MORE THAN A MAJORITY CAST.
KELLY FOR Observation-Disclosures.

The amendment taxing railway
lands, voted upon by the electors Of the
state at the recent election, has re-
ceiVed a sufficient number of votes to
be declared a iaw-provided the SUI
preme court uphOlds the validity of
the measure known as the Anderson
bill, which was the amendment voted
upon, for it is almost certain that the
railroads affected by the law will at
tack its validity in the courts.
To be adopted it was necessary that
majority of all the votes cast at the
recent election be declared in favor
of the measure. The total vote of the
election was approximately 341, 900. The
official canvass may increase or reduce
that toal slightly. The unofficial re-
turns from all but eleven counties show
that the Anderson amendment received
1S2,773 Votes-12 900 more than a ma
jority. The returns from the remain
ing counties yet to hear from will prob
ably increase that majority by several
thousands.
An analysis of the vote shows that
it was regarded as an important meas
ure by all the counties, as the vote for
that amendment was greater than for
any Of the other amendments, not eX-
cepting that relating to the cOnstitu-
tional convention. In every county the
vote was largely in favor of the adop-
ton of the law especially in the rural
districts. But it is doubtful if the voters
generally understood that the measure
needed a majority of all the votes cast,
otherwise 1t is fair to assume that the
vote for it would have been greater,
as in some instances the vote was very
light on all the amendments. In some
of the upper counties the result of the
balloting would indicate that the vot-
ers wearied Of the task of marking the
ballots, and when they reached the
section containing the amendments
simply passed them by and did not
vote either way.
The voters having declared them
selves, it now remains for the courts to
decide as to the validity of the law.
The principal railway lines effected are
the Northern Pacific. Great Northern
and St. Paul & Duluth, and it is Ger
tain they will go into the courts. The
principal point of attack will be the
manner in which the Anderson bill
passed the last legislature. In different
forms the same idea had been en-
bodied in bills that failed of passage
in the two previous sessions, and the
Anderson bill passed the senate in 1895
by one vote, that cast by Frank Day,
who had been elected lieutenant gov
ernor to fill the vacancy and was pre-
siding when he cast the decisive vote.
1t is contended that Lieutenant Cover
nor Day had not the right to vote, and
that, therefore, the Anderson bill never
passed the Legislature. Another con-
tention and one which the law ex-
pressly mentions, is that the state can
not tax the gross earnings Of the roads,
and the railroad lands as we'll. The
Anderson bill expressly states that

SHE SAVED HIS LIFE.
Johnson Fell But Did Not Strike the
Sidewalk

E. l.. Johnson, janitor at the Ken
drick block, 27 East Seventh street, fell
from a window in the second story Of
the building yesterday morning. john
son was cleaning the window in DR..
Jones' office and was standing on the
sill outside the window. The sill is
covered with ice and this was the cause
of Johnson's fall. A pail of water &C
companied Johnson in his tumble and
both the janitor and the water struck
an elderly woman who was passing
along the sidewalk at the time. The
woman, who could talk only German,
and whose name Patrolman Carroll
could not understand, was knocked
down but not injured. Johnson was
carried to DR. Hendricks office and as
soon as he could get over his scare, was
found to have escaped serious injury.
His right hip was bruised, his wrist
sprained and there was an abrasion on
his right cheek, but he was able to
walk to his home.

Couldn't Congratulate Her.

M. Paul Deroulede, the French poet
and dramatist, was captain of company

ment of national defense in 1871. At
one time he had to lead his company
against a street barricade in Paris
raised by communists.
Some signs of resistance had been OBJ
served behind. AS Deroulede marched
his men onward, a woman sprang to the
top Of the barricade, aimed chassepot
rifle at the leader and fired
The soldiers ducked their heads, but
no one was hit They marched on, De-
roulede in advance. He smiled, eying
calmly the woman, who leveled her
gun at him and fired again. Once more
no one was hit. On went the soldiers
steadily, their captain smiling, the
woman on the barricade continuing to
charge her piece and to fire each time
as nearly as she could at Deroulede.
Presently, however, the soldiers were
on the barricade The woman threw
away her gun and stood with folded
arms. She was one of the petroleuses-
the furious fighting women Of the COM
mune. Deroulede looked behind the
barricade to see who else was defending
it. No one was there; the woman was
alone.
Then he took off his cap, bowed low
to the woman, and said very politely,

E. H. Hume, an athletic looking Eng

down with black diphtheria. There had
been an epidemic Of the disease in the
town and vicinity, and I, always sus-
ceptible to contagious diseases, was one
of the first in the regiment to take it.
Every day grew worse, until the sur

ward called Il parliament, founded up
on the great principle that "what con-
Germs all should be approved by all. "
This was i'll 1895, and on this declara-
ton, so far as successful government is
concerned, hang all the law and the
profits.
The following year Edward marched
into Scotland, where he captured Baliol
and sent him to France, where he died,
in boundlcss obscurity, in 1897. Baliol
was succeeded by the brave William
Wallace, who won a great battle at
Stirling, but was afterward defeated en-
tirely at Falkirk and in 1905 was exc
cuted i'll London by request.
But the Scotch called to their aid
Robert Bruce, the grandson of Ballots s
ed at the abbey of Scone.
During successful campaign against
these people Edward fell sick and died
in 1907. He left orders for the Scottish
war to be continued till that restless
and courageous people We're subdued.
Edward was called the English JUS
tinian, yet those acts for which he is
most famous We're reluctantly done be-
cause of the demands made by deter
mined people.
During his reign gunpowder was dis
covered by Roger Bacon, whereby Guy
Fawkes was made possible. Without
him England would still be a slumber-
ing fog bank upon the shores of time.
Young Edward was not much of a
monarch. He forgot to fight the Scots,
and soon Robert Bruce had won back
the fortresses taken by the English, and
Edward III, under the influence of an at
tractive tritlcr named Gaveston, daw-
died away his days and frittered away
his nights, Finally the mobiles, who dis
liked GavcstOn, captured him and put
him i'll Warw icll castle, and i'll 1912 the
royal favorite was Mortified to find near
him large pool of blood, and ON a fur
ther search discovered his own head ly-
ing in the gutter Of the court. Turning
sick at the CORY sight, he buried his face
i'll his handkerchief and expired.

tion to the victorious Scots

to exile both of these wicked advisers.
Afteward the king attacked Lancas-
ter with his army, and, having captured
him, had him executed in 1922.
The Spencers now returned, and the
queen began to cut up strangely and
create talk. She formed the acquaint-
ance of Roger Mortimer, who consented
to act as her paramour. They organized
a scheme to throw off the Spencers and
dethrone Edward the Thinkless, her hus-
band, in 1925.
Any one who has tried to be king
even for a few weeks under the above
circumstances must agree with the his

Sportsmen's Notebooks.

Nearly every sportsman keeps a note
book, in which are recorded dates, places
and kinds, sizes, conditions and so on
of the game or fish he does or does not
take. Such man, when he tells story,
big, little or odd can clinch it by refer
ring to his book. Every naturalist finds
it imperative to note every detail of his
observations, and at the end of ten years
or year he finds a satisfaction in look
ing over his notes which is worth the
trouble ten times over. There are men
who have notes dating back over 80
years which would be mine of wealth
for writers on natural history. One man
carried scales in the woods with him for
years and weighed piece by piece the
moose and other big game that he kill
ed, noting it down carefully, so that
now, after long hunting life, he can
give the average weight of any wild
animals with which he is familiar. -
