CHARGES TO BE PROBED
NORMAL BOARD WILL LOOK YNTO
STATE TRAINING SCHOOLS
Regular Monthly Meeting of the
BOARD Will BE Held at
Red Wing To-
day.

The state board of control will go to
Red Wing today to hold its regular
monthly meeting at the training school
for the purpose of hearing applications
for discharge and parole and auditing
accounts.
When asked by T h e G o b e yesterday
Afternoon if there would be at this time
any investigation of the management of
the institution the members of the board
said positively that there would not.
Pursuing the subject farther, Mr. Lee
said: Eve shall not during this visit at
tempt to make any investigation or even
make preparatory arrangements for an
investigation as we are very busy here in
ST. Paul with the estimates for supplies
for the next quarter. Tt has been def
nitely settled that there will be an investi-
cation and that it will be held at an early
date, but just when we cannot say at
this time"
Most of the proceedings will necessarily
occur at the school, but some Of the wit
nesses who live in the Twin Cities will
probably be examined here No charges
have been made against any Of the en-
pIoyes except those who have been al
ready discharged from the school and
those who have been already investigated.
The investigation will be thorough and of
a kind to determine the exact char
acter of the management of the school.
1t will be carried as far back as is deemed
by the board to be&necessary.

SITUATION is SERIOUS
MANY SMALLPOX CASES ARE FOUND
IN COUNTRY DISTRICTS
State Inspector Sinks Says Quaran-
tine Regulations Are Not En-
forced, Thus Allowing the
Disease to Spread.

Henry Sinks. inspector for the state
board Of health, has just returned from
Carver county and reports the smallpox
condition in that section to be pretty seri-
Gus, particularly as regards the country
districts. The villages, he says, are look
ing after their patients as well as posi-
bic and taking all the precautions to pre-
vent the spread of the disease, but in the
country quarantine regulations are not
rigidly enforced, and this causes much
trouble.
The towns along the H. & D. division
Of the Milwaukee road, Mr.. Sink says.
are having particular trouble at this time
with smallpox, but the town boards as
far as he has been able to ascertain, are
doing everything in their power to stamp
it out. In the town of Lake, in Carver
county, it was found that while some of
the members Of a certain family were i'll
at home with smallpox others were at
tending school, and one boy who was
broken out with the disease was working
in the local creamery. Under those cir
cumstances the possibilities for spreading
the disease cannot be estimated. At the
town of Cologne in the same vicinity there
are nine families now under quarantine
Inspector Sinks left last evening for
Hibbing, where there has recently been a
fresh outbreak of smallpox.

PAYS MORE INTEREST
CITY TAX CERTIFICATES CARRY
FOUR PER CENT THIS
YEAR
MONEY IS HARDER TO GET
Expected That Half a Million Dol
lars Will Be Turned Into City
Treasury by Small
Investors.

Next Wednesday st. Pauls almost ex-
hausted Golfers will be rep1enished, when
bright shining dollars to the number of
nearly half million will be handed over
the counter at the city treasurer's Office
for deposit in the city's strong box. In
return the depositors will receive an
equal value in the shape of city certif-
Gates, with the additional promise Of 4
per cent for each dollar of their face val
uation.
1t may not be known, but st. Paul
this year is paying more for the money
it is compelled to borrow than it has for
number of years. To be correct, the
city finance committee this year was
forced to pay per cent, where the rate
last year and the year previous was only
per cent.
Bremen yesterday. Money is harder to
get than it was two years ago. City
certificates are safe investment, and
that is all that can be said for them.
They do not bring the returns that other
sources of investment hold OUT
City certificates are eagerly sought for
by the small investor, not so much for
the return they bring, but for the fact
that it is a safe investment Since the
-
has been receiving subscriptions for the
issue and of the half million dollars
worth that will be turned out, more
than one-half of the amount will be
found in the hands Of persons whose
worldly wealth does not exceed IS,
No subscriptions are received for less
than $500, while the limit as a rule for
any one individual is placed at $4,000
For the latter amount, however, there
have been few calls. the average being
$1,000
City certificates, which are practically
a lien on the taxes that are yearly paid
by st. Paulites, are antfcipatory of the
collection of such, being issued for the
purpose of enabling the city to do bus
mess while it is waiting for the tax col
lectfons to come in. They are sold as
money needed, but the total issue for
this year, at least, cannot be greater
than 2,05O,9O8.

FIRE LOSSES ARE HEAVY
TWO INSURANCE COMPANIES WILL.
RETIRE FROM THE STATE.

The state insurance department was no.
tilted yesterday of the retirement from
this state of two of The regular fire in
surance companies which have been do
ing business in Minnesota for years. They
are the Lion Fire Insurance Company OF
London, England, which retiras from the
United States entirely: ana the Swltzer-
land General Insurance company, which
merely withdraws ram Minnesota. Both
OF these companies have been long estab-
Hshed and have dealt extensively in this
state. Discussing the subject of their re-
tirement with T he Clio yesterday,
Deputy Insurance Commissioner Light
bourne said:
This action can be attributed to but
one cause, and that is that the companies
have found business in this field to be
Improbable. It is a well known fact that
fire losses in Minnesota for the year 1900
were very heavy, and certainly some of
the companies were large losers. Reports
for 1901 have not yet come in, but L
judge that the losses for that year will
also run pretty high. Of course the ac-
ton Of the English company is not based
upon its Minnesota business, as it retires
from the United States altogether"

SELL CITY GARBAGE
CORPORATION FUNDS ARE TO BE
sWELLED $4,000 ANNUALLY
FROM THIS SOURCE
FARMERS EAGER PURCHASERS
Several of Them Pay in Advance for
Weekly supply to Be Fur
nished by Health De-
partment.

For the removal of garbage and its KIN
dred products last year st. Paul tax
payers contributed the tidy sum of $4,000.
AS a result of this expediture, 1905 loads
of garbage We're removed, the major por-
ton, which consisted of kitchen Stops
and offal from hotels and restaurants be-
ing carried to the edge of the city linz
it's, where it was taken in charge by
farmers and used for stock and fertilizer
purposes.
This year there will be no reduction in
the cost that will be eXacted for Riding
the city of it's refuse, but the burden
will be somewhat reduced by the fact
that farmers hereafter, If tney want
what st. Paul casts away, will be COM
PEELED to pay for it, AS revenue pro-
Queer the material should bring st. Paul
not less than S., 900 a year.
The scheme was put in successful OPP
Grafton yesterday when farmers to the
number of a dozen paid over the coun-
ter at the health department the sum
OF $125, this emitting each of them to one
load of garbage week for three
months. The price is SIS year for one
load a week, or $100 year when four
loads a week are supplied The money
is payable in quarterly installments in
advance.
Kitchens and back yards contribute in
the neighborhood of nineteen loads or
garbage day, and that 1t is OF use Tor
something is more than manifested by
the daily scramble that is made by near
by farmers for the contents of the
wagons when they are hauled out to
the dumping grounds. The kitchen slop
is cooked and fed to stock, while what
remains furnishes a fertilizer that is
excellent for WORKOUT ground. So great
became the demand last year that trou-
Bile resulted over so-called faVoritism on
the part of the garbage haulers. This
year each farmer contracting for the
offal will have to supply himself with
a wagon similar to those used by the
department This empty vehicle will be
exchanged for full wagon, and the dis
agreeable odor incidental to emptying
one into the other obviated.
Beginning with next month DR.. Ohage
will pay the drivers Of garbage wagons
SIS month. This also includes a team.
Last year rate of $40 was paid.

WANT TO Be ANNEXED
NEWFOUNDLAND WOULD LIKE TO
JOIN UNCLE SANS HAPPY
FAMILY
HAVE NO LOVE FOR CANADA
Internal Friction That Retards In
dustriaI Development Would
Vanish With Annexation,
Says Capt. Martin.

1.-THE large majority of the people Of
Newfoundland is in favor Of annexation
to the United States. In fact with the
exception of few business men in St.
Johns the entire country might be said
to favor the plan," said Capt. Stephen
Martini q native of Codroy, Newfound-
land, at the Merchants last night.
"A comparatively few of the inhabit-
ants" continued Capt. Martin, ARE in
favor of federation with the Dominion
government They feel that to join the
Canadian government would be to saddle
upon themselves heavier taxes than they
could well pay. They are even content
to pay the duties that they are compelled
to pay now rather than affiliate with
Canada and assume portion of the bur-
den of the Dominion governments debt.
The people of Newfoundland feel very
friendly towards the United States and
admire this country's constitution and the
progressiveness of its citizens. They
would gladly affiliate with the United
States and are of the opinion that it
would be of benefit to them.
"Of course the principal industry Of
the country is the fish trade, and as this
is largely with the United States at pres
ent it could be carried on to a far greater
advantage if Newfoundland was a part
Of the American government. There are,
st. Johns who for solely selfish reasons
would like to see the confederation. They
are in the minority, however, and what
might be called the universal sentiment,
is toward annexation
Il have just come from Newfoundland
and am on my way to Yukon, where
have spent the past twelve years, and
L noticed a marvellous change in the con-
ditions there. The country is rapidly be-
iTpT
railroads, business is good all over the
country and barring the friction with the
French, the country would be perfect, if
it were not for the annexation idea which
seems to have taken a strong hold Of the
people.
1.-THE French will not allow the rich gold
and coal mines of the French coast to
be worked at all and they will not allow
the shipment of ore or metal This state
ton, and in fact that is all that is needed
to make the country ideal"
Capt. Martin has extensive interests in
the Yukon country, White Horse, and in
the Big Salmon sections He is now on
his way to the Big Salmon country to
look after some of his mining property
there. Capt. Martin is very enthusiastic
over Alaska, but still thinks that under
the United States government New
foundland would be the best place in the
world to live. He is not very hopeful
however, over the outlook in this regard
and says that while the people
discuss it all the time, he doubts if y
will ever amount to anything more than
talk. He says another argument against
federation is that the people of New
foundland have very little love for the
Canadians and prefer to let them severely
alone and desire the same treatment at
the hands of the Canucks
