6 TWO BILLS UNSIGNED
Governor Van SAINT Allows Two
Measures to Die. 81. S..


Two bills passed by the late Legislature
fail to become laws. Governors Van SAINT,
on the advice Of Attorney General w. B.
Douglas, has withheld his signature and
as the bills were passed within the last
three days of the session, they are dead.
One was the McNamee1 81 ~ providing
a jury commission for Ramsey county,
to draw petit jury lists. This is declared
because Its sclassifica ton
is limited to Ramsey county. being drawn
for counties of $50, 900 to 200 900 popula

CURED BY POP: CORN
Twas an 0ld-Fashioned Remedy
That Stopped Dwight Higbee's
Hiccoughs,
It Was Not Scientific Treatment,
but He Took the Chance,
Anyway.

Popcorn as cure for "hiccupitis"
new remedy for the confusion Of the afore-:
said distressing malady. Such is the rev.
elation and valuable contribution to ma
,teria medica, which the case of Dwight
r. Higbee of 2305 Portland avenue offers
in connection with the announcement that
he is no longer hiccoughing his life away.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Hgbee, in: some
unaccountable manner, became the VIC
tim Of an apparently chronic case of hic-
coughs, the prolonged symptoms OF which
became so alarming that he was forced
to leave his office and seek relief at home.
He tried all the common remedies for a
complaint from which all people occa-
sionaly suffer, but to no avail. With the
number OF h1ccOughs ito the second rap
idly increasing, and an Inability to swal-
low food in the intervals, or hardly catch
his feeting breath, Mr.. tHigbee called In
a doctor. The doctor looked grave, shook
his head and called IN another doctor.
The two compared notes and called in
"a third member Of their profession. Then
the three held weighty consultation
while Mr. Higbee eyed them closely and
anxiouslys awaited the result Of their de-
liberations. a
At the conclusion of their close con-
ference the first physician adjusted his
matter with him. - - +. =
"Just as suspected" said he. 'you are
suffering from a spasmodic inspiration,
consisting of a sudden contraction. of the
diaphragm, accompanied with closure Of
the glottis, so that further entrance OF
the air is prevented while the impulse OF
the column of air entering and striking
upon the closed glottis produces sound
or hiccough.". s.
After. the doctor had thus delivered
himself, Mr.. Higbee lay back and pre-
pared for the worst. 5%ss -, .s.-. - P. H. =
| When medical treatment failed to bene-
fit him he began to hearken to the sug-
gestions Of friends who proposed q null
titude Of sure cures for hiccoughs. Among
the old-fashioned antidotes with which
| he was thus acquainted was popcorn.
| The physicians lifted their eyebrows at
| popcorn-it was so unscientitlc.; Mean
time Mr.. Higbee's- diaphragm kept alb
normally. busy. AS. he gazed. discon-
| solately out of the window, with the
spasms steadily increasing, in rapidity
and violence, he spied a popcorn vender.
Acting on impulse and the theory that it
takes desperate remedy to cure a des-
perate ailment, Mr.. Higbee sent out and
purchased brimming sack of snowy
corn well salted. This he proceeded to
devour as rapidly as possible. From the
very first mouthful he joyfully noted that
relief was apparently at hand. The hic-
| coughs commenced to-. fade away and by
the time he had swallowed the last mouth
| full he was sure he had struck the right
thing, and his complete recovery has fol-
| lowed .-- -,' "'.

Madison, Wis, April 23-The biggest
sensation of the present session of the leg
islature developed at this mornings ses-
sion Of the senate, when Senator Hudnall
made public denial Of an interview attrib-
uted to him in a. Chicago morning paper,
wherein he is credited with saying that he
had sufficient information to send half
his colleagues to the penitentiary on brib-
cry charges.
Sensational rumors have been in circu
lation for some time and there has been
know anything definite. Senator Hudnall
said he did not want to say anything
about the motives of the opposition.
81 am informed he said, that the
Chicago Chronicle-in fact, hold the pa
per in my hand-credits me with saying
that 1 had informa tion sufficient to send
half my colleagues to the penitentiary.'
THE senators, who had not all been pay
ing strict attention sat upright in
startled way. Many had evidently not
read or heard of the charges.
Continuing, Senator Hudnall read ex
cerpts from the article, and said: "Wheth-
er those charges are true or whether they
are false. do not purpose to discuss. I
never used that language to any person,
and no one had any authority to quote me
in any such manner, and denounce it and
brand it a faIsehool. What l wish to
say regarding the opposition is simply
what is furnished by facts taken from
their reports He then continued with
his argument -.

J. T. Avery Suggests investigation Into
Federal Building
Bids.

treasury department. at Washington, D.
G., has received a letter from j. T. Avery
of this: city suggesting that there was
collusion among the firms which bid for
the work in making changes in the fed
eral building. Mr.. Avery also says the
work which Is to cost s232,O00 could be
done for 50,0O0. It is reported that the
matter will probably receive attention
from the supervising architect.
H. n. Leighton, whose company has the
contract, looks upon Mr.. Avery's state
nlents as absurd. He says the dressed
stone for the changes will alone cost $52.-
600. He says the talk of colusion is hard :
" worth denial. and that the bids were
very close to the preliminary estimates
of the architect. 8
