NEWFOLDEN and NEW SOLuJM.

a splendid spring for work, and
now when most people are done seed
ing, a succession Of bounteous show
ers to make things grow! In some
respects nature has highly favored
these towns. She has provided, on
the ridges, excellent building sites,
excellent water, and excellent roads.
While in other parts people may be
puzzling to construct roads, here that
problem has been largely and magni-
fcently solved for US, some {, grading
between the ridges only being neces-
sary. The roads on the ridges never
get out OF repairs, but improve by
use. Yet some people are so little
appreciative Of this great boon that
they close up the good roads on the
ridges and offer to the public other
roads sometimes very bad.
There is. a sad indifference among
some people regarding school attend
ance, some: thinking that if their chill
dren attend long enough to be entiitt-
led to apportionment, they have done
enough. In the case Of many chill
dren this even is neglected. At the
age Of thirteen not a few quit school,
which is contrary to law, and loss to
the districts financially and in other
ways. People. who show such .indif-
ference in regard to the fitting Of their
children for the strenuous competition
OF life, and for useful and noble
citizenship, may yet be devoted par
ents and patriotic citizens, but they
simply do not see ..the disloyalty, to
the children and to the nation, of such
negligence.
Evidently the items which7 appear
under the heading sNeWfolden and
New Solum' cannot claim infalli-
bility. The worst misstatement in
the last issue was that Mrs. Moslet
had been taken to Thief River Falls,
instead Of to st. Hilaire.
Peterson, "a teacher now giving,

and about Bakketown, has organized
a company of sixteen singers, drilling
them in sacred songs every Tuesday
and Friday evening, at Mr.. Bakke's
Or at Rev. S. Tunheim's.
The anti-intemperance society had
its last meeting for the seasongat Mr..
Ihom Ronneberg's, SMiss Ida John
son presiding. The program was sim
liar to previous ones, but owing to
school work and spring work it was
thought best to discontinue the meet
ings for the summer.
The writer of these items knows the
present incumbent Of the register of
deeds office, Mr.. Isaacson, as a pleas
ant man. The writer also believes
that Mr.. lsaacson has given the peo-
pie satisfaction in his capacity.
Messrs. Martin Tunheim, Louis
Larson, Thom Ronneberg, Paul Oh

BUILDING C0LLAPSES.
Stock of Goods Buried in Debris
Other Loss.

The stock of secondhand goods in H.
ROsenberg's store, at the southwest corner
of Sth and D streets northwest, was badly
damaged about o'clock yesterday morn
ing by the collapse of the interior of the
building following the falling of the Chin
ney. The building. a two-story brick struc-
ture. was erected many years ago, and, it
is stated. has been considered unsafe for
some time. Part of the second floor was
occupied by s. ]. Haislipp & Co., awning
makers while Mr.. Rosenberg had consider
able property stored in the front part Of
the building The weight on the upper
floor, it is believed, caused the settling of
the timbers, and the heavy chimney, the
base of which was this floor, fell. A
greater part of the second floor went
through, and the heavy timbers. together
with the bricks and mortar demolished
considerable property.
In addition 10 the demolition of the prop
erty in the building. there was a serious
bullying Of the wall on the d street side of
the structure. When the inspector of
buildings was notified of the accident he
had the side wall braced and roped off the
Sidewalk to protect pedestrians in the event
of the falling Of the wall. Mr. Rosenberg
who was in New York yesterday, was sum
noned home. He will not be able to esti-
mate the amount Of damage done until the
goods are removed from the wrecked build
ing. 1t is probable his loss will amount to
about 5000. The structure will have to be
taken down.

Comment of Capt. Beach ON Sugges-
tion of New Site.

The District Commissioners have &C
cepted the plans for workhouse for male
prisoners. and it is understood that pro-
pOsals for its construction will be asked
for in few days The sum of SJ0.0OO was
appropriated by Congress March 3, 1899.
and the pending District appropriation act
contains an allowance of $4,000 for con-
tinuing the construction of the building.
1t is expected of course. that the structure
will be erected the grounds of the
Washington Asylum, on the extreme east
ern boundary of the city, but in this con-
nection it is pointed out that neither the
act of Congress providing the initial ap-
preparation for this building nor the pend
ing designates the site for this new
prison. The item in the act of March ),
1899. reads as follows: For erection of a
workhouse for males, $4,000" and the
Item in the pending appropriation bill
reads: For continuing erection of a work
house for males. $4,000" From this 1T
would appear that the Commissioners are
authorized to erect the building upon any
land owned by the District.
Speaking of this matter today Capt.
Beach. the Engineer Commissioner, refer

beard Of trade for the removal of the Jail.

their present location to one farther re-
moved from the city. but added that the
board OF trade has failed to suggest lust
where these institutions should be placed.
Their present location. Capt. Beach thinks,

year or so the condition surrounding them

Jersey avenue.
The plans for the new prison were pre-
Pared by Mr.. c. A. Didden, and call for a
structure three stories in height, with
three wings and a frontage of $50 feet
Each wing will contain 144 cells. so ar
ranged that at least 800 prisoners can be
comfortably accommodated. Much care
mas been given to the preparation of the
plans, and 1t is believed that when COM
pleted the building will be one of the best
equipped and most sanitary prisons ever
constructed.

A large number Of people in the south
east section Of the city have requested the
District Commissioners to inform them
whether IT Is the intention of the Anacos-
tia and Potomac River Railroad Company
to complete what is known as the M street
route of the company. By the act of Con-
gress of February 10, 1875, the following
route was authorized: On 18th street east
to NJ street south, thence along M street to
Sd street east. and on NJ street from Sd to
Water street. 1t is commended that no
amendatory act has altered this route
mentioned in the act chartering the COM
pany. The citizens interested ask: Can
this railroad company be compelled to OPP
crate the line last mentioned by any sys-
tenn and not have its charter SO affected as
to destroy its value to It?
1t Is probable that the matter will be re-
ferred by the Commissioners to their at
torney for an opinion.

viding that the commission shall not exist

filed within six months shall be forever
barred. and that the awards shall be final.
Mr.. Payne (N.Y) supported the Mahon
substitute. He thought the claims should
