MERE KIDS TO HIM Col. J. B. Cook Calls Two Ven erable Friends "Boys" Three men, whose combined ages aggregate -43 years, stood in front of the Ryan hotel desk yesterday and cut pigeon wings, bantered each other to run foot races and the oldest of the trio volunteered to do a song and da.nee turn just to show that, despite his years, he was "just as young as he used to be." Dr. David W. Lamb, of Lawrence, Mass., was a guest at the St. Paul ho tel yesterday, and in a conversation with Col. Frederick R. Welz, proprietor of the Ryan, a somewhat animated dis pute arose as to which was the older. The Massachusetts doctor presented a venerable appearance, but his claims to a superior age over that of Col. Welz were not accepted until the East ern man had produced a document showing that he is eighty years old. The best that Col. Webs could lay claim to was seventy-seven, and while the hotel man had agreed to pay the penalty of having been born at least three years too late by an adjournment to the buffet. Col. J. B. Cook, who has an office in the Ryan building, capered nimbly across the lobby. He was call ed in to give a reckoning of his age. "Why, you boys are mere 'kids' com pared to me," declared Col. Cook. "I was quite a lad, Dr. Lamb, when you first looked on the sand dunes of the bleak New England shore, and as for you, Col. Welz, I was quite a help to father when you first saw the light of day across the water. But while I am considerably older than either of you, I am younger in a way. I feel like running a foot race, or I will do a song and dance stunt to show that I am just as young as I ever was. A man ..is just as old as he feels, they say, and on that theory I am just in my prime." Col. Cook pleads guilty to being eighty-six, and in spite of his years he is one of the most active business meta of St. Paul, "being at his office almost every day, driving a fast horse to and from his office, and keeping an eye on a business that is one of the large in stitutions of the city.

TUESDAY, JUNE 21. 1904 WAITRESSES MUST GIVE UP POMPADOURS Sixth Street Restaurant Owner Declares Against the Popular Rat "Cut down the pompadours or quit your jobs." This is the decree of the proprietor of a popular restaurant on Sixth street to his fifty-five pretty waitresses and before the end of the week there is likely to be a half hundred vacan cies in the profession, if the order be comes effective. There was a conference yesterday at the restaurant and the general manager of the cafe declared to the girls that their pompadours must go. "No more rats," declared this ar biter of fashion. "All my girls must have their hair combed down flat and parted in the middle. Now this order is final and it's either cut out the pompadours or quit." And then the conference ended. Fifty-five girls looked at one an other and grinned. Then they left the general assembly room in the base ment of the restaurant for the cafe proper. It was just before supper time last evening that the manager delivered his important and revolu tionizing order. When the girls finally realized its import they were so daz zled that they became indignant. "Well, wouldn't it cause a girl to drop her tray?" asked Josie, one of the prettiest of the many good looking young women. "It's certainly the limit." was the response of one of the other girls. "I wonder what he knows about hair any way. Wants us to look like our grandmas. No pompadour; hair brushed down and parted in the mid dle; wouldn't I look like a pretty doll." Waitresses Threaten Strike "Not for me," chimed in another waitress. I gness it's up to me to quit, for I wouldn't part with my pompadour for all the jobs in St. Paul. Its one of my good features. Then my hat is made for a high head dress and I can't afford a new creation until Septem ber." And of the fifty-five girls ail but five or six are looking for new jobs, so loath are they to give up their styla of headdress. The patrons of the restaurant, too, are in sympathy with the indignant waitresses and a formal petition maj- be made to the proprietor of the cafe to allow the girls to con tinue to dress their hair in any style that best pleases them. But the proprietor seems determined. When seen last night he said: "It's just this way. The girls must cut down their pompadours or Til be required to raise the ceilings. I have seen the pompadour gradually grow higher, until it has finally become a disgraceful freak. "My stand is this. A waitress is a servant. She should be dressed neat and plain. I don't care what my girls do when not working, nor do I care what they wear or how they dress their hair, but when in my .restaurant they must conduct themselves as serv ants should. "Many of the girls now dress their hair as if they were going to a ball. This must cease. I have told the girls in a nice way that the pompadour must he cut out, and I think that they will comply with the rule. If they don't, I know where I can get waitresses who wilL" MAN LEAVES WOMAN COMPANION IN JAIL Pat Hussey Pays His Own Fine—May Watson Goes to Works Dislike of life in the workhouse over came Patrick Hussey's natural gallan try in police court yesterday, with the result that he paid his own fine of $25, and allowed Miss May Watson, who was arrested in his company, to go out for thirty days. When Judge Hine fined the couple $25 each, or thirty days, Hussey was evidently puzzled for a moment as to which course to pursue, but looking anywhere but in the direction of the woman he dug into his pockets, paid his fine, and went from the court room without leaving hope to his companion. Hussey told a bailiff that he would se cure the release of the woman if he could get the money. The couple were arrested for disor derly conduct. Hussey is a well known police character, but the woman is not known. OPENS BIDS FOR THE FORT KEOGH STABLES Miles City Lumber Company Offers to Erect Them f.»r $21,140 A second set of bids - was opened yesterday at the army building by Col. John McTE. Hyde, chief quartermaster of the department of Dakota, for building two stables at Fort Keogk. Mont. The first set of bids was lately rejected as too high. Great disparity appeared between the proposals opened yesterday. The Miles City Lumber • company offered to erect the two stables for $21,140, or for $10,570 each; Newman & Hoy,' St. Paul, would build them for $16,833 each, and George J.

Dr. Lyon's PERFECT Tooth Powder. AN ELEGANT TQILET LUXURY Used by people of refinement for over a quarter of a century PREPARED BY COUNH ESCAPES AN ELASTIC BILL 4 Board of Commissioners Must Know Cost Before Letting Contracts County Attorney Kane probably saved the county several thousand dollars yesterday when he dissuaded the county commissioners from enter ing into a contract with a White Bear company by declaring he would not draw such a contract as the one pro posed by the company, which some of the commissioners wanted to accept. The contract was one for furnishing power to pump a well which was sunk by the county to secure a water supply for White Bear lake. The White Bear Electric company had submitted a bid to furnish ten horsepower at a cost to the county of $200 per month. When the matter was brought to the attention of the board yesterday. Com missioner Wright thought it should be accepted, but there was considerable opposition from other members. The commissioners have understood that the company would agree to pump the well at its capacity for this sum, and were not willing to limit the power to ten horse. Above this amount of power the company wanted $15 per month for each additional horsepower, and County Attorney Kane said the county had no right to make such a contract, not know ing what the service would cost? Company to Compromise The White "Bear Electric company refused to compromise the matter, and when the members of the board suggested that jthe contract might go elsewhere it was made plain to them that no one-: else could furnish the power, since the county board, at a previous meeting, had given this com pany a monopoly on the contract by insisting that nothing but electric power be used. Then, to help mattei-s along, Mr. Jphn«on,.who was awarded the contract for equipping the well with motor and ojther necessary appliances, said the motor had been ordered, and that it was of such a make that only the White Bear Electric company could furnish power to run it. Some of the members began asking what sort of a hole the board had got itself into, and there was considerable dissatisfaction expressed at the pre dicament in which the commissioners found themselves. It was finally agreed that the well Should be tested, in order that it may be determined just how much power is needed to pump the welt, it being understood that the coun ty pay half the cost of the expense. Bids for improvements Opened Bids were opened for the permanent improvement of Arcade, street and the St. Paul and Bald Eagle road, which is to be made one of the best in the state. - Three firms bid on the work, all of , the figures being considered high by the commissioners. . The ' lowest bid for the job was 119,200 for macadam and $10,400 for gravel. The highest was .$21,000 for macadam and $14,000 for gravel. The road is a two and a quarter miles in length. - The bids were finally ordered Sent fo the county sur yeyomfor.ftat»ulatjk)iT;> f'l i, >^ v•,. sr, | The boa*d e iif tof^Tiitef Blear In the afjterrip<!9 with representatives of the street railway company, where they looked over the ground of the proposed right of way for, the company's new line jTjmt White j Bear village to con nect with the Stillwater line, a fran chise which = the company is now seeking at the hands of the board.

Hynes was ar rested on complaint of Ed Jackson, who informed Gross- that he had seen Hynes ' accept the money from the woman. The woman was looking for an ex pressman at the Cedar street stand and Hynes represented to her that he was the driver of a wagon near which he. stood.

Hynes then pocketed the money and left the stand. He was arrested shortly after by Gross. LIGHTNING STRIKES A FREIGHT HOUSE Bolt Shoots Through That of Rock Island, but No One Is Hurt The Rock Island freight house, on the West side, was struck by lightning dur ing a storm yesterday morning at 6:2© o'clock, and serious damage might have been caused had the building not been practically fireproof. The bolt struck the freight house on the east side near the top, tearing out a few square feet of stone cornice work, and shot through the building, starting, a fire in the west end under the office. The flre was quickly brought under control by Henry Pierce and Patrick Bell, watchmen, and when the fire de partment arrived the blaze had been nearly extinguished. J. W. Lawhead, local freight agent, said that the onlj serious damage caused by the lightning was to the electric wiring in the build ing. The elevators, which are operated by electricity, were crippled, and the telephone and telegraph wires were put out of order. A Stryker avenue street car was struck by a bolt of lightning about th« same time while running on South Wa basha street; The motors of the car were burned out and the woodwork caught fire, but the Maze was quickly extinguished.

STREETS FINE THE SPEEDERS Nine Auto Owners and 3 Motor Cyclists Pay $10 Apiece Ten owners of automobiles and five riders of motor cycles were in police court yesterday, oi whom twelve en tered pleas of guilty and three had their cases continued until today. John M. Knutson, Pioneer Press building, was the only one of the auto drivers who asked for a trial, which will be given him. E- Hilderbrand, ar rested and accused of having exceeded the speed limit while on a motor cycle, asserted that .he did nothing of the kind, not having owned or ridden such a machine. Albert Haupt admitted that he habitually used a motor cycle, but did not believe that he had exceeded eight miles an hour. The cases will be tried before Judge Hine. Of the twelve who entered pleas of guilty, all but one was assessed $10. L. A. Wood was fined $20, there being two charges against him of speeding his automobile last Thursday. Mr. W6od was disposed to contest the case, but on the advice of his attorney, Gustave Scholle, he followed the example of the other prisoners and*"admitted his guilt, It having been agreed that a $10 fine on each charge would be imposed where no fight was made. The automobile drivers who pleaded guilty and paid $10 each were: Charles Koester, 712 Pioneer Press building; F. Joswlch, 184 Western avenue; B. A. Ledy, 643 Endicott building; H. E. Hunt, 496 Endicott arcade; Elmer N. Ray. 424 Wabasha street; L. T. Dow, 154 East Third street; Allen McQuillan, 53 Gitfillan block, and T. Borg, 372 St. Peter street- The motor cycle riders who paid the same amount: F. M. Clark, 438 Laurel avenue; W. V. Bal com, 110 Dispatch building, and G. R. McMichael, 301 Drake block. This is the beginning of the crusade against speeding which has been prom ised by Chief of Police O'Connor, there now being warrants out against W. S. Meyers and D. H. Ogden, who are ac cused of exceeding the speed limit. The officers continue, under instruc tions, to take the numbers of all auto mobiles and motor cycles exceeding the legal eight miles an hour and have the owners arrested. If further arrests are necessary the police department will ask that the fine be increased from $10 to $25 for each offense. The observations will also be taken on the suburban streets, where it is claimed that the auto drivers are les. particular than they are in the thickly settled portion of the city, where the offenders yesterday before the court were accused of violating" the speed law. SUPREME COURT ADMITS BIG CLASS The members of the graduating class of the St. Paul College of Law, twenty-nine in number, were formally admitted to practice in all the courts of the state by the supreme court yes terday.

Start, acting for the court. MUSIC MUST BE FREE Park Board Refuses to Change Present Policy at Como President Wheelock's suggestion at the meeting of the board of park com missioners yesterday that the needed new pavilion at Como park might be secured by charging admission to the concerts was not approved by other members of the board present. In advancing the idea Mr. Wheelock said that the plan had been in force in Minneapolis for some years, and although he was nominally opposed to reversing the previous policy of St. Paul of giving free concerts, it was. nevertheless, true that money for the proposed new building must be raised in some manner. Commissioner Aberle said that "the people would much prefer to vote bonds for the erection of a pavilion than to have a charge made for seats at con certs. Just think of the poor man who takes his wife and five or six children to the park and is asked to pay 25 cents each to hear the concert. I do not be lieve that would be right." "We should not change the present policy," declared Commissioner Top ping. "It will surely be possible to se cure the needed money in some other manner."'. Supt. Nussbaumer estimated that it will cost $30,000 to build the pavilion. AN AMERICAN PRODUCT Scores Another Great Victory in Ger many Prof. Dr. Lintner. Director of the "Sci entific Station for the Brewing Industry of Bavaria at Munich." upon analyzing "Pilsner Urquell."' the beers of the "Buergerliches Brauhaus" of Pilsen. Bo hemia, and "Anheuser-Buseh's Budwei ser," under date of May 17, 1904. makes the following statement sworn to before Dr. Pundter. Royal Notary, and verified by Hon. James H. Worman, U. S. Consul General at Munich. Bavaria: "Upon subjecting the several beers to a careful analysis I find that the *Bud weiser Beer,' submitted by the Anheuser- Busch Brewing Ass'-n. St. Louis. T*. S. A... is very similar, in all its characteris tics, to the finest and best Pilsener beers. It is effervescent, clear and sparkling, has a beautiful creamy foam and is possessed of a pure, wholesome taste and an ex quisite hop flavor. Its keeping qualities by far exceed those of the Pilsener beers, resulting from the use of the very best ma terials In brewing, and the thorough ma turity of the product.
