On Monday afternoon last there

8el county, at Birdsville, about fif-
teen miles from Annapolis. The
storm was unusual for mid winter.
Black clouds gathered. the lightning

layers were called out of their homes
by the unusual sound and sight of q
thunder storm of this nature in jan

THE BODY is. RECOVERED.
ALICE QUEENS REMAINS ARE
FOUND IN THE CREEK.
The Colored Woman Committed Sui
eide BY Drowning In Rear
of ST. johns College.
IS MADE BY THE
SAUMENIG BROTHERS.

The body of a colored woman, Alice
Queen, whose sudden disappearance
was told in sthe Capital fortnight
ago, was found about 8. 80 O'Clock last
night IN the water near the shore of
the north side of College creek, one
of the boundaries of Annapolis 1t is
most likely that the woman commit.
ted suicide during temporary de-
rangement of her mind.
The body was discovered by two
brothers, John " and William Sau-
menig and Charles Waters. who were
gigging for pike, and brought il tothe
Annapolis side of the river. 1t was
in about two feet of water, about
sixty yards above the bridge of the
Baltimore and Annapolis Short Line
railroad.
This morning the body was viewed
by Justice of the Peace Charles G..
Feldmeyer and DR.. Washington q.
Claude, and the case was declared to
be so clear a one of suicide that no
jury was summoned. An empty half
pint bottle labelled landanum was
found in the bosom of her dress and
there was not the slightest indica-
tion of any violence Oh her pei Ison.
The woman was 40 years of age and
was the wife of Thomas Queen, and
has several children living. She has
a son who became damented last
summer while on the cruise and this
has preyed on her mind until it be-
came weakened There lis no doubt
but what she took laudanum and then
jumped overheard. The husband of
the woman stated she had money on
her and carried her bank book with
her when she disappeared from home.
1t is possible she may have become
stupefied from the drug and been
robbed while lying on the shore of
College creek, and possibly been
dragged into the shallow water, but
this theory is hardly probable, and it
is not accepted by the police author
titles.
The story of the woman's S disappear
ance, as published in the Capital, was
as follows: On Sunday afternoon,
January IA, Alice Queen, while at
home with her husband and family,
took sudden notion TO leave the house
and went out despite the protests of
her family in heavy rainstorm. She
was lightly clad and threw only a
thin shawlabout her shoulders and over
her heard Nothing was seen or heard
of her until last night, when the
body was found. AT first upon her
disappearance it was thought she had
gone to visit neighbors, and after an
absence of several days her family
thought as she had taken her money
and bank book, she might have gone
to Baltimore. No one seemed to ap.
preciate the fact that the woman had
committed suicide.
The remains were taken this morn
ing to the dead woman's home and
prepared for burial.

ILLEGAL FISHING REPORTED
Sam FuIlerton's Men Needed at Lakes
Emily and Jefferson.

A st. Peter telegram says that sum-
mer resort proprietors at Lake Emily
and jefferson complain that a great
amount of illegal fishing is being done
at both places this winter. During the
warm months the lakes are visited by
fishing enthusiasts from all parts of the
Northwest, and, naturally, the hotel
men are interested in preserving the
game. They claim that fishing permits
have been issued Unfortunately and
that the holders are violating them by
selling bass and pickerel taken from the
lakes. They further intimate that the
game wardens in this vicinity have been
somewhat derelict and hint that the Of
fcers are winking at the violations of
law. 1t is likely that the matter will
be called to the attention of Samuel +,
Fullerton, executive agent of the state
game and fish commission.

NEW FREIGHT RATES.
Schedule Presented the Railroads B,
the Commission; Arguments.

the Commission; arguments.
ST. Paul, Jan. 1.-THE state railroad
and warehouse commission yesterday
presented to the railroads the schedule
proposed as revision of the rates and
gave until Feb TO consider them. Al
that date the roads will be heard and
will have to show cause why the pro.
posed rates should not 90 into effect
The meeting was called to order yes
terday morning by Judge Ira b. Mills
chairman of the commission. He stated
that the commission had framed a maxi
mum rate schedule to govern rates on
first class freight. but before the com
mission would order it to 60 into effect
the railroads would have a chance to Of
fer objections.
The basis is supposed to cover dis
tributing tariffs from st. Paul, Mime
apolls and Duluth, and it is proposed to
allow distance tariffs between local
points per cent higher. In the tabula
ton the commission has taken the av-
erage of present distributing rates on
first class freight Oil the seven larger
roads in the state. The commission pro-
poses reduction from that average OF
S.33 cents, or IS per cent on a 50-mile
haul; 7.66, or 20 per cent, on a 100 mile
haul; sos cents, or l6 23 per cent, on a
l5O-mile haul; 3.7S cents, or per cent
on 200 miles; S.l3 cents, or IL per cent
on ESQ miles, and Cos, or 10 per cent, on
800 miles.
Marvin Hughitt, Jr.. freight traffic
manager of the Northwestern, desired
more time to stnd,e lie rates. He said
he did not believe it gave remuner.
ative rate in cases where road has tC
make a long haul to compete with q
short line which fixes the rate. He argu
ed that the long and short haul law
should be wiped off the statute books
This law prevents road from charging
a higher rate for a shorter haul than
for longer one, and he argued that il
tends to prevent competition as one road
cannot meet the competition of another
road that has shorter line between
two points of competition. He main
tanned that the proposed rates would
drive railroad competition out of the
state.
Several others talked along the same
line and the discussion drifted into the
interstate business. The meeting ther
adjourned until Feb. l, when the roads
will present testimony regarding the
rates.

CODE HAS IFS TROUBLES.
Much Delay in the Publication of the
Bio Law Book.

Still further delay threatens the print
ing and publication of the new code
whiah legislative enactment becomes the
law OF the state March l, says The St.
Paul Dispatch.
A meeting of the commission in
charge of the work was called yesterday
to consider the latest trouble and see if
the difficulty could not be bridged.
The Pioneer Press job plant has the
contract for the printing of the big
book, and because of the job printers
strike here, has been having the type
for the work set in Milwaukee in un-
ion print shop. Hearing of this the Of
ficers of the typographical union busted
themselves and the result was walk
out in the Milwaukee shop Monday
night.
Yesterday it was intimated by mem
bers of the commission that the CON
tract with The Pioneer Press job print
for the publication of the book would be
rescinded, and the Milwaukee company,
which is union concern, ordered to
90 ahead and complete it. This they
think is the only way out of the diff
ficulty.
The commission is also adverse to
clashing with the union interests, whom
they are confident can delay the book
if they set out to do it.
AS the code becomes law March l, at
torneys and others over the state are
clamoring for copy in order that they
may study its contents and be prepared
for any changes Many of the legal
fraternity contend that trouble will re-
suit if the book is not out soon.

fore one o'clock in the afternoon. Where
this is not done, the city will have it

works is to advertise for bids for this
work, letting the contract for the sea-
sons cleaning in the same manner that
other similar contracts are let.

ART EXHIBIT WILL CIRCULATE
Women Everywhere Will Be Enabled
to Gaze at Rare Works.

By means of circulating art gal
lery" on national scale, the women of
the country living in towns and vii.
lagos remote from art galleries of the
larger cities soon will be enjoying the
same privilege which their city sisters
now have
travelling art gallery has been evolved
by the art committee of the General
Federation of Women's clubs and the
first consignment of original paintings
will be started out from Chicago on Jan
49, 1t will follow closely the plan Of
travelling Libraries, and it is hoped will
result in a liberal art education to
thousands who probably rarely see
anything but photos or poor reproduc-
lions OF the works of the best artists.
The plan has been tried tentatively in
the state limits, but now the commit
tee has decided to try it on national
scale.
The pictures will be sent to the var
ious women's clubs and will be on view
a week at each place. They go first to
Binghamton, N. Y, and will wind up at
st. Paul, Mimi, on May 81, at the Min
nesota state convention of Women's
clubs. From there they will be return
ed to Chicago and new collection sent
out.

ANTI-TOXiN CURED HIM.
Hancock Man Doesn't Care to Drink
Any More Liquor.

Marquette, Mich, Jan. IA year
or more ago Hancock business man,
who had diphtheria in his family and
who had been given antitoxin to ward
off the disease, discovered that in conse-
quence of the Use of the diphtheria pre-
ventative an amazing cure had been
wrought-he had lost all desire for al
coholic stimulants and tobacco. Now
comes case of history repeating itself.
There have been some fears on account
of diphtheria at Houghton recently, and
a Houghton business man was given an
injection of antitoxin to keep him i'm
mune from the malady. This man was
one of the most inveterate smokers of
cigarettes in Houghton, but since his
anti-toxin course he no longer has a
desire for the weed in any form.

BLOODY SIX" RETURN.
Have Had Enough Experience With
the World

Four of the Bloody Six" gang OF
boys, who ran away Sunday night, have
returned, and the other two are on theil
way back, if not already in the city
Those who have returned are sorry
looking lot. Three, named Heller
Traunsberger and Zimmerman, got back
last night, and fourth, Huss, got in
yesterday. They spent their time in
the twin cities, having only some crack
ers and cheese to eat, and no place to
sleep. The first night they slept in a
box car. Timmerman's cap blew away,
and he froze both ears, his nose and
cheeks, and is now in bed. All suffer
ed sufficient hardships to cause them to
appreciate their homes. The two who
did not return up to this forenoon were
Hubner and Kohl.
Heller was the chief of the gang. He
is out of the reform school at Redwing
on parole, and deserves to be sent back
there. Zimmerman and Traunsberger
would have been home sooner had ii
not been that they got on a freight
train at st. Paul supposing it was com.
ing south, but instead it went north
and they were obliged to retrace theil
steps.
Heller has been locked up and will
be returned to Redwing
Hubmer and Kill were arrested in st
Paul on the charge of breaking into a
Milwaukee box car They We're to have
had their trial this afternoon at two
o'clock, but on the promise that the
boys fathers would sent them transpor-
tation, the case against them was dis
missed.

REQUEST REFUSED.
Street Car Company Wants Aldermen
to Extend Franchise.

One evening last week the mayor and
aldermen got together informally, all
being present except Aid. Heinze, at the
request of the Mankato Railway, Heat
and Power company. The latter com
pany was represented at the meeting by
Senator A. 0. Eberhart, NJ G. Willard,
w. d. Willard, George NJ. Palmer, c.
+. Wise and George +. Brett. Senator
Eberhart acted Us spokesman for the
company and Mayor Taylor for the city
officials
The street car company desired an
extension of time within which the car
line must be put in until Nov. LIST, and
for the heating plant until Dec. lst. 1t
was stated that the members of the
company have their money invested in
the enterprise and they do not want to
lose it. They have a contract with Mr.
Shonts of Chicago to build the car line
and heating plant, although no time
limit is placed for the putting in of
these plants. The company was willing
that the franchise of the Mankato and
st. Peter Railway and Light company
should also be extended.
The city officials stood pat upon the
agreement made last fall, that when the
franchises of the two companies are for
feited Feb. 18th an extension shall be
granted only to one.
Mayor Taylor suggested that the two
companies join and form one strong
company. Acting on this suggestion, the
members of the company suggested that
Mayor Taylor call a meeting of the two
companies, to see what could be done
toward their uniting.
The council felt that it would be far
better for only one franchise to be in
existence at time. With two fran
chises there would be less likelihood of
getting a line.
The suggestion has since been made
that it would be Il good thing to organ
ize another company of local capital
lists, to take in part of the interests of
both of the present companies, so that
neither shall lose what it has already
invested.
