this fall, host Of which have been re-
ported to State Fire Warden c. c. An
drews, that has been entailed on the
farmers or the insurance companies by
these CONGREGATIONS has been not less
than $250,000 The magnitude of these
losses has led to determination on the
part of Warden Andrews to have a
strict enforcement of the laws against
making fires, wherever 1t is possible,
and yesterday he was gratif1ed to re-
ceive word from Roseau county that
a citizen who set small fire there had
been fined $40 in a justice court.
There has been a question, which it
seems now is practically and will be
finally determined shortly, and that is
whether district and justice courts alike
have original jurisdiction in the prose-
cutions under this law. The law vests its
enforcement in the justice courts, but
it is claimed by the friends Of the law
that this was merely intended to ia
cilitate the prosecution of offenders
and not to vest in these courts the sole
power of original trial. At any rate the
bull has been taken by the horns, so
to speak, in Big Stone county, and at
OrtonvilIe last week a thresherman
named John F. Lockwood was indicted
for setting fire to several stacks of
grain with his threshing engine, and he
will be tried at the coming term of
court there The indictment is the first
of it's kind in Minnesota.

ATTRACTIONS AT COMO.
Park Board Will Probably Handle
Them Next Season.

The park commissioners, at their
meeting last evening, spent consider
able time in an informal discussion of
plans for managing Como park them
selves, the coming year, instead of
leasing all the privileges to the street
railway company. Ever since the park
was opened the control of it has been
utrned over to the street railway COM
pany and during the past season sever
al complaints were made to the board.
Furthermore, as one of the commits
sioners expressed it, the management
of the park is at the Minneapolis end
of the line, which not only makes it
difficult to get at, but the idea of hav-
ing the control of ST. Pauls beautiful
park in another city is an unpleasant
reflection.
Some desultory talk was engaged in
relative to minor details of the man
agement, and among other items, it
was proposed to reduce the price of the
boat livery from rs cents to Is cents
per hour. The commissioners We're
unanimous in their approval of the
change Of management, but no definite
action was taken.
The board also talked over a sug-
gestion for an ice palace at the park
but as the cost of this would run up
into several thousand dollars, it was
deemed rather too expensive a play
thing.
The bills for the month Of November
were audited They include the pay
roll of $1,S91.91 and miscellaneous bills
of $965.7S more. The balance of cash
in the park treasury is $4,4847S, and
after the December bills are paid there
will still be balance of a couple of
thousand dollars, out of the $4,000 an
nual allowance. Last year there was
a small deficit.

HOTEL REGISTER DEAL.
An Alleged SwindIe by an Untden-

The police are looking for a supposed

the oft-employed advertising dodge by
which contracts are secured and pay

fulfilled. The only cases which have

of the Schlitz Brewing company, which
lost $40, and August Swanson, florist
in the Endicott arcade, who lost $40.

Fourth street, whom the alleged swim
dler employed to get out the advertis-

still unpaid. The man gave the name
of Robert Wood and represented that
he was getting out hotel registers for
the Metropolitan, Ryan, Windsor and
Merchants hotels. Though but two
victims are known SO far, 1t is believed
from the fact that the supposed swim
dler canvassed local merchants for

HIS HEART PARALYZED.
Thomas F. McMnnus Took an Over
dose of Choral.

Thomas F. McManus, living at the
Virginia flats, died Sunday morning
in his room under circumstances which
left the manner of death something
of a mystery. He was found uncon-
scious by the janitor of the building.
Effort to arouse the young man failed,
and, by the time a physician arrived,
he breathed his last The physicians
discovered that young McManus died
from an overdose of choral, which
caused paralysis of the heart. The
young man had been in the habit of
using choral for insomnia, and is be
lieved to have taken the dose for the
purpose of inducing sleep, but used
too large a quantity. Coroner Nelson
investigated the case yesterday. He
death was, beyond doubt. accidental,
and issued death certificate giving
paralysis of the heart as the cause
of the young mans death.
