CLEAN OUT YOUR BASEMENT

Fire Chief Thayer has been
making the rounds this week CIV
ing instructions to the owners of
buildings to clean out their base
ments Of ashes, refuse and other
accumulations. The law makes it
imperative that all debris be cart
ed away for the safety Of the
premises. The chief has notified
number Of the property owners
to this effect, and if his order is
not complied with at once there
will be something doing. Proper
ty owners and tenants ought to
take enough pride in this regard
and keep their premises in good
sanitary condition without being
notified.

LAWYER POWERS
SAYS SOMETHING

Victor L. Power, one of the
brightest and most prominent law
yers in Northern Minnesota and a
booster for everything which is
right, was in Duluth the other day
and told the newspaper men what
he thought in general of the situa-
ton at Hibbing. Vic knows a
thing about law as we'll as other
things and never hesitate to tell
about it. In an interview with q
Duluth reporter Mr.. Power says:
"This talk about Hibbing de-
elning Is for the most part the
dream Of some penniless idler.
Hbbing is not as prosperous as it
once was, and in this respect is in
"a class with most of the cities Of
the country. As far as the range
towns are concerned, Hibbing
leads them all. As a matter of
fact it is in better shape right
now, in every way, than it was a
year ago. Every branch of bust
ness is prosperous and collections
are excellent. OF course much of
the glare may never return. But
the real J, substantial affairs are in
first-class shape.
"All Of the underground mines
are working and many men are
being employed at the open-pit
properties. None of the mines
are operating to capacity, but
they are employing sufficiently
large number Of men to make Hib-
bling one Of the best towns in the
world today. ..~..~... : -

Direct Election of
Senators Favored by
Senate Committee
Resolution Authorizing Amendment to
Constitution Will Be Reported
Strong Opposition to Measure.

WASHINGTON, Jan. t0-The senate COM
mittee on the judiciary today reached a
decision 10 report favorably the sub-com-
mittee resolution authorizing an amend
ment to the constitution providing for the
election of United States senators by direct
vote of the people.
The controversy in the committee turned
upon the question as to whether the state
or the federal government should super
wise the elections The subcommittee s
report directs that the times, places and
manner of holding the elections shall be
prescribed by the state legislature.
Senators Depew and Nelson both offered
amendments giving congress the power to
regulate, but the southern senator's opposed
these provisions as most prejudicial to the
interests OF their constituents. The two
amendments were similar. but Mr.. Depew's
went farther than Mr.. Nelson's in the
matter of prescribing the qualifications OF
electors. Both we're voted down, to g.
While greatly encouraged at the progress
made the advocates of the change, which
would take the election of senator's from
the state Legislatures and place them in
the hands OF the people. are by no means
sanguine OF immediate success. There Is
strong opposition in the senate to the pro-
vision and it ia expected the measure will
die with this congress. Never before has q
favorable report on a similar measure beer
received from the judiciary committee.

Five Thousand Tons
of Alfalfa is Burned;
Loss Fifty Thousand
Plant of Alfalfa Meal Company at
Council Bluffs is Destroyed
Omaha Men Interested.

The plant OF the Alfalfa Meal company
at Tenth avenue and Twelfth street, Coun-
Gil Bluffs, valued at about $4,000 and COW
cred by insurance, was totally destroyed
by fire Monday.
A small fire in the hay shed adjoining
the main building of brick, presumably
started by a spark from a switch engine
on the Rock Island tracks nearby, was
discovered at o'clock yesterday afternoon
and eXtinguished By the fire department
Again at 6 o'clock the fire broke out and
the fire companies, after throwing a large
amount of water, apparently extinguished
it. But a few smouldering embers must
have been left, for at IL o'clock the whole
building was discovered to be on fire.
The fire companies fought desperately, but
were unable to cope with the situation and
within a short time the building was in
ruins.
The hay shed in which the fire originated
is said to have contained 900 worth of
hay. The company had q joint contract
with the Omaha Alfalfa Milling company
to buy from a large number OF western
| farmers all their alfalfa at s. a ton, I. O. b..

PRESENT ExcELS OVER PAST
Prof. Grummann Delivers Lecture on
Development of Literature
and Art.

Art and literature are in a higher state
today than during the time when Greece
was enjoying her most enlightened period
That was the opinion given yesterday
afternoon by Prof Paul II. Grummann Of
the chair OF modern German literature Of
Nebraska university IN the course of a
lecture at the public library Prof
Grummann said the greatest development
in literature and art in all the ages was
made during the nineteenth century.
1T is because Of the growth in realism"
he said, "and realism is the direct out
growth OF modern science. Science has
taught US 10 be more accurate and accuracy
has extended through all our artistic en-
deavOrs. II was only in the nineteenth cen
fury that mountains became really beauti-
ful to us The painters OF the olden times
did not paint mountains. They painted
pictures in which was what they called
mountains, but really were blocks or
masses Of color. only I'm the last fifty
years have our magazines begun to develop.
They have become more accurate. Their
illustrations are far different from those
OF a half century ago. Then they came
from the illustrators mind and were con-
sequenty not real. Today we have exact
reproductions-mechan scientific repro
auctions This was brought about by our
growing development in realism. We want
things in picture, story or drama true to
lie.
THE nineteenth century shows a great
step forward in this way for the press.
The press has gotten down to facts News
papers have made a tremendous advance
ment toward realism. Nowadays they want
facts. our ideals have changed and our
Institutions have changed"
