BLOOD WILL TELL. No Better Way of Determining One's Physical Condition. Impure Blood Denotes a Dis ordered System. _____ How to Gain Health and Purify this Life-Generating Fluid. Pure blood means good health. ** Impure blood leads to sickness and death. Impurities of the blood that can be seen externally, originate in some one of the great vital organs of the body. When you see a man or woman with a face that is covered with blotches, pimples, or eruptions you may be sure that they are Buffering internally from some terrible affec tion. Such cases on investigation will be found to be most serious. People who die from impure blood when examined after death disclose the fact that tiio kidneys had been eaten away by de structive ulcerations. The stomachs of such victims are found to be covered with terri ble and virulent penetrating ulcers. The liver of such sufferers will have hardened, and will bo found to be absolutely disabled bo that it was unable during life to perform its functions. Doctors find on examination that the lungs and the heart in such cases have always become affected. Do not go another day with 'your blood filled with impurities. This is the time of year when you can best gel rid of such troubles.** Nature is endeavoring to help you discard all obnoxious secretions from your blood. You should help her. -7. Take Dr. Greeno's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. It counteracts the terrible poisons that already exist. It stops their formation. It expels from the body through the natural channels those that are already prepared to create havoc. It gives health and strength to each and every one of the vital organs. it cures all of these great life-centres of ths damage that lias already been done them from these terrible blood poisons, and it gives strength and a healthy tone to the nerves. Mr. Lncien Rodd, Whitehall, N.Y., 6ays : Some years ago I suffered very greatly from insomnia, nervous prostration, and my body was covered with sores, causing me great pain and annoyance. -My head was so covered with sores that I was hardly able to comb it, and to brush it was impossible, so great was the pain occasioned. I consulted local physicians without, success or benefit. I was told that my disease was incurable, and had about come to the same conclusion myself, and had made up my mind to go to a hospital and await death. At this time I learned of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, which I began to use. This remedy entirely relieved and cured me, healed and dried up my sores, enabled mo to sleep soundly and comfortably, and re stored me to my ordinary vigor and vitality; in short, it made a sound, well man out of me so that I was fully able to work at my occupation, and have done so since that time." • The above statement was made voluntarily and sworn to and subscribed before the Hon. Wm. H. Tefft, a notary public resid ing at Whitehall, N.Y. If there is any one who may feel that they have special complications, we would recom mend that such avail themselves of Dr. Greene's generous offer and write to him or rail on him at his office, 35 W. 14th St., New York City. . The advice that this eminent specialist will give absolutely free will he found to be of untold value. FAILURES FOE FEBRUARY. Dun's Monthly Report of t'ommer- einl Mortality.

AUSTRIAN REICHSRATH. Comparatively llulet Session Was Held Yesterday. VIENNA, Feb. 28.—A mob' of 1,500 un employed clerks made a noisy demonstra tion this afternoon In favor of the young Czechs and Radicals in front of the Reichsrath building. The police dispers ed them. The session of the reichsrath opened in comparative quiet after , the president had appealed to the members not to force him to resort to a more vigorous enforcement of the rules. Five hours of today's session were /aken up with obstructive speeches by th/ Czechs, then the president ordered a secret session.to read certain interpel lations, which bad been objected to. These probably referred to the indul gences of the Roman Catholics and to the confiscation of an anti-Catholic news paper. UNION MINERS BARRED.

PAUL & Dl- LUTH CONSOLIDATION INVESTIGATED • ASKS FOR A JOINT COMMITTEE Absorption by Northern Pacific of the Only lnue-iemlent Route From Duluth Displease* Lnc-Qui Parle Mini. A concurrent resolution was intro duced in the house yesterday by Repre sentative Jacobson, calling for the ap pointment of a joint senate and house committee, consisting of one from the upper and two from the lower brar-ch, to examine into the consolidation of the St. Paul & Duluth and the Northern Pacific railroads last June. The document recites in detail, the de cision of the former state railroad and warehouse commission, In which the sale of the Duluth road to the Northern Pa cific was held to be illegal, because of the fact that the two lines were parallel and competing. '.", - "TV Continuing, the resolution says: "And, Whereas,. The board of railroad and warehouse commls:i.ners of the state of Minnesota thereupon commenced an action in the courts of this state to set aside the said sale and transfer,'and to prevent such consolidation, and alleged among other things that said sale was il legal and contrary to the statutes in such case made and provided, and was detrimental to the best interests of the state, and therefore wholly void and with out effect: and. "Whereas, The board of railroad and ! warehouse commissioners did, on the i 12th day of September, 11WJ. without going | to trial, consent to a dismissal of said j action, the alleged consideration for such I dismissal being a memorandum signed by I the president of the Northern Pacific j Railroad company; and, -» 'Whereas, Gov. Lind, in his biennial I message to this legislature, after reciting ! some of the facts in the case, advised ' that we take' formal action in the prem i iscs." The object of the resolution then fol lows and includes a proviso that the com mittee thus appointed be authorized to send for persons and papers and to ad minister oaths in the prosecution of their work. Mr. Jacobson appends a memorandum to his resolution, in which he says: - "if it shall be found that the consoli dation is illegal and the old corporation of the St. Paul & Duluth Railroad com pany Is either unable, owin_* to the dis solution, or unwilling, if alive, to operate its road in accordance with its charter, the statute provides a remedy. The at torney ' general can commence an action to take possession of the road in the name of the state, and the state can either operate It or dispose of it, to be run as an independent line, with the usual restrictions governing other roads. "But the question which mostly inter ests the people of the state is the effect the consolidation, if allowed to stand, will have on the freight rates for the fu ture. The old St. Paul & Duluth railroad has for years been regarded by the peo ple of the state as the most direct and independent outlet for the surplus farm produce between the Twin Cities and Du luth, the only lake port. This independ ent outlet has now been absorbed by one of its (.Id competitors, the Northern Pacific, and when the friendly relations that are now known to exist between the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern, which owns one of the other outlets be tween the Twin, Cities and Duluth, are considered, it is apparent that there is only one outlet as far as competition is concerned, where there formerly were three. The question then becomes of such a serious nature, and the possible consequences are fraught w th such grave •import that if there is still a remedy in existence it should be utilized and ap plied in the most effective manner." HEAR BOTH SIDES. Beltrami County . Delegation and Lumbermen Present Their Cases. The senate and house joint judiciary committee held, a session yesterday afternoon and listened' to 7 arguments from residents of Beltami county, their counsel, lumbermen doing business in that, county and : also . from counsel for the latter respecting the present'state of bankruptcy in that county, reports of which have been fully, made . in the Globe. Discussion centered on the bill of Senator McCarthy which provides for increasing the limit of indebtedness and legalizing .certain acts of the resi dents in overstepping the bounds of law respecting the amount of indebtedness, which the county could incur.' . - Judge Hicks, of Minneapolis, appeared in behalf of the lumbermen. His argu ment was similar, to. that which has been already advanced, and published. >He maintained that* the lumbermen have been paying their just proportion of tax ation and that the citizens violated the law in plunging the county into 'debt; \ . Attoney A. Y. Merrill, of Minneapolis, who represented the .county, held that the people were forced by stress 'of,cir cumstances to go beyond the legal lim itation of indebtedness, since-the' max imum amount 1"of 'taxation,' $20,000, ' al lowed by law for all purposes, was ab solutely insufficient to meet the require ments. - V. ■" Officers of the county and others are to be heard and the committee was unable to take decisive action on the bill. -- ' TAX ON BICYCLES. Bill to Help Build Side Paths Reaches the House. The house session yesterday was rather perfunctory, due,; largely to the absence of so many members. Some had gone to visit the state normals at Moor head and St. Cloud and others went to pay their, respects to the soldiers' home. Mr. Hurd, in the -absence of Speaker Dowllng, occupied the chair.' A bill framed by the St. Paul Cycle Path association was introduced by Mr. Hurd. It- provides that any county or city may construct cycle: paths at Its discretion and for "their maintenance levy a tax of 50 cents upon every wheel. A fine of $25 and $50 is imposed upon all! persona riding upon the paths without a license. The bill will invite consider able support, especially * from the Twin Cities and apparently stands good chances of passing. - - Among the more important .measures introduced was one from- Mr. Rich, which provides an appropriation of 590,100 to the board of managers of the state fair association for the pupose of erecting necessary buildings ;at the state fair grounds..-It is proposed to ex pend $12,000 for the provision of adequate water supplies for protection against - fire; $-17,000 for an agricultural :bulldk«g* slo,ooo for a macinefy hall, and $21,000 for a live stock amphitheater.

CLOUD REFORMATORY LIKELY TO BE OUSTED :V. C. S. BENSON AFTER THE PLACE Has Heen Recommended by the Min nesota Delegation nt Washing -1 ton Through Intercession of Page Morris. V C. S. Benson, of St. Cloud, was In the city yesterday, making a particular call upon Gov. Van Sant. Mr. Benson la slated to become the superintendent of the state reformatory at St. Cloud and his mission was' in the interest of that ambition. It is generally believed by those able to judge, that the present superintendent, Frank D. - Randall, formerly of Winona, who was appointed during Gov. Lind's administration to succeed Mr. Holton. who resigned, will be-removed notwithstanding the fact that the present board of directors of the Institution who have the appointive power, has a Democratic- majority in membership. Mr. Benson has received the Indorse ment of many of the influential citizens for the place. He has been indorsed by the Minnesota congressional delegation at Washington through the "intercession of Congressman Morris. For many years Mr. Benson has been chairman of the Sixth district congressional Repub lican committee and this naturally gives him a strong backing. from Morris.-- Mr. Benson is a St. Cloud business man, having been a long time resident of that city. He has been at the head of several of the prominent business con. cerns, such as the water works and electric company and the street car sys tem. While there may 'be some slight oppo sition it is pretty certain that the Daugherty . plan for reapportionment, adopted by the committee, will pass both houses. Hennepin threatens still to cause! some interference, but this will of course be trivial. Mr. Larson, of Redwood county, may submit a plan, but it is doubtful if he can acquire any material strength fort- his proposition. The fact Is, the Daugherty plan is the Republican machine plan and it was pre destined *'or success long before the committee was appointed. The delibera tions of the committee were in reality mere formalities. Not the slightest change .was made in the plan from the time the committee first, met. and no power may now be expected to gain suf ficient momentum to head oft this means of dividing the state into nine new dis tricts. Republicans are overwhelming in their support of it. The subcommittee appointed to frame the bill embodying the plan of reap portionment, held a conference with the Ramsey County Bar association yester day afternoon relative to legal techni calities that should be made in the bill' before its introduction. lhe measure has not yet been completed. Senators Young and Lord and Repre sentatives Anderson, Whltford, and Al ford yesterday met with the Ramsey County Bar association as a subcom mittee to confer as to what amendments should be made that would provide for the technical legality of the measure, to bo introduced embodying this plan. The three gentlemen who are to frame and introduce the bill are Senator Young and Representatives Hymes and Jacobson. It Is rumored that the three men whom Gov. "Van Sant appointed to make inves tigations as to the board of control In neighboring states, C. A. Morey, W. E. Lee and ex-Senator W. A. Leavitt, will constitute the board in this state should the bill providing for such an institution become a law. Messrs. Lee and Morey are Republicans and Senator Leavitt a Democrat , * * * Chairman Victor E. Lawson, of the state central committee of the People's party, has called a meeting of that or-; ganization for this evening at the Mer chants' hotel. The future of the party in. this state will be discussed and matters of general interest attended to. The G1 ob c's prediction . that Gen. Childs would. be chairman of the new state tax commission, gains confidence daily and is now announced by other sources. HOUSE BREVITIES. Mr. Grass .-introduced .'a bill which, amends the law relating, to the. settle ment of the affairs of a defunct corpora tion. .. Instead of having these matters take the-process of going through the at torney general's office," as the law now provides, he proposes to reduce the • lat ter's duties by handing such matters over to the jurisdiction of the - district court. A bill from Mr. Bush, provides an alter native in the penalty of any one violating the ■ pure food manufacture law which now imposes a fire of from $1,000 to $2,000. His bill provides a jail sentence of from thirty" to forty days. - The Rich bill to place the surveyor, gen erals of logs and.lumber oh a salary basis has been referred back to the author for amendments. ' •■■•'.-' Several hundred citizens from Grant county yesterday petitioned the house against the Chilton meat inspection bill, which seems to be constantly Increasing in unpopularity. Mr. Stark, of Chisago, who stated on the floor of the house that he was the lightest member there, has a rather light way of addressing the chair. Yesterday while ( Mr. Hurd was performing the du ties of speaker the member from Chisago whistled at him. Whether It was -done in retaliation or not may be a question, but a few minutes afterward, when gen eral orders were reached, Mr. Hurd call ed Mr. Stark to the chair. But he did not avail himself of the precedent. NEW HOUSE BILLS. H.

SENTATIONS ■' ASKS FOR TRUTHFUL REPORTS Careful Rending; of Ills Dill, How ever, FnJln to Show Where He Got the Worst of It. An aftermath of" Wednesday's discus sion of the Burns-Thompson bill in the senate, was the ..action of Senator Thompson in arising to a ques tion of personal privilege- yes terday and scoring the press reports o.i the debate upon the measure. The gen tleman from Fillmore rebuked the press hi general and paid his compliments" in particular to the Pioneer Press. He characterized reports of the debate as misrepresenting and unfair. He said that the country papers rely largely upon the pres3 of the city for their in formation with regard to the actions ot the legislature, and that if these reports were unfair, the lawmakers suffer. He thought that the senate should devise some means of obtaining fair reports. "If the reporters have not brains enough," he said, "to give honest re ports (which I think they have, they generally mean to be fair.) we should employ other means of getting fair treatment." " ■ .*■• A careful reading of the reports re ferred to, in every paper represented at the legislature, shows an exact and con scientious regard for the truth. The de bate was reported as it occurred. There were running comments in certain eases, and but no misrepresentations of fact. In a nutshell, ' the i Thompson-Burns bill extends to private individuals the same rights now enjoyed by corpora tions, to erect telegraph and telephone poles and string wires from them on the. roads and byways-of the state. The recent decisions of Judge Lochren, of the United States^elrtjuit court, and of Judge Cant, of the ; district court at Du luth, interpret the words "roads and byways"' legally to include !in their . meaning, the streets;J&venues and alleys of a.city. For fotty" years cities have been disposing of their franchises to companies, or denying them permission to use their streets, through their com mon council. The*tec|nt decisions affect this privilege on tlge Hart of municipali ties. As the law .no-* reads " and is in terpreted, telephone and telegraph com panies may enter *7«aty and usurp any of its streets wit»ut| permission :of -the city's governing poj^^ft -: . JUST A FARMERS' MEASURE. The Thompson-Burns bill, extends this privilege beyond tywjpgratlons to provide individuals and aggravates the helpless ness of cities in (.toe iter. Tlie Bald win amendment offered Wednesday pro vided that in cities of - 50,000 inhabitants or over consent of the common Council or governing power of such cities should he obtained before entrance of the com pany, for purposes of - Using' the streets, should be permitted.'l Senator Thompson protested that his bill is •' a farmers' measure pure and simple. Everybody In the- senate' and those who were ln the chamber at the time of the debate, agree that the measure is to Senator Thompson's mind, purely as he states it. He frankly admits "that'• he wants to avoid a squabble j-ji between companies. He says that "they"" have threatened to kill his pet measure if it is mill-stoned with amendments."!-j§ In *& vain,> Senator.. Baldwin, tried to make it clear to him and to others that the proposed amend ment would not affect, the bill in any way except for. the protection of cities already placed too much at the mercy of corporations by the law, as interpreted.' The amendment would not at all. have interfered with the bill's provisions rel ative to the rights of country folks to .string-. < wires. all along country byways and public roads. Senator Thompson has one idea, which he reiterates. .It is f that.--he->wants to save ..his hill. He is willing to support any separate bill giv ; ing to cities any of. the privileges they want; he simply., doesn't, want . any amendments such as that proposed by the Duluth senator tacked on to his measure; he. doesn't want to Incur any enmity; he is willing to support any other measure; but wants his measure to pass unamended. <V ; The bill, which is a! very brief one, Is given for the information of | the many who are interested: in It,, and is unim portant, except when viewed in the light { of -the recent: judicial- decisions.

They were willing to have all meats inspected, but did not want the burden of fees Imposed in ad dition to those already carried. NEW SENATE BILLS. S.

Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail road, at their monthly meeting in this city today recommended an increase of 10 per cent in the capital stock of the company to provide . $4,300,000 to pay for the Kansas City cut-off and reimburse the company's treasury for $4,127,128 cap ital . expenditures. The proposed issue will be entirely in • common stock, amounting to 88.153 shares. Both common and preferred stockholders of record of March 11 can subscribe to the new stock at par, but holders of the various bond issues which are convertible into pre ferred stock are debarred from the priv ilege. . - - it was explained at the office of the company that according to the rules gov erning the various mortgages, which are convertible into the preferred stock, no tices of the intention to do so must be given within from ten to fifteen days after a dividend has been declared and payable on the preferred stock. As the semi-annual dividend on the common and preferred stock of the road is not pay able until April, and as the offer to pro cure the new stock at • par only holds good until: March 11, the mortgage hold ers with- convertible privileges are thus unable to take advantage of. the offer.

BISMARCK, N. D., Feb. .Special.)— The senate yesterday passed a two-tenths mill special tax for a wolf bounty after a rather warm debate. The bill will prob ably have a hard fight in the house, but promises to pass. The primary election bill has gone over to the committee of the whole in the senate, and it is generally expected it will be killed in committee. The house passed the bill prohibiting the sale of game birds. All the senate bills were referred in the house, and a large number of minor measures were disposed of in both houses. The steering committee in both houses have taken charge of all bills, and new business will be shut off March 1, unless by unanimous consent. Gov. White approved the reap portionment bill, and it is now a law. There has been considerable said in the valley papers about he prevalence of smallpox in this city, and a great ado has been made of it until ha f the mem bers of the legislature were ready, on their return from the recess, to pass the appropriation bills and make their es cape. It has been found, however, that there Is a needless excitement in other -parts of the state over what many doubt to be the smallpox. None of the cases have been at all serious, and these which have been sent to the house of detention have hardly been in bed, and are reported having the finest kind of jack rabbit hunting on the outskirts of the city. The health authorities have dene all that good sense would dictate, and in two cases where there was danger of infection a strict quarantine has been enforced, and there is little danger of anything further.

Fleming, Attorney Stambaugh, James Kennedy, Mrs. de Lendrecie, Miss Preston and many other parties of prom inence from Cass county are on deck to see the.last days of the session. -Cashel's primary election law v. as the subject of interesting parliamentary de bate in the senate, over the adoption of the majority and minority reports. Both reports were thrown out, and after many dilatory meetings had been disposed of the matter went over to a committee of the whole for action today. Friends of the bill claim opponents hope to defeat the bill without going on record with a roll call, and a very interesting flght is promised. Senator Taylor's medical bill was trot ted out again with a section eliminated which shut out the practice of Christian science, osteopathy, magnetic healing, etc., but was sidetracked till today. Representative Leech has withdrawn his divorce bill, as the opposition was too strong. The house passed a bill for bonds for a twine plant at the peniten tiary; also a bill allowing the designa nation of two papers In one town as of ficial; also a bill allowing a charge of fees in the state land department. If this becomes a law- the department will be come self-supporting. March 1 was made the last day for the introduction of bills in the house. .-.-..
