Governor SarIes Has Kept the
State Finances in Good Shape

Bismarck, N. d., July 6.-Notwith-
standing the payment of $458,0OO of
extraordinary expenses during the
years 1905 and 1906, up to July / of
the latter year, the books of the state
auditors Office show a balance of
$204,000 in the general fund of the
state at the beginning of the fiscal
year July /. During the recent pri-
mary campaign in the state it was
charged that the administration was
in bad way financially and that the
general fund was depleted This
charge is met with the above state
ment, that the present administration
has had to meet extraordinary ex-
penses to the sum above stated and
in addition to paying these expenses
and the current running expenses of
the state UP to date has more than
100000 left in the general fund. The
only receipts by the state aside from
the tax payments and ordinary reve-
nues were from the sale of $150,000 of
bonds, to take care of $154.0OO appro-
priated to pay deficiency building ap-
propriations for the state institutions
which were contracted under previous
administrations, so that the net
amount of extraordinary expenses paid
by the administration is $30S 900. This
is showing of which the administra-
ton feels justly proud and is one of
the reasons advanced by the support
ers of Gov. e. Y. Sarles why he is
entitled to a denomination. In addi-
tion to the satisfactory business rec
ord of the administration, as above in
dicated, new systems of auditing have
been adopted by the governor. All
bills of expense from any source are
accompanied with sub vouchers, so
that there is complete check upon
all expense accounts coming to the
state for payment. This means a saw

Chicago and Alton
Rebate Case Trial
JUDGE Lands RULED ON SOME
COUNTS.
He Refused to INSTRUCT the Jury to
Bring in verdicts of Not Guilty in
Eight Of the Ten Counts, as Re-
quested.

Chicago, July 6.--At the opening
today Of the trial Of the Chicago &
Alton road and two former officials of
the company on the charge of rebat-
ing, Judge Landis announced that he
would overrule the motion of the de-
fense that the jury be instructed to
return a verdict of not guilty on eight
out Of the ten counts in the indict-
ment. Judge Lands held, however.
that the ninth and tenth counts in
the indictments were defective and
that no conviction could be had un-
der them. These two counts charged
the defendants with rebating because
they had refunded passenger fares to
employees of the Schowarzschild &
Sulzterger Co. The court then de-
clared that the defendants had evil
IDENTIFY been guilty of rebating and di-
rected the jury to retire and find a
verdict, giving instructions, however,
that the verdict of not guilty should
be returned as to the two last counts

kiospital Site.

Grand Forks, N. D., July 6.-Mother
Superior Seraphine, at the head Of
the st. Joseph sisterhood, and Mother
Bernadine, in charge of St Josephs
hospital at st. Paul, are in Grand
Forks for the purpose of selecting the
site of the new hospital which will be
constructed here and conducted by
the st. Joseph sisterhood.
There are half dozen or more
sites offered. Two are situated in
Riverside park, two In the vicinity
of the Winship school building, two in
Holes Central addition, and one on
Belmont avenue, near Grand Forks
college.
The Commercial club committee
has secured pledges for $4,000, rep
resenting the sum required to accept
the proposition made by Bishop
Stanley, and in addition, sufficient
will have to be raised to purchase the
site to be selected by the sisters to-
day. 1t is hardly probable that more
than the foundation for the new hos
pital can be put in this year, so that
the building may be completed early
next year.

made yesterday by Thomas Taggart
of the French Lick Springs Hotel Co.
In that statement Taggart had stated
that the casinos were not a part of
hotel properties but were under lease
to third parties and that suits were
pending to cancel these leases because
the hotel companies had learned that
gambling was being conducted at the
casinos. Attorney General Miller said:
There are some peculiar features
about these two pending suits to cam
eel the leases. Why were they brought
in a justice of the peace court at Z
o'clock at night and tried with great
secrecy and then as quietly appealed

been in the Tombs charged with the
murder of Stanford White and he
almost has reached the conclusion
that Thaw is sane, but is a weakling
DR.. Mcclure considers it unneces-
sary to urge insanity as a reason for
the commission of the crime, and be-
Heves Thaw's safety from conviction
lies In plea of justification, upon

sympathy of all men-that a husband

among men in civilized communities
to bring in verdict of vindication,
