GODARD'S OPINION.
Attorney General Rules on New
Biennial Election Law.

Attorney General GODDARD announced
today that county officers will hold
over until the 1902 election, under the
biennial law decision, except where va
cancies viii be made by the second
term limitations Of the state laws. Mr..
GODDARD replying to an inquiry made
by County Attorney J. H Dana, of IN
dependence, set forth these opinionss
Touching the questions arising un-
der the biennial election law not decid-
ed by the supreme court, desire to say
that I have reached a conclusion on
these subjects which is satisfactory to
myself, but am aware that the su-
preme court may take a different view
of the situation, and it will in all prob
ability require a decision or decisions of
that court to settle these questions.
without citing authorities or giving
reasons for my views. will state them
to you briefly as follows.
County officers now in Office will con-
tinue to hold their offices without re-
election or appointment during the
ensuing year, except in cases where
sheriffs and treasurers are now filing
their second terms AS to other cases
there Will be no vacancies which can be
filled by appointment except in case of
death. resignation or removal
Where sheriffs and county treasurerS
are filing their second terms. vacancies
will arise imm ediately upon the ex-
piration of those terms which must be
filed by appointment, and to which ap-
pointment the present incumbentS are
not eligible
1T is my judgment that sheriffs and
treasurers now holding their first terms
viii not be eligible for a second term if
they continue to hold the Office during
the ensuing year.
while the title of the law is broad
enough to cover all county officers, ex-
cept county commissioners, the body of
the act seems to restrict its application
to the officers named, and therefore it
does not in my judgment affect the
election of county high school uus-

Carnegie Still Has S28O,OOO,-
900 to Give Away.

New York, July 10.-The Herald says:
Andrew Carnegie still has 856,000,000
to give away in public benefactions. Mr..
Carnegie himself is authority for this
statement which he made recently at
Slxibo castle to a member of the New
York chamber of commerce committee,
who is now in this city, but wishes his
name kept secret
According to NIr. Carnegie he is still
undecided in what manner to dispose
of his wealth for the public good. He
wishes the public to obtain the best
results from his future benefactions,
and for that reason has not yet formu-
lated any philanthropic statements.
Mr.. Carnegie admitted that free
libraries and other educational institu-
tions would undoubtedly obtain a por-
ton of the millions in question in order
that the plans he had previously adopt
ed should be fully developed. His hear
ers Judged from what he said that he
was considering the advisability Of di-
recting his wealth toward endOwing
and supporting art galleries, scientific
museums and similar institutions.

Live Stock Sanitary Board
Floods the Ceiling.
TWO OFFICES INJURED
The Ceilings and Walls Are
Water Soaked.
Expensive FrescOing Is Almost
Entirely Ruined.

An overflow of water from the lava
tory in the room of the Live Stock
Sanitary commission in the state house
last night despoiIed the office Of Mrs.
Annie Diggs, state librarian, and one
of theroons in the suite of State Super
intendent Frank Nelson. Walls and
ceiling were soaked by the dripping
water, and damage inflicted that will
foot up to near $1,000
The ceiling in Mrs. Diggs' Office was
a work of frescoing art that is now
spoiled. 1t is a pretty fancy of pink
roses climbing through f1eecy clouds.
There was rain in that sky last niglt,
if the country did pant for moisture
everywhere else in the vicinity. The
frescoing and friezes in the state Ii
brary Office is the most costly orna-
mental work in the building. Superin-
tendent Nelson's room had just been
frescoed less than a month ago.
Mrs Diggs was given a fright over
the miShap. By the time Janitor
F'uelz reached her house at o'clock
this morning with tidings of the
calamity on his errand of getting the
key, he was sure there was three feet
of water over the floor. It turned out
that very little water had dripped on
the books, and the damage is all to the
soaked walls.
The deluge occurred through the
leaving open of a faucet running into
the lavatory basin. 1t is a patent lava
tory that closes with a valve, and when
this is shut there is no escape for the
water except over the sides. Several
times the members of the board tried
to get water yesterday afternoon, but
there was no supply. The city pres
sure was very weak yesterday, and the
board is located on the third floor of
the statehouse. Wit Adair, an in
spector from Amarillo, tried gain just
before they closed up for the evening,
and left the faucet open. After night
the pressure came up and the result
was a food

indignation Of the official who told him

Railroads Take Steps to Stop

On the theory that it IS cheaper to

TEN HORSES BURNED.
VIM. COrbett Loses His Big
Barn and Contents.

A large barn belonging to William
Corbett, well known farmer living
nine miles southwest of here was to-
tally destroyed by fire last night. Ten
horses which were in the barn also
perish. A large granary and his
wagons, buggies and implements stored
in the barn were also burned.
The hot, dry weather of the past few
weeks has rendered everything as dry
as tinder, and a fire once started be-
yond the reach of the fire department
is beyond hopes of saving.
