MING THE PENALTY
SK.Wi'K SI'KXT A TKDIOI S DAY OX
THE ACCI Ml LATEU
CALENDAR
O^ER FORTY BILLS PASSED
There Were Two or Three Spnt»,
and a Few McnMurex l-'nili-il lt>
Kuu the Gauntlet Several Oth
er* Were Laid Over for Amend
-111 cut to Satisfy the Watchful
Solons.
Spending all day on the calendar, the
senate had a very dreary day* yesterday,
out managed to clear the tab of over forty
bills and to practically make its peace
with the offendod house.
AFTER SENG'S SCALP.
Borne local interest attaches to the pas
sage of the house bill providing for the
eleotloa of a successor to Assessor Robert
Seng to break the deadlock between the
mayor and county auditor. It passed
without dissent, the Ramsey county dele
gation seeming to have arranged for its
passage. The bill priSvMfrs'for the imme
diate election of ;rn mfrtymjfay the board
of county commissioners, while from 11KKI
on the people are to choose the new of
ficer.
BUTTER INSPECTION BEATEN.
Senator Batz (Dem.), of Steams, de
manded a call of the senate on his butter
inspection bill, which fixes a grade of
butter to be known as Minnesota extra
export butter and creates a state cream
ery butter inspectorship, on a fee basis,
This last clause, he said, had given rise
to some oposition, and he presented fig
ures to show that before the inspectors
fees reach $100, at 5 cents a tub, Minne
sota must have exported over $2,000,000
•worth of butter. There had also been ob
jection to the location of the inspector in
New York, but this seemed to be the
most practical location.
Senator Halvorson (Rep.), of Lac qul
Parte, said that he believed 80 per cent
of the butter exported from Minnesota
passed through New York. Figuring on
this, 1,200,000 tubs, at 2\i cents a tub, the
Inspector would receive $30,000 the first
year.
Senator Young (Rep.), of Swift, moved
the previous question, remarking that the
dairy Interests of the state were opposed
to the bill, but yielded to Senator Knat
vold (Rep), of Freeborn, who said the
bill was premature. He did not believe
that the measure was desired by tha
farmers, and their wishes should certainly
be consulted in the matter.
Senator Young then insisted on the pre
vious question, and the bill was lost— l 4 to
31— ns follows:

HOW DID IT GET CHANGED?
It was discovered that some one had
jv muled a line into Senator Young's bill,
W jP, 508, to legalize proceedings to re
deem from mortgage foreclosures in cer
tain cases so as to make it take effect
Aug. 1, instead of on its passage. As it
was ostensibly a curative act, Senator
t Wilson's curiosity was aroused. Senator
Young said he did not know anything
about it and Secretary Langum lAfo
pleaded not guilty. The error was cor
rected and the bill passed.
The judiciary committee's substitute
for the two bills of Senator Reeves
(Rep.), of Pope, was also found to be
loosely drawn, and so many voted no
that the author of the original bills had
to vote against it in order to move a
reconsideration which was granted to af
ford an opportunity for amendment.
DI.'NTENTION HOSPITALS IN DOUBT.
The bill of Senator Stockwell (Dem.),
Hennepin, for the detention of the al
leged insane in wards of the city hos
pitals of cities of over 50,000 people cre
ated some debate.
Senator McGovern (Dem.), Waseca,
thought these wards ought to be a good
thing for the rest of the state.
Senator Thompson (Rep.), Fillmore,
feared the new scheme would be too ex
pensive.
Senator Stockwell said it would be
cheaper, the expense being not to exceed
one dollar per day for each patient.
Senator Thompson said the fixed ex
penses of the state hospitals were still
continuing however, so that all the ex
pense of the detention wards would be
extra.
It was finally decided to have the bill
printed and defer action.
MODEL SCHOOLS' CLOSE CALL.
There was some opposition to the bill
of Senator Fitzpatrick providing for
model schools at Winona, striking out
the limitations fixed in the old law and
Inserting the following provision:
The state normal school board shall
have power to organize, in connetcion
with each normal school, such model
schoois a.s they may deem expedient, for
the illustration of the best methods of
teaching and government."
Senator Fitzp'trick explined tht the
pupils paid tuition and that the model de
partments were self-sustaining. The bill
merely removed a limitation on the num
ber of teachers employed.
Senator Underleak objected to the ten
dency of the model schools to serve as
schools for the communities where tlley
were located. .
Senator Fitzpatrick said the bill had
been approved by the state superinten
dent of schools whose views on the aca
demic side of the normal school work
were well known.
The bill pulled through by a narrow
margin, receiving 35 votes. Those voting
no were Senators Johnson, Lord, Reeves,
Somerville end Underleak.

LITTLE WORK IS DPI
HOUSE ADJOURNS AFTER DOINtt
SCARCELY ANYTHING BUT
LISTEN TO TALK
ONIT ONE BILL IS PASSED
Amendment to the Game and Fish
l.mv MeetH Approval, and Eight
MeaHures Are Advanced on the
Calendar— Effort Made to Induce
the Banks to Pay More Interest
on State Fnndfi.
When the house adjourned at 6 o'clock
last evening, there was but little to show
for the day's work. The one bill on the
calendar, amending the game and fish
law, was passed, and ln the committee of
the whole eight bills were advanced to
the calendar and three indefinitely post
poned.
The greater part of the day was taken
up ln discussion on the peddlers' bill of
Senator Daugherty, the bill of Mr. Brus
letten repealing the law appointing a
fire warden, and ths bill of Mr. Yon der
Weyer, fixing the rate of interest to be
paid by banks on state deposits, at not
less than 2 per cent.
The bill, which, if passed, vvould have
legislated Gen. C. C. Andrews out of a
?1,200 job, was discussed at length by
those who opposed the repeal of the law,
and finally recommended for indefinite
postponement, the members, who a week
ago favored the bill, having experienced
a change of front, if not of heart.
The bill allowing the state funds to be
deposited in banks if 2 per cent interest
was paid by the institutions;, was recom
mended for indefinite postponement. The"
law now provides that 3 per cent interest
shall be paid, but Mr. Roberts (Rep.), of
Hennepin, and Mr. Abbott tßep.), of
Faribault, who supported the measure,
stated that this rate was not being paid
and the treasurer could find no banks In
the Twin Cities, at least, who would ac
cept deposits at the 3 per cent rate.
COUNTRY BANKS WILL TAY.
Mr. Jacobson (Rep.), of Lac e;ui Parle,
and Mr. Riley (Rep.), of Jackson, con
tended that the country banks were will
ing to pay the rate demanded by the law
and there was no reason why it should be
changed for the benefit of the institu
tions in the large cities.
Mr. Jacobson called attention to the
fact that when there was a demand for
money by the state in the panic the coun
try banks had been the ones to come to
the front while the city banks went to
the wall.
Mr. Roberts declared the statement
false.
The committee recommended the bill
for postponement, but the house voted
it again into the waste basket on a viva
voce vote.
S. F. 182, by Senator Jones (Rep.), of
Todd, intending to prevent fraad in the
sale of garden seed, provoked a protract
ed discussion. The committee recom
mended it for indefinite postponement,
but Mr. Ferris (Rep.), of Crow Wing,
had it excepted from the report and laid
on the table. In answer to Inquiry as to
what this was for, Mr. Ferris stated that
it was for the purpose of amending the
bill.
Some of the members objected to the
bill as drawn, for the reason that it ap
plied to timothy clover and grass seeds.
Mr. Ferris explained that the Original
bill related only to garden seed and the
other amendments had been tacked on in
the committee. The purpose of the bill
was simply to prevent the sale of stale
garden seed.
NO NEED OF DEBATE.
Mr. Nelson (Rep.), of Lake, said there
was no need of the time of the house be
ing wasted in a debate. If the bill passed
all the dealers would do would be to
stamp a recent date year on the old
seeds and sell them for new ones.
Mr. IJmland (Dem.), of Ramsey, claim
ed that all reputable dealers dealt ln
good seeds and the bill should be killed
at once.
The Grideland commission bill, requir
ing merchants to notify consignors with
in twenty-four hours after the sale of the
price, name of purchaser and date of sale,
and requiring men to give bonds requir
ed by the railroad and warehouse com
mission and make reports, was recom
mended to pass.
Mr. Dwinnell (Rep.), of llennepin,
wanted the bonds to be fixed by the rail
road and warehouse commission at $10,
--000, for those dealing in grain, and $1,000
for those handling other articles, but the
amendment was voted down.
Mr. Morris wanted the merchants giv
en three days in which to make reports
to consignors, but this was also refused.
Mr. Jackson (Rep.), of Ramsey, stated
that the bill would drive out of business
the small commissionmen, but the coun
try members appeared to be desirous of
having the bill advanced to the calendar
and all the discussion did not change
their views.
The bill, allowing the state auditor to
bid in assets of the State and American
banks of Minneapolis, and dispose of the
came, was recommended to pass.
RAMSEY COUNTY BILLS.
Delegation Talk* Some Over and
Decides to Kill One.
Nine of the members of the Ramsey
county delegation attended the session
last evening. There was considerable
talk, but action was taken on only one
bill.
Mr. Fulton endeavored to have a bill
recommended, fixing the salaries of the
two country members of the board of
ccunty commissioners at $500 per year.
His explanation was that the couatry
members let their own business go to
attend to that of the county. The bill
was recommended for Indefinite »ost
ponement.
Assemblyman Benson presented a Mil
relating to the purchase of a market
site. He wanted it to take the place of
the bill of Mr. Jackson on the subject.
The bill is a copy of the Minneapolis
law which allows condemnation proceed
ings to be followed after five appraisers
appointed by th~e council have reported
on the co3t of the proposed site.
Mr. Benson said the council was given
too much authority under the Jackson
bill as that measure provided for the
purchase of the site by the council with
out any condemnation proceedings, and
the issuance by the council of certificates
of indebtedness to the amount of $150 -
000.
The new bill which Mr. Benson stated
was drawn by the corporation attorney
provides for the entire cost of the mar
ket site being placed in the tax levy
the year following the condemnation pro
ceedings. It was referred to Senator
Shehan to look over.
Sheriff Wagener was on hand to look
after a bill along the line of the one
recommended to pass by the Hennepin
county delegation, which allows the
sheriff to charge for work which Judge
Lewis, of this city, held the county did
not have to pay. The delgatlon ln ex
ecutive session discussed the matter, but
took ho action.
BILLS BEFORE COMMITTEES.
Action of the Raumey, Hennepin and
St. Lool* County Delegation*.
The Ramsey, Hennepin and St. Louis
delegations listened to arguments yester
day in of the passage of H. F. 578,
which provides for a state board of elec
tricity, and the registration and granting
of licenses to those engaged in the Install
ing or repairing of electrical work.
The committee will recommend the bill
for passage with an amendment, making
It apply only to the' cities of St Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth. It was opposed
by Messrs, Jackson (R«dJ and Umland^
(Dem.), of «ams*y, and Laybourn (R«d )
of St. Louis/ y*V'/>
J. H. Beck of the law firm of Palmer &
Beck appeared before the committee to
advocate the passage o* H. . F. 654, pro
viding that sales of merchandise in bulk
should be fraudulent, unless ' the pur
chaser gave notice to all the creditors of
the seller that such purchase was to be
made. The bill was not before the com
mittee, so no action was. taken.
The bill of Senator Battgherty (Rep.),
of St. Louis, requiring peddlers to pay a
license in each town in the state In which
they desired to do bushws^ was killed in
the house yesterday. U JJ, L required two
hours' talk and numerous roll calls, how
ever, to reach this' end? '•**
i The committee -on »euqral legislation,
by a vote of 7 to 3, at a meeting held
Wednesday night, recommended the bill
for indefinite postponement.. When -the
report reached the house yesterday morn
ing there was also subdued a minority
report signed by aeven. n o£,. the members,
four of whom had not b.e,en present at
the session of the committee.
Mr. Fosnes (unlan), 6f- Chtppewa; Mr.
Jacobson (Rep.), of Lac'qui Parle; Mr.
Laybourn (Rep.), of St,< Louis; Mr. Riley
(Rep.)., of J&ckson, a?d,^Mr. Guttersen
(Rep.), of Blue Earth, opposed the killing
of the bill,
Mr. Foss (Rep.), of Grant; Mr. Dwinnell
(Rep), of Hennepiri; Mr. DortDWue (Dem.),
of Steams, and Wheaton (Rep.), of Hen
nepin, 1 spoke against the passage of the |
bill, and the adoptioii of the. majority re
port of the committee. On a roll call the
motion of Mr. Laybourn, to place the bill
on general orders, and the adoption of
the minority report,- was voted down by a
vote of 49 to 57. This settled the bill, and
then the report of the committee was
adopted. „,.
ROUGH ON SVAPLES.
Says He Did One Th'iiigr, While tUc
Records Show Differently.
H. F. 499, or what t was left pf the
original bill after the on
appropriations had gone -: thr6ugh it, was
recommended to pass "by'the house in
committee on the Whote. •
The bill appropriates $15,000- for the use
of the dairy, and food commission, and
fixes the salaries of the .commissioner,
and assistants at the same figures as
now.
Mr. Roberts (Rep.V of Hennepin, want
ed the salary, of thecommisisoner raised
from $1,800 to $2,000, but the best he could
do was to have the raise take effect at
the expiration of the term of the present
Incumbent.
Mr. Staples (Rep.) of Dakota, objected
to the raising of the salary of any of
ficer after he had been- appointed.
Mr. Yale (Rep.) of -Wfeiona, inquired
what position Mr. Staples had taken on
the raising of the salary of Warden
Wolfer a day or so .ago.
Mr. Staples said he jhad. opposed it, but
if so the clerk evidently, made a mis
take in the journal, as the member from
Dakota is recorded as haying voted for
the bill.
Mr. Roberts insisted that the some of
the analysis in the dairy and food work
be done at Minneapdlis, and offered an
amendment to that effe^tA This was op
pcsed by Mr. Staples ( ;ifhp declared that
the plan was only la . tfoe interests of
Dr. Drew, of the Mill ,qity, who had
a school and charged pupils at the same
time he did such work fp? the state. He
did not neglect to als,p charge the state,
and last year at one time he had charged
the dairy department $2fiO for making an
analysis of fifty samplgs of vinegar,
which should not have,qpst more than
half the sum.
The amendment was voted down, and
the bill recommended for passage.
PLEA FOR (AXOKA.

ASPHALT PAVJ&M43NTS HURT.
Damage Done litf tSfe City by the
Cold nmijtlil Snow.
City Engineer R^dV^tt yesterday ex
pressed the opinion^ t^ja^jthe severe winter
has injured the aspbaJtoPavements not a
little, and the streets jgp to the present
time have been so much covered with
snow that an inspection could not be
made which wouljtj g-L\ie any indication
of the damage, but where the snow has
thawed there is evidence that the alter
nate thaws and cold • spells have caused
the asphalt to crack_pjP re than in former
winters. .. "■[
The Warren-BchaVff company . Intro
duced a new idea, in the Ashland avenue
pavement last year by laying it in sec

cement, but the engineer says that it ha; :

having taken flye. bottles in, all— a time covering perhaps as many weeks, the pain was entirely gone and I enjoyed the un
speakable blessing of good health. From these facts, when people ask me my opinion of Warner's Safe Cure you can
agine what my answer is. Edmund Stevens Jacques, Wayne Aye.; Qermantown, Pa."
Now if the reader will lend me his ears for a minute I will say a few plain words suggested by the above letter
The complaint which gave Mr. Jacques such an unhappy experience was that form of rheumatism common! v called sri
atica. Few diseases are more painful and prostrating. Our frjend has in no way exaggerated the torments* which it i
capable of inflicting. If the ancient inquisitors, who sought to correct heresy by means of bodily pain, could have imposed
. at will the agonies of acute rheumatism they might have spared themselves the use of the rack, the thumbscrew the boot
and others of their amiable devices. For few men but would change their creed quicker than a wink to get rid of this \
rlety of torture.
Now here is the point in a nutshell: All forms of rheumatism and gout are caused by the poison known as uric acid
and uric acid is produced in the system and retained there by a torpid liver. Paste this fact up on the walls of your mem
ory where you can see it at a glance, as you are not likely to get hold of any more important information this year
In other words, cure liver and kidney complaint and your rheumatism, gout, sciatica and most other kinds of nerve
pain. And the agent to do it with is Warner's Safe Cure. This shows why, as I said at the outset, Liverland is a bigger
country than India.
