Sudd, nly summoned l>y the grim
reaper, Mr. Emil Mannheimer, mem- ]
bei of the firm of Mannheimer Bros.,
died at the family residence, 215 Nelson
avenue, shortly before - o'clock yester
day afternoon. Death resulted from
apoplexy. Until a brief time before he
expired Mr. Mannheimer had r.o intl
lustion of Impending death, having ap
parently enjoyed the best of health.
After lunch yesterday he experienced I
v feeling of suffocation and retired to
his room. Before an; one realized that
he was dangerously stricken Mr. Mann
neimer expired.
The news of Mr. Mannheimer's death I
was received with surprise and regret
about the establishment which he had
fui so many years assisted in success- I
fully conducting. He had been at the i
*tote Friday, seemingly in his usual
health greeting friends and acquaint
ances In his characteristic cheerful
manner, and the knowledge that he
had suddenly been cut down at the
height of a. successful business career
caused a feeling of genuine sorrow,
both among the employes at the store I
, and in business circles generally.
Mr. Mannheimer did not visit the
stoiv yesterday morning, in fact, he
had not been in the habit of coming
down town until afternoon for several
years. He arose laic and was about
t lit- house as usual until time for lunch
eon. He partook of light refreshment
shortly after 1 o'clock and afterwards
sat reading in the library. Suddenly
he felt breathing difficult and opened
a window. The oppression became
greater, however, and Mr. Mannheimer
retired to his room up stairs. Here he
removed his collar and necktie and lay
down on the bed. The attack grew I
more severe, and Mr. Mannheimer sum- j
moned the house butler, whom he dis- j
patched down stairs for medicine. The ;
butler was absent only a moment, but |
in this short time Mr. Mannheimer- had |
~ almost expired. He half rose In bed ;
when the butler returned, gasped for j
breath and sank back dead.
Emil MarJnheimer was born in Ba
varia, Germany, fifty-seven years ago.
"When he first came to this country he j
engaged in the dry goods business in
Chicago. Twenty-two years ago he
came to St. Paul, where he entered into
the dry goods business with his broth
ers, Robert Mannheimer and Jacob
Mannheimer, at No. 7 East Third street.
In ISB2 the firm erected its own building
at Third and Minnesota, where the suc
cessful business was conducted on a
larger scale, until even more commo
dious quarters were demanded, when
the firm removed to its present quar
ters, at Sixth and Robert streets, where
it has been one of the foremost retail
dry goods establishments of the Twin
Cities for the last five years.
-. The deceased was unmarried and liv
ed at the home of his brother, Robert
Mannheimer. and his sister. Mrs. Good
kind, at th«» Nelson avenue residence.
He was a man of sterling business abil
ity, unwavering integrity and highly
respected by all who knew him in a
business way, while beloved by his
_ more intimate associates for his kindly
nature and unassuming character.
Mannheimer Bros.' store will be closed
Monday ou account of the death of Mr. Emil
Mannheimer.
JOHNSON AS BONDSMAN.
]>i«l the County Auditor .Jeopardize
tlie InterestN of His County.
When County Auditor \>T R. Johnson went
on the bond of Chief Deputy Treasurer \. P.
Swanstrom, ur.der indictment for forgery and
larceny, he jeopardized the value of the se
curity bond that be himself had given (he
county in connection with the office of county
auditor. Consequently tomorrow there will be
a change among Swanstrom's bondsmen, re
sulting from the retirement of Mr. Johnson.
_ Whtn the deputy sheriff went to arrest
Swanstrom on a bench warrant, he found him
already aware that an indictment had been
returned. H<? bad, however, neglected the
opportunity to procure bondsmen in advance,
and consequently began a hustle for men to
go on his bail. Fred Hammer, private secre
tary to the mayor, was secured, and then Mr.
Johnson was approached He agreed to go
on the bond, but protested that in securing
his own bond of $^5,000 for the county he had
been bound to go on the bond of no one eIS3.
_ Finally he consented to refer the matter to
the county attorney, who said that there
would bp no objection, dtsplte the clause in
Johnson's application, and Johnson was ac
cepted as bondsman.
Yesterday the auditor was reminded that In
making application for his own bond, he had
bound himself not to guarantee any one else,
and advised to get off as soon as possible. A
prominent attorney said yesterday that it
was a questionable matter if in signing
Bwanstrom's bond the auditor had not jcop
_ ardized the county interests.
Mr. Johnson considers this rather hard, in
view of his consultation with the legal ad
risor of the county.

CAN HOLDJJARTENDER.
Decision of Interest In Regard to
Illeitnl l.i<><""" Sales.
Another municipal court decision by Judge
Orr yesterday In a measure opeDS saloons to
minors. It was held that should a bartender
sell liquor to a minor contrary to inrtruotions
from his employer, that the proprietor of the
saloon should not be punished by law. If fha
bartender who provided any minor with liquor
be arrested, however, and it be proven th^
he violated the law. then the bartender was
subject to punishment, according to the de
cision.
The decision was rendered in the case of
Peter Primeau. a West side saloonkeeper. He
wa« charged with eeillng liquor to a minor,
but it was shown that Prlmeau was In Wis
consin at the time of the »«le, and that It
had in reality been made by his bartender.
The evidence showed that Prlmeau had in
structed his bartender not to sell liquor to
mlnocj. Hed It been the bartender instead
of the proprietor who was under arrest, Judge
Orr said, sentence would have been imposed,

"gteele county is delighted, at least
a« far as the Democrats are concerned,
at the appointment of Benjamin S.

rector of the state publio school at
that place, vice C. S. Crandali, resigned.
There has been a decided controversy
as t<? which should have the position,
which has been conceded to a resident
of the county in which the school is
situate, but Owatonna itself has fur
nished two candidates, and as a result,
there has been considerable feeellng. Mr.
Cook's victory, however, is said to give
general satisfaction at his home town.
He is a veteran Democrat, as stated in
The Globe of yesterday, a retired
capitalist, with time to devote to the
work of the board, and has been an ar
dent worker n the ranks of the party.

TO KIDNEY SUFFERERS.
An Opportunity Worthy of
Your Notice.
If you suffer with kidney disease or
I any ailment arising from an improper
' action of the kidneys or urinary organs,
I this offer we make to the people of St.
j Paul should interest you. In the ad-
I vancement of medical science, the kid
! neys, being almost the organs
jof the greatest Importance to
- human health, have not been
j neglected, and in placing be
fore you such a cure as Doan's Kidney
Pills, the proprietors recognize how far
; so many statements of the makers of
'■ similar preparations have fallen short
| of their claims, being convinced that
|no remedy for kidney complaints in
j existence equals Doan's Kidney Pills
I for such ailments; strengthened In
these convictions by letters that are
I daily received of the work they are
j doing for mankind's benefit, old backs
j and young backs are being constantly
i freed from never-ceasing aches, and
many a lame and shattered one, stoop
ed and contracted, is strengthened •- -
vlgorated and infused with new lift.
With such a medicine, an offer of this
kind can be made without hesitancy,
for, while we lose the box we give to
you, we make a friend that assists us
in the sale of many others.
ONE FULL BOX
of Doan's Kidney Pills will be given
away free to every person suffering
with kidney ailments at the undersign

you will gladly devote to the work for party's

In order that we may be successful In
the next and fo-llowinfe elections, We must
maintain our organization b«twwn elections
(is Well us during oauinalgiiß— ln fact it Is
luy opinion that a political organisation that
is not koi>t iilivii between campaigns li of
little or no u«e. Therefore, it Is the Inten
tion of the management of the Democratic
city and county orgunlimlon to hold frequent
ward and precinct meetingea, of which you
will receive due notice, at which ward meet
ings instructive and entertaining orators will
speak. These meetings will also afford us an
opportunity of becoming more closely ac
quainted and cultivating the spirit of good
fellowship; »o that when the next cainpatgu
comes on we will have the advantage of know-
Ing the exact situation' and peculurlMes in
each precinct, and be able to lake timely ac
tion In the premises.
The general rr^rmah can accomplish no
thing without the earnest support of the ward
chairman and precinct commltteemen ; neither
can the ward chairman accomplish anything
without the active and loyal assistance of
the precinct commltteemen. Henca you see
that the success of this organization rests al
most entirely upon the precinct committee
men.
It might be well to state that our by-laws
provide that precinct commltteemen are to b»
given preference in the selection of judges
and clerks of election. Remember that the
founder of American Democracy, the great
Thomas Jefferson, said "Eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty," which words surely are
as significant today. In view of threatened
"Imperialism," as they were when uttered.
Also be reminded that Democracy's most vig
orous and successful defender, the redoubt
able Andrew Jackson, in his day proclaimed
and defended the doctrine "To the victor" be
longs the spoils." There is nothing in the
car^ir of this great ma.n to show that he
eve! followed a mistaken policy.
Therefore, we ne.-d not hesitate to accept
htm In tU<e practical things of party politics
aa we unreservedly accept Jefferson in the
ideal.
In case you learn of a Democrat who has
not taken hie second papers, I wish you
would immediately advise me, giving his full
name and address, in order that I may make
p. record of the same in a book to be kept by
me for that purpose.
\t we would be successful in rcstaring to
.Pfti'bHc favor the party of the unterrifled,
thereby benefiting the whole people, we
must sink all feuds, personal and factional
differences, omitting all reference to past dif
ferences, and without hesitancy support the
party's candidate In every instance. Party
fealty means nothing If not that a party man
must vote his party ticket. If,therefore,one be
a party man he is morally bound to support
and further his parly organization.
As you are probably aware, this organlza-_
tion will give its first annual banquet at the
Ryan hotel on Tuesday, Feb. 14. I under
stand that it Is the Intention of the commit
tee on banquets to arrange the tables by
wards, giving preference according to the
number of tickets taken by* each ward, and
I sincerely hope that the Sixth ward will be
represented.
If we are faithful to the new organization,
ther? can be no doubt that out of the chaos
caused by successive eneck, defeat, rout and
disaster will emerge a Democratic party
"stronger than ever," and to this end it is
that I exhort you to take and h*lp.
THE LINCOLN CLUB OBSERVES
NATAL DAY OF THE MARTYRED
PRESIDENT HONORED IN
ADVANCE
Local Republican Organisation Bnn
g«H» at the Windsor With Ora
tory by Congressman Earb, Col.
Harriflon Allen, i'.iiMlix and Bede.
The annual banquet of the Lincoln
Republican club, held last evening at
the Windsor, was short two speakers.
Mayor Kiefer sent regrets and Judge
Loren W. Collins, who was to have
spoken on "Why I Am a Republican,"
stayed at home in St. Cloud. There
was sufficient oratory, nowever, to pro
long the affair until long after mid
night.
Three hundred covers had been laid
In the great Windsor dining room,
which was elaborately decorated for
the occasion with bunting and flags,
with a huge picture of Lincoln form
ing a centerpiece. Long before 8
o'clock, the hour set for the banquet,
the guests commenced to congregate
in the lobby of the hotel and there
they were kept waiting until nearly 10
o'clock, when the doors of the dining
room were finally thrown open ■ and
the hungry Republicans poured In to
find seats at the long tables.
The menu was prefaced with a
prayer by the Rev. A. B. Meldrum,
and then by the time everyone was
ready for the speeches it was nearly
I midnight. During the banquet an or-
I chestra played patriotic airs, and fol
lowing the Roman punch the guests
sang "A Hot Time," interspersed with
warwhoops.
Finally President J. R. Blackwell
succeeded in obtaining a temporary
silence with the announcement "We
are all gentlemen."
"If I am disturbing anyone here I
will stop talking," he said.
John F. George, who officiated as
toastmaster, followed by introducing
Congressman John J. Esch of La
Crosse, Wis., who spoke on "Lincoln."
He prefaced his address by remarking
on the disreputability of the thermom
eter by reason of its low standing and
then> told the story of the life of Lin
coln.
William H. Eustls told of "The
Drama of 1898 and Its Lesson," and
Gen. Harrison Allen, of Fargo, N. D.,
talked about Republicanism. J. Adam
Bede responded to "The Constitution,
How It Grows," and his was the last
address of the evening.

INFORMATION
Furnished Trio Learned Maidens in
a DazzliitK «ny.
From the New York Evening Sun.
It was at the concert the other afternoon,
and they were two school girls so brrmful
of the desire to show eff ali they knew about
music that the mere pleasure in music of
her who sat back of' them suffered seriously.
They rattled off terms aßd they discussed
tempo and they criticised the performers.
They talked learnedly! of scherzos and of
Schumann, of motifs and of modern music.
There was apparently nothing in heaven
above or the earth beneath ot the waters un
der the earth with whicto thpy were not con
versant — so far as music went. But after
awhile the pianist, in -response to a perfect
pandemonium of applause — his hair was long
and the audience was made up largely of
women— played an encore. : "I wonder what
that was?" said one of the two school girls,
unguardedly. The woman sitting back of
them heard it. She realized her opportunity.
"Pardon me." she said, leaning forward and
addressing the girls; "but I heard you say
you didn'b recognize the encore. It's a little
thing by Rubaiyat, the presto papanti move
ment in h's-34 Koncnairto in X flat minor
opus 133. Revised and flpg=red by Izcatzewati,
pupil of Popocatapetl, you know."

Edward B. Graves filed his first re
port yesterday as receiver of the
North American Savings Loan and
Building company, with the liabilities
estimated at 40 per cent in excess of
the available assets. The company's
books show that the liabilities exceed
the assets by $10,434, and this Mr.
Graves shows to be grossly inaccurate.
The property owned by the company
is scattered all over the country and
the receiver has been at considerable
pains to have each piece of real prop
erty valued. The result is far below
the return made by the company. The
whole lot of real property originally
cost under the revised figures $158,
--190.28.
Following is the comparison given of
the showing made by the receiver and
the company:

DEATHS OF A DAY.
WINONA, Minn., Feb. 11.— (Special.)— H. 0.
Bolcom, a representative citixen of Winona
and a veteran of the war of the rebellion, In
which he held a commission as quartermaster,
died at his home in this city last evening. He
was 66 years of age, and was actively lde iti
fled with the interests of Winona, being at
the time of his death general manager and a
large stockholder in the Winona Gas com
pany.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.— Gen. Edmund
Schriver, a graduate of the military academy
of the class of 1833, and one of the oldest offi
cers in the army, died here last night from a
complication of diseases, incident to old age.
Gen. Schriver was a native of Pennsylvania,
and was appointed a cadet at the military
academy in July, 1829. He served in the Flor
ida Indian war. In 1846 he resigned his army
commission to become president of the
Rensselaer & Saratoga railroad. He served
throughout the Civil war, mostly with the

at Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and other bat
tlefields. He rose to the rank of colonel with

of pure bred horses in the world, died at
Mercy hospital today from a complication of
diseases. It was thirty years ago that Mr.
Dunham began with the importation of
Percheron horses from France. His opera
tions aB a breeder and importer assumed gi
gantic proportions. He subsequently took up
the importation of the French coach horse
and collected In France a lot of mares and
stallions, that, as a whole, is conceded to be
superior to any similar collection In France.
He won with' his horses more champion
prizes in the show ring than any other breed
er has ever won in the history of the show
yard in America. Mr. Dunham was born in
1842.

died yesterday at his home. His funeral
will take place today. Capt. Bryant was
born in Newburyport, Mass., fifty-three years
ago.
SUDDEN SURPRISE
That Caused a Second Lieutenant to
Mysteriously Disappear.
From Leslie's Weekly.
A young second lieutenant, who had
been graduated from the first class a
couple of months before the regular
graduation at West Point, had just
Joined his regiment and was walking
down the streets near the palace. He
stopped on the corner, and as he did
so an old grizzled soldier with a
growth of beard on, his face and with
cavalry sergeant's stripe on his breech
es, a blue shirt and campaign hat. but
with no other mark of rank about his
uniform except his sergeant's stripe,
walked slowly down and stopped in
front of the lieutenant, looking around
at the different buildings. The young
officer fidgeted a few moments under
the manner in which the trooper ig
nored his proximity, and finally turned
on him and said, sharply: <f Here, you
man, did any one teach you how to
salute?"
"Yes, sir." drawled the trooper, as
he glanced at the youngster.
"Well, knock your heels together,"
said the young officer, and the trooper
came to attention with the precision of
an old soldier.
"Now salute," he said, and the troop
er's gauntlet came to the rim of his
hat and stayed there until the young
lieutenant answered it, at the same
time demanding: "Now remember this,
and don't let it happen again. What
is your name, and what do you belong
Without relaxing his position from
attention the old trooper again re
spectfully saluted, and remarked dry
ly "My name is Samuel Sumner, and
I'm brigadier general of the cavalry
brigade" whereupon the young lieu
tenant proceeded to fopy as many col
ors of the rainbow with his face as was
nossible, and slipped away as soon as
he dared, forgetting even to apologize.
