a number of unoccupied houses, which,
in his opinion. would make admirable
quarters If furnished with cots, and he
thought that they could be secured by
consulting the agent of the property.
Some of those present were quite dis
couraged on account of the small num-
Der present at last nights meeting, and
it was suggested that rallying mass
meeting of the general public to listen
to the reports of the different general
committees would serve to stimulate

was enthusiastically received, and 1t
was voted to ask the citizens commit
tee to arrange for such gathering, to

Pennsylvania Girl Retained q Rep

A Pennsylvania Girl Retained Rep
tile In Her stomach.
New York journal
A year ago last fall Bessie Morga n
returned to her home, at Susquehanna
Pa, after having spent the day gath
ering berries. She complained of pains
in her stomach. Family remedies were
tried in vain, rand the child gradually
grew pale and thin. The family phy-
sician was called in recently, and tried
several experiments that proved Of no
avail. He finally told the girl to fast
for three consecutive days.
At the end of the time specified the
young girl told the doctor that the
pain had increased. and she suffered
from choking sensation. The doctor
he slapped her violently on the back.
She commenced to choke, and then the
doctor forced a pair of pinehers into
her throat and drew forth a snake Of
the garter species that measured nearly
six inches In length. At the sight of
her tormentors the girl tainted, but was
soon restored.
Miss Morgan is inclined to think she
swallowed the snake when it was very
small while she was hastily eating a
handful Of berries. She said, however,
lain down to drink from brook, and
it is believed that IN this way the rep
tile slipped down her throat She was
fully recovered, and no ill-efects are
expected.

DECIDED FOR WIDOW NO. 2.
Famous Remiclxe Estate Case Ended
at Redwood Falls.

REDWOOD FALLS, Mimi, July 30.
Judge of Probate Glenn, of Renville
county, has just decided the celebrated
Remicke estate contest. His decision
is in favor of the petitioner, Matilda
Remicke, with whom the attorney
lived during his later years. and with
whom he had entered into legal mar
riage contract. The contestant, Lottie
Remicke Cole, will undoubtedly appeal
from Glenn's decision giving Matilda
Remicke letters of administration, and
the case is liable to go as far up as
possible before it is settled. The estate
is estimated at 100000.
Charles F. Remicke was Chicago
attorney and acquired property in Chi
cago and in the coal fields of Illinois,
estimated to be worth over $80,O00.
During his residence there he lived
with a woman who became known as
Lottie Remicke, his wife, to whom he
was never legally married. BY her he.
had twins They continued living to-
gether for several years, after which
they separated, whether by mutual
consent or not is not known. Lottie
Remicke took the children.
Remicke then drifted West and set
tied on a farm in Renville county
With his income he purchased a fine
farm of $40 acres in one of the eastern
townships of that county and also one
or two other Renville county tracts
These tracts are estimated at $40, 900.
Here he also met a widow who, about
two years ago, he married, and she
became known as Matilda Remicke
By her he had one child, q boy, Charles
F. Remicke Jr., now nearly, ten months
old In October. last year, Remicke
died without leaving will.
In December she petitioned the pro-
bate court of Renville county for let
ters granting to her the right of ad-
ministratrix of the property. At that
time Lottie Remicke Cole appeared as
contestant, claiming that she was
the lawful widow.
In the meantime the revenues Sc
cured from the property of the de-
ceased in Chicago are being seized by
Lottie Remicke Cole, who is in full
possession, and the revenues from the
Renville county property are seized by
Matilda Renicke who is in full charge
of the Renville property. The revenue
from Chicago is much the larger.

KIND WORDS FOR WARREN.
Railway Age Pay. the Retiring g
Manager High Praise.


Speaking of the retirement of Cen
eral Manager Warren from the Great
Northern, the Auditor writing for the
Railway Age, says:
After continuous service for fifteen
years from clerk to general manager,
Mr. Charles H. Warren has this day
been granted leave Of absence for an
Indefinite period That is how Presi-
dent Hill's circular announcing Mr.
Warren's withdrawal begins. 1t has
been a long and honorable service
What the circular does not state Is that
Mr.. Warren's going away Is due to the
condition Of Mrs. Warrens health and
for some time at least Mr. Warren
will not attempt any railway work,
but will hunt for climate and sur
roundings which are favorable to his
wife. 1t was 20 years ago that Mr.. War
rem first entered the service Of the
Chicago and Northwestern. Thence he
went for a time to the Rock Island,
and then, 10 years ago last month, be-
came chief clerk to Allen Marvel, then
general manager OF the old Manitoba,
now the Great Northern system. His
rise to general passenger agent, comp
troller and general manager was per-
sistent and rapid, and the Great North
ern is not a road on which long-con-
tinued service in the higher positions
has been the rule. When he assumed
the office of general manager two years
ago, 1t was with many misgivings. as
I happened to know, for he was keenly
conscious Of his ignorance of freight
and operating affairs. And his main
concern then was to find the very best
man that he could to work with him.
Now, in leaving the road. he again
has the somewhat unusual experience
of designating the man who is to sue
ceed HMM this case ]. M. Barr. I
say again because he did 1t also when
he left the general passenger office and
the comptrollership."

EAST END MAY GET A NEW

FAULT WITH MIR. M'CARDY's
ARITHMETIC.
1T CAN'T FIND A sum OF s11,ooo
Which 1T Figures Ought to De to
Its Credit on the City's
Books.

If the board of school inspectors and
Comptroller McCardy can get together,
on what appears to be question of
simple arithmetic, it is probable that
the crowded school situation in the
Eighth ward will not only be relieved,
but that a new school will be built on
the Dayton's bluff, or to be more ex-
act, at the corner of Pacific avenue and
Hester street.
The comptroller insists that there is
only $4,000 available for the erection Of
new school buildings for the board of
school inspectors this year. He arrives
at this conclusion by the following pro-
cess: The tax levy includes an item of
$4,000, but under the certificate plan,
which makes but 80 per cent available
at once. there is thus only $4,000
available.
The school board, however, goes a
step further in it's arithmetic and cal
culates this way. Last year the board
OF tax levy appropriated for new school
buildings, $55,O00. Of this the board
received $44, 900, the 80 per cent. The
balance, or the greater part of it, ap-
prcximately $1,000, is supposed 10 be
available this year. That with the 12,-
WV " NC Fedlzeo from tnlS years ap-
preparation, would give the city board
Of school inspectors $23, 900 at present
available for the construction of new
school buildings.
Now the board wants to know where
this extra $1,000 has gone, if, as the
treasury watchdog says, the actual
amount available is only $4,000.
President Abbott, of the school board
yesterday addressed to Aid Kaldun-
ski, Of the Eighth ward, letter stating
the case practically as above, and it
is likely that the matter will be brought
up at the council meeting next week.

people who know that Bill Lange, of the Chi.
cago team, was the hero of that famous in
c1dent 1t was years ago in San Francisco
when Lange was a budding boy and King
Kalakaua was a social star during his tril
to this country. Lange although so young,
happened one night to find himself in a hot
poker game with King Kalakaua opposite.
Bill had three aces-history deposes not as to
how many he held out-and Kalakaua three
kings Everybody dropped out except the
king and the boy. Kaakaua caught another
king In the draw and Lange received the final
ace. There was considerable betting a
coast millionaire backing Lange heavily, and
a goodly sum was in sight when the call
came The hands were shown, and thus ii
happened that Bill Lange with four aces,
defeated five kings-Kalakaua and the foui
lesser monarchs OF the deck.
