daughter, and an estate Of about $4O-
000 1t has been estimated higher than
that, but P. f. Egan, who was in the
employ Of Mr.. Greenleaf or many years
and who succeeded to his business,
was about $4,000 left. That $4,000 of
Jeweler Greenleaf's money is wnat
started the Fillmore county bank, and
now, 1t seems, there is none Of it left.
Mr.. Egan does not clearly remember
the coming to st. Paul of young Todd.
The latter is the son of Irving Todd,
for many years the postmaster OF
Hastings. Mr.. Egan said he thought
Todd arrived in st. Paul about 1850.
At that time Mr.. Egan was running
the business that Greenleaf had left,
and Mrs. Greenleaf and her daughter
Emma, were living in the house now
occupied by M. G. Tuttle, on Fourth
street, just above Washington. Emma
Greenleaf was then in her young wom-
anhood. She had met with an acci-
dent when a child and had never fully
recovered from the effect of 1t. She
had been delicately reared, and Mr..
Greenleaf had great plans Of a future
for her.
'I was, therefore, very much sur
prised," said Mr.. Egan, ito hear that
she was about to marry travelling
dentist, for that was the business
young Todd was following when he
came here first. I never knew much
about Todd except that he was Irving
Todd's son and had been going about
the country as a dentist. l don't re-
member whether they were married IN
St. Paul or not, but I remember that
lust after the wedding Mrs. GreenleaI,
Todd and Emma went away to Florida
TO see a brother of Mr.. Greenieal 5.
After that l lost sight Of them to some
extent, though 1 have see them since
at Preston once or twice.
"Of the $40, 900 that the old man left
Emma got $4,000 and Mrs. Greenleaf
got the rest. I don't believe that they
ever lived in st. Paul after the weo-
ding, though they have been mere at
times. Mrs. Davis, who lives out at
Hamline, was a sister Of Mr. Green
leafs. and Frank Fairchild was
nephew to the old man.
'I understood that the bank at Pres
ton was started on the money or MIS-.
Greenleaf, but it Is not easy to remem-
Der distinctly after all these years, anu
after all. 1t was only rumor that reached
me. 1 do not know that young Todd
had anything when he married the
GIRL
Mr.. Egan continued the Greenleaf
business on Third street until the ex-
odus from that thoroughfare, but IS
now on Seventh street. He said
that he occasionally saw Todd
for some years, but never saw Glenn

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY
Relieved to Have Been Fully Re-

Relieved to Have Been Fully Re-
stored In Wisconsin.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Sept 2. - The
failure Of the Democratic state conven-
tion to fuse with the Populists on a
state ticket will result in the Populist
state ticket, as nominated. being placed
on the official ballot with the other
state tickets. All hopes for united ae-
ton between these two parties are now
shattered. In an interview today
Robert Schilling, chairman of the Pop
ulist state central committee, an
nounced that no agreement by which
the Populist ticket would be with
drawn had or would be made, and that
the Populists would fight the Demo-
Gratis just as they will fight the Re-
publicans. He also stated that the
action of the Democratic convention
would preclude all possibility Of fusion
on the county tickets, as was the case
in the spring election. when the Demo-
Gratis, with fusion, carried this city by
a large majority.
The language Of the Democratic
platform In reference to the Chicago
platform, is looked upon as being mild
and made to suit a number Of gold
Democrats who were in the conven-
tion. By this action, and the fact that
a number Of the delegates leaned to-
ward the gold standard, the party ex-
poets to gather in a large number of
the deserters of two years ago. whom
they would fail to capture had the
convention fused with the Peoples
party. 1t is looked upon as a long
step toward the bringing about of har-
mony in the Democratic party, at least
as far as this state is concerned.

MILLIONS MISSING.
Desperate Search for the Fortune OF
n Mount Vernon Man.

Desperate Search for the Fortune of
n Mount Vernon Man.
MOUNT VERNON, N. Y, Sept. e.
The family of the late William II. Fer
ris is engaged in desperate search for
his missing fortune. Mr.. Ferris, who
has always been reputed to be wealthy,
left a curious will. The document re-
fers to a paper which states: When
read will lead to the discovery OF every
thing"
The family has hunted through the
house for this paper in vain. They rear
that without It they may not find the
government bonds and stocks men
toned in the will
The amount Of Mr.. Ferris fortune is
not known. He was born in Tarry-
town, near Washington Irving S
SLEEPY Hollow" Mr.. Ferris knew tne
author. His love OF history led him to
an adventurous life in his youth. AT
the age of seventeen he ran away from
home and shipped upon the warship
Jane, which, commanded by Ad-
miral Porter, was engaged in breaking
up slave trading and piracy about the
West Indies.
Ferris left the navy after four years
service, came to New York, and mar
ried Miss Rebecca Rice. Up to this
time he had never worn an overcoat,
but on his wedding day he purchased
beaverskn coat. 1t was stolen on the
bridal journey, and he then vowed that
he would never wear another overcoat.
He kept his word, and apparently new
er suffered from cold weather. If Mr..
Ferris had business to transact in New
York he walked from Mount Vernon
and back again.
Mrs. Bisland, Mr.. Ferris daughter,
said last night: Father was known
to be worth $1,O00000, though he never
told anyone how his money was In
vested. Where the riches are is mys-
terry which we hope that paper men,
toned in the will will solve"

DEATHS FROM DISEASE.
They Outnumber Loss of Life In Bat
tie Four to One.

CHICAGO, Sept g. - The Tribune
says: While $50 officers and men have
been killed in battle or have died of
wounds received during the war, there
have died of disease in camps some
where between 1900 and 1000 volun-
teers and regulars. After over week
Of effort, 1t has been possible to secure
the names of 1881 who answered their
country's call for men to fight, only to
die in fever-stricken camps, on trans
ports, or, perhaps, at home, after con-
tracing the dread malady at one of
the camps.
There is no doubt about the 1921
whose names have been secured. Meth
er is there much doubt that there
are hundreds dead whose names could
not be secured on account Of lack of
re cords and the inability or unwilling
ness of army officers to furnish lists
Of the dead.
Typhoid, malaria, yellow fever, dys-
entery and other diseases have carried
off nearly twenty d day, and the aver
age is increasing.
Camp Thomas the worst pesthole
of all-hardly excepting Santiago
leads the list with 352 deaths since
the camp was established in the latter
part Of April. The manner Of securing
names at this camp made it impossi-
bic to get the diagnosis in each case,
but this information was had in enough
instances to show the claim that rs
per cent of the deaths there is due to
typhoid is not an exaggeration.
ne
cured OF only seventy-five, while it is
officially admitted 100 have died at the
camp and in adjacent hospitals, and
many have left on furloughs to die at
home after contracting disease at the
camp.
Santiago-now a camp of practically
only immunes and $50 sick in hospitals
has a record Of deaths much greater
than the S41 for which names were
procurable.
Eighty-eight have died on transports
and hospital ships. With few eXcep-
tions, these occurred on the trip home
from Cuba. The exceptions are the
half dozen who died en- route to Ma
Mia.
Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, during
its short existence has a record of
deaths numbering sixty three, and the
list is getting larger each day.
In many cases the cause Of death
in camps has been reported simply as
fever" This may be taken to mean
typhoid, malaria, or, in the case Of
Santiago, yellow, or the various tropt-
cal fevers which reduced the ranks
of Gen. Skaters army.
In the regular army there have been
290 deaths from disease. In the volun-
teers, Massachusetts heads the list
with a loss of 130, Illinois with 100
comes next, and New York with IS is
third. Losses for Northwestern states
are as follows:
Minnesota .......... .18 Montana .............
Wisconsin ......... AS Iowa ..............3 81

CALAMITY COMING.
DIR. Cyrus Edison Points Out Dangers
of MOntauk Point.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Dr. Cyrus
Edison, IN a signed letter to the New
York World, says OF conditions at
Camp Wikoff, at Montauk:
l believe that within another month typhoid
fever Will be epidemic there-not the ordinary
typhoid fever, such as we met in our prac-
tice in New York, but virulent form Of
the disease that will be a menace to the
whole country.
1t seems a horrible thing to say 1t, but
nevertheless, viewed from the standpoint of
a physician and a hygienist It would seem
more merciful to line the soldiers at Mon
tauk Point up and shoot at them, to sub
ject them to the most grave danger that can
be met with on the battlefld, than to give
them such water to drink these two ponds
from which they are being supplied contain.
The hand of fate is on Camp Wikoff. What
Is coming must be plainly seen. Natures
immutabie laws are working to effect the
deaths of hundreds perhaps thousands. Of
men to whom the American people are in
debted deeply for upholding the nation's g
honor.
The only possible way in which this terri
BILE calamity can be avoided Is by removing
the men from Camp Wikoff, and removing
them at once.

EIGHT HOURS WORK.
Platform of the Wisconsin Social
Democracy and Ticket Named.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 2.-The
Social Democracy of Wisconsin, held
its first convention this evening and
naninated the following ticket: For
governor, Howard Tutle, of Milwaukee;
lieutenant governor, e. P. Hassinger,
of Broadhead; secretary of state, c. T.
P. Myers, of Milwaukee: state treas
urer, August Mohr, of Sheboygan; at
Jorney general. Richard ElSner, of
Milwaukee; insurance commissioner,
Charles Richter, of Racine; superinten-
dent of public instruction, r. o. Stou.
of Eau Claire.
The platform declares in favor of
an eight-hour working day and an un-
broken rest for at least thirty-six
hours for every wage worker, every
work; the prohibition of the employ
ment of children under sixteen years
Of age and the employment OF women
at night in factories and workshops

except to say he regarded Gov. Black S
denomination as certain. Visitors to
his headquarters exclaimed dolefully:
IF Roosevelt Is nominated he will be
defeated worse than Folger was in
1882"
Frederick S. Gibbs, Congressman
Quigg and other Platt leaders at the
senator's Office, were prophesydng, al
most at the same time, that if Black
is renominated he will be whipped by
as great a plurality as Mckinley scored
over Bryan In New York in 1895.
Such was the evidence Of harmony
in the Republican party that was mani
tested today and such were the pre-
dictions made by presumably expert
Republican politicians as to the fate
of either Black or Roosevelt.

Of Senator Platt that he declare himself
publicly as to his preference for COVER

publican state convention as would seal
his fate AS the boss Of the machine.
Lieut. Gov Woodruff also pleaded
with the senator to make known his

Payn and Woodruff had to say, but
refused absolutely to define his position.

Black they would carry out their
threats to defeat him at Saratoga and

Soldiers.

CAMP WIKOFF, Montauk Point, L.
l., Sept. 2.-Maj. Gen. Wheeler has
given out correspondence and state
ment bearing upon the conditions of
soldiers, in which he claims that the
soldiers are not responsible for the
stories of starvation that have been
sent broadcast to deceive. He pro-
duced a letter from a sick soldiers
parents arraigning the government for
permitting American soldiers to starve,
while the Spanish prisoners were be-
ing fed upon the best the market af-
forded. Gen. Wheeler adds that the
soldiers expected 10 encounter hard
ships, and face the bullets Of the enc
my, and they did so bravely, without
a murmur. He denies that anything
like the hardships pictured exist at
any of the camps.
