A Humane Move.

A Humane Move.
The Minneapolis Humane Society,
with other similar organizations, is
much aroused over a bill introduced in
congress to amend the existing law
regarding the transportation of stock
The present law prohibits the carry
ing of livestock in the ordinary stock
cars more than twenty-eight hours
without unloading the animals and al
lowing them to feed. This law, of
course, does not apply to improved
cars in which the stock are fed and
watered regularly. The law has stood
for twenty years and has met the ap-
proval of all societies for the preven-
ton of cruelty to animals. The
amendment proposes to lengthen the
time limit to forty hours, and conse-
quently the humane society objects
to it's passage.
Contracts to be Let.
The state normal board will hold it's
next regular meeting at Winona. A.
T. Ankeny, president of the board,
says the most important business will
be to award the contract for the new
normal school building at Duluth. The
appropriation is $4,000 and SIX bids
out of eight received by the building
committee are under that amount. In
addition to the ordinary routine bust
ness, the members will carefully in
spect the school and it's buildings.
