Centuries ago, people used to fear
what they called the pestilence.
"Blsck Death" was the most terrible
thing in the world to them. They
feared it as people now fear the chol-
era or yellow fever. And yet there is
thing that causes more misery and
more deaths than any of these. 1t is
so common that nine-tenths of all the
sickness In the world is traceable to
1T. 1t is merely that simple, common
thing, Constipation. 1t makes people
listless, causes dizziness, headaches,
loss of appetite, loss of sleep, causes
foul breath and distress after eating.
The little help needed is furnished by
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. One
pill is a gentle laxative and two mild
cathartic. Once used, always in ia
vor. If you are careless enough to let
an INSCRIPTIONS druggist sell you
something on which he makes more
money, it is your own fault if you do
not get we'll. Be sure and get DR..

Representative Jacobson, by his ter

led to the passage OF Johns measure

CLASSIFICATION OF CITIES.
Mr. Dunn Introduces a Bill Touchinc
the Subject.

Mr.. Dunn introduced two bills yes
terday which are of passing interest to
cities in this state. The first presents
an amendment to section So of article
OF the constitution, allowing cities al
ready incorporated to frame their char
tiers, and classifying cities for the pur.
pose of general legislation.
The amendment which the bill seeks
to amend is known as the Sheehan
amendment, and provides first that the
charter commission is appointed for
life. BY the Dunn bill the members
are appointed for not to exceed six
years. AS it now Is, this commission
may not be forced to proceed with the
work Of preparing amendments to such
charter. Mr.. Dunn's measure provides
that the commission must submit TO
the vote Of the people any proposed
amendments to the charter when per
cent OF the legal voters make written
application to the commission. Lastly
the Sheehan amendment contemplates
but three classification Of cities. viz:
less than $4,000; over $4,000, less than
$4,000; over $4,000. The proposed amend
ment OF Mr.. Dunn'S and in this as well
as other particulars 1t is supposed 20
meet the views of the Hennepin Ram
sey and ST, Louis counties delegations,
makes the following classifications:
Critics of 900 and over inha bitants;
cities Of from 100000 to 200 900 inhabi-
tants; cities of from 100000 to 10000
inhabitants; cities Of from 80, 900 to 100-
OGO inhabitants; cities of from $4,000 to
$4,000 inhabitants; cities of Is, 900 inhab-
itants or less.
This permits Duluth, ST. Paul and
Minneapolis each to go in separate di-
visions If desired, something impossible
under the present law. The Dunn bill,
however, is still more elastic, for by its
provisions any consecutive classes may
be grouped or a general charter law
may be passed affecting all cities alike.
MIR. Dunn's committee has the credit
Of having appreciated the inconvenient
arrangement Of the cities according to
the Sheehan schedule and with having
passed upon its effect. The Sheehan
amendment makes the arbitrary appIi-
cation to only one classification while
under the Dunn bill legislation may be
made to apply to one classification, 10
two or more consecutive classes as a
group, or to all cities in the state with
out regard to class or population,
which shall apply equally to all cities
The second bill authorizes cities of
over $4,000 to appoint not more than
three commissioners, to be made by the
district judge, and also to appropriate
not more than $4,000 for the payment
OF such a commission, to draft char
tiers. The bill provides that such char
ter shall be begun one year, finished
two months and printed in a city paper
one month before any general session
Of the legislature.

COUNTY OPTION BILL.
Temperance Committee Will Not In
dOrse the Measure


Chairman Holman and his temper
arce committee got together again yes
terday for the further consideration of
the much talked of county option bill
House File 262. by Mr.. HOLSTER. and
although the sentiment Of the commit
tee is pretty generally known, the mat
ter was again deferred, this time until
next Wednesday night, when hearing
might be granted to a number of per,
sons who are opposed to the bill.
Mr.. HOLSTER, when the committee
was called to order, introduced a sub
stltute, which only changes the original
measure by the addition Of druggists
clause, which provides that under any
and all circumstances they NAV sell
liquor, but only under prescription. and
that only once, and that said prescrip-
tons must be recorded and kept
Matt Gallagher, a MINNEAPOLIS law
yer, appeared on behalf of interests he
represents, and asked that the commit
tee would set a time when they may
be heard In opposition to the passage
OF the bill. Mr.. Gallagher urged that
the friends of the bill had repeatedly
been heard by the committee and
thought 1t only fair that others should
receive the same fair treatment. Mr.
Hollister and Mr.. st. John urged thai
the matter had been pending long
enough, and that the bill should be re-
ported out as soon as possible. They
begged that some day before the date
set should be named when the bill
might be reported. Mr. Holster ex-
planned that inasmuch as only two
members Of the committee were known
to favor the bill, it might as we'll be re-
ported for indefinite postponement now
as later.
1t is understood that the bill will be
fatally tabled by the committee, but
that the indications are that the house
Will insist on passing on the bill itself
in the committee of the whole.

ONE OF poTrG1EsER,s PETS
Is RuthIessIy Slaughtered by the
Senate.

The Pottgieser bill, requiring all
druggists and their successors in bust
ness, upon demand, to furnish and de-
liver a copy or copies Of prescriptions
to persons presenting the same from
any practicing physician, and prescrib-
ing penalty for any neglect or refusal
SO to do, unles for reasons prescribed
was debated at length. DR.. Cole sub
mitted an amendment to provide that
the bill should not apply to preScrip-
lions containing 20 per cent or more
of VinOUS malt or spir1tuouS liquors
He said it would give an opportunity
for every druggist in the state to sell
whisky without stint. DR.. Durham, Of
AnOka, also opposed it. DR.. Cole said
the bill was bad one, and would, as
a matter of fact, be imperative
through the cooperation of physicians.
Every prescription would then be
marked mot to be refilled." PreScrip-
tions that might be good at one time
would be dangerous at others. The
bill was roundly denounced, and was
the occasion of some sharp repartee
between DR.. Cole and Senator Young
which enlivened the debate. The bill
was ruthlessly slaughtered on a call,
as follows:
Ayes-French, Fuller Greer, Hanna,

gieser, Reishus. Rindal, Roverud Ste

THREE TOWN SITES
ARE RIVALS FOR THE COUNTY
SEAT OF BELTRAMI
COUNTY.
LIVELY TILT IN COMMITTEE
OVER THE PROPOSED ORGANIZA.
TION-T. b. WALKER AND WE.
STREET LEAD,
RAILROAD LAND TAX TO PASS.
Hodge Bill Is Decided to BE Constf.
tutional by the Senate Commit
tee ON Judiciary.

The senate committee on towns and
counties was the scene of lively tilt
last night between T. B. Walker, the
Minneapolis lumberman, and w. F.
street and others of the promoters Of
the organization of Beltrami and Itas-
ca. counties. The fight was in general
a repetition of that which was gone
over in the house, although rather more
acerbity was manifested in last nights
discussion than has been the
rule in previous consideration of
the case. 1t is claimed by
that the establishment of new county
organizations in the counties would en-
tail great additional expense, which,
they say, must be borne almost entire
~ by the lumbermen, who have the
most extensive property interests In
the counties involved. They also
charged that the organization move
ment lin BeltraIni was in the interest
Of Bemidji, the new town in which
Tams Bixby, A G. Clausen and other
prominent Republicans are interested.
Mr. Walker said that if the organiza-
ton was insisted upon, lit would force
the lumbermen to cut all the standing
pine in their possession as early as
possible in order to get it out of the
field Of that taxation.
Mr.. Street and the others presenting
the other side of the case, however, in
sisted that, so far from it being in the
Interest of Bemidji, there We're three
town sites anxious for the county seat,
the other two being Turtle Lake and
Bagley Dam. Mr.. Street and Mr. Walk
er got into very lively argument as
TO the number and location of the peo-
pie in the county, as we'll as to the ad-
vantage Of the present system of gov
eminent under which Beltrami is at
tached to Becker county for purposes
of government. 1t was claimed by the
promoters Of the organization scheme,
that the present authorities desisted
from immediate taxation, in the mean
time issuing bonc>, the interest on
which only would ultimately be paid
by the people of BeItrami county, but
not until a long term of years when
the lumbermen had cleared off their
timber The committee went into exec
utive session after hearing the argu-
ments, but only remained a few min
utes, the senators present desiring fur
Their time in which to consider it.
The senate committee on investiga-
ton of the labor bureau was also
scheduled to meet last night. but. ow-
Ing to some misunderstanding tonight
was announced as the next meeting.
The senate committee on printing
was to meet last evening to consider
the deficit Of $4,000 in the printing
fund, but for some reason or other did
not get together, probably on account
Of Senator Masterman, who is one Of
bhe members, being engaged with the
committee on towns and counties.

but it was finally recommended to pass
as amended
The election bill by the same author,
relating TO special elections, giving To-
cal political committees full power to
Tx the dates for primaries, was also
recommended to pass as amended.
The Morgan bill, to facilitate the set
tlement Of insolvent estates, aroused
some opposition. The bill is one CIV
ing the judge Of the court power to
turn over incontrovertable assets to
creditors in full or partial satisfaction
of their claims.
There seemed to be some question as
to the practicability Of administering
the bill without discriminating against
certain of the creditors. Progress was
reported.
The judiciary committee having report
ed that in it's opinion the Hodge bill
for making effective the Anderson rail-
read land tax, adopted by the people
at the last election, could properly or
iginate in the senate, the bill was rec
commended to pass without dissent.
The Wyman bill for the Gettysburg
monument dedication, with the original
appropriation cut materially, was re-
ported. 1t was proposed to take the
survivors of the old First Minnesota
charge to the exercises. Some of the
senators thought that all the First Min
the expense which would be incident
thereto was made the occasion to limit
the excursion to the actual survivors
of the historic charge at Gettysburg,
but 1t was finally decided to extend the
privilege to those who were members
Of the regiment at the time Of the bat
tie, whether In actual service or not.
In the debate on the Stebbins bill,
creating the office of state fire marshal
the author Of the bill charged that in
| his experience it had been known that
certain factory had been set on fire
| for the insurance at an hour when ii
| imperilled the lives Of a hundred peo-
| pie.
| The creation of such an office would
| materially reduce the number Of fires

| til tomorrow.

GUARDIANS OF INEBRIATEs.
Provisions to Meet Cases That Occur
at Rochester.

Senator Stebbinst yesterday introduce
ed bill providing that, at the request
of friends. either the superintendent or
assistant superintendent Of the Roch-
ester insane hospital may be appointed
temporary guardian for inebriates ir
the hospital, pending the appointment
of a regular guardian. In no case is
the appointment of the superintendent
or assistant to be for q longer period
than thirty days. The change is to al
low the immediate commitment of in
ebriates to the hospital. Under the
present law the commitment cannot
take place under fourteen days, as 1t
requires that a guardian for the pa
tient must first be appointed, and this
requires fourteen days time.
A senate amendment provides that
inebriates who become insane while in
the inebriate department may be COM
mitted to the hospital proper by the
probate Judge Of Olnlsted county, and
that that county shall be reimbursed
for the expense by the county from
which the patient was sent up.

EVADED TWO QUESTIONS.
Railroad Commission Failed to
Come to the Scratch.

Come to the Scratch.
The railroad and warehouse COM
mission evaded the answers asked for
by the senate as to the most impOr
tant matters on which information was
sought by Senator Miller's recent reso-
luton, and contented itself with pre-
senting a summary of the STEVENSON
rate case and some tables that look
like the trial balance Of a department
store. 1t is a very pretty specimen
of red and black in work, but the mem
bers Of the senate think it tells as lit
tie about what was asked for as could
be done in double the space, even by
the state labor statistician.
The figures show that during the last
ten years there has been a mean re-
duction Of 1872 per cent in the rates
charged on roads in the state. The
least reduction is in ore rates, 11.9 per
cent; the greatest on wheat, 26.5 per
cent. The Northern Pacific has made
the greatest decrease, 28.5 per cent,
while the Duluth, Missabe & Northern
shows an increase of ga per cent.
The inquiry as to what the commits
sion thinks would be a reasonable
schedule of rates on grain is answered
by submitting the schedule which was
insisted upon in the Stevenson case,
as yet undecided. This schedule pro-
vided four cents a hundred pounds for
the nrSt hVe miles or less, increasing
2.5 mills for every mile up to forty
miles, then mills for every mile UP to
165, after which it increases 1 mill per
mile up to 400 miles. AS to the main
questions, however, the inquiry as to
what roads, in the opinion of the COM
mission, should reduce their rates, and
on what classes, the commission begs
leave to be excused, because cts po-
sition is quast-judicial, and it is averse
IN p~iU nY n re on a
subject which might come before it
later for determination"
Another resolution will probably be
fired into the comission, taking it to
task for its APPARENT unwillingness to
give desired information.

THEY NEED MORE MONEY.
State Fairs Allowance Has Been Cut
Too Small.

1t IS the opinion Of the members Of
the executive committee Of the state
fair association that the appropriation.
of $4,000 for a water works system on
the state fair grounds is inadequate
and it is probable that steps will be
taken to have the bill amended before
It's passage. Some of the state fair
managers consulted with the water
commissioners and the cost Of the
piping, laying, etc, as given in the
G o b e, including only that portion
outside of the grounds. is thought to
be nearly correct. The cost is given at
something like S5,842. This leaves 3d.
SIS for the six-inch distribution pipes
over the ground, and the water COM
missioners Join with the fair people
in thinking this amount is insufficient
to properly pipe the grounds. The
sum of $4,000 is believed to be the
smallest which will allow the grounds
to be properly supplied with a force
of water for fire protection, and thu
watering Of stock and grounds.
