SHERIFF GETS CASH
AND VAN IS EMPTY
ese SIR NJ h3n1Di III
All Called Upon Yesterday Set
tied Their Little Tax
DeIinquencies.

The residence district of the city was
yesterday invaded by the sheriff's tax
collecting van, a number of houses in
the vicinity of Rice street and Un1ver-
sity avenue being visited.
The van was in charge Of Deputy
Sheriff Mead, who was successful in
securing the cash at all of the places
visited. In addition to the amount of
the tax owing by the delinquents a
charge for the van is made. AS re-
suit of the crusade the sheriff's office
is being deIuged by delinquents who
desire to settle before the big van is
backed up at their homes. During the
past three days more money has been
collected on account of the delinquent
personal property taxes than there was
collected on the same account during
all of last year. Sheriff Justus be-
Iieves the method he has adopted in
the collection of these taxes will result
in the payment of more than rs per
cent of the $4,000 due, a record not
heretofore attained in the history of
the county
The vans will be kept in commission
SO long as there are any delinquents
with which to do business. While
Sheriff Justus declines to give any in
formation in advance as to the locality
which will be visited by his vans, it
was stated yesterday that the residence
district would be the scene of action
for some days yet.

WILL SIT WITH STATE
HIGH SCHOOL BOARD
C. A. Morey Says He Is, exOfficio, a
Member of That Body.

c. A. Morey. of Winona, who is pres
ident of the state normal school board.
now asserts that he has been advised
by the attorney generals department
that, as such officer. he is. ex-officio. a
member of the state high school board.
and that he will assert that preroga-
tive.
1t apears from the statement Of
Mr.. Morey that an act of the legisla-
ture of 1895 made the president Of the
normal board ex-officio a member of
the state high school board, but 1t was
believed that subsequent amendment
of the state high school act had an
nulled that provision. Mr.. Morey says
he has an opinion from the attorney
generals department to the effect that
such is not the case. and that the law
of 1895 is still in force.
The high school board will hold its
next meeting Aug. 8 at the state capt.
toll. and Mr.. Morey says he will be
present to assert his membership and
represent the normal board.

Members of the Second Ward I'm
provementN. association are preparing
to descend. en- masse, upon the COM
mittee on streets of the board of alder
men this afternoon, and the assembly
this evening, to protest against the
grading of Hudson avenue.
Several weeks ago P. III. Kelly Sc
cured from the council permission to
grade the street at his own request.
According to the claims of the asso-
citation Kelly. has converted the street
into a quarry, and under the protec-
ton of the permit has taken out sew
eral thousand dollars worth of stone.
This has left an unsfghtly hole. At the
last meeting of the board protests were
filed by the association, but no effort
whatever has been made to stop the
work.
Robert Seeger, who is heading the
movement to have the work stopped,
yesterday had number of photo
graphs made Of the alleged quarry,
and these will be used as exhibits by
the association in making their pro-
tests.
Kelly contends that he is not harm
ing the street. It is practically on the
side of the bluff that he says always
has been impossible.

GROCER is ARRESTED
FOR VIOLATING SABBATH
Association Starts Crusade to Compel
Observance of Law.

P. G. Hoffman, a grocer at 726 jack
son street, was arrested yesterday
morning on warrants charging him
with violating the state law against
keeping open grocery stores on Sun
day, and also with having violated the
new state law providing that gasoline
shall be sold in red cans.
The Retail Groeer's association has
determined to prosecute the cases
against Hoffman to test the validity of
the law. Hoffman, on the other hand,
is equally determined to fight the cases.
Hoffman asserts that his customers
desire him to keep the store open on
Sunday that they may purchase their
supplies, as they do no purchasing on
Saturday, which is their holiday. AS
for the charge that he violated the red
can law, he pleads that if he did so he
does not remember it, and that If such
was the fact he did so Internationally.
Both cases against Hoffman We're
continued till Aug. 1, and he was al
lowed to go on his own recognizance.

FUNERAL SERVICE
TAKES THE PLACE OF
WEDDING CEREMONY
Oscar Hill Who Was to Be Mar
ried to Miss Mary Morrison
Yesterday Dies at Hospital of
Appendicitis Girl Frustrated.

With all the preparations for a
wedding completed, the death of the
prospective bridegroom, Oscar Hill,
which occurred Monday, changed his
intended wedding day to the day of
his funeral Instead of the marriage
between Oscar Hill and Miss Mary
Morrison, the funeral of Oscar Hill
took place yesterday afternoon from
the o'ide's home, 667 Mississippi street.
The gay bridal garments which had
all been fashioned, and other incident
ais to the ceremony already provided,
were laid aside in an unoccupied room.
and the young woman who was to have
been Joined for life to the man of whom
death had robbed her was arrayed in
mournful black. The priest who had
been engaged to perform the marriage
ceremony conducted the funeral serv-
ice.
The sad end to the engagement of
Oscar Hill, and Miss Morrison came
last Monday, when the intended groom
died at Bethesda hospital of appendi-
citis. Mr.. Hill was taken i'll two weeks
ago, but the nature of his affection
was not known at first. He suffered
severely, and was finally obliged to
take to his bed in the midst of prep
arations for his approaching nuptials.
Though he was confined to his bed,
physicians held out assuring hopes to
the anxious man and the more anxious
young woman, who was constantly at
his bedside to attend him.
Cheered by False Hope.
Finally, his condition not improv-
ing, he was advised to go to the hos
pitaI. The exact state of his condition
was carefully kept from the young
woman, and she was told that he would
be out of the hospital entirely well be-
fore the day set for the wedding. Prep
arations, therefore, were carried on,
and as the day drew near everything
was in readiness.
Monday, however, the doomed man
suffered a fatal relapse, and all that
his physicians could do for him was
of no avail. In the evening the end
came.
At her home the busy young woman
was putting on the finishing touches
to the. beautiful, gown which she was
to have WORN at her wedding.
With his last breath the dying man
gasped words Of love- to be repeated to
his sweetheart ,a9wl1onr he realized he
would have to leave. He asked that
she might be called to his bedside, but
he died before a messenger could be
dispatched. One of his last acts was
to turn over his insurance to his be-
trothed. - 81 .--r
Gently the sad news of the death of
her intended husband was broken to
the girl. So Frustrated was she that
for a While it was feared that she
would follow him, She was carried to
her bed. where she was carefully at
tended by sympathizing friends. She
recovered sufficiently yesterday to be
present when the last rites were per-
formed over, the remains of the de-
parted.
Oscar Hill was thfrty-eight years of
age, and had, resided, in st. Paul for
over twenty-five years. : He had for
many years been owner of a barber
shop, and was a member of the Bar
bers union, which took charge of the
funeral
