FIVE CONGRESSMAN

For West Virginia Under the Re-
apportionment 10y congressman-at-
Large Suggestion is Opposed.
Third District Casts $4,000 More
Votes Than the First.
Whether the Hopkins reapportion-
rncnt bill, fixing the membership Of the
national house OF representatives at
$751;. as at present, passes, or another
Bill slightly increasing the membership
is successful, West Virginia Will get a
fifth congressman. The Hopkins bill
meets with general favor among con-
gressmen from states whose dalega-
lions are not reduced, but there Is vio-
lent opposition from Ohio, Virginia, In
diana, Kansas, Kentucky. Maine, Ne
braska, and South Carolina, each Of
which states would lose one representa-
tive. The aesirabllIty of not lncreas-
ing the membership. OF the house arises
from the fact that the hall OF represen-
tlves is already crowded. and increased
membership would surely mean capitol
alterations. Then too. the house is an
unwleldy. body already and there are
some who think Its membership should
be decreased.
The house committee on the census
has by a vote Of z to 8, agreed to report
the Hopkins bill favorably, but 1t will
not be taken up until after the holiday
recess. The following gives the present
representation and proposed represen-
tntion of each state:

ANOTHER REVOLUTION

Breaks Out in Venezueln-Nauonal
Asphalt Company Dispossessed Of
Property-Appeal to Our Country.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-The Tribune
prints the following.
A cable message received at the office
OF the National Asphalt Company from
Its agent in Venezuela, announced that
q revolution had broken out in that
country. No details were contained In
the message.3l 4
The revolution, 1t is said, is probably
the outcome OF an attempt on the part
Of the president and cabinet OF vene-
zucla TO deprive American corporations
OF their property and rights. e. n.
The National Asphalt Company will
be one OF the principal sufferers from
this. The company owns large con-,
cesslons and mining titles in the. state
Of Bermudez, Venezuela. The company
has been In actual posseasIon OF the
Bermudez Asphalt lake for twelve
years, and in this time 1t has founded
the village OF Guanaco, and erected
buildings, shops and o, railroad.
Several attempts have been made by
the. government Of Venezuela to cancel
the company's concessions, but these
attempts have always failed.
ALA o'clock on December 10, President
Castro personally told United States
Minister Loomis. al Caracas. that twc
government commissions had proved
the ,company,s right to It's property. At
s o'clock on the same day It Is alleged
the president seized the entire property
and divided 1t among others. 81
General Avery D. Andrews, vice pres
dent Of the company. has appealed to
the United states government for as
slstance.

give her five representatives on the ba-
sis OF the Hopkins bill. and not enough
to give six on the basis OF the other
bills which carry with them slight In
crease in the numerical strength OF the
house. One OF these bills raises the
number OF members to 377 and another
to 3S7. By all OF these bills Nebraska
loses a representative. owing to the

NEWS OF THE WORLD.
The "St. Paul Dispatch" Enter
prise Gives IL TO North
western Readers.

If anything had been lacking to
make perfect metropolitan newspaper
of the ST. Paul Dispatch, the want was
entirely filed when it completed ar
rangements for the special foreign
cable service which is now Frightening
its columns. 1t is really astonishing
how the recent war with Spain has de-
veloped the American thirst for the
news of the world. 1t placed America
In new position with regard to the
rest OF the earth and gave new impor-
tance to the events of the world at
large. If the movements of foreign
powers were once of interest they be-
came doubly so when America rose IN
to place as world power. The st.
Paul Dispatch recognized this when it
secured this cable service, with It's news
from first hands. No longer is London
the sole source of all European news,
and no longer is the news of the world
filtered through British channels and
tinted with English ideas. 1t comes
to the Dispatch straight from each
Eurorean center and without bias or
prejudice. This will be gratifying to
all intelligent people of the northwest,
particularly SO to that large foreign
born element which delights in infor-
nation direct from the fatherland.
The Dispatch has secured resident
correspondent in every large city on
earth, who uses both cable and mail
in sending in every news event of in
terest and all public gossip that is
dear to the heart of the newspaper
reader. In the past six years the
Dispatch has made great strides to the
front and is today recognized as the
greatest evening newspaper of the
Northwest.
The subscription price being SO low
it puts daily paper in reach of every
body. Send % cents for one months
trial subscription to st. Paul Daily
Dispatch, St. Paul Mimi.

Day Train 10 Aberdeen

The Aberdeen people have
been making an extraordinary
effort to secure a day train SER
vice east on the H. & d. line, and
from the following item from the
News of that city it would
, appear that they have accom-
plished their object:
Ex-Mayor d. McGlachlin and Fl. C.
/, Jewett, who were active in the work of
getting petitions for the running of
the day train between here and Mil
bank on the Milwaukee, are in receipt
OF letters from Manager FL. r. Will
Jams stating that the request of the
petitioners will be granted. In writ
ing on the subject, Mr.. Williams
says: 81 beg to acknowledge receipt
OF petition with your name at the
head of the list, asking for addition
al passenger train service between
Milbank and Aberdeen, and in reply
will say, that, while we feel that your
through train night service between
the James River valley and the twin
cities is excellent, we realize that the
opportunities for travelling from town
to town during the daytime between
Ortonville and Aberdeen, as we'll as
for visiting Big Stone Lake, are not
as good as we should like to have
them.
IF trains l and are run between
Milbank and Aberdeen it is doubtful
IT they would pay running expenses
during the summer season, and certain
that they will not during the winter
season. We propose, however, to
give the service a trial during the
summer, and on or before May lst we
will run trains l and to and from
Aberdeen. This service to continue
until about November 1st when the
trains will be taken Off for the winter.'

some Facts.


Zion s Herald, a New England
religious paper, is authority for
the following facts:
1t Is a Fact
That the saloon makes drunk
ards. "Since 1890 the number
of murders has doubled twice,
and last year there were 10000
in our country-nearly every one
of these committed by a rum
maniac ! Every saloon is a
standing declaration of intention
to infiict pain, injury, death, upon
the community.
1t Is a Fact
That no business but that of
drunkard making ever suffered
by the banishing Of the saloon
from a town.
It Is a Fact
That the liquor business would
go into bankruptcy if compelled
to pay for all the damage it brings
upon society.
It Is a Fact
That if this business cannot
afford to pay its own damages
out of it's enormous profits, no
town can hope to pay them out
OF that small share in the profits
called license or "blood money :
It Is a Fact
That they who plead that the
traffic must be licensed lest the
commonwealth be deprived of
the immense revenue, are
really urging that men be solicit
ed to squander so for drink in
order to put s. into the public
treasury.
It Is Fact
That the saloon only pays the
tax by robbing the public.
Hence they who cry 1--WE must
have the license money to help
US run our schools, are either
guilty of cruel rapacity or con-
victed of mental incapaclty.
It Is Fact
That prohibition prohibits!
Good temperance men, are
sometimes deluded and ready to
repeal Prohibition because it is
"ineffective' ''inferior to a good
license law That would be a
reason for liquor papers and
liquor dealers to work hard for
the establishment of Prohibition
But they never do.
It Is Fact
That license doesn't prohibit
1t is notorious that the license
laws of the country are not en-
/ forced. This is "read and knoWI
Of all men, save the officials
License cannot prohibit and does
not restrain, and is a failure as !;
temperance measure.
It Is a Fact
! That the saloon is the bitteres
and most pitiless enemy of hom'
and church. The Christian cal
never be satisfied short of tn
extirpation of a traffic SO antag
onistic to every interest Of tn
church of God.

A Thing Of Beauty Is II 10y
Forever.

One Of the prettiest and most
attractive window decorations we
have seen for a long time is the
display in the millinery depart
ment of the Stone & Sullivan
store. A large cross formed of
wreaths made Of flowers and
millinery trimmings on a white
back ground is the central piece
of the display, around which
was artistically arranged some
Of the latest and sweetest
designs in the millinery ar t.
When a display of this character
is gotten up with sufficient skill
to attract the attention of the
masculine portion Of humanity it
must indeed have some merit,
and the gentleman do stop to ad-
mire this window, while the
ladies themselves, simply can I
pass by without first shutting
their eyes. Miss Bitnor. an ex-
pert trimmer, has this very fine
stock of millinery and millinery
goods handsomely arranged and
the whole department presents
amost attractive appearance and
is well worth a visit Of inspec
ton. To a connoisseur in mil
linery this display Of handsome
shapes, beautiful flowers and
silks and trimmings in latest novel
ties must indeed seem like /
fairyland.
