STATE RUNS SHORT
TREASURER KOERNER DRAWS ON
THE BANKS HOLDING STATE
CASH.
NEEDS A MILLION SHORTLY
AND THIS is THE DULL SEASON AS
TO TREASURY RE-
CEIPTS.
CASH FOR VARIOUS SCHOOLS,
with the Expense of State Institu-
tiOns, Is IL Heavy Drain on the
Funds.

BY Oct IS, the state treasury will
be drawn on for a solid block of a
million dollars, and State Treasurer
Koerner is already drawing on the
banks In which the states cash is de-
posted for the funds Some of the
bankers were a bit displeased on re-
ceiving the notice, but Mr.. Koerner in
sists that all are being treated alike,
and that the draft is necessary to meet
the eXigencies of the state.
This month the receipts of the state
are practically nothing, counties hold
ing back until the settlement in Oc-
tober, and while at the opening of
business yesterday morning, the treas
ury balance showed 81, 166, 900 on hand,
nearly all of that will have to be paid
cut by the middle of next month. The
school appointments, which amount to
100000 are added this month to the
fixed charge of $775,0O0 required for
the maintenance of the state institu-
tons, and with the $4,000 needed for
salaries, completes $1,000,000
The distribution of this money will,
in the natural order of things, soon re
turn to the natural channels of circu-
lation, so that the withdrawal is pure
ly temporary, and the receipts of the
next month will soon put the treasury
on a good footing again.

HE WAS THoMAswELTER.
Identity of the Man iili1leed at Lake
PhaIens lk42

PhaIens -skls
After occupying a paupefss grave for
nearly six weeks, the body of the man
killed by Duluth train, near Lake
Phalen, Aug. 2, has been discovered to
be that of Thomas Welter, formerly
living at 512 East Seyentht street, ana
resident of st. Paul for thirty seven
years. The identity Of the dead man
was established by yhsother, Matthew
Welter, who yesterdayoposi recog-
nized the clothing preserved by Under
taker Bantz At theftinGiof Welter's
death the body was kept at Bantz's I'M
dertaking rooms for al week and was
viewed by many people, hut, though
the dead man was we'll known in the
neighborhood where he had lived, none
Of mis- friends called, and the body was
buried as that of an unknown.
The search for Welter, who lives at
Oakdale, was begun by his brother,
shortly after the accident, though the
latter knew nothing of the affair I'M
til recently. He did not believe his
brother would leave the country with
out letting him know his intentions,
and an investigation showed that Aug.
1, the dead man had stated that he
was going to saltwater. AT this place
it was learned that he had started to
return to ST. Paul, as he had told sew
eral persons he intended walking the
distance and stopping. here before con
tinuing to his. brothers at sQakdale.
When the dead mans brother learned
of the accident lately, the fact that
Thomas had started to walk to this
city suggested the idea that he might
have been the man killed. A visit to
the undertaking rooms resulted in the
positive identification Of the clothes of
the dead man as those worn by his
brother. The body will be disinterred
and given a more BETTING burial at
Oakdale. Thomas Weller was fifty
eight years old, unmarried and a men,

SIZED CoMIsKEY UP WRONG.
PhyIe Thought There Wasn't q
Fight in the Manager.

Pitcher Phyle is becoming ambitious.
He was sliced with a desire to thrash
Manager -Comiskey Friday night, but
Comiskeyy knew Phyle'S curves, and
after landing couple of blows, ad-
ministered several Well-directed kicks.
His star pitcher gathered up portion
of his apparel, which he had discarded
in order to be able to handle himself
more freely, and beat hasty retreat.
But Phyle had started out to whip
some one, and was not satisfied with
having the tables turned. He encoun-
tered the acting treasurer of the club
and undertook to satiate his desire for
revenge. This functionary lodged some
Of the blows aimed at him, stopped
some of the others with various por-
tions OF. his anatomy, and in turn re-
treated as Mr.. Phyle had done.
The first trouble occurred at the
union depot, while the club was wait
ing for the train to Milwaukee. Phyle
claimed Manager Comiskey had prom
ised him certain pecuniary reward, ii
he remained sober during the season,
and he went down to the depot to col
lect the amount claimed to be due.
Comiskey couldn't quite hear the young
mans claim, and, after heated argu-
ment Phyle followed the manager to
the platform outside the depot, where
he threw off his coat and declared II
he couldn't get the money he would
at least afford himself the satisfaction
of thrashing Manager Comiskey. But
he didn't, as Comiskey went after the
young man and piled him up on the
platform, where an application of shoe
leather put a damper on the twirler' S
pugilistic aspirations. He encountered
the acting treasurer, however, and
landed on this Individual several times,
but with no serious results.
