WANT NO CHANGE,
Residents of School District 20 OPP
posed to Annexation.

The county commissioners were in
session for four hours and a half yes
terday, but no business Of great inn
portance was considered and but a few
matters were disposed of. Such time
as was not spent in haggling over the
routine bills was largely devoted to
listening to the protests of people re-
siding in School District No. 20 against
the granting of a petition from Dis
trict 81, cutting off a portion of that
district and anneXing it to District No.
20. The residents Of District 20 in
sisted that such an action would in
crease the school tax of their district
and that there was no occasion for the
change.
Mr.. Boyd. of District 81, said that
the other districts had taken scholars
from 20 right along, and that there were
only four or five people in 20 who had
not signed the petition.
The majority of the score or more
residents present from both districts
opposed any immediate action by the
board, and urged postponement of the
matter, and after a few exchanges Of
repartee between Mr.. Boyd and Com
missioner McCarron the board laid the
matter over for month
A second communication from Julia
Akers, matron of the Jail, relative to
the "a salary due her for her services
January, was received. The matron
Informed the board that ex-Sheriff
Chapel, to whom the claim had been
referred at a previous meeting, had
paid no attention to it. The secretary
was directed to write to Mr.. Chapef
regarding the matter.
John M. Geary submitted for the con-
sideration of the board a proposition
to heat and light the Jail for the sum Of
$500 year. The present cost of light
ing the jail is $53 a month.
The bond Of County. Assessor Seng.
in the sum of $4,000, with William
Seng and David Hanna as sureties, was
accepted
There was a controversy between the
official paper and the county auditor
over the number Of times the paper
was Obliged to publish the auditors an
nual statement. The official paper
contended that the law required three
publications, whereas the county audi
tor has instructed the official paper to
publish the statement only once.
County Attorney Anderson sustained
the position taken by the official paper
but the representatives of the latter
agreed to comply with the letter of the
law by publishing the statement three
times but would charge the county for
only two publications.

a great wrong to the people who had
to buy school books. Small fry book
agents would be constantly endeayor-
ing to convince teachers Of the neces-
sity for changing books. It would de-
stroy uniformity in the counties of the
state and be a calamity to the cause OF
education. He read a number Of letters
from county superintendent opposing
the bill.
Senator Cullxin said the Wabasha
senator was making a mountain out
Of a mole hill. He had a number of
letters from educational experts in
favor of the bill. The senate voted, on
a division for the reconsideration,
and placed the bill ON general orders.
Senator French introduced a resolu
ton to direct the committees to report
all bills this week. Senator Stebbins
gave notice of debate, and the resolu
ton went over.
Senator Sweningsen asked that s. T.
GAL, to pay county commissioners for
time actually spent in repairs of roads
and bridges, be passed under suspen-
sion Of the rules. It was objected to,
however, by Senator Culkin, and the
bill was referred to the senators named.
They agreed upon an amendment, and
the bill was finally passed.

BESIDES the good men in the legislature there

we say, look after your legislators.
To get even for this move. Mr.. Gill
bertson sent up copy of the liquor
mems paper In which similar organiza-
ton and work were urged upon those
who are interested in the maintenance
of the liquor traffic. So the two sides
played even.
There were several more attempts to
change the bill, and one section was
stricken out and subsequently restored
upon motion Of Mr.. Davies
After the friends of the bill had
amended it to their satisfaction the
motion Of Mr.. Foell to recommend the
bill for indefinite postponement was
adopted by a vote of 46 to 80. Upon

with embezzling $27 600 Of the company's

says he will plead guilty and throw himself
on the mercy Of the court.
Aldrichs stealings have been carried on
for eight years. The company does not know
exactly how much he Is short, but it is
understood that $27, 900 is the amount. An

employe Of the road. He handled thousands
of dollars every week, and kept all his own
books. An examination Of his books about
ten days ago disclosed the shortage. The
American Surety company, which held his
bonds to the amount Of $4,000, decided this
afternoon to make the arrest, after a fruit
less endeavor by friends to make good the
shortage. Aldrich was waiting in his law

penitence for the wrong he had done, and
said he expected to be punished. He attrib-
uted his downfall to his inordinate desire TO
shine in society. Aldrichs home Is said to
be mortgaged for all 1t is worth and he is
penniless.

WANTS THE TESTIMONY.
County Attorney Asks for What He
Doesn't See.

The county attorney of Ramsey county
has applied for the testimony given before
the committee which investigated the 1nsol-
vent state banks and resolution was intro
duced in the house during the morning by
Mr.. Feig to authorize the chief clerk, in whose
possession the precious documentary evidence
now is. to turn the same oyer to that prosecut-
ing officer and also to the county attorney OF
Hennepin.
Representative Barta, himself lawyer, and
presumably up to the possibilities of sharp
practice, moved to amend by providing that
the chief clerk should not permit the original
to go out of his hands, but should furnish
copies Of the testimony, upon application by
the attorneys named. Mr.. Feig gave notice
of debate upon his own resolution and win
move to amend it tomorrow,
The committee took this testimony In secret
session and refused to give it to the general
public. Mr.. Feig ventured the information that
If the testimony were published there were
ex-bank officials in the two cities today who
would make themselves scarce, and thus de-
feat the ends Of justice. There has been no
application from Minneapolis for the evidence
so far. 80

IF HE SHOULD GET HIS WISH

The poet sings In measures sweet,
With touch Of memory's woe,
How much he longs once more to greet
The girl Of long ago.
But ten to one, If fate should bring
Them face to face again,
He'd shine up to her daughter, for
That is the way with men.

ELEVATOR BOND BILL KILLED.
Said to Be in Interest Of the Large
Companies.

Mr.. Abbott's bill to require elevator com
panies and wheat buyers to give bond Of
1000 or more before they can engage in the
storage and shipment of wheat was indefinite
ly postponed after a struggle by its author.
The bill was advocated upon the theory that
there have been many cases in the history Of
the state, some of whiefsiWere cited by Mr.
Abbott in which farmers,.weEe defrauded out
same in elevators or selling to dishonest
wheat buyers The bill Was opposed by Mr..
Foss, who said the bill was really in the in
terest Of the big elevator companies, as there
was a provision for a maximum bond of $780,
600 which might cover 500 or ], 600 elevators.
Mr.. Cray also opposed the bill, as did the
Duluth members and it was killed without

Distance Tariff Again.

The Douglas distance tariff bill comes up
in the house this morning a special order
for the last act in the lower body, and it is
safe to predict that the bill will be the
subject of a hard-fought struggle. The
friends of the bill and the railroad companies
have been losing no time, and the battle,
which promises to consume the greater part
OF the day, will be closely contested.

The Faults and FoIies of the Age

Are numerous, but of the latter none is more
ridiculous than the promiscuous and random
use of laxative pills and other drastic cathar-
tics. These wrench eonvulse and weaken
both the stomach and the bowels. If Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters be used instead of these
no-remedies the result is accomplished with
out pain and with great benefit to the bowels
the stomach and the liver. Use this remedy
when constipation manifests itself, and there
by prevent it from becoming chronic.

The promoters of the Feig peddlers' license

that they have enough votes to force that bill
through the senate, even under suspension Of
the rules. and it is difficult to how a
sharp fight can be averted this morning when
the house Of lords comes to the first reading
of the bills received from the house. Mike
Bowling brought the bill in yesterday, en-
tirely unaware Of how much dynamite he
had on his arm, but there promsises to be an
explosion that will be heard all the way
from the senate chamber to the solemn re-
cesses where Gov. CIough and Tams get to-
gether running the state. Gov. Clough
vetoed the last peddlers' bill that was passed
and some critics were unkind enough to say
that it was because the Third ward in Min
neapohs. where a lot of them live, was dis
Greet enough to give the present governor a
large majority. The country members seem
to have got together pretty solidly the
bill. which they say is demanded a meas

farmers, not to mention the evil effect which
the peddling business has on the regular mer-
chants engaged in the rural districts. They
