Richard Kemp Kills Ebert Mat.
thews Monday Evening.

Monday evening Richard Kemp
shot and killed Ebert Matthews
in Caldwell county, n short dist
ance from Shady Grove. The men
had not been on good terms for
some time, and the killing was the
result of the bitter feeling exist
ing between them. Kemp had
Matthews arrested on some trivial
charge and Matthews escaped from
the officer and went to the home
of Kemp. He met the latter and
began shooting. Kemp ran into
his residence and secured shot
gun and revolver, returned and be-
gan shooting at Matthews. He
used his weapon with deadly effect
killing Matthews instantly. Both
men are farmers and we'll known
in the Shady Grove neighborhood.

Referring to the attempt to cut the
legislative session short fifteen or
twenty days the Pioneer Press doubts
whether in the present state of bust
ness it can be done and says that after
all more money might be lost by hasty
legislation than would be saved by
shortening the session. And it further
remarks that the tax commission may
need the entire two years to do it's
work and make it thorough. Both of
these propositions may be true. The
first one undoubtedly is. But with a
month ahead of it before the date on
which adjournment has been proposed,
it does not seem as though there was
any good reason why every important
measure before both houses should not
receive due consideration and be acted
upon. 1t is simply matter of whether
the members will take hold of the
work in business like way. Of course
it will need somewhat longer sessions
than has heretofore been the rule, but
the members of both houses are COM
ing to that. 1t will also have to give the
same attention to legislative matters on
Saturday and Monday, as are devoted
to them no other days of the week.
But that is what the members are paid
for, and having accepted the place they
ought to be willing to attend strictly
to business. Possibly the tax commits
sion may not be able to report within
year. If not then there would be
no need of an extra session, and the
effect of the short session with much
important business transacted at less
expense would stand to the advantage
of the Republicans, and prove most
valuable precedent.

A BROKEN PIPE.
Stewart & Holmes Store Flooded With
Water.

Stewart & Holmes book and station
cry store received drenching Tues
day night, owing to break in a water
pipe in some vacant apartments on the
second floor of the building. Prof.
J. R. Brandrup was going by and
heard water splashing down from the
ceiling and notified Night Waterman
Mcdonald. julius Doxey notified Mr.
Stewart, and he and others assiste d in
moving cases and tables out of the
way. Many barrels of water came
down, damaging some of the goods and
putting the firm to good deal of in
convenience. Had the leak not been
discovered when it was and prompt
notice given the firm the loss would
have been much greater.
Stewart & Holmes estimate the
damage to their stock at 800, and
carry no insurance that covers such a
loss Their stock of tablets suffered
most. The firm feels very thankful to
Mr.. Doxey and all others who assisted.

The Minneapolis Journal is authority
for the statement that the names of II.
w. Childs of st. Paul, G. S. Ives of
St. Peter, and Chas. S. Jelly of Min
neapolis, have been virtually decided
upon as members of the new tax COM
mission created by the Legislature and
that their selection will be officially
announced as soon as Attorney General
Douglas returns from Washington. 1t
further states that place on the COM
mission was offered to Judge D. A.
Dickinson of Duluth, but he declined
it. The gentlemen named are all well
known lawyers of high standing and
will make strong commission. The
work before them is of most difficult
nature, but the governor, auditor and
attorney general seem to have made a
good start in their selection in solving
the problem of securing an equitable
tax code.

Faithful Railroad EmplOye Placed on

Disability Roll.
When the gates were put in at Rock
street, Edward Lawler was thrown out
of his position as fagman at the cross
ing. There was no other work that he
could do, and his age and infrmities
prevented him from working at the
gates. When the pension system re-
Gently went into effect on the Chicago
& North Western system, he applied
for pension, reciting his thirty-six
years service for the road.
.Agent G. E. johnson Tuesday received
the following bearing on Mr.. Lawler' 6
case, from Superintendent W. D.
Cantillon of Winona
Referring to the application made
by Edward Lawler, beg to advise that
at the meeting of the pension board
it was decided they could not place
Mr. LAWYERS name on the pension roll.
However, our officials have decided to
place his name on the disability roll
for $14 per month. Draft will be sent
to this office each month and will then
be forwarded to you for Mr.. Lawler. -
Mr.. LAWYERS friends will be glad to
know that he will get something, as
his long and faithful service deserves.

A PROPOSED EXCHANGE.
Suggestion Looking to Obtaining Cor
ner Lot for the Library.

The suggestion has been made that
when the city has secured title to the
Wampler property it effect an exchange
of the vacant north half with @. A.
Chapman and Robt. Bradley, who own
the lot on the corner just south. Mr..
Chapman's property is 105 feet deep
and it may not be necessary to OBJ
tain Mr.. Bradley's property. This
would give the public library corner
on. Walnut street, which would be far
better location than an inside lot,
and would place the building little
nearer the center of population. Mr..
Chapman's residence is a frame one
and could be swung around onto the
other lot without much trouble. If
an exchange can be effected on reason
able terms, it is to be hoped that this
will be done. Mr.. Chapman property
adjoins- the Wampler lots, so that the
lot with the Wampler house on would
be retained, only the vacant one be.

MADE HIM WEALTHY.

A Duluth special to the st. Paul
Dispatch, giving the names of some of
the lucky holders of the Rockefeller
stock who have been made wealthy by
the rapid advance of Lake Superior
Consolidated Iron mine stock, contains
the following:
"Among those who believed in the
ultimate value of the stock was A
zimmerman, for many years resident
here, but now of Mankato. He had
lived in the oil country, and believed
that Rockefeller was taking hold of
the iron mines to make something of
them. He accumulated 1. 500 shares,
and though he later lost all of his
money and was scrimped for the
necessities of life, he hung on to the
stock. Today he can clean up $3.50,
0OO."
No such name can be found in the
city directory.

A NEW COURSE.
A Substitute for the c Class Supplied at
the Normal School.

At a recent meeting of the state nor
NAL board some changes were made in
the courses of study of the normal
schools with view of making these
schools more helpful to the rural school
interests Of the state than they have
been able to be of late.
Two years ago the normal board
abolished the @ classes of three of the
schools, and the elementary course in
all of them, making the requirements
of admission higher than they had
been and leaving only the long five
years course open to those who might
wish to secure normal training. The
work of the G class had included only
the common branches and a very
large number of students had come to
the normal schools for this work. and
had then gone out into rural schools
able to do fairly good work through
this training in the staple subjects of
rural school instruction. In the courses
adopted in 1899 the common branches
were put into the later years of the
course, with the result that rur al
school teachers could not take the
work to advantage in the short time
that many of them could spend at a
normal school.
The G class and the elementary
course have not been restored by the
recent changes, but new and shorter
course, to be known as the certificate
course, has been established. All the
subjects required for first class GER
ifcate are included in this course, and
others valuable for teachers, for
terms of professional work, botany,
zoology, music, drawing, rhetoric and
literature. To those who complete
this course a certificate mot diplomat
will be given, which the legislature is
expected to legalize as first grade GER
tiicate good for three years
Better facilities will now be offered
for special work in the common
branches, as these have been put into
the early part of the course.
The subjects in the new course are
so nearly parallel with those of the
regular English course that students
who shall have completed the short
course can come back and be received
to regular standing in the fourth year
of the full course.
The requirements for admission have
been modified by the omission of
physiology. Candidates for admission
must now present second grade state
certificates or certificates on the state
high school board in arithmetic, gra M
mar, geography and United States
history, or pass satisfactory examina-
tions in these subjects.

Mosquitoes.

That cosmopolitan pest, the mos
quito, does not necessarily perish with
the oncoming of winter On the con-
trary, mosquitoes have been observed
in the latitude of Washington to hiber-
nate, adult specimens living from
November until the succeeding April
or May with all their powers of tor
ment unimpaired, although their &C
tivity is suspended in winter. The
mosquito needs but little food, and it
is the female that thirsts for blood, the
males contenting themselves with
water and vegetable fluids. DIR. How
ard ascribes the fact that mosquitoes
are often found upon dry prairies many
miles from water to the longevity OF
the adults of certain species, which
enables them to survive seasons OF
drouth. Railroads have been respon-
sible for the transportation of mosqui
toes into regions where they were pre-
viously rare. Their power of flight il
not great, and it is believed that they
are not distributed far through the
agency of winds.

The state senate has adopted reso-
luton to adjourn April 9th and the
house will doubtless concur, as it was
agreed in the caucus Monday night
that the jacobson gross earnings tax
bill should be brought to a vote, as also
the bill providing for board of con-
troll. Saturday and Monday sessions
will now probably be in order, and the
work of the session will now doubtless
be pushed forward Senator Wilson
stirred up the caucus by a strong
speech in which he said that an early
adjournment could easily be reached
if the members would go 10 work. Up
to date he said the legislative sessions
had not lasted over an hour day and
the members had not earned 80 per day
nor even 49, 80. If they had properly
applied themselves they would now
have their work cleared up instead of
being overwhelmed with it. 1t is said
that his remarks had much to do in
clearing the atmosphere and bringing
the members to their senses as to the
real duties which are before them.

MADISON LAKE ARRESTS.

Sheriff Gerlich went to Madison
Lake Tuesday and served warrant
for the arrest of Geo. Allyn and his
son. on the charge of maintaining a
fish house on the ice in violation of the
law for the protection of game and
fish. The two parties agreed to ap-
pear in the municipal court in this
city on Friday. These arrests are the
outcome of the resistance which the
senior Allyn made when Game Warden
Bennett started to burn his fish house
after having notified him to move it.
Mr.. Bennett concluded not to take
him for resisting an officer. The AL
lyns have retained attorneys in this
city and threaten to fight the case.

The river and harbor bill failed and
in some ways it may not be bad
thing that it did. But nevertheless
Senator Nelson of this state, who had
charge of it in the senate, added tc
his reputation in the manner in which
he handled it in that body, and secured
the pairing down SO that the total
amount called for in immediate and
contracted appropriations came within
the sum of $40, 600, OOO or a sum con,
siderably less than it provided fol
when it left the house. The senator
has made good record this session
and will be one of the prominent
figures of that body during his next
term.

AMONG STATE EXCHANGES.

The Fergus Falls Journal is pleased
with the proposal of President North
rop as one of the commissioners for
the ST. Louis fair and says it is fit
ting recognition of very worthy
man. He has rendered the state great
service during the times he has been
atsthe head of the university, and this
honor, which will in no wise affect his
services there, issswell bestowed.
If anything has s~ever fallen fatter

Thesgoddess of justice which sits or

blind but deaf.
While the business of the session
could undoubtedly be finished in sixty
days of real work, says the Winona Re-
publican and Herald, in commenting on
the move for an early adjournment of
the Legislature, the per diem will
hold out for ninety days plus Sundays
and holidays, and the session wi IL I'M
doubtedly be protracted until the pay
stops Even in these prosperous times
S. day is not to be sneezed at, es-
pecially when it comes as easy as it
does for the large majority of the
Legislators.
The Renville Star Farmer hopes the
newly created tax commission may
evolve plan whereby the tax dodger
will meer his Waterloo. The richer a
person is the more reason why he
should bear is full burden of taxation
to keep out schools and other institu-
tions up. Because a person or corpor-
alton pays good sized tax it says, is
no sign he pays all he should in pro-
portion to that Of his poor neighbor
whose tax NAV be small but really
more of burden to him than to the
other fellow. Equality of taxation, or
strictly speaking, the finding of all
property to list for taxation will be the
most difficult problem to solve. At
present those of moderate means bear
the heaviest burden of taxation.
The Redwood Gazette and Marshall
News Messenger are both opposed to
the oil inspector salary bill and the
latter expresses the belief that the
measure is unconstitutional. This leads
the Madison Independent-Press to re-
mark that sit occurs to us that divert
ing $50, 900 from the treasury of the
Republican state central committee
during the next two years and placing
it in the state treasury would result
benefcially to the tax payers of the
state to the extent of $50, 900. As to
the constitutionality of the act we
had much rather have the supreme
court pass upon that phase of the
question than to rely upon the edi-
torial opinions of the Gazette and
News Messenger.

The Minneapolis Journal says that
truce has been fixed up in the reap
portionment matter and that the COM
mittee bill will go through in spite of
the opposition Of Hennepin county.
The agreement reached puts Redwood
county into the second district, and
puts Waseca county back into the first
district. This arrangement is said to
satisfy Senator Somerville and Repre-
sentative Larson, and will bring them
and their friends over to the commit
tees bill and it is claimed that the
measure will go through without any
severe contest, as was first expected.
Under this arrangement Blue Earth
