w. A. Frost. Of this city, president Of
the state board of pharmacy, is unde-
clded as to whether to be amused or
annoyed by the story in a MINNEAPOLIS
paper that the bill introduced yester-
day in the house by Representative
Smith Oh. F. 233), is aimed at him be-
cause he both maintains a school of
pharmacy and is president of the board
which examines candidates.
He never was in Fergus Falls in his
life, although he is said to have con-
Quoted & school of pharmacy there, and
ne never was in any way connected
with such an institution. The fact is
that the bill is introduced for the pur-
pose OF reaching A. L. Harding a
| member of the board, who has such a
school here in st. Paul, and whose
scalp is said to be wanted by persons
In Minneapolis having a similar phar-
macy school. The bill, which simply
provides that no person connected with
amy institution for the education of
students in pharmacy shall be eligible
to membership on the board, appears
like an attempt to bolster up the at
tempt to reflect on Harding,

intimated that the bill is in no immedi-
ate danger of becoming a law.
Representative Smith introduced a bill ask
ing fer 5000 for the relief CT James Leek
for part of the loss he sustained as contractor

in 1895.
Certainly Representative Foss, the author
Of the morbid sentimentality' bill has trou-
bles all his own. His fellow members will
neither allow his bill to get further than the
committee, nor will they return it to him.
and he is bowed down in consequence. Mr..
Foss hasn't had very good luck with his bills
anyway. His tramp bill is still in the hands
OF a special committee, and H. F. 173, the
only other bill he has introduced beside his
mower bill, was yesterday sent back from
the Judiciary committee with the fateful lin
definite postponement clause affixed.
his bill to prevent the fostering of morbid
MOWERS and other gifts to criminals in Jail
came back from the crimes and punishment
committee yesterday. In moment Mr.. Foss
knew it was doomed. He protested strongly
that the bill had some good points, and asked
that the committee be given another chance.
In the confusion which followed there is
some doubt as to whether the vote to place
the bill on general orders resulted in the
affirmative or negative, but at all events,
when adjournment time came, Mr.. Foss asked
to be allowed to have his bill back again.

Johns, touches the matter of salaries

amount is fixed at $4,000.
