COSTLY GLASS OF BEER.
PntrOImnn Tschida Fined $25 for
QuenchinE His Thirst.

1t cost Patrolman Michael Tschida,
of the central detail, $25 to drink a
glass of beer Tuesday night. The Of
ticer did not pay the sum to the saloon
keeper, but Mayor Kiefer directed the
comptroller to deduct that amount from
the salary of Tschida for the month Of
August. Tschida was called into a
saloon at 104 East Seventh street,
Tuesday evening by the proprietor, and
before leaving he stepped into a side
room and dOwned a foaming glass of
beer.
Sergeant Davis either saw or heard
Of the beer drinking act and promptly
suspended the patrolman. Mayor Kiefer
investigated the matter yesterday and
after hearing the evidence and the
statement of the officer had the follow
ing letter indited and forwarded to
Comptroller McCardy:
Il have the honor to inform you
that l have this day fined Officer
Tschida $25 for neglect Of duty, by be-
ing in saloon and drinking beer in
the same. You are instructed to with
hold that amount from his August
pay"
The mayor informed the officer that
a strict discipline must be maintained
and that a repetition Of the offense
would result in his dismissal.

FIREMEN IN ALASKA.
What the Men Formerly With the
st. Paul Department Are Doing.

What the Men Formerly With the
81. Paul Department Are Doing.
Friends Of the firemen who left the
department to go to the Klondike last
spring have received letters from the
gold seekers bearing the news Of their
safe arrival In Alaska and telling of
their search for wealth. None of the
firemen, according to the last reports,
had yet struck it rich" but they are
in the gold country and hopefully pros
pecting for a strike"
The dremen left ST. Paul in two diff
ferent parties, the Zahn party and the
Johnston cStay party. After travel
ing the many thousands of miles to the
gold fields they are all located In the
same section Of Alaska, in the Stewart
river country. With the Zahn party
was Former Lieutenant Norbert Scheff-
hansen. of truck No. 8, while the fire
men of the other party are Former
Captain Johnston of the salvage corps;
George Wright, who drove No 4 en-
CINE; John Hubel, Of truck No. 5, and
Peter McStay, formerly captain of En-
CINE Company No. 4.
Lieut.. Lowe, of truck No. 2, at head
quarters has received several letters
from members of the Zahn party. He
says they are all well, and through
them he heard how the JOhnstOn-Mc-
Stay party was getting along. While
prospecting the Stewart river country
the Zahn party came upon George
Wright. of the JOhnstOn-M cStay party,
enCamped alone on the river Wright
was taking care of the outfit of his
party while his companions had gone
further up the river with five months
provisions on a prospecting expedition.

Lieut.. Loves letters say that the gold
hunters have found some of the pre-
cious yellow dust, but not in large
quantities. At the last report they
were washing dirt that yielded 10 cents
to the pan, paying labor but not a
rapid road to wealth. However, the
members of both parties were in the
best of health when the letters were
written and had not given up hope Of
striking it rich"
Felix O'Neil, formerly lieutenant Of
Chemical Company No. l, and Once Pa
trOlman Casey, who went to Alaska to-
gether, have returned to this city. They
reached Dawson City, but concluded
not to prosecute their fortune hunting
any further.

TRAVEL Is HEAVY.
TranscOntinentaI Lines Carrying an
Unusual Number of PaSsengers.

Travel to and from the coast now is tn
heaviest that has been known in years Both
the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern
are carrying great trainloads Of passengers
for coast points every day. Both lines are
Obliged to increase the length of their trains
and every berth in first and secord-clas
sleepers Is occupied. There seems no diminu-
ton of traffic, and the strange part of it Is
that the travellers are not business people
but ordinary mortals, who go to the coast
and return a week later
The low rates to the coast are undoubtedly
the cause Of the passenger movement Tick
cts to the coast now cost only $40 ard at
the end Of the journey the companies re-
fund $40, so that the round trip costs only
$2O Sleeping berths, OF course, are charged
for at standard rates additional.
1t is the most surprising thing 1 ever
saw, said the agent of one of the coast lines
Yesterday. THE people seem to come from
all over the country 1 was in Seattle lately.
and there l found that the Eastern relatives
of every family in Seattle had visited them
during the summer. They came out there
for the trip and to see the country. 1t was
cheaper for them to travel than to stay
home, and they spent their money in that
way. Few permanent settlers, in comparison
with the transients go to the coast They
all come back this way. But the low rate
keeps the stream Of travel moving to and

MONEY COMING IN FAST
ENORMOUS INCREASE IN INTERNAL,
REVENUE RECEIPTS

The Total for Last Month Will Run
to About $25O,OOO, OF which
$4,000 Comes From the Sale of
Stamps - Predicted the Govern
meht VIII Have More Money Than
1t VIII Know What to- Do With.
There will have to be several addi-
lions built on to the treasure house of
the United States if the money keeps
piling up at the rate that it is now
coming in. There is an enormous in
crease shown in the receipts Of the Of
flee Of the internal revenue collector
for this district, for the month of
August. Just what the increase is the
collector has not yet had time to fig
ure, but the total receipts for the month
that closed yesterday Appropriated
$253,OOO. OF this, $4,000 was taken in
on the sale of stamps and $48, 900 for
the added tax on beer.
The report Of the figures made by
the collector had gotten on to the
streets late yesterday afternoon, and
it was being talked about.
Il can't just see the end" said one
man, who has bought something like
5000 worth of stamps since the law went
into effect, but l can see what is ga
ing to be the immediate result The
country is going to have an enormous
surplus in spite Of the cost Of the war
and the deficit caused by the Dingley
bill. There was the sale Of bonds in
the first place, then this immense in
come from the special war tax, then
1T is likely that there will be a war
indemnity. With all this money in
sight the Republicans will begin 10
point with pride to a surplus, in spite
of fool taxation in the shape Of a tariff
and an excessive internal revenue tax
L am willing to pay my share Of the
war expenses, but am not in favor of
flling up the treasury to make Re-
publican campaign material"

CAUGHT FOR TEN.
II. LOhman's Experience With a
SvyindIer who. Went to Elmo.

H. Lehman, a storekeeper at Lake Elmo,
gave up $40 and endorsed an alleged forged
check for $35 for a well dressed stranger
Tuesday afternoon, under the impression
that he was accommodating the agent of an
orphan asylum about to be erected at the
lake. The alleged swindler gave the name
of Paul Mergroze, and claimed to represent
w. P. Jewett, of this city. He told the
liv eryman, j, J. Frank, of whom he hired
a team, that he was at the lake TO select a
site for an orphan asylum, which Mr.. Jewett
intended founding. The young man picked
out desirable site and, going to the depot,
produced a telegram, which he said was
from Mr.. Jewett, saying there was a $45
check at the lake Postoffice for him. He got
the check and asked Liveryman Frank to
cash it, The liveryman couldn't do so and
finally MIR. Lehman advanced $40 and gave
his personal check for the other $50 which
Frank endorsed After the young man left
the lake Frank and Lehman became suspic-
ious. They communicated with Mr.. JeWett
who pronounced the check a forgery. Pay
ment on the check was stopped.

ciGed 80 END Her Own Existence,
Agony.
Mrs Frederick w. Benson, wife Of
the proprietor of the Benson hotel at
Said Eagle lake, ended her life yes
terday by taking teaspoonful Of
strychnine. III health is believed to
have driven Mrs Benson to suicide.
When the poison first began to take
effect ON Mrs. Benson, it was not
known that she had attempted to kill
herself Yesterday morning at 10
o'cl0uis she complained of severe pains
in the stomach DR.. Francis was sum-
moned from White Bear lake, but suS-
pected nothing serious when informed
that Mrs. Benson had eaten heartily
of plums, and thought that Mrs. Ben
son was merely suffering from an at
tack of cholera mOrbus. He prescribed
for Mrs Benson and left. with in
strUctions TO the family that, if she
did not get better to again call him.
Half an hour the physician was hur-
redly sent for. Mrs. BensOn'S suffer-
ing had grown so intense that, in her
agony. she informed the doctor she bad
taken poison. Everything possible was
done by the physician to overcome the
effects If the stryChnine but it had
been too long in the system, and she
died at o'clock.
Mrs Benson has been in Ill health
for nearly twenty years which fact, it
is believed, finally led her to end her
suffering in death. She was not mo-
rose over her condition, and yesterday
morning remarked lightly to members
of the family that she had a Fremont
ton that she would die during the
dav. as il was the anniversary of the
death If her mother. When she ac-
knowleIged that she had taken poison,
DR.. Francis and Mr.. Benson searched
the premises and fOGnd bottle partly
filled with strychnine, in a closet
Mrs. Benson said she had taken
small teaspOonful Of the drug.
Mr.. and Mrs. Benson had bee4 mar
ried tWenty-fOur years. She was n W
three years of age. The family for1
merly lived at White Bear lake, where
Mr.. Benson conducted the Chataugay
hotel.
Mrs. Benson is survived by her hus-
band and two children, boys, one

years Of age. J. J. LOman, who is

KIND WORDS FOR FREEMAN.
State Normal Boards Action on the
WinOna Professors Departure.

The following resolutions regarding Prof
E. j. Freeman came before the state
normal board for consideration at it's meeting
last week:
Whereas, Prof E. ]. Freeman, B. S.. B.
Fd-, for seven years in charge of the de-
partment OF physical science at the state
normal school at Winona, has declined a re-
election to that position and will close his
connection with the institution on the first
of October next, this board takes this OPP
portunity to express its regret at the sever
ance OF a relation so acceptable and profit
able to the institution.
His exceptional skill and ability as
mechanical and electrical engineer. his apt
ness to teach, his power of illustration and
his genial and kindly influence over his
pupils are qualities too rarely combined in
the same personality and are cordially recog-
nized by the board and by the citizens of all
classes in the community where he has re-
sided during his connection with the school
"AppreciatiDg his worth as a man and his
professional services as teacher, we cor
daily commend him to the authorities of any
institution desiring to secure the benefits of
his talents and services
Director Morey asked to be excused from
voting on these resolutions, which We're
passed by the rest of the board, 7 to 0.

Garfield County's Fate Hnngs

The state county division board had the
yesterday, but reached no decision.
1t was the argument of the dvisionists
which was heard. They were represented by
Judge Jamison of Minneapolis, and j. P.
Johnson, of Polk county. The divsionists
desire to cut off the southeast corner of Polk
county and organize a new county named
Garfield, with Mcintosh as the county seat
The proposed new county is composed of
eighteen townships and still leaves Polk with
about forty townships more than twice
as many as the new organization.
