"Work on the new state capitol bids
fair to progress more rapidly than the
yearly appropriations wffl become
available. George J. Grant, who se
cured the contract for constructing the
foundation has completed the work
ahead of the time agreed upon, and
has accomplished more, so the mem
. bers of the capitol commission say,
than the specifications called for. The
contract for the steel beams for the
basement floor has recently been let,
and the work will be completed during
the winter.
The next contract to be let will be
that fur the "main wal.'s, roof and dome,
which will range from $500,000 to $1,000,
--000.
The total receipts thus far credited
to the capitol commission amount to
$26G.U33.:.'0. This sum is made up of
the .2 of a mill tax in 1895 and 1896
on the assessed valuation of the state,
amounting in 1895 to $127,783.20, and in
1&)6 to $128,250. In addition to these
sums, the commission received $10,000
during the years 1893 and 1894. Out of
this total sum $162,572. r»0 has been paid
toward the site. The foundation work
has cost $108,065.49, but the final esti
mate thereon will not fall due until
after Jan. 1, 1897, when the 1897 appro
priation will become available.
The miscellaneous expenses including
those incurred by the competitions for
plans and premiums to architects in
connection with them, per diem and ex
penses of capitol commissioners for ;
three and one-half years; salaries of a
secretary, superintendent, clerks, etc.,
surveying, printing, advertising and
other miscellaneous expenses together
with the third payment on the
purchase of the site, which will be due
Aug. 1, 1897, will so diminish the 1897
appropriation that not sufficient will
remain for any practical use next year.
Speaking of the situation, Charming
Seabury, the chairman of the capitol
commission said last evening:
"The next contract, that for erecting
the main walls, roof and dome should
be let in one general contract, and this
necessarily will be the largest one,
running anywhere from half a million
to a million dollars. To let this con
tract advantageously for the state, the
contractor ought to have the assur- •
ance that sufficient funds will be avail
able to pay him, no matter how fast he
may push the work. But inasmuch as
the law now appropriates the money at
the rate of about $125,000 per annum,
one-half of which amount must go

> Henry Thomtmoii Thought He Had

Henry Thompson, of Robbinsdale,
Ht-nnepin county, who is laboring un
der the delusion that he is governor of
Minnesota, came to St. Paul yesterday
and proceeded to. take possession of his
office, a la Kolb, of Alabama. He came
from Minneapolis on the same car with
Gov. Clough, and arriving at the capi
tol, seated himself in Tarns Bixby's
chair, that" worthy, not yet having re
turned from his visit to the sacred
shrine at Canton.
He asked where the keys to Tarns'
desk were and seemed much put out,
when informed that Tarns had them
with him, but contentedly waited the
arrival of the morning mail. Finally he
proceeded to ransack the records in the
vault, which was open at the time of
i his arrival, and his reign was only in
terrupted by the advent of a burly
policeman, who escorted him to the
; police station. Thompson was brought
j up in the probate court yesterday af
! ternoon, but will be sent back to Minne
! apolis.
Thompson says he is a farmer near
Robbinsdale, where he has a wife and
; five children.

the Year.
The state drainage commission met
yesterday at the state capitol and lis
tened to reports on the stage of the
work which has now been abandoned
to be taken up next spring, Engineer
Hoffman reported that the Vega, Mor
ken, and Spring creek ditches and the
extension of the Mustinka ditch were
1 all completed and left in good shape.
, The Atherton ditch is unfinished and
the portion completed is left in bad
' shape due in a measure to the sudden
; freezing. The Manston, Felton and
: Middle river ditches are all unfinished,
but are in better shape than the Ather
j ton canal. The Vega ditch is in the best
j condition of any.
Bills amounting to $21,612.09 were
j audited, including the final estimates
; for the season on the various ditches as
follows :
Vega, $3,423.41; Spring creek, $1,234,62
and $3,831.67? Morken, $8,310.25; Mustin

Those boys who have found the ex

quented by street cars — it is such fun
j dodging them — will find their occupa
tion gone today and hereafter. The
chief of police instructed his "coppers"
yesterday to stop the boys coasting
| down Ramsey hill to Seventh street.
There is no objection to the boys
coasting on the streets free from street
car tracks* and not frequented by ve
hicles to such an extent as to render
the sport dangerous, but no coasting
will be allowed on streets occupied by
street car tracks.
SKATING SEASON OPEN.
Lake Como and Other Kink* Are
Ready Today.
Take your feet out on the ice. Go skating,
in other words, for it's perfectly safe, and
the ice is firm. Como park will be opened
to skaters today, and the Twiu City Rapid
Transit company has prepared a large sec
tion of the lake for the use of the fleet-footed
plei'Aure seekers. The Ice is firm and smooth,
and Yangerous i)laces will be carefully guard
ed. It is expected that there will be a large
number of skaters at the lake this afternoon.
The street railway company has prepared the
j warming house for the expected visitation,
j and will afford every comfort to skaters.
As yet the electric lights have not been put
in place, consequently there will be no skat
ing at the lake this evening unless it is un
der the rays of the moon.
The Jewel rink, below the Robert street
bridge, is also open for business, and crowds
are going there to take advantage of the
j first skating of the year. Many other similar
! resorts in the city will be ready for use be
fore Thanksgiving. The rink at Aurora park
will open that day.
At the regular meeting of the Summit
Skating club Friday evening, it was decided
jto reorganize for the carnival season. All
persons wishing to join are requested to call

QIESTION! WHICH CITY f
Shall the Bank Swindlers Be Tried
In.
Frank Schaus, alias Frank Schulz, and
John Lynch, alias John Lyons, were before
Judge Orr yesterday charged with forgery
and grand larceny. The mtn are those
arrested in Minneapolis while endeavoring to
negotiate the $2,145 check which disappeared
from the Second National bank on Thursday
afternoon. The hearing was continued to
Tuesday next and the prisoners committed
to jail. Assistant County Attorney Donnelly
is of the opinion that the case should be
prosecuted In Mlnneaplls. He argues that the
check, if it was taken from the office of Presi
dent Monfort by the men, was of no value,
as it had not been endorsed by Thomas S.
Tompkins, to whom It was made payable.
Sometime after it was taken from the bank
building it was endorsed by writing the name
of Tompkins on the back of the T>aper. It
then became of value and as it was attempted
to be passed in Minneapolis Mr. Donnelly
contends that the proper place to prosecute
the men is in that city. President Monfort is
in favor of pushing the case and Mr. Don
nelly says he is willing to go ahead here,
but thinks there would be a. hotter -chance,
to punish the men if the case was tried
where the offense was committed. The ques
tion as to which city -the case will be prose
cuted in will be decided before Tuesday.
George Walsh has been retained by the
prisoners to defend them.

Term DolngN,
Laura A. Long, formerly a bookbin
der, earning $3.50 a week, would like to
become possessed of $10,142 of J. H.
i Schuhmeier's money, alleging the latter,
in a suit filed against him in the dis
trict court yesterday, to be responsible
for personal damages which she claims
to have sustained while a tenant of the
defendant in what is known as the
"Schurmeier" block. Plaintiff, as a
cause of action, claims that she, in com
pany with her mother and other mem
bers of the family, lived in rooms on
the second floor of the block, which
opened on a hallway leading to a back
porch running along the side of the
building, twenty-five feet above the
ground. It is alleged that Mr. Schur
nieier knew the tenants of the block
often occupied the porch and that he
j did not exercise care in keeping it in
j a safe condition. In fact the railing
I is said to have been so thoroughly de
! cayed that when plaintiff leaned against
it Aug. 9. it gave way and precipitated
her to the ground, seriously injuring
her and causing her to be confined to
her bed for a period of two months.
By reason of being deprived of her
wages for this length of time and of
the physical suffering attending the
fall, from the effects of which the plain
tiff is alleged not to have- yet recovered,
damages are asked for in the above
amount.
MRS. THASK SUES
Trustees of Maroleitter for Services
Rendered.
As an echo of a disagreement between
Prof. J. J. Trask and the faculty and
trustees of Macalester college a year
ago, which resulted in the resignation
of the former as professor of mathe
matics at the college, suit was yester
j day begun in the district court by Mrs.
Abbie Trask against the trustees to
recover $411.25 for services alleged to
have been performed by herself and
husband as instructors in the institu
tion. While Mrs. Trask sets forth that
for services rendered by herself per
sonally, she has only a claim of $110
against the college, she brings suit to I
recover the amount alleged to be due I
her husband on the ground that she
has purchased his claim against the
institution.
The complaint alleges that both
plaintiff and J. J. Trask were employed
as instructors at Macalester college, the
; former from September, 1894, to June
! 20, 1895, rendering services thereby of
a reasonable value of $175, of which
J only $65 has been paid. The claims
j assigned Mrs. Trask by her husband,
i show that he gave instruction in the
i college all of the school year of '94, and
! from September, 1895, to Feb. 28, 1896.
For the first years of his teaching, it is
averred that Mr. Trask earned $800, of
| which $300 was paid in cash and $342
being taken out in board by himself
and wife in the college dormitory, leav
ing a balance of $158 unpaid. The sec
ond year's instruction in higher mathe
matics is placed at $688.88, of which
i there is claimed to be still due $137.70.
As a further cause of action plaintiff |
alleges that J. J. Trask sold certain |
j goods and merchandise to defendants j
1 of a value of $6.50, which claim she also
holds and includes in the total judg
ment asked of the court.
WHERE THE NICKELS GO.
Two More Daauajge Suits Agrnlnst
the Street Railway.
Randolph J. Spiel has brought an ac
tion against the St. Paul City Railway
j company to recover $3,000 damages for
personal injuries alleged to have been
sustained through the negligence of
the company. Plaintiff sets forth in
the papers to the suit, filed in the dis
trict cowrt yesterday, that he was a
passenger on an interurban car Sept.
3, 1896, from which he was thrown at
the corner of University and Fairview
avenues by reason of a collision with
another car on the same track. It is
claimed that the car upon which plain
tiff was a passenger had been going at
a "high and dangerous rate of speed,
but was then slowing down," when the
car following ran into the rear plat
form. It is alleged that both cars were
running at a rate of speed violating the
city ordinance and that the accident
occurred by reason of this fact. Plain
tiff was previous to the accident an
engineer, earning $100 a month, of
which sum he claims to have been de
prived by his injuries for five months.
j For injuries alleged to have resulted
! directly from' the accident plaintiff
i seeks damages in the sum of $2,500.
Frank St. Martin was yesterday ap

A Dress Goods Occasion.
Never in the history of this business have we shown at this
season of the year such a collection of New Dress Goods at such
prices as will prevail tomorrow. We have made large purchases
from Importers and Jobbers who were anxious to clean up their
stock. In order to do this some of them made tremendous
losses.
You'll open your eyes with admiration when you see the hand
some g-oods and you'll wonder at the prices.
Prices are the lowest ever made in Minnesota. They're
even lower than they were during- our dissolution of partnership
sale last year, when we were practically selling- at cost.

New Jackets.
New York Jacket makers are
frantic. First it was the election
that interfered with the trade.
Now it is the weather or some
thing else. At any rate they
have big stocks of materials as
well as made up garments, and
they must sell. Now the trouble
is that most retailers are them
selves overstocked, and they can't
buy even at 50 cents on the dol
lar. Our position is different.
We made some losses last week,
and closed out about 700 gar
ments. A New stock is now
here, and we can undersell any
other store in town and still
make a fair profit.
Read this carefully, and then
come in and see the Jackets.

ets, latest style sleeves and back,

lish Kersey and other Imported

thing else.
