Mr. Cumming (Pop.), of Polk, moved during the morning session that when the house adjourned it should be to Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Mr. Jacobson (Rep.), of Lac gui Parle, objected to l^ng adjournments at this time, as the two days would be a dead loss. Mr. Laybourn (Rep.), of St. Louis, also protested against an adjournment to Tuesday.

The Ramsey delegation introduced and had passed under suspension of the rules yesterday three bills directly af fecting St. Paul. The flrst two related to the abstract clerk and his assistants. Under the present laws the abstract clerk is paid a salary of $4,500, and is allowed $3,500 for clerk hire. After the expiration of the term of the t.resent incumbent, if the bills pass the senate, theie will be no salaries paid and the clerk and his assistants will bave to drag along on the fees collected. The other bill passed was H. F. 224, by Mr. Schurman (Rep.), of Ramsev, which .allows St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth to levy an additional tax of one and a half mills for school pur poses. Of this levy one mill will be for general maintenance and one-half mill exclusively for new buildings, re pairs and sites. All three of the bills were indorsed at a meeting of the Ramsey delegation Thursday night. DISTRICT POORHOUSES. Mr. Schain (Rep.), of Traverse, ln H. F. 395, provides for the maintaining of district poorhouses. The plan ls to have adjoining counties join together for one institution, instead of each county conducting a poorhouse sepa rate. The cost of the institution, where one or more counties join together, is to be di .'ided in proportion to the as sessed valuation of the counties. The cost of maintenance is to be paid by A DEADLY ENEMY. That Often Follows Constipation and Nearly Always Kills. Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets Care Con stiputlon, and »o Prevent the -Bore Deadly Disease — They Have Saved Hundreds of Thou sands of Lives. One of the most deadly and most dreaded of modern diseases ls Appen dicitis. The people fear it, for it nearly always baffles the most skillful physi cian. Appendicitis kills nine of every ten persons it attacks. Its cause Is very obscure, but the best doctors say it springs, in the most of cases, from Constipation. It follows then that by curing Constipation you prevent Ap pendicitis. Now whenever there is a case of Dyspepsia or Indigestion, there also is a case of Constipation. Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets cure Dyspepsia and Indigestion. That has been proved in the counties in proportion to the num ber of inmates. SOLDIERS' HOME ANNEX.. Mr. Wheaton (Rep.), of Hennepin, in troduced a bill yesterday appropriating $15,010 for the construction of a build ing at the soldiers' home for the wives of veterans who are at the institution.

In case two or more fac tories are established, the bounty is to be divided among them according to the output.

IT IS SO OVERWORKED SENATE PASSED ONE BILL AND AD JOIHXEIJ TO Tl'ESl..V¥ AFTEBXOON SENATOR MILLER'S VICTORY He Secure**, tlie rnimaKr of Ills Bill Will rll I*r<y\-lil(*M for Appeal*, From ilriirrs of tlie Bal 1 road nml WarehraM Commission to the Uistrlet Court oh the Testinsouy us Taken by the Commission. After much waste of words, lime ar.d uratorial effort, the senate yesterday passeu one bill. When the calendar vas reached Senator Miller (Rep.), Rock, asked a call of the senate on his bill (.*>. P. 24) to permit tha submission of evidence taken before the railroad and warehouse commission to the courts as evidence. Senator Potter (Rep.). Hennepin, .said there were grave legal objections to' the bill, and he wanted it referred to the Judiciary committee. Senator Snyder (Rep.), Hennepin, said that not all the legal Lalent in the senate was on that committee. The bill ought to be passed now, if at all. Senator MeGovern (Dem.), Waseca, and Senator Young (Rep.), Swift, said \ that the bill would break down the ' rules of evidence which had been es- ■ tablisbed by the experience of Ihe ages. ! It took away from the courts the right to take testimony without remanding the case to the commission. Senator Miller insisted that the ques tion to be adjudicated in the court ' wns simply whether or not the findingr cf the commission were just and reas- : enable-. This, he contended, could be ' fully determined and only determined | on consideration of the same state of facts presented to the commission. Senators Everett (Dem.), Le Sueur, j and Coller (Dem.), Scott, wanted it j referred to the judiciary committee. Senator Wilson <R?p.), Hennepin, j asked the reference of the bill to a j special committee, which, he named: j Snyder. MeGovern, Ive?, Underieak and Fitzpatrick. The motions to refer were both lost, that to the judiciary by a vote of 27 to 22. Tho bill was then given its third reading, and passed by a vote of 41 to 11. as follows: Yeas — Baldwin, rarker, Batz, Brower.

The license to non-residents of the state is to be $25 and is to be issued by the secretary of state and the money turn ed into the state treasury. Residents of the state shall procure licenses for j $1 from the clerk of the court in their I county, who shall keep the dollar for ; j issuing the license aud making a record | thereof. It is estimated that the bill ! I would reimburse the clerks of the j j courts for all the "donations" made by I them in not collecting their fees for issuing second papers. HELPS OUT SHERIFFS. Senator Somerville (Rep.), Brown; in troduced a bill which gives sheriffs $1, and ten cents a mile for actual travel, on each personal property tax cita tion which is returned unsatisfied, after diligent search for property for attachment. The recent litigation be tween Sheriff Wagener and Rajnsey county's auditor has shown that in the more populous sections of the state this bill would enrich sheriffs several thousand dollars annually at only siight expense. The senate adjourned until Tuesday at 2:30. BILLS INTRODUCED IX SEXATE. Amending law relating to exemption from garnishment; to exempt wages of honorably discharged soldiers and sailors. Judiciary.

GAVE THEM CONCRETE ARTIFICIAL SIDEWALKS GIVEN TO SOLDIEItS WHILE THEIIt CHILDHEV'^AHVED VETERANS ASK FOfi NEW LAW They Waul the Legislature to He. store the Old Appropriation of $-0,000 a Year for the Soldiers* Home Fnud, Which Was Cut Off at the Session of' IS{>7 Solon s It:-, id vii hy tbe o. \. R. f> Members of the G. A. R. posts at tending the state encampment of the order made a sortie on the legislature yesterday. They did not exactly de clare war on the lawmakers, but in timated that unless the legislature ap propriate $20,000 annually for the sup port cf the soldiers 1 home the official lives of the members would be cut short with the present session. The visit of the old soldiers to the house was heralded by the adoption of a resolution presented by Mr. Winston (Dem.), of Hennepin, "that an invita tion be and is hereby extended to the members of the Grand Army of the Re public, now in attendance upon their annual encampment in this city, to visit this body, and for that purpose the privilege of the floor be extended to such members." At 11:30 500 veterans' marched into the hall with Commander Searle and Past Commander Mortimer in the lead. Speaker Dare welcomed the visitors and said the members of the house were all friends of the old soldiers. John Day Smith said: "A few of us have come up to greet you and ask that piovision be made for the soldiers home and the soldiers who fought not only in 1861, but in the war now being fcught. We performed work committed to our care in the past, and now as citizens we ask you to do the work committed to you. Two years ago the annua) appropriation of $20,000 for the soldiers' home was repealed, and we come to ask the restoration of the ap propriation. The soldiers' relief fund has been drawn upon during the past two years to support the soldiers' home, and when appeals come for aid we are obliged to refuse. Samuel R. Van Sant alluded to the $15,000 which had been appropriated to erect a monument to the honor of the Minnesota soldiers at Chiekamauga as what had been dene for sentiment. Now it was asked 1 that something be done for the gallant men who survived the battlefields. He hoped the old sol i diers would get all' they wanted from the legislature. John Day Smith suggested, if a roll call could be secured at the present moment, there would be no doubt but that the soldiers ipdiild get all they wanted. Former Lieut. Gov. Barto said when the legislature in their "unwisdom" cut off the appropriation for the soldiers' .home, in order to make up for this the trustees had to take the pittance appropriated for relief of the old soldiers to operate the home. "We represent 15,000 voters and the highest type of citizenship ever known to man. We are also politicians, and j if justice is not dene us the next legis- I lature will tumble over themselves to I give us what we want. The man who j votes agairst the soldiers' home appro j priation will be sorry for it." After a few remarks by J. M. D. | Craft, Mr. Winston (Dem.). Hennepin, was called on. He tojd the old soldiers it was much more pleasant to mingle with them on the floor of the Minne sota house of representatives than at Gettysburg and the Wilderness. Ell Torrance said the veterans came not as politicians but a? citizens with a just cause and with the belief that the right would triumph. The home was now kept open by appropriation from the national government and the $11,000 from the pensions of the men who lived at the home. The state did nothing for the home. The country was united in word and deed and the old soldiers in their declininsr days should be made comfortable to show that they had not been forgotten by the nation they helped to save. At the afternoon session of tho house Messrs. Crafts and Foster, a commit tee from the encampment, explained that the members of the organization desired to correct the false impression loft by the speech,** made in the morning. At the time it was not known that the appropriation for the Soldiers' home had been done away with at the request of the board of trustees of the home, for what was then supposed to be for the best interests of the home. The drift of the remarks would have been very different had this fact been known, and it was' not the Intention to And fault with the members of the legislature for something they were not to blame for. Mr. Staples (Rep.), of Dakota, who was a member of the subcommittee from the appropriations committee two years ago, corroborates 1 the statements as to the ropeal of the law appropriat ing $21.1,000 annually to the Soldiers' home. "Capt. Castle appeared before the committee at the time the omnibus ap propriation bill was being prepared," said Mr. Staples, "and not only sug gested but insisted that the board of trustees did not want the money. He said there was a balance of $40*000 on hand and that a further appropriation might lead to extravagance.

The bill has been recommended to pass by the committee on Soldiers' home and will come up on general orders on Mon day. The veterans visited the senate short ly after noon. Cjjpt. J. J. McCardy, John Day Smith, Gen. E. M. Pope. Lrio-ut. Gov. Ives, Capt. Sam R. Van Sant and Lieut. Gov. Barto addressed the legislators in behalf of appropria tions for the Soldiers' home, and for the relief of indigent old roldiers and their families outside of the home. Gen. Pope, in his remarks, said that some improprieties had been found in the recent management of the home. Money from the relief fund had been used to build cement sidewalks, for In stance.

Relief Society of Chicago Endorses Paine's Ceiery Compound, The work of the average woman, whether she be in charge of a house hold, where the work is always doing, but never done, or behind a counter, or in a schoolroom, is cf a sort that rarely leaves her with strength or in clination for anything else. The strain upon most women's nerves is so great that a breakdown stares many of them constantly in the face, which means loss of work, doc tor's bills and discouragement. One of the earliest and one of the most infallible indications of failing nervous strength is the inability to sleep soundly. No fact is more clearly established than that sleep repairs the tired nerv ous tissues and that the loss of sleep deranges the health more quickly and more seriously than any other priva tion the body can suffer. The great effort, then, of every poor sleeper should be to strengthen the nerves. The fact that hundreds of men and women in every community have been cured of Insomnia by Palne's celery compound tells its own story of the invigorating effect of this wonderful remedy, not only upon the nerves, but upon the entire nervous system. Physicians prescribe Paine's celery compound where -the nerves have be come so exhausted that not only sleep but digestion is interfered with.

Llnd, with the rank of brigadier general. The ap pointment was not unexpected, it hav ing been generally conceded for some time that Mr. Scholle would be given one of the more important staff posi tions. Mr. Scholle is a life long Democrat, and was treasurer of the Democratic county committee during- tho campaign of 1898. He has been active in politics and in business for reveral years, and was appointed by Mayor Smith as a member of the board of school Inspec tors. This has been his only political position in this state, although there have been those who have suggested him as a desirable mayoralty, nominee for the Democratic party. Mr. Scholle lives in the Seventh ward. * «r « Three or four years ago Col. Sam Lowenstein, the Third ward Repub lican politician, created a position for himself in the state house. His busi ness eye caught sight of the opportu nity and space for a cigar stand In the corridor of the capitol which had heretofore been overlooked. The neces sary permission to put a stand there was secured from the erovernor, and since that time Col. Lowensteir.' has reaped the reward of party service and 3 immediate invigorating effect in such cases is shown in the following letter from Mrs. Pannio West, president of the South Side relief society of Chica go. The letter is dated December 12, 189S: "We feel very glad to acknowledge the fine qualities of Paine's celery com pound. It is the best remedy we know of for building up the nervous system. Our doctors prescribe it. and it always gives immediate relief." Back of nervousness, sleeplessness and many of the peculiar ailments 'if women is poverty of the blood. Pale ness, thinness of body and weakness are evidences of poor blood. In some cases palpitation of the heart is com plained of, and when the poverty is greatest, the lips are pallid and the tongue almost colorless. In these cases of anaemia If Paine's celery compound is used the gain from day to day is plainly noticeable. Its tonic effect in renewing the blood and restoring the strength has been lit tle short of miraculous in cases of ex treme emaciation and nervous pros tration. If a woman feels that she is losirg ground in weight and strength she should set about increasing the blood supply at once with the aid of Paine's celery compound. Give this greatest of all remedies a trial. the profits cf his cigar stand at one and tbe same time. Col. Lowenstein's term of office is going to expire in a day or two. If the concession was one desired by an astute business man and a Republican it was considered equally desirable for somebody in sympathy with the ad ministration. So Secretary Rosing h_s informed Oscar Tankenoff that he could have the privilege of condui ting a stand or selecting somebody to do so. Mr. Tanker. -iff will find a bright boy for the position at once. Col. Low enstein will continue his lunch counter Just the same. It ts understood that Mr. Tankenoff. who haa the indorsement of the St' Paul. Minneapolis and Duluth Hebrews for a position under Gov. Lind. will later receive the recognition which his nationality asks for. * a m The legislative manual will be over a month late this year, owing to the inability of the secretary ot state to secure the necessary data for the pub lication before the flrst of April. A number of appointments are to be made and the legislature will doubtless re apportion the judicial districts. It is necessary to have this information complete before the book can be print ed. The state contract with the printers says that the book will have to be ready for distribution March 16, but as the fault lies with the state the con tractors will not have to forfeit their bonds. Capt. Whitney stated yesterday that he expected to have it ready before the legislature adjourned. O ____.__£ *__.%__. ■&_.?: E«ar3 the j* Ttie Kind Yon liavs Aiwa'*.
