A Labor Grievance.

ROCHESTER, July N.-An incipient
labor war is on in this city in connec-
ton with the Broadway sewer, now in
progress of construction. When the
sewer contract was closed with Alex
ander Mclean of Minneapolis a verbal
understanding was included that the
work should be done by Rochester
laborers as far as possible. Mclean
has paid surface men S1.1 and ditch
men s1.5O per day, and these rates
have been maintained in spite Of sew
eral strikes for higher wages. Com
plant has been made that local labor
has been ignored and that room is be-
ing made for imported workmen. The
are insisting on the exact
fulfllment Of the verbal agreement.
The local demand for harvest help has
called away most of the available lab
orers from the city, and the sewer con.
tractors say they cannot get unless
they importe.

Governor vs. Judge.

PIERRE, July @.-President Shannon.
of the board Of regents, did not appear
to show cause why he should not be
removed, but the public examiner and
Pre- sident Sheldon, of the board of
trustees of the agricultural college
we're on hand, and their testimony
taken. Upon this showing, the gov
ernor has issued his order removing
Shannon. just before the hearing be-
gan the governor was served with a
Geographic notice from Judge Camp
bell, stating that he had issued an in
junction order restraining the COVER
nor from taking any further action
toward the removal Of J.. w. Shannon,
making the writ returnable Aug. 2.
The action proceeded regardless of the
order Of the judge, and contempt pro-
ceedings against the governor will
probably be the next move in the
game.

State Cant Pay Its Bills.

DEs MONIES, July 3O.-The state of
Iowa is unable to pay its current bills
at present, and Treasurer Herriott an
nounces that it will probably be thirty
days before the warrants drawn in fav-
or of the state institutions for their
quarterly bills can be met. The funds
are at the lowest ebb for many months
and until the second installment of
state taxes comes in October the state
will be very cramped. This will make
little or no difference in the expendi-
lures, however, as the levies are ample
to meet all expenses of the institutions
but are slow in coming to the treasurer.
