st. Paul, April 9-The senate today
passed the CIague registry tax on
mortgages bill. There were SO af-
frmative votes, and Il against it. The
bill was a special order for an hour,
and was ably explained and defended
by its author, Frank Clague of Lam
berton. In view OF the fact that all
tax measures must originate in the
lower house, the house bill which had
already been passed, was the one
under consideration, but was amended
on motion of Senator Clague so as to
boooma a at,piicafa OF his senate file
There were several efforts to modify
the bill, one beins to cut down the
tax from 80 cents per 500 to % cents,
but this and all other amendments
opposed by the senator from Redwood
county were defeated. 1t is said the
bill viii raise tax in Hennepin
county Of $40, 600 a year, and in
Ramsey county 500, coo year.
This afternoon the Iowa distance
tariff bill of Senator II. E. eastman
Of Owatonna, was a special order in
the upper house. One of the first
things done was to pass an amend
ment by the author to strike from the
bill the ''ton per mile" requirement,
leaving the bill to simply embody the
distance tariff idea. Senator Cash
man then advocated the bill at
length, being followed by Senators
Works, Witherstine, and Sageng.
Senator Frank Clague opposed the
bill. He warned the senate against
too much railroad legislation on
points already in the courts, and also
said the "ton per mile" theory still
remained in certain provisions of the
bill. Senator'S Durment and Dunn Of
st. Paul also opposed the bill.
The house which few weeks ago
gave a body blow to the general
proposition of local option, today
turned down a report of the tenn
perance committee for indefinite
postponement of a bill by Elmer
Adams Of Fergus Falls for local option
in small cities, and advanced the bill
to general orders. The bill originally
applied to all cities, but an amend
ment by the committee was retained
making it applicable only to cities less
than 10, 600 inhabitants.
The house also passed the G. NJ.
Bendixen bill requiring all kinds Of
corporations to pay fees for the filing
of articles. At present purely manu-
featuring corporations pay nominal
fee, and others a fee based on capt.
talization. The Bendixen bill places
them all on the same level.
The house committee on express
and telegraph, reported the Sam
Peterson bill regulating telegraph tolls
for indefinite postponement, but the
author succeeded in getting the
committee turned down and the bill
advanced to general orders. There
were but votes in opposition to the
bills advancement.

 ican: News received today from reliable gentleman, who has just arrived from Nacozari, is to the effect that this morning a party of Phelps Dodge engineers left Naco- zari for the purpose of permanent ly locating their railroad line south down the Nacozari canyon from its present terminus. This com- pany has made preliminary sur vey of their proposed route south beyond Moctezuma. Whether this action indicates any decision of ' the conflicting interests between the Phelps Dodge people and the Southern Pacific effected by the right-of-way down the canyon out of Nacozari can only be surmissed. | It has been claimed that owing to the fact that the Southern Pacific had obtained the concession origi- nally held by the Nacozari line that Phelps Dodge would not be per mitted to extend their line south ] along a parallel line with the one surveyed by the Southern Pacific. There is no construction work be- ing done south of Nacozari at this ! time, notwithstanding reports that ! the Southern Pacific had begun ! their grade work. However, the ! gentleman interviewed today stat ed that the permanent location of the Southern Pacific line had been completed down the canyon and | that all necessary equipment and implements are now on the ground and a camp has been established between Nacozari and what is known as Old Nacozari. Just why the Southern Pacific has not start ed the grade work is not known.

Women Who Wear Well.

Itis astonishing how great g change G
fsw years Of married life often make In
Aha appearance and disposition OF many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
natron Is only dim shadow, faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
