SUPPLIES FOR SCHOOLS.
All Bids Rejected ana New Ones
Called.

Mayor Wright was out of the city
yesterday afternoon, and consequently
President WOlterStOrtf and City Treas
urer Miller were obliged to transact the
business of the purchasing committee
for the school supplies. AT the last
meeting of the committee bids were
opened for furnishing fuel and other
supplies to the school board for the
year ending Sept. L, 1894. A Mr.. May
bell, representing the firm of Wright,
Barrett & Stillwell. who had prepared
bids, was obliged to withdraw the same
owing to his not having presented them
before the time mentioned in the adver-
tiSement. As soon as the bids present.
ed by Maybell had been handed back to
him, Maybell commenced to find fault
with the specifications as set forth i'll
the advertisement. claiming they were
indefinite. and no one could bid intelli-
gently on them. City Treasurer Miller
at once awoke to the necessity of having
all the other bids rejected and new ones
advertised for. The circumstances of
the case were explained to the city
attorney, and then the matter was left
10 him to decide as to whether it
would not be in the interests of ire
form" to have a new deal. at the
meeting yesterday City Attorney Cham
berlain handed in an opinion to the eff
| feet that the advertisement did not
| comply with the legal requirements for
competitive bidding. The advertise
ment, the opinion said, while as good,
and in some respects better. than in
| former years, was too indefinite.
Messrs. Wolterstorff and Miller at once
decided to have all bids rejected, and
ordered the secretary of the school
board to prepare new specifications,
upon the completion of which the city
attorney will prepare an advertisement
in accordance with the law. Some
of the bidders were fearful lest
| the tabulation made by the secretary of
| the school board OF the bids should be
made known, but the city attorney
| stated that he would see that the figures
were not divulged. The purchasing
| committee VIII award the contracts after
| the new bids are received on each item,
and not lump the contracts. There was
some question as TO whether the schools
would not need fuel before the new adj
vertlsement could be prepared and con-
| tracts let, but City Treasurer Miller
| said the present time was too early to
make contracts for coal, as lie had been
| told the prices would be much lower in
few weeks. The source of his infor-
| nation Mr. Miller did not divulg.e

is one of the party, and is the industrial
commissioner of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul road, the promoter of
the excursion. Said he: This is the
fourth excursion of the kind given by
our road. 1t is done with the object OIL
showing to the different people of the
earth the territory through which we
run. and to call attention to the mag
nitude and the resources OF the
country, the methods of agri-
culture, the harvesting appliances,
and the greatness of the Northwest SO
that they may be told abroad. The road
is using the means it has TO show for
eignerS who are III possession OF the
means TO convey to the foreign press
and peoples the advantages of this
country. Up to the present time the
road has sent over two hundred CORE
spondeniS of the foreign press over the
entire line OF its system of roads. MI.
Jackson stated that as a result of these
excursions he is in daily receipt of stacks
of foreign newspapers containing notices
of the Industrial and agricultural re
sources of the country, and he has no
doubt that that the road as well as the
country will be thoroughly advertised
abroad. He said that it it was originally
the intention to confine this excursion
to newspaper correspondents, but the
pressure was so great that several COM
miSsioners from foreign governments
were taken into the party. The great
wheat fields of Minnesota and the
Dakotas are to be visited. For this
purpose the Great Northern road
is called upon to aid the milwaukee
company. Receptions have been pre-
yided for in the country towns.
One of the most interesting events the
party will witness will be the cutting of
Q 10,O00-acre wheat field near Larinore.
1t is proposed to put scores of machines
at work in the great field to cut and
bind the wheat in a single day if posi-
BILE. Judge Larimore, the owner of the
great ranch on which the wheat stands,
is so much pleased over the selection of
his farm for the exhibition that he is
preparing for grand reception.
Too much credit cannot be given to
the railroads for the handsome manner
in which they are treating the excursion
party, and giving an opportunity 10
enjoy the luXuries of travel in this
country and in doing the Northwest the
service OF being advertised throughout
the civilized world

COUNTY PRINTING.
Bids Under the New System of
Awards Opened.

oDCAtOs
The committee ION printing of the
Ramsey county commissioners held a
meeting last night for the purpose of
awarding printing contracts for the last
half of August. 1t was the first meeting
under the new system of letting print
ing for the county offices by bid every
two weeks instead of by contract once
year, as has been done heretofore. The
plan worked quite satisfactorily, espe-
cially considering that it was new feat
ure and on its first trial. There were
seven bidders in all, and the work is
fairly we'll distributed, but Die Volks-
zeitung gets the bulk Of it. There were
fifteen classes of work, the majority of
which were bookS,a land few blanks and
stamped envelopes. As to whether this
system Will be cheaper for the county
than that of letting by contract by the
year still remains to be seen, as the
sufficient to base an estimate on. But
by comparison of several items il can
readily be seen that the printing will
undoubtedly be less during the entire
year. The fact that every printing
house in the city has chance to bid, and
the further fact that work at present is
scarce, will stimulate them all to make
as low bid as is consistent with bust
ness, and the county thereby receives
the benefit of the close competition that
is engendered. 1t also affords the diff
ferent printing houses of the city an OPP
portunity to bid on any class of work
to which their facilities are peculiarly
adapted, as they can bid on
one or more of the jobs wanted.
A study OF the bids received shows that
there was very close figuring by the
different firms, with one exception, that
OF class fifteen, which was bid in by the
Pioneer Press company at SIT so, the
next lowest bidder showing S25.75, va
rance of over IS from the lowest bidder
and difference of Sl2 from the highest
bid, which was $3.50 This is a very
large book. and at the figure given by
the Pioneer Press would be very cheap.
All other classes of work were closely
contested, and on the main Job, six
large record books, the margins were
very close, the highest bid being IS. rs
per book and the lowest $3.50, the other
two being $40 and $3.50 respectively.
Following are the bids in detail:

attractive in these times. if for no other
reason than its name, as it certainly
conveys the idea of business in these
days of depression. When, however,
it is taken into consideration that 1.-The
Hustler" is full of good, substantial
and withal hearty laughter that is en-
gendered by its absurditiss of scene and
situation, and that there is music and
song galore to be heard. there would
seem to be good reason why one should
GO to see wherein lies the success of
that very busy and much-talked-of
parsonage, "The Hustler" John Ker-
nell, the clever 1rishnan, the leader of
his peculiar class OF entertainers, heads
the amusement contingent with 1.-The
Hustler" and he is ably aided and
abetted in his efforts and merrymaking
by number OF the leading lights of
farce-comedy.

Judge Williams, of the United States
circuit court, has filed decision in the
notorious case of Elizabeth Wetzel and
others against the Minnesota Transfer
hallway company and several hundred
others. The case involves 160 acres of
land in the Midway district, that has
long since been divided up into lots,
built upon, and forms part of the city OF
st. Paul. The present value of the
property involved is about $4,000, 900.
The original grant of the land was made
by the United States to q man named
Remsen. who was soldier in the Next
can war, and the location of the land
was made Oh script issued to him. He
died in 1858. and the warrant was issued
to his widow, who lived in Philadelphia
with young daughter. She married
again and then sold the warrant for
slG0. d. G. Taylor and Others took
transfer from the widow, who signed it
for herself and as guardian for the
minor daughter. Afterwards Taylor
located the land and disposed of it, so
that it came down to the present own
erS who have built dwellings and bust
ness blocks thereon. and made other
improvements that amount to more
than the value of the land itself. The
Minnesota Transfer Railway company
has tracks OH part of the land. Ali the
present owners believed their title good
until a couple of years ago, when the
descendants OF Remsen, the soldier in
the Mexican War, began to push their
claims to the land and began the action
in the United States circuit court to
recover all the land embraced in the 100
acre entry aud location. A cross bill
was filed by several hundred owners of
the property asking that the title to the
land be quieted in them. Judge Will
Jams decided that the present occupiers
of the land are entitled thereto, and
disallows the claim of Mrs WetZel and
other heirs on the theory that they neg
lected too long to assert their rights.
The opinion of Judge Williams s is a
lengthy and comprehensive one. In
| deciding in favor of the defendants he
declares this conclusion is reached
| because of the lacheS of the plaintiffs.
| For half century plaintiffs failed to
! bring any suit. until the property had
! advanced from merely nominal vafue
to s., 900, 900; in any event 1t would be
wrong to give them the property, but
especially SO for the reason that orig
inally they had no equities whatever;
full value had been paid them for the
land warrant; while equity will some
| times relieve where the equities are
strong, yet these parties had no equities
| on which to base their application for
relief. On the main case 1t is decreed
! that they take nothing by this action.
| and on the cross bill it is decreed that
the title to the property in question be
forever Quoted in the defendants.

Turner's Decided opinion.

Mr.. John Saddler, an English en-
graver, told this story of beneficial
criticism which he received when a
young man from the great painter,
Turner. Mr.. Turner's opinion as ex-
pressed was not easily forgotten. Sad
dler was an apprentice to George
Cooke, who engraved Turner's South
ern Coast of England" While Saddler
was pupil to Cooke he took plate for
Turner's inspection. Scanning the
plate with his eagle eye, which Sad
dler said he never saw equaled ex-
cept in Sir Edwin Landseer, he asked:
"Who did this plate, my boyP"
"Mr. Cooke, sir. ;"
go and tell your master he Is
bringing you on very nicely, especially
in lying" The boy himself had done a
good portion of the plate.

Three miles from the village of Krisu-
vilk, in the great volcanic district of Ice
land, there is a whole mountain COM
posed of eruptive clays and pure white
sulphur. Although this sulphur noun
tain is wonder in itself, interest CEN
ters to that spot on account of beau.
full grotto which penetrates the west
ern slope to an unknown depth. Tho
main entrance is fissure-lilse chasm,
about 90 feet in height and only 8 or
10 feet in width. The floor inclines
for the first so or 60 yards, and then
suddenly pitches downward, seeming
ly into the very bowels of the earth.
Here the fssure widens into a consid-
erable cavern, with walls, roof, floor,
stalactites and stalagmites, all COM
posed of pure. crystallized sulphur.
