APPOINTMENTS ARE
A DREADFUL BORE
Gov. Van SAINT Says So, Especially
When Reporters Bring Them
to Mind

shade of annoyance passed over
the smiling countenance of Gov. Van
SAINT yesterday when a G o report
er inquired as to whether he had de-
cided as to the appointment of nine
members of the state board Of euuaH-
ZatiOn.
Appointments are a dreadful bore"
SAID the governor, "and they are near
Iy always brought to my mind by re-
porters." Recovering his usual urbane
manner, Gov. Van SAINT pushed away
the appointments by declaring that he
had not given the matter much atten-
tlon as yet, but would name the mem
bers of the board of equalization next
week.
1t is possible that the attention of
the governor was called to the board
OF equalization appointments by the
reporter yesterday, but the busheI has
ket of letters from constituents of tbe
chief executive touching on this sub
Ject would indicate that he has not
been allowed to forget it for several
days.
Under the law. the state board of
equalization meets for business the
first Tuesday in September of each
year. In 1900 all the members of the
poard were appointees of Gov. Lind.
Last year half of the board, which in
-cludes one member from each of the
eighteen judicial districts, was an
pointed by Gov. Van SAINT This wear
the remaining half will be named by
him.
The members who retire are those
from the odd-numbered judicial dis
trlcts and include Charles Bechter.
tted wing; j: G. Lawrence, Wabasha !;
A. G. Leick, of Owatonna: 9. nj.
Sprague, Sauk Center; Joseph Die
polder, New Ulm; J. G. Mischler. ~Du-
luth; Fl. M. Palm, Worthington; J. N.
Mari, Aitkin, and G. M. Peterson, of
Fairmont.
None of the retiring members will
be reappointed, except possibly c.. M
Sprague, of Sauk Center, who was ap-
pointed by Gov. Van SAINT to fill a ca
cancy. Mr.. Sprague is a Republican
and on this ground and the further
one that he was appointed by Gov
Van SAINT, he may be again chosen.

SCIENTIFIC MEN TO
EXAMINE AGED SKULL
Prof. Winchell and Warren Upham
Will Assist in the Investigation
of the Relic.

A party of local scientific men, in
Guiding Prof. N. H. Winchell, state
geologiSt of Minnesota and president
of the Geological Society of America,
and Mr.. Warren Upham, secretary of
the Minnesota State Historical society,
leave this morning for Kansas to in
vestigate the alleged prehistoric skull
found last April at Lansing, Kan, and
popularity known as the Lansing
SKULL
At Kansas City these gentlemen
will be joined by experts and profess
sors of that state from Topeka, the
Kansas state university, Lincoln, Neb.,
and also from Iowa.
Beside the two st. Paul men, who
leave today, this city Will be represent
ed by the Hon. j. B. Brower who has
already gone on and who will join them
at Lansing.
The party in all will probably num-
Der some twenty or twenty five scien-
tif1c men, including M. G. Long, cura-
II tor of the Kansas City museum, to
whom the skull now belongs.
Z The Lansing discovery is considered
very important, as it is the first evil
dence found of the existence in
America of the prehistoric man of the
Glacial period. At Little Falls, Mimi,
traces of man have been found belong
ing to the end of the Glacial period,
but the Lansing skull belongs to
period twice as early as the Little
Falls relics.
Thirty-fve thousand years ago is
the period set by science as that of the
Glacial Age, and though several such
skulls have been found in Europe, it
has never been established positively
that in America prehistoric man exist
ed during that period. So that the ver-
ification of the discovery is valuable to
science
1t was unearthed as so many Of
these things are, quite accidentally
while digging a root cellar on a farm,
and is somewhat damaged by careless
handling, the workmen regarding it as
of no value 1t was found firmly en-
bedded under twenty-five feet of drift
deposit.
After the meeting of scientists at
Lansing the ST. Paul party will go on
to Junction City to the dedication of
Coronado mounds.

FIREMEN SARCASTIC
IN ACCEPTING Def
Agree To Do Up the Policemen on the
Ball Grounds
Aug. II.

There were no exchanges of pleas
ant greetings between the copper on
his beat and the firemen in the differ
ent stations yesterday. When the cop
per came to the engine house he soon
noted the f1remen punched together
looking at him askance. Realizing that
his dignity was the only thing that
could save him, the copper strolIed
along with his head in the air hum
ming Casey at the Bat"
Around in the different engine
houses the f1remen were all talking
baseball, and whenever the challenge
issued by the police was referred to the
younger members of the department
had to put on their smoke arresters. so
sulphur1c was the atmosphere On the
side streets the firemen were all ex
ercising their throwing arms, and as
the perspiration rolled down their
faces, their jaws set with grim deter
mination, and the CLINT in their ewes
BODIES no good for the police depart
ment Aug. 21.
AT headquarters Chief Jackson and
Assistant Chief Jerry Strapp, as soon
as the pressing business of the day
was over, grabbed their pens and
started an answer to the challenge sent
by the police as follows:
ITO President O'Connor, Manager
Hanft and Capt Mattocks-Dear Sire
In view of the numerous CHASTITY ffzzles
your department has made in it's pre-
Vlous puny efforts to play baseball
with the fire department. this depart
ment would be justified in recurring
your department to gather a few
Shreds of a reputation to itself before
any challenges need be accepted Law
ing aside all this, this department ac-
cepts your challenge to play ball in
Lexington park Aug. 81, confident that
the members of your department will
once more demonstrate that they could
not hit string of sausages with a
fish pole.
''This department will, for the ben
eft of your department, make all nee
essary arrangements with Mr.. Lennon
for the construction of nine nice little
graves in that portion of the ball park
where the sun shines the most and
where the daisies bloom"
This answer was presented yesterday
afternoon by Assistant Chief Strapr
to Lieut.. Frank Horn. The presenta-
ton was very formal and in silence.

HEATHEN CHINEE is
JEALOUS IN HIS CAUSE
MonqoIians Possess Characteristics
That viii Make Them
Good Christians.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
average American is inclined to scott
at the Chinaman, he possesses many
Characteristics that are away ahead of
those of the Americans said Rev. w.
j. DOherty, in a missionary lecture in
the First Methodist church last even
ing. THE Chinaman is a Buddhist,
and that means that he is heathen,
but, nevertheless, he is jealous in the
cause, and in this respect he puts the
Christian of America to shame.
To-day the Chinese are ancestor
WOTshippers, and the highest aims of
the average Chinese woman is to some
day become a man. Her religion
teaches her that some day, if she is
faithfSa to the cause she may undergo
a physical change and become identi-
fed with the opposite sex. And this
burning desire in the breast of the ma
tive Chinese women is not to be Won
dered at, when one comes to witness
the horrible brutalities that she is call
ed upon to endure daily by her over
bearing husband. He never refers to
her as wife, but instead calls her by
some vile epithet and he treats her as
we would not treat a yellow dog in
this country.
But wait until the Chinese have
been converted to Christianity and YOU
Will see a jealous lot of workers, who
will accomplish just as much for the
cause as they are doing against it to-
day. Once in the fold their zeal will
know no bounds
when a mother will offer I'D her
new born babe. in human sacrifice, be-
cause she thinks that her religion COM
mands her to do so, is there anything
on earth that she will stop short of,
as long as she thinks she is in the
right? When she becomes converted to
Christianity, will she not be just as
Jealous in the cause of Christ? Only
then she will not have to do that which
even the motherly instinct of the Chin
ese woman rebels at to take the life of
her new born babe, merely to satisfy
belief in an unseen agency that does
not exist.
