The American people respect a
man who has done something
great for the good of mankind,
and the name of such a one soon
becomes a household word. The
name of DR.. Nicholas Sem was
no stranger to newspaper read
ers long before he was appointed
surgeon general in the army.
His work had won for him fame
and fortune; in fact, he left a
practice of not less than $40, 900
a year to accept a commission
at So, 900. This was patriotism
indeed.
Another physician known to
fame is DR.. ]. B. Murphy, of Chi
cago, inventor of the Murphy
Button, by means of which in
testinal connections may be
made and a union may follow
after an infected or ruptured in
testine has been taken out.
The city of Watertown is en-
pertaining a man whose work
has made him well known. DR..
Paul Walter, a specialist on the
eve and ear, has been made ia
nous by thenewspapers because
of what he has donein the inter
est of suffering humanity.
He claims the distinction of
being the first man to invent a
headache powder, and his form
ula is now used by some of the
best physicians in this country.
He also has patent on a nasal
inhaler that is worn while you
sleep. 1t has been in the crucial
caldron of test for nearly three
years and has proven a great
success in asthma, bronchial and
catarrhal diseases.
Skill in Operating
This remarkable man has a
natural bent toward operative
work. The eye and the ear are
his studies and he never Wearies
of the researches. He is never
happier than when exploring the
hidden cavities of the middle ear
by means Of the powerful cleo
trio lights and scopes he posses
ses and uses for making exami-
nations.
These instruments are Won
derful in their mechanism and in
the results they assist IN obtain
ing. They are Of great power,
and are still SO delicate that
they are, in the hands of such a
skilled operator as the special
list, the most safe.
Aged Lady Hears Again.
Many are the instances re-
corded of the wonderful, almost
miraculous results of DR.. Wal
ter's work, The restoration oil
hearing to people past the three
score and ten mark is a feat to
be proud of, and yet, Mrs. E.
M. Armstrong, wife Of the late
Governor Armstrong of Mime
sofa, was seventy-six years old,
and for sixteen years had been
debarred from social pleasures
because of deafness. Sermons,
plays, the voices Of her friends
and family, music and all the

ClauScn's Fatal Admissions I'm
der Republican H.
veStigatiOm.

Investigations report, by the Jacob
son committee, Jan, 1890. This was to
investigate specific charges that under
Cla,lScn the department OF grain i'll
spcctlon has become corrupt; that the
inspection has been conducted in the
interests Of the buyer as against the
shipper and producer; that grain would
be inspected in as No. 2 or 3, and in
spcctcd out as No /; that the dockagc
has been unreasonable, unjust and cx
ccssivc; that the department has chi
ployed incompetent and corrupt men
as inspectors
The report: We find from the evil
dcnce produced that the grading Of
wheat has not been uniform; that prior
to the montl, OF October, the new crop
OF wheat had not been graded solely
on its merits. it being the policy of tho
inspection department to give lower
grades than later.
That the system OF appeal from the
inspectors decision is impracticablc
ard Of little benefit
That it appears that some of the in
spcctors have been incompetent or care
less
That the weighing of the grain at
the terminals is carried on in Il loose
manner.
From the investigation had before
this committee, it clearly appears to this
committee that wheat inspections have
not been uniform throughout the year;
that the grading Of wheat has been
rigid during the first three or four
weeks Of each season, and less rigid
during the balance OF the year, and VIC
cannot in too strong language con-
denim this practice, as it must ncccs-
sarily result in GREAT LOSS TO
THE PRODUCER, FROM THE
FACT THAT A LARGE PROPOR-
TON OF THE CROP HAS BEEN
MARKETED BEFORE THE
CHANGE TAKES PLACE, AND
ON ALL WHEAT SOLD PRIOR
TO THAT TIME, THE LOSS
MUST NECESSARILY FALL ON
THE PRODUCER.

stand to meet the charge that early
in the season the inspection made by
your inspectors was very severe against
the producer, and that subsequently,
later in the season. somewhere about
the middle OF October, and from that
on, much more liberal grades were
given C!auscn's explanations were
not satisfactory to the committee of in
vcstigation, and contained such admis-
s;ons as these Opp 81, Appendix,

true to certain extent, but it is true

handled since the department started
in 1885.

on that; want to say here that the
tendency from the beginning OF the
year to the close is to press the grades
down, press them down, and in order
to have a little margin. one on which
we can carry our crop through on,

part OF eastern buyers, VIC start out

WEIGHMASTER'S REPORT
Unequallcd Records by Weigh
master Ed. O'Brien for
the Year Closed.

The following, from the weigl,mast-
er's report, rcfutes Republican charges.
OF gross mismanagcment:
"r1e total number of cars weighed
during the year was 2l4,4oo, and the
revenues accruing from all sources was
$53,oo3.5o. Covering the same period
the expense account was $53,o0o.23,
showing surplus OF $o2o.27. The total
number Of bushels of grain weighed
during the same period was I73,311,38o.
"A comparison OF last years figures
with the above will not be out OF place
here. Shortly after l came into this
office in 1899, the duty devolvcd upon
me OF furnishing you with the four
tccnth annual report In that state
mcnt it was shown that ZOE, 1893 cars
had been weighed and that the revenues
from all sources was $34,4S541 The
expense account for that year was $751;
4486S, indicating a deficiency OF $22,-
958.27. Total number of bushels OF
respects the showing thus made was
cheney was an unpleasant feature to
record.
Shortly after the beginning of the

cc;pts OF the department 1t was one
Of the necessities and though some
fault was found with this, the justice
Of it soon became apparent to all. The
board Of appeals, created by act Of
the last legislature, added from $4,000
to $4,000 to the expense OF the grain
department and this, if no other reason
existed, would have justified the ad
vance. Then, too, there is vast diff
ference between the car Of ten years
ago, or even five years and that of
today. The capacity OF the former
would not average but little over Goo
bushels, while the latter, built in these
times, will average from 200 to 300
bushels more. The thousand bushel
car of the present time is becoming
quite common. With these changed
conditions the weighing OF car Of

sonablc as it ever has been.

The year just closed, it is gratifying
to state, sees the department seli-sus-
tanning. The deficiency of almost
$4,000 i'll 1890 has been turned to
surplus, small though it be, OF 5000 Fl
i'll 1000.
Going back to the birth OF the de-
partncnt in 1885, but one year has cx-
ccllcd this in the number OF cars
weighed. That was the big crop ,rar
OF 1897. desire to say, too, that while
the number OF cars weighed during the
past year was 1907 more fnan during
the previous year, still the expense
account OF the department was less by
S4.26o.45. To be more explicit, the
year ending Aug. al, 1899, showed an
expense to the department Of $50, 339.oS,
while the year which closed Aug. 81.
1000, showed an expense OF $4,000 49,"
An example of the increased strict
ness and general efficiency achieved un-
der the present administration is shown
by the statistics OF the weighing de-
partmcnt. Minnesota export wheat is
weighed out at Duluth and weighed in
on arrival at Buffalo, the other end
OF the lake route. Comparison OF the
Duluth and Buffalo weights, therefore,
shows the accuracy of Minnesota grain
department officials in weighing. The
following table tells a significant story.
The loss in pounds per 1000 bushels
for the past seven crop years follows:

I.ind's new regime. The average loss
in six years of Republican administra-
ton was rs lbs, which is three times

This shows that the new broom sweeps

while being less heavy burden upon

The news from the east is that the

if not more, in which there are some

and preserving instead the liberty, the
order, the enforcement OF law, the
blessings of education, the security Oh

democrats must have, for once IN the
history of politics in this state, a real,
a thorough organization. mat I'M

mand a house to house V ana

men who are stayaways in elections,
and getting them to vote for a white

ability. Nothing short of this will be-
gin to do. Everything precious to civ
iliZation and good government de-
ponds upon the thoroughness of the
organization of the white men and the
yigor and delimination of the can

that can contribute to the success OF
a white mans government by the
adoption of the franchise amendment

THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Action to Secure Full Not,
Against the Porto Rico Bill.

Washington, April THE democrat
ic members of the house Of represen-
tatives held a caucus tonight to de-
termine upon plans in connection with
the approaching vote on the Porto Rico
bill. About ninety members were pres
ent, including Mr.. Richardson, tn
democratic fioor leader. and most Of
the other prominent figures on the
democratic side. The chief atteption
was given to the question of pairs, as
the vote is expected to be SO close tina
the result may depend upon the pairing
of members.
On motion of Mr.. Underwood, of Ala
bama, the democratic whip" the fol-
lowing resolutions We're adopted:
Resolved, That all democratic
members are urged TO return to Wash
ington at once.
That hereafter democratic members
will make no general or permanent
pairs.
That all pairs shall be made in writ
ing and shall be signed by one Of the
members designated by our party eau
Gus to arrange pairs"
MI. Richardson offered the following
resolutions which were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That as a party. We de-
clare our unalterable opposition to the
measure now pending before congress
entitled a Bill Temporarily to Pro
vide Revenues for the Relief of Porto
Rico and hereby enjoin upon every
democrat to be present in the house
of representatives. when the vote is
taken thereon and record his vote
against it."
Another resolution by Mr.. Under
wood was adopted asking democratic
members TO remain throughout the
Porto Rican debate and whenever rea-
sonabfy possible to remain until the
end of the session Of congress.
1t Is expected that the action taken
will nable the minority to make an
exceptionally strong showing against
the bill when the vote is next
Wednesday.
