St. Paul, June $.—-With it tacitly understood that the senate will ap- prove the house program ince reap- portionment and congressional redis- tricting practically have been put in the discard, the legislative mill is grinding smoothly. A reapportionment hill, however, will be introduced, protably Monday, in the house, to keep the records of the legislators from strong reappor- tionment districts intact. Represen- tative Cleon T.

All ex anticipated. With political fortunes trembling in the balance, it bexzins to look as though a five per cent gross earnings railroad tax bill will go through both bodies. So eager is the house to get at the gross earnings Bill that a mo- tion to adjourn until Monday was withdr n and the house will take up gross earnings this morning. The house tax committee will re- port out the Rines-Warner bill to rai. the rate from fenr to five per cent. Representative Frank Mi nette of Sauk Center will urge an in- crease to six per cent. Monday probably will be devoted to the burial of reapportionment so as to arrive at an early adjournment. One member made the prediction on the floor of the house that the ses- sion was practically half over now. The real strugg will come on the state-wide primarv and the cor- rupt practices acts.

Harris several {years ago, may be induced to make| the run for sheriff of Reltrami eounty at the coming election this fall. It is understood that his friends__are strongly urging him to make tite Tun and some believe that should he de- jcide to come out the fight will be a one-sided affair. Outside of the Socialists none have as yet expressed their intention re- garding the race for any of the coun- ty offices with the exception of some | of the present incumbents. | Owing to the present bitter feeling| against Sheriff Hazen, it is believed | by many that if Riddell decides to {come out, the present incumbent will | | keep out of the race, as the popularity {of “Reddy” is strong among all fac- tions, and that he is the one man who {can unite the Republican party on its choice for this office.

Through ‘his attorney | P. J. Russell, he waived/examination and was again committed to the coun- ty jail, where he will await the action of the grand jury: o Swandland appeared rational and in a mood which showed clearly that he appreciated his position. Accord- ing to neighborhood gossip, it is be- lieved that he was provoked to the point where, owing to his nervous dis- position, he was in a measure justi-!| fied in making the alleged attack up- on Vidstrom. | Off to Alumni’ Banquet.

' Writhing and tugging like a thing alive, a forty-pound gyroscope, made under the direction of Professor Burt L. Newkirk of the college of engineer- ing of the University of Minnesota, Saturday night succeeded in resisting the efforts of two or three men to |throw it. It was part of an exhibi- tion of the gyroscope that Professor Newkirk will give during the “Uni- versity Week” in Bemidji. He gave a demonstration before a small group of spectators in the mechanic arts building at the university last night to try out his various pieces of ap- paratus. Another athletic gyroscope, the work of Professor Newkirk and Pro- fessor Otto Zelner, was a gyroscopic dumbbell. The bell ends of the weight were composed of fly wheels. When taken in the hands it evinced tenden- cles to twist and squirm altogether unusual for dumbbells. When the bolder attempted to turn it, it tnrned but at right angles to the direction intended. Another gyroscope was miounted * on a miniature flat cer. This was placed on a cable. - The fly wheel was Set in motion and one side of the car weighted. One side tilted down. but it was the side with no load. Pro- tessor Newkirk then struck the load- ed side a sharp blow with his fist. The load was not even jarred. A demonstration of the application of the gyroscope to prevent the rock- ing of boats was then shown. A min- iature canoe was slung on two large rubber bands. A small gyroscope was mounted in the canoe. It was started going and the boat pulled down 6n one side. As soon as it was released it came back to its upright position without swaying. The motion of the waves was then stimulated by shoves against the side. The boat refused to rock. ~ The gyroscope in all those trials tilted back and forth at right angles to-the direction of the force exerted. Programs for the week in Bemidji have been shipped from the Univer- sity headquarters and will be ready for distribution the first part of next week. The committee in charge of the ar- rangements here is planning to make Wednesday, June 19, one of the big days of the week. It has already been selected for Farmers’ Day and a pro- gram of especial interest to farmers has been prepared. Tn the evening the trade special of the Minneapolis jobbers will be here on fts trip from Minneapolis to Winnineg and then to International Falls, It is also ex- pected that many men from this sec- tion of Minnesota will stop here that day while on their way to Interna- tional Falls, & Season tickets for the week are on sale by the committee of thirty for the week. Tickets can be obtained from the city drug stores or from W. P. Dyer, W. B. Stewart, Harold Dane, W. A. Gould, F. S. Arnold, W. 8. Brooks, F. S. Lycan, il. C. Baer, W. N. Bowser, J. L. George, G. M.
