Other Minnesota Paper.
Beginning February 18
The Journal will publish daily a series of articles

Man, " edited by President Drap
er, of the University of Illinois,
to be concluded with an article by
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,
Concerning American opportuni
ties and the qualities which com
bine with them to produce success.
While interesting to all classes of
readers, this will be especially help
ful to young men. The subject will
be illustrated by "human docu
ments," so to speak, making plain
the secrets of success discovered
and exemplified by men of emin

industrial and intellectual activity.
Every one of these articles will read
like a first-class story, replete with
picturesque incidents.

which have come into our hands.
Persons having the largest informa
tion on this subject will discuss the
history of colonial governments by
other nations, with special refer
to the problems before our own
country.

thirteen years ago laid the foundation >
for the renewal of a romance which had '
its inception nearly sixty years ago. The
principals are John H. Smith of South
Minneapolis, Minn., and Mrs. Elizabeth
Wood CQEslee of Ravenswood, 111., a sub
urb of Chicago. Nearly sixty years ago, I
Smith and Elizabeth Wood were lovera in i
Chenango county, New York. When they j
arrived at a mature age. Smith pressed
his suit, but the girl's father objected.
Miss Wood eventually married a man
named Cosslee, and they moved to the
southern part of South Dakota and i
operated a large stock ranch. The next
family to move into the neighborhood
was John H. Smith's, and thus the two
old lovers were, unconsciously, brought
together. The two families became in
timate and visited back and forth but
none suspected that Mr. Smith and Mrs
Cosslee were old lovers. In the great
blizzard of thirteen years ago, Mr. Cosslee
lost his life. He went to the barn to
feed his horses, and though it was but a
hundred feet from the house, he never
returned. Mrs. Cosslee disposed of her
ranch and moved to Chicago, and ten
years after Mr. Smith sold his farm and
moved to Minneapolis.
No word of communication passed be
tween the two until last fall, when Mrs
Cosslee received a letter from Mr. Smith
telling of the death of his wife a year
before. A brief correspondence ensued
between the old people, and Mr. Smith
renewed the suit he commenced three
score years before. Mrs. Cosslee was not
averse, and a few weeks ago the ceremony
was performed, and the old couple have
moved to South Minneapolis to end their
lives together. Mrs. Smith is a grand
daughter of "Hallejuah" Bowen, the cele
brated Methodist preacher. %

Act. for a Penitentiary Chaplain lit

I* run to. ■ - '. , -
Special to The Journal.
Pierre. S. D., Feb. 11.—Following Is the
full text of the Joint resolution for the ap
pointment of a committee to investigate
the charitable and penal institutions and
the soldiers' home, the latter being in
cluded at the suggestion of members of
the home, speaking through Representa
tive Benedict, after the original resolution
had passed the senate:
A Joint resolution for the appointment of
a committee to Investigate charges contained
in Governor Andrew E. Lite's message,
against republican officials and employee of
the state institutions. Be it resolved by the
legislature of the state of South Dakota,
Whereas, ex-Governor Andrew E. L*e, in his
message to the legislature of the state of
South Dakota, made charges specific and
general against the former management of
the hospital for the insane at Yankton, the
penitentiary at Sioux Falls and the reform
school at Plankinton, alleging theft, embez
zlement, robbery, etc., on the part of the
various heads of these institutions, and also
the soldiers' home at Hot Springs, which
were removed by the fusion board of chari
ties and corrections. Now, therefore, be it
resolved, that a Joint committee from the
senate and house of representatives, consist
ing of three senators and four representa
tives, be appointed, and that such committee
be and is hereby authorized to make an in
vestigation into the management of said in
stitutions up to the present time and report
thereon, and to compel the attendance of
witnesses and the production of documents
and to issue subpoenas therefor.
Senator Burke of Fall River county an
ex-county treasurer, has introduced a'bill
to govern the collection of delinquent real
estate taxes that is a novel in its way and
should prove effective. At the present time
there are more back taxes owed to the
state than would pay the state debt twice
over, and if the Hills counties had what is
coming to them their warrants and other
forms of indebtedness would be gilt-edge
at their face value, while their treasuries
would be overflowing with coin. This bill
provides that following the tUne when
taxes become delinquent they shall be en
tered as a judgment against the land by
due process of law, and that these judg
ments shall subsequently be sold to the
highest bidder for not less than 25 per cent
of their face value. The judgments would
then take the form of tax certificates and
would be uncontestlble for the amounts
paid by the holder, who could in due time
take out a tax deed the same as at present.
The bill would, however, abolish the priv
ilege the tax title holder now enjoys of be
ing permitted to go to the treasurer's
office as soon as the taxes are spread and
by paying the tax subsequent to his certi
ficate compel the owner to put up 15 per
cent interest on the same, although it may
have been the intention of the latter to
pay the tax before it became delinquent.
The fees for judgments and recording
are nominal, and the holder of a certifi
cate would feel absolutely sure that he
would got his money back in the event of
redemption. Before the judgment can be
taken against the land the owner must be
served with a notice of the amount of the
tax, and shall also be cited to appear at
a time and place to show cause why the
judgment should not be entered. The tax
payer may appear at the time and contest
the tax on any legal ground whatever, but
if he fails to establish his case or permits
the proceedings to go by default, he can
not afterwards set up the illegality of the
tax as a« defense. Those who have ex
amined the bill carefully say it is an ad
mirable conception, and that without
working an injustice to any person it
would result in cleaning up a very large
percentage of the outstanding taxes on the
more worthless kind of lauds and lots.
The bill also abolishes the tax compromise
taw, as affecting taxes hereafter spread,
but expressly provides that the landowner
may redeem within a certain time upon
payment of the actual money expended by
the holder of the certificates with interest.
A fight is promised in the house on that
feature of the oil Inspection bill which
provides that 20 per cent of the fees col
lected shall go to the purchase of appara
tus and to pay the cost of tests at the
educational institutions. Some contend
that these fe«s would go to pay double
salaries and argue that they should be
covered into the state treasury, but it is
claimed on the other hand that it would
be illegal to collect fees of the sort for
state revenue and that such a provision
would invalidate the bill.
The compromise .educational bill that
has been finally reported is said to be a
creditable production by those who have
examined it. No radical changes are made
from the present law, not even in the mat
ter of salaries, but the township district,
so to speak, and the one-school district
are relieved of their dubious status and
put upon a common footing. The amend
ments made to the bill, in the committee
appear to change about 25" per cent of the
original draft.
The bill to create the office of chaplain
of the penitentiary, which was introduced
a few days ago, seems to meet with gen
eral approval and its passage is expected.
The salary is $1,000 a year, but no objec
tion is made to it on that score. Chaplain
Daley, of the first regiment, is mentioned
for the position.
r
Pour bills, companion measures, that
were introduced in the senate by the com
mittee on appropriations, aim to abolish
the cash fund evil at the public institu
tions, and will do so effectually without
working hardship to anyone, provided they
are enacted into law. One of them pro
vides that all officers who handle the
funds shall give bonds, others that the
money shall be devoted to the maintenance
of the institution from which it springs,
to be paid out only on warrant of the state
auditor. The fourth bill will abolish, the
deficiency evil by making it a misdemean
or to expend more money than was appro
priated for a particular object. If the
legislature enacts these four bills and does
nothing more it will not have sat and
j labored in vain.
£>nee more the barber bill has been de
cently killed and buried. This bill pro
vided for the appointment of a board of
inspection, the granting of licenses to
members of the craft, and fines and other
penalties for violators. The same bill was
defeated two years ago.
The hottest debate of the session in the
house occurred during the final considera
tion *f senate bill No. 48, to give to the
counties the benefit of the money which
now goes to the state for saloon licenses.
Representatives Odland, Egge and Seward
argued for and representatives Lawson
and McDougal against the_bill. There was
much suppressed excitement during roll
call and the final vote stood 45. to 30.
Representatives Bras and Packard had a
tilt over house bill No. 144, for the crea
tion of a state library board, which was
killed by a vote of 46 to 26. Bras spoke
for the measure and when he sat down
Packard moved to amend the title by mak
ing it read "A bill for an act to provide
employment for the idle." Bras retorted
that such an amendment was just what
might be expected from the Redfleld feeFle
minded asylum, and for a few minutes
the atmosphere w«s surcharged with var
ious kinds of trouble.
The bin to tax foreign corporation's for
the privilege of doing business in' this
state met a speedy death in the house. It
was felt that the enactment of such a law
would be unjust in many waya and that it
discriminated unduly in favor of foreign
copartnerships, which would be exempt

In order that the price may not prevent any one from using: this soap, druggists have been authorized io
sell the regular 25 cent size for 15 cents; and the trial size for 5 cents, sent by mail on receipt of price.
P. S.—l regard soap as a Medicine. It affects the whole human system. It either benefits or injures.
The pores of the body take into the system more or less of the soap, and the blood carries the same to every
organ of the body. Therefore it is important that people should use only soap that is free from poisonous
fats and dangerous alkalies. The time will come when scientists will discover that many diseases have been
transmitted by the use of impure soaps. I want the public to have the same confidence in my soap that they
have in my Rheumatism Cure or my Cold Cure. I know that my Rheumatism cure will relieve almost any
rheumatic pain in from one to three hours, and will cure in a few days, just as surely as I know that my Cold
Cure will cure colds in the head, colds on the lungs, new colds, old colds, and obstinate colds, and will pre
vent Grippe, Pneumonia and Diphtheria. I not only know it, but thousands of people who have been cured
over the country know it, 'just as they know that my Dyspepsia Cure and other remedies do all that I claim
for them. You can get the Remedies at any drug store, mostly for 25 cents a vial, or Broadway, Corner 26th

before in slightly different guise.
Senator Stoddard of Turner county has
written a letter to a student of Brookings
agricultural college that is a gem in its
way and should be preserved in print. The
senator, however, is too modest to give it
to the press. At the outset it recites the
fact that the students of the institution
are flooding the legislature with personal
letters appealing for appropriations for
improvements and reciting their desires at
length. Mr. Stoddard takes up these mat
ters one at a time and treats them humor
ously from the standpoint of an agricul
turalist who is obtaining his education by
direct contact with the soil. Withal he is
a good friend of the institution and will do
them justice as near as may be.

"SANTA" WILL STAY FREE
NOT A PARTY TO CONSOLIDATIONS
President Ripley Denies Reports
That Hi* Road Is to Be
Absorbed.
New York, Feb. 11.—President E. P.
Ripley of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railway, said last night:
"I have heard that there have been
many reports of late in Wall street to the
effect that there will be in the near fu
ture another move in the consolidation of
western roads which will include the ab
sorption of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe by some other road. You may state
■that no step of this nature has been or is
being considered."
He also denied that his visit to New
York was arranged for the purpose of con
ferring with Charles M. Hays, president
of the Southern Pacific.
"Of course there is nothing in the
rumor of a consolidation between the
Atchison and the Rock Island," he con
tinued. "Every one has the subject of
consolidations on the mind just now. The
imagination of the public has been so
worked up of late that rumors of the most
shadowy sort are credited in some quar
ters."
He added that a traffic management
with the Southern Pacific would be made,
so that Rock Island trains would be run
on to San Francisco to El Paso over the
Southern Pacific tracks.

KILLILEA TALKS PLAINLY
SAYS LEAGUE WILL RETALIATE
.Milwaukee Magnate Takes lime
" Willi the Statement of Bill
ings of Boston..
Special to The Journal.
Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 11. —President
Matt Killllea of the Milwaukee club thinks
Mr. Billings, of the Boston club, was very
one-sided in his views as given out the
other day in the eastern press. In speak
ing of the matter Mr. Killilea said:
In his interview Mr. Billings said, he did
not believe in the fanning system or the
selling of players, and that he thought the
players were right in making certain de
mands. He wound up by saying that the
American association, in his opinion, would
| have the best of the American League, as
the National League clubs, would turn over
ell their surplus players to the association.
Then, too, he admitted that Boston would
probably trido a few of her players. Still,
Mr. Billings says he does not believe in the
farming evil or the selling of players.
Was there ever anything more inconsistent
than the statements made by the Boston
man? He says in one line that he is
against all such methods and then turns
directly around and says the Boston club is
open for trades and sales and that the
league will practically try and force all
players not wanted by the National League
to join the association. He gives the players
to understand that he believes in their de
mands and then proceeds to throw icy water
on the whole business. There is nothing
sincere in such statements.
Xow when it is considered that the Na
tional League magnates are doing every
thing in their power to throttle the American
League, Is there any reason why the Ameri
can league should refrain from signing some
of the National League stars if the oppor
tunity was presented? Why should the Na
tional League raise a cry if the American
league takes away some of its stars? The
National League formed the association to
take away thd American league players and
cripple the organization in .every way pos
sible, so the National must not be shocked
if the American league magnates make an
effort to get seme of the bright lights of the
big league. It would be only just retalia
tion.
The American league is in the field to stay
and if the National League men think they
will force it out by using the association as
a hammer they are badly mistaken. There
is plenty of room in Philadelphia and Boston
for two clubs, but the big magnates of the
National League wanted the entire monopoly.
They are liable to change their minds now
and be willing to admit that there are others
besides themselves.

Waiting Holliater's Decision.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 11.—This has been
a busy day with the fighters. Both Ruhlin
and Jeffries entertained numerous visitors
at their training quarters.
It will be known Tuesday whether the
permanent injunction against the contest will
be granted by Judge Hollister. If he allows
the injunction the defendants will at once
appeal to the circuit court. If defeated there
they will carry the case to the supreme court,
in which event the contest will probably be
postponed for a week or two, as the supreme
court does not sit again till Feb 19

negro, was lynched at 2 o'clock this morn

this.

NOME'S RESURRECTION
Boat* in .Northern Traffic to Set Out
in April.
Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 11.—Not less than
two dozen sailing vessels will start for
Nome and Bering sea in April and May.
The sawmills on the Yukon have resumed
operations for the season and every town
between Bennett uid Dawson is building
boats and steamers. Nearly eighty ves
sels will be engaged in the Alaska traffic
during the summer, including those on
the upper and lower Yukon together with
steamers sailing on regular routes from
Puget sound.
The people of southeastern Alaska have
petitioned Senator Perkins of California
to aid them in securing a lighthouse and
other means of protection for the inside
route between Tacoma and Skaguay. The
petition sets forth that 15,000 passengers,
200,000 tons of freight and $20,000 in treas
ure are annually transported over this
route.
A Unique Musical Instrument.
The French Encyclopedia, article chant,
concisely narrates the history of a whim
sical procession which was displayed at
Brussells in 1549. A part of the show
consisted of a car, in which was an or
gan played on by a bear. Instead of pipes
this instrument contained a collection of
cats, each confined separately in a kind
of narrow case, so that they could not
move, but their tails were held upright
and attached to the Jacks in,, such a man
ner that when the bear touched the keys
he pulled the tails of the parties In
closed and produced a most mellifluous
mewing and wailing, in the C clef, w« sup
pose, treble, counter tenor and tenor; the
organist himself, perhaps, being invited
by the same machinery, utters a bass
accompaniment. When it comes to unique
musical specialties, however, this will be
more than excelled at the grand military
minstrel show given by the Roosevelt
Marching Club at the Lyceum Theater on
Feb. 25 and 26.
