The house has again deferred the test

last Friday night motion was passed
directing that bill be drawn up for
presentation to the house, leaving the
districts as at present. but giving TO the

Polk county another representative.
This would make senate of 90 and a

Chairman Dunn intimated a miperity
report would be presented, but as it

IZe what an extremely difficult task con-
fronts any committee undertaking to
reappOrtiOn state. The claim is made,
evidently not without some justifica-
ton, that political considerations have
been sunk in the get-up of the proposed
bill, and that fair play to all concerned
has been the inspiration of its authors.
Several counties will lose their position
as separate senatorial districts if the
bill is passed as it stands, while Ram
sey will gain two senators and two rep
reSentativeS, Hennepin two senators
and one representative, st. Louis, Lake
and Cook one senator and one repre-
sentative: Sherburne county will be de-
tached from Wright and made repre-
sentative district; Scott and Carver lose
a senator. but gain q representative;
the same is true of Meeker and Kandi-
yohi; Polk is detached from Beltrami
and Norman, with the representation
unchanged, the two latter counties
being hitched on elsewhere; Rice, Now
er, Washington, Freedom and WabaSha
each lose a representative while Winona
gains one; Stearns loses Benton aud
representative, Morrison and Benton
being made a senatorial district with
two mouse members; Crow Wing and
Mile Laos are put in with CasS, one
senator, one representative; Morrison
and Benton go together for one and
two; Todd. of the present FOrty-slXth,
and Hubbard and Wadena, of the pres
ent FiftY-third, are made the Forty
eighth, with one senator and three
representatives.
The southern part of the state has
been cut down somewhat, it will be
seen, while the gains go to the fast
growing north and the cities. In this
connection the following table will not
be embarrassing. 1t shows the senators

Brain Work and Overwork.

Brain work and overwork.
When the Washington express, con-
tanning distinguished officials, recently
crashed into freight train, the engineer
read the signals wrongly.
Luckily, most serious bodily ills are
preceded by warnings. The difficulty
lies in failing to read correctly the sig =
mails of distress that nature hangs out.
The head is often the seat of unpleaS
ant sensations. which are not eadache,
but which, as the signs of mental over
driving, are of even more serious mean
ing. A sense of weight on top of the
head, feeling of construction of the
forehead are very significant and should
be needed.
In the lives of most busy men and
women there come periods when it is
necessary to perform a good deal of
labor in a short time.
Acute brain exhaustion following
spell of sharp work of this sort is an en-
tirely different condition from the
breakdown which results from long
continued strain.
Years have proved that there is moth
ing equal to Paine's celery compound
for meeting an unexpected strain upon
the system, or for restoring the proper
tone to the fagged-out and tired bodies.

After the bill was read Mr.. Dunn and
Mr.. Greer both renewed the motions
mentioned before.
MIR. Hopkins objected to the time as
being too limited for proper consldera-
ton of the bill. He did not think mem
bers were willing to take anybody's
word for the. bills, even ii the sponsor
came from ''that part of the state where
they raise white beans aud other
things"
Mr.. Dunn retorted that they also
raised big turnips, 200 pounds or more,
and the finest pOtatoesin the world.
Mr.. Markham backed up the rttort
with the remark that "They also raise
white men," 49,
Mr.. MeDonough moved an amend
ment that the bills be made special
order for Friday This was favored in
speeches by several members, MIR. Greer
making spirited talk for it, during
which he cited the periods that had
elapsed between other redlstrictlng
bills, showing that reapportlOnments
had been made in 1857, 1860, 1866. 1871,
ISL, 1889. Analysing these periods In
the growth of the state, he ridiculed the
mOraliZing about 1.-THE constitutional
duty" devOlving on the legislature to
reapportion so soon after the last estab-
lishlnent of districts. He hoped Mr..
McDonough's motion would prevail.
Mr.. Ives protested that 30 long delay
was entirely unnecessary. AS Su0stl-
tute, he moved that the bills be conSld-
cred as a special order Thursday at
p. III.
This met the approval of the house
and was adopted. The committee then
rose. its report was adopted and the
