4 TURNER ART EXHIBIT IS AT GENTRAL SGHOOL Béauliful Pictures on Exhibition.—Pu- pils’ Drawing Work Being Displayed. —Entertainment Tonight. The Horace K. Turner Art Ex- hibit, comprising a collection of over 200 copies of famous paintings, is being given today .and tomorrow in the Central school building. The pictures are- beautiful and are worth going a long distance to see.’ The collection is certainly one of the best ever displayed by a travel- ing company and is composed of half-tones, photographs and hand- painted photogravures. There is not a great artist in ancient, medie- val or modern times whose works are not represented in this excellent assortment. Another, and by no means small, feature of the exhibition at Central school is the display by Miss Donaldson of the work in drawing of all of the pupils in the grades. Some of the pupils certainly display talent and imagination in their sketches. Those who have charge of the ex- hibit are selling small catalogues, at ten cents each, containing small re- productions of the 200 pictures and a short biographical sketch of the life of each of the famous artists. The Turner company is very liber- al in their business agreements with the school. All of the money taken in by the sale of tickets, twenty-five per cent of the proceeds of the sale of catalogues and twenty- five percent of the receipts of out- side orders is given to the school for the purpose of buying pictures, the only restriction being that the pictures shall be purchased from this company. Under the direction of Miss the | Hanson, the instructor in music, 4n excellent musical program of songs by the pupils. has been prepared for this evening. The entertainment will commence at 7:45 o’clock. An 0ld Fashioned Southern Supper. The men of the Presbyterian church will serve on Friday Eve. Apr. 2 at the Rink, a supper that will please all.

ANTI-TRADING STAMP BILL Passes the House With Two Votes Against It NOT ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED Measure Requires the Stamps to Have Their Value Printed on’ Their Face Senate Passes the Putna’m Bill Ex- tending Aid to County High Schools, Graded, Semi-Graded and Consoli- dated Schools That Teach Agricul- ture. St. Paul, April 1.—The anti-trading stamp bill, already passed in the sen- ate, passed the house by a vote of 105 to 2. The bill will go into effect as soon as it is signed by the governor. This will be done within a couple of days. The bill does not absolutely prohibit giving trading stamps, but requires the stamps to have their value printed on their face, and makes unlawful the present method of compelling the wo- men to lick a whole book full of stamps before they get any presents. The bill had to be drawn that way to meke it constitutional, the supporters of the measure said, but they claim that it will put the concerns who have been drawing millions from the state under this scheme out of business any- way. The supporters of the bill said that the stamp concerns hold up the mer- chants for big sums, several times as much as the value of the presents, which they give the publie. After the greatest amount of jockey- ing on a bill this session the senate after a long debate passed the Putnam bill, extending aid to county high school, graded, semi-graded and con- solidated schools, which teach agricul- ture and domestic science. The bill carries an appropration of $50,000 for the next two years, enough for ten schools each year. No school is to get more than $2,500, and the state is to pay two thirds of the cost of in- stalling and operating the agricul- tural department. Must Yet Pass Finance Committee. The bill must yet pass the finance committee, but the overwhelming ma- jority in the senate indicates that it will be favorably acted upon by the committee. The passage of this measure com- mits the senate to a county schente of agricultural education. One school in each county’is to be equipped, to- gether with a five-acre tract for the cultivation of farm products. After adopting a motion to adjourn this evening #ntil Monday morning the senate accepted the invitation of the Duluth Commercial club and other bodies to visit the iron range ‘before taking action on the tonnage tax. The acceptance of the invitation was pre- ceded by the killing of a resolution to go at the expense of the state. Frank Clague of Lamberton first raised the question of going to the SRLise) 6 range at thé expense of the commer- clal'clubs of that part of the country, gnd said that he and others could not \make the trip under those conditions. The resolution was then formulated by Senator Works of Mankato to g0 at the expense of the state. He urged that the trip would give the senators valuable information on an important question, but that each senator should go without putting himself under ob-. ligations to the people of the mnorth who will be taxed more heavily if the tonnage tax passes. The motion for the state to pay the expenses received 28 votes with 19 against, 32 being necessary. G. H. Sullivan of Stillwater then made the motion that, as the senate h#d already decided to adjourn, that it accept the invitation. This motion required but a majority and secured 28 votes to 14 against. Weight Bill Is Killed. Senator Pauly's bill compelling veg- etables, eggs and other products to be sold by weight instead of measure or count, saw its finish in the house when they adopted the reporf of the committee on agriculture, which rec- ommended that the. bill be indefinite- ly. postponed. It is being talked about the house corridors that the reason the so-called Leavett bill did not get more votes was that it had been tipped off to the members that if they voted for this bill, the governor might veto Tom Brady’s bill which allows legislative members to draw next year's.pay this year. Anyway, the bill did not pass. L. O. Thorpe’s bill cutting the gov- ernor’s salary to $5,000, the figure at which it was when the present sena- tors entered the bedy, was reported for passage by the finance committee. Tt had been with the committee only @ day. The passage of this bill will enable present senators to 'run for governor next year. The bill introduced by J. T. John- son of Fergus Falls limiting the salary of the secretary of state fair board to $3,600 was reported by the committee on compensation of public officials with an amendment cutting the limit to $2,500. This would be just half of what he gets now, although lLe would still con- tinue to have the privileges he now has, free house, light, heat and keep of two cows and a-team. = WILL END DAYS IN ASYLUM Turf Plunger Blind Broken In Health, Oakland, Cal, April 2.—Sightless, broken in health and with his mind unhinged Edward W. Purser, whose fame as a plunger rang through all turfdom gome twelve years ago and whose daring wagers and unfailing luck made his name a byword wher- Famous and -| ever fast horses are matched In the sport of kings, lies in the Emergency hospital with the certalnty before him of ending his days in a state asylum for the insane. Fourteen years ago Purser first tame to this coast, bringing with him a string of racers. Among them was the famous “breadwinner,” Buckwa. At that time Purser was associated with Riley Grannan, who died at Raw- hide, Nev., something over a year ago. Grannan hit the down grade that year, never to regain his place in the sport- ing world, but Purser found luck al- ways at his elbow for several years and added to his fortune. Gradually ill health overcame him, however, and then his luck deserted him and he drifted steadily along the downward course.

Dingolfing, Germany, April 2—The Zeppelin airship landed safely near here after having been eleven hours in the air. Part of this time the circumstances of the journey were perilous. The rear motor refused to work and the forward motor alone could not de- velop sufficient strength to drive the airship against the wind. Several anxious hours were spent by the aeronauts before an opportu- ity offered to make a safe landing. The airship left Friedrichshafen early in the morning and five hours later appeared in the air over the out- skirts of Munich. A distance of 111 miles was covered in five hours. The count left Friedrichshafen with the intention of trying to sall from there to Munich and back. It was his in- tention to land at Munich in the pres- ence of the prince regent and the en- tire garrison of Munich, but owing to & squally and Increasing wind the maneuver was impossible. The at- tempt was made over the parade grounds outside the city, but as soon a8 it was seen to be impossible the ship was lifted again into the air. The count then trled to return to Munich, but by this time the wind wn 80 strong that he could make no heddway against it. When the seri- ousness of the situation was reglized the troops were ordered out to follow the alrship and be prepared to render any assistance possible. The count endeavored to overcome the resistance of the wind by rising to a greater altitude, but this maneu- ver apparently was not successful, for the balloon was driven rapidly from the eight of the people of Munich in a northeasterly direction. A few hours later it landed near this city. AFFECTS SIX THOUSAND MEN Jones & Laughlin Steel Company Cuts Wages. Pittsburg, April 2—The wage read- justment announced by the Jones & Laughlin Steel company, limited, the largest independent manufacturers in the country, has gone into effect. Vari- ous reports that the reduction amount- ed to 10 per cent and would affect 18,000 men were investigated. Accord- ing to W. L. Jones, goneral manager of the company, the reports are not correct. “The readjustment results on ac- count of the depression in business, due to the fear of a reduction in the tariff,” said Mr. Jones. “It has be- gome necessary to cut down expenses in every direction. The cut is not a horizontal one. Whether it would average 10 per cent is hard to say. However, about 6,000 men are af- fected.” STRIKE IN WESTERN CANADA Mine Workers Suspend Operations Pending New Agreement. Winnipeg, April 2—Altheugh the ors in several camps ¥Yoted favor- ably to accept the new schegdule pro- pésed by operators of 6di fnes in ‘Western Oanada Preaulfi Bherman has issued an order ci on the members of the United Mine Workers of America to suspend work in dis- trict 18 until a new arrangement has been made. This includes all collier- ies In Southern Alberta and British Olumbia, excepting those of the Crows Nest Pass Coal company, where a separate agreement was ar- .| rived at satisfactory to the men. This order followed a conference of all offl- cers at McLeod and sends thousands of men into idleness. More Suffragettes Go to Jall. London, April 2—Nine of the mili- tant fémale suffragettes who were ar- rested while attempting to force an entrance into the house of commons were arraigned in the Bow street po- Hee court and sent by the magistrate to join their sisters in Holloway jail for one month. All refused to give surety for their good behavior. Pet Dog Saves Five Lives. Detroit, Mich., April 2.—A pet dog savey the lives of five members of the family of Glenn Mott in Wyan- dotte, a suburb. Mrs. Mott was awak- ened by the dog tugging at the bed clothes and found the house in flames. The occupants had just time to es- cape through a window. Crawford’s Condition Improved. Sorrento, April 2—The doctor in at- tendance on F. Marion Crawford, the novelist, said his patient was better and that he hoped the crisis had passed. Mr. Crawford slept for five or six hours, after which the €ever diminished and the. intelligence was clearer. LOSS OF HALF ‘A MILLION Little Cuban Town Practically De- stroyed by Fire. Santiago, Cuba, April 2—The little %wn of La Maya, twenty miles north of this city, was practically destroyed by fire. So far as is known no lives were lost. The loss s placed at over $600,000. The cause of the fire is un- known. - Firemen and englnes were sent ‘out from here on a special train, but. their efforts to check the flames wne unavailing. No “Question Supesionty.
