VALUATIONS ARE TOO HIGH
l HEAVY DEAL IN WHISKY.
Conditions of the transaction
Give Rise TO IL Pulling Ques-
tiGn of Law.

The Northwestern Fuel company
yesterday protested to the board OF
equaliza ton against the valuati of
$l7.115 placed Oh its property. The re-
turn made by the officers was $t6,315,
and why the $500 was added seemed
to puzzle them. Assessor Seng said
it was a coal shed, but the officers
said that all the coal sheds were in
cIuded in the returns made by the
company. Mr., Seng then moved that
the assessment be rebated $500, which
was done.
L. c. Wedelstaedt said he was as
sessed for a house on Holly avenue
that he had sold prior to May l,
though it had not yet been moved off
his lot. Mr.. Seng thought Mr.. Wedel-
staedt would have to pay the taxes,
but the matter was referred to a
committee for consideration.
j. p. Christophel had complaint
to make because his assessment had
been raised from $500 to $1,1OO for the
stock of dry goods in his store on
Rice street. He admitted that he had
a, stock of about 50 20O but said that
business was so poor that he could
not stand it to pay taxes on the valu-
alton made by the assessor. The mat
ter was referred to the same com
mittee.
A protest was entered in behalf Of
Fred Richter, as guardian of little
seVen-year-old child named Myrtle
Lulling. 1t seems that Richter has
custody Of a fund of 81, 800 that is to
be devoted to the education of the
little one when she becomes old
enough, and he thinks it should not
be taxed. The matter was referred
to a special committee to consult with
the county attorney.
BIG DEAL IN WHISKY.
Joseph Matz, a saIoonlseeper on Rice
street, was indignant because his as
sessment had been raised from S7OO
to Sl4, 100. He could not understand
the reason for such an awful in
crease.
Assessor Seng explained that notice
had been sent by the, assessor of
Hennepin county that Mr. Matz had
purchased, prior to May l, some 4. GOO
gallons of whisky in Minneapolis.
Matz replied that the whisky was
in bond. and did not belong to him
but to the government until such
NiliiC e1F7 itC itItSilIttl II. II was only
worth 1215 cents a gallon anyhow, he
said.
The question then arose as to where
the property should be assessed if
the owner lived in St Paul and the
goods were in bond in MINNEAPOLIS
The matter was referred to a special
committee to confer with the county
attorney.
A member of the firm of Weiss &
Co. wanted to know what had been
done with their protest, and when
told that their assessment had been
allowed to stand, on the recommends
ton of a special committee, he said
1t was a great injustice and contem-
plated an action in court to get relief.
He admitted that his return of 81 GOO
was too small by 5000, but to double
1t was an outrage. When asked how
much insurance his firm carried he
said he could not remember. The
board refused to reconsider it's former
action in the matter
An adjournment was taken until 2
o'clock today

But Only by Majority of Nine
teen Points.

,Gruber's room was packed to the
doors last evening to see the final
game in the 6o0-ball pool match be-
tween Malone and Gruber, and the
large audience was treated to a Won
-derful exhibition of pool playing, the
match finally going to the champion
by l9 points. AT the end of the first
hundred Malone led his plucky an
tagonist by fifty balls and increased
his lead to sixty in the next two
frames. Then Gruber got down to
work, and by a very pretty exhibition
of all-around play steadily gained on
the champion and passed him at the
160 mark. During this squirt he made
a run of SO, which is the record for
the match.
Malone then settled down and by
runs Of Is, IA and u won out, leaving
Gruber Is to the bad in the nights
play and 10 behind on the total. The
summary of the three nights is as
follows:
Malone, 200, 2OO 200; total, 600.
Gruber, 1S3, 213, 1856; total, 5S1
In speaking of the match Malone
said: mo one can give Gruber any
odds at the game, and with more
experience he would give D'Oro, Clear
water or myself all that we could do
to beat him. He is certainly a faster
man than Carney" Malone will re-
main in town for few days, and goes
from here to Duluth to fill an en-
Sagement with Hatley.

PLUMBERS ARE PLANNING
For Better Laws to Govern Suni-
tary Work in BuiIdin.s.

The organization of the Minnesota
Master Plumbers association was
practically completed yesterday at the
rooms of the local association in the
McQuillan block, on the corner of
s Third and Wabasha streets. Dele
gates from nearly all the principal
cities of the state were present, rep
resenting some seventy-f1ve plumbing
firms. The delegates were in session
all day, and in the evening they elect
ed officers for the ensuing year. The
election resulted as follows:
President, w. P. Hudner, of st.
Paul; vice president, W. w. Mcmillan,
of Duluth; secretary j. H. Shea, of
st. Paul; treasurer, H. Kelly, of Min
neapoliS.
The principal object in forming a
state organiza ton is to secure legis-
lation which will require improved
sanitary conditions in all buildings,
thereby benefiting the owners of prop
erty and encouraging a better grade
of plumbing than has usually pre-
vailed. The associat ton will hold an
other session today for the purpose of
appointing the necessary standing
committees and disposing of other
details required to perfect the organ
ization. This evening a banquet will
be rendered the visitors by the local
association.

ZIRKELBACH,s FUNERAL.
A Large TurnOut-The FamiI,
Left without Means


Left without Means.
Yesterday afternoon the body of the
late Police Sergeant John U. Zirkel-
bach was laid to rest in Oakland ceme-
terry. Brief religious services were held
at the little home of the dead man, on
Yankee street, Rev. c. G.. Reynolds be-
ing the officiating minister A large
gathering of friends and neighbors,
young and old, attested the respect in
which the Zirkelbach family is held
Many policemen in uniform attended,
and a delegation from I. o. o. T.
Lodge No. = was also present 1t had
been announced in the press that the
Odd Fellows would have charge of the
funeral, but such was not the case
consequently the lodge was not out in
a body.
At the conclusion of the religious
services the casket was borne to the
hearSe by three officers of the police
department and three Odd Fellows, all
old-time friends of>deceased. Mrs. Zir-
kelbdch was almost overcome by grief
and her brother, Hon. A. Schaefer of
Adrian, had to assist her bodily to the
carriage. The funeral cortege was
headed by a platoon of mounted police,
with a detail of uniformed officers on
foot. Acting Chief O'Connor and other
department officers attended in car
riages. Resting on the casket were
some beautiful floral pieces, among
them a large shield from the police de-
partment and a pillow bearing the
word Papa"
The hints of suicide that have been
floating about are cruel and unkind
when the facts are stated. Sergt. Zir-
kelbach was a man who loved his fam
lily dearly and would never have left
them unprovided for if he had con-
templated Self-destrUction. He did not
carry one dollars worth of life insur-
ance, except the $500 from the Po-
licemen'S Mutual Benefit association.
In years past he, had been insured, but
the policies were allowed to lapse. 1t
is hardly likely, either, that he would
have drowned himself without leaving
a line or q word for his loved ones.
As it is, the family is left in straitened
circumstances, and something will un-
doubtedly be done for them. One man
voiced the general sentiment when he
said to a G | o b e reporter: John Zir-
kelbach has deserved we'll of st. Paul.
In the days of the old volunteer fire de-
partment he was one of the most gal
liant members and was always in the
forefront of the fight to save property
and lives. Since becoming q police Of
ficer he had made a fine record, too,
and never allowed fear or self-interest
to Swerve him from the line of duty"

HEAVY TEA SHIPMENT,
Over SEQ Caddies Sent Out Yester-
day by the Kelly COmuany.


day by the Kelly Company.
Tuesday a heavy shipment of Japan
teas came in over the Northern Pa
cffic, for the Kelly Mercantile compa-
NY, from Tacoma, whence it had come
direct from Hioga and Yokohama. The
tea was all of this years crop-Royai
Chop-and such was the advance de-
mand that the company yesterday sent
out the greatest number of caddieS of
tea that ever left St. Paul in one day.
Upwards of 500 cases were hauled from
the firms warehouse to the depots. to
be shipped to many parts of Mime
sofa, the Dakotas Montana, Iowa and
Wisconsin. When placed on the side
walk preparatory to being shipped the
caddies occupied the walk for the bet
ter part of block and attracted good
deal of attention.
AT an estimate of $50 a package, and
the value could not nave been less it
will be realized that the shipment made
yesterday by the Kelly company means
a large sum of money; and it means,
too, that the merchants are preparing
to meet increased demands for high
class goods this fall. This is true not
only Of the staples, but of everything
else. A brief trip in the wholesale
section showed the employees of all the
big concerns busily at work getting
out orders and shipping goods. From
this time on until late in the fall there
will be little or no let-up in the rush
at the wholesale houses, although the
business will increase with every pass
ing day. Indications are that the st.
Paul wholesale houses will all do a
largely increased business as soon as
the crops are safe.

Of the appointment of officer Matt
Young, of the Rondo street station.
Officer Young has been on the force
for many years, and has proved a
capable and efficient man. In view of
the fact that it is quite likely that a
German will be appointed to succeed
the dead sergeant, and Young being
of that nationality, his chances are
quite favorable
