FAT BABIES

The saying, SLEEPY as a fat baby"
expresses a good deal, for fat babies
are famous little fellows to sleep.
What a contrast is their refreshing
rest to the pitching and tossing of a
sleepless coffee drinker. good elder
of Springfield, ILL.,, found a way to
bring refreshing sleep in place of in
somnia. Until three years ago." he
says, for Is years was troubled with
a throbbing in my stomach, was very
nervous, kidneys out of order, trou-
bled with severe headache and dread
full insomnia
After trying all sorts of remedies 1
came to the conclusion that my trou-
bles were the result of drinking coffee.
and seeing an article in the paper
about Postum I determined to try it.
So 1 quit coffee and took on Postum.
1t agreed with me from the first cup.
At first l drank it diluted, then pure.

L was soon free from stomach trouble,
nervousness all gone and head clear.
and instead of being wakeful for half
the night I sleep like fat baby and
get up in the morning refreshed. This

to drinking Postum" Name furnished

Nothing marvellous about II. huf
there is a reason. If healthy sound
sleep is worth anything to you drop
coffee and give Postum a short trial

mated by the bill as the first commits
sioner. In case of resignation, death
or removal, the governor is given the
power Of filing the vacancy.
Legislators Favor Bill.
Thomas Cochrane spoke for the
Commercial club at the meeting last
night in its support Of the bill, and
the answers from the members of the
two legislative committees were of a
decidedly encouraging nature.
Q. G. Dale, for the senate, and John
Olson, the chairman of the house COM
mtttee, said their sympathies were
with the movement and the bill would
have every aid at their hands, Sena-
tors Thorpe and Thompson also offered
their support.
While the legislators are acquainted
with the provisions of the BILL the
meeting last night was for the purpose
of anticipating any delay that might
result from its introduction. With the
two committees in full sympathy, it's
early return to the regular bodies is
assured and thus will be removed the
delay consequent upon a reference.
The bill is understood to have the

SAY STATE LAW
DOES NOT APPLY
Western Union Claims I'M
munity From Provisions
of Somerville Act.

The suit brought by the attorney
general of the state against the West
ern Union Telegraph company to COM
pei that corporation to comply with
the Somerville law, will be tried at the
next term of the district court in Hen
nepin county.
The complaint in the action was
served on the company some three
weeks ago and it set out that the COM
pany was capitalized at $97, $40, 900,
and had property in the state in the
way of poles, lines, instruments anu
offices valued at $1,O0O,0O0.
1t also alleged that it did a large
business In the state and had refused
TO comply with chapter SO, of the Laws
OF 1899, the Somerville law, which re-
CURED foreign companies doing BUSH
ness to pay a tax on the amount of
It's stock used in it's business in the
state. Judgment is asked for $1,000
and the penalty provided for by the
law.
The answer of the company, which
was filed yesterday, sets UP that the
company had at all times authority to
do business in Minnesota without any
license or authorization from the state;
that the company took advantage of
an act passed by congress July "a, 1866,
relating to telegraph companies and
accepted the same July 8, 1867, and
tnat the statute known as chapter 50.
or the General Laws of 1899, does not
and never did apply to it.
Inc company also contends that If
the law did or does apply to the COM
pany 1t IS contrary to the constitution
or the United States, illegal and void,
and that the company is not liable to
the state of Minnesota or REQUIRED to
pay. any license fee nor is it liable to
any penalty.

LESSON FOR A CITY HUNTER.
Re Went Stalking for Deer and Met WITH
a Surprise.

a Surprise.
i've been deer hunter all my life and
a guide in the Wisconsin woods for a
advantage of one of the animals said
old Abe Glennon. who came down from
the pine forests last week for short stay
in Chicago. Il always give a deer a
chance for his life, and l won't steer a
party that wants to go on a slaughter
ing expedition.
Last November Chicago party care
up to my lodge to hunt deer for a week
They were all good sportsmen but one fell
low, and he had never been out of the
city before, or acted as If he hadn't. Aft
er we had hunted one day and f,aled to
bring down buck or a doe, this fellow
who had heard few hunting stories
wanted to go stalking with bulls eye.
told him | wouldn't stand for anything
like that. but he was anxious, and we
told him to go ahead.
The other members of the party kn6C
he was going and they asked me if there
was any way of playing joke on the new
hunter. l told them to take d piece of
stovepipe and put two lighted candles in
the brush and fastened it between tie
forks of a sapling. When 1 got back to the
lodge l told the fellow where to go to- fra
a big buck at night. He took his repea ting
rifle and bulls eye lantern and disappear
ed in the night, but not until after l had
told him to fire little below the two
lights, which he would know were the
deer eyes.
About half an hour later I heard the
crack of a rifle and the other men laughed
and said the stalker had got his bull s
eye at work Before they had finished
the sentence the rifle cracked again. Then
came dozen shots in rapid succession.

With Commercial Club
Recommend Such a Meas
ure, Naming H. P. Hall as
the First Commissioner at
an Annual Salary Of
$4,000.

The creation of a state bureau of
immigration and place for H. P. Hall,
at a salary of $4,000 year, are the OBJ
jects of a bill that will be introduced
in the legislature probably today. 1t
was duly considered at a dinner and a
meeting Of the immigration commit
tees of the two branches of the state
legislature and the Commercial club
at the quarters of the later last night,
and received approval to the extent
that every hope is entertained for its
passage.
OF the Canadas and the Northwest
Minnesota is probably alone in the lack
of bureau to invite settlers to it's
broad acres, and the dissemination of
publicity regarding the states ad-
vantages and it's desirability as a loca-
ton. The bill, as fathered by the Com
mercial club, is intended to correct
these deficiencies.
