The Engineer Club Hears Of Work
N....s in Hennepin. e.gs# 49,.
George W. Cooley. county surveyor, read
an interesting paper on county work for
good roads at the meeting OF the Engineers
club last evening. He presented statistics,
showing that the county had built five miles
OF nnacadafn road at cost Of: from 81. 900 to
S., 200 per mile. and thirty miles Of gravel
road at from $500 to $500 per mile. These
roads had been built on such permanent
basis that they will require little -econstruc-
ton in the future, an item which has hither-
to been great source Of expense Most OF
the wooden bridges are being replaced with
stone and iron The work is being done at
present with leased machinery, but the county
board expects to buy It's own machinery be-
fore long with tn appropriation of 5000
Professor w. r. Hoag. Of the state univer-
sity, declared that good road making was an
art rather than p science. The university, he
said, is about to establish a good roads de-
partment which will supplement for the state
the work now being done by the national gov
eminent.

Katool yesterday gave a special demon

their eyes flaming with rage, they awaited
his appearance. The trainer never took
his eyes off them. He spoke short, sharp
commands, and apparently much against
their will, but impelled by a force they
could not resist, they went through their
PAGES. At word from Katool they
leaped to the shelves near each other six
or eight feet from the floor, with barely
room for a foothold. Another order and

THE BOARDS STATEMENT
REGARDING ST. PETER ACCOUNTS
Methods Of Bookkeeping Not Such as
Would Be Tolerated in
Business. .

The charges Of irregularities in the
store acco lnts of the St. Peter hospital
for the insane have been investigated by
the state board of control, which has is
sued a long statement of it's findings This
statement reviews the evidence, which is
already familiar to the public through re-
ports published in T II ] ur n a and
other papers. Following the review of
the evidence is the following:
We make the following quotations from the
instructions of the board to officers of all the
state institutions. sent out in July last. a
copy OF which both Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Teg-
ner admitted, that they had in their Office at
St. Peter and knew of it's contents:
: The steward shall keep separate account
with each article. The name of the article
shall be written in at the head of the page.
He shall use his discretion in the allotment
the annual inventory provided for elsewhere
is completed, the steward shall be charged in
the store record with all goods, supplies and
stores remaining in his possession subject to
From the foregoing quotation : it. is difficult
to credit the fact that, as Mr.. Rogers states,
he did not know that the steward vas respon-
sible for the keeping Of the store record.
In view of the length of time during which
the deficiencies were icing made, and the
further fact that Mr.. Tegner admits that they
were in the habit Of entering in the regular
acquisitions the amounts necessary TO cover
shortages, when discovered, and procuring
the signatures Of both Superintendent Tom
inson and House Steward Miller thereto
without informing them of such fictitious en-
tries; and the further fact that Mr.. Tegner
admits that he "back-dated" many Of his
entries. the board is unable to determine what
became of the goods unaccounted for and
leaves that phase of the case to be deter
mined by parties interested, each for himself
It .is but fair to state that both Mr.. Rogers
and Mr.. Tegner denied positively that any
stores had been taken from the institution.
We are, however able to say that the
methods Of bookkeeping adopted by Mr.. Teg
ner, with the full knowledge and consent O.
Mr.. Rogers. as we believe and as shown BY
the evidence and Mr.. Rogers admissions
would not he tolerated for moment in an!
business house of repute; that the board gave
both Rogers and Tegner full opportunity fc
every explanation asked for by them and die
not act hastily or prematurely before an In
vestigation had been made. but after care
full consideration of all the facts then within
its knowledge; and the board Of control Mer
justified in asking for their Dismissal.

The only trained leopards in existence
are the trio which arrived in Minneapolis
last week with their trainer, Joe Katool
OF the katool show, which has been win
tering at Kansas City. These leopards
will be feature Of Jabour's trained wild
animal arena at the Elks' carnival.
Although the leopard is harder to train
than either, the lion or tiger, Katool has
such wonderful gift for mastering these
ferocious beasts that in eighteen months
he has succeeded in bringing them com
pletely under his subsection and teaching
them more tricks than are ordinarily
learned by their four footed cousins. IN
addition to Jumping hurdles, leaping
through rings Of fire and going through
other more or less complicated maneuvers
the leopards do a. wonderful tight-rope
walking act which, challenges the admira

ORANDFATHER'ST TALES OF NORTH
CAROLINA HISTORY.
Newton Enterpri. e.

NcWtOH pifCs
We have been readin. his week
"Grandfather's Tales OF North Caro-
lima History" by that delightful writer
Col. r. B. Creecy, editor of the Eliza
beth City Economist. They begin
with the landing Of Sir Walter Raj
eigh's first colony on Roanoke Island
in 1884, and include all the principal
events of the States history and many
traditions, legends, sketches and per-
sonal recollections of the distinguished
author. Col. Creecy is the oldest
editor and one of most polished
writer's in the State. He is also, we
believe, the oldest living alumnus OF
the North Carolina University. He
entered that institution in 1881, and
was there with Thos. l.. Clingman,
Thos. S. Ashe, James c. Dobbin. John
Gray Bynum, the elder, and others
whose names are indelibly stamped
on the history of the State. He has
passed all his life in the Albemarle
section, where North Cardinals his
tory begins and possesses fund OF
information about the State unequal
ed. perhaps. by any other man. The
style in which these tales are told is
beautiful in its simplicity. They are
specially adapted to young readers,
and should be in every household
They would be admirable textbooks
for the schools. In view Of the cele
bration to be held on Roanoke Island
this summer, the publication of the
book at this time is especially appro
pirate. 1t will do great deal to-
wards awakening interest in tha
| event.
