Now that the session is ended, it is an
opportune time to call attention to the
conspicuously faithful and efficient SER
vice of one member of the House of Del
egates. Reference is made to Mr. w. l..
Mansfield, of Wayne county, who filed
the difficult and thankless position of
chairman of the House Committee on
Taxation and Finance. Under circum-
stances which would have discouraged
a less energetic or persistent man, Mr..
Mansfield prepored d general appropria-
ton bill which was satisfactory to the
House. When it appeared impossible for
the House and Senate conferees to reach
IN amicable compromise agreement. it
was the wise counsel and even temper
of Mr.. Mansfield which made such a con-
dtiOn of affairs possible, and removed
the necessity for a more protracted ex-
tension or an extra session. He was thor
oughly familiar with the provisions OF
both Senate and House appropriation
bills and ready to give any information
desired. during the discussion on the
floor of the House. He always contended
for smaller appropriations than were
asked, and never yielded except under
pressure of majority opposition. In the
opinion of many Democratic members.
the eminent business qualifications of
Mr.. Mansfield, his sterling integrity and
long party service, make him one Of the
most available men in the State for the
Democratic nomination for Auditor in
1860

Apropos of the subject of clerks, John
Harris, the very efficient chief at the
desk in the Senate, favors revision OF
the present law providing for the cler-
ical forces in both branches. He argues
that the growth of business has neces-
STATED an increase in the number OF
assistant and committee clerks. and
that both the House and Senate are in
a measure justified in the appointment
of additional clerks by resolution.
Nevertheless, there are always incom-
petent men who are selected in that
manner, without regard to fitness, their
positions being the reward Of party
service. 1t so happens that several
clerkships are mere sinecures and the
burden of the work falls upon the com
petent men. This is an injustice to the
p4eient clerks, as well as to the tax
favor a bill to give stated salary tC
the clerk of the House, and clerk of the
Senate, and to specifically describe the
duties and compensations of assistant
and committee clerks. Mr.. Harris also
favors a stated salary to Delegates and
Senators, but that is incidental TO the
matter in which he is directly inter-
ested. There would unquestionably be
merit in such a REIMBURSEMENT of the
law as he proposes, as it will be readily
seen that it would greatly facilitate
the transaction of business. Whether
or not the law will be so amended, de-
ponds upon the disposition of the next
Legislature with reference to the sub
ordination of party expediency to bus
mess methods.

AT this hour the physicians were making
constant use of oxygen. Their demeanor
indicated a most critical stage of the dis
ease. Mr.. Kipling was delirious as the
above bulletin was issued
Neither Dr. Janeway nor DR.. Durham

At 10:0 O'Clock tonight the following
bulletin was issued:
Mr.. Kiplings condition remains the
same as at last report.
'JANEWAY and DUNHAM."
1t was said at that hour that Mr.. Kip
ling was very low and unconscious.
The bulletin at 1920 o'clock last night
was the latest authentic news from the
sick room. There were the usual rumors
about the hotel, some perhaps founded in
part upon the actual condition Of the
patient, but it was hard to gather even a
small quantity Of hope from them 1t Is
no exaggerauon to say that at 2 O'Clock
this morning all were prepared for the
worst.
DR.. Janeway and Dr. Durham were with
the patient at that hour, and had been
almost continuously throughout the night.

HIS BEDSIDE-THE VARIOUS
BULLETINS SENT OUT FROM
THE SICK ROOM DURING THE
DAY AND EVENING:

New York, February 26.There was a
general impression about the Hotel
Grenoble at five o'clock this afternoon
that Mr.. Kipling's condition was worse
than at any time since he became i'll.
DR.. Janeway arrived at the hotel at
3: 80 D. M, and as he was not expected
until later in the afternoon it looked
as if there had been a sudden change
for the worse and that the physician
had been called. He remained in the
hotel until Ais and then left, return
ing in half an hour. Almost at the
to the hotel and taken up to the Kip
ling apartments on the first floor That
the oxygen was to be administered was
practically admitted by DR.. Janeway.
This is heroic treatment and is resort
ed to only in extreme cases. Both DR..
Janeway and DR.. Durham were with
Mr.. Kipling alternately through last
night and both were in attendance on
him early in the morning. At $50
o'clock this morning the following bull
letin was issued:
"Rudyard Kipling remains in a criti-
| cal condition. The disease continues -
(Signed),
''E. J. JANEWAY, NJ. D.
THEODORE DUNHAM, NJ D."
Soon after 10 o'clock Dr. Janeway,
Jr., son of DR.. E. G. Janeway, was also
called in consultation concerning the
critical condition of Mr.. Kipling.

Refused a Franchise.

G. M. Hertig, who owns the st.
Cloud street car railway line, applied
some time ago to the city council OF
that city, for a franchise to erect a
light, power and heating plant. He
proposed to provide competition in
private and public lighting and pow.
er. The matter came up for a deci.
sion before the council Friday night,
and by nearly a unanimous vote the
franchise was refused. Mr.. Hertie
made his own argument before the
council, and was somewhat surprised
that he was not granted the privi.
lege asked. D. Il. Calhoun repre-.
sented the company now furnishing
light and power to the citizens,
and he made an argument against
a second franchise being given
He claimed that one company would
furnish cheaper service than two
and that if there were two com.
.panies competing for public bus mess
the companies were apt to get
mixed up in city politics.
The fear of this was so strong that
nearly all the aldermen voted against
a second company.

Anoka Herald: Democrats are

Anoka Herald: Democrats are
always inconsistent. Three years
ago they switched from the cry of
too high prices for the necessities
of life to dollar wheat and high
prices for all products Of the farm
or labor. Now they are back on
the old calamity howl-prlces are
so high they are oppressive. And
to add to the inconsistency, they
are g.ing to keep the free silver
plank in their platform, although
the only alluring argument in
favor of silver is that it will raise
the tprice Of commodities. Any
other party would be chagrined if
called upon to explain such con-
glomerate platform, but not SO
with the Democratic-it would be
embarrassed if it should discover
any logic in it's principles.

Authorities generally agree that
the wheat crop of the United
States will be smaller this year
than last, and the estimate for
this season is not far from $50, :
100000 bushels, about equally d.
vided between winter and sprlng.
In 1898 the crop was about 675,.
600, 900. The exports for the past
twelve months have been about
the same as for the previous year,
but the price has averaged nearly
90 cents less per busbel. But the
amount remaining in farmers
hands is now large, while year
ago it was very small. Receipts
are now five times as great as last
year, as the high prices of Marc h
and April, 1898, called out all the
wheat the farmers desired to sell,
and when the decrease came there
was very little sold in: June. The
wheat crop Of the world will be
considerably less this year than
last.

Wife Sues For a Divorce and
the Husband For Alienation
of Affection.

ST.. CLOUD, Mimi, June N.-Lizzie
NJ. Rice, whose husband is an agent
at Walker for the Great Northern
railway, some time ago brought an
action for divorce. 1t is alleged that
he spent two years in the Klondike,
prospecting, and as she had money
in her own name, she staked him.
His return empty-handed and other
causes, which the wife deems sufh-
cent, are the alleged grounds for the
action. Now George E. Rice has
brought a counter action against his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Hattie Schwab,
of this city, we'll known, estimable
and wealthy lady, for $25,0oO DAM
ages, alleging that all matrimonial
difficulties are due to her interference.
The suit has been brought in Sher-
burne county, and Rice names five
sufficient charges upon which he
hopes for a verdict. Mrs. Schwab
recently came here from Clear Lake
to give her daughter and son a mu-
steal education. She and her son own
the Bank of Clear Lake. Rice has a.
brother here and it appear that the
Walker man is not without friends.
