The senate voted TO place the party

republicans and the small democrat

waited long for their evening meals
yesterday, while their wives waited in
the galleries OF the house the out
come of the bill which seeks to give
them the right of municipal suffrage

The galleries were crowded when
il was known that the bill would
come up at 4:30, and while it was
apparent that the house would give
the bill a majority, the women hoped
for a two-thirds vote to prevent it
being carried to the referendum.
The open charge was made by Biel-

such as came from the liquor inter

be covered under any other excuse"

there was no question that the liquor

ing talks against the bill. in which
he resented the charge that the Ii
quor interests had anything to do
with his position on the measure or
any of the others, so far as he had
any knowledge. He based his oppo-
sition principally upon the grounds
of unconstitutionality of any such
act.

emergency, securing ifty-nine votes,

At meeting of the city council
held Monday evening they acted
upon the proposition Of electing a
bandmaster in the place of Mr..
Chas. Grinder, who resigned because
his time was required in attending to
his duties as register of deeds.
Mr.. Grinder has proven himself
one of the most capable leaders that
the band has had, and the members
regret very much that he found it
necessary to severe his connection
with them.
Mr.. Crockett, the new leader, is a
musician Of no small ability and has
had great deal of experience in di-
recting work of a number Of the lead
ing musical organizations in the twin
cities. He has also been leader in
some of the crack army bands Of the

increase its membership and to make
it the best organization of its kind
in this part of the state.

DIR. WATTAM ADDRESSES
LADIES' READING CIRCLE

The subject studied at the last
meeting of the Ladies Reading Cir
Gle was "Public Health" The lead
er, Mrs. A. L. Robinson, presented a
very carefully prepared program and
distributed leaflets sent by DR.. Hill
Of the State Public Health Associa-
ton, containing information in re-
gard to tuberculosis and sanatorium
work, but the most interesting feat
ure Of che program was. a talk given
by DR.. Wattam on The Open Air
Schools These schools are main
tanned for the benefit of tubercular
children. The doctor gave a very
entertaining and instructive account
of the origin, history and scope Of
these schools and showed several pic
lures Of the schools. the children
who attend them, both in this coun-
try and in Europe, the uniforms they
wear and many interesting details.
The children in Switzerland become
50 hardened they are able to play out
Of doors, even in the winter with
snow on the ground, in practically a
naked condition. The doctor spoke
of the benefit one of these schools
would be in connection with the
sanatoriums and made the statement
that if they were more generally
maintained, seventy-five per cent of
tuberculosis would disappear in fif-
teen years.
The children are properly fed and
clothed and are taught rules of
health by means Of lectures and ply
sioal training, they also keep up their
grades when dismissed from the op-
en- air school cured Of tuberculosis.
DR.. Wattam gave his lecture in a
very pleasing and earnest manner
and we hope he will find time to
address US again.
