in thickness. Huge masses hung from
the bridge, and the rails bent under
the weight
A cry arose. The carpenter rushed
to Capt. Fitzgerald. His face was
white. In quick, shouted words he told
of an awful discovery The ship had
sprung leak!
The pumps were quickly manned
All night the men labored.
Morning brought no hope. There
were now four feet of water in the
we'll.
On board the ice now weighed many
tons. All form of ship had vanished.
1t looked almost like an iceberg.
Hopelessness marked every coun-
tenance. With the water in her hold
dragging her down, and the ever
growing ice pressing heavily on the
deck, the ship lay on the verge OF
laundering.
Realizing the desperateness of their
plight, the captain ordered the vessel
to be lightened. Anchors were cast
overheard, cables, even the cargo, in
the effort to raise her few inches
higher in the water.
On the fifth day of the storm, when
the crew were almost ready to throw
themselves down and let Fate work
Its way, a long black cloud appeared
on the horizon. A ship was in sight.
A large vessel approached, moving
rapidly through the waves AS she
drew near, the watch on board tie
FROST bound schooner saw she was the
Atlantic Transport company's liner
Mesaba. From her bridge her captain
stared with amazement at the strange
sight of what at first looked like an
iceberg, then resolved into little
ship embedded in ice, and flying sig
nails of distress.
A boat shot from the Mesaba' s. side,
and made rapidly towards the kman-
da. At the sight Of 1t the wearied
men raised feeble cheer, then rushed
of to collect the more precious Of -nelr
belongings
One by one they climbed over the
ice-covered bulwarks and slid down to
the little boat that lay tossing at the
stern. Only Capt. Fitzgerald hest.
tated. A thought was IN his mind. He
dare not leave bis ship-a derelict
drifting in the track Of many ocean
liners. The schooner must be de.
stroyed.
Without word he turned on his
heels, and descended to his cabin. Il
. few minutes dense volumes Of smoke
poured from the matches.
Then the captain Joined his com
rades.

A fierce wind shrieked over the
schooner Amanda sailing from New
foundland. On the bridge, clad in oil
skins, stood Capt. Fitzgerald. Beside
him was the mate. An anxious look
rested on both mems faces. Before
them the sea rose in a great, white
capped, heaving mass, and dark clouds
moved swiftly across the sky.
Sails reefed to their fullest, the
Amanda rushed forward The waves
bore down upon her, and hurled them
selves against her side.
OF St. Johns the gale became a
hurricane. The thermometer sank low
in it's bulb, and the spray, dashed high
in the rigging, froze instantly, cover

Monday that he will not be candi-

to fill the vacancy when Senator James
Mcmillan died in 1902, and was elect
ed to fill out his unexpired term by the
legislature of 1908. Senator Alger's
decision not to again be a candidate
is the result Of his poor health. He
said: Il am troubled with my heart

lutely must not enter the field again

Contest q Tie.

st. Paul o. Oficials Of the dairy an
food commission are wondering To
whom should they award the first
prize IN the butter scoring contest.
Allie Olson Of Hector and Alfred
Schroeder Of Lafayette each scored 81,
and under the rules of the commission
there is no way of ascertaining who is
the winner
II has been suggested that a coin be
tipped to see who gets the prize. but
should this coarse be decided on, there
is question as to who should receive
the second prize. A G. Schandall OF
Elmore scored 96sl, the score next to
the highest, and would naturally re-
.ceive the second prize. A. 6. Schan-
got the second prize, the man who
scored 81. but lost on the ''f1ip'' would
get nothing. J. F. Kielty of Watkins,
who scored 96}1, expects the third
prize. The first prize is SIS cash,
the secon So and the third So.
Inheritance Tax.
The recent inheritance tax state
ments under the inheritance law pas

Five St Paul estates come under the
provisions OF the inheritance tax law.
The estate of Phal D Ferguson, esti-
mated at S25o,0oo, will pay the state
about $l2,0 900 on percent basis. The
estate is left to one heir, and the law
allows an exemption of $4,000. The
estate of Thomas Schnell, amounting
to $72, 800, will pay tax of " per
cent, after $4,000 exemption has
been taken out. The estate of Charles
E. Dickerman, amounting to $3.50, 900,
is left to five heirs Each heir is en-
titled to 3 $4,000 injunction. The es-
tate Of Katherine Stewart, amounting
to 81 800, and the estate Of Joseph o.

grown in value from less than $4,000
to $7O0,000, besides constantly paying

while he lived. Once broker offered
to cover the site with gold dollars for

cause it's site is so fine, overlooking
the Fifth avenue entrance to Central

crowned. So another in the endless
succession of 'the finest hotel in New

cost $15,000,000. This l do not believe.
There are to be 1000 rooms in the
house, and this price would mean that
each room, with it's share Of the land
price and Of the kitchen, dining room,

be rather steep.
