Pawnbroker Inspector Price, in his report for June, shows that during that month $4,107 of the $5,319.25, or 86 per cent of stolen property reported was recovered. Police officers on day duty were last night ordered to work until midnight on Wednes day and Thursday, and night men will also put in extra hours until after the Fourth. Special Police Officer McGuire, of whose conduct several complaints have recently been m«de, has been temporarily ousted from the force by Mayor Ames, pending investiga tion. John Howard, the lad yho was struck by a falling tent pole in the wild west show during the storm, and who suffered a painful fract ure of the skull, is recovering rapidly and will soon be able to leave the city hispltal. Mayor Ames announced yesterday the ap pointment of Patrolman Levi Gorman as dog catcher. Sergeant Patrick Quealy was pro moted to be lieutenant and Lieutenant James Hanklnson was Bent from the second precinct to the headquarters' detective detail. The water works committee of the council considered yesterday the bids for pumps sub mitted at th 2 last meeting of the council. The various representatives were heard'regarding the merits of their pumps and then the city engineer was instructed to prepare an expert report on the bids. A telegram from a man named Schultz. Woodruff, Wls., says that the man found dead near Osseo a few days ago was John Rouck, who had worked in Woodruff. The body is still at Craig's undertaking rooms, and will be buried in the potter's field this afternoon unless called for. The destruction of the Gavin barn, which will give place to the new Lowry building at 247 First avenue S, was begun yesterday. It is one of the oldest landmarks in the cen tral part of the city, having been erected thirty years ago. The Gavlna are building in the Lowry Hill district. Harry Wagner, arrested in St. Paul a few days ago, has admitted having forged checks to the amount of about $10,000 in various towns in Wisconsin.

Severance of St. Paul appeared before the tax commission yesterday on behalf of the express companies, asking the commission, in their revision of the tax laws, to abate the 6 per cent gross earnings tax imposed by the legislature last winter. He said that the act was passed without proper hearing or deliberation. He made an elaborate argument for the continuance of the gross earnings tax as against any other form, on account of its equity, con venience and cheapness of collection. Mr. Severance appeared for the United States Express company, with Edward S. Averlll of Chicago, general manager, and €. W. Stockton of Chicago, assistant gen eral superintendent of the Wellß-Fargo company. FULL OF "HOBROWS" "The Great llread Trust," a Nov- elette by W. H. Wright. HE ONCE "COVERED A RUN" HERE Since Eeavlnjt Minneapolis He Ap ;.; pear* to Have Had a Most . Eventful Career. .• "The Great Bread Trust" is the title of a vest pocket purpose-novel just from the Abbey Press, New York, London and Montreal. The title page reveals the fact that W. H. Wright is the author and a biographical note by the publishers In dicates that Mr. Wright has had, since leaving Minneapolis, a career more meteoric than even his ardent admirers would ever have dared predict. It was juet eleven years ago that "Will" Wright left Minneapolis, where he had been em ployed on various of the daily papers. According to the publishers' biographical note, "he went abroad for a newspaper syndicate and met the late philanthropist, Baron Hirsch. and at his suggestion made, unaccompanied, a voyage by canoe down the river Volga, skirting the Caspian sea and later explored the Caucasus. Return ing to London he published there in rapid succession three volumes, two of travel and one of fiction, all of which met with success. He has a wide acquaintance of public men, numbering among them Sir Edwin Arnold, Count Leo Tolstoy, Henrik Ibsen, Henry M. Stanley, Grover Cleve land, Benjamin Harrison, William Mc- Kinley, Lord Aberdeen, Eugene Debs, James "Whitcomb Rlley, and Li Hung Chang. He was one of the few Ameri cans to meet Lord Tennyson;, was re ceived at Hawarden by W. E. Gladstone and was the last newspaper writer to in terview Charles Stewart Parnell." As -for "The Great Bread Trust," fifty four pages on which the reading matter occupies a space 2x3% inches, are suffi cient to tell the story. it deals with a Napoleon of finance, a combination hero vlllaln who laughs in a sharp, short, stac atto "ha-ha-ha" as the plot thickens. The heroine Is a mere convenience of author ship, a sort of a necessary conventionali ty, who appears on one page, murmurs "Bread is very high," and then disappears. In the end, the head of the bread trust, DeWolf Pilcher, absolutely corners the bread market of the world, and puts an extremely high premium on the gratifica tion of hunger. It does not appear from the book what the sausage makers were doing all the time that the head "truster" was corner ing the farinaceous market. It is to be assumed, however, that the bread trust operated exclusively in a vegetarian coun try. Viewed as a pure bit of pipe dreaming, the story may suffice to while away a tedious half day on the Kenwood car line, as witness this red fire finish: Famine swept the land. The fields lay un tilled, because there was no seed to sprinkle in the furrows. The great Bread Trust ruled supreme. DeWolf Pilcher was the most powerful man in the world. Kings sent f their emissaries, congress her most able statesmen, to plead before him. Petitions in carloads asked for mercy. But he was obdurate. When even Wiggins tired of the glory of the conquest and threw himself on hig face before his master, Filcher frowned and bade him leave his sight. Congress, tired of remonstrance, tried threats; but Filcher pointed to the clause in the constitution which declares the right of private property, and smiled with assur ance. "What do you want?" finally asked con gress. "I have asked for nothing," replied Filoher. Thousands were now daily dying of starva tion. Government was powerless. "Force the Great Bread Trust to the wall," shouted Anarchy. "Murder, kill, and divide the food among the people." "Any government is better than no gov ernment," replied the starving millions. "No Anarchy. Give us food, give us food." Democracy had failed. A power greater than itself had arisen under its reign. There was but one alternative, and careful men who had observed the flow of events with thought fullness, long had realized in it the ulti matum. Plutocracy. The Great Bread Trust had made it pos sible. Passively it was accepted. The sun of the republic sank to rise no more. The Great Bread Trust had accomplished the revolution. Filcher the First was crowned. IS CATON A "BOURBON" ? HIS VIEWS ON STATE POLITICS He Think* He See* a Chance for the Democrat* to Win Oat for Conarre**. Professor T. J. Caton, who says he has been hibernating since his congressional experience with "Uncle" Loren Fletcher, in an interview with a Journal man, airs his opinions in the following interest ng manner: Dr. A. A. Ames cannot defeat Loren Fletcher for congress. Despite the fact that he has the largest personal following of any man In the city, he cannot hoodwink the enemies he has made. To be mayor is to court political oblivion for a while, at least until the people have forgotten things. Every man who was 'ever elected mayor of Minne apolis has suffered in political reputation. The doctor is a fighter, and he will kick up the dust in wonderful style if he shies his hat into the ring; but "Uncle" Loren will "do" him for the nomination. Then the democrats will have their opportunity, and if they -will put up a good Bourbon democrat —no silver republican, no mongrel, but a simon pure Bourbon of good reputation—he can be elected. No, the man Is not John Lind. Nothing can prevent Lind from being the next gov ernor of Minnesota, and the shrewdest repub licans know it. In an off year Lind will surely win. Van Sant ought to take a trip to Europe, feign sickness or something and escape from the wrath to come. It is a queer mix-up. Ames is in a party that wants to get rid of him. Van Sant is not wanted, and the party workers will probably see that he is nominated in order that he may be dis posed of as a factor in state politics. ffiliPit.

The Nicollet Clothing House, j THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL. Mr. Lowry's Suspicious Sunburn If it had not been for the presence of mind of Tony Levering last Saturday, his revered employer, the. Hon. Thomas Lowry, would have been fumigated right in his own office. It will be remembered that Mr. Lowry returned a few days ago from a 200 mile drive across country in North Dakota, undertaken for the purpose of inspecting the proposed route of the Soo to the Missouri river. While the weather was delightfully pleasant dur ing the journey, the sun was out in suf ficient quantity to "burn" the party to a blister. Mr. Lowry's own "facial fea tures" were as red as a little red wagon on the morning of his return, and he fairly blazed the way wherever he went. On his way to lunch Friday noon, a friend of Mr. Lowry's—one of the kind who always has something to say in a loud tone of voice in an elevator —asked him how much his complexion cost him— whether he bought it by the barrel or the box. Then he remarked: "It's funny they'd let you out while you're pealing." Mr. Lowry laughed pleasantly and mut tered something about its "being pretty tough," having reference to his trip, not the side of his face. On Saturday a young man with a black box, a funnel and some gun cotton walked into room 704 Guaranty building, the room which admits to the Lowry suite of offices where A. Z. Levering, pri vate secretary, and Fred G. James, fac totum, are stationed. The young man C.E. NOT GOING BACK National Convention Delegation No Measure of Enthusiasm. CINCINNATI NOT A SUMMER CITY Minnesota Will Send Hardly a Score to .the Convention There ■■■ This Week. ■; Probably not a score of persons will go from Minnesota this year as delegates to the International Christian Endeavor con vention, which-will hold its twentieth an nual meeting at Cincinnati, beginning ■Saturday next. In past years the situa tion has been different. In 1895 a special Minnesota train was run to Boston carry ing 175 delegates. In 1897 a special train conveyed a similar number to San Fran cisco. Local members, however, deny that in terest in the society or its work is fall ing away or that the amount of interest can be safely judged by th« attendance at conventions. "Christian Endeavor work is just as popular as ever, even more so, said one of them in discussing the matter. "The real trouble is that Cincinnati is not an ideal convention city for hot weather months. To tell the truth, it is about the warmest place on this continent and it was not wisdom to hold the convention there In the middle of the heated period. "Then, again, Cincinnati is not on the line of established travel this year, and that makes all the difference in the world. Nearly every delegate takes occasion to combine attendance at the convention with his vacation, and this year a great majority of people are bound to visit Buf falo or else spend a short time at some of the cooler summer resorts. When the national convention was held at Nashville some years ago the same lack of interest was noticeable and the attendance was de ficient." One fare for the round trip is the rate extended by the railways for this con vention and tickets are on sale July 5, 6 and 7 at all points mor« than 150 miles distant from Cincinnati. * If deposited with the joint agent before noon of July 11 the tickets may be extended to Aug. 81. THE WEATHER The Predictions. Abnormally high temperatures continue over the greater part of the entire coun try. Indications are for partly cloudy weather with showers over the centfal valleys and lake region, with a continua tion of high temperatures. It probably will grow warmer in the Dakotas and Minnesota to-day. Minnesota—Generally fair to-night and Wednesday, except possibly thunder storms Wednesday in the west to-night; Thursday possibly thunderstorms; east to south winds. Upper Michigan—Generally fair to-night, Wednesday and probably Thursday with occasional local thunder storms; little change m temperature; variable winds. lowa—Partly cloudy to night and Wednesday with possibly local thunderstorms; Thursday generally fair except thunder storms in east and cen tral; continued warm; east to south winds. North Dakota—Partly cloudy to night and Wednesday except possibly local thunder storms; Warmer in west portion to-night; Thursday probably gen erally fair; east to north winds. South Dakota—Local thunder storms to-night and Wednesday; continued warm Thurs day; generally fair with possibly cooler in west; easterly winds, becoming variable, Montana—Generally fair to-night and Wednesday, except probably local showers in west portion to-night and in east Wednesday; variable winds. For Minneapolis and Vicinity— Fair to night and Wednesday. Weather Conditions. It is slightly cooler than it was yester day morning ia the Ohio valley, lowa, Kansas and the southern parts of Min nesota and Wisconsin, and warmer in the Dakotas, and thence westward to the coast and in northern Minnesota, This morn ing's temperatures are above 80 degrees in the middle and lower Mississippi val ley and on the north Atlantic coast, with 88 degrees at New York at 8 a. m., 86 degrees at Washington, and 82 degrees at Boston. There was very little change in the central and eastern parts of the coun try in the day temperatures yesterday, which continued considerably above 90 de grees; 102 degrees was reported at Wash ington, 100 degrees at St. Louis and Kan sas City, and 98 degrees at Pittsburg and New York. The barrier of high pressure continuing on the south Atlantic coast prevents the coming of settled and cooler weather. The pressure is low in the Rocky Mountain region. Maximum Temperatures.

You're all guilty before the law for lettin' him out when he's peelin.' Trot him out. I've got to fumigate this place." Mr. Lowry caught a glimpse of the young man whose face he remembered was in the bunch that went down the elevator with him the day before. At the same moment Private Secretary Levering opened a side door and Mr. Lowry made his escape unscathed. The young man rushed into the private office and out of another door, but all too late, for the Soo's president was already on his way to Duluth, where he remains to this day. When he had sufficiently recovered, Col onel Levering telephoned the health com missioner and wanted to know what in thunder he had sent a Reuben to fumigate him for. The health commissioner, or some one using his 'phone replied: "What are you talking about? We never thought of such a thing." Then and there Colonel Levering fell to pondering, and he recalled three or four packages of patent medicine which had been received by Mr. Lowry late Fri day afternoon, the same being warranted to cure sunburn, remove tan and eradi cate freckles or money refunded. Then he tried to remember who would put up such a job, but he couldn't. Fin ally he wired Mr. Lowry it would be safe for him to return most any time now. HAS 125,000 ACRES T. B. Walker's California Pine Land Purchases Are Enormous. FINAL OUTLAY OVER $2,000,000 The Buying Began Several Years Ago After a Careful Investiga tion of the Lands. The largest pine land purchase ever made in California has been successfully engineered by representatives of T. B. Walker, the Minneapolis lumberman. The vast stretch of forest in the golden state now owned by Mr. Walker is situated in southern Siskiyou and southern Modoc counties, in northern Shasta county and In the extreme northwestern corner of Lassen county. It is in the upper McCloud river district, southeast of Mount Shasta. There Is said to be nearly 125,000 acres of heavy growth on the tract. Mr. Walker's object in making the California invest ment is said to be the establishment of a lumber manufacturing plant for the use of his five sons. Including the mills and necessary logging railway, it is estimated that the investment will represent an ultimate outlay of between $2,000,000 and $2,500,000. A California paper gives the following additional information as to the property: Several yeard ago representatives of T. B. Walker of Minneapolis, Minn., went to Cali fornia and looked o/er various timber dis tricts on the Sierra Nevada and the Coast ranges of mountains. That situated on the upper McCloud river and extending over to the headwaters of seme of the tributaries of the Pitt river was decided upon as the most desirable for the establishment of a great lumber business at some future time. It was, however, deemed advisable that pur chases should be commenced without delay, and Chester L. Hovey was engaged to make the acquisitions. He has brought his labors to a conclusion in the formation of a timber and lumber plant on the? upper McCloud river district southeast of Mount Shasta that is probably the largest timber holding, as it cer tainly is the most extensive pine timber property under a single ownership in the state of California. The firm of Scott & Van Arsdale and the McCloud Lumber and Railway company possess a very large lumber plant on the east side of the Squaw mountains, which is a long spur spreading out from Mount Shasta. They have built a railway from the town of Upton eastward across this range of mountains to their mill in the McCloud valley. Just be yond and abutting their property, but not mixed with their land and extending east ward about twenty-flve mlle6, is the region in which T. B. Walker has purchased, with the view of establishing another immense lumber plant. It is expected that the McClovd railway will be extended as far east as Bartle's ranch and station house on the upper McCloud river. This line will probably be continued across the low range lying to the eastward, known as the McCloud mountain, into the Bear river valley and to the mill plant on the Walker timber when it is erected. AFTER MINNEAPOLIS BRICK Dcs Moines School Board Committee Coming Here to Investigate. Minneapolis brick will probably be used in the construction of an extensive addi tion to the West Dcs Moines, lowa, high school building. The Dcs Moines Register says that the building committee, Messrs. Preston, Dilworth and Kurtz, will ascer tain at what prices Minneapolis brick can be obtained. A decision to use vitrified brick was reached some time ago and the building committee, the Register says, thinks they can be secured in Minneapolis better than in any other place. The paper adds: It will be remembered that a few months ago some members of the Minneapolis city council were in Dcs Moines for the purpose of investigating the price of paving brick. They professed to have had some peculiar experience* while here, and it remains to be seen if the Minneapolis brick men will recip rocate when the members of our school board go there. GRAIN MAN RETIRES P. G. Logan Well Known to North- western Grain Dealers. F. G. Logan, on© of the wealthiest and most prominent members of the Chicago board of trade, well known to the grain trade of this city, has decided to retire from active business. Mr. Logan's an nouncement comes as a great surprise to the trade, as he is only 50 years of age and very active. Mr. Logan believes that when a man has built up a fortune he should retire and make use of his wealth. The new firm will be known as Logan & Bryan, and "will consist of Theron Logan and Benjamin Bryan. F. G. Logan will retain an Interest as a silent partner. Frank Jolley will continue as the com pany's representative in Minneapolis. MONEY OF MINNESOTA The State Treasurer Reports at the Close of Jane.

Herreid Talks of the Crops and Other Good Things In Store for His State. Governor C. N. Herreid, who paid a flying visit to Minneapolis yesterday, says: Cereal crops In South Dakota have never been better, and our people are hopeful of a big harvest. The crucial period will have been passed in a few days. June was Ideal, and if July treats U3 half right we will mature as fine a crop as the northwest has ever seen. Senator Varnum told me the other day that the crops in his county—Campbell—are the best ever grown there. I get similar reports from all sections. We have had no destroy ing winds or hall storm. We may not escape altogether—that would be expecting too much —but the chances of a failure are very re mote Indeed. The state is fast getting upon a solid basis. All the towns are improving and the farm ers are getting better homes and many of the luxuries of life. They now have leisure and some means to enjoy it. I have Just come from the Chautauqua at Big Stone, where 4,000 people, a large percentage of them farmers, have attended many of the meetings. The state has made wonderful progress during the past four years. There are no paupers and no tramps. Everybody is at work and the hard-times cry has disap peared. A fine state spirit has developed among our people. We are proud of our com mon country. We had a fighting regiment in the Philippines and another that wanted to go. But we are South Dakotans first and are laying our foundations on broad-gauge lines. Our Institutions, schools, church and social and business projects are flourishing. Our lands are growing more valuable and our stock interests are steadily multiplying. The Soo road's extension from Wishek to Ashley—twenty-one miles—will be completed in two weeks. The line from Ashley to the Missouri will touch South Dakota at the northwest corner of McPherson county and then run west through the northern part of Campbell county. This is all fine farming country. There will be a town in Campbell county, about twelve miles from the river, •where the road will stop for a year. Early next year the Soo will extend to the Mis souri, crossing into North Dakota again, and build a river town on the North Dakota side. It will run southeast from Ashley to Aber deen and northwest to Bismarck. This de velopment will not be detrimental to Eureka, my home town. We want the country devel oped, and that la Just what the Soo will do for us. The republicans should carry all the judicial circuits this fall. REPORTS A SAVING The Register of Deeds Shows a De- crease In Salaries. Register of Deeds Merrill's monthly re-: port to the county commissioners shows that during June, 1901, there were 1,410 instruments filed, besides three certified copies. The fee collections amounted to $1,121.55 and the amount paid for salaries was $710.48. For June, 1900, when P. C. Metcalf was register, the instruments filed numbered 1,403, the fees aggregated $1,128.23 and $932.12 was paid for salaries. The receipts this year were, therefore, only $6.68 less than last year and the Bay ing in salaries, $221.64. The record for the first six months show* a saving of $1,097.11 in salaries. The June report of the clerk of the dis trict court shows receipts of $866.02, -with disbursements of $1,051.67, leaving a de ficit of $185.65. THE RAND NEARLY IDLE A Mining: Engineer Telia of South African Condition*. With the congressional party in St. Paul yesterday, en route for Alaska, was Robert M. Catlln, an expert mining en gineer in the employ of the Consolidated Mining company of South Africa. Mr. Oatlln is away on a few months' leave of absence. He says that operations in the Transvaal are being carried on now on a very small scale. There Is such diffi culty and danger attending the bringing of supplies from the coast that the mili tary authorities will not permit the com panies to maintain any large force of laborers. WAS HE SLUGGED ? Body Found at St. Patil Bear* Evi dence of Foul Play. An autopsy held yesterday by Coroner Miller, St. Paul, showed that the man who&e body was recovered from the river opposite Pig's Eye did not come to his death by drowning. There was a fracture at the base of the skull which gives evidence of foul play. The nature of the abrasion leads the coroner to believe that the man was sandbagged and then thrown Into the river.
