BUILDINGS FOR STATE
MANY ARE PLANNED TO BE ERECT
ED NEXT SPRING
Insane AsyIums and Normal schools
to Be Greatly EnIarged-St. Peter
Hospital Will Undergo In
terror Alterations.

Clarence Johnston, architect of the state
board of control, has prepared, or in pro-
cess of preparation, plans for number
of buildings and repairs which are to be
added to the state institutions and upon
which work will be begun as soon as the
frost is out of the ground in the spring.
The foundation has already been put in
for an addition to the Hastings asylum
which will cost $4,000, and there will also
be a new building erected to cost $40 500.
At Fergus Falls there will be new
cottage built for the occupancy of the
superintendent, and for that purpose the
legislature has already appropriated $1,000.
An equal amount will also be spent in re-
modelling the quarters at present yoccu-
pied by the superintendent for use as a
portion of the hospital
An addition to the Anoka asylum will
be built at a cost of $4,000, and there will
also be erected an entirely new building
Of cottage construction to cost $4,000.
At the school for the feeble-minded,
Faribault, two new cottages for epileptic
patients will be added to the present ac-
commodations. They will cost $20, 900
each.
Under appropriations made by the leg
islature of last winter there will be an
addition built to the main building of the
Moorhead normal school at d cost of $40
600, and an addition to the st. Cloud nor
nal school at a cost of $4,000
Beside the important improvements
mentioned in detail there will be repairs
upon nearly all of the state institutions.
The most expensive work in this line
will be at the ST. Peter hospital, where
one of the detached wards will be entirely
rebuilt so far as the interior is con-

AMOUNT is GROWING
PENALTIES AND INTEREST DUE
WATER BOARD AGGREGATE
ABOUT $4,000
HAS DOUBLED IN TWO WEEKS
Expert Accountant Believes That
Much Money Has Been Collect
ed That Has Never Been
Reported.

Two weeks ago Expert Accountant 1e-
derberg reported to the water board that
an examination of the books in tbs
office of County Auditor Johnson showed
collections of penalties and interest ac-
cruing from delinquent water frontage
taxes to the amount Of nearly $4,000
which the board under it's right had
never been credited with. This collection
extended over period of three years,
but in an additional report submitted by
Mr. Cederberg yesterday the amount is
increased to approximately $4,000. This
is spread over a period extending as tar
back as 1884 and completes the examina-
ton.
In concluding his report Mr.. Cederbere
significantly remarks: There is good
reason to believe that the taxes collected
and not reported is considerable"
In brief resume on the unwarranted
and unauthorized refundments that nave
been made in the past, Mr.. Cederberg
cites the cases of Lizzie Kidd and Joseph
R Weide. Against the estate of the lat
ter there stood delinquent water taxes
amounting to $S2136. The Lizzie Kidd es-
tate was delinquent to the extent of S275,
yet in the final settlement neither of the
amounts was demanded. Settlements In
full were given. Taxes in full standing
against the Lizzie Kidd estate amounted
to little over 5000, which was refunded
in October, 1899 On the same day the
entire tax was paid delinquent, with
$1,000 which is about $1,000 less than the
original tax, with the penalties and in
terest. The same procedure prevailed in
the other case, and as a result private
parties were favored to the extent of
over $4,000 at public expense.
The water board is now figuring out
i,o+n oct fn,s 10
Der, and as a test case will demand the
amount from the county. 1t will in ali
probability be denied, after which the
courts will be appealed to.
If the findings are in favor of the
water board the whole amount Will he
collected and then used in wiping out
some of the Departments Indebtedness.

DOWIE ROLLED HIS EYES
IN SILENT PRAYER TO THE CELL.
ING HIGH
His Attorney EIoquentIy and Pa
theticalIy Pleads for Zion's Eli
Jah, but Plaintiffs Attorney
Calls Him u DeyiIfsh.

CHICAGO, Dec. 23-The closing argu-
ment in the case against DR." John
Alexander DoWle for the appointment of
q receiver of his Zion lace industries was
begun by Attorney S. w. Packard today
in Judge Tuley's court. Mr.. Packard de-
nounced the action of Samuel Stevenson,
DoWie's brother-in-law, in having brought
the suit and expressed the hope that his
better spirit would move him to recon-
Citation again with Zion. A strong plea
was made to show that Dowie was not in
. fallible. Attorney Packard likened Dowie
to ]. p Morgan, as a great organizer, but
ne said he doubtless made mistakes. He
does not claim to be more than human"
he said, for in the Bible ST. James says
Elijah was man of like passions with
ourselves.
Mr.. Packard, in upholding DOVES
claims as Elijah, said he would prefer
him at mis- bedside if he were at the point
. OF death rather than any skilled piysi
clan. Mr.. Packard is not a member of
Zion congregation. DR." Dowie and his
wife were present in court with by far
the largest number of followers that has
yet filed the court. During Attorney
Packards recital of Dowie's identity with
Elijah the restorer, Dowie frequently
rolled his eyes upward and gazed at the
ceiling, as though in prayer.
Following Attorney Packard's argument
for the defense, Attorney F. L. Reeves,
for the plaintiff, likened Dowie to a
"deviliish, that twined it's arms about its
victim and Quoted him until it got a
strange hold. He touched upon the death
of Mrs Stevenson, wife of the plaintiff
and sister of Dowie, and said that wheh
Stevenson, in his grief sought out DOVE
as brother and priest, Dowie gave him a
cup of gall and called him murderer.
Arguments closed this afternoon and
the case was given into the hands of
Judge Fuley for decision.

SOCIALISM, DIVORCE AND LAxITY
OF THOUGHT DENOUNCED.

ROME, Dec. 23.-The pope today re-

condemned what he characterized as the
excessive liberty of thought INDUCED in

hostility between different sections of
the church and urged a union of the
Christian churches.
The church, said the pope in the course
of his remarks, is now confrontei by
differences similar to those of earlier
times. There are attempts everywhere to
make the masses enemies of the church,
the religious orders are subjected TO all
kinds of vexatious prescriptions and laws
are being passed in open defiance of
Gods eternal laws. The pontiff said the
only means of successfully combating
socialism was. for Cathoncs to hearken
to and obey the instructions of the

BIG LOSS TO FARMERS.
Milk Producers Suffer by High Cost
of Feed.
Special to The Globe.

SYCAMORE, ILL.,, Dec. 23.-It is claim
ed that the milk now shipped by the
farmers to Chicago is supplied to the
dealers at an actual loss of somewhere
near 80 cents a can. 1t is asserted that
owing to the high price of grain and
hay milk cannot be produced under $1.5O
a can, while the price fixed by the Milk
Shippers union is but $1.15.
The dealer is said to have the upper
hand of the country shipper in this mat
ter, for if the shipper will not send in his
product for the union prices, the dealer
buys from the creameriCs. This can be
done in winter for the milk keeps a
long time in such weather as that which
has been prevailing, without souring.
Besides the high price of feed, the
milk producer has had a great deal to
discourage him during the last fall. a
new disease, caused by cows feeding on
corn stalks, has caused the death of
many good mixers.
An unusually large quantity of potash
is said to be contained in the stalks and
leaves of the fodder, the result of the
extreme hot and dry season. Cattle feed
ing on the stalks died in great agony
in some cases. and the state veterinarians
have been busy with the new affection
for some weeks.

TURKEY CAN NOW EXPEL
PORTE'S LATEST EDICT CANNOT BE
EXCEPTED TO
Nations May Refuse to Allow Citl-
zens to Change Their Nation
,sts~-a atty nder,Reasonable
Regulations.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 429.-The state de-
partment confirms the report that Mr.
Eddy, our charge at Constantinople, is
in correspondence with the Porte rela
tive to the proposed expulsion of nat
uralized American citizens from Turkey
unless these citizens abandon their allie
glance to the United States. Owing to
the absence of naturalization treaty
between the United States and Turkey,
our government has no special authority
to interfere in behalf of these naturaIized
citizens, as against an edict of expulsion.
The reliance upon broad principles of
International law is not strong, for the
principle that a nation may refuse TO
allow its citizens to change their nation
atty has been pretty well established.
But admitting the right of expulsion, the
United States government has a right
to insist that this shall not be attended
by hardships, such as might result from
the allowance of a, very limited period of
time for leaving Turkey. Mr.. Eddy will
take advanced ground on that point, if
he cannot secure the abandonment of the
projected order of expulsion.

MCCONNELL CAN WIN
ATTORNEY GENERALS OPINION ON
PROSPECTIVE PROSECUTIONS.

The state legal department furnished
Dairy Commissioner Mcconnell with an
opinion yesterday to the effect that his
department may successfully prosecute
any person who has adulterated food
products or beverages of any kind.
The opinion had special reference to
the subjects are lard and whisky, and is
based upon section of the penal code
which is very broad in it's scope, and
makes the adulteration of any article
used for food a crime.
Acting upon this opinion the dairy and
food department will pay particular at
tention to the adulteration of whisky and
beer, it having been found that the use
of chemical preservatives in those COM
modities is by no means infrequent. Thus
far the department has not been informed
as to its powers and has not taken up
this question.

Schley episode with the greatest interest
and believe that the hero of Santiago
was the victim of a plot to humiIiate
him to the advantage of administration
favorites.
They know how Cummings stands, and
they believe he will do justice to the adj
miral if it rests with him to go on rec
ord and officially rebuke Schley's perse-
cutors. Representative Democrats and
Republicans alike were enthusiastic to-

ADVICE TO MOTHERS.
THIS INFORMATION WILL PROVE A
BOON TO ST. PAUL MOTHERS.

If juvenile member of your FAM
lily lacks control over the kidney
secretions at night, do not scOId
or whip the child. The coating
or lining of the bladder is in
famed and the secretions are so
full of acid that they irritate that
organ and bed wetting is the re-
suit. The hundreds of testimo-
malls from every state in the
Union, all declaring children
have been cured of this weakness
by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills,
prove that at least in their case
the remedy did what was prom
ised, namely, stopped the So
called habit. Here is proof for
st. Paul mothers.
Mrs T. Downey, No. $50 Agate street,
says: 81 can highly advise the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills for such cases as
that OF our boy. When he was about four
years old he received a severe fall which
injured his back and kidneys. He COM
planned of backache and was troubled
with a kidney weakness, annoying at
night, causing me trouble and anxiety.
We tried many remedies, and doctors
treated him, but nothing did him much
good When learned about Doan's Kid
ney Pills sent to F. M. Parker's drug
store and got a box. There was a no.
ticeable Improvement in a short time and
after he used two and a half boxes all
symptoms of his weakness and pains in
the back disappeared. The cost of Doan' s
Kidney Pills is nothing compared to doc
tors bills and their work is decidedly
satisfactory"
