New Bids Received for the Erection {

New Bids Received for the Erection of
n Building.
On Saturday the new bids were opened
at the office of Architect A. A. Cook
for the construction Of the new con-
vent building. 3Sxl00 feet in size. Bids
were opened some time ago, but were re-
jected, as all were higher than the COM
mittee were warranted to pay The bids
were: Siller Bros, Sl4, ,606; Hook IE Son.
$l4, 700; S. Carle, $l3,674; A. Kimball, SI3.-

Sl4, ,460; w. G. Daily, Sl5,657; James
Schneider, S13, ,7S5.
The lowest bid-that of Silas Carle-be-
ing greatly in excess of what can be spent
on the building, no action was taken pv
the committee. An effort will be made
to modify the plans somewhat before to-
morrow evening, so as to bring the cost
within the amount that the committee
can afford to spend on this portion of the
| improvement. The chief trouble is that
the building, though much needed, is too
large for the sum set aside for its erection.
meeting of the General Committee of
Arrangements, and also Of the Executive
Committee, will be held at the residence
OF Bishop Manogue Tomorrow evening
at O'Clock, sharp, when it is hoped some
plan can be devised so the work can go
on without further delay.

In NIemoriam.

"a Friend'' offers the following tribute
to the memory of Miss May A. Wood,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Wood,
who died on Saturday:
"Those who knew the sweet and gentle
nature of May A. Wood, whose spirit
passed away last Saturday morning like
the calm and peaceful ending of a Joyous
day, must feel that there has gone out
one more life whose earthly mission was
TO love, to comfort, to console aud to
edify. Grander deeds of heroism. ex-
tolled on scrolls of worldly fame, think
are not more pleasing in the sight of God
than that patient, unmurmuring submis-
sion to His will-that marvellous purify.
unselfshness and humility charac-
terized the gentle spirit of her who has
left us. Her life was like the violets that
she loved beautiful in its modest sim
plicity, fragrant in the joy that she gave
TO others. Night was just fading into
morning when her spirit took its flight:
and let rs hope that il was indeed to her
the golden dawning of a grander day."'

CITY CLERKS SALARIES.
The Town Trustees Cannot Raise Them.
Says Mr.. Hart.


Acknowledgement Hart has rendered
the following opinion asked for by H. M.
Shreye, the City Clerk of Tulare City:
Il am in receipt Of yours of 9th ult,.
in reference to the effect of Section 1872 of
'an Act to provide for the organization.
incorporation and government ofmunici-
pal corporations as amended March 2.
1891, has to Section 100 of the same Act:
contents noted.
II think as to cities of the fifth class
the Clerks salary is fixed as specified by
Section 755, Municipal Corporation Act.
unless the Supreme Court should hold
that under Section of Article XI,. of
the Constitution, the right of compensa-
ton must be fixed by the Legislature.
My private opinion is that under that sec
ton of the Constitution the salaries Of
all municipal officers must be fixed bv
the Legislature in proportion to duties.
The late opinion of the Supreme Court
in the case of Dougherty VS.. Austin. in
reference to Deputy County Clerks, seems
to hold in that direction. / have no
doubt when the test comes the Supreme
Court will hold that the power to fix
salaries of municipal officers cannot be
delegated to the Town Trustees. But IL
the Town Trustees can fix the salaries.
and Section 100, Municipal Corporation
Act, is constitutional, / am convinced the
Trustees can decrease the compensation
of the Clerk, but cannot increase it for
the term, for which elected. See Cody VS..
Murphy, 80 Cal. 522."

The ancient Scandinavians believed
that shigh up In the sky is Odln's hall,
the magnificent Valhalla, or temple Of
the slain" They believed that the
vaulted roof of heaven was held in posi-
ton by columns which had formerly
been the spears used by warriors, and
that the roof itself was made OF shields
overlapping each other like coats Of
mail. The "va,kyrs' we're Odn's bat
le-maids, chosen for tho banquetinR
rooms Of his heroes. Tic heroes Of
Odin's hall were thought to put their
helmets on their heads. throw the
bloody harness over sh,dowy steed,
and then with flaming swords to point
the way to Valhalla and act as guides
for warriors slain in battle. The valiant
souls thus received into Od.n's presence
are called "cinhcriar." or, the elect.
The "valkyrs" as white-clad virgins
with flowing hair act as walters for the
einheriar. Each morning at the crow

My last bulletin gave forecasts Of the

September 2 to 6, and the next will
reach the Pacific coast about September
6, cross the Western mountains by the
close of the 7th, the great central val
leys from Sth to 1Cth, and the Eastern
States about the 1lth.
This will be a dangerous storm west
of the Mississippi River on the 9TH and
Sth, and tornadoes and hail may be ex-
pected. This disturbance will cause
general rains, and with it the drought
conditions will disappear
Light frosts may be expected in Mon
tana, the Dakotas, and Minnesota from
the cool wave following this storm. The
cool wave will cross the Western noun
tains about the 9th, the great central
valleys about the 1lth, and the Eastern
States about the 18th. These cool waves
usually cause showers. After this dis
turbance September will give us an av-
erage temperature and two periods OF
severe storms. Frosts will be late and
not severe.
