SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM SENATE PASSES - THE SALARY BILL Will Draw Two Years’ Pay Dur- ing the Session. BEFORE HALF OF IT IS DUE Legislators Will Draw Their Entire Salary Unless the Governor Vetoes the Measure—Opposition to Cass Lake Normal School Makes Passage of That Measure in the House Doubt- ful-—Naturopathic Bill Killed. St. Paul, March 31.—With only nine- teen votes against it, the Brady bill, authorizing the members of the legis- lature to draw their two years' salary during the legislative session, was passed by the senate. This means that, unless the governor vetoes the bill, the members will draw in a few weeks the $500 they ctherwise would have drawn next year. It was the bill which was killed in committee of the whole three weeks ago. Since that time scarcely a sen- ate bill has been considered by the house and the senators were whipped into line and thirty-seven of them voted for the bill. The bill was exposed on the floor of the senate three weeks ago, when it was charged that its passage would mean the breaking of faith with tho people and a breaking of the contract implied when the members accepted the office. The position pays $500 a year, payable in two installments at the first of each year. T.J. Brady of St. Paul wanted his pay for the sec- ond year at the end of the s¢ssion and ‘the majority of the house members wanted the same. The bill will permit the payment of the total salary by the end of the legislative session, or one year before one-half is due under the law under which the members were elected. The bill has now passed both branches of the legislature and only the governor’s veto stands in the way of its becoming law. Cass Lake Normal School Bill. The Cass Lake normal school bill, introduced by Senator Gunn and passed in the senate, was made a spe- cial order in the house for next Fri- day at 2 p. m., when the bill will come up for its final passage or defeat. The so-called general bill, which allowed the normal school board to locate the school, was killed some time ago. The vote on the bill is expected to be very close. On a motion last week to postpone the bill indefinitely there were 57 yeas and 59 nays. It is be- lieved that some of those who voted against the killing of the bill then will not vote for the bill on its final pass- age, but on the other hand, some of the absentees may be present and help to pass it. The members from the northwest- ern part of the state and those who were on the so-called junket which visited the sites are in the majority opposed to the Cass Lake bill. The naturopathic examiners’ bill which is the name the chiropractic bill has used during this session, saw its finish when it came to a vote in the house. The vote was 83 to 24 against the bill. The bill passed hoth houses four years ago and was vetoed by the gov- ernor. Two years ago it passed the senate and was killed in the house, and this year the bill was killed in the hecuse. House Disapproves of Custom. By voting down the bills to pay O. F. Olson of Douglas county and Will- fam Foreman of Wabasha county their expenses in the contests they started to get into the legislature, the house puts its disapproval on the long-con- tinued practice of paying the bills of candidates who start contests when they are defeated by a close vote. The housc passed the bill of E. E. Lobeck of Douglas county and James Carley of Wahasha, the two mewbers who were elected and who successfully de- . fended themselves in their contests. There was wide difference of opin- fon as to the merits of the semi- monthly salary bill in the senate and it was killed, 24 to 30. The bill had already passed the louse and was emended, but the senate thought that once a month was enough for em- ployes to be paid. The bill was aimed at the railroads and was requested by a large number of employes. Thc house passed Carl Wallace’s bill prohibiting slot machines. was no debate or opposition to the bill, The senate passed the bill creating a new banking department. The work of examination of banks is taken - from the public examiner, and the gov- ernor is to appoint a new official with a deputy for each congressional dis- trict. “Examination of banks is to be made twice a year. This bill must pass the house, With one vote to spare the Mork bill, prohibiting young boys in billiard and pool halls, was passed by the sen- ate. The age limit is eighteen, unless the boy is a pupil in school, in which cage he cannot legally play pool nor billiards in public until he reaches his majority. With Ray Farrington of Ortonville, the orly voluble champion of the cigarette, the house anti-cigarette bill was recommended for passage by the senate lu committee of the whole. e e DOINGS AMONG BEMIDJI'S GOUNTRY NEIGHBORS Live Correspondents of the Pioneer Write the News from Their - Localities.

ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED Proposed Commission Would Be of Great Help to the Executive in the "Application of the Maximum and Minimum Principle of the Payne Bill and in Negotiating Foreign Trade Agreements. Washington, April 1.—President Taft has declared himself in favor of a tariff bureau to be created at this session of congress. He believes that such a bureau would be of great as- sistance to him in the application of the maximum and minimum principle of the Payne bill in the negotiation of foreign trade agreements, as well as in furnishing detailed information to congress and to the White House on various tariff questions as they arise. The president’s announcement was made to the executive committee of the committee of 100 created by the national tariff convention recently held in Indianapolis. This committee, consisting of H. E. Miles, chairman; Henry R. Towne of New York and D. A. Tompkins of Charlotte, N. C., called at the White House to lay before the president the views of the tariff convention and to recommend a permanent tariff com- mission. The members of the execu- tive committee agree with the presi- dent that it is necessary for congress to provide a commission or bureau for the aid of the executive and of the legislative departments of the govern- ment and they will use their influence as far as possible to secure legislation {on the-subject at this session of con- gress. MANY SCHEDULES DISCUSSED Numerous Speeches on the Tariff in the House. Washington, April 1. — Without any preliminaries the house resumed consideration of the tariff bill. Mr. Morgan (Mo.) urged protection for the zinc industry. Quoting from a speech by President Taft that the primary purpose of a tariff was that more revenue may be provided for the government Mr. Brantley (Ga.) declared this to be true Democratic doctrine. The pri- mary purpose of the Payne bill, he contended, was not revenue, but the maintenance of the true Republican theory of protection. Mr. Brantley laid the present deficit at the door of what he charged was Republican ex- travagance. The countervailing duty on coffee ‘was opposed by Mr. Douglass of Ohio, since, he said, Brazll, at which coun- try it was directed, would be unable ‘without Impairing her finances to re- move her export duty on the product. Standing behind a table loaded down with all sorts of exhibits showing the various stages of making wood pulp and paper Mr. Mann of Illinois dis- cussed the recommendation of the pulp and paper committee, of which he was chairman, for a reduction of the duty on wood pulp and paper and which recommendation the ways and means committes adopted. Arraigns Paper Companies. Mr. Rothermel of Pennsylvania, in a brief but vigorous speech favoring reduction on wood pulp and print pa- per, severely arraigned the Gould Pa- per company and the Continental Pa- per Bag company. He quoted from testimony of representatives of these companies under oath before the Mann commission, in which it was stated they knew of no agreement or understanding among them fixing prices and yet, he said, both com- panies pleaded guilty to indictments charging them with unlawful combina- tlon in restraint of trade during the period beginning Sept. 19, 1906, and paid fines of $2,000 each. Mr. Rother- mel maintained that so long as the fines were so small it would result in placing a premium on wrongdoing and also be considered a good invest- ment on the part of the lawbreakers. The bill as a whole was attacked by Mr. Sulzer of New York. He said that the measure would afford no re- llef to the overburdened taxpayers or any hope to the oppressed consumers of the land. NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH Women and Children, With Clothes Ablaze, Go Down Ladder. Cass Lake, Minn, April 1.—Fire eompletely destroyed the residence of Henry Dedericks and were it not for the heady work of Dedericks his en- tire family would have been burned to death. He took his wife and three children down a ladder to safety, but not until the flames reached them. The nightgowns of all were burning and the eyelids of one child were burned. Ten Per Cent Wage Reduction. Pittsburg, April 1.—Notice of a 10 per cent reduction in the wages of employes of W. P. Snyder & Co., one of the largest manufacturers of iron and coke in the Pittsburg district, is announced. According to an official of the company the reduction will be ®eneral. MAHMOUT TO MEET ROGERS Big American. and Hefty Bulgarian Ready to Grapple. Cleveland, April 1.—Two of the world’'s best and biggest wrestlers will meet tonight in this city. They are Yussiff Mahmout, the Bulgarian, who has been taking falls out of some of the best American grapplers, and Joe Rogers, the American, whom Frank Gotch, champion of the world, failed to defeat in a handicap match, Rogers lost to Hackenschmidt in Eu [fli’E 24 ?E@B]EEE&JI Rogers says he galned a clean rau from Mahmout in practice in a New York gymnasium and has been chas: ing the Bulgarian for some time.

New York, April 1.—The follow ing statement was given out in behalf of the anthracite coal operators: “At the request of Mr. Thomas L. Lewis, who headed the committee of anthracite mine workers at the recent conference with the operators in Phil- edelphia, the operators have agreed to continue the present agreement in force on and after April 1, pending further conferences. “The communication from Mr. Lewis came in the form of a letter to each member of the operators’ committee of seven.

HOME GURE FOR EGZEMA 0il of Wintergreen, Thymol, Glycerine, Etc., Used as a Simple Wash. It really seems strange that ‘so many people suffer year in and year out with eczema, when it is now no longer a secret that oil of wintergreen mixed with thymol, glycerine, etc., makes a wash that is bound to cure. Old, obstinate cases, it is true, cannot be cured in a few days, but there is absolutely no sufferer from eczema who ever used this simple wash and did not find immediately that wouderfully soothing, calm, cool sensation that comes when the itch] allayed. There is no need of experiment—the patient knows at once. Instead of trying to compound the oil of wintergreen, thymol, glycerine, etc., in the right pro- portions ourselves we are using a prescription- which is universally found the most effective. It is known as the D. D. D. Prescrip- tioy, or Oil of. Wintergreen Com- pound. Itis made by the D, D. D, Co. of Chicago, and our long experience with this remedy has given us great confidence in its merits,. Barkers Drug Store. 39% @40c. Pork—May, $17.70; July, | §17.72%; Sept, $17.72%.

SUPPOSED TO BE ABROAD - Operated Extensively in Mexican Bo nanza Land Schemes in Which More Than $1,000,000 Was Invested by Persons Attracted by Glittering Ad: vertisements—Was an- Indlana Min: ister Before Entering Politics. Indianapolis, April 1.—William D. Owen, whose arrest at Augusta, Ga., on a charge of swindling is reported, operated in Mexican bonanza land schemes in which more than $1,000,000 was invested in small parcels of stocks, taken mostly by persons at: tracted by glittering full page adver tisements in newspapers. The most prominent of the companies which Owen headed were the Ubere Planta: tion companies of Indiana and Boston. Four "years ago these companies crashed. The government issued a fraud order against them charging Owen and F. E. Borges with heading gigantic swindles. Borges was ar rested. Owen was in Europe and it has been supposed here that he had not returned to this country. * Owen and Borges both were Logans- port, Ind., men. Owen was a Chris- tian ministal: His oratorical ability Introduced him to the political arena and in 1895 he was elected to con: gress from the Tenth district of In- diana. He served in three sessions ot congress. Later he was appointed commissioner of immigration. Return. ing to Indiana he was elected secre- tary of state, in which office he served from 1895 to 1899. Suffragettes Go to Jail. London, April 1.—The proceed- ings in the Bow street police court in connection with the raid on the house of commons of a band of twenty-seven women suffragists followed the cus- tomary lines. All the eleven women arrested elected to gc to Holloway jail for periods of from one to three months rather than to find sureties for their good behavior. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constituilonal remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin- ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflam- mation can be taken out and this tube re- stored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mncous surfaces We will glve One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deatness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Hall's Ca%arrh Oure, Send for circulars, free.
