Miss Lizzie Robinson Is Hurt, Per-
haps Seriously.

F. J. Morse, of 1124 Twenty-fourth avenue
southeast, Minneapolis drove over to st. Paul
yesterday afternoon in dog cart to bring
Miss Lizzie Robinson to SO Douglas street.
where Miss Robinson resides with her broth
er, H. A. Robinson. On arriving at their
destination the couple were informed that
Mr.. Robinson was Ill and required physi-
clan. They turned about, drove to the office
of DR.. G. A. Haas and went back to Miss
Robinson's home. AS Mr.. Morse was at
tempting to replace the bride with a halter
while the cart, still containing Miss Robin
son, stood in the stable yard, the animal
broke away, ran out of the yard and down
McBoal street. Miss Robinson Is a cripple
and was unable to leap from the cart. Mr..
Morse attempted to stop the horse but was
thrown to one side and severely bruised. The
runaway turned various corners within G
radius Of a few blocks and returned up
Douglas street. Miss Robinson seized the
lines, but this merely irritated the horse
which kicked away the dashboard and infiict-

head just above the right eye. The young
woman then retreated to the extreme back of
the seat, which on sturgis street, near

LOST ONE DIEM.
To Gain a Son She Had Left the
Farm q Day.

Christopher Diem, who came to st. Paul
several days ago with Mrs. and four little
Diems, worried and fretted about the emf
grant room Of the union depot yesterday
morning. The Diems had come up from
Clintonville. Wis. where, in their simple
German way, they had done farming, and
incidentally raised happy family of youngs-
ters and put by quite snug bit of money.
On the farm they had worked hard, seen
few people. and were unaccustomed to the
conventionalities which hem in people in
polite society. Mrs. Diem is the mother of
the little boy who was born on Saturday in
the depot. She was taken, with the small
infant and three-year-old boy, to the city
hospital, much against her own will and to
the intense disgust Of her husband, who
was left with three remaining children down
town, where they have been ever since. Mr..
Diem feared the treatment accorded his
better half might make her aristocratic, so
yesterday morning he left his little ones in
the depot, and walked out to the city hos
pital, found his wife, who Immediately ac-
companied him back to the depot on foot,
carrying her newborn babe in her arms
and leading the little tow-headed blue-eyed
boy by the hand.
She agreed with her husband that consid-
cradle time had been lost from the farm,
and yesterday the whole family left for home.
There have been in ali nine little Diems.

He Says Business Conditions Are
Improving Notably.


Improving Notably.
Ex-Gov. S. t. Hauser of Montana. accom-
panied by his daughter, Miss Ella, and Otis R.
Allen his son-in-law, passed through st.
Paul yesterday after two months visit in
the East. Coy. Hauser repaired to the Ryan,
where he spent a few hours until the North
ern Pacific train left for the West. To q
G o b reporter the governor spoke more
hopefully of the financial situation in New
York, and gave it as his opinion that East
erEers were becoming more and more willing
to put their money in Western investments
SIT was quiet in New York when / left, "
said the governor, "out on every hand the
opinion was given that better times are not
far off. For example people in New York
are ten times as willing to put their money
in Montana investments as they were form
erly.
THE West takes up the improvement feel
ing faster than the East. The mining opera
tions have largely to do with this. There is
an immense amount of valuable stuff being
taken out of the ground and 1t brings money
to the big holes where the picks and hy-
draulic drills and smelters are at work. Last
year In Montana we produced $23, 900 OF
copper $40 000 900 of silver s5 0o0 900 Of gold
and 50, ,000, 900 of lead. This year shows a
marked increase over these figures. and there
is every reason to look ahead to generous
lettering of the situation"

Many Applicants Pass the Examina-

Many Applicants Pass the Examina-
tion satisfactorily.
County Assessor seng. aided by Col. w. P.
Clough and w. P. Murray members OF the
citizens committee appointed to assist the as
SCISSOR. yesterday examined the test returns
made by the 800 applicants for positions as
field men in making the assessment It did
not require very close scrutiny to enable the
examiners to Judge as to whether the execu-
tor possessed the requisite ability to make
returns properly. As the returns were passed
from hand to hand they were marked Every
good" very good" 'fair," defective" and
bad" Col. Ciough said he was surprised
at the high standard Of ability shown by the
applicants, and that more than enough of the
returns would be found perfect to furnish
& flrst-class set Of men to do the work. A few
of the applicants want Office work only, but
not many more of these will be needed.
Mr.. Seng said he will make the selections
today for field men, and not less than ten of
them Will be started to work tomorrow. The
others will be started within few days, just
as soon as the first get under way. The
whole number will probably not exceed fifty
unless 1t be found toward the close Of the
month that the force at work cannot get
through In time. 1t that case the force will
be Increased.
Each field man will be furnished with a
badge on which is the inscription, Assessor
No. =" the numbers ranging from 100 to
160. These badges for the protection of
the public against imposition by persons who
might go about representing themselves as
assessors for vicious purposes.
In addition to making list Of the real es-
tate and describing the buildings thereon. the
field men will furnish each property owner a
blank, on which to make a return himself,
which will serve as check on the field man.
II the field man fails to find the owner, the
blank will be mailed to him.
Personal property is not listed In this can
vass. That will necessitate another canvass
in May.

the Central Park church, was introduced by
Rev. David Morgan, and invited the ministers
TO announce from their pulpits the advantages
OF the new primary law, which enables every
citizen to take part in nominations regardless
Oh party machinery. Mr.. Golfer also wished
the clergy to urge that every Christian man
attend the primaries and join In vigorous
effort to overthrow the machine. 1t is not ex-
pected that exactly this language will be used
from next Sundays pulpits, but the intention
Is the same. Mr.. Golfer added that he and
his friends would attempt to secure the CO.

tinue the use of foreign languages in many
cases, especially in order to reach immigrants

POLICE sERGEANTs, PAY.
They Think a Cut of 500 q Year
Too Much.

The sergeants Of police are not at all
pleased with the proposed compromise rec
commended by the joint council committee,
whereby the patrolmen are to be reduced
only $50 year. which fixes their annual
compensation at s870, whereas the sergeants
are to receive only 5000 year, which is a
out OF 800. The sergeants regard such a
schedule as unjust to them In view Of the
nature Of their work and the responsibility
involved. Accordingly, they have prepared
petition asking the common council to fix
their compensation at $3.50 q year. A dele
cation OF police sergeants called at the may
or's off1ce yesterday, apd presented the pc
tition, which will be submitted to the coun-
Gil. The sergeants say they are satisfied to
stand cut Of $50 year, but they do not
think 1t would be fair to reduce them from
$1,000 year to 5000. and to cut the SAL
aries OF the patrolmen only $50 year, thus
leaving difference Of but $50 between the
salaries of a patrolman and sergeant.

TAX LISTS AND "JAG'' CURES.
Board of County Commissioners Dis
cussed Them.

cussed Them.
Tomorrow the delinquent personal property
tax lists go to the sheriff, and the work Of
enforcing payment will begin. II as success
fully prosecuted as 1t was last year, 1t is prob
able enough will be recovered to defray the
bulk OF the expense Of collecting. This Is
claimed to be one of the greatest impositions
practiced on the taxpayers OF any state The
lists contain hundreds Of names against which
only few cents are charged. but the lists
must be given to the clerk Of court so that
he can get Is cents each for preparing no.
tices to all these persons. Then the lists go
to the sheriff, who gets $1.25 each for serv-
ing these notices, all of which are simply
served through the mail. Back to the clerk
go the lists SO that judgments may be en-
tered against all who have failed to respond
to the notices, and. then to the sheriff again
to levy for the satisfaction Of these judgments.
Considering all this expense Of course, no
one interested in these perquisites would be
considered foolish enough to think of attempt
ing to collect debt of few cents when the
cost Of collecting 1t was at least $3.50. Yet
this is exactly what the board Of county COM
missioners says must be done in this case. AT
the meeting Of the board yesterday the mat
ter came up, Commissioner Moritz introduced
resolution that all amounts less than 81 on
the personal property tax be stricken off and
no attempt made to enforce payment. Com
missioner Allen read the. law, which provides
that the lists nust 60 to the clerk Of court
first, then to the sheriff and back to the
clerk before the commissioners receive them.
The members Of the board expressed their ap-
proval Of the Resolution, but concluded it
would not be lawful to adopt it. So it was
laid on the table, though It would save about
s., 800 to the county.
The only matter of special interest to come
before the board wasItthe adjustment of the
'tjeg law tangle. Matt Gallagher, attorney
for the Keeley Institute, in Minneapolis, and
Morton Barrows,c the ST. Paul attorney for the
same institution. and,1with them the Mime
apolis manager appeared before the board to
show cause why the selection Of the Minne-
apolis institute by the commission appointed
by the probate court should be concurred in
by the county commissioners Mr.. Gallagher s
talk had the effect of winning all the men,
bers of the board save Ness, who maintained
that the board had entered into an agree
ment with DR.. Miller. But 1t was pointed out
to him that this was without effect 1t was
finally decided to consult the county attorney,
and consider the matter further before the
next meeting.
