cHURCH's CHARGER.

Ia second EnstalImsnc of Gubernatsria
Dirt Very Easily Clearea Away.
Frank Il. Van TasseI, secretary of the
late board OF trustees OF the Yankton In
sane hospital, was seen to-day relative
to the last charge Of Governor Church
that himself and his associates, Colonel
Powers and Judge Williams, had impos.
ed bogus plans and specifications of the
proposed hospital wings upon the gov
ernor with intent to steal $500 The
charge Is suoh an absurd one, and based
upon suoh q hlmsy foundation, that the
news gatherer felt some delicacy about
broaohing the subject. Ba. Mr.aVan
TasDel seemed to give proper weight to
an allegation from that source and was
in no wise cast down by the fresh install.
ment of gubnatorial mud flung at his
head. In reply to q query about the
matter, Mr.. Van Tassel said:
"rhe board of trustees sent the origin
al plans and specifications, az furnished
by Architect Dow, to Governor Church
for approval, April 27, 1887. Under these
plans the architects estimated cost of
the two wings was $40. 900. The board
retained no copy OF the plans and speci-
fcations, supposing the governor would,
approve or reject and return the original
ct once. Governor Church rejected the
plans and specifications Sept. IL, 1887,
but did not return the originals"
Some four months later, MI. Van Tssssl
explained, the board Of another meeting,
held October 6, 1887. received new plsns,
or rather duplicates Of the old plans re-
tained by the governor, With the pur-
pose of proceeding with the construction.
OF the hospital wings without the ap.
proval of the governor, il deemed adj
visible. The hospital record of that
date, page 239, says:
w. l.. Dow having prepared q new
set OF plans and laid them before the
board, the board proceeded to examine
the same, together With the assistance
OF the superintendent, and sitcr reading
the specifications carefully, on motion
the same were adopted, and ordered
placed or file with the secretary OF the
board"
The architects estimates accompany.
ing these plans was $4,000 as the cost
of the wings. the same as the estimates
on the plans sent the governor. In fact
the second plans. and specifications were
q duplicate of the first, This is all there
is to il. The governor failed to return
the rejected plans and the board had
them duplicated. In conclusion MIR,
Van Tassel said:
IF Governor Church means to insinu-
ate that the board intended to get his
approval to one set of plans and epeclf-
cations, and to make contracts and per-
form the work under a different set, he
states that which is absolutely false. II
GcsssaoT Church has in his :,osse=.;cn
any other plans and specifications other
than the originals sent by the board, he
must have procured them from W. L..
Dow, and they must be q copy OF the new
