COUNTY OPTION BILL NOW
PENDING IN SENATE
VOTE is ALMOST UNANIMOUS
State Control of Liquor In south
Carolina, Has Had Effect of
Lessening Public
Drunkenness.

Rev. G. r. Wells introduced a resolution
yesterday at meeting of the Methodist
Ministers association condemning the
dispensary feature of the county optional
dispensary bill now before the senate.
The bill allows each county in the state
the privilege of saying whether 1t will
have saloons or not. In case county
votes not to have saloons upon the petit
ton Of so per cent of the voters of
town in that county a dispensary may
be opened The state will have charge
of the dispensary and will sell liquor
to any citizen who wants it, but the
liquor is to be taken away in sealed
packages and there must be no drink
ing within the premises. Mr.. Wells stat
ed that the bill had been defeated in the
house, and was now before the senate.
He said he had talked with a number of
temperance people in different Parts of
the state, and especially with the Of
ficers of the scandinavian Temperance
society, which includes some 1e.000 MEM
berS, and they were all against the
dispensary provision in the bill
Rev. David Morgan, of the Bethel,
said he was opposed to the resolution
because he heartily indorsed the county
option feature, and considered that the
dispensary was much better than the
saloon.
South Carolina, where the dispensary
had taken the place of the saloon the
best men in the state considered it
great improvement, for the streets we
no longer infested with loafers and hab-
ftual drunkards.
Dr. Longley, of the Central Methodist
church, favored passing the resolution.
He thought that no body of Christian
men should go on record as indorsing
the sale of liquor by the government.
Mr. Wells withdrew his resolution, and
Rev. B. F. Cowgirl offered substitute
which favored the county optional dis
pensary bill. The resoaur1on was pass
ed almost unanimously.
DR.. Rule, DR.. Cowgirl and R. N. Avison
were appointed a committee to arrange
for union missionary meeting to be
held in St. Paul on the evening of April
g. The meeting will be addressed by
DR.. Oldham, of New York, general sec
rotary of the missionary society of the
Methodist church.
1t was announced that Bishop Walden
would be in ST. Paul April II and 13, and
that meetings would be arranged for
him.

May GRANT REHEARING
RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS CAN RE-
opEzN IRON ORE CASE

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS CAN RE-
OPEN IRON ORE CASE.
An opinion has been rendered by At
torney General Childs for the state rail-
road and warehouse commission in tho
contested iron ore rate case. The rate
charged on ore was cut 25 per cent by
the commission during the adm1nistra-
ton of Gov. Lind. The attorney general
holds that the commission has the right
to give ore carrying roads a rehearing,
and it may not vacate the old order, but
may modify it.
In it's denomination the commission
is limited to those cases where 1t appears
an injustice has been done by making a
difference in the rate which practically
amounts to confscation of property. The
powers of the courts in the case are to
affirm or reverse the decision of the COM
mission, but, in making decision, it
NAV make suggestions to the state
beard.
The application for a rehearing was
made by the Duluth 6 Iron Range road,
as the principal one involved, the others
icining in.

CHEAP CHEESE IS SEIZED.
DAIRY AND FOOD COMMISSIONER
DISCOVERS TONS OF 1T
WRONGLY LABELED
WIsC0NsIN's LITTLE GAME
Dealers in BADGER State Thought to
Have Been systematically Evad-
ing Lav-Seizure VIII Help
Minnesota Diaries.

Wisconsin and neighboring states are
practically killing off the cheese indus
try in Minnesota. This is something
which has long been suspected by dairy
men all over the state and now striking
proof of the fact has come to light
through the dairy and food department
at the capitol building. The department
has just seized over 1900 pounds of
cheese not labeled, as required by law.
and all Of it came originally from Wis
consin and neighboring states, principal
ly Wisconsin. This condition of things Is
startling in the extreme, but Dairy and
Food Commissioner Mcconnell thinks he
can account for it. He says that in this
state the law requires that skinned milk
cheese be labeled as such and not sold as
full cream cheese when it cannot right
fully be called so. Full cream cheese
here brings at least II or IL cents.
The state Of Wisconsin has about 1000
cheese factories, while Minnesota, has
only about sixty. The Badger state
ships large quantities of poor cheese into
this state and it retails here for 8 or 8
cents and sometimes as low as cents.
Local manufacturers have the disadvan-
tage, If 1t may be so termed, of being
right under the eye of the department,
and must sell good cheese or label poor
cheese for what it is worth. 1t is al
most impossible to prevent the shipment
into this state Of poor cheese, and it is
difficult to detect wrong labels after
the cheese gets here. The cheese indus
try has been at standstill in Minne-
sofa for some time, and the commissioner
accounts for it by the reasons above.
He says that the legislature now has a
chance to do some work that will be of
great benefit to the dairymen of the
state, and that if something is not done
soon the present condition of things will
continue in force. Not only that-dairy-
men will stop making cheese and turn
their attention to butter.
Two commission men, A. Anmon G8
East Third, and J. c. Famechon mana
ger for Stacey & Co., II East TIL I'd, were
charged with violating the dairy and food
law in the municipal court yesterday. The
complaint charged them with offering
SKINNED milk cheese for sale. The cases
will come up Wednesday, and many
others will be heard from in the near flu
ture. Several cases are due to come up
in Minneapolis this week The dairy
and food commissioner states that the
cheese raid is the largest ever made in
the history Of his department.

MAILSIGNS ON CARS.
MAY BE ALLOWED TO STAY UNTIL
REPAINTING is NECESSARY.

It is now said that unless further COM
plants are made to the postofffce depart
ment at Washington, the Twin City
Rapid Transit company will be allowed
to run the cars containing the words
gu. S. Mali until they are withdrawn
for repairs or repainting A government
official says the company shows a dispo-
sition to comply with the law in every
respect, and the department will not go
so far as to force the company to go
to the expense of repainting the old cars
while they are in good condition. The
government will insist, however, that
when new cars are put on the line, or the
old ones are withdrawn for repairs, the

PAYS TO DEPORT INSANE
MINNESOTA is SAVED OVER $780,
600 EVERY TWO YEARS.

The state is being saved over 100000
biennially through the system now IN
force of deporting insane patients from
state institutions to the homes from
which they originally came This is the
biennial report Of State Agent Gates,
which is now in the hands of the print
erS.
After two years more experience"
said Mr.. Gates, I'VE see no reason to
change the estimate made two years ago
that the average cost to the state of
maintaining each insane person will ex-
ceed 81, $50. Other states place their cost
at a much higher figure. Upon this
basis, the amount saved to the state by
the deportations made during the period
will be $1O7. 000.'
There have been deported during the
past two years 10 cases. These included
one vagrant boy, one reformatory in
mate, one feeble minded man, and LOT
insane patients. The majority of de-
portationS were to other states and
twenty-five were to European countries.
The report of the state agent closes
with reference to the present appropri-
alton as follows:
The present appropriation of $1,000
per annum is sufficient for the denorta-
the deportation of paupers. The same
amount will be required for the next two
years, and if 1t is desirable to deport the
paupers, an additional appropriation will
be necessary

Why is it that the blood gets out Of

to the almost inevitable indigestion of
spring. During the winter months much

Digestion has been prodded to its ut
most.
AS spring approaches the system re-

excess of nutrition This loads the

the strictest diet this cannot be avoided.

Twenty-eight men went into the pit this

MANGLED BEYOND BELIEF.
Rescuers went into the pit as soon as
possible, in view of the afterdamp, and
in short time brought twelve of the
men out uninjured. The other sixteen
were, however, in a pitiable condition.
They had suffered the full force of tho
