NORMAL BOARD VOUCHERS ARE
TUCKED AWAY IN SUPERIN-
TENDENT'S OFFICE
NEXT STEP Is UNCERTAIN
Board of Control Is Ready to Pass
on Vouchers Whenever
They Are Re-
ceived.

The nuch-discUssed vouchers for con-
struction work on the new Duluth normal
school, which were recently rejected by
Auditor Dunn for the reason that thew
had not been approved by the state board
of control, have advanced another stage
on their travels. They are now in the
hands of ]. w. Olsen, superintendent of
public instruction, who, by virtue Of that
office, is also secretary of the state nor
nal board, but what he is supposed to
GO with them has not yet been made
plain. These vouchers, which amount to
about $7,C00, with others drawn against
the current expense fund on behalf of the
Duluth school, were received by Mr.. Olsen
yesterday from Mr.. Phelps, resident di
rector at Duluth They were merely
marked, Referred to Secretary ]. w. Oh
SEN and were not accompanied by any
letter OF instruction or explanation.
Speaking Of the matter to representa-
tive Of the G 0 b e, Mr.. Olsen said: 'T
nave no idea what 1 am expected to do
with the vouchers, but for the present l
have placed them in the vault"
w. e. Lee, of the state board Of con-
troll, when questioned yesterday as 10
whether that body had had any under
standing with President Ankeny or any
other member of the normal board as tt
any plan for the payment of the esti-
mates for construction work on the Tu-
nth school, said: mo, we have not. The
matter had not come before this board in
any manner. The vouchers have not been
submitted to us for our approval nor
nave we been requested to approve them
We have, Of course, read what has
been printed in the newspaper in regard
to the refusal of Auditor Dunn to audit
the CLAIMS, and reports on the subject
nave reached us in various unofficial
ways, but should the vouchers be pre-
scented to us for approval, we would con-
slder them just as though there had been
no unpleasantness
This board does not assume that there
is any contention between it ana the nor
mai board. Thus far the normal board
mas had the contention all to itself, ard
we are like the fellow in the story, we
are wiling for the present at least to
let the other fellow do the walking

THE PLAGUE IN CHINA.
Many Towns Have Been Emptied of
Inhabitants.


WASHINGTON. Aug 26.-The lat
est issue of the weekly publication of
the marine hospital service contains a
number of reports concerning the prevail
ence Of plague in the vicinity of Can
ton, emma, most of which are made bv
missionaries and American PHYSICIANS
connected with the hospitals in Canton
ana neighboring cities. The reports agree
that the disease is epidemic only in a
lew places in Canton, but that it is wide
spread throughout the province of Kwang
lung. one missionary says it is much
more general than in years past and
that instead of being confined TO a
few large centers it is heard of in viii
lagos as we'll as in market towns and
cities
Another reports that the plague trav-
els along the great trade routes, and
ne says that at present eve find the
plague from Hongkong all the way along
the West river for 400 miles, and the
larger the plague center the more the
plague exists"
The reports generally agree that the
disease. instead of being transmitted
from person to person, apparently is
transmitted from place to person. One
of the reports, made by an American
physician, recommends that more atteu-
ton be given to the Chinese methods of
treatment saying that in one case
Chinese physician saved 60 per cent of
his cases, while other physicians lost
"a per cent. The reports agree that the
natives are exceedingly careless in dis
the victims Describing the effects of
the approach of the. disease. the Rev.
John III. Foster, writing from Swallow,
says:
Some places are practically depopu-
lated. all the people having fed to other
towns or to temporary shelters in the
fields or on the hillside. In one town
back of Swallow. numbering over 5000,
there are said to be only 200 or SEQ Deo-
pie now in the place The plain across
the bay is full of mat sheds where the
poor people are taking shelter from this
dread disease. Several weeks ago
passed a village some sixty miles from
here where the people are living in boats
or in the fields: last week a young man
whom ! sent to the town of Nam Leng,
where they tried to use us to open a
market and failed. came in with the news
that he was the only person left in the
village He urges them to bury the rats
that died in their houses. but it is alb
solutely useless to attempt sanitary reg
ulatiOns with a lot of uninstructed peo-
pie here they threw the rats into the
drains or an place that was convenient"
