COULDN' 7 EXPLAIN
TALK WITH DEAD
Italian Lad Gets Tangled
in His Lying and Must
Serve a Term in Prison
REFUSED PROBATION

Inability TO explain by what means
father two years after the latter's
death will cause Demetrio Seragoze, a
young Italian lad, to serve a term in
the penitentiary, which, had he not al
lowed his Imagination to get the bet
ter of him might have been set aside
in favor of a writ Of probation from
the Superior Court
Shortly before the fire Seragoze was
arrested on a charge of burglary and
was convicted of having stolen money
from the collection boxes of the Church
Of the Nativity. He admitted the
crime but claimed that he was in
fluenced by an older man, who had
been his accomplice and urged>him on
TO the deed. but who was not arrested
The boy begged for mercy, and Judge
Lawlor took the case under considera-
ton and promised to investigate his
past record. The lad gave his age as
19 years and stated that he was the
nephew Of A prominent Italian mer-
chant and had scores Of friends in that
country who would testify to his good
character. He furnished the court with
a list Of references, but when he dis
covered that the investigation was
actually TO be made he revised this
list, admitting that in several instances
he had given wrong names and ad-
dresses.
Yesterday the answers to these
queries as to character were received,
the boys former parish priest and sew
eral other acquaintance testifying
that he had borne a good reputation at
Ms home and recommending that
leniency be shown him. The only dis
crepancy noted in the letters was the
statement of the priest that the boy
was % years old instead of 1e.
Judge Lawlor had intended to allow
the boy to so to Chile, where he claims
TO have friends, but tefore making the
order Of probation determined to in
quire again regarding his age.
How is il that you say you are but
1s years old. when your priest says
that you are 232" asked the court.
4 can explain that" answered Sera-
goze. I looked it up in the church
records at home, and they say that
was born in 1883, but when I asked my
father about it he said that the records
were wrong and that I was born in
1887. took his word for it, of course.
and that makes me 1e. I didn't intend
70 lie 10 you about II"
When was il that you looked those
church records up?" asked Judge Law
lor.
oh. that was about two years after
my father died" answered the young
defendant
Two years after you father died
and then you asked him about them
and he told you they were wrong?"
interpOsed Assistant District Attorney
O'Gara. Il think, your Honor, there is
something a little strange about this
case"
Judge Lswlor thought so. too, re-
voked his decision to place the boy on
probation and ordered him to appear
for sentence next Saturday.

"There is nothing new that know of
in regard to the tariff question" says
Senator Knute Nelson. "I stand where
I have stood for the last year or two
in favor of the revision schedules at
the earliest possible day. There is
nothing the senate can do, however, un-
til some action is taken by the house
of representatives, for it must be re-
membered that bills affecting the reve-
nues must originate in the house.
"There is no doubt of the strong SEN
timent among our people favorable to
early revision of the tariff, and il is

ministration and the house will come
to realize that steps must be taken in
that direction" ~>@s. ~.-s%.. .. ~ .~y.@

ReappOrti0nment Problem.

The reapportionment of the leglsla-
tive districts is destined to become an
important question for the next legis
lature, and from present appearances
the appointment of the committee on
reapportionment is to be an important
factor in the speakership contest. At
present Southern Minnesota has more
than it's share Of legislators and North
ern Minnesota less, while the central
part of the state has a reasonably fair
shars. Therefore some of the candi-
dates who come from the central part
the state have figured out that they
have an advantage in the contest, for
southern members will not consent to
having a northern man appoint the
committee, nor will northern members
feel like intrusting the committee to a
southern man.
The population is more unequal on
senators than on representatives. The
following table shows the number Of
senators and the population to each
congressional district and the number
Mower County transcript., 1906-12-12
Population

Picking out individual districts, the
difference is of course more marked.
The senator from the Seventh district,
Dodge, represents only 12,757 people,
while the senator from the Sixty-tirst
district, Red Lake, Norman, Clear
water and Beltrami counties, represents
1852 people, according to the 1905 cen
sus. The senator from Waseca, the
Tenth district, represents less than
$4,000 people, while the senator from
Otter Tail, the Fifty-ninth district rep
resents 1929 people.
The Legislators from the southern
districts, especially the First and Third,
are of course anxious to maintain their
present representation. Some from
this section of the state would never
be missed if they we're left out.

President R00seyeit'S Views of
the Tariff as a Fortune
Builder.

1t has been suggested to the Presi-
dent that the corporations and the co.
lossal fortunes have been created be-
hind the walls of high protective tar
iff. While he is in favor of the revis-
ion of the tariff, the President does not
believe that all or indeed most accumu-
lations OF wealth can be attributed to
protection. No one will contend that
the fortunes of the Vanderbilts, the
Astors, the Rockefellers, Hartman.
Hill. Gould, the great New York bank
or, J. Pierpont Morgan, and dozen
others of the same kind, were made by
reason of the tariff, though Morgan, to
some extent, is benefited through
certain investments in protected
industries. Tie fortunes of Carne-
gle, Frick, and the Havemeyers were
undoubtedly due to protection, though
men of their calibre aid money max
ing instincts would no doubt have be-
come wealthy, tariff or no tariff. But
the majority of the closely allied for
tunes which the President had in mind
when he delivered his famous speech
have been inheritances of former &C.
cumulations, multiplied by various de-
vices and by the formation of corpora
tions of such magnitude as to be al
most beyond comprehension of the av-
erage man. President Roosevelt would
so regulate such corporations as to
make it impossible for Schwab and
hundred other men to create for them
selves almost unlimited wealth by over
capitalization. He knows that nothing
but tax on inheritances and a gradu-
ated income tax can reach these men
now, but he believes that it is within
the power of the government to regu-
late the organization of similar corpor-
ations in the future. From "President
Roosevelt and Corporate Wealth." by

lean Monthly Review of Reviews for

STOMACH'S IMPORTANCE.
How to Strengthen It So That It
Will Act as It Should.

The stomach is the principal crgan
concerned in the digestion of food. If
it is weak, inactive or out of order and
unable to properly digest the food, the
body will soon be in state of semi
starvation.
Then, too, when the stomach is weak,
the food is not properly digested and
lies in it for hours, decomposing, fer
menting and forming poisonous gases
and ptomaines that are absorbed into
the blood, poisoning the system and I'M
poverishing the blood.
TO enjoy good health, it is absolutely
necessary that the stomach and diges-
tive organs should be strong, and no
other remedy equals Mi-o-na in
strengthening and giving tone to the
whole digestive system.
Relief from the use of Mi o-na is per
manent and lasting. Use Mi o-na for
a few days, and the digestion will be
good, the appetite keen, and there will
be no nausea or distress after eating, no
sleeplessness, no nervousness, and the
headaches, backaches and disturbed
heart action that are the direct result
of a weakened stomach will soon be
overcome
Mi-o-na is sold under an absolute
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded unless the remedy does all that
is claimed for it. Ask K. O. Void to
show you the guarantee which be gives
