.F'RATERNAL MEN STIRRED
Mr.. Dearth's Views as to Needed
Legislation Are Not Accepted
by Many. t.

The statement Of Insurance. Commits
sioner Dearth regarding possible leGisla
ton affecting fraterral insurance socie-
ties, has stirred up lodge members in Mir
neapolis. The fraternal men had taken
preliminary steps to organize league to
watch legislation. They were merely an :
ticipating possible trouble. But the state
iment of Commissioner Dearth Is taken rs
meaning that some legislation aimed ut
the regulation Of fraternal societies is sure
to come up this session, and they are now
more than ever determined to fight. The
delegates from the different lodges Will
meet at 10 az clock Saturday evening at
Central annex, ST. Paul. w. p. Bracket
Of the Chamber of Commerce, who pre-
sided at the preliminary meeting in st.
Paul a fortnight ago, says that a lively
fight may be expected if the bill reaches
the legislature. 1--WE naturally expect Mir
Dearth to defend any measure Introduce
through his influence" = added Mfr
Bracket, but We are somewhat surprised
at the claim that prominent fraternal no4r
are behind 1t. We, Of course, are nPt
aware who these prominent fraternal men
are, but in orders believe in a
majority rule, and 1t has proved success
full in this country for a number of years
and should the majority decide that legiF
lation was necessary, it would not become
necessary for those outside of our orde1
to recommend it.. The meeting Of %Satuf-
day can be trusted to do what is right a1h0
best for the interests of our societies.

THE SENATE'S TANGLE
Another Move by Mr.. Quay That Makes
1t More ComplI- ,.


washington, Jan. 2s.-Late yesterday
Senator Quay made a move that further
complexities the contest in the senate.
He introduced the statehood measure
as an amendment to- each of two appro-
priation bills, the agricultural and the
sundry civil bills. - .8.7 s''2 &7'' ~
The document was handed In very
quietly and the occurrence attracted no
attention at the time: The amendments
contained in each case all the provisions
Of the bill. as it came from the house,
and provides for the admission of Okla
homa, New Mexico and Arizona as states
Of the union. Senator Quay would not
discuss the purpose Of these steps, but
his friends practically admit that it Is the
intention so to join the measure with the
bills providing money for the conduct Of
the business Of the government as to
render it necessary to accept statehood
in order to secure the passage Of the ap-
preparation bills.
In the senate yesterday Mr.. Rawlins Of
Titan called up his resolution calling for
the records of court martials in the Phil
ipp4nes, and he and Senator Cormack in
dulged in Philippine speech attacking
the government and the army. Though
Senator Lodge was ready to proceed with
his speech against the statehood bill, the
democrats kept the senate engaged for
two hours. .-,..,, a.. ...- ..-, y
In the course Of his remarks Mr.. Rawlins
referred to the death Of Father Angus
tin, and said he was murdered in cold
blood. 80
This aroused the ire of Mr.. Beveridge,
who demanded specifically to know who
had cornnrit.sd the cold FLOODED murder.
| Mr.. Carmack characterized the charge.
which, he said. repeatedly. had been made,
that the democrats. were assailing the
army as the ''meanest and dirtiest' Of any
that had been made against the party. -
! MIR. Proctor defended Captain Cornelius
M. Brownell, who had been mentioned in
the Rawlins resolution as being respon-
| sible for Father Augustin's death.

Butte, Mont, Jan. 29.--John E., Atkin
son, lately of st. Paul, died last even
ing about 6 o'clock while being taken in

two deputies responded. When they saw
the condition the man was In, they de-
cided to take a carriage. In the carriage
Atkinson became very quiet, but the depu-
ties did not think there was anything
wrong. When they tried to arouse him
at the courthouse, they found, to their
horror, that he was dead.
The body was still warm, and the off,

According to DR.. Ignatius Donnelly, a
friend Of the dead man, Atkinson at one
time was a man of standing in the com

Atkinson at Hastings, Mimi, where he
was manager Of a dry goods store. He
was a man Of education and refinement
and respected by every one. He once
