appeared and demanded that a

pointed to look into his record as

JUNE MAKES
NEW RECORD.
The Minimum Temperature
Attained During Month
Makes New Mark.

The month of June, 1905, will
go on record as the coolest June
IN years, according to the
statistics of the various weather
observers. It has attained a
lower minimum temperature
than in any June in years and in
the number of cool days it con-
tanned it is. said to be rival Of
October. The maximum for the
month has been less than 90. In
matter of precipitation it is also
a record breaker and more rain
has fallen than for the same
month in the past 10 years. No
particular damage has resulted,
however. The hay harvest will be
late as a result and the growth of
small grains and garden stuff
has been somewhat retarded but
a few balmy days will right all
this. Summer resorts in this
section have suffered as a result
OF the cool weather and taken all
in all it has more nearly APP
preached October than the legend.
airy month Of bowers and balmy
atmospheric perfection.

the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an infamed

this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it's entirely

Stephen N. Collils, Alias
Archie Keene, Confesses to
Forging Check.
RETURNED NEARLY ALL OF
MONEY HE SECURED.
Will Be Bound Over to District
Court Tomorrow Afternoon
Sentence Later.

Stephen M Collins, alias
Archie Keene, today confessed to
having forged the $3.50 check on
R. r. Bly, that was cashed Fri.
day, and tomorrow afternoon at
2o'clock he will be bound over to
the district courtby Judge Skin
vik charged with forgery i'll the
second degree, the penalty for
which is not to exceed 10 years
in states prison.
Collins admitted his guilt as
soon as he was arrested by the
Duluth police and upon the ar
rival Of Deputy Sheriff John
Bailey at Duluth he turned over
1925 of the money which he Sc.
cured for the check. He was
taken back to Bemidii and con-
fined in the county Jail. This
morning he was arraigned before
Judge Skinvik, where he ad.
mitted everything in connection
With the forgery. His hearing
was continued until 2 O'Clock this
afternoon, and it was again con
tinued to 2 o'clock tomorrow at.
ternoon because of the absence
from the city of District Judge
Spooner.
The complaining witnesses
against young Collins, W. H
Roberts and R. R. Bly,, appeared
| in justice court this afternoon
and asked County Attorney Nc
Donald to make the charge
against the young man as light
as possible, and as a consequence
it was made forgery in the second
ucSIeG.
Collins stated that he was 22
years Of age and that he had
never before been arrested on q
serious charge.
1t is very probable that the
sentence imposed upon young
Collins will be a term of years in
the state reformatory.
The young man evidently has
been travelling under an assumed
name while in Bemidji, as he has
always gave the name of Keene
before his arraignment this
morning.

to make from one half to one foot

The university people, as we'll as

The university people, as well as
those interested in the normal
schools of the state, will no doubt
rejoice over the passage of the
house bill by both branches of the
legislature removing the univer-
sity and the normal schools from
the supervision of the board of con-
troll. The senate passed the bill
last Tuesday afternoon, the friends
OF the measure having plenty of
votes to spare. New buildings will

OF the board of control, which board
will also attend to the insurance of

commencing with the creation Of
the board in 1901. when these insti-
buttons were surreptitiously placed

sion since then the educational in

NEW LIBRARIAN.
Miss Arabella Martin of Hastings Elected
tor This City.

At meeting of the library board
held the first of the month, Miss
Arabella Martin was the unanimous
choice of the board for the position
of librarian of the new library. The
board was governed in its action by
the fact that Miss Martin was the
only candidate who had equipped
herself for the work by special
courses of study covering about
three years.
The growth of the library idea
throughout the United States has
created a demand for librarians
with a professional equipment for
their work, and has raised the call
ing to the rank of one of the learn
ed professions.
The board we're advised by the
managers OF a plumber Of successful
libraries that it would be necessary
to have an expert to properly cata-
logue and arrange it's collections at

that they are fortunate in securing

The proposition to have county
schools of agriculture has passed
the house, the measure being one
fathered by L. FL. Johnson of Hen
nepin county, who has travelled
more or less over this state and
Wisconsin, and who was deeply
impressed with the school at Me-
nominee. It is believed that the
bill will pass the senate. The pro-
visions of the bill are such that if
10 per cent of the voters of any
county petition the county commits
sioners to call special election to
vote on the proposition of establish
ing a county school of agriculture
the commissioners must proceed
and issue the call. and then will
come the question Of voting on the
proposition and the amount OF bonds
to be issued. After school is
once established it will receive
liberal aid from the state. The
school at Menominee, Wis, is one
that commends itself to every be-
lever in agricultural training, and
if similar schools can be established
over Minnesota it will give the
farmer boys and girls an opportun-
ity to obtain an agricultural educa-
ton without going far away from
home. 1t might be we'll for Red
wood county to consider the propo-
sition, providing the bill is passed
by the senate.

FEDERAL SUPERVISION.


The demand for federal supervision

urged such action by congress, and an
Insurance company president who is

I1oviding for such supervision.
There are legal difficulties in the
way 1t has never been affirmed that
All insurance policy is an article of

supreme court has never directly
passed upon the question, but it has
decided that a lottery ticket was an
article of commerce. If congress made
Q ste tute defining an insurance policy
as an article of commerce, it would
undoubtedly be gravely considered by
