"Lincoln's work is done; but, with

that Abraham Lincoln towers above all
men living or dead. Measured by the
nature and magnitude of his deeds he

During the course of his speech at
the German American Veterans asso-

day last night Gov. Van SAINT gave ut
terance to the above words
Fully 1000 people gathered to hear
the excellent free programme given
by local talent in the hall of the house
of representatives.
The opening prayer was offered by
Chaplain Caldwell, of Garfield Post,

had paid $28 in counterfeit money for
a COW which he had purchased from
a neighbor. West. declared he had been
given the money by his brother-in
law, Cyrus E. Foreman, and claimed
to be innocent of any wrong intent.
His story carried some weight, and
on account of his advanced age, he
was released, and an indictment re-
turned against Foreman.
Capt. Lawrence was never fully sat-
isf1ed of the truth of the story told
by West, and has been watching him
ever since. Recently he succeeded in
securing confessions from two OF
Vests sons, to the effect that they had
seen their father make the money, and
that the molds had been buried on the
farm owned by Foreman.
When West learned of the confessions
made by his sons, he is said to have
forced them to write to Capt. Law
renee, stating that they had given
fraudulent evidence, but the story
didn't go with Capt. Lawrence. and he
yesterday caused the arrest of West.
Foreman was never convicted of the
charges against him.

EPIDEMIC OF GRIP
DUE TO WEATHER
Conditions Are Hard on the Aged, SAYS
Ohaqe.

Colds and mild form of the grip are
epidemic in st. Paul just now, but not
to any serious extent. The disease at
lacks the head, and requires frequent ap-
pIlcatlons of whisky and quinine to re-
lieve.
Health Commissioner Ohage saws the
epidemic has not figured to any extent
in the death returns that have been filed
In his office of late, but 1t is undoubtedly
hard On the aged. The old expression.
superinduced by the grip he says, has
become stereotvned in the returns filed

DR.. Ohage attributes the prevalence of
colds and grip in a light form to the
extremes in weather and the rapid chang
es. Ore day of warmth and the next

ton, he says.

The anniversary of Lincolns birth
day was celebrated by the Lincoln Re

for speechmaking by repeating one of
Iincoln's early efforts.
The principal address of the evening
was made by the Rev. Robert Forbes,
of Duluth, who told of the life of Lin
coin.
Abraham Lincoln" said the speaker,
twas one of the greatest men of the
nation. Reared in Obscurity, his boy
hood spent in splitting rails, he be-
came one of the greatest men of the
nation.
1.-The freeing of the negro was but an
incident in his life" said Mr.. Forbes.
IF it had been for the benefit of the
government to have kept the negro in
bond, Abraham Lincoln would have
done so. He stood for the government
above all else"
Oar f. Reese gave a short address
on 'The Ideal Politician" which was
listened to with much interest and
accorded a hearty applause. Other
speakers of the evening were Oscar

JANUARY HAD MANY
ALARMS, SMALL LOSS
Fires to the Number of 103 Only
Caused $4,000 Damage.

In order to permit the early payment
OF number of bills, a brief meeting
of the board of fire commissioners was
held last evening. The claims amount
ed to $1,S56.53, and were all allowed.
In the list of fire alarm numbers, it
was decided to change those bearing
the hgues 100 to 300. 1t was found
that where the figure 1 was sounded on
the gong the interval between the next
number was so short that confusion
often resulted.
Chief Jackson reported 1913 alarms
Tor January, an unusual number when
1T is considered that the average is
about sixty. Despite this large num-
per, however, the loss only amounted
to little over $4,000 The majority
of the alarms were due to chimney
fires.
