QUICK YORK BY sCHM4HL.


A supplement containing the laws
enacted at the recent session of the
Legislature is issued with this num-
Der of the Union. Secretary of State
Schmahl is entitled to unstinted
praise for his promptness in setting
the laws before the public, and had
it not been for delay caused by the
governor holding up the appropria-
tion bills the laws would have been
printed two days earlier.
Mr.. Schmahl attends to the duties
of his office in manner that some
other state officials would do well to
initiate.
. Save your law supplement and read
it at your leisure, and do not over
look the new road law.

Both branches Of the MINES

Both branches Of the Minnesota

after noon on the oath ult. The
ty-eighth session was productive
of much good and some fad legisla.
tion. There were conscientious,
hard working men in the house and
senate who labored assiduously tc
secure the enactment of legislation
that. in their Judgment, would prove
beneficial to the best interests OF
the state, and they were in measure
successful. There were other legis.
lators who were continually "playine

of ''making record" for future polit.
ical reference. On the whole the
record of the thirty eighth session
will compare favorably with that
of any previous session in the history

Henceforth, to the outer world, they
will have the appearance Of working
together as smoothly as well-brolen

the reconciliation between the two
savored more of politeness than it

between Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Clark

Hon. Henry Rines made good as
speaker of the Minnesota house OF
representatives. From the opening
day of the session he had the conf.
dence and esteem of the members.
He was quick to decide a point and
absolutely fair in all his rulings. In
marked contrast to the treatment
accorded Speaker Dunn two years
ago, the "opposition'' made nc
trouble for Mr.. Rines. AS the 'ses.
sion progressed, and it was plainly
evident that Mr.. Rines intended tc
give every member ''square deal,' -
his popularity increased and at the
close all were his friends. Without
an effort on his part Mr.. Rines' ad.
mirers, within and without the ]egis-
lature, have made him candidate
for the Office of state auditor, and
they intend to elect him. By virtue
of his long service as county auditor
and his large legislative experience,
Mr.. Rines is peculiarly we'll qualified
for the state authorship.

Saved by a Dog.

''Curly," pet shepherd dog owned
by J. F. O'Brien, 5040 Hiawatha
avenue, Minneapolis, saved five
people from probable death early on
Monday morning. Mr. and Mrs.
O'Brien and their three children
were sleeping on the second, floor of
their home. O'Brien was awakened
by Juggling at his hand. He found
the covers pulled from the bed and
the dog painting and gripping his
fingers. He jumped out of bed and,
calling his wife, they seized their
children and hurried downstairs.
Through the smoke the dog rushed
to the front door and the family fol-
lowed. Exit was cut, off by flames
that blazed through the floor. Back
into the, dining room the dog: and
family ran, and "Curly' sprang at a
window. O'Brien threwlup the sash,
s1eaped out and lifted his wife and
children to the ground. -"Curly''
stood aside until the family was safe
and with a bark leaped to the
window and to the ground
"Curly'' is certainly entitled to a
gold medal for his heroic work.
