A POINT OF NEGLECT In butter-making, 99 creameries out of every 100 use lake or surface water in washing ih<ir butter after churning. Such water is hardly ever wholly free from impurities, sometimes is very bad. We use in Washing our "Star Brand" butter as fine pure, clear water as can possibly be procured. It comes from our artesian well nearly 500 feet deep, diilleil especially for the use in our churning room at big expense. This is only one more instance of the amount of care and study which we have siven to every point of butter-making. The supremacy of our "Star Brand" butter Is due to looking after just such little things as this in a different way from the usual one. Milton Dairy Co. Cor. Ninth and Wabasha sts. CITY CATCHES FIERCE WIND AND RAIN STORM An Inch of Water Falls in Less Than an Hour, and Streets Run Like Rivers. One of the heaviest rain storms which has ever visited St. Paul struck the city yesterday afternoon at about 2 o'clock, accompanied by heavy wind and considerable lightning and thun der. Within fifteen minutes over half an Inch of water had fallen, while the velocity of the wind was about fifty miles an hour. Trees were blown down, windows broken, street cars stopped, houses struck by lightning, and the streets converted into rivers. The sewers were gorged and wholly unable to .any off the immense fall of water, which ran over the curbing. •ld the sidewalks, and in many cases ran into stores and covered the floors. An umbrella was absolutely useless in the face of the elements. Nearly one inch of water fell during the afternoon. The lain lasted for about half an hour, and stopped as suddenly as it. had commenced, and the sun came out bright and warm. The streets were filled with water for nearly half an hour alter the storm had ceased. Fortunately the storm was purely local. No lain at all fell at Midway, and even at Lexington avenue there was no rain to speak of. It was a single cloudburst, right over the city. Had the storm extended into the coun try the damage would have been ex tremely heavy, the grain being beaten to the ground. The one thing the farm ers now dread is a heavy rain storm, as the srain is exceedingly heavy.

NO FAMINE IN COAL LOCAL DEALERS SAY THERE IS NO PROSPECT OF IMMEDI RISE IN PRICE LARGER CONSUMPTION OF SOFT COAL WILL RESULT Owing to Shortage at Head of Lakes There May Be a Slight Raise in Price of Hard Coal Jan. I—No Change in Soft Coal Prices. Although the extended strike of the workers in the anthracite coal fields has already somewhat embarassed the mine operators, and, if continued, will seriously retard their business, local consumers need have no fear of a coal famine in the Northwest market or any immediate increase of prices. Such is the opinion of the local representative of the distributing companies as as certained byTheGlobe yesterday. Among others who were seen in re lation to this question was E. W. Sha dle, sales agent of the Janes & Adams company. This company, as is well understood, occupies the unique posi tion of being the only independent dock and shipping company in the North west. Discussing the situation in a general way, Mr. Shadle said: ... No Soft Coal Strike. "It may now be said to be definitely settled that there will be no strike among the miners in- the soft coal dis tricts, and their efforts will be chiefly devoted to making the strike of the hard coal miners a success. What the outcome of that strike will be it is hard to say; but it has already gone far enough to effect a shortage in this market. Several of the companies are already refusing orders and the supply at the head of -the- lakes is running very low. And even should the strike be brought to a close now there not be a pound of hard coal shipped over the lakes until Sept. 1, for the Eastern market must be first supplied. The Western territory, tributary to Chicago and Lake Superior, uses but 5 per cent of the anthracite coal consumed in this country, and the Kast will be first con sidered. It is now an assured fact that in the Western market we will be 40 per cent short of the requirements, and that shortage must be made up from all-rail shipments. If the strike should continue three weeks longer there can be but little further shipment by lake for the season closes soon after Nov. 25. No Raise This Year. "About 10 per cent of the hard coal for consumption in the Twin Cities has already been delivered, and by reason of this strike a large number of the country dealers have laid in their first stock —that is, they have already se cured the supply they would ordinarily have ordered in September and Octo ber. For that reason there will'not be any actual suffering in the beginning of the season, although there will be a shortage, of course, at the head of the lakes. There may possibly be an in crease in prices late in the season, but if so, it will not come until after Jan. 1, and the increase will not be great. "The logical result of the short-age of hard coal will be a'greater consump tion of soft coal, and the companies have prepared for that by laying in larger supplies than usual of soft coal. There will be no material change in the prices of soft coal." MISS STONE VERY CHARY OF GIVING INFORMATION Missionary Not Inclined to Talk Much to Newspapers. "Hello." The pert little salutation came jerk ily over the wires yesterday, and fell so flippantly on the ears of The Globe representative that he almost dropped the receiver, and totally for got to answer. He had felt sure that missionaries, especially ransomed mis sionaries, would, like society women, eschew "hello." When he seized the receiver again there was silence. "Hello," he essayed, rather feebly, himself. "Hello," responded a voice that had ceased to sound frivolous,, and was only irate. "Are you Miss Ellen M. Stone?" he queried, dubiously. "Yes, I'm Miss Stone, the mission ary," came back the answer, sharply. "What do you want?" "An interview," ventured The Globe man. "Have you an objec tion?" "None, if I can give it over the tele phone," said Miss Stone, without cor diality. "What do you want to know?" What the interviewer wanted to know was the color of Miss Stone's eyes, the way she did her hair and how her gown hung. But there were ob vious objections to putting these ques tions over the telephone, so he tempor ized. "What effect has your capture and ransome had on the heathen and the missionaries in the district in which you labored?" "I am to tell that in my lecture to night," objected Miss Stone. "Do you like St. Paul?" queried the interviewer feebly, to gain time. "Very much," came back the decided voice. "Is that all," with evident sar casm, "that you want to know?" "Do you think American girls make good missionaries?" asked the inter viewer, desperately. "Depends upon the girl," answered the ransomed missionary, snippishly. "Anything else?" "No-o," answered The Globe man, regretfully. "I can't think of anything else." "Good-bye—O, just a minute," broke in the voice again. "Hello." "Hello," answered The Globe. "Will you be present at the lecture tonight?" queried the missionary, a shade more of cordiality in her tone. "I don't know," answered The Globe man, truthfully. "Well," answered the missionary, "if you come you'll iearn everything you want to know there." "Thank you," said The Globe man "Good-bye." "Good-bye," called Miss Stone, ami ably. Council Lacked Quorum. The two bodies of the council met in special session yesterday afternoon for the purpose of approving a contract for the grading of Fillmore avenue and the consideration of the school budget, but in the case of the board of alder men a quorum did not make its ap pearance and adjournment had to be taken to Thursday evening. The school budget was referred to the joint committee on ways and means. At the meeting of the board Thursday evening the contracts for the paving of Central Park place and Jack son street with asphalt will be ap proved. County Board Committees. The county board of equalization met yesterday afternoon, but further than the appointment of committees, nothing was accomplished. The dead lock between Aid.

PAUL DAIRY COMMISSIONERS TO MEET HERE NEXT YEAR Commissioner McConnell Says Com mittee Is Practically Pledged to Lo cate Convention in This City—Uni formity of Food Laws Discussed at Late Meeting. W. P. McConnell, state dairy and food commissioner, returned Monday evening from an extended trip to the Pacific coast, the primary object of which was to attend the national con ference of the state dairy and food commissioners, which was held at Portland the second week of this month, and yesterday he was in his office for the first time in several weeks. Mr. McConnell expresses himself as greatly pleased with the results of the conference, and says there are very strong indications that the next con vention of the food and dairy commis sioners, which will probably take place in August of next year, will be helcl in St. Paul. A number of the larger cities represented extended invitations to the body, but the matter was left to a special committee of five mem bers to investigate as to cost of trans portation and decide accordingly. Three of the members of this commit tee have promised Mr. McConnell to use their influence on behalf of St. Paul, and one of the others is known to be favorably inclined toward this city. Therefore, as St. Paul is advan tageously located with regard to the question of transportation, the pros pects of securing this convention are regarded as very encouraging. Uniformity of Food Laws. The efforts of the convention were chiefly directed toward devising means to secure conformity of the dairy and food laws of the different states which are now in some respects widely at variance. Under the existing condi tions it frequently occurs that a prod uct manufactured in good faith in one state, and meeting the legal prescrip tions of that state, does not fulfill the requirement of another state, and therefore cannot be legally sold there. Commissioner McConnell has been ap pointed one of the members of a com mittee of five to act in this matter., A national pure food law haa been drafted in rough form, and the draft will be submitted to the dairy and food departments of all the states for criticism and suggestion, after which the bill will be formally prepared and introduced in congress in the course of the coming winter. The original draft of the bill was prepared by Frrofi't John Hamilton, secretary of agricul ture of the state of Pennsylvania. It was decided at the Portland con vention also to have the chemists of all the state dairy and food depart ments get together at as early a date as possible for the purpose of adopt ing uniform standards of chemical pu rity required In the analysis of food products.

Ellen M. Stone, the missionary whose name has been a household word since the nation was wrought to a high pitch of indignation by the news of her capture by Bulgarian brigands, and for whose ransom appeals were made to the American nation for con tributions, told her story to a large audience at the Central Presbyterian church last night. The public is now largely familiar with the thrilling ex periences of Miss Stone through the papers and magazines, but her story as it fell from her lips last night was none the less interesting because por tions of it were already familiar to those who heard it. As told by the ransomed missionary it did not sound like a wonderfully thrilling story. She told it simply and directly, but with a spontaneity that had the genuine ring. Miss Stone is a rajther sweet-faced woman, with a soft voice and a kind ly smile, which bespeaks the gentle •disposition. In demeanor she is meek and humble, and *here is no boasting note in her speech. She regards her deliverance from the hands of the brigands as the direct act of God in an swer to faithful prayers, and this is the dominant note of her discourse, gratefulness to God for delivering His servant. Styry /pf Captivity. Miss Storiß gatfe a graphic recital of the way th« caurttves were treated by the brigands and how they suffered during their "sixrononths' captivity. She said that during the 172 nights she and her friend, sMrs.jfcaterina Stephanova Tsilka, had.been held as captives they had been compelled by the captors to travel most sof 'the nights in order to keep the hiding-places of the brigands as secret! Rhe also told in a graphic way how they had been attacked in the mountains by another band of highwaymen^ and the horrible night they spent whiTfc under the fire of the additional efcemy. After her' lecture a number of stereopticon vl§ws of the people of Macedonia arfd" 'their costumes were given. These "views also included a number of herself and companion, Mrs. Tsilka, with her baby, that was born while in captivity, and the costumes in which they spent the six months with the brigands who held them captives. After the lecture an informal recep tion was held in the church parlors for •Miss Stone, during which time she met a number of those who had listened to her lecture,' . Hardships Encountered. In speaking of the hardships endur ed""■.during her captivity she said in part: .. •'. ( ~ ■' ' I ';-; "■ : "We had no soap or toweis, comb or brush, norland of the indispensakles ckf;* life, save the*-clothes we stood in. We learned'life'Value of a tooth brush and of a button hook through our depriva tion 6f them for nearly six months. We learned, too, how few things one can manage to live when one must. That morning after our capture we procured watet* for our. face and hands, and borrowed a comb from one of our guards. Mrs. Tsilka had let down her hair and covered her head with a white handkerchief on the road before we were captured, and thus she wore it during our entire captivity. I contin ued to do mine up, as usual, though I adopted the handkerchief as a protec tion, My, djess had been torn during rthe night, and we had no neadlesand rthread, but one of the guards promptly supplied- us. The needle, a large one, of course, he took from the lining of his cap, and the coarse black thread from the knapsack which he carried upon his shoulders. Without a thimble I mended the rents in my garments, and sewed on the braid which had been ripped from my skirt In our hurried climb the nights before. Our guards occupied themselves in similar ways, and in drying th.eir wet feet. After' a time they:seemed, by common con sent, to go to sleep. We were sure that some were watching us then, as al ways, but no:on§' was in sight. It was a good time to n\it our money and a few valuables b?ore securely away, for we yet i expected to he plundered when it should suit the plans of the brigands. "Late in the afternoon some one brought us a chicken, only about half boile.d, and explained that we were to have had one.earlier, but that the shep herd who was t» cook it had boiled it with ten red ( hot peppers and oke (two and three -quarter pounds) of flour, making a dfSh wtiich none of the brig ands themselyes.could eat. Hence they had delayediuntii a second chicken could be boiled. Of course we thanked them, and when they commanded us to be ready J to start on our journey, and brought us a pair of goats-hair saddle-bags, we wrapped it up and put it with our other food, our Bible, tin box and shawl strap into the bags. Wearied With Travel. "Could these brigands have foreseen all the trials to their strength and pa tience which they were to endure dur ing the next six months,-with their cap tives, I wonder .whether they would not have released "us at once. On the first day they gave us no opportunity for more than a chance word with them. Finally the horses were started off, and w.e "began our climb, Mrs. Tsilka and her guard having quite a start of us. We climt>ea steadily, but were soon puffing and perspiring be cause of the steepness of the way. "If only Mrs. Tsilka would stop, for I must sit and resty' I said, but.she continued to climb, and 1 was forced to follow. Afterward she said that she was ready to drop from fatigue, but as her guard did not suggest a stop she feared to ask him, and he almost carried her. Finally we reached the horses, mounted and started on. our second night's journey. Now I noticed more clearly than I did the night' before that we never traveled by roads,-but always by mountain trails, or sheep or goat paths, or with no path at all. "If we saw a road anywhere and hop ed for an easier journey 6n it, we were here to be (gsarfjointed, .for the ad vance guard always crossed over and continued the journey through the un derbrush, w^ere their captives were often in imminent danger of Absalom's fate from tMfe o\«erhanging branches." Miss Stonefthen_related how thebrigr ands arranged fo,r the ransom to be paid, and h,o,w oti several occasions their death was p/anned, and they gave up hope, but t werj9 finally delivered. Money for Labor Day. Representatives, of the local labor unions will sjhortfy ask the council for an appropriation, for the purpose of furnishing additional illumination and decorations jcor Harriet island during rthe holding of their annual picnic on Labor day. Where the money is going to come from is not known just now, but a way of getting around the difficulty is being looked into. Money for Cyclone Sufferers. Citizens of Rochester have remitted to State Treasurer Julius Block $303 as a contribution to the fund for bene fit of the cyclone sufferers at Ulen, STREET CAR COMPANY SHORT OF LABORERS Scarcity of Men Is Also Felt by Build ing Contractors—St. Paul Full of Work. It hardly looks reasonable, but St. Paul is just now experiencing a labor famine. "Only temporary," the em ployers aay, yet they are unable to ex actly state when relief can be expect- Probably the extraordinary scarcity or laborers is most severely felt by the street car company, which now has in Its employ between 400 and 500 men engaged in improving its tracks throughout the city and laying the new, heavy rail wherever the streets are being paved. Their higgest crew is employed on South Robert street, and here the scarcity has been so marked that overtime has been neces sary to make any progress. Every la borer that comes along is ciuickly pick ed up, but even this floating element is a scarcity, and it has been found necessary to call upon the employment agencies for help. The street car com pany, on the Robert street job especial ly, is working two crews, one in the day and the other at night. The various contractors are also af fected by the famine, though not to the extent suffered by the street car com pany, and the various railroad com panies which are engaged in track construction and improvement work. Nearly all the building contractors carry men who are employed the year around, and in a manner they are in dependent, but it is when a crew of men is required for a week or a few days that the scarcity is felt. The employers say the scarcity is due to the large amount of building and construction work that is now be- ing done in St. Paul. Some of the im provements, such as the Rock Island terminals, the Great Northern shops, the Omaha shops and freight depots and the hundreds of small residence buildings, not to speak of some de cidedly large ones, have been giving employment to thousands of men steadily ever since the regular building season opened, and consequently the floating element is small. The street railway company has paid out this year more for reconstruc tion and improvement than at any time in its history. SMOOTH YOUNG MAN WORKS "GRAFTBUND" Purchasers of Tickets for "Truerbund" Concert Wait at Mozart Hall in Vain. What is the Truerbund Singing so ciety, and who are its members? is a question that a number of the resi dents of this city are now eagerly asking; and, as far as can be ascer tained, without satisfactory results. For some days past an individual of gentlemanly appearance has been in dustriously selling tickets at the price of 50 cents each, purporting to entitle the holder to admission to a "grand concert," to be given by the Truerbund Singing society at Mozart hall on the evening of July 22 at 8 p. m. About that hour last night a num ber of persons possessing the tickets presented themselves at Mozart hall, but found the doors locked and the hall dark. Inquiry at the saloon in the .basement of the building elicited the information that the hall had not been rented for that evening, and that the Truerbund Singing society was not known there, and had not secured the hall for a concert on any date. Learn ing this, the purchasers of the tickets could only conclude that perhaps the Truerbund was a myfh, and the gentle man who sold the tickets "needed the money," and had simply constituted himself a "graftbund." WANTS POSTMASTER TO FIND HER SISTER Woman in British Columbia Writes to Learn Whereabouts of Minnie Miller. When Postmaster McGill went over his mail yesterday afternoon he notic ed among other letters a tiny pink en velope, with the address, "Postmaster, St. Paul, Minn.," rudely penciled on it. The postmaster receives hundreds of letters every day similarly addressed, and he turns them over to a subordi nate, but somehow this little letter aroused his inquisitiveness and he was tempted to open it. The writing was scarcely legible, but he was able to make out the words. Greenwood, B. C, July 14, 1902.— Postmaster, St. Paul, Minn.: I have a few words to ask you if you will be so kind as to do it for me. I have a little sister in St. Paul, and I have not heard from her for four years. She is going to school, and if you would be kind as to put an ad in the papers asking the school teachers if they have a little girl by the name of Minnie Miller in their rooms. Then you can write and let me know what the bill is and I will send the money by return mail. And if there should be a girl by that name, you can tell them that there has been a lady writing for her, and then you can give them my name. My name is Louisa Miller, but it is now Louisa Massy since I have been married. I live at Greenwood, B. C. and I will thank you very much if you will take the trouble to look into this matter for me. And whatever it may cost, you may let me know, and I will send you a postoffice money order for the amount. I hope you will do that for me please, and I will pay you well for the trouble. Yours truly, —Mrs. Louise Massey. Greenwood, B. C. P. S. —Hope to hear from you soon. Of course Postmaster McGill did not know little Minnie Miller, but the ap peal of the unseen woman touched him strangely. Later he turned the letter over to Th cGI ob c, in hopes that by giving the case publicity the lost one might be returned to her relatives. Concert at Como.

The body of Anna Kreuzer, the young girl who committed suicide by jumping into the river off the wing dam opposite Indian Mounds park Sunday evening, was recovered by a fisherman early yesterday morning. The body was brought to the morgue, where it was identified by a brother and sister of the dead girl yesterday afternoon. The remains were taken to Winona for burial last night. What caused Anna Kreuzer to end her life will probably never be known. A. J. Kreuzer, her brother, said yester day that he had absolutely no idea as to what the motive may have been. A sister of the dead girl, who accom panied the brother, said to The Globe yesterday that she received a letter from her sister Sunday morning. The letter was a happy one, and Anna spoke of her contemplated visit to White Bear Sunday afternoon. All the circumstances surrounding the affair point strongly to a sudden determination on her part. Yesterday some more dress goods were delivered at the residence of Hermann Trott, where the dead girl was employed. The goods were purchased Saturday afternoon and were ordered to be de livered as soon as possible as she in tended to start making her new dresses this week. Determination Was Sudden. Where Miss Kreuzer was between 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon until shortly before 7 o'clock in the evening is not yet known, but It is almost certain that the motive for her deed arose during this time. There was no sign of any writing about her clothing, which was carefully exam ined! The bod 1" of the girl was found about 250 feet below the point where she en tered the water. The fisherman who brought her to the surface towed the body to thi shore, where it was guard ed until the arrival of Coroner Miller. The coroner found a dollar, a quarter, a dime and three nickels in her pocket book. COSSACKS OF THE CZAR WITH WILD WEST SHOW Buffalo Bill Has Famous Russian and Turkish Soldiers in His Historic Collection. One of the unique features of Buffalo Bill's Wild West is the display of horsemanship by the Don Cossacks, who belong to the army of the czar. It may look like surprising circus busi ness, but the Cossack mind regards it simply as a drill. The wild-looking fel lows stand up in their stirrups, stand on their saddles, stand on their shoul ders^ stand, on their heads—their horses going madly all the while—and whirl their swords until they look like buzz saws. Looking at them, one is re 7ninded of the query ascribed by Kip ling to the devil: "It's pretty, but is it art?" The Bedouin Arabs with Buffalo Bill's Wild West are ex-soldiers of the Turkish array. One only needs to see them in action a very short time to ap preciate Kipling's description of "Fuz zy-Wuzzy," who was of their sort, as "an injy-rubber devil on a spree," but ''a first-class fighting man." On horse- bark they made good all we have ever read of the mounted Bedouin's skill, but they are even more astonishing in their athletic exercises and gun-jug gling. Circus tumblers are tame in comparison with them, and theirs is evidently the school that has produced the surprisingly strong Turkish wrest lers. The spectator in the "Wild West en closure sees before him a wondrous curriculum of the horsemanship be longing to the entire world He is tak en to the undulating prairies beyond the mighty Missouri river up to the foothills and into the awe-inspiring canyons of the Rocky mountains. Then he passes to the sandy expanse of Al geria, next to the steppes of Russia and the mountain passes of the Cau casias. Before his mental vision ■ re covers the visitor finds himself in fancy under the avenue of the Lindens in Berlin as the silver-cuirassed im perial guard gallops past. Scarcely have the hoof beats died away when the cacti-strewn plains of Mexico or the grassy seas of the pampas come in view. Then the bugle sounds and as the Roosevelt rough riders raise the dust you see the hill of San Juan and know what kind of men they were who freed Cuba from the yoke of the Span iard. It is history in the concrete, hu man progress in the nutshell. Nothing like the Wild, West has ever been seen before and nothing like it can ever be produced hereafter.

INTERESTING TALKS AT SUMMER SCHOOL Rev. Brennan and Dr. Kerby Deliver Instructive Lectures—Today's Programme. At the Columbian Catholic Summer ■ school last evening Rev. Martin S Brennan delivered a highly interest- Ing and instructive lecture on 'Geo logical Ages," illustrated throughout with well produced stereoptkon views which proved of material assistant•»• to the audience in comprehending the lec ture. One of the particularly interest ing features of the lecture wai the scientific, but withal comprehensible discussion of volcanic eruptions, with data as to the notable eruption* of the past. The visiting members of the school were entertained yesterday afternoon at a reception at St. Paul's seminary, which was attended by Archbishop Ireland and Bishop Conaty, of the Catholic university at Washington. This morning at the summer school Dr. Kirby will lecture upon the topic of "Social Reform," and the reading circles will be conducted under the di rection of the representatives from Illinois. In the afternoon the visitors will be taken for a carriage drive about the city, starting from the capitol ;it 2 o'clock. The visiting members of the school will be entertained on Thursday aft ernoon at a reception at St. Joseph' 9 academy from 4 to 6 o'clock, and on Saturday they will be taken for a steamboat excursion from St. Paul to Stillwater, str/.ing at 9 a. m. and re turning by rail. At the morning session Dr. W. J. Kerby delivered the second lecture on '"Social Reform." He said that there were but two adequate agencies in the world today for reform. Socialism and Catholicism, and between these forces would be the contest of the fu ture. "There is urgent need of great and far-reaching reform in society. We are prone to neglect the man. Some other thing is made the center of so ciety. We must make man the center of society; equalize opportunity and protect it; place a premium on un selfishness and a penalty on selfish ness before the world will be right. "For this religion, government, law, public opinion and schools must co operate." Dr. Kerby argued that it was of lit tle avail to preach altruism in the churches when our industrial organiza tion is founded on egoism. In the pres ent industrial organization a penalty is placed on unselfishness and a pre mium on selfishness. While the churches teach meekness, the business world inculcates self-assertion. Man is one. society is one—its evils are finally simple in cause. Reform must be unified, systematic, compre hensive. But two agencies In modern society will meet the demands—Cathol icism and Socialism. The two are mu tually exclusive and historically antag onistic. They possess some points in common, revealed by a study and com parison of the two. DR. ADAMS TO LECTURE AT AUDITORIUM TONIGHT Public Programme for Benefit of Coli seum Fund. The lecture of Dr. Henry Austin Ad ams at the Auditorium this evening will be one of the notable events of the year. His subject is "American Man hood," and his fame as an orator and lecturer is established throughout this country and many others. The lecture is given for the benefit of the Colum bian Catholic Summer schools and the Coliseum fund. The lecture, which of itself will be a gem, will be supple mented by a fine musical programme, and nothing which has been preatMited to a St. Paul audience will afford < finer entertainment than the one to be given this evening at the Eighth street Auditorium. Partition of Polk County.
