be passed to take the place of the one
in operation in the charter act passe d
in 1908. AS a result the Spencer bill
was drawn up and presented to the
committee of the house The Ohlhau-
sen bill is a more drastic provision
and goes after corporations in no
gentle manner.
Strenuous objections were Immediate
ly filed by representatives. of corpora
tions over the state when the commit
tee of the cities of the first and second
class went over the bill in session Of
the committee. Representatives of the
street railways of Atchison, Newton and
Topeka were there to file objections in
addition to other corporations Joab
MulVane representing the Edison Light
company now before the city council
franchise was present and stated in en-
phatic terms that he was against the
passage Of the public Utilities bin as
proposed.
In the main the objections which were
presented were alike. The claim made
was that it would be impossible to sell
bonds If the length of the franchise was
cut down from twenty to thirty years
and with the further possibility that it
would be further reduced to ten years
on the action Of a city council desirous
of taking over the utility as upon q
municipal basis The payment of a
percentage of the gross or net earnings
IN return for the use of the streets and
alleys of the city was chara cterized fur
ther as an act which would lead to
bankruptcy upon the part Of the cor
poration enjoying a franchise. Further
objection was filed in linking together
cities of first and second class under ain
identical public utilities bill Topeka s
interest in the bill in question lies in
the fact that it provides for municipal
ownership of public waterworlxs and a
taking over of the same under a vote
of the people Kansas City. Kansas. is
similarly interested and was represent

things had been going wrong in the
state superintendent Office. But per-
haps Mr.. Dayhoff did not want to Of
fend the speaker of the house.
The following is Mr.. Dayhoff's letter
to the house of representatives which
is printed in full so that the members
of that body may be able to see
what they missed by laying it on the
table:
"On returning to the city last even
ing learned through newspapers and
from statements made to me by mem
bers of the house that Robert Stone, a
member of the house from Shawnee
county had made a malicious, false and
cowardly attack upon me and my Of
flee upon the floor of the house in his
discussion of house bill No. 614.
THE fact that Stone is a hired attOr-
ney for G. G. Burton, who was at one
time an agent for the American Book
company and is now the agent of a
rival company may account for the
fact that he INDUCED in his disreputa-
BILE insinuations in connection with this
bill.
II have frankly and openly opposed
the passage of this bill because I did
not believe it to be to the best interest
of the schools of the state of Kansas,
and I have made it a point, as chair
man of the legislative committee to call
the attention of educators throughout
the state to the fact that the bill is
pending and might be enacted into law.
No school book company or interested
nartv of any kind or character has had
to do with my position concerning this
bill and I here and now request that
the house appoint committee ana give
it full power to make such an inVessi-
cation as will determine the facts IN

DAYHOFF HEARD FROM.
He Asks the House for an Investiga-
tiOn.

State Superintendent Dayhon has
demanded" an investigation of the
sensational charges made against him
on the floor of the house Monday
afternoon by Speaker Stubbs and
Robert Stone.
Without even reading Mr.. Dayhoff's s
communication, the house voted TO
lay it on the table.
About the only thing left for Mr..
Dayhom to do is to challenge the
house of representatives to night a
duel. Dayhoff has had experience in
that line.
The Dayhoff communication came
up along toward the close of the
morning session, after the house had
disposed of a couple of important
railroad bills. 1t was not in very
good humor, and did not seem TO care
to mix itself up with Mr.. Dayhoff' s
private grievances. Speaker Stubbs
handed the letter to the reading
clerk, and stated to the house that the
state superintendent had presented a
charges which had been made against
him.
4 move that the Communication be
laid on the table," shouted some
Second the motion" said half a
dozen others.
And so Mr. Dayhoff's neatly pre-
pared document was dumped INTO the
waste basket without even the cere-
mony of an introduction to the mouse.
OF course it is possible that some
of Dayhoff's friends will try to start
movement to revive the matter out
the sympathy of the house seems TO
be with Mr.. Stone.

the results were most satisfactory

Connect Fargo and Forks.

Grand Forks Herald: s. w. Wheel
er of the Wheeler Land Co., Moor
head, is at work interesting eastern
capital in an electric railway to run
from Crookston to Grand Forks and
Fargo. The proposed line, which has
been carefully worked out by Mr..
Wheeler, would run due west from
Crookston on the south side of the
Red Lake River, to a point opposite
Fisher, 1t would then branch, one line
running to Fargo and the other to
Grand Forks. The line would be nine
ty miles long, sixty to Fargo and thir-
ty to Grand Forks. The lines would
touch at all of the small towns and
would go through a thickly settled
country. Freight and express would
be handled, which would mean much
in addition to passenger traffic.
Mr.. Wheeler has looked the field
over carefully and believes that he
can secure the capital and that the
farmers are willing to give right of
way to get the line. He is convinced
that the matter is feasible and that
1t is one Of the possibilities OF the
summer.

Magnitude OF |. & {, EXPOSITION
North Dakota viii be Greatly Benefited by Its
Display at Portland This Year
Arrangements Made to Have Thousands Of PEOPLE STOP
Off in the State on Their Return TriD

Portland, Oregon, May 6.-That
Governor Sarles showed great wisdom
in insisting that the state of North
Dakota be represented at the Lewis
and Clark exposition is becoming more
and more evident as the show pro-
crosses and the real magnitude and
significance of the exposition becomes
apparent. That the exhibit, which
the state is installing in the agricul-
tural building will result in many peo-
pie stopping off when on their way
east from the fair, there is little
question.
One has only to look at the adver-
tisements of the railroads that cross
North Dakota in the magazines and
newspapers published east of North
Dakota and he will see the liberal
offers that they are making in the
way of stop-over privileges.
c. H. McIsaac, who has charge of
the Bureau of excursions of the ex-
position, stated a few days ago that
from information which he had COL
lected from reliable sources in east
ern states especially such states as
Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and
Michigan, he was convinced that there
would be from four to eight people
visit the Lewis and Clark exposition
where one visited the St. Louis ex-
position. One naturally asks the
question, Why is this so? The answer
is that thousands of the people of
these states are looking for locations
farther west and will take advantage
OF the rates to see what an empire
lies west of them. These people are
not coming primarily to see the fair
but to see the country.
There is no doubt but that North
Dakota, with the very attractive booth
which she will have at the exposition,
will succeed in getting large numbers
OF these people to stop off on their
return trip and look the state over
The commission has made plans to
reach a large number of the people
who will visit the fair from the east
and induce them to look the possibili-
ties of the state over.
Considerable attractive printed mat
ter is being prepared that will be used
as effectively as possible. If any
state can reach the people who will
visit the fair North Dakota certainly
can. There will probably not be a
visitor at the fair who does not look
up North Dakota for the purpose of
seeing the Roosevelt Cabin. The
cabin will be without doubt the most
attractive feature of the fair. North
Dakota has an immense advantage in
her attempt to reach the people in
that she possesses one of the drawing
cards of the fair.
A great many people have expressed
fear that most of the people who
came west would remain on the coast.
In some respects the coast is very at.
tractive but if most of the visitors get

PENSION DECISIONS.
BY the Assistant Secretary of the De-
partment Of the Interior.

BY the Assistant Secretary of the De-
partment of the Interior.
| Marriage and Divorce-A soldier
had wife living from whom he had
not been divorced at the time of his
marriage to claimant, such marriage
was null and void; and as soldiers
first wife survived him, and neither
ever having procured divorce, there
was no period of time when claimant
| andt soldier could have been legally
married, she is not his widow nor en-
titled to pension.
Line of Duty-The record shows
that the soldier incurred the disloca-
ton of his left arm, for which pension
is claimed, while scuffling in the bar
racks and that he was not in line of
duty.
Honorable Discharge-The records
of the war department showing that
claimant was honorably discharged
from the service in the war with
Mexico, the commissioner of pensions
has no lawful authority to question
such record, and must accept the fact
as certified to him by the secretary of
war.
Line of Duty-A disease contracted
by soldier while in confinement
awaiting trial for a breach of military
duty is not necessarily incurred with
out the line of duty, and when the
soldier is acquitted, or died while
awaiting trial, disease so contracted
is held to have been incurred in line
of duty.
Experimentation evidence
shows that the claimant owns prop
erty which does, or should, if prudent
ly managed, yield net income ex-
ceeding $3.50 per annum. Held: That
she is not entitled to pension under
the acts of June 81, 1890, and May 9,
1900.
Service-War with Mexico-There
is no evidence, aside from the claim.
ants statements, that he rendered
any service as an enlisted man in the
Army of the United States during the
war with Mexico. His service was as
a teamster in the quartermaster's de.
partment, which is not a pensionable
service under the act of January 20
1887.
