FOR LONGER SESSIONS.
The House Will Meet Hereafter at 9:3,
q.

The House Will Meet Hereafter at $3.50
The house has adopted a resolution
frightening the hours holding sessions
by making them from 9:3O a. m. until
1890 noon, and then from 2 o'clock in
the afternoon until such time as an adj
journment might be taken. There was
no objection to the change of hours,
and not single emphatic protest was
heard. By frightening the sessions the
house hopes to escape night work and
to clear up at least part of the work
now awaiting it's attention.
Relating to Fishing.
The greater part of the day was de-
voted to discussion Of bills on general
orders.
Fl. E. 5, Mr.. Ferris bill regulating
the use of pound nets in international
waters, was advanced to the calendar
with enough amendments attached to
make two or three good sized bills. Al
most the entire forenoon session was
devoted to it's discussion.
The consideration of general orders
was continued in the afternoon session,
and number of bills were disposed OF

IT is not creditable to the great Re-
publican majority in the Minnesota
state legislature that so much valu-
able time is wasted over the capitol
bill. Stripping the Minneapolis pro-
position of all sentiment and bun
combe, there is nothing to it. The
people of Minnesota have great ad
miration for the flour city, and equal
ly as much for ST. Paul. They are
pleased that the state university is
located in the former city and are
wholly content that the seat of gov
eminent should remain where it is.
The legislature has already wasted
five or eight thousand dollars in time
discussing capital matters out of
which nothing good can come, while
much that is unpleasant is sure to re-
suit. A bitter feeling between the
two great cities is being worked up,
and instead of that friendly inter-
change which should exist, strife and
dissension may be expected for years
to come. The legislature was elected
for wholly different purpose than to
egg on fight between St. Paul and
Minneapolis, and it should rise to the
dignity of representative body and
set down on any further wrangling of
this sort. Let the business for which
the body was called together be tran
sacted and then let the members ad-
journ. There is ample business of
important public interest to transact
between this and the 23d of April
without wasting time in monkey
and parrot fight over what Minneapo-
lis wants and against what ST. Paul
has and will retain.

T. N. BOYNTON.DEAD.
Death Takes Off a Well Known
Madelia Citizen.

1t is our sad duty to'chronicle to-
day the death of T. n. Boy1ton,
which occurred at his home at
Madelia Saturday evening. Death
was due to old age and complication
of diseases.
Mr.. Boynton was born at Derby,
Orleans, county, Vermont, and was 70
years old last June 2Sth. He was
married to Miss Lucy Marston fifty
two years ago, and she. as well as
two sons and three daughters, survive
him, The sons are Carlos Boynton, of
this city, and G. J. Boynton, of Gar
den City, and the daughters are Mrs.
VIM. Robinson, of Lake Crystal,
Mrs. Frank Howard, of Madelia, and
Miss Clara Boynton, also of Madelia,
Geo. f. Boynton is brother of the
deceased. Mrs. Boynton is sister of
Chas. r. Marston, of Lake Crystal.
The deceased came to Minnesota in
May, 1850, and has resided at Madelia
ever since. He accumulated much
property, and held the respect and
friendship of large number of peo-
pie all over Southern Minnesota. In
this city he was known to many, as he
was frequent visitor here. His
death will cause general sadness
wherever he was known.

MATTHEWS HILL.
The County Board Looks Over the
Ground.

The board of county commissioners
met on the Matthews hill road at 200
o'clock this afternoon to look over the
ground and consider the proposed i'm
provement. All were present except
Com. Hughes. A large number of
prominent business men and farmers
were present and talked the matter
over with the board. Three ways of
making the Improvements were dis
cussed. One was to grade the present
hill, another to run road up the
hill beside the present road but hay
ing a much less grade, and the third
to avoid the hill and the sandy road
beyond by skirting the river bank and
joining the Jones' ford road three
miles from the start. All had their
advocates, but many of the farmers
favored the last named, as they de-
clared that the sand is worse than the
hill for hauling loads.
The members of the board gave no
Indication of what they would do, but
the matter will come up at the next
meeting in May.

man made most able arguments against
tho passage of the bill at all, but the
arguments of Senators Sheehan and
Stevens for the bill were backed up by
a number of
Representatives of Smaller Cities,
who have some difficulty in reconclllng
the Howard bill to their cities. The
Howard bill will go over to the house
and the Sheehan bill will be placed
upon it's passage in the senate.
The forenoon in the senate was taken
up with general business and there was
opposition to the Howard bill being
taken up at the afternoon session. Sen
ator Young moved that general busl
ness be proceeded with and that the
charter bill be taken up at an evening
session, but the senate decided other
wise, in view of the opinion expressed
by President Day that special order
once broken into would lose its right OF
way. There was only one negative vote
against the bill.
Other Senate Business.
There was an interesting debate in
the senate during the morning over FL.
F. 279, the bill relating to the fremen' Is
relief fund. Senator Green offered an
amendment providing for some check
to be kept on the relief associations by
making the associations subject to city
ordinances AS amended the bill
passed.
Among the new bills was one from
Senator French providing for municipal
courts for cities of less than 5000 in.
habitants. He consented to an amend.
ment making it 5000 inhabitants, but
wanted the bill passed under suspen
sion of rules. This was objected to and
the bill went over.

Evan Hughes, who has charge of the

that the party who purchased the

cided to start up as soon as arrange

plant, when started, will be increased
in capacity, and in every way modern

THE LEGISLATURE
Entire Day in the Senate De-
voted to Debating the
Charter Bill.
BUT LITTLE PROGRESS MADE.
Cronkhite'S Recent Absence
Set Right by Correcting
the Journal.

ST. PAUL, March 19.-The senate put
in nearly the entire day Monday con-
sidering the municipal charter bill as
reported from the committee, and
would have held an evening session
were it not pleaded by some that long
day had been put in at work. Twenty
two of the SO pages of the bill were
gone over and a number of minor
amendments were made, but not all OF
the sections comprised in that portion
were adopted. Several of them were
Objectionable to representatives OF
smaller cities and were passed over, not
ably the provisions for making the bill
applicable to cities as small as 1000 in
habitants. Long debates were had
over many of the provisions. One of
the points over which the delegations of
the Twin Cities disagreed relates to fix
ing maximum salaries for the more i'm
portant officers, and resulted in a defeat
for the St. Paul contingent, or at least
part of it.
The bill was taken up as special Or
der Senator Knatvold occupied the
chair with the senate in committee OF
the whole.
Justice to Cronkhite.
Senator Cronkhite had the call in the
senate during the morning session and
he secured every point he sought for.
Not only did he have the journal of last
Wednesday corrected so as to show that
he was excused, but President Day adj
mitted that Senator Cronkhite had been
excused. The Marshall county senator
rose on question of privilege and
asked that the journal be corrected SO
as to read
Excused by authority of the presi-
dent
Senator Ozmun seconded the motion
and President Day said it would be
done.
Senator Cronkhite had been excused
and it was the custom to have the ex-
cuses hold good until the return Of the
senator excused.
Just before the noon recess Senator
Yale offered a resolution justifying the
absence of Senator Cronkhite during
the discussion over the Anderson bill.
1t went over under notice of debate
from Senator Reishus.

ST. PAUL, March 21.-The Howard
charter bill has passed the senate. Many
of the amendments have been in the
nature of improvements, but some OF
them are riders that are not satisfac-
tory to either Minneapolis or st. Paul,
and, for that matter, are only desirable
by individual cities of the smaller class.

EXTENDED THE LIMIT.

Bills Asking Appropriations for Roads
and Bridges Go Until Thursday.
Little was accomplished at the morn
ing session of the house aside from the
introduction of bills and the report of
committees. A resolution was passed
extending the limit set for introducing
bills asking appropriations for roads
and bridges until next Thursday. Tw,
weeks ago the final day was made
March 15 but this came while the
solons were off for their mining junket,
and so several members found them
selves denied the chance of getting in
bills. Therefore, to crafty them, the
original motion fixing the final day was
amended to allow an extension.
The house concurred in senate amend
ments to house bills relating to the 81 e
OF unclaimed baggage; establishing a
medical corps for the national guard,
and relating to territorial roads.
The Fish and Game Law.
The house went into committee Of the
whole in the afternoon and took up the
fish and game bill section by section.
Mr. Ferris, in reply to Mr.. Jacobson,
who wanted to know if the 5000 add.
tional appropriation was necessary,
said that the commission had been COM
PEELED to discharge their wardens for
lack of funds, and could not enforce the
law. A motion to strike out the appro-
priatiOn entirely was voted down and
an amendment to extend the open sea-
son for ducks and geese to April 10 was
adopted. Mr.. Leach proposed all
amendment prohibiting hunters from
entering upon any enclosed ground for
the purpose of hunting, and the amend
ment was adopted, many members vot-
ing under misrepresentation.
Hot Fight Over Funds.
When it came to the question of the
appropriation for carrying out the pro-
visions of the law there was another hot
fight with Representative Underwood in
the lead and Representative Jacobson
making warm second. Mr.. jacobson
offered an amendment to reduce the ap-
preparation to $4,000, the amount al
lowed under the old law, and So, 900 less
than is proposed in the bill. Mr.. I'm.
derwood's motion to strike out the ap-
preparation clause was promptly voted
down. A vote was taen taken on Mr..
Jacobson's amendment to cut the appro-
priation down and this was carried.
The committee then recommended the
bill for passage.

witha military history probably unique
was brought to notice at late session
Of the House of Representatives. Mr..
Weadock, of Michigan, called up a bill
to increase the pension Of Capt. Isaac

committee reported in favor Of increas-
ing the pension to So n month. In an
effort to induce the. House to override
the Pension Committee Mr.. WeadOck
said: ''The beneficiary Of this bill is Is
years old. His great-grandfather was
killed in the Indian wars fighting for
