Paul with four Of the children gathered
together by the women Of the COM
mons. They were home sick, poor little
souls. Green grass, sure enough cows
milk, and pure fresh air could not take
the place of the mother and the home
no matter how lowly the latter might
be. And after trying vainly to keep
the mites interested in their new sur
roundings they were returned to their
families.
In one case In particular 1t seemed
too bad. The little girl was in Ill
health, had recently come from the
hospital and had few necessities, not
to speak Of comforts, at home. But
home she wanted to go, and fearing to
make her i'll again, home she was sent.
The ST. Paul commons sends out par

five go out next week. Last week ff-
teen were sent to Cylon, Wis. Miss
Nellie Hanson has the work in charge.
Much more good lis done by these out
ings than the temporary good Of the
air and food.
The children's lives are broadened,
they see how others live, and they
bring their new ideas back with them,
and many homes are benefited and ele-
waited by the excursions of the little
ones into the country.

The grand review, with which the
performances in Buffalo Bills Wild

at precisely and 8 o'clock p. H.,
Tuesday, Aug. 9.
The metropolitan newspapers have
devoted many columns of glowing de-
scription to it, and to form any COM
mensurate idea of it's magnitude and
attractiveness one must imagine ka-
leidoscope with an object field nearly
five acres in extent, occupied by &
swiftly moving mass of figures, aggre-
eating hundreds, individually pic
turesque, brilliant with metallic refec-
lions and gay with colors, momentarily
springing and flashing into new COM
hinationS and modes Of motion, which
dazzle, confuse and fascinate the eye
of the beholder.
The temporary Centaur, the horse
nan combination seen in each Of these
rough riders when in action, arouses
enthusiasm to the boiling point and
stirs the hearts blood as no other spec
tacle could short of the clash of armies
or volcanic eruption. When band
after band of Indians, cowboys, gau-
chos and vaqueros, galloping swiftly
with wild yells, huttering drapery and
circling lariats, are followed by the
brilliantly armed and equipped caval-
ry Of the great standing armies Of the
world, all in succession charging UP
the field, wheeling with characteristic
salutes and retreating at full speed
the laundering of the horses hoofs,
the snorting Of fiery steeds, the tramp
and roar of the moving mass, the wav-
ing of flags and pennons, the flaunt-
ing of the plumes of the riders and the
flashing of lances, spears and sabers,
send through the spectators an electric
flood of vital sympathy with the wild
energy, martial force and heroic grace
of the army of Centaurs.

Chief Schweitzer hesitates to pro-
ncunce the case one Of murder, but Is
likewise loath to say 1t was suicide.
Inc fact that there was no empty shell
in the revolver found beside the body
seems to absolutely preclude the sui
eide theory, butethe chief thinks it pos
sible that the Shell may have drop
ped from the pistol when 1t was first
opened. Officer Hanson, however. who
picked up the pistol and examined 1t
with Deputy Coroner L. A. Nelson, de-
clares positively that he broke the bar
rel carefully and that there was no
shell IN the weapon. Deputy Coroner
Nelson says he watched the officer open
the revolver barrel and also says that
no shell dropped out. Notwithstanding
these statements Chief Schweitzer put
half dozen men to work raking the
ground near the bushes in search Of
an empty shell or any other evidence
that might be discovered.
Coroner Nelson continued an investi-
cation yesterday Independently Of the
police, but said last evening that he
had discovered nothing new in the case.
He experimental yesterday in getting
a body through the barb wire fence
about the office. and found that one
man could easily slide living body
under the fence, leaving little or no
Indication Of the operation.

Up.

G. A. MOering, a London, Eng, en-
gineer Of note, passed through the city
yesterday on his way back to London
after a visit Of six months to the ORR
ent, preliminary to laying out rail-
road from Pekin to the interior. Mr..
Moering Is accompanied by G. e. D.
Black, an English capitalist largely In
terested In the English syndicate which
is to build the second railroad ever con-
structed within the bounds of the
FIowery Kingdom.
When seen last night at the Ryan,
Mr.. Black said: "The immense indem-
nifty which China was compelled to
war, has left the nation greatly In debt,
and It is with view to paying the in
terest and part of the principal that
the Chinese government has granted
concessions to Germany, England and
Belgium to build number Of railroads
through various parts of the kingdom.
The last loan, $4,000, 600, to pay the
second installment ON it's debt to Japan,
was from German sources, although it
was negotiated through the English
government The Chinese are anxious
to get on their feet once more, and
have opened their country to foreigners
as never before. Material for the con-
struction of railroads or other improve
ment for that matter, is just as cheap
as i'm other countries, and the labor is
very cheap, indeed, SO that it can read
lily be seen that the proposed transpor-
cation lines can be constructed at
merely nominal cost. The roads will
open up the interior provinces Which
have for centuries been without any
connection with the outside world
Mr.. Moering and myself were in
China. We visited some of the remote
provinces of the kingdom, and were
particularly struck with the great ben
eft which trunk line would be to the
country. The Chinese empire Is rich in
mineral deposits, yet the Chinese have
made little progress in mining
THE Jardine- Mathiason company, a
wealthy English firm Of Chinese mer-
chants, having tea stations at all the
principal entry ports, have secured
permission from the government to
build a road from Shanghai to Nan
King. A Belgium firm will construct
another from Pekin to Hong Kong
The first railroad built in the Orient is
Just being completed, from Pekin to
Shank Hal KWan, distance Of about
$50 miles.
II might say here that a road is also
being built from one of the northern
provinces of the cars realm into
Northern China. Russia has arquired
considerable in that section of China,
and the car has shown a friendly
spirit by assisting in the construction
of this road.

eH" Cost"SOme POINTS on which
Rulings Have Reen Made by the
Comm1ssioner-One of Impor-
tance to Real Estate Men.
Means have already been discovered
whereby the war revenue tax may he
lodged in some small particulars. The
stamp that must be put on the check
OF a depoSitor in a savings bank would
not be worth quarreling about, it would
seem, but one man has discovered a
way to avoid putting the stamp on
by not drawing a check. The COM
missioner of revenue was asked some
Gays ago whether stamp was neces-
sary on the receipt that is given
savings bank when money Is with
drawn. The commissioner in a deci-
sion that reached st. Paul yesterday.
says that no stamp is necessary on
such receipt. Hereafter the man VINO
wants to dodge the tax and who has
money In savings bank will not draw
check for what he wants, but go to
the bank with his book, get his money,
hand over receipt, and thereby do"
the government out of it's rights.
Another decision affects the stamp
Ing of due bills. A country merchant
inquired of the commissioner if a stamp
was necessary on due bill given for
merchandise. For instance, a farmer
takes to his trader eggs or butter, does
not receive money and does not re
quire groceries. The trader gives him
Cue bill for SO much money payable
in merchandise! The commissioner says
that stamp is not necessary on such
a writing.
Produce brokers who are in the habit
of issuing certificates or tickets on the
receipt of hogs, cattle or produce in
qulred if stamps were necessary on
such certificates. 1t is decided that no
stamp is required.
A decision of Importance to real
estate men is one that settles the
standing Of the agent for the owner in
the sale of piece of property. Such
agent is held not to be a broker and is
not subject to the yearly tax on per-
sons in the brokerage business. The
commissioner also decides that con-
tracts for the delivery Of deeds, such
as often pass among real estate men,
is only memorandum and cannot be
taxed. 9a-
