Fixes Interest Rate.

st. Paul-The state board of deposit
consisting Of State Auditor s. G. Iver-
son, State Treasurer c.. C. Dinehart
and Public Examiner Anton Schaefer.
has passed resolution requiring an
interest rate Of 8 per cent from all
banks In the state used as state de-
positories. But three banks are ex-
empt, they being the Security Bank Of
Minnesota at Minneapolis and the
Merchants National and First National
banks Of st. Paul. These banks are
designated as repositories where the
active current state accounts may be
kept, and these banks are to pay 2 per
cent interest on daily balances.
Heretofore the distinction in regard
to the rate of interest has been be-
tween the city and country banks, the
banks of the small towns being obliged
to pay per cent interest, while the
banks of st. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth
and Winona paid but per cent. The
new order makes the distinction be-
tween active and checking accounts.
The order will affect nearly all the
banks in the state.

Fruit From South Africa.

Minneapolis-Pears and plums that
were grown in South Africa furnish
something in the way Of unusual deli
cacies in the stock Of E. P. Stacy &
Sons, commission merchants, and so
far as it known, this is the first South
African fruit to appear in the Min
neapolis market.
The consignment, which was shipped
first to London and from there to Min
neapolis by way of New York, consists
Of several boxes Of Wickson plums and
several Of Bon Cretin pears. The fruit
was grown on the Cecil Rhodes farm
and because of the cost Of transporta-
ton it will be necessary to sell each
pear or plum for 10 or Is cents to
cover expense.

Fish Clog Water in Pipe.

Brainerd-The Northern Pacific
Railway company has been having
trouble for some time in getting water
at it's we'll which supplies the tank at
Klondike. A few days ago a crew Of
men were set at work to clean out the
we'll, and it was found to be absolutely
filled with fish. There were suckers,
bullheads, sinners and other small fish
almost by millions. Suckers Weighing
seven pounds were found.
The pumps has refused to work and
an examination showed that two large
buIlheads had got into the cylinder,
clogging it completely and it was nee
essary to take the pump apart to get
them out.
The we'll is connected by large in
take pipe with the Lookout lake, and
it is thought that the screen over the
end of the pipe must have rusted out,
thus allowing the fish to pass into the
we'll.

SENATORS Are NOT OFFICERS or

ARGUMENT OF HOPKINS
Declares the Utah Senator Good
Citizen, and Has Lived sInau.

Life.

Washington-The FIRST speech in de-
tense OF the right OF Reed smoot to
a seat In the senate was delivered by
Senator hopkins. OF Illinois. Mr..
Hopkins took the position that sena.
tors were not federal officers to the
extent that the senate could pass
upon their qualifications and ellgibil-
lty, or could impeach them for high
crimes or misdemeanor. II q senator
was to be punished. It must be done
by the state or federal courts. Only
federal officers, he maintained, were
impeachable, and this Impeachment
must be for acts committed as such
federal officers.
A precedent Hundred Years Old.
The precedent cited was the I'M
successful effort TO impeach Senator
Blount, OF Tennessee, charged with
reasonable correspondence with q
foreign nation. more than 100 years
ago. The conclusion, then. Mr.. Hop
kins said, had never been reversed.
and that was that the senate had no
right to try the case. as Senator
Blount was not an officer OF the Unit.

Mr.. Hopkins said Il was unnecessary
for him to multiply evidence to dem.
onstrate his point that individual
states have no power to add any quail
fication to a senator other than those
prescribed by the federal constitution

Referring directly to Mr. Smoot, he

that eastern shoe manufacturing cen.

The Car Shortage Question.
The car shortage question is stIll
acute, though mild weather helps the
railroads. Special complaint comes
from the northwest, where the fuel
and grain movement Is checked: from

OF fuel Is scanty; from Oklahoma,
