morning with his silver star pinned con-
spicuously on his coat. AS if led by some
unseen power he quickly reached the
Northern Pacific freight house. Without
the slightest hesitation he walked
through the spacious shed and selected
borrowed a Ratchet and drew the cover.
The box was nicely lined with paper and
a layer of roll butter was the first thing
he encountered. After unpacking a part
of the box he reached feathers. One by
one he drew out the birds and piled them
on the floor until he had of couple of
bushels. His next move was to look UP
the freight receipts and he found that
the game had been shipped by TIP from
a small station on the Northern Pacific
in Morrison county.
This is as far as the game wardens
can go. There being no way OF finding
out who shipped the game. the only re-
course for the wardens left Is to seize
the game and resell it. The commission
man loses nothing, as he Is not sup
posed to pay for a consignment of goods
until 1t reaches him. But when the game
commission seizes the shipment it never
gets to the commission man unless he
buys back from the executive agent The
seizure Of game seldom affects the COM
mission men, as the shipper stands the
loss.

would recommend in his next report that
a law be passed compelling shippers to
put their names on shipments. and pre-
scribing punishment for failing to do So.

A WONDERFUL SHOWING.
pany Wrote More Insurance Last
Year Than Any Other Company.

There are few people who read the pa.
pers and magazines these days who do
not know about The Prudential Insurance
Company for the rock of Gibraltar with
the word Prudential across it's face
has become very familiar sight.
The company has just given the public
an opportunity to read it's annual state
ment and thereby receive tangible proof
that The Prudential really has the
strength Of Gibraltar" as it claims.
Assets of over s93, 800, coo and surplus Of
over Sc. 900, 900 are certainly indisputable
evidences of financial strength like unto
a rock But unlike a rock this strength
is increasing year by year. The insur-
ance in force increased last year to over
$500 900, 600, while the annual income in
creased to over 500, 500, 600.
The Prudential is distinctively an in
dustrial company, but Of late years 1t
has come to play an important part in
the ordinary or large policy business, and
at the close of last year 1t had over
s113 600. 600 insurance in force in this de-
partment. It's payments to policy hold
ers during last year were over Sc. 25O,oO
showing grand total since its organiza-
ton, twenty-four years ago, OF over a.
100000. which is strong evidence OF me

Gate Inn," at the Metropolitan, will re-
member the little lady who played the
part of Dorothy Maitland, sister Of the
hero of the play, Col. Maitland. This was
Miss Helene Wintner. 1t has recently
developed, i'll New York, that Miss Whit
ner Is none other than the daughter of
Rev. Dr. Leopold Wintner, the rabbi of
Temple Beth Elohim, on Keap street. In
speaking on this subject, DR.. Wintner
recently said:
''There was no religious influence
brought to bear by me or any other to
prevent my daughter from going on the
stage. I tried to dissuade her, but she
being persistent and possessed of talent
and experience, I did not wish to deter
her any longer, and gave my consent"
Rabbi Wintner, number Of years ago,
was located in Sit. Paul, prior to the adj
vent Of Rabbi Hess. At that time his
daughter Helene was q mere child and,
doubtless, little dreamed of the brilliant
histrionic future before her. She is. as
an actress, certainly deserving of the
appreciation she now receives.

second annual report Of the chamber,

feature and something elaborate, making
the volume twice as large as any others
in the past. 1t will be handsomely Illus
trated with half-tone portraits and en-
cravings, and will give in succinct, yet
comprehensive, form descriptions and
statistics of every branch of the city
government of St. Paul, such as hospi-

Was Robbed of $500.

John Smith, living at Hugo. Mimi, re-
ported to the police yesterday that he
had been robbed of $500 at the Minnesota
Home, Third and Rosabel streets. He
claims to have put the money under his
pillow when he retired Tuesday night
and says his ''rolP' was missing when
he awoke yesterday morning. Detectives
Meyer and Christian Investigated the
case and say that Smith tells several
different stories about his alleged loss, SO
that it is hard to figure out just whar
became of his roll" if he lost it.
According to Smiths story he retired
with only what small change was lef.
from a $40 bill and the bundle of bits
constituting the $500. lie said at the
station yesterday he was broke but
when searched Sic in silver was found in
his pocket. Then at the hotel it was
learned that Smith had flashed roll
of confederate money Tuesday night and
after claiming to have been robbed yes
terday morning the police say Smith was
caught throwing this confederate monea
In the closet. John Herman, proprietor
of the hotel thinks Smith was not
robbed To Chief Getchell Smith claimed
to have gotten the money he says he lost
by selling a farm, while Detective Meyer
says Smith told him the money was
from the sale of potatoes Smith claims
to have had two rolls of money when
he retired, the confederate currency and
good money.

College avenue and Rondo street and be-
tween University avenue and Front

returned by the city engineer to include
figures for the paving Of the nineteen

but In the estimates sent to the board
yesterday this was not done. City Engf-
neer Claussen, in explanation, said the
figures showed what the property owners
would have to pay. and the cost to the
street railway company would be In adj
dition The board will request the engi-
neer to furnish figures showing the cost
to the street railway company as well
as the property owners.
The estimates Of the city engineer
when bids were opened by the board for
the paving of the entire street, from Col
lege avenue to Front street, with brick
last December was $4,000. The lowest bid
was that Of Fielding & Shepley, who offer
ed to do the work for $50. 400, with an ad-
ditional $26,S0O for the part of the street
occupied by the street railway company.
