The somewhat sensational case of Kaufman
The somewhat sensational case of Kaufman
fe Yezher, the Ely merchants, who are accused
of having purchased some $12,000 of goods
from various creditors and then reconsigned
them "to* other places, with a view to avoiding
payment, is almost closed, and in a few days
Receiver L. W. French, who, for the past few
months, has been hard at work recovering
the stuff, will dispose of the bulk of it which
is already in his possession. The affair, which
has certain ugly features, has been aired from
time to- time in the papers, but not until yes
terday could any definite news be learned as
to the details. _'__ ,_.-. yA. '-"I
It will be remembered that last fall, the
above-named firm of Jewish merchants, who
have been in business in Ely arid "Virginia.
on the Iron range since May, 1893, purchased
frcm houses in St.'Paol, Minneapolis, Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Louis goods to the amount
of about $12,000. ■.■_:.- .A A -
Much of this stuff was never taken from the
freight depots, but was reshlpped to parties
mostly. living in St. Paul, who in many cases
reconsigned it to other towns in this state.
A bill of sale transferring some $1,800 worth of
stuff from a member of the firm to a relative
made some of the creditors suspicious that all
was not right, and an Investigation showed
that the stock had been shipped to West
Superior:
Several of the creditors got together, ap
plied for a receiver, and agreed to go to the
bottom, .of the matter. In November the dis
trict court of St. Louis county named L. W.
French, *of Kellogg, Johnson & Co., of this
city, receiver, and he straightway set about
unearthing the fraud. The debtors were at
once arrested and two indictments were re
turned by the Ramsey county grand jury, but
owing to lack of witnesses the cases wore
dismissed, and the partners are still at liber
ty. Mr. French without delay took posses
sion of about $2,000 of stock in the store at
Ely, and after it was invoiced it was sold
by order of the court. The stock which had
been sent to West Superior was seized under
attachment process by G. Sommers, of this
city, who roughly appraised the value at
$2,000. These two stocks recovered still left
about $8,000 worth of goods to account for.
It was with difficulty that a start was made.
The debtors professed not to know anything
about the stuff, but Mr. French enlisted the
services of several operatives, and after a
little work the cases and trunks began to
bob up. It was thought at first that the

In some eases the merchandise was turned
over voluntarily to the receiver, while in
other instances it was stored with parties who
are possibly innocent of any attempt at wrong
doing. At all events, when a Globe report
er called on Receiver French yesterday that
gentleman pointed to a number of long tables
lri the old Kuhl-Cumming building on East
Fourth street, on which was stuff of all kinds
and sorts, which an invoice foots up as being
valued at abouj. $7,000. It consists of under
wear, boots and 'shoes, notions, rubber goods,
clothing and furnishings, which will be dis
posed of in a few days at a sale held.accordi
ng to law, when the proceeds will be pro
rated among the creditors. V. 'A\sl. •?

GARLANDS AND POESIES.
Through Them Conp-eaiimen Expect
Ato Reach the Farmers.
If the gardens of -rural - America "blossom
like the rose," or rather, like the pansy and
the sweet pea, this year, lt ! will be because
St. Paul has proved its claim as the center of
the banana belt. Secretary Morton has been
forced to assist -the honor-sick congressmen in
wooing the reluctant constituent with embryo
garlands and ' Immature posies. . The congres
sional language of flowers was construed In
to an imperative order that the secretary of
agriculture purchase 'for free distribution
1,000,000 packets of flower seed, and the pur
chase has been made of L. L. May & Co., of
this city. Up to 1895 the annual resolution of
congress ,called upon the secretary to expend
a specified sum in buying "new and rare va
rieties" of. flower seeds, which, at the request
of congressmen, could he cent » to voters.
When the voter chased the chickens out of
the nasturtium -bed,- he would* remember that
this opportunity for wholesome exercise, with
an aesthetic* purpose, had been accorded him
by the tender solicitude of Hon.. Jonas Green,
M. C. As the fall election drew nigh' the
stems of the congressional pansy would tickle
the gentle bosom of the farmer's budding
daughter, curve her cherry life Into the fond
est of fond smiles, and convince her father
that the purveyor of pansies was indeed a
prince of politics. Thus was the* annual flower
seed distribution justly, deemed one of the
most effective and diplomatic ' wires to be
pulled by the ambitious, congressman. But
last year Secretary Morton, with the vulgar
directness of an honest man, decided that the
$140,000 spent for buying 10,000,000 packets of
flower and garden seed and for assorting and
shipping them was a useless outlay. The
seeds were usually of the common varieties.
and no longer -.served to disseminate, choice
and * rare*; flowers, - as had 'teeen intended when
tho custom ■".'was**' Inaugurated during war
times. Then seed houses were few and far
between.- The secretary received no bids for
supplying "new and rare varieties" of seed.
He therefore rejected the bids and sent out
no seeds whatever. But the present congress
saw that a most impolitic move ,had been
made. No farmer whose eldest son was forced
*6 wear dandelions as a boutonniere at the
surprise party, whose daughter pinned sunflow
ers at her belt.could doubt that the congressman
from his district had become hopelessly wrong
on the currency question, and entertained dan-
gerous views as to the ts.rifT. At once the
secretary of agriculture was commanded to
buy flower .. seeds .ox be - impeached. That no
obstacle might permit an evasion of the
command, the words "new and rare varieties"
were stricken out of the resolution.
The sum appropriated for buying flower and
garden seeds was $150,000. Secretary Morton,
as published In the telegraphic columns of the
Globe yesterday, has Just * awarded the
contract for 9,000,000 packets of vegetable seeds
to D. Landreth Sons, of Philadelphia. The
value of the contract Is $65,000. May & Co.
will receive half a cent a packet, or $5,000
altogether, for furnishing the 1,000,000 packets
of flower seeds. Thus the usual number of
10,000,000 packets of seeds have been secured
by the government this year, for $70,000," or
just half what it cost in 1893. The difference
is due to the provision enforced by the pres
ent secretary that the seeds be packed and
labeled by the firms supplying them. Here
tofore the seeds were sent to Washington In
bulk and packed there by government em
ployes. Thus the -contractors were in a po
sition to send many pounds of worthless seeds.
The packets as received by the farmers did
rot bear the name of the contractor, and a fail-
ure of the seeds to give. satisfaction could not
endanger the contractor's reputation. This
year, however, each packet of seeds bears a
firm name, and must therefore contain only
seeds of the best quality. At least half of the
seeds furnished by May & Co. were imported
by them from Germany. The remainder were
grown by special arrangement for the firm in
different parts of the United States; especially
in California. May & Co. furnish seeds to cer-
tain persons and pay these persons for all
the seeds gathered from that season's flower
crop. The government contract will include
about 100 varieties of flowers, of which about
thirty aro new varieties grown in Germany.
Among the varieties are none of the more
expensive. There are Included, however, all
the favorite garden ' flowers that are usually
grown from seed, such as pansies, sweet peas,
China pinks, carnations, nasturtiums, bache-
lor buttons, calendulas, and the like. May &
Co. say that they have as an extensive a stock
of flower -seeds as any florist in the United
States, and were thus enabled to put in a bid
at unusually low prices.

mittee on School*.
The most important matter brought tip 'at
yesterday's meeting of the board of school
inspectors was the reading of an opinion
from City Attorney Darragh on the free teil
book laws. Mr. Darragh holds that the
books should be acquired under the state
text book law of 1893, rather than under
the local school laws of 1891 for St. Paul.
Under the 1891 law, the books would be ad
vertised for as are other supplies. The law
of 1893, however, provides specifically for the
acquirement of free text books under the su
pervision of the state department of public
instruction. The - latter will probably bo
followed, therefore, and Inspector McNalr
will call a meeting of the free text book com
mittee to be held within a day or two.
The election of a secretary was not brought
up. A. E. Kuester filed a written appli
cation for the position; making one new can
didate in the field. . . ,
Supt. Gilbert reported an average attend
ance for March of 17,251, an increase over that
of March, 1895, of 1,145, a greater increase
in proportion than that marked in the en
rollment, .which was 19,197, only 1,125 great
er than for March, 1895.
The request of the W. C. T. U. that beer ,
mugs and beer bottles be not used in still
life studies in the drawing classes, was placed
on file. The board did not share in the \
belief of the protestants that the articles
were necessarily harmful or suggestive of in
temperance. '■" -'"••■ '
The bill of the arbitrators in the Justus

speaker of reputation, and that the president
of -the • board, the principal: of said school ''and
the superintendent of schools be appointed a
special- committee with power to provide such

We recommend that the Tilden school "be

The report announced the death of Miss
Esther A. Hall, a bright and promising young

dition that the committee shall advance the
money necessary for changes to the real es
tate committee, and shall keep the buildings

CHICKENS AND DUCKS.
Fanciers of Both Meet, Elect Officers
and Discuss Poultry.
The Minnesota Poultry association held' its
eleventh annual meeting last night at the
Hotel Ryan. About half of the sixty mem
bers were present. The respective duties of
chairman and recorder were performed by
President F. W. Smith and Secretary J. H'
Prior, both of Minneapolis. After deciding to
hold the next annual poultry show in this
city during January, 1897, the association
elected officers as follows: President, Leslie
Parlin, of St. Paul; vice president, William
Schultz, of St. Paul; secretary, George Sher
man, of Minneapolis; treasurer, B. S. Grif
fin, of St. Paul; directors, C. E. Luce, of
Owatonna; J. G. . Osmundson, of Nerstrand;
Ed Lynch, of St. Paul; Frank Benner, of
Minneapolis. ■
The Judges at the annual show will be
Sharp Butterfleld, of Wndsor, Ont., and G. D.
Holden, of Owatonna. J. H. Haynes, Phillip
W. Schweitzer and F. A. Nienhause, of St.
Paul, were appointed as a press committee
to assist the secretary in advertising the
work of the association before and during
the annual poultry show.
It was resolved to make the entry fee for
pens at the show $1.25 each, or 25 cents each
for the five birds in the pen. This is 75
cents less than the old charge, but birds in
a pen can no longer compete as single birds.
The afternoon session having been dis
pensed with owing to the inclement weather,
no papers were read at yesterday's meeting.
The reports of the officers Indicated that the
association was flourishing, a fact still fur
ther attested by the addition of about thirty
names to the secretary's roll. This increases ,
the membership 50 per cent.

The Richardson Case Nearly Ready
The Richardson Case Nearly Ready
for the Jury.
The Richardson case will go to the Jury to
day. Judge Willis held an evening session of
court last night so as to have the case dis
posed of before tomorrow.
The taking of testimony for the prosecution
was concluded yesterday afternoon. R. C.
Nagel, of the firm of Nagel & Co., which
paid the money to ; the Snow-Church com
pany for the La Belle Wagon Works, testi
fied to the payment. J. R. Donahue, Louis E.
Kelly, W. H. Schulze and Nellie A. Whelon,
a clerk in the office of the Snow-Church
company, were also called. George "W. Buf
flngton, attorney for the assignee of the La
Belle Wagon works, was the last witness for
the state. Mr. Bufflngton testified to the
efforts he made to get a settlement out of
the Snow-Church company before the matter
was called to the attention of the grand Jury.
Mr. Durment, for the defense, asked If he
had not immediately before the beginning
of the trial attempted to induce the {defend
ant to settle by promising him the protec
tion of his clients. Mr. Bufflngton had pre
viously admitted that he had made efforts
to secure I a settlement from Richardson, but
the court concluded, -on the objection of
County - Attorney Butler, that the inquiry
was being carried too far, and shut.it off.
The defense had but little testimony to
offer, the only witness called being the de
fendant, and most of what it was attempted
to prove by him was . ruled out.

THE RIVER MAKES A NEW MARK.
It Was a Foot Lower Than Any Pre-
* vious Record, Indian Lore' Not
Excepted.
P. F. Lyons, in charge of the United States
Weather Bureau, St Paul, has tho following
to say about the weather during March:
"The month of March just ended was nearly
three and a half degrees cooler than normal,
and the precipitation (rain and melted snow)
was more than twice the normal. . It is
fortunate j that it was so, for it* is the first
month since last September to make -such a
.record,, all of the rest since . being decidedly
deficient in moisture. The effect was most
deplorably commencing to show. itself on the
lakes and rivers. % J -.
"The normal temperature for March, . and
for this vicinity, is. 28.3 degrees; the mean
last month was 25 degrees; the highest and
lowest was 58 above , and 8 below zero, re
gistered on the 30th and 31st, respectively.. The
normal precipitation (rain and melted snow)
is 1.39 inches; 2.93 inches fell last month, mak
ing not only a monthly excess of 1.54, but
overcoming the deficiency that was accumu
lating since the first of . the year, so -as to
show an excess since then of 1.05 inches. The
bulk of the precipitation fell on the last four
days of the month, when it amounted to 2.41
inches. .The snow that fell at the close of the
month would, if unmelted, average about 7.5
inches. . About a foot of snow fell in the whole
month. - There were seven clear, fifteen fair
and nine cloudy days, and ten days on which
.01 of an inch or mere of precipitation fell.
The prevailing wind came from northwest
The highest velocity was northwest thirty
eight miles an hour, registered for 5 minutes
on the 21st Total wind movement, -6,937
miles.
"The ice that had accumulated in the Miss
issippi river here either melted or floated
out by the 9th of last month. That is a
date rather early for the opening of the river,
and especially since the stage of the water
was so remarkably low, and the weather
cooler than usual. When the river gauge
used by the weather bureau was put in in
1872, its zero, or lower end, was set to cor
respond with the lowest stage of water pre
viously recorded, and it was stated to be in
1864. There were some who expressed doubts
as to ; its correctness, and thought that the
Mississippi river at St. Paul was never as
low as that. There is no doubt, however,
but what it was considerably lower last
month, for, after the ice melted, the water
was two-tenths of a foot below the zero of the
gauge, and it did not rise above it until
the 28th. On the 19th and 20th it registered
0.9 of a foot below zero of gauge, or nearly
a foot lower than any previous record, 'In
dian lore' not excepted.
"Another noteworthy thing about the river
was the thinness of the ice in it as compared
with other bodies of water, and also other
years. It has been stated heretofore that tho
ice either melted or floated out. Well, the
fact is that it mo-' * melted, for really there
was hardly sufSc:-. t volume of water to give
sufficient current to -.fleet it seriously, and it
opened and remained so, when in former
years, with a stag- several feet higher, and
a volume of water and current much larger
and stronger, it would not only remain froz
en, but would quickly freeze if open. Its
conduct this winter must be due to the fact
that the water in : it was supplied entirely
, by springs, as well as 'sewers," and hence was
sufficiently warm not only* to melt the Ice, but
to overcome the temperatures that would
readily freeze if there were ten instead of
about one foot of water in it."
Local Forecaster Lyons, discovered by a
Globe reporter yesterday, was glancing first
at a tranquil wood cut entitled, "Evening On
the Bay of Naples," and then at an official re
port wherein the figures controverted each
other with mathematical accuracy. Thus
alternately calmed by the pictorial
meteorology, and distressed by his assistant's
calculations, Mr. Lyons could be excused for
asserting that, as far as he could determine,
the latest weather indications presaged either
an earthquake or a cyclone.
"Both of "em," he said, "are rather unusual
at this season of the year in St. Paul, but
we've had everything else, and our depart
ment is making a speciality of Easter week
novelties in climatic excitement."
Mr. Lyons explained that the most snow had
fallen, during the preceding 24 hours, in
Eastern Minnesota, and that locally the snow
fall had been the heaviest of the winter. It
would have amounted to seven or eight inches
on the level had none of it melted. The snow
and sleet storm had prevailed throughout the
Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Mr. Lyons
had received no thunder reports, nor did he
keep any lightning records, ; so he was quite
unable to say whether the electrical symptoms
in Tuesday's weather had been observed out
side of the Twin Cities. The storm center was
mcving to the east, and was then in the lake
region. •?..;.
"Early tomorrow morning," said Mr.
Lyons, "the minimum temperature of this
cold spell will be reached here, and the
mercury may go down as far as 16 above zero—
a few degrees colder than it was this morning.
Tomorrow will be fair to clear, and the air
will gradually warm up."
The fall of snow proved sufficiently heavy
ln St Paul to bring good sleighing back once
more, and yesterday the Jingle of midwinter
bells was heard on every avenue and street
Flurries of snow alternated with brilliant sun
shine, and the first day of the new month ex
hibited a frozen panorama of April showers.
About Ready for the Change.
Preparations are being diligently made for
the time change to be inaugurated on the
Great Northern on Sunday, and the attaches
in the time schedule department are being
fairly driven to desperation with an intermin
able mass of figures and stations. The di
vision superintendents have been duly con
sulted and the worst of the detail work is at
an end. It is announced that with the
change will be resumed the buffet library car
service, which was in effect last summer.
