BIVOUAC OF THE DEAD
FUNERALS OF PRIVATES HERBERT
I*. KEELER AND GEORGE
PICHA
BOTH INTERRED AT OAKLAND
The Services Were Impressive, Vol
leys Were Fired Over the Uravm
and Taps Sounded by Trumpeters
—Biers Were Covered With Floral
Tributes Prom Mourning Friends
and Relatives.
The remains cf two of the brave men
who gave up their lives In defense or
the country during the war with Spaia
were yesterday afternoon, with miiitar>
honors, interred in their laat restins
place at Oakland cemetery. The linai
tribute was an Impressive one, and th%
volleys fired over the graves and the
"taps" sounded by the trumpeter in the
presence of former comrades of the de
! parted marked the laat honor that could
! be paid to the memory of the dead.
The funeral service over the body of
Herbert L. Keeler, a former member of
| Company C, and who died at Manila; was
held at the First Methodist church. Tha
altar was draped with huge American
flags, and the church auditorium was
crowded with those who had known Pri
vate Keeler during his long residence in
St. Paul. The bier was- covered with
floral tributes, among which was conspic
uous a mammoth shield of lilies, a testi
monial from Company C, the members
of which met at the armory and attended
in a body.
The service, which was brief and Im.
pressive, was conducted by Rev. F. B.
Cowgill, the pastor, and the church choir
aang "Lead, Kindly Light," and "Rock
of Ages."
The body was taken to Oakland on a
caisson, accompanied by the members of
• the company, under the command of Maj.
i Robinson. At the grave Dr. Cowgill mads
a last short address, the firing squad,
composed of Privates Klmball, Zimmer
man, Hall, Kelly, Stark, Wethy, Mul
larkey and O'Brien, under the command
of Corporal Delamare, fired three val
leys, and the trumpeter sounded "taps."
The pallbearers were: Privates Brack,
Barlow, Arneson, Ed Robinson, Bogard
and Rank.
The funeral of George Pichra, a forme*
member of Company Gr, Second United
States volunteer engineers, who wa»
drowned in Manila bay on Jan. 8, 1898,
was held from the house at 388 "West
Seventh street. There were numerous
floral offerings, and upon the bier was a
huge shield, presented by the former com
rades of the deceased. The service was
very brief. Capt. A. O. Powell delivered
a short address, and a quartette of sol
diers sang. The remains were taken to
Oakland on a caisson escorted by the en
gineers. The pallbearers were: Privates
Dreher, Carlson and Schneider, Corporal
Prescott and Sergeants Cutcheon and
Messenger. The firing squad was com
posed of Privates Nacey, Boyd, Lave*,
Hasson, Odell, McLean, Carrier and Hoff
man, commanded by Corporal Breid
schweid.
The quartette was composed of B. P.
Edey, William Temple, Robert Temple
and K. F. Dreher.
The remains of Private Jesse Cole, of
Company F, Thirteenth Minnesota, who
was murdered in -the Philippines by na
tives who professed friendship, now test
at Lakewood cemetery, Minneapolis. The
funeral services were held yesterday aft
ernoon at the First Baptist church. His
old comrades in Company F met at the
armory and marched in uniform to the
church, .where they acted as an escort.
The church was filled with members of
the Thirteenth and their friends.
The casket, which was draped in the
stars and stripes, was carried to and from
the altar by Jay Hall, Frank Jessup, W.
Beedle, George Bryson, Iver Anderson,
Ben Chilson, C. De Lame, W. Nichols, D.
H. Allen, Ira Towle, A. S. Hanson and
Ed Fortier; Joe Le May acted as bugler,
and Myron Hingley was in charge of the
firing squad- Bey. W. B. Riley, of the
First Baptist church, officiated.
Mr. Rlley took his text from I. Timothy,
vi., 12: "Fight the good fight and lay
hold on eternal life." He drew a parallel
between the Christian and the soldier.
Mr. Markham recalled his reminiscences
of Private Cole while _he was one of bi3
church members. He "had baptized Cole
in his church in 1896. From San Fran
cisco, when the Thirteenth was on its
way to the Philippines, Cole had sent
back a message of love to the church. He
had expressed the belief that the war
would be of brief duration, and that h»
would be back soon in good health.
The congregation joined in singing "My
Country, 'Tis of Thee," "Onward Chris
tian Soldier," and "All the Way, Savior
Lead Me."
The members of the company and Im
mediate friends accompanied the remains
to the cemetery. The squad fired a sa.
lute over the remains, which were then
placed in the receiving vault, where they
will remain until spring.
Private Cole was murdered by the na
tives while acting as cook for Company
F, April 10, 1899. He went among the
Filipinos to purchase some supplies. He
failed to return, and his comrades went
in search of him and fouad his mutilated
body not far from camp.
The body was buried near Manila,
where it remained until recently, when it
was exhumed and brought home. Cole
was born in New York state, and resided
in Minneapolis when the wa,r broke out.
PURE FOOD CRUSADE.
MaJ. Bowler's Assistants Are Push
ing It Throughout the State.
State Dairy Inspector Julian A. Sweet
has been making quite an extended exam
ination of creameries in the southern
part of the state, as well as watching the
manufacturers of food products for
adulterations. His trip was productive of
some good results. Thomas Anderson
and John Dostol, of Havana, Minn., were
accused of diluting their milk with water
and prosecuted. Fines of ?25 and costs
were imposed In each case.
At Meriden, Mr. Sweet found that a
mercantile company of Faribault had
been selling adulterated vinegar to a local
merchant, and a warrant will be issued
for a traveling salesman who sold the
vinegar.
Mr. Sweet while away visited a number
of creameries and at each place gave
suggestions, which were gladly accepted
by the creamery men. Withal, he was
well pleased with the inspections, and in
some instances there was little room for
improvement, while in others, by
painstaking, the profits could be greatly
Increased.
SUSPENDED _FOR TALKING.
I'atrulnian Evans Directed to Ap
pear Before the Mayor.
Chief of Police Getchell started out
yesterday to enforce the discipline he has
laid down for the police department by
suspending Patrolman Evans, of the cen
tral detail. The officer's offense consisted
In a too prolonged conversation with an
acquaintance at Seventh and Robert
streets. Chief Getchell ha 3 instructed the
patrolmen that gossiping will not be al
lowed, so when he was making the rounds
of lower town yesterday to personally as
certain how his orders were being car
ried out, he was not pleased with Patrol
man Evans' alleged misconduct, so sus
pended the officer on the spot. Officer
Evans will be given an opportunity to de
fend himself before Mayor Kiefer.
Patrolman Evans has been a member of
the force but a short time, having be«n
appointed from the Eighth ward to fill
the vacancy caused by the removal of
former Acting Detective James Heeney.

itary Posts and the Immigrants-
Who Are Already Bound to
Come.
Neil Mclnnls, of Tower, former mem
ber of the legislature, was among the ar
rivals at the Windsor yesterday. Mr. Mc
lnnls states that the output of the mines
on the range will be doubled during the
current year. The output last year was
2,500,000 tons, and there is every promise
that the tonnage will reach 5,000,000 this
year. Mr. Mclnnis states that there has
been greater activity among the lumber
men this season than heretofore. A
great amount of pine has been, cut in the
towns north of Tower. A new mill has
been built on Vermlllion by a syndicate
of Wisconsin men that will take care of a
very large proportion of the logs that do
not go into Canadian waters.
Speaking of politics, Mr. Mclnnls says
that Van Sant is the favorite with the
range people and he believes that the
Wlnona man will have the solid support
of the St. Louis delegation In the con
vention.

eTh ernume itaonoththepoofetaoinmfwp
The enumeration of 1880 gave North Da
kota a population of 190,000. "An effort
will be made," said Mr. Little, "to have
another congressman apportioned to
North Dakota by congress. The same
body will also be asked to make an ap
propriation of $325,000 to carry on the work
of construction of the military post near
the capital. Preliminary work has been
done and several buildings put up with
the money originally appropriated. When
the post is completed it will be one of the
largest and best appointed military sta
tions in the United States. There will be
upwards of forty buildings on the reserva
tion.
"Our prison board has experienced a
great deal of delay in getting the binding

SOBRIETY AND SHORT STORIES
Dlst'ussod »y George S. Innls last
EvenlnE.
Prof. George S. Ir.nls, of Hamline uni-
I versity, spoke on the subject of "Tem
j perance" last evening at the Clinton Ave
nue M. E. church, considering the ques
tion from a financial standpoint.
"If the two great vices, alcoholism and
the use of narcotics, should be abandoned
and the traffic done away with and the
money spent by the consumer put into
productive enterprises, this country would
be the most prosperous on earth," declar-
WHAT BO THE CHILDREN DRINK?
Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you
tried the new food drink called GRAIN-O?
It is delicious and nourishing and takes
the place of coffee. The more Grain-O
you give the children the more health you
distribute through their syßtems. Qrain-O
is made of pure grains, and when prop
erly prepared tastes like tbe choice grades
of coffee but costs about M as much. All
grocers sell It. 15c and 23c
Ed the speaker. "Furthermore, we wouhl
have a higher and better manhood be
cause of the educational and social Im
provement that would be bound to fol
low."
Prof. Innis declared ..that he believed in
| shorter working hours for the laboring
men. Nine hours' work would be better
than ten, and eight better than nine.
Th» time wilt come, he predicted, when
men will not^neetL-to work even eight
hours. .Moreover,- Jthe workingman will
\ not take advantage of his extra hours of
' ; leisure to patronize the saloons, as op
ponents of the eight-hour aystem have
claimed. Instead, he will be more likely
to stay at home with his family and ob
tain recreation. It is the man who is
tired out with a long day of arduous toil
that goes to the saloon to obtain stimu
lants.
"I am a firm believer in the economy
of high wages," said the speaker. "The
high wages "raise the standard of work
manship, and also mean a higher man
hood. However, the great end to be at
tained is the suppression of the alcohol
ism and tobacco vices. If that can be
brought about, and I believe it can, then
the vast amount of capital' that would be
diverted to productive enterprises will
make our country the grandest and most
prosperous on 'the face of the globe."

CITY DETECTIVES ACCOMPAXr
MIDNIGHT CAR TO CITT LIMITS
.FOR PROTECTION
I Fruits of the New Departure In Lo
cal Policing Were Shown Yester
day in the Detention of Two Tur
bulent Spirits.
The behavior of passengers leaving this
city on the last interurban car at night
has led to an effort on the part of the
police to restrain patrons of the "owl,"
and two officers are nightly taking this
car to the Minneapolis city limits. Satur
day night, while Detectives Christian and
Sweeney were convoying the car they pre
vented a riot among tlje passengers and
doubtless saved many of the passengers
physical injuries by arresting H. J. Web
ster and H. T. Ellison, of Minneapolis, on
the charge of drunkenness and disorderly
| conduct.
It ia alleged that the young men began
bullying those in the car and threatening
to "thrash" anyone who Interfered with
them. They had things their own way to
Western avenue, but when a passenger
brushed against them in alighting from
the car, a free fight seemed imminent.
Female passengers screamed and crowded
to the front part of the car, while the
more timid men gave the belligerents a
wide berth. Detectives Sweeney and
Christian finally pounced on the abusive
individuals and hustled them off to the
Rondo station. The accused will be given
a hearing in the police court today.
HAD THE CHILD WITH HIM.
John KiiMselmau Imbibed Too Free
ly on His Sunday Ontlng.
"I only went out with my little girl for
a good time," protested John Kasselman
from a cell at the central station last
evening, but the prisoner was visibly un
der the influence of liquor, while in an
other part of the station Matron Cum
mings was comforting a well dressed, in
telligent child of five years, who Inno
cently told how her father had been giv
ing lier wine in a saloon. Officer Noreen
was informed of what was going on In
the ualoon and placed Kasselman under
arrest. There was nothing to do with the
pretty little child except to send her to
; the station also, and there she sat, her
I big black eyes sparkling, while answering
unabashed every luestion of the big po
liceman, who ei.aeavored to ascertain
where she lived.
Kasselman was arrested in a saloon at
West Seventh and Chestnut streets, on
j the charge of drunkenness and disorderly
conduct. When he quieted down he told
the police that he was a blacksmith, liv
ing at 21 Nlcollet avenue, Minneapolis.
He left home with his little daughter
yesterday morning, and had the child
about town all day.
"I just teased and teased mama to let
me go with papa," explained the child,
"and Charlie, he lives up stairs at our
house, he teased mama to let me go, too,
so she put on all of my good clothes and
told papa to take good care of me. I
wish now I had stayed at home."

KNIFE FOR MONTEVIDEO MAN
Zenith City Politicians Think He

They Are Camping on His Trail
With a View to Nominating Some,

at In 1901.
Duluth is still waging a fight on
Lieut. Gov. Lyndon A. Smith, the
trouble seemingly being that the Du
luth senators, or, more properly
speaking, the two Republican sen.
ators of the three districts which each
include a part of the Zenith City, did not
get congenial and satisfying committee
'■ appointments in the session a year ago.
'. The News-Tribune of that city says:
"The nomination of Capt. Van Bant,
of Winona, as the Republican candidate
for governor now seems a foregone con
clusion. In fact, it is probable that when
: the convention meets there will be no op
position to him, and he will be named
as the standard bearer of the party by
! acclamation. This being true, it would
be good politics to choose as a candi
date for lieutenant governor some popu
lar man from the northern or central part
i of the state. The candiddates for secretary
of state and state treasurer are also like
ly to come from the southern part of the
state, which are additional reasons why
the lieutenant governor should be chosen
from another section. These facts are
becoming apparent to observing Republic
ans, and there now seems little doubt
that Lieut. Gov. Smith will fail of a re
nomination if any Republican of good
standing from the Fourth, Sixth or Sev
enth districts should enter the field."
Freeborn County News: There is going
to be no trouble finding a good Repub
lican like Van Sant or some other man,
to match against John Lind and hl3 rec
ord next fall, but Und is not the only
man to be reckoned with. A chairman
must be found for the Republican central
committee who can outgeneral L. A. Ros

TOOK BOTH INTO CUSTODY.
Officer Interrupts What One Says
Wh* Attempted Robbery.
Responding to cries for help from an
alley on Robert street, between Seventh
and Eighth streets, shortly before 1
o'clock this morning, Patrolman Tschlda
hurried in the direction of the sounds to
find James Harkins and John Collins
struggling together on the ground. Col
lins, undermost, was calling for help,
and when the policeman stopped the en
counter claimed Harkins had attempted
to rob him. Harkins was locked up on
the charge of highway robbery, while
Collins was detained on the charge of
drunkenness.
According to Collins' story he was en
ticed into the alley by Harkins and there
attacked. He claims the young man
grabbed him about the throat and threw
him down, at the same time trying to
search his pockets. Collins had $5.90 in
his possession. Harkins denies the
charge of robbery. He says Collins invit
ed him into the alley to have a drink,
and that a fight resulted over a can of
beer. Both men showed marks of the en
counter. Collins is a laborer, fifty-nine
years of age, while Harkins is a young
man, and claims to be a railroad switch
mar.. Harkins is a stranger in the city.

cottagers. To test these rights he has
brought suit for $2,500, alleged damages
done to his property. He also asks for an
injunction against farther depredations.
White Bear used to be deeper by two
feet than It is at the present time, and
summer people have come to the conclu
sion that the removal of 75,000 tons of Ice
every winter for the past dozen years is
responsible for the shrinkage. Formerly
the lake was sealed in the winter months,
but the removal of the covering by the
ice companies, says Gen. Sanborn, allows
rapid evaporation, and the springs are un
able to replenish the waste.

board at high noon, with a wedding jour
ney through a lonely African forest, was
the romantic experience of Miss Anita
Thome McLaughlln, of Chicago. She re

man, of Africa.
During the la3t year Dr. Lehman has
been engaged tn medical work at Lolo

sibe for him to return to America for
his bride, she Journeyed out alone to
meet him.
When the steamship Niagara reached
Great Balanzo Dr. Lehman came out in
a small boat. Capt. Davis, of the Niag
ara, stayed out beyond the three-mils
limit to avoid the exacting German mar
riage laws, and the wedding ceremony
was performed.
At the conclusion of the wedding feast
Dr. and Mrs. Lehman went ashore and
began their ninety-mile journey to Lolo
i dorf, followed by a picturesque proces*
sion of thirty native carriers having their
luggage. Dr. Lehman walked the entire
distance, and Mrs. Lehman went afoot
over thirty miles, being carried in a ham
mock when weary. They are living in *
native house made of bark with .<«.
thatched roof.
Miss MeLaughlin is a graduate of Ann
