FOR A NEW CONSTITUTION People of the State Will Have a Chance to Vote Upon Question of Having a Constitutional Convention If a Bill Introduced by Kneeland of Minneapolis Should Pass—To Fur nish Dynamite to Settlers. St. Paul, Feb. 2—The people of the mtate will have a chance at the next election to vote upon the question of having a constiutional convention if a bill introduced at the session of the |house by Thomas Kneeland of Min- |neapolis should pass. Should the peo- ple vote for such a convention, the next legislature is under obligation to pass legislation for the calling of the convention, the manner of select- |ing delegates, the time for its opening and other details. { T.J. Brady of St. Paul introduced a 'bill that was short, but sweet to many iof the members, if they only dared vote for it. It repeals the anti-pass law passed by the 1907 legislature. The bunch of bills introduced at the night session included one by J. J. Opsahl of Bemidji appropriating $100,- 000 to buy dynamite to be given to the |Bettlers on the cut-over timber lands iin the northern part of the state to be lused by them in blasting the stumps loff their farms. | J. E. Selb of St. Paul introduced a ibill which will give to the state con- |siderable money, which now goes to |banks by default. When a person dies 'without any heirs his property reverts to the state, under the law, and this |actually happens in the case of real .estate, but no one knows where the 'deceased had his personal property, |and the party having possession of it sometimes keeps it. Selb’s bill re- iquires banks to publish annually a statement of all deposits which have remained unclaimed for seven years. Minerals in Meandered Lake Beds. 5. H. Johnson of Minneapolis and 0. M. Bendixen of Morgan, authors of |separate bills declaring the state the 'owner of all minerals in meandered ilake beds, joins in a new bill to the |same purpose, providing in addition ithat applications for leases for such ilands mow pending shall not be recog- nized, and also a provision that the mflncip&! of the funds derived from ‘these minerals shall remain untouched but the interest shall go to the road and bridge fund. The batch of bills included one by Mr. Bendixen proposing a constitu- itional amendment allowing the state buy a site and erect terminal ele- ators; a bill by T. J. Brady of St. |l’mll prohibiting clgarettes; a bill by (B C. Spooner of Morris accepting om the United States the Indlan school at Morris, and one by J. J. Opsahl of Bemidji requiring the treas- ‘urers of indepondent school districts ‘eo publish in some newspaper an {temized account of their receipts and ‘expenses. It the charge of ex-Labor Commis- |sloner W. H. Willlams Is true that the Mabor department is used principally for political purposes, that question 'ought to be investigated and things remedied, in the opinion of J. C. Len- non of Minneapolis. | #He introduced a resolution in the thouse for a committee of five to in- vestigate the charges, not only as to kheir previous existence but also as to whether any changes should be made and to report to the house such llegislation as would remedy the trou- f le, it there is any. Investigation Desired. ‘A resolution stating that some mine lowners were mot paying their just itaxes and asking for an investigation a8 introduced in the house by Ker- Conley of Wabasha and lald over ‘upon notice of debate by C. A. Cong- don of Duluth, The house committee which has ‘been appointed to investigate the beef trust will begin its work today and subpoenas have been issued for L. W. Btock and Louis Becker of South St. Paul, H. H. Brackett of Minneapolis ind Percy Nash, president of the St. aul Retail Butchers’ association, to appear at the hearing. ‘Why should the state make it easy for its citizens to break the laws by ‘permitting the unrestricted sale of life destroying englnes? . 'This is a qiestion which Senator S. 'A. Nelson of Lanesboro has been re- [olving in his mind and he will intro- duce & bill regulating the sale of re- volvers in this state. ! “Bvery time I pick up a paper,” sald Mr. Nelson, “I see an account of the murder or suicide of some one with a revolver. The other day a man went home and took out the revolver he had kept for a dozen years and killed his wite. “I have never carried a revolver and I ‘don’t see why people generally sphould do so. We have good police forces to enforce the laws and see that people are not held up and ‘robbed. “My bill provides that the dealer must know that the person who wants to buy a gun is of good character, and 1f he is not known personally the pur- chaser must set some one to veuch tor him* SPY AT HEAD OF TERRORISTS Charge Made in Duma Against Rus- sian Government. St. Petersburg, Feb. 3.—The duma has resumed its session after the holi- days and was marked by interpella- tions from the Constitutional Demo- crats and the Soclalists addressed to the minister of the Interior and deal- ing with the cases of Azef and Lopu- kine. Azef, who has been known as the head of the fighting Russian So- cialists, recently was declared to be in reality a government spy and Lopu- kine, formerly director of police in the department of the ministry of the interior, was arrested a few days ago on a charge of high treason in connec- tion with the Azef revelations. The Socialists in their interpella- tions cite documents to prove that Azef, in his double role, participated in all the important terrorist acts com- mitted since 1902. Continuing the in- terpellation asks the minister of the interfor whether he knew that Azef, as a police agent, organized the fight- ing branch of the Socialists and par- ticipated in these plots and whether the relations between Azef and Rach- koffsky were not an isolated fact, but part of a systematic policy of provoca- tion and, if so, what measures he pro- posed to take to punish Azef, Rach- koffsky and the other police officers engaged in this criminal provocation and to protect citizens from the work of the secret police. BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR AGAIN CONSIDERED Senate Agrees to Vote on Rein- statement Bill Feb. 23, ‘Washington, Feb. 3.—Feb. 23 was agreed on by the secnate as the time for a vote on the Aldrich substitute bill for the appointment of a court of inquiry to inquire into the qualifica- tions of the discharged soldiers of the Twenty-fifth regiment charged with having “shot up” Brownsville, Tex. This agreement was preceded by an extended discussion, during which Senator Taliaferro of Florida suggested that he had heard that the war department had gathered addi- tional testimony bearing on the guilt of the negro soldiers and he thought in view of this report the agreement on a time to vote should be post- poned. Senator Foraker declared that if such information existed it was only an additional reason for the creation of a court of inquiry to hear it. Senator McLaurin preferred fixing March 1 and Mr. Foraker suggested Feb. 15 for the vote. The 23d inst was decided on as a compromise be tween these views.

RECENTLY GIVEN DIVORCE Court Granted Annulment on the Ground That the Couple Had Never Lived Together—Affair Brought to | Light by Young Woman Eloping to Europe In 1907 With Samuel R. * Clarkson, a Resident of London. Philadelphia, Feb. 3.—Miss Helen M. Maloney of this city and Herbert Osborn of New York were married by Rev. Stephen M. Lyons at St. Cath- erine’s Roman Catholic church, Spring Lake, N. J.,, where Martin Maloney, father of the bride, has a summer home. 3 The marriage of Miss Maloney and Mr. Osborn marks the culmination of a chapter of what may- properly be termed an international romance. It MISS HELEN EUGENIE MALONEY. began in October, 1907, when the so- cial world was startled by the an- nouncement that Helen Maloney had eloped from her father’s palatial sum- mer home at Spring Lake, N. J., with Samuel R. Clarkson of London, who had been a guest at the home of Mr. Maloney, who is one of the wealthiest men of this city and prominent so- cially. Mr. Clarkson occupied a good social position in London and it was understood that he was a suitor for Miss Maloney’s hand. Brought Home Fror;| Europe. For a time after the elopement the young couple were missing, but Mr. Maloney finally located them in Eu- rope and brought his daughter back home. In the meantime the discovery was made that Miss Maloney had gone through a marriage ceremony with Arthur Herbert Osborn of New York, who was then a student at Princeton university. The ceremony uniting Miss Maloney and Mr. Osborn was performed by Justice of the Peace Boyd at Mamaroneck, N. Y., on Dec. 28, 1905. Miss Maloney took the name of Helen Hugenie of Pittsburg | and Mr. Osborn used the name of Herbert Ogden of Pittsburg. All of this made a newspaper sen- sation when it became known, but the Maloney family maintained silence. .It was known, however, that Mr. Ma- loney, who had been highly honored by Pope Leo XIII, who conferred upon him the title of marquis, took up the question of the annulment of the marriage both at Rome and at the archdiocese of the Catholic church in this city. Finally the matter was taken to the New York courts, where action was started looking to the annulment of Miss Maloney’s marriage to Osborn. The annulment was granted on the ground that they had never lived to- gether. in her own behalf, Mr. Osborn putting: up only a passive defense. Miss Ma loney testified that she never consid- ered that the marriage joined her and, Mr. Osborn together as man and wife and that she went through the cere- mony as a precautionary measure ta save herself from the attentions of titled forelgners who were regarded favorably by Miss Maloney’s parents.

Loss of appetite or stom- ach distress after’ eating indicate indigestion or dyspepsia. Over-eat. ing is a habit very dangerous to a person’s good general health, and insatiable appetite is a sure symptom of diabetes. It is not what you eat but what you digest and assimilate that does you good. Some of the strongest, heaviest and healthiest persons are moderate earers. There is nothing that will create sickness or cause more trouble than a disordered stomach, and many people daily contract serious mala- dies simply through disregard or abuse of the stomach. We urge everyone in Bemidji who is suffering from any stomach de- rangement, indigestion or dyspepsia, whether acute or chronic, to try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, with the i| distinct understanding that we will refund their money without question or formality, if after reasonable use of this medicine, they are not per- fectly satisfied with the results. We recommend them to our customers every day, and have yet to hear of anyone who has not been benefitted by them. We honestly believe them to be without equal. They are made from the prescription of a physician who devoted all his time to the study and treatment of stomach troubles. They give very prompt relief, neutralize the gastric juices, strengthen the digestive organs, create good digestion and assimila- tion, naturally regulate the bowels, promote perfect nutrition, and and create a permanent cure of all un- healthy symptoms. We urge you to try a 25c box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which gives 15 days treatment. At the end of that time, your money will be returned to you if you are not satis- fied. Of course, in chronic cases length of “treatment varies. For such cases, we have two larger sizes, which sell for 50c and $1.00. Bark- er’s Drug Store.
