PERSONAL NOTES.

AS for Mr.. Foraker, he still has that
dark Brownsville taste in his mouth.
Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes intends to de,
vote a portion of her $4,000, 900 estate
to the erection of a magnificent hospl,
tai in Chicago.
Ex-senator Stewart of Nevada, de-
spite his long white beard and his SO
years of life, is still erect and.a sturdy
speciment of manhood.
Los Angeles never will forgive Ad.
miral Bob Evans if he doesn't recover
from his rheumatism when he begins
to breathe the air of that town.
Colonel Cocktails says: THE Pan
ANA canal will be completed and open
for business on January /, 1915" At
last there is something definite!
Governor Hughes ought to be able to
extend a good deal of sympathy to
President Roosevelt. Hughes knows
what it is to have an unfriendly SEN
ate on his hands.
Commander Peary is likely soon to
be a very rich man, as he has quietly
purchased sixteen desirable islands in
Casco bay, Maine, where he may build
a big summer hotel and where he may
raise Esquimaux dogs on a large scale.
1t is not likely he will begin the devel
opment of the property until after his
next Polar trip.-Omaha Bee.

TO BE TRIED FOR
FIRST DEGREE MURDER,

Leonard Nicholson, who shot and
killed Rudolph Furrer in the western
part of Weston county a few days ago,
has been bound over to the May term
of the court at Newcastle. when lie
will be tried on the charge of murder
in the first degree. Nicholson claims
he killed Furrer in self-defense; that
Furrer was in the act of aiming at
him. When the coroner went to inves,
tigate, however, he found Furrer with
heavy leather mittens on his hands,
although a gun was lying near. The
circumstances also pointed to the fact
that Furrer was shot while seated on
the ground. The quarrel between the
two men was yer a snowbank which
both wished to use to water their
sheep.

To the Officers and Members of the
Minnesota State Fire Department asso-
citation. Gentlemen: Pursuant to the
provision of the bylaws, | herewith
transmit for your consideration, my an
nual report, for the year ending June
6. 1908.
During the past year the affairs of
your association have prospered beyond
our fondest expectations. The member
ship has shown a remarkable increase.
the finances are in first -class shape,
and the interest manifested in the
affairs of the association by the fire.
menof the state, gives us ground
for hopes for a greater association in
the years to come.
Our state law passed in 1903 was
revised by the commission in 1905,
and at that time your officers took
an active part in the revision. and on
the advise of Judge Fish one of the
members of the commission, we accep
ted his Interpretation of the language
used in the revised law. In July, 1907,
at conference with Attorney General
Young on the Saltwater case, he ruled
that the money paid by the. state to
relief associations should be first paid
to the treasurer of the town or city,
and by him paid over to the treasurer
of the relief association" The ruling

cities or more tnan $4,000 Inhabitants.
1t is for you to decide at this COM
vention how that the shall be drawn;
will it apply to all cities in the state
that have Fire departments? or, will
it apply only to those towns and cities
that now or may hereafter have a regu-
larly organized relief association? If the
act is general in its scope and pro-
vides that fund shall be created
from tax levy of Ito of mill on
all the taxable property of each town
or city, the money so derived to be
used the same as the insurance tax
is now used, you will leave the dis
bursement of these funds in the Ina nds
of the officials. But if you limit
the scope of the proposed law to aL'-
ply to towns and cities that now or
hereafter have regularly organized
relief association, and provide that the
funds received under the provisions of
this act snail be paid over to the trea
surer of the firemen's associa
ton, and shall be expended under
the provisions of the Articles of In
corporation and by laws, but only for
the following purposes: For the relief
of sick, injured and disabled firemen,
their widows, orphans and for the pay
ment of pensions for long service pur-
suant to the provisions of Chapter 80,
Laws of 1907, you have secured for the
fircmcn the right to regulate how this
money shall be disbursed; they are the
ones that are interested in seeing that
the funds are properly invested and
and that a complete account
ing is made to the people each year
In this way you encourage the organ
ization of relief associations through
out the state and it will also be an
to get good men to join the
various fire departments. But if you
do not limit the scope of the law to
apply to towns that have relief asso-
Citations you have an opportunity for
men that are against the payment of
money from the direct taxation for this
purpose to bring the law into disrepute ,
in some towns, and then they will have
a chance to ask for its repeal This
matter should receive your very care
full consideration at this meeting.
Exempt from Taxation.
Another question that should receive |
consideration from the members of the |
association is that the firemen of |

character of the service they render
to the people in their respective COM
munities demand that the volunteer

considerations before the law as Us ac-
corded the members of the militia

matter must be held in. allegiance until
our pension legislation is out of the
way as, one thing at time, and do
that right, is better than asking for
too much, and receiving nothing. I,
merely call these matters to your at
tention so that they can be taken
care of at the proper time.
The advertising in the last annual
report paid the cost of the printing.
Competitive bids were received from
four different firms and the Job was
let to the Mortified News, the low,
est bidder; 1000 copies of the report
were printed and sent out to the
members.
Owing to- the passage of the cent
fare law, Che committee on transpor-
tation were unable to get any conces-
sions from the railroad companies.
They exhibited a very friendly spirit
towards the association, and would
like to help us out in the matter of a
reduced rate, but said that they did

have fought for, to have the money 90

Another question That has come up
during the year, is 1.-THE clause in the
state law that permits municipalities to

question is, would it not be better to

let the municipality provide the funds
for the equipment and maintenance of
the department from taxation. If that
was done, there would be no more
Saltwater cases as the city would not
be interested in the money; they could
not spend it if they got it from the
state, and there would be no obec-
ton, as there is in some towns, to the
organization of relief association
The most important question that
the association will have to deal with
this year is to secure the passage Of
a uniform Pension law along the lines
of pension legislation now in force for
