Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

Another bill of more than superior excellence will be presented at the Jacques next week as the successor of the one which closes phenomenal business this evening. For the past six days and nights there has been such demand for seats as the box office has not known in many months. The headline attraction if the De Rock trio of European acrobats which will make it's American debut in this city. These performers have made big sensation on the other side and they are sure to create furore here. The turn consists of new and novel feats in head balancing and eccentric aero battles and may be relied upon to fur nish amusement of the most satisfac- tory kind. Another important number on the bill will be the slap stick com edy melange of the three Keatons who are already too well known to local vaudeville lovers to need introduction. The Italian trio which made such an amazing impression on the last en- gagement will be heard in new ser les of operatic numbers. Miss Violet Black has made a sensational finish for her comedietta "A West Point Regulation" and 1t now ranks among the very best playlets in vaudeville. The bill is given splendid balance hy Godfrey and Henderson in fantastic sketch. Corture and Gillett. eccentric acrobats. and Miss Josephine Davis. singer of pleasing songs. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons, 10 and 70 cents, ladies 10 cents.

THE POLE BY ELECTRIC LIGHT
Experiments in Illumination in the
 Arctic Regions

Experiments in Illumination in the
 Arctic Regions
 The north pole has managed so far to keep out of the march of progress, but the plot is certainly thickening. Walter Wellman is after 1t, or says he will be, with an airship. Balloons have had shy at 1t. Somebody will be stalking out an automobile route.
 Anthony Fiala, in his story in Me Clure's, gives ones ideas of life amid Greenland's icy mountains an inciden- tai jolt as follows:
 "A well tramped trail led over the Ice of the bay from the house 10 the ship, and on the wire imbedded in lne snow that conveyed the electric cur rent Engineer Hartt and Electrician Vedoe had cut in three incandescent lights. The lights were mounted on bamboo poles stuck in the snow about thousand feet apart. Another cleo tric light burned at the gangway of the ship. On windy days when vision was obscured by the flying drift of snow, and at night, these lights served as guides between ship and shore.
 The ships officers had been busy in the meantime, and the after part of the ship was housed in with canvas and an extra partition and door was placed before the entrance to the fore castle. The store of ships provisions was cached on the ice not far from the ship. An electrically lighted workshop was arranged between decks, with Q stove to keep it warm. It was clean and comfortable, and work was start ed putting the sledges together and flashing the joints with rawhide.
 Tn the living room of the hut on shore a long table was erected, and over the table was hung an arc light, connected by wire with the ship, over 5000 feet away. The dynamo aboard the ship supplied the current for light ing the incandescent lights ab, (r I'd the ship as well as the arc light ashore 'When the America went under the Ice, however, this luxury of light failed and the winter sewing, of sleeping bags and furs, was done by the feeble H. lumination of four sickly oil lamps"

A GRAVE. DANGER.

To neglect backachs, which is very often the only outward sign that na- ture gives of serious trouble in the kidneys, is to give free reign to seri- ous disorders that may end In dropsy, gravel, diabetes or Bright's disease.
 The Kidneys (alters of the blood lie 3ust beneath the small of the back, on either side of the spine. As soon as there is any inflammation or conges- ton in the kidneys, you notice feel ing of uneaslness in the back, then that dull, throbbing pain, changing to sharp twinges when any sudden strain is brought upon the back. It Is hard to straighten after stooping, you feel lame in the morning. ;
 There will be no danger at any time, however. if you begin using Doan's Kidney Pills as soon as you notice backachs or any irregularity of the urine. This medicine is compound of pure roots and herbs that act direct ly on the kidneys, curing, healing and engineering them. It cures the cause and backache, headache. languor dis appear.

While all are young men well able to defend themselves, still they do not feel disposed to have some of the vic tins of their jokes start things before the show, for what they're going to say is really too good to be sTss.led by a premature announcement of thef, plans. They will all be on strong at both performances. Though the ticket sale is exceedingly heavy there is still a sufficient number left to accommo- date those who waited until this late hour before purchasing.

 As bright and crisp a comedy as could be wished for was the one pre- scented at Polls last evening by Digby Bell, supported by meritorious com pany of actors and actresses. There was scarcely dull moment during the whole of the three acts and it Just bubbled over with good humor Digby Bell himself in the leading role of MT Pipp kept continuous smile on the faces of his audience and many were the enthusiastic curtain calls which this clever comedian and his just as clever company received. After one of these calls NFr Bell gave one of his happy, original talks to his delighted hearers who took as much pleasure lh that little bit as they did in the play, and the pleasure in the play was most unarNmous. The comedy was a treat and one that will be pleasantly remem- bered by the small audience which greeted the company.

DID COAL COMPANIES COMBINE?
Attorney General Of State will
Start Investigation.

According to authentic report, At
terney General Young will investigate
certain conditions in the twin cities
with a view to determining whether or
not there is a coal Dealers combine
which controls Minnesota territory
and most Of the northwest. Although
Mr.. Young refuses to talk for publ
cation, state official who has inside
information on the subject says that
the department of the attorney general
is preparing for a most careful in.
quiry with a view to bringing all the
evidence that can be accumulated be-
fore the grand juries of Ramsey
and Hennepin counties. Indictments
and criminal proceedings under the
state anti-combine laws are an ulti-
mate possibility. ~ -s .....s ...
The action of the coal dealers in
raising the price of coal at stations
throughout the state on the same day
the reduction in coal rates was an
nounced by the railroads, SO that the
general public, instead of getting a
benefit from the cut in rates, has
actually to pay more for coal than be-
fore, has awakened a feeling of indig-
New Ulm review., 1906-12-05

nation in the public mind which the
attorney general believes calls for
some appropriate and immediate
action.
The increase in coal rates was kept
very quiet at the time it went into eff
feet, but it is said there are few sta
tions that have not been touched up
City officials of both Minneapolis and
st. Paul who have had the purchasing
OF coal supplies for the municipalities
and school boards, have felt the power
OF the coal combine, for whenever
competitive bids were called for, the
proposals were invariably the same,
and it was simply choice of which
companies to buy from at the price
demanded.
This same plan was tried on the
state board of control in it's annual
purchase of immense quantities of fuel
for state institutions, but the state
purchases have so far been made at a
lower price than the combine schedule,
probably as result of the board s
going to Chicago one year to buy it's
supply, when the local combine refused
to come down.

The St. Paul Daily News voices a
sentiment which is becoming more and
more general when it says:
eff you have regarded the Pullman
porter as the most conspicuous type
of ms atiable greed. look for a moment
at his environment. The Pullman
company itself has given striking
illustration of its willingness to take
all that comes it's way and give up as
little as it must. The public examiner
of Minnesota has caught it falsifying
the reports of gross earnings to the
state to beat the state treasury out OF
a patry three per cent tax-44 cents
on the $3.50 you pay to sleep between
St. Paul and Duluth, or about one
sixth of the tip you give the porter for
blacking your shoes. 1t is estimated
that the profits paid on each share of
Pullman stock in eight years amount
to 454 per cent In order to drain Off
an accumulated sulplus of S27, 900, 900
each holder of 100 shares is now pre-
sented with 36 additional shares. Yet
there has been in these eight years
no reduction in the price Of accOmmo-
da1ions for patrons Of the Pullman
cars. Nor has there been any notice
able increase in the wages of Pullman
employees; nor any improvement in
service The steady growth of public
patronage seems to suggest to the
Pullman directors nothing but an enor-
NOUS growth of profits and anincrease
of capital stock to blind the public to
the profits. There is fine chance here
for the interstate commerce commits
sion to get busy. The new rate law
places the Pullman service under the
commissions supervision. The char
ges of the Pullman company for its
services is absurdly high. The con-
tinued extortion is entirely without
JUST fication. Under modern cOndi-
tions of travel the Pullman service is
no longer mere luxury, but, for a
large proportion of those who travel
long distances, it is a necessity. 1t is
tim this great and greedy public SER
vice corporation be set to thinking
about some other things than a secret
division of the enormous protits.'

nhsrp IL san. upinion Ia 4sror Of at

Thsrn ii an rpinion ins1sror Of At
tacking some minor detail of tax re-
form legislation this winter. Members
of the Legislature understand we'll that
the whole subject is too large and COM
plicated to deal with without prelimi-
,aary collection of data and careful
inquiry into principles.
Sentiment Seems to be growing in
favor of putting this work in the hands
of permanent tax commission, to in
vestigate and report from session to
session, while reconstructing the ad-
ministration of the present tax laws in
the interests of equity, economy and
efficiency. But there are some who
think that one or two of the many new
laws needed should be passed at once.
If that opinion should prevail, there
is no detail of tax legislation that c an
of knowledge and experience as the
mortgage tax law.
Persons who understand the princi-
Piles of taxation know that the mort
gage tax question is perfectly simple.
All taxation of credit is doubtful pub
lie policy, because it invariably falls
on the borrower of money. Besides
this mortgage tax is double tax on
the borrower when it is paid. In point
OF fact it is almost always evaded by
sending money out of the state to lend
and calling money into the state to
borrow. If it were repealed entirely,
the state would lose little revenue and
borrowers would get an easier market
for money.
Few states are willing to repeal the
futile law for taxation of mortgages as
property without putting another tax
in it's place. New York tried an annu-
al tax Of one-half of one per cent. The
immediate effect was the addition of
One-half Of one per cent to the rate of
interest on mortgages and a reduction
of one-half OF one per cent in the in
terest paid on savings deposits.
The annual tax was abandoned and
a recording tax of the same amount,
paid only once on each mortgage, sub
stituted. This actually yielded more
revenue than the annual tax. If our
legislature is content to profit by this
experience, it is ready for mortgage
tax legislation; if not, it would better
the subject. Minneapolis Tribune.
