THE LEGISLATURE
Sheehan'S Home Rule Char
ter Bill Adopted in
the Senate.
ONLY ONE VOTE AGAINST 1T.
Cant'S Bill to Help Out Tax
DelinQuentS Favorably
Acted On.

ST. PAUL, March Ex-senator Shee-
hans home rule bill for municipal gov
eminent was taken up at the morning
session of the senate Thursday and
passed under suspension of the rules,
only one senator (Howard) voting
against it, In the house the chances
are that the bill will receive favorable
consideration in advance of the Howard
charter bill, for the reason that it is
short and easily understood and will
not require much time. The Howard
bill is handicapped because the session
is drawing toward close, and the
several days to the consideration of it,
the members having bills OF their own
which need looking after.
The senate broke the record in the
matter of petitions during the morning.
Nearly every senator present offered
petition or remonstrance and they COW
cred all manner of subjects, including
the Zier compulsory education bill, the
Dale BILL age of consent, game and
fish, Dalles of the ST. Croix, soldiers
relief fund, etc. Most of the communi-
cations were remonstrances.
For Longer Hours.
Senator Stebbins introduced resolu-
ton providing that the senate sessions
commence at $50 hereafter Notice of
debate was given and the resolution
went over.
Senator French called up S. F. 1893,
his Redwood municipal court bill, and
secured it's passage.
The senate went half through the
calendar during the morning. Two
bills caused some debate. No. was S.
f. 267, Senator Roverud's bill defining
vagrance and providing punishment
therefor, and to authorize cities and
incorporated villages to provide for the
punishment of Migrants. The bill first
passed and was afterwards reconsidered
and defeated.
H. f. 372, Feigs bill, establishing the
Office of state entomologist at the ex-
detrimental station for the destruction
of chinch bugs, passed unanimously,
but it was not until some Of the senators
from the country made a stand and told
of what benefit it would be to the
farming community.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION
Too High Pressure.

In these days of keen competition in every
line, when the business man is compelled to
bend his intellect and every energy to the
success of his business the clerk, book
keeper, professional man and laborer, to
drive themselves at terrific rate, there can
be but one result-an explosion, which, if
not resulting in immediate death, leaves
them with shattered brains and bodies.
They are running at too high pressure.
The strain is too great. Something must
and does give way. This is equally true of
women. Though their sphere is more
limited they have their daily burdens, frets,
and Worries and the results are the same as
with their stronger companions.
This condition is growing worse every
day. The rapidity of its increase is awful
to contemplate. Our homes, hospitals, and
insane asylums are full Of these unfortunates,
and are being crowded still further. There
is but one solution of the matter. Recog-
pize the Importance of the situation at once,
and take the necessary measures to over
come it. If you have failing memory, hot
flashes, dizziness, nervous or sick headache,
biliousness, irritability, melancholy, sleep
lessness, fainting, nervous dyspepsia, epi-
lepsy, ETC., know that any one of them is but
a symptom,of the calamity that may befall
YOU, and even though you have used So
called remedies and treated with reputable
physicians with little or no benefit, give DR..
Miles Restorative Nervine trial. 1t is
the only remedy that may be depended
upon for nervous disorders.
-"Two years ago used DR., Miles Restorative
Nervine with marked benefit, and later induced
my son, who had been sick with catarrh Of the
bladder 1--WE years in the hands Of our best ply,
sGians, to try It together with pr. Miles Nerve
and Liver Pills. He was so wonderfully benefited
that he is attending to business again. My wife
also used Nervine with most excellent results.
All Of us together have not used more than six
bottles Of Nervine. Several Of our friends have
also used it, and are greatly improved, Louis

and who have lost confidence in Kan
sas Investments; while nearly all the
large insurance companies and
savings banks which have been accus-
toned to make loans here, positively
refused to take any new mortgages
until the laws are changed"
The governor tells us in his mes
sage, as quoted above, the true reas-
ons for the withdral OF capital from
our state, 1. G., the men Of the east
who have money to loan will not send
il into this state unless the laws in
regard to loans are such as suit them.
A few months ago he and his friends
told us that it was on account OF pop
ulistic control. The law he refers to
was the joint production of popu-
list senate and q republican house, 30
that il the state has suffered, both
parties are responsible. We can pass
laws regarding the loaning Of money,
but we cannot borrow the money I'M
less they suit the fellows who have
the cash.

The Mortgage Laws.

1.-THE legislature of 1893 enacted q
law to regulate the sale and redemp-
ton of real estate under execution,
etc. It was doubtless the purpose
aud desire of the trainers of this act,
to furnish relief to those who had
mortgsged their homes and were I'm
fortunately unable to meet their OBJ
legations; but the law seems to have
had directly the opposite effect from
what was intended. Believing that
the theory upon which the law is
based is pernicious one, l desire to
call your attention to its practical
workings.
Capital is proverbially tlmid; it
goes only where it is protected; il
scents danger as quickly and as keen
ly as wild animal, and as promptly
seeks safety. Capital cannot be
driven by legislative ensctments tc
make investments where it is no
"a "a. and any attempt of that kline
drives it q"ickly from the state, Thu
result is as sure =. - follow as water is
to run down hill.
"The past two years have witnessH'
a rapid withdrawal Of capital from
the state, and the account would have
been much larger it it could have
been collected. 1t is estimated tha
$15,0Oe,OO0 have been Withdrawn tn,
past two years by parties IN the east
who had loans secured by real estate

GOVERNOR MoRRILL's message to the
legislature treats of many things and
makes many suggestions, some good
and some not SO good. He calls for
economy, a reform Of the supreme
conrt so that cases might be settled
sooner; wants the number of district
judges reduced. prohibition enforced,
property assessed at full value, the
mortgage laws changed; recommends
experimental irrigation stations;
wants the appropriation for public
printing keL.t as low Us possible;
wants a constitu, ''onal convention
called, and gives the WEI 'arn counties
u large dose of taffy. In leading
over the message one is surprised 70
lind the vast number of poor laws
that are upon the statute books, for
during the past few years we have
been told by our republican friends
that the legislation of the past was
all right. The only question that
arises is, can the party that has
passed the bad laws the governor re-
fers to, give us the proper remedy?

Ar Emporia, Kansas, December 70,
in the District Court a decision was
given on an injunction against permit
ting the Board Of Education paying
salaries to teachers for Thanksgiving
and the day following, a vacation or
dered by the Board. The decision
makes the injunction perpetual, Judge
Randolph deciding that the teachers
we're not entitled to pay for such
days.
He says the law Of the State ap-
plying to common schools, which de-
fines a school month las four weeks
or five days each," was binding on
school boards in cities Of the second
GLASS, and that the board had no au-
thority to pay teachers for tilAe when
not actually at work.
The decision is of considerable i'm
portance, as it will affect nearly every
city in Kansas, all but one following
the rule of paying teachers for
Thanksgiving, memorial days and
other holidays ordered by boards.
Several other cities have similar cases
and are awaiting to hear from this
decision.
The above decision may be of in
terest to many teachers and school
boards IN this county as the rule
seems to be no work, no pay. Many
people want their children at home
on holidays, so that school boards
should allow lost time to be made up
at the end of the year, and in this
way teachers would put in full time,
and draw full pay,

The Naw Officials.

The new officials took their offices
last Monday, and are now engaged
in working for the public. These
gentlemen, a majority Of whom are
republicans, are now no longer prl'
vate citizens, but servants OF the peo-
pie, and their official acts are either
subjects for praise or censure. Ii
they faithfully perform their duties
the general public is benefited by
their administrative acts. Ii on the
other hand they are lax in their work
the county sustains irreparable losses
and public burdens are increased.
Let us all, then, assist them in the
performance OF their duties, so far as
the public is concerned. The HERALD
for the ensuing year, gentlemen, will
will award you just praise or give
YOU merited censure. In the inter-
est Of all may you each and every
one do your full duty.

That all classes are effected by
the prevailing hard times, is shown
by conversation the HERALD mar
had with the agent of q railroad com

He said: In ordinary good times
the receipts of my station are from
$4,000 to $4,000 per month. Las
month the business amounted to
about $4,000, and was just enough tc
pay the local employees Of the COM
pany." Possibly. the government
had better wait till business picks up

William Miehrr, a German, who
stopping with his niece, Mrs
Hemukill, of Stuttgart and :, who
came from Hamilton, Ohio, tells a
peculiar story of the doings OF some
officials in an institution with when
he was connected in that state The
story that he tells is, that two officials
of the Butler county (O) lntirmary
po,soned an inmate of that institu-
ton named Fiudley for the purpose
of securing a sum of money and
a watch belonging to him. Miehrr
was a witness of the act and told
what he knew. On the 9Th OF last
November he was seized and locked
no IN cold room, and was prevented
from communicating WITH any 9qe I'M
til December 10, last, when he was
loaded upon the cars and shipped
out to Stuttgart, where he has since
been sick. Miehrr has ma lie APP
plication to the commissioners for
assistance in returning to his home.
Mr.. Thornton has written to the
Hamilton county authorities regard
