Salary raising bills do not gener-
ally appeal to the public with much.
force. This is a matter which the
public 10 not concerned about so
much as that these men do their full
measure OF duty to the country. The
arguments adduced to support a bill
of this character are not new. They
apply equally to every sphere OF &C
tivity. Every man is anxious to get
an increase 10 his salary, and par
ticularly is this true, since trust
prices have largely increased the
cost of living. But it is obvious
that a proper place at which to be-
gin to increase salaries is to cutdown
the cost Of living. The cost Of liv.
ing has almost doubled in the past
ten years and this is due in large
part to the high protective tariff and
the trusts. The public might regard
a bill Of this character with more
favor these congressman should
show some disposition to reduce the
cost Of the necessaries Of life to the
community. Let the congressman
begin here aud accomplish some eff
fective legislation to ameliorate the
common people and then it will lie
time to consider a bill of the charac-
ter introduced by Senator Stewart.

The sale of licenses to hunt game

lature of 1905 has exceeded the expec-
tations of the game and fish commits
sion. When the season was about half
over S. +. Fullerton, executive agent of
the commission. estimated the total
number at l2.l00 The employees in the
office and friends made guesses rang
ing from ii ,53S to $4,000 and staked
small pot on the exact number that
would be issued before the close of the
season. The $4,000 man got the pot yes
terday, when it was found that the re-
ports from the county auditors so far
showed over $4,000 licenses issued to
residents of the state with a few more
to be heard from.
The license fee is 81. OF this tine
county auditor gets 10 cents and the
state the remainder, which will net the
state about $4,000. The $25 fee on

fees from whitefish and fish houses IL
censes will net the state another $S,-
600, making total revenue of $4,000.

THOUGHTTHEY WERE TRAMPS
Two Young Men Who Had Never Rode
on Railroad Train.

from tuesdays Daily.
You have all heard of how MANY o.
the old mOssbacks down south are still
voting for Andrew jackson, for presi-
dent of these United States, but when
you are told that there are young men
of eighteen and twenty years of age i'll
Minnesota that have never rode on a
railroad train, you will hardly credit
the information. But it's fact, never
theless. A few nights since Free Press
representative was en- route to st. Paul
from town on the banks of the Father
of Waters. He was aboard of j. 7. Muir
phys train. the Flying Dutchman,' on
the Milwaukee road and heard the story
of two young men who attempted to
make the "blind baggage" of the. train
at Minnie5ka. The brakeman bounced
them off and the road detective took
punch at the fellows, supposing them
to be tramps. 1t was afterward learn
ed that the two young men were born
and raised about seven miles out from
the town and had never enjoyed ride
on railroad train. They had purchased
tickets for point up the line and had
inquired the way to the smoker. They
thought they were getting on that car
when the trainmen hustled them off.

CHARGED WITH STEALING.
Annie Voter Arrested for PiIferine
Store Where Employed.
From Tuesdays Daily.

rIoiI IueSIldy > bdliy.
Annie Voter, confidential clerk and
trusted employee of a prominent cloak
and suit house on Nicollet avenue, Min
neapolis, was arrested last night at Fari-
bault by Detectives Lyons and Written
sohn. She was brought back to Mime
apOlis and turned over to Police Matron
Schafer at the central station, charged
with grand larceny. 1t is alleged by the
police that the woman has been steal
ing Systematically from her employer
for time extending over several
months and that the toal value of the
stolen articles amounts to at least
81 600
When the woman went to Faribault a
few days ago, the officers secured a
search warrant and went through her
rooms with the result that several hun
bred dollars worth of goods alleged to
have been stolen, were unearthed The
loot consisted of valuable cloaks, tailor
made suits, walking skirts, shirt waists
and other women's wearing apparel. 1t
was all taken to police headquarters,
where it was identified by the owner and
will be used as evidence i'll court.
1t is thought that more will be found
later, although it is supposed that she
has had time to dispose of much of the
stolen articles.
The Pioneer Press today stated that
Annie Voter. accused of having taken
goods worth 500 from one of the big
Minneapolis stores. where she formerly
worked, was arraigned yesterday morn
ing on charge of larceny. Some sort
of settlement of the matter had been
arranged, and on notion of the county
attorney the case was dismissed.

Ignorant Norwegian Boy Robbed on
an Omaha Train.

FROM MOHudy DdHy.
A short change trick was worked on a
passenger of the Omaha train ON which
we returned from Minneapolis Tuesday
night. The facts of the case are these,
according to The Gilmore Eye:
Jens Johnson, young Norwegian,
who had worked all summer on farm
in North Dakota, was ON his way to
Omaha. He had all his money, big bills.
twenty-dollar gold pieces, silver and
copper in one pocket book, about $3.50
in all. Every time he wanted to use
even a nickel, he pulled out his bulky
pocket book. No doubt a number of
"sharps" had "got on that he would
be good subject for the demonstration
of their ''presto change" racket.
Jens Johnson bought ticket for
Omaha at Minneapolis and took seat
in the chair car. Just little while
before the train pulled out of the shed
at st. Paul two smooth strangers got
on and one took seat beside johnson
and the other sat across the aisle from
them. The one beside johnson, pulled
out roll of bills and asked him to
accommodate him with some big bills
