WEEKS WORK IN SENATE.
DeminE Parole Bill Passed, and An.
ti-Cigarette RiII Killed

tl-O1SaEette Hill Killed.
The most notable event in the senate
during last week was the final passage
Of the Deming parole bill, drawn for the
relief of the Younger brothers. The Hal
vCrson cigarette bill, which had passed
the senate with only five votes recorded
against it, came back from the house
with an unimportant amendment attach
ed. The senate concurred in the amend
ment and calmly killed the favorite
measure of the gentleman from Lac uui
Parle. Very diverting were some ex-
plantations of votes upon the measure,
and of special interest was that of Sena-
tor Mielicke, who told the senate that
boys should be raised correctly at home
and that prevention of cigarette smoking
on their part was not in the province of
the legislature.
An oldest inhabitant'' made its appear
ance in the Anoka-Hastings hosp-tal mat
ter. A bill was introduced changing the
asylum at the two little cities into hos
pitals and .appropriating a large sum of
money for improvements. The hospital
idea was given chilly reception.
The Miller bill placing a gross earnings
tax of 8 per cent upon express companies
PASSED. The Pope bill to leagaliZe cer-
tain Indebtedness of Kandiyohi and Pine
counties is now in the hands OF a spe-
cial committee. The Reeves text boak bill
was the subject of most spirited discus
sion in the senate committee on educa-
ton, with many promine ut educators Of
the state appearing against 1t. 1t was
reported from the committee with some
o.uAeLuIueIIlS, eliminating the most ODJec-
tlonable features, without recommends
tion.
The Patterson bill, providing for the
calling of q constitutional convention,
was killed in the senate, and is probably
more sincerely mourned by it's minority
supporters than any other bill which has
ceased to be this session Senator Snyder
now comedies the futility Of trying to
pass his civil service bill
The gross earnings bill came into the
senate on Friday afternoon and made
trouble right away. 1t was referred af-
ter heated dispute, to the tax committee.

"When April blows his horn
'ITis good for both hay and corn"


AS every phase of life is filled with
fancies, signs and omens, so each month
has it's lucky gem. The origin of a Spe-
cial stone for each month was probably
founded on the original breastplate of
the Jewish high priest, which contained
twelve gems, one for each of the twelve
tribes of Israel The diamond is the gem
of April. which means purity and inno-
cence. 1t Is supposed to maintain con-
cord between man and wife and for this
reason is considered appropriate for the
eSpousal ring.
''She who from April dates her years.
Diamonds should wear, lest bitter tears
For vain repentance flow; this stone
Emblem of innocence is known" "
In the Mohammedan calendar the mon h
OF April, 1901, corresponds with the month
of Dulheggee, of the year 1919, beginning
March % and ending with April 20 (New
Years..
The French revolutionary calendar, es-
tablished in 1893 and abolished by Ma
poleon in 1905, spread April over Ger
minal or Sprouts month (March 81 to
April 19), and Floreal or Flowers month
april 20 to May 19).
The Fnnan church designates April as
the month of the resurrection.
The Positivist calendar, as arranged
by the followers of Comte, named the
months after prominent persons, that
known as April having been conferred
upon Archimedes.
In the Jewish calendar the month of
April, 1901, corresponds to portions Of the
months Nisun and Yiar Of the year
5661 On Nisan Is, corresponding to Ap.n
Il, occurs the feast of the Passover. The
year 5661 has 305 days.
All Fools day is April l, when 1t is
an almost universal custom for all people
throughout Christendom to play more or
less amiably silly tricks upon one anoth-
| er Of the origin of this custom nothing
| is positively known. One story takes
it back to the days of Noah when he
sent out the dove on its first unsuccess-
ful mission, whence arises the custom OF
sending persons on foolish errands or
| catching them with some trick.
In English history the title of Black
Monday is given to Easter Monday-April
il, 1860, on which day Edward III, with
| his hoost lay before the city of Paris,
| which day was full darke of mist and
| hail and so bitter cold that many men
| dyed on their horses with cold; where
! fore unto this day it hath beene called
| the Blacke Munday." BY extension the
term was also applied to every cold or
| stormy Easter Monday. It is used in this
sense by Shakespeare In the Merchant
| of Venice" "Then it was not for moth
| ing that my nose fell a-bleeding on Black
Monday last" Dickens Household
Words contains a long descriptive article
on Black Monday.

An extract from the report made by

in labor circles, bringing forth an able
letter from Henry w. Goetzinger, secre-
tary Federation Council State Federation

You will find the edge taken

anything anyhow.
That's relief. If you tackle

Demands Not Excessive.

The Minneapolis Painters union has
been gathering statistics in regard to
its membership and the condition of the
men individually, which form a strong
basis for the demands of the men. The
report of the financial secretary for the
quarter ending Dec. 81, 1900, shows there
were 494 members in good standing on
the books, and that sixteen others were
suspended for being more than three
months in arrears for dues Seven mem
bers were fined during 1900, the amounts
ranging from S. to SIS.
The average age of the members of
the union is thirty-nine years, the oldest
being sixty and the youngest twenty.
The average number of persons in
number in any one family being ten.
Thfrty-tWo per cent have suffered from
the effects of their work on account of
the poisons in the paint and from other
causes.
Five Per cent of the members own
their own homes, the rest pay an aver
age of $lOO year for house rent. The
total amount of wages paid to union
painters in Minneapolis during the year
1900 was $207, ,009.T0. The average wages
for last year was S49S.87. Out of this
was paid $100 for rent, leaving $398S7 to
feed and clothe and educate a family
of three and a half persons. Only 1 per
cent Of the members earned over $500
during the past year. Five per cent
made over $700, % pei cent made over
$500 and 27 per cent made less than $780,
WOodworkers Are Progressive.
General Secretary Thomas I. Kidd, of
the Amalgamated International Wood
workers union, reports the formation of
four new unions located in Piqua, O.;
CCrunna, Mich; ST. Louis Mo-, and New
Albany, Ind The boXmakers of st.
Louis have again come under the juris-
diction of the amalgamated union. It
probably has had enough experience with
the so-called United Order" whose
king bee'' has been doing the Micawber
act of waiting for something to turn
up for long time, but fortune seems
not to favor him. Since receiving it's
charter the prospects are that Union No.
149 will have organized under it's juris-
diction one of the largest and best shops
in the city of st. Louis. The Anheuser-
Busch Brewing company has decided that
hereafter it will purchase only boxes
bearing the label of the Amalgamated
Woodworkers' International union.
Painters and WOOdwOrkers Agree.
General Secretary Frank Heenan, of
the Brotherhood of Painters and Decora-
tors, reports the formation of sixteen
new unions; two unions reinStated, two
unions consolidated. seven suspended and
one lapSed. An agreement between the
painters and woodworkers has been made
whereby the woodworkers will control all
vanishing work in the factory and the
painters will control all vanishing out
side the factory. He also calls atten-
tion to the fact that the Pan-American
exposition bind themselves not to en-
ploy any painter who has not been a.
and will continue to do so until the Buff
falo union can not supply the demand;
300 union men are now idle in Buffalo.
