No Trouble About il Then.

Before the secret service was used
in the interior department as | have
outlined above. the prosecutions for
land frauds We're insignificant IN
their results. At that time there was
no effective desire shown TO limit
the use of the secret service. Then
the secret service agents wee used
in connection with these land frauds
and secured the prosecution and con
viction of many men, influential be-
cause Of their wealth or their social
or political prominence. Forthwith
there began that active agitation
against the use of the secret service
which continued until the action oi
the congress last spring.

BOARDS FROM GRAIN STRAW
One Ton Will Make Two Thousand
Feet of Lumber.

Valley City, N. D., Nov. 2.-Lumber
from straw was brought home to the
recent meeting of the Society of Equity
in this place by o. G. Gardner of New
York, who has spent twenty years and
100000 perfecting patent finishing
material made from straw. He exhib-
tied products of his factory which re-
sembled hardwood highly polished He
exhibited a piece of. ceiling which mad
been in use fourteen years and it look
ed exactly like the new samples.
Mr. Gardner told the farmers that
he could pay them SIS ton for straw
and manufacture lumber at a cost of
from SIS to 500 thousand feet, one
ton of straw making 1000 feet of the
quarter-inch lumber, such as would be
used in all but big buildings. A plant
which would manufacture $4,000 feet
day would cost from $250,000 to
100000. The lumber retails for $50 a
thousand in New York and at about
$50 here. A plant could be paid for in
season from the profits. He sug-
gested that the farmers organize such
a company or encourage those inter
ested.
The Pennsylvania Railway company
has adopted the board for ceilings for
it's cars and j. j. Hill of the Great
Northern will have the materials used
for car finishings.

BAR OUT THE UNDESIRABLES
Hawaii Legislature to Consider Changes
in Organic Act.

Honolulu, Nov. 2.-Governor Frear
presided at the opening of a special
session of the territorial legislature to-
day which has been called to consider
amendments to the organic act of
Hawaii.
Among the changes recommended are
amendments to land laws to encourage
settlers to take up homesteads, and in
creasing the pay of legislators and
federal officials of the territory.
The governor desires to restrict pub
lie land that any single homesteaders
may take up to eighty acres, to bar
out aliens from homesteading, to en-
force residence on lands preempted and
to distribute land by lottery instead
of by auction.
The legislature is expected to pass
acts on these lines which will be sub

proves it, it is expected large num-

DAUBED UP THE WINDOWS
What Was Done in Mankato on tn,
Halloween Night.

Saturday night was observed as
Halloween by the young people of the
city, and some of them got out on
the streets and played pranks of vari-
Gus kinds, some amusing, some ex-
hibiting no humor whatever, and a
few involving the damaging of prop
erty. One case of the latter was done
by party who ran S. H. Grannis'
coal wagon into the Minnesota river.
Mr. Grannis was able to recover the
wagon today. Outhouses We're turned
over and occasionally other damage
were to feel the strong arm of the
law, this kind of sport would not be
very popular.
Most of the store windows were
soaped and in some cases paraffine or
other things hard to get off were used.
This disfgured the appearance of
Front street yesterday, but this fore
noon many of the merchants got their
windows cleaned. Some used a lot of
elbow grease, when a little gasoline
would have taken the paraffine off
readily. Why the merchants and the
authorities permit such senseless
practice as soaping the windows is
astonishing There is no humor in it,,
and it would seem as though tne
practice has gone far. enough to war
rant calling a halt. With a little de-
termination shown, the practice could
be entirely stopped. 1r a.

MAY TAP SECOND WATER FLOW
Theory of Biologists to Be Tested, If
Money Is Raised

Biologists say that there is or ought
to be second flow of artesian water
about twelve hundred feet below the
surface of the ground, that would fur
nish ample supplies of water. In one
of the enterprising South Dakota cities
this is to be tapped.
George M. Palmer, manager of the
Hubbard mill, which is starting to sink
another artesian well, stated today
that the mill would stand half the
expense of going down the additional
600 feet with this well. if people who
are interested will chip in the other
half The sinking of the well to a
depth of 1900 feet would be in the
nature of an experiment, and if re-
suits were found to justify it, the
knowledge of this water supply would
be of great value.
There are enough institutions in Man.
kato interested in the water supply
to raise the small additional amount
needed, to try the experiment. Three
or four firms, each paying small
amount, would find it no hardship,
but very likely an advantage. The
city might also be interested in help
ing in this experiment, as it has much
more at stake than any individual.

PREPARE A MEAL, GUESS YES.
Normal Students Will Be Instructed in
Domestic Science.

From Mondays Daity'
The domestic science department of
the normal school is in operation. The
first class, sixteen members of the
A seventh and A eighth grades being
initiated into the work this morning,
although on Friday, a formal visit was
paid to the rooms by the fourth grade,
who were given short object lesson
on the different kinds of utensils, the
materials of which they were made,
and also their uses. The department is un-
der the direction of Miss Mary L. Ober-
lin, a graduate of the state university
at Columbus, Ohio. Miss Oberlin has
only the most practical ideas regard
ing the study of domestic science and
does not intend that any of her stu
dents will say after leaving school
that they cannot do certain things in
the culinary line because ''they haven't
the same kind of measuring cup
or special style of utensil." Her pu-
pills will be taught to use two sauce
pans, if double boiler is not at hand,
and will know how to do good work,
even though the most up to date article
is not at their disposal.
Today, the classes at work, were
washing dishes and utensils, preparatory
for the first cooking lesson, which will
take place tomorrow afternoon.
An appropriation of $1,000 was made
for the domestic science department,
nd ho nd mt of
the most approved style that it is pos
sible to procure. At present only the
laboratory is in use, large, light and
airy room, 40x30 feet, and located on
the first floor of the left wing Of
the main building. Later, the dining
room, adjoining the laboratory, will
be in use. This room is 30x20 feet
and will be equipped to teach the cor
rect setting of the table, and the
proper method of serving each meal.
The carpenter and cabinet work has
all been constructed by the school
carpenters, and local firms have fur
nished the equipment. Sixteen pupils
can be accommodated at one time for
cltSS WORK, edcH having Hoi o"H gas
stove and individual utensils. Aside
from the sixteen pupils who are active
ly engaged in cooking, there are two
who act as housekeepers. These are
changed every week so that all may
have instruction in every detail.
The pupils, az well as the teachers,
are all enthusiastic over the new de-
partment, and are anxious to start
in earnest; the necessary aprons and
dish towels,s having all been made by
the pupils of the sewing classes. The
department is one of the most interest
ing in the whole school, and cannot fail
to meet with the approval and COM
mendation of everyone.

The charter commission held brief
