N, p. TELEGRAPH LINES
Case Involving Lease by Western Unlo,
...- = Taken Under Amusement. r.

Judge Amidon Of the United States cir
cult court has taken under advisement the
case Of the United States against the
Northern Pacific, the Western Union and
the Northwestern Telegraph company, an
action brought by the government to have
the leasing Of lines constructed by the
railroad declared illegal, under an act
passed by congress In 1883, which provides
that all companies in any way aided or
subsidized by the government must oper-
ate their own telegraph lines so that the
government can have full control should
war arise, without entering into contro-
versy with any company holding a lease
or bill of sale. The suit has been pending
since 1891.

Acting Mayor Jones and Mayor
Elect Haynes Greet Constitu-
ents at City Hall.
The Building Is En- Fete and
Citizens Turn Out to
View It.

:. Two mayors received in the may
or's reception room this afternoon.zActin
Mayor D. p. Jones invited Mayor elect
James c.. Haynes to do the honors with
him at, the city and county building re-
ception and the coming mayor gladly
accepted the opportunity to meet the
good burghers of the city. Several of
the aldermen also assisted the mayor in
receiving, but for the most part they were
busy with parties Of constituents in other
parts Of the building, particularly the
famous council chamber. -.
1t was rather fortunate for the visitors
this afternoon that the passageway on the
city side through the main Fourth street
entrance was completed to-day, for it
proved great convenience for those who
wished to Sc ethe whole building. On this
floor, at least, the visitors were not COM
PEELED to retrace their steps for two blocks
in order to- reach one side or the other.
The third floor is the only one on which
the whole immense building can be cir
COMMUNICATED. A fair conception of the
magnificent distances in the building can
be gained by making the grand tour on
the third floor with the use of pedometer
and stop watch. :, e.. ~,
There was much speculation this morn
ing as to whether the artists who were
ornamenting the windows in the council
chamber with striking designs in gay COL
ors would have their work completed by
the time set for the opening Of the recep-
ton Many predicted failure, but the
artists smiled confidently. The central
piece in the fifth window was the arms of
the United States and the work thereon
was watched with much interest. The art
lists knew their capacity for they promised
to be through by noon and they were.
All county offices as well as the city
offices will be open tonight for the re-
ception of visitors. In the clerk of
courts office Little Jimmie Latourelle
will preside at a piano. The register of
deeds office has been decorated in green;
and Sheriff Dreger's headquarters are
gay with American flags and bunting.
An immense flag has also been draped
across the back wall of the treasurer
office; but, generally speaking, county
officials have felt, as one of them ex-
pressed it. that tonight will be 1.-THE
