they'll print the whole truth about Mont
gomery Brewster and his millions.
They've got the Sedgwick will and my
story, and the old town will boil with ex-
element. I guess you'll be squared before
the world all right You'd better stay In
doors for awhile, though, II you want to
have quiet honeymoon.
I don'tr like New York; never did. Am
going back to Butte tonight Out there
we have real skyscrapers, and they are
not built Of brick. They are two or three
miles high. and they have gold in 'em.
There is real grass in the lowlands, and
we have valleys that make Central park
look like half an inch of nothing.
Probably you and Mrs Brewster were
going to take wedding trip, SO why not
go west with me in my car? We start
at 7:45 p. M. and I won't bother you.
Then you can take it anywhere you like.
Sincerely yours,

The Aurora Zouaves, from Illi-

are exciting the wonder of regular

awake boys and their evolutions are so
varied and quickly changing that all
attempts to follow in description is
absolutely futile. The manual is per-
performed with clockwork-like or

softly as cats; they come

escalade that follows is accomplished
with the same unceasing motion that
marks their drill. One follows another

liantly attractive and exciting.

BILLS ARE ENDORSED
Directors of Commercial Club
Approve Four Measures

A special meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Commercial club yester-
day considered four measures recon-
mended for passage by the Ramsey
county legislative delegation.
The bills were: Senate file No. 2S2.
authorizing an issue of $500. 900 of wa
ter bonds: senate file No. 160, giving
power to the water board to condemn
land adjacent to the water supply of
st. Paul; the matter of building the
bridge at Fort Smelling and the Morley
bill to appropriate 5000, 900 to build a
big stock pavilion at the state fair
grounds.
The directors of the club indorsed each
OF the proposed laws. Secretary E. w.
Randall of the state fair spoke in favor
of the Morley bill. He said that Min
nesota's prosperity depended in large
measure on the character and blood of
the live stock, particularly cattle owned
by stock raisers and farmers all over
the state. He pointed out the fact that
the secretary of the Hereford, Short
horn and Polled Angus associations
had notified him that they would not
exhibit here again unless better provi-
sions were made for the display of their
entries. They said that a tent was a
poor protection for biOoded stock such
as is shown here.
He urged on the directors that the
cattle associations had it in their pow
er to hurt Minnesota very much and
asked that the directors indorSe the
bill. This was done without much fur
ther debate.

KERWiN TO. RESIGN
lie Sueur Man Said to Be
Ready to Quit

The capitol, it is said, is soon to be
treated to the Spectacle of a Republican
state official rendering his resignation.
I. j. kerwin of LIE Sueur is credited
with an intention to resign his place
as second assistant attorney general.
Mr.. Kerwin, the politicians say, has
already acquainted Attorney General
r. I. Young of his determination and
Mr.. Young has practically decided
upon Kerwin's successor.
A1r. Kerwin was appointed to the
post or assistant attorney general in
Difference to prediction promise In
fact, his appointment was agreed to
before the state convention that nomi-
mated Z. L. Young for attorney general
was held The LIE Sueur man brought
Sundry delegates from the Minnesota
valley counties to the state convention
pledged TO Young for attorney general,
and Mr.. Young's campaign committee
made the arrangement with Kerwin
that resulted in his. assuming the of
flee of assistant attorney general with
the incoming administration.
The work of the office is extremely
onerous. and the LIE Sueur man has not
felt that admiration for his first state
office that he had anticipated would fol-
low its incumbency.- Then the poll
ticians say that there has been no eff
fort in the attorney generals office
TO make the burden fall any too lightly
on a man who had been appointed
purely ferupOlitical -expediency.
The result of the accumulation of
hard work has forced MF. Kerwin to
his determination to resign his job and
go back to lie Sueur. The change, it is
currently reported. may be made be-
fore the end of the legislative session.

PARENTS ARE DENIED
BODY OF DAUGHTER
State Law Blocks Plans of Father and
Mother of Martha Klein

Hoping that when they returned to
their home in Rochester. Mimi, they
might take with them the body of their
daughter, Martha Klein, who died last
Friday at the detention hospital, Mr.
and Mrs. Emanuel Klein came to St
Paul yesterday. only to be privileged
to visit the grave of their daughter and
to return home disappointed in their
great desire.
The Kleins. live on a farm mile out
of Rochester. Although they knew that
smallpox had caused the death of their
daughter, they were quite ignorant Of
the state law which strictly prohibits
the disinterment and transportation of
the bodies of persons stricken with that
dread disease. The knowledge that their
daughters body must remain buried so
far away from their home was great
blow to them.
They came to st. Paul, accompanied
by their daughter Miss Minnie Klein,
and at once went to the offices of the
health department, where they met As
sistant Health Commissioner Danes.
He explained the law to them and con-
Quoted them to the grave in Roselawn
cemetery, where their daughter is

KEEP UP THE LIMIT
Insurance Agents Defeat Pro.
posed Cut in Pay

Pressure by Insurance agents proved
too strong for the house insurance
committee when it met at the Ryan
hotel last night, and the committee
voted to strike out a provision from
the special committees bill limiting
commissions to Is per cent The insur-
ance companies had agreed to save to
the assured of the state s150,000 a year
in reductions in rates if the clause was
retained, but the pressure was SO
strong that the committee agreed to
amend the bill to assist the local
agents.
The compact feature of the bill was
rejected by a vote of 6 to 5 and the
nonunion companies win a victory by
this decision. The amended bill con-
tains the fire marshal provision of the
old bill and a fairly comprehensive
anti compact clause. The bill as
amended by the committee is a practi-
cal duplicate of the Lord senate bill,
and it will be substituted for the
Rockne bill in the house.
Fred V. Brown and James Shearer,
attorneys for the insurance companies,
spoke for the original committee bill.
Among the agents who appeared to op-
pose the bill were: George V. B. Hill,
Jacob Stone, Edward Forester, G. B.
Shove and H. E. G. Kemp. The COM
mittee meeting continued until II
