M;CILL GOING EAST
HE Is TO CONFER WITH POSTAL
OFFICIALS IN REGARD TO
NEW BUILDING
MORE HELP MAY BE NEEDED
Local Christmas Business Has Been
Heavier This Season Than
Any in the History of
the Office.
MORE HELP MAY BE NEEDED

Postmaster A. r. McGill said yesterday
that he would answer the call to Wash
ington, D. c., on or about the first of the
year. The principal business to be con-
sidered by the postoffice officials and Mr..
McGill is the location of subpostoffice
at the union depot in ST. Paul. In addi-
ton to this matter various things per-
tanning to changes, ETC., in the clerical
force Of the local land Office will be con-
sidered. Some changes incident to the re-
moval of the office to the new building
will be necessary, such as additional jan
itors and more help in several other de-
partments, and it is with this end in
view that Postmaster McGill will work
while in Washington.
In speaking of the holiday rush of pos
tai business Mr.. McGill said that it was
by far the busiest season st. Paul has
ever had from the standpoint of the post
office business. In the registry depart
ment alone six extra clerks have been
employed right along, and at that it is a
great problem to get the work caught UP.
The entire force is working in two shifts.
keeping going night and dag, and even
then everyone is behind.
Supt. II. ]. HadIich, of the city deliv-
cry department, estimates that there has
been at least an increase Of 20 per cent
in mail business during the past two
weeks over the business of corresponding
weeks last year. Figures, however, will
not be obtainable until the first of the
year. for, as Mr.. Hadlich expressed it,
the postoffice people have been too busy
to weigh and make total figures of the
mail handled, preferring to get the mail
out rather than compile statistics con-

Next week the board of public works
Will authorize q call for bids on street
paving aggregat ting 500, GOO. This will be
followed by improvements of a similar
nature that will swell the total to half
million dollars
The principal improvement will be Sell
by avenue, from Summit avenue to Vic
toria street, which will call for an sexpen-
diture of $62,150. Of this amount the
street car company will have to pay a
trifle In excess of ts25, COO
The next in Importance will be South
Wabasha, which will cost the property
owners S37.65S. The street car company
Will aid in this improvement to the eX-
tent Of $4,000 Not as large as the 9TH
ers, but fully as important is Tenth
street from Locust to Grove, which will
also include Lafayette avenue, besides
several other minor thoroughfares. The
paving Will necessitate an expenditure of
s29,tc, but the. expense will be somewhat
reduced by the fact that the street car
company has to pay one-third of the
cost.
Bids for these three improvements will
be called for on the 9Th of January, but
they will be immetiia tely- followed by adj
yertisements for business streets equally
as important. These will include South
Robert street, from the Great Western
bridge to Congress street; Eighth street,
from Wabasha to Broadway; Rosa bel,
from Eighth street to Third; Laurel ave-
nue. and Central Park place, east and
west.
Most of the specifications call for
superfine Trinidad asphalt, but in order
to induce the widest competition possible.
owners of rock asphalt mines will be
allowed to compete
Hearings will be held on the latter
improvements next week, property own
ers interested having already been noti-
fed. 9sss

result of the interview is that the y. r.

There wos considerable discussion as
to whether there should be any snow or
not, and although the matter was not
definitely settled, it may be taken Tor
granted that very little, if any, snow
will fall. There is a slight possibility
that there may be few flakes merely
for the sake of a peaceful compromise,
but the amount will be small
The official forecaster says that today
will be exactly the right temperature for

TY COMMISSIONERS.

The board of county commissioners held
meeting as committee of the whole
yesterday morning. While acting in COM
mittee Of the whole no final action could
be taken, but recommendations were
made to be presented to the board in
regular session next Friday, that the
new Jail as modifedlto suit the change
of location from the court house square
to the present site, be accepted. The
first location seleeted was ON a hill side,
and when the action selecting that site
was reconsidered and a level plot of
ground taken, it was necessary to materi-
ally alter several prominent features in
the plans.
c. P. Hoyes appeared before the board
and made a statement to the effect that
an inferior quality of stone was being
used in the construction of the new Jail
building. Mr.. Noyes contended that in
some places the stone now being used
was crumbling.
The contractor for this work, E. J.
Donohue, strongly denied this statement,
and said that .the.spots complained of by
Mr.. Noyes would, when the building was
completed. be covered up by window
sashes, etc. The entire matter was re-
ferred to a special committee to investi-

THEY SPANKED THOMAS
TRAINING SCHOOL DOMESTIC MAN
Ayers REMOVED FOR THIS.
There Was No Cruelty in the Treat
ment, but the Punishment
Was Given without
Authority.

E. J.. North and wife. who have been
connected with the domestic management
of the state training school at Red
Wing for eight or nine years past, have
been discharged from that institution for
having inflicted unauthorized punishment
upon one of the inmates, Thomas Wag-
ener.
Such was the statement made to the
G o b last night by Superintendent
Brown, of the training school, in re-
Spouse to inquiry by telephone. 1t had
been reported in this city that the dis
charge of Mr. and Mrs. North was due
to cruelty on their part toward one OF
the children under their charge, but
Superintendent Brown said that the use
of the term cruelty was not justified by
the facts, as the Wagner boy had mere
Iy been punished in manner frequently
employed by parents in the correction OF
their own children, and had received no
injury of any sort. The discharge of
the Norths was due, he said, entirely to
the fact that the punishment was with
out authority from the proper official
source. The occurrence took place about
a week ago, and the action whereby Mr..
and Mrs North were discharged was TAX
en- on Saturday last.

CHAFES AT DELAY
THE BOARD OF CONTROL
CASE
PLANS FOR PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Additions to Various State Institu-
lions Are Fully Occupying the
Time of the Board
of Control.

Judge Gould, member of the state board
of control from Winona, says that he is
considerably surprised by the delay of
the supreme court in rendering a deci-
sion in the fight between the state board
of control and the normal board.
Judge Gould stated he hoped decision
would have been handed down long be-
fore now, but that he does not expect
that it will be rendered until after the
first of the year.
The judge refused to express any opin-
ion on the current rumers as to now
the court stands on the matter, and says
nothing official has been handed down in
this regard
In regard to the duties of the state
board of control Judge Gould said:
People pretty generally seem to think
that this normal board is nearly adj that
we have to attend to, when in fact that is
only very small part of our duties.
At present we are very laboriously en-
gagged upon the work of preparing plans
for the public buildings that will be
erected during the coming summer.
Among the buildings to be erected over
whose construction the state board Of
control has direct supervision are the
following:
Additions to the asylums at Anoka
and Hastings; two cottages at Faribault:
rebuilding the north detached ward Of
the ST. Peter institution, as well at the
reconstruction of the burnt portion of the
same buildings Besides these buildings
there will be the construction of a bridge
over the Vermillion river at Hastings.
The building of this proposed bridge will
make the asylum at that place much
more readily accessible and greatly fa-
ci1itate the management of. that institu-
ton.
More than this, the board has the
usual amount of work incident to the
supplying of the necessary wants of g.
900 dependents in the various institutions
of the state.
.If it shall be held by the supreme
court that the ncrmals and the univer-
sity properly come under the control of
the state board. we shall have the finan-
cial affairs of those institutions to look
after in addition to our present work :

was great work being done in holding
the Overflow which wanted badly to
stampede. The big sergeant and the big
patrolman became very fierce for the
time being. and their warnings were
needed until Santa Claus came down the
aisle that ended at their door. The sight
of him was the signal for a concerted
rush upon the table that had been placed
i'm front Of the door. With the aid of
the officers the admiring throng was re-
pressed and Santa Claus entered, pick
ing them up to the right and left and
tossing them about in his bluff, hearty
manner
Gifts in Plenty for All.
After the departure of st. Nicholas be-
gan the distribution of gifts. The lodge
lad made arrangements to present to
each child a pair of overshoes, cap
and a pair of mittens. For the girls Tam
O'Shanters were substituted for the caps.
In an adjoining room to the lodge
room We're stored numerous boxes OF
wearing apparel, as well as good things
to eat, and into this squads of young
folks were led.
The Elks, their wives and friends had
prepared for everything, and were there
to receive the toddlers. Chief Goss. Bob

When once the distribution of goods
had begun the room presented a very
busy scene. Department stores have hur-
ry and rush. but in comparison with this
department of the Eizs lodge they were
as staid general merchandise stores in
small village. Apparently none of the
children had the vaguest idea as to the
size overshoes they wore, and when it
came to the size of their heads they were
completely at sea. This necessitated fire.
quent rushes back and forth to the coun-
ter so as to get the right fit, and with
the mass of willing clerks the sight was
inspiring.
AS fast as; the children were given an
outfit of clothing and toys they were
sent out the back door, and all after
neon there was a steady outpour of tots
with blue bags that in many cases were
larger than themselves.

that gave thanks in the name of the

BIDS FOR STATE FUNDS
BOARD OF INVESTMENT PLACES
100000 OF HARD COIN.

The state board of investment. at a
meeting held in the governors office yes
terday, received competitive bids for the
investment of 100000 of the permanent
school funds in bonds of other states.
There were in all seven bidders. and the
competition was so keen that the brokers'
commissions will be very small. The in
vestment will be made through Pepper &
Stern, of New York. 1t was decided to
buy 600 of Massachusetts state bonds
bearing 3 per cent interest and maturing
in 1941 The other 100000 was invested
In Louisiana 4 per cent bonds maturing
in 1914 which were purchased at price
