prairie land must report to the chief fire
warden the names of town supervisors and
the fire wardens must comply with instruc-

TO RELIEVE ST. LOUIS.
Representative Schmidt EXPLAINS
the Provisions of III. #. 7OS.

When H. F. 7OS, introduced by Representa-
i've schmidt, of Duluth, had been reported
yesterday morning, the author rose and ex-
planned that the bill sought to require county
auditors and city comptrollers to furnish GER
tlncates OF taxes and assessments that ara
delinquent. The people of st. Louis county
were IN bad way and sought prompt relief.
The BILL If passed under suspension Of the
rules, would give this relief. 1t provided that
the ofhcers mentioned shall, upon request
give ceruhcates as to any delinquent taxes
OF assessments upon any property upon the
payment OF 25-cent fee to be paid to the
county treasurer In St. Louis county the
audltor, Odtn Halden, has refused since his
Indictment by the grand jury, to issue these
certihcates for the reason according to Mr..
Schmidt, that the fees go to the treasurer and
not to himself. This county auditor insists
that there is no law requiring him to issue
the certificates.
Mr.. Jacobson opposed the suspension plan
and suggested that the auditor should be com
PEELED to Issue the certificates and that, too.
without additional fee. He thought his sal
airy should cover this labor.
Judge Hicks sided with the Duluth repre-
sentative, and felt that to expect this free
service from the auditor would make him
the prey Of tax title sharks, who would over
whelm the auditor and his clerks with re-
quests for certificates.
Upon motion Of Judge Hicks the bill was
given its first and second reading and placed
on general orders.

Senate Small Talk.

The finance committee of the senate met at
noon today and recommended the capitol ap-
vides for issuing short time bonds, so the
work of building can be carried on. The
appropriation for sending the veterans to the
unwilling of the monument at Gettysburg was
cut in half. 1t will now be IS 900.
The judiciary committee heard Matt Gal
lagher and others in behalf of the Merchants
Salvage coprs bill, but came to no decision.
Senator Cronkhite moved that committee
be appointed to inquire into the necessity
II any, of revision and improvement of the
railroad laws as to give the commission
power to regulate rates and compel the oper-
alton Of the roads on a basis which shall give
the people their Just demands. It was adopted.

Import of New Bills.

Two bills amending the Russian thistle
law were introduced by Senator Miller. One
provides that the weed agent shall spend as
many days in a locality as the mapor or chair

allows the board Of county commissioners to
abate the taxes for eXterminating the thistle,
where such tax works extreme hardship.
An appropriation Of 81 800 is asked to &C

The department store Investigators will
present the following conclusions to the SEN

That, except in some instances, the de-

acter of goods at q less price than did the
legitimate dealer, who handled but one line
Of merchandise.
That the department stores depended very

WOODCHUCkS INIT.
System of Percentages in the Print
ing Contracts.

The senate committee on printing
will make it's report on the investiga-
lion of the state printing department
this morning. The committee has
found the system of percentages, ETC..
under the present law extremely cum
bersOme and expensive. There are
tCO many opportunities for wood
chucks" and Senator Miller will in
corporate the ideas of the committee
in bill providing that all contracts
for printing shall be let to the lowest
bidder direct.
The $4,000 deficiency is probably due
partly to this system and partly to
the fact that the legislature has stead
lily refused to increase the printing ap-
preparations as the demands upon it
increased and the deficiency has been
growing for years

a time last night The intent of the measure
appeared to be all right, but some fault was
found with the manner in which it was
drawn and a substitute will be drawn with
the assistance of Gen. Clapp, which will be
favorably recommended by the committee.

Fire Protectors Not Wanted iAThat
ViIIaEe.


Upon learning that your little city
was devoid Of fire protection" said an
agent for a fire extinguisher to the
president Of the village, Il resolved to
visit you and the trustees with a view
Of establishing a complete system to
protect your homes and business from
the rayages Of fire"
you needn't say another word, re-
piled the chief executive, with a fierce
look upon his countenance. I'VE have
had considerable experience in that
line ourselves, and we don't intend to
let another Of you silk-hatted city men
rope US in again. I'll take the time and
pains for once and convince you that
the whole blamed system is a curse
to anything and everything, Come
around here with me. Do you see that
ruined barn, the fame-Chsrred house
and sheds and that black fence? Young
man, that is the work Of your own ma
chimes. and you'd better take my advice
and scatter out of this before the folks
find you out"
u know. my dear friend, but I'm not
selling such engines Of destruction, in
sisted the surprised agent.
well, now, that's ali nice enough.
The last one Of you fellows preached
The same thing. be came here and got
US to build a whoppin' big fire in the
alley. We soaked the boards and boxes
with oil just as ne asked US to. We
touched the match and away she went.
Now turn on your fire business, said
], and be began to flourish the brass
pail around. Then he twisted the han
die on the top. Some kind Of white
fosming liquid Hpurted out and covered
him. Thefellow dropped on the ground
and commenced to yell. The machine
had burEted. Up he jumped and legged
it across Iots-we never saw him again.
The IRE caught the fence and spread
TO the sheds. house and barn. Cleaned
up a good $4,000 worth Of property.
Seems to me we've had enough Of fire
machines, so don't waste your time
looking for trouble, because that's all
you1 find around here"
The agent, silent, plodded his weary
way TO the railroad station and took
the next train out.-Detroit Free Press.
