DIFFVLO WANTS «HIXXESOTA REP
RESENTED AT PAN-AMERICAN
EXPOSITION
SHOW WILL BE BIG AFFAIR
Special Commissioner Appears Be
fore Legislature and Asks That
Liberal Appropriation
Be Made*
H. P. Rueker, special commissioner of
the ran-American exposition at Buffalo,
appeared before the joint senate and
house appropriation committee yester
day and presented an outline of the ex
posltlon, the benefits to be derived by
It and reasons why Minnesota should
make an adequate appropriation for a
representation at the exposition. Refer
ring to the bill now pending in the legis
lature, which proposes to set apart $50,-
Ikki for this purpose, Mr. Rucker said that
Was by no means too much, and that the
Btate have fully that amount.
The speaker described the coming ex
{fOSition as the outgrowth of a sentiment
borne of the reciprocity idea of trade be
tween Pan-American countries, as fos
tered by the late James G. Blame. He
declared that it would \»- unique in that it
would form tlie first convention of the
kind on the Western hemisphere; it would
bring about ;<n interchange of ideas be
iv <in ix.'jilt of all the North, South and
ivm i;:l American stales as to the best
methods of building up foreign trade,
which would result in enormous profit to
nil Btates interested and the several
countries at large, lie thought the expo-
Eitton would give better results to Min
nesota than the World's fair at Chicago,
ut a less expense to the state.
Mr. Rucker stated that Kentucky Is
the only state that has declined to co
operate with the other states in the en
terprise. A large number of the states
li;ive already arranged to appropriate
from $15,000 to $300,000 for their exhibits.
Ninety T>cr cent of the permanent build
ings at the grounds, said Mr. Rucker,
me now erected.
H. P. Hall, who visited the scene of the
roming exposition, spoke favorably of the
mammoth show. He said the magnitude
and importance of the exposition cannot
ho fully appreciated without a visit to
Ihe city of Buffalo. He believed the af-
T;iir would eclipse the Omaha exposition
mid I><> surpassed in magnitude only by
the World's fair.
Mr. Hall agreed with Mr. Rucker that
one of the greatest benefits to be derived
through such an enterprise was the mere
exhibition of state products. He wanted
this legislature to pass the bill calling
for the $50,000 appropriation, saying that
It was merely a question of laying that
amount out in order to get back five or
six millions. There will be thousands of
Eastern people at the exposition looking
for places to settle in the West, and It
will afford Minnesota abundant opportu
nities for showing to these people some
-1!::!!?' of the wonderful natural resources
and magnificent facilities that are to be
found here.
Prof. Shaw, of the State Live Stock as
sociation, said that it would be a good
l«u:i for the state to set apart $1,000 out
of Hip total appropriation for a corn ciis
play alone. He said that many Eastern
people and those In the Middle states, un
acquainted with Minnesota, believed that
the slate onuld not produce com, and
hence that it was a poor live stock state,
when, in fnct, it is excelled By nor.c in
the raisins of live stock.
12. D. Jaokson, representing some of
the business men of Minneapolis, spoke In
favor of the movement. T. L Schur
meier, of St. Paul, and A. G. Briggs rep
resenting the St. Paul Commercial'club
also gave pertinent arguments in favor
of the states co-operation in the expo
sition. The Commercial club stronelv
favors it. 6J
The committee adjourned without tak
}?* th* ma"er llnder further considera
tion. It will meet during the first part
It is befieved the bill to appropriate $50,
--«X>for Minnesota's exhibit at Buffalo
will be enacted into a law.
WILL SAVE PEOPLES MONEY.
Hickeys Bill Rodacing Interest on
Contract* Likely to PfclW.
Hie house yesterday recommended for
passage the bill recently introduced by
Representative J. r. HickevT of tho
iate of interest upon contracts arising
from the sale of state lands. This if
a matter which has been looked upon
generally as of the utmost interest to the
people of Minnesota and if Mr. HickeVs
bill passes it will mean a great saving
of money to the citizens g
irtSf^i.* ht f resent law purchasers of
state school lands cannot pay into the
state the principal of the sale until the
expiration of fifteen years. During this
period they pay interest at the rate of
1 per cent. The state in turn can only
receive 3 per cent on the bonds. This
makes a difference of 2 per cent which
amounts to a large sum of money every
year and which the citizens have to lose
finally. _r ; , .
Mr. Hickeys bill provides for a re
duction of the interest charged the pur
chaser of the land compelling him to
pay only 4 per cent, instead of 5 Hence
there is but 1 per cent difference between
this rate and that which the state ex
acts of those who take the bonds off
its hands, representing a large net gain
to the people of the state.
The Dowling bill to abolish court com
missioners and place the prerogatives of
that officer in the hands of the probate
judge was recommended to pass under
general orders.
DELEGATES Tl RNED DOWN.
St. Louln Legislators Are Inflexible
on Their Sheriff Bill.
The Duluth delegation that came down
to St. Paul Wednesday night in the in
terest of Sheriff Sargeant, of St. Louis
county, as stated in the Globe yester
day, failed to secure the backing of their
delegation in the legislature in their un
dertaking. It was the purpose of the
gentlemen to forestall action against the
final passage by the senate of the bill
reducing the sheriff's Income, but the
delegation, both senators and representa
tives, from the head of the lakes, is in
fl< xible. They were the ones who orig
inally stirred up the fight for the bill,
Mr. Alford, a house member of the dele
gation, himself being the author and it
appears that even the influence of so
representative a mass of gentlemen as
this one cannot sway them.
In the delegation that came to the capi
tol in the interest of Sheriff Sargeant
v.ere the following well known and prom
inent men: j. c. Hunter, J. c Richard
son, T. W. Hooper, F. L. Buel, J. q
Wininms. attorney for Mr. Sargeant-
Capt. D. E. Stevens, County Auditor Hal
den, Clerk of Court Johnson, A. D Da
vidson and R. E. Patterson.
AFTER CHIEF GRAIN INSPECTOR.
Represents* tlve It i ley Introduces a.
Bill Abolishing; That Office.
Mr. Rlley, of Jackson, is the author
of a bill which seeks to abolish the of
fice of chief grain inspector of the state.
He favors handing over that work to the
state railroad and warehouse commission,
THE ST. PAUI, GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1901.
which he believes is not too much bur
dened to attend to the business.
The author believes the office is a sine
cure. With the present board of ap
peals, consisting of three persons, he
says there is no" actual need of the chief
grain inspector, since all disputes and
controversies are settled by the boarJ
anyway. All other work formerly as
signed to the inspector, he says, could
bo done by the commissioners and thus
save to the state the salary of the in
spector, $3,000 a year.
The bill, if passed, will take effect at
once. This will remove the present in
spector, John Reishus, who was appoint
ed under Gov. L.ind'3 administration, and
who would probably serve until the close
of the present crop year, July 31, since
the new commissioners have inclined to
the plan of retaining the old* force until
that time.
HOUSE SCREENINGS.
S. B. Peterson, introduced a memorial
ye&terday to be submitted to congress,
praying that all second-class postoftice
towns in th« state be given federal
buildings to be used exclusively for fed
eral purposes. The measure was deslpn
ed to benefit New Ulm in particular,
where Mr. Peterson resides, and which
comes under that class of towns. The
memorial was passed under suspension
of the rules.
Herbert E. Blair will be reimbursed *n
the sum of $1,171.22 by the state for his
contest against W. R. Mahood, for the

troduced yesterday by Mr. Torson

BX-GOV. LEE RETI'RNS THE OFFI
CIAL CHAIR PRESENTED HIM
BY THE LEGISLATURE
PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 21.-(Special.) -
In recently declining to accept the of
ficial chair which he had occupied for
four years, Ex-Gov. L,ee wrote a letter
to the senate, as follows:
"To the Honorable Senate and House
of Representatives, Pierre, S. D.—l re
turn to the state the chair presented to
me by joint resolution. I wish to ex
press my sincere thanks to the senate
and the gentlemen of the house who de
sired to extend to me a courtesy cus
tomary in this and other states. To the
legislators generally I may be pardoned
lor saying that while chief executive of
the state I tried to make it understood
that I am opposed to the giving' away
of state property. While sanctioned by
custom in this ease it is an easy step
from making presents of small value
at state expense, to gifts of large value,
involving grave abuses and gross cor
ruption. And as in this instance, where
differences of opinion arise, much valu
able time paid for by the state may be
wrangled away over a trifle. Again
thanking the senate and the gentlemen
of the house, I am, very respectfully
Andrew E. Lee."
The principal bills introduced today
were: In the house, to create a board
for the compilation of the laws, consist
ing of the governor, secretary of state
and attorney general, with authority to
employ two attorneys to act with the at
torney general for the purpose, and a
senate bill to remove the refcrm school
from Plankinton to Watertown.
The house passed the bill granting at
t.-.rncys a fee^>f $25 from the county for
the defense of indigent criminals, and
killed the bill to prevent fraud to credi
tors in the disposal of stocks of goods.
The jag cure bill came up for the first
time in the senate and called out a fight
in which it won out by a narrow major
ity.

11 111 IB DO
COMMITTEE ON ILLUMINATING OILS
DESIRES TO CONSIDER
HURD BILL
.....
SENATOR EVERETT GOT ANGRY
General Wilson Makes n. Remark
That Is Characterized '
a-s an In
unit.
"I regard as no less than an insult the
remarks of the gentleman from Henne
pin—an insult to any committee of this
-senate. I would like to know the pur
pose of the committee on illuminating
oils, if it is not to consider just such
measures as this bill, it will be the only
bill this session which the committee can
possibly consider. The gentleman has
no right to guess what will be the re
port of the committee, if the bill is re
ferred. I have no doubt, if I get a chance
to study this bill, for one, I will find my
self able to consider it and vote upon
it just as intelligently and honestly as
can be."
The above impassioned remarks were
made by Senator Everett yesterday, in a
voice quivering with anger. They were
in reply to a response made by Gen. Wil
son to Senator Everett's request that the
Hurd bill be referred to the committee
on illuminating oils yesterday. Senator
Wilson had suggested that he could
plainly see that friends of the bill would
cause it to run the gamut of the com
mittee and that it would probably be
referred from the committee on illumi
nating oils to the finance and judiciary
committee and follow the course of its
predecessor of two years ago, which had
been in transition from one committee to
another for four weeks.
Senator Everett's motion to have the
bill referred to his committee carried by
a splendid vote. The question arose as
to whether the bill should retain its place
upon general orders. Senator Sheehan
called the attention of the senate to the
fact that the bill carries an appropria
tion and was not entitled to its present
place on general orders, because it had
not been referred to the finance commit
tee. Senator Everett embodied in his
motion the request that the bill retain its
place.
Garnishment Bill Fsiiln
The senate yesterday failed to pass the
Wilson measure, which exempts but $9
per week from garnishment The bill
could muster to its support but 27 votes
Senator Wilson spoke briefly in favor of
his measure. Senator Schaller made a
few pungent remarks against the meas
ure, and Senator Baldwin paid his re
spects to the garnishment laws of the
state, which make it impossible to reach
a man who may have as a homestead
an office building worth $100,000, who may
collect in rents from that building from
JjO.ooo to $15,000 per year, and so long as
he lives in it be exempt from garnish
ment for all of that income. He said he
would vote aeainst th* bill because <.f
the injustice of its.'provisions.
A number of grocers, who came to help
the bill through, made hasty remarks
over its fate in tHe senate lobby, attar
the vote was announced.
Committee' Gives It Up.
Senator. Miller, for the special com
mittee which was appointed to find out
by what means the figures "4V 2 ," mean
ing the gross earnings tax on express
companies, contained in the bill passed
by the legislature last session, were mado
to read "5" when the bill was presented to
former Gov. Lind for signature, reported
back that the labors of the committee
were in vain and the advent of the ex
tra % per cent is still unexplained.
SENATORIAL GOiSSIF.
H. B. Gress. of Northfield, was enter
tained yesterday by Senator Schaller.
Miss Helen L. Countryman was tho
guest of her father yesterday at the sen
ate.
The senate committee on forestry will

tHe salary of the fire warden from $1,200
to $2,500.
A handsome life-like portrait of the
late Bishop Gilbert, the work of Miss
Grace E. McKinstrey, of Faribault, is
hung in the senate chamber for exhibi
tion.
Under general orders yesterday the sen
ate recommended for passage the Wilson
bill making it possible for the garnish
ment of salaries of- city and county of
licialß.
Adjournment was taken until Monday
evening at 8 o'clock, the senate having
adjourned out of respect to Senators Col
ler, Syncfer and George Washington, wh-.>
have birthdays today.
The Ramsey county delegation held a
meeting yesterday afternoon to consider
local measures. The principal subject of
discussion was the bill proposing to in
crease the salaries of the county com
missioners to $900 a year.
The normal school committee will junk

mittee to investigate and report on

$i 50,000 for their work and maintenance.
About 15,000 children attend the Sunday
schools, *nd parochial schools are con
ducted in most of the congregations.
The Gustaviis Adolphus college at St.
Peter is the leading institution of learn
ing. It consists of an academy and nor
mal school, college, music conservatory
and business college, and has over 300
students. Students who intend to pre
pare for the ministry must, after they
have graduated from the college, take
a three years' course in the seminary

stitutions owned and controlled by the
conference may be mentioned the or-
phans' home at Vasa, Minn., having
accommodations for about fifty children,
and the Bethesda hospital in St. Paul,
a worthy institution of its kind, erected
at a cost of $41,000. It has accommoda
tions for sixty patients, and has been
well patronized for several years.
MISSIONARY FOR CANADA.
The delegates representing the various
congregations are a zealous lot of work
ers, as is demonstrated in each session
held in the Swedish Lutheran church
in this city. They believe in spreading
the gospei as far as possible, and at this
morning's session decided to engage a.
permanent missionary for work at Al
berta, Canada. Rev. C. O. Olander, of
Minneapolis, was selected, and will enter
his new field of labor as soon as he can
complete the necessary details. He will
receive a salary of jsOO, an allowance
of J2OO for house rent, and 575 additional
with which to pay the expenses of re
moving to Alberta The missionary field
in Canada is exceptionally large, em
bracingl as it does all of the territory in
Canada west of Winnipeg.*
For several years past there has been
a large immigration to Western Canada
of Swedish speaking people, and Inas
much as the territory covered is under
the jurisdiction of the Minnesota con
ference, that body has decided to bear
the expense of sending a missionary
there. The question came up this morn-
ing upon a report of the executive com
mittee, having in charge the question of
missions, ameng which the church at
Alberta, asked to tre made a part of the
conference. Other churches desiring af
filiation with the conference were the
Swedish Lutheran Zion church, at Grand
Rapids, Minn.; lmmanuel church, at
Hibbing, Minn.; Tabor church, Eveleth.
Minn.; Eethania church, at Armour, a.
D.; the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran
church, at Hoffman, Minn.; the Warn
hem church, at Kerkhovcn.
MR. OLANDEK CHOSEN.
A motion was made that Rev. Mr.
Olander be called from his field at Min
neapolis to the larger field at Alberta,
and it gave rise to a. zealous discussiou
in which many prominent ministers took
part. Some of them feel that an addi
tional burden was being placed upon
the Minnesota conference, and that this
matter rightfully belonged to the synod,
but it was explained that the pynod waa
unable to take charge of the matter an.}
that if anything was to be done it would
have to come I'rom the Minnesota confer
ence. The question of added expendlture3
was discussed pro and con, but shortly
before the noon adjournment the mo
tion was adopted, and Mr. Olander has
decided to accept the call.
A prominent minister stated to a
Globe correspondent that while the ac
tion of the conference meant additional
expense, he felt more than satisfied that
the congregations throughout the domain
would be satisfied with the action of the
conference.
ELECTION" OF OFFICERS.
The election of officers was again be
fore the conference this forenoon. The
tellers announced the result of the bal
lot taken yesterday for president, but
inasmuch as none of the candidates had
the required majority of all votes cast
it was decided to take a second ballot.
Rev. P. Sjoblom retired from the race,
and the first ballot gave the presidency
to Rev. J. Fremling, of Vasa, Minn. Rev.
L. G. Almen, of Balaton, Minn., was the
only nominee- for vice president, and he
■was elected by acclamation. The candi
dates nominated for secretary were Rev.
Philip Thelander, of Stillwater; Rev. J.
A. Kranz, Duluth; Rev. F. M. Ekman,
Center City; Rev. G. Rast, Red Wing,
and Rev. P. A. Mattson, Warren. Minn.
On the first ballot Rev. Mr. Thelander re
ceived a majority of all votes and was
declared the choice of the conference.
Rev. L. P. Bergstrom, of Winthrop,
Minn., was unanimously elected treas
urer, but explained that it would be im
possible for him to accept the office at
the salary allowed the treasurer. He
said that he had a correspondence which
took up a great deal of his time and that
it would be necessary for him to employ
additional help in case he again accepted
the office. The conference was disposed
to treat him with due consideration, and
a motion was made that he be allowed
$300 extra for work done and expenses
paid, but the motion went over until af
ter his report as treasurer is received.
Many of the delegates who fear that the
conference will be unable to dispose of
its business within the time allotted for
business meetings, favored additional
business, meetings from 3:30 to 5 in the
afternoon, but others figured that this
would naturally shorten the time for re
ligious papers and discussion and the
question was voted down by an over
whelming vote.
Requests were made by several small
churches throughout the district for aid,
and these requests will be acted upon
later. Shortly before adjournment this
forenoon one of the delegates presented
an invitation from Gen. Reeve for the
delegates to visit the prison, but they
have not yet decided when they will
avail themselves of the opportunity.
Many will attend chapel exercises there
next Saturday morning.
This afternoon the delegates listened
to an able sermon by Rev. C. J. Kdman,
of East Union, Minn., on "What It
Means to Find Christ," and the sermon
tyas followed by a discussion covering
points advanced in the sermon.

change and there will be no difficulty
from this time on in getting patients
into the hospital without the^necesslty of
