PUBLICITY TO STATE BUSINESS.
r. e. Dunn, When State Auditor, Abol
ished the Old System Which Permitted

II. e. Dunn, When State Auditor, Abol-
ished the Old System Which Permitted
Undue Preferences.
Hon. Il. G. Dunn was elected to the
Office of State auditor in 1894 and as
sumed Office with the commencement of
1895. There had been much dissatis-
faction expressed by the people of the
State with the manner in which the
affairs of the Office had been conducted
and the legislature of 1895 passed a
new and drastic law rigidly regulat-
ing the manner of disposing of the
State lands and the timber and min
eral thereon. Many of the most valu-
able features Of this law, which is
chapter 1853, General Laws of 1895,
were directly Suggested by Mr.. Dunn,
the most notable and far-reaching be-
ing the sections providing for the
greatest publicity being given to the
sale and disposition of the State lands
and timber, by freely advertising in
the public press the full descriptions
of all lands and timber offered for
sale. Previous to 1895, the fact that
sale of lands or timber was to be
held was merely given general an
nouncement, and only persons who
were we'll informed on such matters
or were con the inside" ever learned
what lands or timber were to be
offered.
The old law provided for and coun-
tenanced such defective and danger
Gus system, and the result had been
that many abuses had crept in and the
voice of scandal was never STILL Mr..
Dunn's idea was, that with publicity
of the widest kind given to the conduct
of the States business, every person
who chose could fully inform himself
on every matter of State business, and
II errors Or wrongs occurred. as is in
evitable in all business systems, they
would be promptly detected and COR
rected.
The results proved the soundness of
Mr.. Dunn's views. The operations of
land spectators and the operations
OF timber rings were rendered unavail-
ing and the individual purchaser,
settler or small farmer, found that he
was as we'll informed and could buv
from the State to as good advantage
as the representative of wealthy cor

Knoxville is obiecting strenuously to
the locating of the inebriate asylum
there, and they will fight to the last
ditch to prevent it. The boozers must
feel proud of the welcome they receive
over Iowa. No town objects to having
an insane asylum, or even penitentiary
or aareform school, but they are all
fighting like sin to keep from getting
the inebriate asylum. Even the insane
patients at Mt. Pleasant refuse to assoc
ciate with the inebriates, saying that
they themselves cannot help their
mental infirmities, but the boozers can
help theirs, and won't. 1t is pretty
predicament, indeed, and shows the
drunkard to be considered by all classes
as on a lower level than lunatics or con-
victs.

his demise it was naturally supposed
that she would get his pension and as
the check for the last quarter reached
here shortly after his death she, at the
request of some of his old soldier com

his pension voucher. In doing so she
found what do you suppose?) divorce
decree, granted to him over four years
ago! And that was the first intimation
she ever had that she was not his law
full wife. The old lady is unable to read
or write and it is supposed that he had
published his intentions at some time

HIS

MASS
Pope PilS Celebrates
Solemn Function
Today
Brilliant and Inspiring Scene
Witnessed by Vast Con-
course of People

Rome, April 11.-Pope Plus cele'
brated his first mass at St Peters to-
day amid a vast concourse of people.
The scene was brilliant and inspiring.
The immense Basilica was crowded
with 10000 people, representing all
nations.
For hours before the Pope appeared,
the spectators arrived in streams, and
at once began struggling for positions
of vantage The troops that lined the
piazza had much difficulty in keeping
back the surging crowd. One beauti-
full feature of the service was the rem
dtion of the Gregorian Chant by over
1000 youths, let by Father Perosi, head
of the Sistine Choir.
The pope crossed the church to the
altar in sedia gestatoria amid the rev.
erent congregation. His holiness
looked pale, and appeared to be more
aged than on the occasion of his as
cension to the throne.

was arrested at Cedar Rapids as he
was about to take the train for Wash,

before the commissioners for insane
at Merango and was yesterday or
dered committed to the state asylum.
Authorities are convinced that he
had designs on the life of the presi-
dent, and it would have been difficult
to circumvent had he reached Wash

THREE OUT or THE clTY,s LARG.
EST DEPARTMENT STORES
BURNED.
$500 PEOPLE ARt OUT OF WORK
FIRE APPARATUS WAS MADE
ouATE AND ASSISTANCE
WAS CALLED IN.

Rochester, N. Y, Feb. 27.-Tcn fire
engines were pouring streams of
water last night on the ruins of what
was practically the entire retail dry
goods district CT the city, for three of
the city's five largest department
stores were consumed in yesterdays
disastrous fire.
Insurance men place the loss at
$3,000,000. OF this amount $3.50, 1000
represents the loss on buildings and
the remainder the loss on stocks of
goods and the occupants of Offices. 1t
is estimated that $500 people are
thrown out Of work, temporarily at
least, because of the fire.
Big Buildings Destroyed.
The burned district lies on the
north side of Main street, between st.
Paul street and Clinton avenue north,
running from St. Paul street almost
the entire length of the block. The
fire started in the store of the Roch-
ester Dry Goods company and worked
west, taking but one store cast of that
establishment, that Of the Walllover
Shoe company. before it's progress
was checked in that direction. Next
west was the store of the Beadle-
Sherburne company. which was de.
stroyed, then the Marble block and,
finally, the thirteen-story Granite
building. Only the front wall OF the
Marble building is left standing. The
shell of the Granite building is intact
and the floors are in place bIt the
building was Quilted. There were no
casualties and no ore was injured.
An Explosion Occurred.
The fire was discovered by the
night watchman in the employ of the
Rochester Dry Goods company. 1t
was first seen at 1850 o'clock, and the
watchman says it started from fuse
which blew out in the electric eleva-
tor connection. Almost simultaneous.
ly an explosion occurred in the base.
ment of Beadle & Sherburne's, next
door. Smoke and flames poured
through the elevator grating in the
sidewalk and in an incredibly short
time the buildings were mass OF
flames.
The fire department did good work,
but the apparatus was inadequate,
and requests for assistance were sent
to Buffalo and Syracuse. Each city
responded. sending two engines and
men to man them.

Important Move by japan.
London, Feb. 27.-Spencsr Wilkin.
son, the we'll known war expert, writ
ing in the Morning Post. says that
sSthe rumor that the Japanese have
landed troops at Possiet bay is by far
the most interesting piece of news re-
garding land operations which has
yet reached this country, if it should
prove true.
It will settle the question as to the
Japanese estimate Of the character of
war and as to the nature of the Jap
anese Strategy, for by choosing this
landing place the Japanese would
show that they do not mean merely tc
seize strong places on the coast. and
then allow Russia to tire herself out
in an attempt to recover them. but
that they intend to seek decisive re
suits and aim at the destruction O
the Russian army. That is beyond
doubt the best strategy, if the re
sources of Japan are equal to it. Thu
Russians on the Yalu, once in touch
with the Japanese force in front OF
them, cannot be moved back in q
body and sent north on trains. They
would have to fight for their retreat
and not more than half of them could
be moved north. The distance from
Possiet bay to Hardin is about equal
to that from Harbin to Mukden, SC
that the Japanese army, starting from
Possiet bay, is making by the shortest
route for the Russian communica
tions.
If the natives should damage the
railways as is not improbable, the
japanese army may in a few weeks
compel the Russians to fight witt
their faces toward Russia, situation
in which defeat would be irretrieyablt
ruin.
