"The weekly dance," said Secretary Jackson, of the state board of correction and charities, upon his return from St. Peter yesterday, "is the great feature with the patients in St. Peter insane hos pital. To the insane this diversion is not unnaturally one of the brightest inci dents of life within the walls of the hospital. Only about one-third of the inmates are allowed to take part, as it would be unwise to give this much liberty to a larger percentage. Those that are allowed to participate represent the class of patients that are not at all violent. The attendants dance with the inmates of the opposite sex, so the insane do not dance with one another." The St. Peter asylum is very much crowded. Jung's Beer goes "right to the spot." It is brewed in the good old German way. Absolutely no impurities. 262 Jack son street. Telephone. Main 207. DROP IX PRODICE. Street Car Upset* a Vehicle Filled With lv;us and Potatoes. L.

He forgot to look out for the cars, and a west bound Seventh street electric struck his wagon amidships, overturning it and throwing him to the ground with con siderable violence. By a fortunate chance he fell on the same side on which the car struck and escaped injury. His wagon was badly wrecked, and his eggs and po tatoes scattered all over the street. The TRY GRAIN-0!

POLES IN TOE CITJ STREETS MAYOR KIEFER PROVIDES CHIEF «OSS WITH A MAP SHOWING THEIR X.OCATIOX Half a Thousand of Them Still Left Within the District in Which All Wires Are Supposed to Have Been. Buried. After a conference with City Engineer Claussen yesterday, Mayor Kiefer for warded to Chief Gross a map of the cen tral portion of the city, which showed the various telegraph, telephone and electric light poles now in the streets. The dis trict is bounded by Kittson, Eighth, Wabasha, Seventh, Third, Broadway and Sixth streets, and by an ordinance passed in 1593 all poles and wires within the district were ordered to be placed under ground before Jan. 1, 1597. That this has not been done the map prepared by the city engineer plainly shows. There are over 500 poles now on the streets in the district owned and controlled by the Edi son Electric Light and Power company, St. Paul Gas company, Northwestern Telephone company, Mississippi Valley Telephone company and Western Union Telegraph company. The majority of the poles are those of the Edison and St. Paul Gas com panies. Last' evening Chief Goss issued a norder instructing all officers to prevent the putting . up of any poles on any of the streets and alleys in the city with out permission from the common council. City Engineer Claussen said last even ing that the map he had prepared, un der resolution of the council, showed the number of poles in the district where the ordinance required all wires under ground. As to. the number that had been erected by special resolutions of the coun cil, under the date when all poles were ordered removed, he was unable to say. He had not examined the council proceed ings, and had simply made a' map show- Ing the location of the poles. The question of, removing the poles and wires will be taken up by the council and the mayor, and an effort made to carry out the provisions of the ordinance. Maps were sent 'to each of the several companies, which have pole lines on the streets, and the attention of each cor poration called to the matter. HIS SWORD AT REST. Sir Knight R. T. Flonrnoy Is Buried With the Temple Honors. Local Masonic organizations were pres ent almost en masse yesterday at the funeral of Col. Richard T. Flournoy, whose remains were laid to rest in Oak land cemetery with all the solemn rites of the world-wide order. The members of Paladin commandery. K. T., in full regalia, in charge of Past Eminent Sir Knight W. H. S. Wright, marched from the headquarters on Fifth street to the Flournoy residence, Dayton and Summit place, where the body lay in state amid a wealth of beautiful floral offerings to his memory from a host of friends. The religious services were very simple and conducted by Rev. William W. Everts, pastor of the Woodland Park Baptist church. Following the reading of the usual burial service, Dr. Everts spoke a few words touching the deceased. Said he: "When our dear friend came to the parting of the ways his mind reverted to boyhood days and he became a child. I told him of the love of God and how it exceeded every other love. He expressed his belief in Christ and love of God." Miss Mary Harlow sang the hymn, "After the Day of Trouble." After prayer by Rev. Kverts, the East ern Star quartette, consisting 1 of Mr. and Mrs. Munson, Mrs. Campbell and Mr. McStay, sang "Gone to the Grave Is a Loved One." This ended the religious services. The commandery filed out of the house and formed two lilies facing each other from the steps to the "hearse. The pallbearers were of Paladin com mandery, as "follows: George Hunsaker, Wilbur Tlbbits, Isaac Seddon, John T. Black, of Duluth; John W. Owens, John Copeland, Herman Benz and George W. Freeman. The services at the grave had the add ed impressiveness of the rites of the Templar degree. Nearly fifty, sir knights, in full regalia, accompanied the remains to their last resting place at Oakland cemetery. About thirty , members of the Order of the Eastern Star also accompanied the remains to the cemetery. Past Grand Commander W. H. S. Wright and Past Commander of Paladin Commandery' Judge O. M. Metcalf con ducted the Masonic service. Responses were made by Generalissimo A. A. Doolittle, Capt. Gen. W. G. Tubby, Senior Warden George L. Wilson and Junior Warden George R. Kibbe. The white plumed helmet and the sword of the deceased knight were held during the ceremony by the senior warden, who afterward presented these emblems of knighthood to the family. Judge Metcalf committed formally and impressively all that was mortal of the deceased knight to earth, and the voices of all the brothers in knighthood joined In a solmen amen and in repeating the Lord's prayer. The choir, composed of Miss Pace, Mrs. Yale, Mr. Phillips and Mr. Council, sang "Lead, Kindly Light" and "Nearer My God to Thee."

FAIR WILL SET A MARK CATHEDRAL PARISH BAZAAR PROMISES TO BE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL. ONE GIVEt\ CLOSES AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT Attendance Han Been Immense, While the Dining: Room Han Been Liberally Patronized Day and Night— 3Slss Millie Potisieser Xow Leading: in the Ladies' Gold Watch Content. Little Marie Salzmann beat the wheel of fortune at the Cathedral bazaar last night for three doll chairs and a toy wardrobe. She is eight years old and has been saving her pennies to buy some thing nice at the church fair. Her for tune amounted to 33 cents, and after carefully Inspecting everything in sight she decided to try the wheel. Marie has had a longing for months for a nice set of furniture for her dolls. Her chance came last night, though not at the first whirl, and she won. Her first investment was a paddle, for which she paid a dime, entitling her to three chances on an embroidered doll cloak. The whael was obstinate and registered • a number which she did not have. An- ! of her try with the same result roused her sporting blood, and at the third chance the doll's set was placed as the prize. Investing one more dime, she inspected th^> remaining paddles. "Nina will win, I guess," said she. "I'll take it." And nine won. Marie carefully gath ered her treasures in her arms and ac companied by one of her small friends departed happy to invest the remaining 3 cents in apples at the old woman's stand. The attendance yesterday was immense. Estimates made last night placed tho number of paid admissions at 1,500. The dining room did a tremendous business through the day and the ladies served several hundred. During the evening the hall was packed with people and the investments at the booths were heavier than on any previous day. The fair will close at midnight to nierht. In the expectation that the at tendance will be the largest of the week the ladies have prepared special accom modations and have made every prepara tion to close the event In a blaze of glory. Mewlamea Bell, J. G. Donnelly and McGehan will have charge of the dining room and have so arranged it as to accommodate 250 persons at once. It is expected that '■ at dinner and supper the number served will reach 800. All the contests will be decided tonight. The voting will commence at 8 o'clock and will continue until 11, after which the decisions will be made. The contest between Miss Mary Ryan and Miss Millie Pottgieser for a gold watch is the principal event, and the supporteis ot both are making ready for a fight to win. The votes alrea.iy cast are very close. Miss Ryan receiving md Miss Pottgieser 24G. Miss Sans 1 and Miss Margaret Connlcy are contestants fcr a diamond ring, while Miss Farley and Miss Morgan are op posing each other for a silver set. Rev. Father Lawier states that the bazaar has been by far the most suc cessful ever given by the Cathedral par ish. The attendance during the week has aggregated between 5,000 and 6 000 with prospects that It will be substan tially increased today. No estimates have yet been prepared of the amount of money which the event will realize but it will far exceed the receipts of any prvious fair and will come close to reach ing the $10,000 mark.

Charles Hammersmith, a brakeman at the Minnesota transfer, was thrown from a moving car Thursday afternoon, re ceiving severe injuries. He was on top of a freight car, which was shunted down a sidetrack with greater speed than usual, and, as the car struck a string of empties standing on the siding, the shock loosened his hold on the brake and he was thrown. He fell striking heavily on his right shoulder. A physician was called, and he was taken to his boarding house. An examination showed a broken shoulder blade and severe bruises.
