That the county treasurer is not the
least culpabie of the parties concerned
in the unlawful refunding of $4,000 in
premiums paid in on the May sale of
1897 taxes is Il fact that has been demon
strated in the investigation into the
transaction conducted by Bank Examiner
Pope and his assistants. 1t appears that
the warrants should not have been paid
because of a discrepancy in their form
even had the account on which they were
honored by the county treasurer been
valid an6 the property covered by the
warraAts previously redeemed.
Yesteld day County Treasurer Arosin's
attention was called to the fact that mis-
responsibility in the matter is even
greater than that of the county auditor
in whose office the illegal warrants were
drawn. The law provides that all war
rants drawn by the auditor shall bear
on their face the act or resolution under
which they are due. This was not the
case with the redemption warrants
Furthermore it appears that the treas
urer failed TO comply with the law in
rsing due caution III the matter The
CltcnllOI Oh tie DOiEu OF county COIh-
missioners, will, it was stated Yesterday
be forcibly called TO this phase of the
case.
The law covering the case is one with
which very few persons apepar to be
familiar and which the county treasurer
overlooked. 1t is contained in Chapter
42S of the special laws of 1891 and is
still in force and unaffected by any sub
sequent legislation. Section 1 says:
NO money shall be paid out of the
treasury CT Ramsey county, Mimi, for
any services rendered said county or for
any services or for any material for
which said county is liable save upon
the warrant of the county auditor Of
said Ramsey county, and said warrant
shall distinctly specify the legislative act
and the section thereof or resolution or
order under which said warrant is drawn
and the same shall be drawn in favor
Of the person performing the services or
furnishing the material for which said
money Is to be paid"
Section says:
Upon the presentation to said treas
urer of a warrant drawn as aforesaid the
treasurer of Ramsey county is authorized
to pay the same to the person named
IN the said warrant after said person has
endorsed said warrant, provided the law
resolution or order specified in said war
rant shall, together with this act, legally

One of the greatest industries in the
state of Minnesota Is the Union stock
yards, situated at South st. Paul. While
not located within the limits of the city
of St. Paul. 1t is, for all that, a st. Paul
enterprise, and its establishment growth
and prosperity, are eli due to the tire
less efforts of St. Paul men 1t is, how
ever an enterprise in which the whole
state should be interested for the whole
state is much benefited by its main
tenance. And yet, vast as IS this in
dustry and much as 1t means to the state,
but little is known of its workings out
side of a comparatively small circle Of
people, those directly interested in the
live stock business. Few people realize
the magnitude of the yards or the great
volume of business that is transacted
there. Few people realize or know that
very, very frequently a days business at
the Union stock yards is counted in the
hundreds of thousands of dollars
The growth of the yards and business
during the past two years has been but
little short of phenomenal. The yards
were established in 1885, and for MANY
years there was much to contend with.

and Northwest had long used the Eastern

To this may be added every bit of the
nice finishing work which was done in
the church. When the church was
completed and the altar cloths were
ready to be embroidered, he designed
and cut out the figures to be worked
on them. He also taught the congre-
CATION how to sing the hymns and
chants and played the organ until he
had an organist trained, as the service
was not familiar to many of the peo-
pie here at that time. What is true of
his connection and association with
this church is also, in part, true Of
other churches that he has caused to
be built, perhaps three or four, in his
rounds as a missionary. His work ex-
tends over many years, and it is thus
complete and beautiful in all the places
he has been." This story is correct in
every particular, as far as it goes; but
it is only fair to add that some cash
was required in the building and most
of this was furnished by DR.. w. An
derson.

MURDERER OF HER HUSBAND.
Third Trial of the Self-Made Widow q
Greenville.

Third Trial of the self-Made Widow at
Greenville.
The third trial of Mrs. Matte Hugh
es, the pretty Greer's woman, charged
with the murder of her husband, whom
she shot down at their home last fall
because be accused her of infidelity,
began yesterday afternoon, says a
Greenvile special of Wednesday to
the Atlanta Journal.
Up to the adjournment of this morn
ing's session II state witnesses had
been examined, and the evidence is
coming in more rapidly than at either
of the former trials, and is less full.
The theory of the state is that Mrs.
Hughes murdered her husband because
she was tired of him; that on the
night of the shooting, after violent
quarrel, during which the neighbors
heard her swearing loudly, he sat down
by the fire. She stood over him with
a revolver in her hand, and pointing
to the clock, said:
~ will give you two minutes to get
up and fight like man, or die like a
d. dog that you are"
At the expiration of the time, with
her little seven-year-old boy crying,
"Mamma, don't shoot papa" she delib-
erately raised the weapon and fired,
mortally wounding her husband.
The defense claims accident, admit
ting quarrel the cause of Mrs. Hughes
being falsely accused but alleging
that Hughes tried to grasp the weapon
from his wife and was shot in doing So.
The husbands dying statement was
admitted in evidence this morning.
In it he says his wife shot him without
cause after giving him two minutes to
get up and fight. He admits having a
revolver in his own pocket at the time ;
but says it was not for her. He says
he had told her hundred times that
she was the only woman he ever loved
and would not injure her even in self
defense.
Three leading lawyers are employed
on each side. The case will hardly
reach the jury before Friday. Mrs.
Hughes changed her dress this morning.
She has Grape in her hat; but still re-
sists the flowing widows bonnet she
wore at the previous trials. She is
flushed this morning and seems de-
cidedly more worried than at former
trials, although it is generally thought
she now has better hopes of acquittal
than ever before. However, another
mistrial is not improbable. The feel
ing for and against her is about evenly
divided.
That portion of Hughes's dying
in which he said that DR.. H.
B. Westmorland, who was one of the
most prominent and highly connected
men in this section of the county,
violated his oath as a brother Mason
came out for the first time this after
noon, and it created a sensation.
The statement was read in open
court; but was afterward stricken
from the record. DR.. Westmorland
has not appeared at any of the trials.
