CLUB FOR wINONA.
Bill to Allow Certain Cities to Own
Lighting Plants.

WINONA, Mimi. Feb. 12.-(special.l y
The bill recently passed through the
house of the state legislature providing
a law giving power to cities Of over s.
eco the power to own and operate their
own electric light plants is. causing c2n-
siderable speculation in this city. That
the bill was passed expressly for the
benefit of Winona is an assured fact.
Whether the city council intends to use
the power thus allowed them is a mat
ter of speculation. Figures given the CITY
council by Chicago firm recently show
that Winona can own and operate its
own plant at a much less cost than at
present The city is now paying $l5,t0)
year for lighting purposes. The new
firm promises to provide sixty-seven
more lights, of SEQ more candle-power
than the present lights have. and VIII
guarantee to operate such system for
$500 a year, $4,000 being expended to
build the necessary plant.
On the other hand the same company
will for the consideration of SI5O00 year
ly, for three years, build and operate for
three years an electric light plant. and
at the end of that time the city to own
the plant
The general sentiment of the people
here is that the bill was introduced for
the sake of giving the city club over
the electric lighting plant.

conclude they need. The time is getting
pretty short now for a thorough investi-
cation and if they do anything they will
lave to get a move on. The FuSionlStS
did not offer the same amendment in the
house that was offered in the senate
requiring a minority representation on
the committee for they said that it would
be promptly voted down and might put
them in the false light of opposing the
investigation as it had the senators, be-
sides, they felt satisfied that they would
be accorded some representation on the
committee anyway, as the Republicans
realize that there is nothing to be gained
by appointing a committee which is up

it would be if it is a strictly partisan
committee There is nothing certain that
this committee viii be set up for the
purpose of whitewashing the officials I'M
der accusation, as many of the Republi-
cans themselves are tired of the con-
slant recurrence of the scandals with
which they have to contend and would
like to see committee that will go to
the bottom of the whole business.
The committee has begun work by is
suing a large number of summons for
persons and papers. The first man sum-
moned was Gov Lee. No formal sum-
mons was served upon him on account
of his former position, but he was sent
n telegram inviting and requesting him
to attend as a witness and to assist In
the hearing. Only the charitable and
penal institutions and the soldiers home
will be included in the investigation, in
accordance with the provisions of the
joint resolution.
A bill has been introduced giving the
cities of the state the power to regulate
water, lighting and street car rates and
another to submit an amendment to the
constitution to allow cities and towns to
increase the present Indebtedness for the
purpose of purchasing such plants.
These two measures make radical
changes in the present method of allow
ing such corporations full swing to ex-
act as much out of the people as the
traffic will bear. and they will probably
be vigorously fought in both branches
of the legislature. They are, however,
measures of merit and should stand a
good show of being adopted, if the mem
bers have any desire to do anything that
will benefit the people at this session.
Senator Johnson, of Douglas, had an
amendment tackled to the bill permitting
counties to refund their Indebtedness
which is highly important. During the
consideration of the bill on Wednesday
he offered an amendment to reduce the
rate of interest at which bonds can be
refunded from per cent to per cent

rent contract rate on money from Il

Old Lady Runner fused about
The senate chamber, in and out
Committee rooms; and, by her way.
She had a secret to .betray.
She told her spiteful tale to one,
And this is how she made it run:
That fellow Hawkins, with the curls,
Thinks he makes q hit with girls.
Wonder what they'd think if they
Saw the curling iron play?'
Richard McNaree opined-
When to him she spoke her mind
Hawkins might 'kink up his hair
Tight as wool for all [ care.
Every fellow has his fad
My complexion's mine egad!'
Looking up from design
He's making for a valentine

Marked AdOnis of them all
Really didn't blame the man
For looking likely as he can;
Keeps the fellows guessing he
Said training to keep up to me!'

Heard her and at once apprised
Her of the situation fiat:
Madam, find out where you're at
Hawkins doesn't curl his hair
Not bit--and he's a square
Sort of fellow. Ought to be
Thankful-and he is-that he
Has head of hair. Don't go
Round and tell that. 'Tisn't So"

Still holds his prestige with the girls.

IN MEMORIAL MEETING
TODAY
PROGRAMME TO BE IMPRoMPTU
This Evening Measures Relating to
Pure Food VIII Be Discussed
in Senate-Deming Bill
Unpopular.

The legislature meets again this morn
Ing at II o'clock, after a recess lasting
from last Saturday. This intermission
was occasioned because of Lincolns
birthday anniversary. 1t is suspected
that very little business will be transact
ed in either house as the memorial is
planned for Senator Davis at 2 o'clock
in the house as the special order Both
senators and representatives will engage
in these services.
1t was announced yesterday that no
formal programme had been arranged for
the event this afternoon, SO that the
speeches and other proceedings will be
impromptu. Several of the members will
deliver addresses. 1t is expected that
Senator Mccarthy, of Grand Rapids, will
make one of the leading speeches.
A mass meeting will be held in the SEN
ate chamber tonight, beginning at s
o clock, under the auspices of the joint
pure food and public health committee.
Not alone members of the legislature are
urged to attend, but representatives of
the business fraternity of the city in
terested in bills that will come before
this committee Already number of
measures have been proposed and the
meeting is largely for the consideration
and discussion of these. Others will be
talked of. The committee is DESTROYS that
the drug, wholesale grocery and dairy in
terests be represented at the meeting, as
matters of vital Importance affecting
their interests will be brought up
Referring to the work of the present
legislature, a Republican house member
from the First district, yesterday said
that there was really very little business
to be attended to, and that, of course. ac-
counted in some measure at least, for
the free-and-easy shift that, has been
observed thus far. There is no doubt
however, but that the full number of
days will have been consumed
Sentiment is crystalizing against the
Deming bill introduced in the house last
week favorable to the pardoning of the
Younger brothers at Saltwater. Not so
much opposition seems to exist to the
act Of releasing the Youngers as to the
bill in particular Prominent Members
have denounced it, saying that it is not
the way to get at the matter. 1t is too
general in its application. The most
popular theory evidently is to draw up
measure that will apply specifically to
the YoungerS, and not one that will con-
fer such unlimited powers upon the
wardens of the various institutions and
their respective boards of pardon.

A maiden lady residing IN a small town
IN ONO has evidently heard OF senator
Cu!ton's- marriage regulation bill. She
writes to friend in St Paul as follows:
Has the Minnesota Legislature lost its
senses entirely? How can it possibly
propose to enact such an absurd law as
that forbiddng the marriage of women
over forty-fiVe years of age? 1t is out
rageous. The Eastern papers say that
the women of your state are organ zing TO
fight the measure. l do hope they will
be successful. The idea!'
She has been Informed that the law
prohibits the marriage of young idiots
and not those OF maturer age.
A morsel of a story which has been
tossed from one to another in the senate
chamber for week or two concerns a
small edition of womanhood and bit of
natural history. 1t runs:
A miss of thirteen summers came home
from school, fresh from d discussion of
the grounding and his shadow, theory.
and remarked:
Papa, what's a groundhog-I mean
what does it look lilke?"
why, my dear-let's see-did you ever
