PAY 81. Is PER $1,000.
Average Rate of Insurance on
State Buildings Increased

insurance on state buildings is being
written with the understanding that all
policies will expire Aug. 1, 1907, the
desire being that all insurance shall
expire and be renewed at a uniform
date. Heretofore the policies have been
written at the will of the state au-
thorities, the expirations falling at un-
certain periods.
An agreement has been reached be-
tween the board of control and the
state board of underwriters that the
average rate, when insurance is writ
ten on all the state buildings, shall not
exceed $1.25 per $1,000 risk for the
term of three years. This is a consid-.
cradle increase over rates formerly
paid, for the old rate on state prop
erty, including the state fair buildings,
was but 81, except at the state prison,
where the presence of the Irvine plant
creates "sprinl1ling rate" and this is
carried by the companies on the yearly
risk plan
The increase in the insurance rates
was to be expected, for it is said that
Minnesota was enjoying the lowest in
surance rates on it's state institutions
or any state in the Union and the heavy
ioSSeS sustained Dy the companies ear
~ IN the year had tendency to raise
rates. Under the new plan each build
ing VIII have separate rate, the new
state capitol being the lowest of any
OF the state buildings the state uni
versity coming a close second. while
the hospitals for the insane-where
the risk is supposed to be greatest-are
the highest
Some 100000 will be carried on
state buildings, the new capitol being
protected by policies aggregating ST.
0O0,00O. In the new capitol the chief
eombustibles are inside finish and dec
orauons and there is little apprehen-
sion of more than 100000 to $500, 900
damage ever being done to the new
building. The state university group
will have $1,300,000 indemnity against
fire losses, and the remainder of the
total amount carried will be distribut-
ed among the buildings in the various
institutional towns
A proposition has been made by the
state beard of control to the under
writer's looking to the writing of the
entire amount of insurance desired by
the state at this time, but for which
there are not sufficient funds at the
command of the board of control. The
board of control lacks some $4,000 of
having money in it's insurance funds to
care for all the policies about to he
written, ard it is to pay for this that
| the underwriters have been asked to
make some concessions. Just what the
nature of the board of controls promo
sition is, its members decline to saw

SMALLPOX ON THE

Der in a Year

Smallpox, which has been raging
throughout number of the counties
of Minnesota since 1898, is decreasing,
but according to DR.. H. M. Bracken,
secretary of the state board of health,
the decrease in the number of cases
cannot be taken as an indication that
the disease is by any means stamped
out.
The report for the week ending July
II shows but fourteen cases, the
smallest number reported for any
week during the past year. OF the to-
tai of cases, Minneapolis reports 3;
Audubon, Becker county, 8; ST. Cloud,

Stevens county, each reporting L.
while the number of cases reported
for the week. said DR.. Bracken yes

the disease is at low tide in this state,
] take it the showing indicates only
that smallpox is less rampant in the
summer than during the colder wealth
er months. l believe that this is the
smallest number of new cases reported
in any week since about the CORE

JOHNSTON OAPPEAL
Boiler inspector VIII Take Test
Case TO Supreme Court

r. H. Johnston, state boiler inspect
or, after consultation with Attorney
General Donahower, has determined To-
take an appeal in the case of Frank
Urbach, the st. Paul man whom Judge
Lewis discharged on his arrest under
the state boiler inspection law.
Urbach,, who is engineer of two fat
buildings in st. Paul, was arrested for
his failure to equip himself with a
state engineers license. The district
court held that Urbach was not the en-
gineer but only the fireman of the boil
ers, and that he did not require a Ii
cense under the terms of the law The
issue was a test case and the discharge
of Urbach proved a staggering blow to
the state boiler inspectors office.
Yesterday Johnston announced that
the papers were being perfected in an
appeal to the supreme court in the Ur-
bach case.
IF it is necessary to have the boilers
in these buildings inspected by the
state" Johnston argues, then the man
who takes care of them should come
under the state law"
The attorney generals office will
perfect the necessary papers in the APP
peal, and the case will go on the cal
endar for the October term of the
supreme court.

JOHNSON STILL AT IT
Public Examiner Continues
Search of r. c. Dunn's Books

There will be no lack of campaign
material if Public Examiner S. r.
Johnson persists in his exhaustive and
searching examination of the records
of the state auditors office, judging
from reports which have already come
from that office.
Johnson has two or three deputies
still at work in the auditors office, and
says that the work will be prosecuted
until the examination is brought down
to date. His last published report was
made to the governor two months ago,
and while it is known that a Yolumi-
nous report was submitted to the gov
ernor only a few weeks before the Re
publican state convention was held it
did not reach the public. The report
was said to involve so many men high
in the councils of the Republican party
that it was regarded as wholly mex
pedient to give it to the world at that
time, and the Johnson reports had not
been regarded as successful campaign
issues. But Johnson says he is not
done and will finish the work which he
mapped out some months ago.
There was no politics in the investi-
cation of the state auditors Office he
said yesterday land just because the
state convention has been held and
former Auditor Dunn has been nomi-
mated it will make no difference in the
prosecution of the work. 1t was not
started from political motives and it
will not be ended from those motives"
The work is progressing satisfacto
rily, it is said. Two men were at work
yesterday on the auditors books and
from one to three will be employed as
other work will permit, until it is COM
pleted and brought down to the pres
ent time All the figures are being sub
nitted to State Auditor Iverson for
verification, and it is believed that the
final. report, when it is issued, will
show some interesting developments.

REPUBLICANS AT OUTS
OVER THEIR COMMITTEE
G. o. p. of Ramsey County Has a
SquabbIe on Hand

While but few of the ward meetings
which will eventually result in the Sc
lection of a Republican city and coun-
ty committee have been held, interest
among the local Republican workers
in the final outcome increases daily.
The fight is largely along. the lines
in which the campaign for control of
the Ramsey county delegation in the
recent Republican state convention
was fought and the alignment of the
workers is much the same.
Fenton G. Warner is understood to
be a candidate to succeed himself as
chairman of the county committee,
and Arthur W. Lyman, a special dep
uty collector in the st. Paul custom
office and president of the Lincoln
club, is also spoken Of as a candidate.
Lyman is resident of the Seventh
ward. The Second ward has chosen
E. c. Mahle and A. T. Wilder as its
city committeemen.

FOSTER is HUSHING.
litchfield Man Would Beat
Buckmanin Sixth District

The contest in the Sixth district for
the Republican nomination for con-
gresS has begun in earnest. Con-
gresham Buckman's friends in the
district are said to be somewhat
alarmed at the showing made by. A. F,
Foster, of Litchfield, who has been
quietly canvassing the district for
some Weeks.sBA circular has been Is
sued by Foster and sent broadcast
over the district 80
Foster bases his claim to- the nomi-
nation largely on what he contends to
be unfair treatment in the canvass
for the nomination in the district two
years ago. Both were candidates then
and Foster says that there is no doubt
that he had a ,Smajority of the votes,
but that on the face of the returns
Buchanan had 80 majority. He ac-
counts for the majority by saying that
the votes of two townships were sup
pressed in Bnckmans interest. and
that there We're several other places
where he alleges numbers of illegal
votes were cast for Buchanan.
He cites theszcontest started by him
against Buckman's nomination, but
says that when he found that it would
be impossible to complete the contest
in time to get his name on the ballot
he dropped it, at the suggestion of
some of the. state and United States
officers who had conceded his right to
the nomination., and with the under
standing that he should be the candf-
date two years later.
In ST. Paul very general impress
sion prevailed that some of the con-
siderations that induced Foster to
withdraw from his contest two years
ago have been omitted from his cir
cular, just issued

Blaze Starts While Family Is Away
and Gives Firemen Hard Fight

Fire in the home of Max Lavansky.
76 Iglehart street, yesterday caused a
damage of about 81, 900, half of the loss
was on the furniture owned by La
yansky and the balance on the build
ing, owned by Mrs. Medium.
The Lavanskys We're away from
home, and the first intimation that the
building was on fire came when an ex-
plosion occurred. For some time there
was quite a hot fire. but the depart
ment was able to subdue it before it
had done more than nominal damage
to the adjoining buildings. The blaze
is supposed to have originated in waste
that had been used in packing furni-
ment.

Adjournment of Congress.

New Orleans States.
Congress adjourned yesterday
at an unprecedented early date
for a long session, but in accord.
ance with the wishes of President
Roosevelt who realized that the
well organized and aggressive
Democratic minority was accu-
mulating much valuable cam.
paign material at the expense of
the Republican party and hence
1T was best to stop this by get
ting Congress out of the way.
The adjournment caused to be
left untouched a great deal of
Legislation demanded by the
people for the welfare of the
country, but as far back as last
November the president gave the
command that nothing should be
done beyond the passage of the
Cuban reciprocity bill, the Pana-
ma canal bill and the general ap-
preparation bills and as Congress
has surrendered it's authority
and powers Mr.. Roosevelt is now
the whole government and his
commands were Obeyed to the
letter. Everything done was
done with the view of furthering
his ambition to be elected to the

Last Thursday a number O

two gentlemen from Breau,

and after discussing the build
ing of a railroad from BatOr

cided to organize a company

ed a point where further growth
must come from more railroad
facilities, and this road, giving a
direct line north and east, is
vital to the future development
OF this parish and town. It is a
big undertaking, but not too big
with the help of Breaux Bridge
ahd Baton Rouge, each of which
are fully as interested as we are:
and If we all pull together with a
long pull and a steady pull, the
thing is done. Every citizen
must come to the rescue, and
when the opportunity is present
ed to subscribe stock, let every
man do so to his utmost ability.
Let us keep constantly in mind
that we must have the road, not
alone to grow, but hold what
growth We have: and that to Sc
cure the road it is worth while.
to make sacrifices; for with it
attained, our sacrifices will turn
to rewards.
And let us also bear in mind
that timid people get but little.
while the bold get much. If we
sit back waiting for some one to
come along and build the road.
we may wait another twenty
years. The way to build it is to
join hands with Baton Rouge and
Breaux Bridge and build it our
selves. Then it will be done.

A Valuable Witness.

A letter written by Charles NJ

The letter was read from the
indianapolis News of Sept. 1,
1903. Although it dates back a
little, its contents are fresh and
significant.
AS read by Senator Bacon in
the Senate the other day. this
masterpiece of candor declared
that steel rails could be sold at a
fair profit in this country for S12
per ton and in England for S19
per ton. With the tariff at S.
English manufacturers could not
sell in this country at less than
so ger ton. Consequently the
price OF rails in the United States
could be fixed at the latter figure.
This suggestion was carried out
and the process of robbing peo.
pie OF this country under the
projection Of the tariff on rails
went merrily on. Senator Bacon
had also on hand some eloque,itt
figures on that point. Under the
D'ngley tariff about $3.50, OOO, 900
had been taken from the public,
this amount representing the
profit OF the trust above labor
and material cost and q fair
profit of $12 per ton on the pro-
duct Of the factories. He then
proceeded to comment on the
fact that steel rails were sold
very much cheaper in England
than here, where the tariff wall

preaching presidential campaign.
The Republican leaders pre-
tend to be we'll satisfied with the
results of the session, but they
are not. The only person salts
fed on that side is the President
who is glad that he has Congress
off his hands and there is no
longer any danger of the Demo
cratic minority increasing the
supply of campaign material they
have secured under the brilliant
leadership of Representative
John Sharp Williams who during
the last three weeks had the Re-
publican majority so much on the
defensive that they were almost
in a condition of absolute panic.
In a mastery manner he has ex-
posed the vulnerable points in
the Republican armOr and this
fact will give the Democrats a
great advantage in the presiden-
tial campaign soon to begin.

Climatic Cures.

The influence of climatic cOndi-
tons in the cure of consumption
is very much Overdrawn. The
poor patient, and the rich patient,
too, can do much better at home
by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and a regular use Of Ger
man Syrup. Free expectOratiOn
in the morning is made certain
by German Syrup, so is a good
nights rest and the absence of
that weakening cough and debili-
tating night sweat. Restless
nights and the exhaustion due to
coughing, the greatest danger
and dread of the cOnsumptive,
can be prevented or stopped by
taking German Syrup literally
and regularly. Should you be
able to go to a warmer cline, you
will find that of the thousands of
.Onsumptives there, the few who
are benefited and regain

surplus built up by the fond and
foolish protection of the tariff on

his immense wealth in this way
