was a clerk in the principal store of
the village where the Lincolns pur-
chased their family supplies, remembers
him as ''small boy who came some
times to the store with his mother. He

and would give him lump of sugar
He would sit there and eat it like any

ST. PAUL, April 6-The only sensa-
ton of the house Fir day, and it was not
much of sensation at that. was the
report of the Ives impeachment, mat
ter, which had been under considera-
ton by the house judiciary committee
for several weeks. The report was not
unanimous, nine members favoring i'm
parchment and eight opposing it.
Outside of the Judiciary committee
the opinion seems to prevail that the
house will support the minority report,
and that no impeachment court will be
held. There are various reasons for
this opinion, but the most popular one
is the ever-pressing argument OF
economy.
Almost the entire day was devoted to
the final passage of bills, and the cal
endar was completely cleared, only two
bills being left on it, and they by the
request of the authors.
The following are among the bills
passed.
Relating to mineral lands and reserving
to the state all timber growing on such
lands.
10 provide elementary normal instruc-
ton in state high schools.
To provide bounty for the arrest and
conviction of chicken and poultry thieves.
To appropriate money for higher educa-
ton and providing regulations for the dis
bursement of the same.
To encourage smelling iron ore and to
conduct experiments with that end in
view.
Relating to elections and providing reg
ulations and restrictions looking to the
prevention of fraud.
Committees Must Report.
Mr.. Underleak introduced and Sc
cured the passage of resolution to
blast the hopes of members of special
committees who have been tondly
counting on maintaining their official
existence for the next two years. The
resolution calls upon all special commit
tees appointed by the house to make
their final reports within 10 days, or
not later than April Is, and depriving
them of any authority to incur expense
or do business after that date. The
adoption of the resolution dashes to the
ground the expectations of the Feig
committee for the investigation of pub
lie repositories and the charge that
state and county treasurers have been
receiving fees for depositing funds in
certain banks. Also does it nip in the
bud certain expectations of the commit
tee on investigating railroad charges.
Mr.. Underleak, in speaking of tho
commlGGees, SAID: some or Jnese COM
mittees have unlimited authority and
could even investigate private business.
The legislature has no right to grant
that power and to leave them in exist
ence for the next two years would leave
the state in danger Of some big suits
for damages. I think, therefore, their
existence should come to an end with
the present session"

THE LEGISLATURE
Bill For Taxation of Iron Ore
Causes a Hot Fight in
the House.
THREE NEW NORMAL SCHOOLS,
The Bills Approved in Commit
tee of the Whole in the
Senate.

ST. PAUL, April S.-The house put in
nearly the entire day Saturday consid-
ering general orders in committee of
the whole, and 80 bills were recon-
mended to be placed on the calendar for
final passage.
During the morning session Mr..
Reeves moved that.H. +. ISL, his bill to
repeal the law providing for a tax of
cent ton on iron ore and leaving min
ing property to be assessed and taxed as
other property is taxed, be made spe-
cial order for 10 a. m. Tuesday There
was no objection and it was made spe-
cial order as requested,
Just before the noon recess Mr.. Cant
moved that the vote, whereby the bill
was made special order, be reconsid-
cred He explained that under the
present system the state receives one
half of the tax, which in 1894 amounted
to over $40, 900. Under the other sys-
tenn of taxation the state would only re-
ceive about one-fourteenth of the tax,
the remaining thirteen-fourteenths 60
ing to the county. The people of ST..
Louis county did not ask for this
change, for they are SAT- SIZED with the
present system and do not wish to in
terfere with the development of the
mines.
Mr.. Reeves objected to reconsidering
the vote and made quite an argument
against the present system of taxation,
and maintained that it was just to all
interests that the mining property be
taxed as other property.
The motion to reconsider was lost
and the special order for 10 a. IN. Tues
day stands.
During the morning session of the
committee Mr.. Guttersen was in the
chair. When Mr. Johns bill, III. F.
No. SOL, to provide for rebating the
royalty on iron ore which is smelted
within the state, was reached there was
trouble. After lively fight progress
was reported and the fight will be re-
newed when the bill is again reached
On general orders.
Afternoon Session.
In the afternoon the report of the
I joint committee on relief of fire suf
ferers was read and referred to the
committee on appropriations.
The house again went into committee
of the whole, with Mr.. Shell in the
chair. Considerable work was done,
and when the bill authorizing the
leasing of the state capitol lands in
Kandiyohi county was reached the
committee amused themselves at the
expense of Mr.. Fe g. The bill was
recommended to pass.
The following are among the bills
recommended to pass:
Amending Sec Z, chap. POS, general
laws 1887, raising the salary of the prin-
cipal keeper of the reformatory to 81 200.
Appropriating $4,000 for premiums to
be paid by county agricultural societies.
TO prohibit the fraudulent marking or
sale of silverware and jewelry.
Relating to university extension.
Relating to the drainage of lands.
TO provide for the organization and
government of societies organized to ad-
minister relief and charity for the worthy
Door.
