Temporarily Abandoned.

1t is believed that Fort Smelling will
be temporarily abandoned after the
Third infantry leaves it for Manila.
The regiment will be off some time this
month, it is expected. The matter of
abandoning this fort, together with
those at jefferson Barracks, Mo-, Fort
Columbus, Ohio, and Fort Crook, Neb.,
has been under consideration for some
time by the war department and it is
understood to have been favorably
acted upon. The only reason which
can be assigned is that it is Uncle
Sans desire to keep his soldiers near
the seacoast. With the expansion of
the territory of the United States it
will be necessary to employ many reg
ulars. To have them at hand, it will
be good plan to keep them near the
coast, so that in times of need they can
hurriedly depart for the colonies.

Indians Go East.

Indian Commissioner Jones directed
Agent Sutherland at White Earth to
have five Indians each from White
Earth, Leech Lake and Red Lake
bands, and three Mile Laos Indians
prepare for a trip to Washington. The
secretary will undoubtedly grant the
necessary authority and the delegation
should start soon. It is said that the
principal object of the Indians going
to Washington at this time is to urge
a change in the law requiring the esti-
nation of their timber before it is sold.
They want the Menominee system es-
tablished, and will try to impress the
secretary with the fact that a majority
of the Chippewas are opposed to the
continuance of the present system. 1t
is also said that they will have con-
ference with Land Commissioner Her
mann relative to dead and down tim
Der operations.

CURED in the Dovetail Shoe Packing
Box factory, resulting in the instant
death of an employee, Joseph Pocker,
aged II years, and serious injury to
Gudor Haugh. The machinery was
running at its usual rapid speed, when
it was discovered that a belt needed
repairs. Without stopping the revolv-

the defect and Poker went to his as
sistance. This pulley, located three
feet from the ceiling, ran at the speed
of eighteen revolutions second. Hav-

Poker reached for the belt near the
pulley when the sleeve of his garment

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Fish and Game Report.

In its biennial report to the governor
the state board of game and fish COM
missioners makes an extensive review
of the conditions that prevailed during
the past two years and recommends
some changes in the game laws that
will serve further to protect the fish
and game in the state. It is cited that
public sentiment-without which no
law can be enforced-has grown large
ly in favor OF affording additional pro-
lection, and the citizens of the state
have seemed to realize the Importance
and value of this bountiful gift of ma
ture.
The legislature is asked to do moth
ing that will impair the efficiency of
the laws now on the statute books, but
to endeavor to strengthen them wher-
ever they may seem weak. 1t is en-
phasized that the game laws have been
sustained in every instance, that all
the thirty-four important cases have
been won for the state. The sugges-
tions made for improvement in the
laws are absolute prohibition of all
spring shooting; a license of $35 for
nonresident hunters and nominal
license for Minnesota hunters; the en-
tire prohibition of nets in the Missis-
sippi river; the purchase of the land
on which the fish hatchery stands and
the construction of car especially for
the distribution, and the enlargement
of the Itasca state park.

Money for Dams.

If the appropriation of 1897, 357 asked
for Minneapolis and ST. Paul lock and
dam No. 2 is granted by congress in
the short session, the work on the
Meeker island Golfer dam and the lock
will be completed by next winter, be-
fore the freeze comes. Work on the
dam proper will then be pushed
through the winter. It is thought
that the lock and dam will be com
pleted by 1900. When congress con-
venes for the long session, twill prob
ably be asked to appropriate another
$500, 900 for lock and dam No. 1, which
will be more expensive than the one
now building. There is every indica-
ton, however, that both dams will be
completed within the estimated cost of
81, 500, 900.
The Rosebrock building at Ovation
ma, occupied by the Salvation army,
and two adjoining buildings were de-
stroyed by fire.
Minneapolis bank clearings for 1898
have broken all previous records. The
figures for 1898 foot up to $500, 600, 900,
against S414, 600, 900 for 1897. This ex-
ceeds the largest previous year by $780,
600, 900.
The number of deaths in Winona for
the year 1898 was 25s Among the
number dying were two who had COM
pleted century, Mrs. Frederick Behr,
aged 100 years and 30 days, and Joseph

blood disorders that other remedies fail to
benefit. In chronic cases it rarely fails, and
it cures whenever cure is possible.

STATE RAILROAD AND WAREHOUSE
COMMISSION

-, The report Of the state railroad and
warehouse commission will be laid before
you: No new legislation is needed on
mat subject, except that the record made
before the commission on hearing should
be made to constitute the record on ap-
peal. The present practice of trying the
case de novo in the district court is use
less and expensive. and by it's delays
tends to defeat the ends of the law.

COMPANIES in the state should be placed
under the jurisdiction of the commission.

gard to other common carriers.
An annual appropriation for expenses
OF at least 5000 Should be made to en-
able the, commission to carry on its i'm
portant work efficiently
The criticism which the commission has
been subjected to in connection with the
grain inspection department relates to adj
lnlnlStration and cannot be discussed with
profit on this occasion. No new legisla-
zion is deemed necessary on this sub
ject.

ton of the material. it seems to me that
its publication should not be deferred any
longer. By having it done under the d.
rection of a joint, committee of the two

inpeded them from ordering anew which has
resulted in positive injury TO the income Of the
