From Thursdays Daily.

The elcquence of John Fl. Hob
mann, county commissioner of Blue
Earth county, backed by a number
of influential Minneapolis citizens,
carried the day at a|meeting of the
county commissioners night and
a resolution was passed authorizing
the state highway commission to
contribute $4,000 out of the funds
available for Hennepin county roads
to the proposed scenic highway be-
tween Bloomington bridge and Man
kato, says The Minneapolis Tribune
The request for $4,000 came
in the nature of surprise to the
commissioners, of whom Messrs.
Carlson, Chase, Cook and Waddell
were present, as they had expected
to pass on an appropriation of only
half that amount.
There was considerable discussion
over the matter, as the commission.
ers seemed reluctant to expend that
much money for a road that would
practically be outside of the county,
but it was shown by Mr.. Hohmann
that if all the counties interested
Hennepin, Blue Earth. Nicollet, lie
Sueur and Scott-raised their appro-
priations, the government would
double the amount originally prom
Used. The road as originally plan
ned would cost $4,000, but under
the new arrangement it will cost
, about $4,000, of which $4,000 will
tbe contributed by the government.
Although the new road will be
only approximately fifty miles long,
it was said by Mr. Hohmann that
tributary roads would increase this
fully 100 per cent. The argument
was offered that Minneapolis would
benefit by this length of roadway by
depending the nominal sum of only
$4,000, which would barely build a
mile of road inside the county.
{ Commissioner Waddell, left before
the resolution was passed, saying
he. would favor an appropriation OF
$4,000, but nothing above that. Those
Ewho voted in favor of it were Com
missioners Carlson, Cook and Chase.

measure, besides Mr. Holman.

D. JONES MAY RECOVER.

David Jones. who was hit by an
Omaha train Tuesday afternoon, was
not expected to live through last
night, but he is still alive today and
perhaps improving slightly. He was
rational this morning and talked to
his employer, C. W. Jessup. He has
not said how he came to be sitting
upon the railroad tracks or why he
fell back after he arose at the sound
of the engine whistle. Some think
that there is a slight chance for
his recovery, but if he does he will
probably be crippled for life

The municipal justice mill COM
menced operations this morning in
good order for the first of the month

PENDANT. Mr. Chittenden claimed that
he had gone to Mr.. Dolson's home on
Sunday, April 81, in compliance with
a request from Mr.. Dolson, who he
said had asked him to help plant
garden. He claimed that Mr.. DOlson
: had kicked him off the place without
provocation Mr., Dolson denied en-
| phatically that he had asked Mr..
Chittenden to his home, and said
that he had given him repeated or
iders to stay away entirely.
Il Cheap at the Price.
/ He admitted kicking the complain
/, ing witness off the premises, after
first ordering him to leave. The
court said that Mr. Dolson undoubt.
eddy had plenty of provocation, but
nevertheless, he had violated the law
and must therefore pay the costs OF
the prosecution. Mr. Dolson willing
ly paid the amount, and said that
the kick was cheap at that price

Dolson, "and do better job of il

City Attorney Arthur Schaub has
compiled the city and state ordi-
nances pertaining to automobile and
motorcycle driving which are being
most often violated and they are
published here These ordinances
should be read by all drivers of We
hicles and there will no longer be

whether moving or standing, be
faced in the right direction.
Motor vehicles include both auto

LouiSiana's Default.

In the New York Times Of April z
there is given ''an official explana-
ton" or q defense Of the State and
its public debt. This defense of the
State is by q Arm of brokers in New
York. Great stress is laid on the
failure OF the State to recognize and
validate what is generally denomi-
mated as '.baby bonds" or the bonds
issued illegally and fraudulently by
political alieus during the era Of re-
construction. The credit Of the State
can not be impeired seriously by de-
clining to recognize claims which
are irregular, il not fraudulent.
In referring to the "baby bonds"
the Financial Times Of New York
induises facetiously in the words
quoted: 1T will be observed that the
baby" bonds, authority to recognize
which the State government sought
last November, form only modest
part of the total. As this authority
was refused by 34,i40 votes to 1895
that payment may yet be hoped for
is somewhat Of a pious wish. New
ertheless, it is gratifying to know
that there are nearly $1,000 right
eous citizens in the State. Louisiana
may yet retrieve its credit"
Would the New York Financial
Times recognize as legal and pay the
face value ON demand of any indebt-
edness which is tainted or was Gre
ated and. obtained in q sense fraudu-
lently but under the guise of law
dominated by political aliens?

Mary, John, Marion and Irene Gran
than and Irene, Lille, Webb, Nora
and Fannie Mullernix. The physi-
clans have not determined the cause
of pellagra. When this disease was
given publicity in recent years it
was ascribed to the eating of corn
bread, but this theory was dispelled,
as was the declaration that only the
poor could be affected, but it would
seem that the wealthy are not ex-
empt. at least this is the version of
medical authorities.
