Horton of St. Paul, a member of the state sen- ate and one of the best known public men in Minnesota, died Saturday night at Nassau, in the Bahama islands, where he had gone to recover his health. Death was due to Bright’s dis- ease, which had been fastening its hold on him for years. Senator Horton left St. Paul more than a month ago and went direct to Nassau, where ‘he had a sister living. A few days later word was sent back that his illness had taken a serious turn, and Mrs. Horton went to join him. Hiler H. Horton was a leading figure in the legislature of the state for the last five sessions, and exerted a greater influence in the state senate than any other one man. During his service in the senate he had charge of the new capitol bills and handled the campaign for larger appropriations to erect the building. ELECT DYING MAN TO OFFICE.

Resume of the Week’s Proceedir Wednesday. Washington, April 5. — The house during its session yesterday listened to a criticism of the president by Mr. Fitzgerald (N. Y.) for the failure of the chief executive properly to advise the house as to the objections he had to the bill opening 50,000 acres of land for grazing purposes in Oklahoma Ter- ritory, instead of advising the mem- bers of the Indian affairs committee as to the weakness of the measure sc that it might be amended to meet the wishes of the commissioner of Indian affairs. In the senate yesterday Mr. New- lands discussed the railroad rate bill and Mr. Daniel the question of the lack of representation by the Southern states in the public service. Mr. Newlands advocated amendments to the rate bill, providing for the nation- al incorporation of railroads and an- nounced himself as favorable to the government ownership of those utili- ties. Thursday. Washington, April 6—In the senate yesterday there was a re-echo of the White House conference over railroad rate legislation, and, while the discus- sion ended in good nature, for a time the feeling was somewhat intense. The incident occurred at the close of a speech by Mr. Stone, which was de- voted largely to a discussion of that conference. Mr. Dolliver charged that other sen- ators had been in consultation with the presidents of railway companies. The intimation was resented by both Mr. Bailey and Mr. Foraker, and they demanded the names of senators re- ferred to. These’Mr. Dolliver declined to give. The postoffice appropriation bill, following an immemorial custom, was made the vehicle for a number of speeches yesterday having no bearing on the subject but of general interest to the country. The rights of labor were discussed by Mr. Towne (N. Y.)} good roads by Mr. Lee (Ga.), railway mail pay by Mr. Steenerson (Minn.), and protective tariff by Mr. Rainey (ml.). Friday. Washington, April 7—In making an effort yesterday to get the senate to agree upon a date for taking a vote on the railway rate bill, Mr. Tillman made the important statement that one week more probably will exhaust the general debate. He failed, how- ever, to secure the consent of Mr. Aldrich, who said that he would not agree to vote on the bill until it is more nearly perfected. During the day there were three speeches on the measure. The first was made by Mr. Elkins, who, while saying that the sit- uation demands legislation, indicated many defects in the bill. Tariff, railway mail subsidy, de- natured alcohol and enlarged postal facilities for Western cities were the features in the debate in the house yesterday. Monday. Washington, April 10.—Mr. McLau- rin and Mr. Morgan addressed the sen- ate yesterday on the railway rate ques- tion, the former advocating legislation and the latter opposing. Notwithstanding that this was Dis- trict day in the house and that body resolved itself into a committee on council for the purpose of making laws for the District of Columbia, general interest was shown in the bills requir- ing non-resident pupils to pay tuition and regulating the employment of child labor. CAR RUNS OFF TRESTLE. Plunges Off the End at Full Speed and Kills Two Men. Chisholm, Minn., April 10. — Two men were killed at the Monroe mine last night, when a motor engine and a dump car ran off a sixty-foot trestle and the victims were thrown to the ground below. George Dinko and Stephen Lucas, the dead men, were operating the motor and car from the mine toward the end of the trestle. As the engine approached the end of the trestle Lucas pulled the lever, but in- stead of turning off the power, as he thought, he turned it on at full speed and the engine, dragging the car on which Dinko was riding, plunged over the end of the trestle. TWO ELEVATORS BURNED. Fire at Eden Valley Causes Loss of $20,000. Eden Valley, Minn., April 10.—Two grain elevators were burned to the ground here, causing a loss of about $20,000, covered in part by insurance.

Fergus Falls, Minn., April 6. — The first seeding of the year was done on Monday, several farmers in the town of Aastad putting in grain.

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cure rheuma- tism because they supply the necessary elements to the vitiated blood and en- able nature to cast out the impurities and effectacure. Mrs. A. Baker, of No. 119 Fitch street, Syracuse, N. Y., will furnish living evidence of the truth of this statement. ‘There has been rheu- matism in my family ever since I can re- member,’’ she says. ‘‘ My grandmother was a great sufferer from muscular rheumatism and my mother also had the disease in a mild form. About a year ago I had a hard cold and rheumatism caught me in my left knee. There were sharp pains, confined to the neighbor- hood of the knee and they seemed to go right into the bone. The pain I suffered ‘was intense and I also had dizzy spells. “The doctors called my trouble triatic and sciatic rheumatism. When I didn’t get better under their treat- ment my brother-in-law suggested that I try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I bought three boxes, and, by the time I had taken them, the pain and dizziness had entirely left me. I wanted to make sure of a cure so I bought three more boxes, but I didn’t take quite all of them as I found that I was entirely cured. “« Before I took the pills the pain was so severe that I had to cry at times and when I was cured I was so thankful and grateful and I am glad to recommend them to every one who suffers with rheumatism.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have cured severe cases of anzemia, sciatica, nervous- ness, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia and St. Vitus’ dance that have not re- sponded to other modes of treatment. All druggists sell Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail, post- paid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Wil- liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Why He Didn’t Prosper. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in an ad- dress on the subject of success, said: “T will illustrate my meaning with an incident that happened in a West- ern mill. “A huge, brawny chap applied to the foreman of the mill for work. Though there were no vacancies, the foreman took him on—he told so piteous a tale of woe—and set him to shoveling coal in the mill yard. “In the afternoon the foreman went to see how the new hand was doing. He found him, in company with an old hand—a lean veteran of sixty—shovel- ing coal into a cart. But the old hand worked faster than the new one, shov- eling in two shovelfuls of coal to the new hand’s one. “Look here,’ said the foreman to the brawny stranger, ‘this is hardly fair. Pete is throwing two shovelfuls into the cart to your one.’ “Yes, boss,’ replied the new hand, ‘and I told the fool about it, too.’” Too Brutal. In a discussion of the brutality of football Morris Wood, the skating champion, said the other day: “One of my friends told me that last fall as he was walking down a certain street he saw a crowd collected, and in the center two lads fighting like mad. “The older lad, as my friend ap- proached, downed the younger one, and then began to kick him. “To this treatment the younger lad objected lustily. “ ‘Here, Jack,’ he shouted, squirming under the kicks, ‘mind what yer about. This is only a fight. It ain’t football.’” DECAYED STARCH. i A Food Problem. (3 An Asheville man tells how right food did that which medicines had failed to accomplish. “For more than 15 years,” he says, “I was afflicted with stomach trouble and intestinal indigestion, gas form- ing in stomach and bowels and giving me great distress. These conditions were undoubtedly due to the starchy food I ate, white bread, potatoes, etc., and didn’t digest. I grew worse with time, till, 2 years ago, I had an attack which the doctor diagnosed as appen- dicitis. When the surgeon operated on me, however, it was found that my trouble was ulcer of the pancreas in- stead of appendicitis. “Since that time I have had several such attacks, suffering death, almost. The last attack was about 3 months ago, and I endured untold agonies. “The doctor then said that I would have to eat less starchy stuff, so I began the use of Grape-Nuts food for I knew it to be predigested, and have continued same with most gratifying results. It has built me up wonder- fully. I gained 10 pounds in the first 8 weeks that I used Grape-Nuts, my general health is better than ever before, my brain is clearer and my nerves stronger, ‘ “For breakfast and dinner, each, ! take 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts with cream, a small slice of dry toast, an egg soft boiled and a cup of Post- um; and I make the evening meal on Grape-Nuts and cream alone—this gives me a good night’s rest and I am well again.” Name given by Post- um Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
