Gratis, Fl; social-democrats, s.
,. The democrats gain two members in
the senate, and in the assembly have
ten more members than they had two
years ago, while the social democrats
gain one from Milwaukee. The demo-
cratic senators gained are, Charles l..
seventh district, and John A. Hazel
wood in the twenty-third. 49,.
The great fight Of tho session will
come over the regulation Of public
utility corporations, such as street rail
ways, telephone, telegraph, gas and
electric Ii ghting plants. A bill will
be. presented to place these under the
rate commission. This measure, which
will be hotly fought, will provide for
ascertaining the actual value of all
this class Of properties 80 that the
commission may be able to formulate
a fair and reasonable compensation for
the services performed.
On this question of regulation the re-
publieans and democrats will clash
early: It is the intention Of the dem
ocrats to steal the republican thunder
and capture public favor by voting
that each municipality regulate it's own
industries. =:
Another question which will take up
much time will be the regulation Of
insurance companies, tho 1t will be sub
ordinated in a way to the more import

FEDERAL INSPECTION
SLOGAN OF McCUMBER
Rejecting Demand Of His Constituents,
North Dakotan Will Fight in Con-
gress for Government Tests for Grain.

BY w. w. Jermane. Colorado Building,
Washington, .. c.
Washington, Nov. Ex-senator Nc
Cumber OF North Dakota has arrived
IN Washington for the coming session
of congress-. His coming this early is
that he may perfect plans for renew
ing his attempt to secure legislation
provid ding for federal inspection Of
wheat and other grain. McCumber
made notable speech during the last
session, which attracted wide attention.
He secured as result Of that speech
small appropriation for govern
ment investigation to determine wheth:
er. scientific and uniform system Of
grain grading can, be devised. He has
been given to understand that the in
vestigation has shown that such a sys-
tenn is possible Of perfection, and he
will now labor to have it adopted by
congress.
North Dakota farmers for years have
been dissatisfied with the inspection
system in operation under the Mime
sofa and Wisconsin laws. They have
no large market for their wheat ex-
cepting thru those states, and Nc
Cumber, in demanding federal inspec-
tion, Is simply rejecting the views Of
his constituents.
Certain statements made in his speech
last session attacking the Minnesota
and Wisconsin systems Of inspection
were denounced by officials in those
show the statements unreliable. The
question will be fought to finish first
in the senate, it being agreed that Nc
Cumber shall have an opportunity to
try it out there before it gets before
the house OF representatives.

If you do not. suppose you give us an opportunity of making you acquainted with these very desirable combinations. It is not necessary. here, to sacrifice all ap- pearances to comfort. as we fit you with shoes that will please the eye and satisfy the feet. Very often the salesman, if he understands his business, can make suggestions as to the style and fit of shoe for you. that, if acted upon, and not thought presumptious, would prove very satisfactory to your future comfort.

 The quandary of the Board of Health relative to the diseased cattle reported by Milk Inspector Peterson. was some- what relieved tonight by the action Of the General Council. as will be seen by the action of that body taken in special session.
 The General Council met at this evening. the following being present: Chairman Lyons. Aldermen Carrell. Ta- con, Faith, Ward and Norville; Coun- cilmen Hale, Grotz. Craft, Cashin and Inge. The chair announced the meet ing to be for the purpose of acting on . meat inspection ordinance formulated by the City Board of Health. The members of that body were present and invited to seats inside the railing. Dr. Charles Mohr. President of the Board of Health. read the ordinance which was of several typewriter pages. It's tenor was along the lines of a similar ordinance in vogue and operation in Montgomery and Birming- ham. A few minor changes had been made in the original draft. Several discussions arose over certain sections. Councilman Craft asked what provis- sons would be made for inspection Of
