three years. and when recalled by the last
administration came as the accredItt

BILLS THAT HAVE PASSED
The Work Of the Twenty-Sixth Session
OF the Minnesota Legislature Com
p'etcd Last Night.
The State Is ReappOrtiOned-A Full
List of All Appropriations For
Various Purposes.

The Minnesota Legislature has adjourned.
1t has been u long and in many ways
tedious session. Much time has undoubt-
eddy Teen wasted, and the wisdom of the
lengthcning of the session has been often
questioned. The number of bills introduced
has reached the enormous total of nearly
two thousand, as against about 1900 for
the last session. which in turn showed
the largest numEer up to that time. or
these large proportion, some good and
some bad, were lost; but nearly thousand
of them survived the SCRUTINY of comm t.
tees of house and senate and have become
engr"fted INFO the body of the laws of the
state As Il whole, the poor bills passed are
less in number than the good bills killed. 1t
has been IL session of small bills. The an
usually large number OF lawyers IN the
lower house has led to a mass of curative
acts, which have only perfected the laws
which now stand on the statute books. At
the same time large number of important
laws have been made which will ever stand
TO the credit of those who made them.

as a medicine, and If agriculturists
would turn their attention to raising
a model onion, with the strong
scent taken out that taints tho

putting their "pills' in the cellar by
the barrel, and the doctors would take
to onion farming. The onion acts as a
cathartic and diuretic, and may help
to break up cold or lesson the bad
symptoms. Said doctor: IL always
store a barrel of onions in my cellar
in the fall. We have them cooked
twice week, and whoever of the fami-
ly is threatened with u cold eats some
onion raw. If this vegetable were
generally eaten, there would be no
diphtheria, rheumatism, go&t, kidney
or stomach troubles. But bless YOU!
the young men and women are afraid

A Young Girl Rnried Alixo

Edward Rath, q German Iaborer, lives
aIon" in half tumble down shanty at SYRIA.
cusn. y. I. Up to March p. he had as an
only companion n seventeen year old daugh.
ter Emma, a pretty and intelligent girl
About the middle of March Emma caught a
cold which settled on her lungs. Her two
sisters came home to assist the neighbors to
car" for the dying girl. On Friday, March.
D, at about o'clock in the mornino she
ceased to breathe. The body was lett for
about four hOu1s, when Mrs Francis Zeablpr
and another neighbOr dressed it for burial
They were surprised to find that the BODY
was warm. Later in the day an undertaken
took charge of the remains The funeral
took place the next Sunday afternoon, and
the body was buried in the Geddes cemetery
Mr.. Rath, WHO'S employed as labOrer by Alon-
70 +. NrOOman, a mason. and who also is
Sexton of Geddes cemetery, dug the grave
himself. Alter the funeral the old mans
children went to their various homes and he
remained alone in the shanty The loss of
his daughter bore heavily the old man s
mind, and he spent much Of his leisure time
with his neighbOrs, where the fact of the
girl body being warm several hours after
her breathing her last seemed to have never
ceased to be talked over.
The possibility of the girl being buried alive
proved upon his mind so that. without
speaking of his intention. he uncovered the
grave last week. The rough box containing
his daughters body was opened, and the lid
taken from the coffin. No sooner was the
glass uncovered than the grief-strcken father
was Mortified to see the body of the young
girl lying over on one side. He says that
her hands were clasped over her face and
her brown hair was tangled up over her ewes
as though she had torn it in terrible agony
Mr.. Rath says there were finger marks upon
her face. He says that he was nearly paral-
yzed with terror, and hastily replaced the
cover. shOveed the dirt back into the grave,
and ran from the place.
The experience has made him nearly insane
The doctor who attended the girl says that
he last saw her the evening before death was
supposed to have occurred, He then left
morphine for her to take. and did not expect
her to die SO soon. The uRdert aker who had
charge of the funeral says he is positive that
the young girl was dead, but the woman who
robed her for the grave admits that the body
was warm when she performed that service
