FRANK VINCENT DU "MOND. of New York City, wko has been ap- pointed chief of the Art exhibit at the Lewis and Clark Exposi- tion, ranks among the foremost painters and illustrators of the country, and is considered one of the most remarkable teachers of art 1n the world. It is the hope of interested artists that, during the Centennial, Mr. Du Mond may be persuaded to give a course of instruction. Several members of the Sketch Club have studied with him at the famous Lyme school. This Lyme school is one of the works for which Mr. Du Mond is best known. It was or- ganized by him over twelye years ago and was formerly ‘known as the Du Mond Summer School. At that time it changed its resi- dence all over Europe and about New York. but now its perma- nent location is at Lyme, one of the oldest and quaintest towns of England. Mr, Du Mond was awarded a third class medalin 1890 by the Salon, a gold medal in Roston in 1892, and another at the Atlanta Exposition in 1895. Two silver medals were given him at the Pan-American Exposition, and several other awards at the St. Louis Exposition. “The manage- ment of the Centennial is- to be congratulated in obtaining phe services of such an excellent curator. % WIN SIGNAL VICTORY FRIENC & OF NOLAN RECIPROCAL DEMURRAGE BILL TRIMUPH IN THE HOUSE. REPORT OF RAILROAD COMMIT- TEE FAVORING POSTPONE- MENT REJECTED. St. Paul, March 11.—Friends of the 'W. A. Nolan reciprocal demurrage rail- road bill-won a signal victory in the house Friday. By a vote of 87 to 26, the house rejected a majority report of the railroad committee, recommend- ing the bill for indefinite - postpone- ment, killed a substitute bill offered in its stead and advanced the Nolan measure to general orders. To make the victory more complete, the house voted down a motion to reconsider. By this turn of affairs, all future con- sideration of the majority report or its pubstitute bill was barred, likewise any. opportunity of offering another bill of the same subject matter. At the close of the battle Speaker Clague announced next Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock as a time for the special consideration of the Nolan bill. The unfavorable report on the Nolan demurrage bill in committee was or- dered Thursday night. The vote there was 11 to & and the majority followed with the drafting of a substitute, which placed the entire matter in the hands of the railroad and warehouse commission. The regulation of switch- ing and terminal charges was made optional with the board. The minority at once arranged for a report substituting Mr. Nolan’s meas- ure for the railroad committee’s bill. The house in the afternoon passed the revised code. Final consideration of the code was reached at 3:20 o'clock, and when - the reading clerk had read its pages for less that three minntes, Speaker Clague announced that the code was on its final passage, and ordered the roll call. The call showed 108 members present and vot- ing for the revision as amended by the judiciary committee. Not a negative vote was cast and the house had ful- filled the prediction that it would pass the code within the week and send it along with the responsibility, of its ultimate passage to the senate. OPPOSES CHIROPROCTIC BILL. Senator Witherstine Waxes Sarcastic Over the Measure. Senator itherstine waxed sarcas- tic and facetious over a bill by Sena- tor Gjertsen, which authorizes a state board of chiropractic examiners. He said chiropractics was a novelty in that it professed to cure spinal disloca- tions considered incurable by the best medical men. Chiropractics was in the same class with osteopathy. Two years from now it would be another school and so on ad infinitum. - Senator Gjertsen argued that chiro- practics possessed merit. He had seen it demonstrated in his own fam- | 1y reside thereon. uSck Istand| ystem _ B;-;\f aln Rates.

Laborers in Demand. 10,000 railroad laborers can get work by going to Minneapolis, as 600 miles of new construction work has recently been let in Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana, on. roads running out of Minneapolis, which will eu- able the laborers to be furnished with free transportation by the employment agents. There will also be several thousand men used by railroad companies on betterment work of old lines. Owing to the large number of railroads running out of Minne- apolis, that employ thousands of men each year, it is consider- ed the greatest labor market in the United States. The employ- ment agents are finding it diffi- cult to fill their orders daily, on account of the scareity of men in Minneapolis.
