DEATH OF CHAS. A. B. WETDE
FORMER WELL KNOWN CITIZEN
OF ST. PAUL DIES AT
ROCHESTER,
Was Associated With the Growth
of the City During a Number of
It's Most Prosperous Years-LOst
His Reason Some Time Ago.

Mr. Charles A. B. Weide, formerly one
of st. PauPs prominent and substantial
citizens, died in the Rochester insane
hospital yesterday. A few years ago Mr.
Weide lost his reason, and it was at the
time hoped that under expert medical
treatment it would eventually be re-
stored The Improvement hoped for
never came, but terminated In his death.
Maj Newson's Pen Pictures contain
the following sketch of Mr. Weide:
The hard times, the depression in prop
erty, the struggle, the loss the anxiety
incident to all old settlers of ST. Paul
We're only things of history in Mi
Welde's case. for at one time he was on
the top wave Of prosperity. He was
movements, yet quiet in his ways. Born
in Germany in 1888, he immigrated with
his parents to this country in 1894 and re-
moved to place called Egypt, in Illinois
and from thence to Cincinnati, O.. and
thence to Madison, Ind; thence to IN
dianapolis, in 1850, where he opened a
store, and remained in business there
some two years, and half; came to st.
Paul In 1883, and was employed with his
rather IN store up to 1857, when the lat
ter turned the business over to himself
ana his brother Joseph, giving them s. OOO
to work on. The brothers built up a large
trade on Third street, where they were
burned out in 1867, and following came
long and holly contested law suit for
the insurance money, which was finally
won by the Weides, after the case had
gone to the United States court Then
they did little or nothing up to 1871, and
from that year began dealing in real
estate and continued up to 1876 when
Charles was taken sick and remained so
up to 1882, and then he returned to ST
Paul and again tackled real estate and
did exceedingly well. He sold his own
land, and on Arlington hills and Nelson
EastVille nights addition he has sold over
700 lots. He has recently donated two
lots to the Swedish and Norwegian Meth
odist churches. He was married in 1860
to Louise, daughter of Caspar H. Schur-
meier, and had one son and daughter.

ANTITRUST CONFERENCE.
Various Lawyers Throughout the
State to Participate.

The participants in the antitrust con-
ference to be held today in the office of
Attorney General Douglas will be chief
Iy lawyers of the state. There will, how
ever, be present a number of business
men who are prominently active in
their opposition to the octopus"
Among the questions to be considered
is a course of procedure to test the valid
ity of the law passed last winter against
trusts. 1t is quite likely that the new
milling trust will receive careful and de-
Lucrative consideration by the confer
ence. Attention will be devoted to the
weak and strong points of the law, al
though It is not considered that any
law can be framed that can prevent the
legitimate transfer of property from one
party to another. Under the present law
it is difficult to see how such parties can
be reached. A large increase in the capt.
tai stock of the milling company is mere
ly provided for, under it's amended arti-
cles Of Incorporation, and there is no in
dication that a transfer of stock had been
made.

WAITING FOR FRIENDS.
Margaret McManus Acts Strangely
and Is Detained.

Judge Bazille yesterday In the probate
court held a preliminary examination
as to the sanity of Margaret McManus,
a good-loolzing woman about thirty-f1ve
years old, who was turned over to the
authorities by the officials of st. Joseph's
hospital. Last Teusday she appeared
during the forenoon IN the ante chamber
of the governors office at the capitol and
declared that she must see Gov. Lind and
James J. Hill on important business. She
was persuaded to go away by the mes
senger and went to st. Josephs where
she asked for dinner. Her strange be-
havior led to her being placed in Gus
toby.
In court yesterday the woman refused
to give information in regard to herself
except to say that her name is Margaret
McManus, that she is unmarried and has
lived for a time IN Kandiyohi county
where she has relatives residing at Spi-
Ger. The examination was postponed in
order that the friends or relatives of the
unfortunate woman can be consulted in
regard to her disposition.

POLICE GET A HUNCH
MAYOR KIEFER REMINDS THEM
THAT THEY MUST PAY
THEIR DEBTS
TWAS A RICH BROWN ROAST

his ~orsnAp declares That n Fail
ure to- Pay Just Obligations VIII
Be Deemed Sufficient Cause for
Dismissal From the Force The
Public Reprimand Qualified with
"a Little Cheap Taffy.
AT the inspection of the second division
yesterday afternoon, Mayor Kiefer took
occasion to publicly express his dis
OF the police department, at the armory
pleasure with policemen who did not
promptly pay their debts Mayor Kiefer
said he had been overrun with COM
plants from various persons claiming
that policemen were indebted to them
and declared that hereafter if an officer
refused TO settle his just obligations such
conduct would be deemed sufficient cause
for dismissal from the force
Just why Mayor Kiefer went at 'snv
officers" In public about their debts is
not understood by the men, by whom the
caustic remarks Of the mayor are Wig
orously resented. Those present at yes
terday's inspection claim nothing was
said to the detail inspected last Saturday
dOouI paying ueDtS ana declare that
Mayor Kiefer did them an injustice in
making them the marks for the whole
department, or for one or two policemen
who may have allowed some obligation
to go unpaid. They claim that If the
mayor really wanted to bring about
proper action by some Of the policemen
the proper way would have been to have
admorished the delinquents in private in
stead of humiliating the entire division
before a crowd of spectators
After roasting" the blue coats the
mayor threw on a little soft soap by
stating that the policemen presented a
much better appearance than at the first
inspection a year ago. Then the men
claimed he took away this slight conso-
lation by adding that the Improvement
was almost wholly due to 'tyour superior
officers" and to "Scheef" Goss, in par

Give Rise to Great Deal of Re-
elimination and RancOr.
State Supt. ]. Fl. Lewis has been called
upon to referee a local school controver-
sy which involves more or less politics
and some bad feeling, in Blue Earth
county. Within ten days the Vernon Cen
ter News made vigorous attack on ex-
County Supt of Schools George w. Scher-
er, for the alleged fraudulent issuance of
twenty-four first grade teachers certif-
Gates and six second grade certificates
The article was very drastic in its terms
Throughout and demanded that the pres
ent superintendent, W. E. Freeman, re-
woke the certificates.
The publication caused considerable To-
cal feeling among the friends of Mr..
Seherer, and considerable adverse criticism
of the methods alleged to have been pur-
sued by Mr.. Scherer in issuing the certifi-
Gates. The article was reprinted in the
Mankato Review. After reciting the
charges against Mr.. Shecer the article
reads:
Two think the respectable people of the
county will unite with us in our conclu-
sion that if there is no law in the state
bearing on such stupendous fraud there
ought to be, and the guilty party severely
dealt with
ILLEGALITY CLAIMED.
Proceeding further the Vernon Center
News accused Mr.. Scherer of issuing the
certificates, so near election, for the pur-
pose OF getting votes. The paper refers
to the issuance Of the certificates as it
claims Illegally, as "nefarious practice
The Mankato Review, in commenting on
the matter, says that 1t was brought to
Supt. Freeman's notice shortly after he
succeeded Mr.. Scherer in office, and that
later the disposition of the matter was
referred to State Supt. Lewis, and that he
roundly condemned the act of Mr.. Scher-
err This turns out, however to be in
correct, as the first that MI. Lewis knew
OF the matter was when Mr.. Scherer- call
ed at his office the other day to give his
version of the affair.
After the publication Of the Vernon Cen
ter News story in the Review, Mr.. Scher-
er came to his own defense in an open
letter published i'll the same paper He
asserted that his acts were open to pub
lie scrutiny and that he violated no law
in issuing the certificates. Mr.. Scherer
In the communication, quotes the law on
the subject, which provides that no teach
er shall be given certificate until the
examination has been taken, but the
county superintendent can renew such
certificates. Mr.. Scherer does not deny
that he issued the thirty certificates but
he asserts that he issued them to teach
ers who were entitled to them. He would
he says, publish the names of the teach
ers referred to If he thought it would
he
issued were, he claimed, issued in compli-
ance with the letter and spirit of the
law. In concluding, Mr.. Scherer accuses
Supt. Freeman of inspiring the article,
which originally appeared in the News,
and supplemented the statement with the
declaration that he thought Mr. Free
man too much of a gentleman to conde-
scend to such an act Mr.. Freeman, the
next day, In another letter printed in the

EVERYBODY STIRRED UP.


The several publications have stirred
up the whole county over the affair." and
in some of the discussions in the papers
it has been claimed that the issuance of
the thirty certificates to incompetent
teachers has considerably lowered the
standard of the educational institutions
of the county. The statement was also
made that some deserving districts had
been deprived of the $50 state aid, and
the money given to districts in which
these teachers have been employed Pub
lie sentiment Is somewhat divided on
the subject, Mr.. Scherer had
many friends and was we'll regarded as
county superintendent of schools. The
fact remains, however, that these certifi-
Gates We're claimed to have been issued
to teachers who were not entitled to
them, and the demand made that they be
evoked.
1t is doubtful if the present superin-
tendent, Mr.. Freeman, will revoke the
certificates after so much coTnmotion has
been stirred up and the matter has been
referred to State Supt. Lewis, with the
suggestion that he take a hand in the
matter A private conference was held
between Mr. Lewis and ex-County Supt
Scherer Tuesday, but nothing could be
learned of the result of tErir delibera-
tons.
A delegation is expected Un from Blue
