sIMIAN LOVE AND REVENGE.
Peculiar Conduct Of q Monkey Causes
Sailors Much Trouble,

Peculiar Conduct OF Monkey Causes
Sailors Much Trouble.
A curious story of love and revenge
comes to us from the far east, and the
fact that it is the love and revenge of a
Japanese monkey doesn't abate the hui
man interest in the narrative. Nor
should the further fact that the tale
comes to US via the crew of tramp
steamer abate all confidence in its
truth. 1t appears that the sailors who
manned this steamer had collected in
Java a number of monkeys for specu-
lative purposes and these were con-
fined in the hold.
Among them were two unusually in
telligent simians who were released
during the voyage and permitted the
freedom of the ship. Unhappily sud-
den storm came up and one Of the
playful creatures was washed over
board. The remaining one, who had
not seen his comrades sudden taking
of, searched the ship for hours and
finally betook himself to the rigging,
where he remained three days, refus-
ing food and avoiding all efforts to
capture him.
No doubt he held the sailors respon-
sible for the death of his partner, and
it would appear that he was formulat-
ing scheme for revenge. Anyway,
the third night he released all the
monkeys in the hold and for two days
the simians made life miserable for
the sailors. They bit and scratched
and fought and it was only after
a number of them had been flung over
board that the balence could be cap
tured and secured. And in all the
forays and fierce charges the revenge
full monkey was in the van.
Whatever may be contended concern
ing the reasoning powers of the brute
creation, there have been many in
stances recorded of their remembrance
Of past injuries. And this fact would
seem to give the story Of monkey VEN
geance some semblance OF truth.

Weather Conditions.

The storm which has, been causing
rains for several days is now central
off the Virginia and North Carolina
coast, attended by rains during the past
twelve hours from North Carolina to
New England, and westward as far as
the middle Mississippi valley. The fol-
lowing heavy rains are reported: Bos-
ton, 2.l4 inches, and New York 2.5s.
In eastern Minnesota and Wisconsin
and in the southeastern states the rains
ended yesterday. High pressure, COM
ing in after the cyclonic disturbance,
has caused low temperature for the sea-
son over the lake region, the upper and
middle Mississippi valley and thence
westward to the Rocky mountains, with
this mornings temperature below 50
degrees as far south as Cincinnati, Cal
70 and Oklahoma, but they are begin.
ming to rise again in the north and
northwest because Of a large low-pres-
sure area over the Rocky mountains
and the north Pacific coast region. A
rainstorm attending the western ow
pressure is expected to bring showers
in this vicinity on Tuesday, preceded
by fair weather tonight. The tempera-
ture will rise.

now MINNEHAHA
CREEK IS 'RARIN'
EDNA MILLS DAM SWEPT AWAY
BY FRESHET.
Lowlands Along the Greek Are Flooded
and Light Bridges Are Wrecked, but
No Heavy Damage - Rustic Bridge
Below the Falls Is in Serious Danger.

A rapid rise in Minnehaha creek,
following the heavy rain Saturday,
turned the small stream into a swirling
river which completely. demolished the
dam and main bridge at Edna Mills,
and did more or less damage along the
banks for a distance Of many miles.
The bridge went out with crash at
of timbers and the roaring Of the
water as it swept over them awaken
ing the residents of the village. The
great pile of timbers were carried
swiftly down stream, where they
crashed into another, but smaller
bridge, running it also.
Thru the accident the villagers are
left without means OF crossing the
stream without going some distance out
Of their way, and the old mill owned
by H. F. Brown is without power, as
an emergency steam plant was never in
stalled.
The meadow land and several cult
waited tracts were flooded and badly
damaged. Some of the lowlands thai
| were used for pasture are still 1oodet
! and cannot be used until several weeks
after the flood subsidies. Other small
bridges between Edna and Minneap
oils are reported as destroyed. Most o:
them were built low because of tn
| low banks, ana there was nOCnlnR u
prevent their floating down STREAM
when the water came UP to them.
No one was at Minnehaha falls whe1
the first great rush of water came, bu
all the forenoon the roar could be >hear'
at some distance. There is some fea
that the bridge below the falls may g
out if the creek continues to rise.
Bassett s creek, which has been on
rampage because Of the recent heav.
rains, found it's further activitie
curbed today by the cessation of tn
rain. The stream is still high and tn
low land along it's course will be unde
water for some time. It is expected
that a heavy head Of water from fa1
Their north will soon send the Missis
sippi up and that considerable back
water will flow into the creek and hol
il at nearly it's present level.

INSURANCE men
BLAMED FOR FIRES
STATE FIRE MARSHAL MAKES HIS
REPORT.
Incendiarism Is Pound to Be Decreas-
ing, but Disregard Of Business Prud-
ence i'm Writing Risks Is Charged
Against Agents and Companies-Min-
nesota Rates Too High.

Edward A. Peterson, state fire mar
shall, today filed report with T. ID.
O 'Brien, state insurance commissioner,
relative to fire insurance rates IN Min
nesota, and also as to fires within the
state during the period from July l to
Dec 81, 1905.
Mr.. Peterson asserts that too high a
rate of insurance is being charged IN
the state. In tabulation Of stats
tics for ten years past he shows that in
Minnesota the ratio of losses to 800
premium is $4908. That thruout the.
United States the ratio Of losses to 800
premium is $500. The excess Of the
Minnesota premiums over the average
of the country is 1892 per cent, which
equals $5,971,251.
Incendiarism Decreasing.
In his report on fires, he asserts that
| incendiarism is decreasing.
cit appears to me- he says, tthat
the crime Of arson is not as prevalent
in. this state as is generally supposed,
and in most cases which have investi-
gated on suspicion that the premises
were set on fire by the insured for the
purpose of obtaining the insurance
price, I found such reckless disregard
| of ordinary business prudence in as
Stunning the risk, that the wonder is not

are not more Of them.
Fault with Companies.
"This fact leads me to believe that
the remedy against this class Of crimes,
Of the danger to society and consequent
effect upon insurance rates, is not so
likely to be found in effective prosecu:
ton, as in eliminating the cause of
over-insurance, which furnishes the mo-
tive.''
Mr.. Peterson complains that fire de-
partments are not following the. new
law and reporting to him. This is no:
tably true Of st. Paul. There were 402
fires reported to him from eighty-fve
towns and cities. Of the causes TO,
fire, seventeen resulted from children
playing with matches, twenty from
lighting, fifteen gasolene, fifteen defect
i've chfmneys, fourteen spontaneous
combustion, twelve defective electric
wires, eleven lamps, eleven suspicious
and the balance from miscellaneou:
causes.

Consultation with Old Residents and

Theory That It Is the Sun, Thing
Once known to Shine on These Parts

Shooting it's fierce rays thru the riffs
in the clouds which had become disor-
ganized after a. week Of almost contin-
uous rain, an unfamiliar luminary
startled Minneapolis yesterday after

CONSERVATION strove with curiosity for

canic gas In an incandescent state, and
atmospheric electricity were some Of
the theories advanced to explain the
FURNISHED globe which was fast becom-
ing wholly visible, and each theorist
had money to back his opinion The
weather bureau, the university observ-
atory and several leading clergymen
After a careful investigation and
consultation with the Hoary and Vera
cious Order of Oldest Inhabitants, T.

observatory, issued bulletin officially
proclaiming that the mysterious visit
ant was the sun.

for seven days and it's reappearance
was the signal for much rejoicing. Last
week six inches Of rain fetl in western
Hennepin and Ramsey counties. The
rain belt Of the state was practically
the valley Of the Minnesota river. In
this region the highest precipitation was
3 inches, while that in the vicinity OF
Minneapolis was the maximum. North;
ern Minnesota received only one inch OF
rain during the week.
The total rain fall for the month, tc
date, is 1907 inches. While there are
no exact figures on sunfall, showing
the number of British thermal units OF
sunshine to the square inch, a conserva
tive estimate places it at 0.O0O2ll93.
The sunfall Estimated.
These rain figures, while not final fol
the month, practically decide that May
1906, will have to go on record as the
second wettest May. The figures fo7
May, 1877, are l4.4s inches and tho TO-

month would equal or surpass this rec
