MINNESOTA NEWS.
Increase the Penalty.

As a result of the numerous recent
hold-ups and murders that have oc-
CURED in Minnesota the announcement
is made that one of the first bills that
will be introduced in the Minnesota
legislature in January will be an act
providing a punishment of life impris-
onment for conviction in any hold-up
case where a dangerous weapon is
used.
Such a bill is in force in Illinois and
other states will adopt similar mea-
sures this year.
Should such a bill be introduced in
the Minnesota legislature there is little
doubt but that it would pass, as there
is strong sentiment already in favor
OF some such strenuous measure. The
recent hold-ups in the vicinity of Min
neapolis have aroused the public and
anything in the way of legislation that
would have a tendency to check such
brutal work would have the support
of the public
1t is stated that the bill will be in
troduced by a member of the Ramsey
delegation in the house and that it will
be drawn alonf the lines of the Illi-
nois act.

The machine has a rubber hood (which

rubber tube conveys the milk to a

from the tube by a electrical device

State Fair Figures.

The Minnesota State Fair association
closes it's fiscal year, Dec 10, with a
profit on the years operations of near
" $500 The annual report of the
association, which will be given out
soon, will show that the rainy weather
which prevailed during the week of
the fair this year did not make much
over $4,000 difference between the
profits of 1903 and 1904 fairs.
The excellent showing made by the
fair association is matter of much
surprise to the, public in general. It
was believed that the rains of fair
week would cutthe profits DOWN to a
small figure, and might even leave a
deficit on the years business.

report of the years operationswas NOW

he was safe in saying the profits are
