You can quote me as saying, am with you on reapportionment, and thoroughly believe that a fairer representation of northern Minnesota should and can be brought about at the next meeting of the legislature. You have about one third the representation in the legislature that you should have, and believe it is unjust to this half of the state.” He said further that this should have been accomplished two years ago, but the opposition had com- menced its work to early. This part of the State has grown so rapidly, one does not realize it. You need more representatives and your going to get them. Woulda't it be a good idea to have the census enumerators give us an account of the eggs in cold storage next June? If the \oung actress in New York, who attempted suicide for advertis- ing purposes had employed a press agent she no doubt would have ob-/| tained better results. Emma Goldman seems to have “ B S plowed the turf” in the university section at Madison Wisconsin. Some of the “Big Bolders” were torn loose and are sull rolling. It may be a good thing that she came. Women,s hats to be higher. If the price can be kept down let the hats soar, as most men do not own flying machines the change will please them. For those who do will find plenty of room in the air, if they go high enough. The fact that the annual appro- priation for the Indian department, enforcing the laws prohibiting the sale of whisky to Indians will be raised from $50,000 to 70,000 should be conclusive evidence, that Uncle Sam means business. It is under- stood that more men will be em- ployed to carry out orders in this connection. Governor Adolph O. Eberhart has come and gone. Bemidji gave him entirely melted away. ' warmly applauded, and given a hearty welcome by the packed hou e in tke new High School building. He said much in the little time he was given to speak, and left his audience with a favorable impression ot him as chief executive of the great State of Minnesota. R. C. Dunn of princeton has the temerity to propose an extra session of the legislature. In an interview in St. Paul recently Mr. Dunn stands sponsor for an extra session to be limited to thirty days and to be charged with the duty of passing a bill proposing an amend- ment to the Constitution providing for a 1-mill tax for improved ' state highways. Senator L. O. Cooke' of Wabasha, who initiated the judicial proceedings that ended in the knock- ing out of the last roads and bridges ‘‘pork barrel bill” seconds Mr. Dunn’s motion. The former state auditor justifies the expense of an extra session by declaring that the legislation would mean in a tew years 500,000 new settlers in Minnesota. Interviewed, other Northern Minnesota members backed up Dunn’s proposition for the extra session, but insisted that reapportionment was fully as im- portant a subject as good roads and should also be considered if the session were held. Mr. Dunn, as one who usually has something to say with the nomination of Republican candidates for state office, is understood while - in St. Paul to have conferred with some of the more important state leaders of his party. There has been a revival of the talk of William E. Lee of Long Prairie as a candidate for the nomination for governor, and, while Mr. Dunn has been generally under- stood to be quite friendly to either Lee or Brower, itis said by his friends that he was not over-sanguine of the success of either. While Dunn would not talk for publication, it was reported about the hotels that he had about come to the conclusion that Governor Eberhart would inevitably be nominated. He was not so posi- tive, however, of the governor’s success at the polls. A number __wy|of theleading Republican papers of the state are talking along lines which would apparently justify the Princeton statesman’s fears.— Duluth Herald. ARRESTED BY THE POLICE Armed Italian Who Insisted on Seeing Governor Eberhart. St. Paul, Feb. 1..—Michaelangelo Scavo, who acquired notoriety by hav- ing his throat cut last March, tried to force his way into Governor Eberhart’s office at the capitol, the police charge, and was subdued only after a struggle with several guards. Scavo, according to the story, in- sisted on seeing the governor to pre- sent a petition. When the guards blocked his way he produced a re- volver and flourished it. A telephone message brought the police, who put the man into a patrol wagon and took his to the station. Scavo was held by Judge Finehout under $200 bail. He is charged with carrying . concealed weapons.

LIVE STOCK RECEIPTS LIGHT Government lssues Comparative Re- port Covering Five Years. ‘Washington, Feb. 11.—Figures which show that maybe the meat trust isn't altogether responsible for the rise in steaks, cutlets and chops came from the bureau of statistics. The bureau. in a special statement, declares live stock receipts at the sev- eral leading interior markets for 1909 were considerably lower than’the av- erage for the past five years. During the year receipts of hogs at these sev- eral centers totaled 18,834,641 head, as against 22,863,701 in 1908, and the gen- eral average of over 19,000,000 since 1904. The cattle receipts were 9,189,312, as against 8,827,360 in 1908, an increase, but still not anything like the totals for the years 1905, 1906 and 1907. ‘The 1909 arrivals of sheep—10,284,- 905 head—while in excess of like to- tals for the two preceding years, show a smaller total than the figures for 1905 and 1907. g While it is often impossible to prevent an accident, it is never impossible to be prepared—it is not beyond anyone’s purse.

Chicago, Feb. 11.—Establishment in Chicago of the $2,000,000 “H. C. Elli- ott Home for Destitute Children,” pro- vided for in the will of a wealthy Alaskan gold hunter, but hedged about by peculiar legal provisions, is threat- ened with still further obstacles. The will—in which the second wife of the testator and the proposed home for children are the principal bene- ficlarles—was filed for probate here. At once a suit to restraln the probat- ing of the testament was filed by Cath- erine M. Elliott, first wife of Elliott, whom he divorced. Elliott died in Alaska last Decem- ber in an avalanche mear where he had been a gold hunter since 1897. The Northern Trust company was made executor for the estate. The income was to be paid to his wife, Grace Van Wormer Elliott, with the exception of bequests to his son, H. C. Eliiott, Jr., a sister, Ella Louise, and a brother, A. J. Elliott. If at any time the estate-reached a value of $2,000,- 000 that amount was to be used in the construction of the children’s home bearing Elliott’s name. The first wife bases her attack on a grubstake agreement made before Elliott went to Alaska. She declares she provided Elliott with $500 to enter the gold rush in 1897 and that she holds an agreement signed by her and her husband which provides for an equal division of the proceeds from the mining venture. ‘When Elliott returned from Alaska in 1902 after making his lucky strike he divorced his first wife. An attack of grippe is often fol lowed by a persistent cough, which to many proves agreat annoyance, Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has been extensively used and with good success for the relief.and cure -of this .cough. Many cases have been cured after all other remedies had failed. Sold by Barker Drug Co. to be votedon at 8 8 ACCUSE MANY OF ILLEGAL ENTRIES Sixty-four Charged” With Coal Land Frauds. INMENSE SUM INVOLVED C Cover Nearly Ten Thousand' Acres, Appraised by Government Ex- perts at Nearly a Million’and & Half Dollars—Alleged’ That Dummy En- trymen Made Filings: in’ Interest’ of Big Concerns. Lander, Wyo., Feb. 11.—Sixty-four defendants in alleged coal land-frauds against the government appeared at the United States land office in this city in cases brought by the govern- ment for the cancellation -of titles to coal lands said to be the most. valu- able in Wyoming. The cases involve 9,500 acres in the mineral district north of Lander and appraised by government experts at nearly $1,500,000. The government alleges that these: lands were filed upon by “dummy” entrymen for the benefit of the Owl Creek Coal company and the Noérth- western Coal company, which: are con- trolled largely by New York capital- ists. The two companies are reported to be associated with the -Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad, The cases are commonly known as the “Gebo coal land fraud cases,” as Sam- “uel W. Gebo, George W. Daily, Rufus P. Ireland and others are alleged to have been instrumental in obtaining the titles to the lands involved. The cases have. been under investi- gation by federal land agents for three years. An injunction suit was brought in the United States court at Chey- enne recently by the government ask- ing that the Owl Creek Coal company be restrained from operating coal mines at “Gebo, Big Horn county, which are said to be producing 700 tons of coal daily. A temporary re- straining order was grantéd by the court and more than 1,000 miners were thrown out of work. John A, Willlams, law examiner of | the land office, will hear the ‘cases. Forty witnesses will be summoned, many of them from New York. POSTAL BANK BILL TO. PASS No Doubt Measure Will Be Approved by Congress. ‘Washington, Feb. 11.—There is no; longer any doubt that before congress adjourns a law will be upon ‘the stat- ute books authorizing savings bank de- | posits in the postoffices throughout the United States. Thé senate will pass the Carter bill in some form next week, by a majority of eight votes, if a poll just made is to be relied upon. The measure then will go to the house and will be re- ferred to the committee on postoffices and postroads. A Republican caucus of the members of the house will be held promptly. This caucus will rec- ommend the passage of a postal sav- ings bank bill, probably differing from that fathered by Senator Carter of Montana.

House a conference committee ot the two houses will meet and in the final form drafted by that committee the measure will be passed-and presented to the president for his approval. MORTON FOR AMBASSADOR Former Secretary of Navy May Go to 2 London. Washington, Feb. 11.—It is rumored in high diplomatic circles that the British: embassy has: transmitted to the state department the acceptability of Paul Morton, former secretary of the navy and now president of the Equitable Life Assurance soclety, for the American ambassadorship to the court of St. James. Developments during the last week in the international field have been such as to make it imperative for this government to Reld’s successor at once Instead of walting indefinitely, as had been planned by the president. BOILER EXPLOSION CREATES - HAVOC Six Men Are Killed and Many Others - Injured. Bay City, Mich., Feb. 11.—While a| 4 Bscore of workmen were warming them- selves in the boiler room of Princing’s saw mill- at Crump, ‘walting for the whistle to start the day’s work, the boiler exploded, killing eix of the men outright and injuring all the others. The mill was wrecked. It is be- lieved that cold water was forced into the boiler when the water was low, causing an excess of steam. ESCAPE IN SCANTY ATTIRE Hotel Guests Panic Stricken by Fire in Building. New York, Feb. 11.—Scores of guests in" the Cosmopolitan hotel on ‘West Brordway ran ‘panic stricken in Scanty attire to the street when smoke from a fire that had broken out down stairs went up through the upper hall- ways. Employes had difficulty in re- assuring - the frightened group that sought safety out of doors. while the firemen were working within. The { fire was extinguished with small dam- age. ’ A few minutes delay in treating |some cases of croup, even in the . length-of time it takes to go for a ' doctor often proves dangerous The safest way is to keep Cham- berlain’s Cough Remedy _in the ‘house, and at the first indication i of croup give the child -a - dose. { Pleasant to take and always cures Sold by Barker Drug Co, appoint Whitelaw { Is alcohol a tonic 2 VNol " Does it make the blood'pure?
