excellently by Mr.. Klein, whose makeup

THE CITY COUNCIL.
Aid. DoWIan Withdraxvs His Motif
ficatiOn of a Contest.

An adjourned meeting of the council was
held last evening for the purpose of consid-
ering the application of Aid. Dowlan to
have recount of the votes in his district,
but the application was withdrawn so that
10 action was taken.
HOW THEY GOT AT IT.
Mr.. Murray sent in communication in
regard to the matter, in which he recited
the provisions of the city charter in regard
to the election and qualifications of the
members of the council in which it is stated
that the council shall be the Judge of its own
members, and shall have power to send for
persons and papers, and shall determine the
rules of its own proceedings. This author
ity, he claims, is qualified by sections -
and Is. which provide that the ballots shall
be counted and strung OH strong thread
and placed in an envelope and sealed up by
the judges with sealing wax and preserved
for six months, when they shall be de-
stroyed by burning without the package
being previously opened, unless there is a
contest of election in which the ballots may
be required as evidence. Then the ballots
shall not be destroyed till such contest is
determined. In all cases of such contest
the parties contesting shall have the right
W nave bHc l)dCkdSG VI DdllOGS Op6lleu dIlu
referred to the witnesses for the purposes of
the contest, Mr.. Murray concludes as fol-
lows: sit is not claimed that the request
to recount is a contest. This being true, 1
am of the opinion that the council has no
authority to order recount upon the sug-
gestion of error, as it has no power to open
the sealed package of ballots except in the
case provided in the statute, or at least a
very doubtful one. therefore advise against
it."
At the conclusion of the reading of Mr..
Murray's communication, Mr.. Willis, who
appeared for Aid. Dowlan, withdrew the
application for recount and thus the mat
ter ends for the present

ANSWERED BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
George F. Corning, superintendent of
schools of Otter Tail county, submits a
question to Attorney General Hahn based
on the following facts: The county COM
missioners of Otter Tail attempted to or
ganize District No. 1873 by an order made
March IS, 1884. Thereup On the people re-
siding within the territory organized, elected
officers, have levied taxes and had COM
menced building school house. On JAM
4, 1885, the county commissioners passed
resolution attempting to revoke their
former order and to attach the territory to
districts It's and 179, and the question is
what is now the legal status of district 1873.
In reply the attorney says that School
district 1873 still exists. The original petit
ton for the district was defective, yet the
board having acted upon it, and having once
acted, their right to take any farther
step is gone until something Tin this
case a legal petition) should
within a proper time call up the subject
and give them jurisdiction to act further
in the premises. The petition for rehear-
ing, presented to the board July 90, 1884,
and upon which they assumed to act, after
due notice and hearing, by passing a resO-
luton of revocation, was void under section
16, chapter Sc, general statutes 1878, and
gave the commissioners no power to act.
Besides this, the names attached to the
original petition for the district, though lille
GAL as the district has existed one year, it
is presumed to be legally organized under
the law.
A. T. Merrill, county attorney of Aitkin,
asks if the village of Aitkin, organized as it
was first under unconstitutional law and
subsequently legalized by special act of
the legislature, comes under the head of
villages (which have been organized under
general statutes. The attorney genera
answers that the village as now constituted
comes under this latter act.
The attorney general also rules that it is
the duty of county auditor to furnish a
copy of the financial statement of the
county commissioners proceedings to the
official paper of the county
Gorham Powers, attorney of Yellow
Medicine county, is informed that county
auditor is entitled to fees for services fur

AMUSEME
ssFalka,, Produced TO a Large and
Fashionable Audience-.Dra-
f. RLxn&a

INOtCSs
If any one has doubted the natural bias
OF bent of the play-going public of ST. Paul
for light opera, and comic opera in particu-
lar, he or she should have heard the
plaudits of delight with which the produc-
ton of ''Falka," by the McCaull Opera
company, was greeted at the Grand last
night. 1t is one of the healthy and whole
some indications of the times, this popular
love for light and breezy music, and unlike
most things spoken of in the old saw, the
people cannot have too much of it.
The opera of s'Fall1a" possesses
bright and sparkling score, on which
has been strung not few
of the most pleasing and captivating melo-
dies of like compositions in the last decade,
many of it's airs being already hummed
and whistled on the streets and in the draw
ing rooms throughout the land.
There is nothing especially unique in the
plot, the action being based On love in
trigue, the incidents arising from which are
quite natural enough to suit the require
ments of comic opera and the comedy bust
ness is exquisite.
The merit of last nights production con-
sisted in its perfect dash and spirit, which
permeated its vocal, instrumental and act
ing features. The company is not as large
in point of mere numbers, as some more
pretentious organizations which have been
this way, but the ensemble leaves little to
be desired. Besides it was richly mounted
and cOstunled, and the chorus and Or
chestra worked together in more than the
average harmony.
The opera fairly bubbles over with bright
and winsome melodies, and the audience
seemed thoroughly en- rapport with the very
excellent rendition.
The role of Falka. the heroine, who
elopes with her lover, and who is compelled
to disguise herself in his attire in order to
escape detection, is admirably sung and
acted by Miss Bertha Ricci. This lady
possesses voice of wide range, her notes
being clear, bright and sympathetic, and
she sings and acts with grace and ease.
The singing of Miss Samuels as Edmige
was quite as pleasing, and her rendition of
the role was very much enjoyed. Miss Vim
ton also possesses a very sweet voice, and
she employs it advantageously. The
role of Boleslas was exceptionally
well taken by Mr.. Wilke,
who both sang and acted in an artistic and
spirited manner His voice is clear, strong
and resonant, and possesses wide range.
The funny business is in the keeping of
Mr. Wilson, as the Governor, who is as
sprightly and picturesque as can well be
imagined, his buffooning being very much
enjoyed.
Mr. g. B. Boniface, as Tancred, is lively
enough and his singing was enjoyable,

AConfIagration Ayerted.

At about 1880 on Wednesday evening St.
PauPs new market house was discovered to
be on fire, in Mchaud's grocery stall, in the
market house proper, and, while several
persons were debating whether an alarm
should be pulled, or the chemical sent for,
Henry Owen. manager of the st. Paul
OdOrless company, was hoisted from the
outside on the shoulders of two men, and,
entering the stall by a window which had
been left open, found blaze, fully four
feet in height, and considerable volume is
suing from some boxes and barrels, par
TALLY filled with paper and debris. Gath
erng several empty bags, he smoth-
cred the fire. effectually finishing the
job with pals of water, luckily found in the
stall. Word was sent to the central fire
hall, and fremen came up and saw that the
building was safe. The fire can only be
accounted for on the theory that some one
threw a lighted cigar from the street through
the window, which had been carelessly left
open. Had not the blaze been thus Oppor-
tunely discovered serious damage must have
been caused to the interior of this $4,000
public structure
