Mrs. E. M. Hill, of Bergen
Street, Brooklyn, New York,
says of Warner's Safe Cure:
64 My father and husband were
both physicians, but I suffered
for years. It would be impos
sible for me to describe my
troubles in detail, but I believe
all women can understand."
"1 have been restored and I
wish the whole world could hear
me proclaim the good tidings of
what Warner's Safe Cure has
done for me. God bless the
makers of Warner's Safe Cure."

WAS TO BE HIS TOMB
RICHARD CAREY SKEKj SUICIDE]
IN A CAVERN IN THE RIVER
BLUFF
HE TOOK SULPHURIC ACID
But in the Agony Which Followed
He Crawled From the (uv« to
the Railroad Tracks, and His
Groans Were Heard by People on
Wabasha Street Bridge—ls Taken
to the Hospital.
Friendless old age caused Richard
Carey, a resident of this city for thirty
six years, to attempt to end his life last
evening in a gloomy cave under the
bluff under the Wabasha street bridge.
Carey swallowed a mouthful of sul
phuric acid In the cavern he had se
lected as his tomb, but the poison tor
tured him so that he crawled out to the
railroad tracks, where his groans wera
heard by people on the bridge.
Among those who leaned over the rail
ing was Percy Calton, living at 44
Delos street. Thinking some one had
fallen over the bluff he ran down Second
street until he found a descent and went
to Carey's assistance. The old man said
,hj9 had taken-poison and wanted to dla,
as he was friendless and without money:
■or employment. He said he had grown
lonesome and tired of life. Young Cal
ton notified Officer Twohy of Carey's
condition. The patrol wagon was sum
moned and took the wmild-ba suicide to
the city hospital. In the cave was found
a bottle still containing a quantity" of
sulphuric acid.
At the hospital It was said Carey was
severely burned about the mouth, but
would probably recover as ft appeared
that the acid he drank had been diluted.
The old rhati says he formerly boarded
at the home of a Mrs., Burke. 255 West
Seventh street; but has no relatives here.
He is seventyr'one years of age. He sayiT
he worked as fireman at the city ho»
--pital two years ago.

Klefer. Mr. D!x will fill the vacancy
on the board caused by the resignation

of Assemblyman Dix this provision Is
complied with.
Committee on Streets.
The assembly committee on streets will
meet this afternoon at 4 o'clock. The
principal business to come before the
committee is the ordinance giving the
street railway company the right to use
Cedar street between Seventh and Eighth
streets for a single track in order to make

Hartsough Meetings.
The Hartsough meetings at Plymouth
church will continue through the week
each evening except Satuday. Last even
ing Mr. Hartsough spoke of "Going Away
From Christ; to Whom Shall We Go."
The harshest criticism that can be mad«
upon the old world Is that It killed the

OFFICE BUILDINGS A OKJi
" ER.VL RANSACKING
GOT LITTLE EXCEPT STAMPS
All the Oflleen on Five Floors of the
(.illlllaii Block Were Entered—
The BlerchHit , National - ( Basic
Building Received a Call, Also
the tin mo ii Office* la Newspaper
Police Mystified. .".'-'•V^'-
No burglar that has operated in St.
Paul for several years ever showed more
conscientious, application to business than
the one who appears to have put in most
of the time" between Saturday night'and
yesterday morning ;In ransacking half a
dozen '/office buildings. .' In the' grand
round-up the burglar cleared up about
$400. :: ■ ■ ■-' '
From the evidences left by the burglar
it appears that he is a skillful operator.
In each building the work was almost
identical, showing the burglar to have
been in each case the same. The marks
of several different kinds of burglars'
tools were found on the doors. In most
cases the burglar simply forced open the
doors with a "jimmy," while in others he
slid back the bolts of the Yale locks with
a thin-bladed knife.
The buildings entered, so far as could
ba learned yesterday, were the Gilfillan
block. Fourth and Jackson streets; the
Merchants" National Bank building. Fifth
and Jackson streets; Bank of Minnesota
building. Sixth and Jackson streets;
Newspaper Row, Fourth and Minnesota
streets, and the Omaha general offices.
Fourth and Rosabel streets. The rob
beries, with one exception, were not dis
covered until yesterday morning.
The burglar evidently spent several
hours in the Gllftllan block, as he entered
and searched no less than eight offices,
besides trying to get Into a number of
others. He began on the fifth floor and
worked downward.
From Butler & How's law office $2 In
stamps were taken.
Abbot E. Smith's office was entered, but
nothing was taken.
In C. N, Bell's office the thief appro
priated $3 in stamps.
On the fourth floor the enterprising
robber found $3 in stamps In James &
Lamprey's office, and also a small amount
In stamps in the office of Horton &
Denegre.
From the Williams Credit Clearing
house, on the third floor, the burglar got
his richest haul in the building—ss.9o In
cash.
On the second floor Young & Lightner
lost $2 worth of stamps. The operator
tried to get into Foley Bros.' office, on
the first floor, but could not force the
door.
Mpre substantial booty fell to the lot of
the burglar at the Merchants' National
Bank building. Here he entered the of
fice of the National Surety company, on
the third floor, and showed his skill by
opening the vault by working the combi
nation. Inside he gathered up $132 belong
ing to William L. McCurdy and left the
office otherwise undisturbed.
The thief proved a safe expert also In
his work at Newspaper Row, where he
broke into the office of Thomas Mont
gomery, grand recorder and secretary of
the Masonic order of Minnesota. Here
the safe combination was neatly worked
without a scratch appearing an the iron
box. The thief examined papers, but took
only money and jewelry. He secured $50
In cash, a Masonic emblem set with dia
monds, valued at $150, and a smaller em
blem, valued at $50. One valuable jewel
the burglar threw aside, apparently
thinking it of little worth.
At the Minnesota Bank building only
one.pffice, that of. the Standard Oil com
pany, was entered. Here the burglar se
cured-$6 in money. ■
The work at the Omaha offices, as told
In the Globe" of yesterday, was more
general. Every office on the flrs-t floor
was entered and desks forced open, with
the result that the burglar-went away $14
richer.
The robberies were reported to the po
lice, but the investigations up to date
throw little light upon the identity of the
guilty individual.
What mystifies the police Is that such
bold, wholesale robbery could be so suc
cessfully accomplished. With one excep
tion each of the buildings entered is
guarded by a night watchman, a fact
that leads to the belief that some of the
work must have been done during Sun
day. In no case did the burglar perpe
trate any act of vandalism that he might
have considered unnecessry 10 the suc
cess of his plans. Every door bore the
"jimmy" marks, but was not otherwise
defaced, nor were desks or other office
furniture Injured. Money or other val
uables easily converted Into cash seemed
the burglar's only quest, as ho every
where left papers nnd documents almost
undisturbed. In several instances unin
dorsed checks for considerable amounts
■were not touched. The authorities have
no hesitancy In acknowledging the "of
fice burglar" to be an exceptionally clever
criminal, whose presence In the city is a
serious menace to other people's property.

BISHOP WHIPPL.E INVITED.
A»ke«l to Speak at the Historical
Society Seinl-Centcnnial.
Two very interesting papers were read
at the regular meeting of the State His
torical society, held last evening at the
capitol, by Daniel Stanchfleld and Secre
tary Warren Upham. Mr. Stanchfield
who was the first lumberman to operate
in Northern Minnesota, reviewed the
progress of the lumbering industry on the
upper Mississippi from tha early '40s.
Secretary Upham explained the origin of
many geographical names of the Btate.
At the business meeting, which preceded
the papers, Hon. H. L. Moss, chairman of
the semi-centennial committee, made a
report on the arrangements which nr©
being made to celebrate the fiftieth anni
versary of tha founding of the society
which will occyr on Nay, 15. The report
was only partial. Mr. Moss stated that
Bishop Whipple had been invited to de
liver an address, and that other speak-
era were under . consideration. Judge
Henry T. Wells was elected a life roerabjr
of the society, and successors were to
have bc*n elected to the recently deceased
members, Charles E. Mayo, second vice
president, and Charles D. Klfelt, of the
council, but, owing to the amount of
business to be transacted, the election
waa postponed until the September meet

SUBMITS A REPORT.
l. ) reH»uian .j^renK Tells What
Was Accompli*]^* at Washington.
At the chamber tif commerce meeting
yesterday Representative F. C. Stevens
told of the work accomplished In Wash
ington during the past winter by the St.
Taul representatives.
It had been a very j busy winter at the
capitol, and he had^been repeatedly ask
ed when the new-federal building would
b# ready for oocupancy. Owing to the
Immense amount of work which has ac
cumßlated in tho «Kqe of the supervising
architect the woric of finishing the build
ing Is likely to t>a, Relayed. He thought,
however, that bj^.jthe time the federal
court convenes j»e«t summer the rooms
on the upper tlodra of the present wing
would be ready for occupancy. This, he
thought, is the best that can be done,
and the first floor will not be completed
until the tower addition is finished.
In speaking of the river improvements
secured, he mentioned the continuous
appropriation for locks and dams be
tween St. Paul and Minneapolis, amount
ing to nearly $1,000,000, becoming available
when needed. Appropriations, were also
secured lor the repair of the upper Mis
sissippi reservoirs. ;
Mr. Stevens explained in regard to the
Fort Snelling military reservation im
provements, that during the past winter
the secretary of war and adjutant gen
eral had both expressed themselves of
the opinion of the standing appropriation
of $500,000 for the improvement of mili
tary posts should be used at Fort Snell
ing. He thought, however, that it would
be questionable policy to push the matter
at this time, and suggested that appro
priations looking merely towards the
beautifying of the post should be con
sidered as a separate proposition.
Referring to the president' 3 proposed
visit to St. I'aul, Mr. Stevens stated that
he had agreed to spend a day in each
city.

FIGHT IN TBE CAPITOL
ONE! OF THE MOST* DISGRACEFUL
AND SENSATIONAL EVENTS
.SEEN THERE
KOERNER JR. VS. VANDIVER
With a Quarrelsome Package John
; 8. "Went Around Looklne foir
Trouble and Found The State
Treasurer Assaulted Daring the
Scrap—Female Attaches of the
Capitol Flee In Terror.
One of the most disgraceful and sen
sational scenes which has ever been en
acted within the walls of the state house
took place yesterday rorenoon In the
state treasurer's office and the corridor
adjoining It. J. 8. Vandlver made a
vicious attack upon State Treasurer
Koerner and his son, and was rewarded
for his trouble by a sound thrashing ad
ministered by the latter. Not satisfied
with being whipped VantTiver paced the
halls for ten minutes after the affair,
emitting such a volume of foul language
that the lady attaches about the state
house fled to some place out of hearing
range. The halls soon filled up with
clerks, officials and others, who had been
attracted to the scene by the commotion.
After the blood had been washed off his
face in the secretary of state's office,
Vandlver was hustled away by some of
his friends.
According to tho best accepted story
of the affair Vandiver entered the state
treasurer's office and demanded of young
Koerner that he sign a letter retracting
certain statements which he (Vandiver)
claimed Koerner had made about him.
This Koerner refused to do. Vandlver
said:
"I'll make you, you — ."
The words were scarcely uttered when
young Koerner took him by the collar
and shoved him out of the door. Van
diver turned and started for Koerner,
who landed his right squarely on Van's
nose and he dropped like a log. Van
diver then started to leave the office,
and when out in the hall turned back
and the doorway was blocked by State
Treasurer Koerner, who admonished him
not to come in the office again. Van
diver's reply was a blow in the face of
Koerner Sr. Before the state treasurer
could recover himself his son had taken
the fight off his hands and knocked his
father's assailant clear across the hall
to the secretary of state's office. Young
Koerner rushed Van all the way across
the hall, and every few steps he land
ed with telling effect, drawing the crim
son at each blow.
The men clinched just in the open
door, and Capt. Chase and Engineer Mu
lany separated them. Young Koerner
went back into his office and Vandiver
continued his abuses in the secretary's
office while the blood was being washed
from his face.
State Treasurer Koerner, as a result of
the fray, carries a couple of bumps on
his forehead, and young Koerner barked
his knuckles where his fist came in con
tact with Vandiver 1 s teeth.
The afi&ir caused a great deal of ex
citement in the state house during th«
forenoon. Young Koerner claims that
he acted in self-defense, as Vandlver's
attitude was threatening, and ha was
armed with a wrench, and that he called
him names which no man who had any
manhood would submit to. The wrench
carried by Vandiver was dropped during

ASM'AL ROXXNG TOURSET.
Undecided Events Will Be Settled
Before the Athletic Club.
This evening the St. Paul Athletic club
will conclude Its first annual boxing
tournament as well as Its second annual
wrestling tournament, at the club gym
nasium. The trial bouts in the boxing
took place last Tuesday night. The finals
in the lightweight and middleweight were
postponed until tonight. In the former
O'Donnell, who won over O'Brien, will
be pitted against Tommy McDonough,
a promising amateur.
In addition to the amateur events the
two clever middleweights. Jack Mc-
Donough and Gus Augustine, will have a
four-round go for a decision. This will
be McDonough's first appearance since
his return from ■ the East.
The wrestling promises to be well con
tested, Robinson, a new man, and Web
ster, both promise to give McAuley, tho
present champion, a hard tussle. The
lightweight medal rests between Juhre,'
Caldwell and Oakes, while the feather
weight lies between Ebbs and Miller, who
were also in the boxing. The sport will
begin at 8:15. The doors open at 7:80, and
the probabilities are that the house will
be packed.

night at prohibition headquarters. The
feature of the meeting was a paper on

sible, as he is in a legal point of view, for
the conduct of his cabinet officers, and
that they look to him to right this atroci
ous wrong."
