PBEMIDMS FOR FARMERS i
STATE FAIR COMMITTEE DECIDES
OX IMPORT AXT INNOVATIONS.
Several Important changes were decided
upon at a meeting of the state fair com
mittee on revision" of "premiums held at
the Merchants" yesterday. The depart
ments dealt with were those of agricul
ture, horticulture; dairy, - poultry,l honey
and women's. All the changes were for
the purpose' of stlmnlating»interest in the
competitions, and' provoking keener ri
valry. ■i-:r .r.(.-Tr ■;•..-. .... ..
In the agriculture department the pro
rata premiums were increased from $1,200
to $1,500, and in addition six <*ash prizes
were added to be given to the six coun
ties making the highest"'s'cofe's. The
prizes will be: $200, $150, $100, $75, $:0, $25.
These are over and above the pro rata
awards and the-, couaty winning the first
added premium will therefore take down
a comfortable' %uftf^rf castr: * *•."■.*<
Another innovation, was the establish
ment of cash prizes for the buttormakera
of the county. ;scoringr«£\je* highest aver
age. There 1' will be the usual $000 to be
distributed pro.»rata among -exhibits
securing a- high, enough score,, but the

Questioned as to the possibility of an

it was impossible,; on- the present tour.

Asked whether Ire had intimated to the
officials of the railroad on which the ac
cident had occurred; that he would de
mand damages, Mr. Graff replied that
though this was a private matter ho
would say that he had taken no- steps in
this direction.
SIDE OF THE RAILROAD. I
At the offices of the Omaha yesterday
It was learned that a slight accident had
befallen the train on which the diva
was ridir.sr, a few-.miles.east..of Kirov,
Tuesday afternoon. The train had just
started from a station, when- the driving,
rod became disconnected, and. a delay
had ensued. Carelessness in placing a
Baker heater, in its place without ' first
ad.l '..sting the zinc sheet by which the
wood work is protected, had i resulted in '
the wood being slightly scorched, but
there was no fire on the train sufficient
to cause the slightest alarm. The of
ficials did not know that an accident had
taken place until .a. . communication had
been received from Mr. Graff, announc
ing that the St.- .Paul date had been
cancelled in consequence of one, and
that" he would expect damages. Inquiry
it the eastern end of, the road failed to
elicit any information of an "accident,"
and the incident is regarded as one of
those unavoidable occurrences which
sometimes, delay a train.
: SMITH IS RETICENT.
Rev. Dr. "Samuel G. Smith, at whose
church the .concert was to 'have' been
given, flatly declined, to discuss the mat
ter when seen at his residence , last
night, further than to say that the ad
vance sale of.seats was good. Asked as
to the amount of sale.-* he "declared it
was an impertinent^ question and refused
to give any information on that point.
■Ho was reminded of the fact. that In
some quarters it was rumored that the
sale of seats had not been large enough
and for this reason Mine; Sembrich had
refused to sing. ...o. -...-: ■ •
"That is not so," _ said the pastor.
"The sale of "seats was good, but that
has nothing to do with the matter. The
natural supposition is that Mmc Sem

- DISMISSES EVERY MEMBER. -

EMPLOYES GET SEVEEE SHOCK
Office Turned Over to the City Eu

Attached — Hurried Con
ferences Held.
Building Inspector Haas Is all that ia
Row left of the building department. He
dismissed every member of his staff yes
terday. Today will close his own con
nection with the office. It is, therefore,
up to the city engineer to reorganize this
branch of the city service today or as
scon as he feels disposed to do so.
It had been the intention of Mr. Haas
to allow the office force to remain un
disturbed, putting it up to the city en
gineer to make such- changes as he de
sired at such future time as he deemed
sdvisable. But after deliberation Mr.
Haas thought it would be more consid
erate to turn the office over to the city
engineer without any strings attached to
it. Those dismissed were:
Henry Smith, clerk.

Mr. Haas also formally notified Comp->
troller McCardy, Mayor- Smith and Cits 1
Engineer Claussen of his dismissal of thi
office force.
The action of Mr. Haas came as,a,
shock to some of his staff. Henry Smith
at once made a rush for Corporation At-,',
tcrney Griggs and the two went into ex
ecutive session. Mr. Smith has said that
Griggs had the city engineer's assurance
that Smith would be retained, but that
! was on the supposition that the office
force was to be gradually changed by Mr.
Claussen. Whether Griggs' pull Is strong
enough to secure Smith's "reappointment
was something the latteT began to worry
about as soon, as he had been formally'
dismissed."
H. E. Warner is the father of As
semblyman Warner. He is likely to be
reappointed.
There are others in the number, who,
leaving out of the question of political
pull, are entitled, It is said, to be given,
their old positions again on their merits
and length of service.
The department will now be run '
under the direction of the city engineer,
who has designated F. -W. Stoeg as tha
man to have immediate supervision of
the work. He is at present a street com
missioner and if he keeps up those dut
ies will have little time for office work,
in which case it would seem that some
man familiar with the plans of building
would have to be appointed fur inside
work. Such a man would probably be
asked to do what little bookkeeping there
is to do, in which case Mr. Smith may be
left in the cold. He Is a Jeweler, can
.keep books all right,*but unfortunately
is not skilled in the construction of build
ings. Still Frank Griggs says he is all
right and Griggs is the Dar Reese of
the city hall.

DECISION AUTHORIZING WORK ON
■ R.ICE, FROM OOMO TO FRONT,
'-. '.'. ' . IS DEFECTIVE}
CURBING WAS OVERLOOKED
Assistant Corporation Attorney- Dls
: covers the Mistake and Board
of Works Hold* Executive
■: • Session' Immediately.'. •
';' As the result of an opinion given to
City Engineer Claussen yesterday after
noon by the assistant corporation attor
ney, the board of public works will un
doubtedly have to amend the final order
for paving Rice . street, from Como to
Front streets, which passed both branch
es of the council last week, and the fun
of passing it will have to be gone all
i over again. ;
The final orders for the paving of Rica
street only provides that the curbing on
Rice street should be repaired with gran
ite where it was necessary, and when
the matter was investigated. It waa
found that Rice street, from Como to
Front streets, is only partly curbed, and
that part has been curbed with old lime
stone.
It is understood that this somewhat
puzzled the board of public works, and
they accordingly asked the corporation
as to whether they could legally let the
contract for paving and curbing this sec
tion. In his opinion, the assistant cor
poration attorney states that the final
orders for the paving of Rice street,
from College to University avenue, and
from University to Corao, are all right,
but that the final order for paving Rice
street, from Como to Front streets, is
fatally defective, on account of the pro
visions as to curbing, and will have to
be amended and passed by both bodies
of the council.
As soon as the opinion of the attorney
became known to the board of public
works a cdftsultation was Immediately
held. All the members of the board,
with the exception of Mr. Pottgieser,
were present, and City Engineer Claus
sen was immediately sent for. An execu
tive session of the board was held, at
which the attorney explained the situa
tion, and the matter was discussed be
hind closed doors until nearly 6 o'clock.
A peculiar feature of this secret session
was the fact that Mr. Robbins, superin
tendent for the Barber Asphalt com
pany, was present during the entire dis
cussion of this matter.
Had the board of public works gone
ahead without consulting the corpora
tion attorney and advertised for and
awarded the bids for this paving, it is
likely that more trouble would have
arisen. From the wording of the opinion
it looks very much as if the contract for
the paving of Rice street, from Como to
Front, had it been let. would have
been void, owing to the so-called defect
in the wording of the final order.
BELL'S HOPES BLASTED
JUDGE- JAGG van <..... ADM.IMSTISHS
DEATH- BLOW TO QUO. WAR
■ v RASTO PROCEEDINGS.
Judge Jaggard yesterday afternoon filed
with the clerk* of the district court his
'findings and memorandum In the quo
warranto proceedings -brought by M. J.
Bell to oust Michael J. Morlarty from
his seat In the«board" of ■ aldermen. -■ >■
i The findings, which practically dispose
of the j defective' charter theory, are ac
companied : by ■' ■ a length memorandum; ■
in which Judge Jaggard "holds: that Bell, ■■
by his prompt delivery to Moriarty of the
office now desired", r relinquished all claim
to It. He assisted in Mr. Mori;»-ty's in
auguration,' gave "him his desk and the
"keys to the'same,; and went before'the
[body to plead that he ,be allowed to have
it. . Bell, Judge -Jaggard- says; until the
present time, has not contested the seat
held Jby his successor, or. even made an
effort to prevent, the payment "of salary
accruing from the office.
: While not exactly an argument." Judge
Jaggard says it is not proper • that the ■
court should " set aside the legally express
i ed will of the people. The new charter did
i not repeal the old charter to the extent
; claimed. The re-enacted portions of the
Charter have never ceased to be laws.
When the new.charter was framed It was
hot the intention to antagonize the old.
There was no desire to cause friction that
would conflict with past established- cus
toms. The police department. 1 says the
court, was the only department of the
city that suffered radical changes.
CONLEY IS A CANDIDATE.

Patrick ConJey, formerly alderman of

a prominent Democratic politician, has
announced that he is a candidate for the
position of city and county assessor.
So far, Mr. Coiiley says, he lias had no
conferences with Mayor Smith or any
of th£ other officials with whom the ap
pointment lies, but he is willing to take
the- place if it is offered to him.

AGAINST CBILTON BILL
MEAT PACKER^ AND SHIPPERS IN
ARMS AGAINST IT.
Senator Ohilton's meat inspection bilL
has brought down upon itself the con
demnation of South St. Paul packers and
shippers, and also local butchers. The
St. Paul Union Stock Yards company has
drafted a petition to the legislature
which has been circulated over the state
for signatures, and will soon be present
ed, urging the defeat of the bill.
In the reasons set forth to establish
the pernicious effects of the bill, the pe
titioners relate that It would levy a total
charge for inspection fees' in this city of
$145,000 annually. r It states that the two
classes maltreated in this" way would be
the farmers, who .raise the live stock,
and the butcher and manufacturer who
buy and sell the : meat. It is claimed by
the petitioners ajso.that the bill, instead
of being a Step in tlie interest of state
health regulation would be the means of
creating offices for office seekers, some
of which would pay as much as $15,01)0 an
nually. It is a further menace in that
it Imposes a ruinous tax iipon farmers
and butchers, 0

Paul Un4on Ji S^ock...y,ai^l3 company, sr.ya
that if. the legislators persist in the at
tempt to. : fpster r -su^h laws...it will bank
rupt the tradesmen to,.oppose them and
result fin-ally in driving them out of the
industry which tljey ,a^e endeavoring to
build up in this locality. As. a. matter
of fact,, Gg9. .ftaj-S: the United
States inspection- laws are binding upon
the. manu£actur,eraand'other dealers, and
this inspection, which Is free of cost, is
the standard, whereas if the state inspec
tion, which th.c bdJ.l contemplates, were
maintained, cattle and other live stook
inspected und«;r it alone could not be ex
ported. The federal law would have to
be resorted to before any exportation
could be .carried, on, find this would, of
course, render the state Inspection ab
solutely useless.

WAR REVENUE' BlLl,.
The Republican conferees on the rev
enue reduction - bill have reported an
agreement on many of the items in con
troversy, in addition to thp.se on beer,
tobacco, bank check and medicines here
tofore given. The house provision re
pealing the tax on insurance policies, life
and fire, are retained. The senate pro
vision regarding conveyances of r«aj es
tate, etc.. is preferred over that of the
house, which made a complete repeal of
all taxes on conveyances. The senate
provision exempt? conveyances under ?2,
--500 and imposes a tax of 23 cents for each
$500 over 52,500. The numerous special
taxes on theaters, circuses and exhibi
tions are taken off as provided by th«!
house. Beside the compromise of U. 60
cents on tobacco, the cigarettes come in
for much discussion. But owing to some
question as to the rights of the con
ferees over this item, the rate on cigars
probably will remain at $3 per thousand.
The understanding thus far reached is
looked upon as likely to be final, al
though the conferees themselves say
that no formal agreement has yet been
arrived at, and it will not be until the
Democratic conferees are called in that
a final agreement can be made. In the
meantime the Republican members are
continuing their meetings on the various
Items still open, with this respect, that
the complete adjustment Is not far off.
The $3 rate on cigars is that fixed by
the house, and is a repeal of the entire
6C cents added for war purposes. The
senate proposition was to take oft* half
of the 50 cents, making the rate $3.30.
A new proposition has been agreed
upon as to steamship tickets, the tax be
ing fixed at 50 cents on each $50, and 25
cents on each additional 150. There will
be no tax on tickets under'|so.
VETERANS WON'T MARCH.
Veteran organizations of the Civil and
Spanish wars have officially declined to
participate in the Inaugural parade ou
March 4. The decision affects organiza
tions in the G. A. 8., the Union Vet
erans' union and the Spanish war vet
erans. The dissatisfaction of the vet
erans with the place assigned them in
the parade is responsible for today's ac
tion. It was their wish to act as the
personal escort to the president. Grand
Marshal Francis V. Greene assigned
them, however, to a position in the line
ahead of the civic organizations and fol
lowing 1 the national guard.
Gen. Daniel Sickles today notified Gen.
Greene that the veterans had declined to
participate in the parade, and tendered
his resignation aa marshal of the vet
eran division.
