Heretofore St. Paul has had a 5-cent fare on the streetcar the year round, but Minneapolis has been obliged to pay 10 cents with the exception of fair week. The Btreet railway com pany has moved the Midway line from Raymond avenue to Snellmg avenue and in the future Minneapolis will en-joy the 6 cent fare, fair or no fair, which seems fair.

Keith has bought the George Spear property at the junction of Lndal and Hennepin avenue with Vineland place, from the Farmers and Mechanics' Savings bank. Eventually the point of land will be used as the site of an annex for the Plaza apart ment building now being built by Mr. Keith at the other end of the block. When the Plaza is completed, a high basement will be built on the Spear property, in which a temporary garage for the tenants of the Plaza will be built, with a level-street entrance from Lyndale. This part of the build ing will also accommodate a drugstore. In the extreme point of the annex Mr. Keith expects to establish the Keith company's offices. The situation will be ideal for the purpose, with an un obstructed view in three directions and overlooking Lowry triangle. The Annex, when the time comes for its erection, will match the Plaza in archi tecture, with concrete exterior. Not withstanding two months' delay in get ting steel, the Plaza will be finished on timeOct. 1. DEATH IN ICE WATER Popular Young Woman Dies as Result of Drinking When Overheated.

Will Set Sail Tomor row Morning from St. Paul with the "Daylighter" Excursion to Still- waterWill Return in the Evening with the "Twilighter"Cheap Rates Or on the Mississippi' and St. (Jroi rivers to Stillwater will take place tomorrow. The weather man says that everything is "favorable for excursions," and The Journal proposes to give the best of the season tomori^r. There will be a trip of more thair 100 miles by river and rail for the remarkablv low price of 95 cents. The palatial steamer J. S, one of the largest and safest stoeamboats on the Mississippi, elegantly equipped, will carry The Journal excursionists on the two scenic rivers. The J. S. has a commo dious dance hall, women's cabin, a smoking-room and everything thjit goes to make a first-class steamboat. There will be a good orchestra in attendance, and those that wish to dance will be allowed to do so. The big steamer has a capacity of 2,000 passngers, but The Journal has limited the sale of tick ets to only 400, thus msurfrvg plenty of room and the greatest comfort to every body who goes. The first excursionknown as the "Daylighter"will leave Minneapolis from First avenue S and Second street on chartered streetcars at 8:30 tomor row morning and will arrive at the steamer docks in St. Paul o'n*e hour later. Then will begin a delightful trip of six hours down the Mississippi and up the St. Croix to Stillwater. The excursion ists will arrive at the prison at 3:30 p.m., and after an hour's visit will leave on a special North-Western train, arriving at the Minneapolis union.' sta tion at 5-30. The afternoon excursion"The'Twi lighter"will leave the Minneapolis Union station at 2 o'clock on a special North-Western train and will arrive at Stillwater at 3:30, where they will meet the other excursion party on its way home. The Twilighter" will be ac companied bv "The Journal Band" and a concert will be given in Stillwater from 3:30 to 4-30. Then will begin a glorious trip down the St. Croix and up the Mississippi, arriving at St. Paul at 10*30 p.m. Chartered cars will be in waiting and Minneapolis will be reached at 11:30. Transfers from the chartered cars will be issued to any local line desired. The Journal office will be open this evening until 9 o'clock, for the convenience of those who wish to buy their tickets and avoid any rush tomor row morning. Tickets will also be sold at the Journal office in the morning from 7 until 8 o'clock, and from 8 until 8-80 they will be sold at the corner of First avenue S and Second street. Tickets can be secured all forenoon at The Journal counter for the afternoon excursion. Tickets are selling fast for both ex cursions and this delightful trip offered is apparently most popular with every body, but no more than 400 tickets will be sold for each excursion. If you don't take one of these splen did economical trips tomorrow you will miss a treat of the season. WELCOMED DELEGATES German Epworth League Convention Organized and Under Way. Mayor A. B. Smith said yesterday evening in his address welcoming the delegates of the German Epworth league to St. Paul: "Last evening for the first time I read thru the constitution of the Ep worth league. If the principles and spirit therein would be carried out it would result in the complete reforma tion of the city and state. I am con vinced that permanent reforms cannot be accomplished by legal enactment, but only by the raising of the standards of the people.'' Eev. J. Berger, who followed the mayor, welcomed the visiting young peo ple in behalf of the German M. E. churches of St. Paul. He called atten tion to the work willingly done by the local committees in preparation for the convention as a proof of the welcome ex tended by the churches. Yesterday af ternoon Governor John A. Johnson wel comed the leaguers in behalf of the state. Rev. H. F. Lange of Walla Walla, Wash.,JEormerly pastor of the Dayton's Bluff German E. church, responded in behalf of the delegates, and Karl Keck, the celebrated German poet, read an original poem, based upon the cru- sader-'3 motto, "Got Will Es." The work of organization was com pleted yesterday and the convention spent today in listening to a program of addresses, mostly in German. In the evening the delegates will visit the new state capitol, which will be illuminated in their honor. FEARS JUDGES st, Paul Man Says Municipal Court Is Prejudiced.

J6-'$ MAY ^ARRIY Er MONDAY ADVANCE MAN SAYS COOPER WILL RE HERE THEN IF HE DOES NOT COME IN MACHINE. The man who travels in advance of the Great Cooper, as he is called, was in the city Friday making arrange ments for the accommodation of Cooper and his assistants during their coming visit to this city. When asked as to the date of his employer's arrival, the advance said that Cooper would probably arrive in Minneapolis Monday, but 'of this- he was not certain. He had heard that his employer might drive a motor car west, and if he de cided to do this, would probably not ar rive in the city before Wednesday of next week. He states that the automobile fever has a firm hold on his employer at pres ent, and that it would not surprise him in the least if Cooper did make the trip from Dayton, Ohio, to Minneapolis in a machine. MAY BORE FOR HIDDEN WATERS PURE WATER SUPPLY FOR MINNE- APOLIS IS IN VIEW. If Government Engineers Are In structed to Make Hydrographic Sur vey of the Minnetonka Vicinity, Hidden Reservoirs Supposed to Exist Under Ground May Be Located. Cool, fresh, sparkling spring water from deep artesian wells may some day be had for the city's water supply. There is a possibility that in the near future a sufficient water supply of this sort for Minneapolis may be located near the city and taken advantage of. For years it has been believed by cer tain interested persons that the water problem might be solved this way. and now a little work on thu. part of the congressman from the district may decide the question. Congressman Lmd before retiring secured a promise of a hydrographic survey of the Minnetonka square. Thru his efforts Minnetonka was State Treasurer Block says he does not care to enter into any argument affecting his recommendation for the sale of $2,000,000 in Virginia funding bonds, against which R. C. Dunn is making protest. Mr. Block says: "My recommendation for the sale of those bonds and investing the proceeds in Minnesota securities is based on a business proposition. I believe the peo ple of this state should have the use of this money. "There is no politics in the recom mendation. If others want to make folitics out of it, that is their right, am state treasurer and propose to act and advise as I think right. I think that the state should sell these bonds and I stand by that advice." FOR UNIFORM COUPLINGS Fire Chief Canterbury to Address In ternational Convention. Chief J. R. Canterbury of the fire department has be"en asked to read a paper beforefethe international conven tion of fire cn%fs, which meets in Du luth in a few days. His subiect will be "Uniform Hose Threads.'' He has led the movement to have congress pass a law requiring all cities to have uniform connections. At present the connections are differ ent in all the large cities, and in case of a large conflagration help cannot be obtained from outside. Even in the twin cities the threads are not the same and special connections have to be made. The department of commerce at Washington had taken up the cause, and Chief Canterbury has been in formed that such a law will be intro duced at the next session of congress. The law will probably be drawn up in the rough at the convention after Chief Canterbury haB read his paper. ELEPHANT LIKED GOOD CIGARS Peculiar Double Negative Prints Freak PhotographCauses Much Merri ment at New Store. Instances of peculiar and often very laughable photographic "doubles," or two exposures on one plate, are fre quently discovered by photographers who develop negatives for amateurs. A case of the former kind was re cently brought to light at The New Store. A young man who has become quite expert with his camera brought half a dozen negatives to the New Store photo department to be developed,^ and among them was a double exposure. The first view was that of a recent circus parade, the second being a like ness of the young man's father, a prominent business man, and the odd part of the picture was that the gen tleman, who is sitting, appears to be seated sidewise upon the broad back of one of the circus elephants, while the uplifted end of the elephant's trunk is seemingly poked into an open box of cigars near at hand. The funny "dou ble" caused much amusement at the New Store and among the young man's friends. Incidentally it may be stated that the gentleman is a strong republican, and In view of this fact seems to be well seated. I l!*l lfl tplaced on the list of lakes and streams under the special care of the government and a topographical survey ordered. The hydrographic survey will be under the direction of the war department, and as the name implies, signifies a survey to determine the nature and sources of water supply. Mr. Lind has done the necessary preliminary work and it is stated that should the matter be given any attention by his successor the gov ernment would order tue work done. Altho the government in undertaking the work would not have the welfare or Minneapolis particularly in mind, Min neapolis would be able to take ad vantage of the government reports and in case large subterranean reservoirs were located, could lay plans to tap them for the city water supply. Pro fessor Horace V. Winchell and several other engineers have contended for some time that a broken subsurface ledge ex tends across the northwestern part of Hennepin county. They have expressed the opinion that an inexhaustible sup ply of water would be found following this ledge and that it could be easily tapped, being near the surface. Owing to the expense of sinking test shafts, no experiments were ever made to de termine the correctness- of these opin ions. It is known, however, that Min netonka is on a linr with the ledge and that it is fed by springs. The government in undertaking the work would secure without expense to the city the necessary data. If, as is supposed, large reservoirs do exist near the surface along this ledge, the sur vey would bring their existence to light and the city could take advantage of the government experiment. The ex pense of sinking wells after the reser voirs were located and of piping it the short distance to the city would be easily met for the sake of an absolutely pure water supply.

Wilkinson of W. S. Nott & Co., Minneapolis, has stirred up a big fuss in Chicago by publicly accusing Fire Chief John Campion of corrupt practices. He charges that Campion has arranged matters so that the Amer ican La France fire engine is the only kind which can b sold to Chicago, notwithstanding that better engines can be obtained for much less sioney. A specific instance is a contract for five engines whjch former Chief Mush am recommended be awarded to fthe Nott company, as it meant a saving of $70 an engine. Before the contract could be executed, Musham received or ders to hold off. A little later he was deposed in favor of Campion, who promptly 4xed the contract for the La France company.
