Odd Bill-Another Curious Feature
Perquistes-state Wide Primary

Reform School Investigation

st. Paul-The Legislative Commit
tee appointed to investigate the
charges made against the Red Wing
Reform School have finished their
task and will probably make their re
port in the near future. 1t matters
very little whether they sustain the
charges or not the concensus of opin-
ion is that ex-senator Stephens has
sustained his charges and that the in
VestigatiOn has disclosed a condition
OF things in this institution that is
no credit to the State of Minnesota.
The report will probably exonerate
the Superintendent from all blame
and sustain his management and at
the same time will declare his con
duct has been reprehensible and the
management unsatisfactory. The re
port will probably read something
like this: eve find everything $all
right at Red Wing, but don't do it
any more"
The real facts in the case are that
the managers of this School are twen-
ty-five years behind the times They
conscientiOusly administered the
school according to their ideas that
governed the management of such
institutions quarter Of century
ago and while the management of all
penal and semipenal institutions have
undergone a marvellous change since
that time and have made tremendous
strides along lines of humane ad-
vancement this Institution at Red
Wing not only has made no progress
but if anything has retrograded. The
entire management should be retired
from top to bottom and new deal
had and a management installed that
is up with modern ideas.

THE YOUNG BRIDES FIRST DIS
COVERY

THE YOUNG BRIDES FIRST DIS
COVERY
Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home to settle
down. to what they hoped to be one
long uninterrupted blissful honey
moon.
But alas! the young brides troubles
soon began, when she tried to reduce
the cost of living with cheap big can
baking powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was lot for her money, and it was
not all baking powder, for the bulk
Of it was cheap materials which had
no leavening power. Such powders
will not make light, wholesome food.
And because of the absence Of leaven-
ing gas, it requires from two or three
times as much to raise cakes or bis
cults as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus, eventually, the actual cost to
you, of cheap baking powders, is more
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave
the bread bleached and acid, some
times yellow and alkaline, and often
unpalatable. They are not always of
uniform strength and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet
perfectly wholesome baking powder,
moderate in price ,and always uni
form and reliable. Calumet keeps in
definitely, makes cooking easy, and
is certainly the most economical af-
ter all.

after the shots it seems as though
saw the revolver or the floor. The
last time | remember of having the
revolver it was five years ago when
the Curtises were here. Alfred Nor
row shot it off at that time | put
the revolver away at that time, and
it was not loaded at that time. /
have never kept it loaded.
Good progress has been made in
the trial. The state finished its direct
evidence in the case last week. The
testimony tended to show that Mrs.
Dodge told people who came to the
house Immediately after the shooting
that she and Heath We're alone in the
house at the time and all the doors
were locked, that Mrs. Dodge said
repeatedly that she knew she would
have to answer as it was her re-
volver and that it was impossible for
Mr.. Heath to have shot himself as
there were no powder marks about
his clotking.
The witnesses for the defence gave
testimony that tended to snow that
it was impossible for the bullet to
have taken the course it did if Mr..
Heath was standing and the person
firing the shot stood in the hall
door but did admit that it might
have been done If Mr.. Heath was in
a STOPPING position. One engineer
also gave testimony that tended to
show that the bullet might have been
fired from the bay WINDOW in the bed
room where Heath was killed.
1t is not known how soon the case
will be ended. The testimony may
be finished today and it may last
several days yet. 1t is expected
this case will be followed by the
trial of Arthur Bean, of Maidstone,
who is charged with shooting his
mother and sister in their home last
March.

Post Once Notes.

The Office was closed last Sun
day in the manner announced in
these columns last week and this
method will be carried out on sub
sequent Sundays. Our advertising
columns explain how any patron of
the Office may secure his mail on
Sundays and gives other interesting
information relative to Sunday clos
ing.
IN accordance with an order is
sued by the Department a 1ecord is
being taken of all the mail handled
at the Office during the month of
May. Every piece of mail that is
handled by the clerks and carriers
must be counted, classified and the
record sent to Washington at the
end of the month. The classification
is very minute, there being about 20
different classes. This count delays
the letter carriers in starting out on
their trips and it has also been nee
essary to curtail the delivery service
on Saturday afternoon as the carriers
are not allowed to work over As
hours a week. 1t is supposed that
this count is in the line of scientific
management and the order applies to
every Office in New England.
