Cuts in Wages.

Wages should not be cut excepting
as the very last resort. The very fact
that wages are being cut has a de-
pressing effect upon the market. 1t
informs the consumers of ore that
the ore producers are preparing for
lower price of their product, and
gives them excuse for asking that the
ore be sold to them for less money.
The way to do is for all the ore men
to insist upon living rate. If the
business proves that it will not COM
rnand the price asked. well enough,
but it is a bad practice to begin the
cutting of wages until ore prices have
been absolutely established. The
way to do is TO hang on until we know
where we are at. The cutting of pay
early in the season simply weakens
the position of che ore men in the

ClOugh VetOes 1t.

The peddler's license bill known as
81. f. lib, has been vetoed by Gov.
Clough. who says it was Objection
able because it is unwarranted exer-
else of power on the part of the legis-
lature." AS further reason, the
governor declares that the bill is
against public policy. The legislature
may provide police regulations, the
governor thinks, but when it assumes
to restrict by requiring license, the
right of citizen to enter any city or
village on private business, then the
proposition is different. The house
laid the bill on the governors refusal
till further notice.

Killed by Dynamite.

Daniel and Celecti Melchori, two
Austrians and Julian Matsold, lost
their lives week ago by the explo-
sion of dynamite at the Genoa mine
on the Mesaba. Nothing definite as
to the cause Of the accident other
than theory can be offered. 1t seems
from everything of circumstantial
bearing that the first named men
were about to light the fuse from a
stick of dynamite which they had
placed in hole they had drilled out,
intending to make it sufficiently big
to place large charge in. In their
lighting the fuse it is believed the
dynamite went off. One of the
Austrians who was doing the fuse
work had on his person several sticks
of dynamite all of which went off,
blowing its victim to shreds, and lay
ing the other two men out uncon-
scious. Both of the surviving victims
succumbed to the shock since.

Another Round Slated.

Hyde will have another round in the
courts probably the finish and wind
up, over the Hyde 49," part of sec
ton 30. The company wishes the
court to declare Thomas Hyde to have

This is considered to be preliminary
to the dispossessing of Hyde by eject

be a very interesting performance for
those personally engaged in the
matter as Mr.. Hyde positively asserts

sorrow.

Marriage Without License.

A request bin was presented by
Judge Hicks in the senate Saturday
which will prove of interest to those
who wish to get married and have not
the necessary with which to secure
license. The bill repeats those sec
tions of the present statute requiring
a marriage license. OF his bill Judge
Hicks said: 1.-The question of record
is easily met by the returns from
clergymen and magistrates, without
the license. The license often
amounts to burden. i would en-
courage union of the sexes. Often
couples are forced to travel long dis

Telegraph to Rainy Lake.

A movement is On foot at Tower
for the formation of a telegraph and
transportation company to connect
with the Rainy lake country. A well
attended meeting was held there last
week and W. Flint selected to pre-
pare map of the route and accom-
pany the Western Unios agent on
his trip to look over the selected
route. Many people are going to the
gold country and as the Tower route
is the most feasible. they are getting
the larger part of the travel. A
telegraph company will prove of great
advantage.

Bad for Little Producers,

Thomas Bardon, president of the
Pioneer Iron company while in Dull
nth last week expressed himself re-
garding the ore situation as follows:
II feel very sure the ore producers
association will be continued. There
has been a great deal of talk and there
has been some prospect that the as
ISOLATION would fall apart but my
opinion is that it will be continued.
/ look also for better prices and an
improved condition in the iron trade
generally. If the ore association
should go to pieces the small pro-
ducers would be shut out by the big
ones for prices would be demoralized
and they could not compete. The
furnace men might enjoy the situa'
tion but in the end, looking at general
results as affecting the country al
large as well as the people more direct
ly interested, / do not think the re-
suits would be as satisfactory as il
the association should be main.

How to Reapporticn.

The Joint subcommittee having in
charge the drafting Ola reapportion
ment bin, has about reached an
agreement, and it was stated Satur-
day by Chairman Ozmun that bill
will probably be presented in both
houses this week. While ali the
details are not yet complete and the
members decline to make any definite
statement, it is known that a bill has
already been drafted for consideration
by the full committee and it will be
the basis of the scheme which will be
presented to the legislature for ratiti-
cation or rejection.
On good authority itcan be stated
that the new bill will provide for a
legislature to consist Of SO or 60
senators and from lis to l6represent-
atives. The lower counties in the
state would lost but little while St.
Louis county, which is the greatest
sufferer by the present inequality,
the greatest change win occur, and it
will gain three senators and three or
four representatives. st. Louis
county, or what is now the fifty
fourth state senatorial district, will
be allowed, under the proposed plan,
three senators and six representatives.
At present it has one senator and
three representatives.
One of the members of the COM
mittee stated that the general basis
OF reapportionment would be upon an
allowance of about twenty-nine
Thousand Inhabitants TO each senat-
orial district. All the members OF
the committee are extremely reticent,
it being their opinion that the less
said about the measure before its in

would be likely to encounter when il
is before the legislature.

Frank Hill Says He Had Accompces in the
 Killing of Oates

Special to The Age-Herald.
 Montgomery, Sept. 9.-Information from Wadsworth says Frank Hill, the Autauga county farmer who last week fired a load of buckshot from ambush into the body of s. s. oates, a nsigh- bor, as he drove along the highway with his wife and children, has made a con fession in which he duplicates two oth- e. neighbors, the Brassell brothers. He says a conspiracy was formed among them to assassinats Oates, and that he was to fire the shot as Oates passed and if he should be arrested the Bras sell brothers were to prove an alibi for him. At the preliminary trial the Bras sell brothers did mot swear as Hill ex- pected, and this brought out the con- fession. Hill says when he saw Oates coming down the road with his family in the buggy his heart failed him and thereupon L. H. Brassell seized the gun and fired tha fatal shot and all fled. The Brassells are in jail and will have preliminary trials soon.
