snys the Plan VIII Go Through.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 25.-President j. j. Hill
of the Great Northern returned from New
York yesterday. He said emphatically that
his proposed plan of consolidation of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific was in
as good shape as ever. After the reorgan-
ization of the Northern Pacific has been ef-
fected,' said Mr.. Hill. ''there Is nothing to
prevent the contamination of my plan of
control. You may say that the deal will
be carried out proposed"

THE COUNTY HOSPITAL

Some weeks ago our attention was
directed to the wretched condition of
the county hospital by reason of the
general lack of cleanliness of the prem
ises and inmates. These complaints
We're made by young women who We're
engaged in the laudable work of the
Emma Hoagland Flower Mission and
who were shocked by what they saw
when they carried flowers into the sick
wards of the county hospital. While
these young women say there has been
n wonderful improvement in the treat
ment and condition of the inmates
since they began their weekly visits,
yet recent Investigations by representa-
tives Of The Bee show that even yet
the institution needs very thorough
reorganization and overhauling.
1t Is simply monstrous that the in
mates of an intirmary are allowed to
wallOw in filth and have their victuals
handled by persons afflicted with con-
tagious blood diseases. 1t is almost
incredible that idiots and insane pa
tients are assigned work in preparing
the meals, which at best are made I'M
wholesome by dressing OF flies, dead
and alive.
The promiscuous mingling of sane and
insane people Is also an abuse that
calls for immediate remedy. When the
county assumes the care and treatment
of its insane 1t is morally bound to pro-
vide the necessary attendants and to
keep them free from contact with help
less people whose poverty happens to
make them county charges. The idea
that men and women who are tempo
rarily lodged at the county hospital
should be exposed TO assault by maniacs
and lunatics is repugnant to every sense
of humanity and decency. 1t recalls
the horrors of Tewksbury and the
Bloomingdale outrages.
1t is to be hoped the county commits
sioners will take prompt steps to cor
rect these evils and put the county hos
pital under the management of super
intendent who has the capacity for the
required work and will devote his time
and energy to the betterment of the
service instead of spending day and
night with ward heelers and political
schemerS.

The Catholic order of Foresters.

The first state convention OF the
Catholic Order of Foresters of Wiscon-
sin will be held in Milwaukee June 4.
The convention will be made up Of
sixty delegates, one from each Forest
ers' court of the state, and will last
three or four days. These arrange
ments were decided on at a conference
of delegates of the Foresters' courts of
the state, which was held Wednesday
evening at Milwaukee. About 200
delegates were present, Including men,
bers from Racine, Kaukauna, Kenosha,
Appleton, Neenah and Menasha. At
the convention to be held high chief
ranger will be elected, as well as a
whole directory of officers for the state.
The order has about 5000 members in
Wisconsin. Heretofore they have
elected delegates to the supreme court
on the basis of one delegate to every
$50 members in the state. This is con-
sidered too many and an effort will be
made at the state convention to amend
the constitution SO as to reduce the
number of delegates to the supreme
court.

Last Weeks Burglary in wheatland.
burlington Standard Democrat

Huntington ard-Democrat.
The town of Wheatland was visited
by bold set Of burglars Wednesday
night, who succeeded in getting enough
of this worlds goods from the farmers
to pay board for week or two. The
first place they visited was the residence
of Henry Heiderman, where they only
got 81. They next visited the house of
the Catholic Sisters, where they we're
frightened away. Ben Lois was next
visited, but nothing secured. Bernhard
Lehrman's, ST., residence was entered
through the cellar. Here the burglars
were rewarded by a haulOf $l1.50 At
VIM. Beimer's they secured $l0.50in sill
yer which Mr.. Beimer had in shot bag
in his pants pocket. John Kirkman,
Jr, scared the burglars away with ashot
gun. They next entered the residence
of Overkamp Bros. and Mrs. Holen-
kamp but secured nothing at either
place. From there they went to the.
residence OF Ben Lehman at Bassett's
station, where they secured $40 in cash
and a gold watch. The store of Bas
sett Bros. was entered and goods to
the amount of $50 taken. This was the
last place the burglars visited and no
further trace could be found of them.
The sheriff at Kenosha and the officers
here were notified Thursday morning,
but as no description could be given Of
the men their search was in vain.

WILL CONTEST THE POINT.
The Matter of Throwing Out the Pasted
Ballots to be Tried in Court.


There will be a legal contest on the
city's hands now, because of the cast
ing out of the votes in the late election
having pastors on them. The A. P. A.
organization will take the matter up
and see if the intent of the voter is not
higher law than the mere technicality
of a possible displacement of paster.
City Attorney Fisher explained to a
NEWS man that there was no other way
of getting around the provisions of the
law as it at present stands. 1t pro-
vides plainly that no paster shall be
used, unless in the instance heretofore
mentioned in this paper. He stated
that the election clerks had no choice
in the matter but to count the pasted
ballots out, but that if ever the law
was brought to the attention of court
it would probably be declared uncon-
stitutional and the intention Of the vo
ter would be declared the highest law.
The whole matter to be brought to the
attention of the court will probably be
that one point. The only ward to re-
port these pasted ballots was the Third.
There, in the returns, there were l54
ballots marked defective. All the
other wards and precincts reported all
these ballots as blanks, and since the
ballots themselves are now burned up,
it will be impossible to say how many
of these so-called blanks were so de-
clared because of the pastors. AS the
matter now stands, there were 1747
ballots cast for mayor, of which DR..
Farr received 10y and Henry M. Rog
ers 454. This makes DR.. Fairs ma
iOrity 653.

The New Alexandria Companv's meth

tested in court
Some days ago The Times published
the case of Miss Carrie Dundas. who
having read the dazzling prospectus of
the concern, went down in good faith
and purchased lot AS soon as this was
all but paid for the company offered to
build house for her and provide a
tenant If she would buy another lot.
Her papers" We're submitted to Messrs
Ralston & siddons yesterday. All she
has 10 show is two memoranda of agree
ment TO buy two lots, although the COM
pany has IN its hands $50 in excess OF
the price charged for the first lot
1t is presumed that the company will
claim that the $50 was to be used for the
building OF the house, but the expressed
agreement was that the company should
have the house built before last Christmas
and the money has not been returned
There are other cases of a similar char
acter soon to be filed against the company
The papers in this case are in the name
Of Carrie Dundas. She is now Mrs F.
Bell. The whole transaction has been so
unsatisfactory that Mrs. Bell wishes to get
all of her money back. She has never re-
ceived deed. and has reason to believe that
the papers she has call for a lot quite
different from the one she was shown when
she went do wn to make the purchase,
