The “third house,” which promises to pe a fea- ture of the session, was also in evi- dence. The first bill to be introduced will be one appropriating money for legis- lative expenses, but it will not likely be heard from before Thursday. The house and senate committees will be annoureed then by the two presiding officers. Proceedings in the Senate.

It was a few minutes past the noon hour when Secretary of State Julius H. Schmahl called the members of the house to order. He selected John T. Lennon of Hennepin county for tem- porary clerk. Justice Brown of the supreme court appeared and proceed- ed to administer the oath of office to the members who were sworn in by distriets. The gallery was crowded with spec- tators, which included a few women. Predicts Busy Session. Mr. Schmahl made a few remarks in which he congratulated the members on their election.

St. Paul, Jan. 7.—John A. Johnson was installed as chief executive of the state of Minnesita for the third time. The ceremonies attending the inauguration were simple. Chief Jus- tice Start administered the oath of office. The galleries of the house chamber, where the inauguration took place were filled with visitors. A document of more than ordinary length—nearly eighty typewritten pages in all, the reading of the mes- sage was a rather tiresome task and while a majority of the members sat through it, many sought the comforts of the house smoking room before its conclusion. Governor Johnson, too, was rather weak in voice by the time’ he finished, though he omitted many paragraphs. Unlike the scene two years ago, the inauguration of the governor was de- void of the spectacular. There was some cheering when he entered the chamber preceded by the senate members and the committee named to wait upon him, and there was some applause after the brief introduction by Speaker Rockne, but otherwise his reception was somewhat perfunctory. Mrs. Johnson, with a party of friends, occupied chairs on the main floor while in the galleries were the wives of many of the house and sen- ate members. Accompanying the governor and seated with him on the speaker’s ros- trum were former Governors Lind and Hubbard. To his left sat Lieutenant Governor Eberhart, while on the right was seated Speaker Rockne. Sworn in by Chief Justice Start. Archie Vernon, chief clerk, proceed- ed to the joint roll call. The gov- ernor was then sworn in as the state’s chlef executive by Chief Jus- tice Start of the state supreme court. During the ceremony there was a deathlike silence in the house. With the first week generally given over to preliminaries, the senate upset precedent by suddenly getting down to business, and before it had ad- journed to meet with the house in Joint session for the inauguration of the governor, had no less than nine bills to its credit. The honor of introducing the first bill went to Senator A. D. Stevens of Crookston: It called for $150,000 for legislative expenses, and in language was the same as those that have pre- ceded it since Minnesota became a state and the legislature its only law- making body. It received the unani- mous assent of the senators. Bight other bills were introduced by Senators E. H. Canfield, Luverne; George H. Sullivan, Stillwater, and V. B. Seward, Marshall, and referred to the different committees. Senator Canfield’s bill relates to the time and place of meeting of the two houses and the time when bills shall be introduced. The feature of this bill is that no new bills shall be intro- dueed after the first thirty legislative days of the session, unless the atten- tion of the legislature shall be called to some important matter by a special message from the governor. To Bar Wholesale Liquor Dealers. Senator Canfleld also proposes that in cities of third and fourth classes no licenses for the sale of intoxicat- ing lquors shall be granted to any wholesale dealer in or manufacturer of intoxicating liquors. Another bill by Senator Canfleld provides that certain - contracts en- tered into with unlawful trusts and combinations shall be null and void. Senator Sullivan introduced ‘four bills. The first was for the establish- ment, equipment and maintenance of a factory at the state prison for the manufacture of mowers and harvesters and to allow the appropriation of $300,000 from the state binding twine fund. Another measure introduced by Senator Sullivan authorizes the state hoard of control to issue certificates of indebtedness and to authorize the levy of a tax for the completion of the ‘building for the new state prison. The complete cost is not to exceed $2,000,- 000, to be levied in ten annual install- ments. Senator Sullivan also introduced a measure for the establishment of a logislative reference library. A fourth bill introduced by Senator Sullivan is to prohibit the construc- tion of private roads to the detriment of public highways. Senator Seward’s bill amends the Somerville law. 1t requires more sat- Ssfactory annual reports of the cor- porations to be filed with the secre- tary of state, All told seventeen bills were intro- duced in the senate. The last one, by Senator Fosseen, is to amend the con- stitution so that rallroad taxes shall be paid semi-annually and providing taxes on elther ad valorem or gross earnings basis, BAY STATE HAS NEW HEAD Governor Draper Inaugurated Today With Ancient Ceremonies.

Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally Caused By Carelessness. Dandruff is a contagious disease caused by a microbe which also produces a baldness. Never use a comb or brush belonging to some one else. No matter how cleanly the - owner may be, these articles may be infected with microbee, which will infect your scalp. It is far easier to catch hair microbes than it is to get rid of them, and a single stroke of an infected comb or brush often produces the cause of baldness. Never try on anybody else’s hats for the reason that many a hatband isa netting place for mi- crobes. If you happen to be troubled with dandruff, itching scalp or bald- ness, we have a remedy that we positively know will cure these troubles, and we are so sure of this that we offer it to you with the understanding that it will cost you nothing for the trial if it does not produce the results we claim. This remedy is called Rexall “93” Hair Tonic. It is the most scienti- fic remedy for all all scalp and hair" troubles, and we know of nothing else that equals it for effectiveness. We know this because of the results it has produced in hundreds of cases. Rexall “93” Hair Tonic will posi- tively banish dandruff permanently, restore natural color when its loss has been brought about by disease and makes the hair naturally silky, soft and glossy. It does this because it stimulates the hair follicles, removes dandruff, destroys ' the germ matter, .and brings ubout a free, healthy, circulation of blood which nourishes the causing them to tighten and grow new hair. We want everybody in Bemidji who bas any trouble with hair or scalp to know that Rexall “93” Hair Tonic is the best hair tonic and restorative in existence, and no one should scoff at or doubt this statement until they have put our claims to a fair test, with the understanding that they pay us nothing for the remedy if it does not give full and complete satisfac- tion in every particular.

Mr. Gates’ letter is dated at Port Arthur, Tex., and reads as follows: “I notice a great deal of evidence is being taken on tariff matters in Wash- Ington. It seems to me there are three articles that ought to be put on the free list—iron ore, coal and lum- ber. I have a large portion of my fortune in the steel business, but I say this to you conscientiously and candidly—a cut of 50 per cent in the schedule would not hurt the manufac- turers of iron and steel a particle.” EDWIN HAWLEY ON STAND Questionedl Regarding Merger of Har- riman Railroads.

The: Mistake Is:Made' by Many: Bemidiji % Citizens. Don't mistake the cause of back- ache. To be cured you must know the cause. It is wrong to imagine relief is cure. Backache is kidney ache. You must cure the kidneys. A Bemidji resident tells you how this can be done. Clyde Johnson, living at 1014 Bemidji, avenue, Bemidji, Minn., says: ‘For some time I endured a great deal ot suffering from kidney complaint. There was a pain in my back and during the early part of the day I felt languid and tired. I decided to try a reliable ' kidney remedy, went to The Owl Drug Store, and procured a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills. I used them according to directions, when the pains disappeared and the tired, languid feeling vanished. I know Doan’s Kidney Pills to be a reliable remedy and can recom- mend. them to anyone suffering from kidney complaint.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co.
