ASSESSED TO PAVE
STREET SECOND TIME
Owners of Property Expected to Pay
For Repairing on
Twentieth Street.

Owners of the fronting property will
likely be asked to stand an assessment
for new pavement on Twentieth street
between First and Fourth avenues.
The cost would be small compared
with that for the original improve
ment, as the old foundation would not
be disturbed, and the curbing still is
good.
Mayor McConochie inspected the
pavement yesterday afternoon, finding
it in very bad condition, particularly
between Second and Third avenues,
and he consulted with several of the
owners of the abutting property. While
they did not enthuse over the idea of
standing another assessment, still they
said that if that was the only way in
which they could be afforded a rem
edy. they would submit.
The mayor said that the city could
order the work done and pay for II
out of the general funds, but that
would be setting a precedent that
would be never ending. Where the
company that installs the improve
ment cannot be held to keep the pave
ment in condition the mayor thought
the next best thing to do was to ask
the property holders TO pitch in and
pay for the repairing.

Dairy WAGON Wrecked.

A Black Hawk dairy wagon was badly
wrecked yesterday, when it was struck
by switch engine at the FOrty-tifth
street crossing. All the milk was spill
ed, and the driver, Roy Goble, and the
young boy assisting him were thrown
to the floor of the vehicle and shaken
and scratched. but not otherwise injur-
ed The engine was not seen by the
driver on account of a long line of box
cars standing at that place. Had the
wagon been struck in the middle or for
ward part, the result would have been
disastrous.

BUM GUNS.

London, April 28.-The admiralty is
sued an official statement regarding the
charges made by The Daily Graphic
that IS British battleships were unfit
for action owing to the discovery that
a number of 12-inch guns were incap-
able OF firing fifty full charges. The ad-
miralty says, that one twelve inch
marx gun OH board the Majestic had
cracked at the muzzle, and that sec
ond gun showed a crack in the inner
tube, but they had fired the equivalent
OF 66 and Is full charges respectively.
These guns had been exchanged and
repaired and will shortly be reissucd.
The statement continues:
"One I2-inch gun was fired with 162
full charges before being refined. The
guns on board the battleships Mars,
Caesar and Jupiter have fired the
equivalent of over 60 full charges and
are still perfectly serviceable."

MINNESOTA APPROPRIATION
BILL MAY BE VOID

St. Paul, April 28.-State officials
whose opinion on the subject is au-
thoritative are inclined to think that
the omnibus appropriation bill passed
by the recent legislature and provid-
ing for the disbursement of appoxi-
mately $4,275,o 900, may be unconstitu-
tlonal. Should it be held unconstitu-
tlonal by the courts there would pos
sibly be called an extra session of the
legislature, as the state cannot carry
on its work without money 1t is be-
lleved to be unconstitutional because
1t gives the governor, state auditor
and state treasurer power to borrow
money in excess OF the limitations pre-
scribed by the constitution. Attorney
General Young has been asked for an
opinion.

that the alleged shortage of Edward j.
Smith will amount to total of at least
$4,000 They discovered one item of

which was one OF the chief features of

THE OLENDORF DIVORCE ! T
~. CASE is ON TRIAL

Grand Forks, N D., April 28-The
divorce case of Ernest Al. Folendorf
against Ada VI Folendorf, All action
started in Wells County and brought
to this county on a change OF venue,
was before Judge Fisk yesterday ON a
petition for attorneys fees and suit
money, interposed by the defendant.
Judge Fisk allowed her SIS, and enjoin-
ed the husband from proceeding fur
ther in his own behalf until the order
is complied with. Folendorf is a wag-
onmaker living at Fessenden. He says
thatfhe and the defendant we're married
at Fessenden Nov. ~, 1900, and that
she deserted him on March 10, 1904. &
q Mrs. Folendorf is. a barber, engaged
in business at Larimore, and denies
the charge Of desertion, and pleads a
eross-coniplai1t, asking for divorce
on her own account on a charge OF
cruel and iiihuman treatment and ha-
bitual drunkenness.
In his complaint, which lis accom-
panied by a number OF affidavits. Mr..
Folendorf sets forth that one Peter
White presumably living at Lari-
more stole the affections OF his wife.
She went to Lafirfore to visit a sister,
remained several months, and upon
her return to ,Fessenden kept tip a
correspondence with one Peter White.
One Of the letters Isl made ia part OF
the complaint. It was an affectionate
epistle. and the husband explains that
the letter was sent To her sister with
instructions to deliver. His wife gave
it to him to mail and he opened it and
copied the letter to- Peter before doing
so. A second time he says Mrs, Fol-
endorf went I'd Larifnore to visit her
sister and she has not since returned
This was on March 10; a year ago, and
several letters shown in the complaint,
written BY Mrs Folendoff after her
arrival at Larimore the second time,
ought have been sufficient to con-
vince the hsuband that her love for
him had grown cold and that the f1lys-
terious Peter hite wa s probably the
pctson responsible for the shifting Of
her affections The couple have no
children iy;lg.
