VILLAGES ENJOY PRIVILEGE And Senator Sageng Believes Cities With Not More Than Ten Thousand People’ Would Be Glad of a Like Opportunity—House Bill ‘Would Do Away With Capital Punishment and Make Life Imprisonment the Ex- treme Penalty for Murder. St. Paul, Jan. 20.—Local option for clties containing not more than 10, 000 people is provided for in a bill given its first reading in the senate. The bill is credited to Senator Ole O. Sageng of Dalton, who introduced a similar measure of a broader import two years ago. The new bill does not imply county option nor state wide option. It gives permission to the host of small towns of the state to as- certain if the majority of voters want saloons. The villages of the state now enjoy that privilege and Mr. Sageng believes that a large number of small cities will be glad of a like opportunity. A similar bill is now before a commit- tee of the house. Another bill relating to the liquor trafic introduced in the senate was fathered by Frank Clague of Lamber- ton and extends the present law re- lating to the treatment of minors, drunkards and persons under guard- ianship, so far as the saloons are con- cerned. The bill makes it a criminal offense for a saloonkeeper to permit such a person in his place of busi- ness after notice by the paremt or guardian. Senator Sageng introduced the con- stitutional amendment, which, it passed, will throw open the ballot to all women over twenty-one years of age. This promises to be one of the interesting bills of the present session. Sageng Protested in Vain. Mr, Sageng protested in vain and alone against the adoption of the re- port of the committee on rules in- definitely postponing the considera- tion of his rule requiring a report on all bills at least twenty days after reference to the committee. He was opposed by Senator V. B. Seward of Marshall, chairman of the committee on rules. The report received 46 to 6 in fa- wor of the stand of Mr. Segeng. Senator B. E. Sundberg of Kennedy would have the state offer a bounty of $1,000 to the first twenty rural school districts which concolidate, and $1,000 a year to those which con- tinue the plan. It is required that the principal teacher be competent to teach agriculture. Senator D. S. Hall of Buffalo Lake would have the legislature give per- mission to the citles to pay car fare of employes so that appropriations can be made to reimburse policemen and health officers. A statue of Alexander Ramsey, the war governor of Minnesota, is pro- vided for in a bill by Senator Wilson of Minneapolls introduced. A com- mission composed of Governor J. A. Johnson, S. R. Van Sant, John Lind, Y:: F. Hubbard and General J. W. Bishop is provided. The bill carries an appropriation of $10,000. The statue 18 to be placed in the natlonal stat- wary hall at Washington, D. C. The abolition of capital punishment is the alm of a bill introduced in the house by C. M. Bendixen of Morgan, which provides lite imprisonment for murder in the first degree. To pre- vent such murderers turned loose up- on the community, Mr. Bendixen ac- companies his bill with another pro- viding that a person sentenced for murder in the first degree cannot be pardoned. Gross Earnings Tax Measure. ‘A bill providing a gross earnings tax of 4 per cent for interurban and suburban electric lines was introduced by the two Washington county mem- ‘bers, John Zelch and Adam Anderson. A good roads bill was introduced by Ole Peterson of Nicollet county. It provides for the payment of all road taxes in money and for a town in- spector of roads, to be elected by the town board, instead of the present town road overseers. Kerry Conley of Rochester offered a bill for educational work for the prevention and treatment of tubercu- losis. It appropriates $5,000 to be used In the present fiscal year and $26,000 for each of the next two years. G. H. Mattson of Roseau introduced & bill changing the opening of the season for ducks and kindred fowls from Sept. 1 to Sept. 15. The book trust was put on the grill in a resolution by Elmer Adams of Fergus Falls, calling for a commit- tee of five to investigate the ramifica- tions of the trust. The house adopted the resolution without debate. It re- cites that it is generally believed that reports that “undue influence is used by certain publishers of school books, not only in placing their books in the public schools of the state, but in the selection of superintendents and teachers favorable to the use of the = books published by them, thus greatly increasing the cost of education and SOCIETY FILLS COURTROOM Flocks to Sensational Divorce Case In Edinburg. Bdinburg, Jan. 21.—Members of the smart set from London soclety were present in large numbers for the hear- ing of the much discussed Stirling divorce case, in which cross petitions were filed by John Alexander Stirling, former lieutenant of the King's guards and Laird of Kippendavie, Perthshire, and his wite, formerly Clara Eliza: beth Taylor of Washington, who mar- rled the Scottish land owner in 1904 while she was appearing in London in “The Earl and the Girl.” Both co-respondents were present in court. Lord Northland was accom- panied by his father, Earl Ranfurly, former governor of New Zealand, while the famous beauty, Mrs. Mabel Louise Atherton, named by Mrs. Stir- ling, sat alone, close to the witness box. LILLEY'S NAME IS STRICKEN FROM ROLL Governor of Gonnecticut Not @ Member of House. Washington, -Jan, 21~—That the service of George L. Lilley as a mem: ber of the house of representatives ceased on Jan. 6, the day tougwing that on which he was inauglirated governor of Connecticut, was the opin: ion expressed by the house judiciary committee in a resolution which was adopted without division or debite by the house. Governor Lille; _had not tendered his resignation to the house. The committee’s report was on a resolution striking Mr. Lilley’s name from the roll of the house and declar- ing his seat vacant. The committee claims in its report that the resignation tendered by Mr. Lilley to Governor Woodruff was l- fictent, although not doceptdd by ¢ governor, to terminate hi mehber ship in the house in so far as Mr. Lilley was concerned. DANCE TO AID BLIND POOR New York Soclety Interested in Grand “Head Ball.” New York, Jan. 21.—In the name of charity New York society will dance tonight in the Hotel Plaza at a grand “bal de tets,” or “head ball,” the pro- ceeds of which will be devoted to al- leviating the condition of the blind poor. It will be a brilliant affair un- der the patronage of the French and English ambassadors and Secretary Root. The color scheme will be red and the decorations will include Amer- ican, British and French flags, Many of the women will wear the Beaddresses of Spanish and Dutéh peasants. Others will appear with Venetian headdress and Venetian ruffs. Neck ruffs are to be a special feature, particularly those of the days of Queen Elizabeth, as they are an effective lne of demarkation between fanoiful headdress and-modern even- ing dress. TO ENFORCE OPEN SHOP Important Matter to Come Up at Meeting of Lake Carriers. Detroit, Mich., Jap. 21.—Vesselmen from all over the Great Lakes to the number of about one hundred were present when the annual meeting of the Lake Carriers’ assoclation was salled to order. One of the most im- portant matters to come before the members is the welfare plan made public by the executive committee several weeks ago. which embodies the enforcemer® of the “open shop” principle on the ships enrolled in the assoclation. The annual reports of P'ledent Livingstone and the other officers of the association occupied the opening session. Canadian Murderer Executed. Winnlpeg, Man, Jan. 21.—George F.

BEGIN SIX-DAY MEETIN Three Days’ Sessions in Chicago to Be Followed by “Child Labor Sun- day” and Two Days’ Conferences in ‘Washington—President Roosevelt Interested in Establishment of Fed: oral Children’s Bureau. Chicago, Jan. 21.—The opening in this city today of the fifth annual child labor conference under the auspices of the national child labor committee marks the beginning of six days of continuous work in behalf of children by the leading philan thropists and soclologists of the Unit- ed States. The conference will be in session in Chicago from this ‘afternoon until Saturday evening. Sunday will be “child labor day” in churches through- out the country, by request of the national child labor committee, which has worked hard to secure the co- operation of clergymen in the work. On Monday and Tuesday of next week there will be held in Washing- ton a two days’ conference on the needs of dependent children, opening with a meeting of the laborers in this fleld at the White House. The meeting was called by President Roosevelt and he will welcome the conferees. Although the Chicago meetings will discuss many phases of the child la: bor question their main purpose is the advocacy of the establishment of a federal children’s bureau, charged with the duty of looking after the in- terests of the country’s children. This is the purpose of a bill introduced in the United States senate Jan. 10 by Senator Crane of Massachusetts. Angered by Senate’s Levity. It aroused merriment among the members of the senate, who amused themselves with puns on the name of Crane, comparing it with that of the | g stork. Several of today’s conferees expressed indignation at the semate’s levity, declaring that the subject of the Dbill is one of the most eerious matters now before the country. A bill to establish a national chil- dren’s bureau was introduced in the United States senate in the winter of 1906-6 at the request of the national child labor committee. The bill did not come to a vote, although it re- ceived - the hearty endorsement ot &0~ Thia' pbjavt 14 to” éncourage tho dovelopment o /the mineral resources, Qtders Supgression of Boycott, Constantinople, Jan. 21.—The gov- ernmont has Hsued instructions to the customs authorities to take meas- uros to suppress the existing boycott on Anstrian ;d Bulgarian goods.

Harmon to Retain Recelvership. Cincinnati, Jan. 21.—Governor Jud- son Harmon, whose resighation as re- celver of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railrbad was presented before his inauguration as-governor of Ohio, has withdrawn the resignation at the urgent request of United States Cir- cuit Judge Lurton and will retain con- trol of the raitroad until May 1, un- less the receivership is lifted prior to that date. MEANS NEGRO DOMINATION Tillman Opposes Republican Plan of Uplifting Colored Man. ‘Washington, Jan. 21.—Senator Till- man deénied that he was opposed to the education 'of negroes, as Presi- dent-Elect Taft is reported to have sald at Augusts, Ga., was the case. Ho 'sald, however, that he was an- tagonistic to the Republican plan of uplifting the negroes, which means 'domination by them in the South. Mr. Tillman added that if the Re: bublicrns would abandon this plan by repealing the fifteenth amendment the result would be to give the states con- trol of their own affairs and thus give them an opportunity to assist the ne- groes in a legitimate way. He declared, however, that the Bouth would never consent to the ele- ¥ation of the negroes in any way that would enable them to put their heels oun the necks of the white people.

IN MISSOURI - RATE CASES Final Arguments in Long Battle Be- gun at Kansas City. Kansas City, Jan, 21.—Final argu- ments in the cases of the elghteen Missouri railways that are contesting, the state 2-cent passenger and max- imum freight rate-acts on the ground that they are confiscatory were begun in the federal court here before Judge Bmith McPherson. Frank Hagerman, who opened the argument for the rail- roads, declared that three companies have shown an actual loss in carrying passengers at 2 cents, while the re- turns from the other railroads show profits of only 2% to b per cent. San- ford B. Ladd of Kansas City, who fol- lowed Mr. Hagerman, opening for the state, asserted that one road, the Burlington, whose officials asserted it had lost $630,000 in its stato freight ‘business in 1904, had, as a matter of fact, shown a profit of about $850,000. Governor Herbert S. Hadley, who had been active in these proceedings while attorney general, will make the principal argument for the state. The case has attracted widespread attention.

Every industry has its pioneer days and it is during these struggling times that its worth and merit are tested. The early his- tozy of Chamberlain’s Cough Remed shows taat, except in point of merit, it had no more hope or success than other similar preparations, which were started at about the same time, but were neyer known outside of their own locality and have long since ceased to be manufactured. Step by step eachsuccessive year as its superior excellence becomes more widely known it has been gradually gumhlg in favor. - Taken first, ‘perhaps, on trial by some family, who found 1t good, it was recommended by them to a neighbor; they in turn passed it on to other friends and for over thirty-five years ts rep- utation has in this manner been spreading until it has reached the utmost corners oi the earth. Science and advanced medical authority-during all this time have failed to produce @ _better remedy for coughs, colds and croup, and today Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is enjoying the largest eale of any similar preparation on the market. This success can be attributed to no other cause than its sterling worth. No matter how much l(;rcmuuem:e an_article may -receive throngh the medium of advertising, it must be trustworthy to hold the confidence of the ublic. In thousands of homes this remedy 18 the main reliance of parents in attacks of croup.
