THE LEGISLATIVE MILL

There were seven bills introduced
into the state senate yesterday the
most important of which were those
providing for primary election law,
and to tax railroad lands which are
now exempt. The primary election
bill was introduced by Senator
Wyman, and its primary object is to
prevent voters from voting in dis
tricts in which they do not reside, and
in any party primary to which they do
not belong. The bill requires candi-
dates for office to file with their party
organization ten days before the date
OF the primary elections, nomination
| signed by ten competent voters The
tickets to be used at primaries are
furnished by the party organization,
and all the candidates names are upon
it. The voter casts his ballot direct
for the candidate for office, instead of
voting for delegates to a convention.
Primary elections are held from y
noon until $50 p. M, and the machin-
cry of judges and clerks is the same
as that of the regular elections, in
Guiding, also, the registration of vot-
ers in all cities and organized villages.
The bill for the taxation of the
unused railroad lands is said to be
practically the same as the old Mark
ham bill, and provides that lands
granted to railroad companies shall be
taxed the same as other lands, and
provides especially that the bill shall
not have the effect of repeating the
gross earnings provisions.

The municipal and justice court
cases show a gratifying result:
A RELIEF SOCIETY.
The Germans Organized one Tuesday
Evening.

A number of the members of the
German Lutheran church held a
meeting with F. Eichhorn Tuesday
evening and formed an organization
known as the German Relief society,
with twelve charter members.
The society is an open one, and has
for its object the relief of poverty
and sickness wherever found. The
funds are raised by voluntary monthly
dues from each member. AS soon as
case is brought before the society a
special meeting will be calledand the
payment of So per week promptly be-
gun. 1t is hoped to increase this
amount as the society grows older.
A copy of the bylaws and constitu-
tion has been received from similar
society in st. Paul which has been in
existence since '6S. A meeting has
been called for next Tuesday evening,
at which time the committee on rules
of government will be adopted, and it
is probable the ST. Paul constitution
will have much to do with the laws of
the local society.
One of the provisions of the new
society is that no habitual consumer
of Intoxicating liquors will be allowed
to become member.
The officers and committee are as
follows:
President--Joseph Kraeger.
Vice-President- Vogelpohl.
Secretary-Jacob Miller.
Treasurer-F. EichhOrn.
Bylaws and COnstitutiOn-Fred
Hammann, f. Eichhorn, III. Vogel-
pohl, Jacob Miller, Joseph Kraeger.

THE first committee appointed in
the house was that on mileage, with
Representative Zier, of Minneapolis, as
chairman. The longest distance
travelled by any one member is 800
miles, the next longest is $50, while
two representatives put in $50 each.
The Ramsey county delegation have
no mileage, while the Hennepin
delegation will have a uniform 20
miles credited to them regardless of
miles they travel. The total mile
age of the members of the house is
about q, 1000 miles which at ten cents
a mile will cost the state about So, 500.

HE HAD TWO WIVES.
K. Smith the School
Teacher at NJ APPLETON.
That's What Appearances Indicate,
at Least=-Was to Have Been at
nadison Lake During the Holidays
==But He Disappeared.

When Mrs. Carrie Smith, of Madi-
son Lake, came into municipal court
Saturday and filed a complaint against
one Marshall X. Smith on the charge
of larceny, it was not known at the
time that it appeared as though the
man wanted was suspected of another
crime. The particulars of the flight
last week of NJ. X. Smith, Mapleton
school teacher, with his wife's money
and diamonds, were printed in this
paper at the time, and it was not
known whether or not both the
Smiths were one and the same.
From additiooal information on the
case given by Fire Chief Phillips, who
is somewhat acquainted with the cir
cumstances, to FREE PRESS repor-
ter today, it appears that both the
Smiths were one and that the fellow
had two wives living and that he had
a divorce from neither.
'Smith last fall married sister of
Mrs. Sutherland, Of Madison Lake,
very estimable lady," said Mr.. Phil
lips. ''He was teaching school at
Lake Emily at the time, and the we'd
ding took place amid the congratula-
tions of many friends of the bride,
the groom being comparatively un-
known. He went to Mapleton's soon
afterward and began school work
there, but kept up a correspondence
with his wife all the time.
''She grew suspicious, however, at
his long-continued absence, and when
the holidays came and her husband
did not return home on his long
promised visit, she started upon an
investigation. What followed is not
known, but certain it is that one
Marshall X. Smith, of Mapleton, lit
out, taking with him the money,
watch and clothing belonging to his
bride of few days"
Now the question is, are both these
men, with the same name and mi
tials, one and the same?

THE reports from ST. Paul today in
dictate little change in the senatorial
situation, but the Washburn forces
are feeling better and are evidently
strengthening their lines while the
Nelson forces, If they are not losing
are not increasing. The bad humor
displayed by some of them would in
dictate that they are losing ground.
The senatorial caucus will probably
be held the fore part of next week.

THEY MOVED AWAY.
And a MankatO Family
Wants It's Laundry.
A Case, Perhaps, of Misplaced Char
ity-The immigrants Were Known
to Some as Lane and to Others
as Trimbly.

During the greater part of the win
ter family giving their name to the
Relief society as Lane, to Mrs.
George Schwartz as Trimbly, and bill
ing their goods to New Ulm as w. W.
Madison, removed to New Ulm yes
terday on tickets furnished them by
the charity association.
The family has been living at the
corner of Fifth and Main streets.
They were very poor, and Mrs. Craig
and Miss Peirson, of the Relief soci-
ETY., have been keeping close watch
of their needs, and it is not believed
that at any time were they actually
in want. The Lanes or Trimblys con-
sisted, as nearly as could be learned,
of husband, who, his children stated,
was at Sioux City under treatment
for consumption, Sickly-looking
young man, mother, two girls and
boy.
The family has been taking in wash
ing to increase the revenue of the
household, the girls, one Of whom is
about 16, calling for and delivering
the bundles to their customers. In
nearly every case the girl told of the
abject poverty her relations were in,
and deep sympathy was aroused
among the ladies where she called.
One of the customers of the Trim
bley's was Mrs. George Schwartz, wife
of the manager of the Cassidy Packing
House, who has more than once dem
onstrated that her sympathy meant
something. She first loaned the fami-
ly some washing utensils, and because
of the girls statements that her
younger sister was i'll and needed
medicine Mrs. Schwartz advanced her
money from week to week. She also
gave her clothing and edibles and did
all in her power to relieve case of
apparent distress.
The family left yesterday for New
Ulm and the Relief society paid the
freight on their household effects.
They evidently neglected, however,
to inform Mrs. Schwartz of the where
abouts of the articles she had loaned
them and Of large bundle of laundry
which the girl had called for on Mon
day, for none of them are at the house
and no trace of them can be found.
The bundle was valuable one, and
steps are being taken to recover it if
possible.

profess to believe that the bill will

An Effort to Have Some RecOmme nda-

The Dockery commission expired with the
close of Congress. Mr.. Dockery was asked
why he did not make an effort to have it
continued, and replied with a republican
House he could not hope to accomplish any
thing in the next Congress. Further, he was
satisfied with the record that had been
made and did not wish to prosecute what
would turn out failures in the next Con-
gress, by reason of not having the parlia-
mentary power to carry it through. Mr..
Dockery was asked what he proposed to do
with all the recommendations put in by
the experts and the commission just before
Congress adjourned And in reply he said
that an effort would be made during the
next Congress by Mr.. Dingley and himself
to secure the enactment into law of some
of the recommendations made.
