No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong; but the Path- ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different. One of my patients, Mr. W. A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic is ten times more direct in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more. thor- ough in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would. 2l 2B a0 0 2 e o 2l o 0 2 A B S o < B B B B bbb ddbdddddddd bttt C: W.

Otticial Paper Village of Bemidji SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR ; The Daily Paper. Few persons who peruse the daily papers, at the supper ta- ble, winter or summer, in sun- shine and in storm, think of the amount of capital invested, the labor involved, and the care and anxiety incident to the pre paration of the sheet which is so regularly served at all sea- sons of the year. Even" in the newspaper world, surrounded as we are by all the appliances of business, we sometimes igq}o‘i’e that which makes the daily journal a success, and overlook the steady prcgcess made and still making in im- proving themachineryand gen- eral organization of a first-class newspaper establishment, —Geo.

It SEEMS probable that the legislature will pass the bill rec- ommended by the joint drainage committees of the house and sen- ate appropriating $150,000 for drainage work under thedirection of the drainage commission for the next two years. That the state will reap a direct profit as well as an indirect has been abundantly proved by the work which the commission has al- ready done. The bill should at the same time, however, provide for good road building with every ditch. In no way can roads be built more economically than by the side of the state ditches with the material which is taken from the ditches. With yvery little extra expense a good permanent road can be built by the side of every ditch dug, and it is where ditciies are most needed that good roads are most needed. The subjects of drainage and good roads are of twin impor- tance in northern Minnasota and the two naturally go hand in hand. The good roads commis- sion should also be established but the opportunity to make good roads in connection with ditching is one that should not be over- looked.

St. Paul, March 1.—In the house Tuesday W. C. Fraser of Olmsted county introduced a bill bringing all telephone and telegraph companies in the state under the jurisdiction of the railroad and warehouse commission. By its terms telegraph and telephone companies are designated as common carriers, and as such must submit to rules and regulations to e drafted by the railway commission. The commission is authorized to des- Ignate what hours telephone and tele- graph exchanges shall be kept open and to compel connections between companies, if it deems such necessary. For the purpose of legalizing what is now done, John Zelch of Washington county offered a bill authorizing the board of .control to borrow money to meet the current demands on the re- volving fund of the state prison. The amount borrowed is not to be in ex- cess of 50 per cent of the fund. Five days must elapse after the is- suance of a license before a marriage can be performed, ‘under a bill intro- duced by Elmer E. Adams of Ferg\fs Falls. Violation of this provision is made a misdemeanor and penalties are provided. Two bills designed to protect the fee system in vogue in several of the coun- Iv offices were introduced by the Ram- tey county delegation. This scheme of protection is hased on the fear that the next state census will bring Ramsey county within the 200,000 class in population, and, if so, then Hennepin county’s straight salary law will prevail. Such a condition is avoided by making the United States census the basis of computation. State Inspection of Hay. Carl Wallace wants hay scales and state inspection of that commodity provided at terminal points, which are to be St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth, and has offered a bill providing for such. - In line with the charge that the leg- Islature has been paying a fancy fig- ure for its stationary, P. A. Gandrud of Kandiyohi county introduced a bill providing for the purchase of supplies for future legislatures by the board of control. : Carl Wallace of the Hennepin dele- gation, is the author of two bills. One of which provides a penitentiary sen-, tence for a confirmed blind pigger and the other diracted against the' nickel- In-the-slot machine.

AN IMPORTANT MEASURE. Senate Bill Affects Wage-Earners of Small Means. An important bill bearing upon wage-earners of small means was in- troduced in the state by Senator Rieke. It relates to exemption of wages from attachment, and is said to emanate from the Retail Grocers’ association. Under the bill, as proposed, the wages of any person or minor child of any person, due for any services ren- dered by such person, shall be ex- empt from process of attachment, gar- nishment or levy of an execution in a sum not exceeding $25, where said ‘wages are paid monthly or at longer intervals. But where the wages are payable at shorter imntervals than once a month, then the amount of the ex- emption shall be for a proportionate sum at the rate of $25 per month. Un- der the present law the exemption is: $25, and there is no provision for pro- portional exemptions. A Dbill by Sepator Rieke authorizes the pardon board to employ a clerk for four years at $1,200 a year to copy back records from 1858 to date touch- ing pardons and all matter: appertain- ing to this subject Senator Stephens’ bill prohibits the use of automatic and repeating shot- guns in hunting wild birds. The pen- alty Is a fine, and the carrying of what are known as ‘“pump” guns in the ‘woods, will be prima facie evidence of a violation of the law. Under a bill by Senator Witherstine, a similar bill having been introduced in the house, telegraph and telephone companies are made common carriers and placed under the control of the railroad and warehouse commission. It may inquire into the reasonable- ness of service and rates and establish joint rates. The state medical board is authoriz- ed to accept certificates from licensed physiclaus of other states, under a bill proposed by Senator Cole. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. James B.
