The high tension which has existed
at Tien Tsin for several days back be-
tween the Russian and British is said
to be relaxing somewhat and it is now
reported that the troops of nations
will be withdrawn from the disputed
ground SO as to avoid the chance for
open hostilities. 1t is also said that
Russia stands ready to make some con-
cessions as to its control of Manchuria,
and if this is true. it is possible that
the jar which has occurred in the con-
cert of the powers in the oriental pro-
blem may be passed over without a
break. The United States troops have
been ordered to return to Manila next
month, and all that will be left in
China is simply a legation guard.
Germany is also getting FESTIVE and
desires to withdraw. 1t is hardly prob
able chat Germany would fight to pre-
vent disme mberment of the Chinese
empire, as she will be able to get what
she desires without fighting. While
the United States objects to dismem-
berment it would hardly go to war to
prevent it, as this country can prob
ably secure the continuance of the de-
sired trade relations without firing a
gun. And so while some of the old
world powers may glare at each other
in most warlike fashion at times, is
hardly probable they will come to a
clash of arms, for while at least.

Gov Van SAINT has announced his
willingness to call the legislature to-
gether in special session next February
providing it adjourns April 9th as has
been suggested. But he has stated
that he would hardly care to take the
responsibility of calling an extra ses-
sion, should that body serve out the
full legislative allotment of time this
spring. There is no good and ap-
parent reason why adjournment can
not be brought about at that time
About the only important measure
which cannot be disposed of this week,
is that of the gross earnings act. 1t
is probable that could be acted upon
before the 9th of next month if the
two houses were so disposed to ge
down to business in the meantime
But at the meeting of the committee
today having this bill in charge in the
house it is said an attempt will be
made to have it referred to the tax
COlululSSlOu. IL Sc@ulS DIS UuOuSu UIllS
would be very good scheme to pur-
sue The commission is composed of
strong men, all of whom are good
lawyers, and they would be able to
look into the bill thoroughly and pass
upon the constitutional objections
which have been raised and their ad-
vice in the matter would most val
liable. In case this bill was so refer
red, the legislature would be able to
adjourn early so as to allow an extra
session to be called and the gross earn
ings tax bill could then be considered
and passed so as to be submitted at the
next general election as we'll as though
acted on at present.
1t is said that the commission is TAX
ing hold of the work before it with a
view of having its report ready for an
extra session if one is called, and it
would be a great card for the Republi-
can party of the leaders would so shape
things as to make this possible, and
secure the adoption of new tax code
at the earliest day possible. That is
what the people want.

The council is to be commended for
its action Friday evening in ordering
a sidewalk laid along Pike street from
jackson street to a point near the
union depot. The Omaha people have
agreed, we understand, to connect it
with the union depot aud the Milwau-
kee people with their depot. This will
make it much more convenient for the
south part of the city to reach the de-
pots in that part of the city.

BILL FOR NURSING.
The First Small POx Suit Gets Int,
Court.

IL
An interesting suit has been com
menced in Judge Shissler's court by
John B. Davis of Lake Crystal against
John W. Williams. According to the
complaint, Williams went to board
with Mr.. Davis family and was taken
with severe attack of smallpox, be-
ing the first in the village to come
down. The house was quarantined
and Mrs. Davis brother caught the
disease. She nursed Williams, who re-
quired a great deal of attention. Will
liams offers to pay 49, 30 a week for his
board and 81. 30 a week extra for his
care. Mr.. Davis sues to recover $3.50
for nursing, disinfectants, etc. w.

be involved.

INTO THE COUNTRY
Farmers to Have Phones the
Present Season.
Mankato Citiz' MS Telephone Co. Will
Construct Farm rs Lines" 10 Ma
pletOn and Lake Crystal.

The Mankato Citizens Telephone
Co. will make some important mo YES
the present season. One will be the
construction of line to Rapidan, Gar
den City and Mapleton, and another
will be the construction of line to
Lake Crystal Work on these two lines
will be begun in short time, after
the frost is out of the ground.
1t is proposed by the company to
make these two lines of service to the
farmers along the routes traversed, and
they will be farmers lines. Any
farmer living in the vicinity can have
telephone and be connected with the
Mankato central. The charges
will be very reasonable. Then
the farmers who have instruments will
be as much in touch with the world
as though they lived in the city. They
can learn the market quotations be-
fore starting for town with pro duce,
and by selecting their time can make
much more than their instrum ents
cost. In a dozen ways they will find
the phones useful and practical.
There is a farmers line running
from Mapleton to Sterling, but
whether the Mankato line will connect
with that is not known yet. The local
company has been long urged by the
farmers near Rapidan and elsewhere
to extend out into the country, and
much patronage is promised in case
they will do So

things as easy as they have had during
the past two years. His raids upon a
number of the big poachers in the
north portion of the state, where men
have been engaged in canning deer
meat and selling it to lumbermen and
others will have great moral effect
upon the enforcement of
the game laws, and their
observation. One of his latest
moves is to make an arrangement
with the game and fish commission of
Wisconsin whereby game shipped from
Minnesota into that state will be
seized and returned and likewise game
shipped from Wisconsin into this state
will be sent back. This will have a
most wholesome effect in the matter
of game law observation.

effect. This is what he says:
