who have been operating Of late In
many cities in the central West.
For some time in many OF the West
ern cities. notably. Chicago, Toledo.
Cleveland. and Buffalo, money orders
originally issued for 80 and 40 cents
on various newspapers have been
raised to $50 and $50 and then passed
on many of the big department stores.
The gang travelled in pairs-a man
and a woman-and in working the
game the man usually drew the money
order, and then by chemical process
raised the amount to dollars instead
Of cents. The part played in the game
by the woman was TO visit some big
department store. make a small pur-
chase and offer the raised money or
der, which, of course, was considered
as good as gold, and get large
amount OF ready cash IN exchange
Last night Parker called at the Hart
ford postoffice and bought money or
der for 80 cents. He was accompanied
by d young woman. and Postmaster
Bennett became suspicious The arrest

notified OF the arrest of Parker. but has
received 40 details. The case Will be

Makes Nolan Demurrage Bill
a Special Order.
The Revised Laws for Minnesota, with
Amendments, Passed After
Stormy Session.

X
Friday last was one of the most
sensational days ever experienced
In a Minnesota house of represen-
tatives. "Fire crackers and sky
rockets were in the air all day
long, and when an adjournment was
finally taken at 4:30 O'Clock that
afternoon the speaker and the desk
force heayed signs of relief.
With the close of most eloquent
and fiowery prayer by Rev. Golight-
~ Morrill, of Minneapolis the pyro-
technics were set in motion. w.
A. Nolan of Mower county, who
was fostering the reciprocal demur-
rage bill, ignited the fuse. He
moved call of the house and in
sisted that the call ought to extend
until every member not excused
was brought in. It was the pre-
llmlnary step to overturning the
houses own railroad committee in
recommending for indefinite post
ponement the reciprocal demurrage
bill, which has been sofercely fought
by all of the railroad companies of
the state for the past 40 days.
That committee held a meeting
Thursday evening and by a vote Of

out for the cemetery, and authorize

appointment Promotion in Point OF
Salary and Conditions for the
Best Work.

The Worthington board of educa.
ton made raid on Supt. Edwards
last week, and after writing that
gentleman couple OF letters and
calling him up over the telephone,
Induced him to visit Worthington
Friday evening and remain over
the next day. Worthington is a
city considerable larger than Red
wood Falls and pays taxes on about
double our assessed valuation. 1t
has also wellequipped high school.
and the outcome Of Supt. Edwards
visit there indicates that it has a
school board that Intends to get
what it goes after. Supt. Edwards
was asked to name salary and
conditions under which he would
take charge of the Worthinoton
schools with the beginning of an
other school year, after he had in
yestlgated the proposition. The.
professor named an advance on the
salary of 81, 400 voted him at Red
wood Falls, and at special meet
ing OF the Worthington board his
terms were promptly accepted and
ne was elected superintendent at
TTY
Worthington for the coming. school
year, with a prospect of further
increase of salary should he remain.
TIE GAZETTE is informed that the
offer from Worthington came en-
tirely unsolicited, and that while
Mr.. Edwards had not formally ac-

board for another years service, he

and Immediately Mr.. Ware moved
that it be substituted for the major
| ity report and that the Nolan bill
be made special order for to-day
at 2 o'clock. MIR. Nolan secured
recognition and made an impassioned
speech for the minority, insisting
that the substitute was an abortion,
cutting the heart and soul out ol
the original, which was given him
to father by the municipal league
OF the state. w. HI. Putnam, chair
man OF the railroad committee, and
a most conservative and upright
member of the house, defended the
action of the committee, saying that
the Nolan bill would reverse sys-
tenn that has been followed for
years.
1t was when Mr.. Putnam coz.
cluded that Mr.. Rachie of Lac aui
Parle, apparently knowing the tenn
per of the house, called for the pre-
vious question. Instantly the op-
ponents of the Nolan bill were on
their feet protesting, and pande-
monium reigned for a minute.
Speaker Clague quickly restored
order and the previous question
was found to be supported by So
members, majority, and it was
ordered. The roll call was had and
81 members voted for the minority
report and only 81 against re-
versal never before witnessed in
the house. An attempt to recon
slider the vote and have both bills
made special order was voted
down by So to As, and the committee
substitute was put to sleep for the
session. Several who voted in the
negative Friday will vote for the
bill today, they voting may" Fri
day against what they termed
gag law. The applause was
deafening when the final vote was
announced.

Half an hour before the session
opened a total Of eight out of 10
members of the committee had
placed their signatures to this re-
port. The news OF the minority &C.
ton had leaked out, and both sides
got busy, and before the session
was called to order it was plain
that the report of the majority
would be turned down, and the re-
port OF the minority, led by Hon. A.
X. Ware of Northfield, would be
substituted.
When 113 members-out of 119-
were guarded in the chamber.
further proceedings under the call
were dispensed with. Petitions
and routine reports were passed
up first, and when Speaker Clague
then handed over the majority re-
port of the railroad committee
everybody prepared for the explo-
sion. This report was QUICKLY
read and then Mr.. Ware handed IN
the action of the minority. This
insisted that shippers had the same
right to charge demurrage against
raliroad companies for delay in
furnishing cars and for DELAYS in
transit as the railroad companies
have for delay in loading and un.
loading. 1t made a bitter attack on
the proposed substitute, claiming
That 1t was OF no protection to the
shipper, and then commended that
the Nolan bill was demanded bv
every commercial body in the state
The report closed with ringing
appeal, saying:
We therefore deem ii our solemn
duty as representatives of the peo-
pie OF the state, guarding their
sacred rights, that we recommend

the substitute offered by the major

SCHOOL BOND ELECTION.

At the monthly meeting of the
board of education last Monday
evening, petition was presented
signed by 100 electors, requesting
the board to call an election to vote
on an issue of bonds to build a high
school. The petition was not circu-
lated until Monday, and the signers
included the heaviest tax PAYERS in
the city. The board faces the ne
cessity OF securing more room to
accommodate the demand for desk
room not only in the high school
but IN some of the grades, and the
majority OF the members voted for
resolution calling an election for
Monday, March 9th, the official
notice appearing in this issue OF

This election ought to bring out
the largest vote ever polled in this
