Senator Conlogue has introduced by
request bill regulating the salaries
of the county commissioners. This is
the last salary bill to. be offered and
judging by the reception given others
it, will have a hard time. The object
of the bill is to readjust the salaries
according to population. In some of
the small counties the commissioners
will not receive more than 5000 a
year.

REFUSED A PASS.
Northern Pacific Turns Down Dairy
Commissioner Mcdonnell.

The Northern Pacific road has refused
to give Dairy Commissioner Mcconnell
a pass to La Moure, n. D., where Mr..
Mcconnell is to go to assist in an agi-
tation for new and better creameries and
cheese factories.
1t has always been customary for
roads to issue passes to state depart
ments of this kind where the journey
made is purely in the interests of a legi-
innate industry, which not only builds
up the state, but creates new business
for the railroads.
The roads have issued transportation
to state superintendent of public in
struction to attend summer schools, on
the grounds that summer schools give a
small amount of passenger business to
the roads. The dairy departments work
increases the great dairy interest which
contributes very heavily to the rail-
road business as well as to the states
progress.-St. Paul Dispatch

WILL RECEIVE DONATIONS.
Mayor Taylor Designates City Record
er H0dapp in ST. Charles Case.

Mayor Taylor has received the follow
ing reply from the mayor of st. Charles
to his inquiries as to the amount of des-
titution there:
"St. Charles, Mimi, Oct. 7th, 1907
Chas. T. Taylor, Mankato, MINI. Dear
Sir: Your communication of the 9th
inst. received and contents noted. In
regard to same will say that it will take
about $4,000 to relieve the people that
are in destitute circumstances. While
our loss from the cyclone is about $780,
600 to 100000, yet the above amount
will relieve our city. Whatever you can
do to aid us shall be greatly appreciated.
"Yours respectfully,
81. j. SPEETER,
Mayor and Chairman Finance Commit
tee."
From this letter it still appears as
though the committee was anxious to
get money to help rebuild the town as
well as to aid those in actual distress
Providing that sixty-five families were
rendered destitute, which would be a
large number, the sum named would be
81 900 to each family, which would prob
ably be twice the earning capacity OF
each family for a whole year.
Mayor Taylor is much in the dark as
to the needs of the sufferers, providing
there are any, as seems likely, but he
has designated City Recorder Hodapp tore
ceive any donations that the citizens may
feel like making in the way of money
food or clothing, and the city will SEE
that the articles are transported to st
Charles. 1t is thought that the Chicago
| & North Western road will transpor
free of cost any articles in the food O.
clothing line.
The mayor will probably bring tn
matter of any further relief measures be
fore the next meeting of the council. Al
though the city treasury is much de
pleted, and there is scarcely enough il
sight to tide the city over until mex
spring, still in case of seeming necessity
an appropriation could be made.

A. G. Blomberg of st. Peter tells The
Tribune of that city how he located Myra
Pearl Starr, the young girl who was re-
stored to her mother, Mrs. Robbins of
Willmar After relating the circum-
stances which led up to his connection
with the case Mr.. Blomberg says that
the mother attempted to secure informa-
ton leading to the whereabouts of the
child by applying to Mr.. Merrill, super
intendent of the state school at Ovation
ma Merrill is reported as having inform
ed Mrs. Robbins that she would make it
his business to see to it that she, the
mother, should never gaze upon the face
of the child"
1t is alleged that Merrill claimed that
the child was adopted by parties in
New York after the due process of law,
but Mr.. Blomberg states that the adop-
ton proceedings were not instituted un-
til year after the mother had made
a demand for her child
In speaking of his hunt for the child
Mr.. Blomberg says:
''Now the facts are, the adaptive par
ents were found by me renting farm;
the child, only ten years old, MIXED
sometimes five cows, scrubbed floors, had
taken care of the horses during her va
cation, as well as assisting in doing the
house work. Upon inquiry, found that
this home had not been visited by an
authorized state agent, as required by
law, since the child had been placed in
this home. The law requires visits to be
made, and report rendered as to the
condition of the home and of the child.
What the records disclose I am not ad
vised in this case, as they are refused
for inspection"
1t would seem under the circumstances
that the board of control or some one in
authority should investigate the charges
made by Mr.. Blomberg. They are of too
serious character to pass by lightly.
