MORTGAGE on DAYTON AVENUE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH BURNED.


The annual reception given by the
members of Dayton Avenue. Presbyterian
church to their pastor, DR.. NJ. D. Ed
wards, last night, was, joyous: occasion
to all interested in the welfare of the
church, for the burning of mortgage
was the chief feature of the evening. t
The church was organized twenty-seven
years ago with twenty members, and
DR.. Edwards for, it's pastor, and the
present building was erected in 1885 at a
cost of 100000, exclusive of the lot on
which it stands. Forty thousand dollars
was then paid and a mortgage OF $4,000
was placed on it. In 1893, $5,0ee was paid,
leaving an Indebtedness OF $4,000. This
debt has been a heavy burden to the
church. and. in March last, it was de-
cided TO make a strenuous effort to raise
it. Pledges were taken for S16,4s0, pay
able Nov. l, and $4,000 has already been
paid.
This amount clears the church from all
debt and leaves a balance of 81 ,100 which
will be used as a nest egg towards the
erection of a new Sunday school room.
The one now lin use, the old chapel, is
old; it will be torn down and the new
one erected ON it's site. This is as yet
in the future, and no definite plans will
be made until spring
DR.. Edwards gave brlet address,
which was followed by the treasurer
report. by Mr.. d. sA.fGregg, and brief
talk by E. c.. Strmger. Mrs E. M.
Prouty, president ofnfhe Ladies' Aid So
ciety, then burned the mortgage.
The parlors of the schurch were crowd

by Mr.. and Mrs E.. M. Prouty. Mr.. and

STARTED PRAIRIE FIRE
TWO YOUNG BOYS RESPONSIBLE
FOR BIG BLAZE.

Gen. c. C. Andrews. chief fire warden
of the state, returned yesterday from the
northern part or the state, where he went
some days ago to investigate the causes
of the forest and prairies fires which
have been raging for some weeks in that
section. AS result of his Investigations
Gen. Andrews has concluded that one fire
which extended through two townships
in Morrison county, and one in Mile
Laos county, was started by Two young
boys who were searching for a lostscow-
bell. just what degree of culpability
may be justly attached to the boys the
warden has not been able. to determine,
as he has not yet secured full particulars,
but in the light of such information as
has been obtained, it may fairly be pre-
sUmed that they started the fire by ac-
cident, or at least that they were innocent
OF any intent to- destroy property, and
did not realize how far the work of the
flames might extend.

N'CARDY VS.. 0HAGE
COMPTROLLER REFUSES TO AUDIT
BILL FROM HEALTH DE-
PARTMENT
He MAY BE MANDAMUsED
Claims That an EmpIoye of the De-
partment Is Interested in Bill,
Contrary to Charter, and
Will Not Sign.
He MAY BE MANDAMUsED

City Comptroller McCardy is just now
enjoying the distinction Of being at outs
with the health department, and Incl
dentally counting disaster in clash with
that Napoleon of cleanliness, DR.. Ohage.
Yesterday Mr.. McCardy refused point
blank to audit bill for ambulance hire
and care emanating from that depart
ment. held by H. H. Holden, amounting
to 1899. Mr.. McCardy's refusal was based
on the contention that e. A. Pomeroy.
veterinarian employed by the department.
was interested in the claim, and this was
a violation of the charter.
What the end will be is largely con-
lecture, but a writ of mandamus IS now
being prepared and will be backed by
DR. .Ohage, who says that the comp
trouer is becoming decidedly too dicta~
torial
The claim for ambulance hire and care
dates back several months, when Mr.
McCardy suddenly found that e. A
Pomeroy, who presented the bills, was
in the employ of the department, and re
fused to audit them. AS compromise
H. H. Holden, who owns the livery sta
BILE where Mr. Pomeroy has his ofhce,.
was made the payee, but this change was
refused yesterday by Mr.. McCardy when
he was asked to aff1X his signature.
Prior to the purchase Of an ambulance
the department paid liverymen $22 trip
for every patient taken to the pest
house, but this has since been reduced
to about $3.50 trip, the city paying for
the care of the vehicle .atfd-.team an hire
only.
When the ambulance r-wass~purchased
liverymen generally refused to allow 1t
in their stables, fearing contagion, and
it was only after considerable persua-
sion that the present claimants were
induced to give it shelter.
Dr. Ohage holds that under the present
arrangements the city has saved $4,000,
and this in the face of the fact that more
patients have been taken to the pest
house than ever before.

TAKES ICEMAN'S PLACE
COAL DEALERS DOING A LAND
OFFICE BUSINESS.

The first three or four days of the
present week have been the busiest that
the local coal men have experienced Tor
some time. Hundreds of househelders
who were holding off, hoping that the
price of coal would drop, have been
driven into getting fuel for their fur
naces and getting it quickly, too.
A local coal dealer said yesterday that
in one day they had taken over 700 orders
and every one of them was a rush order
The various tales told the dealers by peo-
pie desiring coal make interesting read
ing. The man who has been putting OIL
starting his furnace has been driven TO
building a fire by the cold weather. ana
he appears at the coal mans office with
a hard luck story about an invalid IN the
family and insists upon an immediate de-
livery. The natural consequence is that
all the available wagons in the city have
been hauling coal for the past four days.
The coal men regard the present sltua-
ton as an object lesson to people VINO
think that by waiting they can save
dollar or so on their winters supply OF
coal. - There. is every reason to belleve
that for the next few years the market
will be short, and it behooves people
who use coal to place their orders early,
as MANY are learning now, to their sor-
row

Attorney Lafayette French, in his argu-

right of any person to attend them, ana

BOARD FIGHT BEGINS
THE SUPREME COURT TAKES UP
NORMAL SCHOOL
MATTER
RICHARDSON'S LENGTHY REPLY
Contends That Normal Schools Are
Charitable Institutions, and In
cidentaIIy Raps Their FL
nancial Management.


When the quo warranto proceedings on
the part of the board of normal school
directors against the state board oe con-
troll came up for argument in the SUI
preme court yesterday so many phases of
the case were presented as to create
complete confusion in the minds Of those
of the auditors not possessed of q thor
ough knowledge of law and the rules of
court procedure
Owing to the fact that the court was
occupied with other business all the
morning the case was not taken up until
about 1:S0 p. m, but the argument occu-
pied all the afternoon. Harris Richard
sons answer on behalf of the board of
control, which is a volun1inous document
and deals extensively in detail, was filed
in the morning. One important conten-
ton of the answer is that the normal
schools are, for reasons which are set
forth at length, charitable institutions
within the meaning of the law, and as
such are embraced within the title OF the
board of control law. He also rehearses
at considerable length the psf history OF
the normal schools under the unrestricE-
ed mana gement of the normal board
showing that deficits int he fund had &C.
Cured regularly for years, and the leg
islature had every year to make de-
ihclency. appropriation for the maintei-
aface of the schools The answer in that
form, introduced into the contention nu-
merons separate issues. and Gen. Childs,
on behalf of the normal board, and La.
fayette French, on behalf of the attorney
generals Office, proposed to Mr.. Richard
son stipulation to dismiss all pleadings
and proceed at once to the constitution
alty OF the law under. agreement that
tine board of control, in its acts with re-
gard to the normal schools, had assumed
TO act and had acted under chapter 122
Laws of 1901, creating the board of con-
troll. This proposition Mr. Richardson re-
Z FUSED to agree to, and therefore the rela-
tors filed demurrer to the answer as
containing new matter and because, upon
its face. it does not constitute defense.
Mr.. Richardson's answer first sets
forth that:
Chapter 122, Laws of 19O1S specifically
PROVIDES that the board OF control shall
nave and exercise full authority. in all
financial matters of the state university.
the state normal school, the state public
school and the schools for the deaf and

It also provides that the board of con-
troll shall disburse all public moneys of
the several institutions named and shall
nave the same authority in the eXpendi-
for as in the other institutions named in

to the educational institutions, which
