Weather Conditions.
The pressure continues low in the
Bocky mountain region, the greatest
depression extending from northern
Alberta to southeastern Montana this
condition has been attended by un
settled weather and showers in most
of the region' from the north Pacific
coast to Michigan and western New
York. There were rains also in cen
tral Tennessee and at New Orleans and
Jacksonville. The high pressure oyer
the southeastern states, together with
the low pressure over the upper Bocky
mountain region, is causing a decided
movement of air from the gulf north
ward to the northern United States
boundary, nearly the whole width of
the Mississippi valley, with higher
temperatures this morning In the lake
region, upper Mississippi and the Mis
souri valleys. This morning's tempera

north as the southern parts of Mich
igan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and south

thunderstorms are expected in this vi

Too great care cannot be exercised in the selection of a
boat at Lake Harriet last evening.
Dr. A. C. Howard, A Morton, Miss
Anna Tuberg and Miss Anna Berendt
of Mankato were en-joying a row on
the lake while the band played.
When out in the middle of the lake,
one of the party suggested the omnious
''let's change seaxs.''
The action upturned the boat and
all were thrown into the water. Their
frantic calls for help were heard for
some time, and the men in their strug
gles to rescue the women and keep
hold of the Upturned boat had to make
the fight of their lives to keepa above
water.
Three young men finally went to the
rescue and took the party to shore.
Miss Berendt was completely overcome
by the shock, and was unconscious the
greater part of the evening. The party
was taken to the city in DT. Howard *s
automobile and are today reported none
the worse for the experience.

Meat Which Made Family 111 Is Found
to Be Charged With Sodium Sul
I phide, Which Does "All that I
Claimed for It"Health Department
I In Doubt.
Sodium sulphide in large quantities
has been found by City Chemist A. D.
Meeds in a batch of hamburger steak
which was turned over to him for an
alysis. The meat made a family of
four persons ill and the unconsumed por
tion of the batch was sent to the health
department. Meat Inspector Costigan
was directed to visit the market where
the meat had been purchased and he
found some more of the steak as well
as a patent preservative which contains
a large percentage of sodium sulphide.
Thoroly "Preserved,"
Some of the steak which was not
analyzed was left in an open dish in
the laboratory, and altho it has stood
there for four or five days in a tem
perature averaging 80 degrees or more,
it is still in perfect condition, indicat
ing that a powerful preservative had
been used.
?aken
pThe action of this chemical when
into the stomach is to retard fer
mentation and digestion, with the
reSt.
sult that the eater soon becomes ill
from indigestion.
It is learned that many of the mar
kets have various preservatives on
hand as well as coloring matter. By
means of these the butchers can take
scraps of meat, some which may
beson
passe, cut it up for hamburger or sau
sage, turn in sodium sulphide dope, tint
it with coloring preparations and place
before their customers a preparation
which looks as well as fresh meat and
whieh will keep indefinitely.
Health Officer in Doubt.
Health Commissioner Hall is aware
of this practice, as well as many oth
ers, pursued by local dealers, but the
authority of his department is not clear
ly denned. He can condemn decayed
meat and disposes of more than ten
tons annually in this way, but is in
doubt as to how much farther he can go.

GITY ASSESSOR RAISES,/
GOAL COMPAQ-TAXES
City Assessor Minor has decided to
apply a new rule to the assessment of
companies. The law says that assess
ments must be based on values of
stocks on May 1, but recliftfty ~i he
state supreme court, in a case against
the Swift Packing company, held that
it was legal for assessors, when deal
ing with xoreign corporations, to make
assessments on the basis of the aver
age amount of business done during
tne year.
Mr. Minor will apply this method to
the coal business and expects a healthy
addition to the assessments in conse
quence.
It has been discovered that nearly
all the local coal companies are heavily
indebted to the Twin City Coal Yard
company, which seems to be a sort of
clearing house. It will be assessed
heavily.

STATS CHEMIST MAKES TROU-

'Prophet" Is Accused of Foisting on
the Public an Adulteration Which
Violates the Pure Food Laws of
MinnesotaProsecution to Be Com
menced. John Alexander Dowie of Zion City,
111., is charged by the^state dairy and
food commission with attempting to
dodge the Minnesota pure food law by
selling for lard at Winona a compo
sition of tallow and cottonseed oil.
A sample of shortening was secured
from a Winona grocer recently by
John McCabe, state inspector, and sent
to the state chemist at the old capitol,
Paul, for analysis. The chemist now
announces that the shortening, instead
of being lard, is a mixture of tallow
and cottonseed oil. Prosecution is to
be brought accordingly. If Mr. Dowie
himself was within the fetate of Minne
sota, he might be "pinched" per
and fined $15 to $50, or in lieu
of such payment a workhouse sentence
imposed.
But in view of the fact that John
Alexander Dowie at present has trou
bles of his own which are keeping him
strictly within the limits of the city
of Chicago, the prosecution will be
brought -by the state against the unbition
fortunate Winona grocer whose faith
in Mr. Dowie's product was sufficient

AMPLE FUNDS FOR
G. A. R. POLICE DETAIL
At the meeting of the council com
mittee on police this afternoon Balph
W. Wheelock, who ris the financial
officer of the police department, pre
sented his semi-annual report. The de
partment has for this year an appro
priation of $268,250. The expenditures
for the first six months will be $129,-
995,25, leaving a balance for the re
mainder of the year of $138,254.75. As
the department has made all its large
purchases of supplies, there will remain
a fine surplus for emergencies. In other
worda there will be sufficient funds for
ample police protection during the G.
A. B, week. Arrangements have been
made for securing the services of a
large number of detectives from other
and the employment of a large
number of special policemen.
FAIR MANAGERS MEET
Extra Provision Necessary for Live
stock Exhibits.
The board of managers of the Min
nesota state fair will meet tomorrow at
the fair grounds at 10 a.m. There will
be reports from the superintendents of
departments regarding application for
space for exhibits, and from these re
ports the board will be able to make
additional plans for the accommodation
exhibitors. It is probable that some
sort of temporary provision will be
necessary for most oi'the livestock de
partments. For the merchandise ex
hibits suJ provision Js moret difficult
and it is likely that many exhibitors in
these classes will resort to temporary
structures of their own. "J,^?^*

June, 28, 1906.
Barely specialized commencement ex
ercises mark this week in Minneapolis.
This afternoon came the climax of a
Course in spellbinding and press agent
work, or "How to Become a Politician
in Eight Easy Lessons." And tomor
row the degree of bachelor of traction
engineering will be conferred on a
large class who have been tootered at
the state fair grounds for four weeks.
The politician degree was conferred
by the Minneapolis School of Prohi
bition, which has nothing to do with
the toot degree of the traction en
gines.
Today is the last day of the 1906cially
session of the prohibition school, or
ganized and operated under the man
agement of the Intercollegiate Prohi
bition association, and altho there will
be no commencement exercises or
sheepskins attesting to the/ graduates'
ability to wage the war for temper
ance, there will be no delay in apply
ing the knowledge gleaned during the
course, for twenty-seven of the thirty
four students will enter county and
legislative prohibition organizations at
once. Five days, morning and evening
sessions, were spent under the eyes of
ten instructors, and the object of the
school was systematic training by men
of experience and careful students of
the prohibition movement Special at
tention was paid to the study of polit
ical parties and political methods, and
the pupils who have completed the
course will apply their training in
spreading the doctrine of the prohi
party.
While the students of the prohibition
school have been devoting their time
to planning the destruction of the
liquor traffic, 200 young men have been
learning the intricacies of traction-en-,
gine machinery, and tomorrow after
noon there will be commencement ex
ercises at the state fair grounds. The
exact program has not been announced,
but it is expected that traction engines
all over the state, and the two rollers
now at work on the Minneapolis streets,
will be breaking into spontaneous toots
when the sheepskins are dispensed.
Threshermen's asso
ciation will hold the first session of
the 1906 convention of the association.

PARK BOARD TO CONTROL
HAHA PARK MERCHANTS
Minnehaha avenue, from the Godfrey
road to the crossing of the Milwaukee
tracks- at Fifty -second street, is t be
placed under the control of the ^ar
board. An ordinance making thisrpro
vjsion has been prepared by City At
torney Healy and will be introduced
at the council meeting tomorrow
evening.
The purpose is to give the park
board greater authority to restrict ob
jectionable practices in the vicinity of
the park!
I Forborne time the board has enOne
deavored to drive away the peanut
venders, 'And various fakirs, who accost
visitors to the park with noisy shouts
and bold importunities and are a
nuisance in general. It has not been
an easy matter to control as Minnehaha
avenue is a public highway and peanut
vending has been held to be a legal
"traffic."
By turning over the street to the
park board the latter body can make
any regulations it may see fitt. It is
not the intention of the board, it is
said, to make any restrictions on what
is ordinarily known as street traffic

Headquarters for the different state
Grand Army departments, which will
be represented at the Grand Army en
campment, are rapidly being assigned,
and by the end of the week nearly all
of the state organizations will be lo
cated. Today arrangements were made
for the Rhode Island headquarters at
the Holmes hotol, the New Hampshire
headquarters at the Hyser, Alabama,
West Virginia and Maryland at the
Brunswick. The Pennsylvania and
Connecticut departments of the Wo
man's Belief Corps will also be at the
Brunswick.
The encampment committee is espe
desirous that Minneapolis citizens
who arc former residents of other
states, either thru permanent or
tem-greater
orary organizations, should arrange
state headquarters. At the
1884and
encampment associations made up of
former residents of several of the east
ern states provided for meeting places,
and the arrangement proved one of the
best fpatures of tne encampment.
Maine New Hampshire, Vermont and
other eastern states are to send large
contingents to the Minneapolis en
campment -,and altho department head
quarter* for members of the Grand
Army of -he Republic will be arranged
by the officials, there will be no provi
sion for meeting places between resi
dents and former residents of other
states unless action is taken by the
Minneapolitans who are notnatives of
Minnesota.
Chairman Nye of the committee an
nounces that the use of the Commercial
clubrooms will be gladly tendered for
the purposes of forming state associa
tions or arranging for headquarters.
Minneapolis women evidently feel
that there is plenty of time in which
to make preparations for the entertain
ment of the thousands of women who
will be here during G. A. E week, for
the attendance at the meeting which
was called today in the mavor's recep
tion room by Mrs. Samuel R. Van Sant
was anything but large. No definite
action could be taken, but some plans
were informally talked over. It was
suggested that the hostesses' commit
tee should be increased by the appoint
ment or a number of women from the
city to serve with the W R. C. at the
state headquarters. The state univer
sity girls have shown an interest in
the preparations and will probably be
asked to aid in the big reception on
the campus. Meetings will be called of
the former residents of the different
states within a few days to discuss
plans for informal state reunions.
Two heavily loaded streetcars
crashed together in a rear-end collision
at Nicollet avenue and Nineteenth
street late yesterday afternoon. Sev
eral persons were slightly bruised by
the sudden stop and some were cut by
flying glass
i
Both cars had lieen to Thirtv-first
street and were carrying crowds from
the ball game. They were going down
grade and when the front car stopped
rather suddenly, the rear car, being
heavily laden with passengers, could
not be controlled by the motorman and
it erashed into the rear of the front
Several windows were broken and
the rear platform was badly damaged.
man was slightly cut on the face
and another waa thrown against the
back of a seat^and waa badly bruised.
The cars were not disabled and finished
the trip. No one was seriously
injured. EPISCOPAL CHURCHES
HAY BE IN MERGER
The St. Mark's church building com
mittee is still considering a site for the
new procathedral, in case it is decided
to leave the building on Sixth street.
Today the Wells property between Oak
Grove and Groveland, facing Hennepin
avenue, seems to be the favorite
choice.
Such a site, however, would involve
the question, possibly, whether St.
Mark^s was encroaching on the pariah
of St. Paul's church, whitfh stands at
Franklin and Bryant avenues, three
blocks away. A way out which has
been suggested, should such a difficulty
present itself, would naturally be the
union of the two churches, altho St.
Pau^s has been preparing to build an
edifice for itself.

Trip Thru Southwest Reveals That-vj

crease. H. V. Jones, the Minneapolis crop
timator, who, in companv with Jojtf'
Inglis has been covering the winter^,
wheat fields of the United States, js--\
sued his annual report today. Mr. Jones
finds that the country has raised 420,-
000,000 bushels of winter wheat, the
largest crop ever produced.
In view of the dry periods earlier in
the season, when Kansas and Nebraska
stood in need of rains, which afterward
came, there was much talk of drought
and the railroads and financial world
stood at one time in fear of possible
crop calamity and lessened business Jb
tivity in the fall.
Railroads Will Be Prosperous.
The Jones figures would indicate
opportunity this year than ever,
for large southwest railroad earnings
general expansion. Southwestern
markets, at St. Louis and Kansas City,
received the report, which was sent out
from Minneapolis about noon: with sat
isfaction. The gram trade in general
waited for it, but Wall street evinced
as great an interest in view of recent
apprehension lest important damage
might have resulted the southwest
grain states, and the assurance in "the
report of a harvest return not only up
to normal, but even better than in
years past. New York waited for the fig
ures and a summary of the_report iral
cabled to London and Liverpool.
Some Crop Figures. i
Condensation of the report follows:
The crop of 420,00 ),O0O bushels winter *peat|
is made, and loss of yield can result now onlJV
from a wet harvest The winter crop last year
was about 3S0O00O00, altho the government
estimated it 40 000 000 higher, but dktrUmrion
shows clearlv that tbe government ws 3W)03.-'
000 to 60 uwO 000 too high on the last crop la
the Lnited States This would make the gala
in vicld this year over last about 40,000,000
bushels
When wheat, corn and cotton are In abund/

of depression, and the country is free from
depression There is reasonable assn-anee that

Farmers Have Money.
In commenting upon the general situation

The western farmer is prosperous, good
crors for five years have given him a surplus.
