DEATH COMES SUDDENLY.
B. w. Smith Stricken at the Govern
ment Printing Office.

While seated in a chair conyersing at the
Government Printing Office about i:40
o'clock this morning B. W. Smith, sub
stitute watchman, sixty years of age, was
seized with a sudden illness and dled be-
fore medical assistance arrived. DR.. James
l.. Suddarth. of S17 North Capitol Street,
who was summoned, stated that in his be-
lief death was due 10 heart disease. After
he had pronounced life extinct the police
were communicated with and Morgue Mas
ter Schoenebener took charge OF the body.
Coroner Carr was notified and viii issue
certificate of death from natural causes.
The deceased lived at Goa Acker Street
northeast. Arrangements for the funeral
have not been completed.
Smith was not regularly employed at the
Government Printing Office. 1t was his
custom, however, to report there TO the
captain of the watch every morning. In
the event that any member OF the watch
was absent from duty because OF illness
or other reasons Smith did substitute duty.
He had not been thus engaged since Sat
urday.
When he arrived at the Government
Printing Office this morning Smith seated
himself with Watchman w. A. Sellers at
the North Capitol Street entrance OF tne
building. There were no absentees among
the watchmen, and consequently there was
no duty for Smith to perform.
He complained Of not feeling well and
having ample time at his disposal, decided
to remain at the Office for a while in the
hope that the feeling would wear off.
Smith did not think his condition at all
serious and spoke of it casually.
In the midst Of a conversation Sellers
was surprised and greatly alarmed to see
Smith suddenly gasp for breath and his
head fall forward. There was slight
CzI1 4ol fo
assist Smith the man was inanmate. Help
was at once summoned and messenger
sent for Dr. Suddarth, whose Office is just
above the Printing Office on H Street. He
made a hasty examination and stated that
he could be of no service. He was not
sure of the cause of death, but said the
indications were that it was heart trouble.

CHAPTER ON PARKS.
New Charter Makes a Number of
Changes From the Present.

New Charter Makes q Number of
Changes From the Present.
But eight members of the charter COM
mission, a bare quorum, attended the
session last evening. The absentees We're
Messrs. Flandrau, Nelson. Fetter, Nc
Nair, May, Bridgman and Childs. Vice
President Doran presided. Those present
were Messrs. Doran, Tighe, Taylor, Gift
ford, O'Brien, Smith, Albrecht and ZiIn-
norman.
The subcommittee on park board re-
ported a chapter on the subject. The
important changes are that the member
ship is increased from four to five, and
the term made five insteod Of two years.
The board under the new chapter fixes
the compensation of it's employees with
out the approval Of the council. The
section giving the secretary, who Is the
city clerk, 800 annually for services Is
omitted in the new chapter. A four-f1fths
instead of three-fourths vote is requir-
ed to acquire lands for parks.
A new section gives the board power,
either directly or by lease, Of privileges,
accommodations and entertainments,
as may be deemed proper. All policemen
and other employees are to be under the
supervision Of the park superintendent,
subject to directions Of the board. By
another section the board is empowered
to purchase lands or extensions ada.
cent to parks or parkways, provided the
sum expended shall not exceed $1,000 any
one year, the amount to be paid from
the park fund. The power Of the coun>
Gil to designate the number Of park po-
licemen and the compensation is taken
from that body and given to the board.
The general laws of 1899 relating to the
care Of boulevards and the planting Of
trees along the streets and boulevards
are incorporated in the chapter. The
board Is given power to control land
donated by gift for park purposes out
side the city limits.
| Mr.. Albrecht insisted that a section be
inserted prohibiting the construction and
operation Of any street car lines through
any Of the public parks Of the city, the
exception being that the park board
might allow terminal stations at or near
the entrance Of parks. The proposed
section was sent to the subcommittee,
with instructions to report back an
amendment covering the matter. The
laws passed by the last legislature re-
lating to the care Of boulevards and
lawns, and the planting Of trees on bou>
levards, was referred back to the sub
committee, there being some question as
to whether it was advisable to put them
in the park board act.

ICE CROP SHORT.
Iceman's Face Is Not Wreathed In
Smiles These Days.

The question Chow would you like to
be the Ice man?'' is answered by st. Paul
dealers just now in the negative. They
join in saying that so far the season Of
ice harvest has been very disappointing.
Not only is the ice thin, and with such
weather as yesterday daily growing
thinner, but the roads are in a terribly
poor condition for hauling.
The st. Paul Lake Ice company began
the harvest last season. on Dec. 15, 1898.
They did not commence cutting the pres
ent season until Jan. IA, 1900, with ice 1411z
inches thick. Now it is but Is inches,
and couple of inches of water is on top
Of the ice. Unless weather conditions
radically change, the outlook for crop
Is most discouraging. The ST. Paul COM
pany cut about half of their crop from
White Bear lake.
The Peoples Ice company tell the same
tory. At this time last year fully half
the crop was harvested, and of superior
quality. Now they are way behind both
with cutting and hauling. Instead of
ice becoming thicker, the outlook now
Is that it may, possibly, fade away to
such an extent that it may become USE
less.
Other dealers tell the same story. 1t
is with no desire to bull the ice market.
The conditions are plain to all people,
and can be readily appreciated. Febru-
airy, which is usually a snug winter
month in Minnesota, may effect change
for the better in the ice business. None
of the companies have yet secured half
a crop.

ONE DAIRYMAN'S EXPERIENCE
What DR.. Ohageis Inspection Did for
r. e. Woodward.

What DR.. Ohageis Inspection Did for
r. e. Woodward.
r. E. Woodward, a farmer of Langdon
and dairyman on large scale, tells
the following experience he has had with
DR.. Ohage's Inspectors:
Six cows from my herd of 10S were
condemned for milking purposes, one of
beef. The board of health gave We me- me- the the
privilege Of keeping the same animal and
raising calves from her and selling them
for veal, which of course think would
nave been consumed, for foedoby the resi-
dents or st. Paul, or at least small por-
ton Of them, but they will not allow me
to sell milk for consumption in st. Paul
drawn from THIS same cow The other
five head were driven to South st. Paul
and sold to Swift & Co. for beef, subject
to dead inspection. said inspection being
made by the state inspector. assisted by
the government Inspector; cows were
weighed, and passed to slaughter house
and butchered, four Of them going for
beef and the fifth one was condemned.
tre over SIS per head said s COWS % we
worth at least $36 per head to me for
milking purposes, which means a loss to
me Of about $50, But I think this a
balance. I have had twelve fresh mich
COWS since they were inspected and am
not getting as much milk today as be-
fore the inspection and from 60 to Is gal
Ions per day less than my herd has aver
aged for the past six years at this time
in the season, which means a daily loss
to me Of from Sc to $3.50. Of the twelve
fresh cows, not one of them have come
to their milk in the manner that they
should have done. or that they have done
at former times. Some of them do not
average a quart of milk per day and the
best of them are not giving over two gall
Ions; at low. estimate they should each
have averaged at least three gallons per
day. The calves also are in a very bad
condition, many Of them not being able
to stand, and they finally die. None of
should be, or as the calves from my cows
formerly were before any inspection took
place. I think that my herd of cows, now
tom, will not get over the effects of said
inspection before the time for turning out
to grass next May, or five months from
never fully recover from the effects of it.
Considering that my cows do no better
from now on for the next five months

Lifted From Rice Street.
Assembiyman Albrecht says he will
push to vote the resolution introduced
by him Thursday night, annulling the
final order for the paving Of Rice street
from College avenue to Front street with
brick. Property owners on the street
who are opposed to brick paving are busy
circulating petitions protesting against
the brick paving, and when the assembly
committee on streets takes up tfrs>resolu-
ton of Assemblyman Albrecht, it Is
promised that 80 per cent Of the owners
names will be on the petition opposing
brick paving. sr
Owners north of Como avenue are Of
the opinion that a good macadam road
way, such as advocated by City Engineer
Claussen in his report, would answer
every purpose, and be much less ex-
uensiye than either brick or asphalt.
Following are the resolutions passed
by the st. Paul Real Estate exchange
against any further use of brick Tor

ELIXIR OF LIFE.

Beechams Pills cure Bilious and Nerv-
Gus Disorders. Stomach Troubles, Female
Ailments and hundreds of minor COM
plants. They have the largest sale Of
any patent medicine in the world.
Beechams Pills are true tonic, a
harmless stimulant from which there is
no reaction, painless, effectual laxa-
tive, and specific for the cure Of fifty
per cent of all diseases. They probably
come as near being an elixir Of long life
as anything created by human hands.
The virtue of Beecham's Pills does not
result from any lucky combination Of
standard remedies, but rather from some
beneficent, occult power, inherent In
itself.
