Kill An I-PASS BILL
SENATE MEMBERS VOTE TO IN.
DEFINITELY POSTPONE Pc.
TERsoN,s MEASURE.
.tMITH's SALARY INCREASE. BILL
ONCE MORE FAILS TO PASS
IN THE HOUSE.

st. Paul, March 25.-When the SEN
ate judiciary committee reported out
The Peterson anti-pass bill Friday for
an indefinite postponement, Senator
Cole presented a minority report, ask
ing that the bill be printed and placed
On general orders.
Mr. Peterson said that passes
should be abolished. The railroads
claimed they were losing money on
passenger traffic. Be that as it may,
t was his opinion that such carriers
we're deriving large revenue from all
sources. He thought a 211scent pas
senger rate would be fair.
After considerable talk on the sub
iect the motion to adopt the minority
report was defeated by a vote of 81
to 26.
A minority report was presented
Friday from the senate finance COM
mittee, on Senator Coles bill, original
" fixing the salary of the insurance
commissioner at $4,000. The majority
report favored fixing the salary. of that
officer at $4,000, and the minority re-
port at $4,000. The present salary
IS $1,000.
Minority Report Voted Down.
The minority report also favored
Topping off the actuary and cashier
employed in that Office.
The minority report was voted
downs to II.
Two temperance measures were Of
fered in the house. One, by o. e.
Hogue, prohibits the sale Of intoXicat-
ing liquors to habitual drunkards.
Senator Rieke entered a vigorous
protest against referring bill of his,
now on general orders, to the finance
committee The bill of Mr.. Rieke
seeks to raise the salaries of district
and supreme judes.
At the opening of the session Sena-
tor Thorpe moved the reference to
the senate committee, but later with
drew his motion
Senator Stephens introduced bill
providing for an appropriation of
$4,000 for the equipment of a state
farm at Crookston.

SUBSCRIPTION IS PER YEAR
A Ra tional System.

Senator a. D. Stephens has in
troduced a bill to provide for a
constitutional amendment by
which the cost Of drainage may be
assessed against the state lands
benefited and may be paid out
of the price obtained for these
lands. The plan is a most ra.
tional one. It has been conclus-
lively demonstrated that drainage
of state lands has added to their
value two and three hundred per
cent so that in every case the in
creased value Of the land has far
more than paid for the expense
of drainage. In other words the
state has made a profit on every
ditch it has dug in northern
Minnesota while at the same time
vastly benefting private lands.
Senator Stephens plan will
avoid the necessity Of biennial
appropriations for drainage and
will furnish abundant means
with which to carry on the work
on a scale which the needs Of
northern Minnesota demand and
that without adding a penny to
the burden of the tax payers Of
the state.

GA few mornings ago Mr.. J.

this place, came to the store for
medicine says Dr.. Parnell, of
Maplesville, Ala. 'sHe was SO
hoarse that he could hardly talk
and said that he had coughed all
the night before. I sold him a
bottle Of Cham berlain's Cough
Remedy and told him that if it
did not relieve him he might
bring the bottle back and get his

AMUSEMENT

Tomorrow evening at the Opera
House Manager Wheelock will
present for the first time here
the successful scenic comedy
drama "A Hidden Crime" The
play is from the pen of John P.
Lockney. J. M. Morgan has made
an elaborate production of Mr..
Lockney's play and the critics of
all the larger cities have spoken
kindly of it. The play is a dra-
matte tale of love and intrigue,
with pride on one side and hate
and jealousy on the other, are the
motives impelling the actions OF
the chief operators. There is a
wealth Of human interest in the
play and the comedy element is
said to be unusually strong.
The scenes are laid in and
around San Francisco, showing
the beautiful Golden Gate Har-
Dor, Chinatown, aDd it's opium
and absinthe fiends, the magnif
cent Rose Garden in full bloom,
and the sensational breaking of a
suspension bridge.
The cast selected by Mr.. Ward
for "a Hidden Crime" included
Mr.. John P. Lockney, the author,
and Miss Pauline Fletcher.

The Country Beats The
Town.

FoRthe next fiscal year twenty
six million dollars will be spent
in maintaining rural free delivery
routes. This is three millions
more than city free delivery
costs.
Although the rural delivery
system was begun only eight
years ago it has already outstrip-
ped the city delivery system
while the demand for additional
rural routes is daily increasing
ata tremendous rate. There are
today 81, 900 rural delivery routes
against $1,000 city routes, and of
these almost twelve hundred are
in Minnesota, while the depart
ment is planning to install many
more in the state within short
time.
The rural delivery system bids
fair to become within very few
years the most important division
Of the entire postal system.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H.. Aug. 14-lt
seems to be taken for granted among
the attaches of both the Japanese and
Russian missions that there will be
no general battle in Manchuria while
the peace negotiations are on.
Oyama is known to be prepared to
strike the moment the negotiations
fail and there may be more Or less
skirmishing and outpost engagements
while the troops are getting in posi-
lion, hut il is admitted on each side
that If either Oyama or Linevitch
should deliberately bring on gen
eral engagement which might cost 30,
600 or 100000 lives, his country would
be accused of bad faith in the ncgotia-
tons here and would inevitably lose
prestige in the eyes OF the world.
In the larger sense, therefore, it
can he said that an armstice already
exists in Manchuria.
Should the negotiations he vainly
prolonged and il it should become evil
dent that they were To he frliitless tho
