SECURES FAT CONTRACT
ST. PAUL FIRM TO SUPPLY RURAL
SCHOOL LIBRARIES.
At a meeting of the state library
board which comprises Supt. Olson, of
the department of public instruction and
the presidents of the various normal
schools, the contract for furnishing books
for the libraries of the rural state puD
lic schools was awarded to the St. Paul
Book and Stationery company. For this
purpose the state appropriates $^2,500 a
year and the school districts add an equal
amount, making $25,000 a year, and as
the contract is for two years, it provides
for an expenditure of $50,000.
The books are select* by the respective
schools, but must chosen from a
catalogue of books which have been ap
proved by the board. The former cata
logue contained 2,002 publications and at
its last two meetings, .the board has ap
proved 200 more. From the old list, how
ever, will be dropped about 100 books
which will, leave a. .catalogue of about
2100 from which the libraries may be re
plenished.

WAITING FOR IRON
DOME OF THE NEW CAPITOL TO;
BE FINISHED IN.
NOVEMBER t
GREAT SCARCITY OF STEEL
Contractor* Experienced Much Diffi
culty ln Obtaining Sufficient Sup
ply—Bids Called for* Heating
and Lighting Plants.
The dome of the state capitol will be
completed before the end of November, if
the structural iron required for It : ar
rives within the time the contractor says
it will, Sept. 16. The Butler j & Ryan
firm is ready to go on with the work of
finishing the-dome, but cannot proceed
until the iron work has been put up. .
At yesterday's meeting of the capitol
commission. Manager Herzog, of the
Minneapolis branch of the American Steel
trust, stated that after much trouble he
had succeeded in obtaining sufficient raw
material, and that the work of fashion
ing the steel framework of the big dome
would be commenced immediately.
Messrs. Butler & Ryan then gave an un
dertaking to finish their portion of the
job in forty days after the delivery of
the iron. This will mean about No.v. 25,
if present calculations do not go wrong.
Commissioner De Laittre. expressed his
disapproval of the slow progress that had
been made on the building this summer.
He mentioned the dome particularly, and
Inquired as to the reason for Its not be
ing finished. Mr. Gilbert informed him
that the unsettled condition of the steel
market was largely responsible. Manu
facturers would not supply raw material
except at exorbitant figures. •
Mr. De Laittre was opposed to the in
stallation of a temporary steam plant
with which to heat portions of the build
ing this winter. The Idea in installing
such a plant, Mr. Cass explained, was to
enable the contractors to work on the
fire proofing contract for several months
after work would be ordinarily discon
tinued without the employment of a
heating plant. In reply to Commissioner
De Laittre's opinion, that such a plant
would cost not less than $15,000, he men
tioned $2,000 as about what would be
necessary. No action was taken on the
matter.
Plans for the heating, lighting and
water systems were exhibited by , the
architect, and it was decided that bids
for the same should be in by Sept. 24.
Owing to the high prices of all metal
work, it is expected that the prices sub
mitted will be very high.
Mr. Gilbert, ln a communication, sug
gested that the commissioners endeavor
to secure some portion of the old frigate
Minnesota, which the navy department
has ordered to be broken up. He was of
opinion that the figurehead, the binnacle
or the wheel of the ' historic "warship
would be Interesting and appropriate
relics for the capitol. The board, on his
suggestion, decided to apply to the war
department for several old cannon cap
tured in the late war, and these, Tf ob
tained, will be used to ornament the
grou mis. •
The bond of the Butler. Ryuii - „firm
for (100,000 on the contract for the granite
steps and approaches to the capitol was
approved. ■ •• - • ■•-■■ -•■
WAGE WAR ON SMALLPOX
HEALTH OFFICERS TO v MEET AT
IJILITH A EXT WEEK
Precautionary .Measures to- Be De
vised Against Spread of the
I)i.se:'.*e in Lumber
yf Camps.
Extensive arrangements are being
made for the conference* of the local
health officers of this state, Wisconsin
and Northern Michigan,' to be held Aug.
13 at the Spaulding hotel, Duluth. The
purpose of the meeting,, as., has* already
been set forth at some length in the
Globe, is to formulate plans- for • sys
tematic and concerted action to prevent
the spread of smallpox in this region,
particularly among the lumber camps,
during the coming winter. This question
is one in which the railroad men and
loggers are naturally-interested, and 1 it
is expected that there will be a. large
representation of those classes as well
as medical men. ': ' -
It is understood that the health officers
and medical men generally will favor the
destruction by fire of all lumber camps
where the disease has existed, as the
surest way of preventing further trouble.
The owners of camps, however, will pre
sumably contend that such radical meas
ures are not necessary, and some friction
on that point ls to be expected.
Another precaution which is regarded
as important is the prevention of ship
ment of camp furnishings and equip
ment, from camps where the disease has
existed. Recently a shipment was
made to West Superior from a camp at
Stony Brook, where smallpox existed last
winter, and the fact aroused great in-"
dignation when it became known. By
that time, however, the goods had been
hauled through the streets of the city in
open wagons and possibly a large num
ber of persons had been exposed to dan
ger. The goods were taken to an iso
lated warehouse and thoroughly fumi
gated, but the railroad company was se
verely censured for having brought them
to the city.-
THERE IS FRICTION
NORMAL. PRESIDENTS MAY NOT BE
MADE PURCHASING AGENTS.
Entire harmony does not prevail be
tween the board of control and the mem
bers of the normal board on account
cf the scheme to make the presidents
of the normal schools purchasing agents
for their respective institutions.
..The presidents of the various schools
were called into conference with the
board of control on this subject Thurs
day and agreed to act as purchasing
agents of their institutions-without ex
tra remuneration provided the normal
hoard would agree to the arrangement.
That the normal board will consent
to the scheme is doubtful, as the resi
dent directors desire to be themselves
appointed purchasing agents.
Presidents" Millspaugh, Kleeberger and
Bohannon, when - questioned yesterday
afternoon in regard to the matter, were
not disposed to express themselves very
fully. Dr. Millspaugh said: "'The board
of control has practically decided to
have the presidents act as purchasing
agents, but will confer with the normal
board before it is definitely decided."
To that Mr. Kleeberger added: "When
the boards have decided what they want
us to do we will be found to be willing
servants."
HARD TO HOODWINK SAM
SPORTS MAN'S PITIFUL PLEA FOR
PERMISSION TO SHOOT CHICKEN.
Executive Agent Samuel Fullerton, of
the state game and fish commission, has
received a number of letters from sports
men in different parts of the state who
urgently plead for special permission to
kill not more than two or three prairie
chickens per week during the remainder
of this month for their poor sick wives
or other relatives who are ill. In each
case Mr. Fullerton has replied, advising
that the invalids he induced to get along
with tame : fowl until Sept. 1, when
prairie chickens may be ' killed without
any special permission or violation of the
law.

WILL BE SATISFAC
TORY
DAMAGE HAS BEEN SMALL
Dakota and the West Send in En
couraging Reports—A Banner
Yield in Cooperston
District.
Reports received by the Northern Pa
cific railway from points along Its line
indicate that harvesting Sis general
throughout Minnesota and that east of
Perham, most of the wheat, barley and
rye have been cut. The wheat Is
described as . being ,of good quality and
in most places the yield runs from fifteen
to twenty-five j bushels - per " acre. ;.- The
yield of barley and rye is reported to be
particularly heavy. From Perham to
Moorhead half the grain has been cut,
but threshing has not yet commenced.
The recent showers have done the flax
much good and corn, too, has improved
so greatly that good yields of both are
confidently predicted.
'■■ In the St. Paul & Duluth division the
grain has been cut and stacked and
threshing is to commence In a few days.
Corn and potatoes are reported to be
doing well, and all the haying has been
finished.
In the Dakotas the returns are almost
as favorable, and with a continuance of
the present weather corn and flax are
expected to furnish average yields, in
most of the localities some damage to the
wheat is mentioned, but on the whole the
harvest is described as j being up to ex
pectations. Places at which three weeks
ago there appeared to be absolutely no
chance for a harvest of flax are said to
be expecting yields of from seven to ten
bushels per acre. One field of oats
threshed near Fargo yielded sixty-eight
bushels to the acre.
On the Cooperston branch some farmers
have begun to cut.grain, and harvesting
will be general next week. All grains
are in perfect condition, the heads being
large and. well filled; a very heavy crop
is expected. Flax has greatly Improved,
and the crop is now considered a good
one. Some fields are turning brown. '.■■',
On the Jameston and Northern branch
all grains are ripening rapidly and pros
pects are still favorable for a banner
yield in all kinds of grains. Reports from
the fla„ districts are to the effect that
a heavy yield is assured. The harvesting
of oats and barley will begin in a few
days.
From Montana the reports are that
crops of all kinds seem to be doing" as
well as was expected; harvesting has
commenced in some places, but is not
general. A second crop of alfafa is being
cut.
In Idaho, Washington and Oregon har
vesting is general and the yield is large
in every kind of grain. It will not quite
come up to the expectations of spring,
but ls still good enough to amply satisfy
all the farmers in the districts.

GOOD ACCOIXTAXT.
The investigation into the affairs .the
abstract office under former Abstract
Clerk Schulze, has developed that the
books were kept in a careless manner, and
I in case the county sues to recover money
which was due the office, and which
Schulze was unable to collect, it is doubt
ful if judgment can be secured, as the
bcoks would prove of no value as evi
dence.
The county is out only about $200, and
it is thought that it will not pay to go
to the expense of litigation, and, at
any rate, the claim would be fought by
the United States Fidelity company, by
which Schulze was bonded:

There is an ordinance prohibiting night

STTEE TO ASK.
The Kind of Cuffee When Pontnm Is
"Well Made.
"Three great coffee drinkers'were my
old school friend and her two daugh
ters.
They are always complaining and tan-.
ing medicine. , I determined to give
them Postum Food Coffee instead of cof
fee when they visited me, so without
saying anything to them about it, I
made a big pot of Postum the first morn
ing, using four heaping teaspoons to the
pint of water and let it boil twenty mm- T
utes, stirring down occasionally.
Before the - meal was half over, each
one passed up the cup to be refilled, re
marking how fine S the coffee was. The
mother asked for, a ; third cup and \ in
quired as to ■ the . brand of coffee I used.
I didn't answer her question just then,
for I had heard her say a while before
that she didn't like Postum Food Coffee'
unless it was more than . half old-fash
ioned coffee..' -
After breakfast I told her that the cof
fee she liked so well at breakfast was
pure Postum Food Coffee, and the reason
she liked it was because it was properly
made, that is, it was boiled long enough
to bring out the flavor. I have been
brought iup from | a nervous, wretched
invalid, to a fine condition of physical
health toy leaving off coffee and using
Postum Food - Coffee.

A HEBREW SCHOOL
NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE ON WEST
SIDE IS ALMOST COM
PLETED
WORK TO START IN SEPTEMBER
Industrial Training Will Form the
Principal Part of Curriculum—
Good Gymnasia— 1 Han
Been Provided. -'■
The Neighborhood house which the
Jewish Benevolent society is-. building on
the West side flats j will be finished and
ready for occupany about Sept.. 1. A
meeting of the board of trustees was held
last evening at the home of Dr. Rypins
on Dayton avenue, and plans -for- the
furnishing and conducting of the house
were informally discussed. The Benev
olent society does not own the building,
but has a lease of it for three years.
It was built according to plans drawn
up by one of the members of the society.
The exterior of the building Is . entirely
.finished. It is a large square building
of substantial appearance, I with plenty
of windows that insure effective lighting.
It has two stories and a double basement:
There are six rooms. and an assembly
hall capable of seating 200 people on the
first floor and six rooms on the upper
floor.. In the double basement is. a gym
nasium and a manual training room. The
floors and woodwork of the building are
all hard wood. One of the rooms on the
first floor will probably be used for a
day nursery. The other rooms will be
utilized for class rooms, reading rooms
and rooms for the matron and her assist
ant. V^j"
The date for the opening of the house
has not yet been_ fixed, but It will be
early in September. A reception will be
given in the afternoon by the Hebrew
Ladles' Benevolent society, and in the
evening there wall be a programme of
addresses delivered by men and women
prominent in local philanthropic work
and music. The principal work carried
on at the house this fall and winter will
be along the lines of industrial training.
When the Jewish Industrial school closed
last spring there were over seventy-five
girls in the sewing class, and almost as
many boys "who were studying the rudi
ments and higher branches, of manual
training. These classes, under competent
instructors, will be continued in the new
building. -It 4 will also be the endeavor of
those interested in the project, to make
the Neighborhood house the social center
of the neighborhood. Good concerts will
be given every two weeks, and a course,
of lectures on current topics is being
arranged for. An instructor will super
intend the gymnasium work and another
one will have charge of the sloyd work-,
Kitchen gardening, sewing and domestic
science are the branches that will be
taught the girls. It is probable, how
ever, that- evening classes in English and
in commercial branches • will be. formed
for young men and women. The furnish
ing for .the house will be obtained by
private subscriptions, and as soon as the
necessary amount has been raised the
date for the opening of the building j will
be fixed.
TO RAISE LAKE'S LEVEL
WHITE BEAR RESIDEXTS PROPOSE
TO TAP PIKE TREE I.VKII.
> At--- a meeting of the White
Bear , Lake _• Improvement " associa
tion which was held yesterday, plans
were submitted, showing that a large
amount of- water could be secured from
Pine Tree lake, and that in this way a
good stage of water.could be secured all
the time. The county surveyor made a
report to.this effect,. and after some dis
cussion the matter was left in the hands
of a conference committee which will re
port in two weeks. : ■ '.'-.
As it is, some progress has been made,
as the residents of Dellwood have grant-,
ed a right of way for the Installing of a
flume between Pine Tree lake and White
Bear.
A communication was received stating
that the residents of Bald Eagle lake
were opposed to the scheme of White
Bear getting water from the source
which was proposed, • but it was shown
that Bald Eagle gets most of its water
from Fish lake,' and on that account
the objections had no real foundation in
fact.
The conference committee which will
see the disaffected Bald Eagle residents
is composed of C. T. Noyes, W. B. Dean,
A. M. Lawton. H. T. Drake, J. Gold
smith, W. P. Jewett, Dr. C. Frye, A. J.
Wampler, M. E. Kost and J.E. Jensen.
The association reported having secured
deeds for the public property necessary
for the boulevarding near Dellwood, and
this will give a dedicated thoroughfare
along the entire north shore of the lake.
The question of securing a dredge was
discussed, but nothing definite was done.

APPEAL MAY BE TAKEN"
OMAHA AWARDS CONSIDERED BY
MAXY AS TOO SMALL.
- In the minds of . many the award to
the city of a sum slightly in excess"of
{5,500 as the result of condemnation pro
ceedings on the West side for the Omaha
spur track, is considered rather small,
but the legal department has not yet
decided whether it will accept or appeal
from the awards. . v-
The city has . thirty days in which to
appeal, and in: the ; "meantime Assistant
Corporation Attorney Stobbart is en
gaged in examining the report. He re
fuses to make a .statement until the ex
amination Is complete.
Dr. Ohage thinks the ; award is entirely |
too small, holding that the amount is
hardly sufficient 3to - pay for the dam
age done to Harriet island alone. He is
keeping an eye on the road as it is being
constructed, I and says the company from
his observation is not keeping its agree
ment with the city: iHe says piling \is
being ; put in where a riprap wall was
promised.

SCHOOLS MEET IN ST. PAIL.
: The presidents of the state normal
schools met at the Windsor hotel yes
terday for the purpose of Indorsing
diplomas. There were present at the
meeting the presidents of all the
normal schools of the state as follows:
Dr. J. F. Mtllspau'gh, Winona; G. R.
Kleeber, St. Cloud; Charles H. Cooper,
Mankato; Frank A. Weld, Moorhead;
E. W. Bohannon, Duluth. . V ,;..
• ' The indorsement of diplomas is condi
tional upon two years' successful ex
perience in teaching, after graduation
from _ one of the normal • schools. A
diploma from one of these institutions ft.
equivalent to a state teacher's certificate
and qualifies the holder to accept a first
or second grade position, but at the end
of two years it expires unless Indorsed
by the board of normal presidents. Tarn
if it is a diploma of the advanced course,
it ■ becomes good for life, or if of tho
elementary course, it is good for five
years. :«^7
BOUGHT COAL CHEAPLY.
State Board of Control Effects Con-
siderable Saving;.
The state board of control yesterday
awarded a contract . for coal to be
furnished to the state institutions under
its supervision during the coming winter,
but pursuant to its usual policy,.declined
to make public any of the particulars of
the transaction. The quantity which the
contract is said to call for is 40,000 tons,
all of which except 1,000 tons is bitumin
ous, or soft coal, but the price paid or
to whom the contract was awarded the
board refuses to make public. The mem
bers of the board intimate that this deal
effects a considerable saving •as com
pared with the original bids.
Some days ago the board announced
its rejection of all bids submitted, on the
ground that there. was such similarity
in prices, particularly of hard coal, as to
plainly indicate collusion among the
dealers. Discussing that topic the local
representative of one of the large com
panies who bid for the contract, said:
"There undoubtedly must have been
marked similarity in the prices of
anthracite coal and the same similarity
would be noticed by any corporation or
any individual getting bids or quotations
from the different dealers. That is not
due to any local combine, but to condi
tions which exist in Mie East and are
beyond our control. In fact I may say
that the president of the oldest coal
company doing business in this city has
no more Influence in fixing the price of
anthracite coal in this market than any
man who buys it from him.
"As to soft coal it is different and
there has been quite a range of prices
in that line. I have no idea as to the
figures submitted to the board of con
trol by any of the other bidders and
none of them, as far as I know, has
any means of knowing what my bid
was. I can say. however, that the board
will gain nothing by delaying the pur
chase of either soft or hard coal."
