From the Burlington Hawkeye.
He was busy man and she was a society
woman. One evening he suddenly looked
up from his paper and said: ''By the way,
didn't we have baby in this house about the
time Midland Broad gauge went up to 9Sr'
YES she said, "Oscar was born the night
of the Everingham reception" ''Boy, was
it?' he said with a show of interest. II had
forgotten; must be about seven months old
by this time Where is he?' She touched
a bell, servant appeared, ana she ordered
Oscar to be brought into the presence of his
sire. Instead of whom the weeping nurse
appeared alone, and with many tears con-
fessed that the infant Oscar had been kid
mapped in the park six weeks before, and
that the most careful search, aided by adver-
tisements in the daily papers, had thus far
failed to reveal his whereabouts. Thus we
see that wealth is no barrier to sorrow, and
into the BONES of the rich and the great
trouble creeps with its stealthy tread, and
sometimes breaks up whole evening of enc
joyment.

committee from the workingmen at any time
that might be fixed upon. He had hardly
/ become seated when j. A. johnson Of st.
Paul made a statement that in ten years
hard on to $500. 900 had been appropriated
Eby the legislature to keep the contract labor
lat the penitentiary at Saltwater running, and
claimed that thus it had taxed the people
for running private enterprise to
enter into competition with themselves.

Mr.. Delano believed that convicts should

terere the least with the products of the
workingmen of the state.
Representative Evans arose and said that
this legislature was inclined to deal fairly and
justly with this question, but the present
| contractors for convict labor at Saltwater had
two years. longer term before their lease
would expire, and besides that when this
contract was entered into on the part of the
state it was made to cover a lease
of the buildings and machinery, which the
people of the state had been taxed to pay
Tor. and which in fact competed with every
manufacturer of the same kind of goods

An FngIishman in Distress.

It viii be remembered that a young En-
glishman named Samuel Way was found at
the union depot few weeks ago in a de-
mented condition, having in his possession
a through ticket to New York, and papers
showing that ne had just arrived here from
British Columbia. He was taken in charge
by the police, placed in the county jail
ana a complaint of insanity lodged
against him in the probate court,
but before the case could be heard he was
taken so i'll that be was removed to the city
hospital. Yesterday British Vice Consul Ire
herne called on Gov. Hubbard with Secretary
Hart of the state board of corrections and
charities, and laid the case Of this English
gentleman before him, asking that he be cared
for at the insane asylum at ST. Peter until
his English relatives could be correspondent
with aud measures taken to secure his re-
moval 10 that country. Letters found on
Way show that he is very respectfully con-
nected in England, and that his relatives
have been writing to him lately in an urgent
manneI, asking him 10 come home, saying
that he could be better cared for there than
anywhere else. 4 receipt was also found on
his person for four weeks board at an In q
sane asylum in British columbia. Gov.
Hubbard has written to superintendent
Bartlett Of the asylum at st. Peter asking
his temporary harboring at that institution.

A CONDUCTORS viCIssITUDEs.
The Way TO Deaf With Spoilers.


Many laughaple Incidents are told of the
checkered career of Conductor Anderson on
the Minneapolis 81 st. Louis road. At one
time when conductor on the Montana divi-
sion of the Northern Pacific road, over a
year ago, he slugged an attache of prom
lnent hotel in st Paul where he was spend
ing his vacation. The reason given
for the assault to Judge Burr
was that the hotel man had been too
free in bis attentions to Anderson's wife.
The judge fined him S10 and as the fine was
read to him he says, "Judge l will pay you
$50 If you will only send this man west of
the Missouri"
But there was something in store for the
conductor he little expected. When he went
back TO Montana he heard that
spotter had been along the
line, and number of the conductors
were being discharged for knocking down. "
He did not take long to consider what to do,
but sent in his resignation and went with the
Mnnea polls 6 st. Louis company. 1t was
one night some months after that the spotter,
who was in Montana, got on his train, a
freight on which the orders prohibited pas
sengers from riding. Anderson did not say
a word to him, until he reached lonely
place near Albert Lea, where there was not a
station on either side for near ten miles
Then he stopped the train and gave the spot
ter's baggage a kick in the ditch, and took
the spotter himself by the coat collar and
slung him after it. When he arrived at
Minneapolis he went to the superintendent
and said:
81 found spotter on my train near Al
Der, Lea and / kicked him and his baggage
off, and now l want to resign" The super
tendent looked up. rather pleased and said
there was no necessity for resigning, as the
company was in need Of such men. He was
transferred TO passenger train.

The deceased accompanied Mr.. Gilbert
butcher, when be came to St. Paul to open
the Metropolitan hotel twelve or fourteen
years ago. He was about - or 90 years of
age, and so far as known had no family. He
remained at the Metropolitan as store
keeper for a number OF years, and
did not leave till about the time
Mr.. Culver died. It Is thought
that he must have been pretty well off at the
time of bis death. as be was 4 very economi-
cal man aud had no expensive habits, aud
was always in the habit Of putting all the
money he could command into building as

as any one here knows. He had little TO say

ally kept away from people.

weather were removed. The bottom timbers
have not been touched, but the ice was cut
away and the sides are wholly new. Some
Improvements also have been made in its
construction, and the 50, 500 which it will
cost will be money well spent. The BRIDGE
committee has done its work well. and the
citizens and travelling public will not be afraid
to cross the pontoon as they were last fall.
The attendance yesterday afternoon at the
meeting of the Relief society was not as full
as expected, and it was impossible to make
out statement Of what has been done so far.
but the statement will be ready in a day or
two. The ladies who could not attend were
engaged at church meetings. There have
been few new applications for relief, and
several of them who had been obtaining it
are now off the lists. Female apparel is
what is most required and any having such
articles to spare would confer a favor by
letting some member of the committee know
where to send for them. The society has
done noble work, and the report will show
this plainly.
Early yesterday morning residents on
South Main street, ia the neighborhood of
the Farmers home, were startled by piercing
yells. 1t appears that lodger had been i'm

delirium tremens, and imagining that he
was pursued by his satanic majesty and SER
penis he had left his room, barefooted and
with little apparel, and making for the street
made night hideous with his conflict. He
fought the police, but was safely landed at
the city hall. Last night he was quite ra-
tional.

The engagement of the Grace Hawthorne
company came to a close at the Grand last
night, the play being "Frou-Frou," which
proved the most delightful and artistic per-
Torrance of the series. Miss Hawthorne was
seen at her very best, and her pleasing per-

AMEs' CASE.
What the Wife of the Deceased Has 90
Say AbOut HI,

In response to telegram announcing her
husbands death, Mrs. Ames, the widow of
VIM. o. Ames, who died while being taken TO
Boston to answer to charge of forgery, arriv-
cd in this city Wednesday night. Mrs Ames
says that she and Mr.. Ames were married
about one year ago, and since that time they
have lived in different parts Of the country.
Some time was spent in Florida, and last sum-
mer they were at Old Orchard For the last
five months they have lived at Locke's Mills.
Mrs. Ames claims that she first learned of her
husbands dishonesty upon her arrival here.
She supposed that Hon W. L. Putnam had
charge OF his affairs, bat Mr.. Putnam knows
nothing of the man.
1t is said that Ames was opca an insnactor of
police in Boston. He was supposed to own TO-
600 acres OF land in Maine, Michigan and
SPAIN In regard to the property Mrs. Ames
says that no traces of policy of $40, 900 on her
husbands life and $50 900 worth OF property
can bs found Mr.. Ames was Mason
Undertaken A. j. Rich, Who has the body in
charge, will place it in the receiving tomb
here.
Mrs. Ames told Mr. Rich that her husband
was son of the well known plow manufac-
turer Oakes Ames of Massachusetts. She said
the reason they lived at Lockes Mills was be-
cause her husband owned large block of land
at the Rangeley Lakes which he wished to dis
pose Of, and Mr.. Kelly who accompanied her
to thisicity from Lockes Mills, was negotiating
with him for that property. She said her hus-
Dand was also a connection of 1t. Governor
Ames OF Massachusetts, and had very rich
brother at Chattanooga, Tenn. She said her
husbands title OF major came from his twenty
six years service in the United States Secret
Service. She says her husband has six trunks
stored in vault in Massachusetts,, and that
probably his will and all his deeds and other
papers are deposited there,
