COUNTY PRINTING aaUABBLEs.
Public Examiner Pope Hopes to
StraiGhten Things Out.

StralGhten Things Out.
County Auditor Henry Weibel, of Wi
mona county, was a caller at the state
house yesterday and called upon Public
Examiner Pope and Printing Expert
Whitney regarding the method of letting
the contract for the official publications
to newspapers in Winona county
There are nine papers in Winona coun-
ty, and the county commissioners have
adopted the plan Of having their proceed
ingS and other official notices printed in
all the papers. Each paper has been al
lowed 25 cents per folio, .one-third of the
legal rate. Publication in all Of the nine
papers, therefore, costs three times the
legal rate. This arrangement was salts
factory to the papers, the taxpayers and
the commissioners, but Gen. Pope holds
that it is Illegal, and Capt. Whitney
exceed the legal rate.
Gen. Pope holds that the county COM
missioners; under the law, are required
to let the contract for the county printing
to but one paper. If that paper is willing
to divide with the others in the county
and to have the official notices published
in all that is none of his business pro-
vided the charge for publication does not
exceed the legal rate.
Gen. Pope intends to call a convention
of county auditors during the current
year to consider matters OF legislation in
connection with their offices, and tho
county printing will probably be one OF
them.
Printer Expert Whitney intends tc
bring up the county printing nnuddle al
the meeting of the state editorial asso-
ciation next month.

FRONTAGE TAX FACTS
PRESIDENT woLTERsToRFF AND
SECRETARY CAULFIELD TO
GIVE COMMISSION IDEAS
COST OF BUILDING MAINS

Chairman of the Water Board Ex-
plains That 1t Is Much Greater
Than Seems to Have Been the
Sentiment of the Members of the
Charter Commission at Their
Meeting Friday Night.
President Wolterstorff and Secretary
Caulfeld, of the water board, will appear
before the charter commission at its
meeting Tuesday night and enlighten the
board as to the facts in the frontage tax
question. The commission, in the pro-
posed new charter, reduced the term of
years for which a frontage tax would
have to be paid from ten to five.
President Wolterstorf, in speaking of
the frontage tax question yesterday, said:
1.-The charter commission discussed the
cost of laying mains, and some of the
members stated that unedr the ten-year
tax, the tax of $40 for a forty-foot lot
would more than pay the cost of laying
the main. The figures do not show this
When pipe was SIG per ton. the cost of
laying a six-inch main was 95 cents per
foot, and a twelve-inch main $2.15. Now
that pipe is about 1874 per ton. the cost,
as one can see has materially increased,
to say nothing about the increase in la
bor In the city we have 100000 feet of
six-inch, 100000 feet of twelve-inch and
10000 feet of sixteen-inch mains. Future
mains to be laid will be about in the same
proportion as to the size and amount The
board received last year about $1G2 600
from the frontage tax, and this year will
get 10000 less. If the term Is reduced
from ten to five years, it will at once stop
all but about $500 per year from this
source The result of this would be that
the water rates would have to be raised a

where the horses were stabbed. The fire
started from some unknown cause, in the
basement though In a short time the
seat of the flames changed from this To-
cahty to the upper floor. Shooting up
fume used for throwing hay from the
third floor to the horses below, the
flames communicated to large quantity
of hay recently stored away and inA a
comparatively short period the third and
fourth floors were fiercely blazinz with
in. The spread of the fire was so rapid
and the threatening nature such that
the firemen were compelled to give all
of their attention. to the building and
surrounding property, so that none of
the horses in the basement were res
cued. Most Of the animals died from
suffocation. After the fire they lay
dead in several feet of water that had
poured into the basement
Two of the horses belonged to Louis
Green, Rosemount farmer. He was de-
livering load Of oats at the stable ard
had put his team in the basement stalls
shortly before the fire broke out. The
team was valued at sl75.
The eight horses belonging to the Gold
en- Rule were the firms most valuable
animals. Jacob Dittenhoefer, of the
firm, says the horses were worth SIPS
each. The~1oss on the feed, one wagon

insurance, divided equally between the
German Insurance Company Of Pitts
burg and the National Onion company.
Most of the damage to the building,
which Is owned by Mrs. II. B. Kelliher,
is to the interior. The first floor was
little damaged, but the upper part or
the building is practically gutted to the
roof. The estimated damage to the
building is $1,000. The building is in>

While the salvage corps and the cen
tral patrol wagon were running on Broad
way to fire at 2SS Grove street, yester-
day afternoon, within fifty yards Of each
other, accidents befell both vehicles at
the same instant. The salvage corps was
leading, with the patrol wagon horses
dashing along a short distance in the
rear, when suddenly one Of the patrol
horses fell down. While the animal was
being showed along the slippery pave
ment by the impetus of the heavy wagon,
attention was detracted from this acci-
dent by the salvage corps wagon crash
ing into a street car, at Tenth and
Broadway, thus bringing the wild run of
both salvage corps and patrol wagon to
simultaneous termination.
The accident to the patrol team was
Of no consequence, for as soon as the
blundering horse regained it's feet the
patrol galloped on to the fire. But more
serious consequences attended the other
accident. Driver George Laughen, of the
salvage corps, was thrown from his seat
when the collision occurred, and other
members of the corps in the wagon were
piled up in the front end several feet
deep. Both horses were Knocked down
and the passengers on the car were Sc
yerely shaken up. The rear platform of
the car was somewhat damaged and
corner Of the salvage wagon splintered.
AS an after result Of the accident Henry
Eschle, a member Of the salvage corps,
was the victim of a painful accident
that tore away the first joint of the third
+ finger of his left hand. When the sal
wage team went down one Of the horses
fell partly under the street car. Eschle
was the first to the animals aid and
tried to free one of the hind hoofs. AS
he pulled the hoof from under the car
the horse struggled and Eschles finger
was pinioned against the car by the
sharp calk Of the horses shoe. The
finger to the first join was almost torn
off, hanging by a shred Other members
of the salvage corps escaped unhurt.
The street car was Of the Lafayette and
Rondo line. 1t had stopped at the curve
where it turns from Broadway to Tenth
street The salvage wagon was on the
right side of the street, but as 1t neared
the car one of the wheels swerved onto
the track and struck the rear platform
with great force The car was in charge
of Conductor Marks and Motorman Hull.
The fire was at the home Of Eta Ham
ilton, 2SS Grove street, and was caused
by the explosion of gasoline tank in a
clothes mangle. The blaze was extin-
guished without damage.

POWER, NOVICE MISTRESS
AT SINSINAWA ;s4
A WOMAN OF RARE TALENT

tory of Her Labors In the Early
Days-She Had Educated Hum
dreds of People at st. Clara Con-
vent, Wisconsin.
Sister M Gertrude Power, o. s. D.,
who died Jan. Z, at the convent Of st.
Clara, Sinsinawa, Wis, was one Of the
best known Of the pioneer sisters of the
Dominican order in the Northwest. Her
work began in the early days, when
the little community of the mother house
at Sinsinawa was being nodded and
guided by It's founder, Very Rev. Samuel
MuzZuchelli. Perhaps no educator in
this section of the country has Influenced
directly or indirectly greater number
of pupils. Her name is known In hum
dreds of Catholic and Protestant families
as well, in Chicago and the whole North
west. Among the clergy she was espe-
cially esteemed, for she had to the full
the old-world and old-time reverence for
priestly office and appreciation of the
priestly character. In speaking of her
friends often quoted that saying Of the
cure of Ars: "If l were to meet priest
and an angel at the same moment I
would do reverence first to the priest"
ONE OF FOUR SISTERS.
Sister Gertrude was the first of four
sisters who successfully entered the Con-
vent of st. Clara-the third of whom,
Mother Emily Power, holds the Office of
mother general of the congregation of the
Most Holy Rosary, whose headquarters
are at Sinsinawa Mound.
In 1867 Sister Gertrude was appointed
prioress Of the Bethlehem convent at
Faribault, Mimi, founded at the desire
of Rt. Rev. Bishop Grave, under the pas
torship of Rev. George Keller The difIl-
culties and hardships Of a new settle
ment In that latitude at that early day
can hardly be realized now. During
many years Of struggle and privation,
Of founding schools and keeping them UP
against mighty odds, the soul of every
undertaking was Sister Gertrude. Des-
pite her exceedingly delicate constitu-
ton she seemed unconscious of hard
ships, and labored at the work for twen-
ty-five years.
