Reuted some exceedingly interesting facts
and figures before the members of the
Legislative RAILROAD committee at Pierre

the Iowa tariff for the same distance is
ID BIO cents; to Parker, 30 miles, l6
cents, Iowa rate 10 cents; TO Salem. 70

This is the second time Alexandra
Felix Ribot has been prime minister of
France. He first took the Office In De-
cember, 1892, but remained in power
only a few months. Prior to that he had
been minister of foreign affairs in two
cabinets, and it was while holding that
portfolio that he requested President
Harrison to recall a military attache of
the United States legation in Paris
whose conduct had been offensive to the
French government. In 1887 M. Ribot
visited the United States.
M. Ribot was born at st. Omar, Feb
., 1912. He was educated to the law
and gained some distinction at the bar
and was for several years d prosecutor
in the department of Justice. In 1878
he made his first appearance i'm parlia-
ment as q Republican and has been &c
tive In politics ever since. He twice re-
fused cabinet portfolios before entering
the ministry Of M do Freycinet in 1890.

The passage by the house OF the bill
establishing an asyi:a Tor the blind at
Gary, and the bill authorizing townships
by a two-thirds vote to build barb wire
fences along highways to check the
spread OF Russian thistles, is causing q
good deal of "cussing" in the Hobbies and
halls. Both passed by two thirds ma
~iorities, however, and appear strongly
~entrenched in the hearts of the legisla-

of the Russian thistle in politics, but it
Is nevertheless as pertinent an evil in the
community a the liquor question. This
vile weed which now covers six OF the
leading northwestern states, first started
in Yankton county. In 1873 a Russian
seed from Russia and sowed them IN his
garden for the purpose OF getting feed
for his sheep. In Russia the plant is
cultivated for that purpose, but is less
thorny and pithy than its American
descendant. After one or two seasons
the seed got away from Ortiz who now
bears the not very honorable distinction
OF being the author OF the most wide
spread pest which is so much detested
by the northwestern farmer.
