M'LAURIN AN EXPANSIONIST
First Democratic Senator to Take That
Side of the Question.

First Democratic Senator to Take That
Side of the Question.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-Notwith-
standing the agreement made by the
senate to vote on the Hawaiian govern
ment bill final action on the measure
was postponed for day. Practically
no progress was made on the bill, al
though it was under consideration
nearly four hours.
One of the features of the session was
the speech of Mr.. McLaurin Is. o. on
the Philippine question. He was the
first Democratic senator to express him
self for expansion. He secuted what he
called the "bugaboo of imperialism, -
with which some of his colleagues were
trying to frighten the people, declared
the question was not one of politics and
maintained the acquisition of the Phil
ippines would be of immense advantage
to this country, especially to the South,
by opening to the United States the
trade of the Orient.

FORMER RESIDENT DEAD.

The following account of the death
of former resident of Mankato is
taken from California paper that has
just reached us:
Captain Richard Shepard passed
away at the home of his son, Elmer E
Shepard, in Selma, Thursday night.
December %, 1885, at II o'clock, releas-
ed from years of suffering, though the
end came as it so often does, with but
a few hours warning.
eff a brief biographical sketch of
Captain Shepard was given, it would
be that he was born on the shore of
Lake Erie, in Ashtatula county, Ohio.
August 10, 1899 His father and six
brothers. the deceased the youngest,
were all master seamen and captains
J a. owners of crafts-the father owner
and master of one of the vessels used by
the famous Commodore Perry.
''In 1S49 near the place of his birth,
he was wed to the lady of his choice,
Miss Rowena G. Stratton, and the
fruits of this union were six children,
four sons and two daughters-all sur
vivors of he father saye one son, who
died in boyhood From Ohio and the

VACATION PLANS DISTURBED
Normal Teachers Asked to Serve 10 Sum-
mer Schools.

The teachers of the normal school
are agitated over request from State
Superintendent Lewis for the free SER
vices of ten of their number for two
weeks in summer school work next
summer. 1t appears that under the
contract signed by the teachers, the
state is entitled to this extra two
weeks, their employment in the nor
NAL school falling that much short of
the time which they have contracted to
give the state. The teachers have the
privilege of volunteering to do this ad-
ditional work in the summer schools or
furnishing recompense for the employ
ment of other teachers who shall do the
work. Several from the Mankato nor
NAL school have volunteered and
others are undecided. Under previous
state administrations the teachers were
not required to furnish their services
free under their contract.

ADULTERATIoN OF FOOD

Senate Committee Finds That 1t Is Ex-
tensively Practiced.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The senate
committee on manufactures has submit
ted to the senate report on the extern
sive investigation it had conducted into
the report that many articles of food
and drink are SO adulterated as to be
either serious injury to the public
health or, where the ingredient is not
injurious to health, a fraud on the pur-
chaser. Accompanying the report is a
great mass Of testimony taken in the
leading cities of the country. The re-
port says the Importance of the investi-
CATION made and the legislation pro-
posed cannot be too strongly empha-
sized. The committee favors law to
prohibit the sale of deleterious and un-
healthy food products, and as to those
food products which are simply cheap
ened by adulterants to compel the mark
ing Of these goods for what they are.

ANXIETY FOR THE RESULT
Members Brought From Sick
Beds in Order to Get Out
Every Vote.
Wild Demonstration by Repub-
licanS When the Result Is
Announced.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE battle
royal over the Porto Rican tariff bill
ended in a sweeping victory for the Re-
publicans. The bill, amended as agreed
upon at the conference of Republicans
on Monday night SO as to reduce the
tariff from % to 15 per cent of the
American tariff and limiting its life to
two years, was passed by vote of 172
yeas to 161 nays. Six Republicans
Messrs. Crumpacker of Indiana, Fletcher
and Heatwole of Minnesota, Littleield
of Maine, Lorimer of Illinois and Nc
Call of Massachusetts-vo with the
opposition against the bill, and four
Democrats-Messrs. Davey and Meyer
Of Louisiana, Devries of California and
Sibley of Pennsylvania-vo with the
Republicans for the bill. In addition
Mr.. Warner (Rep., Ills.) was paired
against the bill with Mr.. Boutelle
(Rep., Me.) for it. Two other Repub-
icans, Mr.. Lane of Iowa and Mr.. Faris
of Indiana,
Were Absent and Impaired.
Herculean efforts had been made to get
out the full vote and this led to some
remarkable incidents. Six men were
brought from beds of sickness; two Of
them from hospitals. Mr.. Brownlow of
Tennessee was brought in carriage
accompanied by his wife and physician.
He sat bundled up near the entrance
until his vote was given and then with
drew. It was felt that the strain would
be severe on him, but when Mr.. Taw-
ney, the Republican whip, urged that
the bill might be lost by this one vote,
Mr.. Brownlow said:
ST would rather lose my life than see
this bill lost"
Mr.. Tawney and his assistants were
out in carriages
Accounting for Every Vote,
and Mr.. Underwood the Democratic
whip, was similarly exerting every
means to get out his vote. Three Dem
ocrats were brought from sick beds.
The first test was on a substitute Of.
fered by Mr.. Mccall on behalf of the
opposition. 1t was the original Payne
bill for free trade with Porto Rico and
was defeated, 100 to 174. Only five Re-
pubicans voted for the substitute. Mr..
Fletcher (Rep., Minn.), who subse.
quently voted to recommit and against
the bill, voted against the substitute. A
motion to recommit it which followed
shared similar fate, being lost, 100 to
172. There was great excitement
throughout the roll calls, which were
followed with eager interest by thou
sands of spectators who packed the gal.

A SUSPECTED CASE.
Miss Albertine Andrews has Symptoms
of Vari0I0id.

Miss Albertine Andrews the six
teen year old daughter of Capt. and
Mrs. I. H. Andrews, has not been we'll
for several days and the physician who
was summoned last evening considered
the case sufficiently suspicious to re-
port to the health officer. 1t is suspect
ed. that the young lady is suffering from
varioloid, which is mild form of small
pox. What strengthens this belief is
the fact that Miss Andrews returned
sixteen days ago from a three days
visit with relatives at st. James, who
had themselves been exposed, several
cases having developed there. The
house, No. 216 Byron street, has been
quarantined, and those who have been
associating with the young lady during
the past few days will be under obser-
walton.
Health Officer Holbrook states that
there is no cause for alarm even
though, as seems probable, the case
should prove to be varioloid. He does
not fear an outbreak oftany dimen-
sions.
DIR. Bracken, secretary of the stat q
board of health, will arrive this eve
ming to observe Miss Andrews case and
determine whether or not she is suffer-
ing from varioloid.
Mankato has been remarkably fortu-
nate thus far in not having any small
pox cases, as many of the smaller cities
and towns of Southern Minnesota have
been visited this winter. Considering
the fact that Mankato is a railroad CEN
ter and transfer point, it would have
been expected that this city would
have been among the first to have cases,
but as matter of fact, the case report
ed last night is the first and only one
that has occurred in the city this win
ter. Several parties who were exposed
in other places have been under obser-
vation from time to time, but did not
develop any symptoms of the disease.
Small pox is not to be dreaded as
much as diphtheria or typhoid fever,
and all of these diseases put together
do not affect the human race as does
consumption. A physician should be
promptly called in case of illness, as
matter of precaution, and vaccination
is an effective preventative. A person
should be vaccinated once in five to
seven years to be perfectly immune.
1t takes from nine to thirty days for
case of small pox to develop after
exposure, according to the virulence of
the poison taken into the system at the
time of exposure. The school children
have been very generally vaccinated.
If persons system is in good con-
di tion, exposure is not often followed
by an attack of the disease.
Miss Andrews is member of the ''B"
class at the normal school, but has not
attended her recitations since last Fri
day, and 80 therefore no uneasiness is
felt at the school.
