NEW G. And C..BOARD.
0rville Rinehart and ]. D. Hotter
man Sworn In as New
Appointees.
The Latter Succeeds Prof. Moore
-Plums Will Be Parceled Out
Next Week.

Grille Finehart and J. D. Holtzerman
We're sworn In as commissioners on the
board OF charities and corrections this aft
ernoon. the former to succeed himself and
the latter replacing John G. Moore. I'm
mediately thereafter the new board pro-
ceeded to organize for the next two years
by the election of a president and vice
president. The election Of the other Off
GERS and heads of departments was post
poned until a meeting to be held next
week probably on Monday.
The slate is as follows:
Frank r.. Mcdonald, 'superint endents Of
workhouse.
George aBrton, superintendent of poor.
DR.. George p. Kicker, city physician.
Some surprise has been manifested
among the democrats and republicans
alike since The Journal l. g announce
ment that Professor J. G.. Moore would not
be reappointed. The reasons therefor have
not yet appeared. IN
1t is understood that the place was first
offered to Fendall G. Winston who de-
clined. j. D. Holtzerman, leading bust
ness man Of the south side. was next APP
preached and was disposed to hearken to
the call of duty.
1t is not to be imagined that the reor-
ganization of the board along the lines
indicated will please all the democrats
With the exception of DR.. George e.
Kicker as city physician, the appointments
Will cause many heartaches and arouse
much resentment. While there was not
much Of a ripple above the surface, the
contests for superintendent of workhouse
and superintendent Of poor were very
sharp. Former Superintendent John A.
Edagman, Otto Holt, North Side gro
Ger, and W.. H. Williams, the printer
were running a merry race for the work
house, tho, as it now appears, the wires
had been laid long ago. It had been UNI
derstood among democrats that Hagmall
was to have his old place at the work
house In return for transferring his pc:
litical influence from J. J. Heinrich tc
James G. Haynes in the primary cam
paisn Until within three or four weeks
it was generally accepted that Hagman
was as good as appointed, but the plans
appear to have gone agley.
It was supposed that Frank Mcdonald
would be content with the private secre-
taryship in the mayors office, and his
selection as superintendent of the works
provokes unfavorable comment. It will
be good thing Mcdonald, however
for, tho the salary is less, the workhouse
job carries with 1t free house rent, pro.
worth more. In addition, it will last SIX
months longer-which Is also an item. R.
The promotion Of Mr.. Mcdonald simpli.
fies the contest for the SUPPLEMENTARY
of the poor, which was supposed to 3lie
between George p. Douglas, an active
democratic worker, and George Barton,
brother Of Elijah Barton, chairman Of the
democratic campaign committee Mr.
Douglas will be secretary to the mayor
which will leave the field clear for Mr.

The CITY IS LIABLE
It Must Defend Suits Arising From
Negligence Of Park Board
Employees.
The Supreme Court So Decides in
the Kleopfert Damage
Case.

The city of Minneapolis is liable fol
damages arising from the negligence O
the park board or its employees in caring
for parkways. Service of such suit or
the city council is sufficient, as the parl
board is not the governing power Of the
city. This rule is laid down, and the dis
trict court reversed the Kleopfert dam
age case which came UP on a, demurrer
The demurrer Is overruled and the case
will go to trial. Kleopfert was riding {
bicycle on Kenwood parkway a year ago
and to avoid rope stretched across the
street was obliged to run into a wagon
The syllabus in the case is as follows:
Charles Kleopfert, appellant vs.. City Of Mime
apolis respondent:
In this personal injury action it is held:
F1rst-It appears from the allegations OF thu
complaint that the place of the plaintiffs in
Jury was In public street of the defendant
Second-The defendant is liable to persons in
jured by the negligence of its park board in tn.
care of such street saltho the control of tn,
street is not vested in the city counc1l but ii
the park board 1t was not necessary in thi
case to serve the notice OF injury on such boart
but the service thereof on the city council IWa
sufficient.
Third-The complaint states facts constitut
ing a. cause of action.
Order reversed. Start, ].

.CDlY'S VALUATION GROWS
City Assessors Books Being Checked
Up for Board Of Equaliza-
tons Work.

Monday, July 49, the city board OF
equalization will meet to begin reviewing
the work of the city assessor, and adjust
ing complaints. Mr.. Minor and his
deputies will finish checking up their
books in few days.
While no totals are available at this
time, Mr.. Minor.is satisfied that the as
sessed valuation of the city will be con-
siderably larger than that Of last year.
The principal gains will be in the items OF
personal property. The taxpayers appear
to be willing to stand for a reasonable
assessment Thus an increase Of about
$75o,0O0 has been made on elevators alone
and with no friction. Foreign corpora
lions have been sought out and assessed
for credits which they did not themselves
suspect were assessible. It is not so easy
at times to get a grip on company which
maintains only an office here, altho trans
acting a big business. BY taxing royal
ties, leases. contracts and other assets a
pretty fair return Of property is often
secured. 8S

HOW TO RELIEVE IT.

Sunstroke and stomach and bowel
troubles will carry off thousands during
the hot period rapidly approaching. Peo-
pie imagine it is the heat and that pros
tration is inevitable unless rest in shady
places can be obtained. How is it, then,
that the toiling millions defy the suns
brazen heat during the entire day?
If the stomach and bowels are kept in
good condition, the entire system is pro-
yided with armor against the suns fiercest
heat.
But, first, the stomach-do not abuse il
more than you can help-and at the first
sign of distress take Chase's Dyspepsia
Cure.
The same causes which lead to indiges-
tion especially In the winter, lead to
prostration of the digestive organs, chol-
era, diarrhoea. dysentery and the fevers
which abound
II you will keep the stomach cleaned
and toned up, there will be no difficulty
in resisting the hottest weather. and you
will have little discomfort Chase's Dys-
under penalty of refunding the purchase

REV. s. w. SAMPLES BEREAvEMENT-
Friends of Rev. s.. w. Sample, formerly pastor
of All Souls Universast church in this city, but

and inhuman treatment of his children, charged
by the Denver Humane Society, is due to ner-
vousness brought about by the recent death OF
his wife. Mrs. Sample died May 2S, leaving a
son weeks old. This fact, coupled with inan-

sible for his treatment of his son. Rexford

The Supreme Court Makes an I'm
portant Decision on Corpor-
alton Law.
----.--
Inheritance. Tax Law Again De-
clared Invalid in Sol Smith
Russell Case.

Stockholders in many Minnesota :. cor
perations are affected by a decision of
the supreme court, handed down this
morning by Chief Justice Start. In the
case Of the Minnesota Thresher Manufac-
turing company of Saltwater, insolvent,
the court holds that it is not manufac-
turing; corporation within the meaning of
the law, and that the stockholders are
liable for its debts to the amount of the
stock they held. An assessment Of SIS
a share is upheld.
Stockholders Of manufacturing corpora
lions are not liable under the law and
the cons titution, but in this case the court
lays down a very strict rule. The pur-
poses Of a company are to be Judged by
its articles of incorporation, and if they
state any other object than manufactur-
ing or mechanical work, the corporation
does not come under the exemption. As
many so-called manufacturing corpora
tions Of the state include in their articles
other purposes, such as buying and SELL
ing real estate, they cannot pass as man
.ufacturing corporations, and their stock
holders are liable. In the case decided
to-day, the articles included as one of the
objects of the corporation "the purchase
of the capital stock, evidences OF indebt-
edness issued by it, and the assets Of the
Northwestern Manufacturing company.
The syllabus in the case Is as follows:
