TO KEEP CLOSER CHECKS
EXAMINER POPE SUGGESTS GEAT-
Err sTRICTNEsS OF AUDITORS.


Gen. p. M Pope returned yesterday
from W1nona, where he turned the office
Oh county, treasurer over to the newly
elected official Charles Kaiser. Gen.
Pope reports a shortage in the accounts
OF former Treasurer George +. Crise of
about Sl,6ff22, which is fully. covered by
the bond given by the surety company.
Gen. Pope found that the shortage was
perhaps very largely the result of viola
ucn CT the law prohibiting county treas
urers from loaning county funds to any
one, and the further fact that Treasurer
Cr1se did not make the required stale
ment every Gay to county auditor of the
funds in his possession. The law further
requires that the treasurer in all cases
deposit his cash receipts every day in
the bank. This Treasurer Crise failed to
do, an6 one item of $60O drawn from the
bank was not for county uses. Gen. Pope
will, III the case of all county officials, 10

affairs of other county offices and are
quite apparent in other sections of the
state. A circular will be issued by the
public examiners department which will

OF Recognition.

BRILLON, Wis, May 31-Six persons
were killed by an explosion OF dynamite
In the home of William Boehm, at For
est Junction, about eight miles from
Brillon, at an early hour today. The
dead are: William Broehm, Mrs. Will
lam Broehm. three children of Mr. and
Mrs Broehm, ages ranging from two 70
seven years; II. Stevens, a brother OF
Mrs. Broehm.
The cause of the explosion IS not
known. The supposition is that about
twelve pounds of the deadly explosive
was too near the stove, became over
heated and exploded.
No one was left to tell how the ac-
cident occurred, as every occupant OF the
house was killed.
The explosion occurred in the back part
of the house, where the family was sup
posedly eating breakfast. This part ot
the dwelling was scattered all over the
ground, many yards distant, and the
main part of the house was badly wreck
ed. So great was the force Of the ex-
plosion that parts Of balEister was
blown through three walls
The remains of the unfortunate VIC

RECKLESS EXPENDITURES.
Mr.. Jones Springs Two Sensations
in the Senate.


in the senate.
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Jones
(Ark.) made a vigorous attack upon the
administration of the Paris exposition
commission by Commissioner General
Peck
Up to January /, 1909, Commissioner
General Peck had accounted for less than
100000 of the 81, 400, 600 appropriated for
exposition purposes. He demanded to
know where the balance of the appropria-
ton had gone. The so-called detailed
statement contains such items as $72, 900
for clerk hire, $3, 724 for personal travelling
expenses of the commissioner general,
ETC., which Mr.. Jones said We're ridiculous
as "Details"
1T is time" said he, warmly, that
this sort of thing should cease. These
statements oughtt1to- be itemized in ae-
cordance with the mandate of the law"
"Who is this person Peck?' inquired
Mr.. Stewart CNev.)
II do not know replied Mr.. Jones.
"If he is a business man." suggested
Mr.. Stewart, there might be a sus-
picion of his honesty. IF not, his reck-
lessness may be attributed to his ignor-
ance.'51
"What I complain Of continued Mr..
Jones, SIS not that the committees of
congress nave not acted with due dll-
igence, but that no detailed statements
of the expenditure. of public money have
been made. The air has been full of rum
Ors that there, have been the most eXtrav-
agant and unreasonable expenditures of
the fund provided for the American ex-
hibit, and we all know there never has
been any satisfactory report as to how
this money was used"
Mr.. Jones then said that in this connec-
ton he desired to direct attention to the
expenditure of the fund of $50 100000 voted
by congress to the president to be used
as asswar,' emergency fund. He had, he
said, the utmost confidence in the integ-
rity of the president, but thought 1t was
due to the public that atstatement of the
disbursement of that fund should be
made. He referred to a story published
today concerning the purchase of a yacht
at Buffalo, n. Y, the charge being made
that one man had received a commission
of $1,000 for effecting the sale of the YES
sell to the government the price being
$4,000 The yacht now was offered by
the government for $4,000 He called at
tention also to stories concerning the
purchase of ships by the government,
which he believed ought to have the light
of day thrown upon them.
Il Believe said Mr.. Jones, "that such
statement ought to be made as would
set at rest the slanderous rumors and
stories that are af1oat, If they can be set
| at rest. l hope there is not a word of
truth in them; but 1T is due the people
to know how this s5O0O0,O09 was eXpend-
ed"

TROUBLE FOR CENSUS TAKERS.
Quarantine in San Francisco May
Occasion Delay.

WASHINGTON, May 31-The director
of the census has received a telegram
from the supervisor at San Francisc)
indicating that there may be difficulty in
taking the census in that city. He says
that the Chinese quarter is quarantined,
and may remain so for two weeks. He
has asked permission that the enumeIa-
tors be given permission to go within
the lines, and this the health authori
ties are inclined to grant.
Director Merriam replied that it would
be well 10 obtain this permission. but
that the census should rot be undertake
en- at this time unless 1t should be abso-
lutely necessary.
National Statistician Ito, of the Jap
anese government is visiting this gov

in taking census, and by special arrange
ment he will be permitted to accompany

Assert That Lord Roberts May Run
Into "a Trap.


BOSTON, May 81. = Messrs. Fischer,
Vessels and Wolmarans, the Boer en-
voys, were received at the city hall here
today by Mayor Hart and subsequently
called at the state house. The mayer
alluded to the days news from South
Africa and hoped that the adversely sus-
tanned by the Beers might be for the bet
ter. Mr.. Fischer responded affirming
that all he and his compa triots wished
was for justice The ENJOYS do not seem
greatly depressed by the news from
Johannesburg and Pretoria Chairman
Fischer, when full opportunity was
given, did not fail to reiterate the state
ment that the war is by no means ended
Have you noticed he said, to the re-
porter, that the English forces have
not captured a single piece of artillery
or any considerable munitions of wal
from US, since our men have been exc.
cutting their mastery retreat? This ma;
terial has not ascended into the air, nor
has it gone up in Lord Roberts balloons
and the English viii find it OUT to their
sorrow, / am afraid. Our guns, sup
plies, etc, have been taken along with
our troops and they will yet be used ef-
f4ctually, ii [ am not greatly mistaken
The fact that President Kruger has re-
treated to WaterValbaven ana that this
is declared the capital of our govern
ment shows that cur people are still de-
terrnined to win their independence. Our
capital is where the president chooses
to make it. The fact that the British
annexed the Orange Free State the other
day means nothing. The United States
could annex Canada by proclamation, but
something more effective would have to
follow to make it fact

time the nitro-glycerine exploded hum

mother, carrying the baby and q lamp,
fell on a stairway. the lamp setting fire
to the house. The carpets, saturated
with oil from the lamp, burned fercely,
and the boy, realizing that the house
was doomed dragged out a brother ana

he returned for his mother, whose arms
clasped the baby. But her weight was
too great for his little arms, and as the
