lected and paid into the state treasury
Friday in the Senate.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 2S.-When the
long expected anti-pass bill was re-
ported back TO the senate yesterday
from the committee on railroads, there
was a majority and minority report
from the sub-body, which had not been
looked for AS the bill, S. B. Is, is
the product Of the committees eff
forts, it being responsible for its in
PRODUCTION, it was expected that the
stringent measure would have it's rec
ommendation to pass.
In the majority report the provisions
of the bill were rather extreme, as
previously indicated, and barred the
railroad commissioners from the use
Of free transportation. On the other
hand, the minority report permitted all
state officials, which includes members
of the boards of all state institutions,
railroad commissioners with their en-
ployes and necessary witnesses in mat
tiers pertaining to court trials.
Senator Simpson of Stark county
moved that both reports of the COM
mittee be printed, so that same could
be placed on the desks of the senators
for reading before any action was
taken. Considerable argument re-
suited an on vote the Simpson mo-
ton prevailed. While the debate
lasted Senator Martin, among others,
stated he had come to the legislature
this year for the purpose of voting
for the passage of an anti-pass bill,
but he wanted to know word for word
just what he was voting for. Others
endorsed this sentiment. Nearly all
speaking were for very strict law.
cashel Election Bill.
Considerably amended, the Cashel
election bill was brought out of the
committee with the recommendation
that it do pass. In drawing up the
bill, the senator from Walsh county
had provided for the doing away of
the square head at the top of election
ballots which denotes the party ticket.
The presumable object of this clause
in the bill was TO eliminate the voter

seen In Fargo some days ago
he had come here TO be treated by
DIR. Gates for grip and had entirely
recovered from that trouble. His
story refers to a trouble that dated
back to 1905, at which time he was
being treated for what the medical
doctors called Consumption. At the
time he came to Or. Gates In 1906
he had been sick a little over one
year. He was SO thin and weak
that 1t was only by the greatest
care he could get about at all. His
arm and leg were drawn out Of

for death.

Vital Science Makes Its Appeal to The intelligence Not
to The ReldrS Of Malkind-It is Positive force

He had been under the constant
care of a physician near his home
for six months, and one day asking
the doctor what allied him, or IL the
doctor knew what allied him, the
doctor said, well, I am not sure,
but I will give you a dose today
that will tell just what ails YOU"
He took the dose, but was so nearly
killed that he never took another.
He sent word to the doctor that he
was going to Minneapolis for treat
ment. The doctor told him to be
sure and go to some graduate Of a
regular school and be sure to
avoid 'Humbuggers." L will" said
Norman-and he did.
Arriving in Minneapolis he met
at the place where he was staying
an elderly gentleman who became
greatly interested in his case. He
told this man his mission in Min
neapolis and how the doctor had
told him to avoid "Humbuggers."
The old gentleman said, Then keep
away from the regular doctors, for
they will finish you. Go to DIR.
Melvin l.. Gates; / know him and
will guarantee that he can cure you.
I know OF many cases as bad that
have been completely restored by
him. / am so certain that l offer
to pay your bill for board and
lodging here If he does not do as
I claim"
To make a long story short, Mr..
Norman was induced to see DIR.
Gates and afterward began treat
ment. In one week he was on the
road TO health and in less than
three months he went back to his
home town and helped with the
harvest, doing as good and heavy
work as any other man in the crew.
This by a man who went to Min
neapolis a few weeks before with
a limb so drawn out of shape that
he could not use it. Mr., Norman
states that from that time to the
present, five years, he has never
had sign Of trouble. He also
went back and told the physician
that he had avoided 'Humbuggers"
This is no fanciful story or fanci-
full case. 1t is the absolute truth,
vouched for by reliable man and
by his reliable neighbors. ThatsMr.
Norman was so i'll he could have
lived but short time was mat
ter of common talk in his home
town; that he was cured and back
at work inside of three months is
also a matter OF common knowledge
among his neighbors; and finally,
if this should reach the eye of any
skeptic, that one is asked to write
to Mr.. Norman and get the story
straight from his own lips. Il is
a wonderful, an astonishing thing
TO cure disease in this form. but 1t
Is no more wonderful than the work
that is being done right here In
Fargo today by DR.. Melvin L. Gates.

House Routine Friday.

Bismarck, n. D., Jan 2S.-Outside of
the consideration Of II. b. As, designed
TO prevent unfair discrimination in the
purchase of grain and dairy products,
there was little out of the ordinary in
the lower house yesterday afternoon.
The bill, after lengthy discussion was
finally recommended by the committee
of the whole for passage.
The passage H. B. 80, providing for
the semi annual payment of taxes, was
brought about by vote Of Sc to 33, the
emergency clause thereby being lost.
This bill was introduced by Mr.. Christ
hanson of Walsh county.
Bills reported by the committee fol-
low:

printing.

from placing a cross at the top of the
ticket and giving him the opportunity
to vote for the individual candidates
by making a cross after the names Of
the parties TO be voted for.
The committee in amending the
CasheI bill, provides thar the square
shall remain but that in addition to
making a cross in the same the voter is
entitled to place a check after the
name Of any candidate on any other
ticket, which will be counted provided
tht no two candidates for the same
office are voted for. This also applies
to cases where there are several off,
Gals to be elected, such as railroad
commissioners. Should a voter wish
to vote for democratic candidate out
of compliment to a personal friend who
is running for that office, he is privi-
legged to do SO and a check after the
name of the one outside the regular
party preferred will be counted for
the candidate so indicated.
The amended Cashe1 bill was d.
rected TO be printed again and ordered
up for consideration at todays session.
Other Bills Reported.
A number of other bills were re-
ported back from committees. They
were S. B. %, by Pierce, which regu-
lates the use of streets by automo-
biles, traction engines and other self
propelled vehicles and for the regis
tration of same at the expense of the
owners, which was recommended to
pass; s. B. 81, from the committee on
municipal corporations, giving fees to
sheriffs for the collection of delinquent
property taxes; s. B. ss, by Elken, re-
lating to repairs of city sidewalks;
S. B. 81, also by Elken, providing for
the letting of contracts for sidewalks
in cities, which was slightly amended.
These were all from the committee on
municipal corporations, of which Sen
ator Kenpedy is chairman. The COM
mittee has been hard at work and the
number of bills it has reported back
is proof of that fact.
The committee on judiciary reported
back two bills, one by Senator Jacob
sen, providing for the fees in the Office
of the register of deeds, with the rec
ommendation that it do pass. The
other by Senator diversion, S. b. 10l,
pertaining TO the commencement and
place Of trial Of civil actions in justice
| court, was recommended for indefinite
postponement.

1t is said that the wise and witty
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes, dear
to the hearts of all Americans as
poet and physician, Autocrat of the
Breakfast Table, once remarked:
1T would be well for the world lie
all the medicine in 1t were dumped
into the sea-but--ir would be
mighty bad for the fishes" In this
witty manner the wise doctor ex-
pressed what then was heretical,
bur now an accepted fact; that the
healing of men by medicine is not
only impossible, but it is a prepos-
ferrous imposition to dose their poor
bodies with the vile and poisonous
connections that are often disgraced
by the term medicine
There has risen a generation in
America who refuse to be doped
into the hereafter-they are think
ing-thoughtful- reasoning--yes-a
doubling - generation - originating
largely-in the flip phrase of the
day-in missouri" They have to
be shown" and that is the test
that truth and right always well
come, for the man with no chickens
in the bag he is carrying on a dark
night never fears to have the bag
investigated. The present genera
ton is taking less medicine-and
less Of the lang rist,' as the Scotch
say.
Among the healing methods that
have forged steadily to the front
by sheer merit is that called Vital
Science, the science of life, applied
in a practical manner to the conser-
walton of life by the alienation and
amelioration of disease. That 1t has
been the part of Vital Science to
be largely used in the cure of fall
ures by other methods is circum-
stance rather than a necessity, but
the circumstance remains a fact
and Vital Science is doing more to-
~ for the elimination OF diseased
conditions and the application of a
correct philosophy than any other
force in Fargo.
The proof? Proof is plentiful and
growing beautifully more plentiful
every day by the remarkable sue
Fcess that is attending the work OF
DIR. Melvin L. Gates, whose Offices
in the Stern Building are the daily
mecca OF those who have exhausted
all other methods of cure, particu-
larly the dose route Here are
two recent instances of the truth
OF this statement:
First is the story of Mrs. w. Il.
Safe, the wife of a prosperous
farmer living near HARDWOOD, N. d.,
whose story is given herewith. Mrs.

Features of the Bill.
The bill provides that If in any ac-
ton pertaining to receivers and dis
tribution of property stipulated in the
section to be amended, it shall be adj
judged that a corporation has forfeited
it's corporate rights privileges and
franchises, judgment shall be rendered
that such corporation be excluded from
such corporate rights and be dissolved
The affairs of said corporation shall
be wound up by and under the direc-
tion of receiver TO be appointed by
the court, and its property sold and
converted into money.
The proceeds of such sale shall be
distributed, after paying the costs and
expenses, for the payment of taxes, the
payment of the legal and equitable
liens upon the property of such cor
poration in the order OF their priority,
the wages of laborers, and employees
accruing within six months previous to
the commencement Of the action, for
the payment of the other just debts
of the corporation, and the residue of
such moneys, If any, shall be distrib-
uted among the stockholders thereof.
When any corporation shall be adj
judged to have exercised a franchise
or privilege not conferred on 1t by
law, the court may in its discretion,
instead of rendering a judgment as
provided in the act, render Judgment
that such corporation be excluded from
exercising such franchises and privi-
leges and that the plaintiff recover
costs, and may also, in either case in
its discretion, fine such corporation in
a sum not exceeding $4,000 to be col-

No Adjournment Granted,
Another effort was made to take q
recess when adjournment was taken
last night to last until Tuesday. Sem
ator Duis, in making the motion, said
that there was not much work for the
senate to do in session, and a recess
would give the various committees of
the body an opportunity to catch up,
so that legislation could be carried on
without interruption until the final ad-
journment.
The motion was voted down, where
upon Senator Duis again moved that a
recess be taken until Monday after
noon. The chair voted the motion out
of order.

Some of the provisions of the bill
were strongly objected to on the
grounds that they were unconstitu-
tional. Only one radical change was
made, however, in the original bill, and
that related to making the district
court the court of original jurisdiction
instead of the county court, as had
been intended
A recess of fifteen minutes was talk
en- after the third reading Of the bill,
at the expiration of which time Lieu
tenant Governor Burdick resumed the
chair. Senator Pierce proposed the
cardinal amendment, which was
adopted as referred to above, Senator
Mcdowell also proposed another slight
change in section s, while senator
Simpson took exception TO certain
phases of the measure, though not OPP
posing the bill, on account of the leg
islative jurisdiction of the assembly
in relation to granting certain privil
eyes to the district courts.
Upon motion of Senator Pierce, the
bill was recommitted to the committee

BY far the greatest interest of the
day was held by the Duis Juvenile

sage. Senator Cashel occupied the

Eleventh Judicial District.

Senator Overson's bill, S. B. Is,
creating new judicial district to be
called the eleventh district, was
brought I'D for its third and final
reading. 1t was passed by vote of
Al to 0, five being absent and not vot-
ing.
The bill of Senator Welch, S. B. "a,
pertaining to the compulsory attend
ance at government school with refer
ence to the Indian school at Bismarck,
was carried by vote of As to 0.
The bill to provide for the establish
ment of breeding ground for game
birds was also brought up on final
reading, but met with a different fate
than the others. After some discus
sion, the bill was referred to the COM
mittee on fish and game. Several APP
peared skeptical about the measure, as
the bill provides that owners of land
on which the game reserve may be es-
tablished to hunt upon the premises.
1t was thought that this savored of
class legislation. The bill was in
troduced by Senator Pierce
Resolutions Adopted.
A concurrent resolution was intro
duced by Senator Gunderson which
provides that house and senate jour
