PAVING COMES HIGH
MUCH STOCK IN CHEAP
ASPHALT
DEFENDS HIS STATEMENTS
Says st. Paul Will Never Solve Paw
ing Situation Until Sandstone
and Asphalt Become
Competitors.

Assemblynan WhitComb says he is
still of the opinion that if st. Paul wants
good asphalt paving, the kind that will
wear, it will have to pay a good price
for it,
I'm commenting upon my remarks made
at council committee meeting a few
days ago." said Assemblyman Whitcomb
yesterday, certain parties have been
claiming that Minneapolis secures its as
phalt paving at a figure approXimating
1925 a square yard. This claim hardly
agrees with a clipping 1 have just re-
ceived in which the Minneapolis engineer
ing department is credited with furnish
ing Mayor Rose, of Milwaukee, informa-
ton to the effect that asphalt paving in
Minneapolis cost about $3.50 a square
yard.
and | might add, though the clipping
doesn't say so, that Minneapolis does its
own paving, and even at the price Of
$3.50 doesn't get a days guarantee. In
st. Paul the guarantee, L believe, IS ten
years"
Dr. Whitcomb says he has come to the
conclusion that there are only two kinds
of material fit for paving in ST. Paul.
sandstone and asphalt, and when they
become competitors the paving situation
in the Twin Cities will be solved. Brick,
he says, will never receive his vote.
DR.. Whitcomb has been making a col
lection of paving statistics, together with
some unpublished data regarding prices
paid in st. Paul during the past twelve
years and the present condition of the
work, and promises to make it interest
ing for those who have seen fit to pervert
his statements and intentions.

Thirty Drops of Flu

prietor Of a saloon at Fairfield and South
Robert streets, to Inspector George Fl.
Staples, of the dairy and food depart
ment, in consequence of which Mr. Guiol
may have the privilege of paying a fine
of from $25 to 81. in the police court
This is the worst case the department
has got hold of thus far. Since the vic
tory won in the Duluth case the dairy
and food department has been conducting
a quiet but vigorous hunt for vile tangle-
foot Mr.. Staples bought pint Of whisky
in Guion's saloon and turned ii over to
State Chemist julius Hortvet, who anal
wed it. He found that, among other
things, it contained 36-1O0th of
per cent Of fusel oil. which IS a
derivative of amy alcohol In the
pint of whisky there were thirty drops
of the fusel oil, and ordinarily two drops
will put a man soundly to sleep, If it
does not kill him outright. Fuse. oil is
the most dangerous ingredient found IN
whisky. 1t is fifteen times stronger in its
effect on the human system than pure
alcohol is It is placed in cheap whisky
to give it the fiery taste Of the real arti-
Gle
Under the law the severest penalty pos
too light. The penalty is precisely the
same as is prescribed for watering milk.
The department is prepared to make
other arrests under the whisky act, and
the chemist has a number of samples to
be analyzed. Out Of over 100 samples Sc
cured promiscuously in saloons in Duluth,
ST. Paul and Minneapolis, less than per
cent was found to be pure But the de-
feet in the law in that it does not specify
a standard Of purity for whisky, makes
it impossible to prosecute most of the
cases. Unless whisky contains fusel oil
or some derivatIve of alcohol, which is
mentioned specifically in the act, the
dealer cannot he prosecuted, however vile
the whisky is. 1t is considered certain
that when the results of the whisky in
vestigatlon Of the past year are commu-
nicated to the legislature there will be
no difficulty in securing a remedy Of the
defect in the law which viii enable the
department to successfully cope with the
problem Of driving out "forty-rod' whisky
in this state.

HOME DEALERS BEST
MINNESOTA FOOD MANUFACTURERS
GENERALLY COMPLY
WITH LAW
DAIRY DEPARTMENTS REPORT
Seventy-FOur Per Cent of Meat and
Sixty-FOur Per Cent of Vine
gar Samples Found 10
he Good.

Yesterday the dairy and food depart
ment made public the results of the last
batch of samples analysed by the state
chemist. The report shows the following
results:
Ninety-oDe inspections Of meats were
acted upon, and 68 samples were found
to be legal, and % illegal. The meat in
spections covered many towns of the
state, Owatonna, Fartbault, Park Rap
ids, st. Charles, Austin, Lyle, Barnes
Vile, Cannon Falls, Winona, and dealers
and packing houses in st. Paul.
The meats found in the possession Of
the retail meat dealers were, for the most
Part, found to be legal. The larger per
cent of the Inspections were for different
varieties Of sausage and prepared ham.
The inspectors found that many of the
meat dealers are now making their own
sausages, instead of, as has been hereto
fore chiefly the practice, buying the
goods ready made from the packing
houses. The reason for this is that the
packing house sausage contains preserV-
atiVes which are, for the most part. lille
gal under the state laws of Minnesota.
Naturally this entails more labor upon
the meat dealers, but in the end it is
more profitable, and is the means OF
keeping the dealers out of trouble
Of tire twenty-three Illegal samples every
enc of them was traced to some of the
packing houses. They all contain some
preservative condemned by the state
law. However, not all of the packing
house samples We're found to be illegal.
Nineteen of the samples were inspected
by the department at the special request
of the department.
The department also reports that out
Of rs samples of vinegar examined by the
chemist 46 were found to be legal and 80
illegal Tie vinegar was taken from
dealers III st. Paul, Minneapolis, Austin,
Hayfeld, Kasson, Lyle, Lamberton, Fair
mont, Mankato and other towns in the
state. The samples of vinegar which
were supplied to the retailers by local
manufacturers were found almost invari-
ably to be legal, while it was the eXcep-
ton if VinegdrS manufactured outside of
the state were found to comply with the
| law. This is another proof that dealers
can much more safely supply their needs
from local manufacturers than by patro-
| n1zing outside manufacturers.
Samples from Missouri, Illinois and
New y ork are found to fall short of the
| required standard.

KEEP TRACK OF FUND
INSPECTORS SAY SHORTAGE is NOT
DUE TO CARELESSNESS
System of BOOkI< eeping Enables the
Board to Know Exactly Status
of Funds Appropriated by
the Council.

Several members Of the board of school
inspectors, even Republicans, are highly
indignant at the effort of an evening
paper in its issue of Friday to cast dis
credit upon the financial policy Of the
beard in 1891, from political motives be-
cause the board was predOminantly Dem
ocratic in it's constituency and to attf1b-
ute the present insufficiency of the school
board fund to unwarranted extravaganza
at that time. One Of the oldest and most
active members of the board said to
T h G o in discussing this subject:
1.-THE impression which it is sought to
convey by means Of that article is that
the board has been, and is, lax in it's
methods Of keeping accounts and there
fore is not informed of its actual finan-
cial status. That is not the case; we
keep our accounts very carefully and can
tell what is due us at any time from the
city according to the appropriations
granted us by the city council, but of
course only the city officers, the comp
troller and treasurer can tell whether
there is enough money in the treasury to
fulfill the appropriations made for us by
the council And that is just where the
trouble comes in. There have been mis-
takes made I grant you, and I could go
farther than that and tell you who made
them and how they were made, but 1 do
not wish to do so; suffice it for me to
say that they were not made by the
school board or the school officers. Our
books are open to inspection at any time,
and we are pleased to show them to any
person who desires information as to the
financial affairs of the school department.
Under the system which we follow it
would be impossible that the appropria-
ton of 1902 could have been depleted by
Indebtedness incurred in 1901, for as
soon as a contract is made the amount
Of that contract is charged up against
the fund and deducted from the amount
available.
"In 1900 the council Apr opriated $107,O0(
for the use of the schools in the course
Of the year, beginning July l, $780, and
ending July 1,19O1, and of that we used
100000 and left $1,000 for incidental ex-
penses. In July, 1901. the council appro-
priated $125, 900, and of that we have made
contracts providing for the expenditure

SCOPE OF EXAMINATIONS.

S. T. Jackson, public examiner, has
started a new policy. Heretofore the
only county officials whose books have
been inspected by his department have
been auditors and treasurers. This year
Mr.. Johnson's deputies will investigate
ali county offices. He has written to
county attorneys, notifying them of this
change, and also asking them to use
greater vigilance when passing on the
work Of their colleagues in the court
house. A number of cases have deveI-
Oped where county attorney and au-
ditors have audited bills allowed by the
county commissioners in violation Of law.
County attorneys are requested to usa
greater care and see that all such bills
are presented in strict compliance with
the law
Mr.. johnson has also issued a letter
of instruction to county auditors in con-
nectich with the repeal of the dog tax
law, and the refunding Of the 1901 tax
They are instructed to pay first all legal
claims for sheep killed prior to March 10,
and divide the rest pro rata among ali
who paid the 1901 tax. Auditors are also
instructed not to extend or try to collect
any delinquent dog tax.

The nervous system is the source of all
our bodily powers, mental or physical.
The brain and spinal cord generate the
power and the nerve ffbers convey the
power to every part Of the body.
1t is the nerves that give the heart
power to beat; it is the nerves that give
the arteries the power to contract, and
thus regulate the flow of blood through
them.
Each artery Is provided with an elastic
or muscular coat, which is capable Of
contracting or expanding so as to permit
more or less blood to pass through, &C
cording to the needs of the body.
When the nerves are paralyzed or
weakened this cOntractile power of the
blood vessels is wholly or partly de-
stroyed.
This produces congestion. especially Of
the mucous membrane lining the various
organs of the body.
When this congestion continues for
some time it is known as chronic ca
tarrh.

Star Vaudeville Performance
for Benefit of the Fund.

Up to yesterday 5,647 people had decided
TO give one days salary to help to build
the Coliseum, and there are many times
that number still to be heard from. The
Carpenters union, numbering 1000 men,
is included in the above figure, and the
days pay from this association alone VIII
amount to thousands of dollars.
Estimating that the average daily wage
of those already signed to be 81, the
amount already pledged from this source
viii amount to $11, 34S which will help
some. The greater number Of those who
have already signified their intention OF
giving a days pay are from labor unions
and mercantile establishments. There are
still large number of lists being dis
tributed, and every day finds at least two
establishments in line. AS the time draws
on the list will come in faster.
Yesterday the Hackmen's union noti-
fed President Bowlby that its members
would contribute one days earnings, and
the employees of the Charles Mitz Coal
company did likewise.
The agitation for a Coliseum in St Paul
has affected neighboring towns, and
Minneapolis paper is now asking why one
cannot be built in that city. In referring
to the work that is being done in ST Paul
a Minneapolis paper says:
They are giving one days income to
the auditorium fund-professional men,
capitalists anu CIGIhSy IdDOI6TS,
carpenters and workmen generally. The
organized trades are meeting and voting
TO appropriate sums equivalent to the in
come of their members of one day. En-
plOyes of large establishments from the
manager or president to the office boy are
signing subscription papers agreeing each
to give one days earnings"
Newspapermen's Show.
Commencing May 25 for one week the
Newspaper Mems Coliseum association
will put on a professional vaudeville per-
Torrance at the Metropolitan for the ben
eft Of the Coliseum fund. The general
committee of the association has decided
upon this means, and will make it's re-
port at the next meeting of the associa-
ton, which will be held tomorrow after
noon at o'clock.
This date has been chosen as it makes
II possible to secure an all-star aggrega-
ton of performers, who at any other time
would be playing in different parts of the
country. The usual house prices will pre-
vail but the boxes will be sold for S25
each. Several Of the boxes for this per-
Torrance have already been engaged, and
there is every assurance of a large house
for the entire week.
The company that will be selected will
be composed of the most famous artists
on the vaudeville stage, and there will be
many turns that have not been seen be-
fore in this city. Each act in the per.
Torrance will be a feature that has been
stared In some company, and the result
will be a fitting end to the vaudeville
season.
