2 SASNTLY CITY DOINGS. Maggie Thompson, a West Side Midget, Mysteriously Disappears. A Coachman, Recently Dis missed, Charged With Her Abduction. Emma Happe Dies Suddenly, -: a Victim of Small pox. Arbor Day Observances— A Good Time to Build Arks. THE MIDGET IS MISSING. Mrs. Abigail Thompson's Daughter Abducted, It Is Supposed, by a Servant. Mrs. Abigail Thompson, a widow re- Biding at No. 210 East Fillmore avenue, complained to the police at the Ducas street station yesterday that her thir teen-year-old daughter, Maggie, who is a midget but two feet six inches in height, had mysteriously disappeared. It is believed the chiid was abducted by Albert Beadle, a young man who had until recently been employed by Mrs. Thompson as a driver. Mrs. Thompson formerly operated a large farm in Egan township, Dak., and removed to St. Paul in March last. She is well-to-do, and desired to give her children nn education. The midget child who has disappeared has been attending the Lafayette school, and was considered a bright scholar. Beadle was employed by Mrs. Thomp son in Dakota, and removed here with the family to take care of their carnage horses. He seemed to be an honest and industrious servant, and had the entire confidence of Mrs. Thompson until within the last month, when he took to drinking considerably. He had been heard frequently to say that if Maggie .Thompson would consent to go on ex hibition in "museums she might earn fame and a big salary. .These stories came to the ears of the girl's mother, and on Wednesday evening she dis charged Beadle from her service. Little Magcie cried when told Beadle was discharged, and about 9 o'clock she took her hat and went into the parlor of the family residence. A short time after her mother entered the parlor and discovered that the child had gone. She has not been seen since. There is every reason for the belief that Beadle is responsible for Maggie's disappearance. When he first entered the service of the family he could not read or write, and this so excited Mag gie's sympathies that she took upon herself the task of teaching him. They were together a great deal, and were very much attached to each other. The theory is that Beadle has induced the midget to leave home with the intention of placing her on exhibition. He is about live feet eight inches in height, with a light complexion and mustache and rather good-looking. Maggie Thompson has a face which gives her an appearance of being at least twenty years of age, and her manner is very grave. When she left home she wore a cardinal red dress, grey cloak and black hat. ITS FIRST VICTIM. Emma Happe, a Young German Girl, Dies of Smallpox. ' Emma Happe, aged twelve years, died of smallpox at the home of her mother, No. 557 Stryker avenue, at 5 o'clock ■yesterday afternoon. The remains were buried privately last night by the un dertaking firm of McCarthy & Donnelly.' City Physician Aucker attended the 'girl during her illness, and the house was strictly quarantined to prevent a possible spreading of tlie dread scourge. It is not known where the contagion originated, but Dr. Ancker is of the opinion that it was brought over by a relative of the girl who recently arrived from Germany. The health depart ment were notified of the case a week ago. and every precaution has been ob served. " - ARBOR DAY. Young Ideas Did the Bulk of the Tree PI nut ing Yesterday. ■ Yesterday was the date appointed by Gov. McGill for the observance of Ar bor day tliroughout the state, a custom that has been in vogue for a number of years all over the ' Union. The people understand that each one is requested to plant a tree where it will do the most good, but it is safe to say that less than one-third of the population of the state responded to the request. Saturday was purposely selected in order that all school children would have an oppor tunity to perpetual! the custom by tree planting. It would not be going too far to say that they did the bulk of the planting in the city. Outside, in the rural districts, the farmer probably ob served the day more strictly than his city brethren, not so much because it was Arbor day as from the fact that growing needs and scarcity of timber demand it. Timber does not grow with the same rapidity that characterizes its 'disap pearance, and the only way to prevent complete barrenness is a full observ ance of Arbor day and many other days. In many places extrordinary induce ments are offered the people for plant ing trees, and land where trees are planted is freed from the burden of tax ation. In some states the custom comes on a .school day, and the schools do much good. It is made a duty, and un der the guidance and direction of teach ers scholars are each obliged to plant a tree in some locality. Whole blocks and lots of them have thus been beauti fied and shaded from the sun's hot rays. Minnesota laws in no way recognize the day. It is observed in • this state through proclamations by the gover nor, the first one being issued by Gov. Hubbard a few years ago. Gov. McGill, recognizing the wis dom of his predecessor, also kept up the proclamation act, and figures in the state records show that great good has resulted. Every one knows that a for est that could be leveled in a single day can only be replaced by growth in many years, and every sane person can cer tainly imagine the disastrous conse quences that would follow the depletion of the timber resources of the continent. Wherever one tree is cut down another should be planted. Every one who can, and there arc few who cannot, should plant a tree somewhere every week of this life. If the cutting of timber con tinues at the rate it is now going on, the future generations must either sleep in and eat from the "antique," or build their beds and tables ot stone. Some states offer a bounty for every tree planted, but the absence of said bounty should not in any way prevent the cul ture and planting of trees that is needed / everywhere. Thus far the results have been good in Minnesota, and the in structions of Kiehle to the schools throughout the state were followed by teachers and scholars, and cannot fail to result in abundant good. ■ <:*..- -.'..-.*. GOOD TIME FOR ARKS. AH Indications Point to a Second Flood. There are splendid prospects for a sec ond Hood. The people in threatened districts know it, too. In West St. Paul and along the river banks the residents are very uneasy, and make no attempt to conceal the state of their feelings. The tain, which has continued steadily tor over forty-eight hours, has driven the frost from the ground. loosened the earth and caused serious washouts in many localities,'- to say nothing of great inconvenience and discomfort to. pedestrians: and -travel.*. Already the lower portions of the city , are partially submerged, and the quan tity of water is simply enormous. The gutters and sewers failed woefully in their purposes, and streets and side walks on all sides have been veritable creeks. Land slides - have, been common. Two occurred in West. St. Paul, one on [Dakota- ave nue and the other between Yoerg and Bruggeman's breweries, almost de-: molishing a large barn. Early last evening a third one occurred near Rob ert street, on the Milwaukee track. Trains on that road were delayed con siderably. The tracks at the Chestnut street station were entirely submerged. In addition to the water, large quanti ties of mud and debris were lodged there, having been washed from the streets above. West St. Paul, from the GLOBE, building resembles the "thousand islands," and the distress is almost as great as it was a week ago. In Swede hollow, and other similar de pressions, a great deal of suffering is experienced, and the sudden change to cold weather does not serve to better things. The yards at the union depot are afloat, and around the wholesale houses, mud— good, soft mud— is every where. Bail washouts have occurred on George, State and Isabel street. Over on Concord street everything is yellow. The water washed away large quantities of earth from the high embankments and all around, land slides large and small have occurred. Above the city the water has had an opportunity to run into the river and the serious appre hensions of high water appear, from all indications, to be well founded. Resi dents in exposed places are making preparations to meet trouble.. Lower rooms are being cleared' of household goods and outside property removed to higher ground.

Jim Dillon's horse is _ dead. This an nouncement will bring sorrow and joy into every household in St. Paul and the suburban towns— -sorrow, because he didn't die sooner; joy, that he didn't die later. , Yes, the death of this noble beast . will come to the people in the na ture of a shock, and men will turn for an instant from the pursuit of pleasure and pelf and remark with a sigh: Alas, poor "Rustler." He was a great animal, and none knew him but to sympathize with him. For years he buffeted the rain and wind and hail of Minnesota weather, and during all this time never has he been known to neigh a disap proval or kick because of the weight of his blankets. Out of respect to the lamented beast, and as a slight token of the feelings that pervade the city hall and its inhabitants, Mayor Smith has ordered that the old building be draped in bunting fora period of one year, and that Joe Spiel wear a banana peel on his hat while on duty. The death of Mr. Dillon's horse is regarded by many as a bad omen for Honest John Roche, who has always been a winner while the steed was on deck. He was a shrewd old beast, and .it is said he knew every house along the route from his domicile on Commercial street to the stopping off place in front of the comptroller's office, and while other foolish animals were tearing their hooflets of^in the slotlet, Jim's horse made a nofWf it and merely winked at the crevice as he passed it by. The Father Mathew society has not received official notice of the sad event, but it is expected that suitable action in the matter will be taken this afternoon. The funeral will be held some time to-day. In the language of the poet: Lift him up tenderly, Lift him with care; Fashioned so slenderly. Bones almost bare. Smooth his dark mane away, Comb down his tail Through his smooth ears, Let the wind blow a gale. Off to the Odorless, Cart him right through; Render to ham fat, The things that are glue. B. I. P. Conductors in Council. The Merchants hotel was the meeting place yesterday of the executive com mitteee of the Order of Railway Con ductors, those present being Messrs. O. H. Vaughn and G. H. Cross, of the Milwaukee; R. L. Willard, of the Burl ington ; T. R. Sloan, of the Northern Pacific, and D. Thompson, of the Min neapolis & St. Louis. Routine business only was transacted, although the com mittee was in secret session for several hours, and when they adjourned none of the members seemed willing to di vulge the nature of their deliberations. A number of railroad men who were in the corridors during the meeting stated that the committee was not one to consider grievances of any kind, even if such existed, and that the business that they had been called together to transact merely referred to a revision of the laws governing the executive committee. GARRETTY GETS THERE. He Enlists Half a Hundred Men in a Month— Army Notes. • The sub-depot of the general recruit ing service, located at St. Paul, and commanded by Capt. Frank D. Garretty, Seventeenth infantry, furnished to the army during the month .of April forty-: eight men— a number equal to the full strength of a company of infantry. The needs of the First cavalry and Twelfth infantry have necessitated that assign ments of recruits to confined to those regiments; but Capt. Garretty states the complement of men needed by the regi ments named has been so nearly fur nished that he hopes to begin early in May to enlist men for general service. Special authority has been recently given for the enlistment in St. Paul of men desiring to go to any military or ganization of the regular establishment, no matter where stationed—transporta tion being furnished by the government, without expense to the recruit. This privilege is somewhat unusual, and will be appreciated by old soldiers whose term of service is about to expire, and who prefer to serve .in some other de partment.' s ~~'.aA A board of officers has been ordered to convene at Fort Abraham Lincoln, Dak., for the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances connected with the desertion from that post of Private John Ausker, Company C, Fifth infantry.
