FORTUNE FOR HELLO GIRL
WILL OF CAPITALIST GEORGE
wELToN CREATES SENSATION
AT FARGO
MISS NELLIE cAss Is HEIREss
Worked for Northwestern Telephone
Exchange in st. Paul and Then
Moved to FargO-ReIa-
tiVes Cut Off.

The good people of Fargo N. D., have
been treated to a genuine sensation and
the most-talked-of person in that town
is Miss Nellie Cass, at one time an opera
tor in the Northwestern Telephone COM
pany, in this city.
Last week George Welton, the richest
citizen in Fargo, expired suddenly, apo
plexy being the cause. Before he had
been buried almost, Miss Cass, through
her attorneys, filed petition for the
probating of a document which purport-
&c to be the last will and testament of
the deceased capitalist. The young
woman is named as the sole legatee, and
she thus becomes heiress to an estate
which. 1t is generally believed, will
amount to nearly a million dollars.
The widow of the stricken man was
III Florida for her health at the tfmc
of her husbands death, and she. with
two married daughters, and a son. VINO
lives near Fargo. are the sole surviving
relatives. They were all under the i'm
preston that Mr.. Welton died intestate,
and were preparing to have the estate
administered in the usual way. When
Miss Cass' will was produced aaprofound
sensation was naturally the result, espe-
clally as no one seems to know just what
were the relations between the deceased
and the claimant.
Miss Cass worked in the st. Paul Tele-
phone exchange for considerable time,
and. about two years ago, was dis
charged for what reason local officials
do not care to state. She shortly after
ward applied for vacancy in the staff
of operators of the same company at
Milwaukee Her application was referred
to the St Paul Office, and. after receiving
q report from here she was informed
that there was no opening for her at
the beer city. Not long after this, how
ever, the company appointed her to q
place in the office at Fargo, and she has
been there for about eighteen months.
BEFORE coming to this city she claimed
to have been employed in the Milwaukee
and Chicago exchanges.
In the meantime she is continuing to
fill her place in the Fargo office, not be-
ing inclined, it would seem, to count
her chickens before they are Matched.
Her attorneys claim that the will giving
her the property is a valid document and
that it will hold water, despite the lact
that neither the widow nor the daugh-
tiers are mentioned in it.
The late George Welton was secretary
of the Fosston Wind Stacker company at
the time of his death and possessed large
interests in various Eastern enterprises.

MEET HERE NEXT YEAR
NATIONAL CONVENTION OF MUTUAL.
INSURANCE COMPANIES.

Gov. Van SAINT yesterday received a
telegram from Columbus which means
considerable to ST. Paul. 1t reads:
Your kind invitation is accepted, and
the national meeting of the mutual in
surance companies will be hGi1 In st.
Paul in 1902.
w d. Forbes, President"
wv. B. Linch Secretary"
This telegram, as appears on it's face.
was sent to the governor as the result
CT an urgent invitation on his part. This
years convention has just been held
at Columbus. The governor was aware
of the fact that Topeka, Kan, which
town seemed to be working the hardest
to secure the next convention, was
slightly in disfavor, possibly because of
the antics of Mrs. Nation, and, for that
reason sent his invitation. 1t came
Just at the opportune moment
When the question of selecting city
for the convention, arose one Mr.. Scott,
speaking for Topeka, said:
Topeka, of all cities in the country,
IS the place for this association to meet.
Carrie Nation has been through Nebras-
ka and is only half done with her smash
ing, and we can follow in her wake and
" rite policies for every farmer in the
state.'
A St. Paulite replied that she would
drive every company in the state to the
wall and that she was worse than any
cyclone.
In view Of the fact that there are thou
sands of mutual insurance companies in
the country the convention is bound to
be a large one. but the Sanity City now
has a reputation for handling conven-
tions and there will be no trouble In
finding accommodations for all the in
surance men who come.

DR.. WHARTEN IS FIRM.
HE WILL NOT SUBMIT TO RE-As-
sEsSMENT OF HIS PROPERTY.

Judge J. w. Willis, attorney for DR.
Wharton, will file objections to the re-
assessment by the board of public works
for the paving Of Eagle street. from
Seven Corners to Franklin street The
board will give hearing on the confirma-
ton Of the re-assessnent at it's meeting
March 81.
= When the former assessment was made
the property owned by DR.. Wharton was
assessed at 1915. Objections were filed
and tho matter was finally taken into
the courts There were four, Or fivelother
DIRECTORS to the assessment, but Dr.
Wharton's were the only objections sus-
tanned by the court ard the assessment
was set aside. Judge Willis appeared for
Dr. Wharton when the case was tried
before Judge Otis in the district court,
and contended that the property in ques-
ton should only have been assessed at
about $500, as the proposed improvement
would not berefit it much.
The re-assessment of the property is 500,
ard in case the board of public works
fails to heed the objections, Judge Willis
will carry the matter to the supreme
court If necessary.
The property represented by Judge
Willis has frontage CT 1877 feet on Eagle
street, is 81 feet wide at it's widest point,
and runs to a point at Seven Corners.
There is a three-story building on it,
which was built in 1856 and is an old
landmark

WAGENER'S CLAIM CUT.
WORKS COMMISSIONERS REACH
AGREEMENT AFTER LIVELY TILT.

The meeting of the board of public
works yesterday afternoon resulted in
q little tilt between President Ames, OF
the board, and Commissioner Mabon. It
all came about when the board was con-
sidering the claim Of John WAGNER
against the city for $10,750 for the prop
erty taken for slopes and piers for the
W abasha street bridge at it's west end.
Commissioners Mabon and Pottgieser
thought that IS, 600 would not be too much
to allow for the property, but President
Ames and Commissioner Hammer were
of the opinion that $1,000 was all the
property was worth. After indu1ging in
q few remarks Commissioner Hammer
made a motion to allow Mr. Wagner
$1,000 Commissioner Pottgieser amend
ed it to be $7,7S7, and Commissioner Ma
bon made an amendment to the amend
ment to make it $1,000. The vote stood
two to two and for the next few minutes
the board INDUCED in a little "horse
play" by killing both amendments and
also the motion, one at a time. After
the meeting had adjourned, however, the
compromise was effected whereby the
board, at another meeting to be held
later in the afternoon, will vote to allow
$780,
Bids were opened for boulevarding,
curbing and improving Laurel avenue,
from Victoria to Chatsworth streets. The
bids were taken under consideration and
We're as follows: John Thornton, $2,275;
Chris Johnson, $2,1S9.6s; Fielding & Shep-
ley, $2,110.

RECEIPTS 70 Be SMALLER
DISCUSSES EFFECT OF NEW
WAR REVENUE LAW
DECREASE NEARLY A MILLION
When Act Comes Into Force in July,
Unused Stamps Must Be Re-
deemed by Uncle
Sam.

With the 1st of July the new war rev.
enue law modifying many of the provis-
ions OF the stamp and revenue act, and
in some instances abrogating entire sec
lions of the measure, will bring about a
marked reduction In the receipts at the
local revenue collectors office.
At the st. Paul office alone Collector
Baumbach estimates that annual reduc-
ton because of the change Will reach
$800,C This, is rough estimate, he
says, and does not include the depletion
that will come the first year because
of the redemption of unused stamps
BY the provisions of the new act Col
lector Baumbach will have to redeem
all unused adhesive stamps presented at
his office after July l. The amounts,
however, must not be less in value than
81 to receive consideration.
In respect to revenue accruing from
tobaccos and beer, in which there also
has been material reduction. the office
is in duty bound to return the difference
on unsold stamped goods when demand
ed. In this particular line only amounts
of $40 and over will be entitled to a re-
bate.
While the new measure will in time 90
away with special stamp clerks and other
clerical help whose services have been
required to attend to this particular de-
will see his office swamped with WORK
The redemption OF stamps and rebate on
dutiable goods reduced under the new
law will call for much work, as in aeon
instance considerable req tape must be
gone through before the requests for re-
bates will be considered. In the case OF
beer and tobacco the entire stock must
be examined and stamp payments verl-
fed.
The stamp act, as it applies to checks
and instruments of small value, has been
almost entirely removed, and z1ociks on
hand by the banks, insurance companies.
medicine companies and regular business
houses will all have to be redeemed by
the government. AS only amounts of 81
and over Will be entitled to the redemp-
ton proviso, it Is expected that the small
holders will get even by selling their
holdings to spectators. Many firms al
ways carry from SO cents to 81 Worth OF
stamps, and these will be taken care OF
by the spectators, who hope to realize
handsomely because Of the inability OF
the former to dispose OF small stocks
Since the war act has been in opera
ton, the receipts at the St. Paul office
have reached from Sl5O,OO0 to $2O0, 900
monthly. Arrangements are now being
made to take care of the IRISH that will
come when the new law goes into effect.
