NUNS f NORTHWEST LEGISLATURES Iff ABIII HOUSE COMMITTEE ON TEMPER ANCE HOLDS ANOTHER PUB LIC MEETING WINE ROOMS TO BE ABOLISHED Representatives of st. Pan), Minne apolis and Stillwater Present Their Views on the Subject. The house committee on temperance has at last decided upon a method for abolishing the wine room. The Arm strong bill slightly modified, introduced early In the session and which has been previously reviewed, was last night adopted by the majority of the com mittee as the one which would be reborn* mended for passage. The actual -measure" thus acted upon was a substitute - bill presented to the committee last night by Mr. Armstrong. It merely eliminates the clause in the original bill which provided that the curtains and other obstructions should be removed during the hours when the saloon is required by law to b& closed. The committee met last night publicly for the third time and there was a rep resentative attendance of the temperance people, including many prominent citi zens of St. Paul, Stillwater and one or two from Minneapolis At the last meeting of the committee Judge Netheway, of Stillwater, In a speech upon the wine room question, ad vised thai a different measure than the Armstrong bill 1 be introduced and a sub committee was then appointed to take this proposition under consideration. Last night the subcommittee reported a bill drafted by Judge Netheway. This bill contained three essential provisions. It first made- it an offense for any female to enter a saloon or place' where intoxi cants are sold; second. It penalized the net of a man taking or accompanying any female in a saloon, and, third, it pro hibited any saloonkeeper from "'' selling liquor to or allowing a female to enter his place of business. The penalty which the bill attached for ii violation of this act was a line not to exceed $100 and a term of imprisonment not more than ninety days. Its pro visions were not to apply to the brother, father or husband of a woman, who should enter a saloon accompanied by a man. NETHEWAY BILL IMPRACTICAL. Attorney J. D. O'Brien, of this city, was one who addressed the committee He thought the Netheway bill not as effectual or practical as the Armstrong measure. He believed that if passed it would be difficult to enforce for^wo es sential reasons—first, that it would be held as an infringement on personal rights, and, second, that it would be attacked on the grounds of being un constitutional. Mr. O'Brien stated that if the committee was desirous of bringing about some adequate remedy for the gen erally accepted evils of the wine room, they ought to adopt the Armstrong bill. In his argument he said that the bill of Judge Netheway would result in the pun ishment of innocent parties quite fre quently. An innocent victim might be enticed into a wine room by a male es cort, and when found there placed un der the odium of arrest and conviction for a crime which was forced upon her by false misrepresentations. These were practically the sentiments advocated by all those who appeared in the interest of anti-wine room legisla tion. All the speakers advocated the Armstrong bill in preference fo that drafted by Judge Netheway and sub mitted by the subcommittee, and urged that it devolved rightly upon the legis lature to take some action that would provide a means of abolishing the wine room. Besides Mr. O'Brien those who spoke were the following: state Superintendent Beatty, of Minneapolis, of the Anti- Saloon league; Robert.A. Kirk, president of the firm of Farwell, Ozmun, Kirk & Co.; E. B. Ebelin, H. C. Fairchild, Wil liam Faulk, Joseph McKibbon, of the wholesale firm of St. Paul; Mrs. Bloomer, of the Woman's Temperance League of Stillwater; John O'Brien, president of Father Mathew's Temperance society; F. W. Gail, an attorney, and the Rev. Phillip Thelander, of the same city. Sen- ENLARGED PROSTATE CURED After Suffering 25 Years, a Northern New York Citizen Is Fully Cured. Capt. W. G. We_>tcott's Good Fortune. Men afflicted' with enlargement of the prostate gland can be found in every community. Instruments and catheters give them some relief, but not a cure. After trying all kinds of cures and sur gical operations they at last give up in despair. It is. therefore, very pleasing to relate the fact that prostatic troubles can be cured permanently and painlessly without operation. CAPT. W. G. WESTCOTT. SACKETT HARBOR. N. Y. The .remarkable cure of Capt. West cott is, therefore, of special interest. He had heard of the Solvcnt-Alte-rans sys tem, and finally decided to give it a test, and the results were astonishing. He says: ''1 had been afflicted f<sr twenty-five years with chronic prostatic obstruction. The catheter was my con stant companion and as much a necessity as food. I had little faith in Solvent- Alterans, having been treated by special ists in Bellevue hospital with no benefit, and had returned home fully convinced no cure could be found by their treat ments. When I learned of Solvent-Al terans I determined to make another ef fort, with the result that I have not used the catheter for more than three years. 1 now pass urine with perfect freedom. It comes quickly without ef fort, the bladder is fully drained of its -contents, and there is no distress attend ing the effort." It is our belief that hundreds of our readers can have the same good fortune that Capt. Westcott had. The Solvent- Alterans system is certainly an,lmprove ment on old methods. Among Its many advantages is ths absence of pain and freedom from* danger; ho operation Is needed, nor is there loss of time from work. Every man can know the full •truth in regard to the Solvent-Alterans. , A lintfy, illustrated book describing the system can be obtained for the asking. All t..at you need do is to send your name and address and the book will be sent sealed, by mall, free of expense. Every afflicted man should immediately send A the book. Address the Empire Medical Company, Dept. 21, 404 Atlantic A.ye.. Boston, Mass ator Halvorson also offered a protest against the wine room. After some deliberation the committee voted down the Netheway bill, which Representative Dunn, of St. Paul, moved be substituted and recommended for pas sage instead the Armstrong measure. Mr. Hilliary, of the house, wanted to amend the Armstrong bill so that only the doors of the wine rooms, and not the entire booths, would be removed or destroyed. The main agrument against this will was that it required the total destruction of the booths or wine rooms. The amend ment did not prevail, and the Armstrong bill was recommended for passage. SENATE HAS SHORT SESSION. Bills Awaiting; Action Under General Orders Were Locked Up. Last nights session of the senate was exactly wlmt everyone who is at all fa miliar with the manner in which that body transacts business expected it would be, short and perfunctory. The lawmak ers had spent the day "junketing" and were too tired to sit for two or three hours listening to verbose arguments for and against the big stack of bills that awaits their action. Six bills were in troduced, and then adjournment was taken until this morning. As a matter of justice to all the gen- | tlemen who sit -in the upper house, it should be stated that the short session was forced upon . them. When general orders was reached the appalling discov ery was made that .all bills awaiting ac tion were locked up in the safe, and that the clerk who carries' the key was not present. As none of the other employes knew .the combination, there was noth ing to do but acquiesce In the motion to adjourn. Several senators, as soon as they comprehended the situation and saw that a cessation from work could not be avoided, became properly Indig nant because general orders could not be taken up, and then rushed irom the chamber to seek solace and to woo back their good nature under the sunny influ ences of the genial Thomas Seabrooke and his bevy of beauties. It was more v than hinted that a desire on the part of some of the solons to round out their day's pleasure by a trip to the theater was responsible for the absence of the clerk with the combination; but this is undoubtedly a libel on this body of hard working patriots. Thirty-six senators answered roll call and the Wilson bill limiting the time in which a district judge shall file de cisions was repassed as amended by the house during the half-hour session. Tho bill as amended provides tnat decision must be filed within five months after trial of case. V The Daugherty sanatorium bill is a special order for today and the reap portionment bill will be a special order for tomorrow. General orders will con sequently be given another setback of two days. * MEMBERS GO JUNKETING. Even Jacobson Forsakes Ills Desk !»nd Takes a Trip. Yesterday was "junket day" for the house. Members of three committees were absent, and as. a result threte state institutions were visited—the reforma tory at St. Cloud, the state university and agricultural college. A rather amusing incident in connec tion with the junketing fever occurred in the house Wednesday. Mr. Jacobson had the floor and was about to declaim against the practice which he said had been absorbing too much of the time which- ought to have been spent at work in the house. In the nick, of time, how ever, in order to save the man from , Lac gui Parle from Increased embarrass- | ment, Mr. Wallace, of Hennepin, whis- ' pered a reminder to him that he was on the committee that would hjave to visit i the state university on the following fey j and maybe it would be as well for him | to close his argument. Some of the members have allowed ! these frequent Junkets to pass by, but Representative L. -C. Stevenson, of the | Forty-first district, in Hennepin county, is not of this number. So regular has his attendance been upon these excur sions or pleasure trips that he has gone down in the history of the Thirty-second Minnesota legislature as "Junket Steve." His colleagues say he has not missed an opportunity to attend one of these func- ■ tions. 3VEW HOUSE BILLS. H. F. 424, Appropriation Committee, as Substitute of H.

AI All .10 DO HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES SUC CEEDS IN CATCHING UP WITH ITS WORK , MORE SHORT SESSION TALK Bills Providing; for Keeping; Records and Doing;* of Minnesota Sol diers Recommended for I'iisNUge. Despite the .fact that a bare quorum was present yesterday the house succN:d ed in completing. all the work on the docket and at the close of the day pre sented a clearer slate than it has had this session. The meeting adjourned at noon. It begins to look as if the "short session" apostles are getting in their work. •' • It had been expected that the early ad journment resolution might come up, but as many of the members . who are tak ing active parts on both sides of this pro position were away on junkets. Mr. Ja cobson being among the number, this was passed, It Is the general belief that although a manifest opposition .to the resolution still exists, the longer the de lay of action in the house, the weaker the opposition will become. A bill was introduced yesterday by Mr. Stark which is supposed to be indorsed by retail merchants throughout the state. It imposes a license fee of $1 per day* $10 a month, and $40 a year on all peddlers in any organized municipality in the state. The penalty attached for viola tion of this statute is a fine of not less than $10 and n< t more than . $100. or a term of imprisonment * not to exceed ninety days. ' • Any city council or other municipal governing body shall have the right to impose "reasonable" restrictions upon persons conducting public bathing estab lishments, massage parlors,, clairvoyant, mind-reading or faith healing, institutes under a bill introduced by Mr. Hurd. Mr. Alley's bill relating to sales of real estate belong to the estates of deceased persons by executors and administrators was passed.. _ - After another prolonged discussion, such as have characterized the considera tion of this measure, the house in the committee of the whole, recommended for passage the bill of Representative Jackson, authorizing the appointment of a commission to ascertain and exactly determine the position of the Minnesota troops in the campaign and seige of Vicksburg, and to make an appropriation necessary to pay the traveling expenses of the members of the commission. It is held that, no records are intact that will furnish the informatipn sought through this measure and that as other states have resorted to similar courses for the purpose, of preserving the history of their Civil war troops, Minnesota should avail itself of this opportunity be fore it is lost by reason of the death of the veterans. No compensation is to be paid to those who attend to this work for the state. The Dorsey bill which provides for a history of Minnesota's troops during the late Spanish-American war was also re commended for passage. HOUSE BREVITIES. Albert Berg gained a victory yesterday I when the house decided to place his I general drainage bill on the calendar. j This measure calls for an appropriation of $25,000 for this year and the rame ,for j 1902. Ropresenative Kelly, of Northfield, has j not relented in his bitter a_*Tagonism j of the Younger bill, and when it comes up on the special order this afternoon he j will try to see that it gets a respectable j burial. Mr. Deming will make a hard ! fight for his measure. Quite a bit of attention was attracted rto the calendar yesterday. It contained j seven bills. When the house came to j this item of business it was found that I the first bill on the calendar had been I tabled the day before and therefore was j out of place; four of the measures had been passed on the preceding, day, and this left but two legitimately tabulated. Some of the members criticised such clerical errors, Int the chief clerk assur ed the speaker and the speaker in turn informed the house that the mistakes | were the fault of the printer— course, j and the matter was dropped—the printer ; being absent. Prof. Hays, of the state experiment j station, will draft the nev/ highway com- I mission bill by request. Mr. Alford's • bill yesterday in the | house, which provides that cities and | towns most pay for the arrest and con l viction of simple drunks and vagrants, ; arrested within their limits, will relieve St. Louis of an onorous imposition. j There the constables are aH deputy sher iffs, and when they arrest a man for I drunkenness or vagrancy anywhere on j tne range, they "place the bill of cx i pense against She county, instead of the" | town in which the an est is made. Kansas City.—George J. Gould and wife and their children arrived here* In a special train over the Missouri Pacific from St. Louis.

The lost child, who presently finds his way home in the policeman's protecting arms, is hugged to his mother's heart with a new joy. But the mother's heart is empty as her arms when her children are lost for life.

I Mi II IE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY WANTS BANKRUPTCY LAW RE-,. PEALED i INCREASING THE TAX LEVY i Medical Men Stirred Up — Object to Having Osteopathy, Christian Sci ence and Magnetic Healing Legally Recognized. - BISMARCK, March 6.—(Special.)—The legislative assembly of the state wants the Nelson bankruptcy law repealed, and a memorial to the state's representatives in congress asking them to work and vote for its repeal has been favorably reported from the senate judiciary com mittee, and will probably pass. The bill for the taxation of express companies, telegraph companies and other corpora tions of the kind, under the provisions of the constitutional amendment adopted at the last election, has been favorably reported, and will probably pass both houses, and something will be added to the tax rolls of ' the' state under Its provisions. The county auditor's salary bill, which was passed, In the house In such a way that the increases might not apply to present auditors, was amended by the senate striking out this provision of the bill and providing that It apply to the present auditors. ' As the present auditors are the one!F who have done the work toward getting! this bill introduced and passed, they ought certainly to profit by Its provisions, and the senate amend ment bids fair to be ; cqpcurred in. '*'•' The tax levy the .coming year will be a little heavier thahr In'the past. Both houses have passed the bill for the levy of a special tax to take Tup the $153,000 of bonds for the state asylum, and the state board of equalization next summer will provide for this aside from the other taxes of the state. These bonds are due in May, 1902. The special tax will pro vide for their payment, and when they are taken up the debt of the state will be reduced inside the limit by that amount, and it will be possible to issue new bonds, the proceeds of which can go into the state general fund. This will provide for the $150,000 of . funding war rants that were issued at the opening of the year to pay the state deficit and provide for the expenses of the legislative expenses. According to the.figures of the leaders of the house and senate, tTTe appropriations made by the legislative as sembly, including the standing appropria tions, are comfortably inside the rev enues. The $75,000 of outstanding twine plant certificates are provided for In the penitentiary bonding bill,, so that their payment will not embarrass the general fund when they fall due In November of next year. Indications are that the open ing of the next legislative session will see the finances of the state in better condition.' ' The medical men of-the state, who had the. bill introduced that regulates" medical practice and worked hard If or its passage through the senate, are now working as hard to kill it ln Its amended form. They say that professional"'pride alone would Induce them to work to>kill a bill which officially and legally;recognized osteopa thy. Christian science and magnetic heal ing as legitimate branches of the profes sion of treating disease.^ Another matter that the physicians argue is that In case any quack treated disease and was ar tested for violating the- law, he might plead that he was 'a Christian Scientist or a magnetic healer, atid go free under the terms: of the law. J^i' The indications are that the number of new laws will be • much; larger than was expected when the- session opened. The new codes have beenriddled with amend ments, aside from afeige amount of new legislation, minor fH!dt§ character 1 in most instances, but sufficient in quantity to keep the law-abi^in^ .citizen studying to see what hew provisions the legisla tors have added for i his guidance and government. There are about 125 bills on third reading in the two . houses for the last week of the session—bills that have passed one house, and need . only .the passage in the. other to send them to the governor.^ The executive will, have his hands full to examine all bills that pass irf the last week and 'approve, or. disap prove In the prescribed time after tho legislature adjourns. .Ws*% I years he was ■ occupied as a teacher.

DEAD ASA ill CAPITAL REMOVAL SCHEME IN SOUTH DAKOTA GETS A '... KNOCKOUT BLOW COMBINE COULD NOT AGREE Pass a Lot of Special Appropriation Bills and Provide for the Codification of the Laws. PIERRE, S. D., March 6.—(Special.)— Upon reconvening yesterday afternoon the senate continued consideration of house special appropriation bills. In the meantime the anti-combine had gone to pieces and the Watertown people gave it out cold that since they were not to have a share in the spoils they intended to help Pierre kill the. capital removal proposition. The Rapid City special appropriation passed witb nine votes to spare. Yank ton get $53,000 for deficiencies with only two dissenting votes, and the deaf school" at Sioux Falls got $3,500 for a hospital The. Gary blind asylum was given $15,000 for a new building. The senate bill ap propriating $11,400 .for the completion of the dormitory at Madison, which was lost yesterday, was reconsidered and passed with eight votes to spare. The Reddeld deficiency bill, which was killed twice in the morning, was again reconsidered and this time passed with only three dis senting votes. Adjt. Gen. Humphrey's salary bill pass ed unanimously. The capital removal fight was then taken up on motion of Stewart, the champions of Pierre Insisting upon imme diate consideration and Mitchell lighting for delay. Loomis, who has,led the fight against Pierre through desire for re venge, made an impassioned and bitter speech favoring Mitchell and denouncing Pierre and the country tributary to It. Stewart made a-powerful speech in be half of Pierre, insisting that it was use less to disguise the fact that the move ment to take the capital away was en tirely selfish, and showing that the whole proposition at this time was conceived not through friendship for Mitchell or any other town, but as a club to in fluence legislation in a baleful manner. Johnston, of Mitchell, declared he would be absolutely satisfied with the re sult of the fight, but wanted delay. He disclaimed any ill feeling against Pierre or her people. Stewart, in a reply to a question by Loomis, stated that the vote In the house was not a fair expression of the sentiment of the members. Twenty, five members who had voted against Pierre had como to him and expressed a hope that Pierre.would win. Englesby, of Watertown, announced that he had entered into a combination against appropriations, and. that the capital removal agitation was only in cidental to a desire to ''defeat the special appropriations.- In the ! capital light he favored Pierre and would so vote. On motion to indefinitely postpone far ther consideration of tbe removal resolu tion Pierre won by a-\ote of 31 to 14. The following bills passed the house: Appropriating $4,000 to reimburse Horace Fishback for repairs at Brookings col lege; authorizing counties to employ tax ferrets on commission; a lesolution mem orializing congress to protect the banks of the Missouri r'-ver in £•«.uthern countries; a resolution reques'ing congress to grant full title to Fort iotettfetcn military reser vation. 1. .'

Boomer Taken a Whirl at Britain in DlHcn«ftln& .;■:■:.,-.• Clayton - Bnlvier . Treaty- News of Washington. WASHINGTON, March Again today Vice President Roosevelt was the" central figure of the opening proceedings of the senate. When he arrived at his desk to call the senate to order a wave of ap plause swept over the thronged galleries. He evidently was impatient at the dem onstration and sharply tapping his desk with the gavel, warned the spectators that a repetition of the applause would result in an order to clear the galleries. After a brief debate the amendment to the rules of the senate placing a limit upon debate, offered yesterday by Sena tor Piatt (Conn.), was 'referred to the committee on rules. The debate develop ed the fact that no intention rests upon the part of the opponents of the amend ment to urge its discussion at the pres ent extraordinary session. Mr. Morgan, who yesterday introduced a resolution declaring the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty between the United States and Great Britain, act dressed the senate for nearly two hours upon his resolution. He declared that if Great Britain should endeavor to en force the terms of the treaty, the effort would result in a war in which the great empire which had controlled for scores of years the commerce of the world would be swept from power and her king would be left with only sovereignty over his own island. MORGAN AND JOHNNY BULL. After the - routine of "morning busi ness" had been transacted Mr. Morgan addressed the senate upon his resolu tion. He said he would exclude from his ar gument any consideration of the Pana ma canal commission. The only prospect of the construction of the Nicaragua canal now by the United States rested upon the protocols which had been en tered Into between this country and the governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. He challenged any senator to. point to a single proposition which Great Britain had made for such a modification of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty as would admit of the construction of the Nicaragua canal. No such action, he said, ever had been taken by Great Britain. . During all the time when Americans were "hugging to their bosoms" the delusion that Great Britain eventually would enter upon a friendly arrangement for the construc tion of the canal, Great Britain had preserved "a profound and golden si- nee." He called her silence "golden" because, he asserted, Great Britain through Liverpool, which the commer cial center of the world, was being enriched, and the United States because of the lack of the Nlcaraguan canal was contributing to the enrichment of Great Britain/ j "There cannot be anything more precious -today to Great Britain," said j Mr. Morgan, "than to prevent the con- | struction of the Nicaraguan canal. If ! Great Britain by her "golden silence" can j prevent that, her profits will continue and the longer she can do that the greater will be her profits on the Suez canal. She has remained as silent as the sphinx which looks out upon tne Nile and upon the desert, and she seems to be looking out upon a desert of wasted American opportunities, and, sad to say, American honor. Great Britain is still silent." With some feeling, in referring to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, the Alabama senator said: NO COMPROMISE. "We will make no compromise with Great Britain upon that subject. We will make no concession to Great 4 Britain in relation to the treaty. What we shall do with it (and some of our people are op posed even to that) is that we shall declare It abrogated. If the vote on my resolution could be taken today it would inform the president of the United States that he has no two-thirds majority in the senate to adopt any compromise he may make with Groat Britain. If it is the purpose of Great Brit;.in still to look for delay she will not get it. If it j be her determination to pick a quarrel with us about it she will find the United States can muster at least half the num ber of men who voted for the president In ; the last election—fighting men. And she I will find, when that war terminates, that the steel hand which binds the throne in London with Australia and India and passes through Canada will have been rent in twain, and' with its severance down will go the empire.
