Should the City Purchase the Water
Works!

The following article has been submitted
to us, and we think is worthy of careful
perusal and consideration:
In view of the fact that the resident por-
ton of our city demands fire protection,
which would demand about ten or fifteen
additional hydIants, would it not be wise
for the city to purchase the water works?
We understand that at the present rate of
taxation the city cannot afford to increase
the number of hydrants more than four,
and there is no provision in the present con-
tract with the Water Company for the re-
moval of any hydrant when once located
by the Council or Street Committee, and
fur hydrants would afford little or no
protection TO the resident portion Of the
city. Twelve additional MIGRANTS would
be REQUIRED and would cost the city 5000
per annunn, which added to the present
contract Of $1,000. would be an annual rem
tai of $500 per annum. The city cannot
afford this, so let rs sec If we can't get
more hydrants for less money. Let the
CITY buy the water works. Their present
income is about $1,000 per Rnunm. while
their total expense for operating them in
cluding interest on the bonds. is about
5000. leaving q profit Of 5000 per an
mum. Now the city can buy these works
by issuing boads and the income frcm

Coroner Deikay OF He'd Wing Look
ing Up a Suspected Poisoning.

Coroner Dekay OF He'd Wing Look.
ing Up suspected Poisoning.
Coroner W. W. Dekay of Goodhue
county went to Minneapolis yesterday to
confer with Prof. Dodge, state chemist,
about eXhuming the body of the wife of
Anton Katzerski, and Analysing the con-
tents of the Stomdch, to ascertain if her
death was the result of poison. Prof.
Dodge being away, Mr.. Dekay concluded
to see Prof. Sidener, who lives at Red Wing.
The body will probably be exhumed day.
and the contents of the stomach will be
taken out before the prosecuting attorney
and other witnesses, and taken to the state
university for analysis.
Anton Katzerski is now in confinement
at Red Wing, bound over to the grand jury
which meets in October on suspicion of
having poisoned his wife. who died in agony
on the morning of February 90. He is As
years old, and with his wife lived in section
&, Goodhue county. An adopted daughter
aroused suspicion by telling the neighbors
that her mother died in agony. Katzerski
was arrested, and upon examination it was
found that he pureha sed strychnine at E. M.
Parker's drug store, and the symptoms of
strychnine poisoning were very strong. His
wife, it is said. was in the habit of drinking
whisky, and took her customary dram that
morning. 1t is stated that Katzerski,
became infatuated with a young girl in the
neighborhood, and it was suspected that he
poisoned his wife that he might marry her.
Coroner Dekay is conducting the matter
very quietly

TRANSPORTATION TOPICS.
The Freight War.

The situation in the freight war which
has bean referred to in these columns, is
becoming more serious day by day. Though
no open cut has yet been made by any of
the roads, it is well known to railroad men
that all the lines between Chicogo and
Council Bluffs are making rates far below
the agreed tariff rates. This secret cutting
is becoming so serious that not only is the
business beyond Omaha, and the Colorado
freight being thoroughly demoralized, but
freights this side are also upset. 1t is re-
ported that parties are shipping west to
Omaha and that the goods are rebiIled from
that point, and it is feared this will have the
effect of breaking up the Southwestern
association. To prevent this Commissioners
Mdgley is to send an agent to Omaha and
if it is found that the goods are being
shipped to Omaha and rebiied local rates
will be charged upon such freight and &C
counted for in settling up the Colorado
pool balances. This is a part of the trouble
mentioned few days ago as having caused
a meeting Of freight agents to be held here.
They could not accomplish anything and so
adjourned without touching the live stock
rates between Iowa, Minnesota and Da-
kOta.

Pir5abIc Condition of a.Young Girl
Who Has Beon Betrayed.
In Mrs. Durocher's modest residence on
Market street, between Third and Fourth,
IS pretty, blonde young woman. whose
distress is pitiable. Her name is said to be
Annie Rochey, but she has been going
under the assumed name of Miss Pinkham.
She is the mother Of diminutive babe, with
the paternity of which she charges her
brather-in-law. He lives at St. Cloud.
The girls parents live about seven miles
from Alexandria, Mimi, and last summer,
she SAYS, she left home to pay visit to her
sister in ST. Cloud. She alleges that while
living at his home, in August, her brother
in-law, wronged her. When he discerned
her condition he decided to send her
10 ST. Paul. and provide her with
money enough to pay the expenses
of mother and child. She came April 5,
and paid for two weeks board. He wrote
to her several times, and twice since she
rame he sent her money, once S26, and
again So. Then he stopped writing or
sending any more money. Mrs. Durocher
has his letters. The miserable young wo-
man did not know what to do. for she was
in too delicate condition to work. She APP
l,eaIed to her sister by letter for assistance,
but no answer came. No one took pity
upon her, and her iandlady could not at
ford to keep her without some compensa-
ton There was no other prospect. it
seemed, than life of shame. Eventually,
however, she concluded to go to the munich
pal court. and get warrant for the arrest
pf her brotiier-in-law for bastardy. 1t was
found that the parties were non-residents,
and no warrant could be issued.
DR.. j. c. Markoe. who has attended her.
and County Attorney Egan have the case
i'll hand. and will try every possible legal
method TO bring the author Of her unhappi
ness to justice. The girls brother-in-law
denies the charge and says that some one
else must be the child's father.

AT THE HOTELS.
Guests of a Day.-Their Views and
Opinions.


Register of the Land Office Mcdonald of St.
Cloud was in the city yesterday. He said that
he thought there was no question but that
Knute Nelson, the present congressman from
the Fifth district, would be renominated by
the Republicans at their coming convention
at Brainerd. While he thought there was a
great deal of opposition to him among certain
sections it was not united, and would not,
therefore, make much of show in the con-
vention. The Duluth Republicans, he said.
were opposed to Nelson's denomination, but
they were unable to unite on any man, and
hence could not expect any material assist
ance from other parts of the district.
He had heard the name of r. E. 'Efazee of
Frazee City mentioned as the mostavailable
candidate for the Democrats to put up against
Mr.. Nelson, but was not prepared TO say
whether Mr.. FraZee would consent to make
the run or not. II such decision was ar
rived at and Frazee got in the fight Mr. Nc
Donald was of the opinion that he would make
as good a contest for the place as any Demo
crat in the whole district. Mr.. Frazees pop
ularity throughout the district was well estab-
lished by the complimentary votes received
at the time he was running on the Democratic
state ticket as a candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor. Referring to the state campaign. Mr..
Mcdonald said that he had heard many
names mentioned as candidates for
the head of the Democratic ticket, but had
Democratic mayor of that city, would make
strong run for the place. With the proper
ticket in the field, he thought that the Demo-
Gratis had every reason to think that with
proper effort the nominees might be success
full.
Capt. Alex. Griggs, Grand Forks. was an
hotel arrival. He is chairman of the Dakota
railway and warehouse commission, and was
On his way to the southern part of the terri
tory for the purpose of investigating certain
complaints that had been filed during the past
few weeks by the residents of that portion of
the territory. He was accompanied by Judge
