S— $85000 IS ALLOWED FOR EXPLOITING MINNESOTA Omnibus Appropriation Bill Distributes Amount Through Different Channels than Was Originally Intended. Keen disappointment- was felt among the members of the Bemid ji Commercial club when they read the list of appropriations contained in the omnibus appropriation bill of | the legislature, wherein there ap- peared to have been scant atten- tion paid to the requests of the united commericial clubs of the state wherein an appropriation of $100,- 000 was asked for with which to! properly advertise . and ‘‘boost” Minnesota, through the medium of the State Immigration Bureau. However, it appears that a con- siderable sum has been appropriated, to be expended through several different channels, including the state auditor’s office, as appears by | the following, taken from the St. Paul Pioneer Press: “The immigration work for adver- tising the state has not fared so poorly at the hands of the legislature as the first glance at the omnibus bill would indicate, as there are several items in the bill for advertis- ing state lands besides the appro- priation for the immigration bureau. Friends of Chairman C. E. Stone of the committee on immigration are complimenting him for a good share of the work in securing appropria- Fre Demonstration! OF THE FAMOUS .

Schroeder tions for this purpose. “The appropriation for the burean of immigration is $5,000 to com- | plete the present fiscal year and $20,000 for each of the two follow- ing years. In addition to this there is $5,000 for each of two years for the state auditor to use in “adver- tising state land and the resources of the state” and $15,000 for each of two years to beused by the state auditor in “examining, appraising and selling state land.” These items make a.total of $85,000. “The commercial bodies started out to get $100,000 from the legis- lature for encouraging immigration, and they did not come far from getting what they wanted.” Court Progressing Slowly. Court convened at 9 o’clock this morning‘but none of the attorneys were ready with their cases so court was adjourned until 2 o’clock this afternoon. The case of Laura P, Scrutchin vs. City of Bemidji will be taken up some time during the present term | but the exact date has not been set vet. Damages in the sum of 350 were allowed Mrs. Scrutchin in this case a year ago but a new trial has been granted. Two other cases of interest which will be tried during the present ses- sion of the district court are Hatcher sion of 70,000 logs, and Brown vs. the Douglass Lumber company, a $9,000 damage suit brought by the plaintiff for injuries received in the company’s local mill about a year and a half ago. vs. Swedback, involving the conver- | Whitehead-Gunther Fight Called Off. Local fight followers, who ex- pected to go over to some town on the iron range or elsewhere in this section of the northwest to seea fight between “Waltah” Whitehead, the Duluth ¢olored heavyweight pugilist, and George Gunther, the colored fighter from Australia, who is known as the “Melbourne Kan- garoo,” are to be disappointed. The fight between these two able expornents of the padded mitts had been arranged to be pulled off at Eveleth tonight. The fighters and their backers demanded that the Eveleth club promoting the fight should post a guarantee of $100 that the fight would occur. Owing to the recent attitude of the governor in calling off the fight scheduled between Whitehead and Shreck, the Eveleth sports were chary of posting Ithe required $100, with the result | that the fight between the colored *‘genemen” is off, for the present. | Itis intimated that the men may | get together at Calumet, Mich, or at some near-by point in Wisconsin; and if they do, some Bemidji sports are going to be there, so they assert. The Duluth sports have no one to blame but themselves and the sporting writers on their two daily papers, for the calling off ot boxing bouts. There was so much “hotair” given out and faithfully reproduced in the Duluth papers that no one but a wooden man could help taking ‘cognizance of the fact that there was some small attempts at vio- lating the state law, over there on the range.

This measure was the only pri- vate road appropriation that passed the legislature this session, and too much credit cannot be given to Representatives J. J. Opsahl, of Bemidji, and E. R. Hinds, of Park Rapids and Senators A. D. Stephens, of Crookston, and- A. L, Hanson, of Ada, for the able manner in which they engineered the measure through the two houses. The commercial clubs of Bagley and Park Rapids are to haye charge of the appointments of superintend- ents to look after the construction of the road, and the people of the state can rest assured that every dollar of the money will be spent to the best advantage. Clearwater county will add $2,000 to this appropriation—through road funds of the commissioner districts and towns effected and through which the road will pass.

Patten, bull leader in wheat, has left this city personally to inspect the crop outlook, particularly as it bears on the amount of wheat which may be delivered to him on July contracts. Mr. Patten’s departure was made quletly. He is accompanied by an expert and it is believed” will inspect the winter wheat crop in Illinois and adjacent states. PROVIDES FOR AN INGONE TAX Cummins Introduces Amend- ment to Tariff Bill. IS ON GRADUATED BASIS Measure Exempts Incomes Below $5000 and Provides for a Tax Ranging from Two to Six Per Cent. Author Believes That Revenue to the Amount of Forty Million Dol- lars Annually Would Be Realized. ‘Washington, April 21.—Senator Cummins has introduced his amend- ment to the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, providing for a graduated income tax, which he believes would produce $40,- 000,000 revenue. Mr. Cummins point- ed out that it differs in some im- portant particulars from either the law of 1894 or the amendment offered by Senator Balley. It exempts in- comes below $5,000 and authorizes the deduction of that amount from every dutiable income. The rate provided for is as follows: Upon incomes not exceeding $10,000, 2 per cent; not exceeding $20,000, 2% per cent; not exceeding $40,000, 3 per cent; not exceeding $60,000, 3% per cent; not exceeding $80,000, 4 per cent; not exceeding $100,000, 5 per cent; on all income exceding $100,000, 6 per cent. Mr. Cummins believes that the graduated tax so provided for will produce a somewhat less revenue than a flat tax of 3 per cent. Only on Individual Incomes. The duty is to be levied only on individual incomes. It treats corpo- rations as mere instrumentalities for individual profit and the chief rea- son for not including corporations is that to put a tax on the incomes of corporations is to tax those who are stockholders of the corporations but whose total incomes would not reach $5,000, precisely as though they had dutiable incomes. This would be the result with a flat rate; but he points out that when the graduated tax is employed it is obvious that the indi- vidual income can alone be consid- ered; “otherwise,” he says “the man with the lowest dutiable income would, in so far as it is derived from a corporation, oftentimes bear the maximum rate levied on the highest incomes.” The amendment proposed by Mr. Cummins further provides that all corporations shall make annual re- ports, showing their gross and net earnings and the amounts paid as in- terest and dividends, and the persons to whom payments are made, and also the names of all officers or employes receiving $5,000 per year or more. this way the undivided profits of a corporation are ascertained and the distributed share of each stock is charged as a part of his income. CLIMB MOUNTAIN IN AUTOS Drivers to Guide Machines Up His- toric Lookout Mountain Chattanooga, Tenn., April 22.—Up the steep slope of Lookout moun- tain, where Union and Confederate soldiers struggled for mastery back in the sixties, automobile drivers will contest for prizes today, tomorrow and the next day. The conditions of the contests call for drives to the top of the mountain, 2,000 feet above sea level, along a path five miles in length and abounding in sharp turns, It is not at all a hill climb, but a genuine mountain climb calculated to test the nerve and skill of the most experi- enced drivers. The road is a stone pike in fine condition. ‘While the climb is difficult, arrange- ments have been made to have gov- ernment troops guard the course, and it is certain that both contestants and spectators will be protected. The events have been sanctioned by the American Automobile association. They are held under the auspices of the Lookout Mountain Automobile club of this city. There will be eight events, six for automobiles and two for motor cycles. The first will be free for all con- test for automobiles, without restric- tion as to make, weight or construc- tion. NORTH [GOLF SEASON OPENS Three Day Tournament Begins on the Links at Lakewood, N. J. Lakewood, N. J., April 22.—Follow- ing the successful winter and spring golf season on the southern courses, the opening of the match play on the focal links today marks the beginning of the northern competitions. The -golfers will play here three days. The army of returning players from the south is well represented, and to the number are added many players of note from New York, Phil- adelphia and other nearby cities. The Lakewood tournament will be fol- lowed by the spring events at At lantic City_from April 29 to May 1. Prominent lowan Dead. ‘West Union, Iowa, April 22—S. B. Ziegler, pioneer lawyer and banker of Towa, consul to Aix-la-Chappelle, Germany, under President Harrison’s administration, many years prominent and forceful in social and political affairs, is dead at his home here at the age of seventy-eight. Hungafian Cabinet Resigns. Budapest, April 22.—The Hungarian cabinet has resigned and the emperor- king, Francis Joseph, has asked Count Andressy, minister of the interior, ta form a new cabinet. The resignation ‘of the ministry of Premier Wekerle is due to internal divergence of opin- fon, which has resulted in the break- ing up of the coalition of political parties by which the premier was supported in his efforts to secure the establishment of a Hungarian state bank independent of the existing Austrian state banking Egituggu_‘ S About Eggs. In a hen’s egg only one-fifth of the substance is nutritious, one-ninth part is refuse, and the remainder, the great- er portion, is water. ‘White shelled eggs are not quite as good as yellow ones, for they contain - & trifle more water and a little less fat. But your purveyor knows this and fre- quently colors his white eggs with cof- fee. Judged by the amount of nutriment, a goose’s egg is the most valuable. hens’, turkeys’ and plovers’. Lggs con- tain a large quantity of sulphur, which is purifying to the blood and-good for the complexion. To get the best egg you must feed your fowl on grain, and to cook it in the most digestible way you must not boil the water. Heat the water to 180 degrees and leave the egg in it for ten minutes. You will then digest every morsel. But if you boil it for three minutes no less than one-twelfth of it will fail to be digested. Thus if you eat two eggs boiled for three minutes every day you waste five dozen in a year.—London Mail. The Leopard and the Pan. One day a worthy Kulu housewife came out from her cooking and, stand- ing cn the ledge of rock at her door, emptied a pan of boiling water into the rank herbage growing below. It fell, splash, on the back of a sleeping leop- ard, who jumped perpendicularly into the air as high as the roof of the hut. ‘What might have happened next? Who can say? But the astonished wo- man dropped the pan with a clang up- on the rock, and the leopard took one leap downhill. The pan followed, and the leopard’s downward leaps became longer and swifter as the pan bounded after it from rock to rock. ‘When last seen the leopard had just achieved a leap of about 350 feet to the very bottom of the ravine, thou- sands of feet below, and the pan had whirled about 500 feet over it on the opposite side. The leopard would have eaten the old woman with pleasure, but a pan which first scalded half the hide off him and then bounded clanging in his wake from the top of the Hima- layas to the plains below was some- thing which he could not face.—Lon- don Chronicle. A Mexican Tradition. “Boys, what's the matter? Fever? Die, then; die, then.” That's the song the doves sing down in old Mexico when a native has penumonia, and alrost invariably he lies down, refuses to swallow the medicine prescribed by the physician, resigns himself to his fate and in a few weeks he dies. The dove, however, sings the song in Span- ish. It is a tradtiion among the Mex- feans that once the fever accompany- ing an attack of pneumonia seizes them it is necessarily fatal, and be- cauge of this all medicine and all phy- sicians are refused and the Mexican ususlly dies. The dove brings the story of death in its weird cooing, ac- cording to the bellef of the natives, and many who have been seized with the fever who otherwise might have recovered have succumbed owing to their Delief in the tradition. That Is the yeason, it is said, why penumonia 1n | I8 fatal to so many Mexicans.—New York Herald. The Only Explanation. Ol1d Mrs. Smith was a chronic com- plainer and was constantly sending for the family physician and giving him a list of her fancied ailments. He al- ways listened quite patiently, but was getting a little tired of hearing the same things over and over. One day when the old lady consid- ered herself in an unusually bad way she sent for the doctor and, after go- ing over the usual list, ended by say- Ing: “Really, doctor, T do not know wht in the world is wrong with me. I can neither lay nor set.”” The doctor looked at her a moment, then said in a solemn tone, “Madam, you must be a rooster.”—Kansas City Independent. Wanted Something Quicker. Some few years ago I issued a pol- ley on the life of 2 man who was far from being a model husband. I called for the premium every week and rare- Iy got it without a grumble from the wife. The last time I called she said: “I ain’t going to pay you any more. There’s Mrs. Smith only had her old man in M.’s society three months, and he’s dead, and she’s got the money. I'm going to put my old man in that, 50 you needn’t call again.”—Liverpool Mercury. Flattered Him. “I feel sure Miss Smith is in love with you,” said a lady to her brother. “Do you? It sounds too good to be true.” “Well, I heard her say yesterday that plainness in a man is not really a fault, but a sign of character.” Seedless Fruits. Science so far has failed to furnish any explanation of the mystery of seedless fruits. They are not the out- come of the work of man. Man per- petuates them. He does no more.
