Canada and Australia are showing
themselves to be very Independent, for
colonies. Both have declined point
eddy TO contribute anything to the
support of the British navy, notwith-
standing that navy is for their de-
Tense as well as that of the mother
country. The colonies. however, are
in a position to save themselves the
expense of naval appropriations and
they are taking advantage of it. Aus
tralia, by the way, gives Great Britain
no preference in trade, though Canada
gives a small tariff concession. Some
of the English newspapers are begin
ming to ask if such colonies are of a.
great deal of benefit to the country,
since they receive much and give lit
tie. We may shortly be asking our
selves the same question with respect
to Porto Rico and the Philippines.

A good Presbyterian" from Pitts
burg, of the name of Wills, who has
been appointed to a position in the
Navy Department, may be shut out
from his office and the enjoyment of
the emoluments and perquisites thereof
because he objects to taking the oath
that is administered to all federal off,
GERS. The oath requires that the Off
cial shall support the constitution of
the United States. Mr.. Wills says he
has conscientious scruples against
subscribing to any such oath, because
the constitution contains no mention
of the name of God. Nevertheless
there are a great many good Presby-
terians-as good as Mr.. Wills-wno
have gladly, eagerly, subscribed to the
same oath. -

DRANK CARB0LIC, ACID
Sad Ending of Miss Reichel at Her
Home Last Evening.
She Became Low Spirited and Found
Relief in Death.
Was Handsome Girl and Favorite of
OF a Large Circle.
The Grief Stricken Parents Have the
Sympathy of All.

From Saturdays Daily.
Miss Vincy Reichel, aged twenty-five
years, % daughter of Frank Reichel, one
of the engineers at the pumping station,
and residing at 500 North Sixth street,
committed suicide yesterday afternoon
shortly after three o'clock, but her dead
body was not discovered until nearly
seven o'clock last evening. The young
lady ended her life by drinking a quanti-
ty of carbolic acid For some weeks past
Miss Reichel had not been feeling well,
and was low spirited. Her condition was
noticeable as prior to that time she had
always been a jolly girl, full of fun and
the life of any company of young folks
she might have been with. Yesterday
morning Miss Reichel did not eat any
breakfast and at the noon hour she stat
ed that she was not feeling well and did
not care for any dinner. She went to
her room where she remained for time
later the young lady expressed a desire
for some brandy. Her younger brother
Eli procured small quantity of the
liquor, and taking this she again went
to her room. This was at about three
o'clock and it was the last time she was
seen alive.
The girls, dead BODY was discovered at
about Gas o'clock by her brother, Sam
uel Reichel, who called at his sisters
room to ask her if she was going to eat
supper He was shocked to find her dead.
He did not make any alarm for fear that
his mother Nigh be overcome by the
dreadful news of her daughters death.
He stepped into has own room for a
moment and while there Mrs Reichel
went to Miss Viney's apartment and
found her daughter lying on the bed, her
hands clasped across her breast. The
body was cold, the girl having been dead
for several hours. An empty cup on the
table was the mute witness of the deed.
Beneath plate lying on the table was
a slip of paper which bore the name
"Wincy" in one corner and penned be-
meath were the following lines:
''My Lord, my love-,
have laid my life at Thy feet;;
Take Thy will thereof,
For what shall please Thee is sweet"
Miss Reichel was, handsome young
lady and was well liked by all hen young
friends. Her sad and untimely death has
not only caused her parents and brothers
much sorrow, but sincere regrets are ex1
pressed among her many friends and ac-
quaintances. Her. life had been pure
one and her character was spotless. Her
home was a happy one.
It is said that Miss Reichel was dis
appointed in love
1t is understood that short time since
Miss Reichel informed several of her
girl friends that she wanted to die and
be with a brother. who had passed away.

WILL LOOK over ROUTE
Capitalists investigate Possibilities
of North and South Road.
Proposed Line From Mankato to Du-
luth Via St. Cloud.
Rich and Productive Country Not In
vaded by the Iron Horse.
Gentlemen Look Over Mankat0: Say
they Like the Town.
From, Saturdays Daily

With a view to investigating the pay
ing possibilities of north and south
railroad from Mankato to Duluth via
ST. Cloud a number Of eastern capital
lists, started out from this city today
for the purpose looking over the proposed
route. The party was made up of Viii
liam S. Lambert, Reading, Pa; Col. j. f.
Small, Lewiston, Me-; Thomas X. Dalzell,
Reading; John r. Bucks, Wernersville,
Pa. C. H. Mackenzie of Gaylord is in
charge of the delegation. These gentle
men came to Mankato last night and
were met,at the Saulpaughby NJ G. Will
ard, chairman of the board of trade COM
mittee on transportation and railroads;
B. G. Taylor secretary of the board and
others who are interested in the con-
struction of such a railroad. The situa-
ton was discussed from every stand
point. 1t was, brought to the attention
of the visitors that there is a crying need
of CROSSINGS in this part of the state.
Take a map of this state and 1T viii be
seen' there. is a. square block of territory
with st. Cloud Granite Falls, Mankat to
and Minneapolis as, corner stakes that
hasn't az cross road! This square is more
than seventy five miles in diapraetef, and
is the. richest. most productive in the
CD 10 Re aa,I &c MI
only by three lines of railway of which
two parallel one another in a northwest
erly direction, and another goes due west
through the southern half of this square
One other line; the Hutchinson branch
of the Great Northern penetrates this
square to, its, oente1 and stops there, 60
ing. also due west in its course This
territory of nearly six Thousand square
miles is, very meagerly supplied with
railroad, facilities Another important
point was brought out The grade of the
proposed route is very light, and this
insures, the building of the road at "a
much less, cost than were the country
obstuurted by many hills.
Tt is expected that the party will res
bunn to Mankato next week. Here they
will be joined by David H. Beecher of
Grand Forks, president of the Minnesota
Central Railway company; George Il
VAN Reed of Reading, vice president and
H. b. Cady of Minneapolis, secretary.
At this meeting something tangibsa is
quite likely to develop.
During the forenoon the eastern gentle
men were driven about town by MIR.
Willard. They expressed themselves as
being well pleased with the appearance of
this city.

SOME LIVELY RACING.

From Saturdays Daily.

Those who are interested in horse
racing, certainly had their cup of happi-
ness filled to the brim yesterday after
noon, while those who stayed away miss
ed great treat. 1t seems very strange
that with all the effort the Driving club
puts forth to furnish good, clean sports
man-like races absolutely free of charge
that their work is so little appreciated.
Yesterday afternoon the club furnish
ed races that would have been credit
to the state fair, or in fact any race

No Fees Paid.

! l wish to call your attention to the
vast amount of litigation instituted in
the municipal court for which absolutely
no fees are paid to the city. Some 259
cases on the civil docket show no fees
paid A number of these were begun
and dropped, but substantial number
litigated. A fair estimate at an average
of 60 cents per case would show loss
to the city in the matter of $3.50. 1t
would seen reasonable that a small de-
posit should be required to secure costs
in all cases instituted and in this way
save the loss to the city.
Dangerous Practice.
| found the correct amount of cash on
hand in the treasurer's office. Every
thing in this office seems to be conducted
in a careful and conscientious manner,
and with one exception the interests of
the city guarded. The exception referred
to is the practice of paying out money on
the recorders orders without invariably
requiring the endorsement of the payee
A large proportion of these orders. bear
no endorsement, nothing appearing there
/, on to show to whom the city money had
been paid. This is dangerous prac-
tice and should be discontinued The
lack of such endorsements rob these or
ders of the nature of voucher, without
such endorsements there being no way
to trace payments. 1t has been the prac-
tice of the treasurer to return paid or
ders to the recorder. This is not in ac-
cordance with wour charter, which di-
!, reefs the treasurer to keep and file them.
A list of twenty-eight items is SUBJ
mitted where payments were made that
do not appear on the councils minutes.
These occur from Oct. 1899, to JAM, 1908,
and range in amount from 25 cents to
$5S0.2l. In six of these items different
amounts were allowed by the council, but
the Others were not allowed at all.
