over the railroad tracks on Sixth street,
in the vicinity of the Fish Commission
buildings, he staggered on to the parking
and laid down near the base or a tree
to go to sleep. Yates had probably not
been there more than quarter OF an
hour when a colored man discovered him.
He attempted to arouse him but found it
impossible. The COlOred man hurried to
the Penns ylvania station and summoned
help. He was thawed out at steam coils
and taken to the police station.

THE POLICE RELIEF FUND.
An Adverse Report by the Commits.
sioners Upon the Senate Bill.

The Commissioners have made an ad-
verse recommendation upon Senate bill
1858. introduced in June Of last year, to
amend the act creating the police relief
fund. There are two reasons assigned for
the rejection Of the measure, both assigned
by Major Moore superintendent Of police,
and approved by the Commissioners.
The first is. that il enacted the bill will
deprive many worthy persons OF the benefits
of the present law and the other argument
against tits that a : Congress az its last ses-
sion made permanent provision for the fund.
1t is not deemed exPe,Iient. in view of the
efforts necessary g. secure that result.

Representative Barthold, Of Missouri,

report on the immigration bill, which
provides an educational test for immi-

to which he objects are those which stop
the wife, if she be an illiterate, from
landing with her husband, provided the
latter can read and write, and the pro-
vision which requires that the immigrant
shall be able to read the language of his
nativity or place of residence.

goes to war he will
ingly and knowingly takes his life in his
hands. Death waits for him on every
hand, and he goes to meet it calmly and
fearlessly- He has offered his life, and he
is willing to give it. In ordinary affairs,
a mans life is pledged in another way.
He assumes obligations that he must live
to fulfill. Carelessness of health in this
case is worse than undue carelessness
would be in war. 1t is every mans duty
to preserve his health to the fullest, and
to five as long as he can. The sick man
can't do mans full duty in the world.
A man who is weak from loss of flesh,
whose nerves are run down, whose blood
is impure, who shows from his sunken
cheeks and hollow ewes and lingering
cough that he is on the direct road to
death or consumption, can in no way per-
form the full duties of man. II he lets
these things go on, it IS because he pre-
fers disease to health-desth to life. He
can be cured surely and quickly by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
coverv. Thousands and Thousands Of
people have testified TO the wonderful
effects of this most marvellous medicine.

Tributary Rivers Rising.

The ice in the Minnesota river
above the mouth of the Blue Earth
river has not yet gone out to any ex-
tent. The ice that has thus far come
down issentirely from the Blue Earth
river and it's tributaries. The LIE
Sueur and Watonwan rivers, two tri-
butaries of the Blue Earth, broke
up yesterday and the ice passed
down on swollen currents. The
Maple and Cobb have not yet come up
much.
The Cottonwood river, which
empties into the Minnesota river two
miles south of New Ulm. broke up
yesterday and rose rapidly all day.
Considerable damage was done. A
bridge near Sleepy Eye went out, and
fears for other bridges are enter
tanned.
The Blue Earth river is high at
Winnebago City, and it is feared that
the bridges west of that place will be
swept away.
