call a halt. And that reminded him
what a hard struggle he had in the
last legislature to get measly half a
million for the state historical build
ing. He believes taxes ought to be re-
duced. The one contribution he has
made to the problem personally was
to spend half million more.
That is what all of you are doing.
The efficiency commissions plan
won't stop that. The right of petition
remains. Human desires are not to be
abolished. But the budget plans pro-
posed by the efficiency commission
will enable the legislature to keep
track of itself. The legislature will
know what it is doing and can keep
within bounds. And if the legislature
does get reckless, there will be con-
trolling figures in the governors
office. And if the governor would
carry out the pledges that every can
didate for governor must make he will
warn the legislature that if it gets
too far from the guiU:ng figures there
will be set of vetoes, hand made and
self sharpening.
The budget is not automatic econ
omy. But it points the way to econ
Omy.

LOVE; JEALOUSY, MURDER
John Nasaak Shoots Mrs. Laura
Zehn and then Ends His Life.
Minneapolis Tragedy.

Minneapolis, July Mrs. Laura
Zehn, twenty years old, a domestic,
was shot and killed instantly at the
home of O. /. Holton. The shot was
fired by man the police believe was
John Nasaak. He also shot himself
and died before he reached the City
hospital.
In company with her friend, Alma
Mykdzush, Mrs. Zehn went to the
circus and returned to the Holton
home. Her friend telephoned for her
brother, Lewis Mykdzush, to come to
the Holton home and take her to her
home.
Just as the two le,s the servants
entrance of the Holton home Nasaak
appeared out of the shrubbery, BRAN
dishing a pistol. Neighbors saw him
approach Mrs. Zehn, who still was
standing at the servants entry.
Before they could give warning he
fired two shots, both of them taking
effect. The fatal shot struck Mrs.
Zehn in the right breast.
The assailant then turned his pistol
upon himself and fell at the feet of
the woman.
AS far as could be learned the
shooting was the climax of an unre-
Quilted love affair.

A HIGH WATER STORY
Flood in July 1867 Makes Prairies Be-
tween Sank Centre and St.
Cloud Navigable

"Uncle John" Coates, alter consult
ing with some of his comrades of the
pioneer days, has decided that the big
freshet, which played such havoac
with the work of the rivermen, came
in 1867 instead of 1865, says Fridays
st. Cloud Journal Press. 1t followed
a period of excessive rain which last
ed through the whole spring and we'll
into the summer, until the flood
reached its climax on July 9Th.
That particular flood seems to have
been unusually benignant. Besides its
philanthropic work in behalf of Mr..
Hayward's logging project, it built
temporary waterway between st.
Cloud and Sank Centre straight ac-
cross the prairies. Mr.. Coates, in
support of his contention, relates the
complete adventures of Alexander
Moore of Sank Centre, who found that
his proposed horseback trip to st.
Cloud was blocked by sheet of water
which came up out of Sank river and
stationed itself in his front yard.
There was but one way out of the
difficulty and Mr.. Moore adopted it
without hesitation. He launched his
rowboat from the front porch and
found no difficulty in negotiating the
forty-odd miles to St. Cloud.
1t is perhaps proper to mention, in
this connection, the fact that the bed
of Sank river formerly lay across
what is now dry land, entered Lake
George from the west side and flowed
on through the ravine. This. little
side-light on the story is at least
interesting, if not enlightening.

OIL TREATMENT FOR :.
STOMACH TROUBLES

A simple prescription made up OF
a combination of pure vegetable oils
is producing wonderful results for
sufferers of stomach, liver and intes-
final troubles. The remedy, which is
said to have originated in France,
where it has been used for years by
the peasantry, was introduced into
this country by George H. Mayr, a
leading Chicago druggist, who cured
himself of severe stomach, liver and
intestinal troubles by its use. Those
who have used it say the first dose is
sufficient to convince anyone of its
remarkable merit, and that within
tweney-four hours the sufferer feels
like a new person. This medicine,
which has become known as Mayr's
Wonderful Stomach Remedy, is now
sold by first class druggists every
rhere. 1t is now sold here by Hanson
& Emerson. adv

DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN
PugnaciOus Dan Lawler Swings Into
Line and Everything Lovely
SOrter Heads Committee.

st. Paul, July 4.-Peace was appar-
emily restored between the democrat
ic factions at today's meeting at the
new democratic state central commit
tee in the senate chamber at the cap
itol when A. L. Sorter of Minneapolis
was elected state chairman and Dan
W. Lawler came with the intention OF
making concilatory speech.
Mr.. Lawler said he had come at the
request of w. S. Hammond, candidate
for governor, and that he, would speak
if called upon.
Four of the men whom Mr.. Lawler
declared should not be appointed on
the executive committee were placed
upon it today. They are Martin
OBrien OF Crookston, vice chairman;
D. D. DAILY, Minneapolis; R. w. Har-
gadine, st. Paul, and Senator T. E.
Eastman, Owatonna. The other mem
bers of the executive committee are
Fred 2. Wheaton, Minneapolis; Sam
uel D. Works, st. Paul; Charles Hell
wig, Fulda; Peter H. Nelson, Red
Wing; B. J. Farrell, Duluth; B. B.
Gislason, Minneota, and Fred Schil-
plin.
Mr.. Sorter. the new state chairman,
is real estate and insurance man,
has made campaign speeches but has
never been a candidate for office.
Calling w. S. Hammond the finest
gentleman and the greatest democrat
in the state, Mr.. Lawler spoke direct
ly after the nominees had finished. He
said:
"The new chairman, Mr.. Sorter, is
a man whose mind and heart are
broad enough to embrace every dem
ocrat in the state, one who has his
own backbone, and who will recognize
his fellow democrats not only when
the fight is on, but when the victory is
won. The democracy of Minnesota
stands today united as we have never
been before, and at the head of the
advancing columns is the finest gen.
tleman and greatest democrat in the
state Minnesota WinmrreI Scott
Hammond.
"The campaign this fall will be
fought largely on national issues. In
the name of seventeen out of every
of the rock-ribbed democratic counties
of Minnesota, l promise you the
democratic hosts will not be divided,
and | believe the victory is certain. -
The new state committee was clos
eted with Mr.. Hammond this after
noon at the St. Paul Hotel. Mr.. Ham
mond will leave for Washington to-
morrow to remain probably two
months.

st. Paul, July 6.-Before the state

it is now, when in fact one brave old

and trivial appropriation, the fed

met young man very red in the face

would have been lost if he had gone a
hundred feet from the trail.
"Is that fire over there?"

"Well, I'm in the state service.
Our instructions are to put out the
fire and investigate to see who set it..
If you will go and put it out I'll go
the other way and see if can find
out who is to blame"
In the present contingency when
the state is burning money, the eff
cheney commission is not especially
trying to find out who is to blame. 1t
is giving it's energies rather to max
ing fire breaks.
But if you must know who is to
blame
You are.

highly laudable object?
Which of you is not supporting
some candidate on the strength of his
promise to get something for your
district or to have the state do more
in some direction in which you are in
terested?
Which of you ever worked for a
reduction of, appropriation?
Which of you ever went to st. Paul
to lobby for lower expenses?
A prominent citizen of st. Paul, at
the state capitol, this morning, was
deploring the rapid increase in state
expenses. He declared it was time to

SO,OOO men AFFECTED
Railway Employees of Sixty-Seven
Western Railroads to Demand
Shorter Working Day.

Minneapolis, July 8.-Railway en-
ployees numbering $4,000 and cover
ing all lines in the operating depart
ments of sixty-seven western rail-
roads may become involved in the
demand of the enginemen for an g.
hour day, according to advices receiv-
ed from Chicago today. A vote au-
thorizing the union officials to call a
strike has already been taken by the
enginemen, and one will be ordered
by heads of the unions of trainmen,
freight handlers and warehouse men,
railway clerks, engineers, mainten-'
,ance of way men, oilers and engine
wipers.
All the roads running out of Mime
apolis are involved, but the local rail-
road officials said today that they had
heard of no demand for the eight
hour day and no talk of strike from
any employees except the enginemen.
The proposition Toy a strike vote,
Chicago dispatches say, provides for
delivery of an ultimatum to the rail-
roads not later that July Ia, declar-
ing that the strike will follow immed-
lately unless the eight-hour day is
granted without reduction in pay
from the present ten-hour basis. The
conference Of union heads took place
today in the office of Lawrence Cur
ran, international president of the
freight handlers.
Should the other unions join the en-
ginemen in their demand and strike,
the employees would try to effect a
complete tie-up Of the sixty-seven
roads west of Chicago.
