NICKEL THEATRE

The Nickel Theatres program OF mo-
ton pictures and illustrated songs for the
coming week Is varied one, embracing
all brand new films OF a comedy and dra-
matte nature. The management of the
Nickel Theatre has representatives in
New York and Chicago constantly on the
alert for new material and every week
a steamer from Europe brings the latest
foreign films. That is the reason why
the pictures are so fresh and new all the
time.
No one ever sees the same picture twice
at the Nickel, except within the three
days Il is shown. and many people SO
twice week regularly, confident of find
ing pictures that will amuse and interest.
A special feature of the program for the
first three days of next week will be Bob
Alden and the Nickel quartet singing the
beautiful new philosophy song, Keep on
Smiling a new song that is bound to be-
come the rage Miss Carrier will also
have a pretty offering in THE Songs My
Dear Old Nanny Used to Sing" Both Of
these songs will be capitally illustrated

A member of the Glendorado Mu-

U ion in protest of the charges i'm
posed upon the farmers for hall use
whatsoever the tillers Of the soil meet
for any purpose in the village OF
Princeton. The communication is
substantially as follows: !! y "a
A word to the Business Men OF
Princeton: Nearly every village or
city has hall that is let. free OF
charge to farmers for their meetings.
Now you,think nothing of giving from
five to twenty-fve dollars for Fourth
of July celebration simply because
you know that if you get the people to
your place you will get your money
back with interest. Now, should these
same farmers want hall for one OF
their meetings you charge them ten
dollars for the use of it. There has
already been some talk of meeting at
some other place and the farmers
surely will if Princeton does not do
better by them. A Farmer.

AUDITOR IYERsoN,s REPORT.

k1s
The advance sheets Of State Auditor
Iverson's report for the two fiscal
years ending July 31st, 1906, show a
satisfactory condition of the states
finances. Last January the revenue
fund was overdrawn to the enormous
extent of S2,227, 6S3.OS, this January
the overdraft will not exceed. 5000, 900,
and by March LIST there will. be a large
overplus on hand. This is owing to
the increased taxes paid by railroads
and other corporations. It is ex-
pected that the tax rate for revenue
purposes can be reduced to one-half
mill this year.
Mr.. Iverson very properly recon-
mends the creation of permanent tax
commission, an increase in the taxes
paid by express companies, telephone
companies and sleeping cars, and he
also favors a registry tax of one-half
of one per cent on mortgages. These
recommendations should be acted
upon favorably by the legislature.
Another recommendation by Mr..
Iverson that should be needed by the
Legislature is that with reference to
royalties paid on iron ore taken from
state landslide royalties should be
increased at least 100 per cent and the
life of mining contracts should be
limited to twenty years. But we doubt
the advisability of a commission of
the executive state officers to manage
the mineral business of the state. The
state auditor is the proper official to
handle all matters pertaining to min
eral lands. There should be no d.
vided responsibility.
There is a lack of positiveness in
some 'of Mr.. VERSIONS recommends
tions, but on the whole his second
biennial report is able and compre-
hensive and of more real value to the
legislature than the reports of all the
other elective and appointive state
officers combined.

Unless the federal pure food law be
materially amended it will prove OF
little benefit to the consumer. The act
does not, as generally supposed. pro-
hibit the sale of adulterated foods,
but merely specifies that to the pack
ages containing such foods or liquors
shall be affixed a label descriptive OF
the ingredients therein. Neither does
the law dictate the size Of type to be
used in this description or prohibit
the use of short-weight cans or short.
measure bottles. INSCRIPTIONS manu-.
facturers are taking advantage OIL
these defects in the law to continue the

ton of the republican state convention
and voiced the sentiments of the re.
publicans of Minnesota by unani.
mously nominating Knute Nelson. as
the republican candidate for United
State senator. There was not dis.

his party. Minnesota is proud OF her
senior senator. The action of the re-
publican caucus will be formally rati-
fed by the legislature on the 22nd day
of this month. -

Even James J. Hill, who travels on
a special train and for whom, as near
as practicable, clear track is main
tanned when proceeding from one place
to another, fears that every journey
he takes might be his last. Anent this
Mr.. Hill is accredited with making the
following statement:
"Of late I never start on a railroad
journey without wondering how it will
end-whether it will not be my last.
The enormous increase in the volume
of traffic has caused it to become a
common practice on many roads to
allow three trains on block at the

sidewalks obtainable and are now
compelled to remain abed in order to

when an opportunity offered. There

It is not unlikely that a bill pro-
viding for government inspection of
grain will be introduced at the pres
emit session of congress. It is the
contention of many growers that in
spection by state officials is unfairly
performed and that discrimination is
shown. It is also intimated that state
grain inspectors some of them
are working a graft for their personal
aggrandizement. Whether govern
ment inspection would remedy these
evils or not is "a question. The en-
ployment of an inspector by the gov.
eminent does not necessarily make
him biim s more honest than were he en-
ployed by the state.

4 SENSIBLE REcoafarENDAT1oN.

. a SENSIBLE HECO111ENDAT1ClN
In his annual report to the governor
and legislature State Treasurer Block
says:
The state of Minnesota has never
had the necessary police protection
for it's timber, which covers an area
of hundreds of square miles. This has
made trespassing and thievery pos
sible, and in many cases much time
has elapsed before the depredations
were discovered, by which time the
timber had been removed and it was
difficult to get the necessary evidence
to prosecute the offenders. Any in
dividual or private corporation with
a similar amount of timber interests
would have far more police protection.
Owing to this insuffciency of help and
necessary appropriations to carry on
the work, the state has been obliged
to compromise claims, and it is thus
evident that it has been false economy
and an extremely unwise policy.
Yet the appropriation for. caring
for the states agricultural, timber
and mineral lands is now more than
double what it was during any of the
eight years of r. G. Dunn's admins
tration of the state auditors Office.
and the timber area is less by SO per
cent now than it was then.
