TO APPEAL YOUNG CASE.
Executive Council Decides to Have
Supreme Court Pass on Case.

Des Moines, May 19.-Lafe Young's
famous state binder case is to be ap-
pealed to the supreme court. The ex-
ecutive council have considered the
matter and agreed that the questions
involved i Judge Howes decision in
favor of Mr.. Young last Saturday
were of such grave Importance that
ruling of the higher court would
be c. great value.
Under the ruling Of Judge Howe the
state is powerless to recover from an
officer who may have his bills ap-
proved by the secretary of stale or
the executive council, though the bills
be for work which is not authorized
by law. If the rule announced in
the district court here is correct, and
the secretary had approved a b.l
from the binder for ten or fifty tins
the price fixed by the law, then it
must follow that the state could not
recover from the binder even for this
excess cha:ge.

Mrs. Sheffield In Voice.


The work of Mrs. Ada Sheffield,
soprano soloist, was of an unusually
high order. Her first work was the
rendition of an aria from Elijah"
Quality and tone were not lacking in
the work of Mrs. Sheffield, and her
placement was of an equally high stan
dard. Meyer Helmund's Margareta, y
and Tschaikowsky's Pilgrim Song
afforded the next exhibition of Mr..
Holmquists excellent ability. So pro-
longed was the applause these rendi-
tion elected, Mr.. Holmquist gracefully
responded with composition in the
Swedish tongue, playing his own ac-
compartment
The chorus followed Mr.. Holmquist
with the renditions of Surely He Hath
Borne Our Griefs' from Handel's Mes
