Mr.. Hill asked II all these claims were

SPLIT UP THE DELEGATION.
Frontage Tax Matter VIII Have a
Minority Report.

The Ramsey county delegation met
again yesterday to take final action on
the two bills which were discussed at
some length the day before The bill
which Henry Johns introduced at the
instance of the county commissioners
to authorize the latter to issue bonds
in the sum of $S5, 900 for the laying out.
construction and maintenance of Il
n,acadamized road from ST.. PaHl to
White Bear lake. was recommended for
indefinite postponment
The second bill CHI, F. 700 introduced
by Mr.. McGill to repeal two sections of
the law providing for water frontage
tax, was not disposed of so easily. A
majority of the delegation were in favor
or the measure as being a Just and
equitable one, and one needed at this
time. Messrs. Scott and Johns opposed
the passage of the bill on the ground
that 1t would furnish no relief to the
tax payers but in fact would impose
an additional burden upon those who
have paid up their frontage taxes.
They quoted the mayor and city
comptroller as expressing the opinion
that the repeal OF the tax would only
serve to increase the water rates When
the vote to favorably recommend the
bill was taken, Messrs McGil. Nc
Donald, Dunn, baltimore and Snod-
grass voted in the affirmative with
Scott, and Johns opposed. Representa-
tive Martin, who had in the first place
favored the BILL explained that most
of the people of his ward had paid their
frontage tax on mains which had been
down for years, and thus would not
favor the bill. He voted against a
favorable recommendation. 1t is I'M
dtrstCCd that Mr. Scott will submit
minority report to the house.

WANT THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
DuIuthians Here to5LTge an Appro-
priatiOn.

superintendent r. e. eDenfeld, of the
Duluth school system,Tand City Clerk
G. +. Richardson. appeared before the
subcommittee on appropriations of the
house yesterday to urge favorable con-
derati n of he application of st. Louis
county lOr an appropriation for her
normal school. The gentlemen urged
that chapter IS4 of the General Laws of
1895, provided that the Duluth normal
school shall be established, etc, and
then pointed out that the land for the
site had been decided to the state, had
been approved by the state normal
board and the title approved by the
attorney general. They urged that St.
Louis county had never asked for nor
received anything from the state, that
ST. Louis county held one eleventh OF
the assessed valuation of the state;
that Duluth can furnish fifty normal
school pupils the year round. and that
not less than thirty, are now paying
tuition at the Wisconsin normal school
in West SUPERIOR, They further say
that there, are in the Duluth schools
over 200 teachers at present, that each
new year brings need of about
seventy new ones, and that last year
there were but nine available from
the normal schools in this state.

New Senate Bills,

senator Theden introduced a bill defining
what shall constitute a newspaper for the
pubfcation of legal notices. The main
amendment is that paper may be published
wholly or partly in a foreign language.
A modest little bill, by Senator A. G. John
sen asks an appropriation of $3.50 to provide
uniforms for the state training school band.
Dill by Senator Jones would give a first
lien on the grain threshed to all persons oper-
at1ng a threshing machine.
Senator Theden points out that the district
judges of the Fourth district are overworked.
owing to the adoption of the constitutional
amendment requiring three months citizen
ship preceding election, thus making much
additional work for the judges. The addi-
tional judge is asked for two years.
Senator Potter has offered a bill which will
provide for general clearance sale of lands
bid in and held by the state for taxes. An
attempt must be made to sell for the amount
OF accrued taxes and interest, but if this can
not be done then the highest bid must be
accepted. Senator Potter has investigated
the matter, and estimates that over a million
dollarss!be realized by such a sale.

THREE MEN ATOMIZED.
Blown to Pieces by an Explosion OF
Dynamite.

Dynamite.
PHILADELPHIA March ga terrific ex-
plosion occurred this afternoon at the works
Of the Dupont Chemical company, located on
the banks Of the Delaware river at Gibbstown
N. j. Three men, James Henderson, Pauls-
boro, N. j.; Carl Wright PauIsboro ~ IT,
and Thomas Stiles, Asbury Park NJ j., were
blown to atoms. gang Of workmen who
|, started to clear away the Wreckage imrnedf-
ately after the explosion were able to find
only fragments of the remains of the unfortu-
nate men. The explosion occurred in the sep-
arating building and that structure with four
other buildings surrounding it was blown to
sIAnters.
The destroyed factory was devoted to the
manufacture of dynamite and Atlas powder
and, because Of the dangerous character Of
the explosives turned out was remote from
any habitation. The shock Of the explosion
was plainly felt at points twenty five miles
away.
This Is the second time within twelve years
that explosion has occurred at these works
On March a. 1884, there was an explosion In
which the entire works were destroyed, and
six persons killed. The explosion was at the
time supposed to have been caused by too
much heat being generated by nitric acid.
The explosion today occurred at II IA O'Clock
when the workmen were returning from din
ner. Most Of them had not reached their
posts the loss Of life would have been
greater The conclusion was felt for miles
around. The mutilated remains Of the three
victims were gathered Into two buckets The
sides totally destroying the two houses It
tore a hole fully so feet long and Is feet
wide in the ground where they had stood.
The plant covers about 600 acres and In
consequence Of the dangerous character OF
the work carried on, is almost completely
isolated from any habitation. In addition to
the killed, ten men felt the force Of the
shock and were seriously injured
The cause of the explosion is assigned to
excessively high temperature IN one Of the
houses.

action, these being bills for reimbursing
c. c. Clement and j. W. Northrup for
supplies furnished by them to the en-
campment last summer at Lake View.
through a contractor, who had been
paid by the First regiment, of the Min
nesota national guard, and who disap-
peared with the funds without paying
these gentlemen. The bills called for
repayment by the state of the amounts
due these parties, and their cause was
championed by Mr.. Munger, who stat
ed the facts, and in the course of his
remarks admitted that there was no
legal liability on the part of the state
to repay the amount, but that both
men were poor and unless they could be
reimbursed in this way, great hard
ship would be inflicted on them. Mr.
Abbott, the chairman of the committee
on claims, made a lengthy statement
in favor of paying them on sentimental
grounds. On the motion being made

GEN. BENDS LETTER.
Copy of the Communication That

The letter of Gen Bend to which repeated
reference was made in the house Of repre-
sentatives Thursday night in connection with
several claim cases, is here reproduced. 1t
is claimed that Bend has taken an unwar-
rantable position regarding several claims
against the state by members of the national
guard and others; and that several Of them
have been favorably acted on in spite of his
protests. The whole matter will be thor
oughly aired when the appropriation bin
comes up in the house. The letter, will

ST. Paul, Mimi. Feb. 49, 1S97-Dear Cap
tain: The four bills Of which l spoke to you
as deserving Observation-Disclosures are as fol-
lows:
BY Henry Johnston the relief Of Mrs.
Ward, s., 000 the grounds that her son
died from the effects Of fajuries received in
camp last summer. Ward belonged to Com
pany H, First infantry. Capt. Montfort did
not want him to go to camp as he had pull
monary trouble, and was not strong enough.
Ward begged to be allowed to go. and as a
favor to a sick man Capt Montfort yielded.
Ward was detailed for hospital duty, the east
est job in camp. 1t is claimed that he was
strained while on litter duty. Possibly he
was. but he died of consumption and would
have died OF it In any event.
By Henry Jehns-For the relief of one
Dillery $500 on the grounds that he was
kicked by a horse in 1880. The statute OF
limitations Will bar this. and Dillery may
have been injured dozen times since 1890.
BY Representative Muuger-H. F. No. ST.
for the relief Of j. W. North field $685.. 80.
This furnished. meat to the contractor
who subsisted the men in camp last summer.
The contractor was paid in full. We never
heard of Mortified. He has no claim, legal,
equitable or moral on the state.
BY Bill for the relief of one
Hillman, $500. This man had a hand or
possibly an arm blown off some four years
ago by premature explosion. The legislature
gave him $1,000. He lost $1,000 of 1T by de-
posting it in a bank that failed and the
legislature gave him that also. Now he
wants $500 more. It is absurd. I am sorry
| do net know in which house this bill was
introduced. The national guard has no in
terest in any of the foregoing bills, and would
like to see them killed. Their passage would
enable our opponents to claim that we are
costing the state just that much additional
money. when. matter of fact. they are pri-
vate bills. / have written Mr.. Scott also
about it. Yours truly w. d. Bend

Dangerous Use OF
Strong PI|||RGAnV[S.

Pills and purgatiyes which act
quickly upon the bowels, irritate
and destroy the mucous Innings
of the stomach and bowels. A
continued use of such remedies
infames the stomach and bowels.
The use of the genuine imported
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt is highly
recommended because its action
is due solely to its solvent and
stimulating properties, without
irritating the stomach. Best re-
suits are obtained when out door
exercise canbe had. Obtain the
genuine imported article only.

ABSOLUTE NECESSITY.
Progressive States Cannot DO without
Good Roads Much Longer.

Good Roads Much Longer.
At the meeting of the Farmers ,Ns
tional congress, held in indianapolis.
Mr.. Domer. of Wisconsin, spoke on the
necessity Of good roads. A part OF
what he said follows: Good roads have
paid for themselves in Europe; they
have paid for themselves in New Jer-
sey: they have paid for themselves in
North Carolina and in Alabama; they
have paid for themselves in Massachu-
sets and New York; they have paid for
themselves wherever they have been
properly and economically built and
properly taken care of. Gentlemen
who have made a study of the subject,
including the chief of the bureau OF
road inquiry at Washington, have told
us as a result of their Investigations
that it costs our farmers on an average
little over three dollars per ton To
market their product. This three dol
lars per ton of course is not necessarily
money expended, but is the value in
dollars and cents of the time, labor
and effort on the part of man and beast
in travelling with load of crops from
the farm to the market. These gentle
men tell us further that fully two
thirds of this three dollars per ton
might be saved by the construction OF
good roads. You see this amounts to
great deal, and | will give you little
example from my own state of Wiscon-
sin as an illustration. We raise in Wis
consin each year about 100000 tons OF
oats, 100000 tons of corn, and enough
wheat and barley TO make another
100000 tons, total of 100000 tons,
not TO mention other products, such rs
hay, potatoes. rye and tobacco, all of
which amount TO considera BILE. The cost
of marketing this at three dollars per
ton is Ss,25O,00O. Two-thrds of this is
S5.5OO,000. tremendous amount, which
might be saved in Wisconsin alone on
oats, corn, wheat and barley, and that
year after year.

DAIRY EXPERIMENTS.
Results of Recent Tests Conducted ut the
Indiana station.


If cream is to be secured by setting
milk, the best plan Will be to set the
milk in round tin cans, about IS inches
deep and eight inches in diameter. IL
the can is placed in ice water or cold
spring water, to the height of the milk
in the can, the conditions for cream
separation will be greatly improved,
especially if inside refrigerator or
dreamer. This method helps keep tho
milk at uniform temperature and en-
ables the cream to rise to best advan-
tage. Such cans as these, open at The
top, are commonly known as shot
gun" cans. and may be bought of dairy
supply houses or can be made by any
good timer.
These deep cans are skinned in one
of two ways-either by conicai skim
mer from the surface or by means OF a
faucet or valve nj the bottom of the can,
where the skim milk is drawn off. In
experiments at the Indiana station, in
comparing these two methods of skim
ming, where the milk was SKINNED
from above there was an average loss
about twice rs great as in that skinned
by drawing off from below. During Is
days in February the average loss from
surface Swimming was 0.34 per cent,
while that skinned from below
showed loss of but OH per cent

The Jasper weekly courier. [volume] (Jasper, Ind.) 1858-1922, 1897-02-12

Mr.. Eustis made the statement that
while the named rate in most of the
western states was three cents per mile,
The actual amount received l. consid-
erably less than that sum. This is due
to the fact that the railroad having a
long line betw cen two points cannot
charge more than the rate fixed by a
road having shorter line, and to eX-
cursion rates demanded by the people.
All of which reduce the average rate
materially.
But the most surprising assertion
made by Mr. Eustis was that the west
ern roads, with possibly one or two in
dividual exceptions, carry passengers
at an actual loss. The ST. Louis. Keo-
kuk q Northwestern was cited as an
instance. Mr.. Eustis produced state
ment of the expense on that road to
show that the cost per passenger pei
mile exceeded three cents, the Legal
rate.
The report of the interstate com
merce commission referring TO the rail
roads of Illinois. Iowa, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and that part of the Dakotas
and Missouri lying east of the Missouri
river shows that il cost he railroads two
and three-one-t housandths cents pei
mile tocarry passengers exclusive Of any
charge for taxes, rents. interest on
mortgages and other items of the kind.
Mr.. Eustis declared that two-cent fls I
rate in NJ issouri would reduce the aver
age to one and three-quarters cents il
not lower.
II was shown that lower rates do not
largely increase traffic. and instances
were cited where reductions from fouI
cents and three and one-half cents to
tnree cents per mile did not result in in
creased travel.
Answering the question as to wheth-
er or not rates in Europe were not low
or than in this country, Mr.. Eustis
showed that while the third-class rate
on some European lines is lower, the
second-class rates. which are paid by
the great travelling public. are higher
than American rates. The conveniences
of second and third-class travel in Eu-
rope are not 70 be compared with those
IF America in point of comfort and con
venience
