introduce a bill providing for statute
compelling correct weights and mea-
ures, and for the appointment of a
state sealer.
Members of the Minneapolis Retail
Grocers' association have been most

Vice President Elect MingIes
With House Members,
HIS NEW DUTIES ON MARCH 4
Incident Recalls the Fact That Cola
Continued to Serve as Speaker
Until inausurated v. r.
Especial to The Free Press.1

Washington, Dec. 7.-Behold of all
today, looming even larger in the
public eye than "Uncle Joe" Cannon,
was Representative Sherman, the vice
president elect. When Mr.. Sherman
took his old seat in the front row of
the house today to serve out his term
as aamember of the sixtieth congress,
his fellows of the house witnessed a
vice president elect take part in its
deliberations for the second time in the
history of that body. Schuyler Col
fax, of Indiana, and like Mr.. Sherman
a native of New York, continued to
serve as speaker OF the house for half
a term in the fortieth congress after
he had been elected vice-president on
the ticket headed by Ulysses S. Grant.
What Colfax Did.
On March 3, 1869, >SchuyleT Colfax
resigned as speaker in order that he
might prepare for his Inauguration, as
vice president. He called representative
James +. Wilson, of Iowa. to the
chair and moved the election of Theo-
dOre NJ. Pomeroy of New York, as
speaker. The motion was carried I'M
animously, and for one day Mr.. Pom
eroy acted in that capacity. The for
tieth congress ended on March 4, and
James G. Blaine was elected speaker
of the forty first. Mr.. Colfax remained
as speaker even during the counting
and recording of the electoral votes
which made him vice president, and al.
though this action caused some com
ment at the time, it was finally decided
that it was parliamentary and consti-
tutiOnal.
Will Take No Official Part
Mr. Sherman will have no official
part to take in his formal election,
which takes place in February, al
though he will be as active in legisla-
tive affairs in this session as he
has been in the past. To him will fall
the principal work of framing the in
dian appropriation BILL which his work
on the rules committee and the In
terstate and foreign commerce COM
mittee is expected to give him busy
session in the house before he goes
to the senate to preside over that
body.

MapletOn Man Was Sized Up For
Shower of the Queer
FLOUR CITY SLEUTH'S ERROR
Bride and Groom From Mapleton
Were Treated Rather RudeIy BY
Plain Clothes Man.

Mr.. and Mrs Charles Proehl, just
married. left Mapeton and came TO
Minneapolis on their wedding trip, says
The Minneapolis Journal. Minneapolis,
they thought, would be fine place
for newly married folks from Maple
ton because they could be all alone in
great city. Nobody would know
consequently, as they figured it,
nobody would bother them.
They are back in Mapleton, now,
the richer by the wisdom which they
have acquired by experience. OF course
the wisdom has all TO do with wed.
ding trips and consequently will be of
30 value to them at all, but it may
be so TO others contemplating honey
moon tours.
That newly married young men
should be extremely careful of what
kind of money they attempt to pass
is the warning the Proehls issue.
Spent a Warm Half Hour.
Mr.. Proehl spent warm half hour
in Minneapolis in an effort. eventually
successful. to prove to two detectives
that he is not counterfeiter. Mrs.
Proehl. of course, assured the detec-
tives that they were making mis-
take right at the start, but they
wouldn't take her word for it.
The newly married pair arrived in
Minneapolis early in the day. They
had successfully escaped from their
friends in Napoleon and felt pretty
good about that and the world in gen.
eral.
They decided to take look through
the stores. Suddenly-as Mr.. Diamond
Dicks classic works would have it
he felt a heavy hand upon his shoulder.
Turning he looked straight into the
eyes of man with heavy black
mustache. the curled ends of which
marked him at once as detective.
''You are a counterfeiter," remarked
the sleuth. "Come with me-
"Indeed. he's not" said Mrs. Proehl.
'Indeed, I'm not echoed Mr.. Proehl.
They both thought it was a joke
gotten up by some of the village hui
morists of Mapleton.
Was No Joke.
But it wasn't. The detective and
another detective simply insisted that
: Mr. Proehl go with them, and he did
and then there was much conversa-
ton. First the detective talked awhile
and made all sorts of insinautions and
even direct charges against Mr.. Proehl.
These simply scandalized Mrs. Proehl
She didn't know what to make of. it
at all.
They asked the most personal sort
of questions and wouldn't believe any
thing her brand new husband said.
Finally they did let our that their
suspicious were chiefly based on the
fact that Mr.. Proehl had passed a
counterfeit dollar in the store. He
had gotten it in change somewhere but
IL took all of an hour to convince the
detectives of that and Mr.. Proehl had
to go into his family and personal
history in a simply ridiculous way.
Mrs Proeh told friends in Maple
ton today that detectives are not nice
people at all Mr. Proehl admitted to
his friends that he also has some views
IN detectives and mentioned some. but
hey were not such as could be trans
nitted by telegraph.
On their return home, Mr.. and Mrs.
Proehl were escorted to their home on
baggage truck and later serenaded
~ the band.

GRANITE HIGH, D
OGDEN HIGH, D,
Farmer Boys Give Champions a
Bad Scare-Work Forward
Pass Successfully.
lspecial 10 The HeraIdl

Ogden, Oct. Sl.-For fully sixty minutes
of play. Ogden High school and Granite
High of Salt Lake struggled for the mas
terry at GlenWood field this afternoon. and
the whistle blew at the end of the second
half with the score TO 0.
The visitors worked the forward pass
from the beginning TO the end of the
game, but each time they were met with
a stout resistance from the local lads in
striking contrast with their work in the
game against the Salt Lake High school
a week ago. when they could not handle
the ball. Granite possesses a dusky-
skinned son of Ham. who was the star
actor of their aggregation. He worked the
ends continuously for good gains. Gran
lite proved herself good on kicking. but
did not try it often for some reason. Dur
ing the last half the visitors scared the
locals into trance when they forced the
pigskin to within ten yards of Ogdens
goal by a forward pass followed by
series of line bucks and end runs. But
Ogden took a brace and held them for
downs. recovering the ball and sending
it back on pretty punt Ogden never
got nearer than GRANTEES tWenty-yard
line. which was done by a long punt. but
they lost on downs later and the game
ended with anybody the choice.
The officials of the game gave good sat
isfacticn and there was no complaint
from either side.
