It Decides to Memorialize Con gress. Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. 15.— The first session of the irrigation con gress began in this city at noon to-day, about 250 delegates being present. Gov. Thomas welcomed them on behalf of Utah in an extensive speech, in the course of which he referred to the fact that the Mormon settlers, in 1847, begun the first system of irrigation in the West. Referring to the question of ceding the arid lands to the various fetates and territories, he said it would be well for the congress to consider the best means to be adopted in presenting the measure to congress. The governor spoke of reserving the . great graz ing ranges and "taid that they should be sold in tracts of limited value under carefully guarded provisions ot law. The area of Utah under cultivation is 2,304,000 acres, about 4 per cent of the 52,001,000. About 60,000,000 cannot be used, except a por tion of it for srraziiur. lie believed this congress would greatly influence legis lation in behalf of the West. The mayor and president of the chamber of commerce also delivered addresses. Permanent officers were chosen, C. C. Wright, of California, being elected as president and F. K. Gillespie secretary. 3>lr. Wright delivered a short speech on the matter of ceding arid lands to the state or territory in winch situated, and the best means to surest to congress for so doing; also the best methods of irrigation to be suggested. It was de cided to appoint a committee to memo rialize congress, and Thursday was set aside as a day for presenting the me morial. The convention then adjourned, lifter appointing a committee on plat form and resolutions, till to-morrow. - Confirmed.

Proposition Leading to the Placing- of Ali Such Wires Under Ground. Mass of Routine Business Passed Upon by Aldermen Last Evening 1 . Health Inspector Hoyt Takes a Jerk at His Azotine Critics. The meeting of the board of alder men last evening was ihe shortest yet beld by the lower house, and was con lined to purely routine matters. Presi dent Gullen was in the chair, and all the aldermen were present except Messrs. Gehan and Sullivan. The board of fire commissioners asked permission to soli a chemical eagtne for which the department has no further use. an offer <>i $1,200 having been made for the same. The matter was referred to the commit tee on fire department. The hospital commissioners reported that they had awarded the contract for Breproofituc nil 1 carpenter work upon the new hos pital building to P. H. Donevan for 113,360, he being the lowest bidder. The aldermen, by a full vote, approved the award of the contract. The contract e warded by the commissioners to W. Rodger & Co., >7. v 4\! for steam heating plant for the hospital, wasabo approved. 1 lie claims for damages presented by the Taylor-Craig company and Robert McMennery, caused by the recent burst ing of a sewer, were referred to the city attorney and engineer, the committee on claims baring made a report that the claims be so disposed of. A resolution to give to Bazille & Part ridge permission to erect a factory building on the West side levee was re ferred to the committee on streets, on the motion of Aid. Sanborn, who main tained that the ordinance should men tion the number of men the linn should employ. An ordinance amending cer tain sections of the regulations of the health department, relating to the san itary condition of buildings, and pro viding certain penalties, was referred to tin: committee on streets. Aid . Sau boru introduced v resolution to change the inline of Goodrfcb avenue to west city limits to Crocus Hill avenue, and asked that it bo referred to the com mittee on streets, as there was some op position to the change, and he desired that ali parties should be heard. The resolution was so referred. A resolution by Aid. Conley, that 11,995 be appropriated out of the Lang ford park assessment fund to pay the laborers employed bythe contractor, who failed to linish the work, was referred to the city attorney for investigation as to the legality of the claims of the men against the contractor. Dr. Hoyt, the hsalth officer, presented nis bond for 53,000, with Dr. J. H. Murphy and Lorenzo Uoyt as sureties, for the faith ful performance of his duties. The bond was referred to the committee on ways and means. The aldermen au thorized the proper city officers to issue, in favor of the water commissioners, two certificates of indebtedness for $98,615.13, to bear interest from Jan. 1, UHtt, at 4 per cent, payable June 1, IS 1 .):;, as authorized by the charter. An ordinance mtt&ing further restrictions upon the storage of petroleum and other dangerous liquids was passed by the board. The chairman appointed Messrs. San born. Dobner and Bielenberg to act with Messrs. Vau Slyke, Qppenheim and McNamee as a joint committee to Investigate the advisability of having all telephone and telegraph and other wires in the business portion of the city placed iv underground conduits and the poles removed. The resolution to fix the limit of leases granted to manufact urers to erect factories on the West side levee, so that they will not extend beyond 1916, was referred to the com mittee on streets. HOYf'S SIDE. Tho Health Inspector Pertinently Retaliates on the Azotine Trou ble. Dr. Hoyt, tiie health officer, was seen at his office yesterday and interviewed in regard to the statements recently made in the assembly and elsewhere as to his certifying accounts of the Azotine company for the collection and destruc tion of garbage, which is causing so much comment Dr. Hoyt, in speaking of the matter, said: "As regards the accusations that have been matte that I have certified bills of the Azotine company for collect ing garbage in lsoi, they are en tirely false. 1 have absolutely refused to approve «ny ot their bills, except those where I thought they ought to be paid. I approved one bill for February for 1916.66. and otte for July for a sim ilar amount. The bills for the other months of this year I have not ap proved, nor do I intend to do so. This statement can be easily verified by go ing to the city comptroller. These bills have been paid by the common council and I have nothing at all to do with the matter. Furthermore. 1 addressed a letter to the council two months ago, stating all 1 had a right to state in the matter, that the collection of garbage was very un satisfactory to tliis department and to the public, and I urged in the strong est terms 1 was capable of using that immediate action be taken." "What has been the result?" "New bids were advertised for. and half a dozen were sent in, all of which were referred to a committee, sent back to the assembly, back again to the com mittee, and there killed. Nothing defi nite has been done on my suggestion by the council up to date. "As to the destruction of the garbage by the Azotine company at South St. Paul, the statement has been hurled at me that 1 knew nothing of the work being done at that spot. \ will state that 1 do not know what the company is doing outside of the city limits. My duties are performed in the city of St. Paul, and if the Azotine company claims to be doing the work at South St. Paul it is not to be expected that I should follow them wherever they choose to locate. It would bo absurd to expect men to go to New York if the company claimed to be disposing of the garbage of St. Paul in that city. "1 would suggest that the person who has criticised my actions, or which he knows so little, should turn his atten tion to the couneilmeu, who are re sponsible for tlit: payment of these bills of the Azotine company and who have the power to refuse payment unless positive proof is given by the Azotine company that the work has been dove in a pioptr manner." PLEASED THE PUBLIC. Locke Richardson Gives a Mas- terly Heading of "Othello." The audience which greeted Locke Richardson at the People's church last evening was a very flattering on« both in point of size and in the attention it paid the reader. Mr. Richardson la by no means a stranger in St. Paul. His scries of readings last season won him an enduring popularity among all lovers of bliakespeare. Last night he read that wonderful story of passion and craft, of faith and deceit, '"Othello." : It was a delightful; evening's entertain ment, for, while Mr. Richardson does not possess the strength the character of Othello demands, vis reading ot the lines is so excellent that one gains ' a THE SAINT I'AUIi JJAILY GLOBE: TYEDNESDAT MORNING, SEPTEMBER I*s, IB9L new insight into the nature of the simple and passionate mcor. In his delineation of Othello's passion and raze. Mr. Richardson is particu larly haopy. It is only iv the moments of Othello's grief that one feels the lack of strength. Mr. Richa*rdson s lago is a revelation. It combines the unconceiv able vileness and cunning of the' man with the frankest appearance of Hon esty, in a truly marvelous fashion. The other characters are each distinctly portrayed. It would seem impossible for one man to individualize so many characters' as Mr. Richardson does. His claim as a keen and appreciative student of Shakespeare are scarcely second to his claims as an actor. The announcement that he will give a series of readings is hailed with delight by all lovers of legitimate drama. Mr. Rich ardson will next read "Twelfth Night" Friday. '.'. WITH BRIGHT PROSPECTS. The Hamjine University Yesterday Opened the Academic Year. Hamline university began the new academic year, yesterday with the brightest prospects the prosperity of the Northwest would warrant. The students have been drifting back for over a week to take in the big shows and work in an unusual amount of fun before the serious work of the year. The sons of fathers whose wheat crops warrant ''sending John to college" are there, and there is more than the usual • percentage of high school graduates joined to the faithful. The present senior class is the one which suffered the most by the riot of a year ago, so its number is small; but the other classes are up to par and the entering freshman class is very large. The faculty remains as it was last year, with Dr. Bridgman at the head. His summer has been spent chiefly in looking after the interests of the institution and as a working mem ber of the city board of education. Prof. L. 11. Batchelder, of the depart ment of chemistry, was numbered among the instructors of that science at Chautauqua, N. V., during his vacation, and added 10 his already line reputa tion. Prof. 11. L. Osborne re turns this morning from New York, where lie passed the sum mer mouths in original research at a biological laboratory on the shores of Long Island. The others have spent their vacation at home or in quiet trips. The art department is as formerly — the piano, taught by F. W. Merriam; voice, Willard Patten, and painting and drawing by Julius Segall. The de partment of elocution Will be in charge of E. E. McDermott. Prof. E. F. Mearkle, of the chair of mathematics, will be unable to resume his work in the college this fall on ac count of a pressure of business in his city office, but it is hoped the winter term will see him back; IX THE NICK OF TIME. Poisonous Draught Wrenched Prom a Would-Be Suicide. An unsuccessful attempt at suicide was made yesterday by Mrs. L. Sin, 11 --zer, a midwife forty-nine years old, who resides at 215 West Seventh street She has had some domestic trouble with her husband, who left her three months ago, and legal proceedings were pend- relative to the possession of the furniture in the flat. Yesterday while in a despoil lent state she endeavored to put an end to her life by drinking car bolic acid, but the cup was wrested from her hand by a neighbor who hap pened to enter' the room. Dr. Auten Pine was sent for, but the woman had not swallowed any of the deadly draught. Before the attempt she wrote a number of letters to relatives making charges against her husband and other persons. At the very time she attempted suicide her attorney, John W. Willis, secured a judgment in her favor in the civil branch of the municipal court iv the suit against her husband. FIGHT TO THE END. Has the City Railway or the Fire Department the Right of Way? . Chief Jackson, of the fire department,, yesterday appeared ■in* the municipal court as complainant in the case of William H. Carter, the cable car grip man who is accused of having wilfully run into a hose cart of the fire depart ment while on its way to a fire, causing serious injury to the cart and one of the horses. J. J. McCafferty appeared for Carter and argued upon" a number of legal points, but the case was adjourned until Friday, when the witnesses are to be called. It is understood that the fight will be a bitter one, the city rail road company supporting the gripman, while the municipal authorities are backing the lire department.- Marries His Divorced Wife. That strange things . will happen is again evidenced by the fact that Theo dore Borup took out a license to wed Mary S. Borup. The strange feature in this instance is that the parties were husband and wife, years ago. in the old country. Theodore Borup came to America, leaving his wife, and then secured a divorce. He then married a second wife, who subsequently died, and he now returns to his first love, who lately came to this country. ' — : — *»■ THE FIGHT FOR PURE FOOD. -■' _ : Success of the Efforts to Scotch ■ Bad Baking Powders. The aggressive war waged by the Royal Baking Powder company upon the hosts of adultered and impure bak ing powders sold throughout the coun try is having a desirable effect. The scandalous attacks upon the Royal com pany by the manufacturers of" impure goods (which are made doubtless both in a spirit of revenge, and in the hope of breaking the effect of the damaging exposures) show that they are hit, while the official reports which have come from the various public authorities,fully corroborating the statements made by the Royal company, have awakened a wholesome public sentiment in favor of repressive laws, which means mischief to the illegitimate traffic. The Royal Baking Powder company set out some time ago to expose the character and to break up the sale of adulterated baking powders. Having found from an examination of many specimens that there was a large num ber of actually injurious powders in the market, they brought the matter before the public and denounced the makers by name in the press and to the health authorities. The affair was taken up by physicians, boards of health and legis latures throughout the country, chem ists were employed to test the various powders in the market, and the govern ment itself directed analysis to be made before it would purchase the supplies needed for army, navy and Indian uses. . The result justified the charges made by the Royal company. Not only \verß the majority of baking powders In the market found to be largely adulterated, but many of them were ascertained to contain alum and other poisono-is ingre dients to such an extent as to render them very unsafe for use in human food. In making the charges the Royal Bak-~ ing Powder company did not hesitate to enter into competition with every other baking powder in the country, and it is a public satisfaction that in the official j tests by the government and state chem ists, and by boards of health, the Royal Baking Powder has been declared to be the superior to all others in strength, Fiurity and wholesomeness, and abso utely free from all inferior or detri mental substances. From recent official reports it is evi dent that the alum and otherwise im : pure goods have again come upon the ! market in dangerous quantities, and their old enemy, the Royal, ;is again upon the warpath. In continuing ■ its warfare against these goods the Royal is meeting with the old-time opposition and abuse. The .public, however, will i appreciate, as heretofore, both the ob ; ject of the abuse and the action of the Royal company, and award fall justice , to the company that so fearlessly stands up for hi protection from such ad- Yeuturers. l : ' ALWAYSTOTHEFRONT The State Regents Pass Upon Matters of Weighty Educa tional Importance. A County Attorney's Success ful Appeal to Koep His Salary Intact. Horrible Condition of Young: Girls Disclosed by a Medi cal Examination. A Lady With Half a Million of Property Complains Taxes Are Too High. The board of regents of the state uni versity had a protracted session yester day. Clinton D. Smith, the director of the experiment station, made this re port : At the meeting of the board of re cents in May last the sum of $15,000 was placed in the hands of the agricultural committee to be devoted to the erection and equipment of a building for in struction and experimentation in dairy ing. Soon after the nieeting, at the re quest of the committee, the director visited. with Prof. Henry, of Wisconsin, who was on a similar errand, some of the best factories iv Northern Illinois and in Wisconsin, studying plans for the uew building. An active corre spondence was instituted with the rrren all over the world best informed in such matters, interesting them iv the pro ject and securing from them sugges tions. Over fifteen letters of this kind were sent to the best dairy instructors uf Germany alone, and although full and courteous answers were recived in every case, it was found that their methods were not applicable to our con ditions,. No building of its kind and tor this specific purpose could be found, and it is believed that to this board of regents belongs the honor of erecting the First Dairy Buildins of magnitiite for instructive purposes iv the world. After careful study the committee adopted the plans prepared by the ar chitect, -Prof. Aldrich. The building was to be of pressed brick, and with a siate roof to lessen the liability of lire. Com mo' lions rooms are "pro vided for practical instruction in manufacture of both butter and cheese. In the building also are to be the ollices of Cfle director and his assist ants, a leetuie room, where animals may be ied iii tor illustration in the lec ture: convenient lockers and a lavatory, curing room for cheese, colii room ror summer work, and all the conveniences for carrying on the work on the factory plan. After the advertising required bylaw, the bids for the construction of the building were opened at the capitol on the 15th day of July, and the contract awarded to" the lowest bidder, Joseph Congdon, of Minneapolis, whose bid was for the sum of §11,44."). The bui Id- Ittg rapidly approaches completion, the walls being nearly up anil ttie rooi' partly On the Win<£«. Tiie director was also authorized to issue a circular in regard to the new dairy school, stating the special facili ties offered, the object of the inaugura tion of the school, and such other mat ters relating to it as would interest the dairymen of the state. The circular has been issued ami is beingdistributed. T. L. ilaeeker, of Cottage Grove. Wis., was employed as instructor in butler making at a salary of $75 a month, his term of service to begin Oct. 1 and end April 1 following. The board decided to place the build ing tor the veterinary college iv repair for immediate occupancy. Dr. Charles Hunter was appointed in structor of theory and the practice of medicine in the medical college, and. Dr. E. J. Wells associate, and Dr. J. \V. Bell professor of physical diagnosis and clinics. It was voted to erect a wing to the ob servatory at a cost of $550. It will be of limestone. Architect Heed's plan for the medical school was accented, and a contract was awarded tv Fairbanks, Morse & Co. for tiie construction of an 1,800-barrel tank on a substructure four feet high, at a cost of $-j.oou. These were present at the meeting: J. S. I'iJlsbury, Minneapolis: Cyrus North rop, president of the university; D. L.

A County 'Attorney's Appeal to Keep His Wages Intact. G. W. Rockwell, county attcr.iey of Fillmore county, was dissatistied with the salary fixed by the county commis sioners. It transpires that this board of commissioners was empowered to regulate his salary under the pro visions of the General Statutes of IS7B, as amended by the General Laws of 1885. Section 3oi the General Laws of 1878 gave him the right to appeal to the district court from the action of the commissioners. It seems that the dis trict court dismissed the appeal. Mr. Rockwell then took his cause to the su preme court and yesterday Justice Col lins filed the decision with the clerk that the district court erred in that course and the supreme court remands the case for further proceedings. G. W. Rockwell, as county attorney, etc., appellant, vs. The Board nf County" Com missioners of Fillmore Count y. respond ent. Co lli.ns, J.

The notice of foreclos ure proceeded against the lot in ques tion and four others as in default, and the amount claimed to be due and un paid on the debt was stated in a gross sum. And the amount paid by the mortgagee as taxes upon the five lots was also stated in gross.

The defect above referred to in the notice of tale, the omission or failure to stato the amount due upon each of the lots proceeded against, and to state the amount of taxes paid on each of the lots, is within the provision of General Laws. 1883, chapter 113, sec tion 1.

A HORRIBLE OFFEXSE. Young Girls Found Suffering From a Revolting Disease. A particularly revolting case came under the notice of City Physician Ancker yesterday. Agnes Lesinski, a seven-year-old girl, daughter of Jacob Lesinski, a Polander residing ou the upper flats, was brought to the doctor's office by Mrs. Lucy Marling, who acts as housekeeper for Lesinski, whose wife is dead. The child was examined, and found to be suffering from a ser ious veneral disease. Another child, Lucy Levinski, who also lives on the fiats, was with the party, and on ex amination wae found to be aiso con- Uwninated. The childreu were ques tioned by Dr. Ancker. and stated that they had been in the habit of visit ing a house on the flats kept by a Mrs. Cole, where men met to drink, and, while there, had been assaulted. The children stated that the ; person who assaulted them was Richard Connelly, seventeen year* old, a watch man for the Azotine company. Lieut. Murphy, of police headquarters; was sent to arrest Connelly, who. however, gave himself up on hearing of the charge brought against him. J)r. Ancker stated that it was a physi cal impossibility for Connelly to have committed the crime, and asked that the police release him from custody, which was done. Connelly bears an excellent character and denied any knowledge of the affair. The house kept by Mrs. Cole was found deserted when the police visited it, and no trace of the woman could be found. A rigid investigation into the affair will be made by tiie police in order to bring to justice the guilty par ties. SAYS SHK'S IMPOSED UPON. A Lady Who Owns Half a Million oi' Property in St. l'aul. The board of abatement met in the county auditor's office yesterday to heat applications for the correction or abate ment of taxes on real estate. Aid. Cul len presided. Several small changes in assessment were made. Mrs. Annie R. Mintzer, who owns nearly a haif^uiillion worth of property, and who \-> quite ec centric in character and peculiarly close in money transactions, appeared before the board with the complaint that her Robert street property 'is assessed too high. She was given a patient hearing and advised of the course she would have CO pursue in se curing a redress of her grievances. She asserted that it keeps her poor to pay tin- taxes on her property, and that she has no man to look after her affairs, and she is imposed upon. One of the mem bers of the board, at least, smiled at the idea ot her valuable property being, a burden to any oiu\ A reporter sug gested that, there were plenty of.single men who would be willing to risk a marriage venture where a few hundred thousands may be had on the side, but the suggestion drew forth a character istic smile from the woman who is bur dened with real estate. .iTho Soo South Shore Lines Quote the lowest round trip rates from St. -Paul, Minneapolis.

McCoy and Blair Did for Them. Mr. and Mrs. James Claydon reside iv a neat cottage standing a short distance back from the street at No. 3341 Wash ington avenue north, Minneapolis. To the writer Mrs. Claydon said: "Three years ago James, that is my husband, caught a severe cold which settled iv his head • and caused him an endless amount of trouble. His nose would stop up first on one side and then on the other. His eyes would water and crow weak and dim, so that he could scarcely see to read. His head ached so much that if he would stoop over he would be come so dizzy he could scarcely stand, and would reel for a moment like a drunken man. The pains in his head were very bad. and he was often "too sick to work. There was a constant dripping of mucus in his throat, which " I * made him hawk and spit in order to clear it. The mucus which he spit up was of a yellow and some times greenish color, and looked like masses of putrid- matter. His sufferings were so great that he said he would willingly do anything to obtain relief. At Chat time the pa pers were full of the remarkable .IA.MKS < I. A VIiDX. cures pt-rioniifd l>v Drs. McCoy and Blair, and my husband deciued to be treated by them. They cared Him com plbtery: not a trace of his trouble re mained, nor has any symptom returned, ii'thou^h it is now nearly three years since ne diseoHtiiiupd tifeir treatment. The cure is both complete and per manent. "1, too* was afflicted with the same disease— mine lias troubled me for a period of sixteen years, and was a worse case than that of my husband. Many of his symptoms were like my own, but 1 had many more than he. My rest at uizhi was poor, hi the mucniug 1 would arise feeling tired and unrefreshed. My tonjjue was coated with a sticky slime and my breath had an offensive odur. I v had do appetite for breakfast, felt sick at my stomach. and lost ilesh rapidly. There were ring ing noises in my ears and pains of a sharp, shooting nature would dart through my side, body aud chest. 1 couched a great deal, too— in fact, to make a lour, story short, I \v;s so miserable at times Chat I felt it would be a relief if I could end asi MiIS.JAMi:s CL.VYDOX existence that had" jrrown almost un bearable. 1, too, was treated by Drs. McCoy and Blair, and words can but faintly express my gratitude for the re lief and comfort they have Riven me."
