TO REVISE TAX LAWS.
Important Bill Introduced by Sena-
tor Potter.

One Of the most important bills in
troduced yet this session was that
presented in the senate yesterday by
Senator Potter, of Hennepin, providing
for a commission to revise the tax laws
of the state, which are now sadly mud
died. The bill is generally in line with
the suggestions made by the county
auditors Of the state at their recent
meeting in this city, with the exception
that the commission consists Of five
persons who are instructed to present
their report to the senate on or before
March l. 1t will consider all laws re-
lating to assessments, sale of prop
erty for unpaid taxes, and all topics
pertaining to taxes at all.
The bill names Clayton R. Cooley,
ex-auditor of Hennepin county, ]. j.
McCardy, city comptroller, of ST Paul
Jerome E. Cooley, of ST. Louis county
member of the state board of equaliza-
ton, Frank Fink for twenty years
county auditor of Rice county. and
Richard Calvin. of Marshall county
who has served as auditor and treas
urer of that county for years, as the
members Of the commission 1t was
sent to the committee on taxes and
tax laws.

that the organizers OF such corps shall
not be regular fire underwriters. This
will, it is presumed, let the merchants
beard in.
Senator Potter also introduced bill
to provide for the organization of
domestic stock fire insurance COM
panies. It provides, in addition to the
provisions of the present law, that
local companies can, with a paid up
capital Of $4,000 or more, engage in
fire insurance business alone and in
this state only. Senator Potter says
that some Of the most prosperous COM
panies in other states are those which
confine themselves to the local field in
this way and under similar laws.

rULO AT DULUTH,
Northern Pacific Team Leaves Here
Tonight.

The Northern Pacific Polo team will
leave this evening for Duluth, where
they will play a series of games with
the Duluth team for the championship
of the state.
In all probability the first game will
be played Friday evening. the second
and third, Saturday afternoon and eve
ming respectively. The Northern Pa
cities were to have made this trip on
New Years day, but were forced to
postpone it on account of the soft
weather. Arrangements have bean
made with the Associated Press cor
respondent in Duluth, so that the ac-
count of all games will appear in the
local papers here Immediately following
the contests.
The team hoped to be able TO play in
Superior Sunday, but owing to the cru
SADIE against Sunday sports, they were
forced to- abandon the idea, The per-
sonnet of the team is as follows: New
SON and Macdonald, rushers; Barron
cover goal; Murphy, center; Ringwald
and Bryant, backs; Kieffer, goal; Nc
Main, substitute.

IN THE HOUSE.
Selection of Committees Made the
Day Interesting.

All uncertainty about the makeup
of the standing committees of the
house of representatives was dissipet-
ed yesterday morning when Speake r
Jones, who has so far recovered from
his indisposition as to be in his chair
again, handed down the list of the
names with the chairmen at the head.
AS predicted in the G | o b e there Wow
quite a number of surprises, but the
general comment in the house was that
the selection shows careful gconsidara
ton Of the needs of the various sec
tons Of the state, and the fitness of
the representatives. The list will be
found In another column. The balance

MARRIED ON THE QUIET.

Operator Gotto of the Western Union
Nobody supposed that Jos. Gotto. the
popular and efficient manager of the
Western Union office, was contemplat-
ing matrimony, but when an attractive
young lady stepped off the Omaha
train last Thursday and was greeted by
him in other than brotherly manner,
it began to look as if Joe was going to
get married and the trip to the court
house after the license confirmed the
suspicion. In company with one or
two friends MIR. Gotto and Miss Christina
Smart proceeded to the home OF Rev.
A. G. Stevens whore they were made
man and wife, the ceremony being per-
formed at o'clock. The bride is an
attractive and vivacious young lady
aud made the trip all the way from
Grafton, N. D., to consummate the
vows of matrimony. At Grafton she
was the manager of the Western Union
Office and is possessed Of business tai
ents. Mr.. Gotto has been in Mitchell
since last fall and by his close attention
to business in his office has won the
esteem OF the patrons of his office.
Mr. and Mrs. Gotto have taken apart
ments over Smith & Conyes' store for
the present. The REPUBLICAN ex-
tends hearty congratulations to the
young couple aad trusts their marriage
relations will be one long dream OF
happiness.

OBSERVANCE o OF PALM SUNDAY

The Last Sunday Before Easter is Observ-
ed at the Episcopal Church
For an ideal Palm Sunday the sun
should shine warm and bright, the
wind sto.u blow gently and nature
should oe clothed in her spring garb,
out the conditions which greeted Palm
Sunday were just the reverse and it re-
quired stretch of imagination to bring
into harmony the absent effects to
make the day appropriate for the oc-
casion. The interior of St. Mary's
church presented scene, however,
which bore the impress of Palm Sun
day to large degree. In the west end
of the church there was large num-
ber of palms whose branches spread
from one to the other and cut flow ers
were used to relieve the abundance OF
green. Rev. Mr.. Durant delivered a
very interesting sermon on the mean
ing OF the day, and some special music
was rendered at the service. In the
evening the rector spoke on Sund ay
observance, as per the request of the
national w. G. T. u, defining tho way
in which the Sabbath day was observed
by various classes of people and how it
should be spent. Miss Emily Bras
sang very pretty solo accompanied by

Ed. Amherst OFT Discourses Entertain
ing'y on Marriage Alliances.
People VINO were fortunate enough to
brave the elements to avlend the lee
ture last evening al Champeny's opera
bouse we're we'll repaid. Prof Ed.
Amherst Off, of the Drake school of
oratory, Des Moines, Iowa, was secured
by the University Y. M. G. A. to de-
liver his lecture on "Sour Grapes"
ard the close attention he secured from
his audience proved that his lecture
Was interesting. Concisely put the
idea CT his subject was to illustrate and
discuss the various phases Of heredity
and the effects of marriage alliances on
the human race. MIR. OFT picked up
many old problems of marriage and
heredity, presented them in new light
and applied remedies for the extingu
ishment of the evil which has been in
force from time inmemorial. The
story OF the individual who is thrown
upon the world possessing infrmities
of body or mind, which have been
handed down from one generation to
another, served as an apt illustration of
the evils of intermarriage, with per-
son Of the opposite sex who has lived
through the same difficulty, but who by
sheer force Of will lifts himself above
the plane wae thought full of en-
couragement. He took advanced
ground in his ideas Of marriage alli-
ances, believing that by education the
discrepancies in human nature, physi-
cal as we'll as moral, would eventually
be overcome, not in year, however,
but in the years to come the work COM
menced in the present age would make
a wonderful difference in the people
generations away. Prof. Otis lecture
is famous not only for the humorous
and dramatic element in it but because
it carries home to the heart some great
truths. He is a master OF the stage,
his delivery being almost above critic
ism and his style easy and graceful. 1t
is regretted that more people did not
avail themselves of the opportunity to
hear the gifted speaker.

Possibility That the Long Distance Tele-
phone Will be Extended to Mitchell.
Since the local company organized
here about two years ago for the pur-
pose Of establishing local telephone
line, and was abandoned later, nothing
has been done toward starting another
enterprise, but from information re-
ceived from outside sources it is very
likely that Mitchell will be connected
with the principal cities of the state by
a long distance telephone. This long
service starts from Sioux Falls and
radiates to many towns within dis
tance Of from 100 to 700 miles. The
work is being done by the Northwestern
Telephone Exchange Co.. whose head
qurrters are in Minneapolis. The COM
pany is making great preparations to
extend lines in various directions and
it is stated from reliable sources that
the company will have it's lines into
Mitchell during the summer. 1t is
understood that this company has sue.

county. 1t says: There has not been
train into Sphinx county for ten days,
and the floods exceed anything in the
history of this county. The water in
Jim river is eight feet higher than the
highest recorded water mark. The
river at Frankfort crossing is two miles
wide and running full OF ice. Not one
