Check To Watered Stock.

March I7.-Governor and, Senator
LaFollette today made public another
issue which he will contest ia Wis
consin, and doubtless will urge in the
national Senate.
He proposes that railroads shall be
prevented from watering their stock
by restricting the issue Of stock and
bonds to fair proportion OF the as
ssssed valuation OF the corporation s
physical property.
State Senator James A. Pr.ar, La
Follette's leader in tae Legislature on
railroad questions, introduced new
bill drawn for La Toilette providing
that the State Board OF Assessment.
which now makes the assessment OF
the railroads for the purposes of tax
alton, shall countersign every bond
or certificate OF railroad stock issued
on property il Wisconsin and that
the aggregate of such stock and bonds
shall not be greater than half the
assessed valuation The measure s
generally looked upon as drastic and
OF questionable constitutionality

Obituary

In loving remembrance oil my dear
uncle. Henry Beekley. who departed
this life Feb. S Of PARALYSIS.
We miss thee from our home uncle,
We miss thee from thy place,
A shadow Ger my lie was cast,
The day we laid you away,
Your grave looked so dark and lonely
uncle.
| hated to leave thee there.
But oh, hope to meet you,
Oh that beautiful golden shore,
There to be see and know my uncle,
And to be with you ever more,
For the blush of dawn may yet re-
store,
Our light and hope and Joy once
more.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
In thy grave SO cold and low,
Yet again We hope to meet the,
When the day OF life is fed,
And in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Sad and lonely has been my lot,
Since my dear uncle's death,
But If ] put my trust in God,
I'll will meet him by asd by,
In that happy home on high,
When there will no more parting be.

SWAN IN THE BRINE.
A. e. Clark Tested the Qualities Of
Great Salt Lake.


A. E. Clark, who returned Saturday
from his western trip, states that he
was considerably struck with Salt Lake
City, Utah. He had long conversations
with a Mormon and a Gentle, and got
both sides of the Mormon question at
first hand. He also visited the taber
nacle. He was pleased with the city,
and took a dip in Great Salt lake. 1t
was merely a dip, for a person cannot
get very far down in the water, unless
he ties weight about him. The water
is so salt that person can only swim
on his back. His feet rise so that he
cannot keep his nose out of the water
if he attempts to swim on his face. The
water is bracing, and many enjoy the
baths there. About all person does is
to lie on his back in the water, with
his face and feet out of the water.

MAY NOT RESIGN POST.
Pastor Of Trinity Norwegian Lutheran
Church May Remain.

FROM lnuTSudy y daily.
At the regular monthly meeting of
the members of the Trinity Norwegian
Lutheran church, held last evening,
there was considerable discussion over
the call that Rev. M. B. Michaelson,
the pastor, has received to take charge
of much larger church of that de-
nomination located at Willmar, Mimi.
The congregation as well as the COM
munity in general dislikes exceedingly to
have Mr.. Michaelson 60. The minister
stated last evening that he knew of no
reason at all why he should leave Man
kato. If he feels that the Lord calls
him to other work he will be obliged to
60, and no inducements can keep him.
1t is not generally thought among the
members of the church that Rev. Mich
aelson will resign.

KOCH TO MINNEAPOLIS.
New UIm Dentist Decides to Move to
Flour City.

from tuesday 5 daily.
New Tim, Aug. 22.-Dr. George r.
Koch has decided that he will locate
in Minneapolis. This decision was ar
rived at last evening, when he had con
suited with friends and they had agreed
Sights of those who were disposed to
believe him guilty and the discouraging
results of the suspicion that rested so
heavily upon him, the best thing for
him to do would be to get into a larger
place. As he has many friends in Min
neapolis who have advised him to go to
that place, they were agreed that it
would be the best thing for all concern
ed if he gave up his practice here.
Dr. Koch does not fancy the idea of
leaving the city for the reason that
he is afraid there are those who will
say he was driven out.
A story comes from Owatonna to the
effect that rumor has gained circula-
ton in that city that owing to the fact
that he knew DIR. Koch was not the
murderer of DR.. Gerhard, but did know
who the murderer was, and therefore
did not want to see the wrong man
hanged, and yet could not reveal the
name of the murderer, prominent res
ident of New Tim, who has relatives in
Steele county, some of whom are we'll
TODD farmers, raised several thousand
dollars there to defend DR.. Koch in his
third trial.
There seems to be no grounds for the
report which officials are unable to trace
to its source. The rumors are of the
same old kind and there is always a
hint that there is woman mixed up
in the case. While the relatives of DIR.
Koch are not what would be called rich,
they are nevertheless well off and have
met all the bills out of their own funds.
