Thirty departments of the state and

Inmates of appropriations needed for

reporting show an increase over the
appropriation of two years ago from
$2.039.615 to $2,722.166, or almost
100000. This increase is due to a
large extent to the need or desire
of new buildings.

clude an auditorium, library, muse
um, domestic science room and dor

school building to cost $4,000 and
a $4,000 mems cottage is wanted AT

UPWARD START
After Changing from Coffee to Postum.

Many a talented person is kept back
because of the interference of coffee
with the nourishment of the body.
This Is especially so with those
whose nerves are very sensitive, as Is
often the case with talented persons.
There is a simple, easy way to get rid
of coffee evils and Tenn. lady's ex-
perience along these lines is worth
considering. She says:
almost from the beginning OF the
use of coffee it hurt my stomach. BY
the time l was fifteen l was almost
nervous wreck, nerves all unstruns, no
strength to endure the most trivial
thing, either work or fun.
There was scarcely anything I
could eat that would agree with me.
The little l did eat seemed to give me
more trouble than 1t was worth.
finally quit coffee and drank hot
water, but there was so little food 1
could digest, I was literally starving;
was SO weak I could not sit up long
at a time.
1T was then a friend brought me a
hot cup of Postum. drank part of it
and after an hour I felt as though l
had had something to eat - felt
strengthened. That was about five
years ago, and after continuing Poo
UNI in place Of coffee and gradually
getting stronger, to-day l can eat and
digest anything l want, walk as much
as I want. My nerves are steady.
Il believe the first thing that did me
any good and gave me an upward
start, was Postum. and I use 1t alto
gether now instead Of coffee" There's

REAL RULER IS DEAD
TsZE HSl AN, DoWAGER EMPRESS
OF JAPAN, PASSES AWAY.
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT MADE
Date Of Death Given Out ~ Two
O'Clock Sunday, but 10 Believed
to Have Occurred Earlier.

Peking-Tsze Hsi An, the dowager
empress Of China, the autocratic head
o. the government which she directed
without successful Interference since
1861, and without protest since 1881,
died at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
The announcement of tn. dowager
empress death was Official and fol-
lowed closely upon the announcement
that Kuang Hsu, the emperor, had
died Saturday at 5 o'clock In the after
noon, but it is believed the deaths &C.

set down in the Official statements.
An Official edict issued ut o'clock
placed on the throne Prince Pu vi,
the 3-year-old son of Prince Chun, the
regent of the empire, in accordance
with promise given by the dowager
empress soon after the marriage of
Prince Chun in 1908. An edict is
sued on Friday made Pu vi heir pre-
sumptive.
The foreign legations were notified
by the foreign board of the death of
the emperor and the succession of
Prince Pu vi. Troops have been in
readiness for several days to quell
any disorders that might arise on the
death of Kuang Hsu, and the posi-
bility Of uprisings was made greater
because of the fact that the death of
the dowager empress was known to
be close at hand. Two divisions of
troops have been held in reserve and
these are now stationed in various
quarters of the city. Twenty gen.
darmes were dispatched to guard the
approaches to the legations, but up to
the present the duties of the forces
have been slight. It was announced
that the legation guard was ordered
out at "the special call of the lega-
lions on account of the emperor's

SOME REMARKS FROM MINNIE.
sofa EDITORS.



A party Of editors from a number Of
cities and towns Of Minnesota recently
made tour Of Western Canada. and
having returned to their homes they
are now telling in their respective
newspapers Of what they saw on thei-
Canadian trip. The West st. Paul
Times recalls the excursion Of the
Minnesota editors from Winnipeg to
the Pacific Coast ten years ago. Re-
ferring to what has happened in the
interval the writer says: Thousands
OF miles Of new railway lines have
been built and the development of
the country has made marvellous
stridea Millions Of acres, then lying
IN their wild and untouched state,
have since been transferred into grain
fields. Towns have sprung up as If
by the wand Of q magician, and their
development Is now in full progress.
It Is revelation, record Of conquest
by settlement that Is remarkable"

that may be homesteaded.
The crops of 1908 have been splen-

the farmers.

the average is about 20 bushels. The
quality Of grain to be shipped from
this point will be about 600, 900 BUSH

Nineteen Men Willing to Accept One
Of Four Places.
Four additional judges of the su-
preme court will be appointed by Gov
ernor Sheldon within two or three
weeks. The appointments are to be
made soon after the state canvassing
board ascertains the result of the

amendment has undoubtedly carried,
but the state canvassing board cannot
officially act until November %.
Within ten days thereafter the gov
ernor shall issue a proclamation de-
claring the amendment to be a part
of the constitution. The present
court commission of six members is
serving at the pleasure of the court
and can be displaced any time to
give way for four judges. The
amendment increases the salary of
judges of the supreme court from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year. Two of the
judges appointed by the governor will
serve till their successors are elected
