with the situation with the result
that he was severely burned on both
hands, as well as singed, without the
least checking the flames, and after
making an attempt to put out the
fire with water from the well of
Marion johnson his neighbor. the
efforts of his neighbors and himself
were turned to getting out the fur
niture, the wind fortunately being
from the west and fayoring the re-
moval of practically all but the
kitchen furniture. Meanwhile the
fire Department. had succeeded in ex-
tending their hose from the Wash
ington street hydrant to the burning
house and it was the work of a very
short time to put out the fire.
While the rear part Of the house was
destroyed, the front is only damaged
in the roof. Mr.. Williams had
transferred a policy protecting his
property only the day before. SO that
his loss. though not large, will be re-
covered. Another piece of good
luck was that the house purchased
by Mr.. Williams some time ago
the old Liebenguth residence on
Fourth street was vacant, so that
the furniture piled out in the street
at the time of the fire was quickly
transferred, and Mr.. Williams and
his family were under their own
roof within few hours after being
burned out.
The loss on the building was also
fully covered by insurance in COM
pany represented by the State Bank.

A MINNESOTA FATHER OF THE AUTO
Major ]. R. Brown, a Hero of the In
dian Uprising of so, the Man.

A recent number of the Evening
Journal contained reference to
Major J. r. Brown, the famous
chief of scouts in the Indian war Of
the sixties. as the inventor of a
steam wagon which was originally
designed to transport supplies from
Minneapolis to Fort Ridgeley in
stead of by the OK teams used in
that period when Fort Ridgeley was
a military post. The Journal de-
clares that the major was "the first
boy to drum the reveille at Fort
Smelling; the man who named Min
nesota; after whom Minnehha creek
was once called Browns creek; the
founder of Saltwater, Henderson
and dozen more prosperous towns
lof Minnesota; the inventor Of the
first steam automobile, and a man
who himself was a scout in the
Indian wars, paralyzed in the serv
ice and receiving a pension from his
country.
Major Brown died in New York in
1870, but he had gained much dis
tinction before that. because of his
invention of the steam wagon. AL
ways a resident of the west, Mr..
Brown built his first experimental
wagon in Minnesota, expecting to
use system of steam wagons to
transport supplies from Minneapolis
to Fort Ridgeley BY way Of Hander-
son instead of by the slow OK teams.
The whole plan of the steam wagon,
the forerunner of the automobile,
was dropped at the death of Mr..
Brown in New York.
Meanwhile. John G.. Brecken-
ridge had delivered an address from
the platform of the wagon at Hen
derson in the campaign of 1860. and
Fernando Wood, then mayor of New
York, had ordered the first steam
wagon withdrawn from the streets
of the city because it was so noisy"
The Gazette CHANGED to meet w.
w. MCGOWAN of Morton soon after
coming across the above historical
reference and asked Billy" who
was scout under Brown for some
time, whether he had any knowl-
edge of that steam wagon. Mr..
Mr.. MCGOWAN responded. Sure,
and | sol 1iered with the Major for
two or three thousands Of miles at a
time. That steam wagon last saw
in Renville county. where it had
broken down and been abandoned
after being run that far from Hut
Crimson.
| So it seems that the first attempt
at the automobile lad the same
habit of breaking down in the mid
die OF the prairie that it's modern
successor has. Asked in what town
the old wagon broke down, Billy
laughingly responded that there
wasn't any town in that time-that
it was in 1863. before there were
either railroads or villages in Rem
vile county, the wagon being left
out on the open prairie.

Cemetery Cleanup May 21st.

The cemetery association have
fixed upon Saturday next week,
May 21st, as cleanup day, when the
ladies will go in body with rakes
and wheelbarrows to make the Gem
etery presentable in preparation for
Decoration day. The ladies have al
ready enlisted the services Of two
autos to take them to and from the
grounds, and have made call for
volunteers from the ranks Of auto
owners and other mere men to join
them in the good work.
The cemetery association took
action at its last meeting to put a
stop to the dumping of refuse along
the road leading to the cemetery,
and we take for granted that team
sters will take notice and here
after drive little farther to the
dump ground rather than lay them
selves liable to prosecution for dis
figuring the highway.

MAD CAPITOL REVEL|
New Jersey Lawmakers End
Session With BacchanaI.
WOMEN IN THE GALLERIES
Can Can Danced in Committee Room.
Champagne Flows Freely and
States Business Is Forgotten.

TRENTON, April S.-The closing session
of the 134th legislature lasted all night,
and ended literally ''in the cold, gray
dawn of the morning AFTER which was
Thursday.
If some of the legislators feel no re-
morse for their part in the scenes enacted
in the capitol, their eonsciences will be
awakened by the preachers Of Trenton.
Preferred Wine to Water.
1t was an important session. Gov. Fort
passed the night pleading, fighting for a
bill prohibiting the diversion of the sub
surface waters of the state to New York
and other territory
Many legislators were infinitely more in
terested in the supply of champagne.
Surely it was not the discussion about
water that filed the galleries with women
at midnight.
Many of these women are known here.
Some are known to the police.
Sitting in the galleries, they pointed out
this and that legislator and called each
by his first name. When two or three
lawmakers fell asleep women in the gal
leries pelted them with paper pellets.
One assemblyman awoke to find half
empty bottle on his desk.
Put that in cold storage he exclaim-
ed. The gallery applauded the chaste
wittlcism.
On a wall in the capitol hang battle
flags of the revolution. In a little room
back of the assembly speakers chair
and directly under the historic relics
champagne was flowing fastest. There a
cancan was danced that would have
done credit to the Moulin Rouge.
Contractor Invited Them.
In a corner of the room sat moon
faced man in evening dress. He is not a
member Of the Legislature. but q wealthy
contractor, who, it is said, has caused
much trouble in the city by failing to OBJ
serve the specifications of contracts
awarded to him.
1t was he who invited the women for
the delectation of his legislative friends
in the closing hour of their labors. So
he was content to remain in the corner,
the jaded Jersey Nero of the feast, pass
ing comments on the stunts and MAX
ing often a brief but telling speech.
Another basket of wine,''
The crowd made earnest attempts to
kick the ceiling.
The ceiling was too lofty. A woman
jumped on a table. Her elevated efforts
were rewarded with loud cheers.
Then a hthe little woman said she
would give the Apache dance. She called
legislator to her side, but he was too
stout, too scant of breath and too I'M
steady of foot to be her partner. So she
danced alone while the ceiling rang with
applause.
Fled at Light of Day.
Finally the dawn peered over the Della
ware river. The women, unaccustomed
to the splendors of the day, bade the
legislators a noisy goodbye
The lawmakers sought their lodgings;
the janitors piled the wreckage-empty
bottles, cigarettes and cigar butts in
baskets designed for less ignoble waste.
The session, with its closing amusements,
had ended.

REGULATION OF INTEREST,
Money Lenders Restricted to 2 Pei
Cent Month-License $500.

AS the so-called loan shark bill pass
ed the Senate yesterday afternoon it will
authorize money lenders, other than bank
ing institutions. to charge not more than
. per cent per month interest on loans
up to $500. Senator Paynter's amend
ment. allowing that rate only on loans of
$50 or under. and allowing rate of only
/ per cent per month on loans of from
sol to $500, failed of passage.
Senator Paynter was successful, how
ever, in having the Senate adopt his
amendment increasing the license fee for
money lenders from 500, as proposed in
the bill reported by the committee, to
$500. The added revenue to the District
and the possibility Of reducing the num-
Der of money lenders was urged by Sena-
tor Paynter in support of the increase.
