 Another said:
 Look at the class of men who are opposing incorporation. Did you ever hear of one of them who ever sub scrited any money for public use? There is that man Beverage, for in' stance, who collects several hundred dollars each month in rents. He is a sample of those fellows who like to live at the expense of his nei, hb0rs. He has paid just $5 to the fl, .s fund in a year and half. I don't Know a man in the city who is opposing incorpora- tion who is not of this class. They want to get something for nothing"
 Amongst those who are opposing in corporation, of course, are the Moore wharf people. It is thought the fear that to incorporate will work against their interests in the townsite fight fur. nishes powerful motive in this case. Of course, to those sturdy people who have made Skagway what is is and who claim property situated on the Moore forty-three acre claim, the opposition of the Moore's acts as spu' to increase their earnestness Tn favor ef incorpora- tion.

OPPOSED TO CULLoM BILL.
Minneapolis Commercial Bodies Pro-
test Against It.


The Minneapolis commercial bodies are
opposed to the passage OF the Cullom bill,
which seeks to amend the interstate COM
merce act, and yesterday the following
peuuon, signed by j. c. Eliel, president
or the Board of Trade, and W. w Haze
1elhnger, president Of the Jobbers and
Manufacturers association, was forward
ed to Senator Nelson and Congressman
FIeteher for presentation to the senate
and house:
The undersigned, representing the
commercial organizations of the city Of
minneapolis, respectfully petition your
passage of Senate Bill 1889, to amend
An act to regulate commerce. and
known as the Cullom bill In the opin-
ION OF your petitioners the enactment of
TINS measure, granting extended powers
to the interstate commerce commission,
would be detrimental to the commercial
industrial and shipping interests of the
United States"
The Chamber of Commerce adopted
similar resolutions and forwarded copies
to the Minnesota senators and congress-
men.
In speaking of the Cullom bill, Presi-
dent Eliel, Of the Board Of Trade, had the
following TO say: {. 50 5.ses.-
"The objection. to the .Cullofn5 bill is
that it confers arbitrary powers upon the
commission and would enable a govern
mental body, subject to partisan favor
ltlSm, to dictate what rates of freight on
certain comm odities should be charged
by railroads and other carriers. The in
terstate commission as now constituted
is court to Inquire into and pass upon
complaints. If its powers are to be eX-
tended they should not, under American
practice, be sufficient to allow the com
missioners to become dictatoGs, and this
is believed to be what the CullOm bill
means in word, if not in spirit. It is a
step in the direction of governmental
ownership and control of corporate in
terests. Tt is not, in our opinion, what
the business men of this country need"

ON THE DOWNWARD PATH.
Hetress to a Fortune i'm u Life OF
Shame.


A young Minneapolis woman, seventeen
years Of age and heiress to a. large
sum of money, who ran away from her
home eleven weeks ago, was two days ago
found by a Minneapolis detective at
OeiV elm, To-. and Is now at the central
police station.
AS a result of meeting between the
mother and daughter at the NicoIIet
early yesterday morning, when the
daughter was brought back from Iowa,
the mother is now Frustrated The
daughter manifested q heartlessness that
struck terror to the few people who were
present at the meeting. and the mother
fell into swoon from which she was
revived with great difficulty.
The girls hayward life commenced
three years ago when she was but
fourteen years OF age. Her mother was
aware that all was not as It should be.
and made repeated efforts to induce her
to do better, but without avail. About
the middle Of October she Disappeared
from her nome. and since then the police
have been bending every effort to learn
of her whereabouts. Early in the week
word was received from Austin, Mimi.
that she was at hotel there The same
morning detective was sent there she
left the city. She was finally located AT
Oelweln, To-, where she was taken In
charge Thursday. While In Austin the

unprofessienal conduct and of conduct
prejudicial to the best interests of the
profession, but have permitted them to
remain fellows Of the institute in good
standing and in full enjoyment of all the
privileges of membership
The committee recommended that it be
resolved that 1.-THE continued membership
in the institute of persons adjudged
guilty of unprofessional- conduct is Tepug-
nant to its members and is an anomalous
condition" and that copies of the reso-
luton be sent to each member of the IN
stitute.
The alleged unprefessioI4al conduct of
Messrs. Cobb, Harding and Gooch was
in connection with the. building of the
state house at Harrisburg. Pa, to replace
the burned structure.
Several reports were received from
committees and among them that of the
committee on the Presidents address. 1t
recommended that the Quarterly Bulletin
be continued. and the findings and an
nouncements of the executive, and ju-
dietary committees be published therein
and in regard to the admission Of asso-
ciate members Of the institute through

er the treasurer had paid the order or

After many months spent In acquiring
a general and detailed knowledge Of the
situation it was determined that a cor
rect system Of bookkeeping might be
prescribed governing Disbursements
though nothing could be done TO put an
effective "check" upon the receipts OF
the county treasurers. The auditors
were required to procure warrant regis
ter In which should be entered In ono
numerical series all orders and warrants
when authorized. They were instructed
that those warrants when entered should
be charged against the funds on account
of which they We're drawn, and
credited to warrants account, and
that the footing should be posted
direct from the warrant register to the
ledger. It was also decided that when
the treasurer Should make his daily re-
turn of orders and warrants paid, the
total amount should be charged to the
warrants account and credited to the
treasurer, by Journal entry, and thence
posted to the ledger account, thus show
ing at all times the true condition Of
each fund the amount and the character
of orders outstanding and the treasurer $
balance. County boards of audit have
been required TO designate repositories
as provided by law.
Much time was spent In instructing the
several county officials as to the laws
governing their actions. Mr. Pope states
that it Is hoped that, with the close of
the year, every county IN the state will
be operating In compliance with law in
all essentials, and under o uniform
system Of disbursements. He states that
the system in detail Is accurate and ap-
proximately perfect, and will effect
large saving In clerical labor in county
offices, and afford check on disburse-
ments by treasurers and enable the audi
tors to give true statements OF the con-
ditien on ali funds.
In concluding his report, Gen. Pope
states tlaatsthe more difficult question Of
