ade. In the center is an electric light

the option of the visitor as to whether
he patronized any or all of them. For
that matter, some Of them are free and
in addition a program is given each
afternoon and evening Of open-air acts
such as aerial and acrobatic perfor-
mances. bicycle sensations trained ami
NAL shows. fireworks displays, etc.
"OiiueIldlu park is " lufIllSn Mul-

undoubted merit in the visit of J. S.
Duss and his band. A two weeks en-

ST. Paurs population has increased
10000 in the past year. making the
city's population 100000 These figures
are based on estimates by the COM
pliers of the new city directory, and
they may be taken as conservative.
An increase of 10000 in one year
breaks all records and indicates, in a
way. what may be expected Of ST. Paul.
The largest prior increase was in 1892,
when the city directory indicated an
increase of 1900. The 1905 directory
the 1904 edition, indicating an increase
of 5,265 in population.
Frederick Weyerhauscr, the ST. Paul
multi-millionaire lumberman, is cred
tied with having made proposition to
the new Business Mems League of St.
Paul, for the construction of a mag
niticent new hotel for the sanity city.
The terms of the proposition are be-
ing closely guarded from public an
nouncement until the conditions are
fulfilled. 1t is understood, however,
| Mr.. Weyerhauser offers to invest ST.
100000 in a hotel building. to be out
classed by none in the west, if the
Business Mems League sees to the Sc
curing of further money for site. The
site the league has in view is the
hosiery at Fifth and st. Peter oc-
cupieS one corner. The recent sale of
one corner of this block by the St.
Paul lodge of Masons is said to be in
connection with advancement of the
new hotel scheme. The league is rails
ing $o5O,OOO to $500, 900.

is believed that the boy, who had been
employed only few days, fell down
the open shaft, and that the heavy
car, descending upon him, crushed him
to death. The examination at the city
hospital showed that he died as a re-
suit of internal injuries and that his
chest had been crushed. 1t is thought
possible that the elevator may have
made several trips after O'Halloran
fell unconscious to the bottom of the
shaft, and that each successive trip
added to his injuries AS soon as
found, he was hurried to the city hos
pital, but was dead before he reached

with his parents. His funeral was held

Melvin c. Jackson, one of the best
known young men of the city through
his long connection with Nicollet av-
enue furnishing goods stores, died at
his home, No. 20 Fifteenth street
north, at an early hour Tuesday. Mr..
Jackson, who was p years of age. had
been a sufferer from pulmonary trou-
Bile and a few months ago sought re-
lief in North Carolina. He returned
about the LIST of June, apparently
greatly improved, and to his friends
laughingly remarked that he was not
going to die because he felt strong
and well. But it soon became evident
that the disease had made such inroads
on a constitution not naturally robust
that his death was only a matter Of a
few months. Mr.. Jackson's last en-
ployment was with whipple & Malm-
stedt, 426 Nicollet avenue. He was one
of the most popular statesmen in the
city and fine business career was
opening for him. A peculiarly sad
thing in connection with his untimely
death was his engagement to marry
soon. His funeral was held Thursday
morning from the Immaculate Concep-
ton Church. After requiem mass the
body was taken to Dubuque, Iowa, his
former home, for interment

Belief that the east side offers
field for another bank has resulted in
steps being taken to form a new insti-
tuition with capital of 100000. The
locations under consideration are the
new McMullen building on Central av-

Commercial Bank in the Chute block.
