THE END HAS COME.
The Work OF the Thirty-third Session OF
the Legislature is Over.

Before this article is given to the
public the thirty third session of
the Minnesota legislature will have
come to an end, and the work of the
members is left for the people to
judge.
For a bunch of new members
there has probably never been a
legislature containing such hard
working lot of representatives as
the one closing at noon yesterday.
There were only 20 old representa-
tives in the bunch, and while all of
them were more or less felt in legiS
lation, the new members pushed to
the front with vim, and many of
them can return to their people
with a feeling that they have won
earlands of the choicest flowers. In
this bunch, our own representative,
Mr.. Clague, stands conspicuously,
he having had a hand in shaping
all important legislative policies,
assisting in the passage of good
bills. and in turning down the bad
propositions. There are some who
say that the members of the house
earned their salaries for the session
when they turned down the bills
seeking to remove the Owatouna
and Faribault schools from under
the board of control, but these say
ers are friends of the board. Mem
bers who wanted them removed
will probably think different.
No important legislation was
passed, But this was not the fault
of the house. The tax propositions
all fell by the wayside in the senate,
where the four year term senators
were not aggressive. in attempting
to pass reform measures. Arrange
ments were made to represent the
State at ST. Louis, an additional ap-
preparation of 81, 500,00 was made
for the new capitol, and the other
measures passed were not of enough

1t was while Senator Ed. Smith s
graveyard bill was up for consider

of Blue Earth county introduced a
simple yet effective amendment.
The bill provided that the owners
of the cemetery, whether an asso-
citation or an individual, might do
certain things, and similar bill
was given rather rough treatment a
month or two earlier.

The effect of the decision, of the
appellate court of the United States
upon the politics of Minnesota is
certain. Itseems almost certain, at
this early date, to say that Govern
or VanSant is likely to be candi-
date for denomination for third
term. The Governor believes that
the people will rally around him if
he so decides. He contends that he
was the first to commence the fight
against the merger, and while the
United States authorities turned
down the merger as being ia viola
ton of the Sherman ANTITRUST law,
yet the government would probably
have never commenced the suit
had not Governor VanSant asked
the legal department of Minnesota
to commence proceedings to prevent
the two big roads from combining.
Against the Governor will un-
doubtedly be pitted Hon. Robert G.

has host of friends1 all over the

has reported to the state department
from AIonrovia, Liberia. under date of
Nov. 4, details of a massacre in the
missionary named John G. Tate, with
all his following. eighteen in number.
II appears the massacre took place
March Is. 1901. yet the first detailed ac-
count has just come to hand in an, af-
fiiavit by Mrs. Mary L. Allen. the white
missionary at Nouna Kroo, Liberia.
She had the story from some native
Doc trihesmen, who knew of the killing.
Tate had large mission and farm, and
besides he maintained considerable
school in the jungle, and altogether
nineteen people were in the mission
when ii was surrounded in the night
by the Docs. The first man who ans
.wered the knock at the door WAS sho:.
The interpreter was next shot and cut
to pieces The Docs then killed all the
remaining inmates of the house and cut
off their hands, placing the bloody
members in a coffin and sent them
back to their people as trophies. In
explanation of their actions the Docs
said: 1--WE have no fight with the
white man. But If we do not kill him
now he will bring his country to make
war upon us" Minister Lyon on the
strength of this affidavit has COM
municated with the Liberlan secretary
of state with view to securing fuller
information and perhaps punishment
of the perpetrators of the massacre.

she succeeded In doing.
The Olympia steamed slowly to the
tortuous entrance between the two old

SAY IT'S A HANNA MOVE.
Late Date for Assembly. of the Ohio
Convention.


Springfield, o., Dec. 2a.-The an
nouncement by Colonel j. j. Ginger
man of this city of the late date for
the Ohio republican convention was in
tended as the first step In the further
ance of Senator Hanna's candidacy for
the presidential nomination. The an
nouncement was made last night by
Colonel Clingerman, who is chairman
Of the state central committee, after
he had held lengthy conference with
General Charles Dick, who is re-
garded in Ohio as Senator Hannas
Girst lieutenant.
No secret was made of the fact that
the late date for the convention is
meant to be considered as significant.
Ohio endorsed Roosevelt last year and
it may require somewhat of an effort
10 turn it to Hanna this year, partic-
ularly as it has been said all along
hat Hanna was not candidate. The
Roosevelt supporters have been anx-
Gus for early conventions in every
state, and the fact that the Hanna
managers of Ohio have defied the
wishes of the president is taken by all
POLITICAL men to mean that Hanna is
Wiling to be considered a candidate.

elected thirty days prior.

Des Moines, Dec. 29.-Butter ship

previous year, and in fact an Increase
over either one Of the previous four
years, but the aggregate shipments
out of the state are not yet back to
the record years of 1895 and 1897 The
total net pounds of butter reported as
shipped for the year ended October
last was T7,079,794 There was gain
of 4,365,210 pounds over the previous
year. AS butter prices have been gen.
orally good the past year the value of
the product probably ranks we'll up

was In 1897, when there was shipped
from the state over S3000,00O pounds of
butter; but as long ago as 1890 the to-
tai shipments We're 71.000.0o0 and over.
These figures are obtained annually by
the state dairy commissioners from the

million pounds net of Butter was sent
to the market over three lines OF rail-
