ohio.

Alfred Keil, sandwich vender, is
near death IS door at the city hospital
as the result Of a deep knife wound in
ficted by James Dunn at clock yes
terdav afternoon. Dunn is locked up
at police headquarters where he stoutly
atfirms his innocence in spite Of the
fact that he has been identified by sew
eral eye witnesses to the cutting.
The affair occurred in front of Pete
Blair's saloon at Nicollet avenue and
ner, J. W. Sheerin, had stationed their
wagon. Dunn came up to the wagon
and began to make insolent remarks to
the customers, driving some of them
away. Sheerin, seeing that Dunn was
intoxicated, led him away, but the man
returned and began abusing Keil.
Keil then jumped out of the The wagon
then made a vicious lunge at Keil and
head. Keil is powerful man, but did
not see the menacing weapon in time to
save himself, and he closed with his an;
tagonist. Dunn made a pass at Keil
with the knife, and the wounded man
staggered back to the wagon, calling to
his partner. Dunn ran for refuge in
nearby alley, where he was pursued
and caught by Patrolman GEORGE Dahl.
Kei1 was hurried to the city hospital,
and an examination showed that his in
testines had been perforated In sew
eral places.
When Dunn was first arrested his
hands were covered with blood, but on
the way to police headquarters he man
aged to wipe most of it away in some
manner. Dunn says he has lived in
Minneapolis for fourteen years and that
he resides at 4O3 Hennepin avenue. Al
tho he was put thru severe sweating
process last night, he still stuck to his
story that he was not the man who had
the trouble with Keil He had never
seen the man, he said, and was just
supper.

COLD WAVE A TRAMP
METEOROLOGICAL HOBO ADDED
TO DISCOMFORT OF THE SUM
MER-C CLAD CITIZENS TODAY.

AS much real discomfort attended the
cold wave which greeted the unprepared
citizens Of Minneapolis this morning as
comes with the high pressure products
Of real winter. In Offices and stores
clerks went about their work with
numb fingers, and on the streets the
combination Of straw hat with an up
turned overcoat collar or Of heavy
gloves with a generous expanse Of open
work hosiery was too common to ex-
cite comment. r." 49,. 80. -
At the weather bureau in the federal
building the observer had large stock
Of statistics to explain Just how it hap
pened and to show that he was in no
wise to blame. -.
It seems that some cold air currents
from the North Pacific are making a
vacation tour of the states. Yesterday
was spent in Alberta, Can, and this
morning the advance guard arrived in
Minnesota. There was enough 50-de.
gree temperature to spread from the
Mississippi to the Rockies and as far
south as Kansas. The cold will move
on to the east within the next
twentY-fopr hours, but there is another
wave behind it loaded with frost.
Tomorrow morning a temperature
anywhere between 80 and 40 degrees
may be expected. There is almost a
certainty Of frost in the low districts
At noon today discomfort in the form
Of a chilling rain was added to the
cold, but clearing prospects early in
the afternoon gave promise of better
things.

MAYOR JONES
PROCLAMATION

AS Tuesday, Sept. 8, has been set
apart by the management Of the
Minnesota State Fair as Mi1neapo-
Lis day, and as the value and i'm
portance Of this annual exposition
Of the industry and products Of
this state cannot be exaggerated in
their relation to the advancement
Of this community, hereby order
that the various departments Of the
city government be closed after !
pm. Of that day.
T would also urge upon every
business house and 111anuf acturing
establishment that they cooperate
to the largest practicable degree,
by partial closing Of their places Of
business, to insure the success Of
this occasion, as by a large attend
ance this community can show it's
appreciation of one OF the most
powerful factors In the develop
ment Of the city, state and the
northwest. David P. Jones,

WHEAT FROM PINE LAND
CLEARING IN ITAsCA COUNTY
YIELDS 35 BUSHELS TO ACRE,
OF HIGH QUALITY.

Samples Of new wheat Of high grade
that ran thirty five bushels to the acre
were brought into Minneapolis today
by A. G. Bausman. Remarkably high
as is the yield, the most interesting
thing about it is the fact that the
wheat was raised in Itasca county. On
the farm Of E.. O. Valley, township
149, range 26, in a clearing in the
woods, this record was made. Itasca
county has not been classed as agricul-
tural, and as a wheat producer it has
not before been heard Of.
Mr.. Bausman says the clearings in
the woods are doing surprisingly well,
proving the fact that a large area Of
country really tributary to Minneapo-
lis, and now given up principally to
the lumberman, is susceptible to devel-
opment in an agricultural way, once
the stumps are cleared of the land,
which is remarkably rich and fertile.

ster church at an interdenominational
mass meeting Sept. 10, and holding

1t is quite within the possibilities
that permanent summer institute, like
that held in Silver Bay, New York, may
be located here. One for the middle
west has been decided upon, and four
teen locations have been examined and
found not entirely satisfactory. Miss
Violet Roberts, secretary, confessed to
having written, unofficia11y, to the COM
mittee suggesting Minneapolis, and the
city will doubtless receive considera-
tion. LIS 81

The Northern Pacific railroad has

al readers of the rural papers to

MAIL DIRECT TO ].
FORT SMELLING
SERVICE MAY BE ESTABLISHED
f ON NEW STREET CAR LINE,
Application Will Be Made to the Post
office Officials at Washing ton-They
Promise to Take It Up-Au Mail Now
Goes by Way Of st. Paul.

In response to suggestion made by
IT he Journal the local postoffice
authorities will at once make applica-
tion to the postmaster general for direct
mail service between Minneapolis and
Fort Smelling. -.
Under the present arrangement all
mail passing between this city and the
fort. goes by way of st. Paul and is
much delayed in consequence. There is
a branch postoffice at the fort. Mail
is collected at 900 am. and 4:30 pm.
by an enlisted man, is taken to the fort
office, sorted and sent to st. Paul.
Thence the Minneapolis mail is sent to
this city on the interurban line. Mail
is sent from St. Paul to the fort twice
a day. The Sunday service is one mail
day, delivered in the morning.
Under the present system it takes
from twelve to eighteen hours for a
letter to pass between Minneapolis and
the fort. .-.>-- " -
The proposed change calls for direct
service between the fort and the city
by way of the new Fort Smelling line.
The same man who handles the pouch
tend to the fort service. By this ar.
rangement it would be possible to in.
sure the delivery Of letter mailed at
the fort in the morning on the after
noon of the same day, instead of the
morning Of the day following, as at
present.
The Washington correspondent OF
he Journal questioned the post
office department on this subject to-
day. He telegraphs:
"The postoffce. department. officials
made for street railway postal ser
vice between Minneapolis and Fort
Smelling, but that as soon as such 9
requisition appears, the question viii
be taken up and carefully investigated
with view to determining whether
the service is necessary. The applica
ton may be made by the postmaster al
Minneapolis, the postmaster at Smell
ing or the commandant at the fort. -

NEARLY HALF FAILED
Usual Heavy Percentage Lose in Teach
ers' Examination.

Barely one-half of the candidates for
teachers certificates who presented
themselves for examination last month
were successful, but the result is pleas
ing to the superintenaent Of public fd in in
two past years. There were 1912 can
didates, and certificates were granted
to 1886, or to 1882 per cent. Gram
mar took the place of mathematics as
the worst stumbling block. History
was another difficult subject.
The certificates were distributed as
follows: Complete first grade, 365;
complete second grade, 1,4o2; condi-
tional first, $50; conditional second, 584;
limited second, 835; renewal first grade,
20; renewal second grade, 1885,; ex-
changed first grade, 20; exchanged Sec
ond grade, IA.

Rye Must Be Cleaned.

Another point Of Importance in this
rule is the clause affecting rye. There
IS no dockage on rye as on wheat, flax
and barley. Consequently rye has been
tested when dirty. It must now be
tested after cleaning. which gives the
farmer a better show as to weight.
IN the new inspection rules rejected
made No. 4, making now six grades.
The note. regarding hard, finty wheat
was retained, notwithstanding protest.
as it was, believed no hardship would
be worked. 10
Rejected durum wheat is done away
with and No. 4 grade is substituted.
Altho complaint was made last year
that the standard of rye was below any
other market in the world, the re-
quest of some. that the board but a
dockage on rye was not observed to
maintain uniformity with world s mar
kets. No. / rye is advanced from SIS
to So pounds, and No. 2 from 50 to 81,
still leaving it one pound below the
WISCONSIN inspection, AN advantage for
the Minnesota department. 4 No change
was made in the standard on flax, altho
requests were filed, az the present stand
ard was deemed satisfactory. r
To stop the practice of mixing dirt
with barley by eastern agents after it
left Minnesota inspection, the rule re-
garding feed barley is changed. Strong
requests came in along this line from
Duluth. The new rule reads: stFeed
barley-No.~ / feed barley must test
not less than forty pounds to the meas
ured bushel, and be reasonably sound
and clean. No. 2 feed barley shall
include all barley which is for any
cause unfit for the grade Of No. IL
Rejected faxseed grade is omitted in
the new inspection rules, in favor Of
No. 2.

CHANGES

BOARD OF APPEALS ALTERS IN.
sPECTIoN REGULATIONS.
Ingenuity Of Dealers in Securing Wheat

Hereafter Weighing Rule Made
More Specific. Rejected Grades
Give Way to Numbered Grades.

! Uniformity in state inspection and
fair correspondence with the markets
OF the world in grading was sought by
the state board of grain appeals in it's
annual joint meeting yesterday Petit
tlons from different points were con

announcer important change is the rule
regulating the matter of pouring grain
into the test kettles. BY simple ma

one pound to the bushel. One of the
nIeI acCs .! Mr. EVenson at ter his ap-
Roln1t!ment in March, was the discovery
that in Duluth grain was poured in one
manner, and in Minneapolis it was
poured otherwise. To the uninitiated
there was no difference, but the scales
showed otherwise. By pouring the
grain into the middle Of the kettle the
weight Is heavier than in the case
where It was poured against the side,
as in Minneapolis. The rule reads:
Manner of testing wheat, fax, barley
and rye shall be tested after it is
