1t had now fully become daylight but
being bitter cold morning, the men had
very little to say, and looked like a lot
OF mummies. encased as they We're, in
their army blankets.
Our sleighs being covered with moth
ing but common, ordinary muslin, YOU
may well imagine our quarters were
not very warm, and as we approached
La Crosse, / cautioned the men to take
out their knives, with blade opened, to
be prepared to rip the canvas top
open, in case there were any indica-
tons of the ice breaking, so that they
would have a chance to save their
lives by crawling out at the top This
precaution was taken on account of
Lieut.. McGroSty, quartermaster of the
Seventh Minnesota infantry having
lost his life at the same place by the
stage breaking through the ice and he
being unable TO get through the top,
where ready knife and a timely rip
would have saved his life
One of the peculiarities of our trip
down the river was that at every stop
ping place Sergt Rouleau complained
to me that he had fallen asleep and
lost his hat and asked permission to
go to a store and buy new one The
repetition Of this complaint had grown
so monotonouS from it's frequency, that

Crosse (Which was the Western termi-

off the track and lodging a red-hot
stove that broke loose from its moor

we arrived safely in Chicago, and put
up over night at the Soldiers Rest"
In the morning we left for St Louis.

Sergeant Rouleau farewell with the
feeling that there was an unexplained
mystery existing between us.
Some thirty years afterwards, as ]
was walking down Wabasha street, I
was accOsted by police officer, who
approached me and said, How do you
do, Capt. Stees? L see you do not rec

guard over the detachment of troops

"Oh, yes. and you lost so many hats.

Yes" Rouleau replied, II got a
fresh hat from the boys at every stop

canteens of whisky which were judi

A st. Paul Woman Claims Cornelius
VanderbiIt1s Blood

Several days ago Mrs. May Steiner
called al the central police station to
secure assistance in recovering her sto-
len diamonds. Her explanation they
thought indicated a disordered mind.
Since then Mrs. Steiner's vagarfes have
become so pronounced that she was sent
to the station yesterday by Officer
Parr, and detained for examination by
a city physician. She is about thirty
five years old, and was we'll dressed.
She said her husband was a travelling
man for Chicago wholesale liquor
house, and that she herself was a near
relative of Cornelius Vanderbilt. She
regretted that the police had been so
slow in recovering her valuable dia-
monds. Dr. Brimhall sent Mrs Steiner
to the county Jail so that she may ap-
pear before the probate court for eXami-
nation as to her sanity. Her husband
IS said to have once kept a candy store

HINT FOR COL. KIEFER.
Fourth District Committee Gives
Him Food for Thought

Col. A. R. Kiefer, painting as he is
for taste of British gore, need not ex-
perience any ennui. The chances are,
judging from the doings of the Fourth
district Republican committee at the
Windsor yesterday he can find lots of
fighting at home. Otis Staples, of Still
water, who is the chairman of the COM
mittee, is pretty strong Kiefer man,
SO strong, in fact, that some of the
other members of the committee had
hammers in their jeans when the brill
liant galaxy gathered yesterday After
determining to adopt the same repre-
sentation for the congressional conven-
ton as the counties are to be allowed
in the state convention, Ramsey, II:
Chisago, IA; Kanabec. 6; Isanti, 10, and
Washington, IS, a resolution was in
troduced for the holding Of the conven-
ton March %. This stirred up row,
as it is customary for the chairman to
be given the fixing Of the date, and Mr..
Staples took this as a personal imputa-
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1896-02-23

ton, which he was probably right in so
dong Before the fur was through fly
ing, however the resolution was amend
ed SO as to request the chairman to call
the convention on that date, and does
not absolutely tie his hands. as the orig
inal would have.
This convention will be to elect two
district delegates and as many alter
mates to the national convention The
regular convention will be held June %.
The action of yesterday in regard to
chairman Staples is looked upon as the
first of number of severe blows which
are to be administered to vulnerable
portions of Col. Kiefer's political anat-
omy during the coming summer
The Third district committee also met
yesterday and selected the same date,
and the same basis of representation
for its convention, which will be held
al Hastings.
