1T WAS A SUDDEN CALL.
Oscar G. Matheis Had Not Mo-
ment's Warming.

The funeral of oscar c. Matheis took
place yesterday afternoon from the
residence of his brother, w. E. Math els,
268 Nelson avenue. Rev. Charles
Holmes read the Episcopal service and
the Mozart Singing society double quar-
tette rendered the music, both at the
house and at the grave in Oakland.
The pail bearers were: Frank Jacobs,
Frank Lindeke, Charles Scheffer, Henry
Reichow, John Hiesen and George
Thauwold. Many friends of the deceas-
ed added tokens to the memory of the
dead through floral tributes
The facts about the death of Mr..
Matheis were not learned until Mrs.
Matheis arrived in st. Paul with the
remains of her husband. 1t seems that
Mr.. Matheis has been in good health
up to the time of his death. Friday
morning Mrs. Matheis awoke her hus-
band with the remark that it was Z
o'clock. He answered all right. A
few minutes later Mrs. Matheis, who
was in another room, heard q peculiar
noise and went into the room. She
found that her husband had a hemorr-
hage of the lungs. He tried to say
something, but all that could be I'M
derstood was something about a doc
tor. One was summoned; but before
his arrival Mr.. Matheis was dead. A
post mortem showed that one of his
lungs was enlarged, and that it must
have caused death in a short time at
most. He was able to inhale freely,
but was unable to exhale the air taken
into the organ.
Mrs. Matheis was accompanied to
ST. Paul by her sister, Mrs. Johnson, of
Tacoma, who was advised of Mr..
Matheis death as soon as it occurred
and came east to Helena. Last night
Mrs. Matheis left for Dubuque, where
she will seek rest at the home Of her
brother, N. j. Kolf

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE meeting of

changeable mileage tickets, which was
to have been held here today, was
postponed until tomorrow The Chi

opposed to the adoption of any kind
of an interchangeable ticket on the
ground of impracticability The re-

an interchangeable ticket in spite of

kilograms have been sent yesterday
to Lyman ]. Gage, secretary of the
treasury, by local jobbers protesting
against that clause in the Dingley bill
which lays duty of 10 per cent on
goods of foreign manufacture when
brought to this country via the Cam
adian Pacific.
1t is expected that some definite III
depreciation of the law, or this clause
of it, will shortly be received from
United States Attorney General Nc
Kenna before whom a hearing on the
matter was held last week. At this
hearing the contention was made that
the clause did not apply to importa-
tions from other countries. The par
ticular phrase of the bill to which
strenuous objection is made was intro
duced by Senator Elkins, and is as
follows:
Section z2-That discriminating duty of
III per centum ad valorem, in addition to the
duties imposed by law, shall be levied, col
lected and paid on all goods, wares or mer-
chandise which shall be imported in vessels
not of the United States, or which, be-
ing the production or manufacture of any for
eign country not contiguous to the United
States, shall come into the United States from
such contiguous country, but this discriminat-
ing duty shall not apply to goods, wares or
merchandise which shall be imported in yes
sells not of the United States, entitled at the
time of such importation by treaty or other
wise to be entered in the ports of the United
States, nor to such foreign products from

business. Tickets are already on sale
but the Eastern lines will not accept
any passengers upon them until Satur-
day morning. Saturday, Sunday and

1t is doubtful if the business will
go through without some trouble With
the exception of the ST. Paul Chicago
lines the statement is made that there
is little rate cutting being done, but
the question of stopover privileges is
causing considerable trouble. The
Western roads have taken all the pre-
cautions possible to prevent the de-
moralization of business which would
result from this concession, but some of
the Eastern passenger men say they
may not be able to carry out their
