are
and
If present plans materialize, decided
Improvements will be made to Indian
I Mounds park be-fore anoti'er year passes.
These improvements have be.en made pos
sible by the acquisition of an additional
thirty acres of ground, and include fea
tures that will make this natural beauty
spot one of the most famed in the Noith-
I west.
While largely on paper, and yet suf
ficiently discussed to make it a possibil
ity, the most unique teature proposed
for Indian Mounds park is a miniature
electric railway or belt line by which
visitors desirous of visiting the hatch
eries would be relieved of the tortuous
climb and trip down hill to reach them.
At first a roller coaster skirting the
bluffs was proposed, but the park board
has come to the conclusion that an elec
tric line would be the most feasible and
profitable, and accordingly is now hav
ing rough plans prepared. The cost of
such a line is placed at $25,0' X), but the
patronage it would receive, enthusiasts
are positive, would see It paid for in a
short time. Its future operation would
j be a profit.
When the thirty acres which have been
I bargained for and on which the board
I has an option are fully in possession of
the board, a broad driveway will skirt
the entire grounds, including the hatch
eries. In the improvement of the hatch
ing grounds, which were secured for the
.state through St. Paul enterprise, the
state fish commission will spend about
$15,000 in improvements, which will be
made under the direction of the St. Paul
park board. These Improvements wJll
include driveways, walks, the planting:
of flowers and additions to the buildings.
Pavilions and seats will also be installed
all over the grounds. The present pools
are unsightly looking affairs, and they
will be supplanted with others of a more
artistic finish. An immense fountain j
with a basin for fish is also proposed.
Another park that will receive substan.
tial improvements will be Phalen park,
which at present has no street car serv
ice. According to the plans under con
sideration by the board this park will
bo turned into one large play ground in
which amusements of an innocent nature
will be allowed.
Como park is one of the prettiest spots
in the Northwest, but it is so surrounded
with restrictions that as a play ground
it is a failure. While proper restrictions
will prevail at Phalen park it Is the in
tention of the board to allow dancing
and furnish other amusements that will
prove interesting and at the same time
add to the exchequer of the board.
The board at present is not over sup
plied with funds, having only sufficient
to carry out the work planned for this
year, but before another year hns pass
ed much of the new improvements con
templated will be carried out.
TO COLONIZE JEWS.
KNIGHTS OF ZION HAVE FOVR OR
GANIZATIONS IN ST. PAIL.
The Knights of Zion now have four

withstanding the threatening ap
pearance of the weather yesterday after
noon fully V>oO Mystic Shriners and
friends went on the excursion up the
Minnesota river, on the steamer Colum
bia. The boat just passed the Omaha
bridge when the storm struck with all
its fury. Haste was made and the boat
was tied to the bank, where it was pro
tected from the wind. As the storm
grew fiercer and the wind howled louder
the spirits of the crowd seemed to in
crease and a good time was the result.
There was no. fainting nor screaming on
the part of the . female contingent and
the . men remained quite cool. . But it
was. an exciting time. . • '../.'
When the storm lulled and the wind
ceased to blow the moorings were once
again loosened and the party started on
the journey up the river. They went to
Hamilton and then returned to St. Paul.
Passing the city they went as far down
the river as South St. Paul, and reached
the city at 11 o'clock, after a pleasant
as veil as exciting day. "I have not
had so pleasant a day for many years,"'
said one who was on the trip,-, and .-that
was an evidence that the excursion was

Pilot Em Miller Crall&ntly Steers His
Boat Ashore With Six Hundred -
. Passengers Pockets . -'■-
Are Picked. "~%*y~
The annual excursion of the Territorial
Pioneers to Taylors Falls yesterday Was
far a«d away the most exciting journey~
essayed by the veterans in recent years.
First, while on the steamer Lora they
were caught in the storm, and for a
time it looked as though the 600 pioneers
would perish in the raging waters. A
ccol-hea<ded pilot, ■:■ however, - extricated
them - from . this danger, and Stillwater
was reached in safety. Here the. old
gentlemen were taken J to ■ see ~ the : state
penitentiary", and while. they were . com- ;
passionately commiserating \ with th*
j hard fate of many of fhose immured
I within he gloomy walls, ■ three smooth
I young men, who accompanied the party
I from , St. Paul, went through the crowd,
I and secured ' a ",• considerate sum of
i money, beside a number of emblems and
| other trinkets. When the news of the_
I robbery was noised around the grizzled
veterans departed for their train pro
foundry impressed with the utility of a
state prison, and with misgivings that
the Stillwater institution was not qu'.te
large enough.
SAVED BY THE PILOT. .
It was a jolly party that left the
unioir depot in the morning on a North-"
crn Pacific special; in the party were
most of the well known members of the
organization, and only, the absence of:
ex-Gov. Ramsey detracted from the
auspiciousness of the occasion, the aged
statesman being afraid to trust himself,
weighted down with the burden of eighty
eight years, to the hardships of what
promised to be a scorching day. There
were enough of the veterans present, i
however, to make the party a thorough
ly representative one and the trip to the
falls was pleasant indeed. After viewing
the splendid scenery in the vicinity of
the falls the journey was resumed on.the
Lora and barge, which started for Still-
I water. Everything went well until at
i Rice lake, about nine miles north of
Still water, the approach of the storm
was noticed. The f excitement was in
tense, but Pilot Ed Miller prepared to
meet it in as favorable a position as
possible, and at the exact moment when
! the tempest struck he faced his boat
to the blast and allowed it to be grad- :
ually driven to the shore. The barge,
which was heavily loaded with pas
sengers, helped to preserve the equilib
rium of the steamer, and, in the opinion
of many, saved it from utter destruction.
Picking his way iwth great skill, the
pilot guided the boat to a spot where
the water was deep, right up to the
bank, and the steamer grounded with a
shock that was almost imperceptible,
her bow crashing through a> number of
trees and a thick underbrush. •
, PICK-POCKETS GET BUSY.
The storm was of brief duration and
the - veterans speedily recovered their
composure. Dancing was resumed, and
the services of three young men, well
dressed and suave of manner, were in
valuable in piloting the feet of the pio
neers through the unaccustomed mazes
of the sprightly two-step. The young
follows became popular, and when Still-'
water was reached they were Invited to
accompany the patty on the trip of in
spection. In front of the state prison a
halt was made, . and while i.he most of
the veterans were admiring the thick- _
ness. of the walls, and remarking on the'
almost ..utter impossibility of escaping
from within, the pockets of Messrs. O.
T. " Swett, Minneapolis, and Charles
Lemme, of St. Paul, were mysteriously
"frisked," the former losing $25 and a
valuable Masonic ' emblem, while from
the pocket of Mr. Lemme was removed
a wallet containing $20. An alarm was
raised, and ex-Chief Doyle, of Minne
apolis, and Michael Daly, the veteran
! detective of this city, who happened, to
be standing quite close to the gentle
men who were robbed,' commenced a
search for the bold robbers who had
ventured to ply heir ignoble calling right
1 in the shadow of the walls of a great
corrective institution. Their efforts were
unavailing, and it was discovered that
several other pioneers had missed
articles of value. The police committee
also made the alarming discovery that
the three genial young gentlemen Who '
had -come in so handy at the had
disappeared, and up to ..he time of the
leaving of the special train for St. Paul
they had failed to rejoin the main body.
The remainder of the trip was with
out-incident and the return to St. Paul
was made in quick time.
Before disembarking, at Stillwater a
meeting.. was held with E. W. Durant
presiding, at which the following resolu
tion was- adopted, commending the of
ficers of the boat for the skill displayed
in handling the boat during the storm:-
We, the Territorial Pioneers of Minne-
sota, and our friends, numbering 600, on
our annual summer excursion, the 2Sth
day of June, 1901, having taken the
Northern Pacific route from St. Paul to
' the Interstate park and . Dalles of the
St. Ctoix,. and now on board of the
steamer Lora and barge Twin Cities, do
unanimously desire to thank all who
have contributed to our comfort and.
pleasure, and do especially wish to thank
Manager C. E. Mosier, Capt. John Kent,
Pilot Ed Miller, Engineer J. W. John
son and the crew of the Lora for their \
courtesy and kindness, and to commend !
them for the courage, coolness and sea- ;
manship displayed during the severe ]
storm encountered on the river. We also j
expressly wish to heartily indorse the |
action of the states of Minnesota and j
Wisconsin in acquiring the Dalles of the
St. Croix as an interstate park reserve. |
And we also express our thanks to Com
missioner George Hazzard for his
thoughtful attention and consideration
throghout the entire trip.

Col. Pike, whose New York address is

warning -against its use was insomnia

and to my distress I discovered that my

permission to lay a spur track In their
anidst is cjpncedjjd. How the people and
property owners! in general feel regard-
Ing the piojeet^is largely a matter of
conjecture^
This fact was demonstrated at the
mass meting- of citizens held at Paul
Martin's JSall on the "West side last night,
a gathering 1 at which 500 probably lent
their presence, being called at the in
stance of Dr. Ohage. who desired to
learn the sentiment existing. The busi
ness men of the ddstrict were largely in ]
evidence and they, as a rule, furnished
the remarks called for.
Elmer E. McDonald, 121 West Congress
street, presided over the meeting, and |
at his eaH a number of' prominent busi
ness men of the ward ascended the pi it
form anTT made remarks, principal among
whom were the members of the West i
Side Improvement association.
The first to furnish his sentiments was
A. K. Pruden, of the St. Paul Cornice
company, a West side institution. Mr.
Pruden reviewed the history of the de
velopment of the We3t side and how the
entrance of the Chicago Great Western
road had given the district, which was
then practically a slough, a boom. He
thought railroads were necessary for the
development of any city, and for that
reason was unqualifiedly in favor of the
spur. The baths he conceded to be a
grand thing, and was sure the Omaha
company would provide safeguards that
would reduce the danger to patrons to
the minimum. The future of the West
side flats, he contended, laid solely with
its industrial development.
F. B. Doran, a prominent member of
the West Side Improvement association,
spoke practicality on the same line as
Mr. Prudetn, except that he thought the
talk of danger to children had been
overdrawn. A track along the levee he
Thought the only feasible plan. As to
a grade crossing over Wabasha street, I
he was opposed. As cne of the main I
arteries to the city it was. dangerous.
WEST SIDE NEEDS IT.
Like those Wiho preceded him, E. S.
Vanish also favored the construction of !
the spur and along the same right of j
way proposed by the railroad company.
He contended that the company had
promised to furnish every safeguard pos
sible, even to stopping trains before the
bath house crossing was reached. The
West side needed it, he said, and no re
strictions should be placed in its way.
Col. J. M. Hawthorne paid a fitting trib
ute to Dr. Ohage for his enterprise in
giving the city free public baths, but
at the same time he favored the spur.
Others who spoke along the same line
were Charles Haas and ex-Aid. Bell. Mr.
Bell w.as of the opinion that the baths
could be protected by the construction
of a pile bridge leading from the Wa
basha street structure to the island.
The meeting was not in the nature of
a protest, but to ascertain the views of
West side citizens and secure if possible
the change of the tracks so that they
would not interfere with the baths. Dr.
Ohage spoke, at length on the project
and went inter detail to show how the
spur would be a detriment to the island.
He said he did not want to be looked
upon as an obstructionist, but simply as
doing" what the Omaha road was doing,
looking to the future. A harbor line and
promises ht said looked nice on paper,
tout past experience sht>wed that they
amounted to little. Such were easily
broken when necessary. He cited the
case of the union depot, showing that the
government had established a harbor line,
yet the tracks were being extended so
as to take in the actual channel. Had
these tracks been contemplated two years
ago he said he would never have built
the baths. Dr. Ohage showed how the
track could be built so as to skirt the
bluffs, and in support of his argument
furnished figures to show that Wabasha
street at the point where the crossing
would be made had less traffic than Rob
ert street or West Seventh, where cross
ings now existed.
While all those who spoke favored the
establishment of the track, a number
favored the incorporation in the ordi
nance granting the company the right of
way of concessions in the way of safe
guards for the public baths and switch
ing rates that would be on an equality
with the rates given shippers on the oth
er side of the river.

MRS. FRANK REIXKR. HRIOE OP
• TWO WEEKS, MEETS WITH
SHOCKING FATE
STARTED FIRE WITH KEROSENE
Flames Envelop Her and Destroy
Clothing; Leaves Her Head
Bald and Flesh Badly
Burned.
Mrs. Frank Reiner, 360 Maple street,
wife of a blacksmith, twenty years of
age and married two weeks ago. started
a fire In her cooking stove with kerosene
late yesterday afternoon and in conse
quence may die.
The accident occurred about 5:30 o'clock
and the rirst that the neighbors knew of
the affair was when a woman, her cloth
ing enveloped, in flames, ran screaming
into the yard. It was only the work
of a moment for parties who had ■been
attracted to the scene to smother the
flames, but not until they had burned
her body and faoe frightfully.
The woman's clothing, especially about
her breast and n-eok, was 'burned to a
crisp, while her head was almost de
nuded of hair. Loosely clothed, owing
to the warmth, the tire had free access
to her boJy, and when released from her
p-erilous position It was found that a
portion of th« flesh had been badly
cooked.
The ambulance took the injured wom
an to St. Joseph's hospital, where her
burns were dressed and eveiry effort
made to relieve her sufferings. She is
in a critical condition and It Is feared
will die.
According to the neighbors, Mrs. Roh
ncr had frequently used kerosene in
starting a fire, but yesterday some 'hot
coals remained in the stove and the
quick generation of gas resulting from
the contact caused the explosion.

TEMBER
WATER FLOWS INTO DEEP CUT
Three Mile* Below Vuribanlt la the
Scene of the Greatest Delay—
Good. Progress at
Rogemont.
As a result of the recent storms, the
Furllngton, Cedar Rapids & Northern
will not be running into St. Paul by Aug.
1. Right of Way Agent Brown was in
the - city yesterday, and he says that
work on the deep cut three miles south
of Faribault has been seriously delayed
by .reason of water flowing in through
its banks, which are 45 feet high and
seem to drain all the water from the
surrounding moist ground. When he
was there last Monday there were two
streams running through the cut, both
of which were almost a foot deep. Day
and night shifts are being kept at work,
and it is expected to complete the cut
by July 20, a- month longer than was al
lowed in the estimate. All the other
work along the line is progressing satis
factorily, the seven miles from Fari
bault to the Milwaukee tracks have been
finished, and ait Rosemont, from where
the road i 3 building to Inver Grove,
rapid headway Is being made. On this
section the deep cut, where the track
goes under those of the Chicago Great
Western, 13 the scene of most of the
work, gangs being kept going all the
time. On an average 13,000 cubic yards
are being removed every twenty-four
hours, a large steam ' shovel working
constantly to keep the two shifts busy.
The grading to Newport has been com
pleted except en portions where the title
to the right of way has not yet been
perfected.
But for the unfortunate delay below
Faribault the road would have ex
perienced no difficulty in reaching this
city on schedule time, and even as it I
is it is hoped that the trains will be run
n'ng in by the first week in September.
I4A.UGII AT THE .MTLL. CITY.
ituilroatl Men Consider M i imp a polls j
Proposition Absurd.
The extraordinary demands made by
the business men of Minneapolis as con*
cessions in return for the vacation of
certain streets in that city for the ben- i
efit of the Omaha railroad, were the sub- j
ject of general comment in railroad clr- f
cles yesterday. On all hands the opinion '
was expressed that it was nothing more j
than straight "bulldozing," and it wa» !
freely predicted that the Omaha manage- j
ment would unhesitatingly refuse to grant |
any 'of the demands which have been I
formulated by the Minneapolis Commer
cial club.
Neither Vice President Clarke nor Gen
eral Manager Scott would discuss the ;
above demands yesterday, on the ground j
that they had not yet been referred to the •
management. Omaha officials generally .
regard the matter as a Joke, especially in j
view of the fact that the company Is |
spending over $80,000 on the local shops, •
this year.
