— a ~~ cee — STREET CARWRECK TWENTY PERSONS INJURED IN A REAR-END COLLISION AT ST. PAUL. TEN IN A SERIOUS CONDITION MOTORMAN DID NOT SEE THE CAR AHEAD UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE. HURLED PEOPLE RIGHT AND LEFT CAR PLOWED ITS WAY HALF: THROUGH THE TRAILER OF FIRST TRAIN. . Paul, Sept. 9—A rear-end col- m on the street railway about a le and a half from Fort Snelling at 11 o'clock last night resulted in the injury of twenty people, ten of them striously, who were taken to the city hospital. Two cars were damaged to the extent of $1,000. Two small cars, motor and trailer, had pulled out of Fort Snelling about five minutes ahead of one of the large cars. The trolley pole of the first car broke at Hamline avenue, the cars came to a stand-still and the lights were extinguished. The large car, under the charge of Motorman Doty, was approaching at a lively rate about two blocks behind the forward cars. The motorman did not seee that the ears ahead had stopped until it was too late to avert a collision. The large car struck the trailer of the first train with terrific force and plowed its way half-way through the car, Hurling Passengers into the street from both sides of the car, tearing away the rear platform and half a dezen seats on both sides. Motorman Doty did not see the train ahead of him until he was upon dt. He reversed the current suddenly and the shock threw the fourteen pas- sengers-on the large car out of their seats into the aisle. All were slightly bruised. Conductor Sorenson was at the head of the car collecting fares and he fell near the rear door. His right arm was bruised, but not seri- ously. The city hospital ambulance and the military ambulance at Fort Snelling were called out and those most seriously injured were taken to the city hospital. Most of-the others were taken to the hospital on the cars. The wounds of the ten most seriously injured were dressed and placed in beds at-the hospital. Dr. A. B. Anker, city physician, says that all of the pa- tients will probably’ recover. RESCUED BY LIFE SAVERS. Party on’Pleasure Yacht Caught in a Squall Off Racine.

Old-Time Printer of West Superior Is Asphyxiated. West’ Superior, Wis., Sept. 9—J. W. Walton,.an old-time printer of this city, was asphyxiated here yesterday morning. ‘He retired about 4 o’clock, after working during the night, and was found dead yesterday morning in his room, which was full of gas.

Husband Shoots Heyrather and Takes Away His Young Bride. Oskaloosa, Iowa, Sept. 10.—George Gabel, a farmer living twelve miles northwest of here, was shot yesterday morning by his son-in-law, Marion Jones, aged twenty-three, who fired three loads from a shotgun at him. Ga- bel has a bad wound in the fact and neck and may die. Jones married fit- teen-year-old Carrie Gabel eight weeks ago and came to Oskaloosa. Her par- ents persuaded the girl to return home, but allowed the boy to see his wife. Jones decided to take his bride away and quarreled with the elder Gabel. Jones had a shotgun. Gabel drew a revolver and shots were exchanged, despite the interference of bystanders. Gabel fell at the last shot, arose, went into the house, followed by Jones, who took his girl wife away to his father’s house, a mile distant. He made no at- tempt to get away or to resist arrest. Jones was brought to Oskaloosa. His girl wife has returned home to nurse Greatest Exposition Ever Held in Min- nesota. The largest state fair ever held in America was concluded Saturday evening with the closing of the gates on the forty-third annual Minnesota fair. Both in the variety and number of exhibits, in the receipts and general interest, the fair far exceeded any ever held on this continent. © The records of the superintendent of gates show that 45,000 more people attended the fair this year than in 1901, which had broke all previous records. But for the cold, rainy weather Friday, it is believed the at- tendance for the week would have been a round quarter of a million. The official figures show an increase as compared with the same day of last year for every day except Friday, which was rainy and threatening this year, but was bright and clear last her father. year. Despite the weather the de- ficiency on that day is only a few hun- HOUSES BLOWN OVER. dred. General admission is as follows: 1902. 1901.

Shade trees suffered, branches a foot through being broken off. The wind has put a stop to threshing for the time being. Shocks are badly scattered and some of the stacks have suffered. If no rain follows the wind will be a good thing for the farmers whose grain was wet by the recent rains, as the air is very dry. The wind is north; the tempera- ture is dropping, and frost is probable if the wind goes down and the air be- comes clear. ¥ i x Estimated. The grandstand patronage was also gratifying, and the figures prepared by the management show that the at- tendance at night was much larger than the general admissions at night, showing that many remained on the grounds from the afternoons. » The financial side of the fair cannot be fully known for several days, as there is much in this line still to be done. Secretary Randall estimates, however, that with the $38,000 balance of last year, the receipts for this year will be about $175,000. The expenses of the fair will be about $100,000, leav- ing a balance in the treasury of about $75,000. Saturday was a busy day about the secretary and trea_urer’s office. All premiums were paid as fast as the vouchers were presented. The pre- miums are paid for the most part in cash, and checks are mailed to those that do not call for their money the first of the week. All the employes of the fair were also paid, and the super- intendents were busy during the lat- ter part of the afternoon and early evening preparing payrolls. The list of employes comes near the 1,000 mark. The work of checking up the finances of the fair will occupy sev- eral days, as all the bills will not come in at once. The returns from the rail- road coupons sold have not yet been made, and the number of coupons taken in has not been checked up. The board will make no plans for permanent improvements on the grounds until after a complete finan- cial statement is possible. The need of improvements of a. most extensive character was made more evident than ever at the recent fair. Every department was crowded for room, and it is proposed to make the fair larger and better than ever next year, and still more room will be needed. “The people will‘ soon begin to ap- preciate that this is the greatest fair in the country,” said President Cos- grove yesterday. “It is so located that it should be the greatest. Illinois has built up a splendid fair, and has spent $450,000 in new buildings within the past three years in a city of less than 100,000 people. With a half-million of people at hand we should have even better buildings than Illinois, for we will have a larger attendance than can ever be built up in a smaller place. Attendance at the Minnesota fair in- creases each year, and provision for permanent buildings of inereased size must be made soon.” Houston county gets first place on county exhibits; Wabasha, second; Olmsted, third; Blue Earth, fourth; Dakota, fifth; Goodhue, sixth; Stearns, seventh; Aitkin, eighth; Stevens, ninth; Beltrami, tenth; Pine, eleventh, and Itasea, twelfth. AN EMBRYO HIPPOPOTAMUS. La Crosse Workman Finds a Queer Kind of Eyeless Animal. La Crosse, Wis., Sept. 10.—Bert Stu- dent of this city found in a well he was repairing a nest of the most pe- culiar animals. He captured one and put it in alcohol. It is about three inches long, cream color, with black markings about a quarter of an inch long all over the!body. In shape it re- sembles a “miniature hippopotamus, with its legs sawed off close to the pody. From the mov*h two forks of a spindle tongue protrude, and with this the animal feels its way about. It has no eyes, indicating that it is a species that lives in caves or other dark places. Just what the animal is and how it got there is a mystery, for it is evidently miles from its regular place of abode. a THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS Or Unpleasant Incidents During Young Roosevelt’s Hunt in South Dakota. Winona, Minn., Sept. 10.—General Agent A. C. Johnson of the North- western road has returned from a hunting trip of a week with Teddy Roosevelt, Jr., and officials of the Northwestern road west of here. He declares the reports sent out that he was accidentally shot in the hat by young Roosevelt and that the farmers interfered with the shooting of the party are absolutely without founda- tion. There was no accident of any kind nor a single unpleasant incident to mar the trip. The hunting was ex- cellent and Young Roosevelt is a good shot and a perfect gentleman in every sense.

Fourth Minnesota Veterans Refuse to Return Standards Captured From Mississippians. Veterans of the old Fourth Minne- sota regiment which fought with con- spicuous gallantry in the Civil war, have decided to retain the two battle flags of the Thirty-fifth and Thirty- ninth Mississippi regiments, captured at the battle of Altoona Pass, Ga., Oct. 6, 1864. The survivors of these two Southern regiments had made a formal request for the return of the flags, but it was refused by a vote of 26 to 20, the matter being taken to a vote four times and always with the same re- sult. A resolution was adopted asking the state to appropriate $35,000 for the erection of a Minnesota monument at Vicksburg. The request of the Grant Monument association to have the flag of the Fourth placed in Grant’s tomb temporarily was refused. All three flags are now on exhibition at the state capitol. The Minnesota Veterans’ associa- tion elected the following officers: President, James Hunter, Faribault; secretary, A. P. Connolly, Chicago; corresponding secretary and treasurer, M. R. Prendergast, St. Paul. Veterans of the Tenth Minnesota formally indorsed Commander-in- Chief Torrance’s suggestion that the Grand Army should contribute to the support of Southern homes for the care of old Confederates. B. F. San- born was elected president; F. W. Knapp, vice president, and M. R. Prendergast, secretary and trez}surer. The Ninth regiment elected W. E. Williams, Minneapolis, president, and W. B. Dean, St. Paul, secretary and treasurer» A banquet was held at the Metropolitan hotel, St. Paul, at which Gov. Van Sant delivered an address. The Fifth regiment listened to an address from Archbishop Ireland and elected H. B. Dyke president; Charles Stauff, vice president, and Herman Muehlenberg, secretary and treasurer. The Sixth regiment selected Col. William Crooks of Portland, Or., pres- ident; H. B. Wilson of Red Wing, Rob- ert Hutchinson of Faribault and O. C. Merriman of Minneapolis, vice presi- dents, and J. P. Lightner, St. Paul, sec- retary and treasurer. The First Minnesota, with only fif- teen veterans present, named Col. William Pfaender president, and H. C. Shepard secretary and treasurer. STATE CLAIMS BOOKS. It Is Held That Publishers’ Gifts to Normal School Presidents Belong to the Institutions. The state board of control has de- cided not to drop the matter of the books received by the presidents of the state normal schools in their ca- pacity as members of the state library board. The normal board washed its hands of the matter by deciding not to have anything to do with it. The board of control decides, however, that if the normal board will not compel the res- toration of the books to the state, it will take the matter up for adjudica- tion, if no other settlement can be ar- rived at. The question came up through the offer of Former President Kleeberger of St. Cloud to sell to the normal board a lot of books he had received while a member of the library commit- tee, from different publishing houses. Both the president and secretary of the normal board approved the offer, but when it came to the board of con- trol an investigation was begun. The board concluded that the books were not given to the presidents, but belonged to the schools. It secured statements from the publishers that books were intended for the state and not for the presidents, and submitted the matter to the attorney general. Attorney General Douglas gave an opinion that the books are/the property of the state. The board then referred the matter: to the state normal board, with the suggestion that it secure the return of this property. The normal board refused to take the matter up, but the board of control will not aban- don the contest. RECORDS AGAIN BROKEN. State Fair Attendance Beats Even the Mlinois Fair. St. Paul, Sept. 6. — Accustomed as they are to record smashing, the state fair management was hardly prepared for the results of yesterday. The at- tendance each day has exceeded the corresponding day last year, but yes- terday a new mark was set, not only .for the Minnesota fair, but for all such expositions. The unofficial count last night, based on estimates made at each gate from the showing of the turnstiles, indicated that 58,000 people had passed within the gates. This is a bigger day even than the Illinois fair has ever had. The high record until this year was 43,000. Treasurer Wilcox had in his strong box last night enough money-to pay all the expenses of the fair and a com- fortable margin beside, so that the re- ceipts for to-day and to-morrow will be profit, which will form a surplus that will be used during the fall and next spring in making improvements in the grounds. President Cosgrove felt assured last night that the fair would yield at expenses.
