st. Paul. Feb. 2. -Yesterday was an
off day in the senate owing to good
many absentees. Five bills were in
PRODUCED of minor consequence, but no
bills were passed. The resolution to
bounce j. S. Vandiver from a clerk
ship was postponed until Tuesday, af-
ter some debate.
In the house the bill making the
state oil inspection Office a salary in
stead of a fee Office was reported IA
vorably from the committee. It is
very doubtful about it becaming law,
as "the push" are against it.
Nearly all the time of the house was
occupied in listening to arguments on
the election contest from LIE Sueur
county between Mahood (dem.) and
Blair (rep.) For once the house was
above partisanship and allowed Ma
hood to retain his seat by vote of &c
to A. Now it will be in order to APP
propriate $500 or 5000 to the contest

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-.
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science 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
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi-
monials. Address F. j. Cheney & Co., To.

Millions of Fares.

During the year just closed the gray
coated conductors employed on the
Twin City Rapid Transit company's
system raised their hands higher than
their heads, caught a leather cord,
brought it down and 'rang up" no
less than seventy million ''fares."
The aggregate of cash fares was, in
round numbers, Sc, 800, 900, and high
official of the company says that the
number of transfers was about 25 per
cent of the above number, or approx
mately 100000.
These figures are astonishing, and
show that the people of Minneapolis,
st. Paul, Saltwater and White Bear
patronize the cars quite literally. In
credible as it may seem, the cars OF
the twin cities carried nearly as many
persons as there are in the United
States, and could have carried more.

With the games last week the Indian

small averages are now near the head OF
the list Bryson, last years champion, is
one of the good bowlers who has not shown
his best form up 10 date.
The work of the Marion bowlers so far
this season has placed that team in the
front rank, where it belongs. 1t might be
said that the Marion is one of the best
teams of amateur bowlers in the country,
made up of members of one club. The
Marions made a wonderful finish for the
first series in the games last week, piIing
up scores that broke the records and to-
tails that may not be equaled again this
season.
The Capital Citys and Washingtons nave
also fought hard to stay near the top and
the Turner'S have improved their work so
much ia the last two or three weeks that
they are now considered a strong factor
for second place.
The Independent League bowlerS have
also shown improved form this season.

bowlers who are crowding hin for that
honor.

OUR FLORISTS BIG JOB.
VIII Find Difficulty in Securing Ac-
ceptance of "NatiOnaI Flower
philadelphia Times.

In Philadelphia florists are not inclined to
believe that the Florists Association of In
diana, which has just closed its annual ses-
sion at Indianapolis. will be able to carry
out it's suggestion to have the pink carna-
ton adopted as a national flower as a trib-
Cate to the memory Of President Mckinley.
This was the late Presidents favorite
flower, and ii was his custom to wear one
in the buttonhole OF his coat. Since he died
Senator Hanna and other close friends Of
the late President have been wearing pink
carnations. This is said 20 have suggested
to the Indiana florists the idea of making
il a national flower. Local flower dealers
seen by a reporter yesterday said that they
cid not think the idea practicable. David
BUST. secretary Of the Pennsylvania HOr-
ticultural Society. said:
Il do not think the suggestion can be car
red out. The Indiana men have a hard row
to hoe. They must communicate with flor
lists and horticultural associations in almost
every State in the Union before they can
get any flower adopted as a national en-
blem, and some OF these may not think the
carnatiOn is suitable. | know nothing Of
the Indiana movement as yet. 1t will proc
ably take some time TO communicate with
the various floral organizations who viii
think that they have a right to be con-
suited in maFing so important a selection.
The carnatiOn has the merit Of being a
hardy flower and a cheap flower. They sell
at from 81 to 81 a hundred wholesale. ac-
cording TO grade and variety. a good one
for the buttonhOle may be bought for 5
cents at any season OF the year.
I'm cheapness the carnation. of course.
will nave the advantage of our American
Beauty rose. which many persons suggest
ed as our national flower. But we cannot
have the rose because ii is the national
flower of England. We cannot take the
lily. for il is the national flower OF France.
But We can grow better roses under glass
than they can in England. and better lilies
under glass than they can in France In
open-air growth they can distance us. Of
course. because OF the superior climate
and because the season is longer.
81 remember that the golden rod was
once mentioned as the American national
flower. and quite a movement was started
in the East in its favor. But in some parts
OF the West they have no golden rod. and
they would not listen TO the suggestion.
ANY floral association that undertakes TO
settle upon a national flower and get the
unanimous support OF flower growers in
ALI s~ertions OF the country runs against a
formidable proposition.
