SUBSCRIPTION---85.00 PER ANNUM IMUAGRATION BOARD Senate Passes Bill Providing for Creation of One. CARRIES NO APPROPRIATION Measure Providing for Appointment of a Commission to Have Charge of the Extension of the Capitol Grounds Is Passed by the Senate. St. Paul, April 16.—The bill to pro- vide for the creation of a board of im- migration was passed by the senate after the appropriation of 000 had been stricken from the bill. Rule 12, which caused so much argument in the early days of the session, came into question again when this bill was called up for passage, as the bill had not been to the finance committee. Senator Thorpe of Willmar, author of the bill, is a member of that commit- tee and bas often Insisted upon the enforcement of the rule which re- quires the reference to the finance committee. This s called to his attention by Senator Ole O. Sageng of Dalton, but Senator Thorpe explained that he wanted an expression of the views of the scnators on the bill, and he thought that rule 12 had been so twisted and turned that there was some question as to the existence of such a rule. In order to get a vote of the bill he offered an amendment strik- Ing out the appropriation and this was adopted. Only ten senators cast their votes agalnst the bill to provide for the ap- pointment of a commission to have charge of the extension of the capitol grounds, when the bill came up for passage with the appropriation cut out, Governor Will Appoint the Members. The bill, as passed, authorized the governor to appoint the members of the commission who will have charge of the acquisition of additional ground and the improvement and beau- tifying of the ground when acquired. For the purpose of securing the ground needed the bill provides that the land may be condemned. Ag passed, the blll carries no appro- priation, and unless some vrovision is made in the omnibus bill, no funds will be available for the commission untll after the next session of the leg- Islature, but by that time the comm slon will be prepared to submit de talled plans for the proposed improve- ments and the probable cost. The bill to provide for the organiza- tion of the Minnesota National Guard along the lines prescribed by the Dick law was passed by the senate. Sena- tor John C. Hardy of St. Paul ex- plained that under the provisions of the Dick bill it is necessary to orga- nize the state militia along certain lines In order to secure the co-opera- tion and uid of the federal government In the management and conduct of the militia. The Dbill also extends the term of office of the adjutant general from two to six years. The non-partisan judiciary bill intro- duced by Senator J. W. Pauly of Min- neapolis passed the senate by a vote of 33 yeas and 21 nays. Senator Ole 0. Sageng of Dalton, the {lone Populist member of the legisla- ture, succeedod in having the senate pa: his bill exempting candidates who have been nominated at a pri- mary electicn from paying any fee to have their names placed on the gen- eral election ballots. Fish Hatchery at Deerwood. The bill to provide for a third fish hatchery to be established at Deer- wood, Crow Wing county, and appro- priating $6,000 for this purpose was passed by the senate. The bill was in- troduced by Senator S. F. Alderman of Brainerd. Ambrose Tighe of St. Paul secured the approval of the house committee of the whole for his bill to give to water boards the right of eminent domain. The house passed Sen~tor Canfield’s bill to appropriate $200,000 from the state’s general fund for roads and e bridges throughout the counties. The money is to be spent under the super- vision of the county boards. The highway commrission is left without any say In the matter. Considerable question has been raised as to the con- stitutionality of the bill and manv claim that it is clearly unconstitution- al, but the house committee on judi- clary holds the bill constitutional. The reduced freight rate bill, intro- duced by the house committee, came back to the house with the senate amendment correcting clerical errors and wps repassed by the house. The bill is the one drawn by the railroad commission, and reduces freight rates an average of 10 per cent throughout the te. The automobile bhill introduced in the house by Representatives Thayer, Case and Libby to take the place of the three bills introduced by these gentlemen earlier in the session, was recommended to pass by the house committee of the whole. ‘The house in committee of the whole killed the two bills introduced by El- mer Adams of Fergus Falls relating to tlie care and treatment of the in- sane. The first bill provided that when a person {s committed to the hospital, the hospital authorities should be notified and they shall send & trained attendant to take the patient to the institution. The other bill pro- vided that the county from which a patient is committed should pay $75 annually for his support. An Easier Trip. “The president of this road,” remark- ed the man in the corner of the smok- ing compartment, “is one of those old fashioned railroaders. He began as a brakeman. Instead of riding over the line in a private car to inspect it, he walks over it.” “I don't blame him,” declared the man who was making his I first trip on ihe road.—Cleveland Press. BLO D POISON CURE YOURSELF AT HOME Most persons who are afflicted with Contagious Blood Poison hesitate to go toa physician for several reasons. . In the first place the expense is heavy, and they know that the inevitable treatment will be mercury and potash, strong minerals that act with disastrous effects on the delicate parts of the system, and which do not, after all, really cure the disease. they want is a safe, reliable treatment ‘What that can be taken at home and a per- fect cure made of this loathsome disorder without unnecessary exposure or expense.

City of Mexico, April 17.—An earth- quake has completely destroyed the towns of Chilpancingo and Chilapa, in the state of Guerreo. The shocks continue and the people of the towns are panic stricken. From messages received at the tele- graph oflice here it appears that the entlre southern half of the republic, including the lower country and the “Mesa” Dbelt, felt the shock. The National bank of Mexico has received a telegram saying that 500 lives were lost in the destruction of Chilpancingo and Chilapa. In govern- menr circles the report is not credited. It is admitted that both cities were leveled to the ground, but it is not thought that the death list will even approximate 500, Messages from as far north as San Luis Potosi and as far south as the city of San Juan Bautista, in the state of Tabasco, report feeling the shock in varying degrees. But at no place up to date has a loss of life or great destruction of property been reported except in the state of Guerrero. ‘The boundary line of the northern zone of the present earthquake shock, according to reports received up to this time, shows it extended across the country in a northwesterly diree- tlon for » distance of over 400 miles and that the southern extent of the shock covered a distance of over 600 miles, making in all 240,000 square miles of territory affected by the last shock. MEDICAL BUILDING IN RUINS Second Disastrous Fire at McGill University. Montreal, April 17—A second dis- astrous fire within two weeks has vis- ited McGill university and practically destroyed the medical building, one of the oldest and most valuable of the splendid collection on the college grounds. The results of the fire were most disastrous, as in addition to the usual equipment of a college medical building the museum, one of the best on the continent, was destroyed. The loss in this cannot be considered in money value, as the museum has been collecting for nearly three-quarters of a century and contained many abso- lutely priceless specimens. The mag- nificent library, however, was saved. Immediately after the disastrous fire which wiped out the engineer building the university authorities, it is understood, placed $500,000 of extra insurance on the whole university plant. The medical building will share in this, but it is doubtful whether the insurance will cover one- half of the actual damage. The build: ings were erected at a cost of about $350,000. The collections which they contained are practically beyond all estimate as to value. AFFIRMED ON APPEAL. Decision in the Chicago and Alton Rebate Case. Chicago, April 17.—The United States court of appeals has affirmed the conviction in the district court of the Chicago and Alton railroad and John M. Faithorn and Fred A. Wann, former ofticials of the line, for grant- ing rebates. The company and the two officials were found guilty last year and an aggregate fine of $60,000 was imposed by the court. The railroad company was fined $40,000 and the two officials $10,000 each. The conviction of .the defendants followed the prosecution of the gov- ernment, which alleged that rebates had been granted to the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger company in the ship- ment of meats. The rebates were said to have been paid to the packing com- pany under the guise of “refund of terminal charges,” the amount being $1 on each car for the use of the tracks of the packing company in get- ting the cars of freight out from the packinghouse to the main line of the Chicago and Alton. I0WA BANK ROBBED. Safecrackers Secure $4,400 in Cash and Escape. Hazleton, Ia., April 17.—Robbers forced an entrance to the State bank of Hazleton, blew open the vault with nitroglycerin, secured $4,400 in cash and escaped. Before exploding the nitroglycerin the robbers piled sacks of cement, secured from a neighboring store, all over the safe, deadening the sound of the explosion. Prominent Stockman Arrested. Cheyenne, Wyo., April 17.—Through the arrest at Buffalo, Wyo., of Henry W. Davis, a prominent stockman, it became known that the federal grand jury which sat in this city recently had returned an indictment against Davis on the charge of perjury in con- nection with the acquisition of title to public lands in Johnson county. Davis 8ave bail before a United States com- missloner for his appearance at the May term of the federal court. High Game and Fools. “Never eat game high,” said an anti- quary. “People will tell you that high game is tenderer. What rot! Of course it is tenderer, but would you want yolir steak or your chop spoiled in order that it might be a little softer to the teeth? No, never! Highness in game is an anachronism, a relic of the past, a relic of the days of stage coaches. In those days it was impos- sible to deliver game to the cities fresh —transit was too slow. All game was high, and men ate it high because oth- erwise they couldn’t eat it at all; hence to eat game high nowadays, ‘When there is no necessity for it, is to For Elderly Folks.

I shan't take any check either, but want cash.” “Mrs. Russell, do you know the value of the waste In this country every year?” asked the major after consult- Ing a battered city directory for a couple of minutes, “I know that such raseals as you beat me out of at least $200 every year,” “The money value of the waste Is a bladder at this time of the year. ; FUGLS OLD LANDLADY How Major Crofoot Got Out of Paying Back Board Bill. CREDITOR WAS DETERMINED; But the Grand Promoter and General Organizer Was Equal to the Occa- sion and Came Out on the Ground Floor. [Copyright, 1005, by M. M. Cunningham.] Major Crofoot, grand promoter of prand enterprises, sat in his office with Just enough fire in the stove to keep the Ironwork warin. He had counted the money in his pockets and knew that he had exactly 80 cents. Ifad his financial standing been figured it would have read: “Assets, exactly 80 cents. “Liabilities, about $+,%0. “Expectations, unlimited. “Nerve, same as usual, “Pigeons, scarce.” Major Crofoot was waiting to pro- mote somebody or something when ‘“THE DOOR OPENED AND THE KNOCKERESS WALKED IN. there came a knock on his door. It wasn't the knock of a woman suffering with the toothache and who wanted to inquire for the dentist upstairs, nor yet the knock of a creditor who was com- ing in to say that if his bill was not paid that day he would begin a lawsuit. It was a knock that bothered the major for a minute, and before he could make up his mind exactly what to do the door opened and the knockeress walked in and bowed coldly and sat down. The major recognized her at a glance as his old landlady—one of his old landladies, one of the ones to whom he was in- debted in the sum of about $30. His mind was instantly made up. He gave her no chance to refer to his perfidy in walking off as a debtor, but said: “I see, my dear Mrs. Russell, that you got my little note of yesterday and are here on time. I am glad to see such promptness ou your part. It shows me that I have made no mistake in ap- pointing you secretary of the Great American Fconomic company, capital $3,000,000.” Wants Money Due Her. “I got no note from you yesterday,” she replied. “I haven't heard from you since the day you walked out of my house, and that's two years ago. I saw you on the street half an hour ago and followed you. You owe me over $30, and I want it!” “No note from me! Dear, dear me! The messenger must have gone to the wrong house. I wrote to ask you to call at this hour, and all night long I ‘was thinking of what a pleasant sur- prise I had in store for you. It surely must be the hand of Providence that guided you here.” “You may as well leave out the blar- ney and fork over my money. I have got a lawyer who will put you in jail if you don’t pay.” “My dear, dear woman,” sald the major as he fixed himself anew in his chair, “there was a time when I was in financial straits. Such periods are some- tlmes referred to as a person being stone broke or on his uppers. I had the ambition, but not the opportunity. ‘While waiting for the opportunity I wandered into your well kept caravan- sary. You cast your bread on the wa- ters—that is, you took me in without money aud without price, trusting to my honor to pay you in the future.” “I never did anything of the kind, sir!” exclaimed Mrs. Russell. “I told you the front room upstairs and board would be §8 per weel, and you sald it was cheap enough. I couldn’t get a cent out of you, and after four weeks you skipped out. You are a bilk and a deadbeat, sir, but I'll have my money or know the reason why!” “You had confidence in me, my dear woman, when others had not, and I determined that when the time came I would repay you a hundredfold. That hundred milllon dollars every year. The Economic company wlill gave as much of that waste as possible. It will gather up castoff clothing, boots and shoes, foods, played out umbrellas, bottles, tin cans and so forth, In ome year we shall gather up waste to the amount of $10,000,060, two-thirds of 'Whlch will be clear profit. After the first year we shall pay 50 per cent divi- dends right along. I shall not only pay you $15,000 per year as secretary, but let you in on the ground floor for a large block of stock. Among my mail this morning was a letter from King Edward of England, in which he says he will save at least a million dollars’ worth of old shoes for us every year. It is the biggest, richest thing in the world. All the gold mines of Colorado put together can’'t equal it. Can you dictate to a stenographer?” “I'd lixe to know what all this talk is about!” angrily replied the cred- itor. “I tell you, sir, it won’t do. You played the sneak and skulked on me, and now you've got to pay that bill. Will you do it now?” “My dear old landlady, it palns me to observe this aggressive disposition on your part. You sheltered me. You trusted me. You had confidence in me when the rest of the world turned coldly away. I am a man who can never forget a kindness, but now, ‘when I would requite you”— “Why didn’t you come back and pay up like a man?” “Months and months ago, when the tlde had turned with me and the mil- lions were rolling in, I started Sor your house with a check In my pocket. 1 anticipated taking you by the hand and telling you how glad I was to be | able to pay my debt. Almost at your door I met Jones—Jones of the cock j eye—and he told me that you had mar- ried a French count and gone to Paris to set up a steam laundry. That was the sole reason why I retraced my steps. I have tried in vain to get your Parls address. Are you just in on the steamer?” Her Last Request. “You know better. You know that you are lying to me. I ask you once more and for the last time, will you pay that bill?” “Certainly, my dear—certainly. I only wish it was larger. Do you re- fuse the secretaryship?” “ do.” “And you don't want horses and diamonds?” “1 don’t.” “And you won't come in on the ground floor?” “No, sir, nor any other floor. I'll take the money for that bill, and then I'll leave you—no check, but the cold cash.” “It is hard, woman—it is hard in- deed to have one’s financial honor doubted, but I must forgive you. As you will not take a check I will run upstairs and get the photographer to cash it. I suppose $40 will straighten the matter out?” “Yes, sir.” “If any one calls tell ’em I'll be back in three minutes,” said the major as he disappeared through the door. The landlady waited fifteen minutes and then began to shiver with the cold. She walted fifteen more and then be- gan to walk about. ‘When three-quarters of an hour had passed she looked out in the hall. At the end of an hour she kicked over two chairs, tore the calendar off the wall and knocked down the stove- pipe and went downstairs, Some folks might have waited all winter, but Mrs. Russell knew when to let go. M. QUAD. Innocent. Timothy Coffin, who was prominent at the bar of Bristol county, Mass., half a century ago, once secured the ac- quittal of an old Irishwoman accused of stealing a plece of pork. As she was leaving the courtroom she put her hand to her mouth and in an audible whisper said: “Mr. Carfin, what'll I do with the por-ruk ?” Quickly came the retort: “Eat it, you fool.
