Growing Sentiment In Congress to
LenEthen the Term of Service of
House Members

There is a growing sentiment in
congress in favor of making the terms
of the members of the house four
years, instead of two as at present. 1t
is contended by many members of the
house, who claim to be disinterested,
better legislation would be the result
from such change. The house
would be more deliberate in it's ac-
ton, the members would be more like
ly to vote their convictions, and not
depend upon the senate to amend
much unwise legislation which is
pushed through the house in response
to the demand of public sentiment.
In discussing this subject, a west
ern member said: 81 have seen men,
bers tremble in their boots when called
upon to vote upon question: pending
in the house. Frequently, in defer
ence to public opinion, they were
forced to vote against their convic-
tons. The members knew that if
they did not bow to the public will
they would be turned down at the
polls at the next election.
IF a member had four years to
serve he would have time enough to
Justify himself with his constituents,
as the wisdom of his action would
become apparent. Frequently mem
bers vote against their convictions for
no other reason than that they do
not have time to square themselves
with their constituents"

EXPERT HOUSE HUNTERS.
Several Bright Women of New York
Make Their Living by Search
Ing for Homes for Others.

There are several bright women in
New York who make good livelihood
by finding flats for people. By making
it a regular profession they accumu-
late knowledge of city houses that 10
of great value. To none are they more
welcome than to nervous mothers and
busy housewives who wish to change
their residence, but dislike the prelim-
mary necessity of calling at a hundred
places in order to find satisfactory
apartment. The most successful rep
resentative of this new calling, speak
ing of her experience, said to-day:
Real estate agents are pecuniarily
interested in leasing property. and in
variably give rose-tinted views to all
applicants. Tenants themselves are
just as hard to deal with. One will not
live on block where there is saloon,
another must be within a reasonable
distance of a good public school, be-
tween which and her house there must
be no street railway. A third desires
north and south location, and a
fourth can live nowhere but in a corner
apartment.
Beyond these are the limitations re-
speeding rent, neighborhood, the prox-
unity of factories and churches, the
equipment of the building, the right to
keep dogs in the apartment, the num-
Der of children and babies in the build
ing, the presence of musicians in the
same house or next door.

Deafness Cannot De Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu.
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

st. Paul, Jan. 23.-The event of the

There was one democrat and two re-
publicans absent in the senate. MAX

communications were received from
the governor announcing that he had
made the following appointments:
Dairy and Food Commissioner-W.

ty.
Superintendent of Public instruction

In the regular house proceedings a
! lengthy bill, was introduced revising
the entire system of the state banking
laws. Another bill provides for the
codifcation of all the laws of the
state except those relating to taxation.
1t authorizes the supreme judges to
appoint commission of three to do
the work at salary of Sc. 600 year
each, and gives them two years time
to complete it.
st. Paul, Jan. 25.-The senate ses-
sion yesterday was quite brief, only
two bill being offered. One allows the
city of Owatonna to accept bequest
of $40, 900 for a kindergarten, the ex-
ecutors refusing to turn it over on the
ground that no one was legally au-
thorixed to receive it. 1t was voted to
take up the nominations sent in by
Ex-Governor Lind next Thursday, after
which the senate adjourned to 8 p. m.
Monday.
The house had considerable num-
Der of bills introduced and transacted
more business than the senate. One
of the bills was anti-cigarette and for
bids the sale or giving away of cigar
cites or cigarette paper. Another bill
gives travelling libraries an appropria-
ton of $40, 1000.
There are two contested election
cases in the house, one being Blair
(rep.) against Mahood (dem.) from LIE
Sueur county, and Deering (dem.)
against Schurman (rep.) from Ramsey
county. The LIE Sueur county case
has been taken up actively by the
committee on elections and decision
will probably be reached the coming
week. The Ramsey county case has
not yet been reached, and may never
be very seriously considered.
After the usual routine work the
house adjourned to 8 p. M. Monday.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Growth of the State.

Director Merriam has completed the
compilation of the population OF Min
nesota. and he has issued bulletin
which says:
The population of the state in 1900
is 1,751 1874, as compared with popu-
lation in 1890 of 1,301, S26, showing an
increase since 1890 of 449, 56S, or 34 5
per cent. A part of this increase is
due to the fact that there were S,2OS
Indians and 249 other persons, or a to-
tai of s, 457 persons, on Indian reserva-
tions, etc., in Minnesota, who were
specially enumerated in 1890 under the
provisions of the census act, but was
not included in the general population
of the state at that census. The in
crease of 34.5 per cent, though materi-
ally less than that of earlier decades,
represents in fact large accession to
the population of a state which has
been distinguished for its rapid growth
throughout it's brief history. Atten-
ton is particularly arrested by the in
f1ux of population this territory dur
ing the decade from 1850 to 1860, when
the number of inhabitants increased
from 6,977 to liz, 023, or 2, 730. Z per cent.
The population of Minnesota in 1900
is more than 2ss s1naes as large as that
given for 1850. the first census in which
the population of the territory, now
comprising the state, was enumerated.
The total land surface of Minnesota
is, approximately, 70, 205 square miles,
the average number of persons to the
square mile at at the censuses of 1890
being as follows: 1890, 1914; 1900, %. l..
All of the eighty-two counties in the
state have increased in population dur
ing the decade, the counties showing
more than 100 per cent of increase be-
ing Beltrami, 3,435.3 per cent; Cook,
1865 per cent; Cass, 523.7 per cent;
1tasca. 5l5.5 per cent; Hubbard, 365. 9
per cent; Lake 25S. per cent; Kanabec,
1872. 2 per cent; Pine, 1S4.9 per cent;
Millelacs, 1885 per cent, and Altkin,
1889 per cent. There are also twenty
four counties which have increased in
population more than SO per cent but
less than 100 per cent during the last
ten years.
