''I.AKEsiDE," near la ,tings, }
Dakota Co., NJ. T., May II, "a. =
We have Just opened, surveyed and staked out
Il level road, direct to the settlements on the Up
per Cannon ana Straight rivers. Crowds of emf
grants arc coming to this point, boml for these
settlements.
The road i just thirty-si miles, measured dis
tanrc to Fc"ribault's, and not marsh, or pOnl-
hole, or bad place i'll the entire route. Some en-
i:rrating parties were out travelling it during the
storm, the women AMI children belonging to
which, it is supposed must have suffered some,
especially as they had to camp out over night in
the road, AMI that without tents. Rather dis
couraginc at the start to settler; in Il new coun-
try. This necessity of camping out, however,
will be rcmcdic.l in few DAYS. A good log
public hou j. going up ut the new GRO ssinr of
Cannon, (two miles bclo~ the old crossin.,) an |
things will he more comfortable there after this.
Between the Cannon river crossing and Ncr-
million Falls at Hastings, the surveying party
discovered on the road new, rather hereto
fore unknown region, about ten miles from the
latter, where about twenty families might make
beautiful claims, and of the richest kind Of land,
meadow, water and timber combined
The new road goes two miles and half to the
left of the Exam -duIt-fa or Standing
Rock, from which the Indians derive their name
for Cannon river.
1t is IL natural obclsk of white sandstone rock
about eighteen feet in diameter, which rises alb
ruptly from the level prairie to the height of six
tv feet. 1t is IL curiosity and a land mark we'll
worth visit. 1t is about sixteen miles from
Hastings, and ii level buggy road the whole dis
tancc.
There is a regular horse ferry now kept" across
the Miss ssippi at Hastings, and persons DESTROYS
of gong with teams to Cannon river, will find it
best to leave st. Paul about or 10 O'Clock by
Dayton's Bluff; keep round Pigs-Eyc marsh
back of Red Rock by the bluff, and along by
Atchinson and Bells Prairie to Hastings cross
there, put up for the night, and the next mornn.
take the river road to Cannon river. IL Il light
team, it can make from Hastings to Fcrribault'S
in Il day. +.

THE BEARD CONTROVERSY,


''Bearl or no beard, is the great question, be-
fore the ''wise men of the East,' as we are in
formed by travellers from the Atlantic states.
1t may be because the Gar Peter, made his
subjects shave, that men in these days of ant
Russian sentiment, are beginning to be, if not
like Esau hairy all over, at least full of bristes
t. the face.
As early as the year 1880 this subject was dis
cusscd in full conclavc of the Dakotas of Min
ncSota.
OF the three Europeans who first visited Mile
Lac, two, after the manner of our Broadway tops
wore hair on their chins, and lips, and sides of
the face, the third who was none other than the
Franciscan priest, Father Hennepin, whose name
is identified with the Falls of st. Anthony, was n
man who shaved, and on that account was the
most popular. SAYS the Father on this subject:
''Thc Indians often asked me how many wives
and children | had, and how old l was, that is
how many winters, for so these nations always
count. These men, uncnlightened by faith, were
surprised ut the answer made them, for pointin:
to our two Frenchmen, | told them that man
among could have only one wife until death,
that rs for me had promised the Master of life
to live rs they me, and to come and live with
them to teach them that he would have them be
like the French.
But that gross people turned all said into rid;-
cule.''
''IIow," said they 'swould you have those two
men with the hair have wives? Ours would not
live with them, for they have hair all over the
face, and we have none their or elsewhere
in fact they were never better pleased with me
than when was shaved, and from complasance
cert linly not criminal, shaved every week.
Hoping the Minnesota ladies will continue to
admire smooth faces, / am

In to
ka Bill. There is a God in Israel, and while he
may flourish like green bay tree, still the ulti-
matum of public opinion will be his dirge. Thank
God, we have but few so putrid as he. Good
Lord, deliver us from such an incubus again, may
we at the South and North sincerely pray.
The storm of fifty was just over and the bow
of promise was in the political heavens, -appa-
rently we of the South and you of the North were
to be more indissolubly connected than we have
been since the days of 76, but this cup of JOY was
snatched momentarily from us. Could we mingle
together more than we do, it would relieve us of
great prejudices and fanaticism. The ultra
Southern man and the ultra Northern man would
change places. This will be, for soon we will be
bound together with hooks of steel, and must
necessarily become better acquainted.
Yours. UNCLE TOBY.

MAY IL, 1901.
MIEssRs. NEwsoN, MITCHELL & Co.
Gentlemen:-In the ''Times'' of this morning,
Inoticc that the First Presbyterian Church, is
vacant
In common with many Of my friends, you have
misapprehcnded the nature Of my resignation,
and am very glad, that the blank space opposite
the First Presbyterian Church, in your ''Direct-
ory'' affords IN opportunity to make an explana-
ton.
1t is true, as the s'Dailv NIinncsotian'' first
announced, that l have declined to accept the
Pastoral office to which was unanimously elected,
but in SO doing, the pulpit of the First Presbyte-
Ran Church is not rdcant, but, as before the call
was rendered, preach from Sunday to Sunday.
AS yet there has not been the installation of q
single Pastor in the city, and believe that am
the first that has ever been elected to the Office.
Various reasons induced me not to assume the
pastoral relation, one of which was the inadequate
support that would probably have been rendered
Though the church and congregation of which
am and have been the minister for five years, is
the largest Protestant Assembly in Minnesota, yet
the majority are not rich in this worlds goods,
and have with difficulty provided for the wants of
their own households.
Never have they designed to be niggardly unto
their teacher in spiritual things, ''for to their
power, | bear record, yea, and beyond their
power, they were willing Of themselves; PRAYING
us with much entrcaty, that we would receive the
gift" and take upon us the office of pastor.
Until church, however, are able to support
minister in the manner that becomes his noble
calling, do not think that they should have one
Installed as pastor.
When the ministry receive but half support,
they not one half as useful, and in their sor-
row they write books like the ''Rcctor of st.
Bardophs,' and present ''Shady Sidc'' which
tho world ought not to see.
Saith the Scriptures, SEVEN so hath the Lord
ordained, that they which preach the gospel
should live of the gospel"
Until this is fully indoctrinatcd, can never
become pastor of any flock, but until that time
am ready, if necessary to initiate the example
of him after whom this city is named, and SNAKE
be free from all men, yet have made myself
servant unto all.''
Very truly,

The following beautiful sanzas, entitled Destiny,
lip from the Knckerbocker:
saw o Flower q starlit brook,
All sad and lone, bending her head;
And every time the running nght-wind shook
The darkcning waves, she how'd, though she read
Some legion Of her destiny for there
Were mlrror'd few stars, In their faint shining
But half revealing, half with doubt entwining,
The fate Of all things, faithful, fond, and fair!
looked again, that dream-like Flower was gone
Over the brook the night-wlnd sighed alone
And, by one, upon the stream did fling
The purple leaves of that fra, faded thing,
Sybilline, scattered to the waves to be
Embems to others of like Destiny.

The NEBRASKA BnL.-The vote on taking up
this bill, in committee of the whole, would seem
to indicate sufficient strength on the part of its
of its friends to consummate this gigantic fraud.
This, though unwelcome, is not, to us, altogether
unexpected. The bill was introduced by pros
pective candidate for the presidency-was an
open bid for southern vOtes-was endorsed by
the President as q democratic, administration
measure. With an overwhelming majority, such
as the administration has in Congress, and with
the party screws applied only democratic leaders
can apply them, its defeat would be almost a
miracle. Still there is hope-that hope is in the
frmness and tact of the Wings of the north, who
proudly show an unbroken front to repel agrees
sion and put down agitation; nor are the wings
of the north left alone--Bell, CullOm, Hunt and
host of their southern brethren are with them,
and nobly scorn the paltry bride held out to in
duee them to forfeit the plighted faith of the
South. There are many good democrats, too, who
hold faith, justice and freedom above the price Of
executive favor-honor to them, for they are faith
full among the faithless, true among traitors
Still, as we said, our main hope is the old whig
guard they are the neucles around which the
friends of freedom must rally-the Spartan band
who never yield Or waver when ruthless men
would lay unholy hands upon the pillars of free
dom or seek to violate the sanctity of a compact
hallowed by the names of the great and good
whose wisdom and patriotism first gave it being,
and sanctifcd by the observance Of a third of
century.
Keep it before the pcople-thc Nebraska bill
lcgislates slavery into free territory. Talk not
of non-intcrvcntion; it is intervention in its
worst form, for it establishes slavery in a man.
ner that puts it beyond the power of the pco-
pie in their territorial capacity to interfere in
the matter. Leaves it to the people, forsooth!
The friends Of the bill at the south understand
it as we have stated; so, doubtless, does the
slave owner from Illinois, who made the disn-
tcrcstcd offer in the name of the North. Let the
free men Of the north remember him in 1854.

SUFFERNGs OF Col. FRExoNr's Panty. G..
l.. Smith, Mormon, writes letter to the Salt
Lake News, the following in relation to the re-
cent suferings Of Col. Fremont and his party in
Utah Territory:
On the 9th of February, the man on the look
out at Parawan reported a company, supposed TO
be Indians, coming into the north end Of the val
ley, twenty miles distant from Parowan, and
about IL O'Clock on the morning Of the 7th, Col.
John G. Fremont, with nine white men amltwelve
Delaware Indians, arrived in Parawan in state
OF starvatiOn one of his men had fallen dead
from his horse the day previous, and several
more must inevitably have shared his fate had
they not had succOr that day. They reported,
that they had eaten twenty-seven broken down
aninials and that when horse or mule could 20
no further, it was killed and divided out, giving
One-half to the Delawares, and the other half to
4he Colonel and his men; the hide was cut in
pieces and cast lots for. After the bones were
made into soup, they were burned, and carried
along by the men for luncheon. The entrails
were shaken and then made into soup, together
with the feet and eyes; thus using up the whole
mule. They stated they had travelled forty five
days living on this kind of fare.
Although Colonel Fremont was considered by
the people an enemy to the Saints, and had no
money, he was kindly treated and supplied on
credit with provisions for hmsc IF and men, wl'ilo
at Parowan, and fitted out with animals and p. o.
visions to pursue his journey, and went on the
way rejoicing on the Doth February.
The Col. was sanguine in his opinion that he
had found the best route for the great National
Railway.

Lottery, which have cost us ten cents piece.
Now, we wish it distinctly understood, that we
never put dollar in the lottery in our lives, and
we never intend to, and what is further, we would
request the parties to desist sending US any more
circulars, as they will not be taken from the
Office. They may use our name in almost any de.
cent business, but in this we insist that it shall
not be mentioned.
