DUNG 111 IN
HOUSE votes to reconsider ITS
ACTION OF LAST SAT
URDAY
SENT BACK TO GOVERNOR
Attorney General Rules That House
Exceeded Its Authority in
Recalling; the
Measure.
Representative Berg precipitated a dis
cussion in the house yesterday by a mo
tion to reconsider the vote by which the
Deming parole bill was Indefinitely post
poned en Saturday. Mr. Berg voted to
kill the bill at that time, despite his
original support of the measure.
When the bill was defeated Saturday
in order to prevent its friends from again
bringing it up, Mr. Laybourn offered a
motion to reconsider the vote and have
the motion tabled. Berore the speaker
could put the motion Mr. Hilliary, a
staunch friend of the bill, assured" hi 3
opponents that no such motion as that
proposed by Mr." Laybourn would be nec
.essary, as the parole bill advocates real
ized their defeat and would make no
further attempt to revive the matter.
Upon this assurance Mr. Laybourn
dropped 1 is motion.
Scarcely had the Berg motion been
made than Mr. Laybourn was on his feet
to. protest against the motion, bas
his action on the tacit agreement which,
he maintained, had been entered into
Saturday. Mr. Kelly, 10 whom tr.e
thought of the Deming bill is a nght
mare, quickly took sides with Mr. Lay
bourn and said that the house- ha ! < nee
exceeded its rights in revoking this ti::,
after it had passed from its posses.ion
and should not revive the matter. To
this Mr. Hickey, of St. Paul, urged the
house that since its action in recalling
the bill from the governor had teen de
cided invalid, it ought to divest itself of
undue responsibility by sending the bill
back to the executive's departme t.
Common courtesy, he said, demanded It.
The Berg motion was carried, and by
ft vote of 69 to 41 the Younger bill was
returned to the governor.
Attorney General Douglas states un
equivocally that the action of the horse
In recalling the bill Saturday was un
constitutional. Having passed the sen
ate it had become as much a senate bill
as a house measure, and all authorities
agree that neither body without the c n
currence of the other, could recall th-j
kill. The attorney general finds two Su
preme court decisions holding that after
ft bill has been jointly passed it cannot
fee recalled from the governor by the leg
islature, even if both houses demand .t
To offset this, he rinds also that - three
Such authorities decide that a legislature
that is, both houses, can take such ac
tion. He therefore concludes that if bo.h
the house and senate had demanded t c
Sill's return to the house where it oiig
inated, the action would have been valid
nile Attorney General Douglas s
free to admit that the action of the house
Saturday had absolutely no effect upon
the bill, he is not prepared to state posi
tively that the biil is yet a law by virtue
of being "pocketed"— been in the
governors possession th/t- lequirtd days
Tjpon the theory that the bill was not
definitely in the hands of 'the governor
until yesterday, it will not become a law
until Friday morning. it is generally
accepted that Gov. Van Sant will allow
the bill to become a law without his sig
nature.

Representative Roberts Says Things
About the Johnson Bill.
Mr. Roberts, of Minneapolis, in an out
burst of what might be considered ''right
eous indignation," yesterday referred no
the Johnson road and bridge fund bill
in this wise:
"It's a grant steal, a slop-over steal,
an unconstitutional steak"
As the author of this bill, Representa
tive L. H. Johnson,- of Minneapolis, is in
the bridge building business, the house
was not so dense but that it grasped the
significance of Mr. Robert's denunciation
of the bill as a "steal," but ~ there was
some little doubt as to just what was
meant by a "slop-over" steal. Likewise
the house was startled to think tnat there
could be such a thing as a "constitu
tional" steal, which was implied by the
charge of an "unconstitutional steal."
All session Mr. Johnson has endeavored
to get such a bill through the house. It
appeared that the fates were against him
until yesterday. His bill, which was in
troduced by the consent of the governor,
was passed under suspension of the rules.
It provides for the distribution of the re
maining $32,000 in the internal improve
ment fund for the construction of bridges
and improvement of a few. roads. Each
county will get on an average of 5400.
ANTI-MARRIAGE BILL, PASSES.
House Finally Approve* Senator
Chilton's Measure.
Senator Chilton's "anti-marriage" bill,
considerably modified, passed the house
r-sterday by a vote of 63 to 55. Having
already passed the senate it may now be
come a law, providing Gov. c Van Sant
does not object.
As finally passed the vital sections of
the bill read as follows:
"No officer authorized by law to issue
marriage licenses in this state shall here
after issue such license to any persons
tivher ot whom is afflicted with any of th,3
diseases mentioned in sect'on 1 of this
act (epilepsy, imbecility, feeb'.e-minded
n<. or insanity) knnwine mem to be ;«">
afflicted, unless the female party to such
marriage is over the age of fortv-nye
years. No clergyman or officer of this
state, shall heieafter perform a marriage
ceremony, uniting persons in matrimony,
either of whom is afflicted with epilepsy,
■mbeciiity feeble-mhidedncss ov 'nsanitv.
knowing" them to be so afflicted, unless
the female party to such marriage is over
the age of forty-five years."
HO'ISE BREVITIES.
attorney General Douglas has decided
that Sherman S. Smith's bill, fixing
house members salary at $750 for the
!5 s.Mon. senators at $1.5;,0 and the sneak
er's and ! resident's of the senate at $I.OCO,
is within the limit of the constitution.
The bill was put to a vote yesterday af
ternoon and lacked some of having
er.ough to pass it. The result was forty
nine for aad forty-seven against it. Mr.
Smith changed his vote for the purpose
of moving for a reconsideration and the
bill tomes up today at the head of the
calendar.
The house passed the senate bill
amending '.he "Somerv lie law," si-callei.
Senator Snydor's bil'. advocating the
adoption of the Torrena law in the con
veyances of land titles, was passed by
the house yesterday.
By the passage of the Morris bill, any
p.rscn rolling through his meadow, a
repeating rifle thrown over his shoulder
and a bird dog at his side, out of hunt
ing season, shall be under suspicion of
violating the game law and this will be
taken as prima facie evidence of such
offense. ;
The house killed the senate bill pro
viding a schedule of salaries for certain
probate judges. The bill cailed for in
creases in each instance.
The Haughland blind pig bill passed the
house yesterday afternoon. This bill
prevents any character of intoxicants to

INVESTIGATION IS ORDERED
Senate Instructs Attorney General
to Look. Into Humor* That
Range RoHdw Are About
to Consolidate.
Senator Miller introduced into the sen
ate yesterday a resolution instructing the
attorney general to investigate the truth
of the reported consolidation of the Du
luth & Iron Range and the Duluth, Mis
sabe & Northern Railway companies, and
to prevent by legal means such combina
tions as may be unlawful in this state.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, tt is currently reported that
the Duluth & Tron Rang-e Railroad com
pany, and the Duluth, Messabe & North
ern Railway company have consolidated,
or are about to consolidate their stock,
property and franchises and become
merged'into the trust known as the Unit
ed States Steel corporation, in violation
of the law of Minnesota, which prohibits
the consolidation of parallel or compet
ing lines of railway; and,
Whereas, it is reported in the dis
patches from New York that a great
trust in the form of a corporation is be
ing organized to consolidate and control
the stock, property and franchises of cer
tain other great railway lines of this
state, in violation of the law of Minne
sota, and to the immeasurable damage of
the people of this state; therefore,
Resolved, That the attorney general is
hereby directed to at once investigate as
to whether any railroad companies in this
state have already entered into, or are
about to enter into, any trust, combina
tion or consolidation, in violation of the
letter or of the spirit of the laws of the
state; and in case the attorney general
shall find reasonable grounds to believe
that any such railroads have entered into
or are about to enter into any unlawful
trust, combination or consolidation, he is
hereby directed to take such steps as
may be necessary to enforce the law
and protect the people of this state,
either by proceedings to forfeit the char
ters of the offending railroads or by
injunction to restrain them from threat
ened unlawful acts, or by invoking such
other remedies as may be appropriate.
Senator Daugherty at once gave notice
of debate, putting the resolution over one
day under the rules. Senator Miiler
asked that the rules be suspended and the
resolution be acted upon. This would re
quire a two-thirds vote of 42. There werj
eighteen senators absent f.nd not voting,
thirty-two voting for suspension and
thirteen against. The resolution will be
taken up today.
Two much discussed bills met a Water
loo in the senate yesterday. These were
the Reeves text book bill, so persistently
fought by Minnesota educators, and the
Snyder Civil Service bill. The Washburn
tax bill was the subject of sharp debate
but finally passed during the forenoon.
Senator Stockton's optician bill was lost
by a vote of 29 to 22. Another Washburn
measure was given wide discussion. It
provides for the enforcement of payment
of taxes now remaining delinquent for
the year 1895 and prior years and affects
only the counties of Pine, St. Louis, Ren
ton and Mille Lacs. The bill was at first
lost, but upon motion of Senator Bald
win reconsidered and passed unanimous
ly.
Spirited debate was ocasioned wnen the
Knatvold bill, providing for the purchase
and presentation to those winning them
of medals awarded at the Paris exposi
tion to Minnesota buttermakers, came
up.
Senators Knatvold and Thompson took
up the cudgels for their favorite and the
measure finally passed by a vote of 34 to
13. The Potter medical bill was discussed
briefly and put to a vote. The was lost.
but was reconsidered upon motion of
Senator Potter and laid upon the table.
The afternoon was largely given to a
discussion of the Underleak National
Park Reserve memorial to congress.
Much eloquence was expended on behalf
of the measure. Senator Baaghcrty op
posed it. The memorial carried with but
five dissenting votes, as follows: Bald
win, Buckman. Daugherty, McCarthy.
Hawkins. Senator Daugherty moved that
a record of the vote by which the me
morial was passed should accompany it to
congress. The motion was lost.

A SUFFERING WIFE
Saved by the Suggestion of a
Thoughtful Husband.
A man can rarely enter into a woman's
sufferings when they are caused by dis
eases peculiarly feminine. Even when
the character of the suffering is graph
ically described the man cannot appre
ciate the force of terms for which he has
no equivalent in his experience. All
he can do is to sympathize and suggest.
But when a woman hears the story of
a woman's suffering every word has its
just weight with her. Even more, she
m \\ [ L^o/ fv r^f&jLjL K^-fl- r *x
reads between the lines of the story and
understands the unspeakable anguish
and dread begotten of extreme nervous
ness and weakness. No woman can read
the sorrowful story of suffering told be
low by Mrs. McAdoo, without heartfelt
sympathy with her condition and heart
felt gratitude for her enre.
c "It is with pleasure that I add my tes
timony to that of others, hoping it may
induce others to avail themselves of the
benefit of your invaluable medicines,"
writes Mrs. R. G. McAdoo, of Whiting,
Mississippi County, Missouri. "Nearly
a year ago I was taken down with a
severe case of sickness. I suffered un
told pains and misery such as no one can
describe. Was confined to my bed most
of the time. I could turn no way with
out it giving me pain. I was afflicted
with falling of the uterus and ulceration.
Had a bad drain all the time, and drag
*ing-down pains through my back and
hips; no appetite; bowels were costive;
had smarting, itching and burning in
the vagina all the time. My head and
temples, back of my neck, shoulders and
sides pained severely. Had kidney
trouble, too/ I ached all over; had cold
feet and hands all the time. I suffered
a great deal with pains in both sides,
and much tenderness on pressing over
the uterus. I was bloated terribly at
times in bowels and limbs. I could"not
sleep; noise it seemed would kill me. I
could not get on my feet alone. I can
not describe the constant pain to which
I was subject every moment of my life.
Was so reduced in flesh and strength
that I could scarcely walk across the floor
any of the time. I was treated by #ood
doctors, but they just gave me something
to ease me for a little while at a time.
They said they could not cure me or do
anything that would greatly benefit me.
My husband suggested one day that I
try some of Dr. Pierces Favorite Pre
scription. I asked him to get me a bot
tle of it. He gave me a tablespoonful,
and it soon eased me. He then wrote to
Dr. Pierce in regard to my case. We

ical Advisers.' Di. Pierce tnld niv lvi«-

DO YOU BELIEVE IT'S TRUE.
Thai Medicine Cures Disease?
When a person dies who can tell wheth
er he died from the effects- of disease,
or from malpractice, or from the medi
cines administered. Nature cures dis
ease in her own way. Not man's way!
Oxygen supports life and increases vi
tality. The Oxydonor infuses oxygen
into the human body or any living or
ganism, and cures disease far beyond
any medication.
Do you believe this? Only use it and
you can prove it.

directions. I did so, and began to im
prove fast. If anyone doubts this give
name and address. I will always rec
ommend Dr. Pierces medicines and his
advice to all sufferers from diseases to
which females are subject. He has been
as kind as a father to me; advised me as
a child. I believe if my husband had
not written to Dr. Pierce last fall and
commenced giving me his medicine, I
would have died in a short time."
HUSBAND WISER THAN DOCTORS.
When the doctors pronounced his
wife's case incurable, it was the hus
band who suggested the
trial of Dr. Pierces Fa^
vorite Prescription. It
was the prompt bf'lefit
derived from the use of
" Favorite Pi esci iption "
that induced the husband
to consult Dr. Pierce by
letter on his wife's behalf.
The result was a complete
cure. This result com
monly follows a fair and
faithful trial of Dr. Pierce'a
Favorite Prescription. It
was made to cure wom
anly diseases and it does
■what it was made to do.
It has cured hundreds of
thousands of weak and
sick women and cured
them perfectly and per
manently. A great num
ber of these cures have
been effected after doc
tors had pronounced the
sufferer incurable and
condemned her to a mar
tyrdom of misery for the
term cf her natural life.

benefit I have received from the use of
your medicines," says Mrs. Sidney B.

" I am so grateful to you for your ndvice.
When I coir me need your medicines I
had been treated by different doctors for
three months or more, but would only
receive partial relief for a short while and
then would be worse than before their
treatment. Was confined to my bed
most of the time. At the time I com
menced your treatment my left side was
completely paralyzed. Had no appetite,
no desire to eat anything; bowels costive
all the time. Nerves were all unstrung,
iso I could not bear the least noise. I also
suffered from diseased ovaries and female
weakness. But thanks to my Maker and
you, after following your advice, I am
able to do all my washing, sewing End
house work in general. I haven't had a
spasm in two months. Left off medicines
about one month ago. Didn't think it
necessary to continue them longer. I
have taken Dr. Pierces Favorite Pre
scription, 'Golden Medical Discovery, 1
and ' Pleasant Pellets.' "
Every sick woman especially if suffer

vited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter/;?<».

XEW YORK DEPARTMENT STOKE
COMBINE IS A GO.
NEW YORK, April 9.—Offical notice
of the rumored combination
ment stores was given today by J. P.
Morgan & Co., who solicit subscriptions
to the stock of the Associated Merchants
company. The company is capitalize at
$20,000,000 and proposes to 'e<i:iire dry
goods businesses or interest.- in this and
other cities. The prospectus st..te<: that
a one-half interest has be«n secured in,
both the H. B. Claflin company and tn*
Adams Dry Goods company and that the
James McCreery & Co.s Twenty-third
street store has'been bought outright.
According to a source closely connected
with the dry goods trade the Byndicato
being formed by James Claflin intends f
purchase a controlling interest in each
of the four stores to be inci.idrd. A
new controlling company will then b*
formed, the capital stock of which will be
exchanged for the stocks of th • constit
uent companies while some of th<> pre
ferred will be put on the market. The
probable stock and bond issue is esti
mated as high as $20,0^0.C00.
One consideration which makes tha
transaction somewhat complicated is tne
difficulty of determining fair valuations
for the various stocks. It is no, • ften
that these securities change nan as and
well informed dry goods men say that It
Is impossible in many cases to name even
an approximate selling price.
