house here, in which she had locked
herself, Mrs. H. o. Hayes, a money
order clerk, fell to the floor uncon-
scious just as the janitor of the
building climbed over the transom
and released her.
Mrs. Hayes, who is the oldest
member of the department in point
of service, had gone to the vault to
obtain some old papers, leaving the
key in the spring lock on the outside
of the door. The unsuspecting wo-
man had locked herself within the
vault and there was little chance that
her cries for help would be heard,
as the room is in an isolated portion
of the building, when the janitor,
making his last rounds in the corri-
dor, prior to locking the elevator
machinery for the night. heard her
muffied cries for assistance. He
found upon investigation that she
had nearly kicked out the panels Of
the heavy door.

that a small fine at each court was a
tacit admission that they could run
by paying the fine.
Following this decision and fresh
outbreak of disorder in which two
men were accidentally killed, a
woman committed suicide and man
attempted to kill himself, the minis
ers sent a committee to ask that
strenuous steps be taken not to reg

81. Paul.-The state immigration
commission has decided upon an in

mand which has existed for long
time. Hereafter the immigration ku.
reau will print monthly a list of me

inquiries to the commission regard

be sent to all county auditors. city
clerks and village recorders ia the
state and also to any Comm srcial
club that asks for them through it's
president and secretary. These lists
are to be kept on file for the use OF
any one who wants to sell Minnesota
land.
Ever since H. j. Maxfield became
immigration commissioner, he has
been studying the matter, trying to
devise some means by which real
estate agents and others can procure
the names that come to the commits.
sion.
Some Rejected Propositions.
One suggestion was to print the
lists monthly and send copies to all
real estate agents and others who
asked for them. Mr.. Maxfield thought,
however, that this might necessitate
the printing of 10000 or $4,000 lists
month, and that the expenses would
be too great for the departments APP
preparation. Another proposition was
to send the lists only to those who
would agree to use them only fox the
purpose of sending literature regard.
ing Minnesota land. The objection
agents for Canadian lands or lard in
the Western States would make use
of lists of prospects that Minnesota
had paid for Another objection was
that the real estate men would be
favored to the exclusion of farmers
who might want to sell land directly.
Real estate men who wish to copy
the entire list and circularize the pros.
poets may do so, while the man who
has just one farm to sell can pick out
a few names of possible purchasers
and write them personal letters.
Mr.. Maxfield was instructed also to
confer with the railroad officials with
a view to procuring homeseekers' ex.
cursion rates to Minnesota. 1t was
reported at the meeting that the Great
Northern will put in excursion rates
to points North and West of Sauk
Center and Benson after March /, and
efforts will be made to have the other
railroads make special rates. During
the last four or five years the home.

cut off.
