LAST CAMPAIGN COST
DEMOCRATS 100000

WASHINGTON, July 16.-That the
Democratic national campaign Of 1908
cost less than $1,000,000, and prob
ably somewhere in the neighborhood
OF 100000 or 100000, was the opin-
ion of August Belmont, on the stand
before the investigating committee to-
day.
Belmont said, In answer to Ques-
tions by Senator Clapp. that he could
not remember any contributors who
gave $4,000 or more to the campaign
fund Morton F. Plant had give1
81, 500 at his request. He had Iii
duced others OF his friends to sub
scribe, but did not remember the
amount. He mentioned Auerbach,
Friedman nand Delancey Nicoll as
among these.
The committee Is making energetic
efforts to locate Mr.. Hall, who was
assistant treasurer In the 1904 cam
paign. Belmont said he knew Mr..
Hall slightly at that time, but mad
neither seen or heard of him since
1904. Belmont said, that at Chair
man Taggart's request, he was treas
urer of the committee between cam
paigns. In March, 1906, he received
a treasury balance of $447. He dis
bursed $23 and delivered the remain
der in January, 1908, to w. A. II.

ATTACKED BY A BULL

Andrew Backer, one of the promi-
nent farmers of the town of Milford
Brown county, narrowly escaped Sc
rious injury and probable death short
ly before ten o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, when he was attacked and pain
fully injured by his four-year-old
Guernsey bull.
Mr. Backer was leading the ami.
NAL to water by the ordinary device
used for this purpose, when the bull
suddenly became Infatuated and at
tackled him. This occurred in the
immediate vicinity of the milk house
on the Backer farm and Mr.. Backer
succeeded in reaching the door in
the building, but was unable to open
it, and he was pushed through the
door, falling down two concrete steps
inside onto the cement floor The
bull had gored him in the stomach
but fortunately the animal was de.
horned and therefore could not in
fiict any external wounds.
The bull did not follow Mr.. Backer
into the milk house and he was able
to get up from the floor and go to
the house with the assistance OF
members of his family, who heard
the commotion and FASTENED to his
side. He was injured somewhat in.
ternally but no ribs were fractured
and his back was severely wrenched
by his fall down the steps and onto
the floor of the milk house. A physi
clan was Immediately summoned and
administered treatment, and Mr.
Backer is again able to be up, al
though he still has some pain.

From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The death of Rev. A. 2. Frost at
the home of his son, w. w. Frost,
312 Clark street, yesterday, marks
the passing of one of the pioneer
missionaries of Minnesota. At the
time of his death he lacked only
nine days Of completing seventy-flve
years. He was the father of Pro
lessor w. w. Frost of the Mankato
state normal school, and of Miss
Adelaide G. Frost, who has been for
many years missionary in India.
His entire family was with him at
his bedside and he was in full pos
session of his mental faculties to the
last. His death was peculiarly tri-
umphant.
Rev. Frost was born in Athens
county, Ohio, June %, 1887, and came
to Minnesota with his young wife in
1861, settling at Maine Prairie, in
Stearns county. He was one of the
first evangelists of the Christian
church in this state and for seven
years served with his associate, T.,
T. Vandololi. 1t was in the early
sixties that he started the struggles
of the pioneers, for he loved the min
istry. The remainder of his life was
spent as pastor, serving the
churches at Pleasant Grove, Concord
and Redwood Falls. Later he became
pastor of parishes at Athens, Mel
sonville, Ulrichville, Chardon and
Hiram, Ohio. He also preached for
several years at Aspen and Love
land, Colo.
Rev. Frost had large circle Of
friends and admirers, which circle
was not bounded by any state in the
Union, or any country. His CORE
spondence with these friends EN-
baced every continent of the world
and many islands of the seas. 1t
was rich, full life that quietly
went away from this tarrying place
"to the front where he would be-"
Rev. G.. B. Osgood of the Christian
church and Rev. A. ID. Harrison of
st. Paul will conduct the funeral
services which will be held at the
residence tomorrow. Professor Frost
will accompany the remains of his
father to Hiram, Ohio, for inter
ment. Honorable F. W. Eddy of st.
Paul and Mr.. and Mrs. e. l.. King
and other out of town guests will be
present at the funeral.

of making the fire protection efficient
is to get fire engine. If the expense
of laying large water mains were
not SO great, that would be better,
but il would be tremendous ex-
er size to keep the pressure up.
An engine would be the cheapest
and easiest method of improving the
fire fighting equipment. In addition
the city should provide itself with
towers.
F. NJ. Currier of Rosenberger and
Currier says that the city should
have sufficient apparatus to cope
with any fire which might occur. The
burning of the old Odd Fellows
block, the Richards building and the
malt house has proved that our
present fire protection is practically
worthless. 1t is poor economy to
continue with the apparatus now in
use and equipment sufficient to pro-
tect the largest building in the city
should be provided.
Chief of the Fire Department John
LulsdOrff stated today that the first
move toward the securing of better
fire fighting apparatus has been made
at the suggestion of the commission
ers. He is now getting out spec
ifications for double tank chemical
and hose wagon, motor driven. The
purchase of this piece of machinery
would lead the way to the buying
of other needed apparatus.
The chief stated that a number Of
