STATE BOARD OF EXAMINERS.
THEY WILL FURNISH NO MORE
CLAIM BLANKS.
Payroll of the State Printing
Ofiee Will be Allowed at
Regular Meetings.

The State Board of Examiners held
a meeting yesterday afternoon, Secre-
tary of State Brown and Secretary
Marley being present.
Hitherto the board has had printed
and furnished different individuals and
institutions with blanks on which to
make their claims against the State,
but it instructed Secretary Markley
yesterday to notify all such parties that
it will do SO no longer, as there is no
law requiring it to do So 1t VIII fur-
nish a sample blank, and each one can
have his own printing of blanks done
for himself.
There is trouble between the Board
of Managers of the Mendocino State
Hospital and the Medical Superintend-
ent, e. w. King, and on the monthly
bills his salary has been regularly dis
allowed for several months passed, al
though the board virtually recognizes
him as Superintendent, allowing him
to make out and certify all claims pre-
scented to the Board of Examiners and
to attend to other duties.
Ex-senator Preston appeared before
the board to see if his name had been
attached to a claim presented by ex-
superintendent Bank of the Preston
School, asking for money claimed to
be due in lieu of vacations not taken
by himself and employees during the
past year, amounting in all to $445 &C.
1t was allowed by the majority of the
Board of Trustees, but Mr.. Preston OPP
posed it.
Mr.. Preston was told that the Board
of Examiners had refused to allow the
claim on the grounds that it was not
a legal charge against the State; that
it was not itemized as to dates when
the amounts claimed became due, and
the claim was not sworn to and ap-
peared to embrace three fiscal years.
The board allowed the payroll of
the State Printing Office, and an
nOunced that it would do so hereafter
at the regular meetings of the board,
every two weeks.

A Beast Who Goes About the

Indignant citizens in the southern

or two by women whom he has accost-
ed in an insulting manner and with in

in the most insulting manner. One Of
them pIuckily started for him and he
ran away, when she pursued him and
had nearly caught him when she trip
ped and fell She says if she could
have got her hands on him she would
have left her mark on his face.
The other woman called for the pO-
lice and was heard by some men. but
they did not pay sufficient attention I'M

The women describe him as of medium
hight, rather slight in build and dressed

SCHOOLS OPENED.
The Overcrowded Condition of the
High School.

The schools of the city opened for
the fall term yesterday morning, and
there was a full attendance at each.
AS Truant Officer Dole commenced his
duties yesterday, it is anticipated that
the attendance this year will be much
increased.
Any che who doubts that a new High
School building is badly needed in this
city should have been at the opening
of the High School yesterday morning
to sec over 325 pupils entering the
building to take their places in the diff
ferent classes.
Last year the attendance was so
great that the Board of Education was
obliged to hire rooms outside of the
school and in the next block in order
to accommodate the great number of
pupils applying for admission. This
year it will be worse In addition to
the large number of pupils already in
the school there are all the graduates
of the various grammar schools, which
is large, besides country pupils who
have applied for admissions, paying for
it. The school will be very much
crowded. even with the anneXes, and as
the coming week win probably see thir-
ty to forty more pupliS take IHelT pldceS
in the various classes it is barely
possible to get along now with
those who are already there. There
is an unusually large number of boys
this year, the boys being about equal
in number to the girls. which is an
encouraging sign, showing that the
boys are awake to the advantage given
them in life by a high school educa-
ton.
Last year the City Board of Educa-
ton requested the Board of City Trus-
tees tc submit the question of issuing
bonds for a new high school building
to the people, but it was opposed by
some Of the members and was never
submitted as was asked Unless it IS
done within the next year or so it will
only be a short time before it will be
utterly impossible to accommodate the
pupils that apply for admission. In
vesti~ation has shown that there are
a large number of small towns with
less than one-fourth the population OF
this city that far excel it in the beauty
and accommodations of their high
school buildings.
