School Board Opened Bids Last
Night for the Work and All
Were Above the Appropriation.
MATTER WAS REFERRED.
Board Only Has $4,000 for all
the Work and Lowest Bidder
for the Building Alone is
Over $4,000.

All of the bids submitted by four
local contractors to the Board OF
Education, last night, for building
the addition to school No. l. we're too
high They exceeded the amount
available. for this work. The sum for
which bonds were issued is S25. 600.
Out of this amount must come the
heating and ventilating and the arch
itect's fees, and yet every one OF the
bids received last night exceeded the
amount of the bond issue.
The matter was referred to the
Board of School Estimate. 1t is pos
sible that the latter may decide upon
pairing down so as to come within the
amount at hand, but it is more proba-
BILE that they will ask the Board OF
Aldermen to give them $40, 900 more.
This will make S35, 900 all told and
will about cover the expense.
The school board feels that the COM
pletion of the work by September is
very necessary, aud the matter will be
taken up at as early date as possible.
Three of the bids are very close,
ard the fourth is n few thousand dol
lars higher. Fred Christensen is the
lowest for the complete work.

JOHNSTON JOINS IN
State Boiler Inspector Adds
New Capitol Remarks

A state officer who prefers to remain
at the old capitol is R. H. Johnston,
the inspector of steam boilers and
steam vessels. He believes he would
lose rather than gain by moving to
the room reserved for him at the new
capitol.
Il was expecting" Mr.. Johnston said
yesterday, that the new capitol would
mean better accommodations, larger
accommodations, for all of the state
officers l even ordered furniture for
my Office at the marble capitol. But
when I found where 1 was expected to
to go 1 decided to stay here.
Il would have only one room there
and I've got that much here. It's very
incOnvenient, for when I want to ex-
anime man in order to see whether
he is entitled to a license, I have prac-
tically to drive all my other visitors
out of the room. But I'd have to do
the same if / went up the street
And besides, although I'm on the
third floor here, my location is rather
better than it would be up there. They
expect me to go into another third
floor office at the new capitol. That
means that engineers covered with oil
and dust must be coming up and GO
ing down in the elevator there along
with women and all the state officers.
The engineers haven't time to change
their working clothes whenever thew
happen to have business with me.
And, what is worse, they must often
carry their tools and machinery back

borrowed said Rotterman yesterday,
but my wife gave as security a lot
which was at that time valued at $500.
A few years after taking the loan we
found that the interest was too heavy
and so notified Mr.. Chittenden, who
negotiated for us. We believed that
the mortgage had been foreclosed and
forgot all about the transaction until
the suit was filed today The $500 we
have coming has been entirely eaten up
by repairs and workmens claims for
their contracts have been filed with the
city clerk"
Mayor Smith was notified of the fill
ing of the suit, and he instructed City
Clerk Redington to hold Rotterman's
allowance until the court decides
where the money shall go.
City Clerk Redington will today dis
tribute checks aggregating $1,000 to
cyclone sufferers. The resolution of
the council relief committee placed the
relief fund in the hands of the mayor
for distribution, but Mayor Smith turn
ed the work of giving out the checks
to City Clerk Redington. Most of the
money will go directly into the hands
of carpenters, bricklayers and plaster
ers, who did the work of repairing the
damage caused by the storm.

LOYAL LEGION Dimes
Meeting and Banquet Takes
Place at Ryan Hotel

A meeting and banquet Of the Min
nesota commandery of the Loyal Le-
gion was held last night at the Ryan
hotel. More than a hundred members
and invited guests were present. After
dinner the speaker of the evening,
Capt. James Compton, was introduced
and delivered an address on some un-
recorded incidents of military. service
during the Civil war. Capt. Compton
is superintendent of the Minnesota
soldiers home. He recounted several
amusing and pathetic anecdotes.
He referred to the destruction of
Gen. r. N. Adams chicken dinner at
Jonesboro, Tenn, by a shell just prior
to the fierce battle that was fought
there. Gen. Adams was present at the
dinner and seemed to enjoy the refer
enceS to his liking for chicken and no
questions asked. The speaker said that
the Minnesota troops rolled back three
sharp charges and acted so viciously
that it had always been question in
his mind whether or not the destruc-
tion of the chicken dinner had any
thing to do with the bad temper of the
general that day.
Finally he told of the experience Of
Tim Feeney, private in Company E,
Fifty first Illinois infantry. Feeney
was a good soldier when sober and a
bad one when drunk. He was drunk,
however, as often as he could form
connections with commissary whisky,
which was quite often.
He finally acquired a wonderful load
| one day and shot the army off a negro
who was sent by an officer to get some
stores.
For this offense he was sentenced to
| the Dry Tortugas until the end of the
| war, but while being transported in
! chains he managed to escape from the
| transport. Thirty years later he turn
! ed up in Illinois and applied to his old,
| colonel to get him into the soldiers
| home. The authorities refused to allow
! him to enter unless he could show an
| honorable discharge, which of course
he could not produce The facts were
| laid before the war department, with
the unanimous recommendation of the
! surviving members of his regiment,
| and finally a reply was received that
| he would be admitted if he would only
| tell how he had escaped from the
| transport. This Feeney refused to do
and since then nothing has been heard
of him. Capt. Compton declared that
| if he was living he probably was a
tramp and absolutely destitute.
] German Consul Hams e. Grunow,
| who was a guest of the legion, was
called upon and responded briefly. Al
4 bert Scheffer and several other speak
! ers closed the session. Frank W.

LINDHOLM RUSHED
Receives Divorce Notice and
Workhouse Sentence

F.. Served with notice of divorce pro-
ceedings brought by his wife, and SEN
fenced to thirty days in the workhouse
for beating her. was the experience of
Swan Lindholm, tailor living at 3O1
King street, in police court yesterday
afternoon.
Just before he was arraigned At
torney Judson read the complaint
sworn to by his wife, in which she
charges him with cruel and inhuman
treatment and asks the district court
to grant her a divorce. He was then
brought into the court room and faced
his wife, who took the stand and tes-
titled to his abusing her on New Years
day.
He came home and frightened me
so that 1 went downstairs and slept
with the people living there" said Mrs.
Lindholm. Il went up stairs in the
morning and cooked breakfast for him..
but he threw the meat and bread in
my face and struck me, knocking the
baby on the floor. He went out and
came back, and abused me again. 1
called policeman, but was told to get
out a warrant for his arrest"
Lindholm testified on his own behalf,
and denied the statements of his wife,
but admitted that he signed a peace
bond in police court nine months ago
on charge of beating her. Judge
Finehout gave him thirty days with
out the option of fine. His wife then
attempted to have the sentence miti-
gated, but Judge Finehout would not
relent.

We can look with pleasurable pride

FEARS HESSIAN FLY
State EntomoIoeist Prophesies
Recurrence of the Pest

-
: F. D. washburn, state entomologist,
in his ninth annual report, just issued,
discusses the scarcity of the Hessian
fly last season, but prophesies an
abundance of the pest later on. The
entomologist refers to the possible re-
currence of the frit fly and the wheat
stem maggot, and says that although
the chinch bug has been practically
absent last year, he will come again in
increased numbers and with renewed
vigor.
The report, which is a volume of over
200 pages, is published as a bulletin of
the state experimental station. 1t is
filled with practical suggestions to the
farmer, nurSeryman, market gardener,
and those interested in agricultural
pursuits. The volume is illustrated and
contains a. number of colored plates.
Prof. Washburn discusses many Of
the forms of insect life that agricul-
turists are forced to combat. He
treats the Mediterranean flour moth,
and tells how to combat it, and tells
of the insects affecting melons,
squashes, currants, grapes, gooseber-

edies for each variety of pest are sug-
gested, and the story of the depart

last season is told.

HOW TO TEACH TOTS
Miss Stella Wood Explains to
kindergarten Teachers

Miss Stella Wood, principal of the
Minneapolis kindergarten normal
school, made an informal address to
the ST. Paul kindergarten teachers at
the Madison school yesterday after
noon. Miss Woods talk was along the
wide lines of the work and included an
explanation of the late methods evolved
by the students of the science, as well
as a lot of advice to those who have
the instruction of the young as their
part of the scheme of education.
She said that the material used in
impressing the things of nature on the
minds of infants was being changed in
some respects as the science of peda-
gogy developed. The first class of ma
terial furnished the children was to
impress color on their minds; the Sec
ond, the primary forms of nature, and
the third, size number, and so forth
She outlined the uses of each of the
classes up to the seventh, and then
went on to tell the teachers how to
continue the development of their own
minds so that progress and growth
would not end and Elasticity of mind
be solidified.
"The human minds development
cannot stand still. When-it ceases to
grow 1t begins to retrograde." said
Miss Wood.
Satisfaction is entirely out of place
in teaching, for when the teacher is
perfectly satisfied with her instruction
and has nothing in the way of progress
to look forward to, she begins to go
back. I believe that there should be
constant grasping for greater things
in the work-a feeling that the work is
not perfected and never could be-and
when the instructor is reaching out
and expanding mentally the effect can
not but be good as it comes to the chill
dren.''
Miss Wood suggested that the teach
ers take up course of reading pre-
scribed by the University of Chicago,
which at the end of two years leads to
a new degree, known as bachelor of ed
ucation. She also urged the ST. Paul
teachers to attend the conventions of
the International Kindergarten union
This year the convention will be in
Toronto and next year in Milwaukee.
She suggested that an effort be made
to secure the next convention for the
Twin Cities.
At the conclusion of her talk Miss
Wood was thanked by the meeting,
which was attended by fully sixty of
the local teachers.

CARE OF LIVE STOCK
Secretary of State Board Tells
of Work

The quarterly meeting of the state
live stock sanitary board will be held
next Friday at the boards office in the
old capitol.
Speaking yesterday of the boards
work and of the value of this work to
the live stock interests directly, and in
directly to other interests equally inn
portant, DR.. S. II. Wood, secretary and
executive officer of the board, said:
'sVery few people seem to take any
interest in the character or in the i'm
portance of the work carried on by the
live stock sanitary board in the con-
troll of animal diseases.
'.Yet last year $40 head of cattle were
killed on account of tuberculosis and
scme $50 head OF horses on account of
glanders. These cases were scattered
