The Grand Rapids Herald Re- view is authority for the statement that Senator Dan Gunn has plans to secure an agricultural school for Grand Rapids, to be operated in connection with the Northeast Ex- perimental Farm, and that he will soon introduce a bill in the senate providing for the school. P. H. McGarry, representative in the same district, is now making a strenuous fight for the location of a new normal school at Cass Lake, and announces that he will soon ask for an appropriation for the state sanitarium at Walker. And the Walker Pilot of last week tells thusly of a movement that is on foot to establish an agricultural school at Pine River, in Gunn’s and McGarry’s district. “W. H. Hallet of Pequot was down last week with pockets bulging out withjbills which he wished introduced at this session. One was for an agri- at Pine River. Representative Doyle this week in- troduced a bill for such an institution cultural school at Foley, in his district. “The idea of establishing county is’ taking well the people throughout the state; and the day may not be in the far distance when each county may look for state aid in this re- Pine River would afford a institution of agricultural schools with spect, good location for an this sort.” Our neighbors over to the east are certainly not at all backward in seeking favors from the state; and a new expression we certainly believe that “legislative hoggery” would be ap- if it is necessary to coin plicable in this case. Go it, gentlemen; the dead one over east of us (Cass Lake) certainly needs your talented assistance in order to eke out an assistance. GUARDING INDIAN LANDS Orders Affecting White Earth Reser- vation in Minnesota. Wachington, - == 22 —The Indian office has placed a heavy lid on the ‘White Earth reservation in Minne- sota. Under the provision of what is known as Senator Clapp’s amendment sll mixed blood allottees are entitled Yo deeds to their lands, but only a few are getting them, owing to the allegations which have been flled set- ting forth that speculators and lum- bermen are getting hold of all the timber lands just as soon as a mixe blood becomes legally possessed of it. Hence an order has been sent to ‘Agent Howard at White Earth to look carefully into all applications of the mixed bloods. A series of .questions has been sent to Agent Howard, which he is to propound to all ap- plicants for fee simple deeds. The Indian department wants to know all about the allottee, whether aale or female, how old, what sort of babits, what he or she proposes to do with the allotted lands to be deeded, Wwhether or not speculators have im- portuned the allottee and if so what have they offered fer the allotments, ete.

St. Paul, Jam 29.—Public utilities of all kinds except street railways are placed under the supervision of the state railroad commission in a public utilities bill introduced in the house by Carl Wallace of Minneapolis, J. H. Dorsey of Glencoe and W. H. Put- nam of Red Wing, the committee which went to Wisconsin a week ago to investigate the workings of the pub- lic utilities law in that state. The committee preceded the introduction of the bill by a report stating some of the advantages of the Wisconsin method, which, Instead of creating a new commission, as New York and other states have dome, placed all these powers under the existing rail- road commission. The Wisconsin hill was passed two years ago and the Minnesota bill is copied very closely after it. Street railways were placed under the super- vision of the railroad commission when it was created in that state so the bill in that state did not need te mention them and the principal rea- son why the committee did not put them into their bill was that there is already a bill in the house placing them under the railroad commission. All other public utilities, including telephone lines, gas and electric plants, waterworks and heating plants are placed under the supervision of the commission, whether owned by corporations or by the municipalities. The commission is given power to regulate rates and service and in the case of municipally owned plants their principal work will be that of giving expert advice rogarding the manage- ment of the plants. Saving and !ncreased Efficiency. In the report the committee sald that the Wisconsin commission told them that with the extra help provid- ed they were able to handle the extra work. The relations between the com- mission, state departments and the university were cordial and there was a big saving and increased effi- clency bezause the technical depart- ments of the state unlversity are con- sulted and give additional service. The Wisconsin commission received 1,600 complaints during its first year and 95 por cont uf these were adjust- ed by correspondence. The act also provides a means by which municipalities can acquire and operate existing plants at a fair valua- tion. Governor Johnson sent to the sen- ate a speclal message bearing on em- ployers’ lability and workingmen'’s compensation. He refers to the fact that he had touched upon the ‘“‘com- mon law doctrine as to the nonliabili- ty of the master to the servant for in- jurles occurring through the negli- gence of a fellow servant,” in his bi- ennial message, but that since then the matter has been thoroughly in- vestigated by employers, the labor commissioner and representatives of labor. The purpose of their meetings has been to secure legislation for a more adequate ‘adjustment in the set- tlement of personal cases. Two New Laws Desired. Along with the message was sent a petition for the enactment of two laws, one providing for the appoint- ment of a conrmission of three to in- vestigate the question, and the other requiring all accidents to be reported to the commissioner of labor by em- ployes and those who give ald to the injured, as policemen, firemen and doctors. If the senate joins the house by a arge enough majority, the public ex- aminer will not be patronage for the governor after the present term. The committee of the whole recommend- ed W. A. Nolan's bill to pass, making the office elective. A water supply commission is pro- vided in a bill introduced in the house by Oscar Christensen of St. Paul. It provides for three commissioners to be appointed by the state auditor who shall Investigate the whole subject of water power in the state and devise a general plan by which all. this wa- ter power may be developed and utilized under state ownership and control. The memorlal services for Senator Patrick Fitzpatrick of Winona in the senate called forth the best display of oratory which has been heard in that body for several years. Senator Fitz- patrick died during the summer. Minnesota’s fair daughters had their day in court when fully 100 woman suffragists crowded the.rooms of the Joint senate and house committee on elections in the hearing granted them on Senator Ole O. Sageng’s universal suffrage measure. After the women had concluded their arguments they were roundly ap- plauded by the members of the com- mittee, who, however, made no com- ment as to whether or not the bill would be favorably reported back to the legislature, PERISHED IN ITALIAN QUAKE Bodies of Consul Cheney and Wife " Landed at New York. |- New York, (4. 1.0.—Solemn honors were paid by a throng of citizens and' representatives of the Italian societies who gathered at the Star line pler in Brooklyn to receive the bodles of the American consul, Arthur Cheney, and Mrs. Arthur Cheney, whose lives were lost in the earthquake at Mesaina. The bodies of the two American victims reached here on the steam- company, owners of the New York ‘World, to give certain testimony on the ground that he might incriminate himself. to appear before Justice Gould on Monday morning, when the matter will be threshed out. with the affairs of William Nelson Cromwell, was the only other witness of importance, his testimony being in corroboration of that given by Mr. Cromwell regarding the disposition of the $40,000,000 purchase money for the Panama canal franchise.

The caskets containing the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Cheney were lifted from the hold and carried by detachments of the ship sallors to two large cata- falques, which had been placed within a large enclosure outside of the pler. The railing of the enclosure was flag draped and after the last rough box had been removed large American flags covered the caskets, The caskets were placed in hearses and the start made for the ferry to Manhattan, where the funeral cortege was joined by other Italian societies and the march to the Grand Central station was taken up. The bodies were taken to New Haven for burial, REPUBLICAN LEADERS HOLD GONFERENGE Senate Opposes Legislation of General Character. ‘Washington, \\ 3. . J.—A conference was held between Senators Aldrich and Hale and Representative Watson, Republican whip of the house, look- ing to the arrangement of a pro- gramme for legislation for the re- mainder of the session. The senate leaders made it clear that they did not propose to enact any laws of a general character, as the appropriation bills will occupy prac- tically all of the remaining time. Mr. Watson said that the house ‘would pass the statehood bills for Ari- zona and New Mexico and possibly the Knox bill regulating shipments of intoxicating liquors into “dry” com- munities. 3 It was suggested by the senate leaders that if the latter measure should come over from the house the senate might amend it by adopting a more radical measure. Such a meas- ure is not desired by the house lead- ers and it is likely that the question of passing the Knox bill will be con- sidered fully before a decision fis reached. POWERS AGAIN URGE PEACE Turkey and Bulgaria Must Settle Their Differences. London, °) a. ! )—The Balkan situa- tion is again causing some anxiety at the European capitals. Bulgaria’s ac- tion in calling out her reserves is apparently explained by Turkey’s at- tempts to secure a rectification of the existing frontier as a condition for re- ducing her monetary demands from Bulgaria. Noting the danger of trou- ble between Turkey and Bulgaria the powers are again resorting to nego- tiations to bring about joint pressure in favor of a peaceful settlement. It is reported that Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secrotary, has sounded the powers on this subject and a St. Petersburg dispatch says somi-officially that Russla has already addressed a circular dispatch to all the signatories of the Berlin treaty. In this circular Russia proposes to make common representations to both Sofia and Constantinople against any change being made in the frontier line which would endanger European. peace and urging both governments to refrain from a military movement.

Taft Cables I nois Congressman. MESSAGE READ IN HOUSE Mr. Rainey Declares That Greater Service Would Be Rendered by Ad- dressing Denial to Panama General Assembly and Suggests That Pres- Ident-Elect Taft Withdraw His En- dorsements of William N. Cromwell. ‘Washington, Jan.":d.—As soon as he could get the floor Representative Rainey (Ill) read to the house the cablegram which ~he received from Charles P. Taft, in which the brother of the president-elect denied that he Bas ever had any business association with William Nelson Cromwell or any Interest at any time in the isthmus of Panama. In his message he asked Mr. Rainey to retract his statements regarding Mr. Taft which he made in his speech on Tuesday. = Mr. Rainey said that he had not the slightest desire to controvert the statement of Mr. Taft, but that it was not necessary for him to retract any- thing he said in hig speech, from which he quoted his reference to Mr. Taft. - = “The country will be glad to know that Mr. Taft’s name is being used there without his consent,” he said. “I desire:to say, in this connection, that Mr. Taft could render a great service and his denial “will be of greater value if he should without de- lay address a telegram to the general assembly of Panama denying his con- nection with the scheme I have de- scribed and repudiating Mr. Cromwell on the isthmus of Panama with as much enthusiasm as he has in his telegram to.me repudiating all con- nection with that gentleman. “I think 1 might also with propriety suggest that the president-elect can; at the present time, render no greater service to his country than he can render by withdrawing his frequent public endorsements of Willam Nel- son Cromwell. At the present time Mr. Cromwell and Mr. Farnham are proceeding under certificates of good character given them in the past.by the president-elect.” WMr. Rainey declared that as pres- ident Mr. Taft should remove both Mr. Cromwell and Mr. Farnham from their present official positions.

GERMS IN HER SYSTEM TP_HETRAGT Every meE;,M Read This; The number of diseases peculiar to women is such that we believe this space would hardly contain a mere mention of their names, and it is a fact that most of these diseases are of a catarrhal nature. A woman cannot be well if there is a trace of the catarrhal germs in her system. Some women think there is no help for them. We positively de- clare thisto be a mistaken idea. We are so sure of this that we offer to supply the medicine absolutely free of cost in every instance where it fails to give entire satisfaction or does not substantiate our claims. With this understanding, no woman should hesitate to believe our honesty of purpose, or hesitate to put our claim to a test. There is only one way to cure Catarrh. That way is through tke blood:. You may use all the snuffs, douches or like remedies for years without getting more than tem- porary. felief at best. Catarrh is caused by a germ. That germ is carried by the blood to the inner- most part of the system until the mucous membrane is broken, irrita- tion and inflammation " produced, and a flow of mucous results, and you can probably realize how silly it is to attempt to cure such an - ail- ment unless you take a medicine that follows the same course as the germ or parasite. g Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifically prepared from the prescription of an eminent physician who for thirty years made his specialty Catarrh, and with this medicine he averaged 98 per cent of cures where it was employed. No other remedy is so properly designed for the aliments of women. It will purify and en- rich the blood, stop mucous dis- charge, destroys all germ matter, remove all impurities from the sys- tem, soothe, heal and strengthen the mucous tissues, and bring about a good feeling of health and strength. We want you to try Rexall Mucu- Tone on our guarantee. If you are not benefitted, or for any reason not satisfled, simply tell us and we will hand back your money. ~ Rexall Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes, 50c and $1.00.
