The board Of public works yesterday
awarded the contract for the paving OF
Fillmore avenue, from South Wabasha
street to Hyde street, to the Omaha
Railway company, the price agreed
upon being $3.50.
The street to be graded and IMPROVE
ed is three blocks in length, and be-
cause of it's low condition, calls for
more than an ordinary amount of fill
ing. This fact, together with the size
of the contract, the engineers estimate
being nearly $4,000; a number Of con-
tractors competed for the job. In en-
tering the field General Manager Scott
said the company's idea was to get a
good job and have IL done as soon as
possible, as the street will constitute
the main artery to the Omaha ter
minals which are now being built on
the West side. Mr.. Scott claimed that
the figure made was almost cost, a
City Engineer Rundlett. None Of the
bidders approached the engineers fig
ureS.
The Omaha company says that as
soon as the street is graded and has
had sufficient time to settle, a request
will be made that 1T be paved. The
road will pay its portion of the cost.
AS fast as possible the other streets in
the vicinity of the Omaha's West side
terminals will be improved and paved.
The company in each instance agrees
to waive it's rights regarding it's la
bility to assessments for public inn
provements.
The other bidders in the contest yes
terday were p. II. Thornton, $5,279; c.
Johnson, $6,499, and p ]. Ryan, S5,440.

SAYS COMPANY IS NOT
FINANCIALLY SOUND
Minnesota Mutual Casualty
Company.

Reviewing the affairs of the Mime
sofa Mutual Casualty company, of St.
Paul, as shown by an examination
covering the period from Dec. 81, 1900,
to July 9, 1902, State Insurance Com
missioner Elmer H. Dearth issued a
report yesterday, in which he said, in
part, that, while the financial condi-
ton of the organization was not such
as to command confidence in the insTr-
ance world, all losses had so far been
met with proper settlements.
Entering into detail, the commission
err stated in his report that an item Of
advances to agents" could not be
considered by the department as an
asset.
It was found that the books and
records on their face showed an in
debtedness on the part of the company
to B. A. Ledy, president, and, reckon
ing this as liability, the department
had found the company insolvent to
the amount of 1,190. Yesterday after
noon President Ledy called upon Com
missioner Dearth and said that he
would release his claim and would file
with the commissioner proofs Of such
release.

girl, and the entire family recognized
the hat when it was shown to them.
Up to an early hour this morning the
body had not been recovered, although
there were several boats dragging the
river with graphing hooks ali day yes
terday.
Although the identity of the girl,
with little possibility of a doubt, has
been established, the motive that led
her to take her life is still mystery
During the three months that she was
in the employ of Mr.. Trott her con-
duct and bearing was such as to lead
the family to believe that she would
be the last girl in the world to commit
suicide. So far as can be learned, she
had little serious trouble with her par
ents in Winona, and she has never so
far as can be learned had a lover.
Mr.. Trott told the police yesterday
that she was of a buoyant nature and
in the habit of congratulating herself
on her happy surroundings. There
were times, when, without an apparent
cause, she would be inclined to be mel
ancholy, but this state of mind invari-
ably passed away in "a brief time. In a
casual way she mentioned to members
of the TrOtt family that her home life
had not been all that she could WISH
but it never appeared that her troubles
in this direction were of a serious char
acter.
She Had No Callers.
So far as the members of the Trott
family know, the girl never had any
male callers. She told the family that
she had some girl friends at White
Bear and it was there she said she was
going when she left the Trott residence
about o'clock Sunday afternoon. Who
t csc girls were the family does not
know, and it is possible that the solu-
ton of the mystery regarding her
death may be cleared when these are
found.
That a girl working on Walnut street
Tor three months should konw the To-
cation of the wing dam, which is near
~ four miles away and entirely out of
the way from all street car lines, is
hardly possible. The locality is to a
great extent inaccessible, and very few
persons, with the exception of those
who live in the immediate locality,
could arrive at the dam without cross
ing the fields. That the girl did not
intend to end her life when she left
the Trott residence at 4 o'clock is quite
evident from the fact that she could
have reached many secluded places on

st. Paul is to become the permanent
home of the Columbian Catholic sum-
mer school. AT least, it is to have a
building of it's own here in the near
future, If the plans of those interested
in the welfare of the institution do not
miscarry.
Eyes, there is a well conceived plan
on foot looking toward the building Of
a st. Paul home for the summer
school," said Prof. Hartigan to r h e
G o b e last evening. "a committee is
now looking into the matter, but until
it's report is made of course we can
make no announcement. So far this
summer the school has been most sue
cessful. The weather has been al
most IDEAL and not only Catholics gen.
orally, but students and scholars of 9TH
er religious denominations have eVinc-
ed deep interest in the various lee
lures, proving this interest by their
regular attendance. In many respects
st. Paul is an admirable place for the
holding of such an institute as the
Columbian Catholic summer school.
The weather is delightful, the city is
conveniently situated, and it is partic-
ularly friendly to Catholic institutions.
No, it is not at all improbable that
among the city's Catholic institutions
there will be numbered in the near fu-
ture well appointed home for the
Columbian Catholic summer school,"
A party of twelve arrived yesterday
from st. Louis to attend the school
during the remaining two weeks A
number of people also arrived yester-
day from Iowa, Wisconsin and North
Dakota.
Lectures on UnIucky Queen.
William P. Breen lectured last even
ing on Mary Queen of Scots" before
large and interested audience. DR..
Breen eloquently pictured the sorrow
full life of Scotland's most beautiful
and most unfortunate queen. The re-
lentless hatred of John Knox and the
jealousy of Elizabeth, queen of Eng
land, were, the lecturer declared, the
chief instigators of the prosecutions
which in the end deprived Mary of life.
1t was curious coincidence, said DIR.
Breen, that those two rival queens,
whose destinies were so intermingled,
never met each other face to face on
this earty. The speaker added dryly
! that many deep thinkers were of the
! opinion that they had never met in
eternity, either, and that there was no
| danger of their ever meeting there.
This afternoon from $3.50 to there
VIII be an outdoor reception on the
| grounds surrounding st. Thomas SEM
! mary for the people of the summer
school. Archbishop Ireland will be
| present. This evening Rev. M. S. Bren-
| nan, of st. Louis, will lecture on Geo

social reform was what made it I'M
popular. All thinking people are in
terested in it, but it also draws to itself
great number of unbalanced theor-
lists, who have a thousand and one
remedies for every human evil, but who
nave no proper equipment for the
handling of such important questions.
CrankS and freaks, dissatisfied pessi-
m1StS and enthusiasts who eSpouse So
called reform movements and discredit
them in the eyes Of the thoughtful.
There is, he said, at all times need of
reform, and especial need that scholar
ly and judicious men will give their
ability to the solution of perplexing
social problems. One obstacle to real
reform, he said, was the fact that a
very influential class of people who
profted by present conditions were OPP
posed to change. Another obstacle is
the large number of people who are
Indifferent. The radicals, who suffer
from present conditions, often lack the
prestige necessary to accomplish re-
forms. The radical and the conserva-
tive are in a constant struggle over the
Indifferent. The conservative would
keep the Indifferent man still indiffer-
ent; the radicals would make him dis
satisfied and therefore convert him into
q radical.
Reform Is LndIess.
Reform, said DR.. Kerby, was never
completed, it is endless and always
| incomplete, because one element of re-
| form invariably leads to another, and
as human society is not perfect, so hui
man conditions are always in need of
| betterment.
He discussed the labor movement as
| a typical reform movement.
Present labor conditions would lead
| eventually to anarchy, he said, if the
rights or capital and labor were not
regulated by law in more equal and
| just way. Laborers, he said, although
greatly in the majority, are practically
| dependent, simply because without
money one is denied culture, refine
ment, leisure and knowledge. Capital
| lists use unlimited power of wealth to
| control public opinion and have the
| support of existing laws. From the
| days of the foundation of the republic
| the political teachings of the states
men have been entirely opposite to the
| social conditions existing. He thought
| the laboring men and the socialists
asked only what they ought to have.

Supposed Lunatic Released on Order of

Thomas Kyle, an old resident of St.

from New Hampton, Iowa, because he
showed signs of mental weakness, was
released from the county Jail yester-
day on the order of City Physician
Richeson.
The New Hampton authorities assert
that Kyle tackled to fence posts pieces

the river bank with much less diff
Guilty. Her action, as witnessed by
several people along the route she took,
were those of person who had recent
ly made up her mind and was in hur-
ry to carry out her plan before she
weakened.
Another strange feature of the case
is that she stopped to count her money
while on her way to the river bank.
Her employer did not know how much
money she had, but he was well salts
fled with her work, and she was sure
of a home for a long time to come.
That it was not want that drove her
to her end is almost certain. The ques-
ton that naturally arises is, what in
tereSt could she have in her financial
condition that would cause her to hes
itate on her way to death to count her
| money. The only logical answer is, that
there was something that it was nee
| esSary for her to have, or life would
not be worth living, and that in her
despair of securing it, she counted her
money once more, knowing full well
that she did not have the amount nee
eSSary.

law, the courts, legislatures, the press,
the church, public opinion, all support
the employing class. The reform move
ment stands alone. 1t is aggressive,
radical, intense. 1t has the power only
of numbers and an ethical idea. Many
condemn 1T and more misunderstood it.
Current history is with labor reform.
A deep sense of right is the dominant
tone of the labor movement There is
profound conviction that fundament-
al right has been violated, but there is
no corresponding sense of duty and
limitations. We are prone to condemn
it on account of its intolerance, where
as the whole capital of the movement
is its deep sense of wrong.
Labor reformers show great impa-
thence with institutions, social laws
and men. If it were otherwise they
would not be in a reform movement.
An acknowledgment of progress would
be an admission that present institu-
lions were solving the problem, and
hence 1T would be weakness. The labor
movement nisunderstands itself. 1t
has poor perspective. A labor move
ment must take it's inspiration from
the ideal.
