New Power Company.

The deal has at last been closed by
which the control of the Little Falls
water power has passed to a number Of
capitalists representing the Westinghouse
Electric Company.
This means great things for this city.
The new company announces its inten-
tion of commencing work at once upon
the construction of an immense plant for
the manufacture of machinery used by
the Westinghouse Company in it's west
ern trade, and promises that it's imme-
diate investment will not be less than
$500,0O0, while it is the intention ulti-
mately to invest fully as much more in
the consummation of plans already con-
ceived.
The bargain was closed at meeting Of
interested parties at the Antlers Hotel at
which Vice President Warren and Gen.
eral Counsel Woods of the Westinghouse
Company, and John McCabe, a well
known Omaha capitalist, acted for the
purchasers, and M. M. Williams, presi-
dent of the Little Falls Water Power
Company, represented the local interests
involved.

and is nephew of the prophet. His
father, Hyrum Smith, was impris-
oned at the time of his birth and his
mother was driven from her home.
When the Latter Day Saints were
expelled from Nauvoo he drove an
OK team to winter quarters, which
he reached in 1876. He crossed the
plains to Salt Lake in 184S. In April,
1854. he went on a mission to the
Sandwich islands.
On his return to Salt Lake City he
was engaged with his friends in
the Echo canyon defense against the
army sent to Utah. He was sergeant
at arms of the Utah legislature in
185S'59. He was ordained one of
the seventies on March 20, 1858, and
was ordained high priest and made
a member of the high council in Oc-
tober of that year. He made three
pilgrimages to Europe and one more
to the Sandwich islands.
In October, 1889. he was chosen by
President John Taylor as his second
councillor. In the session of 1882 he
presided over the council of the Utah
legislature.
When Wilford Woodruff succeeded
to the presidency of the church, Jo-
seph F. Smith was retained as sec-
ond councillor in the first presidency,
as he was when president Lorenzo
Snow became the head of the church.

Prune ShOrtcake.

Prune shortcake is another emer-
gency suggestion. This is when one
is out of reach of fresh fruits, for
prunes, like the poor, we have always
with us. The shortcake should be
made of a biscuit crust, and the
prunes for the filing stewed till ten
der, and favored with two or three
slices of lemon, added when they are
about half done. When cooked, drain
off part of the juice, sweeten, press
through colander, or, if preferred,
pick out the stones and larger pieces
of skin, spreading the rest between
the shortcake layers. Serve, if pos
sible, with whipped cream.-N. Y.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Attorney General Douglas Makes a
Ruling.
He Holds that the Death of John s. Pills
bury Does Not Create a Vacancy
In Board of Regents.

Attorney General Douglas has ruled
that the death of former Governor John
s. Pillsbury has created no vacancy on
the board of regents of the state uni
versity. The opinion was given at the
request of Governor Van SAINT, and in it
Mr.. Douglas says:
The general purpose of the legislature
was to honor Mr.. Pillsbury by making
him life member of this board. In
stead of passing a separate enactment
to accomplish this purpose, the legisla-
ture amended the then existing law Great
ing the board. and thereby made Mr..
Pillsbury an honorary member having the
same powers as other members. and in
cidentally changed the total number to
thirteen.
1.-THE second paragraph provides spe-
cifcally for the appointment of nine
other members not specially designated
in the act. If the act is construed as con-
tinuing the total number of thirteen
members after the death of Mr.. Pills
bury, the provision referred to authoriz-
ing the appointment of nine members for
a specific term, Of necessity must be con-
strued as authorizing the appointment Of
ten members, one of whom shall serve
for another and different term than pro-
vided by the act in question. The clause
In the act quoted, to-wit:
Whenever a vacancy therein occurs
for any cause the same shall be filled
for the unexpired term in the same man
ner,' can have no reference whatever, in
my judgment, to the term of Mr.. Pills
bury. which the legislature provided
should continue during his good pleasure.
If this clause is given any effect what
ever. it must be deemed as having refer
ence to the power of the legislature,
which is supreme in the premises

to the ninth century, and is of fam
lily whose position as mobiles is older
than any now existing in Europe. He
is earl marshal and chief butler of
England, and as such has had the de-
Gliding of important questions in con-
nection with the coming coronation of
King Edward, such as the making up of
a list of those entitled to witness the
ceremony. AS earl marshal he led the
procession at Queen Victoria's s funeral.
The last ten months the duke has
been the center of an extremely Bit
ter religious controversy. This began
when, visiting the pope in Rome at the
head of party of English pilgrims, he
offended the friends of the Italian
royal family by expressing in an ad-
dress to his holiness the hope that the
new century would see the restoration
of the pope to temporal power. The
secular press in Italy denounced the
duke, who is considered the titular
chief of English Catholics, as 'an i'm
pertinent intermeddler, a dangerous
agitator, and an enemy of free and in
dependent Italy" There was storm
in Protestant England also over the
matter, and some English papers de-
clared the duke had insulted the king
of Italy. The dukes position as sec
ular head of English Catholics dates
back to his youth, when Cardinal New
man addressed to him the famous "let-
ter" in reply to Gladstone's anti-Vat-
lean pamphlet. He has been called
"the pope's favorite son."

for themselves the condition of the
inhabitants of the districts where
famine may be said to be chronic;
especially the governments of Kasan,
Simbirsk and Samar. They received
the utmost assistance from the
"popes," as the Russian clergy are
called.
What they found may be gathered
from their description of once we'll
to-do village, which serves as type
of all:
On approaching the village we saw
a few horses worn to skeletons, one
or two oxen whose bones, where
they pierced the taut skin, were
covered with fostering sores. They
had lain too long on the stable floor,
not having strength to get up. The
village itself seems wrapped in the
arms of death. No barking of dogs
announces us-the dogs are all dead
No pigs in the street. No sign or
sound of children-the cruel winter
and hunger have laid them in an
early sleep of death. Nothing to be-
tray the presence of human beings.
.. We enter one of the cottages.
1t is low, of no particular shape; the
thatch is wanting in several places,
the woodwork which supported it
being gradually used up for firewood.
Were we not accustomed to the
spectacle we should doubt whether it
could serve as a dwelling for human
beings, utterly unprotected as it is
against rain and cold. Reclining on
one shelf in the one room are the
father and his son, on the other
shelf lie the mans wife and an ell
derly woman huddled close together.
Which of the two women is the wife
and which her mother we cannot dis
tinguish from their aged, wrinkled,
emaciated faces distorted with
scurvy. The peasant says: 1--WE lie
here and die; no one comes near u.s."
"Don't they come with bread for you
from the Red Cross bakery?" l ask.
"For three days past there has been
no bread" is the reply.
"Why. not?"
because they have no -four. The
police captain has the key of the
flour stores, and he is away"
"How is it with regard to seed
corn?"
"Seed corn is distributed. but we
have received none"
"Why not?"
1.-THE elder of our village says there
is seed corn for us, but he does not
know where it is, and he has sought
for it everywhere"
Such is the story repeated at every
farmhouse in every village. The Red
Cross society is helpless in the face
of such vast distress. 1t is equipped
to provide bread for. say, 40 people,
and finds 400 looking to it to keep
them alive. The government corn
that is to be distributed rarely finds
its way to the most deserving cases.

Honor to the State.

One of the youngest instructors of the
University of Minnesota has given the
institution the highest scientific honor it
has received in years.
Harold l.. Lyon, instructor in botany,
by good fortune and hard work has es-
tablished the position of nelumbo, or
sacred bean, Minnesota's largest water
lilly, in the plant world. In so doing he
has overthrown the classification of the
French school Of systematic botany,
which includes the most learned botan-
lists Of the world.
The nelumbo is a cream colored water
lily, of the largest variety in Minnesota.
1t is otherwise known as the sacred bean.
1t is found in abundance in Halstead' s
Bay, Lake Minnetonka, and it is from
this place that the university obtains it's
specimens. The plant has always
puzzled scientists, for, owing to certain
peculiarities which it possesses in early
stages of growth, it has not been classi-
fed satisfactorily.

New Milk Adulterant.

new milk adulterant has been discov-
cred by the dairy inspectors in use in
Minnesota. 1t is called viscogen, and is
composed of sugar, lime and water. It
has the effect of making the milk appear
richer than it is, as the Tactic acid in the
milk turns the lime to thick, white
substance that assimilates with the milk,
and improevs it's looks, while it does not
injure the taste.

A Narrow Escape.

Passengers on a Western and Second
street car in Minneapolis had a thrilling
experience the other afternoon. To the
presence of mind of Motorman John E.
Youngman they probably owe their lives.
The car, No. 465, jumped the track on
the bridge at Twelfth street and West
ern avenue. 1t ran at right angles to
the rails, crashed into the foot walk,
and stopped as one-third of it hung over
the side of the bridge, in imminent dan
ger of dropping 35 feet to the railroad
yards below.
With death staring him in the face,
Driver Youngman proved himself man
of nerve. The instant the wheels left
the track he applied all his strength to
the brakes. In spite of all he could do
he could not bring the car to standstill
until one-third of it was overhanging the
tracks below.
