RECEIVED WITH FAVOR.

Representative C. R. Davis of the
third Minnesota district feels greatly
encouraged concerning the passage of
his industrial high school bill. The
measure has been endorsed by the
leading educational men of the Uni
ted States, including favorable reso-
buttons from many educational or
CARNATIONS, farmers associations, state
colleges of agriculture and mechanic
arts, commercial organizations, boards
of trade, manufacturers organizations
and industrial organizations generally
throughout the country have inspired
the hope that congress will be in
duced to consider favorably the mea.
sure during the present session. Mr.
Davis is very much gratified to re-
ceive from President Roosevelt his
hearty and full endorsement of the
measure.
Mr.. Davis has been investigating
some of the few objections sugges-
ted against the bill, and particularly
those wherein it is claimed federal
appropriations would lead to national
ownership of the contemplated schools
and also that these appropriations
would relieve the states from the sense
of responsibility. In answer thereto
he quotes from a letter written by
the Hon. Z. E. Brown, United States
commissioner of education, as fol
lows:
"The recent effect of the national
appropriations under that act (l862)
has been to stimulate greatly the
support of the Immigrant colleges by
the states in which they are situated
Ten years ago, the amount which these
institutions received from their sew
eral states was $2,2ls,lOO, while il
1906 this amount was 1851 SOP, show
ing an increase of about 240 pei
cent. In 1896 these institutions re
ceived, the country over, 20 per cent
of their support from the nationa
government. Ten years later, in 1906
owing to the increase of state appro
priations, the grants from the nationa
treasury covered only l5.4 per cent o.
their total support"
These figures Mr.. Davis contends arr
altogether encouraging as showing thai
national appropriations have not tend
ed to relieve the states of the sense
of responsibility but have in fac
upickened the sense of responsibility
ii the states which are benefited
{ The schools provided for in this meas
ure are of exactly, the same class a.
those inaugurated under the Morril
act of 1862, and like them will
strengthen the states directly, and tn
federal government Indirectly. A

TITLE TO LEWIS PROPERTY
Il IL Involved In An Action In the Dis
trict Court.

The title to the John A. Lewis
property OH South Front street, now
occupied by the Singer Sewing Machine
agency, is involved in the action OF
David II. Thomas against Humphrey
Williams, which was tried before Judge
Cray in the district court this after
noon.
The defendant holds a deed TO the
property executed to him by the late
Mr.. Lewis, but containing the proviso
that the instrument should not be eff
fective until the death of Mr.. Lewis
and effective then only in case Mr..
Williams was living. Mr.. Thomas, as
administrator of the Lewis estate,
seeks to have the title vested in the
estate, contending that the decd con-
veyed no interest.
c. o. Daley appeared for the plain
tiff at the trial this afternoon and
Thomas Hughes for the defendant.

STILL TALKING OF RATE
A. o. U. w. is TRYING TO FIX UP.
ON A PLAN.
Matter Came Up in Committee ofthe
Whole Yesterday; Wa. to Have
Been Decided Today.

st. Paul, Feb. 2l.-After an almost
continuous and heated discussion from
nine O'Clock i'll the morning until after
six O'Clock i'll the evening, the Mime
sofa grand lodge, A. o. L. W., sit
| ting in committee of the. whole,
yesterday voted in favor of the COM
missioner's plan of readjusting insur-
| ance rates, with an amendment which
provides that the rates as applicable
| to present members, shall be based OH
the PERSONS age at entry instead of at
attained age.
The commissions plan, with the
! amendment, passed by small ma jor-
| ity, and it was made a special order
of business for ten o'clock this morn
ing.
The proposed amendment was gen
orally favored by the older members
of the lodge, who do not like to have
their insurance rates increased at their
age, though many of the older mem
bers were i'm favor of the plan eX-
actly as it was recommended by the
committee.
1t was the question of the amount
of the assessment for each $1,000
worth of insurance at the various ages
that caused the dissension. Accord
ing to the commissions plan, a per-
son joining the order at the age of
eighteen years would have to pay ten
ST assessments each year. The amount
of the assessment is increased with
each year until a man who joins at
the age of sixty-five would have to
pay 1874 for each of his ten as
sessments.
| According to the amendment, new
members must pay according to the
schedule of the committee, but the
present members will have to pay
not according to their present age,
but according to their age at the
time of becoming members. For in
stance, man is forty-nine years of
age and has been a member of the
lodge for seventeen vars. Instead of
paving a rate of $3O4, the rate for
his present age, he only has to pay
a rate of $3.50, the rate for the man
of thirtytwo years of age.

Doan's Ointment Cures Eczema and
Itching Piles. Mankato People
Recommend IT.

Recommend 1t.
One application of Doan's Ointment
stops any itching. Short treatment
cures eczema, itching piles, salt rheum
any skin eruption OF skin itching. 1t
is the cheapest remedy to use, because
so little of it is required to bring
relief and a cure. Here is Mankato
Testimony to prove it:
Mrs. j. Jessup, of 40S Poplar street
Mankato, Mimi, says: 81 consider
Doan's Ointment most reliable prep
aration for any itching skin eruption
and L have known it to cure
several different cases. A few years
ago one of the members OF our
family suffered from a breaking
out OF an irritation which we called
rash. 1t burned like fire and the more
it was rubbed the worse it became.
He had been doctoring for it for
some time before we got Doan's Oint-
ment at j. e. Thro's drug store, but
tile trouble got worse and worse. When
he applied Doan's Ointment the re-
lief was immediate and in short
time he was cured. / recommended
Doan's Ointment some years ago and
am glad to state that 1 still think
highly of it. 1t is worthy of all the
praise I can give it,"

COMNIENDABLE ACT.

The council should be commended
by all enterprising and public spirited
citizens for its prompt action in APP
propriating money toward the con-
struction of another bridge across the
Minnesota river. That another bridge,
by which means people can come from
Nicollet county to Mankato, is needed
badly, no one will question. The pres.
ent bridge cannot accommodate the
ever increasing travel to and from
Mankato. 4 The council recognized the
need of the bridge and therefore the
money was voted promptly.
