Midway Supply Company Brings
Action Against the Citv

Midway Supply Company Brings
Action Against the City.
Suit was commenced in Justice
Backwell's court yesterday against
the City of st. Paul to recover $50. 20
and the summons and complaint were
served on Corporation Attorney Mark
ham yesterday afternoon. The action
is brought by F. w. Chandler, w. w.
Bcyden and Henry Staples, who, as
the Midway Supply Co., had the con-
tract for sprinkling the Merriam
Park district during the season of 1898.
The complaint sets up that the city
should have paid the firm all of the
amount due them under it's contract
on or before April 1, 1894 That in
stead of doing this 1929 was not paid
until sometime in April, 1895. The
city, the complaint alleges, was paid
at the rate of IL per cent interest on
the defaulted assessments by the
property owners and consequently the
plaintiffs demand interest at z per cent
on the 1929, which was over due a
year before being paid. Assistant City
Attorney Phillips, after reading the
complaint, said there was no point to
the suit. The supreme court had held
that it was the duty of the city to
pay when there was money. in the
treasury which could be applied to
such payment. The assessments were
not paid by the property owners when
the work was completed and as soon
as it was the plaintiffs in the action
had been settled with

was all of the money the widow pos
sessed.
The thieves secured an entrance to
Inc mouse by breaking open the kitchen
door: Mrs. Herda was absent at her
employment and her two little girls,
Mollie. aged seven years, and Rosa,
nine years old, had "a short time before
the robbery, gone to the orphan asy-
lum benefit picnic sat Schades' park
Inc burglars evidently watched the
departure of the children and entered
the mouse as soon as they had gotten
safe distance away. The only thing
OF value loose about the house was the
money, which was in hand bag hang
ing ON nail in the kitchen. This the
thleves evidently overlooked until the
iast moment, as each of the four rooms
IN the house had been completely over
uauleo In Mrs. Herda'S bedroom and
mat or the children the contents were
left IN the greatest disorder. The beds
were torn to pieces and bureau draw
ers with their miscellaneous collections
tumpied about the floor. Even rag
Dag IN the Widows room had been
eiliptled In the search for valuables.
AFTER breaking open the cover of a
sewing machine in the sitting room and
scattering bobbins, thread and needles
ahout the robbers made a search of
ne kltchen and discovered the hiding
place or the money. The burglary was
discovered shortly after o'clock, when
the children came home from the pic

the interior of their home torn upside

MRS. Herda owns her little one-story

from corkscreWs to repairing clocks.
The supplies to be furnished other
than fuel, will cost about $4,000, the
major part being for stationery and

for furnishing $4,000 worth of school
desks, one being sent in by the Thomas

the other, by Brown, Treacy & Co., Of

CAPITOL COMMISSIONERS RECEIVE
A GREATER VARIETY OF COM
BINATIONS THAN BEFORE.
OFFERS GENERALLY LOWER,
AS THE NEW SPECIFICATIONS
CALLED FOR A LITTLE
LESS WORK.
NO AWARDS MADE YESTERDAY
creting on Sub-basements Lower
Than the Others.

The board of commissioners of the
new capital building met yesterday aft
ernoon to open bids for the new struc-
ture, all members being present except
H. w. Lamberton, of Winona.
The bids cover a wider range and a
greater variety of combinations than
the previous lot, and the change in
the specifications relative to the cary
ing, the kind of mortar used in the
brick work and the interior finishing
reduces the amount of labor on the
proposed new building considerably,
estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000, and
the bids are accordingly lower than
the previous ones. The former propo-
sails also called for the bids on the
various parts of the work, including
the dome; these are for all the super
structure work complete, except the
dome, the bids for which will be asked
for later.
There was a large crowd of specta-
tors present at the opening Of the pro-
posals, constituted principally of the
bidders and persons interested in fur
nishing the stone. The bids for con-
creting the endorsements were first
opened and read as follows:

FOOD FOR FARMERS THOuGHT

Corn also at present prices makes
man a good object lesson, in the line
OF financial schooling. Take for in
stance the cost Of running our state
government, which as shown by the
Sentinel, is ~, 420, 1882 per year. To
pay this in corn at present price, 81
per ton, would require 605 100 tons of
corn. A ton of corn in the ear makes
big wagon load, and teams with
wagons loaded with corn, driven one
to each four rods Of road, are as close
together as they should be driven,
which would give US eighty tons of
corn to the mile, in train of farm
ers' teams loaded with corn. This at
81 per ton will make a team train
load of corn worth 81 per rod, or 1920
per mile; and, it would require 1868
miles Of teams loaded with corn to
pay the annual cost Of our state gov
eminent. 1t is said that figures won't
lie, but 1t bothers a man to believe
the above statement. But if we add
to our annual state expenses, the
county, town, municipal and school
taxes, and then try to pay them in
corn at present prices, it would re-
quire a train Of teams and wagons
that would well-nigh reach around
the world to haul corn enough to pay
our annual expenses. Ezra Goodrich

"a deficiency Of money raises the
rate of interest. 1t destroys the ne
gotiability Of property; it obstructs
the mobilization Of wealth; it pre-
vents the conversion of goods into
currency; which ought to be as free as
the conversion Of money into goods.
The vast reserves Of wealth become
unavaila bic for use as loanable capital
because they cannot be converted into
general currency. And hence the rate
OF interest is raised. not from any
want of capital, or reserve wealth,
but because that wealth is no longer
