Fort Wayne, Ind, Jan. At is
learned on reliable authority that the
estate of the late Judge James Cheney
is worth at least $4,000. 900 instead
of the two or three millions first re-
ported. An investigation OF the de-
cedent's safety deposit box in New
York by Judge Nelson of Logansport,
his son-inIaw, resulted, it is said in
finding securities of which none of the
family had any knowledge. A friend
of the family said Wall street brokers
told him the estate might reach $14,-

Indianapolis, Jan. A. The state
board OF health has received reports
indicating that scarlet fever is preva-
lent in a mild form in different parts
of the state The reports show few
deaths from the disease. In some 10
calities the fever seems not to have
been recognized and has been dag
nosed as some other disease. From
this fact the board considers this mild
form dangerous.

MUST SERVE A YEAR
FOR STABBING WIFE
Woman Pleads With Judge to Make the
Sentence Light.

Robert Krug, a horseshoer living on
Western avenue, pleaded guilty in the
criminal division of the district court
yesterday to assault in the second de-
gree and was sentenced by Judge Jag
gard to a reformatory sentence.
Last week Krug, while under the in
fiuence of liquor, quarreled with his
wife and stabbed her in the shoulder
with a butcher knife. He was indicted
by the grand jury, and when arraigned
yesterday admitted the deed, but said
he had not intended to injure his wife.
Mrs. Krug, still suffering from the
knife wound, appeared in court and
pleaded for her husband, saying she
was willing to take him back again.
When the court pronounced sentence
the frail little woman threw her arms
about her husbands neck and followed
him and the deputy sheriff from the
court room. She was almost in a state
of collapse She said she would await
his release from prison, which will be
a year at the least.

THEY'LL co TO LAW
WheeImen Will Protect Bicycle
Paths.

AS a result Of the efforts of the AS
ISOLATED Wheelmen of ST. Paul, the
members of the cycle path commission
will take legal action against telephone
companies that have been planting tele-
graph poles on Or near the cycle paths
of Ramsey county, and thereby dam
aging them. And the chief of police
will be called upon today by COM
mittee and urged to enforce the ordi
nances for the preservation of the
wheelmen's highways. In petition
to the cycle path commission, signed
by 1900 Wheelmen, the commission is
asked:
"a To formulate some plan whereby
bicycle tags be placed on sale with mer-
chants in different parts of the city.
CD That the bicycle tags be left at
so cents per annum.
(9) That means be taken to properly
police the paths within said city and coun-
ty. SO as to prevent cattle and vehicles
drawn by horses from defacing and rem
dering said paths impossible.
The st. Paul Motor club was repre-
scented at the meeting last evening by
c. Edgen, who spoke on behalf of the
riders of motorcycles and promised the
support of the club in the wheelmen's
demand for protection of paths.
The officers of the association are:
William Johnson, chairman; o. H.
Crimson, treasurer; Herbert p. Keller,
secretary. There is no charge for join
ing the organization. A person by
simply signing his name to the petition
can become a member The next meet
ing will be held April 4.

LURE The FAIR SEX
Easter Gowns at Manufacturers
Draw a Crowd.

Even the lowering skies and wet
streets did not prevent the women from
crowding the suit department at Mann
heimer's yesterday to see the Easter
Fdisplay Of ready made gowns. The
woman who could not find what she
wants in this collection Of beautiful
frociks and coats is hard to suit. One
excellent thing about present styles is
their variety, SO that all the women
will not have to wear long coats or
short ones, but each can use her taste
and consult the suitability of the gar
ments to her figure.
Manufacturers tailored costumes are
famous, and the exquisite full-dress
gowns to be found there now make it
possible for the woman with whom
time is an object to obtain her entire
wardrobe in this way.
The silk and linen shirtwaist suits
at Manufacturers are great tempta-
ton to every woman; they are in
white, all the light shades, black, blues
and browns. Here are street gowns,
calling and dress costumes, and even
ing toilettes in satin, wolfe, chiffons
and malines.
This year the outing costumes of
linen, grasscloths and brilliantines are
particularly hobby. The summer girl
may have thought yesterday morning
that it was too soon to consider out
ing and lake gowns, but when She
reached Mannheimer's and saw that
beautiful display she even forgot her
Easter bonnet, and that Is saying a
good deal. This wonderful showing of
ready-made and tailored costumes Will
continue today.

CONTRACTOR MUST
FIGHT FOR HIS PAY
Comptroller Betz VIII Not Audit
Estimates on Grading of
Forest Street.

Comptroller Betz yesterday agreed to
the demand of the delegation from
the First Ward Improvement associa-
ton that Thomas Linnan be refused
further pay for the grading of Forest
street.
The delegation, consisting of Abel
Anderson, C. E. Hillstrom, John Korn-
gable, C. S.. Berg and Frank Shogren,
insisted that they believed that the
street railway company was RESPONSE
BILE for the delay in the completion Of
the grading, the street railway COM
pany desiring to avoid the building of
the line to Phalen park.
The records show that the original
contract for the grading was at 3d.
1887, on which Linnan was allowed
two estimates totaling $3.50. which
would leave balance due the con-
tractor of 81, 1897 if the'work was COM
pleted. But such is not the case, and
the First ward delegation insisted
that the entire amount be imposed as
a penalty because the contract was
not completed on time.
The contract provided that the grad
ing should have been completed Aug.
Is, 1903, and imposed a penalty of $25
for each days delay. If the full pen
atty were enforced, therefore. it would
amount to $5.625, this being the total
of 225 days at $25 a day. But Linnan
claims the time for the completion of
the work was extended for sixty days.
This would reduce the time to 165 days,
making the total penalty $4,125-con-
siderably more than the contract price
of the grading
Comptroller Betz thought that the
stand was correct, and agreed that IT
the contractor is granted further estl-
mates he would refuse to audit them
for payment, which would compel Lin
nan to bring mandamuS proceedings
if he would collect.
Will Force Building of Line.
The same committee failed to see
Corporation Attorney Michael who will
be requested to bring an action to COM
pei the street railway company to build
the line to Phalen park. Having been
advised that it would be impossible TO
compel the building of the line on For
est from Maryland, the committee will
recommend the bringing of the action
to have the line built on Earl street,
the original route.
Abel Anderson, at the head of the
committee, and president of the asso-
citation that it represented, said In
speaking of the street railway line:
1t seems that the street railway COM
pany is determined to fight the develop
ment of Phalen park. apparently on the
theory that Wildwood would be, injured.
The First ward people do not take much
stock in all this talk about the 5 per
cent gross earnings tax, but propose to
build this line if it is necessary to bring
the action in court on their own account.
We have the best of legal advice that the
company can be compelled to build, and
we do not care If the company. has to
disgorge to the city 8 per cent of it's
acted fairly in this matter. We have
every reason to believe that Linnan's de-
lay in the execution of the contract to
grade Forest street was due to the In
huence of the street railway company,
and we acted upon the theory that the
company will be compelled to pay the
penalty imposed on Linnan.

missioners Pottgieser, Nash, Powers
and Wright opposed the payment OF the
bill, and their four votes were enough
to hold the matter up.
Commissioner Gray's soft-soap bill
was finally allowed at yesterdays SEES
sion The bill called for the payment
Of SLIGO for soft soap used at the
county Jail. Commissioner Gray, as
chairman of the. jail committee. had
ordered the soap but the bill had been
held UP by the board for some time,
the county attorney; having declared II
to be an illegal claim. The members
decided yesterday that they had had
enough fun at. Mr.. .Grays expense by
refusing to settle the bill, and voted to
allow it,.
M. F. Brennan the liveryman. had
bill before the board for team hire
The county commissioners had used ms
carriages to the extent of So. but the
county attorney declared they had no
right to do so, and Mr.. Brennan stands
a poor chance of getting his pay unless
the members of the board pay 1t out OF
their own pockets.
The board looked after several other
minor matters, and adjourned until the
first Monday in April.

LET THE CONTRACTS
PhaIen and Douglas Schools to
Have Additions.

The contracts for the additions to
the Phalen Park and the Douglas
schools were let yesterday to the low
est bidders. E. j. Daily will construct
the Phalen Park annex for $23,515, and
Hanke & Ella will install the heating
plant for $2,725, the total cost of the
addition being $26,24O. The building
must be ready for occupancy Oct. 1.
Brown & Bowling secured the con-
tract for the eight-room addition to
the Douglas school for $26,444 This
does not include the heating plant, it
being the intention of the board to in
stall steam heating for the entire build
ing, which must be ready for use
Nov. l.
The additions will in each case in
crease the buildings to sixteen rooms.
The Phalen school is in the First ward
and the Douglas in the Sixth ward.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-03-22

The board of county commissioners
yesterday turned down bill present
ed by Sheriff Justus, in which a claim
against the county for $1,007 is made.
The sheriff asks this much for serving
executions which were not satisfied.
Assistant County Attorney O'Neill
ruled that the sheriff had no right to
fees on executions where there was no
satisfaction, and the bill went to the
county board with the disapproval of
the legal department.
Commissioners Wright, Nash and
Powers wanted to pay the bill re-
CARELESS of the attorneys opinion, but
their three votes were tied by the
other three members Of the board, and
a moment later when Mayor Smith ar
rived the bill was disallowed.
The bill is for executions served by
the sheriff during the year 1903, and
a test. case will be brought for the
purpose Of having the matter settled
by the courts. Sheriff Justus contends
that he is entitled to pay for this
work and is preparing to bring suit
against the county at once.
Holds Up Contractors Bill.
Another bill which the commission
ers refused to allow was one for ST.
6S7.25, presented by Lauer Bros, who
made the changes in the county treas
urers Office. The contract was let by
the joint courthouse and city hall COM
mission, and the bill presented to the
county is for one-half the work.
The joint commission went to con-
siderable trouble to see that the work
was done cheaply, and in view of the
fact that the commission had approved
the contract made with Lauer Bros.
Mayor Smith thought the county board
was wrong in holding the bill up. Com

herman has the ambition and will seek
to crafty 1T by declaring himself a
candidate when the legislature shall
have been elected. He is rich, Scan
dinavian, and there are powerful in
fuences which, if they decide to sup
port him, are not to be lightly con-
sidered. The story goes that Smith
will not wait for Senator Nelson's
term to expire, but will seek to cap
ture Senator Clapps seat, which will
be at the disposal of the next legisla-
ture.
81 am Democrat"
This was the declaration of John L..
Gieske, the young man who gave Con-
gresham Fred Stevens such a scare
two years ago in the congressional
election, and who was candidate at
the recent primaries for the Office of
mayor on the Democratic ticket.
Il am Democrat and one of the
fundamentals of Democracy, as / I'M
derstand them, is to submit to the will
Of the majority. A majority Of the
Democratic voters of st. Paul declared
their preference for Robert A. Smith
as their nominee at the primaries and
I cheerfully submit to their dictum
Considering that I made no campaign
and was opposed by a man who is so
generally beloved and respected as Mr..
Smith in the community where he has
made his home for half a century, feel
very well satisfied with the result of
the primaries OF course, I was some
what disappointed at first in the re-
turns, but I concluded Immediately to
cheerfully accept the situation and will
give my earnest and undivided support
toward the reelection of Mayor Smith
and the election of the ticket which
he heads. He is a man of whom no
citizen of st. Paul can say aught but
good, and while may have disagreed
with him in one or two of his official
actions, have never said or done any
thing in the campaign which could be
construed as a reflection on him per-
sonally. 1 shall be glad to use what
ever influence l have to assist in his
triumphant reelection on May g."
Mr.. Gieske spoke with considerable
warmth, for interested parties have
been attempting to give the impression
that he was sore.
The appointment of P. A. Ewert of
Pipestone, as second assistant attorney
general is the subject Of quite a bitter
controversy between the PipeStone
newspapers. It having been charged
by the Star that Ewert's appointment
was not pleasing to any considerable
portion Of the Republicans of the town.
Ewert's paper, the Review, insisted
that nine-tenths of the devotees of the
G. o. P. at Pipestone were glad indeed
that the plum had fallen in his caapa-
cious mitt The Star has canvassed the
town and says it finds that Ewert's
contention is the correct one-that
everybody is glad that he is to leave
the place Newspaper unity at Pipe
stone is far from an accomplished fact.
The refusal of Frank M. Wilson, of
Red Wing, to listen to the voice of
his constituents of Goodhue county and
come out as a candidate for attorney
general will probably result in combining
the fight for the Republican nomina-
ton to W. J. Donahower, of st. Paul,
and E. T. Young, of Appleton, and the
fight promises to be interesting.

ARE POLLUTING
THE WATER SUPPLY
Monticello People Use River as a
Dumping Place.

From Monticello the state board of
health has just received information
that indicates still further pollution of
the water supply of Minneapolis.
Secretary Bracken got a letter yes
terday from a resident of Monticello,
who says that at that place, which is
about forty miles above Minneapolis
on the Mississippi, a number of per-
sons are dumping all sorts Of refuse
on the ice in the river.
This, Dr. Bracken says, is a direct
violation Of the state health laws, and
the offenders are liable to heavy pen
atty. Measures will be taken at once
to put stop to the practice and to
prosecute the offenders.
