opening session in December. Among
other subjects to be considered at the
St. Paul meeting will be that of foreign
markets, American ships, elevator com

sion will go to Duluth and Aberdeen,
S. D. The speech delivered by Mr. Hen
ley before the convention of the Minne
sota state federation of labor at Duluth,
July 12, attracted a great deal of atten
tion, and, undoubtedly, did much ln in
ducing the commission to make St. Paul
and Duluth points for its investigation.
THE. LABORED WITH SASDELL
SMOOTH WORK WHICH INDUCED
HIM TO VOTE FOR
CLAUSSEN
Petition Circulated Among Repub
licans for Signatures Recom
mending the Candidate for City
Engineer.
It now develops that Mayor Kiefer,
President Pottgieser and Commissioner
Ames "played both ends against the mid
dle" to secure the election of City En
gineer Claussen. Commissioner Sandell
had Informed the mayor In March last
that he would not vote for Claussen, and
after a committee from the Lincoln club
had been told by Mayor Kiefer that San
dell had tried to bribe him for a reap
pointment in 1900, Sandell reiterated his
declaration that he would not vote for
Claussen.
Then the politicians, headed by Timo
thy Reardon, labored with Sandell and
secured a promise from him that he
•would vote for Claussen if the Lincoln
club would indorse the choice of the
mayor for the position. The Lincoln
club, however, refused to do this, and
Sandell declared he would not vote for
Claussen until he was certain that he
was the choice of the Republicans.
The schemers then turned their atten
tion to another plan. Commissioner Ma
bon was approached and requested to
vote for Claussen. He demurred, giving
as a reason that he was not certain
anyone wanted Mr. Claussen except the
mayor. If it could be shown him that
Mr. Claussen was the choice of the party
he would be willing as a Republican to
vote for him. Mr. Mabon was asked if
a petition signed by the leading Repub
licans would have any weight, and he re
plied that it would.
This was just what the Claussen push
ers wanted. Friends of the mayor were
sent out in the several wards and peti
tions circulated for signatures. As soon
as the plan was well under way Mr. San
dell was, in strict confidence, of course,
put on, and the intimation given him that
Mabon was going to join with President
Pottgieser and Commissioner Ames and
elect Claussen. This settled the matter
so far as Sandell was concerned, and he
joined with the appointees of Mayor
Kiefer and made the election of Claussen
a certainty.
Mr. Claussen called on City Engineer
Ruhdlett yetsterday and informed that
official that he was going out of the city
for a few days and did not intend to
qualify and assume his duties before
Aug. 1. Mr. .Rundlett said he would at
tend to the duties of the office until Mr
Claussen was ready to take charge Tim
othy Reardon, who has been active in
securing the ousting of Rundlett, called
at the office of the board of public works
yesterday morning and left a box of ci
gars, with the compliments of the new
city engineer.
The sidewalks Investigation was sched
uled to be taken up yesterday morning
by the board, but President Pottgieser
and Commissioner Mabon were not on
hand, and an adjournment was taken to
Tuesday morning.
MEETING POSTPONED.
Joint Council Committee Await At-
turner's Opinion.
* Owing to the absence from the city of
Aid. Sanborn and Assemblyman Albrecht
the meeting of the joint council commit
tees on ways and means has been post
poned from tomorrow to Tuesday even-:
ing at 7:30 o'clock. The opinion of Cor
poration Attorney Markharh as to the
legality of the recent law passed by the
egislature authorizing an additional
levy of one and a half mills for s6hoo
purposes will be presented to the com
mittee at Its meeting. m
Walter L. Chapin, who drafted the law
says that there is no question about the
new law being all right, but as Mr
Chapin is not at the present time the
legal advisor of the council the commit!
tee have decided to await the opinion
from the corporation attorney.
Do you realize that the finest flour mill
ing is done here in St. Paul? The prod
uct is called Apple Blossom Flour, and
it Is worthy of your full approval You
can demonstrate this by asking; your
grocer for it. '
THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, SUNDAY, JULY 23, 1899.
IT WAS A SCORCHER
MELTING MOMENTS WERE VERY
NUMEROUS ALL DAY IN TOWN
YESTERDAY
ONE DEATH FROM SUNSTROKE
The Victim Was Michael Heiton, of
<>«(*> Broadway—Area o. Low Bar
ometer Remained Nearly Sta
tionary—Drag; Store Thermom-
eters Ran Dp as High as 07 De
gree, in the Shade.
Everybody, except those favored few
who were employed In the cooling rooms
at the several breweries, admitted yes
terday that it was hot. The clerks at
the soda fountains by adroitly standing
ln the waves of air from the electric
fans and abstaining from eating or drink
ing any of the decoctions they sold man
aged to keep from melting, but even
this class declared "it was very warm."
There was a breeze according to the
weather man, blowing from the south,
but it was hard to find and not much
use in the way of cooling when one could
locate It. The humidity, as the weather
bureau puts It, was 64, and this explains
why the atmosphere was so moist and
sticky and the breeze made one feel just
as warm as if there had been none.
COLD WAVE POSTPONED.
Weather Observer Lyons stated yester
day afternoon that the "area of low baro
meter which had induced the hot spell
remained nearly stationary." The thun
der showers predicted for yesterday fail
ed to come to time and they are not
included in the predictions for today.
For this reason it might be a fair pre
sumption that there will be some showers
other than those of heat.
The resort of the weather office gives
the highest temperature as 91, the lowest
71, the mean temperature 81 and" the range
20 degrees. Nearly all observing persons
can tell just when it was 91 and, in fact,
nine out of ten of the citizens who had
to work yesterday will make affidavit
that It was 101 in the shade, but few, if
any, could be found last evening who
would believe that at any time the ther
mometer dropped as low as 71.
MERCURY MAY SLUMP.
Drug store therometers in various parts
of the city ranged all the way from 88
to 97 in the shade and these figures prob
ably express the views of the majority
of the people as to the heat more cor
rectly than the quicksilver tube in the
office of the weather observer. Even
taking the figures of the weather office
as the real thing the maximum tempera
ture yesterday was 91, as against 90 on
Friday. The predictions are that the
wind will continue to blow from the
south and that the temperature will be
slightly lowered.
DEATH FROM SUNSTROKE.
The first death of the summer from
sunstroke, occurred at the city hospital
yesterday, when Michael Heston, living
at 669 Broadway, died from the effects
of Friday's severe heat. The effects of
the sunstroke were not at once apparent,
but during Friday night Heston became
111 and was taken to the hospital yes
terday. The physicians diagnosed the
case as one of sunstroke. Shortly after 2
o'clock Heston died.
Heston was a laborer. Friday he was
at work hauling stone. One of his horses
fell down and it took some time to get
the animal on its feet. The driver la
bored in the hot sun with the horse, lift
ing and trying to assist the animal to
rise. It was doubtless this exposure and
exertion "that affected Heston so that he
was afterward overcome. When he re
turned to his home in the evening Heston
did not complain of feeling unwell. He
retired at the usual time, but about 2
o'clock In the morning he was taken with
convulsions. A physician was called, but
the stricken man grew worse until noon
yesterday, when he was sent to the hos
pital. He was then in a state of uncon
sciousness and did not rally.
The dead man leaves a wife, who was
with him at the time of his death.
TWO DECREES ASKED.
Complaints for Relief From Unhap-
py Marriages Filed.
Two complaints for relief from un
happy marriages were filed yesterday in
the district court and in both of them
sad tales of domestic infelicity are un
folded. William Geckler asks the court
to sever the bonds that unite him to
Amelia Geckler on the grounds of mis
conduct and desertion. Th" Gecklers
were married in January, 1866, when he
was 21 and the defendant was 16 years
old. They have five children, whose
ages range from 4 to 13 years.
On the evening of Oct. 15, 18S6, accord
ing to the complaint, Mrs. Geckler so far
forgot her duties as a wife and mother
to yield to the seductions of one James
McDonough. This was while the fam
ily was living on Mississippi street. On
the following day she packed up her
clothes, the plaintiff alleges, and left
for other climes. The last heard of Mrs.
Geckler she was in La Crosse, Wis. E.
S. Thompson is attorney for the plain
tiff.
Mary Thornton, who gives her age at
25, wants a decree from Thomas J. Thorn
ton, whom she alleges deserted her while
she was 111. The defendant Is four years
older than his wife. They were married
on June 1, 1897, and lived together until
June 16, 1898, when Mrs. Thornton says
she was sick and suffering. During the
whole month previous to his departure
he had treated her badly.
The plaintiff asks permission to re
sume her maiden name of May Weber
and the custody of her year old son,
besides an allowance of temporary ali
mony.
TO YELLOWSTONE PARK.
Mrs. Charles T. Yerke* En Route on
the Northern Pacific.
Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes, wife of the Chi
cago street railway magnate, passed
through the city yesterday on her way
to the Yellowstone national park. She
left over the Northern Pacific, and after
a ten days' visit at the park will con
tinue her trip to the coast, visiting San
Francisco and north Pacific coast points.
She was accompanied by a party of
three.
RETURNS FROM YELLOWSTONE.
Prof. Sperry Talks About the Dewey
Geyser.
Prof. Lyman B. Sperry, of Oberlin col
lege, was in the city yesterday on his
return from the Yellowstone National
park with a party. Prof. Sperry is a
geologist of considerable note and one
of the best posted men regarding the
national park in the East. He was very

HIBERNIANS'- OUTING.
Delightful Picnic Enjoyed by Them
at Luke Shore.
The Ancient Order ''of Hibernian* of
the city left yesterday -overt the St. Paul
& Duluth for Lake Shore on their annual
picnic. The number 'of people carried
by the road was immense and exceeded
that of any previous affair of the kind
this summer. The njajorlty of the ex
cursionists left on a (Special train which
followed the regular 'train at 9:15 yes
terday morning, but the egress of people
to Lake Shore continued without inter,
mission all day long. The afternoon
trains were crowded to their utmost
capacity.
At Lake Shore the amusements were
of the usual picnic kind, with a fine
programme of sports?**, dancing, rowing
and other amusements. The day was per
fect, though somewhat hot, and the
crowds on the grounds all day long were
unusually large. It is estimated that
3,500 people were at the lake during the
day. ---I- -7 .ji-.v"-;.:*^

riers are often complimented on the fine
appearance of their band, with their new
silver-plated instruments and neat uni
forms of government grey, fi On the day
of the picnic the carriers will meet at
the postoffiee and march to the depot
headed by this famous band and on
arrival at the picnic grounds the day's
festivities will be opened with a band

Telling All About It.
Al Fischer and William G. Carllng have
returned from a flying trip to Europe.
Both of them are particularly strong ln
strange waistcoats and neckties, pur
chased, according to Mr. Carling, under
the personal direction of the Prince of
Wales. The gentlemen left here five
weeks ago and spent a few -days in Lon
don, a couple at Brighton, and several in
Paris. "We were full of regret," said
Billy Carllng. "that we could not spend
a little more time at Sandrlngham with
the dear old prince, but Al. was in a
hurry to get back and we had to decline.
By the way, did you notice the re
semblance between myself and Wales?
He called my attention-to it. He wanted
to be particularly remembered to all his
old friends in St. Paul and begged me
to tell the boys if they loved him to wear
nothing but crash suits."

Miss Kenrick Heir to a Claim of
Ancient Vintage.
Edward F. Kenrick was yesterday ap
pointed guardian of his 15-year-old daugh
ter, Grace W. Kenrick, by Judge Bazille
in probate court. The reason for the ap
pointment was that Miss Kenrick is one
of the heirs to a claim that is nearly 110
years old. Her great "grandfather, ac
cording to Mr. Kenrick,-was a rear ad
miral in the United States navy and was
the owner of a vessel that was captured
by the French in 1789. A claim was put
In under the French spoliation act and
has been pending until. recently, when an
award of $10,600 was made and Is await

CHIEF GRAIN INSPECTOR CLAUSEN;
DESCRIBES ITS EFFECT ON
THE GRAIN
FROM AN EXPERT STANDPOINT
That Which Is in the Milk "Will Be
Severely Injured and That in the
Dough "Will Be Shrunken—Re
ports Indicate Considerable Dam
age to Grain in Aberdeen Section
In North Dakota.
The weather such as St. Paul and the
Northwest has been afflicted with for the
past few days will undoubtedly have its
effect on the wheat crop. Just what this
will amount to cannot De definitely
stated, but those familiar" with the crop
conditons admit that the weather for the
past week has not done the growing
wheat any good. If it continues a few
days longer serious damage will re
sult. The wheat acreage this year in
Minnesota and the Dakotas is about the
same as last year. In the Dakotas it is
a little less than last year, many of the
farmers planting less wheat and more
flax. 7777.: '7-
Chief Grain Inspector Clausen, asked
yesterday as to the possible effects of the
torrid weather on the wheat crop, said:
"The effect of the present hot weather
on the wheat depends entirely on the
approach of the grain to maturity. If it
is in the milk extremely hot weather will
hurt It. If it is in the dough state,
which is still further advanced toward
Its maturity, then a spell of hot weather
such as we have had for the past few
days will hasten its maturity and will re
sult in a shrunken berry instead of
plump kernels.
"Wheat ought to be well headed out in
South Dakota and Central and Southern
Minnesota. The continuation of this
kind of weather Is bound to injure the
wheat crop In the Northwest. From re
ports coming in considerable damage has
resulted in the Aberdeen section in North
Dakota. The crop in the Crookston
country has not headed out as yet owing
to the delay in seeding caused by the
late spring, and this is also true in
North Dakota." . '--;
Michael Doran, the commission broker
received a letter yesterday from Yank
ton, S. D., from one of his agents, which
stated that the thermometer on Thursday
was 92 in the shade at that point, but
that wheat and oats were looking well
There was some rust on the wheat, but
it was Impossible to say how this would
effect the crop as yet. Mr. Doran said
the continuation of the present spell of
weather would certainly do the crop no
good and have the effect of hastening
the growth of the wheat and making the
kernel small and shrunken

CAMP MEETING OPENS
COLORED PEOPLE PRAY AND SING
AT RAYMOND AND UNI
VERSITY AVENUES
MRS. LENA MASON PREACHES
Bay* * It I* Not Stylish t© Go to
Meeting Saturday Night*, but
Thought She Would See if the
People "Would Turn Sport* a
Brilliant Diamond and Talk*
"With Fund of Natural Eloquence.
"Bress de Lawd, I'se gwine straight to
glory," shouted a young colored'woman
last evening as she rose from her seat
in the tent at University and Raymond
avenue, where the colored people's first
annual camp meeting is being held. Ap
parently in a frenzy of religious enthu
siasm she kept repeating the words, rais
ing her voice almost to a shriek. There
was a responsive chorus of "Bress de
Lawds," and " 'Deed you is, sistah," and
the women sitting near the "shouter"
pulled her back to a sitting position. It
was only an incident of the service.
The meeting, which is being conducted
under the auspices of the A. M. E.
church of Minneapolis, is held under a
canvas large enough for a two-ringed cir
cus, and still last evening the seating
capacity was taxed to the utmost. About
200 white persons, attracted by motives
of curiosity, helped to make up the con
gregation, and sang and shouted with a
fervor that almost equaled the enthusi
asm of the colored portion.
"WHAT'S- THE NEWS?"
Upon the platform were seated Rev.
Mrs. Lena Mason, the colored evangelist
from Hannibal, Mo., and Rev. J. Will
King, pastor of the A. M. E. church, be
sides several members of his choir. Rev.
King opened the meeting by reading the
hymn, "Palms of Victory," out of a tat
tered hymn book, by the flickering light
of the gasoline lamps that hung sus
pended from the tent poles. Then he
sang "What Is the News?" with the con
gregation joining in the refrain.
Ah hab got good things toh tell,
Jesus doeth all things well
He triumphs over death and hell
hat's the news?"
'When all sings it sound better," said
the pastor. "There shall be showers of
blessings bye and bye. Among wicked
men and tempting devils we are on our
,way to a better world."
"That's so," broke In Rev. Mrs. Lena
Mason as she stepped from the rear of the
platform and assumed charge of the serv
ice. Mrs. Mason is a little dusky woman
with short hair and dressed in a broad
cloth suit of clerical cut with expansive
shirtfront in the center of which sparkled
a large diamond. She read the nineteenth
pslam and called for someone to lead in
prayer. A colored brother,, sitting near
the front responded with a long and fer
vent exhortation that brought forth a
chorus of "aniens" from the congrega
tion.
"It's not stylish to go to church on Sat
urday night," said Mrs. Mason by way of
introduction. "I just thought I'd have a
meeting to see if you 'uns would turn out.
A man has as much right to serve God
Saturday as well as Monday, bless the
Lawd.
PREACH THE WHOLE THING.
"I'm going to preach tonight from the
thirty-seventh chapter of Ezekiel because'
a man asked me and I see him down
there. He did not say what verse he
wanted, but I'm going to preach the
whole thing and then he is sure to get
the verse he wants. My text though will
be the third verse. 'And he said unto
me. "son of man can these bones live,''
and I answered, "oh son of God, thou
knowest.' "
"It was God that asked that Question.
We all know what bones are. Other peo
ple once lived in Minneapolis and St.
Paul. Other people have lived right here
before you and me and have gone to that
place frcm where no man returns; that
is to stay. Some of you can't make me
out nohow. Lots of you are sk.ered of
me, but I won' hurt you. Spirits can
come back as sure as you are setting tin
der this canvas. Some have the gift of
healing, some have the .spirit of prophecy
and some people can see spirits. Some
people are born to see spirits and I might
have been one of that kind. 1 don't say
1 an;, but I might have been.7.7
"1 can tell if you say anything about
me. I know you. I read you, and when
you come to me I see that little devil
sticking out. I'm a very peculiar old
woman. Been married seventeen years,
long enough to have been married twice,
and my husband says he don't know me
yet. The other day I was sitting talking
to Brother. King here and it struck me all
of a sudden that George was doing some
thing. I just sat down and wrote him a
letter, and today 1 got.an answer saying
he wouldn't do it any more. When I
get home he'll go on tiptoes. I can keep
up with him all right.
"God gave some people one talent, some
two talents and some five talents, that
they used and increased. The lord may
have given me several talents. Ezekiel
-was a man that seen many things. He
had many visions. Once the Lord said to
Ezekiel: 'I am going to use you as a sign
for the people. "There's going to be a big
war after a little and I want you to take
ycur mantle (the mantle was something
•like a long waterproof cape) and maka
a hole ln. the wall of your house. Than
3
carry out your furniture, some by day
and some by night, through the hole in
ycur. house. After it is all out put your
mantle over your head and run to show
the people that is just the cowardly way
they are acting because they are afraid
of the king that was going to make war.'
WORDS CAME THICK AND FAST.
"One time the Jews were in bondage
meny times they were in bondage and
their slavery was like ours. They were
beaten by overseers just like us."
During all the time the speaker had
been talking her voice had been constant
ly rising and the words began to come
thick and fast. Many of the colored peo
ple in the congregation t-egan to grow
restless and there was a perfect chorus
of "Amens" and "Bress de Lawds" to
punctuate every utterance.
"I'm carried away in the spirit," declar
ed Mrs. Mason, in an ecstasy. "Some of
us know how it Is and some of us Is
scared of being carried away."
The speaker became even more fervent
as she declared in Impressive tones:
"These sinners are walking.around here
with these dry bones. Can they live?"
There was a storm of "Hallelujahs" and
"Eress de Lawds" from the front row,
and a young man in the rear of the tent
shouted: "Ob cose it's all right, we'se
gwine to see de Lawd."
The excitement became Intense. Half
the congregation was waving back and
forth on the benches and muttering ex
citedly, and Mrs. Mason herself appeared
almost frenzied.
"When Gabriel will put one foot on the
land and the other on the sea, and the
Lord asks 'what are you going to do*
he'll say I'm going to make those dry
bones live, and they were exceedingly
dry." , *
"Br^ss de Lawd," came the chorus,
growing louder. '
I m going to have lots of noise, I'm
going to hear the angels cry and hear
the twenty-five elders," Mrs. Mason fair
ly shrieked. "The dry bones are moving
under the altar. Hallelujah. We'll be His
people then. Can these old bones that
sinners are packing around here and in
Minneapolis be made to live again?"
"Dey can," came the chorus.
ARE ALL ALIKE.
We re going to a physician that never
lost a patient. There will be no rheuma
tism nor cholora nor smallpox nor con
sumption there. You never know when
the call will come. When we get there
we want to find our departed friends
waiting for us. I expect to see my old
father watching out of the gate for this
ola sister, watching for the sister from
Missouri, and bless the Lord, I'll be there.
There is no men nor no women with
God. We're all alike."
At this point the speaker came to an
other abrupt pause, and began to sing a
hymn, "Wash Me and I will Be Whiter
Than Snow," which was sung most
heartily by the congregation. Then Mrs.
Mason announced that a collection would
be "lifted"and that she expected to net $7.
She was successful in her expectations,
and thanked the congregation before pro
nouncing the benediction for $7.
The camp meeting will continue until
August 7 with two services daily and
three on Sundays. It is the most pictur
esque affair that St. Paul has had an op
portunity to attend for a long time.
L-ttractlve Dining Cn
"Nothing adds more to the attractive
ness of a train than a pleasant and invit
ing dining car. Those attached to the
Pioneer Limited of the Milwaukee road
—the only perfect train in the world
will make an epicure smile with satisfac
tion and smack his lips with anticipation.
Carved, decorated, cool and dainty, the
tables covered with spotless Irish satin
damask, and set with Haviland china and
silverware of the rare old English oval
shape; to look Is to hunger and long for
the welcome call to refreshments."—
What to Eat. ;:----,..
Couldn't Identify the Duck*.
Michael Chasner and his wife, who
were arrested at the instance of Mrs.
H, Gernar on the charge of stealing six
ducks belonging to the complainant.were
discharged in the police court yesterday.
It appeared that several broods of gos
lings belonging to the two families
sought the same pond in the neighbor
hood in which to disport themselves.
When Mrs. Gernar's brood came, home
six ducks were missing. It was alleged
the missing fowls had gone home with
the Chasner broods. The prosecution fell
through when the complainant could not
Identify the ducklings she claimed be
longed to her. "■■<■•_

EASY FOR THE COOK.
As the warm days approach. It Is well
to give some thought tc an easy way to
prepare breakfast. A food that is al
ready cooked and simply needs to be
treated with a little cold milk or cold
cream, is Ideal on that point, and such
a food can be found in Grape-Nuts, at
15 cents per package.
It is sold by all grocers, and is bo
highly concentrated • that not more than
three or four teaspoonfuls are required
for the cereal part of the meal. This
makes the food very economical and does
