A husband and father makes the
following appeal for aid thru the col,
umns Of the Idun: II have a young,
merry wife who has the bad habit of
being unwilling to get up any earlier
than ten o'clock In the forenoon.
What am to do to make her get
up earlier and tend to her home?
nave tried in all possible ways to ask
her to get up earlier, but all in vain1
she 1s well, and may 60 to bed as earl
~ as she wants to in tho EVENING"
She has a half-year old boy, but she
does not care to tend to him either
night or day, but makes a thirteen,
year old girl take care Of him. The
little boy has taken sick, of course,
What shall do in order that my
wife may get up earlier in the morning
and tend to her home and her chill:
dren during the day? Asks a troubled
father and husband" Poor fellow! ;
There are strict rules against board,
ing or leaving railway trains while
they are in motion. A man recently
broke these rules at Mellansele IN
such hurry that no one had time to
interfere. Just after his train started
he found that he was going in the
wrong direction. In an instant he
seized his grip and overcoat, slipped
out Of the car and jumped off, tho the
train had attained dangerous speed,
He landed on his legs, and as soon
as he had checked the momentum
given to his body he wheeled around
and started for the depot which he
had left. When he came there his
train was already going in the opposite
direction. But instead Of stopping
and hesitatfng he only increased his
speed, and he actually succeeded in
boarding the right train before any,
body had time to think of stopping
him.
The Swedish riksdag was opened
Jan. II with the usual ceremonies,
In his speech from the throne the
king said that good relations had been
maintained with all the foreign pow
ers, and stated that the long-standing
difference with Norway regarding the
boundary line thru the Grise Caderna
lobster grounds had been settled by
arbitration, and negotiations were pro-
ceeding before a court of arbitration
for fixing the time Of the migration
OF the Lapps into Norway. Refer
ring to the legislative measures which
will be submitted to the riksdag, the
speech recalled to mind the serious
labor dispute which occupied the at
tention of the country last summer
His majesty stated that, although the
public peace on the whole had not
been disturbed, the necessity of adopt
ing efficient measures for prevent
ing strikes and protecting important
public institutions had been convinc-
ingly demonstrated. A bill for this
purpose has been prepared and will
be laid before the riksdag.

DR.. HILL DECLINES
POPULAR EDUCATOR IS INDUCED
TO REMAIN IN HIS PRESENT
POSITION.
AS HEAD 0FMISS0URI UNIVERSITY
Brief Telegram Announces His Deci-
sion to Waiting Regents.-Dr. Nor.
throp May Remain as Head OF
Minnesota Another Year.

eapolis.-President Albert Ross
Hill, of the University of Missouri,
has formally declined the presidency
of the University of Minnesota.
The announcement came in tele-
grams to James T. Gerould, librarian
at the university, friend of the Mis-
souri, president, and to B. F. Nelson,
member of the board Of regents. Mr..
Nelson formally announced the deci-
sion of DR.. Hill in the absence Of John
Lind, president of the board.
The explanation of the situation was
expressed in DR.. Cyrus Northrop's
comment when he heard the news.
'Dr Hill has refused to be consid-
cred as candidate for the presidency
of the University Of Minnesota, and
I am exceedingly sorry. It wasn't how
ever, that he loved Minnesota less,
but that he loved Missouri more. I
understand that great deal of pres
sure was brought to bear upon him
to cause him to remain where he is.
I have no idea who the regents will
consider for the position now.'
The telegram of DR.. Hill was brief
and gave none of the reasons for
his decision. A letter will follow, how
ever, setting forth his explanation.
Dr.. Northrop May Stay.
That DR.. Northrop may continue In
Office another year is considered a
possibility by many. Mr.. Nelson hopes
that the president may be relieved of
his duties and that his successor may
be found in the near future. Professor
Balthazar Meyer of the University of
Wisconsin is favored by several of the
regents.
The regents believed up to late
hour that DR.. Hill would accept their
offer of the Minnesota presidency A
conference with the Missouri educator
in Chicago a short time ago caused the
regents to feel that DR.. Hill favored
Minnesota.
B. F. Nelson was called into confer
ence for further consideration of plans
to secure DR.. Northrop's successor.
News of the deliberations has not
been given out.

SEABURY GETS HIS MONEY.
Governor johnson Refused to Give
His Signature to War rant. r.

st. Paul, Feb. Ex-Governor Eber
hart. acting on a decision given by
Attorney General Simpson. approved
the $3.50 voucher for services OF
Claiming Seabury on the capitol com.
mission that the late Governor John.
son had refused to approve, acting on
the advice of former Attorney Gener.
al Young.
The governor signed the voucher of
Mr.. Seabury. vice chairman of the
new capitol commission, for 1880
for per diem for time spent in connec.
ton with the construction of the new
capitol. The bill covers the last two
and a half years of the existence of
the capitol commission and is the
same bill that Governor Johnson re-
fused to allow, because Attorney Gen.
eral Young held that it was not legal
charge against the state.
Attorney General Simpson gave the
governor an opinion that the charge
was legal and the governor promptly
signed the warrant.
The act creating the capitol commits
sion provided that it's members should
be paid SIS per day for the time devot.
ed to the work, and their expenses
The governor was ex-of1icio chairman
of the commission and Mr.. Seabury
was vice chairman and the resident
member. The law provided that all
vouchers must be signed by a MAORI
ty Of the board and by the governor.
No question arose until Governor
Johnson came into Office. Then Mr..
Seabury presented q bill in which he
had charged the IS per diem not only
for the days the commission held it's
meetings, but also for the time he
spent visiting the capitol. The S. per
diem had been charged for going up
the day the battle flags were removed
from the old to the new capitol and
for trips to the capitol when the Hor-
ton bill, relating to the control Of the
capitol, was being discussed by the
legislative committees.
Governor johnson Dissented.
Governor Johnson refused to sign
the bill and E. T. Young, then attor-
ney general, gave an opinion that the
charges for per diem outside the days
the board was meeting were not legal
charges against the state.
So from the fall of 1904, when the
capitol was 50 far completed that the
state officials and legislature moved
in, until in March, 1907, when the con-
troll Of the building passed from the
commission to the governor, Mr.. Sea-
bury drew no per diem except for the
days when the commission held meet
ings. It was thought that it was a
closed incident until Governor Johnson
died.
In the accounts of the capitol COM
mission the warrant for 1880 to
Charming Seabury is entered as issued
and that much money reserved out of
the state capitol fund, but the amount
still remained in the state treasury.
The balance of the $4,500,0 900 in the
capitol fund is expended.
The governor put the matter I'D to
Attorney General Simpson and he re-.
versed the ruling of his predecessor
and held that the law did not mean
that the members of the commission
should be paid only for the days they
had meetings, but for all tkRt time they
spent in connection with the construc-
ton Of the capitol.
