made man, cutting out his own path
way to high place among the promi-
nent and successful men of the nation.
He has left behind him q brilliant
record as a man and statesman and
q stainless name as heritages. For
twenty-five years he served the state
of Maine in congress, occupying the
speakers chair several terms. It was
in this position that he became fam
GUS because of his rulings when the
minority party attempted to block the
progress of legislation. It required an
iron will to perform this service and
Mr.. Reed demonstrated that he pos
sessed such an admirable quality.
Mr.. Reed was ambitious to become
the Republican party's presidential
nominee, but in this he was defeated,
but defeat did not sour that happy
disposition which had made him pop
ular among his fellow men. His re-
tirement to private life did not oblit-
crate his name from tn public mind.
At his death Mr.. Reed was yet in
the prime Of life, he being but sixty
three years of age.

REVISE THE GAME LAWS.

There's tempest in teapot down
in the city of Fairmont. W. G. T. q.
ladies served venison with meals at
their rest room. The hotel keepers be-
came indignant. forced the sheriff of
the county to swear out warrant for
the arrest Of the ladies on the charge
of violating the game laws.
It appears from statement made
by one of tbs ladies that the sheriff
had given his, word that no trouble
would follow the serving of the veni-
son, but the ladies advertised that
the sweet meat would be on sale and
the hotel keepers made the complaint.
"Drat'' upon the game laws. Hundreds
of deer being slaughtered by wolves
and the state makes it q crime to
shoot them after a certain date.
Again it is crime to serve the meat
at hotel or restaurant. The legis-
lature at the next session should
have the stamina to resist. the gun
clubs of the state and revise the game
and fish laws SO that the man who il
unable to hunt can enjoy little game
at q meal as well as his more fortu.
nate neighbor.

WOLF BoUNTIES.

Constant Reader" seeks informs-
ton relative to the wolf bounty. Dur
ing January, February, March, April
and May the bounty on a full grown
female wolf is $l5; at any other time
OF year. So; for full-grown male at
any time of year S.; female cub, any
time of year 81: male cub, at any
time of year, 50. The captor of the
wolf takes the carcass to the clerk Of
the town board, makes affidavit that
he slew the animal. The clerk makes
affidavit to the county auditor, who
issues warrant in payment of the
bounty. One-third of the amount is
taken from the county fund and two
thirds is refunded by the state. There,
is no money in the fund of Blue Earth
county at the present time to pay the
bounty. There ia no fox bounty.
Legislators feel that the wolf bounty
paid is sufficient. Too large a fee might.

law that the books selected shall not
be changed for at least three years,
and that before any books are selected
or any contract entered into with
the publishers for the same, schedule
of prices and samples of books shall be
placed with the superintendent of
public instruction. The latter require
ment was no doubt intended to pro-
vide uniformity in prices and quality
of books selected for use throughout
the state.
The authority conferred upon school
boards to select books for the schools
under their control, must be employed
in strict accordance with the pro-
visions of the act There is no author
ity of law for the selection or adop-
tion of school books by boards of
trustees, except that which is confer
red by the acter ferred to. The law
contemplstes that any action upon the
part of the school board. whether in
the form of selection, adopted or
contract, shall be for not less than
three years or more than FIVE. These
three words should be read together
and construed to mean an agreement
between the board of trustees and the
publisher to use certain books for a
certain time at q given price.
In answer to your question, there
fore, my opinion is, that if the books
selected cover the subject, they should
be used to the exclusion of all others.
for the time named. If other books on
q given subject are required, selec-
tions and contracts may be made in
conformity with the law and in &C.
cord with the prior action Of the
board, in force.

be drawn between the words, "select,

Third. The authority conferred up.
on the board Of trustees to select and

LAW GOVERNING TEXT BOOKS.

In response to an inquiry from State

must the books selected, adopted or

sion Of all other books in the same
subjects for three or five years. as

boards of trustees and boards of edu-
cation to "select, adopt or contract"
for books needful for use in schools,
are the boards of trustees and boards
of education bound to keep the books
for the period Of years named In law.

Charles v. Eaier, the vice chancei Tor oI the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Fireuea af AueIiCa, Of Parsons, Kan sas, v2s in u Paso this week, and 10 a Times reporter gave some interest ing data concerning the position Of th2 order toward the various labor prob lens which confront the world to-day, his position upon strikes being par. ticula.H significant. Said he:
 Nothing in the labor world today is so great Q failacy as the idea that organized labor means a disposition to maintain strife between employer and employe. between labor and capital. The one depends on the other, and without the one the other could not exist. Yet, the general impression prevails that all we think about is 10 organize a strike and to get as many sympathizers as possible when one is organized. Our position has always been that there is nothing so positively foolish and insane as striking.
 Tn the history oI the BroIherhooI of Locomotive Firemen's existence there have been but two strikes in twenty-nine years, and one of them cost the railroad company s11.O0O,0O' to fight"
 MT. Maier also denounced catch penny devices and gambling. He said that his order inculcated in all it's members the fallacy of getting some thing for nothing, and had been sue cessful in conquering the gambling spirit in most of its membership. He also denounced intemperance, saying that sobriety was the only true course for laboring men to pursue.
 "Particular stress is laid upon this point" said he, 'and our men ars taught by every possible precept to lay something aside for the rainy day and to spend every cent that they pos sibly can in the education of their chil dren and the betterment of their fam flies"
