Ttelena, Mont., March 13. —To show their displeasure over the abolition of the army canteen, seven of Uncle Saain's boys from Fort Harrison came to town last night and tried to run ihe municipality. As a result of a riot on Main street, six badly battered and bruist-d soldiers are in limbo at the police station. For three hours after their ar rest they kept up a rough house at the station and came very near demolishing the old building. They tore the blankets into shreds, made scrap iron out of the old stoves, demolished the beds and made to much noise that no one in the neigh borhood could sleep. Sergeant Flannery and Chief Travis, after repeatedly warning the soldiers to desist from their depredations, sailed in with their billies and made a charge that sent the brawlers in all directions. Before the soldiers were arrested they took possession of a street car, and it is claimed they held up the motorman and threw sticks and bricks through the win dows, terrifying women passengers. At the station they gave their names as Short. Coleman, Williams, Johnson, Tricker, Garrett and Tojso. The conductor claims he was robbed of $15.

HEAVY DAMAGES ASKED Two Important Suits Filed at Hel ena. Against the Mont. Central. Special to The Journal. Helena, Mont., March 13.—Two large dem age suits have been commenced iv the dis trict and United States courts here against the Montana Central railway. William Schultz, who lost his leg and arm while working as a brakeman at Clancy, fifteen miles south of Helena, in June last, seeks $40,<R)0 damages. According to his complaint filed in the federal court he was making a coupling when his shoe caught between the guard rail and main track and he was un able to get out of the way of a train, which backed over him. He alleges negligence on the part of the company because the usual block was not between the guard rail and the main rail. The plaintiff lives in Minne sota. James McCabe, a switchman, injured last fall, asks for $20,000 in the state court. He vas boarding a switch engine when struck by a switch stand which he claims was too close to the track, and knocked under the wheels. He lost a leg.

OLD PLANT UTILIZED Minneapolis Harvester Buildings to Be Improved to Suit Tenants. MINNESOTA MALLEABLE IRON CO. . ■ -\ v ; It Owiin the Pro|ierty,,aud Already Han a L.nrj4e Force of Men . , ; = at Work. The old Minneapolis Harvester plant, comprising some ten or twelve acres of ground adjoining the Milwaukee shops in Minneapolis, is being furnished up for the inspection of prospective tenants. ' L. S. Gillette, president of the Minnesota Mal leable Iron company which owns the prop erty, has a small army of men at work putting the buildings in repair and making them desirable quarters for firms desiring storage and trackage facilities. The prop erty is bounded by Miunebaha avenue, Lake street and the Milwaukee tracks, and is Uttle more than two miles from the heart of the business district. Mr. Gillette has modestly kept his plans to himself while getting ready to improve the property, a portion of which is now teased by the Peering Harvester company and the McCormlck Harvester company. The letter has just secured a location in one of the buildings. The McCormick Harvester people were burned out a few days ago, and the establishment of their headquarters on Mr. Gillette's tract will give an impetus to the owners' plans in connection with the property. Mr. Gillette was reluctant to discuss his plans this morning, but admitted that the property was to be improved. "The owners are willing to put up suitable buildings or make adequate improvements to meet the requirements of tenants," said Mr. Gillette, "while preparing for com prehensive railway storage facilities." As to the purchase of the South Minne apolis property by the Malleable Iron peo ple in April, 1900. Mr. Gillette said: ''This property was purchased with a possible view to utilizing it for a malleable iron works plant in case a satisfactory lease could not be made with the Grass Twine company, purchasers of the Walter A. Wood plant at Hazel Park, St. Paul. Our company, however, has made arrange ments with the grass twine company, which are so satisfactory that we will probably remain as tenants of Hazel Park, where we are now operating the Grey Iron foundry. This branch was started up on Monday of this week to build harvester parts for the Grass Twine company which is now manufacturing the famous old 'Minnie' harvesters that were formerly built by the Morrisons in South Minne apolis." Mr. Gillette's statement clarifies the air regarding the plans of the Malleable Iron company, and shows the uses to which the company is willing to put its valuable property in South Minneapolis. The com pany will spend money for buildings and other improvements, as Mr. Gillette says, as fast as they are required by tenants. HIT THE OIL SHALE Good Petroleum Pumped From a Well Near Evanston, Wyo. WEALTH IS AWAITING BORERS Indication* of Oil Found to Ex ' ; tend a Distance of For ty Miles. Special to The Journal. Evanston, Wyo., March 13.—For many years it has been known that oil existed in the vicinity of Evanston, in Uinta county, and efforts were made some twen ty years ago to find the product in paying quantities. The Evanston Oil company, a local corporation, spent a few thousand dollars in prospecting between Evanston and Hilliard at a distance of about ten miles southeast from this place, where natural oil springs show the presence of crude petroleum in the rocks in that vi cinity. The company met with very in different success because of the improper machinery and inexperienced operators, who attempted to do the drilling for them, and after drilling to a depth of about 400 feet, abandoned their project. Near Pioneer Hollow, at a distance of about twelve miles east from Evanston and north of the oil springs above spoken of. the Carter people, prominent ranch men at Fort Bridger, prospected and found some oil, but like the Evanston company, their work was in the hands of inexperienced men and resulted in no practical good as to the development of the oil resources of this county. Still farther to the north along the same belt oil springs are found, indicating the pres ence of oil for a distance of more than forty miles in this county. Within the last six months at Pioneer Hollow, or Spring valley, where the Union Pacific Railroad company has> been open ing up a new series of coal mines, that company drilled a well for the purpose of procuring water for the use of the coal camp. Their search for good water was fruitless, but what is and will probably prove to be very much more valuable for the interests of this county, they were successful in striking the oil shale, and the well, without a shot being put into it, has been producing oil ever since. The well was pumped this week and twenty barrels of very fine green oil was the result of the day's work. This oil has every appearance of being a fine t quality of refining oil, and while The Journal correspondent has not seen any analysis, his observations of some years in the oil regions of Pennsylvania lead him to believe that the oil is of such quality as will prove this to be one of the best oil fields opened up in recent years. Within the past few days persons from California, said to represent large capi tal interests, have come into the locality, and certain Utah men have also appeared on the scene, and the county recorder's office is besieged with persons applying to file placer locations. While some of the people who are locat ing claims in the vicinity may be doing so purely for speculative purposes, there is no question after making a candid ex amination of the conditions, but that there is a large oil field running northerly through this county just east of Evans ton and that no doubt exists in the minds of competent geologists that a systematic exploration of that field will result in riches undreamed of by the cattle and sheepmen whose round-ups and herds have had full sway for a quarter of a cen tury. CAN'T FIND THE CASHIER President Lacey at Mies Will Not Oeny a Shortage. Niles, Mich., March 13.—C. A. Johnson, cashier of the First National bank, is still missing. Director Stevens has re turned from Chicago, but could not find Johnson. President Lacey admits the di rectors do not know Johnson's where abouts.

WAS IST LIBRARIAN Thomas Hale Williams' Good Work for Minneapolis, SERVED 20 YEARS WITHOUT PAY lie (unit* Hi M iit ii«-ii{>i)l In From I'i-ov itlciiiM'—Suu'K<*Ntfil til** \titiouul • Meet IMR at l.i Im-h riuiii*. Thomas Hale Williams, who died Sat urday afternoon ai the age of 87, was one of the most interesting characters among the early set tiers of Minneapolis. He took a leading part in founding the Minne apolis public library system through liis share in the inception of the old Athanae uin in 1869. At the first meeting of the then new library association, he was ap pointed librarian. Together with the filling of such library offices as treasurer and director, he was the librarian for twenty jears. acting always without charge and for the pure love of the work. He resigned in 1880. Mr. Williams came to Minneapolis in 1856. From 1864 to 1867 he was a mem ber of the board of supervisors which gov erned the city for three years preceding the establishment of city (■barter govern ment. During the last years of his serene old age Mr. Wiliams found much pleasure in the remarkable system of scrap books and I diaries which he began to keep in 1827. I These were kept end preserved with the most scrupulous order and care, and con stitute a valuable contemporaneous his tory of many phases of life in America during the last sixty-five years. His pre served correspondence extending over the same period is full of interest. Mr. Williams was a printer by trade, learning how to use type as an apprentice in old New Bedford. ll* began this ap prenticeship in 1827. Ten years later he went to the extreme jvest, Alton, 111., where he was when Lovejoy the abolition ist was killed and his printing office sacked. Mr. Williams' memory, assisted and refreshed by his valuable collections, enabled him to the last to talk most en tertainingly of the crude old times when the Mississippi Valley was the frontier, when the country was full of gamblers, desperadoes and strife. He delighted to show his collection to such visitors as happened in at the little cottage on the Cedar Lake road. Before going to Minneapolis in the early fifties, Mr. Williams had charge of the Providence Athenaeum for a number of years. It was there that he gained the intimate knowledge of books and the familiarity with library organization and management, which he brougtit to bear so efficiently in the founding of the athe naeum. The Athenaeum Funned. In 1859 Bayard Taylor offered to lec ture before any literary society in Min neapolis that desired it, the proceeds de ducting expenses, to go to the benefit of the society. As there was no such so ciety in existence at that time, a num ber of young men formed what they called the Young Men's Literary Association of Minneapolis, and invited Bayard Taylor to lecture before them. The invitatfion was accepted, and as a result of the lec ture the association received $83.50. With this modest beginning, the society began the formation of a library which now uumbers 45,000 volumes and is constantly growing. Mr. Williams' book store, rent free, housed the library- for eight years. In 1860 the association was incorporated under the general laws of the state, as •the Minneapolis Athenaeum. Mr. Wil liams drafted the charter, using as his model the Providence Athenaeum charter. The constitution of the Athenaeum, adopted July 8, 1859, appears in the sec retary's record of the society in Mr. Wil liams' handwriting, accompanied by the original signatures of the charter mem bers. It may be of interest to mention that the names of a few men are found here, prominent in Minneapolis to-day, as for instance, W. D. Washburn. J. E. Bell, C. H. Pettit, S. C. Gale. George A. Brack ett, D. C. Bell and A. D. Bailsman. There is no doubt that the library was enabled to tide over the critical period preceding the endowment of the Athena eum, largely as a result of the constant and fostering care of the librarian. In 1865 Mr. Williams was offered a lot on Hennepin avenue just below Washington for $1,500. Such a sum of money was not in the treasury of the society, but Mr. Williams on his own responsibility cir culated a paper and received subscriptions sufficient to buy the lot and erect the building which the Athenaeum continued to occupy until its removal to the Public Library building in 1889. Friend of Dr. Spencer. In its early days, Dr. Kirby Spencer was a frequent visitor to the library and be came a warm friend of Mr. Williams. It is not an unnatural inference that the librarian had some influence in determin ing Dr. Spencer to leave his estate to the Athenaeum. It is therefore peculiarly fitting that his portrait is hung beside that of Dr. Spencer in the directors' room of the public library, and it is hoped that his name will ever be held in grateful re membrance in conection with the name of our benefactor. It is interesting to know that it was at his suggestion that the librarians of the United States first met together in Phil adelphia at the Centennial exhibition of 1876, and formed the American Library- Association, which has grown to be one of the most Influential and effective educa^ tional organizations in the country. The directors of the Minneapolis Athe naeum held a special meeting yester day to take action on the death of Mr. Williams, and passed the following reso lution: Athenaeum Resolutions. Resolved, That the directors of the Minne apolis Athenaeum do hereby express their sincere regret at the death of Thomas Hale Williams, and their hearty appreciation of his invaluable services rendered the Athenaeum in the early days of the association. As one of the founders of the institution and its first librarian, he directed the growth of the library from its inception in 1559 to his resignation as librarian iv 1880. During the thirteen years of struggle preceding the Spen cer bequest, the continued existence and steady growth of the library were the result largely of his earnest, persistent and unself ish efforts. The directors realize that to him is due in great meaeure the very existence of the library, and that without the foundation laid during his twenty years' librarianship, the Athenaeum could not be what it is to day. It is the desire of the directors to extend to the family, not only this token of their appre ciation of his work', but in addition their sin cerest sympathy in their bereavement. MAW WEIJLS TO BE SI NX Country Tributary to Pierre Is Tak- ing; the Initiative. Special to The Journal. Pierre, S. D., March 13.—At the spring election in the town of Onida, the county seat of Sully county, it was unanimously voted to issue bonds for the purpose of sinking an artesian well. Indications now are that there will be at least five flowing wells in the country north of this city before the close of the present year. Work is now in progress on the first well in Pearl township, and two wells will be sunk in that town before the work is stopped. The next one will probably be on the Wadleigh ranch, twelve miles north of this city, and the next at Onida. Several ranchmen in western Sully county are making estimates, and since the cost has been reduced to less than $2,000 by the new processes, the question is not so hard a one to handle as it was in the past when $5,000 was the lowest figure for a good well. Buying Western Minnesota Farm«. Special to The Journal. Breckenridge, Minn., March 13.—Farmers, with their effects, are arriving every day from lowa and southern Minnesota, aud are moving on farms recently bought.—Mrs. Ly man B. Everdeel, wife of Lawyer Everdeel, died to-day of heart disease. She was about 50 yeare old. She was a sister of E. G. Val entine of this place. She will be buried at Rlpon, Wis., where her mother, father and a child are buried. COMPO BOARDS BURN Hot Blaze in the C. A. Smith Plant at Camden Place. THREE FIREMEN ARE INJURED Falling- Flour Carrie*- Them Down, but They Are Heneued by ' ♦ 'omrmleti. A serious fire broke out at 11:45 o'clock | yesterday in the Compoboard • factory which forms a part of the plant of the i C. A. Smith Lumber company, Forty- 1: fourth avenue N and Lyndale, and before ' the flames were under control, at 3- p. m, a loss of from $20;000 to $25,000 had ; I been sustained. For a time it looked as though the entire-C. A. Smith plant might I go,-which would have entailed a loss in ! the neighborhood of $75,000. The insur- j ance on the burned portion was $34,000. , The fire started in the dry kiln, but no one has any information as to just how it started, it spread rapidly and made it necessary to call out all of that part of the fire department available for that ; 1 portion of the city. . Five 1' firemen on the third floor of the I ' building had a narrow escape for their ! lives. The floor gave way threatening to carry the men with it into the flames be- i low. Two of the men saved themselvea ! by catching hold of window sills and drawing themselves out of danger. The ! other three went down with' the floor. - " Their comrades in places of safety see- ) ing their imminent danger, lowered lad- \ ders and succeeded in rescuing them be- \ fore they had suffered serious injuries, j though one of the men was badly bruised 1 and battered by the fall. The insurance was carried by a the fol lowing companies: A. L. Belknap com- I pany, B. W. Sexton & Co., P. D. McMil lan & Co., Christian & Wagner. By 3 p. m. the fire was under control. « The wind was fortunately favorable to the firemen, blowing.the blaze from the piles of lumber and .confining the fire to the factory. COMMUNICATION OPENED Progress In Being; Made in Repair- j in« I,i lies. The telegraph companies are making some progress in restoring the wires which were downed between Minneapolis and Chicago by ! the sleet storm of Sunday. The Western | Union has two more lines than were reported i yesterday, but, being temporarily re paired j they do not give the best of satisiacuon. However, the situation is brighter. The North American has five lines working, but they have to "quad" everything. Transmis sion is occasionally interrupted by the line men, but about all the buiness offered is being handled. The Chamber of Commerce was furnished with a line to-day, not quite so good as its own wire, but satisfactory. As soon as the 'floor" closed there was an additional wire for other business. A Hue j is also furnished to the G»eat Western peo ple, who haven't a single wire to Chicago yet. As a few wires are added each day, the situation with both telegraph companies will i soon be normal. Bach ' company has been 1 very accommodating to those in trouble with their wires, and this has made the situation easier for all concerned. ONE HOUR SAVED Sew Method of Routing; Milwaukee Trains From Chicago, A Chicago special says: The Milwaukee management is said to be arranging an important change in the routing of its fast trains out of Chicago. Its plan calls for most if not all through trains to be operated by way of the Fox Lake-Jaynes ville line, which now is undergoing the finishing touches or reconstruction, instead of by way of Western Union Junction, as at present. Under existing conditions the Milwaukee cover the distance be tween Chicago and Delevan, Wls., 100 miles in about three hours. By running the trains by way of Fox Lake the time can be reduced almost an hour, the dis tance being about thirty miles less. COMMISSION MEN PROTEST They Don't Like n Bill of Repreaen- tative Hiiliuond 's. The delegation of commission men from the South St. Paul stockyards appeared yester day before the bouse committee on agri culture to protest agains.t the Hlllmond bill, which places them under the control of the railroad and warehouse (ornmittee. W. M. Campbel'., as spokesman, dwelt at length on the importance of the live stock industry to the state, and said the state should do all it could to encourage its home market instead of imposing restrictions. He said the Hill mond bill was far le^s dangerous to the busi ness than the meat inspection bill, which would put the commission men out of busi ness if it passed. NO SCHOOL FOR CASS LAKE Town Ih Out of the District and Board Withdraws Support. Special to The Journal. Cass Lake, Minn., March 13.—A1l the Cass Lake schools have closed, and the Cass county school board will maintain no more schools here. The board has juris diction over the entire county, but the village of Cass Lake, having been or ganized since the organization act, is not in the district, and therefore not entitled to a school. A petition is being prepared to organize an independent district for Cass Lake, but this cannot be put through until next fall. In the meantime the village will be without schools, with the exception of one or two private enter prises. A team belonging to the Scanlon-Gip son Lumber company ran away yesterday and one of the hordes sustained a broken leg and was shot.—The members of the local Catholic congregation will give a grand St. Patrick's entertainment on Sat urday evening. A program has been pre pared, and Rev. Father Murphy, who has charge of the Bemidji and Cass Lake parishes, will deliver the principal ad dress.—C. A. "Weyerhaueser of Little Falls and T. L. Hatcher and W. H. Laird of Winona have been in Cass Lake for several days for the purpose of purchas ing logs cut under the "dead and down" act. RABBI HIRSCH COMING Famous Clergyman to Lecture on •John Ruskin. The next lecture in the Teachers* Club course will be by Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch, and it is anticipated as one of the most pleasing and valuable of a notable series. The lecture will be given at the Lyceum theater, Wednes day evening, March JO, on "John Ruskin—a Modern Prophet." The eminent Chicago di vine, scholar and publicist won the highest favor in the course last year, and the desire for his return was universal. Rabbi Hirsch's training and career have especially fitted him to appreciate Ruskin both as a writer and a reformer, as the lec turer is a scholar of rare knowledge and dis crimination and at the same time a man fully alive to all the needs of the human race, especially as shown in the conditions of a great city. He i 8 a man of great influence and power in Chicago, where his abilities are fully appreciated by his congregation, one of the greatest Jewish organizations of the coun try, and by the community. He takes an act ive part in public affairs and is one of the chief orators called upon on public and espe cially patriotic occasions. ISTHMIAN CANAL CONGRESS Suggestion of an International Meeting at Waahinjartoii. Washington, March 13.—A suggestion has been made that an international congress be held at Washington on the Isthmian canal. Out of such a congress grew the Suez con vention. There is reason to believe that the project would be favored by several of the European maritime powers. HARD ON PAPA. Moonshine.

BOY The Philippine War Will Not Out- j last the . Present Year—A Rich Country. Sergeant McDonald of Company I, Thir- : j teenth Minnesota, more recently of the -seventh, regiment of United States • Volunteers just mustered out, has returned to Mincnapolis and is already back at bis old place. in A. Matheson's tailor shop. It will be three years in April since Mr. Me- i Donald left for Manila. When the Min nesota regiment left the Philippines for! mustering out he remained and re-en- ■ listed. He has had enough of army life, • and although satisfied with the climate in the Philippines he will never return as a soldier. -TipESfl jw^jjjjj Mr. McDonald thinks that within a year or so the islands will offer great oppor tunities for profitable investment. He j campaigned through the mahogany coun- j try for five days under General Hall and was much impressed with the lumber re sources of the islands. Some of the- Colo- j rado soldiers found gold quartz within I thirty-five miles of Manila. There are many other natural advantages which will be seized upon by the Americans who are j going over on every transport. Machinery Going; In. All sorts of machinery are being sent over to be used in developing the coun try as son as the insurrection is ended. Mr. McDonald thinks that will be before the end of the year. The trouble is kept up by those natives who are ignorant and do not understand the Americans. But the United States troops are after them so hot and give them so little rest that they will have to capitulate soon. General ' Cailles is regarded by them as a god, and they believe everything that he tells them. He is one of the cleverest of the rebel gen rals. He is part French and part Tagalog. I He fought the battle of Maratact in which twenty-two Americans were wounded and twenty-three killed. The fact that the ( Filipinos sent in the dead after the Amer- | icans had refused the offer to pick them up , thinking that it was only a trap, shows the advancement of the natives in the knowl- ; edge 1 of the amenities of war. Mr. Mc- Donald thinks that there is no doubt that Agulnaldo is in the north line somewhere expecting to receive offers to . sell out from the Americans as he used to from the Spanish. ' The campaign in the mountains kept McDonald's regiment away from Manila a year and seven months, and he scarce ly recognized the city on his return. It had changed wonderfully for the better. There were new buildings going up, .and even the natives were repairing and put ting up new buildings. The Filipinos were catching the American ways, and showed a disposition to clean .up their property and to paint the buildings. There are plans on foot for the extension of the railroad around the lake past the waterworks and up the Mariniqua valley, which will aid in the development of the natural resources of the country. . Natives Keep Their Oath. The natives who swear allegiance to Uncle Sam, says Mr. McDonald, return to their agricultural pursuits, and, as a rule, live up to their oath. Occasionally some of them get foolish and return to the in surgent army, but when they are caught they are at once deported to Guam. • The soldiers who go on the campaigns against the natives march sometimes sev eral days before they see any of the rebels. The marching in the mountains is not pleasant work, especially in the wet season when the soldiers are exposed to the cold rains. A good deal of the sickness among the soldiers is caused by the tendency to overeat fruits and to drink the Chino whisky.
