FOUND BODY ON ICE.
Suspicion Of Murder In Death of
Wealthy Man at
Madison.

Madison. Wis, March 22.-[Special.1
The body of Henry Kalbheisch, a
wealthy ice dealer Of Dixon, H., who
has been visiting his father, George
Kalbfeisch. a farmer of the town Of
Blooming Grove, was found on the ice
on Lake Monona about 10 o'clock this
morning. His body was frozen in the
ice and had apparently lain there all
night. An ugly cash in the back Of the
head and another over the right eye
showed the cause of death, but how
these cuts were inflicted is matter
which the coroner's jury will endeavor to
solve. Foul play was suspected, but
the fact that the dead mans money
and gold watch were in his pockets
when found, leads to controvert this the
DRY. The body lay near a crack in the
ice, about two feet wide, across which
Kalbfeisch had apparently jumped and
fallen with sufficient force to inflict the
fatal cut. Kalbfeisch, who was about
30 years old, spent most of yesterday in
the city, and had visited several places
He was last seen at saloon opposite
where the body was found, about 6
o'clock last evening. 1t is thought he
started across the ice when he met with
the fatal accident. Kalbfeisch's wife is
here. They had planned to return home
tomorrow The family worried all night
over his absence and his father and broth
er came to town to look for him this
morning, arriving just as the body was
found.

PRESIDENT HAS PRIVATE FUND
The Public Never Knows How it is
Expeuded-Used in Emergencies.


What is called the Presidents private
fund, known in law as the emergency
fund, stands nominally to the credit of
the secretary of state. But Mr.. McKin-
ley is really the secretary of state and
he draws ON this appropriation just when
and how he pleases. The manner of its
expenditure is always secret, and nobody
knows what is done with the money.
Even Congress has no right to inquire,
and has never done so, the idea beng
that there are certain matters, especially
such as relate to diplomatic negotiations,
which may not properly be placed before
the public-that is to say without injury
to the public wear. This fund varies in
amount, but Of late years it has been be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 per annum.
The memoranda relating to the eXpen-
diture Of the private fund are kept In a
safe at the department OF state Nobody,
save a few privileged officials, have ever
seen them, but if they could be pub
lished they would throw a picturesque
light upon the inside workings of the
government, particularly in regard to it's
relations with foreign powers. If any
thing turns up which makes it eXpedient
to obtain certain information abroad in
quiet way a draft is made upon the
fund by voucher which the President
himself signs and sends over to the secre-
tary of state, this voucher being equiva-
lent to a check on the treasury. The
negotiations of the preliminaries Of a
treaty, such as that for the purchase Of
the Danish possessions in the West In
dies, may make another call upon this
personal credit of the executive, which
is likewise drawn upon to pay for enter
tainment when royal or official visitor
from foreign parts comes to Washington.

CAFES INTO PISTOL.
Green Bay Officer Nearly Loses
His Life While Doing His
DUTY.

Green Bay, Wis, March 23.-[Spe-
cial. l-Undersherif w. A. Gauerke took
principal part early last evening in a
thrilling drama in real life that he has
no desire to play again. For several
moments he gazed into the barrel of a
revolver held within a few inches Of his
head by frenZied man, and it is prob
able that to his ready wit and nerve he
owes his life The trouble came about
through an attempt to make levy on
goods owned by west side saloonkecper
named Siegmund, on which the latter had
executed a chattel mortgage. It appears
Siegmund had the goods moved from the
saloon and secreted at his home. When
the undersherif explained that he had
come to make an attachment Siegmund,
according to the story told by the officer,
er and exclaimed in the most dramatic
manner: "You can take that stuff only
over my dead body" He then ordered
the officer, at the point of the gun, to
leave the premises. Through a ruse the
undersheriff managed to divert Sieg-
mund's attention for second. In that
brief interval the officer drew his own
revolver, and pressing the muzzle against
the belligerent saloonkeeper's head, COM
PEELED the latter to drop his weapon.
That was the first climax. When the
officer attempted to put on pair of
handouts Siegmund grappled with him
and the two men rolled from the doorway
Of the house out into the yard in des-
perate struggle for supremacy. Then,
Undersheriff Gauerke relates, Siegmund's
wife and daughter came to the saloon
keepers assistance The officer says the
women wrenched his gun and handouts
from him while he was struggling with
Siegmund and then turned in to punch
and kick him. The grand finale came
when two men passing by the house saw
the uneven encounter and came to the
undersheriff's succor. Warrants were
issued shortly after for the arrest Of
