LAW IGNORED;
500, 600 ASKED
EMPRESS COMPANIES OF STATE
ARE SUED FOR FAILURE TO
MAKE REPORTS ON THEIR
BUSINESS.

Aberdeen. S. Diapers in the suit
o. the state of South Dakota VS.. the
American Express company and the
Wells-Fargo Express company have
been served on the local representa-
tive of the American Express and
the Sioux Falls agent of the Wells
Fargo company and have also been
flied with the clerk of the circuit
court of the fifth judicial district.
Each Of the companies is being
sued for the sum of 100000 FOR fail
ure to file with the auditor of the
state a statement of its business done
Tor each of the last four years. the
penalty for which failure is prescrib-
ed by law to not exceed the sum of
$4,000 for each such offense. Attor-
ney-General Royal c. Johnson, in the
name of the state, is bringing this
suit against the companies.
The law requires a statement Civ
ing the total number of employees en-
gagged by the company in the state
and the number in each county: the
total number OF offices maintained in
the state and each county and the
value of all office furniture. fixtures
and zeal estate owned by it within
this state; the number OF miles OF
| railroad in the state and in each
county over which the company con
ducts it's business, total number OF
express or sleeping coaches owned OF
leased by the company within the
state. also the gross earnings OF the
total business OF the company trans
acted in the state and the value OF al
the company's property in the state.
The two cases will probably be
placed on the calendar for the No
y~mber term of court when they VII
come before Judge Frank McNulty
court in this city.

NEW YORK A CITY OF FLATS

Park avenue has usurped the honor
of being the leading apartment street
Of the city. 1t is only a few years
since builders of apartments gave any
attention to the east side of the city.
All their operations were along Broad
way, Riverside drive and West End
avenue. 1t is only few years since
the first apartment house was erect
ed in Park avenue, yet most of the
blocks on either side of the avenue
from Fifty-second to Eighty-third
street, are lined now with tall apart
ments, which are said to be the best
in the city. Though Park avenue is
considered the leading apartment
house avenue in the city. rentals
there are not exorbitant-in fact,
apartments in new buildings may be
got to fit almost any purse. Six rooms
and two baths can be had for $1,7O0
a year. Suites can be had even for
less rent than this. From S1,T00 rents
range gradually to $4,000. which is
about the highest rental paid, on the
-aASe-le. -+rhia rent is- obtaine&in the
seventeen story apartment at Seventy
ninth street. Prices in this house are
from $4,000 to $4,000.
About two blocks away, at the cor.
ner of Fifth avenue and Eighty-first
street, as high as $4,000 year may
be paid for apartments. This prob
ably is the highest-oriced apartment
house in the world.
West End avenue has been the scene
of most of the apartment house build
ing on the west side since last sea
son. Half dozen fine houses have
been erected there.

A story From San Francisco About
Former Corporal of impossible
Name.

San Francisco.-Corp. Mieczyslaw
Smialkowski, quartermaster corps,
Fort Greble, R. l.. war department or
ders have it, has just been discharged
from the army by purchase, which re-
minds us that Corp Mieczyslaw Small
kowski formerly served in the quar-
termaster corps at the Preside of San
Francisco under Mai X. j. Hampton.
One day Major Hampton had a bad
cold and sneezed frequently, and that
day Corporal Mieczyslaw went into
Major Hampton's office about ten
times and asked that officer if he
hadn't called him when he hadn't.
A man with bad cold isn't apt to
be in the best of humors, and the
eleventh time the corporal appeared
without being called the major was
mad clear through.
"Doggone it, corporal" he snapped,
i've got holy terror of cold, and
if you persist in coming in here every
time | sneeze because you think I'm
trying to pronounce your fool name
I'll have you up before a summary
court, if it's the last act do before !
