THE P. A. SEWER AGAIN.
John 7. Yule Objects to the City Paying
for Inspection.


Mr.. EDITOR: Il wish to call the at
tention of your many rellers briefly
to an article in the G ssetf6 OF May 9Th
as follows: =
. The question of the Park street,
sewer came up again last Monday
night, Aid. McGivern moving that the
city pr cure the services of Il compe-
tent engineer and the property owners
do the same, and that they report their
findings inside of ten days. Seems to
us the better way in this matter would
be to require the contractor to show
that the sewer is all right, and not
throw the burden of the proof on those
who are to pay for it, But John Yule
is on the council now; if he don't want
to kick, why we shall not.
There is no doubt Mr.. Editor that
the Gazette man meant the Park ave-
nue. sewer, for Park street sewer is set
tied and is all right up to Ann street
Tor Ashland Ave.) beyond that to me
is very doubtful, but that makes no
difference it is accepted and paid for,
and that settles it. He says that Nc
Givern moving to procure the services
Of competent engineer brought the
question up. | just want to correct
that and say that the Park avenue
sewer came up by my moving the said
sewer be rejected. | made q brief
statement to the council telling them
that | had opened the manhole near
my premises in the presence Of Messrs.
Newell, Strong, Hale, Gottfredsen and
others, and found that there was still
three inches Of water running in sewer
and over two inches Of quick sand in
bottom of pipe, and that we were more
fully convinced than ever that it was Il
very bad job. Ny motion did not re-
ceiye a second, for McGivern was on
his feet in an instant and told the gem
tlemen he b07aUed that Park avenue
sewer was a good one, that it was all
right, that the city engineer had told
him so. Well, that settled it: his pre-
vious motion prevailed aud the mayor
was reconstructed to procure the expert
and make the examination and report
within ten DAYS. Now [ shall insist
that this program be carried out in
full, and the report made as ordered,
except that we, the property owners on
the avenue, will have nothing to do
with the arrangements, for the reason
that in our judgment it is all farce,
because neither party is bound to ac-
cept this report. Let it be what it
may, the city is simply paying $40 for
an opinion; simply that and nothing
more | have offered to arbitrate this
matter with the contractor, and have
us or him whoever loses, pay all eX-
pense, the city not one cent, but he
secuted the idea. then dared him to
sue the city. That he says he can't do
because the city has neither accepted
nor rejected this sewer. That is all
bosh, If he had made a good job of the
sewer he would not have waited all
this time to have the city accept or re-
ject it. Will give tomorrow OF Monday
full account of the success of the
mayor and city engineer i'll their des-
perate effrrt to clean out, doctor up
and put this animal i'll shape for this
public inspection. j. /. YULE.

DESERTS HER FAMILY.

Young and Handsome Wife Leaves
Husband and Children.
Wahpeton, N. D., Special.-A sensa-
ton has been caused here by the re-
port of the elopement of Mrs. Arthur
Brougher with a young farmer named
Edward Sprague. Mrs. Brougher is
the wife of well-to-do farmer of
Sargent county, and was formerly
Miss Grace Thompson, her parents re-
siding at Wyndmere, Richland county.
She was married about six years ago,
has three children, and the relations
between the. couple appeared most
pleasant. While the husband was en-
gagged in threshing for others through
out the county the faithless wife
picked up her household goods and
shipped them to st. Paul. Taking her
baby, she and her paramour followed
and are supposed to be in either Of
the Twin Cities. Before leaving Mrs.
Brougher wrote letters to her mother
and the mother of her husband, re-
uuesting them to take care Of the 9TH
err two children.
Brougher knew nothing of his wife's
desertion until several days afterward
when he returned home from thresh-
ing.
The woman is still young, and is
said to be very handsome, and her
new spouse is the son Of a wealthy
farmer near Havana, Sargent county.

VARIETY OF BUSHES.

ss11edfcs" and claws" Have Spirited
Set-tos ON the Campus.
Minneapolis, Nov. 1O-The ''medics'
and flaws Of the state university met
to-day in foot ball match. From
start to finish everything was in favor
the medics, who won by a score of
2lBs TO Q. Immediately after the game
/ the laws and a number of the acade-
mic students numbering in all about
800, formed in line for a rush on the
needles and gave the academic "yell."
Excitement ran high, and the medics,
though comparatively small in number,
accepted the challenge, formed q
wedge. and charged on the goodly
number. The medics, though not hay
ing more than 300 men in line, swept
all before them, their deficiency in
number being made up in knowledge
ofs muscular action. After the rush the
campus appeared as though a cyclone
had swept over the university grounds.
The fences which stood in the way of
the students were torn down and even
small trees We're uprooted, to say moth
ing of the demoralized condition Of

the constitutional rights. The judg-

The railroad officials claim they have

gin the work of clearing away the de-

put in to fan the flames and cause
them to burn all the faster has been
conducive of good results. The vol
ume of smoke and gas grows less each
day, showing that the fire is slowly
but surely dying out. The notoriety
recently given the tunnel on account
of the fire has caused the officials to
take extra precaution as to letting

THE STATE FINANCES.
Gratifying Condition of the State
Treasury.

Treasury
Bismarck, Special. - The present
financial condition of the state treas
ury, as reported by Treasurer Nichols,
is gratifying to the public. The late
administration left S135.0OO of unpaid
bills and had overdrawn the general
fund $26,OOO, making debt Of $751;
600, and to meet this there were no
funds, and the legislative session was
coming on. To meet the legislative
expenses $4,000 was borrowed. The
legislature. by special act, funded the
$4,000 Of floating debt and paid 1t.
Up to Oct. 1 the state has paid all Its
running expenses and $4,000 of the
$4,000 loan. The balance, $4,000,
will be paid Jan. next, and $4,000
will be paid on the funded debt. The
state has also paid the $4,000 over
draft. When Gov. Allin was inau-
gurated the state was eight months
behind in salaries with all the state in
situations and employees. No wthey
are all paid up to Oct. 1, 1895. State
Auditor Briggs has sent out 675 war
rants. amounting to $4,000, in payment
Of tree bounties. The pro rata share
of the gross earnings tax on railroads
to the amount Of $4S,611.95. has been
divided among the counties Of the
state. Hereafter the roads will pay 4
