Find a New Home.

For the purpose ofinducing immigra-
ton and of giving those desiring to a
chance to 90 into the northwest to look
up new homes, the Northern Paclhc
railway has reduced rates to nearly all
points in its territory west OF A1tkln
and Little Falls Minnesota. This re-
duction amounts to about one-h< the
normal first-class rates on both one way
and round trip tickets. Round trip
tickets have limit of 81 days and are
good for stopovers; one way tickets are
good for continuous passage only, eX-
cept that limited stopovers will be al
lowed at and west of Spokane on tickets
to certain north Pacific coast points.
This gives those who want to go west
a splendid opportunity to visit Mime.

House Refuses to Agree to
the Changes Made in the

ST. PAUL, April Is. - The senate
| passed the Barker insane asylum bill,
providing for hospitals at Anoka and
Hastings, after slight opposition. An
amendment by Senator Somerville to
prevent the commitment of others than
chronic insane was defeated-35 to "a.
A somewhat similar amendment by
Senator Knatvold was also voted down
and the bill was then passed as received
from the house by a vote of 80 to IS.
S. F. 40, the Thompson bill for the
cottage or colony plan, was again laid
on the table on motion of the author.
The Wheaton malicious mischief bill,
which provided heavy penalties for rid
ing anothers bicycle or injuring it in
any way, was indefinitely postponed on
motion of Senator Horton. His five
sixths jury bill went the same way.
The Heimerdinger anti-blacklist bill
was indefinitely postponed Oh motion of
Senator Ryder, who said he thought it
impracticable as drawn.
Want Young's Criticism Expunged.
Senator Sheehan, by permission of
the governor, presented concurrent
resolution relating to the order of Cen
eral Young rejecting upon the officers
of the Fifteenth Minnesota and the re-
fusal of the war department to afford
the volunteer officers of the regiment an
opportunity to vindicate themselves.
The resolution requests that that por-
ton of general orders No. % be ex-
plunged from the records of the war de-
partment.
Senator Stockwell's bill, providing for
detention hospitals in Minneapolis, st.
Paul and Duluth, was passed without
any great opposition.
The Argetsinger school bill was
passed after being amended to conform
with the measure passed by the house.
An amendment increasing the appropri-
alton for graded schools from $500 to
$500 was defeated.
Anti Boycott Bill Fixed Up.
Senator Baldwin offered an amend
ment to the anti-boycott bill so that it
would only prohibit the enforcement Of
boycott by espionage pickets, circulars
or advertisement, SO as not to prohibit
the determination of one or two people,
or more, on their own part not to pat.
1onize certain firm or firms. Senator
Stockwell moved that the bill be indefi-
nitely postponed. Senator Daugherty
said the bill was compromise between
both sides and he was willing to fight it
through. Senator Stockwelrs motion
was lost and the bill recommended to
pass.
McGowan's bill to mark convict-mads
goods was indefinitely postponed.
The inspection on the hoof" bill was
again indefinitely postponed.

ELECTRIC WIRE.
Starts a Blaze in the Hubbard
Mill Office.
Fire and Smoke Causes Extensive Dam.
age...Night Waterman KOke's
Prompt Work.

The Office of the Hubbard mill and
their contents were damaged by fire
and smokeSunday night to the exte mt of
possibly $4,000, covered by insurance.
Night Waterman VIM. Koke was go
ing his rounds as usual at the Hubbard
mill that night, and at 11:30 o'clock
thought that he smelled smoke. He
made an investigation but could not
discover anything wrong. Half an hour
later he saw the reflection of light in
the office windows, and could see that
there was blaze in small inner room.
where stationery and files were stored.
He hastily notified the engineer to give
the alarm and start up the fire pump,
and then ran back and got the hose in
the warehouse down and broke in the
door leading from the warehouse to the
room where he had seen the fire. A
burst of flame and smoke greeted him,
but he pluckily stood his ground and
with the fire hose in the warehouse
practically had the flames extinguished
by the time that the fire department ar
rived in response to an alarm from box
%. The fire department broke in the
office door and sent in stream into the
room where the fire started. and soon
every vestige of fire was extinguished
1t is surmised that the fire started
from an electric wire No one had
been in the office since Saturday after
noon, and no light was burning in the
storage room where the fire broke out,
but current was running through the
wire. The wire was a new one and
seemed to be we'll insulated. but evil
IDENTIFY had some defect.
Mr.. Hubbard estimates the damage
from the fire and smoke at $4,000,
covered by insurance, which is largely
millers' mutual insurance. The COM
panies interested are represented by
Theodore Williams, D. L. Rose and Z.
A. Chapman. 1t is expected that ad-
iusters will soon get to work.
While many records were destroyed
and many others scorched and smoked,
nothing of immediate value OF this kind
was destroyed. The desks, woodwork
and walls of the offices are scorched and
smoked to such an extent that expen-
sive repairs will be required to put
them back to where they were. The
,,,, olxo ,,,os tbiol and the heat intense,
Window glass was broken and varn1sh
on the woodwork was blistered some
distance from the fire. Smoke worked
it's way through the desks and even in
to the inner drawer.
1t was close call for the warehouse,
although it is not thought that the
mill was in any special danger, as
twenty-inch fire wall with double iron
doors separates the warehouse from the
mill proper.

House Hesitates About Accepting Omni.
bus Bill Amendments.
The house disposed of the calendar Of
IS bills at the afternoon session, - of
the measures passing. On general or
ders, which contained Sc bills, 6 were
advanced to the calendar and indefi-
nitely postponed.
The omnibus appropriation bill was
returned to the house from the senate
with additional appropriations amount
ing to $67, 900 added to the figures as
passed by the house.
Mr.. jacobson of Lac qui Parle in
sisted that the house not concur, and
Mr.. Yale of Winona moved as a substi-
tute that the bill with the senate
amendments be passed. Jacobson's
motion was carried and Messrs. Jacob
son, Yale and Wallace were appointed
by the speaker as the conference COM
mittee.
Antitrust Bill Debated.
The antitrust bill was before the
house as a special order, but final action
was deferred until lengthy amend
ment by Mr.. Dwinnell could be printed.
The amendment is virtually new bill.
Mr.. Dwinnell, in speaking on the meas
ure, said the original bill was too
sweeping. 1t involved any labor organ
ization which formed com bination; it
involved even dairy associations formed
to maintain prices on butter and cream.
In fact it involved a hundred useful do
nestle organizations formed to main
tain prices. This, Mr.. Dwinnel in
sisted, was far too radical, and said that
that was one of the reasons the present
antitrust bill, which had been on the
books since 1891, had never been en-
forced.
The house passed the bill by Mr..
Bush, cutting down the fees for inspect
ing oil in tanks from Is to cents. The
vote by which the bill was passed was
70 to 16.
Bills Passed in the House.
Appropriating $50, 900 for the purpose
