I. STEAM A SAD DOG
Why He Has Resigned From the
Joshers' Club.
PRETENDED TO STEAL A BIKE
"Twas His Own, but He Had to
Prove 1T to the
Police.

Theodore Steam, who has reputation
as a practical joker, was his own embar-
raised victim yesterday and three
boys under fifteen were the ones who "got
it back" at him. Steam placed his wheel
at the side Of the Minneapolis Dry Goods
store, at Fifth street and Nicollet, and
went inside to make a purchase. Re-
turning with a package he turned to
Tracy Wales, a small boy employed about
the store, and remarked that he guessed
he would take this wheel" singing out
his own.
Where are you going to take it?'
asked the lad.
ooh, I guess Til take it down to the
city hail. replied Steam.
Master Tracy became suspicious and
with Gustave Olson and Johnnie Winkler
ran to police headquarters and told Desk
Sergeant Schutta about the incident and
gave a descript ion Of the supposed bike
thief and of the wheel he had ridden off
on. Detectives Hicks and Mealy were
instructed to watch for him and half an
hour later they met the Wheelman on
Central avenue. They marched him back
to police headquarters where his Inability
to give either the name or the number OF
the wheel strengthened the suspicion OF
the officers. Steam was kept in Gust ody
some time until it was found that the
young man had purchased the wheel only
last night, and that his title was clear.
He was then dismissed, after he confessed
to the officers that his little joke had
fallen pretty fiat. r.z.. H. =.

Claim Good. b
Shecial to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
/ Madison, Wis, March 12.-The supreme
court to-day gave the estate Of Laura
Armitage, deceased, which had escheated
to the state, to Erik Sandberg, pa
ternal uncle discovered in Sweden. The
court reversed the decision of the lower
court as to taxation of costs amounting to
about $3.50, and established the principle
that costs in civil action cannot be taxed
against the estate.
Laura Armitage died at Fort Atkinson
in 1897, leaving an estate of about 5000
No heirs were found, and in January, 1890
the property was escheated to the state
Afterward Erik Sandberg appeared from
Sweden and filed petition to have the
estate assigned to him as next of kin.
The state, through the attorney gen
eral, contested the case, but Sandberg
wins out and gets the estate.

in Milwaukee of practicing medicine with

From The Journal Bureau, Room IS, Post
building, Warrington
Washington, March 12.-The South Da-
kota delegation got together this after
noon and recommended Harvey J. Rice for
receiver Of the land Office at Huron, Vice
Westdahl resigned.
Representative Burke announced, on
behalf of the entire delegation, that the
stories circulated here and in South Da-
kota of rupture between him and other
members of the delegation are untrue.
Perfect harmony prevails among them and
no selections for offices in state will be
made without an agreement of senators
and representatives.
The stories referred to said the two
senators and Representative Martin were
favoring the reappointment of Register
Blake, while Mr.. Burke wants A. M. Will
marth named for the office 1t was stated
that Blake will not be reappointed and
that no appointment OF register will be
made until all can unite in an indorse-
ment.
Independently Of the statement on be-
half of the delegation, Representative
Burke denies that he promised Wilmarth
his support because of the latter's atti-
tude in the capitol-removal fight last
winter.

MEETS HIS STAFF
New Sheriff Makes Acquaintance Of
His Deputies
AS CHOSEN BY OTHERS FOR HIM
Interesting and Novel Function Fol-
lowing the Election of =. w.
Dreger.

Not the least important feature of the
appointment of Sheriff ]. w. Dreger yes
terday was the opportunity 1t gave him to
meet his deputies. While the identity Of
the men to serve under him was not al
together unknown to the sheriff before
his induction into office he did not have
speaking acquaintance with any OF
them.
For the general good of the office and
in the belief that the staff would get down
to q working basis sooner than II the as
sistants were forced to scrape an ac-
quaintance with their chief, b. P. Sweet,
chairman Of the county commissioners,
arranged to give. each OF the subordinates
a "knock-doWn" to the sheriff.
Immediately after the appointment Com
missioner Sweet wrote out the names OF
the new deputies and then informed
Sheriff Dreger, who was busy circulating
a box OF perfectos that the interested
parties were DESTROYS of giving him the
glad hand and entering upon their new
duties.
'WOuId BE Delighted"
The sheriff replied that he would ba
delighted,'' and following in the wake OF
Commissioner Sweet, he went down to the
sheriff's Office. AS he entered he found
group of happies lined for inspection.
In an instant every hat was dotted, while
Commissioner Sweet, with beaming face,
remarked:
"These are your new deputies"
The sheriff was confronted with line
of outstretched hands, and as he heartily
gripped each, Commissioner Sweet gave
him a formal introduction.
ALLOW me to introduce you to the new
sheriff." said Mr.. Sweet, and in response
to deputy's greeting the sheriff would
reply:
I'm glad to know YOU
, Judge Pond Insists.
Judge Pond insists on being allowed te
name his own deputy, as in days gone
by, in spite OF the law, or do without one
The judge informed Sheriff Dreger this
morning that unless he was allowed tc
retain Deputy Pratt as his attendant, he
would be his own deputy and dispense
with the services of court officer al
together.
The sheriff, it is said, replied that he
was sorry, but it was not in his power
to grant the request.

BIGGEST GRAFT GOING
TEMPLEToN SAID HE HAD 1T
ing Counterfeits and Con-
federate Money.

Special to The Journal.
DeadWood, S. d., March 12.-Sheriff
William Moses of Butte county and Police
Officer Donovan Of Deadwood have ar
rested man giving the name of e. A..
Tennpleton on the charge Of circulating
counterfeit coin and currency When ar
rested he had large amount Of confed-
crate bills, and 1t is known he had passed
confederate money on Chinaman and
others about DeadWood, although there is
no proof he had passed counterfeit money.
There has been counterfeit money
passed in Belle Fource and other towns in
the hills during the last few months, and
the officers are endeayoring to connect
Templeton with It, Several counterfeit
silver dollars have turned up at Belle
Fourche lately. They are SO poorly exc

cept by some ignorant person or. during
a rush of business.
The officers did clever bit of detective
work with Templeton They engaged a
man to gain his confidence, and to him
Templeton said he had the biggest graft
going in confederate money, and that
his scheme was to dress as a hobo, there,
by being less liable of detection.

CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT
Said to Have Been Violated in Flee
ton Of Dreger.


Have the county commissioners or
elect J.. w. sDreger laid themselves
open to prosecution under the corrupt
practices act, by reason of the latter's
appointment?
This question was asked at the court
house by more than one person who had
closely watched the proceedings which
eliminated In the appointment OF Mr..
Dreger. 81 The common supposition that
he was agreed upon by the commissioners
after he had promised to allow them to
dictate the appointment of his thirteen
deputies, gave rise to the suspicion that
Dreger's appointment had not been alto
gether regular"
1t has been known for weeks. months,
even, that Dreger was to succeed Me-
garden. He was discovered by Chairman
e.. P. Sweet, who may be said to be d.
rectly responsible for his appointment by
persuading the other commissioners ia
stand .solidly by him.
So sure was Mr.. -Dreger of being ap-
pointed that he made preliminary ar
rangements for his bond two weeks ago.
1t is matter Of common knowledge
that the list OF deputies announced yes
terday afternoon was cut and dried af-
fair. For a week there was no doubt
but that Arthur Jones would be the head
deputy, 1t may be stated as a well sub
olah tldtSu IdCI IudL MI. Df0Sor mao aU-
solutely nothing to say about the ap-
pointments, and it is fair conclusion
that he was willing to be self-sacriicine
In order to secure the appointment
Section l of the corrupt practices ac
describes one who corruptly procures the
vote or election of another thus:
Every person who shall, upon or in conse
quence Of any gift. loan, offer promise o
any place or employment, public or private
procurement or agreement, procure or en-
gage, promise or endeavor to procure, thu
election Of any person to a public Office O.
the vote of any voter at any election.
There may be some doubt as to whether
this law applies to an appointive office
Legal opinion consulted isN that in thu
eyes of the law Dreger has been s.elected'
as we'll as appointed.
| Two Judges of the district court de-
clared that the commissioners had clearl,
violated the law if they had dictated thu
! appointment of deputies. 8

PLANE IS TOO LOW
That, and Not Living Too Fast, the
Trouble With Us.
SAYS REV. DIR. HENRY VAN DYKE
The Sabbath, He Says, Needs to BE
Guarded, but He Thinks 1t
Is Safe.

DR.. Henry Van Dyke, who lectured at
Plymouth church last evening on Litter
allure and Life is not one of those pessi
mists who believe the worlds going to
the boW-WoWs. In commenting upon the
recent declaration of Rev. G. c. Lorimer
fast and that another fifty years would
see the end Of the Christian Sabbath, Dr.
Van Dyke said:
l do not think we are living too fast. I
rather think we living too slow 1t is
rot The rapidity of mans life, not the vigor
or intensity with which he expends his forces,
which tends to success or failure, so much
as the plane or level upon which he lives.
The danger lies in the tendency Of the masses
to live upon a low rather than high plane.
Yet there are great forces at work to counter
act all this. There is multitude Of people
whose desires and ambitions are set toward
the things that are best. AS proof of this,
reflect on the vast number Of young people
in the middle west who are making sacrifices
to obtain an education, knowledge of things
as they really are. Nothing is more amazing
to me here in the west than the tremendous
growth Of it's universities and colleges
The Christian Sabbath.
1t does not seem to me likely that the Sab
bath is going to be destroyed in fifty years.
After having survived the trials of nineteen
centuries, it is difficult to believe that an in
stitution SO precioas to mankind and so vital
to all human interests, is to be blotted out
now. 1t is, nevertheless, true that the perils
which threaten our American Sabbath are
greater now than they we're fifty years ago,
and l think all should do their best to de-
fehd the day Of rest against the assaults OF
greed and self1shness.
I do not believe the state has any right to
attempt to force everybody to keep the Sab
bath in strictly religious. Christian fash
ion, but do believe this: 1t is the business
of the state to reserve a day of rest for the
people, and it is the business of the church to
! persuade all who will accept her teachings to
make the day of rest one Of joyful worship,
| Of charitable deeds and loving kindness to all
mankind.
| DR.. Van Dyke leaves tonight, after his
| lecture, for Elkhart, Ind.

SEVENTY new FLATS PATHS Are Cut up
Driversof Teams Use Cycle Paths as
| Roadways.
REPAIRS UNUSUALLY COSTLY
Police Seem wholly Indifferent to
Practice of Drivers In Co
ing Over Paths.

The repairing of cycle paths will be a
more extensive and costly operation this
spring than ever. The frost has come
out OF the ground so early and SO quickly
as to make the roads in some Of the out
lying sections almost impossible, and in
consequence drivers have quite generally
taken to the cycle paths The result can
easily be imagined. In some places pathsh
are cut up with ruts foot deep, while
the horses have gone down to their fet
locks and left great gaping holes. The
Lyndale avenue S path to the city limits,
| only completed last year, is said to be
almost ruined already, and the Lake
street path, between Lake street and the
river, is in as bad condition. From other
sections come fully as discouraging re-
ports OF damage to the pathsh by lawless
teamsters.
The police seemingly pay no attention
to the matter. and drivers make regular
roadways of the paths without protest
or hindrance.
| The new cycle path committee of the
| city council was named at recent meet
| ing, but it has made no effort yet to get
| together. City Engineer Sublette is out
| of the city inspecting pumps, and in the
absence of orders from the committee the
| engineers department can take no steps
| to begin the work of repairing.

missed in the police court this morning.
Funk barbered a Swede last week and col
lected $685.. The unsuspecting foreigner
was treated to all the processes known to

should not have approached the figure

not guilty of the offense charged and the
case dropped.
