Scott Relics at Abbotsford.


The present estate of AbbotsfOrd was
formed during the years 1911 to 1917
from various small farms, the first
one purchased bearing the tinharmo-
NOUS designation CLARITY Hole. After
Sir Walter Scott's death in 1884 COM
mittee Of friends collected $4,000 to-
ward the redemption Of the estate, and
Mr.. Cadet, the publisher, contributed
the rest on receiving the rights over
Scott's works. The library and mu-
scum had been given some years be-
fore by the creditors. AS his son,
Lieutenant Colonel W. Scott, died on
his way home from India, the prop
erty descended to J. r. Lockhart, his
son-in-law, and thence to his daugh-
ter's husband, ]. r. Hope-Scott, whose
daughter held the estate for some
years. Many Scott relics are preserv-
ed in the house, notably his chair and
writing table in the study and his hat
and gloves in the hall.-LOndon Stand

Hard For the Eskin1os

What "Garbler" Once Meant.

"Garble," ''garbIed,' "garbler," are
words which nowadays convey quite
different meaning from that which
was formerly accepted. "Garble' orig
inally slgnitied simply Ito select for a
purpose" At one time there was an
officer, termed 1.-The garbler of Spices"
whose duty it was to visit the shops
and examine the spices. ordering the
destruction Of all impure goods. His
duties were similar to those of the in.
spector Of the modern health depart
ment, who forbids the sale of decayed
vegetables or tainted meat. The word
comes from root meaning Ito sift."
The impurities sifted out have in the
course of generations corrupted the
term till "garbled report is no long
er report wherefrom all uncertainty
has been removed but one that is full
of Misrepresentation and made mis-
leading with deliberate intent.

THE FlRSTrDANGER SIGNAL.

At the very first joint meeting o.
the senate and house committees
which are to steer to the governor:
hand a redistricting measure, clashe:
occurred and some of the dangers con
fronting the enactment of such {
bill doomed up.
These things were favored by thu
committee:
The number of senators should
not exceed sixty-threes and the
nu m Der of representatives
should not exceed 1926.
Counties should not be divid-
ed in tn formation of senatorial
districts save where conditions
compel it, such as population.in
the case of Ramsey, St. Louis
and Hennepin counties, and
where one city is in two or more
counties, such as st. Cloud in
Stearns, Benton and Sherburne.
Inasmuch as each part of the
state is more familiar. with it's
local conditions than remote
parts, it is suggested that when
the approximate number of SEN
ators and representatives to
which any group of counties
may be entitled is Tentatively or
otherwise determined, each such
group shall suggest to the chair
man. of. the. reapportionment
committee in the Senate and
House it's preference in the form
alton of districts in such group.
1t is further suggested that in
grouping counties as aforesaid
the counties in each congression-
al district, so far as practicable,
shall be grouped together.
1t is, therefore, quickly apparent
that any effort to reduce the number
of senators will meet will prompt anG
violent opposition, and that would
not auger we'll for the issue for which
Northern Minnesota has been calling
for so loudly.
Of course this does not mean thai
the tangle cannot be Strengthened
but it does show that there is rea
opposition to an enlargement of thu
north states representation at thu
expense of the southern part of thu
commonwealth.
A still more significant feature O.
this first meeting was the quicl
notice served on the cities by tn,
country members that they would Op
pose increased representation for tn
Twin Cities and Duluth, on the pie;
that to do so would, in the near fu
ture, place the control of the legis
lature in the hands Of the represen
tation. Without the support Of tn,

GERMAN DAY FESTIVAL
WINDS UP WITH DANCE.
Rain MARRIED Outdoor Games,
but Didn't Dampen JOllity.

With a program of vocal and in
-strumental music, topped off by
a dance, the two-day German Day
festival was brought to a close in
Wevers's Colosseum last night, marred
much by the rain.
Professor Won der Heide's orchestra
played the concert numbers, several
of the singing societies sang the
choruses and Professor Krlmke's band
marked the time for the devotees of
the dance.
Outdoor spectacles and games were
out of the question, much to h dis
appointment of the crowd n the
members of the Badische Liedertafel
and the Plattdeutseher Verein, who
had prepared merry skits for presen-
tation in the park.
Bowling proved to be most popular
and many a good score went on rec
ord.
George Hoerig, the president of the
festival, received the prominent mem
bers. and guests as he had done on the
day before and among those there were
Christian w. F%eigenspah, #. Albert
Hahn, August Schumacher, Otto
Traudt. Henry Werpupp. William
Scnmaudef, Cndrles bduuistei anu ~
and county officials.
With President Hoerig on the com
mites OF arrangements that worked
against such adverse conditions on the
second day were Herman J..

and George Grlmme, head of the Ger
man-American Central Society, d
whose auspices the festival was held.

From what the good. citizens of this

not be a surprise to learn that he will
have cards printed with the above read

that has been assigned to his honor the
Mayor is so Sherlockholmein that even
the great English detective would have
hesitated in undertaking it. The Mayor
is in receipt of a communication today

KILLED HIMSELF
AFTER ADMITTING
He PAID F|REBUG
Chicago Merchants Suicide
Sequel to Confession of In.
surance Conspiracy.

CHICAGO, June 6.-Leopold Dreyfus,
of the firm Of L. Dreyfus g. Co., COM
mitted suicide today. after having con-
fessed, the police declare, that he was
a party to the burning of his place of
business in Market street last Saturday
afternoon.
The confession, according to the po-
lice, may throw light on other fires in
the downtown district, and is regarded
by the officials as evidence of the ex-
istence of an organized band of incen-
diaries, who, for a stipulated price,
offer to set fire to business houses.
The confession in substance, the po-
lice say, was that two men approached
Dreyfus n his brother about a week
ago n offered to burn their estab-
lishment for $1,000. Dreyfus is declared
to ave agreed to pay $1,000, and to
have paid down $500. The value of the
property was $4,000 Dreyfus and his
brother were arrested yesterday.
After the confession Leopold Drey-
fus was permitted to go home in Gus
tody of a policeman. While in another
room today he shot himself through
the head and died almost instantly.

Mr.. Bannwart of the Shade
Trees Trains Him Not
to Bite.

"Bezzzzzzzz, Bezzzzzzzzzz," and once
again "Be-zzzzzzzzzz."
What is 1t and where does it come
from?
The third floor of the City Hal was
full of that Bezzzzzzzzzz sound and the
people on the third floor of the City
Hall could not understand what all the
bezzzzzzzzzing was about. Most every
one knew that the seventeen-year
locusts are on the job in and around
Newark, but no one could understand
what a se~venteen-year old locust could
or would want in the City Hall, but on
investigation it was discovered that the
seventeenth day old locust really and
truly was responsible for the bezzzzzz-
ing and that the DISCRIMINATING came
from no other place than the Shade
Tree Commissions rooms.
A reporter happened along the cor
ridor smoking his pipe. When he heard
the buzzing he pulled out a couple of
pipe-cleaners. but after the operation
the buzzing still peeezzzued. .
What. can it be?" asked the reporter
silently. Then he thought. TIL go IN
and see my friend, Carl Bannwart;
he'll know
Sure enough, the minute he got into
the office he noticed that seventeen
