legal rate of interest from IL to 10 per
cent. II
Representative Nelson made an excel
lent chairman of the committee of the
whole yesterday. Like the other Trail
county members, he is strictly all right.
Winslow's bill to repeal the law for an
estray paper touches Editor Tuttle's
pocket about $500. and the mar from
Griggs county is in danger of-well,
something. awful.
MI. Kennedy the old veteran in charge
of one of the house cloak rooms, is the
most accommodating ever His cheer
fulness is perennial and he has become
one of the popular members of the house
force. s- =
Editor de la Bere will arrive Saturday.
He comes early, it is said, in order to
break up any corners Kent, Seaman,
Frank Mcdonald, Gaulke, Galbraith,
or Col. Brown may have secured on the
girls for the press ball Tuesday evening.
Mike is a whirlwind. .
Representative Brisbin has his Ratchet
out for the peddlers' license bill as it
passed the senate and predicts it will
never become a law in it's present shape.
The committee made a majority and
minority report on the bill and a fight is
or for today, probably. 80.
Chief Clerk Seaman e%ntertains about
fifty callers a day since hehas been sick.
He was feeling so much better last night
that he hoped to be at his desk this af-
ternoon. The fair sex have almost filed
his room with cut, flowers, and delicacies
OF all kinds have been showered upon
him.
It was kind of mean in Tufte to call
Bacon to order, and by insisting on his
point intimate that Jerry's discourse was
not as valuable as other matters before
the house. 1t il the first time a member
has been shut off in talk, and shows
small love lost between the west and
east sides of Grand Forks. county.
Editor George Wilson hears from
Minot that the fellow, he left to run his
paper has "got religion" and as none Of
that ever got into the forms before ithas
made trouble all around. He has it in
for the wicked of that city and is larrup-
ing the ungodly but best paying patrons
of the paper, and Mrs. George may have
to call in the police to keepsthe prayers
out of the editorial column.
A misinformed editor who evidently
has a grudge against Representative
Anderson prints a vile SANDER to the eff
feet that Mr.. Anderson has introduced a
bill to divert part of the school funds to,
sectarian purposes. It is an unjust as
sault on a hard working member of the
house, as Mr.. Anderson has not present
ed such a bill and says the churches
down his way are. well able to go along
without school money.
Packard warmly defended the present
hobo law in the house yesterday. He
called attention to the fashion of fighting
everything railroads asked fol, and doubt
ed if any of the members would vote
against a bill for the arrest of men fore
IDLY riding on stages, street cars, etc.
There had been only one arrest at Man
dan since the law went into effect and
the county had not gone broke yet. He
deprecated the talk that the law pre-,
vented honest farm laborers from com
ing into the state; as honest 1aborers had
money to pay fare in and out, and the
Legislature should not endorse such talk
by repeating the law.
Representative Galbraith madeJ his
maiden speech in the house yesterday
against the passage of the exemption
bill. He ID a fluent talker, has & ready
command of words and pleasing pres
ence. He said the passage of the bill

had waited for someone to advance some
sound reasons which would warrant his
voting for the bill, but none had been
advanced and he was determined to vote
against the measure, believing il for the
best interests of his constituents.It
had been argued~that low exemptions
