Strengthened out after the morning crush, the
trains brought in even larger crowds And once
more state of chaos prevailed in the station.
The employees OF the railroad company tried TO
systematic the handling OF the rush" and at
intervals succeeded in relieving the compact masses
in the gateways.
The through Boston and New Haven trains
brought in hundreds OF persons who had spent
the holidays out Of town. On the outgoing trains
for Boston there decrease in the number
of passengers.
DoHn in the Grand Central subway station at
y O'Clock long lines were formed before both the
uptown and downtown ticket booths. The station
platforms filled with bags. satchels and suit
cases.
Most Of the railroads were taxed as much as
the New York Central. The Pennsylvania trains

brought in full carloads The Pennsylvania Station
in Jersey City between the hours OF and y
O'Clock resembled the jam the Grand Central.

KILLED THE WORKS BILL.
Inheritance Tax Measure Falls BY tn e
Wavside

st. Paul. March 2G-The inheritance
tax bill introduced by Senator S. ID.
Works of Mankato, which provides that
| the onehalf of the tax shall 90 to the
| county in which the deceased lived at
the time of his death instead of all
to the state as the present law pro-
vides, was killed in the senate yester-
day. 1t came up on general orders
in committee of the whole with Sena-
tor H. T. Hanson of Window in the
chair. Senator O. G.. Dale of Madison
led the attack on the bill and quoted
the figures from the state auditors an
nual report and from the federal census
to show that the counties in the west
ern part of the state are now paying
higher percentage of the state taxes
per capita than are the eastern coun-
ties.
when there is such a great amount
| of wealth hidden from taxation in the
eastern counties | do not believe that
they are entitled to have this source of
state revenue diverted to their county
treasures" he said
Senator F. H. Peterson of Moorhead
also opposed the bill on the ground that
the state needs the revenue which it
derives from this source. Last year the
state received Sl59,454 from the inherit
ance tax, he said, and to cut this in
two would make a very material re-
ductiOn in the revenues of the state.
"We can i'll afford to spare this one
source of revenue in view of the de-
mands that are being made for great
sums of money for the various state in
situations. He suggested that a bill is
pending providing for the creation of a
state tax commission and thought the
inheritance tax law should be left as it
is until such time as the revenues of
the state from corporate taxes and other
sources are large enough to obviate the
need of levying a tax levy for state
purposes. Senator Frank Clague of
Lamberton also strongly opposed the
bill and when the motion to recommend
it for indefinite postponement was put
it carried by substantial majority.

TRIM YOUR TREES
Season Is Now On; Advice to Man.
kato Treeoloeists.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The proper season for trimming both
fruit and ornamental trees is now at
hand and will last until early in May
when the buds begin to open and the
leaves appear. During the past two
years general craze for trimming
street and yard trees seems to have pos
sessed the people of Mankato, and trees
that have for years been allowed to
sweep the heads of those passing on the
walks. have suddenly been made into
bare poles with tuft of foliage at the
top; and yards that were so shady as
to spoil the sod and make the resi-
dence gloomy have in a day been made
as bare and bleak as newly planted
homestead While it is healthier and
far more pleasant to live in too little
rather than too much shade there is a
happy medium i'm this as i'm other
things, and if a moderate amount of
trimming was practiced each year at the
proper season it would tend to produce bet
ter shaped and health er trees anda bet
ter balance of shade and sunshine on the
lawn and dwelling. A large share of
the trimming done in the city has
been when the trees are in full leaf,
which is most serious check upon
the vitality of any tree especially If
done in such a wholesale way as to de-
prive the tree of more than third of
it's "lungs" in the midst of the period
of it's most active life. When there APP
pears to be too much shade for COM
fort it is frequently best to cut out
tree or two entirely rather than to
sacrifice the beauty and SYMMETRY of
choice specimens. For instance, we
know of a yard in the best part of the
city where there are two specimens of
the Norway Maple, perhaps the finest in
the whole state of Minnesota, trees
that are above any money valuation,
and vet their beauty is so obscured
by very ordinary street trees, stand
ing on the corner that they are but
little noticed from the street, and are
indeed in danger of losing much OF
their beauty by overcoming. 1t is
like hiding fine beaver coat behind
a goat skin in show window. The
true method is to select such trees as
are the best placed and choicest and
treat the others with reference to
them. -
While the limbs that are to be re-
moved should not be cut off even
with the bark of the main body, it is
an almost equal bunder to leave stubs
of several inches length that cannot by
some possible means be covered in the
process of healing. There is usually
an enlargement or shoulder" at the
place of each limb that marks the proper
place to use the saw. This shoulder
should be left as by the time 1t has
thrown a covering over the wound the
trunk will have enlarged enough to-
make it even with this covering and the
whole be left as smooth and even as if
there had been no limb removed. As a
resume of the whole matter we might
say: Do moderate amount of judi
cious carefully planned trimming each
year, and "Do it now

IMPROVED The ROAD.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Ben Williams and j. w. Wigley were
in the country yesterday. They drove
over the welsh lane" In the morning
the highway was in frightful condl-
ton and travel was almost impossible.
But the homeward trip was made quite
pleasant because the road had seen the
services of a split road drag. The work
was done by w. j. Jones and he had
smoothed the surface of the road so
that it resembled a paved street. Not
rut was encountered the entire dis
lance This is another evidence that the
split-rOad drag is the device to use to
put the highways in first-class condi-
ton. They should be operated on every
road in the county. Another thing, the
roads should be drained and ditched, al
lowing the water to run off freely dur
ing every rain storm

FRED DRIsCOLL DEAD.
Well Known Newspaper Publishe r
Passes Away In Chicago.
From Mondays Daily.

Frederick Driscoll, formerly part own
er of The ST. Paul Pioneer Press and
for thirty-six years its business manager,
| died Saturday afternoon in Chicago,
where he has held the position OF com
missioner of labor for the American
| Newspaper Publishers association.
With the late Joseph A. Wheelock,
Mr. Driscoll was associated for more
than quarter of a century in control
of The Pioneer Press, and in his field
of newspaper activity he was no less
| widely known throughout the country
than his distinguished companion and CO.
| worker. Together they guided their
! newspaper through the varying fortunes
of its early history and by their COM
| bined effort The Pioneer Press took a
| prominent place among the publications
of the west
Frederick Driscol was born in Boston
on July 81, 1884, and after receiving an
academic education in the schools of that
| city he went to work in a mercantile es-
| Establishment. He was married in 1858 to
Mary l.. Brown, and in that same year
he and his young wife came west to seek
their fortune in the newer country. They
settled first at Belle Plaine, in Scott
county, where Mr.. Driscoll became secre-
tarv of the Belle PLANE Land company.
The following year Mr.. Driscoll was
elected to the state legislature from
Scott county, and in 1861 he started The
Scott County Journal. Mr.. Driscoll was
elected secretary of the state senate in
| 1862 and in November of that same
year he disposed of his business inter
| ests at Belle Plaine and took up his resi-
| dence in st. Paul.
He started The st. Paul Daily Union,
but after a few months he iointed his
| fortunes with those of Joseph A.
| Wheeock, who was then owner of The
st. Paul Press. From that time Mr..
Driscoll and Mr.. Wheeock were associ-
ated in the management of The Press
and it's successor, The Pioneer Press,
until Dec l, 1899, when Mr.. Driscoll
went to Chicago to take the position
which he held at the time of his
death.
Mr. Drscoll was state printer OF Min
nesota in 1868 and for some years there
after. He was made chairman of the re-
publican state central committee in 1867
and served for three years.
Mr.. Driscoll's first wife died in 1880.
He was married on Nov. 2, 1882, to Mrs.
Lucy Y. Stiles, who survives him. There
are two sons by the first marriage, Ar
thur B. and Walter j. Driscoll.
