SAMPLES AMENDMENT.

Hon. S. N. Samples bill amending
the existing primary election law, is
a good one, and removes all and sin,
gular objections developed in the last
primary election
1t abolishes the electoral college
feature-an imposition upon common
sense and decent fairness. 1t pro-
vides that a candidate must receive a
majority OF the popular vote in the
first primary, or run the gauntlet in
the second with the next highest
competitor.
The cost of primaries must be d.
vided equally between state and
county candidates in order to prevent
the mulcting Of the former, as was
done in the last primary. The sur
plus remaining in the hands of execu-
tive committees, after all expenses
are paid, must be returned to candi-
dates pro rata.
In case there is but one candidate
for an office, state or county, the ex-
ecutive committee may declare him
the nominee fifteen days before elec-
tion and thus save the expense of
canvass.
Mr.. Sample was wise enough to let

district and county officers shall be
made on the same day throughout the

The story of 6 the oldest dinner
which has ever been eaten," is told
by the Brussels correspondent for the
New York Herald. According to this
correspondent, an antiquary in the
city of Brussels named 'Goebel invited
his friends to this spread, a descrip-
tion of which is given by one of the
guests as follows: ''At that dinner |
ate apples that ripened more than
eighteen hundred years ago; bread
made from wheat grown before the
children of Israel passed through the
Red sea, spread with butter which
was made when Elizabeth was queen
of England; and | washed down the
repast with wine which was old when
Columbus was playing barefoot with
the boys in Genoa The apples were
from an earthen jar taken from the
ruins of Pompeii. The wheat was
taken from chamber in one of the
Pyramids, the butter from a stone
shelf in an old we'll in Scotland, where
for several centuries it had lain in an
earthen crock in icy water, and the
wine was recovered from an old vault
in the city of Corinth. There were
six guests at the table, and each had
a mouthful of bread and teaspoon
full of wine, but was permitted to help
himself bountifully to the butter,
there being several pounds Of it. The
apple jar neld about two thirds of
gallon. The fruit was sweet and as
finely favored as if it had been picked

''THE problem Of the valley is
not the severity Of the weather, .
says the Crookston Times, and
it's remarks are as applicable to
this section as to the Red River
Valley, 'sbut the drainage Of the
lands and the diversity of the
crops. The water does much
more damage than the frost. The
peculiarly hopeful thing about
the present November, is the
fact that the ground has frozen
up with no water in it. If there
are no floods in the spring, the
farmers will be able to get their
crops in early. This condition
ought to prevail in all seasons,
and would if the farms were
properly drained. When drain.
age is an accomplished fact, di-
versity of crop will bring the
millennium to the valley farmer

State High School.

The eleventh annual report of
George B. Alton, inspector Of
the state high schools, is just
issued and contains a variety of
interesting information concern
ing the high schools of the state
and a number of valuable criti-
cisms and suggestions for the
future.
The total number of high
schools in the state is 1852 and the
number of students is 10, 622, the
proportion of boys and girls
being as z to II. The increase in
the mum Der of high schools has
been rapid under the careful
supervision of the state high
school board, the total number of
schools about four years ago
being but 100.
All of these schools employ a
superintendent whose qualifca-
tons must be such as are set by
the state board and one of whose
most important functions is the
care of the grades proceeding
the high school. Mr.. Alton notes
that increasing care and atten.
ton is being given to this work
with the result that the high
school work is steadily improv-
ing in character.
An encouraging feature noted
in the report is Che fact that the
proportion Of graduates to stu
dents in the high schools is rap
idly increasing, showing that
more and more of the young
people of the state remain in
school for the full course.
Minnesota's high schools are
the pride Of the state and the adj
miration Of other states.

State Police System.

/ h
The Pioneer has several times
adverted to the need of better
protection in Minnesota from acts
ofthe lawless. Recent events have
terribly emphasized this need
and give point to the following
suggestion for state police sys-
TEN as outlined by the Mankato
Free Press: ssThe bill authoriz-
ing this step is reported to be al.
ready in process of preparation.
It purposes the deputizing of
crews of railroad trains as state
policemen, giving them the
power of arrest anywhere within
Minnesota. The railroads are
said to be back of the measure,
and while it might give them
more power of protecting their
own rights, the public at large,
it is urged, would benefit by the
system.
"In cases like the recent
freight car murder, near Elk
River, MINI, the Columbia
Heights murder, and in fact
other cases where perpetrators
of crime escape by stealing away
from the scene of their offense
on freight trains, it is claimed
the state police would be of great
assistance to municipal authori-
ties.
| E'The system would give mem
bers of train crews the right to
arrest suspicious characters
found beating their way on
trains. The trainmen, it is
planned, would be constantly in
touch with city, town and village
authorities throughout the state
and would be powerful aids IN
running down criminals. It is
declared by supporters of the
measure that a similar law in
New York has worked to great
advantage. The need of such a
law in Minnesota is apparent.

this week. Special music has
been secured for the occasion
and the dance will doubtless be
one Of the most enjoyable of the
many for which Mr.. Glidden has
been famous this season. Ar
rangements have been made for
the serving of an elaborate lunch
and the leap Year Ball' bids
fair to eclipse anything in the
line of a social hop which Ny.

According TO their statements. the situa-

the Greeks still threatening violence and
the bench warrants remaining unserved.
1t is thought that Sheriff Thresher will
serve the warrants to-day. In case they are
unserved the Springfield rifles promised him
by the State are available. The Governor

the firearms and ammunition that could
be secured in the little town of Stanford,
and they have condscated a. large amount
OF dynamite from the contractors store
house. They are all huddled in two frame
shacks, on high hills, a short distance
apart, and it would De almost impOssible
to take them.
An effort was made to compel the sheriff
to deputize a force of men to-day large
enough 10 make the arrests. but he abso-
lutely refused to do so. Sheriff Thrasher
says tonight that he regards life as too
sacred TO make any Unnecessary move on
the enraged men and he will insist on the
men being paid the $1,000 due them. and
then, if there is any violations Of law. the
arrests will be made regardless of the re-
suit.
Governor Durbin will be asked tomorrow
to sustain this position. Prosecuting At
torney Miller and A. j. Hughes. of the con-
tractors, were in indianapolis to-day in
conference with the Governor. There are
about lis men at work on the tunnel. half
of whom are banded together with Strang.

for the arrest Of twenty of this number,
giving their names.
In the county there are almost 1000 for
eigners at work on different sections of the
road and they are all in close sympathy
with the men in trouble. There is much
excitement in the vicinity Of Stanford,
which IS about half way between Bloom

Western Fields Are "Spotty, but
Indiana Generally Yields Ger
tain, if Small. Results.
FIGURES OF THE WEEK

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
TOLEDO. o.. Feb. lit is evident that
Indiana will be the mecca of the oil bust
ness during the active season OF drilling
during the present season. Many of the oil
men rave made trips 10 the new Kan
sas fields. but a large majority are re-
turning and are satisfied to cast their lot
with the operators Of the Trenton rock
fields. While the Kansas field is developing
some very fine wells II is Of a very "spotty'
nature. and the sand or oil formation does
not lay as uniformly as does that Of Ohio
and Indiana. and they figure that If they do
not get anything large that they will be the
winners in the long run. TIL Trenton rock
field is well established. and the market
price Of the product will hardly go much
lower than II is just now, while the Kansas
product may take "A sudden drop If the
production there increases to any great eX-
tent. Many oil men returning from the new
Western fields say that the Indian Territory
makes a much better showing than does the
Kansas field. as the bulk of the big Kansas
wells are located near Independence anu
Bolton. and Ween Bolton and Caney at
least fifty dry holes have been found.
Many OF the operators in the Trenton rock
field are keeping eyes on the new nelds that
are being developed In Kentucky. In wayne
county. OF that State, some very fine wells
are DtluB drilled Dy men from OHAO anu
Michigan. In the Indiana field many new
companies are being organized 10 operate
for the crude product, and TO this is due the
coming activity. as all the smaller towns
are so confident that they are located in
close proximity 20 an oil field that they will
form local companies and test Their sur
rounding territOiy, and in this way many
prolific pools MAJ be opened up. The Indi-
ana field seems 70 be the main stay in oil
circles OF late.
The efforts in the Trenton rock fields of
Ohio and Indiana the Dast week closed were
no more satisfactory than has marked 9TH
ers of late. The trade has been working at
q disadvantage on account OF the extreme
zero weather. to say nothing OF the ice and
high waters throughout the oil regions. The
weeks work shows that LAG wells were COM
pleted I'm the two States, of which twenty
two were either dry holes or gas wells. the
balance having an initial daily production
of 1895 barrels.
Nothing of a sensational nature was found
in Ohio during the week. though a couple
of wells OF the hundred-barrel capacity were
found in WyandOt and Allen counties. The
wells in Ohio for the week were distributed
