The joint legislative committee of the County Auditors' and County Treasur ers' association, consisting of five mem bers of each body, held a joint meeting in County Auditor Johnson's office at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. No definite steps were taken, however, as it was deemed best not to do anything until they had some money to pay the ex penses of going ahead to secure the legis lation wanted by them. J. L. Meyer, treasurer of Morrison county, was elect ed chairman; E.- J. Miller, auditor of Big Stone county, secretary; Charles _!•'. Serline, treasurer of Serline count*, treasurer. - ,: Questions in regard to securing better laws governing the . work' of county auditors and treasurers were discussed' for a few minutes. It was decided that in order to do the work before them in an effective way county auditors and, treasurers in the state would be asked to contribute $2 each. It was also decided to pay the secretary of the committee something, as he would have a great deal of work on his hands in the me of correspondence and other matters. The" joint committee will meet again In the near future. -.7:777'- - . -* ADDITION TO CIT¥ BATHS plans are prepared BY * city BUILDING INSPECTOR-: Building Inspector Haas yesterday fur-' nished Dr. Ohage a sketch of the plans that he is preparing for the proposed addition to the public baths on Harriet island.

The whole will be surmounted by a tower of handsome design. The capacity of the. baths, in the event that the addition is built, will be doubled.

Levis ton graced the occasion with his pres ence, and at -the; close of. the even-ng's programme spoke -a few encouraging words of advice to the parents concern ing the selection** of heading matter for their children. He said, in part: .''l. have been entertained by the speak era before me and gathered a few scat tering ideas thai "may do me good in the future. I always like, these family me?t ings, as it were,"'because they give par ents the opportunity of becoming ac quainted with thfc' teachers of their chil dren, and vice versa; "Most of the talk this evening has been about books. I think great care should be exercised in the selection of books for children. Simple, healthy, easily understood books- are the kind you want. I remember when 1 was a child I had 'Little Women' read to me. I remember it as well as 1 rememl,?r any thing from that time. It is no unirnpert ant matter —this selection of books for children—so keep iii mind that, «yh -<\ you are going to buy a book for your little girl -*or boy you have a chance to better him or her mentally and morally. Take advantage of thai chance." - . . The superintendent then advised th.> parents to buy the l>ooks of Longfellow, Whlttier and -ethers of the standard American poets or novelists. Miss S. C. Brooks read a paper cri "Child Reading." A paper written by Mrs. Hyde on "Reading" ; was read by Miss Alice" Hyde. Miss Signa Dab! en tertained those present with a solo. Messrs.

Almost instant ly both men flourished revolvers and frightened some 'of 'th? female passen gers sick.

Work Done in Last Two Years. Public Examiner Pope has completed his biennial report. He has'forwarded it to Gov. Lind, before sending it to the printers. The report covers many type written sheets and tells a number of in teresting things.. Mr. Pope states in the beginning of the report that it was early found, after he came into office, that. there had been a general neglect of the provisions of the "accounting Act," chapter 2G9, Gen eral Laws 1889, entitled, "An act to es tablish a uniform system of accounting for public funds in the state educational, charitable and correctional institutions and to appropriate miscellaneous re ceipts for the use of said institutions." Not a single institution was in accord with the provisions of the act,- .and,, while some had an intelligible and ac curate system of accounting, others had imperfect and faulty methods, and there was no pretense of 'uniformity. Not a single official of those who are required by law to give bonds had on file a bond which met the approval of the attorney general for form and execution: A uniform system of' 0 regis ters ' and -orders, 1 cash ' books and ledger accounts with" the sev eral funds' appropriated by the state/ was prescribed and, with but one excep tion, has been put into effect. The re sult is that every superintendent, treas urer and 'accounting officer has been properly elected and legally bonded." Their financial records are Kept on a system which, while not conflicting with the requirements of the board of correc tions and charities is uniform and intelligible, insuring accuracy and sim plicity, while effecting a mateiial saving in clerical labor. If, hereafter, liabilities shall be in curred in excess of the amounts appro priated, it will not be for the lack of knowledge on the part of officials or managing boards. Large sums of money heretofore held out, without war rant of law, have been transferred to the slate treasury. The duties of the in stitution treasurers have bsen confined to the limits prescribed by section 3 of the accounting act, and they have been relieved from keeping the accounts and records of the institutions, which work is now performed by the accounting of ficers, as "by law required.. Following precedents and, in some cases, suggestions from the public ex aminer's department, the managing boards of state institutions have, as a rule, elected banks as institution treas urers. Mr. Pope has suggested time and time again that, wherever practica ble, state banks should be chosen as in stitution treasurers, but only one in stitution has so far adopted the sugges tion. State banks should be chosen be cause they are created and are incor porated under the state laws, because they are specially under the supervision of a department of the state, maintained for the purpose of -securing for the state and for all depositors accurate knowl edge of their financial condition, because all deposits of state funds'in state' banks are, by virtue of provisions of law. made preferred claims. The regents of the University of Min nesota selected a state bank as insti tution treasurer. The other institutions selected national banks. GOOD NEWS FOR CONVICTS BOARD OF PARDONS REDUCED. SEV- KRAI. SENTENCES YESTERDAY. At a meeting of the board of. pardons in the state capitol yesterday afternoon the twelve-year sentence of Carl Kreft was commuted to ten years, which will enable the board to parole him. Kreft was sentenced from Martin county Nov. 29, 1836. He was convicted for man slaughter in the second degree. John Quinn, Minneapolis, was given a conditional pardon. The conditions are that he forever refrain from the use of intoxicating liquors, and that he report to the state prison, as do parole prison ers. Quinn was sentenced from Hen nepin county, Jan. 28, 1894, to state prison for twenty-two and one-half years for assault in the first degree, robbery in the first degree and escaping from custody. The case of "William Lenz, which hag been under consideration for some time, was further considered yesterday, but nothing was done. Pinal action may. soon be taken. Lenz was sentenced from Blue Farth county, April 17, 1890, to be hung. His sentence was commuted by Gov. Merriam May 2, 1891, to impris onment for life. He was convicted of murder In the first degree. GETTING HEADY TO MOVE. Register of Deeds Says His Succes- ssr Will Not <.<■< Wealthy.

Hamilton was arraigned be fore. Judge Simpson yesterday morning on the charge-of murder in the first de gree. 7 -■ . Hamilton gave rib" need' to the crowd and when his name was called walked leisurely to the clerk's desk. He listened calmly while the clerk read the indict ment couched in its legal language and reciting that ■rh * Safid Frank H. Ham ilton had "feloniously, wrongfully and knowingly, with a weapon commonly known as a knife, by stabbing, cutting and thrusting, etc., caused the death of Leonard R. Day against the peace and dignity of the state and the statutes in such case made and provided." And there was much more. - "Are you guilty or not guilty?" in quired Clerk Royce after completing the reading of the document. Hamilton, who had listened quietly, sail! nothing, but Robert L. Penney has tened to ask for leave to hold Hamilton's plea until Dec. 20. This was satisfactory ~ to County At torney Reed, and Mr. Hamilton will be allowed until next Thursday to enter a plea. Hi has,"-of course, no intention of pleading guilty, but it is doubtless Mr. Penney's-purpose to examine the docu ment very carefully with the object of finding some flaws which will permit him I to demur to the indictment. ! Fred 11. Boardman, who will have the responsibility of trying the Hamilton I case, was an interested spectator at the i proceedings. After the Hamilton arraignment a I large number of jail piiscneis wei« | brought forward to listen to the in- j dictments. Seven cf the nine arraigned ! promptly pleaded guilty. This was ! gratifying for Mr. Boardman, as it would ; undoubtedly fail to his lot to try all in case the men decided to tight. The one who attracted most attention was Henry Sherman, who _._hot Belie ! Benson while in a fit of jealous anger. i He pleaded guilty, but insisted on having j an attorney. \ .The two men who intend to make the , state prove the accusations of the grand i jury were George Donald, arrested for [attempting to rob Edgar C. Green, and Joseph Felick,.accused of robbing Joseph I-,. Laurler of £.5. The trials of these men were set for Dec. 17.

Several Minnesota ministers were inter j viewed yesterday upon Archbishop Ire- ' I land's defense of the army canteen before I a congressional committee in Washing- j j ton. The inquiry resulted in many cx i pressions of approval and requests that I the speaker be not quoted for fear of pos- j : sible opposition on the. part of m_-mbjrs j of their congregations. In the main they expressed the opinion i ! that they believed the St. Paul prelate • i knew whereof he spoke, and many coin- i j cided with his statement that " t is u-e- | less to try to prohibit absolutely the v c . of liquor. If you tsy to be too severe and do away with it altogether in the a:ni7, the men will find it in ways that are ille gal and harmful." FINERAL, OF A SOLDIER. Late .'

RECORD IN CITY BUILDINS THERE WERE MA XV PERMITS LAST YEAR AT SMALL COST. While building operations In St. Paul the present year have not been as ac tive as previous years, in as far as the amount expended is concerned, yet the; number of permits issued by the building inspector will be greater in number. Bast year the amount expended iii building operations in St. Paul was $2,597,488, while the amount this year will reach a figure in excess of this. Build ing permits for the erection of cottages and minor repairs to present structures have been numerous and to this is cred ited the increase in the number over last year. December, it is thought, will yet see the issuance of some heavy permits, among the number scheduled to expand In this direction being the Cudahy Pack ing company, the TowTe Syrup company and the Northern Pacific railroad. Sev eral big warehouses are also contem plated. -«3ff^ — CALLED ON THE COUNTESS. Has Long; Played the Same Rules Ens:. h>- EU'lenu.
