MAIL CLERK IS
DISCHARGED
No News by Wireless.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 26.--John
Thornton has been discharged from the
railway mail service for insubordina-
tion, evidenced by his sending to Frank
III. Hitchcock, postmaster general, a
telegram announcing that he and other
clerks would refuse to perform over
time service.
The telegram to this effect was re-
ceived from Alexander Grant, super
intendent OF railway mail service, to
day and transmitted to Thornton, who
is publicity man for the Northwestern
Railway Mail clerks, by Norman Per-
kins, superintendent of the Tenth d.
vision
The letter from Joseph Stewart,
second assistant postmaster general,
which Perkins declared answered de-
mands Of the clerks and should satisfy
them, became public today. 1t was
found by the clerks to deal in gener-
alities, to promise no relief from con-
ditions of which they complain, and
will have no effect upon their attitude
The clerks will hold a mass meeting
in ST. Paul Saturday night.

STATE BAR TO
Hold Meeting

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. ga call for
a meeting Of the North Dakota Bar
association to be held in Bismarck
Friday afternoon has been issued by
Dean A. A. Bruce of Grand Forks,
president Of that organization. The
important matter up for consideration
is the framing of bill that will be
proposed for adoption to amend the
present non partisan judicial election.
The legislative committee of the
bar association has been working in
Bismarck for some time and It is un-
derstood that a rough draft of a bin
that viii be submitted to the ASSOC
citation has finally been completed.
This draft is very much the same as
the Cashel bill introduced recently by
which party conventions would be
held, the candidates nominated being
placed on a non partisan ballot II
is also proposed to include the Offices
OF state and county superintendent
IT was at a meeting held In this
city in the fore part of December that
the proposition OF submitting a new
plan for the holding of the Judicial
elections was decided upon, and since
that time the committee appointed
hiss been intensely active.

Charleston, w. Va, Jan. 26.-The
situation in the West Virginia body of
lawmakers is unique in the annals Of
American statehood. The democratic
house has been organized and has a
batch Of bills before It, Fifteen demo.
cratic members of the senate say the
senate has organized also, but fifteen
republican senator's by leaving the
senate and enjoying brief vacation
in Cincinnati have expressed their
contempt for this view.
Governor Glasscock holds to the
view of the exiles and has not deliv-
cred his message TO the legislature on
the ground that it has not properly
convened. BY blocking the session the
election of Clarence w. Watson and
William e. Chiffon. democratic caucus
nominees for the United States sena-
torsnip, are blocked from any chance
at being elected until the fifteen re-
publicans return. In view Of the fact
that the governor has refused to send
his message to the legislature, 1t is
thought he will also refuse to sign the
commission of the senators when they
are elected without the fifteen repub-
licans on the ground.

NOTED BRITISH
STATESMAN dies

London, Jan. 26.-Sir Charles Went
worth Dixie died today. The immed-
late cause Of death was heart trouble,
though he had been in an enfeebled
condition since the recent election, the
strain of the campaign having affected
him severely. Sir Charles was born
In 1S43 and had represented the Forest
Of Dean division of Gloucester in par
lament since 1892.
He was recognized as one of the
most brilliant minds in politics, par
ticulariy in the domain OF foreign
affairs, and but for an old divorce
scandal that blighted his career, prob
ably would have held the highest Of
fees in the gift of his country.

scrappy day in the senate.
there was a big discussion in rex q.

to whether this rule permitted tn
reading Of all bills under second read-
ing without being printed. 1t was de-
cided that bills could be read without
being printed.
The other scrap came over con-
current resolution presented by Sena-
tor Movius to the effect that when the
senate adiourns Friday night it take
recess for four days, or until next
Tuesday This brought on a hot de-
bate and it was finally voted to lay
the bill on the table. The members
believe that there is too much work
before the legislature to warrant TAX
ing this lay-off
Three bills are reported back from

Some Comparisons.
People who live in Minnesota do not
realize sufficiently the advantages of
this state and the necessity of placing
these advantages more clearly before
the people of the United States. Min
nesotans believe in and love their state.
but in the hurrysof every day life they
do not always post themselves as we'll
as they should, about home affairs.
For example, compare Minnesota
with New England, which has 66,465
square miles and-6, 550.00O. people: with
with New York, with 49,17O square
miles and 9, ,o00ipeople; with Penn
