How this may be accomplished is now the subject of inquirv and reflection. The postmaster general and his^sub ordmates in charge of the service^pfave been holding frequent consultations for several months. Various plans have been proposed and some of them have been recommpnded to congress. Delivery of Merchandise. The proposition receiving the greatest amount ot attention at present relates to the delivery of merchandise to as sisting the farming population to pur chase supplies and have them delivered at their doorsteps. The government delivers information and intelligence, but not merchandise in any quantity, as the taxj which amounts to 16 cents per pound in postage is piohibitive. It is very much larger than is charged for the same service in the European coun tries. Originally, rural delivery carriers were allowed to carry passengers, bag gage, parcels, etc., in their convevanees, and to do shopping for the farmers' families along their routes. It was a great accommodation to the people. A farmers'' wife could, send to town any day for a spool of thread or a ponud of coffee or sugar. It was not com pulsory on the part of thee, carrier and he was allowed to charge fees for his services. Jealous and spiteful mer chants who were not patronized com plained to members of congress and they made trouble about it and fre quently filed charges so that the depart ment was very much annoyed. In or der to satisfy these grumblers the en tire 30,000 carriers were put under the ban. Would Please Public. It is believed that if rural delivery carriers were allowed to accept com missions find do errands which they could do without interfering with their regular duties, the public convenience would be served and the revenues of the department would be largely in creased.

Consensus of Opinion at Mass Meeting Is That Park Board Should Be Com pelled to Fulfill Its Part of the Agree ment to Maintain Street as a Boule vard. Hennepin avenue as a parkway was the subieet of discussion at a mass meeting held last evening at Grace Presbvterian church to protest against the abandonment of that thorofare as a parkway. There was only one opinion among those present and that /was that the park board should be compelled to fulfill its part of the agreement to main tain the street as a boulevard. A com mittee consisting of S. C. Confer, J. H. Riheldaffer, Judge F. C. Harvey, S. S. Martin and Benjamin Webb, was del egated to ascertain what steps could be taken to bring the matter into the courts. Judge F. C. Harvey spoke at some length on the history of Hennepin ave nue as a parkway, and stated that af ter the board" had obtained control of the street from Lowry Hill to Lake street it was widened by taking an eleven-foot strip from each side. With the exception of a few lots the land was deeded to the park board without other compensation than that the abut ting property should forever be exempt from special assessments for street 1m provements. In 1893 the supreme court, in a de cision, held that a public highway could not be taken for a parkway from which ordinary traffic could be ex cluded. The board did its best to live up to its agreement for a number of years, but the heavy traffic ruined all its improvements and the condition of the street soon became deplorably bad. Being unable to" pave the street and not having the means to keep it in repair, the board, .after negotiating with the city council over the transfer of the street and reaching no conclu sion, ielinquished its authority. The# position of the park board is that it has no authority to use money raised for park purposes for maintain ing traffic streets. The meeting was attended by Secre tary J. A. Eidgway of the park board, Aldermen E. W. Clark and Piatt B. Walker of the eighth ward, and Alder man A. E. Merrill of the fourth. CROWDS NEXT SUMMER Minneapolis Will Be Filled With Visi tors at National Gathering. Few cities of the United States will be in a class with Minneapolis next summer when it comes to visitors. The city is "becoming more and more of a summer resort, and in addition will have thousands of visitors on account of the G. A. E. encampment and other national gatherings that are to convene here. George L. Ehodes of the West ern Passenger association places the number of visitors that may be ex pected during encampment week alone at between 200,000 and-250,000. Last year was also a successful sea son according to Mr. Ehodes. The Min neapolis validation office had applica tion for 14,284 validations of round trip transportation between June 1 and Nov. 1. In addition many visited the city on one-way transportation or came in over lines not in the association. Most of those who came on round-trip transportation spent considerable time in the city either for pleasure or to look about for business openings. OF MUSICAL PARENTAGE Walter Damrosch's Father and Mother Both Distinguished Artists. Walter Damrosch# conductor of the New York Symphony orchestra which appears tomorrow evening at the Audi torium, comes of distinguished musical parentage. His father was Dr. Leo pold Damrosch, the famous German composer and conductor, and intimate friend of Wagn'er and Liszt. Walter Damrosch's mother, Helene von Hoim burg, was a celebrated singer of Ger man songs, particularly those of Schu bert and Schumann. The program for the concert tomor row evening includes one of Tschaikow sky's symphoniesthe fifthfor Wal ter Damrosch is considered by many the greatest American interpreter of the fa mous Eussian composer and Tsehaikow sky left to him the score of his Sympho ny Pathetique. It is interesting to note that altho Mr. Damroscn used the regulation ba ton when he began conducting, twenty years ago, today he uses on'ly a little stick about the size of a lead pencil, to indicate the time, and even that is merged sometimes into the mere glance of the eye or the lifting of a finger, so tho'roly has the orchestra been trained. SEWER ROUTE CHANGED Council Committee Cancels Order for Line on Douglas Avenue. Owners of property on Knox avenue between Douglas and Lincoln avenues appeared before the council committee on sewers yesterday afternoon to urge the annulment of the assessments for sewer on Douglas avenue from Knox to James, and made such a strong show ing that the committee annulled the sewer. It is the contention of the ma jority of the residents of the city that the sewer should be laid south on Knox avenue to Franklin and thence to the Lake of the Isles sewer. This plan was supported by Aldermen A. E. Merrill and Starkweather of the fourth ward. The Douglas avenue sewer, it was ar gued, would benefit only one man, while the substitute plan would accommodate many. MONEY FROM ORE State Funds Get Large Sums for Sea sen of 1905. Iron ore royalties collected by the state during 190# amounted to $145,409, practically double the receipts from that source in 1904, which "were $73,000. The year's business was much the larg est the state has had, but 1906 is ex pected to surpass the record, as some other valuable properties have been stripped and will be operated this-sea son. In addition to the royalty for ore actually taken out, the state received during '"the year $6,100 in minimum royalties on leases that were not worked. STRONG SHOW AT THE DEWEY.

H3 Road Makes No Answer to Charges Made by Chicago Commercial Asso ciation to the Effect that Road Has Offered Kansas City Dry Goods Mer chants Reduced Rates. Chicago, Jan. 23.Chicago Commer cial association members and railway men are puzzled over the attitude of the Chicago Great Western railway in legard to the jjhafges made against its officers by the Commercial association. A meeting of railway men and mem bers of the Commercial association with the officers of the Great Western was scheduled yesterday at the rooms of the Western Trunk line committee, but the Great Western did not appear and the meeting was adiourned to a later date. It is asserted by the Ghieago busi ness men that the city's trade is en dangered by the reduced rates on dry goods offered to Kansas City mer chants by the Great Western. The Wabash was alsb involved in the charges at first, Taut seems to have cleared itself successfully. The Specific Accusation. Specifically, the road is accused of making a rate of 39 cents a hundred pounds on dry goods of the first class and 22% cents on goods of the second class from the Mississippi river to Kan sas City, which would make the rate on first-class goods from the east to Kansas City $1.26 a hundred, while Chicago merchants pay $1.55. Accord ing to the report which reached the Commercial association, the accused road wag endeavoring to complete a con tract with several of the merchants of TCansas City to deliver goods on the tariff for five years. It said that the contracts had progressed so far that the merchants had signed them, and to com plete the agreement only the signatures of the officers of the road were needed. Immediately upon the receipt of this information at the office of the Com mercial association steps were taken to prevent the completion of the contracts. A letter of inquiry was also sent to St. Paul, the headquarters of the- road. Sat urday a delegate for the association fol lowed the letter and had a long con ference with the freight officials. The result was a statement by the Great Western officers that "we will investi gate these charges." No denial or confirmation of the report could be ob tained. A Staggering Blow. Chicago merchants and railway men who have been connected with the affair sav that if any action has been taken by the Great Western it will mean a staggering blow to Chicago commer cial interests. Eepresentatives of the freight department of most of the west ern roads are of the opinion that the report is correct. H. C. Harlow of the Commercial association said yesterday: "Chicago dry goods merchants direct ly and Other business men indirectly, would lose many thousands by such an arrangement. As 'things now stand, rates to the two points are equalized and neither city suifers but if sas City could sell 'tmfJ same goodKan- as the Chicago merchants* at a much re duced figure, all the trade west of the river would at once go to them." Just what steps would be taken in case the Great Western should put the rates into effect was not stated.- It is intimated that the railroad cannot af ford to incur the enmity of the. Chi cago merchants. RAILROAD NOTES.

SMALLPOX SCARCE Only a Sprinkling of Cases Now Found in thd State. There are only a few cases of small pox now exisitmg in Minnesota, at a time of year when the epidemic is usually at its height.

Men and women of every occupation overtax the kidneys and suffer daily miseries when the kidneys begin to fail. Any work that is a constant strain on the back is bound to hurt the kidneys. The lifting, digging and planting of farm work, the constant bending over a desk or sitting at a sewing machine, working for hours on jarring, jolting wagons or railroad trains the stooped positions and the reaching, pulling and heavy lifting of a hundred different tradesall these are hard on the back and must wear, weaken and injure the kidneys, because the kidneys are in the very part of the back that feels the strain. When the kidneys are sick, every exertion sends a sharp, stinging pain through the back or loins, and you are weary and tired all the time. Many tasks, like housework, that do not require great physical strength, are Yery trying on the "back and kidneys. That is why backache is so common. That is why so many women are un naturally weak and tired and sleep less. Doan's Kidney Pills have cured thousands of working men and women have "given them strong backs for their daily work. Doan's Kidney Pills help the kidneys to do their dutyto eliminate the liquid poisons from the ALLOWANCE ON CODE The state commission in charge of publishing the revised statutes has al lowed the new contractors an additional $350, on' account of a change in the plans. The plates will be electrotyped instead of stereotyped, for the reason that the contractors are not in a posi tion to get stereotyping done.* The change will be of benefit, however, as the plates will be in better condition after running off the 3,000 copies. The total cost or the edition to the state will now be $9,350. A rich man died the other day. He died In the very midsummer of life, and he left his family $1,000,000. The doctor's certifi- cate showed that death resulted from typhoid fever. The doctor himself said to a friend: "That man was a suicide. He had a splendid constitution. I could have pulled him through if his stomach had been sound. But he ruined his stomach by hasty meals, snatched in Inter vals of business and by neglect of symp toms which have been warning him a year past, that his stomach was failing in its duties." The symptoms of a disordered stomach are, among others, variable appetite, sour risings, heartburn, undue fullness after eating, dull headache, dingy complexion, discolored eye, fluctuations in physical strength, nervousness, sleeplessness de pendency. No person will have all these symptoms at once. The restoration of the stomach to sound health, begins with the first dose of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. The cure progresses until the functions of the stomach are in healthy operation. Then the nerves are and strong, the ap- Eright,healthful,quiet etite the sl6ejp restful, the eye the complexion clear. "Please accept mj thanks for the benefit which my child received from your medi- cine," writes Mrs. W. A. Morgan, of Silica, Mo. "He had been troubled for nearly a year with liver complaint, indigestion and constipation. I gave him your 'Golden Medical Discovery' and 'Pleasant Pellets,* and they did him great good. I gave him the 'Discovery* about eight months, an several vials of the' Pellets.' He seems be perfectly well now." If you want a cure accept nob substitute for "Golden Medical Discovery." *3V..#.

Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon pergonal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputa- ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Califomian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the CompanyCalifornia Fig Syrup Co.plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required. AN EVERY-DAY STRUGGLE.

We would sincerely advise every man or woman whose work is hard on the back to take an occasional dose of Doan's Kidney Pills. It will keep the kidneys well and the back strong, and keeping the kidneys well is half the task of keeping the body well. MINNEAPOLIS PEOOF. D. N. Bostwick, conductor on the M. & St. Paul R. R., and living at 2539 Quincy street NE, Minneapolis, Minn., says: "In the fall of 1899 I made a statement for publication recommend ing Dean's Kidney Pills. I said at that time that I had suffered more or less severely from an annoyance of the kid neys, the secretions being irregular and containing a heavy sediment. There was considerable pain in the small of my back and over the kidneys and a dull heavy tired feeling after getting through with my day's run. I know from many other cases as well as by own, that railroad work aggravates back ache and kidney trouble. I decided to try Doan's Kidney Pills and procured them at Voegeli Bros.' drug store. They not only removed the pains and tired feeling, but regulated the action of the secretions and toned and strengthened the kidneys. What is more, they cured me to stay cured." PRES. ROOSEVELT ON THE MASSACHUSETTS LAW (From his Boston address, Aug. 5,1902.) "Here in Massachusetts you have what I regard as, on the whole, excellent corpora- tion laws. I think that most ot our difficulties would be In a fair, way of solution If we bad the power to put on the national statute books, and did put on them, laws lor the nation like those you have here, on the subject of corporations In Massachusetts. The Massachusetts insurance laws" are a part of the general corporation laws to which President Boosfjvelt refers. The in- surance laws are conceded to be superior to those of any other state, and the developments in the New York investigation have emphasized the wisdom and the superiority of these laws, so that insurers now see the advantage of placing their insur ance in a Massachusetts company more than ever before.
