suit of competition. b.. ..
Condemns Buying Of Fuel.
The purchase of fuel seems to me to
have been improperly made. Large
quantities of Goal were purchased with
out any contract or competition what
ever, as provided by law, and, as the
report states, the prices were not as
low as some of the prevailing steam
delivered prices charged other concerns
in st. Paul. The public examiner per-
sonally informs me that the closest pos
sible Investigation was made Of the books
of the fuel companies from which this
fuel was purchased, and nothing there
reveals the lfghtest possible suggestion
that any member of the commission
profited in any way by this transaction.
The contracts for the elevators and for
the freproofing seem to have been i'm
properly let and the state did not receive
the best possible value for the money
expended. The failure to establish a
system of unit values for extras in orig
inal contracts was an expensive and in
excusable omission.
8 The building as whole, however, is
a wonderful piece of architecture and,
classed among buildings of its kind in
the country, is generally commended as
being the best. in the country and built
at a reasonable cost If 1 were to criti-
CHE those who had charge Of the con-
struction, the chief criticism would lie
in the fact that the commission, when
appointed, had no idea whatever of COM
plying with the law passed by the legfs-
lature; that it never intended to erect
a building to come within the limits of
the .appropria ton. Anyone accepting a
| public trust to carry out the provisions
of any particular law passed by the legis-
| lature ought to abide absolutely by and
at all times be within the limits of the
law. I am satisfied now-as our people
are generally satisfied, I tllnk-that the
state would not wish building inferior
! to the one we have. 1t is a monument
to the enterprise and industry and Gull
| ture and the strength of the state, and
while l might criticize some of the de-
tails of operation In the construction
of the building, they are not captious
| criticisms. On the contrary I would say

was made by a duly constituted committee. The
difference, approximately $9S,000, appears to
have been purchased at private sale. From the

will be noted tha4 Mr.. Seabury was the princi-

The buildings that were located on the pres

Mr.. Seabury secured the services of P. T.
Kavapsgh as auctioneer, for the sale OF these
buildings. Mr.. Kavanagh obtained about $4oc
of the funds realized from the sale Of these
buildings, which should have been turned over to
the board. This, however, has not been done,
and Mr.. Kavanagh is still indebted to the board
for that amount.

Tho Old Clothes Man.

The clever young character actor,
James Kyrle MacCurdy. comes to the
opera house Wednesday, Nov. 14th,
in the role of Solomon Levi, in his
successful play, "The Old Clothes
Man. The play centers around
Rachel Levi, daughter of Solomon,
who falls into the clutches of Geof-
! frey Ward, prize fighter and adven-
turer The story of Solomon's
search for the daughter, assisted by
Terry, the kid his clerk, and the
privations and degradation to which
the girl falls before her loved ones
find her and bring her back to free
dom and new life, form plot
which. affords ample opportunity for
Mr.. MacCurdy's powers.
Solomon Levi is character. He
is tender, sympathetic, loving toward
his daughter. and yet all this van
ishes'at times before his hatred for
the man who wronged her. An
eve for an eye, a tooth for tooth, a
life for a life" is the vow which
sends Levi far over mountain and
valley to meet the scoundrel who has
wrecked his home. Mr.. MacCurdy
makes the piece character sketch,
the incidents serving to bring out
strongly Solomon's peculiarities
The venomous hate quickly chang
ing to kindness, sorrow giving place
to laughter, and the indescribable
composite of feelings which go to
make up the old peddler, are turned
with nicely.
The Salvation Army plays an i'm
portant part in the setting, ana the
play is unusually free from blood
curdling features. a prize fight in
the last act, in which Solomon Levi
scores knockout against his old
enemy gives fitting conclusion.
Mr.. MacCurdy is we'll and favorably
known, and his many admirers Will
find him in delightful character
part filed with pathoS and comedy.
There are numerous vaudeville skltS
introduced during the action OF the
play, and as special feature and to
lend realism in the arena scene, the
we'll known boxers, Danny Dough-
ertv and Kid Sharkey, appear in
their delightful physical culture
stunt. The performance presented
by these experts of the arena is most
interesting to the female part OF the
audience, and perfectly proper for
them to view. The Old Clothes
Man" comes to the Greeley opera
house next Wednesday, Nov. l4th.
