The reapportionment bill which
will very likely be passed at this SEES
sion of the Legislature will not make
any change in this district as to
representative, but will be cut down
in size. Big Stone county will be cut
off and attached to Swift, the two
making one district. That will leave
Stevens, Grant and Traverse as a
district and allow us two representa-
tives and one senator, or represent
alive from each county. This will
undoubtedly give the most satisfac-
ton to the people of this district of
any plan yet spoken Of There was
some hopes of leaving this district as
it is and adding one more representa-
tive, but the population of the four
counties is SO small that it will not
permit it to be done.

1t has been so long since members
of the cabinet took the trouble to go
to the Capitol to confer with mem
bers of the house and senate on pub
lie matters that the visit of Secretary
Sherman to the senate foreign rela-
tons committee, for the purpose of
discussing and getting the opinions
of the senators on certain matters
connected with the foreign policy of
the new administration was regarded
by some as an innovation. 1t was
merely resumption of the co-opera-
tive relations that ought to exist be-
tween The executive and legislative
branches of the government. At
tcrney General McKenna has also
been visitor to the senate this week.

Mr.. Davis is another Western raised
man having livedin Minnesota since
childhood, where his father went at
an early day as one of the pioneers.
Mr.. Davis is So years old, a man of
splendid health, fine intellect, ju-
dicious and safe legislator, and one
whose every impulse is enlisted in the
we'll being of his country.
Being Intercepted relative to Ha-
waii, he expressed himself as in favor
of annexation under certain restric-
tons, and believed that that will be
the policy Of the present administra-
ton. Heis very much pleased with
Mr.. McKinley's administration so far,
and expresses the belief that good
times will come, and come very rapid
ly. In answering the question wheth
er he believed we had sufficient
volume Of currency; he replied that
we had more money now per capita
than we had from 1881 to 1886 yet
the country never knew SO prosper
Gus an era as that. Mr. Davis be-
ieves that now the Republicans are
in control, that it will give confidence
to capital, and that the dollars in
stead of being lazy dollars, locked up
in the vaults, will be active, eager
dollars in the avenues of trade and
commerce, which will mean general
to all.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an in1amed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and I'M
less the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an intlamed
condition of the mucous surfaces
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness, caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

CUSTOMARY, ONLY.

some time, for every session OF the
legislature to donate to the newspa-
per reporters hundred or two hun
dred dollars of the states money,
which, eventually, came out OF the
taxpayers pocket. Why this is done,
as vet, no mortal man has been able
to satisfactorily explain. The Times
reporter is not Gin it" on the "divy,"
consequently this is what that paper
says of the transaction:
"Th6 Legislature is making up its
roster of newspaper reporters who are
to receive the customary ex post fac
to bride, No Times reporter is on
the list. 1t is the only daily paper in
the twin cities whose reporters are
not on that roll of journalistic bribe-
takers. Every newspaper which per
mits its representative to accept his
share of that inexcusable and utterly
fragrant steal from the taxpayers
writes itself down a self-confessed
boodler Every reporter who accepts
the money thus flched from the peo-
pie, is himself paltry pilferer, His
paper knows, and he knows, that he
has not the shadow of claim upon
the legislature for an appropriation
out of the state treasury of 500 or
$500 for services he has not rendered
to the state. Indeed, the appropria-
ton of $1,000 to $1,000 to reporters
10y each legislature, is not only for
services not rendered, but it is for
their failure to render services which !
the public have right to expect from
them and the newspapers they repre-
sent The corrupt doucer of 500 to
$500 to each newspaper reporter
means important legislative news
suppressed, slurred over, members
fulsomely praised, when they should
have been criticised or condemned;
5spportant bills chung up in commit
tees, lat the dictation of corporations;
corrupt lobbies permitted to pursue
their Infamous business without
word of exposure; combinations and
conspiracies to loot the treasury,
without word Of warning to the
people, who support the newspapers,
and have the first claim to their SER
vices; costly junkets, and inexcusable
Sinking of duty and waste of time,
without word of censure from the
press. Why should the taxpayers of
this state pay $1,000, or more, every
session of the legislature to the repre-
sentatives of the daily papers? In
the first place, they are not employed
by the people. They are employed
by the papers they represent. Those
papers pay them adequate salaries
for their services, or they should do
so. No honest paper, intent upon
serving the people faithfully, should
send reporter to represent it in eth
er branch of the state legislature,
with the understanding that his sal
airy is to be eked out by an appropri-
alton out of the state treasury. Every
paper that does so becomes not only
the tacit approver, but the indirect
beneficiary of a robbery of the tax
payers.
This is plain language, but it is
simply stating the exact truth. The
fact that it has long been the custom
to thus subsidize the reporter and
buy their silence or compliance, does
not justify its perpetuation. The
more ancient the fraud. the more rea-
son it should be uprooted now. It is
tine for all self-respecting and hon
orable newspapers to demand its dis
continuance"

a great deal of notoriety during the pen
dency of the famous insurance case of Dr.

securing fifty thousand dollars worth of
life policies. Edmunds was Fraker's office
boy in Missouri, and swore on the stand
that he had seen the physician drown
When Fraker was later found hiding in the
Minnesota woods and brought back here
for trial Edmunds disappeared. He doomed
up in Colorado Springs recently as the Of
flee boy of DR.. Fraker who, after being
discharged had gone to that State to prac-
tice. Edmunds, it appears, disappeared
from Colorado Springs a few days before
the Kay murder, after stealing the doctor s
revolver. Now DR.. Fraker has given the
Colorado officials damaging evidence
against the boy who formerly defended
him.
When young Edmunds arrived at the sta

because he had left the doctors service.
