DUEL BY LETTERS State Auditor litimi and Johnson of Ramsey Have Trouble. State Auditor Dunn and W. R. Johnson, county auditor of Ramsey county, have been indulging la a duel by mail. In re ply to Dunn's recent note asking a re turn of illegal applications, Johnson yes terday let go at Dunn with an old blun derbus loaded with rusty nails, figurative ly speaking. Johnson accuses the state auditor of being '"full of dope," and closes the polite effusion with a choice selection of billingsgate, advising Dunn to tie his ears over the top of his head and pull his fur cap down over them in order to keep the public from recognizing his zoological classification. Dunn says that when he replies to Johnson it" will be in gentlemanly style, and not savoritg of the bar-room. Pub lic Examiner Pope now admits that the state auditor is not expected to look up the applications, or to turn them over to the attorney general. The state auditor is obliged to rely on the county auditor for the statement of facts. NEW COMPANIES.

SANDSTONE ON UNIVERSITY AYE Moollet Avenne Bieyele Path 1H« --liute Is (umpromliird—l'ave uir-nt to Be Kelald. The city council last night adopted the paving committee's report, ordered a lot of cycle paths, referred the, Omaha rail way street vacation petition to a joint committee consisting of the committees on railroads, ordinances and the -aldermen of the third ward. Four aldermen were absent and the paving bond proposition went over again. Paving was ordered on the following streets: Washington avenue S. from Twelfth av enue to Cedar, with brick on concrete foundation. University avenue SJ3, • from Fifth to Eleventh avenues, with sandstone on con crete. Sixth street N, Hennepia to Third ave nue, with brick. Tenth street S, First avenue to Park, with cedar blocks. Eighth street, Hennepin to Nicollet, with cedar blocks. Washington avenue X. Twentieth to Twenty-sixth avenues, with sandstone. Marshall street NB, Sixteenth avenue to Thirtieth avenue, macadam. Sandtttune Standa. Alderman Chatfield led in an effort to have the sandstone recommendation for University avenue changed to brick, but was outvoted. Otherwise the list went through without a contest. The bids received for the fire depart ment buildings on Third stret were re jected and the clerk directed to read vertise. The list of cycle paths recently recommended by the committee was or dered with the exception of the University and Stevens avenue paths. One was added on Talmadge avenue, from Twenty fifth avenue to Fifteenth avenue SE, and on Fifteenth avenue to Como avenue. The various views as to a path across the river on Nicollet and Central avenues were amalgamated in a compromise calling for a path four feet wide to be made by smoothing the present granite pavement and relaying it in cement. It is claimed that this process will cost only about half as much as brick. I.okkl"^' Ordinance. An ordinance that means a great deal to the sawmill operatives was introduced by Alderman Mumm and passed under suspension of the rules. In substance it grants to the Northern Pacific railway the right to lay a spur track from its line, easterly across Pacific avenue, be tween Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth avenues N, across Mill street, and souther ly across Twenty-third and Twenty-second avenues, between Mill street and the riv er, and across Twenty-first avenue X, be tween Pacific street and the river. Alderman Mumm explained that the pur pose of the ordinance in to enable the Soanlon-Gipaon Lumber company, which has many million feef of logs on hand In the vicinity of Brainerd, to ship their logs to Minneapolis by rail, and then run them over the spur track down to the river, where they are to be sawed at the Diamond mill. Otherwise the lumber com pany would be obliged to ship the logs to Still water to be sa-wed. Under the ar rangement made possible by the ordinance the Diamond mill and doubtless others will be able to give constant employment day and night. A BRILLIANT GENIUS Rev. Dr. J. Henry Smythe to Lecture To-morrow Msrht. Rev. Dr. J. Henry Smythe of Phila delphia, the widely known preacher, lec turer, and publisher, will deliver his famous lecture on "Turning" Points in a Young Man's Life," at the Hennepin Ave nue Methodist church to-morrow night. The Philadelphia Times thus speaks of him. The Rev. Dr. J. Henry Smythe is the most popular pulpit orator and platform speaker in Philadelphia. We epeak advisedly. The mention of his name will fill almost any cen tral church in the city. He is a brilliant genius. His imagination is rich and poetic. His power to captivate and thrill an audi ence is beyond question. His -abounding il lustrations are • always fresh, • appropriate and beautiful. He is gifted with great per sonal beauty, - a splendid voice and intense magnetic power. . COLLECTED $8,000 It Costs to Trespass on State Lands. W. S. Dedon, head timber cruiser for the state auditor, dropped in at the capitol yesterday land deposited with the state treasurer checks to the amount of $8,000, collected from lumber companies for tim ber cut on state lands. Either trespasses have been unusually bold this season, or the cruisers have been especially diligent. They have been very successful in round ing up violations of the law. BUYS $10,000 MORE' County' Treasurer Gets Courthouse Bond* for Sinking Fund. - County Treasurer Bell to-day purchased $10,000 courthouse and city hall bonds for the sinking fund. hTese bonds are 4*£ per cents, and were purchased at a pre mium that will make them yield 3 per cent.

Washington, May 11. —The national con ferenc of charities and correction to-day decided to hold the next convention in Milwaukee at a date to be selected later, probably In June, 1902. The public ses sion to-day was devoted to a discussion of a project advocated by the committee on legislation for a national bureau of chari ties and correction with educational and statistical functions analogous to those of the bureau of education. Dr. F. H. Wines, assistant director of the census; Edward T. Devine of New York, and Professor F. A. Fetter of Palo Alto. Cal.. will ad dress favoring the project and a com mittee of three was appointed to press action. UNIDENTIFIED BODY. The body of the man found Thursday night in the river above the Fort Snelling bridge remains unidentified at the Ramsey county morgue. The body will be buried in the course of a few days if not claimed. A Xe'ivslioy*!* Success. Eight years ago Harry and Charles Schrot were selling the New York papers on the street corners. To-day they own a large business and a good-sized business block in "Washington—all earned by their own efforts. When they sold papers on the street they always sold more than other boys; when they bought a little news stand they put more vim and effort into their work than their competitors. They succeeded because they compelled success. So with the brewing of "Golden Grain Belt" beer: it is pre-eminent among table beverages because it is made so.

GO FOR THE '02 GOPHER IT WILL BE HEADY TUESDAY Those Who Have .Seen It Say It la m Work of Art Through out. The Gopher board announces that its publication will be ready for distribution Tuesday morning. The book is bound iv light blue, the covers being decorated with artistic designs by Miss Annie Bliti. The book is dedicated to Dr. Frankforter as a mark of esteem for his favors to the board. Among articles of the literary department, the Minnesota Daily mentions as especially worthy of consideration, "Class Room Superstitions," by Miss Ada Comstock; a character sketch of Dr. Bur ton, by a former classmate; "The Gopher Hall of Fame," the "Prospectus of the '03 Gopher," and a storiette called "Idyls of the Things." Of course there is poetry in the book, among the poems being "The Storm Wraith," by Chester Firkins; a "Sailing Song," byAliee Dougan; 'The New Era," by Vesta Cornish. These are the prize poems. Mr. Firkins' poem is accompanied by an illustration by Miss Amy Robblns which is worthy of special mention. The art work of the entire book is said to be of uusual merit. The football plate and department will attract special attention. The plate is the work of MaeMartin. A feature of the de partment is a poem dedicated to the •Guardians of Old Gold and Maroon," by Edith Patcb. Half-tones of the various teams and or ganizations of all sorts, of course, occupy a large amount of space and constitute a valuable record for those who will soon be looking back to their college days and re freshing their memories of those days by this record of things that happened while they were parts of the university world. PENALTY _DAY IS NEAR County Treimnrer Bell Say* Pay Your Taxes Before the Rush. County Treasurer Bell desires to call the attention of the tax payers to the fact that the time for paying real estate taxes without the penalty expires May 31. He says : The May rush for paying real estate taxes is beginning. A week or two from this time the county treasurer's office will look like a box office just before a grand opera. Everybody that pays taxes knows that the last day of May is the last day taxes can be paid without the added 10 per cent pen alty, and this is not far off now. Yet nearly everybody puts it off till the last day or two and then gets into the 'Jam. Business men often have to stand in line three or four hours. All this might easily be avoided either by their coming two or three weeks ahead of penalty day, June 1, or by using the mails. Get your tax statement, pin a certified bank check to it for the amount required and the mail carrier will do the rest. The date of the Minneapolis postmark on a tax remittance in the city will be ac cepted as the date of payment. Already we have a largely Increased force of experienced statement clerks and reeeipt trs, and are prepared to give taxpayers prompt service. SOPHOMORE DEBATE Tbove In Favor of Long; Presidential Term Make Strongest fane.

Lieutenant John R. Hannay, formerly a student ut the university and now a member of the Twenty-second infantry. are in the same hospital in Manila. The son was injured in the throat while on a duck hunting expedition, and while on his way to gee the son the father was injured in a rail road accident. Journal Buffalo Excursion Full of Rest, Recreation, Sight-Seeing and Solid Enjoyment. Are you thinking of joining The Journal's Pan-American excursion, to leave Minneapolis on June 18? If you ere, you had better make up your mind at the earliest possible time, so as to be en rolled on the passenger list and be re served accommodations. It is only two weeks since The Journal announced this delightful eleven days' vacation trip, but during that time tickets have been go ing at c very lively rate, quicker for the same length of time than for any previous Journal excursion. If this keeps up, and the demand seems to be increasing, the chances are good that there will be many disappointed ones at the last, as 125 passengers are all The Journal will take. If you want to avail yourself of the advantages this excursion offers you should be one of the 125. Perhaps this is the first time you have heard about The Journal's Pan- American excursion, so here is the story of it in a nutshell: Leave Minneapolis June 18, 9 a. m., on Great Northern rail way for Duluth, reached in time for lunch eon at Spalding' hotel, carriage drive in afternoon before dinner at hotel; leave Duluth at midnight on Northern Steam ship Miami down Lake Superior for the Soo and Mackinac; five, hours' stop at Mackinac on Thursday, where carriage drive will be a pleasant feature, and where party will be transferred to superb Northern Steamship, North West; special stops on Friday at Detroit and Cleveland for special carriage drives; arrive Buf falo Saturday morning at 9; party will stop at Statler's big Pan-American Hotel, one block from Pan-American exposition; ticket also includes one day's tour of Niagara Falls and Gorge. Returning, ex cursion will leave Buffalo Tuesday, June ■>5 at 10-15 p. m- °» Northern Steam ship North Land, connecting at Mackinac on Thursday with Miami for Duluth, reached Friday night at 10:30, in time to Van and Minnc To-day is Governor Van Sant's fifty-seventh birthday. As it happens to be the forty-third anniversary of Minnesota's admission to the union, the state and the chief executive have the same birthday. The governor has the advantage of four- teen years' experience. Their first introduction was In the summer of 1868, a few months after the ad mission of the state. The future governor was then a cabin boy on the James Lyons, an old-fashioned river steamer, and first beheld the shores of the infant state from the vessel's deck, where he did the bidding of the cook and the captain for $10 a month. That was forty-three years ago. Both are older, wiser and better known than they were in th« summer of 1858. The small cabin boy is now at the helm of Min nesota's ship of state CHANCES ARE NOT GOOD YOINUERS WILL HAVE TO WAIT I).-ml uk Law Huh Too Many Defect* to Olive Them a Show. The friends of the Younger brothers ap parently have very little hope of their liberation under the Demlng luw. They have not requested the governor to call a speciiU meeting of the pardon board, and unless a special effort la made the appli cation for parole will not come up until the repular July meeting of the board. There are so many obstacles in the way of the release ot the famous prisoners that there "is little wonder their friends have lost heart. The greatest is the well known position of Chief Justice Start, who has always been opposed to their lib eration. It is not necessary for tae chief justice to refuse his consent, however. Attorney General Douglas rendered an opinion when the bill first went into the governor's hands, which would either make it impossible for the chief justice to act under the Demlng bill, or would knock out the present parole system. The bill was referred to the attorney general for an opinion, which was given in detail at that time. He held that the chief Justice could not be called on to exercise the power of parole unless parol ing is construed as an exercise of the pardoning power, which the constitution expressly places in his hands. If it is not an exercise of the pardoning po-ver, it is an extra judicial duty not warranted by the constitution. Here comes the other horn of the dilem ma. X to parole is an exercise of the pardoning power, then all paroling should be done by the board of pardons. The present law, which places the power in the board of prison managers, is unconsti tutional. The opinion is a matter of rec ord, and under It the chief justice may decline to act under the oeming bill, which would therefore be inoperative. Another point has been frequently raised —the doubt whether the bill has ever really become law. It has been so recog nized by the secretary of state, but tlie courts might hold differently. The legis lature, in taking the bill away from the governor before he had three days to con sider it, took away his power to sign or veto the bill. . He might have vetoed it, but had no opportunity, as when the bill was returned to him the three days were expired. It is not likely, however, that this point will be raised by the board of pardons. MAY STRIKE OIL Howard 'Turner'! Texas Ranch in the Oil District. Howard Turner of this city has returned from the trip to his 12,000-acre stock j ranch in Texas. He was attracted by the news of the Beaumont oil well gusher and other petroleum strikes in the Lone Star state and went down to see what his land would turn up. The Turner ranch is in Coleman county about 125 miles due west of Waco. Oil has been discovered twenty-two miles northeast of Coleman and fifteen miles from the ranch. The oil find is about twenty-two miles from Browuwood in Brown county. In boring for water oil was struck at the depth of eighty feet, and it rose forty feet in the well. Two companies have been organized in Cole man and one In Brownwood, and both are i securing leases and options on lands in the territory where the oil was discovered. Nearly all the water wells have tasted of oil for years, and the deeper they were driven the omrneoiobxo :niETAO 01N..N driven the more obnoxious be came the taste. The conditions for oil are favorable, Mr. Turner finds, on his land and explorations are continuing. The presence of salt water, salt wells and gas are sure indications of petroleum and the Pennsylvania experts who are on the ground say that they are as good as any where. Oil is very near the surface. The Fort Worth and Rio Grande railway com pany is boring and prospecting, but no one knows what oil has been found. The company, however. Is endeavoring to se cure leases on land. Mr. Turner found that the climate in the neighborhood of his ranch is fine and the region is entirely free from malaria. He also discovered products on his land which may be superior to oil. One is lignite, which is present in a three-foot vein, (another yellow clay for brick and a third gray clay for cement. O'DONNELL TO ATTEND. Labor Commissioner O'Donnell will attend the national convention of state labor com missions, to be held in St. Louis 'May 22-27. He will make a report on the workings of the Minnesota department. Carroll Wright, national commissioner, is president of the as sociation. SIGHT RESTORED. Mrs. J. B.

If you desire, you can leave Buffalo on other sailing dates —June 29, July 2 or July 6 —but in no case later than July 6, and as all entertainment is planned for the going trip you will forfeit nothing except your berth on Journal sleeping car train from Duluth to Minne apolis if you stop over. . Except for your berths end meals on the steamships and admissions to the fair, the round trip rate of $44.50 covers all expenses and is the lowest that has ever been or ever will be offered for such a glorious trip offering such first-class accommodations. It is emphatically a pure air trip, and is full of rest, recreation and solid enjoyment from beginning to end. No better trip could be planned for your vacation, to say noth ing of the pleasant way to reach Buffalo's great big show. The steamships are the finest ever built for the great lakes, and all accommodations will be of the highest order. If you decide to make this glorious tour of America's great inland seas in this most delightful way and still wish to see Buffalo's wonderful exposition and sub lime Niagara, h&re is one great oppor tunity you should make the most of. You will be sure of meeting most congenial ladies and gentlemen and forming pleasant friendships, and you will enjoy a social side to your vacation you could not begin to enjoy traveling on your own account, to say nothing of the big saving in money and time making your own arrangements. This will be the only Journal excursion to the exposition; Send in your name for a folder giving detailed story of the trip and it will be a pleasure to send it. If you call at Th c Journal regarding tickets, please call between 8:15 and 9:15, 11:45 and 12:30, or 1:30 and 3 p. m. A. W.
