STIRREDTH1NGS UP The Senate Committee's Report lias Jarred Not Alone the ex- State Officials. Loose Way in Which State Affairs Have Been Conducted in the Past. Hack Hire and Other Expenses Charged to State hy Greedy Officials. Bismarck, Feb. 9.—The investigat ing committee's report stirred things up considerably and showed a very loose way of transacting public busi ness, to say tiie least. If the report should be adopted the state would be saved many thousand dollars. It is recommended that the board of railroad commissioners should elect a secretary from their number who would reside at the capital his office expenses should be paid from the maintenance fund. The expense ac count of the guard should be paid from the militia fund, the committee thinks, and the militia appropriation should be retained to keep up interest in the guard. A law is recommended that accounts for transportation of convicts and insane persons should be audited by county commissioners and published in their proceedings before being paid by the state. Committee rooms for the legislature should be ob tained at the capitol to save expense. The giving away of chairs and other state property by the legislative as sembly should be prohibited as an ex pensive and questionable practice. The expense of the state board of of equalization, $617.50 for the past three' years, is without warrant of law. The attention of the governor and attorney general is called to the vouchers on tile aggregating $1,200, for salaries and expenses of adjust ment commission for settlement of delinquent taxes. The expense of re turning fugitives from justice should be paid by the counties where the of fense is below the grade of felony. The appropriation for the educational library should be repealed, as the ap propriation for the maintenance of tlie capitol should not exceed $16,000 per annum. The payment for electric light should cease as soon as possible, as the amount of light does not justify the expense. A lighting system should be installed from the penitentiary, or if that cannot be done, a plant should be installed in the capitol building. Inventory of the property of the state in the capitol building is recommend ed to be made and an account of all purchases kept. It was found that state property has in the past disappeared from the building without consent of the proper authorities. The cost of postage and telegrams can be materially reduced, the committee thinks, if care is taken to restrict their use to state business only. Hack hire by state officers is not a proper charge against the state in the opinion of the committee, al though such charges have been made. Suit against the bondsmen of defunct banks for the amount of money still due the state is recommended, to pre vent bondsmen taking advantage of the statute of limitations. The retired secretary of state has failed to keep a book of supplies, as re quired by law, or to keep the records as provided by section 91 of the code. There is found to be no record of the emergency commission, which has had state funds at its disposal, except upon sheets of letter paper. State officers should be required, in the opinion of the committee, to make their reports in duplicate. The salaries of the resi dent officers of the insane asylum should be paid from the appropriation fund of that institution instead of from the general fund. The state auditor's report as printed is found to unreliable and in bad form. The items of expense should be grouped so as to show the expense of every office and department. Claims against the state should be verified by oath, which is found not to be done in the ma jority of cases. The cost of the state examiner's of fice for the last biennial period is found to have been $13,300, with an income of fees of $1,64!). It is found from the records and reports that for the two years ending Dec. 21 last there have been 215 examinations, for which fees amounting to $2,(00 should have been collected, of which the treasurer's account shows $1,485. The examiner claims that fees for ex amining building and loan associations belftng to the examiner, on which the opinion of the attorney general has been asked. It has been suggested that all state officers should keep a fee book and make a verified report each—mpnth to the governor and state auditor. The department is recom mended for reorganization so as to make it less expensive to the state. The governor, the committee thinks, should be given power to examine state institutions and state officers' accounts by a special examiner ap pointed by himself, at such times he may deem to the best interest the state. The fets of bank examin ations should be increased until the banks pay the cost of examination. The appropriation for this depart ment for the ensuing biennial period is recommended as follows: Salary of examiner for two years, $3,600 clerk hire $2,400. A reduction of the public printing expense is recommended, by reducing the size of reports and printing only such reports as the governor may direct. The fiscal year for the state is recommended to be changed from July 1 to January 1, as a beginning. The fees of the state land department are recommended to be increased lo cover the expense account. No war rant should be issued or paid on any appropriation when it is exhausted. Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 8.—The sen ate investigating committee reports favorable to cutting out one-half oi the deputy clerks, and many other ex penses, roasts the ex-secretary of state for loose methods and neglect, urges the attorney general to bring suit to recover from ex-Auditor Hannum four hundred dollars of alleged illegal fees, kicks on the disappearance of furni ture with the retiring officers, and gives numerous ex-state officials a jolt. Recommends engrossing bills by con tract. They also recommend the abolishment of the adjutant general's salary and the state fair appropria tion. The articles of personal property which have followed the officers off range all the way from couches to cuspidores, and from typewriters to checkbooks. Not the least among tin articles account books, which are ne cessary for a complete accounting and checking up of some of the offices. Some of the ex-officers were cited to appear before the committe to ex plain, while others have been notilied to return certain articles, and there by save themselves a "whole lot of bother.!' In the senate yesterday the bill to have county veterinarian districts was killed. The fraternal insurance bill was referred to a special committe after a discussion in which Senator Simpson stated that he believed the bill was vicious legislation, as it at tempted to place upon the statute books of the state a mortality table which had been adopted by no otlu-r state.

Galbraith: As the law now stands there are a number of bidders for same land at tax sale, the lowest best bidder is determined by the one who will bid the mount due on the smallest amount of land—tha is, the bidders bid down the amount of land which they are willing to except. Under the proposed bill the one will ing to accept the lowest rate of inter est on the amount of his bid is the best bidder. The result desired by this bill is that in case of competition the rate of interest wi'l be reduced to redemptioner. It is the same in this respect as the South Dakota law, and ft is reported that at Soux Falls at the last sale, the average rate of in terest was 7 per cent. Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 7.—Petitions were presented in the senate yester day against the enactment of the law repealing the woman suffrage provis ion of the school election laws and for the passage of the cigarette bill. The former was from residents of North wood and vicinity to the number cf 177, and was presented by Senator Lavayea, who introduced the bill against which the petition is directed. He suggested that the committee on woman's suffrage to whom it was re ferred make an examination of the handwriting in the signatures to the petition. The cigarette petition was presented by residents of Lisbon. The judiciary committee reported senate bill 115, terms of county com missioners, to pass with amendment excepting commissioners whose terms expire in 1902 and 1903. Senate bill 101, embezzlement, and senate bill 95, fees of county auditors, were recom mended to pass by the same commit tee.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mother's and grandmothers' never thought of using anything else for indigestion or biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of appendicitis, nervous prostration or heart failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermen tation of undigested food, regulate the action of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the sys tem, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches.

The Soo railroad alleges that in Raritan school district, Wimbledon vilage and Pierce township, Barnes county, errors were made in certifying taxes to the county auditor, and de cline to pay $300 of the $1,500 taxes assessed in the county. Every woman loves to think of the time when a soft little body, all her own, will nestle in her bosom, fully satisfying the yearning which lies in the heart of every good woman. But yet there is a black cloud hovering about the pretty picture in her mind which fills her with terror. The dread of childbirth takes away much of the joy of motherhood. And yet it need not be so. For sometime there has been upon the market, well-known and recommended by physicians, liniment called I set- the A I O S E O A S Senator Simpson introduced a to repeal the law permitting the prac tice of osteopathy. Senator Taylor introduced a bill endorsed by the state medical association, defining what constitutes the practice of medicine. This definition got lost in the Code, when the ost eopath bill passed. Un der its provision most of the traveling eye and ear doctors will be put out. ii is also thought it will knock mag netic, osteopath and other similar practitioners, unless they pass a state medical examination. bill A bill to repeal the university reve nue tax was introduced in the house.
