STOLEN RIG FOUND
TIED IN THE WOODS

The rig belonging to James A.
Smith, which was stolen from his
barn in Mcclellan street Thursday
night, has been recovered.
The horse and runabout were
found late Saturday afternoon tied to
tree in the woods just beyond the
old Eagleswood pumping station, by
the wife of Joseph Duh Mrs. Duh,
who lives near there, was out in the
woods gathering kindling wood,
when she saw the rig. The horse
was tied and the rims of the wheels
were sunk in the ground and frozen
over. She promptly notified her hus-
band, who united the horse and
drove him into this city
While nearing State street; he met
Policeman McDermott, into whose
hands he gave the rig. The police
man took it to Liddle & Pfeiffer's
livery stables, where the horse was
fed and taken care Of
1t is the opinion of the police thai
the rig had stood tied in the woods
stolen, until found by Duh, and it
seems a miracle that the horse could
endure the cold through FRIDAY
night. 1t is believed that only the
animals very long hair saved it from
being frozen to death.
Mr.. Smith, whom the police had
notified, soon arrived at the stable
and claimed it as his rig. After feed
ing and watering the horse at the
stable, the animal rested more com
fortably and will be all right in a day
or two. No clue has as yet been
found as to the identity of the
thieves.

Slippery Coating
on Sidewalks
and Roads.
MEN ACT HORSE
Icy Wires Cause Trouble for
Trolley Crews and Condition
Of Rails PIunges Train Ser
vice Into Difficulty Black
smiths Are Busy.

Perth Amboyans awoke this morn
| ing to find the city covered with a
locating of ice and those who left their
homes found the worst conditions un-
derfoot which had occurred here for
some years.
! Every sort of sidewalk and paving
material was slippery as could be, and
sidewalk or roadway offered little
choice to pedestrians. Wagon-driv-
ers and hackmen whose horses were
not rough-shod feared to take them
out of their stables, and scores OF
drivers of express, milk and ice and
other wagons made horses of them
selves, either propelling their trucks
and wagons themselves with assist
ance, or using sleds or carrying the
articles to be delivered. A number
of milkmen carried their cans to the
places on their routes.
The trolley crews experienced difH-
Guilty, with ice on the wires, causing
the poles of the cars to continually
| slip off, causing delays. There was
some, but not great DEAL of trouble
because of the ice on the tracks.
The railroads running into this
city were handicapped to a certain
extent on account of the icy rails.
! DR.. Francis w. Kitchel, president
of the local branch of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
was energetically active from early
morning, keeping on the lookout for
drivers whose horses were not sharp
shod. He ordered one driver whose
wagon bore heavy part of boiler
and whose horsess hoofs were not
shod properly for slippery going, to
unhitch. The driver did so at High
and Smith streets and left the wagon
landing, while he led the horse away.
The blacksmith shops benefited by
the conditions and the horseshoers
were kept on the jump. Lines Of
horses were waiting in front of the
shops almost uninterruptedly.
! T''p janitors of the schools were
ar-gag the first to sprinkle ashes on
I tbs sidewalks, and many followed
their example from 1880 to o'clock
on.
Bad Falls Numerous.
Many persons and horses fell In
all parts of the city and on all parts
of their anatomy, but few serious re-
suits ensued Anyone who glanced
| to smile at the ludicrous scene af-s
forded by someone else falling was
pretty sure to be taken unawares and
! find the pavement flying up and hit
I ting him somewhere where 1t hurt.
| A number of horses sustained falls
and some were raised only with great
difficulty. Sympathetic bystanders
were quite ready to lend aid. One
scheme adopted by drivers was tying
bags around the hoofs of horses, but
that was not of much avail in pre-
venting their falling.
Men Propel Ice Wagon.
Two or three icemen and assistants
supplied the motive power for their
wagons, some pulling, others push
ing, and, although progress was nee
essarily slow, it saved the horses from
mishap. Expressmen did likewise.
They discarded their regular wagons
and propelled the large hand trucks
about town delivering packages.
The small boy got some fun out
of the conditions, and several skat-
ed to school.

Putting It Up to the Senate.

The ournal's Washington cor
respondent suggests today an interest
ing possibility in connection with the
unwillirgness of the senate to pass rail-
road regulation Of the kind favored by
the president and the house. AS already
explained in our Washington dispatches,
Senator German has undertaken to or
ganize opposition in the senate to rate
regulation, and his success thus far is
regarded as dangerous. 1t appears,
however, that there is a way to counter
act his plans. The president may send
in special message to the senate on
this subject, thus focusing the atten-
ton of the country upon that body. Or
if that fails, congress may be kept in
session all summer. The house is relied
upon to support the president in that
alternative. The senate cannot adj
journ without the consent and joint &C
ton, Of the house, and if the house real
ICES the necessity Of making a salts
factory record before the next fail
elections, it may join the president il

shoulder all the blame that is sure tt
follow failure to pass satisfactory

month or two of such treatment would
cool perceptibly the opposition Of the
senate to the administration policy. L
would certainly make every senate

COUNTY WOLF BOUNTY
PAID ON DOGS SKIN

A dog in wolf s clothing was brought
into the Hennepin county auditor g
office last Friday by John Collins of
Hamel. Mr.. Collins presented his Gre
dentials in the shape of affidavits by
himself, John Weir, town clerk of Maple
Grove, and two witnesses, that the ami
NAL was male wolf killed by Collins
in his barnyard while killing chickens.
Chief Deputy Auditor Al Erickson
took these affidavits, cast an inquiring
look at the animal on which bounty was
claimed and hesitated. He did not like
the supposed VOLTS look and called
Hunter Hazlit to the rescue. The
hunter admitted that wolf might look
like that and Collins was given his war
rant of $50.
Later the pelt was taken to the North
western Hide & Fur company and there
the skilled eye of W. J. Burnett detected
the canine tail. He told the farmer
that he was trying to sell a dog and
as such paid him twenty-five cents for
the skin. He then notified County
Auditor Hugh Scott of the mistake.
Mr.. Scott examined the lkin and pro-
nounced it dog. He today wrote a let
| ter to Mr.. Collins, advising him of what
| he believes was a mistake, and quoting
| the law making the palming off of
| other animals for wolves mlsdemeanor.
| If the money is not refunded soon there
is liable to be trouble for the farmer.

= Mr.. Marshall's Bill.

The bill of Mr.. Marshall Of North
Dakota to permit the removal from
bond free Of duty Of denaturized. alco-
hol has been referred to the ways and
means committee and ordered printed.
The Washington reports indicate that it
will be given a hearing and presumably
reported out for consideration. III e
Journal has already expressed it's
belief that this bill ought to pass, be-
cause of the immense benefits to the
country that will accrue from the use
Of free alcohol in producing power.
Another and potent reason for
favoring such measure is that
it will do more than any other
one thing to break the power of
the Standard Oil monopoly. Wherever
alcohol is free it is a. successful com
petitor of gasolene as a source Of. power
This is true in Germany. The same
| is true in Cuba, where untaxed alcohol
sells. at from - to Is cents a gallon
and is preferred to to gasolene at the
same price. Discussing this subject
recently the Nebraska State Journal
said:

MetropoIItan-"The Liberty Bellies. ;"

Opening to a scene of dormitory at
young woman's seminary, in which the
setting is something similar to that of
the Pajama Girls, with four beds occu
pied, and changing quickly to a plentiful
display of dainty white robes and a lone
suit of pink pajamas. 'The Liberty
Bellies at the Metropolitan goes thru
three acts of musical comedy that ap-
pears to give more pleasure to the per-
formers than the audience.
Turnout the entire comedy-it is well
named-the burden of the work falls on
two persons. Miss Toby Craige as Mar
gerry Lee, and William Maussey as Phil
Fuller. The former, in nnimicry and tray-
esty. is fairly good; the latter. a coma.
dian, is versatile and clever. Supporting
them are Miss Leonora Robertson as
Dorothy Grey. and Philip S. Conner as
Jack Everleigh. The first act is the best.

an excuse for their presence in such sur

to forget 1t is anything but a comedy and
prepare for the most extravagant absurd
| tiles. for they follow one another with re-
markable rapidity.
Despite the fact that the company is

than careful regard for economy. there

Depew and Hill Compared.

The sudden recovery of health on the
part of David Bennett Hill soon after
the Armstrong committee adjourned
and the haste which he made to de-
mand an investi CATION Of his Equitable
retainers by the state bar association,
show that in parting company with pol
itics Mr.. Hill did not part company
with all his shrewdness. He saw how the
other Hretainees' were being
bowled over by Mr.. Hughes and he had
no taste for that kind of personal ex-
perience. Therefore he was sick and
could not be gotten before the com
mittee but the minute it adjourned Mr..
Hill was before the bar association
with demand for an investigation.
Mr.. Hill is not unaware of the fact
that retainers sometimes look different
to lawyers from what they do to the
public. The retainer may be earned in
many ways to the satisfaction of the
lawyer when the public might take an
entirely different view of the case.
The lawyer would look only to see
whether the brother attorney had rem
dered services. The public would be
glad to know the circumstances under
which the retainer was accepted, wheth-
er there was need of services being per
formed and whether the position of the
attorney in the political world did not
have something to do with his being

From this standpoint Mr.. Hill could

his income by appearing in the courts

man, and had given little or no atten
ton to the practice of law for years
It was also a fact that the retainers
paid Mr.. Hill were slight compared
with those Depew pushed into his
pocket.
But. if Mr.. Hill, with the moral ad
vantage his case presented over that
for Depew, feared to go before the com

Superb Park Will Be Formed by
Joining Parade and Loring Park

To prevent the maintenance of liy-
cry stables and other objectionable
features in the vicinity of the Parade

park improvements in that part of the

cupied by an icehouse and number
