Doing |, Things I
With the half mile post III the
legislative race passed several
days ago the law makers are be-
lginning to close up their work.
Most Of the bills which will be.
come laws have been examined
and considered. The next few
days will see many Of them pass
led by both branches of the leg
lislature. 'Ia.
The primary election bill is
the greatest. matter Of concern
now, and while some sensational
moves have been made, those
who are pushing the matter are
not permitting the notority seek
to sWerVe them from their
course. The law will work a
radical change in state policies
aid it takes cool heads to SO
frame the law that its results
will not prove volutionary.
Contrary to the declarations Of
the hot heads your correspondent
| is convinced from a careful can
I vas Of the situation that the bill
will pass both house and senate.
The bill for the inproveme
of Rock Island military encamp-
1nent reads as follows:
There is hereby appro priated
out of any money in the state
treasury not otherwise appro-
priated the sum Of SIS, 600 for
the purpose Of cleaning up
caring for and protecting the
timber and otherwise improving
the state military encampment
grounds, Rock Island, Ramsey
county, North Dakota.
One Of the most interesting
bills for the people near the
Canadian line is that increasing
the reward for the arrest Of a
horse thief from $50 to $10O. a
A bill along the laws against
| the sale of intoxicants is that
ohibising the sale Of what are
termed non-int oxicating Ii
quors, unless. the ingredients are
Iplainly printed on the bottle.
N House bill Nc lob makes some
radical changes in the thresher S
llien laws, and provides for a
ilien of equal merit for all sup
pies furnished for thres hers, as
lWell as for the labor employed
lby him.
A bill Of more interest to the
careful farmer than the above is
the one introduced IN the house
lby Mr. Morgan requiring the
overseers of public highways to
cut all weeds along the same
between July 20, and August L.
The bill for the relief Of the
several state institutions on the
| indeb ebtedness incurred because of
the decision Of the supreme
court, carries $18, 600 for the deaf
Eschool at Devils Lake.
Mr.. Lyon has introduced al
bill in the house providing for

Michael Devaney, who was
convicted the second time Of
keeping and selling intoxicating
liquors at Crary, received a sen !.
tence OF one year in the pen.
Devaneyfis probably 70 years Of.
age, and lat one time was pros d

ing booze several years ago, and
has developed a mania for the
illegal business. He has been
in court frequently, and has al
ways been given mercy, but he
has become more bold, and

tue.

years in the per.

keeping and selling Intoxicating
liquors, were before the court.
After stating the law with re-
ference to working criminals on

proceeded to deal out sentences

prisoners had deal out to custom-

All Night Dining Cars.
A novelty In the way Of an all.night

such a service has eve been attempt

wants particularly of after.theater par.

food and refreshment during the night.
The cafe club cars are brand new, cs
are the sleeping and chair cars that
will now become a part of this train,
The cars are all full v%estibuled, and
two trains represent an expenditure OF
something like $150,000. A similar
service will be maintained northbound
between st. Louis and Chicago. II
goes without saying that the service
will be popular.

WHY EYEsIGHTFAILS
INFERIOR ARTIFICIAL LIGHT FIRE.
oUENTLY THE CAUSE.
illuminants Of the Past, One and All,
Have Serious Defeets-Acetylene
Gas, with lts Clear, Unwavering, Yet
Soft Flame Cannot Hurt the Eyes.

Chicago, June 20.-No one can
go into our schools or meet a
group of children on the street
without noticing how large number
of them wear speotacles. The proper
ton seems to increase yearly, and
there are many more who ought to
wear glasses. The experience of one
teacher might be duplicated by the
score. She knew Alice was inatten.
tive and she thought she was unusual.
ly stupid. She said so to the principal
and sent noie to the mother, re-
questing that the child be helped al
home if she wished her to keep up
with her class. One day after black
board explanation, the teacher called
had not seen what had been written.
She was kept after school and BY dint
OF much sympathetic questioning Miss
c. found that Alice had never been
able to see what was put on the board
and that her head had ached so often
and so hard that she frequently failed
20 hear what was said.
Such a condition may be caused by
lack of proper food, but in our Ameri-
can homes it is usually due to the
poor quality of the artificial light. The
yellow, insufficient light of the ordi.
nary kerosene lamp, with its smoky
chimney, is about as bad for the eyes
as can BE- imagined. The Pickering
light from coal gas jet is but little
better, and even the electric light,
brilliant as it usually is, has an un-
steadiness due to variations in power,
and a glare peculiarly trying to the
delicate nerves of sight. The compar-
atively new illuminant acetylene gas
produces as nearly perfect an artificial
light as has yet been found. 1t gives
a clear white, unwaveriLg light, very
brilliant yet perfectly soft and SO
nearly like the rays of the sun that
even colors appear as in daylight
Fortunately, acetylene is very easily
and cheaply produced, and the simple
apparatus necessary can be purchased
and installed in any home at a very
moderate cost, and the acetylene can
be piped to convenient points in the
house where a light is needed. 1t is
then lighted and extinguished and used
exactly like common city gas.
Acetylene is rapidly coming into
common use in homes. churches,
schools and institutions of all kinds,
and it is reasonable to expect that as
its use in the home increases, there
will DE fewer defective eyes, particu-
larly among children. Poor eyesight
and the many ills resulting therefrom
will undoubtedly be much reduced by
the use of this new illuminant.

RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION.

At the biennial convention of the
Order of Railway Conductors recent
ly held at Portland, Oregon, resolu-
tons were unanimously adopted voic-
ing their sentiments as to the effect
of proposed railway rate legislation
on the 100000 railroad employees,
whom they in part represented. These
resolutions Endorse the attitude of
President Roosevelt in condemning
secret rebates and other illegalities,
and commend the attitude of the
heads of American Railways, who,
with practical unanimity, have joined
with the president on this question"
They then respectfully point out to
Congress the "inadvisability of legis-
lation vesting in the hands Of a COM
mission power over railway rates.
now lower by far in the United
States than in any other country"
because such regulation would result
in litigation and confusion and in
evitably tend to an enforced reduc-
ton in rate, irrespective of the ques-
ton of the ability of the railroads to
stand the reduction, especially in view
Of the increased cost of their supplies
aud Materials They further protest
ed against such power being given to
the present Interstate Commission
because 1.-The proposed legislation is
not in harmony with our idea of
American Jurisprudence, inasmuch as
it contemplates that 4 single body
shall have the right to investigate,
indict, try, condemn and then enforce
its decisions at the cost of the car
riers, pending appeal. which is mani

Thu conductors base their demand
for only such legislation, if any, as
would secure and insure justice and

parties concerned" on the ground that
