MINNESOTA EDITORS.
Arrangements Made For Their Annual
Outing Next Summer.

The arrangements for the annual
outing of the Minnesota State Editors
association next summer, have thus
early been completed, and it is expect
ed that it will be the most enjoyable
and interesting affair in the history of
the association.
The editorial party of two hundred
will be transported by a special train
of five sleepers, one day coach, and one
baggage coach, leaving st. Paul Sat
urday evening, June 1st, over the Mil
waukee road. They will arrive in
Chicago at 8 a. m., Sunday, and leave
over the Chicago & Grand Trunk at
noon. The objective point, Buffalo
and the great Pan American exposi-
ton, will be reached Monday morning.
The party will spend four days at the
expositio which the members of the
committee, after thorough inspection
of the buildings, grounds and pro-
grams, stay will be the most import
ant, elaborate and extensive exposition
ever held in America, with the ex-
ception in certain particulars, of the
Chicago Worlds fair. They say that
in several respects the Pan american
exposition will excel all former enter
prises of it's kind.
The party will also visit Niagara
Falls and Toronto. From Toronto the
trip to st. Paul will be made direct,
landing the excursionists in that city
on the morning of June 10TH

On the Government.

They were two big, burly Indians.
The long eagle feather in the hat of
one who is known as "chief - and
the bright red ostrich tip in the SOM
brero of the other would have told that
if the unmistakeable features had not
evidenced it. A government en-
ployee, it matters not who, but one
who may possibly in certain events
happening make stake out of the
tribe to which these Indians belong,
was doing the honors of the capital
and showing the braves about the COR
ridors. They left the Indian commit
tee room and came to the door of the
house restaurant
Lets have a bite to eat, F." sug-
gested the man with the graft
"All right, was the quick reply of
the aborigines.
:, At the luncheon counter the one who
could master the most English asked,
"Guv munt pay?''
''Oh, yes, responded the host,
thinking that the quickest way to in
form them that they would not have
to stand good for the bill.
ugh p grunted the brave, I'VE eat
lot, guv'm unt pay. And they did
four cups of coffee each, half dozen
hard boiled eggs, three ham sand
iches, one dozen doughnuts, whole
baked chicken, ice cream, a whole pie
each and besides that thirst for fire
water that was absolutely appalling.
The luncheon counter looked as
though a cyclone might have paid it
visit by the time the Indians got
through, and the bill that the 'guv'-
munt' clerk had to foot. made his
weeks salary look like cents.
"Guv munt heap good, grunted
the brave as he picked his teeth in
true "white brother fashion in the
corridor. "We eat here again. J"
But it will not be in company with
that particular clerk. Washington

was tainted with prejudice. This was
| shown beyond all question by the fact
that year after year the various state
boards asked for amounts ranging from
rs to 100 per cent more than needed.
A bill to create state highway
commission came from the roads and
bridges companies.
To auth orize the railroad and ware
house commission to designate country
termi nal points for the inspection and
weighing of grain, Senator E. j. Jones
has proposed bill. By it terminal
point may be established anywhere at
the request of the owners or managers
of elevators and mills, who must pay
the expenses of the service. Senator
Greer presented a bill to authorize
the secretary of state to enter into a
ten-year compact with the Keefe-
Davidson Law book company for the
publication of supreme court reports,
to be sold by the state for $1.25 per
volume.
Senator Roverud created much
amusement by moving that the title of
S. F. 2S7 should be changed SO as to
read: "a bill for the temporary relief
of Russell Sage. The multimillion-
aire has hitherto been unable to find
any one willing to cash the bonds is
sued during the early history of the
state by Reeds Landing. The village
has since been dissolved and the at
tempt has been made to recover from
the TOWNSHIP into which it was merg-
ed. Mr.. McGovern's bill provides
that the debts of the dissolved munich
pality may be assessed against the
property in the territory which con-
tracted the debt. Senator Greer re-
sented the Roverud substitute.
\ The law regulating auctioneers is
radically changed by another bill in
troduced by Mr.. Kelly on that subject
yesterday.
Auctioneers will be licensed by the
county auditor instead of the county
commissioners, for the present fee of
SO. No auctioneers may be employed
to sell merchant s stock without a
special permit from the auditor, and
that will cost so, and be good for
twenty days. Any resident may employ
such an auctioneer with a permit to
close out his whole stock or part of it,
but it is unlawful for such a merchant
to increase his stock at all while the
auction sale is going on.
The Nichols bill, imposing gross
earnings tax on the earnings of ex-
press companies, has been attacked
on the ground that it exempts the
companies from payment of all other
taxes in consideration of per cent
gross earnings tax. The bill has been
recommended to pass the house. The
bill makes no material change in the
present law except to raise the tax
from to per cent. Senator Miller
had introduced the same bill in the
senate and has it on general orders.
Senator Miller says it is better to tax
only the gross earnings tax accord
ingly. He will propose to amend the
present bill by raising the tax to per
cent to make up for the exemption of
real property.

LESSONS IN COOKING.

Every woman who visits the Pan
American exposition will make COM
parison between her home methods of
working and those she will find in the
electrical kitchen of the exposition. 1t
will be an interesting study for all
the ladies, and one from which they
will receive benefit. Many mothers
will recognize vast improvement in
the kitchen equipment and facilities
of today as compared with their child
hood, while hopeful girlhood will
eagerly long for kitchen electrically
