Prison Commissioners.

The governor has appointed the COM
missioners provided for by, the Schur-
meier prison labor law. This measure
provides for commission of three, one
the labor commissioner of the state,
one to be a member of the board of
managers of the prison. The two APP
pointed are F. w. Temple, of Blue
Earth City, and 7. L. Schurmeier, of
ST. Paul. The business of this commits
sion will be to determine how many
prisoners may be employed at any one
occupation. The law provides that not
more than Is per cent of the number OF
citizens employed in any occupation in
this state shall be set to work in the
prison. That is to say, if there are 81
900 shoemakers in the state, not more
than $50 convicts shall be employed at
the same work. 1t is claimed that
under the provisions of the law all shoe
dealers and their employees can be
counted in this matter, and that the
commission can, if it chooses, put every
convict in the prison at work at that
industry. 1t is not likely, however,
that this will be done. as Mr.. Schur-
meier, the author OF the bill, is one of
three commissioners, and would oppose
it, as would Labor Commissioner Pow

The Income Tax Gone.

| WASHINGTON, May 0.-Immediately
on the converting of the supreme court,
Chief Justice Fuller today read the in
come tax opinion. The law has de-
clared unconstitutional. The vote Of
the court resulted, five against the con-
stitutionality of the law and four for
the law. Those against the law were
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Field,
Gray, Brewer and Sh1ras; for the law.
Justices Hallan, White, Brown and
There was the usual throng of people
about the courtroom in anticipation of
a final decision. Those present includ-
ed many attorneys and a full represe n
tation of the press as well as fair
sprinkling of members of congress.
The justices were at the capitol early
and the consultation began promptly
at 10 o'clock, continuing until a few
minutes before IL.
The conclusions of the, court were as
follows:
First We adhere to the opinion al
ready announced that taxes on real es
tate being indisputably direct taxes,
taxes on the rents on income of real es-
tate are equally direct taxes.
Second-We are of opinion that taxes
on personal property or on the income
of personal property are likewise direct
taxes.
Third 1.-The tax imposed by sections
81 to 81 inclusive, of the act of 1894, SO
far as it falls on the income of real es-
tate and on personal property, being a
direct tax within the meaning of the
constitution and therefore unconstitu-
,tional and void, because not apportioned
according to representation, all those
sections constituting the entire scheme
of taxation are necessarily invalid.

To Push Things.

Ed. A. Paradis, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Minnesota Ed
itorial association, has been in confer
ence with the Commercial club and the
manufacturers of ST. Paul and Mime
apolis and of the northwest, with the
object of bringing together the manu-
facturers and newspaper publishers to
discuss plans and measures for pushing
northwestern manufacturing interests.
The plan has met with cordial re-
Spouse from large number of manu-
facturers, who have been consulted in
the matter, and it finds equal favor
with the newspapers of the state.
1t is expected that there will be over
100 country newspaper men at the con-
ference, which will be held at the Com
mercial club, St. Paul, on the evening
of Friday, June z.
Invitations are now being prepared
to the meeting, which will be sent to

DAMAGED.
The Wheat Crop of South Dakota Hit by
m the Frost.

The Wheat Crop of South Dakota Hit by
4 the Frost.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 2O.-The wheat
crop of the Dakotas has been damaged
by frost.
Reports from widely scattered sec
tions are to the effect that Sunday
nights freeze was a most severe one.
Tender vegetation was cut down and
oats were severely injured. Ice an
inch in thickness formed at some places
and it is reported that wheat, which
had been practically uniniured by the
cold snap of week ago, is badly dam
aged
One report places the damage as high
as 70 per cent. This, however, is be-
lieved to be an error, as wheat frozen
down so early in the season generally
grows up again from the roots. Corn
is believed to be ruined. There was
heavy frost in Minnesota last night,
which was severe in the northwestern
counties. 1t cannot be known until to-
day how serious the injury is. The
frost of last week is known to have
done but slight damage.

Terrible Fate of John Barrison of South
st. Paul Park.

Terrible Fate of John harrison OF South
st. Paul Park.
ST. PAUL, May 19.-John Barrison,
26 years of age and single, lies dying OF
hvdropbobia at the Grand Hotel in
South Park. He has reached the par
alytic stage, and is in comatose con-
dition. His death is matter Of a few
hours only. avg 6sFaa
On the same day that Barriaon was
bitten Gustave Stapf, ex-city treasurer
of South st. Paul, and candidate for re-
election, was also bitten and by the
same dog. He went at once to DR.. d.
P. johnson and had the wound cauter-
led, Barrison neglected to do this.
Stapf has developed none of the symp-
toms of hydrophobia, but will leave
Monday night to be treated in the
Pasteur Institute of Chicago.
AS nearly as the two men can remem-
Der they were bitten the latter part OF
February. This is doubtless corree t
estimate of the time. as the average
period of incubation is 81 days. Stap1
was bitten first. He noticed first that
his children were playing with black
and tan mongrel in the back yarc.
The cur had the appearance of being
well cared for. 1t had string OF small
bells about its neck. Stapf took the
dog up in his arms to petit. With
snarl the cur fixed his teeth in the man S
chin. To release himself from the
animals fangs Mr.. Stapf was forced to
pry the jaws apart with his hands.
The dog seemed affected with spasms
at the time. Stapf was frightened, and
set out at once for the city, going to
DR.. Johnson's home. Nothing more
was thought of the case until harrison
was taken ill.
harrison was bitten on the hand.
He was passing along one of the streets
of South Park when he saw the black
and tan cur with the string Of bells.
He stopped down to pet him, when he
was caught by the hand. The incision,
was neither deep nor painful, and the.
man felt no anxiety about,4it. He was
with a man named Kelly, who promptly
killed the dog and skinned him.
