FAVORS A WCRKMEN'S
COMPENSATION ACT.

Minnesota is advancing to the front
as one of the greatest industrial, man
ufacturing and commercial states in
the Union AS such, it can never at
tain the greatest degree of prosperity
unless it's labor is efficient and intelli-
gent and receives at the hands of the
state such consideration as will secure
the most adequate protection. l rec
ommend the enactment OF work
mems compensation law, believing it
to be for the best interests of both en-
ployes ana employers as we'll as the
state at large.
Discussing the question of education
the governor points with pride to our
present institutions and recommends
the creation Of state board Of edu
cation. This board, he says, should be
non-partisan and the members should
be given six-year terms. The state in,
situations are complimented for their
good management and in referring toI
the state prison the governor cOmesI
out in opposition to capital punish
ment.
Discussing the subject of taxation
the governor says, all things consid-
cred, Minnesota under present laws
and administration, appears to be
making good in the direction of scien-
tific and just taxation, and he calls the,
attention of the legislature to the re-:
port of the tax commission.
On the question of reapportionment
he says: 'Of all the important ques-
lions to be decided by, the present leg
islature, that of reapportionment Will
be watched with the greatest interest
by the people of the state. In some
sections of Minnesota 10000 people
elect senator, and in other sections
it requires $4,000; In some sections S.
600 people elect representative and
in other sections 1t requires $1,000.
This should be remedied.

this week.
J. A Martin, of Rosston, was
in the city yesterday.
w. N. Mum, our representative
has introduced a bill in the legis-
lature to create a depositary law
for the public funds of Nevada
county. We have not seen the
bill but think thes right kind
of law along this line is alright.
There is no reason on earth why
the banks should have the use of
the county,s money without pay
ing a reasonable interest.
We are glad to report that the
little Bertha Neal who was
seriously hurt one day by play
ing cracking the whip, is getting
along as we'll as could be ex-
pected.

ride of one mile from his home to
Mt. Vernon. Edgar Henry this
morning shot and killed DR.. H.
H. Davis. and aged and respected
physician of Romance, fired sew
eral rifle shots into a school house
filled with terrified pupils, shot a
horse on which E. W. Day was
riding and fired several times at
Thomas Hogan, one ball striking
Hogan in the shoulder and in
f1icting a flesh wound.
Henry is supposed to have been
suddenly seized with homicidal
mania. For several days, it is
stated, his actions have been
peculiar. About 9 o'clock this
morning. securing a Winchester
rifle, he mounted a horse at his
home and rode wildly to Mt.
Vernon, firing at every person he
met.
His first shots were directed at
Thomas Hogan, at a gin, about
half way between Henry,s home
and Mt. Vernon. Three shots
were fired at Mr.. Hogan, one
grazing his shoulder, inficting a
slight flesh wound. The next
victim of Henry's murderous
mania was E. w. Day of Bristol,
who was sitting on his horse near
the gin. Mr.. Days horse was
shot from under him, but he was
uniujured.
Riding on toward Mt. Vernon,
Henry met within about 100 yards
DR.. Davis, who was riding in a
buggy. One bullet from the mad
mans gun instantly ended the
life of the aged physician. The
bullet passed directly through the
heart, entering at one arm, pene-
trating the entire body and the
other arm.
Reaching Mt. Vernon, Henry
stopped at the school house and
poured bullet after bullet through
the windows ofithe building, in
which were neatly 100 pupils.
Although frightened almost out
of their wits, none of the children
was injured by the fusillade of
shots.
Henry then rode to the public
square in front of the stores.

at them and they were forced to

Henry's father, J. S. Bud"O
Henry, had by this time heard of
his sons running amuck and,
riding at breakneck speed, over
took him and forced him to give
up his weapon, the son making
no resistance against his father.

1.-THE GIRL IN THE TAXI"

With a record of more than 1000
performances in New
York, Chicago and Boston as a rec
ommendation of it's great popular ap-
peal, "The Girl in the Taxi" that
laughable sensation of melody and
mirth comes to the Grand theater
next Sunday night, Oct. s, to enliven
the present theatrical season. The
piece is an adaptation from the origin
al German of Anthony Mars, by Stan
islaus STANCE, its vogue was made in
Berlin. where it was first produced
by the Emperor himself, he being i'm
moderately fond of the works of this
dramatist. In French guise it also
became the sensation of Paris on its
production there at the Palais Royal
Theatre The Mars comedy is said
to lend itself admirably to an Eng.
lish reduction and Mr.. STANCE has
preserved much of the smart dialogue
and brilliant epigrams, with all of
the good humor of the distinguished
German writer's.

PLAN TO RAISE CATS FOR FURs
E.. 8. Bonn and William e. Campbell
Are to Use Sand Island for Cat
Farm for Profit

The prospectus of what is to be
known as the Sand Island Cat farm,
company to be incorporated by f.
B. Benn, William f. Campbell and
others, is being prepared for publica-
ton by the incorporators. The plan
originated in the fertile brain of f.
b. Bonn, who has induced Campbell
to put in his Sand Island as the
breeding and raising ground, taking
stock in lieu thereof
Bonn says that the plan will be to
secure a pair of high bred Angora
cats. These will be placed on the
island and at the end of the first
year should multiply until there are
100 cats. The end of the second will
see an increase of 100000 and the
tArd year there should be 100000
cats. AS Angora cat hides are
worth 81 each for their furs, it is a
rosy future than one sees from the
prospectus.
The plan of feeding will not cost
the company cent as Sand Island
abounds with mice. clans, crabs and
hundreds of dead fish drift ashore
daily. The distance from the main
land makes the island a fine place
for a cat farm.

LIGHT NEEDED

ELMA, Oct. 4.-The farmers that
are making use of the city shelters
back of the city hall feel the need OF
an electric light at night. When they
come into town for lodge or on bust
it is dark many times before they
hitch up to go home. Any any one
who has tried it knows it is not easy
to hitch a horse in the dark. Also
some of the farmers have been los
ing whips and robes from the shell,
tiers, and in order to protect the prop
erty a light is needed. The stalls
are being made liberal use of every
day, and in the rainy season they
will come in mighty handy for the
rancher who is in town for a few
hours.
