LIND CALLS A HALT GOVERNOR WARNS THE STATE BOARD OF HEALTH THAT ECONOMY IS NEEDED OVERDRAFTS TO BE CUT OFF One of the Annual Custom* of the Board In to Be Put a Stop to— Special Meetings of the Board Called lo Dlmcuiui Needed Reforms Retrenchment In Expenditures Must Be Made. A special meeting of the state board of health has been called by Gov. Llnd, to bring about a belter understanding be tween the governor and the board regard ing the latter's method of bookkeeping;. The report of a recent investigation of the accounts of the board by Bank Ex aminer Pope has bi-en placed in the hands of the governor, and the board will be called upon to make an explanation of \ certain extravagant expenditures, which | appear as a matter of record. All the funds of the board pass through the secretary, Dr. H. M. Bracken, who was recently requested to turn over all money in his possession to the state treas ury. In the past it has been the custom of the secretary to keep on hand moneys paid the board for services instead of turning them over to the state treasurer. Tho request did not meet with the favor of the secretary, and It was not until Dr. Bracken had written several, ill-natured letters to the public examiner that he ac ceded to the request. The report arranged by Gen. Pope from tho books of the auditor covers a perloJ of several years, and shows a deficit at tho conclusion of each year— that Is, the account of the board with the state had been overdrawn a couple thousand dol lars. This custom of overdrawing ac counts with the state is one which Gov. Lind is thoroughly Investigating, and a similar report has been prepared by the j bank examiner upon every other state j board and institution in the state. Dr. Bracken was the last of all the ac counting officers to comply with the re quest of the bank examiner for certain Information and an accounting as to funds on hand. It was at the instance of Gov. Lind that Gen. Pope made a request for the desired information. Of all the state boards it is said that none has on its pay roll as many high- Balaried officials as the board of health. The charge has been made that the board is most extravagantly run. and seems to be substantiated by the monthly expense. In the statement of last month's ex penditures an item of $25 paid for drafting a legislative bill appears. Another bill appears which has been disallowed by State Auditor Dunn, for $316 rendered by the Pioneer Press company for publishing a part of the annual report of the secre tary. The report should have been printed out of the general printing fund, but owing to the shortage the secretary was notified that It would not be printed. In the face of this a portion of the re port was printed and the expense charged up to the general appropriation, helping to make the deficiency. At present the timount to the credit of the board will not pay expenses until the end of the fiscal year, July 31. Unless there is a decided retrenchment the board will have to sus pend business for a while next summer, ns no overdrawn accounts will go with the state auditor. Another item of expense which appears In the expense statement Is that of $100 per month for a man to test samples of •water submitted to the board, properly tlhe work of those In charge of the bac- department. MOIRNED HIS HELPMEET. Capt. Cook Soon Followed His Wife to the Grave. Capt. Alonzo Cook died yesterday af ternoon at his home, 33 College avenue, after an illness of three days. Capt. Cook had two brothers and two Bisters, who are still alive. J. B. Cook, of St. Paul; Mrs. Mary Ives, of Detroit; Myron B. Cook, of Peoria, and Mrs. Arch ibald Warren, of Owatonna, Minn.

Cook- was born in Cayuga coun ty, New York, Oct. 10, 1825, and came to St. Paul in 1856. He went up the river and built the town of Champlain, oppo site Anoka, and lived there until 1860, ■when he went into the steamboat busi ness on the Mississippi river. At one time he lived in a house at the site of the Davidson building, Fourth and Jack son. At one time he managed the Moffat hmis-e, and later changed it to the War ren house, after his brother-in-law, who lived at Owatonna. ""Better the Feet Slip Than the Tongue/ Slips of any kind are to be deplored, but there is one slip Nature never forgives. It is the carelessness of ig noring the signal that the body is in danger of wreck. It may be that the kidneys or the stomach or the head gives the warning sign. But remember, the blood feeds every organ of the body* Make no slip, but first tone up the system through the blood, and health will surely follow.

ON. No Date Set for the Board of Public Works to Get Together. The deadlock in the board of public works is still on and no attempt was made yesterday to break It; no one about the city hall is able to predict with any degree of certainty when it will be broken, and the members of the board themselves are not giving out any hope of such a consummation. Important business has been postponed until tomorrow, and the chances are that it will have to be continued again to some future time. Mr. Sandell said yesterday that he was prepared to vote for W. L. Wilson for city engineer, and Mr. Mabon would be pleased tc see Mr. Rundlett re main in the position. The two new members, Messrs. Ames and Pottgieser, will not indicate their choice, which is considered an indica tion that the mayor has not made up their minds yet. They have said that the mayor desires to offer the position to his choice, then send the name to the board and have It approved; as things now stan dhe cannot offer any one the position with the certainty that he will ba appointed, and, if the mayor intends sticking for the big show, there will be no new city engineer before next March. Oscar Clausen is the latest person named for the office, but it looks as if Oscar would have to go get a reputation as a good waiter before he will be quali fied to wait for the engineership. adminisiratoFgembe is out JIDGE HV/.11.1.r RELIEVES HIM OF THE CARE OF THE GEMRE ESTATE Action Said to Be Due to the Con dition of the Helm John L. Wagner Appointed tiuardian of the Children. Probate Judge Bazille yesterday ac cepted the resignation of Francis C. Gembe as administrator of the estate of Francis H. Gembe, deceased, and granted a petition for the appointment of a guar dian for John A. Gembe, Mary Gembe and Albert Gembe, minor children of Mrs. Lena Gembe. John L. Wagner was named as guardian. Mrs. Gembe and her children are heirs to the estate, which consists of over $20, --000 in real and personal property. Gembe, who Is a son of Francis M. Gembe by a former marriage, has had the custody of the property, while Mrs. Gembe and her three small children are said to have been In destitute circumstances at their home, at 561 Pine street, and dependent on the charity of the neighbors for fuel. The administrator was brought into court on an order to show cause why the necessities of the widow had not been relieved, and why he had failed to pay a monthly allowance of $35, ordered by the court in 1894. He filed an accounting on the order of the court, and yesterday resigned the ad ministratorship. The petition for the ap pointment of a guardian was filed by Gebhard Willrich, as attorney for Mrs. Gembe, to protect the rights of the chil dren in the estate. The hearing on the accounting was set for March 27, and then the court may or der the sale of a part of the real estate for the benefit of Mrs. Gembe and the children, whose necessities were origi nally brought to the attention of the court by Humane Agent Moak. RENVILLE COUNTY EXCITED. Gov. Mini Ma>- Be Aaked to Veto Salary Repeal Bill. The passage of H. F. 500, repealing the Renvllle county salary law, has caused a general expression of indignation from the Renville county people, from the fact that the bill was put through by Repub lican legislators who had gone on record as being opposed to any change in the county salary law. The proposition was one of the hot local issues at the last election. The Democrats claim their convention went on record as favoring the present system of paying the sal aries of county officials. Ac few days later a circular was issued, signed by every Republican on the ticket, supple mented with big headlines, "A Lie Nailed; Warning to Voters; Reply to Democratic Roorback," asserting that the statement that the Republicans were in favor of repealing the law was false and of Dem ocratic origin. The circular. In flaming type, put the entire Republican county ticket on record as being in favor of al lowing the law to stand. The bill was passed a few days ago by both Jiouses, and was fostered by Repre sentative Peterson. Bad faith is being charged of the Re publican delegation from the district, and even the Republicans are thoroughly disgusted with the breach of faith on the part of Mr. Peterson. There is a strong probability that Gov. Lind will veto the bill. A delegation is expected from Renvllle Monday after noon to present the facts to the governor as they exist. DIED AT HIS WORK. Frederick Blanck Die* at the Mc- Millan Packing House. m Frederick Blanek, a butcher at the packing house of McMillan & Co., on the upper levee, dropped dead at his work yesterday afternoon. Heart failure Is supposed to have been the cause. Blanek was a German and lived with his wife and three children, the oldest seven years, at 538 Charles street. He has been a resident of the city for fifteen years. He was employed as a butcher by the racking company and had a killing pen on the upper floor, where he struck the pigs with a hammer and then bled them with his knife before they are transferred to the r6oms below. He was alone at the time of his death and some of his fellow workmen, noticing that there was no further squealing from the killing pen, went to see what was the matter. Blanek lay dead on the floor. The body was taken to the county morgue in the ambulance and is held for burial there. A post mortem will be held tomorrow. Blanek was a member of the Sons of Hermann. A LA THE WINDSOR. Spark Ignited Curtains, but Einil Onet Put It Out. Emlle Onet, the well known vocal In structor, was severely burned last Fri day night in an effort to extinguish a blaze in his apartments at the Albion. A nurse In attendance upon Mrs. Onet struck a match to light a lamp and ac cidentally a spark of burning sulphur dropped on some draperies. In a minute tho soft curtains were all in a blaze. Mr. Onet was called and upon entering the room at once grasped the burning dra peries and attempted to smother the blaze with his hands. He was success ful, but was severely burned before the blaze was extinguished. SHOES WENT TO CANTON. Police at Work on the Weber or Thomas Snlctde. Detective Campbell yesterday received word from Hanan & Co., of Brooklyn, to whom he wrote for information as to where the shoes worn by the suicide, sup pesed to be T. J. Weber or T. Thomas, were bought, received an answer yester day telling him that the shoes mentioned were apart of a lot sent to the firm of L. V. Bockius & Co., ©anton, O. Word has also been received from the Stein & Bloch Co., of Rochester, N. V., concern ing the overcoat belonging to the sui cide, but they -were unable to give any information of value, without additional facts.

POPE TO INQUIRE INTO THE RUMORS THAT CERTAIN RED Wl\<l OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN GETTING "RAKE-OFFS" TRAINING SCHOOL DOINGS They Are to B« Carefully Looked Into, and Some One's Head May Drop Into the Basket Before the Pnblle Examiner la Done With the Matter Gov. Llnd Gave the Board a Hint. Public Examiner Pope yesterday re ceived the following communication from A. E. Willard, secretary of the Minne sota state training school for boys and girls: "At a special meeting of the board of j managers of the Minnesota state train ing school, held March 16, 1599, the fol lowing resolution was unanimously adopted : "Whereas certain complaints in re gard to the marnigement of the Minne sota state training school for boys and girls have come to the knowledge of this board. Therefore, be it "Resolved, That we earnestly request >lon. E. M. Pope, public examiner of the state to make, at an early date, a spe cial and thorough investigation and ex amination of all departments of this institution, covering the general work of the school, its financial management, prices paid for supplies, salaries paid and everything in connection therewith and submit a full detailed report of the result of such examinations to his excellency, Gov. Lind." It was reported a few days ago that certain officials had been getting a "rake off" from contracts for giving preference in purchasing supplies for the school. Gov. Lind was advised of the matter fully a month before the facts were stat ed in The Globe, and after an investi gation expressed himself in no uncertain terms about the matter He told the of ficials of the school tnat if they were right prompt they could invite the bank examiner in, and save him the trouble of doing it. The board acted promptly upon the governor's suggestion, with the result given above. GRIMSHAW TAKES CHARGE. Nevr I'nlted State* Manhal and His Force IU-Rii: Their Work. United States Marshal Grimshaw took his oath of office yesterday and the new office force spent the day in becoming acquainted with the details of the office work. In an interview Mr. Grimshaw said: My St. Paul force will consist of four deputies— Stephen J. Picha, of St. Paul; Timothy J. Sheehan, of St. Paul; C. A. Nimocks, of Minneapolis, and a male ste nographer not yet selected. Mr. Picha comes highly recommended, and along with his tine clerical abilities he brings youth and vigor to the office. He will occupy the place so ably filled by J. M. Redding, and will be known as the general office man. In my absence he will answer all questions. Mr. Sheehan will continue to act as heretofore. He has been in the office so long that his services are rather essen tial to any newly appointed marshal. Ha enjoys an extended acquaintance and is generally well liked. His knowledge of proceedings will be of great value to me. I have raised hiß salary and he will act as an all around deputy throughout the state. C. A. Nimocks, of Minneapolis, stands second to no man in the Northwest as an expert accountant; as an addition to the force he is certainly a great acquisition. He can unravel anything, no matter how complicated in the line of bookkeeping. He will help Mr. Picha in the office and assist Mr. Sheehan In the field. I wish it distinctly understood that I have no first deputy. They all draw the same salary and are equal in rank, In regard to the field deputies, I have not had time to consider them individually. I have re quested them all to continue in the serv ice until they are reappointed or suspend ed by me. The public good requires delib eration in each case before any change is made. I wish to add that it will be my am. bition to extend the same courtesy lo my successor that Richard T. O'Connor has shown to me. In fact, the retiring force have all taken great pains to make my entrance into this office agreeable and pleasant, and have instructed my depu ties as much as possible in the ditties of the office. T. J. Monahan, the deputy at Duluth, was tendered a reappolntment, but re fused. His successor has not yet been decided upon. WHERE IS LASOIETTEI Centervllle Man Who Disappeared Three Weeks Ago. J. Lanouette, of Centerville, called at the central police station last evening for information regarding his brother, George N. Lanouette, who left his home in Centerville three weeks ago, intending to come to St. Paul. He was seen in this city a week ago, but since then his relatives have been unable to find any trace of him. He is thought to be a vic tim of mental aberation, induced by family troubles. For several weeks previous to his leav ing his home, he manifested signs of se rious mental trouble, and his actions were unusual and strange. This has led his family to fear that he may have taken his own life. Mr. Lanouette visited the county morgue and viewed the bodies the;t>, but stated that he found none re sembling his brother. The missing man was well known to the brickmakers of the city, and is described as five feet seven in height, light complexion, mus tache, forty-four years old and speaks English with a foreign accent. IM3II£SN4)K& are not more deadly than the millions of disease germs that are floating in the air we breathe and in the water we drink — germs of typhoid fever, malaria, con sumption. Compared to a disease germ, a rattlesnake is a gentleman. He is a fair fighter. He tells yon to look out. He rattles before he strikes. You have a chance to fight or run. The disease germ sneaks in. It comes while you are sleeping. It gains an entrance to the blood. It propagates there. It multi- Elies. In a few hours, or days, your lood is full of its children — millions of them. They go all over your body seek ing a weak spot. They don't rattle — they strike. You feel listless, nerveless, sluggish, feverish, and maybe you're flat on your back before you really know there is anything the matter. The only way to keep out disease germs — to keep from being sick — is to keep your blood pure and rich, and your liver active and healthy. Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery, the greatest tonic in the world, will do it. Charles H. Sargeant, of Plain City, Madison Co., Ohio, writes: " During the summer and fall of 1896 1 became all ' run-down,' nerves were out of order and stomach out of order. I wrote to Dr. Pierce for advice. He said I had general debility, and advised Dr. Pierces Golden Medi cal Discovery. Since I stopped taking it about one year ago, I have not taken any medicine of any kind, and have been able to work every day. My appetite is good, I can eat three square meals a day, and I do not feel that miserable burning in the stomach after eating. My blood and serves are in good shape."

"JAKE'S" AIM IS HIGH MARC ANTONY OF THE HOUSE TRY ING TO TALK HIMSELF HIGHER WANTS THE GOVERNORSHIP So Do Loren W. Collins and Robert G. Evans, and'Tbey Dot Say That Robert C. Dunn Would Not Be Averse to Wearing the 1,1 ts a Leather-Cushioned Rocker After 1900. It is said that Representative Jacob son's ambition is not to fill Bob Dunn's shoes two years hence, but to be gov ernor. There is a well proven adage that "There is always room at the top" and ever since coming to St. Paul as a legis lator from his obscure home in Northern Minnesota, Mr. Jacobson had had this in mind. No one appreciated its sig nificance better than Jacobson, and now it is said on good authority that "The alarm clock" ia grooming for the gub ernatoiial race two years hence. Mr. Jacobson has served in several legislatures, but he has never taken as prominent a part,: and as bold a stand on many measures as during the present ses sion. He has beeo- : regarded as one of the coming strong men in the Republican ranks, and his name has been mentioned in connection with the state auditorship on many occasions: But Jacobson is Bly, and shrewd. Some of the party v ou!d be {,'lad if he would commit himself, and there has been a greats deal of speculation among party men as t£ his position. The legislature has always been the political school for future success and Jacobson has been measuring noses with the other members of that, body of late, and has found that he just about had things his own way. • * » There is perhaps no man - who has watched all of this of late with as great an interest as Judge Collins. Judge Col lins would rather be governor than any thing else in the world, and his appear ance around the legislative halls recent ly is evidence that he is not even allow ing the more remote fences of his baili wick to go unattended. He has been In the lobby of the state house off and on with great frequency. In short, Collins and Jaccbson are playing a game of hide and seek around the legislative nursery room. Collins is an out and out candi date for governor. He has said so and every one knows it. The ink on Gov. Linds oath of office was hardly dry last fall when he made an attempt to get Into the good graces of the old soldiers "Anti- Eustis club without much success. Since then he has quietly been at work among his friends who, it can be said, constitute the best element ->f the Republican party, and he is daily growing in favor with that wing of the grand old party. But Jacobson while not an out and out can didate, has the advantage and is in every way possible making himself solid with the country delegations. He has fought all the corporate measures this session nnd has taken the part of the taxpayer in evsr*r tontroversy where there was a chance for him to got In a few bars of his yoriferous oratory. Judge Collins has observed this with no little displeasure, but the fact that he is an out and out candidate gives him license to do a little" more work in his behalf. He has' to date made but one deal, but it is one wpich will add great ly to his strength. , For a starter Judge Collins proposes' to ' nominate H. W. Childs for chief.' Justice of the supreme court to succeed J.iidgje Start. Of course, Judge Start's frj£nds,"wlll raise a small sized insurrection; 1 Irf, their part of the country, but it don'C. count as Collins" don't expect to get his strength from that locality anyway. Collins all the\ I! while is figuring with other Republican^ anld he will probably have the deal to get' himself nominated all fixed up by July, 1900. It is an oppn question, however, whether his early campaign will not suffer the same fate that_came to Samuel Ryan Van Sant. • • • Incidentally, however, Mr. Jacobson should not overlook tlte presence In the ranks of one of the most alert and sagacious Republican politicians of the state, Robert G. Evans. While Robert G. realizes to the full the political prestige of keeping one's self before the public and one's parti', yet he is not a spectacular laurel-chaser. Bob hasn't bowled any corporations down the ten-pin alleys of legislative reverber ation, like some of the members from Lac gui Parle, nor has he lectured on the Moors in Spain nor even the con quest of Granada, as was the wont of some of the old 1898 school of Republican leaders, but at the same time Bob has made his name and his rotund presence familiar in a large part of the state kind of helping out the local Republican club when it wanted to get up a meeting at Miller's cross roads, or dropping in for Decoration day or the Fourth of July, where there happened to be a few good Republicans who could be clustered to gether and a few political leaders Joll.'ed along after the meeting. Of course, it was always hard for him to get away from his law practice, he said, for he rep resented one of the biggest law firms in the Northwest. There were four part ners and few of the others have more than three. But the other three had to work so much harder, and Bob went out saving the country, and after he "had been national commltteeman and ward boss of Kenwood for several years, somehow or other he came to be appointed district attorney for this district. There is just work enough there, you know, to keep him from getting rusty on his law books, and thus disqualify himself for a possible future circuit judgeship or something, and meantime, Robert has looked over the field with a powerful glass. And Rob ert has confided to one or two of his friends that he thinks he can detect in dications of an Evans boom in the dis tance. Needless to say, too, Bob did not squint his eye at this either, for the gov ernorship would not, necessarily, block him out of the life long judgeship he ha 3so long set his heart on. A few of the Republicans who like to gather in a St. Paul hotel and fancy themselves leaders of their party, got to gether a few days ago and stamped the Evans boom O. K. ♦ • • But The Globe has not been informed whether Tarns Btxby has wired back his O. K. or not. And there are not a few Republicans in the state who believe that when the next Republican gubernatorial nominee in this state Is presented the voice of Tarns Blxby will be heard In the Inner councils. Maj. Bowler, of the dairy and food com- i mission, was not speaking idly when, in his recent interview, he said that he meant to enforce the pure food laws. He felt, as a citizen, as others have, that the most serious defect in the execution of these laws was the lack of frequent publicity. The result of Inspections and chemical analyses were not given to the public. They were printed once In two years in the biennial report of the com mission, which few read. If Borne curi ous inquirer did read the tables and find that his baking powder contained alum or his vinegar was anything but pure cider, or his butter was only oleo, or his honey was glucose, he would ba told by his dealer or the maker that those practices had been discontinued, and that now only the genuine articles were put out. But they aren't. The same old tricks are played off upon an unsuspect ing public. So the major has decided to put the press of the state upon his staff of in spectors and through it make public, each week the analyses made by the chemists of the department of food prod ucts, either taken by his inspectors or sent In by retailers or private indi viduals. The statements will give the article, its brand, the name of the maker and the finding of the chemist. He is of the opinion that this exposure to "the fierce light that beats upon a throne" will have more of a deterrent effect upon the makers of spurious goods than will occasional arrest and punishment of un fortunate and, usually, innocent retail ers. IT IS A LAW. Somerville Bill Was Signed by the Governor Yesterday. Gov.

SOLOJVS AS STUDENTS STATE LEGISLATORS SPENT YES TBRDAY INSPECTING STATE EXPERIMENTAL FARM SAW THE RIBBONED STOCK Profs. Shaw and Haecker Paraded Beef Dairy Cattle In a Prize Com petition, and then Their Sugges tion* as to How Much Better the School Could Do With a Larger Appropriation. Yesterday was a day off ■with the Solons, who took a junket to the state experimental farm over its snow-covered walks and through the various buildings, where the farmers' boys and girls alike are instructed in the arts of modern and scientific farming. The visit was made under the guidance of Dean William M. Liggett, who was loquacious upon all subjects from the commercial value of a leg of mutton" to the ancestry of the bugs in Prof. Lug ger's collection. The legislative party, in cluding about a score from each house and twice as many from the third house, took Mr. Lowry's air line at 9:30 and were landed at the port of St. Anthony Park thirty minutes later. Large busses met the party, and with the sun shining brightly upon the fields of snow, the law makers and others enjoyed this part of the excursion immensely. The visitors were shown all over the grounds. Some took special interest In the stables, others in the dairy depart ment, and the ladies of the party ex pressed great interest in the ladies' hall and its appointments. The laundry, cook ing, sewing and all other departments of domestic science were the center of at tention given by tho dozen or more ladies accompanying the Junketers. Dean Liggett conducted the visitors to | dairy hall, and seated them around the live stock amphitheater, where were trotted out samples of r|ie ribbon cattle for the inspection of the law-makers. Dean Liggett Introduced Prof. Shaw, who told the visiting group of law-makers all about stock raising and how and why the graduates of the institution were never humbugged into buying cattle with fatty degeneration of the heart. More cows were brought in. These cows were rivals of the others, and were coached by Prof. Haecker. The difference was that Prof. Haecker's bovines were in this world for the purpose of raising but ter, milk and cheese, while the mission in life of Prof. Shaw's cows was to fur nish the army with better beef than It has been getting. Prof. Haecker enlightened the members of the legislature as to the value of the dairy Interests of Minnesota. The value of the annual output of dairy products in the state was over $20,000,000. This wat only a fraction of what might be had if the legislature would provide more money so as to allow instructors from the dairy college to travel about, giving instruc tion at the creameries. Prof. Hayes told about farming, the care and management of crops, and said that in many counties the past few years there had been a wonderful falling off in mortgage foreclosure sales, because the farmers had stopped raising wheat and had gone to making butter. From dairy hall the visitors w«nt to the gymnasium, where Miss Kiehle put a class of fifty young and healthy women through some calisthenics. After making a round of all that was to be seen on the grounds, the party as sembled in the lecture room, where a number of speeches were made by legis lators and members of the faculty. Dean Liggett spoke for the faculty. Representa tive Staples, Lieut. Gov. Smith and oth ers responded cordially. FEAR OF FLOODS. United States Engineer* Are Prepar ing for High Stage of Water. The United States engineers are mak ing preparations for a very heavy flow of water when the Mississippi river breaks up. The headwaters are frozen, but indications all point to an unusually high river when the Ice breaks. There is not, however, felt to be danger of such floods as are reported from Wash ington to be imminent. Maj. Abbott is now in St. Louis, but his assistants.. say there is no danger to be anticipated from the river this spring, though It may rise higher than it did last year. 8 Knox Hat Opening— Knox Hats Are Supreme in Style and Quality.
