Measure - Important
New Bills.

! of the whole yesterday before the
slightest break occurred in the sWlIt-
est working gait yet struck by the
| house.
The debate of the afternoon was
! precipitated by H. F. 100, Mr.. Mel
sons bill to amend the constltu-
| ton so as to allow Of the building
of a state elevator at Duluth. MIR.
Robbins opened the fight against the
bill and Messrs. Juliar, Burke
Woodbridge, Gutterson and Speaker
Van SAINT also gave it few hard
knocks. Henry Feig made the prln-
cipal speech for the bill, and its au-
thor spoke earnestly in it's favor.
Both gentlemen instanced the state
| prison Irvine plant as case where
the people of the state had profted
| largely by so-called paternalism.
Mr.. Nelson further stated that the
farmers propose to pay for the ele-
| vator themselves, and then present
| it to the state.
On the motion to indefinitely post
| pone, made by Mr.. Robbins, the SEN
| timent of the house was too plainly
shown to be mistaken. It was car
ried with a WhOOp, and unless a
miracle intervenes to recall it to life,
the state elevator bill is dead beyond
redemption. In the meantime the
state has bought and paid for a
tract of ground on which to build tho
structure, and is in about the posi-
ton of the man with the elephant
on his hands.
The bill to appropriate 100000 for
Red river drainage canals was rec
commended to pass without a word
of protest. Even Messrs. Jacobson
and Staples refrained from the
slightest criticism.
PARLIAMENTARY POWDER. .
During the morning hour the feat
ure was the taking up and wounding
of Mr.. Littletons bill to regulate
the manufacture of baking powder.

Mr.. Dingman, who then moved that

At that time, Mr.. Littleton hopes.
the measure will receive different
treatment and be passed.
ADJOURNMENT CHESTNUT.
Immediately on assembling after
! the noon recess rather amusing
/ spectacle was presented. a notian
was made that when the house ad-
journ it be to Monday morning at
! 10 o'clock. Amendment was offered
to make the hour o'clock i'll the
evening. A brief debate secured tie
withdrawal Of this amendment, and
then Mr.. Jacobson called Cor the
| yeas and nays on the original motion.
Before the vote was taken Mr.. Rob
bins warned the house that altogeth-
| er too much time is being wasted,
and that later on the members will
find themselves too far behind 10
catch up.
Mr.. Staples followed in the same
strain, and gave notice that the
members who are willing to stay
and work will be given preference
in the passing of bills later on, while
those who force adjournments now
will be made to suffer for their pro-
crastination later on.
In spite of the warnings and
threats, those favoring adjournment
over to Monday went on voting fol
it. During the roll call Mr.. Warner
said that as majority of the coun-
try members were voting for it, he
would vote aye.
This brought Jacobson to his fee
with the statement that the city
members need not trouble them.

bers. They could speak for them
selves, he said.
Mr.. Dingman came back at the
Lac qui Parle man with the asser
ton that the country members coulC
not assume the duty of speaking fol
the city brethren. Jacobson ad
mitted the force of Dingman's re
mark, and the vote resulted abou
three to one for the two-day recess
During the sitting of the commit
tee of the whole Mr.. SIMPSONS loca

mended for indefinite postponemen
by decisive vote. Two bills were
recommended to the judiciary com

H. F. 1913, to require publication OF
annual statements Of villages, towns

after it had been amended to limit

ONE MORE TI-SECTARIAN.
A decidedly important and radica
bill is H. F. 433, presented by Mr.. San

mo person arrested and charged witt

committed or sentenced to confinement

place of detention governed, controlled

association, denomination, society
