HOUSE.
There were several important bills
passed IN the house, one the bill for a
geological survey and another the Valen-
tine druRgist's permit bill. An effort
was made by Lindstrom to get the rail-
road bill up for consideration before the
committee on rates had returned from
st. Psul, but the same failed. They will
return Friday with come information on
the subject, that may have a decisive
effect on the fate of the bill.
The house having ordered the appoint

Mr.. Richards moved q committee to in

sion. MI. Lindstrom characterized the
discussion as horse play. Svensrud re-
garded it an insult to the house. Mr..
Tyler defended the house and the
speaker, but insisted that it owed it to
itself and to the state to prevent impo-
sitlon by clerks presenting false vouchers.
Mr.. Hanna favored the resolution and
said he was informed that there were
clerks on the rolls who had done no SER
vice.
Mr.. Gill explained that he had en-
deavored to carry out the orders of the
house. No one, to his knowledge, had
been given voucher which covered
more time than they had served. Mr..
Devine said he had signed none Of that

LEGISLATIVE LINKS.
Manager Pritchard of the Keeley cure,
Is confident that the bill which passed
the senate vii, 60 through the house, as
the mem mbers,' while believing that no
special "cure' should receive the benefit
if all were OF equal value. are also mostly
of the opinion that the Kee ley cure is a
secret, and the only good. available, sat-
isfactory remedy on the market. The
Kelley people intend If the bill passes to
locate two more institutes in the state,
one in the western part and one near the
Manitoba line, to get the business from
that province. There ls no cure nearer
Winnipeg than Montreal. The Canadian
rights for administering the treatment
belong to others than the gentlemen
owning the same for this state.
Senator Haggart of Cass, introduced a
bill for the survey of the south boundary
of the state.
