commodate 12S 1t is to relieve the crowded
condition of the reformatory that it is pro-
posed to erect the additional cell room. The
last legislature made an appropriation of $751;
coo for this purpose. After going over the
matter thoroughly 1t was decided to defer ac-

however. that the building can be completed
within the appropriation If convict labor is
employed.

Mrs. Helen Parker. national treasurer of the

During her stay in the city she made tour

The custom of making a newspaper
man private secretary to the mayor Is
likely to be departed from, as there
was not newspaper man on any Of

Harry Sundberg, clerk in the office
of the clerk of the court, is to be next

berg's capacity as a manager of the
easily managed ones over in the First
ward has commended him as writer of
state papers and for the other duties
that develve upon the man who stands
between the august official person Of
the mayor and the rabble.
In the meantime there is likely to be
shake down in the police department
before the present administration goes
out of power. 1t was evidenced in the
comparatively small matter Of the
transfer of Jailer Stadfeld. He has
been jailer at the central station for
nearly two years and there is nothing
on the record against him. He was.
however, an original Kiefer man, and
he got so far interested in the cam
paign that he got leave for ten days
and went out for the colonel. The day
after election he was eXiled to the
West side. The change is not in the
line of promotion, for the place he has
held only required his services nights,
while the one he has been given will
demand his whole time. 1t was openly
stated yesterday that the pre-conven-
ton Kiefer men on the force would all
feel the weight Of Mayor Doran's dis
approval, and the announcement of the
transfer of Stadfield was just feeler
that will be followed by other and more
important announcements within day
or two.

State Auditor Dunn yesterday issued
a voucher for the fifth estimate Of the
Butler Ryan company on the work on
the new capitol building.
The amount, paidzthe contractors yes
terday on their fifth claim was $27,-

Yesterday, $9,9g5.94 was for 9,342 cubic
feet Of Georgia marble. This was the
largest item Iii the bill.
The, next im order was the amount
charged up against the granite fund.-
$7,145 g.
The state retains, 10 per cent of the
amounts paid ION al estimates until the
building is completed when the
amounts thusf held back are returned
to the contractors.s This is done to pro-
tect the state against any failure on
the part Of the contractors to faith

The states contract with the Butler
Ryan company, dated Sept Z, 1897,
agrees to pay the contractors $685. 900
for the building of the capitol alone,
without any finishings.
The work has progressed with great

can be sawed in single day.
AS the summer progresses, the new
state capitol building will assume still
more definite proportions, and the peo-
pie of st. Paul can see. in a small way,
what the new capitol building is going

The bequest of Martha G. Griswold
was taken up by the library board at
it's adjourned meeting held yesterday.
The bequest provided for a tablet to
the memory of the deceased son of the
testatrix, Louis Burton Griswold, to be
placed in the rooms Of the ST. Paul
public library. The tablet was to cost
not less than $500.
Mrs. Griswold believed her estate to
be worth $4,000. When the will was
probated 1t was found that the property
was worth not more than $4,000, hence
the bequest. when probated would
have given the library an amount in
sufficient to provide the tablet
MI Monfort moved that the be-
quest be not accepted with the proviso
attached. Leaving out the question
as to the amount he considered the
precedent would be had. There was
no reason why such tablet should be
placed in the public library.
The motion prevailed and the be-
quest was declined.
Mrs. McCaine, librarian, asked for an
appropriation Of $35 for the use of the
league to encourage young people to
take care of books. Granted.
The librarians report for April, 1898,
was submitted. 1t Is as follows:
