Proposition to Locate 1t on Reform
School Site.

: A committee representing the Mime
sofa district of the Lutheran Synod of
Ohio and adjacent states called upon
Gov. Merriam yesterday, and consulted
with him with reference to the pur-
chase of the reserved reform school
lands and buildings near Kittsondale,
in St. Paul. The committee was COM
posed of Rev. +. Mattar. of RamSberg,
S. D.; j. c. Riedel. of Alton, Minn.,
and Rev. f. Ebert, of Saltwater. Prof.
II. Ernst, president of the German
Lutheran seminary at Alton, accom-
panied the committee. This seminary
is overcrowded at present, and, at a
recent meeting Of the Minnesota dis
trict synod, it was decided to erect a
larger building for the accommodation
of the students. The old reform school
grounds offer a splendid site for the
proposed college, and, if they can be
purchased at a reasonable price,
the new seminary will be built
there, and several hundred students
transferred from the little town of
Alton TO st. Paul. Gov. Merriam as
sured the committee that he would con-
fer with the proper authorities at once
and let them know what price would be
placed upon the land as sOoD as posi-
BILE. The committee was anxious to
have the matter settled within few
days in order to report to the general
Lutheran synod, which meets at Rich
mond. Ind. early nexth month. 1t is
understood that if the necessary land
can be purchased they Will ask bonus
from the business men Of st. Paul and
will bring the matter to the attention of
the chamber Of commerce at its next
meeting.

Sylvester Bell, aged twenty-six years,
was found dead in his room at PSI
Goodhue street yesterday morning.
The coroner was notified, and, as the
dead man had retired late Sunday night
in the best of health. post mortem
was held to ascertain the cause of death.
The post m0rtem showed that death re-
suited from ''acid poisoning"
Bell has been stopping at the house of
Rasmuss Rasmussen at the number
mentioned since he came 10 ST. Paul on
Wednesday last. Mrs. RaSSmusSon
worked for Bell at his farm at Lake
wood number Of years, and her hus-
band also worked there previous to
their marriage. Bell, who was some
what close regarding money matters,
made it point to put up at RaSSmus-
sons house when he came to st. Paul,
and was on the most friendly
terms with his former employees. He
spent Wednesday night there and all
day Thursday, going to Minneapolis
Friday and returning on Saturday
night. Sunday he spent the day look

son was found to cause death.
Mr.. RaS5muSson scouts the idea
of suicide and says Bell was in good
spirits when he retired. Mrs. Rass-
mussOn said he would never have killed
himself, for he was one of those men
who thought he would live always.
The family and their guest had supper
at the same time, and are certain it was
nothing at the meal that caused his
death. A telegram was sent to the dead
mans brother, who lives at Cross
Plains, Wis, and a reply received
ordering the body sent there by express.
In the dead mans clothes was found

papers. Bell formerly lived here, and
at one time worked for G. d. Giltillan.
Of late years he mas spent most of his
time at other points, coming to st. Paul
once or twice year. He was worth
considerable money besides his realty
possessions.
He has two brothers living at Cross

inquest unnecessary, and the body will

CANDIDATES FOR CLASSES.
Teachers Examination at the High
School Today.


There is a little army of aspiring
young ladies in st. Paul this morning
who would be delighted to read in these
columns the series of questions that are
to be propounded to them today. The
candidates for appointment to the teach
ers corps for the ensuing year are the
young ladies. Should this be done,
what scrambling there would be the
next few hours for text books of refer
ence. encyclopedias, etc. The public
library, tor Instance, would undoubtedly
be popular rendezvous. But the
GLOBE is not commissioned to do any,
thing of the kind. and the candidates
must pass the ordeal without the slight
est intimatiou of the particular QueS-
tiOnS that will be asked them.
Yesterday the superintendent was
very busy making all the preparations
for the event. The applicants come
from all sections of the state, as rule.
There are III the first instance, the
teachers who have been doing service
in the district schools in all the
counties, who aspire to enter service i'll
the metropolis. and then come the
graduates of the various normal schools
and the new acquisitions from outside
the state. One might naturally be led
to suppose that the recent graduates of
the high school might become candi-
dates also. but they have determined to
first take the course of year and
half in the teachers training school of
this city. 1t will be of interest to know
Just whom of the graduating class..have
decided upon pedagogy as profession.
The list is:
Lusinda Austoo. Lillian NJ. Bryan. Grace

REARDON ON TnE WARPATH.
He Intends to Cut Down City Ex-
penses Right and Left.

pChSCS anu Hull
The meeting of the assembly tonight
will, in all probability, be enlivened by
an informal talk on reducing city eX-
penditureS by Assemblyman Reardon.
Mr.. Reardon said yesterday, that while
he might have been mistaken about the
particular fund from which the amount
was paid, the facts were as he gave
them. The clerical force. he claimed,
employed in the board Of public works
at the present time was as large as
when 2.0O0.C00 worth of improvements
were being made. The same state of
affairs existed in the engineers Office.
This was all wrong. 1t mattered
not from what particular fund
inspectors and other employees were
paid. What he wanted to call attention
to was the amount of money expended
i'll the department. All the money had
in the end TO come from the taxpayers,
and he was determined they should be
protected.
1t may be, however, that he will not
declare himself tonight, as one or the
"reformers" said yesterday that il Rear
don kept calling attention 10 such things
there would be no positions to pass
around when the proper time came.

GOVERNOR rICGRAW.
Wasilington's Chief Elect
Visits This CITY.


Governor-elect j. ii. McGraw of the State
| of Washington is visiting California for his
health, ACCOMPANIED by his former partner
IN the law business, j. F. Mcknight of
Seattle, who is also here to consult with
San Francisco oeulists.
Governor McGraw is a brilliant example
of the opportunities afforded man in the
Western States to cut his way unaided
from comparative obscurity to shining
prominence.
Born in the State of Maine in 1850 he sat
out at years of age to battle with the
world.
Rising gradually from one position to
another. educating himself as he went along.
he now stands elected Governor of the State
OF Washington amid torrent OF popular
acclaim.

unofficial or unauthorized agents provo
cateurs did their work on the Guinea Coast
so cleverly that the French at home seem
TO be fully persuaded that the present
Dahomeyan campaign was unavoidable.
However. no European power is likely

pitas," answered the witness.
Everybody laughed, and Mr.. Lansing
seemed surprised when he heard M. Rich
ards announce that the iaboriously CON-
piled documents were of no use whatever,
because they contained no information as
TO the Kentucky corporations stealings in
California.
Then came a long and very painful cross
examination, during which Mr.. Richards
tried to ascertain just how near Mr.. Lansing
could come 10 telling the truth about the
Southern Pacific Company's business with
out losing his lucrative position as confden-
tiai comptroller.
Shiyely's attorney was extremely anxious
TO have detailed statements of the shipping
OF commodities and of the receipts of such,
from and at the various coast stations.
Lansing played the artful dodger with
great success.
He had his part well rehearsed and he
stood all the cross-fire Of questions without
being embarrassed.
When he could or would not give direct
reply he delivered brief orations on the un-
seihShness and generosity OF Mr.. hunting
tons company and no amount of Directing
on Richards'fpart could stop the flow OF
eloquence on such occasions.
1t became time for an iDtermission and
with great deal of trouble Secretary Kelly
managed to get that obstinate curtain down
in time.
Jim Rea took Brother Stubs by the arm
and they walked across the street together
to drink some cold tea.
Pretty soon they were joined by Shively
and Richards and they formed the most
harmonious quartet that ever ate luncheon
together.
The afternoon scenes were very much In
the nature of repetition of what had been
done before recess.

lie did not know how much the Central
Pacific, the South Pacific Coast or other
lines are paying 10 these people. 1nforma-
tion on the latter must be gathered from
the officials of TIE respective roads.
However, he promised TO furnish lot OF
statements again next week and he hoped
they were what Mr.. Richards wanted.
Attorney Martin did not like the idea of
having the Fourth and Townsend people
put TO the trouble of furnishing so many
statements.
he said that the commission had right
only TO order the production of the books
and way bills of the corporation.
But 10 ascertain out of the books and
way bills exactly what Mr.. Richards wants
to know would take any one unfamiliar
with the work thirty years, and Mr.. Lans-
Ing stated that trained corps of twenty
I'VE clerks would lie neeOed TO do the work
in a months time.

Spouse to Mr.. Kelly's magnetic touch the

FOUND that while the actors on the stage
were the same as those who performed on
Monday the setting Of the scene had been
slightly altered.

that ShiYely was not ghost at all, but a
