TO KLoNDIKE DEADHEAp.
A. w. BilSlSer, of Wheeling, Thinks
He Can Make 1t.

An ambitious gold seeker bound for
the Klondike regions arrived in the
city yesterday, in the person of A. W.
Bikker, of Wheeling, w. Va So far
Bikker's trip has cost him nothing, and
he proposes to journey to Juneau
Alaska, thence overland to Dawson
City without financial outlay. Bikker
is an Englishman, twenty-five years
old. and has undertaken his rather
unusual journey with double pur-
pose in view. He is looking for gold
and incidentally writes weekly letters
of his trip to the Wheeling Register,
the local paper Of his former home. He
is to be back in Wheeling within seven
months and to complete the trip with
out money, save what he can earn en-
route. He left Wheeling on a freight
train Aug. 4, and arrived in Chicago
Saturday morning. The same evening
he boarded freight bound for the
Twin Cities and arrived in st. Paul
Sunday. Bikker calculated on slowing
himself away on the top of a passen-
ger coach bound for the coast last
night, and will endeavor to work his
passage from Seattle to Juneau. He
is confident of a successful journey.
and considers his venture far from
impossible.

THEY KNEW THE BOX.
But the Central Patrol Blacks For
got Their Wagon.

Driver Frank Fraser, of the central
patrol wagon. thinks his new team
of black horses know more than the
members of any equine circus that
ever travelled. The team raised them
selves a notch in his opinion by a
rather peculiar performance last even
ing. Shortly before II o'clock the big
gong in the stable sounded off box
fifteen. When the stall doors flew open
the handsome blacks rushed to their
places under the harness, and stopping
but a moment, with a single impulse,
ran out of the stable without waiting
to be attached to the patrol wagon
Driver Fraser says the horses counted
the taps of the gong, but be that as
it may, the team wheeled onto West
Third street and galloped down town,
rather startling the few pedestrians
whom they encountered. Box fifteen is
at Third and Jackson streets, and
straight to this location the black
horses ran, according to their driver,
who followed as closely as he could.
Officer Christian, who had an unsteady
prisoner at the box, thought of mount
ing one of the horses and placing his
prisoner astride of the other in order
to get the man to the station, but while
he was wondering where the wagon

Foot against Sarah Foot. Mr. and
Mrs. Foot were married in this city

JUDGMENT FOR MIR. 7MAEALL.
Wins in His Action Against the
State Savings Bank.

Wins in His Action Against the
State Savings Bank.
Judge Bum has decided the case Of
James H. Mayall against the State
Savings bank, an action brought TO
set aside a mortgage, on the ground
that the plaintiff had satisfied it. Tho
facts in brief are these:
Some years ago Mr.. Mayall borrowed
$4,000 from the State Savings bank,
giving as security therefor a mortgage
on certain land which contained two
buildings. The buildings were insured
for $1,000 and the policies were trans
ferred to the bank with the 81 900 mort
gage. It was expressly covenanted in
the mortgage that upon the eXpira-
ton of the insurance policies, which
expired prior to the mortgage, tbs
bank was to select the insurance COM
pany or companies in which to renew
the insurance. When the policies We're
about to expire. Julius M. Goldsmith
the treasurer of the bank, took it upon
pany other than those with which the
original policies were taken out Mr.
Mayall objected to. this and immediate

self taken out. Subsequently Mr.

So 900, but the bank refused to cancel
the mortgage until Mr.. Mayall con-

that Mr.. Goldsmith had no authority
to designate the insurance company
or companies. and -inasmuch as the
board of directors of the State Savings
bank neglected to name the insurance
company, judgment is granted for the
plaintiff, cancelling the mortgage

HARDsHIPs OF KLoNDIKE.
Joe Sullivan Brings Rack Gold Dust
and Memories

-Gnu memories.
Joseph Sullivan, for a long time office
boy in the Northwestern offices at Mil
waukee, and later contracting freight
agent of the Wisconsin Central at the
same place, returned to st. Paul yes
terday from Klondike, where he, with
several companions has spent the past
eighteen months. Although Mr.. Sulli-
van means to return to the Alaskan
fields, having only just come on here
to purchase outfits for himself and
friends, he tells stories Of the perils
and discomforts of the place, which
would stop the heart of a tenderfoot.
The thermometer, he says, six weeks
ago, stood at IL below zero, and the cold
weather was playing hob with the
weaker brethren who had weathered
the long cold winter, and were unable
longer to bear the constant drain upon
their vitality.
Sullivan and his partners have made
some money-that is they have found
considerable gold-and they mean to
remain there a year or two longer. His
friends will do nothing until spring,
and have sent their dogs to Juneau for
the winter.

SEIZED SOME BIRDS.
New Game Warden COrraIs a Lot
of 35.

of 30.
There has been appointed during the
past few days new deputy game
warden, whose name is "BiT' futile,
and judging from surface indications,
he is destined to make a record for
himself.
Yesterday, realizing the Importance
of his new berth, he went to his friend,
Steward Buss, of the Metropolitan
hotel, and acquainted that official
with the fact that he intended to give
little game dinner for some of his
friends. Mr.. Buss. it seems, did not
hear Of the appointment, and readily
told him that he could probably secure
the game at the establishment of R. E.
Cobb.
Mr.. futile wanted prairie chickens,
and proceeding to the place to which
he was directed he found and promptly
seized some thirty-five plump prairie
fowl. The new deputy secured his
evidence, Mr. Cobb is out his game
and liable to a fine of SO a bird, and
Mr.. Buss thinks he was thrown down.
The case comes UP today.

VAN DER VELDT BURIED.
Coroner Objects to Imputations of
an Evening Paper.

The body of Jacob Van der Veldt.
who was drowned in the river, near
the Crosby bottoms last Thursday, was
shipped to Anoka for burial yesterday
afternoon. Van der. Veldt formerly
lived at Anoka, where the few friends
he had in this country will look to the
interment of his remains. The body
was prepared for burial by Bantz &
Co, and left on the o'clock train.
With reference to an account of the
accident contained in statement from
Timekeeper McCabe, with whom Van
der Veldt worked, in an evening paper,
Coroner Nelson says the structures i'm
posed upon him relative to bodies of
f1oaters being left in the water several
days, are without foundation In each
instance Coroner Nelson says he noti-
fed undertakerS to procure the body
Immediately after they were found and
declares the latter the only ones to be
censured for failure to take the bodies
from the water. Upon the order of
the coroner, DR.. Nelson says, under
takers should at once take bodies in
charge. In case they fail to do so, the
matter is a subject for investigation
by the health department.

ever lnaugurated that has engaged the
attention Of the public to such an extent
Not only t50,0 900 miners have been thrown
idle, but thousands and tens OF thnu-
sands OF workmen engaged In different
occupations have been compelled 10 sus-
pend on account of an insufficient SUPPLY
OF coal, When we take into account the

and the workmen engaged In other In
dustrles. who have been thrown idle for
the lack OF coal together with the loss In
profits TO the coal operators, the railroad
companies and the manufacturers, Il will
be seen that Il Is question that deeply
concerns the entire business interests OF
the country. II Is to be hoped that the
experience of the past will be taken ads
vantage of and something be done to
avoid these disastrous strikes In the fu-
ture.
The miners committee, realizing that
the distress among the miners Of this
district will be even greater for the next
two weeks than ut any time during thu
suspension, have agreed to keep their

HIGH SCHOOL OPENING.
Something ofthe Qualifications Required
for Entrance TO the school.

Something ofthe QuRilheattons hoquired
for Entrance TO the school.
AS the time approaches for the OPEN
Ing OF the high school, there is much
anxiety among many boys and girls
Wishing to enter the institution as to
whether they possess the necessary
qualifications. The qualifications in
themselves are very simple.
First, all graduates Of the public
schools are entitled to admission. Next,
all pupils who have been regularly pro-
NOTED to the second year Of the former
grammar schools. Those who do not
possess the latter evidences OF fitness
will be required to pass an examination
before entering the high school. 1t Will
be seen that the only uncertainty as to
entrance will come from present school
pupils in the upper grade.
The Maxwell property is stlll UNDER
going the necessary repairs, and II is
hoped 1t will be ready for the opening
by October |.
