CHARLES WINONA, MINN.A colored man has been arrested at Utica charged with the burglary of the residence of Mason Hatfield at St. Charles. An attempt was first made to enter the Arm strong residence, but the burglar was driven away from there by the son. He then made a haul at the Hatfield home. He was traced to the raUroad and Utica was notified, his arrest following. He was taken to St. Charles and brought from there to Winona and lodged in the county jail. .The metering of water service has proved such a [^success., in the business district of Winona, where it was Introduced last year, that plans are new being made for the extension of tftis service to other parts of the city. It is prob able that a considerable portion of the residence section will be metered the coming season. This system materially cuts down the amount ot water used and somewhat incrense^ the revenue '"Jb-vr &Mm&jm Thestrongest point In Its favor is that it docs accompanied the girl home. away with the waste of water. arrested ou the charge of kidnapping. ^mm^SWmBm^mm^smmms PROPOSE A GHA|G ATHLETIC BOARD CONSIDERS PLAN OF LEVYING ANNUAL AS- SESSMENT ON ASSOCIATION MEMBERS. At the coming athletic board elec tion at the university, the advisability of changing the present athletic sys tem whereby every student, no mat ter whether he be a supporter or not of university athletics, has a voice in the election of the undergraduate ath letic solons, will be considered, and it is possible that a new system will be inaugurated. It is proposed to levy an annual as sessment of $5 on members of the asso ciation, and upon payment of this $5, to issue a card admitting association members to all athletic contests to be held on Northrop field during the year. It is argued that under this system the students who take the greatest in terest in athletics would constitute the electoral body and rank clique work and ballot stuffing in elections'ton the board would be elimiuated. It is also argued that under uch a system the students would feel greater interest in the different university teams and come in closer contact with university ath letics. "University authorities are consider ing the establishment of a new library department in connection with tho present library facilities, to be known as the university ''lending library." For this department novels, poetical works and books of travel would be purchased, annd it would differ from the regular university library in the fact that students could draw the books and retain them after the plan of the city public library. At present no book in the university library can be taken from the reading rooms and instructors in the English department argue that as the situation now stands students are unable to do required outside reading, and the estab lishment of a circulation department in connection with the present library would be of great benefit both to stu dents and teachers. The plan will be presented to the board of regents. Professor Arthur E. Haynen of the university faculty will leave next week for Boston, whei-e he will inspect the model for the soldiers' monument which is to be placed on the university cam pus next spring. The monument is to be unveiled on Decoration Day and among the speakers at the exercises Avhich will accompany the unveiling will be President Cyrus Northrop, for mer Governor S. B. Van Sant and Governor John A. Johnson. John Barret, United States minister to Columbia, has offered three prizes aggregating $250 to American college undergraduates who write the three best papers on subjects dealing with various aspects of South American af fairs. Many University of Minnesota students have announced their inten tions of competing. George P.

PETER, MINN.Title to a valuable tract of land in the outskirts of the village of North Mankato was in controversy in a civil action argued before Judge B. F. Webber in chambers yesterday. The suit ia brought by Christian Larson against Oirard Utjes, and a rampage of the Minnesota river figures in the proceed ings. Larson and Utjes originally purchased ad joining tracts from the same owner, but a short time ago, when the former engaged a civil engineer and made a survey of his land, he found that one of his lines ran over into the Utjes homestead, passing directly thru the dwelling occupied by his neighbor. He brought suit to establish the validity of the line, but the defendant maintains that he has not en croached on the possessions of the plaintln*. In his answer he states that Larson's property, which lies on the banks of the Minnesota river, has suffered thru a change In the course of the stream that the banks have been gradually de stroyed, and that much of the land Larson pur chased is now in the middle of the channel. Judge Webber listened to the arguments yes terday afternoon and took the case under ad visement. FARMERS' HELLO LINE Telephone Company Organized to Con nect with Minnesota Lake.

Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 24.Reports of graft are responsible for the proposed law to put seven of the largest cities under a commission plan of government. .Some Iowa mayors are bit terly resenting the proposition to change their city governments aud many unkind remarks are being made about Des Moines. The cities that may be affected by the proposed law are Pes Moines, Sioux City, Dubuque, Uedar Rapids, Burlington, Council Bluffs aud Daven port, and when Messrs. English aud Teachout" present the Des Moines bill in the house and Senator Dowell in the senate, a fight will be waged against it. Des Molhes will undoubtedly ceme in for some bitter censure. The bill provides for municipal commissions, after the manner of the Galveston, Texas, com mission, inaugurated in an extremity following the flood. If it passes, all city officials in cities of the first class will be abolished. All departments of government, including the board of public worts, fire and police commission, park boards, library boards and standing city com mittees will be abolished and the whole govern ment placed In the hands of a mayor and four commissioners. One commissioner will head the department of accounts and finance, another the department of public property and parks, another the mayor, the department of public affairs, another the department of public improvements, and another the department of public safety. The mayor will receive a salary of $3,000 annu ally, and the commissioners $2,000 each. This commission, together with, a superior court, will manipulate all city business. The expense of eight library trustees, three park trustees, nine aldermen, three police and fire commissioners and two members of the board of public works, will be lopped off by the new plan.. Each city that desires to have the com mission plan must petition for It and submit the proposition to a vote of the people. As there is agitation for reform in each one of the seven, cities of the state included in the bill, the measure will find many supporters. Berryhill's Strong Committee. James G. Berryhill of Des Moines, a million aire lumber merchant, who started the commis sion scheme for Iowa cities, says that he has as surance the plan will be taken up at once, not only here, but at Couicil Bluffs, Cedar Rapids, Sioux City and Davenport. A committee of 200 business men has been organized under the di rection of Mr. Berryhill, and the commission system formally launched. The city will vote March 26, whether or not the plan shall be adopted. Politicians are fighting it. Now it is learned that Congressman Hull will return before the election to lend his personal influence against the measure. Efforts are being made to get tho bill so changed that party lines will be drawn In the election of commissioner. If the amend ment proposed goes thru the city will vote as heretofore at a regular primary for party nomi nations for commissioners. The fat of the proposition in Des Moines will be watched with great interest. It is expected the bill will pass the house next week and go at once to tho senate, where Senator Dowell has promised to push it. Telegrams have been going out to Iowa mayors asking their opinion of the "Galveston plan." The following answers have been received: meters set is 9S6, and the number of gallons, these were the fight against the catalog houses of water pumped during the year 266,659,000. The Agents' association of the Minnesota What Mayors Say. Mayor Phillips, DavenportThe present sys tem of municipal government in Iowa is in need of reformation. There is no business sense in the waste that is allowed. I am in favor of the commission plan. Mayor Caster of BurlingtonI am opposed to the commission plan. It has been tried in Wash ington and Galveston, and has proved a success because of extraordinary conditions. The com mission system is not a representative form of government. It puts too much power in a few hands. Why, If a council and mayor and the several boards we have now can control politics, what will five men with all this patronage under them do? Mayor Sears, Sioux CityThere is as much sense selecting congressmen-at-large as selecting aldermen-at-large. They would not represent the people. Sparsely settled districts would be discriminated against by the commissioners and growth of cities retarded. I shall fight the adoption of the plan In Sioux City. Mayor Macrea, Council BluffsThe present spoils system of municipal control in Iowa is rotten. The whole municipal code needs revis ing. We encourage graft and robbery by our present system and laws. Party politics cut too much figure. Give us a commission of busi ness men to run the city on business principles. Mayor Berg, DubuqueI will not give the commission scheme any attention. Dubuiue will fight it. We are not rotten Uke Des Moines, and we don't need It. RETAILERS IN SESSION Ninth an will be read, and the committee on gate door 8- will present a report.

Commissioner Robinson's Report for December and Preceding Half-Year Gives Interesting DataMarriages Show Large Increase over Any Pre ceding Period and Only Eighty Di vorces of Residents. Special to The Journal. Pierre, S. D., Jan. 24.The December report of the bureau of vital statistics contains a sum mary of the reports for the first six months of operation of the law. Commissioner Robinson says of the new law: "With the sole exception of the slowness of physicians and parents in reporting the given names of infants, the law is working splendidly. The names of infants are an important part of the record, and should be promptly reported. With much effort on the part of this office, the names of practically all the infants born in the first quarter are now recorded." There were 842 births in December and 4,565 in the six months. Of the infants born in December 322 were reported unnamed. The deaths in December numbered 347, and for six months 1.722. In the six months, 125, or 7.2 per cent, died from tuberculosis 134, or 7.7 per cent, from heart failure 70, or 4 per cent, from pneumonia, and 53, or 3 per cent, from cancer. Accidents have been the cause of 134 deaths, the same number as from heart failure. Tha accidental deaths were: Drowning, 24 gun shot, 15 lightning, 10 railroad, 9 burned, 5. There were fifteen suicides and six murders. Divorce Statistics. In December there were 451 marriages, more than for any previous month. For the six months 1,860 couples were married. In December 47 divorces were granted, and in the six months 217. Of these cases 137, or 63 per cent, the persons were .nonresidents. This leaves but eighty cases for the six months in which the persons were actual residents of the state. Two hundred foreigners were naturalized in December and 800 in the six mouths. Almost all these people came from the north of Europe and Canada. It may be of interest to know that in the commissioner's office complete record is made of* each birth, death, marriage,, divorce and natural ization certificate, all of which are then care fully Indexed by the card system. The birth and death certificates are.then bound in perma nent books. This makes a record that in the future will be invaluable In tracing famjly records for any of the many purposes for which they are desired. Drilling Thru Ice.

The nostrils are stopped up, and a constant drop- ping of mucus'back into the throat keeps up a continual hawking and spit- ting, the patient has dull headaches, tinging noises in the ears and a half sick, depressed feeling all the time. Every inner lining and tissue of the body becomes inflamed, and secretes an unhealthy matter which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and the disease be- comes constitutional. The catarrhal poison brings on stomach troubles, affects the Kidneys and Bladder, attacks the soft bones of the throat and head ancl if not checked leads to Consumption. A disease so deep-seated and dangerous cannot be washed out, neither can it be smoked away. Sprays, washes, inhalations, etc., are useless, because they only reach the membranes and tissues, while the real cause of the disease is in the blood. S.
