WRONGED WIFE'S SAD sTORY
Would Not HIVE Tried to Collect
Her Husbands Money Except
to Help Her Small
Children.

EX-Detective Charles F. Meyers dis
creditable treatment Of his family was
again brought to notice yesterday, when
Mrs Meyer called at the city hall Cd
collect her husbands salary for June
and found that she had been forestaIIed
June was the last month that Meyer
was in the employ of the city and his
salary, with the rest of the police pay
roll, had been held up in various ways
until this time, but Mrs. Meyer conf
IDENTIFY expected that it would be paid to
her until yesterday, when she found that
it had been assigned to the proprIeto
of the Metropolitan hotel As has all
ready been published, Meyer boarded for
a time at the hotel with a woman other
than his wife, and when the disclosure
of that fact made it necessary that he
should move he owed quite a board bill.
and the proprietor Of the hotel would not
allow him to remove HIS property with
out settlement of some kind. To avoid
this difficulty Meyer then assigned his
claim against the city to the hotel man.
Meyer has net been living with his wife
since, and it is generally reported among
his acquaintance that he has left the
city.
Mrs. Meyer when seen last evening at
her home, no Cook street. although not
disposed to discuss her family troubles
at length, said:
Il did call today at the comptrouer's
office to collect Mr.. Meyers salary, but
found that l could not do so. I was
Informed that Mr.. Meyer had called there
with the proprietor OF a hotel and had
told Mr.. McCardy not to countersign the
check for his salary until he and the ho-
tel man came there together Had it not
been for my four little children I should
not have made any effort to get the
money, but I felt that 1t was a duty
that I owed to them. I do not know
where my husband is now, but I am
sure he Is out of the city. I am In
formed that 1 cannot get the money
without an order from him. I had been
led to believe, however, that the money
would be paid to me-"

ST. PAU MAKES 4 TENDER
FORMAL OFFER TO THE NATIONAL
BU1vTERMAKERS' ASSOCIATION
TO COME HERE
COMMERCIAL CLUB ACTING
Fifteen Hundred Dollars in Cash,
Free Halls for Meetings and
Exhibits and Other
Inducements.

The ST Paul Commercial club, through
its secretary, Mr.. C. P. Slime, has made
a formal proposition to the National
Buttermakers' association, receipt of
which was acknowledged by Mr.. SUDDEN
dorf Monday of last week.
st. Paul is liberal in its proposition.
| The Commercial club offers $1,5OO in
cash to go into the premium and expense
fund; free halls for the daily sessions,
butter exhibit and machinery hall, and
free carriage for all exhibits to and from
the depots to the halls.
These were the demands of the associa-
ton, and while it was agreed to by the
st. Paul people, it has not been known
to a certainty until Monday.
President Haskell will meet the execu-
tive committee at Des Moines, To-, the
18th of this month for the purpose Of
taking official action upon the PROPOSE
ton, although there is no probability CT
it being other than favorably considered.
After this Secretary Sudendorf will begin
an active canvass for the 5000 premium
fund and commence arrangements for
what he expects to be the greatest show
in the history of the national butter
makers conventions.
St Paul, says d Chicago trade journal
will be the largest city in which the ma
donal convention was ever held. In
fact, there are many who fear the meet
ing viii be less successful in so large a
place, the city having close to 200. eco
people. But the meetings have outgrown
medium-s.zed cities. At Lincoln. at the
last convention, hotel room was made
quate, and it was thought wise to try
larger city as an experiment.
St Paul is an ideal city, for railroad
purposes 1t is the center for seven sys-
TENS, which tap all sections of the
Northwest and is probably the most &C
cessible Of any city in which the meet
ings have ever been held. While it is
far north, the railroad rates and excel
lent service on all the lines leading to
the city will make the trip comparative
ly unimp0rtant, taking into considera-
ton also the low rates which have been
feature Of the meetings of the past few
years.
There is considerable to see of interest
at st. Paul st. Anthony Park, where is
located the Minnesota experiment sta
ton and dairy school, under charge OF
Prof. Hacker, is in reality in the city
of ST Paul, and as this dairy school is
one Of the best known and equipped in
stitutions in the United States, the Wis
itors will doubtless enjoy a visit of in
spection in a body. Then there are two
cities to furnish hotel accommodat atoms
Minneapolis can be reached with inter
urban electric cars in less than half an
hour for a fare of 10 cents, and is good
hotel town as well as st. Paul, being of
greater population
The experiment of holding a convention
in large city will be looked forward to
with great deal of interest by those
who are interested in the success of the
meeting.
