LOCAL MILLERS INTERESTED.

Our local millers are interested in
the passage of bill by the legislature,
granting an appropriation for chemi-
cal laboratory for the Minnesota School
of Agriculture and Experiment Sta
tion. The agricultural experiment sta
ton at ST. Anthony Park, which is part
of the state university. has made some
Investigations in regard to the unique
value of Northwestern wheat and flour
and especially of out patent grades of
-four. These Investigations have been
very much hampered because of lack
of suitable room for carrying on the
necessary chemical work. Some OF
these Investigations have been pub
lished in bulletins of the university
and the national department of agri.
culture at Washington. The expert.
ment station would be able to do g
much larger amount of work and Sc
cure more satisfactory results if il
were equipped with better laboratory.
Foreign countries are doing much in
the experimental line with benefit tt
themselves. Minnesota should keep il
the front rank, and Blue Earth county
members of the legislature should de-
their part toward making this pos
sible.

occasioned by an increased demand
and shortage in the supply. Dressed
chickens are in excellent demand and
sell at firm prices. The supply is en-
tirely inadequate to meet the demand.
The demand for turkeys is also strong.
They are selling at 10 cents per pound,
quite unusual at this time of the year.
Small butcher pigs of 140 to 100
pounds also sell readily at good prices.
Asparagus, the first of the earl y
spring vegetables, was placed on sale
in st. Paul yesterday. Six boxes were
received from California, and subse-
quent shipments will arrive until the
home market can fully meet the de-
mand. The toothsome vegeta BILE as yet
retails at So. 80 per halfdozen punches.
The spring supply of fresh vegetables
will soon be on hand, and the commits
sion firms are making every effort to
meet the demand that has arisen.

BUTTER AND EGGS.
The One is Higher, The Other Lower,
Than Last Year.

Despite the advent Of Lent and the
close oximity of Easter, the price of
eggs is two..cents lower per dozen than
last year. The demand is greater than
ever, but the supply is SO large as to
insure low prices during the entire
spring season. Storage eggs have been
pushed off the market, as the warm
weather has brought in fresh eggs
earlier than usual, says the st. Paul
Pioneer Press.
Owing to the warm weather last
December the stock in storage was
drawn on but little, and it has been
possible to secure fresh eggs at rea-
sonable price during the entire winter
The large stock of storage eggs thus
held in reserve has kept prices lower
than for some years past. Butter,
however, is higher than last year, as
the demandshas,, increased greatly, and
the high standard of Minnesota butter
gives it ready market at excellent
pricess.in the East.
The farmers are pleased with the
advance of prices for their produce,

| over Jne IsCC JnaG some cn1Idren ARE
unable to pay for vaccination and are
debarred from the schools. The mat
ter had been brought to the attention
OF the city council, but it had done
nothing. The society had furnished
some of these children with books.
President Davis said that it was a
legal question whether the board could
appropriate money to pay for having
children vaccinated. He could not
answer it.
Supt. Uline said that he doubted the
report on the street that thirty child
rem are kept out of school on this &C
count. No such number had been I'M
able to buy books. At the last meet
ing he had reported thirty-three out,
but these included those whose parents
are opposed to vaccination.
Mr.. Fletcher thought that the board
would be justified in paying for the
vaccination of those who are unable to
do so.
Mr.. Coughlan said that unvaccinated
children are permitted to enter the
normal school.
Supt. Uline replied that the normal
school has encouraged vaccination
but has not enforced it, as the school
board had done.
DR.. Webster said that he could con-
ceive of very few children who stay
out of school because they cannot
afford to pay. for vaccination. If there
are any, the county physician was the
proper person to apply to, but that
official is not paid more than half
what he ought to be. The board would
establish a precedent if it paid for
vaccinating children, and if this is
not thrown on the county the school
board will at some other time have an
army of children to vaccinate By
sending them to the county physician
only the actual INDECENT ones would
receive free treatment. He had been
county physician and he knew how
this was.
Mrs Smith said that the health off
Ger had vaccinated four free of charge,
but refused to do any more. Three
other children have been reported as
unable to pay for vaccina tion.
DR.. Webster said that there is no
physician who is not willing to vac
cinate three or four children free.
On motion of Mr.. Coughlan, the
president was authorized to appoint
committee of three to have the child
rem vaccinated where the parents are
unable to pay for it. The committee
appointed Consists of Messrs. Cough
Ian, Fletcher and Webster.
Samples of different systems of slant
writing were submitted and the mat
ter of selecting system was referred
to the committee on text books, on the
recommendation of the superintendent.
Mr.. Uline was called upon for a re-
port as to what had been done in the
case of the three boys who had been
suspended from the high school He
that they had complied with
the conditions imposed and had been
received back. The three best boys
and hardest workers in the school
are now these three young men.
The members Of the board expressed
their qualification, and there being no
other business adjournment was had.

There is more catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together
and until the last few years supposed to be in
durable. For great many years doctors pro,
nounced it local disease, and precribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment pronounced it incurable. Sci;
ence has proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and, therefore, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure. manufactured
by f. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood and mucous

A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

The question of submitting to the
people OF the state the question of the
advisability of holding con stitu-
tional convention will not down, not
withstandino it uaa tt1rned dnur, in
matter is still being talked more or less
through the state, and is receiving
more or less attention from members
of the legislature. The Minneapolis
Journal presents the following argu
ments which were put forth in behalf
of a convention, which we here repro
duce for the benefit of our readers,
and it must be admitted that several
of them at least are deserving of more
than passing attention:
Is it wise to promote forestry in
Minnesota by exempting from tax
alton for term of years lands devoted
to tree-growing2
Does any village or city wish to en-
courage local manufactures by ex-
empting them to some extent from
local taxation?
Does any one think there should be
some limit placed upon the amount
of extensive church property which
shall be exempt from taXation2
Do any large number of the people
think it well to give the Legislature
some disc retion, either much or
little, in the matter of taxation? In
other words, has not the rule of uni
formity of taxation been hindrance
rather than necessary limitation of
legislative power?
Is there not general conviction that
the state should reserve itself fuller
control over the exercise of franchises
by corporations2
Should there not be some increase in
the extent of liability of stockholders
in corporations2
Are not the large cities embarrassed
by the present constitution in framing
and adopting charters suitable for
their especial local uses?
Is it not desirable to give to all
, municipalities larger measure of
home rule?
Would it not be we'll to establish
the rule of periodical conventions SO
!, that the peoples delegates can ex-
anime and scrutinize the constitution,
discover it's defects, if any exist, and
correct them2
1t is set forth, and there is no deny
ing the weight of the argument, thai
the best consi deration of these ques-
tions can be had in a convention called
for that particular purpose.

POLITICAL TALK.
Still the Popular Subject For
Conversation,
More Interest Taken in the MayoraIty
Than all Other Offices Put
Together.

Three weeks from next Tuesday the
election will come off, and the conven-
tions will be held in about ten days
Political interest is now at it's height,
and the mayoralty overshadows ali
the rest. Matters are still in a some
what chaotic state as regards both
parties. The Republicans have two
p ronounced candidates, Aid. Meyer
and Col. johnson, with one in the back
ground, Ed. Bradley, still undeter-
mined whether to enter the race or
not.
On the part of the Democrats, one
element wants to endorse the Republi-
can nominee in order to make Mayor
| Currier's defeat certain, and another
| element would like to put up Fred
Kron or some other strong man. The
former faction, if it cannot succeed in
endorsing the Republican nominee,
would like to see Mic Petersen mayor,
but would be willing to support Mr..
Kron.
Mayor Currier has announced his
| willingness to take another term if
such should be the wish of the people,
and the petitions that would place his
! name on the ballot are known to be
ready for circulation.
This is the situation as it is today,
and it is for the people to make up
their minds which they prefer of the
men named or to bring forward some
body else. Personally, all are excellent
men, but do not stand on exactly the
same platform.
There is a demand in some quarters
for a mayor who will favor spending
more money in municipal improve
ments, regardless of reducing the float
ing debt. Some of these same people
were for debt reduction two years ago.
Alex Bashaw has been talked of by
First ward Republicans for alderman
and has been offered influential Demo-
cratic support, but he wishes it known
that he does not desire the nomination
and would not accept the office if
elected. This is unfortunate, for Mr..
Bashaw filled the office once with gen.
eral satisfaction, and would have done
so again had he not re fused,
Severn Hallstrom has been men
toned as very likely aldermanic tim
winner ii he would consent to run.
Chas. Jessup's friends are mention
ing him for alderman from the Fourth
ward. He is a first class citizen and
level headed.
A Peoples caucus will be held at
Frank Wilde's blacksmith shop in
North Mankato tomorrow, Friday, eve
ming, March Sth, at 7 80 o'clock for the
purpose of nominating ticket Tol
village officers for North Mankato tt
be voted for at the village election tc
be held on Tuesday, March 18th.
There is a feeling growing in favol
of the primary election law. Were i
in force now, the voters could expires
their wishes for mayor at the caucuse
directly and not through set of dele
gates who might favor persons TO
other Offices that the voter does no
wish.
