Senator C. C. McCarthy took Dem- ocratic counsel and swiped the follow platform of this district. Without re- gard to partisanship he will have the wishes ofall citizens for the | success of his bill. enator McCarthy of Grand Rapy* -uftroduced a bill in the senate; which: is armed at the fir rds y. dnesday vegue among loggers in Northern Minnesdta, ‘The injustice done men time checks payable at distant points and at dates long in the future has been frequently pointed out by The Herald, and the necessity for legisla- tion that will protect the men and in- sure them the full and prompt pay- ment of wages has been urged. Under the existing practice a man employed in Itasca county, for in- stance, atthe time of his discharge is given a time check payable in, Min- neapolis one, two or three months hence.. He may have only $20 or $25 due him. ‘To get the money he must go to Minneapolis and wait patiently until his time check 1s due, or sell itata discount to the nearest bank or dealer in that class of paper. If payment is refused he has lien on the logs, but cannot foreclose his lien save in Hennepin county. An iné adequate sum isallowed him for the payment of attorneys’ fees, and he cannot recover for his own time spent fin the prosecution of his claim. By the provisions of Senator Mct Carthy’s bill, employers are required to pay-their men in cash at the time of quitting, and if they are hot paid they can file a lien on the logs in the county where the work was perform- ed. On all claims of less than $too they are allowed an attorney’s fee of $25, which will permit of ther em- ploying good lawyers. In addition to this they can recover $1.g0 per day from the time the lien is filed uatl a verdict is rendered. : _ Senator McCarthy said that while his pill may seem severe, it will work one. Loggers; when they dismiss an employe, will, tf him In .cash what is due him rather jthan take the chances of a lawsuit which threatens such severe penalties. He makes no attempt to require oper- ators ,to- pay, meén.before the end of more serious outbreak than that of the Bear Islanders will come. According to this authority, the full-bloods re- pudiate the peace as having been made by Indians in_ the so-called timber clique. The full-bloods are holding secret councils on White Earth reservation and have deter- ington and_thteaten to rise and wipe out the whites and breeds on the reservation unless the government accedes to their requests, Since President McKinley pardoned the In- dians they have become more defiant and impudent than before. ‘We could have taken President McKinley to places within a quarter of an hour’s journey from our mission,” said the missionary, “and shown him things that would have deterred him from granting those pardons.” Councils have been held at Rice, Twin Lake and other places. Fatal Accident John Martin, fifteen years of age, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. Martin of this village, was accidently killed at Steamboat Landing, four miles from Deer River, on Wednesday of this week. The boy had been in the em- ploy of Dwyer & Hunter as log stamper but at the time of the accident | was amusing himself by climbing over aload of logs. ‘The logs rolled from the sleigh and the boy jumped to the ground, falling upon his back. A log struck him on the chin, breaking his neck. Death was instantaneous. The funeral took place today from St. Joseph’s Catholic church, Rev Father Valentine conducting the _ services. Interment was made in Itasca ceme- jtery. The remains were followed to their last’ resting place by a large number of citizens and school children, the latter having been his playmates. The bereaved parents have the sym- pathy of the entire Community. RECORD OF THE RAILROADS Laprairie Complains Because Trains Wou’t Stop Judge Eugene A. Arnold of La- prairie called on the railroad commis- sion recently and made verbal com- plaint that the Eastern Minnesota furnished it with no passenger train the bill becomes a law, simply pay }seryice, says the St. Paui Globe. The commission agreed to serve the usual notice upon the railroad com- pany. A hearing will be held after the commission is completed by the appointment of a third commissioner their service, until they are ready to Hf they were forced to push it to the best of his abihty.

[ee question of a short time when a} liam.H.. Eystis of Minneapolis, who! Hon. Wil- ran for+ governor on the Republican ticket last fall, at one time owned a general store in Laprairie. General Passenger Agent Whitney, of the Great Northern, said that he supposed Laprairie was one of the small stations where the company stops trains during the wheat season for the accommodation of the farmers, but where it could not afford to stop trains the year round, Laprairie did not furnish enough business to pay for an agent. Local freight trains would stop there or anywhere else where there was any businéss to pick up. Laprairie’s complaint raises a new and interesting legal question which is whether the railroad com- mission can compela railroad to stop its trains at any given point. The commission has been called upon to compel carriers to bnild depots and connecting tracks and now its juris- diction over train schedules will be tested. A Kick That Didn’t Count. United States Postoffice Inspectors Gordon and Hollowa arrived in town | Wednesday and made a very minute investigation of the affairs of Judge Stilson as Grand Rapids’ nasby. They made a report that was eminently satisfactory to ‘the judge and his friends and one that much chagrined alimited number of young Republi- can sore-heads who seem to imagine that the Republican party was origin- ally brought into existence for their especial besefit. Uncle Sam’s in- spectors have a faculty of makivg matters either exceedingly pleasant or entirely disagreeable for postmast- ers. The findiny of any irregularities or incompetency means prompt prosecution or dismissal at the hands of the department. In conversation with the Herald-Review Inspector Gordon stated that he had not visited an office within twelve months that was in more perfect order than the Grand Rapids office. The books and accounts were admirably kept, he said, and the service, apparently, ought to satisfy the most exacting patron. Only one suggestion was offered by the inspectors, and that related to the carelessness of box- renters who neglected to keep their boxes locked. In this way mail is frequently misappropriated and the postmaster should protect himself by } posting notices totifying patrons} that he will not be re- sponsible for mail’ lost in that man- ner. An effort was recently made to have Judge Sti'son removed so thata lately deposed county official might be-provided for. But the scheme wouldn’t work, and only resulted in making bim more, solid than ever with the powers that be. Hides Wanted. Highest cash price paid for beef, horse andull kinds of hides and fur pelts.
