CONSTABLE is SENT
AFTER FEATHER BED
Axel NyStrOm Cleans Out Home
After Quarrel With His
Second Wife.
Nj

Having had violent dispute with
his second wife with whom he had
been residing at It's Pleasant avenue,
Axel Nystrom yesterday afternoon re-
plevined from her a feather bed a
quantity Of clothing and two gaIvaniz-
ed washtubs, much the worse for wear
but dear to him for having been the
property of his first wife.
Mrs. Emma Nystrom, the second
wife, might have continued to use the
sanctified tubs, might have slept last
night as on previous nights in the
highly priced feather bed and might
have retained the possession of six
pillows, one dozen pillow cases, six
sheets and four comforters indefinitely
had not domestic difficulty arisen in
the Nystrom family yesterday. The
result of the trouble was that Nystrom
left the house in anger and later ap-
piled to Justice Hoff for a writ of re-
plevin for the articles mentioned.
Constable Arthur Gaines, to whom
the writ was given for service, went to
the residence and demanded possession
Of the things named in the process.
If you take the bed, I shall have no
place to Sleep" pleaded Mrs. Ny
strom.
I cannot help that" replied the con-
stable. THE law commands me to
take the bed and I must take it to-
gether with the other articles men
toned in the writ. You will have a
chance to contest your right to them
In court, but before the trial they will
be In my possession. 1 shall have to
take the things whether you wish me
TO or not, and you might as we'll sur
render them without trouble"
Mrs. Nystrom finally yielded, and the
leather bed, tubs and clothing were
gathered together and removed to the
cOnstable's office.
Another writ sworn out by Nystrom
required Constable Gaines to secure
possession of a gold watch chain,
which Nystrom alleged had been torn
from his vest in a scuff1e which was
part OF the trouble leading to his de-
parture. Mrs. Nystrom asserted that
she knew nothing of it. The constable
then made a. thorough search of the
premises and found the cross bar, but
was unable to find single link.
The cause Of the trouble was not
learned, as the parties concerned re-
fused to talk of it. Nystrom names
Mrs. Emma Nystrom and her daughter,
Miss Ruth Nystrom, as defendants.
The hearing has been set for trial in
Justice HOff's court April 5.

Col. Charles J. Monfort, president
and secretary of the Windsor Hotel
company, and one Of the best known
men in the state, is dangerously ill
at that hotel. While his life is not
despaired of, it is admitted by the
physicians in charge that the end may
come at any time.
On March Is Col. Monfort found it
necessary to take to his bed. He was
suffering from pleurisy and in addition
was threatened with pneumonia. Given
the best of medical attention and care
fully nursed he seemed to improve
gradually, the physician in charge an
nouncing yesterday morning that he
was convalescent to an extent that
warranted the belief that he would be
up in a few days.
A startling relapse occurred at noon
yesterday. The nurse found Col Mon
fort unconscious. Physicians were
hastily summoned and spent most of
the afternoon with the patient.
At o'clock last evening it was an
nounced that his condition warranted
hope, something that could not have
been previously asserted. Conscious

MEMORIES
Petition to Dissolve Driving Club
Recalls Them.

Memories Of the pleasures of a by
gone time are recalled by a legal docu-
ment filed yesterday in the office of
the clerk of the district court. The
instrument is, after the manner of it's
kind, prosy, direct and matter of fact,
and merely petitions the court to dis
solve the Minnesota Driving club. Some
facts in the history of the club are
given, but coldly and bluntly.
1t is told that the club was incor-
porated April l, 1890, for the purpose
of constructing a club house for the
use of its members and that it did con-
struct such a club house at, the state
fair grounds at Hamline. But as this
is strictly a legal document nothing
is said Of the many happy hours spent
by the members and their friends at
their club house. Not even a mention
is made of those few but most enjoy
able years when every summer there
was running meeting at the Ham
line track, and for several happy weeks
the bang-tail horses furnished enter
tainment and excitement
No word is said Of the merry but
select companies that gathered in the
club house on those summer afternoons
to sit in the shade of the broad YER
dnudS just p10dSantly aIOOr from the
demonstratiTe rabble Of the grand
stand, and watch the races in comfort
and without being jostled or crowded
except by ones friends. No hint is
given of the elaborate toilettes to be
seen on the verandas and lawns of
the club house those summer days. or
of the epicurean repasts served TO the
fortunate elect, or the handsome equip
ages standing in the Enclosure, or of
the many other pleasures that were
to be found there.
The petition abruptly dismisses the
historical record in the statement that
in September, 1903, fire destroyed the
club house and its fixtures, and the
board of directors Of the club at a
meeting held March 81, 1894, decided
not to rebuild and to recommend that
the corporation be dissolved and the
funds remaining be divided among the
members in good standing.
In the list Of members still in good
standing is to be found a most re-
markable grouping of well known men
of the Twin Cities. They are:
Marcus Johnson, James J. Hill,
Crawford Livingston, Thomas Lowry,
Richard T. O'ConnOr, Ernest B. Put
nam, E. N. Saunders, Louis n. Scott.
Theodore A. Schulze, Peter Stems,
Frederick D. Underwood, Ebert A.
Young, Greenleaf Clarke, James Doran,
Paul ID. Ferguson, George r. Finch,
Richards Gordon, C. G.. Goodrich and
Roscoe F. Hersey.

When Otto Kersten, employed as a
stenographer at the Haag-Laubach
Roofing and COrnice company's works,
Third and st. Peter streets, reported
for work yesterday morning he found
the above note on stand where he
had on the previous evening left a new
500 typewriter.
A large plate glass window, near
which the typewriter stood, was bro
ken, and the polite note left by the
nervy burglar had been carefully and
neatly written on the stolen machine.
Kersten at first looked upon the mat
ter as joke, but when he discovered
the remnants of the broken window
the truth dawned upon him that his
machtne~had been stolen. The window
had been broken and the sharp glass
cleared away from the edges, so that
person might easily enter through
the opening. A string which held the
curtain down had been cut
That 1T was no ordinary sneak thief
that carried away the machine is evir
denced by the deliberate manner in
which the burglar went about his
work and by the fact that the ordi-
nary sneak thief does not know how
to manipulate a typewriter correctly.
The paper on which the note had been
written ndu Deen taken from drawer
IN the typewriter desk, and the work
could not have been neater if done by
an expert operator.
The Office from which the machine
was stolen is within block and half
of the police station, and after break
ing the window and entering the room,
it was necessary for the intruder to
turn on an electric light, as the office
had been left in darkness. Kersten
bought the machine only four months
ago, paying 800 for it. 1t was de-
scribed to the police as a No. Rem
ington, good as new.
The police are inclined to believe
that the thief is some person accus-
toned to use a typewriter, and for this
reason it is not expected that an at
tempt will be made to dispose of it
through the ordinary channels of the
pawn shop.

St Paul Churches Celeb rate
Day With Special Services.

Maundy Thursday, celebrated YES
terday with special services by the
local Catholic and Episcopal churches,
the Jewish synagogues and certain of
the Masonic lodges, commentaries the
passover, the institution Of. the Lords
supper and of the Christian priesthood
and the washing of the apostles feet.
In Catholic churches last evening. as
well as on Wednesday evening. the Of

from the darkness of the churches) is
,chanted. 1t consists of the mathis and
laudsu for the following mornings re-
cited In advance. During this office a
large cahdlestick' is placed near the
altar, bearing, fifteen tapers disposed in
the form of a. triangle and representing
the light of Christ and of the prophets
who had announced. his coming. AS
the psalms are sung the tapers are
eXtinguished until only the topmost re-
mains. This as it represents Christ
is taken down and carried behind the
altar during the eMiserere," after
which it Is put back in it's place to
signify the temporary extinction of the
light Of Christ between his death and
resurrection.
During the Gloria in Excelsis" Of
the mass of Maundy Thursday all the
church bells are rung. Thereafter they
remain silent through the melancholy
hours Of Good Friday and until the
Gloria in EXcelsis' in the mass of
Holy Saturday. A large host conse-
Grated at this mass is carried to a
side altar, called the sepulchre, which
is richly DECORATED. There the host re-
mains and there it is visited by the
faithful during the whole of Good Fri
day.
Much less elaborate are the services
of Maundy Thursday at the Episcopal
churches. But even some of the local
churches of that faith administered
the communion yesterday during the
evening service. On all other occasions
throughout the year the eucharist is
served only at the morning service.
At the synag ogues yesterday the
services celebrated the festival Of "pe-
sach," the passover, instituted by
Moses in copmemoration of the Israel
ties escape on the night of the destruc-
ton of the firstborn in Egypt when
death passed over the Hebrew houses
marked with the blood Of lamb. Since
the final destruction of the temple of
Jerusalem the passover has been ceIe-
brated out of Palestine by eating I'M
leavened bread during eight days, by
abstinence from labor on the first
two and the last two days, and
by observing on the first and second
evenings Of the passover season, vari-
Gus domestic rites that commemorate
the deliverahce from Egyptian bondage
and that include the recital of scrip
tural and legendary narratives.
At Masonic hall last evening the
paschal lamb was eaten by local Ma
sons who have taken the Scottish rite

ESCAPING GAS ALMOST
CLAIMS GIRL VICTIM
Miss A. M. Fox Found Unconscious in
Room by Her Mother.

Miss A. M. Fox, who lives with her
mother at 20 East Tenth street, mar
rowly escaped death by asphyxiation
early yesterday morning. She was found
unconscious about Z o'clock, but es-
capped serious consequences. About 4
o'clock in the morning Miss Fox was
awakened by a terrible headache and
nausea. She had strength enough to
raise the window a couple of inches
and then fell unconscious. Her mother
detected the fumes early in the morn
ing, and on going to the girls room
discovered that the gas was escaping
through a tube which connected a
lamp and the gas jet. A physician was
Immediately called, who soon revived
the girl. 1t was reported last night
that she was out of danger.

ness had returned and Col. Monfort
was able to recognize those about his
bedside. From that time on during
the night he rested well, but was APP
parently very~Veak. A second stroke
was feared by Che physicians, the out
come of which they were not prepared
to predict. Col. Monfort has suffered
from like apopleetic strokes upon pre-
Vlous occasions and a recurrence, it
was feared, would likely prove fatal.
Later in the night it became appar-
ent that thereEC is very little hope of
ultimate recovery, and all of the near
relatives of Col. Monfort were mott
fed that the end will probably come
within few days. This was due to
the fact that the patient did not rally
from the shock of the stroke.

REFUSE TO REDUCE
THE PRICE Of MILK
Local Dealers Say the Expense
of Maintaining Oairles
Is Too Great.

st. Paul milk dealers will not make
the customary reduction in the price
of the tactical fluid this spring. They
assign the present high prices Of feed
for cows, the rigid inspection Of the
dairies and the consequent increased
cost of maintaining their industry as
the reasons for their determination not
to give more tickets in return for the
universal unit of exchange. Local milk
dealers have been issuing during the
winter from sixteen to eighteen tickets
for 81, and at meeting Wednesday
night they decided not to increase the
number of tickets to eighteen and
twenty, as is customary at this season
Of the year.
The meeting was held at Johnson
hall, Seventh and Bradley, and State
Dairy Commissioner Mcconnell was
present and addressed the meeting.
Commissioner Mcconnell complimented
the association of st. Paul milk ven
doris on the Improvement of their con-
veniences during the year. The rigid
inspection Of the state department has
driven out many of the smaller dealers,
and has increased the cost Of produc-
ing the milk sold to st. Paul consum-
ers by forcing the dealers to keep their
milk in detached houses and to observe
a greater degree of cleanliness in their
barns and by forbidding the use of
garbage as food for mich COWS.
An inspector is constantly employed
in the Twin Cities to see that the aver
age Of butter fat is kept up to stand
ard and nothing less than 3 per cent
is permitted to be sold.
Country Milk Inferior.
Coming into competition with st.
Paul dealers is much country milk
which tests considerably below this fig
ure, and recently arrests have been
made in various parts of the state of
dealers who were shipping milk to
the Twin City markets and failing to
comply with the tests.
The s.. Paul milk supply is much
better than the average of milk sold
throughout the state, and naturally
costs more money to- produce, while
the COW owners have lost heavily be-
cause of cows ordered killed for tuber-
culosis. One dealer recently lost thir-
teen head of the animals.
In view of the present conditions.
and a declaration from Commissioner
Mcconnell that there would be no
abatement of the rigidity of inspection.
and the further fact that feed prices
show no sign of depreciating, the deal
erS adopted a resolution declaring
against any reduction in the present
price of milk. The dealers agree to
COWS are turned out to pasture.
The local milk vendors will meet
again in a month and promise Com
missioner Mcconnell their hearty CO.
operation in the work. About hun
dred were present at the meeting.
