Republican politician of the Second district was a guest of the Saulspaugh last night, and he gave utterance to re- marks that would leade a layman to believe that he did not take much stock in Goy. Van Sant’s contest against the railroad kings. He said that, in his opinion, the fight now being waged was brought about by Thomas Lowry, W. D. Washburn and others, who are inter- ested in the Soo and the Canadian Pa- clfic roads. ‘““‘Why, my boy,” said the Second district man, “Private Secre- tary Robert Jamieson is a Minneapolis man, and he stands in with the Lowry- ‘Washburn crowd. It was to Robert that these gentlemen told their tale of woe, and he stirred the governor up, and the result is the fight against the Northern Securities company. I do not believe that Gov. Van Sant conceived the idea of making the fight. In my opinion, it is a case of two railroads making a fight against two other roads, with the gov- error used as a tool.”—Mankato Re- Anoka Covaty Girl Changes Her Mind at the Last Minute. Anoka, Minn., Feb. 6. — A real ro- mance has been recorded for the vil- jage of Centerville, in Anoka county, just north of St. Paul. Mary La Belle is a black-eyed, black-haired maiden of French pareatage, for whose hand there were two suitors. One Sunday the priest at the church at Centerville was to publish the bans and a big crowd was present to learn which was the lucky suitor. The choice fell to Pet Marier, a sturdy farmer. Thrice were the bans published, and the day ot the wedding «ame. The would-be groom was waiting, but the bride came not, and search revealed the fact that she had gone. The other woer, John M d of Dayton, had secured a marriage license in Anoka that day for Mary La Belle and himself, and Judge Ege of the municipal court tied the 1ot while the guests were leaving the church at Centerville, 0 DEATH. = view.

The normal schodl board and the state board of control have agreed upon terms which settle the questions left at issue between the two boards by th» supreme court decision. President A. T. Ankeny ‘and State Superintend- enc Olsen met in conference with the members of the board of control in ac- cordance with instructions given by the rcrmal board at its last meeting. The terms were pronounced satisfac- tory by President Ankeny, and will be put into operation at once. The agree- ment is as follows: Estimates for school supplies for the normal schools will be prepared by the normal board and receive its affidavit before being sent to the board of con- trol. Contracts with employes, with state- ments of amounts of salaries, together with the monthly pay rolls, will be ap- proved by the normal board and for- warded to the roard of control. An itemized statement of all neces- sary expenses of the‘normal board and its members will be sent to the board of cortrol upon proper blanks and vouchers. Correspondence pertaining to normal school matters will be between the board of control and the state normal board, and will be addressed to Secre- tary Olsen of the normal board. The board of control will appoint as purchasing agents .of the schools the pookkeepers of the normal schools. Purchases or disbursements will be made by the purchasing agents upon approval by the resident directors and will be for emergency purposes only. President Bohanan will be appointed purchasing agent of the Duluth normal school. The purchasing agents will serve without pay other than their reg- ular salaries. The normal board estimates that the necessary expenses of preparing the estimates and attending to the business of the normal board, outside of the personal expenses of its members, will not exceed $25 per month. The board passed a voucher for $13,- 661, due to McLeod & Smith, contrac- tors for the Duluth, normal. school building. The rest of the $25,000 will be paid when the building is accepted for the state. The bills for plumbing and heating went over because the vouch- ers were not ready. D. R. Black claims $3,408 on the plumbing contract and $8,398 is due the American Heating company on the heating contract. LANDS SAVED TO THE STATE. Long Drawn Controversy Over Swamp Land Grant Is Adjusted. Duluth, Minn., Feb. 4. — The long drawn controversy between the State of Minnesota and the Duluth & Iron Range Railroad company over the swamp land grant of that company, in- volving 45,079 acres of land that in- cludes three valuable iron mines, has finally been adjusted satisfactorily to all parties. The case was a somewhat complicated one. Subsequent to the granting by the state to the Iron Range road of ten sections of swamp land for each mile of the railroad, the road’s title became clouded by its alleged fail- ure to comply with certain conditions of the grant and a suit resulted. On Jan. 8, 1900, Judge Lochren of the Unit- ed States court decided that the com- pany’s title was valid and attached to its decree was a list of tands to which the company’s title was declared abso- lute. Over a year later it was dis- covered that list included by mistake 45,079 acres of land held in trust by the state for the benefit of state institu- tions. An investigation developed that the error was a clerical one or a mis- apprehension on the part of the at- torneys. The problem, however, was a difficult one for the state, because the time for the appeal from the decree had expired. Proposals were then sub- mitted by the state officials to the rail- road ccmpany for an adjustment and after long negotiations these have been accepted. In effect the company re- leases all state institution lands and will select other swamp land in leu of them within six months, Judge Loch- ren will modify his decree in accord- ance with the stipulations. PHYSICIANS’ GUARANTEE. Company That Wants toe Do Business in This State. Insurance Commissioner Dearth gave a hearing to representatives of the Physicians’ Guarantee company, Fort Wayne, Ind. The company wants to do business in Minnesota, but not un- der the insurance laws. When admitted the company filed articles of incorpor- ation as required by the Somerville law. E Commissioner Dearth notified the of- ficers that unless they complied with the insurance laws.of.the state and re- ported to his department he would pro- ceed against any agent found soliciting business in Minnesota. _ Attorney Taylor of Fort Wayne, be- fore the insurance commissioner, claimed that the company in no sense was an insurance organization. It issues contracts to physicians, by which it binds itself to defend in all the courts any action for damages that may be brought against any of its cli- ents, including the employment of at- torneys and the payment of all court charges, but it does not undertake to pay judgments that may be rendered against Its clients. They must do that themselves. On this account the com~ pany claims that it does not belong to the insurance class. It does, however, agree to pay claims that may be compromised, provided they: are compromised for a sum less than the estimated cost of defending the action in court. HIS LAST TRIP FATAL. Brakeman Promises to Quit Road but Is Killed at Work. Le Sueur, Minn., Feb. 4—Mark Kulp was killed at Ottawa Saturday after- noon while coupling cars, the wheels passing directly over his body, At his mother’s request he was going to quit the road, and this was to have been his last trip. An inquest will ‘be held. THIRTY-SIX SUMMER SCHOOLS. They Will Last Four Weeks and Be Held Bofore After N, E. A. Conven- tion, There will schools in Minnesota next summer. be thirty-six summer J. W.

FEW SMALLPOX CASES IN WOODS. Lumbermen Obey Order of Health Department. Dr. Bracken, secretary of the state board of health, returned from an ex- tended investigation of smallpox con- ditions in the Minnesota lumber camps. Dr. Bracken visited Bertha, Bemidji, Walker, Park Rapids and other vil- lages near which the camps are lo- cated. , “I found the conditions of the camps much better than in former years, and I think that there is less smallpox there now than at this time last year. The Jumbermen generally are taking more effective precautions and are fol- lowing more closely the directions of the board. The shanty bosses of some of the camps are required to make a careful inspection of the men every morning and report at headquarters with any man showing symptoms of the disease. The men infected are im- mediately taken to the smallpox hos- pitals. “The authorities in Hubbard, Cass and Beltrami counties have established smallpox “hospitals. Here the men from the lumbet camps are taken and the camps are immediately attended to. In this way the camps are kept free from quarantine. “I have recelved complaints against but one company which, it is said, is concealing smallpox from the health euthorities and thereby helping to spread the disease. I have left in- structicns with the inspectors to be as strict as possible when they find lum- bermen evading the law. The lumber- men who, adopt such tactics will get no mercy from th2 health department.” WIN BUTTER PRIZES. But Half a Point Separates Packages That Win First and Third Places. ‘The winners of the morth’s butter competition conducted by the state dairy and food department were an- nour.ced by Commissioner McConnell. Thomas Moe, Winthrop, Sibley county, won the first prize, butter scoring 95.5 points. A. P. Elmquist won sec- ond prize with 95.25 points; and the third prize went to M. P. Mortensen, Stockhclm, Wright county. His but- ter scored 95 points. But half a point divided the first and third positions. The competition included 137 pack- ages of butter. The scoring this month was not as high as during the summer because the conditions incident to winter; the change in feeding and the housing of the cows affect the milk in a way that precludes the highest scor- ing The workmanship of the butter- makers, however, was never better. About forty of the packages were duplicateg. These samples of butter will be placed in storage by the de- partment and will be scored every thirty days to test their keeping quali- tes. Wild Wolves Chase Driver. Duluth, Minn, Feb. 5.—Wolf stories are getting pretty close to town. A small pack Sunday chased George Robr of this city a distance of four miles, and only abandoned the pursuit | when their prospective victim arrived at the Lakewood pumping station, nine miles east of the city. Mr. Rohr is a boilermaker in the employ of the Gogebic iron works. He was directed to hire a horse and cutter and go to one of Alger, Smith & Co.’s camps on the north short to repair a boiler on the ccmpany’s, logging road. He com- pleted kis work about dark and started immediately for home. Soon after leav- ing French river a number of wolves came up behind the cutter and demon- strated that they were out for prey. Mr. Rohr had a good horse and started him on, the run. The animals drew very close at times, but hesitated about Icaping into the cutter or at- tacking the horse, until, at the end of a fcur-mile run, the good horse and his frightened driver reached the pumping station, near Lakewood depot. Depot Burned. Staples, Minn., Feb. 5.—The Northern Pacific freight depot was totally de- stroyed by fire yesterday morning, in- volving a loss on con‘ents and building, of sev thousand dollars. The town- ship-records, kept there, wefe lost. CORGRESS RESUME OF THR WEEK’S PROCEEDINGS. - ¢ es 2 3 a eee In the Senate. Washington, Jan. 30. — For an hour yesterday the senate had under discus- sion the question whether a censorship of press dispatches existed in Manila. While no such turbulent scenes as Tuesday’s were enacted, the debate for a time was spirited. The secretary of war was quoted as saying that no press censorship now existed in the Philip- pines, and a letter from Gen. Greeley, chief signal officer of the army, was presented by Mr. Beveridge of Indiana, making the statement officially that there was no censorship of press dis- patches, and that “the press is entirely free.” It was contended by the opposition that a press censorship did exist in the Philippines and that copies of every news dispatch filed with the cable company was filed with the military authorities. That, it was maintained, constituted a virtual censorship. In the Ho The house yesterday adjourned after being in session twenty-five’ minutes. Mr. Hopkins of Illinois reported the permanent census bill and gave notice that he would call it up to-day. A re- quest to make the oleomargarine bill a special order for next Monday was ob- jected to on the Democratic side. Im the House. Washington, Jan. 31—The housé yes- terday passed the bill for the creation of a permanent census bureau. The friends of the civil service law, who were opposed to making the employes of the bureau eligible for transfer or retention were overwhelmingly defeat- ed. By the terms of the bill the per- manent organization will succeed the present temporary organization July 1, 1802, and all employes on the rolls upon the date of the passage of the act will become eligible for transfer to other departments or retention in the }present organization. The Dill also provides for a manufacturing census in 1905, and for the collection of certain statistics annually. Early in the ses- sion a bill was passed for the protec- tion of the lives of miners in the terri- tories. In the Senate. Yesterday's session of the senate was entirely void of the tumultuous scenes which characterized the sessions of the past three days. After the Philippine tariff measure was taken up at 2 o’clock Mr. Tillman delivered a speech de- voted almost entirely to a discussion of the part his state took in the war for independence of the colonies. Inci- dentally he referred occasionally to the pending bill, drawing morals, he said, for the benefit of the majority, that they might be applied to the Phil- ippines. Prior to taking up the Philip- pine bill the senate passed a number of unobjected bills on the calendar. In the House. Washington, Feb. 1.—The house yes- terday prepared to defend itself against what it considers the threatened in- vasion by the senate of its prerogative in the matter of revenue legislation by directing the ways and means commit- tee to investigate the subject and re- port to the house its conclusions. The action of the house was the outgrowth of the agitation in the senate of the claim that reciprocity treaties affect- ing the customs revenues can be nego- tiated without the concurrence of the house. Mr. Richardson, the minority leader, sought to have the house adopt a declaration on the » subject without waiting for the senate to commit an overt act, but the majority leaders were opposed to hasty action, and his reso- lution was referred to the ways and means committee. Several private claims bills were passed. In the Senate. An extended speech on the pending Philippine tariff bill was delivered in the Senate by Mr. Morgan of Alabama, who devoted particular attention to an amendment he offered to the bill last week. He maintained that the enactment of the bill as it stands now would not be a constitutional remedy for the situation the measure is de- signed to relieve, but said with the adoption of his amendment the bill weuld stand the closest scrutiny of the courts. The Alabama senator did not discuss the political phases of the Philippine question, devoting his entire speech to a consideration of the legal and constitutional questions raised by the presentation of the tariff measure. In the Senate. Washington, Feb. 4.—Another spirit- ed debate with the Philippine tariff bill as the text was precipitated in the senate yesterday as the result of some statements made by Mr. Carmack (Dem., Tenn.) in the course of an ex- tended speech on the general Philip- pine question. It was the Tennessee senator's first speech in the senate and he was given notably good atténtion on both sides of the chamber. At the conclusion of his address Mr. Bever- idge of Indiana challenged some of his statements. The debate which ensued was very lively for a few minutes, taking on a political phase which proved particularly interesting to the auditors who crowded the floor as well as the galleries. Mr. Beveridge and Mr Tillman became involved in a heated colloquy in which the ex- changes were as hot as both senators well cculd make them. Prior to the taking up of the Philip- pine bill the measure providing for an increase in the salaries of United States judges was under. discussion for an heur. In the course of the debate the case of Judge Arthur H. Noyes of the district court of Alaska was drawn upon to show why some judges should not be given the increase. In the House, The house devoted the day to gen- eral debate upon the oleomargarine bill, The opponents of the measure | attempted to ‘filibuster against it at the opening of the session, but were beaten by niore than’ a two-thirds vote. In the Senate. ‘Washington, Feb. 5.—After brief: dis- cussion yester@ay the senate passed the bill providing for a 25 per cent increase All amendments were voted down, in- cluding one to increase the salaries of cabinet officers from $8,000 to $12,000 a year. During the remainder of the day’s sessior. the urgent deficiency appro- priation bill was under consideration, the Philippine tariff measure being laid aside temporarily. Mr. Hansbrough of North Dakota made a spirited defense of Judge Ar- thu- H. Noyes of the district court of Alaska, and Aiexander McKenzie, upon whor: an attack was made in the sen- at2 Monday. This precipitated a long discussion of the Noyes case, legal and technical rather than personal. Mr. John F. Dryden was inducted into office as the successor of the late Senator William J. Sewall of New Jersey. r In the House. Debate on the oleomargarine bill con- tinued yesterday in the house and the prospects are that a vote will not be reached before to-morrow. The op- ponents of the bill are making a strong fight so far as the presentation of ar- gument is concerned, THE MARKETS.
