BABY'S DEATH A MYSTERY
SALVATION ARMY OFFICERS CAN

infant whose body, wrapped in one of
the blankets from the rescue home in
St. Paul, was found in Lake Oklahoma,
Mobiles county. Ensign Miller, who
passes on Minneapolis applicants for
admission to the home, said today that
he was not in a position to give infor-
nation on the mystery.

maternity, room,' and show that it
came from the home, y said Adiutant
Earle, the matron in charge, today, t" but
we have. located all the boy babies
born in the home since April /, and
they are all alive. AS the. baby drowned
in Lake Okabena was not more than
two months old, this proves conclusive
~ that it was not born in the home.
While that blanket evidently came
from the home, it is certain that it was
not provided for this baby. I have no
idea how it could have come into the
possession Of the unnatural parent of
the murdered infant
The condition Of the, corpse when
found indicates that the child died Of
starvation and was thrown into the
lake for concealnent. Several Minneap-
oils and one Chicago paper were found
with the body and on this clue the au-
thorities are looking for the parents in
Minneapolis. The people Of Worthing-
ton, near which the body was found,
are inclined to disregard this theory
as the daily papers are carried to all
parts of the state. The general opinion
is that the mother lives in that neigh
borhood and left the child at some ex-
posed place, expecting that it would be
found and cared for and re-
turning to find it dead Of starvation,
became frightened and threw the body
into the lake. :.

MORE MONEY FOR
HENNEPIN COUNTY
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PRE-
PARE FOR GREATER NEEDS.
Total Necessary Expenditures for 1907
Placed at s513,424, or ,$31,962 More
Than the Figures for 1906 Scott Els
Inmates the Revenues of the County.

Hennepin county expects to have
$31 ,962.72 more to spend in 1907 than
was appropriated in 1906. The board Of
county commissioners today fixed the
amount Of the county's expenses for the
coming year at $5l3 ,424 and levied that
amount upon the taxable property Of
the county. The amount was fixed after
long debate and is based upon figures
prepared by County Auditor Hugh R..
Scott.
The chief increase comes in the road
and bridge fund appropriation, which
was raised from. $50,495, the 1906 fig
ures, to $4,000. for next year. The
extra appropriation has been made
necessary by the exceptionally high
water In the creeks and bitches this
year. Miles Of road and many bridges
have been washed out or ruined, and
County Surveyor W.zE- StooPes, asked
FOR an appropriation Of 100000, and
showed how that amount would be
lower per mile Of road than either the
Ramsey or the st. Louis county appro-
priation. The board compromised by
making an $50, 900 appropriation -
There, will be no election expenses in
the comm gyear and the $4,000 spent
for that purpose this year has been dis
tributed among the other funds where
growth or changes have made more
money necessary. 49,. . t.

the publication has taken another

The statement has not only stirred

TAX KICKERS ARE FEWER
ONLY HALF A DOZEN MEN APP
PEAR BEFORE BOARD WITH
COMPLAINTS OF oVER-AssEss-
MENT.

Interest in the city board of equaliza-
ton appears to be waning. Only five
or six applications for reduction or
abatement were received today, and
only two were argued in person. Among
these was protest by Jonas Guilford
against an assessment of $4,000 for
credits, increasing his total personal
property 8 valuation to $2S,620. Mr..
Guilford is i'll, but was represented by
his son, who declared that his father
had as an offset debt of $4,000 on q
note, which should be deducted; The
valuation returned amounted to 1920,
and this was declared to be just one.
The matter was taken under advise
ment.
Preston King, on behalf of the
Northern Warehouse. company, asked
for a revaluation Of its property at
First street and Hennepin avenue. The
company had paid $57 900 for the prop
erty and it was assessed at 700. The
complaint will be investigated.
The Crescent Oil company asked to
have the assessment on personal prop
erty reduced from $500 to 5000. E..
G. Cooke was not satisfied with the
deputy assessor 5 work in raising the
assessment from $1,S65, which Mr..
Cooke thought was ample, to 1926,
which he said today was excessive. The
application with others was taken I'M
der advisement.
