June Sessions Next Week.

Thursday and Friday of next week
are the two days in which the June
meeting Of the Northern Minnesota
Development association will be held
in International Falls. Ten delegates
have been elected from the southern
part of Beltrami county and it is
probable that full delegation will
attend. ~
Matterss Of importance to North
ern Minnesota will BE discussed at
this meeting and theyolume Of bus
iness has grown to be so large that
no outside speakers have been invit-
ed tos address the delegates. Some
time ago, the standing ee.nmittees
met in Cass Lake and outlined pro-
gram for discussion. - -.
One of the most important matters
which, will come before the meeting
will be the plan of campaign to get
the voters of the state to pass the
Dunn good roads amendment to the
constitution. If reapportionment is
not passed at once by the legislature,
plans will be laid to have it passed
at the next regular session,

Goddard Badly Injured.

Red Lake Agency, June 12-(Spec-
ial l)-Arthur Goddard was taken to
the hospital in Bemidji yesterday, by
Agent Dickens and Doctor Janney,
suffering with a broken ankle and
strained ligaments. Goddard was
struck by a motor cycle last week.
He was standing in group and was
unable to get out of the way of the
machine which struck him in the
side and then passed over his feet.
Goddard will probably be confined
in the hospital for sixty days and the
accident was of such a nature that
he may be deprived of the use Of his
foot for a longer period. Mr.. God
dard is engineer at the Indian school.

Lende Replies to. Eberhart.

St. Paul, June 12...-Special Pio-
neer wire service. Senator Lende of
Lyon county today replied to the
message of Governor Eberhart read
yesterday to the senate. Senator
Lende said that he regarded the COM
munication as undignified and of such
a nature as should not have emanated
from the governors office.
Senator Lende stated that he would
not press his resolution calling on the
governor to submit his recess ap-
pointments as the governor had
stated in his message that the list
would be submitted and the resolu-
tion had served it's purpose.
Nothing was done on reapportion-
ment today.

EbERHART WHIPS SENATE
Sends Message Saying Combine
Evades Duty in Not Passing Re-
Apportionnet.
GREETED WITH LAUGHTER

st. Paul, June 21.-Peals of laugh
ter greeted the reading of the special
message of Governor Eberhart to the
state senate yesterday afternoon. The
scene was without parallel in the his
tory of the state. Not word was
spoken when the reading was fin
ished. No one applauded. The SEN
ate just laughed.
The governors pretext for the mes.
sage was the resolution offered last
week by Senator o. A. Lende of Can
by, not yet acted on by the senate,
requesting the governor to send in
his list Of recess appointments for
confirmation. AS these appointments
include the name of j. w. Nash Of
Minneapolis, surveyor general of
logs and lumber, whom the senate
failed to confirm at the regular ses-
sion, the Lende resolution pressaged
clash. Senator Lende has not
moved the adoption of the resolution,
but says he will do SO tomorrow.
The message says that the resolu-
tion is simply an effort to occupy val
liable time Of the senate in useless
controversies over political patron
age rather than consideration of the
constitutional rights of the people.
It says that the movement to defeat
reapportionment there is a repudia-
tion of the express pledges made to
the people.
It was suggested yesterday that a
state meeting of progressive Republic
cans be held at once in order to pick
an opponent to Eberhart that will
get the united support of that ele-
ment of the party, as it looks now as
though the force of the opposition
would be wasted.

Chicago, June 12.-The Taft ma
jority on the national Republican
committee yesterday credited the four
delegates at large from Kentucky
and the six delegates from the First,
Second, Fourth and Seventh districts
to Taft. In the case of the dele
gates at large there was a bitter
fight, the Roosevelt men charging
that the delegates had been deliber-
ately stolen from Roosevelt as the
result of conspiracy on the part of
the Taft men. On this contest the
vote stood 3S to II.
Kentucky Cases Called.
The case of Kentucky's four con-
tested delegates-at-large was the first
called.
The Kentucky Roosevelt contest
ants for the places CT delegates-at-
large were anly two il number. al
though the state is entitled to four
seats at large in the national con-
ventton, The Taft faction had named
complete set of delegates but the
names Of E. c. O'Rear and Leslie
Combs were all that appeared on the
roll as Roosevelt contestants.
Within three hours after he ar
rived in Chicago, William Barnes, Jr.,
chairman of the Republican state
committee of New York, had been
precipitated into the center of the
stage. He had been commissioned
by the Taft forces to defeat Roosevelt.
That is his only task and he can use
any method that he desires to attain
that result, even though the ultimate
outcome should be the abandonment
of President Taft as candidate for
denomination. Barnes is only re-
cent Taft advocate. Until Roosevelt
lOOmed as an active candidate,
Barnes favored the turning down of
the president for the nomination as
he insisted that he would not prove
the strongest candidate. But now
Barnes is for Taft and will be for him
as long as there is chance of nom-
mating him and the Taft men were
certain today that thcy would con-
troll the convention, nominate the
president and dictate it's platform.
Yesterday Barnes devoted all his
energies to forming a concrete anti
Roosevelt organization which will be
effective as a weapon of defense as
well as offense. He conferred Sc
cretly with all members Of the Taft
steering committee, although he care
fully kept away from the Mckinley
headquarters in the early part of
the day.

Blind Spot in Every Eye.
From the Christian Herald.

from tne christian Herald.
In every eye there is little spot that
is totally blind. Young eyes. old eyes.
sharp eyes, dull eyes. blue, brown, or
black eyes-all of them. even the most
perfect. have. in each retina. little round
spot which is wholly blind both to bright
ness and color. This spot is located just
at the point where the optic nerve en-
tiers. and is approximately one-twelfth OF
an inch wide. Several interesting expert
ments can be made to prove the presence
the right eye with the hand, or a hand
age. and gaze with the left eye steadily
at a point on the wall or screen about
seven feet distant. Let another person be
seated against the wall on your left hand
side in such a position that his forehead
Is on a level with the point at which you
are gazing, and his nearer cheek about
twenty inches distant from it. Do not
turn your eyeball, but gaze steadily as at
first. and his face will entirely disappear
and the wall will seem to be perfectly
blank. If you spread a sheet of paper
on the wall and note the points at which
a pencil moved back and forth by an
other person appears and disappears, you
will be able to make an accurate map OF
the blind spot as projected on the wall.
Another experiment is performed by
painting nine large letters in three YER
teal columns of three letters each, upon
a sheet of paper. Hold the paper at
such a distance and in such position
before the eye that the central letter Of
the square falls within the blind spot.
while the surrounding eight letters are
still visible.
