Given to Speeches and Hearing of
the Presidents Message.

considering. the sundrE civil bill, the
house devoted most of its time to
speeches covering wide range of
subjects and concluded the session by
giving an attentive hearing to the
presidents special message. AL

read the message in the newspapers,
a large number remained in their
seats carefully following the words
of the reading clerk. When the por-
tion of the message referring to the
multi-millionaire whose son is fool
and his daughter a foreign princess,
was reached there was a storm of ap-
plause equally pronounced on both
sides of the house. r
Mr.. Leake of New Jersey made
some caustic remarks on the presi-
dent, evoking applause on the Demo-
cratic side a.
Sumptuary laws and especially the
shutting out from army posts of the
canteen were the subjects of remarks
by Mr.. Goebel of Ohio.
Predicting that Roosevelt policies"
would prevail at the next national Re-
publican convention, Mr.. Madison of
Kansas paid glowing tribute to the
president, declaring that his forestry
achievements alone had realized "the
dream of the age"
Need for further educational re-
striction in immigration was discussed
by Mr. Burnett of Alabama, who de-
precated the condition of immigrants
from Southern Italy. H.
Mr. Aiken of South Carolina advo-
Gated the passage of his bill to limit
the jurisdiction of federal control over
interstate commerce. to permit states
to control the liquor traffic within
their borders. 49,. --.--
Representative Keifer of Ohio dis
cussed pension legislation and direct
cd caustic criticism toward bills in
troduced by his colleague, General
Sherwood. Later, Mr.. Ansberry of
Ohio in brief speech defended pen
sion measures presented by General
Sherwood and expressed regret that
two veterans of the war should be at
odds over pension legislation.

who was taken into custody. The
wound evidently was caused by a blow
with a sharp instrument or by com
ing into contact with some sharp OBJ
ject in falling. The prisoner SO far

SITES over The RIVER
NORTH MANkATO TO TRY TO
SECURE The HOSPITAL.
Several Beautiful Locations Offered
Right on Bank of Placid Waters
of Minnesota River.

North Mankato is making an eff
fort to secure the hospital. Several
sites are being talked of, j. e., kron's
tract. near the bridge, the Hunt tract,
Anderson . tract and Hughes tract.
These are favored because of their
close proximity to the. river. as a pri-
vate sewer would be inexpensive.
The Kron tract would be a splendid
location from every point of view.
A beautiful outlook on. the river side,
its central location; only two blocks
from the union depot, and having other
advantages desirable fer the hospital
site.
The North Mankato sites are largely
favored by Mankato citizens. In fact,
it was they who started the move to
secure a site there. -.
