VICTORY FOR THE FARMERS.
They Garry tho Day in the Minnesota
Legislature.


Legislature.
The deadlock in the Minnesota House of
Representatives has been broken by the
election of e. T. Champlin (Alliance)
Speaker. The Democrats withdrew their
candidate, Mr.. Stivers, and voted solidly
for Mr.. Champlin, the vote standing:
Champlin 70, Searle Al. The House
then adjourned to give the Alliance
Democratic combination an opportuni-
ty to agree upon the remainder of
its slate. P, J Smalley, Democrat, of Gale
donna, is to be chosen Clerk, and the two
parties will alternate on the remaining
offices and the committees. The Senate held
a short session, during which Senator Dean,
of ST. Paul, introduced voluminous bill to
prevent bribery, corruption, or intimida-
ton at elections. 1t requires every candi-
date for Office to file an affidavit of the
amount of money expended in his election,
and makes the violation of the law misde-
meanor, punishable by fine or imprisonment.
1t also makes the candidate forfeit the
election in case he has been chosen if the
Offense is proved against him. 1t is said the
conference of the Alliance and Democratic
members went farther than the organization

Kickapoos Have the Craze.

During the last week or ten days many
people have visited the Indian Mission,
eight miles northwest of Wetmore, Kan, to
witness the Indian pow-wow, which has
been in progress nearly every night for sew
eraI weeks. Although more civilize /
tribe than the Sioux, with which the ghost
dance originated, the KicBapoos have
caught the messiah craze and are making
things lively. The dance has been watched
with considerable interest by visitors and
citizens living near the reserve. However,
from the beginning, no outbreak has been
feared.

SEVERE WEATHER IN EUROPE.
Many Deaths Caused by the Unusually
Cold Winter.

Cold Winter.
1t is now the seventh week of the preva-
lence of frost throughout the United King
dom of Great Britain and Ireland, with no
signs of abatement Of the severity of the
weather. From John O'Groat's House to
Lands End the country is wrapped in snow,
and canals and creeks are frozen fast. For
duration of the frost period this is the
greatest winter of the century, and in point
of severity the winters of 1913 and 1914
alone exceeded it. Fairs were then
held on the Thames, Severn, Tyne and
Tweed. Booths were reared on the ice
and all the usual fair frolics were held
thereon. Numerous deaths have resulted
from the extreme cold, several of them at
the very gates of warehouses where groups
of poor people were waiting for shelter.
Midland newspapers declare that thousands
Of persons in that region are in condition
of semi-starvation many laborers being
con2pulsorily idle, without fires or food.
Mayors of cities, with the aid of local
boards, are directing an organized distribu-
ton of bread and coal and are starting re-
lief kitchens, still they fail to reach
host of cases of distress. Numerous
instances occur of coroner's inquests
on the bodies of people found dead in
bed, where the verdict is that death re-
suited from cold and hunger. In every
country on the continent there is suffering
because of the severe weather. The coasts
of Belgium, Holland, and North Germany
are blocked with ice. In the Scheldt River
navigation is nearly at q standstill on &C
count of the ice. At the North German
port of Cuxhaven twenty steamships
are ice bound. Pilots there are unable to
communicate with vessels on account Of
the ice-foes making the harbor inaccessible

WILL SACRIFICE THEMSELVES.
A Hundred and Fifty Men to Give a POr-
lion of Their CuticIe.

ton of Their Cuticle.
A week from next Sunday at the Emer-
gency Hospital in Chicago scene will be
witnessed more dramatic than was ever
presented on the stage of theater. This
will be the cutting off of portions Of the
skin from the bodies of seventy-five or one
hundred citizens and grating the severed
pieces of cuticle on the naked flesh of a
brother Mason in order to save his life
John Oscar Dickers IN is the person whose
life is to be saved by the partial self-im-
notation of so many of his friends and
comrades. A surgical operation required
that good portion Of the skin and flesh
should be cut away to remove a cancer, SO
much, in fact as to render it impossible for
the exposed edges of the skin to unite and
form q complete surface covering by
natural growth. The piece Of skin
to be taken from each person will
probably be cut from the arm and
will be about an inch square. AS soon as re-
moved by the razor in the hands of the sur
geon it will be placed on the exposed flesh
of the patient, and the wound of the orig
ina1 owner of the skin will be quickly
dressed which will require little else than
piece of plaster over the spot from where
the cuticle was removed.

The proprietors of the iron mines of Mar

q 10 per cent. reduction right through. Few

weeks ago, over to the Criminal Court in
the sum of $4,000. Bail was furnished by

evidence. The only witness examined was
w. w. Roger, the complaining witness, who
the day of the failure put in 5000, taking

RAILROADS GET WHAT THEY WANT.
They Are to Be Given the Privilege of
Pooling.

The action of Senator CullOms interstate
committee IN deciding to amend the inter
state act shows unusual hardwood. The
committee was reasonably unanimous in
agreeing on the amendment Of the fifth
section so as to permit the pooling of the
traffic, and the opinion was heard that it
could be got through without much OPPOSE
ton This will hardly turn out TO be the
case, for if the bars are let down and the
work of amendment to the law to meet the
wishes of the railroads is Eegun there is no
telling where it will end. Following the
New York agreement the impression created
is apt to be that if the roads only stand to-
gether they can get whatever legislation
they want from Congress.
