Grand Forks After 1t, Too.


/ Grand Forks is the latest applicant for
the state fair. The business men held
a meeting recently and resolved that they
wanted the fair and would make an eff
fort to obtain it. They offer more and
better inducements than other town. at
least so it is asserted in a communica-
ton they have forwarded to Senator Tay
| lor. . ...--...
| bill presented in the senate on the day
| of adjournment is intended to prevent
children from suffering at the hands of
distributors Of free samples Of medicine,
cosmetics, salves, etc. Frequently, SO Dr.
Taylor, who introduced the bill, says
children pick up these free samples that
are distributed from house to house, and
serious consequences result. The Dill
makes it a misdemeanor to leave these
sample packages ON the premises OF an
:, other.
Up to the time Of adjournment few bills
have been disposed Of in the two houses
Of the legislature, although over 200 have
i been introduced.
The house and senateswill meet in joint
session Wednesday to hear the represen-
tatives Of the st. Louis exposition, who
will present the matter to the assembly
and urge a liberal appropriation.
-. Forecast of Legislation.
i A forecast of legislation indicates that
;. little will be done Of a radical nature, and
not much beyond amendments of the ex-
!, listing laws. No important new legislation
; has been proposed. When the appropriaL-
ton matters are disposed Of, there will
. remain little Of Importance to do. The
, proposed constitutional amendment re-
; ducing the minimum price at which state
school lands may be sold from $40 to s.
an acre has been put to sleep in the house
i and will never be heard from again. This
, measure was proposed when the demand
for lands was light and the price low
, Now all lands in the state are in goot
demand and there is little if any Of the
state school land that will not bring the
minimum price Of $40.
Some insurance legislation will bt
passed, but nothing of radical nature
: The same is true of railroads. A new
? judicial district will be created from thu

posed, but nothing of more than passing

THE COST OF COAL
How It Increased the Death Rate of Chi


caso for January.
Chicago. Feb. 2.--Lack of coal and the
general high price of all kinds of fuel are
held to be responsible for the big increase
in the city death rate, according to the
report issued by the health department
for the month of January. The increase is
10.4 per cent over the rate for January
one year ago and ia per cent greater
when compared with the population in
1902. The report says:
This is cited because, in the Judgment
Of the health department the lack Of coal
is the principal, if not the sole cause OF
the increased death rate. A large pro-
portion Of the excess deaths is, as was
stated In the bulletin Of Jam 10, due tc
cold and exposure caused by the GOA
famine and which at that date had af-
,fected the health OF fully 10 per cent, OF
nearly 100000 Of the population of the
city" ~
