WATTS THREE DAYS
FOR BRIDES COMING
North Dakota Man Is Made
Happy by Arrival of His
Promised Wife.

After waiting three days for the ar
rival Of his fiancee, E. Manford Lud-
wick, ssof Tower City, N. D., was mar
ried shortly before midnight last night
to Miss AIDA w. Fowler, who arrived
in st. Paul from Monroe county, Ohio,
on late train.
The marriage ceremony was per-.
formed by Court Commissioner Gal
lick. at his office in the court house,
shortly before the big clock in the
tower of the building rang out its an
nouncen1ent of another day.
Mr.. Ludwick arrived in st. Paul
Monday, expecting to meet his prom
ised wife here the same evening. He
stopped at the Merchants hotel and
spent most of his time at the union
depot, scanning the faces Of passengers
who arrived on the trains from the
East.
Train after train arrived, but Miss
Fowler did not put in an appearance,
and a telegram to her in Ohio remain
ed unanswered. Discouraged, but not
without hope; Ludwick continued to-
meet the trains until he became a ia
miliar figure about the union station.
Is Made Happy by a Message.
Yesterday afternoon he was made.
happy when message was handed to-
him at the hotel. 1t was from Miss
Fowler, and contained the bare an
nouncement that she would arrive in
the evening. Ludwick consulted his
time table and hied himself to the court,
house, where he secured a marriage.
than
Commissioner Gallick to keep his office
open until the arrival of the young.
woman.
Early in the evening Ludwick took
up his watch at the station, and as the
Eastern trains arrived one after an
other and the object of his search was
not to be seen among the passengers,
he became rather anxious, and would
have given up for the night had he not
been Informed that one of the trains
was late.
He decided to wait for the late train,
and when it's passengers poured
through the gates Miss Fowler was
one of them. Mr.. Ludwick gave an
exclamation of joy and quickly made
his way to young woman weighted
down with baggage.
Soon Made Man and Wife.
When the baggage had been disposed
of at the hotel the couple hurried to
the court house, where Judge Gallick
was in waiting. Ten minutes later
they were man and wife.
Ludwick is in. the mercantile bust
ness at Tower City, a small town forty
miles west of Fargo, and it was there
that he met Miss; Fowler. She had WIS.,
tied in Tower City last summer. and
at that time the two had become en-
| Gagged The. engagement was kept a
secret from their friends. and when Mr..
/ Ludwick left his town last Sunday to
meet the. bride-to-be in st. Paul., his
most intimate friends did not discount
his story that he was going down to
Fargo on business trip"
Mr.. and Mrs. Ludwfek will remain
in ST. Paul until Saturday, when they
Will go to Tower City, where they will
make their home.

IT COMES UP AGAIN
School Board Still Faces
Mourning Period Problem.

To all appearances the period of
mourning resolution before the board
of school inspectors has been ridiculed
out of existence, and if by any chance
it should again see the light of day it
will come forth in sadly mutilated
form, so changed that it will not be
recognized by it's most intimate friends.
AT the secret session of the board
yesterday, held under the name of a
meeting of the committee on schools,
the inspectors took UP the subject gin
gerly and with unfeigned regret Some
of the members thought that the sub
jeet should be allowed to regulate it
self, but when the work on the month
ly pay roll had been completed and it
was found that during the past thir-
ty days two teachers had lost. their
mothers, one having taken two days
vacation and the other seven, the ques-
ton was raised and had to be consid-
cred.
The question at issue seemed to be
simple on it's face, but the inspectors
concluded after an hour spent in an
effort to agree upon the proper allow
ance in case of death in the immediate
family of a teacher, that it will be i'm
possible to agree upon the terms of a
resolution that would not meet with
about the same kind of a reception ac-
corded the original.
1T is severe task" said one of the
inspectors after the meeting, as he
wiped his glasses to occupy his time
and suppress his merriment. But it
is one that comes up every month. In
a nutshell, the situation has it's seri-
Gus, as we'll as its humorous side. One
teacher had a leave of absence of two
days when her mother died. Another
took seven days off for the same rea-
son and wanted pay for the entire
time. To allow her for the seven days
would be to create a precedent. So
there is apparently nothing to do but
formulate mourning schedule and
simply grin and bear the ridfcule of
the public. A majority Of the menu
bers of the board were opposed to the
original resolution, and the effort to
formulate a substitute was only par
TALLY accomplished. If there Is in the
city man, or woman for that matter,
who can solve this question and avoid
the faeetious features he will receive
the undying gratitude of seven puzzled
school inspectors"

ORDERS ARE MERGED
Railway Clerks Unions Have
Now Become One,

The st. Paul railway clerks will on
Friday evening hold an open meeting
in Bowlby hall, Sixth and Robert, to
celebrate the amalgamation of the two
national organizations. To this meet
ing all the railway clerks are invited
the object being to lay before them the
fact that there is now but one national
organization.
The meetings will be under the aus
piees of ST. Paul Division No 16, Of
the National Railway Clerks Associa-
ton, but which will In the future be
known as Division No. IT, National
Order of Railway Clerks. The latter is
the name that has been adopted by
the amalgamated order.
The Order of Railway Clerks was Or
ganized in Sedalia, Mo-, IN 1900, and
year later the National Railway Clerks
association was formed in Akron, Ohio.
Both of the organizations began form
ing divisions in different sections of
the country, with the result that in
some cities there was a lodge affiliat-
ing with the former order and in 9TH
ers with the latter association. 1t was
found in time that many of the railway
clerks who might otherwise have been
induced to become members refused on
the plea that it was not certain which
Of the two organizations would last.
This phase of the situation was set
tied by the amalgamation and the es-
tablishment of headquarters in Kan
sas City. The combined organizations
have a. membership of $4,000.
At the .Friday evening meeting two
of the national officers of N. o. R. c..
by which initials the organization will
become known, will be in attendance,
and will make known the objects Of
the order. An added feature is sick
benefits, which are to be allowed with
out additional cost.
The 300 members of the local dtvi-
sion have been requested to invite as
many as possible of the local railway
clerks, but the officers desire that it be
understood that all will be welcome.
Besides a programme of vaudeville.
there will be a boxing match Of four
rounds.

HAVE CONTEST OVER
POSSESSION OF CHILD
Orphan Girl Is Allowed to Go With
Friends Instead of Relatives.

Ruby Lindstrom, a twelve-year-
orphan girl was the subject of a legal
contest in the probate court yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. and Mrs. John Miller,
who took charge of the child when her
father died, wanted permission to take
her with them to California, but were
opposed by August Linden, an uncle
of the child.0
The child inherited 900 at the
death of her father, and the property
is supposed to be the cause of the con-
test for her possession. The girl said
she would rather live with the Miller
family than with her uncle and aunt,
and Judge Bazille gave the necessary
permission for her to go with the
Millers to California.
The court ruled, however, that the
property should be left in the custody
of the probate court.

=.
The aged mother of Fred Fisher created
a scene In the criminal court room yester-
day afternoon when her son was sem

luckily. They were: William Ramsey,
William YarnelI and Charles OConnen,
and all of them peaded guilty.

and Judge Jaggard gave the boy sound
lecture and his freedom OConne1 was
also given his freedom, but YarneH, who
was older. was held pending an investiga-

FIND A BOY BABY
ON THEIR DOORSTEP
West Central Avenue Family
Presented With a Pretty Wait
Deserted by Parents.

When D. G. Kissel opened the front
door of his residence, 500 West Central
avenue, last night at $50 o'clock, in re-
Spouse to a ring of the bell, he was sur
prised to find instead of visitor a small
package, wrapped carefully in large
woolen shawl, lying on the threshold
Bending over the bundle he found it
contained an infant and upon hurriedly
removing the coverings discovered the
chubby face of a small baby boy, whose
large blue eyes looked at him in wonder
Taking the child in his arms, Mr.. Kissel
made an attempt to find the person who
had bestowed it upon him, but the night
was dark and no one was in sight Buggy
tracks making a sharp turn in front of
his house led Mr.. Kissel to the conclusion
that the person who had left the child
had made good his or her escape by driv-
ing away.
Mr.. Kisse1 and his wife, found it to be
a baby boy about two months old, APP
parently in the best of health. That its
parents had been in good circumstances
was Indicated by the quality of the cloth
ing, and the child evidently had been
well cared for.
Only Clue Is a Note.
Written upon a small piece of paper
torn from the back of an envelope in a
neat feminine hand was the following:
This baby has been baptised in the
Catholic faith
This note, the only information concern
ing the child, was tucked between the
buttons of it's little frock. There were no
marks, on the clothing that might lead
to establishing the chi1ds identity.
Mr.. Kissel and his wife having several
children of their own, decided that they
should not assume the burden Of rearing
the unknown baby boy. They therefore in
formed the police and the, patrol wagon
was sent and the child was conveyed to
the city hospital. 1t was placed in the
it's parents are found or it is removed to
an asylum
The police believe that the persons
leaving the baby on Mr. KissefS doorstep
made a mistake, and that they intended
to leave it with Mrs. Henrietta Stencil a
midwife living next door, at 298 West
Central avenue.

After spending almost three hours in
executive session last evening, the
board of fire commissioners ordered a
second-size Metropolitan fire engine
from the American Fire Engine COM
pany, for $1,000, on which credit of
$500 will be given by the successful
bidder for the old engine.
The original bids submitted were for
t1aird-size engine, but after putting
the representatives of the two compa-
MES through a severe course of cross
examination it was decided to take a
second-size engine, particularly as it
could be secured, including extras, for
less money than the smaller size was
offered for. The statesmen were called
in several different times and closely
questioned, and it was claimed after
the meeting closed that the fire COM
missioners decided upon the engine in
question because of the patent boiler
with which 1t is fitted. The vote on
letting the contract was to 1.
Bids Submitted.
The bids We're on the proposition to
furnish a third-size engine, and were:
American Fire Engine company, known
as the trust, La France engine, $4,750s
with $3.50 allowed for old engine; Met
ropolitan engine, $3.50, with $500 for
the old engine; Clapp & Jones engine,
$4,000, with $500 for old engine.
The only competitor of the American
people was the Mott Fire Engine com
pany, of Minnnea polls, which offered
the engine for $3.50. and $1,000 for
the old engine, and later offered the
second-size engine for the same price.
E. P. Browning represented the Mott
company, and John P. Ahrens the
American company The former did
not enter an objection when the COM
peting concern was given the contract.
