RECKLESS SHOOTING.
Little Girl Victim Of Rife Ball Near
Lake Emily.
From Thursdays Daily.

FROM Thursdays Daily.
On Friday afternoon last Frank Nieol-
son, living at the foot of the hill lead
ing to Lake Emily went into the woods
not far from his home TO do some work
and was accompanied BY his daughter,
Anna, eight years old. While her father
was at work the girl sauntsred off in
quest of wild flowers Some time after
she left, her father heard shot, but
thought nothing of it, as shooting was
frequent in the neighborhood. After he
got through with his work, and the girl
not returning, the father returned home
thinking to find his daughter there, but
she had not returned, and after wait
ing couple of hours, the family became
alarmed thinking she had wandered off
and became lost. They had just start
ed to make search for her and met her
on the road near the house looking very
pale. When they got to her she faint
ed, and was carried into the house. 1t
was found she had been shot, through
and through above the hips by a rife
ball, fred by some reckless shooter AT
ter lying for some time where she fell,
she finally recovered sufficiently to reach
home. There should be some remedy to
prevent reckless shooting in the section
where this accident occurred. A great
many people visit the hill leading to
Lake Emily. So many of our boys are
provided with guns these days as to
make it really dangerous to be in the
woods or even about the lakes, as they
are very careless in their shooting, not
seeming to realize or seemingly to care
whether anybody is within range of their
shots or not.-St. Peter Tribune.

"There are stin thousands of persons
in Minnesota who are escaping taxa.
:hon entirely" said State Auditor s. G.
Iyerson in letter of instruction to
the county assessors, who are to meet
in the offices of the county auditors
April %.
The record made last year by the
assessors, when 5,S7l new names and
Sl9,4S9, 1892 of additional property was
added to the assessment rolls, is said by
Mr.. Iverson to be the best of any
one year in the history of the state, but
greater efforts are urged for this
year.
Assessors are instructed to pay no
attention whaterer to the 500 ex-
emption allowed by law, but to return
the assessment no matter how small it
may be. They are also instructed to
return all assessments, both real and
personal, at so per cent of the fair cash
value, according to rule laid down
by the state board of equalization.
The attention of the Ramsey county
assessors is called to the fact that the
state board of equalization at its last
meeting increased the assessment on dia-
monds, jewelry and furniture of saloons
and eating houses 100 per cent, and
the assessments on steamboats, and other
craft so per cent.
Assessors this year will be expected to
assess all property at so per cent of its
actual value, in accordance with a reso-
luton passed by the state board of
equalization at its last meeting. The
various classes of personal property will
be assessed as follows: Horses, one year
old, $40 and upwards; horses, two years
old, SIT to $40; horses, three years old
and over, $50 and upwards; cattle, one
year old, SIS to So; cattle, two years old,
SO and upwards; cows, SIP and upwards;
all other cattle, SIS and upwards; sheep,
$l50 and upwards; hogs, $3.50 and up
wards; wagons, carriages, bicycles, etc.,
SIP and upwards; sewing machines, etc.,
SIS and upwards; watches and clocks,
$40 and upwards; melodeons and organs,

GIFT TO THE LIBRARY.

From Thursdays Daily.
One of the greatest written works
ever penned, Hugo Grotius' immortal
book, "The Rights of War and Peace, or,
The Law of Nature and of Nations
will enrich the collection of tones at
the Mankato public library. 1t is gift
from Andrew Carnegie. The library this
morning received one of the circular no.
tees of the gift of copy of the great
work. This fact that the notice is in
the form of printed circular clearly
indicates that the great "iron king" in
his boundless generosity, is distributing
copies of these works to public libraries
in various parts of the country.
This work of Grotius is the only book
ever officially honored by the United
States government. 1t is a peace maker
for all the world. 1t justly entities the
owner to the honor of being called "the
father of international jurisprudence"

WILL FURNISH MEN.
State Will Establish a Free Employ
ment Bureau.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Gas soon as arrangements are com
pleted we will establish a free employ
ment bureau in Minnesota" said Labor
Commissioner ODonnell, who returned
yesterday from Chicago, where he at
tended meeting of the Western As
ISOLATION of Free Employment Bureaus.
.'The system is already operating sue
eessfully in thirteen states, and by CO.
operating, the members of the asso-
citation have found that the move
ment of harvest hands can be handled
in that way better than in any other.
Kansas City is the headquarters of the
association, and from that point labor
ers are moved in all directions. The
crop in Oklahoma is ready in June, and
in the states north during the sue
ceeding months, Minnesota coming last,
in August. By means of the state bu-
reaus the men may be moved north
from state to state to harvest the crops
as they become ripe.
''The association hopes to secure a
l-cent rate from the Western Pas
senger association. The rate, we ex-
pect, will apply returning as we'll as
going, so that men may get back to
the cities after the crops are harvested
When the system is in full operation the
men and the farmers will be great
ly benefited. The men will not have to
idle and the farmers will not
have to let their crops rot for want of
help. The need of some competent
agency to supply labor was shown at the
meeting by statistics gathered last
year In Kansas alone 100000 bushels
of grain rotted on the fields for want |
of men to harvest it.
"Our plans are to have offices in st.
Paul and Minneapolis and correspond |
ents in all parts of the state to furnish |
us with information. Business men and |
town officials will voluntarily, we
believe, notify us when men are needed
and when men desire employment in
their localities. 1t will then be easy
for us to furnish the men or the work |
as the case may be.
Though we have no authority to es-
tablish the bureau, we will take the in
itiative and hope to secure an ap-
at the next Legislature to
make the bureau a permanent institu-
tion. st. Paul Globe

CHINESE RULER.

The Empress Dowager of China was
sold into slavery at the age of eleven, to
save her family from starvation. At
forwards she was presented to the late
Emperor, and, upon his wife's death,
became Empress. Her feet were never
bound, and she was taught to read after
persistent pleading. The sterling quail
ties of this wonderful woman, like those
of Pillsbury's vitos, have overcome every
obstacle. And she holds herself at the
head of China, as does vitos at the head
of breakfast foods.
