STATE SCHOOL EXHIBIT
ID. e. CLOYD, OF MiNNEAPoLIs, APP
POINTED MANAGER.

The Pan-AmeTican commissioners have
appointed D. E. C1oyd, of the school or
pedagogy at the university, to be man
aSer for the Minnesota educational ex-
hlbit at Buffalo. Mr. C1oyd says he will
do everything in his power to make the
exhibit one of the features in the state
building. A space of 100 running feet
has been secured on the main floor of
the Minnesota building and in this VIII
be placed the results of the work Of
students in the university, the high
schools and the grades. Considerable
space will be given to manual training
and to pictures Of the most important
departments in the university
Assistant Superintendent of Schools ]
d. Bond will have charge of the st. FauI
end of the exhibit and he is already
making preparations for the work before
him. The Minnesota building Will be
completed May 20, and Mr. CIoyd and
Mr.. Bond will have the educational ex-
hlbjt installed about seven days after.
This Is quick work in view of the fact
that the schools close in June
A circular has been sent to all cream
cry men in the state by the commission
asking each of them to send tub of
butter every month to the exposition
Gold medals win be awarded for the
best butter each month. 1t has not been
decided, as yet, whether CT not a prize
Will be offered for the general score at
the end of the exposition. The dairy ex-
hlhlt of this state will be in the dairy
building.
The commissioners met with the joint
committee, composed of members of the
various commercial bodies i'll the city.
yesterday afternoon and preached the
matter of their aid in securing a model
of the new capitol building for the ex-
position The joint committee gave the
matter little consideration because the
members asserted, it was something out
OF their province entirely. The commits
sloners do not feel that they can see
their way clear to get the model and so
the matter will be dropped and given no
further thought
Fl. p. Hall states that the greatest at
traction at the Buffalo exposition Will
be the electrical tower. 1t is mar
Velously beautiful structure and is over
400 feet high. Beneath 1t Is the electric
fountain which adds greatly to it's
charm 1t will outclass anything seen
at the Worlds fair at Chicago in 1893.

that the spirit of the day should be

this is done
With regard to the planting of tr5 es
the superintendent made some Sugges-
llohs for the principals. He says that
straight, thrifty, young trees should be

pace such as the seedlings along fences.
AS hlucn of the tap root and It's main
branches as practicable should be Sc
cured, and he states that those having
an abundance of small fibrous roots are

celVed In digging them than from any
other cause, and the greatest care must

much OF the success in transplanting de-

followed by essays, recitations, quota
lions and singing by the pupils The
most important part of all will be the
planting of the trees. There will be quite
number of schools which will have
trees planted this year if present plans

AS requested, 9ounty Attorney Kane
viii have his opinion relative to the
validity of the bonds in the event of a
change in site for the new county jail.
ready for the meeting of the board of
county commissioners and the citizens
committee this afternoon.
Asked yesterday as to what the optn-
ion would be, Mr.. Kane refused to dis
cuss the matter, but the Inference was
sufficient to show that his stand in the
matter will be radically different from
that advanced by eX-Assistant County
Attorney Zollman. According to mem
bers Of the citizens committee who have
consulted Attorney General Douglass,
that gentleman also fails to agree with
Mr.. Zollman, and he, like County At
torncy Kane characterizes the conrdn-
ton of inValidity as absurd
Knowing ones say the board is divided
on the question of a change in site, with
Commissioner Powers, now out of the
city holding the balance Of power His
position in the matter, however, is I'M
known, and cannot lie obtained until his
return, which Will in all probability be
today. The opposition to the change, it
is said. comes from the old members OF
the board who fear that it will tie up
the construction of the Jail and compel
them when another election comes
around, to explain things that do not
agree with past election promises. With
this very effective division on, the OPP
position would delay matters and final
~ relent by the tine the foundation was
III on the present site and other costly
details i'll full swing, to the extent that
change would no longer pose before
them as bGgaboo? The idea, it is
mere than limited, is to tire out the
citizens committee with talk and The
Springing of legal contentious that Will
require investigation to explain away.
The right Of the commissioners to bui.d
on the present site without the consent
of the city is now being investigated,
the citizens committee having retained
attorneys fer that purpose
One county official offers the suggestion
that the commissioners 1escind the con-
tract for the jail under the present plans
pay the contractor any loss that he may
sustain and allow the Jail to remain in
the present temporary quarters until a
good site can be determined upon and Sc
cured

FRENCH MINERS STRIKE.

WASHINGTON, April ia strike bv
the coal miners Of France, planned to he
general and to include all the miners in
the country, is scheduled to take Mace
ABOUT the end of the coming June unless
terms are agreed upon before that dav
rms latter eventually is not expected ac-
cording to United States Consul Brunot
at st Etienne in a report to the state
department. There is likelihood. too that
other trades will join the strike, SAYS Con-
SUI Brunot, for iron workers f1rnace
men and machinists realize that the
scarcity of fuel, caused by the strike of
the miners, would also throw them out Of
employment. The silk and velvet rih-
Don Weavers are discussing the propriety
OF striking at the same time.
during the past winter the retail price
OF coal was so high that the government
was appealed to for a reduction of the
duties on foreign coal, but this anpeal
was not granted. However, says Con-
sui Brunot, should the domestic supply
be further curtailed and prices advanced
by reason of another strike, it IS not i'm
probable that upon the renewal of de-
mands the government will take meas
ures to facilitate the importation of coal
by reduction of duties and railway
freight rates.

PAINTERS PULL OUT AGAIN
MEN WHO E1AD BEEN WORKING
AGREE TO QUIT.

There were. few developments at the
meeting of the striking painters last
night at Assembly hall. During the day
II had been announced that twenty or
thirty strikers had decided to bolt the
union, and 1T was this which first de
manded attention. Some of the strikers
VINO have been working for F. H. Mann
& Son the past three or four days, asked
the union to be lenient with them and
explained the reasons why they wished
to work The members of the union
explained that this would be impossible.
and then various speakers took the floor
ana a,r urged the strikers to again pull Aut.
Inc discussion was long and tedious. but
1t finally resulted in an agreement of the
Working painters to quit their jobs this
morning It was given out at the meet
ing that none of the men employed by
NorGquist q Son had withdrawn from the
union. - I'm '-t0
The agreement of the working painters

WILL MAKE INVESTIGATION
Head of Health Department Is Com
fident That There Is No Need
of Amy One being
Frightened.

DR.. Ohage has determined to thoroal sh-
ly investigate the epidemic of rabies that
Is thought to be prevalent In the city. 1t
Is the opinion of the dealth COM
missioner that the matter has been much
oVerdrawn and the real existence of
rabies magnified. He feels that the
public has been given an unnecessary
scare and that Investigation Will show
mat the cases Of genuine rabies are
scarce In speaking of the matter DR.
Ohage said:
From the start the local health de-
partment has repeatedly been unneces-
sarily overwrought by reports of mad
dogs. number of the cases that were
reported as rabies proved afterwards to
be something quite different. So MANY
mad dogs were trumped up in different
parts of the city that the health depart
ment became a laughing stock. When
L took charge l determined that there
would be no more joking and when the
mad dog stories were broug ht to me l In
sited on having the existence of rabies
proven. 1 think that at the present tine
there may be several cases of rabies in
the city, but not anything like the num-
Der that have been reported / believe
that the Stanton dog suffered from
rabies. From all that / can learn he
showed all the symptoms. For two
days have been searching for this dog
but he has not yet been found If he
really had rabies he Is no doubt dead by
this time, as his symt-ms were those
OF the advanced stages, and he could not
live long. All Of the dogs in the neigh
borhood that have been exposed have
been quarantined, and if in any case the
quarantine is broken the dog VIII be
shot [ wrote a letter to DR.. Price de-
handing that he report to this depart
ment all cases of rabies that he found.
This he has neglected to do. If he per-
sists in violating the law which demands
that he shall report all cases that come
under his observation | shall have him
prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
This department should know of these
cases of supposed rabies before they
are given to the newspapers. Perhaps
when they are investigated we can save
a great deal of needless alarm
''If this excitement that has been
stirred up by the mad dogs will lead to
legislation for the determination of the
tramp dog it will not have been without
good fruits. The city is overrun by
homeless dogs that constantly run the
streets, snap at pedestrians and bicycle
riders and disseminate disease through
out the community. Any spread of rabies
would come about through these tramp
dogs. 1t is not the dog that stays at
home that makes troubles~I have asked
the corporation attorney for an opinion
as to just how far we can go in Kidding
the city of homeless dogs.
81 am anxious to emphasize once more
the fact that the public has been fright
ened without grounds by the supposed
widespread epidemic of "a bies. This de-
partnent will carefully watch all sus-
picious cases and the outcome can not
be quite so black as has been painted

WORST ON RECORD.
Enrolling Clerks Did Shpshod Work
at Recent Legislature.

According to State Printer c. c. Whit
ney, the work Of enrolling done at the
recent session of the legislature was the
worst on record Many mistakes were
made in both engrossing and enrolling,
and some laws may be invalidated entire
ly by the omission of quotation marks or
punctuation, or by changes in wording
AS rule, the court reads into the stat
ute the obvious meaning when a mistake
has been made, but this causes trouble
and cannot, always be done.
1t has been suggested that a new office
be created during the session of the leg
islature. A careful lawyer should be Sc
lected. with an expert proofreader to as
s1st him, and made responsible for the
correctness Of all engrossed and enrolled
bills. He should read over every word
comparing it with the original bill and
be put under bonds to ensure the absolute
correctness Of the work. The bills are
now hurrfedly compared but most Of
the comparing is done between engrossed
and enrolled copies, and both are likely
to be at fault. Such an official would
save trouble and in some cases prevent
serious errors. The mistake in the Mil
Ter bill taxing express companies two
years ago would have been corrected by
such an official, and several thousand dol
lars in taxes would have been saved to
the state Each house has a committee
whose duty it is to examine and approve
engrossed and enrolled bills but their
work is a mere formality
