Business men along the street and

lat Saturday afternoon, with the intel

The discovery was made by NJ. W.
Bessey who had called to take Mr.
Waldron to his home on Silver street
he having called on the doctor for
treatment a short time before.
From DR.. Bessey it is learned that
about o'clock Mr.. Waldron called at
the doctors office and complained of d
severe pain in the region of the heart.
DR.. Bessey advised him to go home
and told him he would take him there
| in his team. Mr.. Waldron went back
| to his office to close the same. Five
minutes later, according to the doc
tors judgment, Dr. Bessey went to
| Mr.. Waldrons Office in Phoenix block.
| AS the doctor entered he beheld the
| form of Mr.. Waldron outstretched
| upon the floor. he having apparently

LOCAL REFORM PARTY
VIII Be in the Field With a Civ
Ticket.

Just to be in line with the other DO
1tlcal organizations holding meetings
last evening, the citizens committee of
the Local Reform party got together
at No. 81 East Seventh street and dis
cussed ways and means for the coming
election. DR.. c. G. Smith, Of the Sixth
ward, presided over the committees
deliberations, while II. S. Oderman. as
secretary, made notes Of the proceed
ings. The meeting was strictly execu-
tive, but it is understood that DR..
Smith and others talked about pure
politics and the eagerness with which
the voters Of the Sixth ward would
support an independent candidate. and
also promulgated the statement that the
only way to effect a political reform in
st. Paul was for the laboring man and
taxpayer to forsake their partisan affiI-
1atlonS and rally around the independ-
ent candidate. Some discussion was in
dulged in regarding the advisability of
nominating a full city ticket, but the
question was not definitely settled.
though 1t was unanimously declared to
be the purpose of the Local Reform par
ty TO put candidate for mayor and for
city comptroller in the field The COM
mittee were in favor of an early con-
vention. and it was decided to subse-
Quently fiX the date early in March.
Five thousand campaign buttons bear
ing the name of the party, it's aims and
objects were reported to have been or
dered. and upon their receipt will be
distributed among the advocates of the
principles Of the Reform party.

bears on its small surface at the top:

A windfall, as unexpected as it was
welcome, has come to Patrick O'Brien
who is employed in an oil mill at ST.
Anthony Park. in the shape of be-
quest Of something like $4,000 and a
sixth of an estate in New York, the
exact value of which has not yet
been ascertained.
Mr.. O'Brien, while engaged at his
calling yesterday, was visited by rep
resentatives Of the executors of the es-
tate, who informed the almost dumb
founded man that his aunt, Mrs. J.
M Gleason, had died in New York
leaving her money and property to
six members of the OBrien family. all
of whom are at present living in this
state. They are Patrick, who lives
in st. Anthony Park; Michael, resi-
dent of this city; Bridget, whose home
Is in Dakota county; John, located in

Mary and Johanna, living in Mime

was WEIGH, was sister of the mother
Of these fortunate persons, and. al
though they never knew much about
her, are now quite willing to believe her
the best woman that ever lived.
Patrick O'Brien, to whom the news
was broken, says he was told that the
estate was quite valuable, although it

will be, or what the property consists

West Side Jewish Churches Act ON
the Meat Inspecto-sI,ip.

The West side Jewish churches took
decided and vigorous action last night
In the matter of N. Rosenberg, who.
with the aid of the Pioneer Press, has
been trying to make the public believe
that there was trouble in the coDgre-
cations Of the two churches in cues
ton. A. Morgulis, president of the
Sens Of Zion church, in a communica-
ton to the G b e Of Friday, explain
ed the situation.
Last night the trustees of the two
churches, the Russian Brotherhood
church and the Sons of Zion, each met
separately and decided to expel Mr.. Ro-
senberg. Committees from the two
churches afterwards met and ratified
the action taken by each church. They
claimed that Mr.. Rosenberg is not a
rabbi in any sense, and that hereafter
his services as inspector Of meat will
no longer be required or recognized
There is one man in ST. Paul who is
authorized to look after that work and
he is rabbi, but it was declared last
night that Rosenberg, while he acted in
the capacity of inspector, is not a ra bbi
at all.
When it was decided to turn down Mr..
Rosenberg last night, committee was
appointed to formally notify him of the
action, although he was at the church
Samuel Milstein was chairman of the
committee, and he ordered Mr.. Rosen-
berg to leave. The latter refused to go,
so policeman was called, and on his
arrival, Rosenberg went home. Before
going, however, he said that Mr. Mil
stein had assaulted him, statement
that was denied by all the other mem
bers Of the committee. This Joint ac-
ton of the churches is expected to set
at rest the little matter out of which it
has been sought to make sensation
