SENATE DECIDES ON
ANOTHER CHAPLAIN
Upper Body Makes Change at
the Request of Gov.
johnson

Contrary to the announcement, the Re-
publican sena tors "a not hold a caucus
last night to formally agree upon slate
of officials. 1t was expected that the
members would gather in the senate
chamber in the new capitol at the same
time the house caucus met. but the senate
chamber remained locked.
This was because a caucus was un-
necessary. Two weeks ago the "sena-
torial syndicate otherwise known as the
patronage club met at the Minneapolis
club and fixed the slate which will go
through without a fracture when the
senate meets at noon today.
One. change in the list of officers pub
lished is already known. Instead of Rev.
G.. c. Pollock. of Litchfield, formerly slat-
ed for chaplain, the honor will be be-
slowed upon Rev. Lewis Hall, of st. Peter.
Rev. Mr.. Hall is pastor of the Presby-
terian church, OF which Gov. Johnson IS
a member, and his appointment as chap
lain is said to be due to the expressed de-
sire of the governor.
Senator A. d. Stephens, of Croolston,
will place in nomination the man selected
for engrossing clerk
That S. A. Langum, of Preston, and
Thomas Downs, of Minneapolis, are GER
tain of election as secretary and sergeant
at-arms of the senate there is little doubt.
Two other changes are. looked for in
the original slate, which included A. d.
Countryman, of Appleton, for first as
sistant secretary; c.. B. Wallen, of Glen
wood, for second assistant; w. III. Alton,
of st. Paul, for enrolling clerk, and II. j.
West. of St. Cloud, for assistant SER
geant-at-arms.

But FOUR REMAIN
Few of States First LeaisIa-
tors Are Still Alive

The meeting Of the thirty fourth
session Of the Minnesota legislature re-
calls the fact that there are alive four
men who were members of the terri
torial legislature, which convened in
ST. Paul more than fifty years ago.
They are:
Parsons K. Johnson, OF Brainerd;
Benjamin III. Randall WInona: John
D. Ludden and William p. Murray, of
st. Paul. -
Parsons K. Johnson was a member
of house of representatives in 1S49;
BENJAMIN H. Randall, 1S51-52-5 John
D. Ludden, 1851-52-53, and William p.
Murray was in the house in 1928.
and the council in 1886. Mr.. Lud-
den was speaker OF house of repre-
sentatives in 1852. William P. Murray
was president of the council in 1855.
Mr.. Ludden was subsequently a menu
Der of the council in 1856-57. William
P. Murray was member of the house
in 1867. This was prior to the organi-
cation Of the state government.
The session of 1857 was the one in
which the memorable territorial capt.
tol fight came, when Joseph Rolette, a
member from Penbina, played the
heather Chinee upon the town Of ST.
Peter, and brought Gov. Jehnson's
town to grief. Mr.. Murray was elected
member of the house in 1868-but
did not qualify, being absent from the
state. Mr.. Murray, however, was a
member Of the senate in 1866 81 -75-76.
These four old men, all of whom
have passed the three score and ten

on buffalo robes, in tents, and out of
doors, made good laws, and history for

night Beautiful as the edifce is by
light of day, it is ever more picturesque
when illuminated from dome to basement
and from end to end with thousands of
brilliant incandescent lamps.
Its conspicuous location rendering it
visible from every quarter of the city
made the edifice the cynosure of all eyes
after darkness had set In The dome
stood out brilliantly, crowded at its apex
with circles of sparkling lights and
Wreathed around its greater eircumfer-
ef1ce with clusters of them, while the
immense circular ssylights over the
house, senate and supreme court cham
bers radiated a blaze of light from each
extremity of the edifice.

striking of which was the immense il

Thousands Visit New Capitol
Thousands of people not content with
viewing the illuminated capitol from a
distance visited it last evening. AS eau
euses OF the Republican members of the
mousse and senate had been announced
they came to see the legislative halls and
likewise to behold the MATES lawmakers
IN tneir official seats. 1t SO happened the
senate did not hold a caucus and the
chamber was locked. but the house mem
pers held their caucus. ami the galleries
were packed. Hundreds of women were
there. indeed they seemed to be in the
majority. They remained patiently and
watched as though interested in the rou-
tine business of indorSing the slate from
speaker to chaplain, and then inspected
at their leisure the house chamber and
the rich smoking room adjoining it,
That the visitors as Minnesota tax
payers felt proud of the new capitol was
freely and frequently demonstrated by
bits Of conversation to be overheard as
the people ieisurely left the building.

LEAGUE TO DISCUSS
W[IcHTY PROBLEMS
Municipal and Commercial
Body viii Meet Next
Week

The convention Of the Municipal and
Commercial league, which will take
place in Minneapolis next week, COM
mencing Wednesday, will handle some
large questions and from the opinions
expressed by several of the members of
the body nearly every one of them will
be discussed from at least two Sides
At the last convention the league
passed resolutions of radical nature
with regard to the great railroad prob
lens in the state. The gist Of the
measure was as follows:
1t was proposed to give the railway
commission power to make rates in
such cases as it was made to appear
to the commission that such action
would correct substantial injustices.
That the rates so made should go into
effect pending adjudication by the
courts.
That there should be no suspension
of the long haul clause of the inter-
state commerce act except by specific
permission of the railway commission.
This clause prohibits charging a less
rate for greater distance in the same
direction when the less distance is
wholly included within the greater.
These matters will be given careful
consideration by the delegates and both
sides will have an opportunity to be
heard.
Freight Classification
The state freight classification and
distance tariff Of Iowa will also come
in for consideration. In this connec-
ton it is pointed out by members that
Iowa is gridirened with railroads and
that the conditions are not of such a
nature that they can be justly COM
pared with those in Minnesota.
The fact that the number OF roads
in Iowa is such that the transport Of
freight 100 miles in any direction ffom
any point within the state would not
result in palpab1e discrimination
against any other point is contested
as far as Minnesota is concerned and
1T is pointed out by those who oppose
the enactment of such law in this
state that it would have very seri-
GUS effect on the commercial prosperity
of many places in the state, because it
would practically abolish the idea of
common points with common rates and
place the more distant at a serious dis
advantage.
Under the present system whole
series of towns is given an equal rate
to the market center even though the
rail route from the most distant Is fifty
or even 100 miles further away from
market than the nearest. This gives
the far towns an equal chance with
the others in placing the goods on
sale. With a distance tariff, it is al
legged. the rates would bar the distant
points from competition and would
of the commodities.

At Chatham, England, a short time
ago, COW was being driven home
from market by the purchaser. when
it started in pursuit of a little girl
named Dickinson. The girl took refuge
in her house, and her mother had bare
ly time to barricade the sitting room
door with chairs and a sewing ma
chine when the COW commenced to
butt it. The animal then proceeded to
stumble upstairs. and in the front bed
room wrought much havoc among the
furniture and fittings. A great crowd
had by this time assembled in the
street. One of the spectators ran in
and opened wide the bedroom window,
out of which the COW almost immedi-
ately put its head and forelegs. It's
hoofs slipping on the uncovered
roof of the bay window, it fell bodily
into the street. to the accompaniment
of great smashing of glass. The
crowd bolted in all directions, but the
beast, which was practically unin-
jured, was secured before any further
damage was done.

WASHINGTON NAMED.
Place Where Belligerents Will Treat
for Peace.

Washington, June 16.-Americas
national capital has been selected as
the seat of negotiations between the
plenipotentiaries of Russia and Japan
for treaty of peace. The choice of
Washington as the location of the
peace conference marks another for
ward step in the negotiations toward
ultimate peace on the plan suggested
by President Roosevelt. Japan had
suggested Che Foo and refused to
consent to Paris, which was the choice
of Russia. The President then named
The Hague as a desirable location, but
both belligerents objected, and they
finally agreed upon Washington.
Should the capitol prove too hot, the
plenipotentiaries may adjourn to some
northern summer resort for time.
1t is thought that the peace confer
ence will not begin before the middle
of August.
Pressure is being exerted upon ia
pan to be moderate in her demands by
European powers and the President. 1t
is asserted that an indemnity of bill
lion dollars is to much and 1t is not be-
heved that Japan will ask over half a
billion.

Jareckl Was Murdered.

Denver, June 16.-A jury in the Fed
eral Court Wednesday decided that
Seymour T. Jarecki probably had been
killed by some foe, and that enough
proof had not been adduced to support
the theory of suicide.
The verdict was in the case of
Theresa Jarecki versus the Conserva-
tive Life Insurance Company. in which
the widow of the deceased doctor sued
to recover the amount of a life policy,
together with interest since the doc
tors death. Payment was resisted on
the ground that the doctor had taken
his own life. and that the provisions of
the policy had therefore been vio-
lated
The widow brought in proof of her
husbands death. of the attempt on his
life when he was county physician,
and the suspicious circumstances sur
rounding his death. Among these were
the bullet hole that had been shot
through the screen door of his resi-
dence from the outside, and the condi-
ton of the gates in the back yard,
which were left open. as though some
one had hurriedly escaped in that di-
rection.
The defense urged that Jarecki was
in financial trouble and had threatened
to take his own life. The jury brought
in verdict for the plaintiff for s5,20S,
which vas the full amount Of the in
surance, with interest added.

Some interesting statistics have
been compiled in regard to the growing
sugar beet industry of Colorado by
President J. r. McKinnie of the West
ern Sugar and Land Company, operat-
ing largely in the Grand valley.
Colorado's sugar beet acreage, 1885,.
900 acres, comprises $4,000 acres in the
northern section of the state, $4,000
acres In Arkansas valley, and 1000
in the Grand River valley.
The total crop for 1905 will approx
mate 1,250,000 tons. At a conservative
estimate of IS per ton, Colorado farm
ers will receive s6,250,000.
The sugar output will be l25, 900
tons, and at $50 per ton, the Colorado
manufacturers will receive $4,000, 900,
with an additional s2,000000 from by
products, of which molasses is one of
the most important.
The cost of labor and manufacture
will amount to $500, 900, with an ad-
ditional $1,500,000 for coal, coke and
lime.
The total investment in Colorado SUI
gar beet factories is s12,000,0OO. 1t is
estimated that the net interest will be
s per cent. for this year.
Another important item in the sta
tistics is the benefit received by Colo
RADIO coal. coke and lime dealers, who
receive the s1,500,000 expended for
these supplies.
Sheep and cattle growers of the state
get the bulk of the profit from the pulp
and beet tops.

ing for information on the war and
was surprised to receive in reply a
magazine of 40 pages on THE Russo

English on good paper and is profusely
illustrated in half-tones. Aside from
the printers name which appears on
the cover, there is nothing TO show
that it was not gotten out in a first
class American printing establishment
and is clearly an imitation of our mag
azine. 1t deals with the war from

Then he completely broke down.
Evidently his mental sufferings were
acute, for he desired to avoid the
subject, and during the remainder o.

The Beet Web Worm.

The beet web worm is expected to
make its appearance in Colorado
again this year. In regard to this
pest Prof. G. p. Gillette Of the Agri-
cultural College says:
The beet growers cannot prepare
too soon for the web worm. The
mother moths are reported to be nu-
merous and where this is the case the
owner of the field should lose no time
in procuring a spray pump and some
combination of arsenic, as arsenite Of
lime, arsenate of lead, Paris green or
London purple. Arsenate of lead il
more easily mixed and applied, but is
by far the most expensive poison to
use. Paris green settles badly in the
barrel or tank that is used, and must
be kept thoroughly stirred. The chief
objection to Paris green last year in
Colorado was its serious adulteration
with white arsenic, causing it to burn
foliage.
"These poisons may be applied dry
by means of dust sprayers or by shak-
ing them through porous cloth sacks
carried in the hands, or they may be
applied in water by means of force
pump and spraying MOBILES attached to
a barrel or tank. | believe the wet
dppllCdllOn Is Jne DesL where IL Is coH-
venient. Our experience at the col
lege demonstrates the following pre-
paration to be the most satisfactory:
One pound of Paris green to fifty gal
Ions of water; six pounds of arsenate
of lead to 100 gallons of water; ar
semitic of lime: boil together white
arsenic, lime and water for a full
half hour in the following proportions:
One pound white arsenic, two pounds
of lump lime, three gallons of water;
then dilute with 100 gallons of water
and apply.
"The beet growers need not be I'M
duly alarmed over visions of beet
fields being devastated by the web
worm. but it is the part of wisdom to
invest few dollars in poison and ap-
paratus to destroy these pests when
they do appear"
