DE LAITTRE WORKED UP.
Told Mr.. Seabury of the Alleged At
tempt at Bribery.

Concerning the alleged attempt Of
Minneapolis alderman to bride Capitol
Commissioner De Laittre to vote for
Kettle river sandstone for the new
state capitol, Claiming Seabury, the
chairman of the capitol commission,
said yesterday:
1.-The morning after the bride was
offered Mr. De Laittre came to the
meeting of the commission. He ar
rived early, and 1 observed that he
was laboring under some excitement.
Before the meeting was called to order
Mr.. De Laittre told me that Mime
apolis alderman had approached him
with an offer of $4,000 if he would
cast his vote for Kettle river sand
stone. Mr.. De Laittre declared that
he had not closed his eyes all night so
wrought up was he on account of the
insult. That was about all that was
said. The matter was not brought be-
fore the commission"
Mr.. SeaburYeadded that it was pos
sible that the FACTION of the Minneap
oils alderman might have been IN
furtherance of scheme to prejudice
Mr.. De Laittre against the Kettle riv-
er sandstone people!

LOCAL BRIDGE JUMPER
viii Leap From the Smith Avenue
Roadway.

P Fl. Little has been riding on one
Of Mir. Lowry's street cars for the last
few months, but has become tired of
that. The job is too slow, although
he was on line where business is al
ways good. But there has been no
fame in sight, and Mr. Little said last
night to a reporter for the G o b e
that he is after fame, and incidentally
after a bet he has made that he will
jump from the Smith avenue bridge.
The fact that it is one of the highest
bridges in the country, he said, didn't
worry him. In fact, the higher the
better. After he has made this jump
he will Jump to New York, where he
will jump again. He has made up
his mind to make Mr.. Brodie's jump
ing record look like record of long
ago. Mr.. Little says he intends to
jump from the Smith avenue bridge.
if he has good luck, next Sunday
morning at 10 O'clock He is having
a pair of shoes made with heavy lead
en- sole With these he figures he will
be able to strike the water feet first,
and if he is able to do that he thinks
the rest will be all right.

purpose.
Among the telegraph companies
whose franchises the ordinance repeats
are the American Union, the Mutual
Union and the Chicago & North
western. The Western Union people
informed the committee on streets
yesterday that, in addition ito operat-
ing under their own franchise, they
were also using the franchises of the
three companies mentioned, by virtue
of lease from those companies of the
privileges granted them by the city
Of st. Paul. That being the case, the
Western Union eontended that, mas
much as the franchises of the three
companies were being used. the COM.
mon council could not repeal them.
Chairman Kenny expressed the opin-
ion that the Western Union or any
other. company should be required to
operate under it's own charter alone
and not under franchises leased from
other companies.
The matter was referred to the cor
poration attorney and the city engl-
neer, with instructions to ascertain
the exact condition of affairs in the
matter of the exercise of the fraII-
chises in question.

House of Representatives, q. S. /
Washington, Dec. Ia, '97.
Hon. George Arbo, Bay ST. Louis.
| Dear Sir: 1t is matter of great
Importance that the post-cpidemio
dsinfection of houses and places in
the state Mississippi, where yellow
fever has prevailed during the past
season, should be as thorough as it
is possible to make it.
General Wyman of the Marine
Hospital Service has given especial
attention to this matter, as will be
seen by circular letter relating to
post-epidemic disinfecton and house
aeration issued in the Public Health
Report of December 3, 1897
Instructions have been issued to
Passed Assistant Surgeon J. Ii. White
to visit each place in the state of
Mississippi that has been infected,
and with the cooperation Of the
state and local authorities render
such aid as is necessary for the thor
ough completion of this work.
These instructions state that the
expenses of fumis sation should be
borne, 80 far as possible by the
local authorities, the purpose of the
Marine Hospital Service being only
to meet such expenses as are abso.
lutely necessary upon certification
by the proper health authorities.
That in some localities it is obvious
that part of the work may be done
at the expense of the community and
by the local authorities, the Service
only assuming portion thereof.
Fearing that strict construction
and adherence TO this order would
only add additional burdens to the
already impoverished and distressed
communities that have been afflicted
by the dreaded scourge, and perhaps
have the effect to discourage our
people in this important work of
disinfection and aeration, we called
on General Wyman and assured
him that these infected towns and
districts were unable to bear any
part of this expense, that contribu-
tions had been sent them from all
parts of the state TO supply their &C
tual needs, and that if the work was
done the government would have to
bear the entire expense.
General Wyman stated that under
these circumstances the Marine Hos
pital service would pay all the ex-
pense and that he desired the work
to reach all infected points and to be
done thoroughly.
This undertaking is for the pur-
pose of preventing the reappearance
Of the fever next summer. and since
the expense will be borne by the gov
ernment, we hope that our people
will cooperate and assist Surgeon
White in carrying out these measures.
