on the proposition submitted to the

ultimatum of the company, and was
agreed to by the employees at the

The Size Of the Sea Horse.

The popular mistaken idea as to the
size of the sea horse is a constant
source of amusement to the guards at
the aquarium. According to them,
visitors, after looking at the big sea
COW and peering into the tank where
the turtles lead placid life, next be-
gin to hunt around among the inhabit-
ants of the big floor tanks to find the
sea horse. They reread all the placards
and carefully reinspect all the occu-
pants of the big tanks; then, failing to
discover any immense fish which close
~ resembles a horse, they turn to
guard as last resort When they are
directed to one Of the smaller tanks
upstairs and when they learn that this
supposed monster of the deep never
attains a size of more than ten inches
they are amazed enough The speci-
mems of the sea horse at the aquarium

PRINCETON MAN STILL A FACTOR
Minneapolis Journal Political Writer
Predicts Another BuShWack-
Ing Campaign.

Chas. B. Cheney, writing on politi-
cal matters in the Minneapolis Jour
nal, has this to offer:
"Some of the preliminary talk about
the next republican nominee for
governor forebodes the same old
bushwhacking campaign for another
year.
''Inspired direct from Princeton,
concerted effort is being made to stir
up sympathy for r. G. Dunn and get
him nominated again next year, for
another glorious defeat. Most of the
former Dunn men have seen the error
of their ways, but there are few that
are recalcitrant. They supported
johnson last year just to show the
republican party that it could not elect
anybody but Dunn, and they are pass
ing out the word again that it will be
Dunn next year or another term of
democracy. If they are good prophets,
the selection of the next governor rests
with the democratic convention, but
in the past these people have not been
infallible.
''The same sort of story comes from
some Of the radicals who supported
Jacobson last year, and who, because
he was beaten in the convention, refused
to join him in working and voting for
Cole. They are saying that it will be
Jake next time, or else democrat.
The Madison man is not responsible
for this talk, and it is doubtful if he
could be dragged into another contest;
but such, expressions show plainly
what has become of republican party
spirit in Minnesota. The fact is,
there isn't any, and if personal ambi-
lions and disappointments rule next
year, as they have for three years
past, the democrats will be able to
elect almost anybody governor, and
perhaps carry the whole state ticket
through. y

In five weeks the tenor signed the
pledge, and in six the contralto stopped
bleaching her hair and came to choir
practice with her head tied up in a veil
to hide the inevitable discrepancies as
to color

care of her mother

The tenor having made the same
statement, the contralto carried the
news to the soprano.
'sThey are both in love with YOU, nv
dear" she whispered one Sunday morn
ing when the green curtain had been
drawn and the congregation had set
tied down comfortably to hear the ser
mon
'sPd rather not talk about such things
in church If you don't mind" the so
prano said gently, and the contralto
agreed hastily and gave her earnest at
tention to the preacher.
'But tell me one thing the tenor
said to the contralto conhdentially at
choir practice, .'how are we going to
ask her? Her mother walks home with
her after all the services, and she
hasn't asked us to call, and she won't

"She says it is" the tenor stated,
"but | think it is divine"
Things came to something of a eli

taken sick.
Now is your chance" said the con-
tralto, all in f1utter, as she leaned to-
ward the tenor.
But the bass was already begging the
privilege.
I had hoped you might let me- the
tenor said as he stumbled over two
chairs to get to her.
"Why not both of you?' said the
soprano. Its on your way home, and

There had been an immense amount
of irreverence in the choir before the
new soprano came. The tenor and
the contralto and the bass and the old
soprano had f1irted from the opening
anthem to the benediction, and as they
were hidden from the congregation by
green baize curtain there had been
no scandal, although certain members
of the session had complained of weird
sounds that had seemed to echo from
the organ loft and die in the steepIe.
With the advent of the new soprano,
however, came a different state of af-
fairs. Both the tenor and the bass
fell in love with her at sight, and the
contralto, being forty and fat and fair,
submitted comfortably to the new
singers conquest and smiled on her in
way unprecedented in choir history,
posed to rage rampant.
Line new soprano was not lrreVerent,
and hence it came about that romance
was succeeded by religion, and the
tenor and the bass paid strict atten-
ton to the responses and to the SER
mon and bent their heads during pray
ers, although so earnest were the So
prano's meditations that the bass was
constrained now and then to glance at
her and after intercepting the tenor's
ardent observation would again seem
wrapped in his deyotions.
At the time of the opening prayer
the sun came through the rose win
dow. A white dove spread his wings
against the stained glass background
and as the soprano stood up for her
solo he seemed to hover over her head
and her shining hair made a golden
halo

bass told the tenor as they went home
together one Sunday in May.
'She is perfect" the tenor declared
fervently. "We are a lot of sinners,

The Democrats have been having
unique senatorial contest down in old
Mississippi. CongressmanJohn Sharp
Williams, a conservative of the old
school, was a candidate against Gov.
Vardaman, a pronounced opponent of
negro suffrage, and in the primary
contest it was freely predicted that
Williams would be overwhelmingly
victorious. Now that the election has
been held it develops that an official
count may be required to determine
the result.
DR.. William Griffis, the tutor of
Baron Komura, the eminent Japanese
diplomat, and one of the first white
men to establish the American school
system in the Flowery Kingdom, lee

In this lecture he advanced the rather
unusual theory that the Japanese are
not Mongolians, but come from race
OF persons using the Aryan tongue.
''The sooner the diplomats of foreign
countries discover this fact, the
BETTER he says. He also says that
the japanese woman, as wife, mother
and daughter, has no superior, but
that the Japanese family is made up
of father and son, the woman oc-
cupying a relatively unimportant
position.

GOVERNORS FIRM COUNSEL
Chief Executive Tells Miners and
Strikers that Order Must
be Preserved.
Peaceful semblages Permissible
but Marching Demonstrators
will not be Tolerated.
Labor Unions Warned Against
Holding Meetings Tending
to Incite Violence.

In view of the strike conditions pre-
vailing in the iron ore mines in the
northern part of the state, Governor
onnson on Friday issued an official
proclamation. In this proclamation
| he directs:
First That the rights of all persons,
| irrespective of their affiliations with
labor unions or otherwise, to peace
ably meet in their respective halls for
the purpose of consultation and law
full discussion of pending conditions
shall not be interfered with, and all
public officers are charged with the
duty of seeing that such lawful and
peaceful meetings are not interfered
with or disturbed.
Second-It being conceded that the
marching of large bodies of men from
place to place through the various
towns or to the mines situated in said
district tends to disturb the public
peace, all such marchings and demon
strations are hereby prohibited, but
lawabiding and peaceful persons, in
dividually or in ordinary groups,
shall be permitted without molestation
to use the ordinary, usual and COM
mon highways throughout the district.
Third Every individual is hereby
prohibited from trespassing upon pri
waite, and particularly private mining
property, and is further prohibited
from attempting to prevent, by intimi
dation or threats Of violence, any per-
son desiring to work in any such mine
from doing SO.
Every person in any way involved
in the conditions now prevailing in
the mining districts of this state,
whether as a private citizen, peace
officer, or member of labor union,
is cautioned to observe the terms
herein set forth. Those in charge of
labor unions are warned that viola
tion Of these directions will result in
the use of the military forces of this
state to preserve the public peace, and
in their meetings are cautioned against
the use Of inhammatory language cal
culated to incite violence, and public
officers are cautioned that in the per-
Torrance of their duties they should
use their best Judgment and refrain
from unnecessary acts which would
tend to irritate or excite any class
whose rights such public officers are
bound to protect, as well as the rights
of all others. These directions and
this appeal to the people of that por-
ton of our state now affected by strike
conditions is made in the hope that
the public peace will thereby be pre-
served, the lives and property Of the
citizens of this state protected, and
that in the future, as in the past, the
ordinary and usual course of law will
be sufficient to solve all questions
which arise affecting the public peace
Or the conduct OF the citizens of this
state.

much as the United States appropri-
ated last year for interest on the ma
. tional debt. So much for the financial
aspects Of the worlds greatest tine.
What will be its moral and legal ef-
feet?
"Morally," says the Minneapolis
Journal, cit blasts the Standard Oil
company OF New Jersey. It has been
secret lawbreaker, and has invited,
by its course of conduct, the heaviest
penalty the court could lnhict. There
were no extenuating circumstances ap-
parently, or the judge should have
taken notice of them in fixing the fine.
In the absence of such circumstances,
and only in their absence, would he
be justified in imposing this record
breaking fine on a corporation.
"What Of the legal effect? To be
sure, the Standard Oil company will
resist the collection of this stupen6ous
sum of money. 1t may be long time
in litigation before it is collected.
Nevertheless the United States must
persevere until the check which settles
this fine is drawn and cashed, because
the policy of stopping rebating by
fines is on trial. Heretofore the trusts
and railroads which have been fined
have laughed. It remains to be seen
whether the laugh is not today on the
other side. If the Standard Oil COM
pany parts with its money in payment
of this fine the fact will have sober
ing effect upon others educated in the
same school of lawlessness with the
Standards
But Judge Lands did not stop with
imposing a fine on the Standard Oil
felons. He went further. He recon-
mended that call be issued for a
special grand jury to consider other
offenses and other offenders. The Chi
cago & Alton officials come under this
heading and it is very evident that
Judge Lands does not believe they
should be spared.
It is believed that before he gets
through with the rebaters he will have
muleted them for over S135, 100000
