Madison, March 19-The senate
committee on state affairs reported
the barber law bills yesterday, but
none received favorable recommends
ton. The senate bills to repeal the
law entirely, and some of them to
greatly increase the powers of the
board, all were reported for indefinite
postponement. This action is indica-
tive of the fact that little, If any,

legislature with the barber law. A
joint memorial from the legislature
of Maine was received. in favor OF
federal building OF good roads. Sena-

Just Plain Tom Marshall.

Lidgerwood Broadaxe: The Glendale
Record says that the insurgent papers
who have been boosting Tom Marshall
for United States senator have en-
tirely failed to line him up with their
political faction and that he is still
perched on the fence. There may
have been, although we have not
noticed them, some insurgent news
papers booming Marshall for U. S.
senator, but a good many more we
have noticed commencing him for his
work as congressman. Tom Marshall
has made good. If he wants the SEN
atorship-he will need to go out and
get after it; but he will need less the
support Of the insurgent or gang and
more Of the votes Of the people at the
primary polls. It isn't like it used to
be-the convention is gone-and If
Tom Marshall risks his present posi-
tion Of congressman in the hope Of
getting the senatorship, his best plat
form win neither be gang nor insur-
gent just plain Tom Marshall.

500 Increases Stock.

At a meeting Of the 500 line directors
in Minneapolis recently it was decided
to increase the capital stock Of the
company to $42, ,O00, 600, one-third Of
which will be offered as preferred
stock and two-thirds as common stock.
The original stock provided at the or
ganization of the company was $21, ,000,- :
600. At that time it had 800 miles of
railway. Today it has about: 1890
miles in operation and will soon consid-
erably exceed that mileage. This in
crease Of stock is to enable the COM
pany to meet the demands upon it for
additional facilities and to keep pace
in this respect with the growth Of its
railway and business in the future. The
stocks issued must be paid for at par
value. Il is estimated that not to ex-
ceed $4, 600, 900 Of the increased stock
will be issued in the near future.

T he Fargo Games.

Fargo Forum: The Fargo Athletics
and the Oakes aggregation of ball
tossers divided honors in the pair of
games played Saturday and Sunday.
The visitors captured Sundays game
Z to 0 and the Athletics won out Sun
day 5 to s.
The Sunday game was the best seen
on the local grounds this year. It was
replete with sensational outfeld work,
some errors in the infield and some
dumb base running, coupled with sharp
swatting. It contained all the ele-
ments which excite the fans, even to a
rank home plate decision, which robbed
Cakes Of a score, though it would not
have changed the result.
The Athletics seemed determined to
show the large crowd that they could
deliver the goods. The lineup was
changed some, with Wilson, the F. C.
third sacker, on first and Thorpe in
center. Wilson handled himself well
at first, making one error through his
too great anxiety to get back of the
bag. He is not very heavy with the
stick. Thorpe in center, covered him
self with glory by pulling down long
and difficult chase when two men were
out. Stowall also made difficult catch
in the last inning that saved the day.
Jezerek of the Oakes team copped one
in center that won applause.
Finnegan was in good form and held
the visitors safely at most stages Of
the game. Armstrong pitched good
ball for the visitors, but the Athletics
were lucky in getting to him when hits
were needed.
Mucklestone and Tierney starred with
the willow for Fargo, the latter driving
in two runs. Finnegan placed bunt
between first and second that went for
q safe hit and scored a man from third.
Corbett did a piece Of daring base
running and got Fargo's first score,
Tierney had his trouble on the paths.
making two bad plays, one between
first and second and another in getting
nailed at home. He worked under
difficulties. his right hand being in q
sling. Paddy Grant umpired q splen-
did game except on q home plate deci-
sion on Cakes in the seventh, when he
called the runner out. The man was
clearly safe and had scored. Grants
umpiring has been good this season,
however, In fact, it is superior to what
the fans used to get in the league.

Dependent Over III Health He Deliberately
Throws Himself Under Wheels on N. W.
Track This Side Of Columbia. l

Ernest A.. Poore, a st. Paul stenog-
rapher and the son-in-law Of j. Howard
Taylor of Columbia township, one Of
Brown county's most prominent
farmers, met terrible death at
Columbia early Saturday morning by
throwing himself under the wheels of
the first car Of the North Western
passenger train, south bound. His
body was cut into fifteen pieces his
head was nearly severed from his body
both arms and legs were cut off.
Poore threw himself under the train
at some little distance north Of the
depot, when the train was going at q
high rate Of speed. Both the station
agent and the fireman Of the train saw
the man make his fatal leap. Both
concur in the statement that he threw
his hat from his head and deliberately
hurled himself under the train.
Poore was % years Of age. He
leaves wife and two children. His
widow was formerly Miss Madge
Taylor, for number Of years stenog-
rapher for E. T. Cassel, while the
latter was general agent for the Deering
Harvester Company in this city. She
is exceedingly we'll known here where
she has a host of friends.
The unfortunate man has been in i'll
health for several years. Several
weeks ago his employers gave him a
vacation, urging him to 60 to his father
in-law's farm to take a vacation and
recuperate. During his stay in Colun-
bia he has brooded much over his ply
sical condition, talking Of it all the
time. He has been closely watched by
the members Of his family, for they
feared that he might do himself bodily
! harm while in q Respondent mood.
Yesterday he slipped away from his
guardians and ended his life in the ter
rible manner described above.
The funeral was held at Columbis
Z Sunday morning and interment made il

instead Of Armstrong, as had been

of them getting away because the left
fielder had trouble in maintaining his
footing. Pete was in great form and
did fine work. Had he pitched Sunday
it would have been a battle royal be-

Games i'm Siqht.

Britton comes to Oakes for two
games Saturday and Sunday, the 9th
and 2Sth and perhaps one Monday the
29th.
Breckenridge plays here Tuesday and
Wednesday, the 30th and 31st.
Britton has had one of the strongest
teams in the field all summer and are
stronger now than ever and the games
here will be good ones.
Breckenridge has braced up mater
tally since Oakes played them on their
home grounds and expect to turn the
tables.
Oakes has two games with Staples,
Srd and 4th of August. The first game
will be played at Staples. People all
along the line are anxious to have the
second game played at Battle Lake,
where there is an enclosed ground, and
the managers are endeavoring to make
arrangements to this end. If they sue
ceed this will be the biggest base ball
event pulled off in the northwest this
season. Special train service will en-
able people living both ways from
the lake to spend most of the day
there, see the game and reach home
Sunday night. Staples is stronger
than horseradish and have been beaten
but once this season but they have not
met the Oakes Athletics. There are
good prospects of getting Leeds here
for three games about August 1O-12.

The Finest Exhibition.

Kensal Journal: The Oakes ball
team arrived here Tuesday evening
from Darlington and yesterday after
noon crossed bats with our local team:
at the race track diamond. The game
was fast from the beginning and was
the finest exhibition of ball playing
seen here this season. The score stood
one to one at the end of the eighth In
ming and the article of ball put up by.
both sides during those innings was
immense. In the ninth inning the
visitors got their batting clothes in
order and made few hits, which COM
bined with a bunch of errors by the
locals, gave them six scores, and again
retiring the locals in their half, making
the score to in favor of Cakes. In
the Oakes lineup there are several exc
league players and the team is out on
a tour for, honors and so far have
been able to defend them, having de-
feated jamestown two games and
Darlington one game, previous to their
coming here. They are fast bunch
and being in practice every day, they
ought to play good ball, but saying
the least, our boys had them scared, al
they made the first score Of the game
in the third and the visitors failed to
score before the sixth, when only
one was made and then not being able
to score again until the ninth, when
our boys went to the bad and allowed
the six runs. It was admitted that
our team gave them the hardest tussle
during those eight innings, that they
have had on this tour. Score by
