HOUSE BREVITIES.

s. D. Peterson failed, after long ser
les of attempts. to convince the house
OF the wisdom of a mental anguish law,
and his celebrated bill, involving such an
act, was numerically defeated yester-
day.
AS an indication of the burning interest
which some legislators take IN the pro
ceedings, it is interesting to note that
yesterday, when the roll of the house w as
being called, two members, emerging
from the ante-rooms, without the faint
est idea as to what was going on, m
nearing their names called, responded.
Yes: AS matter of fact there was
no bill being voted on Many bills are
passed and defeated by votes cast with
cut any knowledge by the voters of what
is really going on.
The house, in the committee of the
whole, yesterday recommended the Hick-
ey Dill. providing for the creation of a
teachers pension fund, for indefinite
postponement. The bill was supported
by 81 per cent of the teachers of St. Paul
and Minneapolis.

supports the cath Of minor who swears
mat he is of age in order to buy intoxi-

j. A. Peterson's bill allowing the old

So a month Of their pension money in
stead of ST., as the law now prescribes,
passed the house yesterday. A notable
feature of the proceedings with reference
to this measure was that all the veterans
who are members of the house, voted
against the bill They held that it would
give to the old soldiers extra spending
money which they did not need. as the
state supplies all their necessary needs
and would thus deprive their families of
this amount. Mr.. Dobbin read letter
from the wife of an old soldier at the
home, pleading for the defeat of the BILL
saying that it's passage would work an
INJURY to the families of the veterans
The majority of the house insurance
committee yesterday recommended for
indefinite poStponement the Somervi!la
bill, allowing district courts to appoint
referees in cases of disagreement over
insurance losses. 1t is said that at pres-
ent 40 out of every so losses are settled
without lawsuit, and that this bill, if
passed, would have reversed the con.
ditions, causing a lawsuit forty-nine out
Of fifty times. The house adopted the re-
port of the committee.

NOT IN PUBLISHING BUSINESS.
Minnesota Historical Company
Won't Get Any Appropriation.

The Minnesota Historical company"
which is to issue a book entitled Men Of
Minnesota will no doubt have to worry
along with their little enterprise with
out the aid of the state, as the house
committee on appropriations has recon-
mended for indefinite postponement theic
bill asking for an appropriation of 5000
for the furtherance of this work.
The book is to be q pictorial publication,
containing cuts OF prominent men of
the state, and in consideration OF the
$1,000 the promoters of the enterprise
proposed to give to the state certain
number of copies of their book, but the
committee failed to be impressed with
the feasibility, of such a transaction and
turned the proposition down fatty.
The appropriation committee welded
:ts ak to good effect, cutting off appro-
priations asked for to the, amount Of
$3.50 eco. Among these was the bill call
ing for $500 to purchase the large por-
trait Of the late Senator c. K. Davis.
The bill introduced in the house by
Mr. Finland TO appropriate SIS to L. A.
Normandine for services as assistant en-
rolling clerk in the house in 1891, was
killed by the committee, as it was decid-
e6 that to allow it would establish a
bad precedent. The committee was i'm

INDIANS VISIT GOVERNOR
CHIEF GAY-GWAY-CHE-W
ING, OF BEAR ISLAND PILLAG-
ERS, HAS GRIEVANCE
WHITES CUT GREEN TIMBER
Venerable Mah-Che-Gah-Bow Corr
rObOrates Chiefs Assertions, and
Blames Capt. Mercer, the
Indian Agent.

AT O'Clock yesterday afternoon a
picturesque scene was presented in Gov
Van SAINTS Office A delegation of five
Indians, headed by Chief Gay-gway-
Way-bin-ong, better known as RED
Blanket" of the Bear Island pillagers,
were there to ask the Great Chief of
Minnesota to aid them in securing their
rights in the matter of the cutting of
green timber. There was an interpreter
present who told the governor what the
chief was saying. The chief told his
troubles in true Indian fashion, jerking
out each sentence quickly and then
waiting while it was being rendered into
English by he interpreter He spoke
substantially as follows:
I'VE have come to visit you for the
purpose of submitting certain of our
matters to you. We have come here 10
seek your aid and to ask you to help us
IL regard to our matters at Washington
Our principle source of grievance up
there is the manner in which they. are
destroying our timber. 1t is the white
and half-breed lu1nbermen. 1 refer to
the dead and down timber. They cut
green timber and call it dead and down
timber. That is not right, and we want
what is coming to us. We need the
money"
The chief said that there was another
matter on his mind which he wanted
the governor to bring to the attention OF
the department of the interior. 1t was
with regard to the alotments of land.
He said many Indians had received allot-
ments, but they did not know where
they were. They wanted to understand
everything connected with the allot-
nents
The next spokesman was Chief Nah
he-gah-bow, aged seventy years. He
reiterated what had heen said bv Chief
RED Blankst,'' and added that in his
opinion, Capt. Mercer, the Indian agent
at Leech Lake, was one of the prime
movers in the timber cutting
Before leaving the Indians asked that
Commissioner Oar Hall be allowed tc
settle their difficulties. They believed in
him.

There are now three regiments of nine
companies each, and with the new ap-
preparation one company can be added
to each regiment. AS twelve companies
complete a regiment, it will be impos-
sible to fill out the guard to the maxi

efficiency of the troops will be materially
increased thereby, and by the time an
other such appropriation is made the
regiment may be filed out.
A very persistent effort has been de-

push this measure through, but he seems
to have met with ultimate success.

ASKS ANOTHER DAY.
Bribery Investigation Committee
Promises to Report Today.

When the reports of special commit
tees was reached on the house order yes
terday at 1910, the house resolved itself
into an attentive audience for few min
utes, expecting to hear Chairman NAL
lory, of the famous bribery investigation
committee, make his startling report.
But when Speaker Bowling asked if the
investigation committee had any report to
submit, Mr.. Mallory replied that the COM
mittee was unable to report and would
respectfully ask for further time. The
extension of time was granted, notwith-
standing the overanXiety on the part of
all the members, save perhaps two, that
the report shall be made The commit
tee will report this morning, it is stated
on good authority.
Daily the house is becoming more con-
WINGED that the committee has nothing
to report that will substantiate the
charges of bribery made by Messrs. ia
cobson and Washburn, and it will not
therefore be surprised this morning If
the report discloses this fact.
Certain members still insist that unless
the charges are sustained by satisfactory
evidence the gentlemen making them
will have to suffer the consequences.

GAR BOUNTY BILL AS COLD
FLOODED GRAFT
MEASURE GETS DEATH BLOW
Has Been Passed Twice Before and
Declared Unconstitutional
More Money for National
Guard.

''Mr. Speaker, If there has ever been
a cold-blooded, open-handed graft at
tempted upon this house certainly this is
it. l have heard something said about
leg-pulling, but If 1 was ever in doubt
as to the existence of a leg-pulllng
scheme, am no longer. All l can
say of this bill is that it represents
cold out and out steal"
Vehemently were the above sentiments
uttered by Representative finland in
reference to the Allen bill, providing for
an appropriation of $4,000 as a bounty
to a few sugar manufacturers in this
state.
j. A Peterson, of Minneapolis, who
is recognized in the house as attorney
for the sugar interests, took exceptions
to Mr.. Umlands frankness, expressed
surprise that the gentleman would talk
so. He said the theory advanced by the
st. Paul member gave him no special
alarm, for he was sure his colleague did
not understand what he was talking
about. But in his continued remarks Mr..
Peterson failed to enlighten Mr. UNI
land to the latters satisfaction, and was
also unsuccessful in convincing the house
of the meritorious character of the BILL
1t was lost on a tie vote of SIS to SIS, and
the opposition availed itself of it's parlia-
mentary privileges in putting the vote
where it could not be retaken.
The legislature, four years ago, passed
q sugar bounty act, but the state audi
tor refused to issue warrants for the
payment of the bounty holding that he
was not safe in so doing as there was
Bome question of the constltutionality
of the law Consequently the claims OF
the sugarmakers were never allowed.
Two years ago the law was re-enacted
but, owing to a decision of the attor-
hey general it has not become operative.
No money is claimed however by the
Sugarmakers during the last two years.
Now the house has declined to pass the
bill again, since its constitutionality has
been attacked and substantially proven.
The argument of Mr. Jacobson and
other who were working for the bill in
the interests of the sugar manufacturers,
prominent among whom is ex-State Sen
ator Theden, of Minneapolis, was that
the state had an obligation which should
be discharged without any regard to the
legality or constitutionality of the act.
But the house refused to accept such
argument

MAY BECOME OF MORE
VALUE THAN OIL.
Salt Water Product of Hancock
County Oil and Gas Wells.

FINDLAY, Ohio, Oct. 2S.-Salt water
from oil and gas wells has long been
the curse of Hancock county. Saltier
than the brine of the sea, it has filled
bitches, creeks and rivers and killed
the fishes; it has seeped into tho reser-
voir of the city water works, and citi-
zens have thrown the smarting saline
fluid from their washbowls; and when
lawns have been sprinkled with the
city water the grass has turned yellow,
withered up and died.
But this same salt water bids fair to
make Findlay outrival Mt. Clemens. 1t
has been found to contain in solution
medicinal properties in marked de.
gree. People who have bathed regu'
larly in it have found it an absolute
cure for gout and rheumatism.
Last week an enterprisiny firm start
ed the water as a commodity, and have
had carriers selling it from house Il
house. Many residents purchase gal
Ions of it regularly, pure aud uuadul-
terated with the city water, straigh
from the flowing wells. Producers wh,
have spent months and hundreds o
dollars in pumping off" salt waite
wells are finding market for theil
plentiful product, more valuable tha
Texas oil.
