SEVENTH A2TD CEDAB STS, READY TO STEP OUT Dr. Ohage Says He Will Ee sign From the Health Commissionership SPUR TRACK IS BUILT* Canse of Trouble lias Been En- croachments of Railroads on West Side—Latest Track: Finished Yesterday. Tomorrow at 10 o'clock should see Dr. Ohage's resignation as health commis sioner in the hands of Mayor Smith. The doctor's intentions, unless certain things were agreed to, first appeared in The Globe Friday. Yesterday he held a conference with Mayor Smith, and at its close announced that his resignation would be forthcoming on the date and hour named without fail. In a manner the resignation hinges on the acceptance by the Commercial club of his request for a conference this evening regarding the Gedney Pickling company spur track and other railroad encroach ments on the fill leading to the baths, but as this conference has been refused, few this evening at least, there is little doubt that Dr. Ohage will carry out his inUntions. The answer from the Commercial club was that the conference asked for would undoubtedly be granted, but owing to a pressure of business it could not be held this evening, the date requested. From the city development committee of the club Dr. Ohage received a letter stating that the members of the committee would be more than willing to talk over the question at issue. As to the Gedney spur track, the cause of the controversy, it has been put in, the Omaha's track-laying crew driving the last spike at a late hour yesterday afternoon. The rails and ties cover the ground in a rather slipshod manner, the job being a hurry-up one, but this condi tion or affairs will be attend-ed to this morning, when a crew Will, be put to work bringing the track up to grade and leveling it. Asked yesterday as to whether Re would accept Dr. Ohage's resignation, Mayor Smith was not Inclined to talk: "I have not received it yet and see no reason to talk on something that may not happen. The doctor is a good offi cial," he said, "and I hate to see him go." The employes of the department are pretty badly worked up over the doc tor's resigration and are guessing as to their tenure of office in the event of his persisting and a new commissioner being appointed. In the minds of those around the city hall, Dr. Stone seems to be the only available man, but it is understood he does not want the position. He Will Issue a Statement. Health Commissioner Ohage. further announces that he will follow his resig nation with a letter of explanation and the causes that compel him to take the step. He says it will include a history of the baths, and his single-handed fi^ht to protect the island from mercenary Invasion. There was a decided tremor in th? doc tor's voice last night when in answer to the question, "Is it true you are go ing to resign the office of health commis sioner and custodian of the public baths?" he said. "Yes, I am all though. I put up the best fight I could, but they had more friends than I did. Yes, my resignation is ready, and Mayor Smith will receive it Wednesday morning." Dr. Ohage's first intention was to re sign his connection with the public baths, but to do so he later found that he would have to relinquish the office of health commissioner, as by the terms of the deed when the island was given to tf.^ city by the doctor it was stipulated that the island should at all times be under the charge and direction of the health department. "I never thought of this," said Dr. Ohage yesterday, "when I turned the isl and over to the city, but then I do not regret the terms that I exacted. It is an insitution that I am proud of, ana 1 wanted to see it free from political trick ery. I sincerely hope ray successor, who ever he is, will be more successful than I have been. Perhaps the fact of my resignation is the b?st thing I could do. I am getting to be a physical wreck, and I need rest. The press, Mayor Smith and many others too numerous to men tion have stood by me nobly and helped me in my fight to the best of their abil its, but it was impossible to cope with commercial sharks. I am not what some cay, a sorehead, I am simply tired.' MASONS WILL ATTEND B. F. FARMER'S FUNERAL Special Train to Convey Them to Soring Valley Thursday Morning. Many promineit members of the Ma sonic order in S«. Paul will attend the funerc: of Hon. B. F. Farmer, who died suddenly at Spring: Valley Sunday.

PUPILS' READING BOOKS NEARLY HALF MILLION VOLUMES IX PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARIES Statistics of Educational Depart ment Show That Rural Schools Do Their Share of Library Build ing:, and Pupils' Demand for Heading: Matter Is Strong. There are at the present time 3,500 pub lic school libraries in the state of Minne sota, with a total of over 400,000 volumes, or about one book for every pupil in the state. Seme n.ortha ago The Globe estimated that at the close of this year' there would be over 400,000 volume? In the public libraries, and this statement ;'s verified by the statistics of the depart ment of education for the year 1901. - ■ The statistics for the years 1899,' 1900 and 1901, according to official report,, are as follows: 1899. 3900. v 1901.

Of the 3,123 libraries in the state in 1501, 2,8£5 were in common school \ dis tricts, and 214 in independent districts. Of the 34,913 volumes bought that year, 22,914 went into common school districts. The total number of volumes in common school districts was 203,203, and in inde pendent district 156,705. ■■:■-;- The rural schools continue to more than hold their own with the high and graded schools in maintaining their libraries. In 1899 the common school districts purchas ed 19,047 volumes; in 1900, 22,242 volumes, and in 1901, 22,914. Under the increased state aid for libra ries there has baen unusual activity on the part of rural school districts in secur ing new libraries, and it is believed that the rural schools of the state .will pur chase close to 40,000 volumes during 1902. Under the law as it now is. schools de siring to participate in the state aid to rural and semi-rural schools must have, among other things, a good library. The state assists the district doubly, by pay ing half the cost of the libraries. Other statistics of the department are: General Statistics. .__,.,,„,..

Four Norwegians, immigrants, had a narrow escape from death by asphyxia tion in the Globe hotel yesterday morn ing. They are Greer Monson, Eric Malt son, John Whilhemson and Brunjild Wil son, who arrived in St. Paul Sunday with a parly of twenty-two from Norway on their way to Montana. They were given a front room in the hotel, and not hav ing any experience with gas, and unable to read English, one of the four blew it out when they-went to bed. Had it not been for the fact that a similar occurrence happened in the hotel some time ago, all four men would have been dead when discovered. After the first accident of this kind the proprietors I of the hotel had three holes bored in the door, and to these vents the Norwegians owe their life. When one of the party sleeping in an other room went to awaken his friends he noticed the odor in the hallway. He had a vague idea that something was ■wrong and he at once notified the pro prietor. The door was broken in and Monson and Mattson were found uncoil-, scious. Dr. Dohm was called and had the two men taken to the city hospital in the patrol wagon. The city physicians worked over the men for some time and finally resuscitated them. .Wilson and "Wilhemson were about the hotel yester day in a groggy condition. The four will be able to leave for Montana today. Eyes and Noae Ran "Water.—C. Q. Archer, of Brewer, Maine, says: "I have bad Catarrh for several years.

' WQRKf/^LSTARTED Coliseum j Committees Will Visit Business Houses in Interest of Cause LABOR UNIONS' RECORD A* eady JFO.OOO Members of Organ ized Bodies Have Responded to tlie Call for One Day's Earn ins*—More Committees. In preparation for the concerted move ment to be made upon the business houses today by the canvassing committees ~ot the Coliseum association, a meeting of the beard of directors with the members of these committees was held last evening in the parlor of the Commercial club. Ow ing possibly to the fact that the meeting took place in the evening and perhaps in some measure to increased interest, the attendance was large and much business like enthusiasm was shown. The purpose < i the meeting was to hear reports from the eommitteemen as to the progress thus far made, to map out the work still to be done and to strengthen such commit tees as bad found the work allotted to them unexpectedly difficult. Seme of the committees were not rep resented at all, but verbal reports more or less In detail were received from a greater proportion of them, and taken as a -whole the character of the reports was si;ch as to indicate that while there had been a great deal of work accomplished, there still remained much to be done. Members who had volunteered their ser vices were added to committees who had found their work more difficult th£in had teen expected, and members of the board c-f directors agreed to accompany some of the committees today. Start on Secret Societies. Judge Grier M. Orr, chairman of the committee appointed to present the Coli seum project to the secret societies and secure subscriptions among those organi zations, made a.most encouraging report. He said that his committee had found there were 140 different societies in the city, and had begun its work by sending notices to the officers asking to be inform ed as to wha.t time the committee could appear before th« respective bodies. Since then and almost every night for the pas'; three weeks he with other members of the committee had appeared before some ledge or society to talk about the Coli seum, and some nights.they had attended as many as five different meetings. Before coming to this meeting he had attended twe meetings five miles apart. Judge Orr said the committee had been treated very courteously in its work and had found" much enthusiasm among the members of the secret orders. In some cases the mem bers had questioned him very closely as to the details of the project, and this he regarded as an evidence of interest. In some of the organizations every member had signed the subscription list. Labor Has Done Xobly. George Shaw, president of the Trades and Labor Assembly, who has had charge of the work among the labor organizations of the city; spoke of the necessity of systematic and determined effort on the part of the canvassing com mittees generally. He thought that the plans for canvassing should be so thor oughly systematized that every citizen of St. Paul, no matter what his business or calling, might' be reached in some way, and none q»iuM escape. He said that his work thus far among the labor organizations has resulted in 10,000 sub scriptions. Mr. Shaw suggested that it would greatly help the movement if ev ery policeman, street railway employe, fireman and mail carrier in the city were wearing a Coliseum button every day, and he believed that measures should bo taken ajt once to circulate subscription papers in those departments at once. Chester R. Smith, Ike Lederer and Wil bur Tibbils were appointed a committee to see Chief O'Connor as to the circu lation of the subscription lists among the members of the police department, and within a half hour from that time the chief had assured the committee that today every policeman in the city would be wearing a button. Provision will also be made for work among tne mail car riers and firemen and the street railway employes. ' Travelers Are Interested. The secretary of the Commercial Trav elers' union announced that his organi zation had voluntarily taken the Colise um matter ug. and had sent out notices to its membeifs and others, wsth the re sult that a Lirge number of assurances of subscriptions had been received. The number of notices out, he stated, was 1,000, and het felt : sure that all would give something, and some would give liberally. No work at; all has as yet been done among the business houses of the West side, and a «ommijttee of which M. A. Gedney is cHairm^n was appointed to begin operaf iojhs in- that part of the city today. The other of that com mittee are R. A. Aoyt, F. B. Lynch, J. E. Kenny, W. Mitchell, G. W. K«hler, C. M. Crowley, W r. M. Carlson, R. H. Seng, C. B. Bowlby and Edward Van ish. The committee will start out at 9 o'clock this morning, and 2:30 this aft ernoon, and expects to finish its work today. C R. Smith suggested that it would be well to appoint a committee to at tend the political meetings to be hold In the different wards of the city from from now until election day, and with the permission of those in charge of the meetings to represent the Coliseum pro ject to the audiences. President Bowl by appointed as that committee Conde Hamlin, J. w. Shepard, H. P. Hall, Os car Hailam and E. C. String-er. WILL HOLD INQUEST IN THE THOMAS CASE Coroner.

OLSZEWSKI TELLS OF HKVL AILMENTS IX PROBATE COIRT Adroitly Evades Recital of Her Family Troubles, and Convince* Court That She Is Ho* a Fit Sub' jeet for the Asylum. "If I was crazy, I would admit it; if I wanted to take treatment for nervous ness, or rather had the money to do so, I would go and consult some prominent specialist of nervous diseases, and not consult an ordinary physician." Dr. Lancaster was conducting an in sanity examination for Mrs. Florence Ols zewski in the probate court yesterday when her ire became aroused, and she informed the examining physician just how she felt about the matter. She had taken poiswi Saturday, and was brought before the court yesterday as a result. "You need not tell me that I am not well," she continued, "for I know that as well as you do, but I know that I am not crazy. I have been overworked, and family troubles have caused me to worry so that I often times feel that 1 do not care to live any longer, and that is the way I felt when I took the poison Saturday. "What family troubles have you that cause you to feel despondent.?'' inquired Judge Bazille. "Do you think that I will announce here 1, before this audience, the secrets of my family—my sorows of heart? Not much. If I cannot save myself from the asylum by any other means than by talking of matters that concern only my self and my husband, then to the asylum I go. You call me crazy, but I am not quite so crazy as that." Mrs. Olszewski and her husband have been residing at 467 Wabasha street for the past year, and the husband alleges that his wife has been continually grow ing worse. According to his testimony she has several times tried to take his life. £he, on the contrary, alleges that she is the victim of a slight mental disorder, and that if she can have a little rest she will be herself shortly. When she arrived in the police court she was in an extremely ner vous condition, _and when informed by Judge Bazille that she was to appear before the examination board for insan ity her contempt knew no bounds. But later, when the possibility of an in?ane asylum confronted her, she gave way to lamentation. Judge Bazille did not seem to consid er the case a severe one, and ordered her sent to the detention hospital. YOUNG IS FOIXD GUILTY. Jury Convicts Him of Tnkijstf v Young: Girl to Hoaae of Vice.

State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion .J. W. Oleen had decided f.<> take an edvanccd step in the agitation for better school houses by instituting in the sum mer training schools of the State a w rlej of illustrated lectures by expert archi tects on modern school buildings. Every state ir. the West has been troubled with the problem of substituting sanitary school houses for the health-wrecking regulation school building of the past decade, and in Minnesota this pn has received attention from several state superintendents. Former Supt. Lewis Is sufd a special bulletin on the subject, which resulted in a considerable improve ment throughout the state, and th department has for the past three years assisted districts in building proper schools by supplying them with elaboral - plans by a competent architect, according to their needs. But still there is vast room for improvement, and the fact that it is a matter of public health m ikes it of more than ordinary concern to the au thorities. Some"-States Have Acted. Many cf the states have passed laws looking toward a radical remedy!] existing- conditions, and the National Ed ucation association, which meets in Min neapolis in July, win receive i report from a special committee on school archi tecture, which, it is believed, will pro pose some line of action that will ma terially assist the pr..; State Superintendent Olsen thinks that it might be a good thing to paes a law requiring district officers who cont< rn plate building a now school house to con sult with the county superintendent, who, in turn, should consult with the superintendent. An appropriation should be made which would enable the state superintendent to secure the services of a competent architect in preparing suit able plans for a sanitary school building. Charles H. Parsons, who has done more than any me man to revolutionize schooi building in lowa. r<ll< 1 who started the agitation in the National Educational as sociation, says: Should Meet Requirement*. "Each state should pass laws requiring: that every school house measure up to i certain sanitary standard. Xo permanent, satisfactory solution of the modern school building problem can ever be at tained, even in the most enlightened of cur communities, that does not compre hend the remodeling of state laws so as to both enable and require school boards to produce certain definite and specific results in Fchool building under their con trol. Boards that desire to build sani tary buildings cannot do so for the lack of funds. Many boards that could build proper school houses do not do so for the reason that they cannot !»<• made to real ize the necessity for it. The first may be remedied by means of enabling legisla tion, that is, making our laws more lib eral, so that more means can be at the disposal of these boards. Second, we want laws that will protect the health of the child in school, while we are edu cating him for the duties and responsi bilities of American citizenship. AYe want these laws to be so liberal that the rery least possible damage will be done to the health of any child while he fs in school. AYe want these laws framed, and with such penalties that they will command the respect and obedience of the school boards and officers. AVithout this, fail ures must continue to be made, the peo ple's money will be wasted, the health of children will be undermined, and We shall keep sowing seeds of disease in the rising generation, until shortly we shall be reaping a bounteous harvest of early deaths." Supt. Olsen hop*s to secure a more general public agitation of the important question by his proposed cours" of lec tures at the training school of the state this summer. Bound Over to Grand Jury.
