Regarding letter from Clerk D..
Porter, of the Fourth Circuit Court.
IIilo, in which the writer said he was
shipping, in care of Purser Beckley of
the steamer Kinau, twenty tins of
opium seized in course of justice, the
Attorney General made a report, say
ing:
Ordinarily such opium would be used
as evidence in the case, but 1 presume
it is no longer needed from the fact
that it is forwarded to the Board of
Health. If the same is intended for
present, I see no objection to the Board
of Health taking the same and using
it, if necessary, in the Government dis
pensaries. otherwise I know of no way
in which such property could legally
come into the hands of the Board of
Health
The Board decided to take steps for
securing possession of the opium for
use as suggested by the Attorney Cen
eral.

THE CEMETERIES QUESTION.
A report was received from Attorney
General Andrews on the question of the
Boards power to deal with overcrowd-
ed burial places. He quotes the law
giving the Board of Health authority
to make regulations for the interment
of the dead, and respecting cemeteries
and burying grounds and concludes
with this advice:
Under these sections I believe that
the passage of resolution covering this
question could be enforced in a court
of law, and it is the duty of the Board
to Immediately take such action as will
prevent the further conduct of ceme-
teries in a manner deleterious to the
public health"

4 BRILLIANT HORSE SHOW ri"
rs THE PROMISE TODAY
E,erying Being Pit TIT Readiness for the OPENING OF
the First 7avim City Egemt on Wednesday,
Eyeming at Hatnline.

Seats and boxes for the twin city
horse show at the state fair grounds
the latter half of this week went on
sale this morning at Voegeli Brothers
drugstore, Washington and Hennepin
avenues. The advance inquiry indl-
Gates that Minneapolis will be equally
we'll represented with St. Paul. The
management is endeavoring, so far as
practicable, to dispose Of seats SO that
Minneapolis patrons will be seated on
one side of the rectangular arena and
St. Paul patrons on the other. The
mayors Of the two cities have been
hidden and the horse show will thus
be made something Of social reunion.
While it may be characterized as a
society event, perhaps the most nota-
Bile Of the year, the horse show is a
democratic amusement enterprise. Dress
suits, riding togs and business suits
are equally correct for men, while for
ladies the toilet may vary from pref
ty blouse and well-hungs skirt to elab-
crate gowns, decollete ones alone be-
ing considered out of place.
| If the twin cities follow the exam
pie Of other cities in. which the horse
shows have become social successes, it
will be quite a dressy affair." especially
among the occupants Of the boxes, al
tho it should be understood that the
| occasion is about on line with a no.
| table dramatic event, which calls fol-
some display of fashion without max
ing it mandatory, as at ball or recep-
ton, so those who choose to go in
every day attire need not feel that they
are not doing justice to the event.

WANTS POWER ASSESSED
ALDERMAN DWYER GETS AFTER
AN INTANGIBLE ASSET THAT
HAS HITHERTO ESCAPED TAXES.

Those aldermen who caught the drift
Of Alderman James DIVERS resolution
calling upon City Assessor C. J. Minor
for an explanation are wondering what
he is after. The resolution requires the
city assessor to give information as to
whether ten mill-powers, said to be
owned by Chute Brothers, are on the
assessment rolls, and, if not, to explain
why.
Alderman Dwyer said this morning
that he had no motive other than to get
taxable property on the tax rolls. The
ten miIl-poWers, he says, are worth
from 100000 to 100000, and bring an
income of $4,000 or more a year
Hence, he says, they should be taxed.
Mr.. Minor could not be seen this
morning, but it was learned that the
mill-powers had been placed on the rolls
