GEN. PoPE's BILL
VIII Be Submitted to Attorney Cen
eraI Douglas for Opinion.


Public Examiner Pope has referred the
states bill against the city for the ex-
animation Of the various city depart
ments to the attorney general. The city
comptroller has refused to audit the bill
presented by Gen. Pope in behalf of the
state and sent the document back to the
public examiner, acting upon the advice
Of the young men who run the corpora,
ton attorneys Office.
The bill is presented according to the
law which provides for payment for the
states examination of the books Of tho
city. Comptroller. McCardy assigns as
his reason for refusing to pay the bill
the fact that Gen. Pope went back be-
yond the current year. lie claims that
Cen Pope did work for which Mr.. KEN
yon was paid. Nevertheless the fact re-
mains that Mr.. Pope's bill is much small
er for a very extensive examination than
that presented in years past by Mr.. Ken
yon, who saw to it that he received the
maximum limit Of the appropriation.
Gen. Douglas is at Albert Lea trying
murder case, but upon his return the
matter will be taken up by that official
and some action taken on the part Of
the state.

to bring the full meaning of Mrs. Muir

"She could not raise her hands to her
head to- twist her hair" What more is
needed to explain to women the misera-
BILE nature of Mrs. Murdock's case. Help
less and suffering she could not DO the
first simple duties of her own toilet. Here

Considerable excitement was created
among occupants Of Offices in the Mann
heimer block, 107 East Sixth street, short
ly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, by
fire in the elevator shaft that started
| at the ground floor and quickly ran UP the
oily running gear of 1.-THE shaft to the
fourth floor. Meantime the elevator, with
Operator r. M. Groh, was stalled be-
tween the first and SECOND floor, thus add
ing TO the general CONSERVATION, as the
fire tulned both above and below the car.
The bjaze was caused by candle being
overturned by maehinist repairing the
elevator machinery at the bottom of the
shaft. To permit the machinist to make
the repairs the# car. had been run part
way to the second floor, and there block
ed by heavy board being run under
meath to keep it from falling. When the
candle tipped over the flame ignited the
oily woodwork along which the elevator
slides. Like flash the blaze ran up
ward to the fourth floor. Some one pass
ing through the hall saw the fire and
gave the alarm that called nearly every
one in the building into the hallway.
Meantime Operator Groh in the elevator
was in predicament.- He could not send
the elevator upward and feared to let it
down on the board, as he thought the
machinist at the bottom of the shaft
would be crushed, SO he remained Gagged
up, while others endeavored to put out
the fire. The engineer of the building at
tackled the blaze, with buckets of water
| from the fourth floor, and finally succeed
ed in putting out the fire. Elevatorman
Groh, in the car below, was drenched
with water. Meantime some one turned
| in fire alarm, but when the department
arrived the danger was over. The dam
age to the building was slight, while the
| excited occupants were treasured when
| they saw the nature of the fire and re-
| turned to their offices.

WANTS A MILLION.
Plaintiff Goodrich Acts as His own
Attorney In a Law Suit.

Henry E. Goodrich yesterday commenc-
ed an action in the district court to re-
cover S1,000,0OO from the New York Life
Insurance company. The plaintiff acts as
his own attorney, and the complaint is
peculiarly drawn. Sc
Goodrich claims that at Toledo. O., in
March, 1898. he became solicitor for the
company, but in the following month he
says he was informed by Resident Man
ager Duffy, of Toledo, that he was
being blackmailed by an organized gang
of crooks. The complaint states several
of the names of the alleged CROOKS In
addition to these troubles Goodrich says
the agent of the defendant told the pro-
prietor of the Gladstone house, at James,
town, n. D., last November. that ''the
man Goodrich Is crazy and don't you trust
im'' Sd
As a result of this persecution Good
rich affirms that on Dec. %, 1899. he was
called to private interview with the at
torney general and examined as to his
sanity.

WHEN SAFE IS OPENED
More Light May BE Thrown on the
Cbsska County DefaIcatiOn.

Public Examiner Pope received word
over the telephone yesterday from his
deputies, Koerner and Davis, who are
checking up the books Of missing Treas
urer Bongard, Of Chaska, that no definite
information could be secured until the
safe was opened. The vault was opened
and the books taken up and the amounts
on deposit checked up with the county
repositories, and so far with the exception
of one item there is nothing to indicate
that the funds Of the county have been
tempered with. A cash item Of $500 Is un,
accounted for, but 1t Is not unlikely that
the money Is in the safe.
General Pope stated yesterday after
noon that he expected that they would
have the safe open some time today.

That Many Acres Are Being Sold.
C. L. Merrick, deputy land commits
sioner of North Dakota, called on Land
Clerk George Flynn, at the state house
yesterday, and exhibited great deal Of
interest in the method employed in this
state of keeping track of the state
school lands. In North Dakota the SUI
perintendent of public instruction has a
part in the work, and keeps record OF
all state lands, as well as being men,
Der of the board of investment.
Mr.. Merrick says the state of North
Dakota has disposed of a larger acre
age of land during the last few months
than for any corresponding period for
many years. The sale has been confined
very largely to bona fide settlers, and tho
good demand has of necessity greatly
stimulated North Dakota land values.
