HARDSHIP TO MANY

with These Cut Out Many Work

Scraping to Get
Along.

From August to "most any old time,
is rather an indefinite period in which to
realize on labor given and keep the wolf
from the door, but this is what the sixty
OF more street sweepers employed by the
city are doing.
isn't there some way in which 1 could
get $40?" modestly drawled white-coat-

near City Engineer Ciaussen's desk in
the engineering department. I've got
to move, and need the money"
Sorry, my man, but [ can't do any
proved, answered Mr.. Claussen. you'll
have to try someone else"
This is only one of the many plaintfve
pleas heard since the rule abolishing
time checks went into effect. Three
months without a pay day is long time,
and the men, as result, are feeling its
effects. Under the old rule little
money could be realized occasionally,
even if stiff rate of interest was ex-
acted. Grocerymen and meat stores,
however, are doing something towards re-
lieving the situation by trusting the men
and taking assignments of time as pay.
There is some risk, but, as a rule, the
men are honest, and will turn their war
rants over when they are issued.
While the engineering department led
in the issuance of time checks, the crs-
tom was by no means confined to it.
Health employees also realized by this
method, bur they are no longer given out
Short-time employees now have to wait
until the pay rolls are regularly approved

BILL is PILINC UP
CITY AND COUNTY MUST PAY FOR
DISEASES CATTLE sLAUGH-
TERED
PRESENT t Law Is DEFECTIVE
Owners of Condemned Cattle Con-
trivea,tO Secure Appraisement
Wthichls Amply Protects
Them From Losses.

Under ysfn ACT, passed by the last legis-
latufe da1rymen are entitled to compen-
satlon, when any of their stock is con-
fiscated, dbeeaqse of tuberculosis or other
contagious disease, the city. and county
paying tWo-thipds of the loss and the
owners of the cattle suffering the re-
mainder. So far st. Paul has paid moth
ing for the cattle slaughtered since the
act became a law, but the bill is piling UP
and will amount to a handsome sum
when fund for its PAYMENTS provided.
According to the local dairy inspectors,
the law IN its present shape is a farce,
as 1t enables designing dairymen to Sc
cure FANCY prices for scrub cattle at pub
Tic expense. When cow is killed by
order of the health department, apprais-
ers are appointed to determine it's value,
and so far, according TO the inspectors,
the owners have managed to come out on
the right side of the ledger. The average
appraiser knows that the city or county
has to pay the bill and places a. value
that never could have been obtained
while the animal was alive and healthy
The herds suffering from contagious dis
eases are, as rule, of the scrub va
riety and only worth their price as beef
On. three head of cattle appraised last
week valuation of $1G6 was placed, when
according to their weight not over SIS
could have been obtained in the open
market. From this, of course, was
stricken the owners one-third, but he
did not lose anything; in fact, he was
ahead.
Oddly enough the law only provides re-
endorsement for those engaged in dairy
ing. Householders sustaining the loss of
family cow are not included.

FRAUD is DETECTED
PLOT TO ROB POsTOFFICEs Is
NIPPED AT RED
WING
CLEVER SCHEME IS FOOLED
University Student, Acting as Agent
for Robbers of Oxford Office,
Caught Trying to Cash
Forged Money Orders.

The arrest at Red Wing, Tuesday even
ing, of a. man giving the name of E. S.
Gardiner but whose right name is
Dwight j. Carpenter, of Minneapolis. ac-
eordlng to the local postofice inspector.
was the means of -unearthing plot to
use stolen money orders to defraud the
government of several hundred dollars
Tne man presented himself at the money
order window of the Red Wing postoffice
tuesday morning with two money orders
each for $500, dated at Oxford, Wis. Oct
q Postmaster Rasmussen had received
advice of one order, and asked CO rdiner
to Identify himself. This seemed to
bother him somewhat, and Mr.. Rasmus-
sen became suspicious. He asked Gardi-
ner to remain until evening, as the other
advice would probably be IN by that time.
Gardiner agreed to the proposal, and Ras-
mussen sent a telegram to Oxford WIS.,
asking about the money orders. He re-
ceived a prompt reply, saying that the
orders had been stolen, and that the man
should be arrested. Gardiner was placed
Under arrest and brought to st. Paul last
evening. He will be given hearing be-
fore Commissioner Spencer today.
Papers and documents found in Gardi-
ber's possession revealed deep-laid plot
to use the stolen money orders, and
enoughGwas learned to implicate at least
some time ago the postoffice at Oxford,
Wis. was broken into. and fourteen
money orders stolen. The thieves even
went to the trouble to stamp the order
and advices with the regular Office stamp,
so that they were able to fill them out in
such a way as to battle detection. The
plan then was to make the orders out for
500 each and send two to each place that
was selected. The thieves, or those who
planned the manner of using the orders,
then secured the services of a confed-.
crate, who was to visit the cities where
the orders were sent and collect them.
For this work they secured Dwight j.
Carpenter, a student at the University,
and the son of respectable parents living
in Minneapolis. He was provided with
letters and all means of Identification I'M
der the name he was to assume in the
various cities, and with these he started
forth
Two of the orders were sent to him at
La Crosse, and, under an assumed name,
he called and secured the money. This
was on Oct 10. The next two were sent
to Red Wing, and he called there, and
his scheme was foiled. Two orders were
sent to Winona, two to Mortified, two to
Eau Claire and two to Chippewa Falls.
The officials have not yet been able to
locate the other two orders.
1t is said that Carpenter made
straightforward confession of hts part in
the affair, and, in telling the story, I'm
plicated others who will be placed under
arrest Immediately. 1t is understood that
man. in Oxford, Wis, is connected with
the affair, and Inspector Kimball has
asked for his arrest Other arrests will
be made

FALLING OFF
DECREASE IN SALE OF DocUMEN-
TARY STAMPS
st. Paul Office VIII Probably Re-
ccive Half Million Dol
lars Less Than Last
Yegr,

The law which went into effect July H.
removing the revenue stamps from va
rious documents, is exercising marked
effect on the receipts of the internal rev.
enue office. 1t cuts down the sale of doc
umentary stamps great deal, ana, of
course, will make the receipts of the of
flee much smaller than last year. The
receipts for the last fiscal year at the
St Paul office were over $2.66S,G00, while
the officials estimate that for this year
they will be but slightly in excess of
81, 0t0. The decrease will be accounted
for wholly by the smaller sales of docu-
mentary stamps.
While the receipts of the revenue office
nave been smaller this year than for last
year. yet the business of the Office in all
deparements, except that in documentary
stamps. has increased. There are In the
state 400 more retail liquor dealers than
there were last year. There are more
cigar factories in the state and the out
put of all factories is larger than last
year. The sale of the cigar and beer
stamps helps to offset the decrease in the
rGmber of documentary stamps sold.
