Injunction yesterday forbidding re-
moval of the assets of the corpora
ton from the Prince Georges
Bank, a group Of stockholders of

corporation, and directing him to
turn over the assets to the di-
rectorS.

NEW TWO.FAMILY
HOUSES:

A very interesting plan has
been carried out in these new
houses Of Waple and James.
It is the idea of building home
for two families, with complete
privacy, where they can live
comfortably and at the same
time economically. The houses
are of brick and of the row
type, yet each house is individ-
ually distinct. For the bride who
wants her own apartment, yet
hesitateS to leave mother, this
would be the answer to her
problem. Priced within the
reach of most all of us, I earn
estly solicit your inspection.

LOVELY HOUSE IN OLD SEC
TION OF EDGEMOOR, Md:
If freedom, plenty of space
and quietness are essential to
you in your quest for a home,
you will do well to inspect this
house before making a final
decision. If you know Edge
moor, you will not have to be
told what a splendid place it
is to live in, especially the old
section, for there are many
lovely old homes surrounded by
gnarled old shade trees, shrub
berry and well-kept gardens.
This particular house is set in
the center Of a large lot md is
extremely attractive. There is
a bedroom for each member of
the average-size family (four in
alb and two large baths, beauti-
fully appointed. This home is
in new-house condition and can
be purchased with a small cash
payment and $65 a month. II

we had there as long as we
live, so here is semi-detached

The stock market recaptured its
boom spirit today on the bullish
statement by Mariner S. Eccles,

His declaration that the Reserve
had no intention of putting the
brakes on the boom brought a
wave of buying which sent lead

and recovered virtually the ground
lost in yesterdays drastic shake

Many new highs for the year
were registered in the rush to buy

Rails led throughout, wi n
Union Pacific up nearly 4 points

Bethlehem rising more than a
point.
Industrials were buoyant, particu-
larly issues like Westinghouse and
Johns Manville, where gains ran
to two points and more. Utilities
forged ahead.
Motor shares improved. Auburn

The house is a reconditioned one
having been built a few years
back and consists of six rooms,
bath and a fair-size yard.
Schools, stores and churches
are within walking distance, as
well as all kinds of tranSporta-

At that price we cannot afford
to overlook it.
A BUNGALOW IN THE
DISTRICT
A little white bungalow
perched high on the side Of q

development is bringing the question to
an immediate issue.
The Minnesota Conservation Com
mission, in resolution, delegated the
commissioner and secretary Of the COM
mission to cooperate with the attorney
generals office in opposing this water
power development at the Washington
hearing. It was pointed out that water
power development in the border lakes
region should be postponed at least
until "such time as greater economic
necessity is shown"
Value of the border lakes region from
the recreational angle was stressed by
the commission. AS most Of the lands
adjacent and tributary to the Pigeon
River are located within the Grand
Portage State forest and the Superior
National forest and are now or probably
will be publicly owned in the near
future, sit may be well that the best
public interests will be served by public
rather than by private water power de-
velopment,' says the resolution.
A public hearing on the question was
held by the commission in Duluth
January 4 and S at which time pro-
ponents of the lumber company's pro-
posal were heard.

Changes Made in EIys
County Official Personnel,

Frank Schweiger succeeds Frank

Nick Nelson was made superintendent
of maintenance division No. 8, Tower,
succeeding ChaS. A. johnson. Other
changes in the county warehouse also

VIII Employ 1900.

Jobs for approximately $4,000 men will
be provided on Minnesota highways If
the state matches federal aid offered
for this year and next, according TO NJ
w. Elsberg, highway commissioner.
eff revenues of the highway depart
ment are restored to the 1882 level"
said Commissioner Elsberg, Minnesota
will be able to obtain nearly $1,000, 900
offered us by the Federal government
for road construction and llnemploy-
ment relief.
That would mean jobs for $4,000 or
more Minnesota working men, and the
circulation of $14,0O0,OO0 in Minnesota
business and trade channels If Min
nesota does not match the federal aid.
the $4,000 men will have to be provided
for by relief or other expenditures
THE charge has been made that
political favoritism will be shown by the
highway department in employing men
under such a construction program
This is entirely unfounded. On all pro-
jectS financed with federal highway
funds, the hiring of men is in the hands
of the National Unemployment Service,
a federal agency over which the state
has no control
Members of the legislature will
search a long time before they can
find better bargain for the taxpayers
than this opportunity to get two dollars
worth of road construction and en-
ployment for every dollar advanced by
the state"

educational support as has Minnesota.
Liquor Taxes.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that another new source of
revenue provided by the Legislature OF
1888, the liquor tax, produced $2,562,
0746l in 1884 up to December LIST. All
Of the proceeds of the liquor tax goes
for relief.
IF the state must provide $12, OO0, OOC
for relief the coming year, and pre-
sumably comparable amount for 1896
as has been indicated, the proceeds OF
the liquor tax will be earmarked foi
some years to come to care for the
borrowings that will be necessary fol
relief.
Auditor Recount.
The recounting of ballots in the con-
test of state auditor will be finished

Farmer-Labor faithful, it is said, are

the hope of receiving small pittance
for their work but it is doubtful If ever
that will be forthcoming.

Senate and House His present term
of office will round out thirty years OF
service as a member of the Minnesota
Legislature.
All this leads up to the interesting
and pleasant fact that Henry r. Sui
Ivan of st. Cloud was last fall elected
to the seat in the Senate so long and
honorably held by his father. J. D.
Sullivan.
Jim Carley Back Again.
Jim Carley is back on WabaSha Hill
from Wabasha county He's Senator
again. Jim was extinguished in 1880
after noteworthy service over period OF
several sessions. He is one of the most
caustic and most able debaters that
Minnesota legislatures have produced.
In addition to that, he is one of Wab-
asha's most upright, outstanding citi-
zens and Democrat unterrified.
Senator James A. Carley is OF an
enquiring turn of mind. He will play
ball, as in the past, with the indie
pendent Progressive majority Of the
Senate and it is rumored that he will
be in a position to look into divers and
sundry matters in divers and sundry de-
partments of the state government. No
man in the Legislature is better equipped
to be its official prober.
Support for Schools.
During the campaign last fall, and
since, demands were voiced for state
school support to the amount of SOS
per public school pupil. Those who
made the demand may have thought
that they were hitching their wagon to
star, but were they? On the basis OF
100000 public school children this de-
mand would require state aid to the
public schools to the amount Of $14,-
600 900 annually.
The Legislature is now appropriating
approximately $6,5OO,OOO to the public
schools of the state. Interest on the
state school fund, distributed pro rata
amounts to about $2,500,000 per year
and is steadily increasing. The public
school received in 1884 a total OF
81 100000 from the new income tax
These amounts total almost $11 ,OO0, 900
In normal year, receipts from the
occupation and royalty taxes will add
another 100000, bring the total
almost to the $25 per capita asked for
1t is even possible that the $25 per
capita will be exceeded in 1885, for
many business men confidently predict
that income tax returns, all of which go
to the public schools, will be doubled
this year.
Few states in the Union have made
such strides toward equalizing educa-
tional opportunity and the burden of

LEGISLATIVEANEW
By R. w. HITCHCOCK

The people determined last November
9Th what should be the character of
the legislation of the session of 1885
when they exercised their right of
choice among those who were standing
for the legislature.
The people then determined that laws
should be made in the Legislature of
1885 by those who are opposed to the
principles set out in the Farmer-Labo-
platform of last spring.
What's in a Name?
The Farmer-Labor Leader appeared
last week for the first time as a weekly
publication under the name of The
Minnesota Leader. Is the Farmer
Labor party wearying of its name?
Is this the first step toward change?
Do the leaders of the party want a
name that will be more acceptable to
the nation at large? Are they looking
forward to the formation of a national
party and is Farmer Labor" to pro-
vincial name to function under?
If the Farmer-Labor party wants to
change it's name, that is undoubtedly
it's business, but it takes it pretty hard
that the opposition in the Legislature
has changed its name also and now
calls itself the Independent Progressive
party. The State News, edited by Art
Jacobs, frothed at the mouth about it
in its last issue, and the new Minnesota
Leader doesn't like it bit.
The Independent Progressive faction,
dominant in both Senate and House, is
composed of both Democrats and Re-
publicans in about equal numbers. In
| this group, particularly among the new
members of the Senate and House, Is
an exceptionally large number of strong
men.
There is every indication that the
Legislature of 1885, faced with un-
usually heavy responsibilities, will &C.
quit itself well and make record CON-
parable to the best in Minnesota legis-
lative history.
Son Succeeds Father.
For many sessions of the Minnescts
Legislature j. D. Sullivan was a Sena.
tor from st. Cloud. He sat in the
very front seat at the extreme right
hand of the presiding officer Of the
Senate Immediately behind him Sat
George Sullivan of Washington county
The two Sullivans, in no wise related
except for the tie that bound them tt
Erin's Isle, were stalwarts of the Senate
Both were practiced debaters, with de.
hberate and telling delivery. When the
Sullivans, or either of them, were il
action on the floor, the occasion never
lacked interest for Senate and spec.
tators.
A former Speaker of the House, wher
asked how laws are made, said: "A
member introduces a bill, it is sent t:
committee, comes back and is cen
sidered by the House; if the Houst
passes it, it goes to the Senate where
the Sullivan brothers dispose of it a
they see fit"
After serving several terms, j. D. Sui
Ivan retired from the Senate. Georg

ACCIDENTAL DEATHS
IN 1884.

Accidents of all kinds took $1,000 lives
in the United States last year according
to preliminary estimates just an
nounced by the National Safety Coun-
Gil. More than a third of the deaths
occurred in traffic, another third in
homes, and the remainder in occupa-
tional and public accidents.
The total figure for 1884 represents
an increase of 81 per cent over 81 ,087
deaths recorded in 1893 and approx
mates the all-time high of fatal &C
cidentS reached in 1890, when there
were $4,000 deaths.
Motor vehicle accidents were reSpon-
Sible for the largest proportion of the
grand total-35 500 fatalities. This total
was Is per cent above 1888 and well
above the previous all-time high of
33,675 in 1881.
Home accident deaths jumped from
10000 in 1888 to $4,000 last year. Oc-
cupational deaths are estimated at
$500, an increase of 1000 over 1888.
The new record of traffic deaths, an
increase Of 1000 in single year, is only
partially accounted for by increased auto
travel. Gasoline consumption, the best
index of travel, increased only about
per cent.
The increase in fatal accidents was
general throughout 1884; every month
showed a higher death total than the
corresponding month of 1888. The first
six months, however, were especially
disastrous, showing an increase of q
per cent.
Increases in motor vehicle deaths
were much greater in rural areas thar
in the city. Pedestrian fatalities in
creased less in 1884 than other types
of traffic accidents, but they still aver.
age between 60 and IS per cent OF ali
motor vehicle deaths in cities.
