A SATISFACTORY SYSTEM.
Expending the Loan of $4,000, 900 to
the St. Louis EXPOSITION.

Wallace II. Hills, chief clerk Of the Treas
ury Department, has returned to Washing
ton, having come from tour of the south
and a visit on official business to ST. Louis.
Mr.. Hills went to ST Louis as the personal
representative of the Secretary of the
Treasury Mr.. Shaw He was instructed to
devise with Mr.. Robert Fullerton, the gov
eminent disbursing agent for the 5000
600 exposition appropriation, some means OF
keeping the Treasury Department advised
in a general way of the manner Of expend-
ing the government loan of $4,000 600 Mr..
Hills says that it is not the intention Of the
government to supervise the expenditure in
any way, but simply to have the represent
tative of the Secretary of the Treasury in
touch with the general conduct of the ex-
position business.
Under the businesslike system the ex-
position company has adopted said Mr..
Hills today, cit will be an easy matter
had absolutely no trouble in making an ar
rangement which will prove entirely salts
factory to the government. In the first
place, there is an admirable accounting sys-
tenn in vogue. The proper head of depart
ment or division makes certificate to the
auditor when payment should be made
The auditor draws voucher which Is sent
with the report from the department or
division head, indicating the necessity for
the expenditure, to the president and sec
rotary OF the company. Messrs Francis and
soteVens respectively sign the voucher before
it is paid. Then all papers in connection
with the proposed payment go to the
treasurer of the company, Mr.. w H.
Thompson. He not only makes the pay
1nent but he satisfies himself as to it's ne
cessity before paying. Mr. Dunn who Is
assistant to the auditor of the exposition
will receive all of the papers finally, includ-
ing the Cancelled and paid checks covering
the payment He will make out a general
statement covering in general terms the
nature of the payment and its occasion
This statement will be turned over to Mr.,
Fullerton, the representative of the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury at st. Louis This ar
rangement was freely and willingly entered
into by the exposition people. and as it gives
the government representative accurate and
timely information which he can at inter-
walls transmit to the Secretary of the
Treasury it is satisfactory

TO FIGHT YELLOW JACK
MEXICAN SCIENTISTS TRYING TO
AROUSE AUTHORITIES
Point to the Results Obtained by the
Americans in Their Occupa-
ton of Cuba.

The medical authorities of the national
government and of the southern states
most directly interested are deeply con-
cerned in the efforts of the superior board
of health of Mexico to get the various
states of that nation aroused to the adop-
ton of uniform methods of fighting yell
low fever this year. The concern of the
United States is vital. Last year Mexico
was hotbed of yellow fever, and late
in the year, despite every precaution of
national and Texas medical authorities.
the disease reached Laredo, San Antonio
the fact that the disease made it's appear
medical authorities made heroic resist
spread of the yellow horror. So the sci
the fight the scientists of Mexico are
making to get the slowmoving Mexican
state authorities and people to recognize
that there must be organized, intelligent
uniform methods of combating the dread
disease.
DR.. f. Liceaga, president of the superior
board of health of Mexico, has written a
long communication to the Mexican de-
partment of interior, again calling atten-
ton to his plans for lighting yellow fever.
He says that the American occupation of
Cuba resulted in the undisputed fact that
yellow fever Is conveyed by, mosquitoes
The accepted medical doctrine of the
world is that when yellow fever patient
is stung by a mosquito the insect be-
comes infected with the disease within a
period of not less than twelve days and
once 1T is injected 1t is capable of trans
hitting the disease to a healthy individ-
uai who is not immune within a period of
not less than five days.

TO INCREASE THEIR SALARIES.
Mr.. Crumpacker Reveals a Movement
of Rural Free Delivery Carriers.

Curing the debate in the House yesterday
afternoon on the postal appropriation bill
the rural free delivery service received
most attention. Credit for the establish
ment of this service was claimed by speak
ers for both parties, and both sides de-
clared their friendship for it.
Mr.. Patterson of Tennessee suggested
Mr.. Williams, the minority floor leader. for
the presidency, but he also coupled it with
the names of Carlisle and Senator Bailey
OF Texas as good southern candidates.
Although President Cleveland made mis-
takes, declared Mr.. Patterson "he GER
tainly did not make them against the in
terests of the south, and whatever mis-
takes he made were like specks upon the
sun as compared to his great character his
true Americanism and his unbemished
honor"
The blight of the fifteenth amendment to
tho Constitution had reversed the previous
great record of the south in producing
Presidents, but Mr.. Patterson expressed the
belief that democratic nominee from the
south would not lose single electoral vote
to the party.
Mr.. Crumpacker Qndana) read a letter
from F. s. Cunningham, president of the
National Carriers Association, urging
rural free delivery carriers to telegraph i'm
mediately to their members of Congress to
vote to increase the salaries of rural free
delivery carriers.
The letter to carriers gives form of tele-
gram to be sent to members, and says
Il believe we have got things coming
our way, and will succeed if you do your
part. understand the situation, and the
department will take no notice of any work
you do in regard to pushing our BILL
Mr. Crumpacker said that he was not OPP
posed to increasing the salaries OF car
riers, but he believed this fuIfillment of
the prophecy of ex-Representative Loud
that these carriers would organize a great
political machine and dictate to Congress-
Mr.. Maddox (Georgia) demanded to know
where Cunningham was, and when told
that he was a carrier in Omaha, Neb., he
wanted to know If the civil service reguia.
tiOns did not prohibit them from Interfering
in legislation.
Mr.. Crumpaeker remarked that his pur-
pose was to advise the proper authorities in
the matter.
Mr.. Maddox declared holly that he had
received number of such kilograms, as
did Mr.. Lind (Minnesota).

DAMROSCH ON "PARSIFAL"
WHAT THE NOTED CONDUCTOR
SAYS OF RICHARD WAGNER
GREAT MUSIC-DRAMA.

AS the time approaches for the
concert performance of "Parsifal,' at
the university armOry, by Walter
Damrosch and his New York Sympho-
ny orchestra, next Wednesday evening,
April 10, interest becomes more and
more concentrated on that master1ui
man who has become such a devoted
admirer and Interpreter of the works
of Wagner. Not only does the atten-
ton of the public center in the man,
but his opinions come in for their
share of notice. There is indeed, no
deeply qualified to speak Of Wagner,
and of Parsifal in general as he.
Speaking Of the great music drama
Mr.: Damrosch says:
"Parsifar' is the last ripe and perfect
fruit from the tree of Wagners genius.
his death, it became his last message to
the world and it may be considered as
representing his artistic conception and
exposition of medieval Christianity.
Earlier in his career he had contem-
plated the dramatization of certain scenes
from the New Testament, but he soon per-
ceived the impossibility Of adequate stage
representation. and thereupon determined
to symbolic these ideas and scenes by
utilizing one of the many legends cluster
ing around the Holy Grail.
Wagner seeks to show in the story OF
Parsifal that the central Idea Of Chris
tianity, as typified by the voluntary self
sacrifice Of the Savior for the redemption
of man, is pity for the sufferings Of 9TH
ers, and as the drama progresses we see
! in Parsifal, who appears In the first act as
absolutely ignorant Of the world-of good
or evil, Of saintliness or sin-the gradual
evolution of the human soul from dull,
childish ignorance to full consciousness
Of the duty Of life. thru the quickening in

CITY NEWS.
HARRIMAN'S SIDE
WAS SUPPRESSED
HOW HILL NEWSPAPER SHOWED
NORTHWESTERN SENTIMENT.
One Correspondent Sent in State
ment That Business Men in His Sec
ton Were Not Alarmed Over Har-
riman Control of Northern Pacific,
and His Dispatch Was Not Printed.

A North Dakota correspondent of
T he urnal writes as follows:
Let me give you an example of
the way public opinion is manufac-
tured In North Dakota for the delec-
tation of readers of the Hill news
papers. A few nights ago the various
correspondents Of Hill newspaper,
published in st. Paul, received tele-
grams worded as follows:
Do business men Of your town appre-
ciate what effect on the northwest would
be If the Union Pacific secured control
of the Northern Pacific road? Interview
two or three leading men and wire con-
else statement Of their views tonight.
ANY correspondent receiving such
telegram knew what was wanted.
The average business man along the
Northern Pacific does not care to air
his views If those views are against
Hill, for obvious reasons. One cor
respondent that I know sent off to
the twin city paper an interview stat
ing that the business men were per-
fectly satisfied that Hartman should
own the Northern Pacific, for the rea
son that in North Dakota the Union
Pacific and Northern Pacific are not
competitors; that, with Hartman
owning the Northern Pacific and Hill
the Great Northern, in North Dakota
there would be true competition, and
branch lines might be looked for in
all directions. Both the Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific would
be building branches into each others
territory, thus giving the people actual
competition-a thing that is impossi-
BILE now.
This telegram was not published;
but it is safe to say that it represents
the actual feeling of most of the bust
ness men along the line Of the North
ern Pacific. I have travelled among
them, and talked with them, but they
don't want to be quoted"

senior class of the high school at the
K. P. hall.
Thursday night, altho the weather was
very stormy. the opera house at Fergus
Falls was filled and every one was de-
lighted. Germany" Schacht was in the
audience, and when the boys gave him
the ''Rah! Rah! Rah!" he became so ex-
cited that he almost made touchdown

John G. Woolley Says It VIII Cease to
Be Localized.

The prohibition party's cause is not a
lost one, according to John G. Woolley,
former prohibition candidate for the pres
idency, who spoke at the First Baptist
church yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Woolley
says that he will never again be a can
didate, but that he expects to live to see
the party triumphant and the saloon made
illegal in every state in the union.
This he believes will come about largely
thru changed attitude on the part Of the
churches. These, Mr.. Woolley believes,
will awaken to the fact that the church
is hot lighting its worst enemy, the saloon,
with the most effective weapon, the ballot.
The church, he says, has declared itself
opposed to the saloon. but has not yet
acted upon that declaration. He says it
may not be thru the prohibition party,
but thru some channel the church's vote
will be registered unequivocally against
the saloon, and the saloon will cease to
be legaIized.
