 mems. Frank Leslie's produced only very few during the whole period of the war.
 August. 1880. Harper's--- This is the very first cartoon of Lincoln. The artist may have seen him two or three times but ho had had no time or abil- fly perhaps to catch the striking fea- lures which count 20 much in the work Of the cartoonist. He has en- dcavored to present the smoothly shaven features just about as he thought they were. without exag- geration. and the result is rather a better looking and younger man than Lincoln was.
 There is no attempt whatever at lampooning. The artist caught his idea from Blondin's great feat in walking tight rope over Niagara. The picture is called Lincoln is a la Blondin'. Lincoln, dressed in con- vcntional tights. is carrying a negro on his back. The Constitution is his balancing pole. Whatever may be said of it. none of the subsequent car toons were better in spirit and in point than this ono.

WOULD SPLIT REVENUE
Inheritance Bill Providing Split with
Counties Is Recommended.

st. Paul-The Pearson bill provid-
ing for $3.50 split of all inheritance
taxes with the county and the state
was reconsidered in the House taxes
and tax laws committee of the Mime
sofa legislature and after discussion
was recommended for passage.
Previously this bill was recommend
ed for indefinite postponement The
country members of the committee
again opposed the bill on the grounds
that all large estates are probated in
cities. despite the fact that in many
instances the wealth was actually ac-
CURED in the rural districts. Their
argument was that the bills provi-
sions gives urban counties a decided
advantage over the state and the
rural counties.
The three royalties tax bills intro
duced by Representative Welch, an.
other by Representative Bendixen and
third by Representative Moen, pro-
viding for royalty tax of 10, and 8
per cent, were laid over to give the
authors of the respective bills an op-
portunity to explain them to the
committee. The WEIGH and Bendixen
bills provide for a royalty tax on all
ore lands. The Moen bill goes far.
Their to include ores, GRANTEES, mar
bles and stone.

bitter fight between members of the

tute measure providing for one-man
administration and proponents of the

The first vote was taken on the mo-
ton of o. K. Dahle, who moved that
his measure be recommended for pas
sage. The motion was defeated, II
to 10. The motion to recommend the
agricultural committee bill followed
and was passed unanimously. The &C
ton taken means that the fight will be
transferred to the floor of the House.
They are determined to make an issue
Of the bill when it comes up for dis
cussion.
Representative w. I. Norton, one o;
the procession House committee men,
bers who drafted the first rural credits
bill, explained the amendments to that
bill. The amendment specifies that
the three appointees to administer the
act consist of an actual farmer, ex-
perienced in farm values, competent
attorney familiar with land titles, and
