AN OLD PAPER.

W. J. Morehart has exhibited at our
Office a copy of 1.-The Indiana State
published at Indianapolis
April "a, 1851. 1t was preserved by his
father-i n-law, the late A. A. Butler,
who was an old soldier and resided in
Indiana, Some of the contents are of
considerable interest at the present
day.
One item from Burlington, Iowa,
says that on April 9Th twelve inches
of snow fell.
Gen. Scott was being talked about
as candidate for president. One
item reads as follows:
"John Van Buren,, Barnbur-
ner, and William 81. Sweard,
Woolly- head, have both written
letters to the Abolition Convention in
Boston, denouncing the Fugitive Slave
Law"
The paper publishes two columns
headed SPY Magnetic Telegraph, g."
containing dispatches from various
cities One from Boston is brief, and

Treasures Object.

st. Paul, Feb. I'D. @. Bell, treas
urer of Hennepin county, opened the
discussion of the tax bill before the
house committee yesterday. He stated
the objections of the county treasurers,
formulated at their recent meeting.
He protested first against the section
providing for the collection of delln-
quent taxes by the county treasurer
This work, he said, was proper for the
sheriff's office, and it took the treas
urer and his deputies out of the office
when they should be there to attend to
the public.
His principal objection, however,
was to the section requiring tax state
ments to be made out by the county
auditor. He said this would require
three times the present labor and
would swamp the treasurer's Office IN
/ May, when they are now worked to
the utmost extent People were salts
( fed with the present system of paying
taxes. and there was no demand for a
change. 1t would make it impossible
! for him to handle collections by mail
! J. A. Peterson took issue with Mr..
Bell, and lively colloquy followed as
| to the effect of the law. AS far as the
expense is concerned, Mr.. Roberts con-
! tended that it would be small Tri-
nIicate statements could be made out
with carbons, and the printing would
be no heavier than at present. Mr..
Peterson developed the fact that the
change is Endorsed by the auditors OF
| the state. Mr.. Bell said that was nc
doubt true, but he saw no necessity
for greater check on the treasurer.
E. J. Metzdorf, county treasurer Of
Ramsey, followed along the same line
of the new law with regard to refund
ments were proper.
/ Under the present law said Mr.
jacobson, ".does it not cost 300 pei
cent for the sheriff to collect persona
taxes?"
Eyes, that is true, but under thu
new law you would have to pay thu
treasurer mileage, just the same. -
Auditor Brooks of Renville county
said that under the present law tn
county auditor had absolutely no checl
on the treasury. This check was fur
nished by the new law. He did not Sc
/, what need there was for check on tn
auditor, who handles no money. Th
new law makes the auditor liable OF
his bond for mistakes. Mr.. Brooks di'
not believe the new law would caus
any greater expense in most counties
: where the practice now is to max
three copies of all receipts
. Auditor Olson of Lake county, stoo'
| for 5000 exemption on personal pro
, perty and for the abolition of the ia,
on mortgages. He discussed the pro
posed machinery and recommended
numerous changes in the details OF tn
law.

briefly this afternoon on the constitu
; tional amendments.

WANT 1T REPORTED
House Anxious to Get Hold OF
the Tax Bill.
Will Probably Be Reported the First
of the Week, and Probably With
out Recommendation.

st. Paul, Feb. 15.-House members
who favor tax bill do not want 1T
delayed in committee. Now that hear
ings are finished, they demand speedy
report.
Mr.. Haugland offered a resolution
yesterday calling for report not later
than next Monday. Mr.. Laybourn,
leader of the opposition, gave notice OF
debate, and the resolution went over
until today under the rules
Today il is expected that the com
mittee will reach a showdown on the
bill. All interests with objections have
been head. Farmers have been heard
through petitions, and many have
ayailed themselves Of the invitation
extended by the house. So far as any
one knows, today's session concluded
the hearings.
Today the house committee will
probably vote on the bill. Its friends
in the committee are DESTROYS to get
the measure before the house as soon
as possible, and are not particular
about the method. Its opponents in
i the committee will try motion to de-
| fer it to the next session. The other
side will maintain that the house has
already voted to make it special or
der and that the bill must be reported
out in some form.
| II NAV be done in two way. The
committee will not recommend 1T for
passage in its present form. 1t VIII
either amend the bill TO meet the prln-
cipal objections, or report it out with
out recommendation, and let the
amendments be made on the floor OF
the house. The feeling just now seems
! to favor the latter course. Every ques-
ton will be settled by the house even
tuaIly, and it will only be waste OF
! time for the committee to work over
the amendments
A majority of the committee is taV'
orable to the passage of tax bill al
this session, and will probably agree
to this program.
Both house and senate held brief ses
sions yesterday. The important fea
ture of the senate session was the
passage of Il. F. 10, by S. D. Peter
son. releasing Colonel Joseph Bobletel

of opposition, but was expected &c

st. Paul, Feb. 15.-The daily consti-
tutional amendment appeared in the
house yesterday. 1t was introduced by
Mr.. Wallace of Hennepin, and en-
bodies the suggestions made yesterday
by State Auditor Dunn as to exemp-
tions.
The bill amends sections 1, 3, of
article 8 of the constitution. The
first section provides that "the power
of taxation shall never be surrendered
or suspended. 1t then includes the
provision for levying assessments for
improvements, for an inheritance tax,
either graded or progressive, for an
income tax not over per cent, and for
a tax on mortgages not to exceed l
per cent.
Section 8 recapitulates the present
exemptions, and adds household goods
of the head of a fanny to the amount
TO $3.50, deposits in banks to the
amount of $500. and all bonds issued
by the state or any subdivision there
of.
Section authorizes the legislature
to apportion to the counties the reve-
nue. to be raised for state purposes, and
to provide for apportioring state and
county taxes to cities, villages, town
ships.
The bill was referred to the judi
ciary committee, which has not met to
consider the question of amendments,
but is waiting until the hearings on
the code are finished.
Mr.. Umland of Ramsey sent to the
clerks desk copy of an article print
ed in the st. Paul News, Feb. 10. 1t
declared that the Legislature was not
doing anything but draw it's II oney,
that it had only been in session three
hours and twenty minutes, but that
the clerks doctored the records to make
it appear that more time was put in.
Mr.. finland offered resolution de-
claring the article an Impeachment of
the integrity of the house and deny
ing the privilege of the floor to the
representative of the paper.
The house treated the article and the
resolution as joke. On a rising vote
no one voted for it but Mr.. finland
and his two neighbors DR.. Hemstead
and q. w. Armstrong. Only dozen
rose to vote against it. ~
James A. Peterson moved that the
resolution be expunged from the re-
cords. Mr.. Umlsnd protested, and de-
clared the article reflection on the
house and its officers which deserved
rebuke. The Peterson motion finally
prevailed.
The first request from the governor
met with rather harsh reception. It
came with bill introduced by J. A.
Peterson giving the state treasurer
money to employ stenographer. Mr..
Peterson asked suspension of the
rules to put the bill on the calendar.
Mr.. Roberts appeared as champion
Of the house rules and declared that
motion to supsend the rules was not in

unfailingly the condition of her health.
"One can tell at q glance if she is well
or not and usually one can tell what the
trouble is. Upon parents rests a. great
responsibility at the time their daughters
are budding into womanhood. If your
daughter is pale, complains of weakness,
is tired out upon the slightest exertion,
If she is troubled with headache or back
ache, pain in the side, if her temper is
ftfu and her appetite poor, she is in a
condition Of extreme peril, a fit subject
for that most dreaded of all diseases,
consumption. If you notice any of these
