Aid. Sonborn Wants to Know the
Detail* of the Permliilon to Issue
Certificates of Indebtedness—The
Comptroller Rcfnses to Trn.nsfer
the Insurance Fund—Dr. Ohage'g
Action Passed to a Committee.
President Donahower and Aid. Knauft
were absent from the meeting of the
board of aldermen last evening and owing
to this the awarding of contracts for col
lecting and removing garbage was post
poned to an adjourned meeting to be held
Thursday night. The report of the com.
mittee on streets awarding the contracts
to the St. Paul Cartage company, M. J.
Meiiarity, George Brookins and A. Eng
land were referred back to the committee
on streets, to be called for when those
opposing Health Commissioner Ohage's
scheme have a sufficient number of votes
to push through the awards.
Dr. Ohage notified the board that as the
contracts with the garbage contractors
expired Sunday night he had, under a
section of»the charter, engaged men and
teams and the work was now b?ing d:ne
under his supervision. "Without discus
sion the communication was referred to
the committee on streets, which will hold
a meeting "this evening to consider this
and other matters.
Comptroller McCardy sent in an ordi
nance authorizing the Issuance of tax
levy certificates of Indebtedness to the
amcunt of 80 per cent of the tax esti
mate which was recently approved by the
conference committee and council.
Usually the' ordinance Is pass?d without
question, but when it had been read last
evening Aid. Sanborn asked that it b3
referred to the committee on streets. He
explained that there would be no delay in
the matter, as the beard would hold an
adjourned meeting Thursday right be
fore the assembly session and in his
opinion the ccmmltte? on streets should
examine the ordinance reported by Ihe
comptroller and check it up before piss
ing It. The ordinance was so referred.
Adolph Lando offered to pay $11.50 per
ton for the old iron of the Wabasha street
bridge, and as he was the highest of three
bidders the forty tons will be sold him.
Elds for a hew police alarm system
were opened and referred to the com
mittee on streets for tabulation. E. 13.
Stover offered to furnish a new system
for $22,953.50, and pay $2,425 for the pres
ent plan*. The Municipal Signal Sys
tem of Chicago offered a m w system for
$12,]?,5, and the Auto-Electric Company
of New York, offered a new system for
$16 ?0C net cash, or if payment was made
within six months, for $18,700, also agree
ing, under the last bid, to give ?2,500 for
the present plant.
The ordinance prohibiting women from
entering saloons was Indefinitely post
poned.
Comptroller McCardy notified the coun
cil that he could not make the transfer
of $30,000 from the insurance fund to the
school fund as directed by an ordinance
recently passed, as it was contrary to
the charter provision, which provided
that there should be no transfer from
one fund to-another. The communica
tion was ordered received and filed
Corporation Attorney Markham stated
that if he could find any authority for
the proceedings he would mandamus the
comptroller to make the transfer. The
taking of the matter Into the courts will
settle the question as to whether money
from the general fund can be taken for
the purpose of building and repairing
school buildings, or for the maintenance
of the school system.
F. E. Baker, attorney for Abraham
"Welsh, filed a petition asking the council
to reinstate his client on the police force
The matter was referred to the commit
tee on police. The bricklayers' union
asked that a practical bricklayer be
added to the force of inspectors In the
building inspector's department. The re
quest went to the committee on police.
The ordinance allowing the Edison Elec
tric Light company to use the streets to
bring In the electric current from Apple
River Falls was amended so as to allow
the line to come in on White Bear avenue
instead of Hazel avenue, the last men
tioned street not running to the city
limits.

The appointment of a successor to Ken
neth Clark, president of the fire board,
is being delayed by the mayor. Mr!
Clark's term as one of the five commis
sioners on the board expired Dec. 31.
When asked yesterday if he had reap
pointed Mr. Clark or named his successor
Mayor Kiefer replied: "I really have not
had the time to consider the matter of
appointing a fire commissioner. The law
says that the retiring member shall hWd
office until his successor is selected and
qualified and I expect to get around to
it in a day or two. Yes, there have been
a number of names mentioned for the
position, but I really could not tell you
just who the gentlemen who are willing
to serve are." .
Two weeks ago Mayor Kiefer appointed
J. C. Donahower as a member of the
water board to fill the unexpired term
of J. F. Hoyt, resigned. Mr. Hoyt's un
expired term ended Dec. 31, and yesterday
the mayor reappointed Mr. Donahowei
tor a term of four years.

AFTER SHORTHORNS.
State Fair Would Like a Grand Dual
Cattle Klmiv.
Secretary Randall, of the State Agricul
tural Bociety, is in correspondence with
the officers of the National Short Horn
association, with a view of securing the
national exhibit and sale for the next
state fair. Indications point to a success
ful arrangement for the attraction, as the
fair has already been awarded the next
annual exhibition of Herefords. The two
shows would bring upwards of 1,200 head
of th« finest bred stock in the world to
the fair. It is now proposed to join the
two greatest live stock associations In one
great exhibit, which, rogether with the
usual fair cattle, would bring the total
number of fancy stock on exhibition to
1,500. Under the present arrangement,
even if plans to secure the short horn
show do not materialize, fully 1,000 head
of stock will be exhibited. The short horn
association, it is said, has been offered in
ducements equal to those offered the
Hereford breeders, and Secretary Randall
stated last evening that the prospects for
securing the short horn show were good.
The two shows would bring stockmen to
the fair from all parts of the United
States.

NOTHING BUT FACTS.
No Deception Used in Talking
About Morrow's Kid-ne=o3ds.
The Arguments in Their Favor Come
From People Who Have Tested
Their -Merits.
There Is no deception In anything we
publish about Morrow* Kid-ne-oid3. All
our statements areo facts and are from
people right here In St. Paul. People in
all walks of life are 'OSing and recom
mending Kid-ne-oids because they cure
backache, nervousness,' sleep'essness and
general debility in cssc-m,where o her rem
edies have failed.
Mr. P. Nash, withsAdams Express com
pany, of 427 Mt. Idai street, says: "I am
satisfied that thereria no better remedy
than Morrow's Kid-ne-o:ds for kidney
troubles. I suffered "for a long time with
kidney backache. Ik was weak and felt
all out of sorts. I beaud about Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids and procured a package. I
used them according to directions and
they soon relieved me entirely of kidney
backache. They seem to tone up and in
vigorate my entire system. Kid-ne-oids
are all right and I take pleasure in rec
ommending them to others.
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pl'.ls, but

TO LOP OFF THE YEAR
SCHOOLS WILL CLOSE MAY 11 UN
LESS THE CITY'S MOWEY
BAGS OPEN
WANT THAT INSURANCE FUND
With That $30,000 the Institution*
May Be Kept Running: the Entire
Term—An Important Meeting o*
the Principals—A General Meeting
of the Association Called for Fri
day Afternoon.
Unless the $30,0000 Insurance money
tied up in the city treasury can be se
cured by the school board, the public
schools of the city will close May 11.
Supt. Smith, at a meeting of principals
held in the rooms of the Jefferson club,
made this announcement to the heads of
the teaching staff of the various high
and graded schools. If the money re
ferred to is made available the schools
will, with the exception of a portion of
a week, be left open the full school year.
The board of school inspectors will
meet this evening, when the matter of
finances will be talked over. Supt.
Smith and Secretary Healey have figured
the cost of running the schools on the
present basis, which includes no frills,
luxuries or additional buildings and very
little for the repair account, and the re
sult is that May 11 is the very latest date
which the schools can be kept open in
case no additional funds are secured by
the board.
A number of other matters, principally
routine, came up for discussion. President
Farnsworth announced that a general
meeting of the Teachers' association
would be held at^ihe Central high school
Friday afternoon at 4:15 p. m. At that
time the committee having in charge the
mandamus proceedings brought against
the city will make its report.
Supt. Smith announced that boxes for
the collection of funds with which to fur
nish the two public school rooms in the
new public library could be placed in
each school. - The school board is not fa
vorable to taking up collections in the
schools, as a general thing, for any pur
pose, but in this case the evil is miti
gated somewhat by the method employed
in collecting the funds. No one will know
what the other gives. The ladies of the
city who are furnishing the library will
assist the school children in fitting up the
two rooms. One will be maintained for
special use of the students, and the other
an exhibit room of school work.
Prof. Smith gave instructions regard
ing the examinations which will be held
in all the schools of the city at the close
of the present semester, Jan. 26. A com
mittee consisting of Prof. J. C. Bryant,
Prof. J. G. Donnelly, Miss Hand, Miss
McGrorty and Miss Miller was appointed
to arrange for the examinafion.
• * •
All departments of the public schools
opened yesterday, after a ten days' vaca
tion during the holidays. Supt. Smith
has completed his statistical report for
December, which shows a very large in
crease in attendance. The number en
rolled in 1899 was 1,149 more than 1898, and
the average daily attendance for 1899
2,107 greater.
The increase, while gratifying, la not
at all remarkable. It is largely accounted
for by the pleasant weather during the
month, which enabled even the smallest
children to attend regularly.
