demonstration OF the necessity for it.
Nothing can be more evident than that If
the expenditures Of the state are to he re-
duced they must be reduced by the legis-
lature and the governor not only without
the help Of outsiders but against their
clamor and protest, sometimes their in
dignant protest. The legislature or the
governor or both have got to take the
responsibility entirely upon themselves of
cutting down the states expenditures,
and in the course of the process they have
got to tread upon the toes Of a good
many people, and good many institu
rions with the effect of subJeoting them
selves to q good deal of harsh criticism.
No institution which has asked for ten

Of the Legislature to refuse. The road to

The slender ma. ority by which theseom-
mites On foreign eff i voted to report
the arbitration treaty to the Senate does
not much encourage the hope that the
treaty even in its amended form will be
speedily adopted, unless great deal OF
pressure is brought to bear upon the
members. Furthermore the amendments
nay lie fatal to it even if it does pass,
for Of cruise ttey must be accepted by
Ed sIand, and it has teeu hintsd that Lord
Salisbury would prefer to zee the treaty
fail aItog etber than amended in any i'm
rgrtant particular, and it may be that he
" i'll regard the Senate changes as i'm
portant. It will be seen that most of the
opposition to the treaty in the Committee
comes from Democrats, and Democrats too,
who hage blen bitterly hostile to the adj
ininistrAtion. Their opposition to the one
may Lave nothing to do with their oppc-
sition 10 the other, but in view OF the
rumors that have been abroad there will
arise suspicion that they are as closely
connected as cause ant effect.

Minnesota Is DistastefuI to the
Underwriters There.

The Bankers Life Insurance COM
pany, Of this city, which was denied
permission to solicit business in Iowa
by the action of State Auditor Nc
Carly, of that state, VINO also acts as
insurance commissioner, has been mott
fed by committee of iowa underwent
ers that they will pay all the expenses
of an action for a writ of mand2mus
to compel McCarty to admit the Bank
ers' Life company, if the Bankers Life
will begin the action.
The preteXt on which the Bankers
Life was ruled out of Iowa is generally
considered a 1imsy one. Mr.. McCarty's
objection to it was that it was not
properly constituted ir respect to the
bylaws governing the use of proxies
at It's annual meetings When the ad-
mission sought was denied, the COM
pany reported the refusal to the Min
nesota insurance department, which de-
manded the reason for the refusal and
asked the Iowa auditor to state under
what provision of the law the Bankers
Life offended Mr. McCartys position
was somewhat dictatorlal, and negotia-
lions were not very amiable. Attorney
General Childs examined the insurance
laws of Iowa and exp essed the opin-
ion that the position taken by the au-
ditor of that state was unreasonable
and unjust,and on this advice Insurance
Commissioner Dearth notified the
loWan that under the retaliatory law,
all Iowa companies similar in plan to
the Bankers Life would be denied re-
neWals of their existing licenses. That
brought down a storm of opposition
from the underwriters of that state,
who have several companies doing
business in this state, while there is
only one company affected by the Iowa
auditors ruling. They went to Nc
Carly to get him to rescind his order,
but have so far failed, and now, in
order to protect their own future, they
are making overtures to the st. Paul
company to begin action to bring Nc
Carly to time.
1t is expected that the papers in the
action will be filed in the Iowa courts
in few days.

The Omaha's Kansas City mail and

terday morning within two or three
miles of Mankato by a washout caused
by the recent heavy rains. The ac-
cident occurred at Abs in the morning
within an hour after a heavy freight

spot. The engine, tender, mail and
express car, baggage car and smoker
were derailed. the engine ploughing
some distance through the mud after
leaving the track. Engineer NeiII was
unhurt, while his fireman, Bartlett
escaped with sprained ankle. The
mail clerk and express messenger es-
capped with slight bruises The train
which was due in st. Paul at 1925. was
loaded with Elks from Omaha and
other Southern points, and their four
sleepers were taken back to Mankato

Another terrific wind storm, accom-

city shortly before o'clock last even
ing causing considerable damage in
the outlying districts and throughout
the resident portions generally. For
a time those who had watched the APP
preach of the storm were fearful of
cyclone, as the movement and ap-
pearance of the clouds were peculiar.
From the southwest, pursuing the
course Of the river, a large area of
black and ominous clouds travelled
rapidly toward the northwest,
the extreme end appearing to
hang low over the river bot
tom, while from the north an
other swiftly moving body of clouds
were borne almost at right angles to
the first. Small Vaporous formations
in the clear space between the con-
verging banks were twisted, torn apart
and dissipated in a manner denoting
violent atmosphere conditions AS the
clouds met they seemed to circle about
the western part of the city, while

MAY CUT 1T FURTHER.
Council May Take a Slash at Teach
ers' Salaries.


The board Of education will hold a
meeting at 8 o'clock this morning to
formally approve the budget which
was ordered prepared a week ago. 1t
is expected some minor changes will
be made. Secretary Healey has the
document and a comparative state
ment, which will accompany the bud
get about completed, and it will be
forwarded to the mayor in time for
the conference committee meeting,
which is scheduled for July II.
Assistant Corporation Attorney Phil
lips stated yesterday that while the
charter read that the budget was to
be sent by the board to the mayor July
1 of each year, and by that official
submitted to the council within ten
days of it's receipt, the fact that it was
submitted later would make no par
ticular difference. There was no penal
ty provided for not sending in the bud
get July 1, and the delay could not
invalidate the conclusions reached by
the board. A number of the members
of the council have expressed the opin-
ion that the salaries of the teachers
might have been reduced considerably
more than they were in the published
account of the board meeting. 1t is
not improbable that the council will
reduce the aggregate amount of $780,
600 set apart for teachers salaries by
the board, and if this is done it will

SHOT IN THE BREAST.
Mrs. A. F. McAIIister Meets With n
Peculiar Accident.


AS the result of a peculiar Fourth of
July accident, Mrs. A F. McAlIister
lies at her home, $40 Case street, with
a " caliber bullet in her right breast
The ball entered between the fourth
and fifth ribs, penetrating the upper
angle of the lung. There is a slight
congestion of the right lung, and
though the wound is serious, DR.. Bin
der, who is attending Mrs. McAllister,
is of the opinion that her condition is
not dangerous.
Mrs. McAllister was shot while going
home with her husband Monday even
ing about o'clock. At Weide and
Case streets Mrs. McAllister was walk
ing ahead of her husband on account
OF the narrow sidewalk, when she sud
denly felt burning sensation on her
breast. There was no immediate pain
and Mrs. McAllister remarked to her
husband that she thought she had been
struck by a fire cracker, at the same
time expressing establishment, as there
was no accompanying sound of an eX-
ploSion. In a short time Mrs. Meal
lister felt severe pains in her breast
and, on placing her hand over the in
jured spot, found it stained with
blood The couple hurried toward
home and when Mrs. McAllister reach
ed the house she was weak from loss
of blood and suffering intensely. DR..
OlAluSI was IlIIIleNlly called ana lOunu
she had been shot. An effort was
made to extract the bullet, but when
the physician found that it had pene-
trated the lobe of the lung, he decided
it best not to probe further. The Of
ficials of the Margaret street police
station were notified of the accident
but the police have gained no knowl-
edge as to the person who probably
fired the shot.
Mr.. McAllister was seen at his home
last evening by a reporter for the
G e. He said he was satisfied in
his own mind that the shot was purely
accidental. He did not think he had
any enemies who would be malicious
enough to make an attempt upon the
life of his wife. He thought the shot
might have been fired by some boys in
the. neighborhood who were celebrating,
the Fourth with a Flobert rifle.
Mrs McAllister was reported to be
resting quietly last evening. She will
probably recover unless inflammation
sets in.

Hymen's Terors.

A minister in Columbus, O.,
says that women have more
nerve than men, as a rule. This,
he says, is especially the case
when it comes to marrying.
Sometime since he was called to
marry a young couple in what
might be called the aristocratic
circle. The young man was very
much excited, but was trying to
put on a bold face for the emer-
gency. To show that he was not
frightened in the least, he con-
cluded to ask the minister if it
was customary to kiss the bride.
After suffering for some time,
he finally broke out: els cussin
kistomory?" The minister
kindly informed him that it was
not, and the young man was led
to the altar like a lamb.

A wedding of considerable in

will occur at Bastrop Monday at

Duncan will solemnized the rites
of matrimony between Mr.. Glen
Fittger and Miss Carrie Maynard.
The bride is sister of our popu-
lar and efficient district attorney,
Hon. W. E. Maynard. The groom
is an CANCEL of commerce" who
has been making headquarters at
this place for several months.
He represents the old reliable
firm of P. J. Willis G. Bro, of
Galveston. His success as a
knight of the grip and his stand
ing with the house can be esti-
mated by the fact that among the
advance wedding presents re-
ceived Saturday morning there
was a check for 500, which his
employers begged he. would &C
cept as a slight token of their
appreciation of his services, and
their best wishes for his happi-
ness. Mr.. and Mrs. Fittger will
arrive in Brennan next Thurs
day and will occupy one of Mrs
Graders cottages on West Main
street.
