FROM AN EDITORIAL IN 1.-THE MINNEAPOLIS TRIBUNE"

THE halo of imaginary glory that shone about
DR.. Lorenz Of Vienna when he first came TO the
United States, is pretty well dissipated, even
in the popular mind. The popular idea of him is
coming little: nearer to the exact knowledge
of the medical profession It begins to be I'M
derstood that what is called his operation for hip
dislocation did not originate with him. and that
he is not the only man who can perform 1t. The
about DR.. Lorenz and his work. but it has at
public knowledge the fact that operations of this
Kind can be performed. Thousands of parents
of afflicted children realize that they are
not beyond the reach of help. "-Minnea polls

The BoneSetter. at Hudson. Wiscon-
sin, does not claim to have discovered
''ortheopic surgery for such claim
would be absurd upon its face. But no
does claim to have greatly improved upon
it's methods, perfected the science of
specific ada ptation to each individual
case. to meet the particular requirements
Of the condition to be righted. He does
not etherize his patients or use a plaster
cast, stay. brace or other mechanical ap
pliance. With his bare hands he then
and there rights the wrong, without pain
in any case, right before the patients
eyes. He is the originator Of his method
of operating, and he is justly entitled to
make the claim. His methods, compared
to those practiced in this country by DR..
Lorenz, is what the electric light Is TO
the tallow candle. the lightning express
train is to the OK wagon, so great and
marvellous is his improvement Of the new
over the old.
The Bone-Setter, at Hudson, Wis. IS
sought daily, early and late, by crippies,
in every way crippled, from all over the
United States and Canada. His offices
are thronged with people. men. women

tients to the Bone-Setter. and a line of
carriages from the Hudson depot may
be seen drawn up in front of his office

SURPRISE AT CAPITOL
Talk of VIM. r. Morris for Liberian

From The Journal Bureau, Room 45, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, D. c., Jan. g., Re-
port that William r. Morris, Min
neapolis attorney, would be urged for the
post of consul general to Liberia, was
news to everybody in Washington. Rep
resentative Loren Wletcher told T e
J o u n a to-day that he knew nothing
about it, but now that report had been
started, and that Morris would gladly ac-
cept the position, if rendered, he would
do all he could to further the matter.
Early next week he says he will take it up
with Senators Nelson and Clapp, for it Is
a matter controlled exclusively by the
senators, and ask them to do what they
could for Morris. What the senators will
say to the request is not known, but even
if they should fall in with Fletcher's idea,
the battle would not be half won for there
are several recommendations, backed by
senators, on file at the White House and
nobody can tell what the president will
do, beyond the fact that the appointe will
be some colored man OF good standing and
ability
Morris is in fine political standing in
Minnesota and besides is respected, as a
man of intelligence and good judgment.
If the Minnesota senators think there is
any chance to land the position for him,
| it is believed they will indorse his can
! didacy. Nothing will be done, however,
until next week.

POINTS OUT A DANGER
Auditor Dunn Indicates Possibilities In
Railroad Tax Litigation.

:, State Auditor Dunn in his biennial re-
port will sound warning to the legislature
as friend Of the movement to increase
! the taxes Of the railroad companies. He
calls attention to the possibility that II the
J railroads contested the payment of a four
: per cent tax, and refused to pay any tax at
all while fighting the increase in the
courts, the states finances might be seri-
/: ously crippled. The constitution allows
the state to contract only S250,000 Of in
debtedness. There Is a provision allow
ing the state to borrow from other funds
$4,000 for the revenue fund. but these
items would not go very far toward paying
the expenses Of the state government and
the institutions.
In the two years ending July 81, 1902,
the revenue fund received from the reg
:ular levy $1,679,53S. and from railroad
taxes s3,09s.646.1S The total receipts from
ALL sources were So 600, 900 in round num-
bers. Thus the railroads paid more than
half, and the equivalent of a direct levy
of rs mills. Should the railroads refuse
to pay, an extra tax levy could not
be collected for year, leaving the state
badly crippled.
Mr.. Dunn. it is understood, will recon-
mend in his farewell report that the legis-
lature amend section $40 of the statutes
of 1896 which permits the governor and
state auditor to borrow to the amount of
100000 providing the constitution will
permit this amount to be increased over
$3.50, 900.

allowance of s15o,0oo for the purchase Of
additional land for Smelling. This amount
does not cover the cost Of the land as
fixed by the owners, but it is all that Sec

1t is understood that unless the owners
consent to take a fair price, their land
will be condemned. Condemnation pro-

instances where building lots are required
and where it has been found difficult to
find the owners. There are other cases,
however, involving an acre or more, where
the owners have demanded a high price.
When the appropriation is. made they
will be offered a fair price. After apprais-
al, if they do not accept. the governm ent
will institute condemnation proceedings.

BOLD ROBBERY IN MEAT
No Reason for the Present High Re-

R
Washington, Jan. 3.-Colonel J. H.
Brigham, assistant secretary of agricul-
ture, made remarkable statement about
the price of beef, which, he contends, is
kept at extortionate figures by artificial
means.
There is no reason why. the consumer
should be required to pay exorbitant
prices for beef now said Colonel Brig
ham, Gin view of the fact that the price
of cattle is reduced to Its normal rate.
1.-THE people have but one redress, and
that is to make a fuss about the price of
beef, and organize among themselves to
procure it direct from the producers Of
cattle. .... ~.
II am not prepared to say whether the
wholesale or retail dealer is responsible
for the high price. but this I do know,
that raisers of cattle are not getting
more than a normal. price for their beet
on the hoof. $: Il -
'1t therefore stands to reason that the
trouble lies between the wholesale and
the retail Dealers" - :s.'.:,-

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Jan. 3.-The
fine barracks building at Fort Brady was

tory in the east wing and gained rapid
Roadway when it was checked by force

The firemen were badly handicapped by
lack Of water pressure from the city stand
pipe, which should have furnished. suff-
cient water Through, accident orr neg
lect, the standpipe was apparently, about
empty, and the flames made speedy prog
ress through the building, being famed
by northeast wind. -.
Meantime the soldiers removed the fur
niture and their accoutrements from their
quarters to the grounds outside: The
building burned steadily until RACED to
the ground at Z o'clock. 1t contained the

the soldiers and was rated one Of the
best four company buildings in the United
States. It was built in 1928.

ample supply of water, and an investi-
