NEARING BLAGKSyILLE
Are Surveyors Who are Working for
the baltimore Il Ohio.

The fact that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company has had its
surveyors in this county for some
weeks, and that much time has been
given survey from Eighty -Four
through this place, may give some
credence to the published report
from Morgantown that that road
is to build a competing line through
this county to Fairmont, with the
Wabash, says the Waynesburg In.
dependent. South of Waynesbarg
the B & 0. survey is following as
closely as it can the surveyed route
of the Wabash. At a point south
the b. d o. makes a straight line for
Blacksmith, and the surveyors that
have been working here for some
time, are nearing that point with
their work,

HUMAN THOUGHT CENTER.
Dr.. Darling Lectures on the Brain Be-
fore BIOLOGICAL Club.
From Wednesdays Daily.

DR.. w. H. Darling of the state hospi-
tai, st. Peter, leetured yesterday after
noon before the Biological club at the
normal school on the human BRAIN He
brought with him two brains, one of
which had been removed but few hours
These brains the doctor dissected before
the club and demonstrated in very
vivid manner the chief facts that relate
to the gross anatomy of the brain The
material was exceptionally fine for dem
onstration purposes. In connection
with the demonstration Dr. Darling
touched on the subjects of localization
OF brain centers and modern brain sur
gerry, which subjects he handled excep-
tionally well.
DR.. Darling Is an alumnus of the Man
kato normal school, having graduated
with the class of 1892. He has been for
the past eight years connected with the
state hospital at st. Peter, in which
he holds a prominent position. He is a
pleasant speaker, knows his subject
thoroughly and those who had the oppor-
tunity to hear him yesterday were great
ly pleased. The Biological club expects
to invite him back for a second lecture
in the near future

an ill wind that blows nobody any good.
Notwithstanding the complaint of the
lawyers that people are not inclined 70
use the court as an instrument for
arbitrating differences, the colleges and
universities continue to turn out large
numbers of young men who believe their
forte is in the practice of law. They
manage to find suitable location, hang
out their shingles and in a few years
from the time they receive the fee from
their first client many of them are on the
highway to an apparently successful
career. No other profession offers such
golden opportunities to the bright and
energetic young man as that of the prac-
tice of lazy. 1t is the gateway which
opens to many avenues of success and
fame. No other profession gives a
Young man such a wide field in which to
broaden his mind and develop the talent
within him. This can be done even
though litigation is not so rampant as
lawyers generally would wish it to be.

a lifelong study of the subject, publish
ed book recently in which he gave bio
graphical sketches of $4,000 centenarians
According to this authority there are
1000 living Americans who have passed
the l00-year mark. 1t would be inter
esting to lift the curtain of the future
and see how many centenarians will be
alive by the middle of the present cen
fury. Scientific men assert that inn
proved sanitary condition and discoveries
of remedies for the prevention of disease
will assuredly prolong human life. As
an offset against advances in medical
science, however, may be mentioned
among other things the greater strain
upon the nervous system. The world
moves much more rapidly now than it
did half century ago, when the CEN
tenarians of today were in the prime of
life At that time man engaged in
any of the mechanical trades was not
considered to have outIived his useful
ness when he was still comparatively
young.
According to table published in The
Baltimore Sun recently there are
branches of employment for which a
man is not regarded as qualified after he
passes certain limit-and in some cases
the limit is reached when persons ought
to be physically and mentally at their
best. If, on account of eXacting cOndi
tions of employment, men who reach the
age of forty OF forty five are to be dis
qualified, says The Sun, it is fair in
ference either that the world is living at
too fast pace, or that the present
generation is not up to the standard of
preceding generations in bodily strength
and mental adaptabtiveness. In either
case there is little probability that cen
tenarians will be found in large numbers
in 1850 ''Nor is there any reason why
a man should desire to be centenarian
if he is to outlive his capacity for work
before he passes middle age" speaks up

he should not continue to live and en-

Lawyers and Litigation.

Business with the lawyers in many
communities is not what it was former
". Litigation is at low ebb and the
men of the learned profession are not
deriving fat fees in these piping times
of peace Most any lawyer will tell
you that in the majority of the smaller
towns there is nothing doing in the way
of important litigation; nowadays suits
brought and contested are of no particu-
lar moment and attract no particular at
tention from the general public. In the
larger cities the leading lights who delve
in legal lore are to be found in the en-
ploy of the corporations and they are
well paid for their labors. But in the
smaller towns the average lawyer is not
blrdened with business of a character
that will bring to him riches on the
rapid order plan, A well7known attor-
nev in Mankato made the statement a
few days ago that people generally are
becoming more cautious, they do not
rush into trouble with such frequency
as they did years ago, and if perchance
they do become entangled in some diff
fieult proposition the spirit of arbitra-
ton takes possession of them and they
readily effect a compromise with the
other fellows. Human nature in some
respects has undergone a change. Many
men do not cater to the. law and the
courts. They have discovered that liti
cation is expensive, no matter if they
do win out after running the gamut of
legal tribunals. They have reached the
conclusion that meeting their opponents
half way, and acting on the advice ;of
honest attorneys is the better and more
safer policy to pursue. And the people
as rule are becoming better educated,
and with this acquiring of knowledge
they are throwing off their pugnacious
proclivities, leaving the battles to be
fought out in the courts to the larger
fry-the corporations and the govern
inent or the state. 1t is a. fact, too,
that when times are at their best, when
prosperity permeates THE land, lawyers
as rule do not find as much to keep
them busy as when there is q. panic
which brings on business feverses, fail
ures, bankruptcies. The latter ailments
cause litigation and the stasn of the law
thrive off the misfortunesspf others sits

Road Flowing and Planting.

The Free Press is in receipt of the
following communication:
Now that the city, election is over
will The Free Press kindly publish in
an early issue the section of the road
law on the obstruction of highways by
blowing and planting, and the duty of
supervisors in the matter
The following sections are given: =
Whoever at any time obstructs any
of the public highways in this state, in
any manner, with intent to prevent the
free use thereof by the public, OF who
ever shall do. or cause to be done any
planting OF blowing thereon within the
width of one full rod on each side Of the
center line of said highway, shall be
subject to fine of not less than five nor
more than twenty-five dollars, together
with the costs attending such convic-
ton, and on failure to pay such fine
and costs, may be committed to the
county jail there to remain until such
fine and costs are paid, or, until dis
charged according to law; and it is here
by made the duty of the board of super
visors of the several towns of this state
to make complaint, and prosecute in
their official capacity, all violations of
the provisions of this section.
That any person living upon or own
ing land fronting on any of the public
highways of this state may, for the
purpose of seeding the same down to
grass, plow and level said highways for
said purpose and seed the same to grass
to within one rod of the center of the
same, provided, that nothing herein con-
tanned shall be construed to authorize
the said parties to work upon the same
to the hinderance or detriment of the
travel upon said roads, or to authorize
any compensation for the same: Pro-
vided further, that no person shall ac-
auire any title to any portion of such
highway by such use or occupancy there
of.
1t would seem that the law is very
plain and town supervisors should see to
it that some attention is paid to these
provisions. 1t is understood that in
several townships prosecutions will fol-
low the violations of the above sections.

Omnibus Appropriation Bill Is Before
the Minnesota Legislature.
Over Three Million Dollars to Be Used
to Conduct Affairs.
At That it Is Lowest That Has Been
In For Years.
Covers Deficiency Of $250,000-'
Cash For Mankato Normal.
From Wednesdays Daily.

The omnibus appropriation bill, as pre-
pared by the appropriations committee
of the house and the finance committee
of the senate, was introduced in both
branches of the Legislature yesterday
The bill carries a total appropriation
for the next two fiscal years, or until
July 81, 1905, amounting to So, lO7,-
1888.
All circumstances considered, it is the
lowest appropriation bill that has been
introduced in many years.
The omnibus bill of 1899 carried tax
levy of az. mills, raising $S60,0OO by
taxation
The omnibus bill of 1901 carries a tax
levy of l l-3 mills and provided for rails
ing 100000.
The present bill requires that $500, 900
be raised by taxation, as the balance
comes from other sources of state re-
venue, and will require levy of l mill.
An especially significant feature is
that the present bill takes care of about
$250,006 of deficiencies, caused by the
cheese pairing policy of two years ago,
when j. F. jacobson was chairman of the
house appropriations committee, and was
making record for his campaign for
state auditor. These aggregate deficien-
cies have had to be met this year, but
nevertheless it has been possible to make
decided reduction in the tax levy.
The chief items of deficiencies are $780,
600 for wolf bounties; $S5 900 for general
printing expenses, and $4,000 for print
ing and publishing the constitutional
amendments and laws of 1901 and 1902.
Ambrose Tighe, st. Paul, is chairman
of the house committee, and Senator r.
V. Brewer, chairman of the senate COM
mittee, that elaborated in the prepare
ton of this bill.
Representative Tighe was successful,
after a hard fight, in getting an appro
priation of $4,000 for the proposed man
ufacturers' exhibit building at the state
fair. 1t was fought hard and was the
last item added to the bill.
An important piece of general legisla-
ton is contained in the proviso that
the state board of control may transfer
;tor,c onoro,,r;o4 ad for ono ;nctit,,t;on
under its care to the use of another, in
its discretion.
The board is also granted authority to
use $1,000 in addition to any current ex-
pense allowance, in its discretion.
The board is also authorized to set
aside part of any allowance for current
expense for the maintenance of diversi-
fed labor fund at any institution.
In addition, the board is authorized to
raise or lower any salaries now provided
by law at any institution, except the
pay of the superintendent.
In general, the board of control is
given sweeping powers.
The house omnibus bill. H. f. 905, was
made a special order for Thursday morn
ing at 1890. Immediately upon dispos-
ing of the bill, the house will take up III.
+. $40, bill making appropriations of
S250,O00 for the state agricultural school,
and special tax to raise the money
st. Paul Dispatch.
In the list of appropriations is that of
