rw^^misi WINONA SENATOR SECURES RE CONSIDERATION OF BILL. Objects to Authority Given a Bethel Society to Dispose of Children Put in Its OareSays Personal Bights Are Subserved to Property Bights. i By one of the most eloquent pleas made in the legislature this session, Senator P. Fitzpatrick of Winona to day secured reconsideration of H. F.suchthat 166, by Representative Hugo of Duluth, after the measure had been passed, and ftKd it again placed on general orders tor further consideration in committee of the whole. The bill provides for the adoption of abandoned and dependent children com ing into the custody of a Bethel society maintaining a rescue home for unfor tunate women. Senator Fitzpatrick explained that* on petition of the society, the probate nudge must summon witnesses and no tify the county attorney to appear for the society. No provision is made for the mother to have legal aid. If the couit finds it a case of abandonment, it must turn the child over to the so ciety for disposal or binding out, as it pleases, without consideration of theoff." mother or further reference to the court. "We talk about 'inalienable rights,' said Senator Fitzpatrick. "What rights are more sacred than those of a parent to a child? It's a lamentable fact that we seem to be drifting to a condition where property alone has consideration of rights. '.'If a woman had a horse, a poodle dog, or a certificate of deposit, not a man of this senate would dare to make disposition of it. But when it comes to disposing of the rights of parents, it seems to oe different. "There is a law which says, 'thou shalt honor thy father and thy mother.' I think we ought to ^o slow before we try to repeal the Ten Commandments or any one of them." Senator Lavbourn, in support of the bill, said it was indorsed by the hu manitarians of Duluth for the advance ment of the good work being done by the Duluth Bethel society. He failed to stem the tide created by the Winona senator's eloquence. The vote by which it had passed was reconsidered and the bill placed on general orders, 25 to 19. More Talk on Primary Bill. The bill of the elections committee, F. 363, providing that three candi dates for each state office shall be nominated by party state conventions end then submitted at a primary elec tion for the people to select one from each of the three, came near death fdr a second time, but was once more res cued by "the man behind the bill," Senator George R. Laybourn of Duluth. Senator Laybourn said the vote on the bill put a straight issue before the senators did they want the people to nominate state officers, or simply the re spective parties to do so? Senator Calhoun replied: I believe in the voice of the people, but I do not believe in this bill. It is safer for us +o stand on a firmly tested rock where v\e are, than to jump into an abyss of theorv Senator Lord suggested that progress be reported. What's the use of monkeying along with it?" said Senator Calhoun. Declares Lord Next Nominee. "Mr. Chairman," said Senator Lay bourn, "in accordance with the request of the next candidate for governor, I Dr. Lyman Beecher Sperry Says Good Health and Activity for Century and Half Are Possible, Johann Arnold, Reading, Pa., 103 years old: "Duffy's Pure Malt Whis kev is a godsend to the aged."

F.Minnesota. 57, came up in committee of the whole. Its author moved for a recommendation that the bill pass. Senator Thompson objected. He said that two years ago the legislature had created a second hatchery. Two hatcheries would supply all the fry needed. He did not believe in creating a third fish hatchery just to satisfy a local demand for a state in stitution in Crow Wing county. "The senator does not seem to beGeorge consistent," said Senator Wood. "If I remember correctly, a few days ago Senator Thompson advocated a rattle snake bounty bill so that rattlesnakes in his neighborhood might be killed The senate then voted to refer the bill to the finance committee, as it car ries an appropriation of $25,000. Senators Will Beceive Badger Solons. The senate concurred the house res olution for appointment of a joint com mittee to receive the Wisconsin law makers and Lieutenant Governor Jones appointed on the committee Senators Cole, Laugen, E. E. Smith, Hawkins, Alley, McGill and Collester. WILL RAISE FIGURE Appropriations Committee Will Not Stand for Board's Limit on "U." The joint subcommittee on framing the omnibus bill has organized "by elect ing Senator Brower of St. Cloud chair man and Representative W. H. Putnam of Eed Wing secretary. The commit tee has begun to discuss the detail of the bill. It is considered certain that the com mittee will make a more liberal pro vision for the main building at the uni versity than the $250,000 recommended by the board of control. This amount was put in the skeleton bill introduced by W. P. Eoberts Saturday, but that was only a temporary draft. SALARY INVESTIGATION Special Committee Will Begin Work on Offices. The special house committee to inWlchman. vestigate the salary and fee incomes of state officers met yesterday after noon. It was decided to secure infor mation especially on the offices of the surveyors general of logs and lumber, the clerk or the supreme court, the oil inspector and the private secretary to the governor. It is understood that this investigation was started on theStock, suggestion of Speaker Clague. The usual process of elimination is fol lowed, for the bills introduced call for appropriations to meet the amount of $200,000 or more, while there is only about $50,000 in the fund. Dr. Osier'sTheory Wrong! Age of Man 150 Years There are over 4,000 Man and Women In the United State* Over 100 Yean Old, Who Have Retained Their Faculties, Vigor and Usefulness by Using Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey as Their Only Medicine. STEPHEN JOYCE, OP WACO, TEXAS, WHO BY THE RECORDS IS 149 YEARS OLD, SAYS: "I find that with advancing years a stimulant such as Paul recommended to Timothy prevents the infirmities of old age. My only Medicine is Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey." The startling statement made by Dr. William Osier in a recent address delivered in Baltimore, which he advanced the absurd theory that men cease to be at their best after the age o 40, and that their usefulness had entirely departed at 60, has called down more adverse criticism than any proposition ever formulated by the medical profession. Had Dr Osier taken the trouble to probe a little deeper before making his rash statement he would have discovered that during the past fifty years nearly 4,000 hale and hearty old men and women have reached and passed the century mark, and in nearly every instance their vigorous health and continued useful- ness in old age are due to the regular use of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. Dur- ing the same period the unequaled record has been made of over 4,000,000 cures throughout the world wherein the most prominent doctors of every school have prescribed Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey as the greatest tonic stimulant known to medicine. In proof of this statement there are given herewith a few extracts picked at random from many thousands of testimonials from doctors, ministers of the Gospel and old men and women who have been kept haleTind hearty by the use of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey: Mrs. Louisa Cox, Harrington, Me., 105 years old:"By the aid of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey I keep in excellent health, and am enabled to attend to all my domestic duties." Hiram Gronk, Ava, N. Y., 109 years old:"By the aid of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey I can brave, the severest weather and take extended tramps." Mrs. D. M. Eoberts, La Grange, HI., 100 years old:"It is a wonderful tonic stimulant and by its use I keep healthy and can see to thread a needle.'' Mrs. William Pratt, Chelsea, Mass., 91 years old: "It is a grand medicine and has sustained and comforted me after all else failed." Mrs. Lydia Couch, 95 years old: "Thanks to Duffy's my appetite and digestion keep good. I sleep well and my health is excellent." CAUTION.When you ask for Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, be sure you get the genuine. Unscrupulous dealers, mindful of the excellence of this prep- aration, will try to sell you cheap imitations and malt whiskey substitutes, which are put on the market for profit only, and which, far from relieving the sick, are positively harmful. Demand "Duffy's," and be sure you get it. It is the only absolutely pure medicinal whiskey, and is sold by every reliable druggist and grocer in the country, or direct in sealed bottles only. Look for the trade-mark, the "Old Chemist," on the label, and be certain the seal over the cork is unbroken. Price $1 per bottle. A COTTAG E HOM E $33011 128 W. TWENTY-SEVENTH ST.

Would Compel Assessment of Benefits Against All Private LandsPro posed Amendment Defeated and Bill Put ThruResolution Passed for Re ception of Wisconsin Legislators. An unexpected fight against state drainage developed in the nouse today when the Stephens drainage bill came up for final consideration. Thefightreto solved itself into a quarrel between northern Minnesota and the prairie country of southern and southwestern The twin city members saved the day for state drainage by de feating the amendments offered by R. L. Mork of Faribault. The amendments provided that the property benefited by state drainage be assessed for its benefits whether adjacent to state ditches or not. The intent was to kill the bill. B. ti. Bennett of Fosston led the fight for the bill, and was supported by E. Perley of Moorhead: P. E.The Dowung of St. Louis and L. H. Johnson of Hennepin. R. H. Jefferson of Cot tonwood and A. J. Rockne of Goodhue, were in charge of the opposition. When the amendments had been defeated 37 to 86 on a vive voce vote, the roll call was demanded. The vote, which was taken as a test on the whole scheme of state drainage, stood 64 for the bill and 39 for the amendments. The final vote on the bill wa,s 78 to 20, and the usual motion to reconsider was lost and the victory clinched. Character of the Bill. The Stephens bill is a practical re enacting of the Grindejand drainage bill, ih force for six years, wifh the addition that provision is made for deepening and widening ditches and small streams which have become filled up and found inadequate to carry off the water. The effect of the Mork amendment would have been to discour age the people asVing for state drain age, and the effect of the law would have been nullified. The Stephens bill carries no appropriation, but the house appropriations committee has already agreed to a $25,000 appropriation. Friends of state drainage declare that the senate committee will ask foj^,a much large appropriation than that named in Mr. Roberts' tentative ap propriation bill. The roll call on the Mork amendment was as follows: AyesAdams, Andcreffg Armstrong, Block, Carl. Dalen, De Laitre, Flower, Fraaer, 3.

An ill-timed objection to a motion to take a recess and'admit the old soldiers erans visited the legislature some weeks ago, was the excuse given by L. H.Bentd Johnson of Hennepin, for the introduc tion of a resolution, authorizing the ap pointment of a joint committee to en tertain the members of the Wisconsin legislature when they come to St. Paul late in the week to inspect the new state capitol. He would have ten house members and. seven senators on themittee committee. W. P. Roberts smelled a lavish expen diture of state money to entertain the visitors. He wanted to wait until they came, and then for the house to "re- ceive them in short order." Mr. Eob erts questioned whether the Wisconsin legislature had not been invited to visit the new Minnesota capitol by Cass Gil bert, architect of the building, who he saidv expected to get another job at Madison. I am simply trying to avoid the er ror into which the house fell when the old soldiers came here a few weeks ago," Mr. Johnson replied with much warmth. A motion was made that the house take a recess to receive the battle-scarred veterans properly. Some member, ill-advised, sprung the rules. Had he clung to his position, the house would have excluded seventy-five men whom we all honor and respect from the privileges of the floor. Seventy-flve old soldiers stood at our doors waiting for us to suspend the rules. I do not want such an unfortunate incident to occur again, and that is why I offer this resolution." Ellas Eachie, Marcus Lauritsen and others expressed the belief that the house as a committee of the whole should entertain the visitors and that there would be no expense in this plan. The Johnson resolution, which carried no appropriation, was adopted. Reconsidered Fire Warden Bill. General C. O. Andrews, chief fire war den, will have another run for his pro posed increased salary bill. The house reconsidered the vote'by which it killed the Flower bill, increasing the compen sation of the chief fire warden to $1,500. The Stone mileage book bill, also de feated Monday, was also reconsidered today and will go on general orders for amendment. The house was in a gracious mood after having put the primary election bills to sleep. Six bills of local im portance were passed under suspension of the rules. They were: Local Bills Passed. A bill by A. M. Hayes giving Dakota county jurisdiction over the Washing ton county end of abridge at Hastings the Wyman bill, to permit Anoka to exercise municipal control over certain lands used in connection with the Anoka insane asylum the Bardwell bill, giving the village of Excelsior a park board the Bardwell bill, authoriz ing unclaimed deposits with the Henne pin county clerk of court to be trans ferred to the county law library fund, and the Dunn bills, giving the St. Paul park board authority to accept money to be used for the purchase of Phalen park, and to issue bonds for the carry ing out of a plan for a driveway along the Mississippi near Fort Snelling. THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL. HOUSE KILLS ALL MEASURES EX TENDING PRINCIPLE TO STATE NOMINATIONS. Primary election reform in making state nominations will not be accom plished at this session. Five bills were taken up in the house yesterday after noon and killed, one by one. Each had its friends, but they could not unite on any one measure. A strong showing was made for the bill by John G. Lund of Hennepin, ex tending the direct primary to state offices. It received 38 votes to 67 and no other bill made such a good showing. It was opposed by practically all the city members on account of an amendment proposed by P. A. Gandrud and adopted, changing the date for the primaries from September to June. The bill by Burdett Thayer, changing the date for the primary to June, and providing for the election of delegates the county convention at that primary, was killed, 31 to 65. E. C. Dunn, late republican candiate for governor, was on the floor to urge the passage of this bill. The Elder bill fared worse yet. This measure, which provided for selecting delegates to the state convention from each county by direct vote, received only 6 votes to 81 against. John F. Selb and Ole Peterson, authors of the other bills up for con sideration, saw the handwriting on the wall, and each moved for the in definite postponement of his own bill. Selb bill provided for the instruc tion of delegates from each county ac cording to the popular vote of the coun ty on candidates for state office. The Peterson bill provided for the state convention casting a single ballot, the three candidates standing highest to go on the primary election ballot. This bill is before the senate as a commit tee bill, but is not likely to pass that body, and even if it did the house seems set against change. There was a lively debate on the five bills, the author of each one defending his measure and attacking the others. The disrupting influence of the last state convention was frequently touched upon. SHIPPERS COMPLAIN Rearing on Demurrage Bill Before Sen ate CommitteeOther Committees. The W. A Nolan reciprocal demur rage bill which haa passed the house was given a hearing yesterday after noon by the senate committee on rail roads. The author was on hand to an swer obiections. Judge A. E. Clark of Minneapolis, representing the Minne apolis & St. Louis and other^ roads, op posed the bill. He also asked permis sion to reply to all complaints when they were in. E. J. Cannon spoke for the Minnesota Shippers' association. He explained that shippers favored the bill, first, because railroads have charged demurrage on some commodi ties and have not charged it on others second, because cars are not always placed on delivery tracks with reason able promptness third, because the reciprocal credit feature of the bill, by which railroads receive credit at theroad rate of $1 per car for every car fur nished twenty-four hours sooner than the limit required in the bill and the same credit is extended to shippers who unload cars before the expiration of the time limit, will enable shippers who re ceive "bunched cars" to apply the credit accruing from unloading the first cars in twenty-four hours to the cost of the demurrage resulting from delay in unloading the last cars. William B. Lee and C. F. Miller of Long Prairie complained that at their town it was impossible to get cars with in, a reasonable time for shipping wood, hay or potatoes. They also complained tha Long Prairie, Browerville, Eagle and Berkeley were discriminated against in favor of Cass Lake and Akeley lumber shippers. The commit tee adjourned to meet at 2:30 p.m to morrow. Grain and Warehouse.House com heard protests against the Hana ford bill requiringtrack scales at ele vators from F. B. Kellogg, representing the Consolidated Elevator company of Duluth and from A. L. Searle of the Globe and Peavey companies, Duluth. Action was deferred to Thursday night.

DULUTH MEN SIGN Petition Against Demurrage Bill Gets Business Men's Signatures. Leading shippers and receivers of car load freight at Duluth today petitioned the senate not to pass H. P. 82, the Nolan reciprocal demurrage bill. The Setition was presented gy Senator eoTge E. Laybourn of Duluth, and after being read, was referred to the railroad committee, of which another Duluth member, Senator Hawkins, is chairman. The petitioners oppose the bill for the following reasons: "The aelay to cars while loading ex ceeds the delay incident to their trans portation. Under present rules, the great majority of carload freight is loaded ana unloaded within twenty-four hours without unreasonable effort on the part of the shipper or consignee, except at large terminals. The bill makes forty-eight hours the statutory minimum, which would result in tieing up for an additional twenty-four hours a large percentage of the cars avail able times of shortage, to the great detriment of shippers as a -whole "As the only source of a railway company's revenue is the movement of loaded cars, the penalties prescribed in the bill will, in our judgment, be no additional incentive to them to do what CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

The"CUREns the Bven if Mercury and Potash could cure Contagious Blood Poison, the condition in which these strong minerals leave the system would make the cure worse than the disease. But they cannot cure the vile disorder they can only cover up the evi- dences for awhile, or mask the disease in the system, and as soon as they are left off the symptoms return in all their hideousness, and the sufferer finds he has wasted valuable time, and in addition has ruined his health through the use of these harmful drugs. jj Mercury a nd PotasH eat out tne lining of the stomach a nd bowels, produce dyspepsia.. by drying up the gastric juices, affect the bones and muscles, cause the teeth to decay, A .-I on Blood Poison, and began S.

J. and suffering, with no hope for future health, are best witnesses that "THE CURB I S WORSE THAN THE DISEASE." No other disease is so vile and destructive as Contagious Blood Poison. When the virus enters the blood the entire circulation becomes poisoned, and in a short time the symp- toms begin to appear. The mouth and throat ulcerate, the hair and eyebrows fall out, the glands in the neck and groin swell, copper-colored spots appear on the flesh, and in severe cases sores break out on the body, the finger nails drop off, and the sufferer finds himself |f diseased from head to foot with the most hateful and humiliating of all poisons. Being in this diseased condition, the system should not be dosed with powerful mineral medicines that further add to the burden, but should be treated with a remedy that while removing the poison will at the same time build up and strengthen the entire body in its fight to regain health. S. S. S. is the only known antidote for Contagious Blood Poisonthe only remedy that is able to get at the root of the disease and force out every particle of the poison so that there are never aay signs of its return. It is purely vegetable, being made entirely from roots, herbs and barks, and never leaves any bad after-effects, but instead, tones up the stomach and digestion, and builds up every part of the system while it is eradicating the poison from the blood. S. S. S. will also drive out any lingering poison that may be in the blood from the use of Mercury and Potash. It is the only safe cure for Contagious Blood Poison, whether in its incipiency or advanced stages. Thousands have been cured by it after trying the mineral treatment, Hot Springs and everything else. Do not complicate the disease and add another poison to the blood, or risk per- manently ruining your health by using these harmful drugs, but begin the use of S. S.
