An attempt to fix the responsibility
for the death of Mrs. Sebenthal and
the injury of her husband, F. r. Seb-
enthal, of Eau Claire, on the Ferris
wheel at the state fair will be at
| tempted and suit for damages may
be instituted. F. R. Farr, an attorney
of Eau Claire, was in ST. Paul We'd
nesday and has begun thorough in
vestigation OF the accident. He would
not state what action he would take,
but he was busy calling on state Off
Gals and inquiring into the causes of
the accident. The immunity of the
state from damage suits is estab-
lished. An effort will probably be
made either to establish criminal
negligence and secure the punish
ment of the guilty ones, or a damage
suit may be brought against the
owner of the wheel, c. G. Gill.
Mrs. Rose D. Rittman, chief ranger
of st. Cecilia Court of Foresters, this
city, and high vice chief ranger of the
w. c. o. F., returned home from Chi
cago recently where she had attended
the regular quarterly meeting of the
national board. At the regular meet
ing of St. Cecilia Court, held in Odd
Fellows hall, corner Fourth and Cen
trial, Monday evening, Mrs. Rittman
was made a party to most pleasant
surprise. The members of the organ
iZation who were out in large num-
bers, had prepared an excellent lunch
con for the occasion and as further
mark OF esteem for their chief ranger
presented her with beautiful bouquet
of flowers. Mrs. Alice Dwyer, for the
! society, made the presentation ad-
dress and Mrs. Rittman feelingly and
happily responded.

not be surprised if this figure is ex-
ceeded by $4,000 to $4,000. Enough
is known about the amount OF money
on hand and the outstanding bills to
warrant the statement that 100000
will scarcely represent the profits
! this year. The new building will be
35Ox175 feet and will have a seating
capacity of between 1000 and 5000.
The arena will be about 125x325 feet,
the whole being of sufficient capacity
to accommodate from 10000 to $4,000
people.
Mayor Jones has signed the ordi-
nance restoring the old Fourth ave
nue. short line and the street railway
company is expected to resume opera
tons over the old route within a few
days. The strenuous opposition of
| the bar association seems to have
given way and it is not probable that
any legal action will be taken to pre-
vent the passage of the cars. John
M. Rees, president of the bar asso-
citation, says that it is within the
power of the association to summon
the officials of the Minneapolis Street
Railway company for contemrt of
court on account of their breach of
agreement with the legal fraternity
of the city. Although the cars run
ming on Fourth avenue undoubtedly
do much to interrupt court proceed
ings it is hardly probable that the law
yers of the city will try to thwart what
is unquestionably the desire of the
people.
Holding the Inheritance tax passed
by the last legislature unconstitution-
al, F. G. Harvey, Judge of the probate
court, will probably refuse to fix the
tax on the $2,OO0OO0 estate left by
the late John P. Martin to his grand.
son, Earl Brown. Should the decision
be sustained by the Supreme Court,
Hennepin county will lose nearly
100000. The tax now would amount
to only about $4,000, as only between
100000 and 100000 will be given
to Mr.. Brown at this time. The re.
mainder of the inheritance, by the
provisions of the will, is not to be
given to the young man until he be.
