DIRECTORS, OF UMOiN STOCK
YARDS SANGUINE OF SKCI Itl NO
CDDAHY PLANT ":
CATTLE LOAN CO. ASSURED
Nine-Tenths of the Stock Is Sab
scribed, and South St. Paul
Will Secure Profitable
Business.
"It is up to us now," said Gen. M. D.
Flower to a reporter for the Globe
yesterday, referring to the Cudahy pack
ing plant project, "and on Wednesday or
Thursday the directors of the Union
Stock Yards company will nveet to d scuss
ways and means. The Cudahys have
made us a proposition, and we are not
sure that it is not the best they can of
fer."
Continuing, the general said that it Was
his private opinion, not speaking in his
official capacty, that South St. Paul
would very probaibly secure the proposed
plant.
Another movement which will tend to
greatly stimulate the cattle industry at
South St. Paul is the establishment of a
Cattle Loan company. Though articles
of incorporation have not yet been filed,
the formation of such a company, with
a. capital stock of JIOO.OCO, Is absolutely
assured. As soon as the legal formali
ties have been complied with, the promo
ters and stockholders will meet and elect
officers and directors. Among those who
will be prominently Identified with the
new company are J. S. Bangs, general
manager for Swift & Co.; J. J. Flanagan,
cashier of the Stock Yards bank; W. E.
Briggs, of Madrid, Io.; Gen. M. D. Flow
er, J. W. Lusk, president of the Mer
chants' National bank; Kenneth Clark,
president of the St. Paul National bank;
A. C. Anderson, cashier of the German-
American bank.
Of the capital stock, the Swifts, of
Chicago, have already subscribed $50,0C0
cash and local persons interested have
subscribed $40,C00, and the remaining
$10,000 has ibeen pledged. The idea of the
company is to lend its capital to farm
ers to assist them to purchase and feed
cattle, which wiil eventually come to the
local packing houses. The loans are se
cured by mortgages on the cattle, and
then these note«r are discounted at the
banks and the money is again lent out to
farmers. In this way, with a capi
tal of $100,000 as much as $6G0,030 or $700,-
COO can be loaned out, and all will be a
source of profit to the company and a
benefit to the cattle industry. In speak
ing of the remarkable growth of this in
dustry in South St. Paul of recent years,
Gen. Flower said:
"Last year we did a total business of
$14,000,000, a sum equal to two-thirds of
the value of the wheat raised in Minne
sota in an average year. I thave no hesi
tation in predicting that in ten years or
perhaps a little longer the business done
in St. Paul will reach a total of $100,000,
--000.
The great North-west Is being rapidly
settled up, and as the farming communi
ties grow, the stock industry expands..
We have a fllagnlflcent field, reaching
practically to the Pacific coast. Just
now we cannot handle all the stock that
passes through our city and goes to Kan
sas City or Chicago. In time this will
be changed. We shall allow nothing to
escape us, and the stock industry in this
city will easily reach the figure I have
mentioned."

Are William Rosenfiold and his four
children in the Mississippi river?
The police suspect that a horrlblo
crime has been committed and the wife
and mother has becrv driven almost wild
by her fears. Yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Rosenfield told the police her sad story
and suspicions which, if true, will re
veal one of the most revolting crimes
that has ever been committed in the
city's history. Lieut. Budfe* of Prior
avenue station, was detailed to work on
the case and a thorough investigation
will be made until the facts have been
ascertained.
As was reported in yesterday's
Globe, William ■ Rosen fi< Id wenlt to the
livery barn of T. J. Schwartz, Eighth
and Wacouta streets, last Wednesday
evening, and secured a horse and buggy,
promising to return in an hour.
He did not return within an hour or a
day. Yesterday Mr. SchwarU became
alarmed and asked the- police to find his
horse. He was at or.cc informed that the
rig -which he lost had .been found in
the Prior distiict last^hurs.-lay and was
awaiting a claimant. And here it was
that suspicion and fear began to rise.
Investigation showed that after get
ting the horse and buggry, Rosenfield
drove to the home of a Mrs. Bowlin, 492
Mississippi street, with whom one of his
children was staying. ; Owing to his dis
sipation he and his. wife parted three
months ago, she taking the three older
children to live with her at the home of
a sister, Mrs. Prank Eigford, in Minne
apolis, and giving the youngest child,
two and a half years old. in charge of
Mrs. Eowlin, its godmother.
With this child, Samuel, the father,
already under the influence of liquor,
drove to Minneapolis. He went to the
home of Mrs. B:gfaixh*aftd learned that
his wife was at the of another sis
ter, Mrs. Charles Bodeau, who waa very
ill and not expected to -live. Rosenfield
was angered at his wife's aibsence and
getting the other thnce cjhldren drove to
Mrs. Bodeau's hou^e. Here a stormy
scene took place betwt«sa the drunktn
father and heart-biipken mother, which
ended in his assurinffrh«r that the next
time she saw him shevrociuftl b« in mourn
ing. In high wratiu be left, and with
the children drove rapiiHy away.
HORSE liS^i^UND.
It was midnight Wexjjfwsday when Ro
senfield left his wite. ? Since then no
trace has been seen <e£«)jim or any of the
children. At 6 o'clock the next morn
ing the horse and eaoriage were found
near the Marshall ateihiß bridge. In the
carriage a family dqgrwas the only oc
cupant. A weight was tied to the horse
and he was aimlessly wandering up the
street from the direction of the river
when found by Officer Ix>uis Larson.
Mrs. Rosenfleld feels sr.re that in his
angry, drunken mood f.-.e man drove to
the river, drowned the eh ldren and then
committed suicide.
The children are Joseph, nine years
old; Mary, seven years old; William, four
years old, and Samuel, two and one-half
years old.
Rosenfield is a German, thirty-five year 3
■old. Ten years ago he married Nellie
Taylor in tihis city. From the first he
drank heavily and contributed but lit
tle to the support of his family, his wife
being obliged to do domestic work. After
waiting for years vain'.y noping for ref
ormation, she left her husband three
months ago. Since then he has cabled on
her several times and urged her to re
turn. She finally promised him that she
would go back to him last Tuesday, but
owing to the sadden I-.Tness of her sis
ter refused when he went for her on
Wednesday. This angered him, And they
parted on bad terms. What he d d with
himself and the children remains to b«
discovered.

TAN FIRE INSURANCE CO.
LICENSE NOT YET REVOKED
New York Department Satisfied With
Company's' Ability and In
tention to Make
''_>'.*-.■ Good. '■ ■:<:mM&
The Manhattan Fire Insurance Com
pany of New York, with a general
agency in St. Paul, hrss suffered an im
pairm.mt In its capital stock of $490,000,
and as a result has been ob'.i^ed to sus*
pend business in one state of the Union,
at least, until the impairment shall be
made good. State Superintendent of In
surance E. T. O/Rear, of Missouri, has
brought about the temporary suspension
of business by this company in his state.
In the report which was sent out a day
or two since regarding this matter, it
was claimed also that the Manhattan
had been charged with making a ml3
lt-ading statement to the Missouri in
.su ranee department.
The Manhattan does a considerable
business in Minnesota, but its license
here has not yet been revoked and
probably will not be. State Insurance
Commissioner Dearth has taken pre
cautionary steps against injury upon the
part of the state, but will be ready to
stop the company's operation at any
time should it prove necessary or wise.
On learning that the Manhattan's
stock had become impaired, Mr. Dearth,
at once wired "P. Hendricks, 'head of the
state insurance department of New York,
the company's home atate, for particu
lars. Mr. Hendrtcks replied that of th©
total capital st»ek of $300,000 belonging:
to the Manhattan, all but $10,000 had
been impaired, which, of course, meant
that the entire stock was practically
tied up. He stated also that requisitions
had been made upon the company to
make good and that reliable assurances
had been received from the Manhattan
which justified Ithe state of New York in
omitting the revocation of its license.
Later Mr. Dearth received a letter from
Mr. Hendricks explaining in full the
situation. The letter was sent a day
later and gave room for adverse develop
ments in the company's case, but. from
its tone the New York authorities were
evidently satisfied with tho company's
ability and intention to make good in
spite of the alarming aspect which Is
reasonably suggested by the impairment
of all save $10,000 of the company's capi
tal stock.
The Erie company is under the same
practical management as the Manhattan
and supposing that naturally it would
have been depressed by the same causes
that affected the Manhattan, Commis
sioner Dearth applied to the New Yorlc
officials for information concerning the
Erie's condition also. He was advised,
he states, of no circumstances that would
have* justified the revocation of this
company's license, but (the department
was unable to give him complete in
formation. A communication is looked
for May 2,Tegardingthe case of the Brie,
and Mr. Dearth will, of course, take no
action until then. It may not be neces
sary to do anything in this case.
Commissioner Dearth is well ud on the
affairs of the Manhattan company, hav
ing been its general agent here before
his term of office as state insurance
commissioner began in January.

Nervura:
" The f acme of Dr. Greene's Ncr»
vura blood and nerve remedy has
been a. master of public discus
sion, and its use in many families
has been noted in this locality.
The accounts of benefit from many
distinguished laddies a.r\d gentle-
men, who are well known to me,
lea.ye no room for doubt of its
great efficacy in the lines in which
it is recommended. I hsxv© no
hesitancy in approving the use of
Dr. Greene's Nervura blood &nd
nerve remedy."

Large Hanufacturers of the Country to Form Big Trust.
CHICAGO, April 26.—Chicago manufacturers of clothing, representing an aggre
gate capital of from $15,000,000 to $O),000.000 r met and decided to form an asso
ciation which will combine with similar bodies throughout the United States
The step was taken as a result of a visit of Eastern delegates who for years
have been trying to effect a combination of all the large manufacturing houses in
the United States. The New York ofganization has a total capital of upward
of $100,000,000, and with the factories of six other Eastern cities in the Union
another $100,000,000 is added.
We're Not In It!

U. S. SUPREME} COURT AFFIRMS AS
SESSMENTS FOR IMPROVEMENTS
BY MUNICIPALITIES
OF GREAT INTEREST LOCALLY
Case Is From Xorth Dakota, lint
Similar to Lewis , vs. : Minne
'■ - sota—l ok.•* Like
* , Reversal. *" -
Justice Shiras, of the United States
supreme court, in a recent decision, up
holds the constitutionality of the law In
North Dakota, relating to ,1; .assessments
for improvements -by municipalities. The
case just decided: was that of Mortimer
Webster against the city of Fargo. The
■city had improved strets on which
abutted some of ihis : property "and he was
charged a pro rata share of the cost of
the improvement on the basis of his
! frontage. Refusing to pay, h.s proper
i ty was sold according to - the provisions
of law and the contest on the ground of
unconstitutionality followed. The su
preme court of North Dakota held that
the laiw was constitutional, and the su
preme court of the United States affirms
this. ■■/-;; ■■;,. ■■■■■■':■""."":;; -'■■;.;.' *:-v •■•■
A similar case has ibeen hanging fire In
this state ever since 1593 and there i 3
naturally some conjecture -as to what ef
fect the decision will have locally. In
the: local case, that of :R. 'P. | Lewis ,vs.
The State of Minnesota, the state su
preme . court 'held the water frontage tax
unconstitutional. ": : ; -
. In 1871 the people :of the state voted
to amend the constitution so as to permit
front foot assessments for sewers, pave
ments, and all local j improvements. -In
1895 the Lewis tract of land was assessed
for water frontage on Dale and Front ■
streets'. This gave rise j to the 5 question t
involved and the case went to the su-!
preme court three times and each time '
the frontage tax law was affirmed. The |
case then went back to the d strict co_r; ;•
for the reason that the ground in ques- :
tion had not been platted and it was in- !
sisted that if the law were censtitut onal '■
there was no ■ reason why , there should !
be an assessment for the street cross- }
ings. The case was taken back to the ■
supreme court for the fourth time, and j
in February of this year the law was de- j
clared unconstitutional. • .■;.•■
r Corporation Attorney - Markham has
prepared a brief applying fora rehear- |
ing, and this is now before the supreme i
court.- Speaking of the decision of the
United States supreme court last night, j
Secretary • John Caulfield, of the water i
■board, said::
: "What effect the decision will ; have
I cannot say, ibut it seems to me that ;
the supreme court has . reversed Itself. I
There was a water case in Washington
in which the court decided the law un- j
constitutional, and there was another!
case, known as the Norwood case, in
which "the . court decided against the
i front foot tax assessment. The " last,
! however, was for local improvements, j
i The question^ involved is one whoh ulti- i
; mately affects large sums of money In
'St. Paul, and throughout the state for
that matter, and further , information
from Washington•■ will be awaited with
eagerness. I should like very much to
see Mr. Markham about the case, but he
is out of town." _ - ■ _

. Made—Eulployme-nt for
Many Workmen.
The South St. Paul distillery, which
has been idle for four years, is soon to
be reopened and will be running
full blast. J. W. Johnson, superintend
ent of the institution for the past eleven
years, has returned from . Chicago, where
' he was In conference with the officers of
the | American Spirits Manufacturing
company, owner of the plant, and says
that as a result of the conference he is
in a position to state that the plant will
be running in a few months'. The oper
ations of the distillery will now be on a
much larger scale than heretofore and :
its importance will be greatly increased.
Mr. Johnson states that many improve- V
ments will be required and a general
overhauling is in order. Even In is
present shape the plant is one of the best
equipped in this country west of New
York and, with, the added facilities .thi..
owners of the plant will be able to turn I
out a big output. It is expected that it
will take until Septemib:r to put the
plant In operation."
Th« reopening of the plant means em- •
ployment to many men. - The coopers
and stillhouse men will number 15V;
and besides this there will foe a dozen
