THE CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS
The people are already looking about
for Congressional candidates, and aspi-
rants for Congressional hunors and op-
portunities are already looking about
for the nomination. On the Republic
can side, in this, the Second District,
the two most prominent names mell-
toned for the nomination are those of
Hon. NJ. II. Dunnell, the present ill.,
cumbent, and Gen. A. J. Edgerton, one
OF the Railroad Commissioners. Gen.
J. II. Baker, of Mankato, the Commits
sioner of Pensions, has also been spok-
en- of, but it is understood that he does
not wish to he candidate. In the Sec
ond District, Major Strait, the present
member. and Gen. L. F. Hubbell are
spoken Of, and the name of Judge J. II.
Brown is also mentioned. In the
Third District, Gen. J. F. Averill and
W. S. King, the present members, are
most prominently spoken of for tile
nomination.
Thus far, the Republican papers of
this District, so far us we have seen.

prominent exception is found in the

GENERAL HOWARD AGO GIFTED.

The Christian public especially, will
be gratitied to know that the commits
sion appointed to try Gen. y. .. How
ard upon the charges made against him
in connection with his management Of
the Howard University and the Freed
mems Bureau, have acquitted him up
OH every charge. 1t is said, upon high
authority, that the attacks upon Gen.
Howard were made solely for the pur-
pose Of revenge, and we do not doubt it.
Almost from the beginning Of his Ca
reer in the army, and especially from
the time of his connection with the
Freedmen Bureau, lie was made the
subject OF bitter attacks from the Sa-
tanic press Of the country. His purity
of character and his earnest piety,
which gave him the title Of the Chris
tian Soldier were Il standing rebuke
to corrupt men of all parties, and seem
to have concentrated upon him their ll;,-
tired and to have drawn upon him a
constant fire from a corrupt press. But
Gen. Howard, together with Beecher
and Colfax who have been still more
the objects Of INSCRIPTIONS aud malig-
nant attack, stand acquit in the eyes
of a just public.

bles County, where the National Colo
ny is located, is in Southwestern Min
nesota, generally called the garden of
the State and the cream of the Prairies.
The elevation is about 800 feet above
the sea level, giving lis the climate of
the mountains, and the soil is 4 sandy
loan from two to four feet deep, giving
ing us the soil of the river bottoms.
There are Il number of lakes in the Col
fine border of timber Worthington, the
principal town. is situated on the shore
Of Okabena Lake, and is already Il tlriv-
ing town, with trade from sone nine
of the surrounding counties. 1t is gen.
orally recognized as a trading centre
for this part Of Minnesota and for
Northwestern Iowa and Southwestern
Dakota. There are no liquor saloons
in the county, and the people are enter
prising, intelligent and moral. In
short, we have good railroad, school,
social, church and other privileges, and
the community is said to average bet
ter than any new community in the

COAL IN MINNESOTA.

There is still quite an excitement in
Freedom county over the discovery of
Coal. No doubt coal will yet he found
in large quantities i'll Southern Mime
sofa, and we hope that biologists will
take time by the forelock and correct
their views rs to the possibility of find
ing coal here. They have frequently
had to change their logic to meet the
facts and will doubtless have to do so
again. Coal is found all around us, and
must before long be found between st..
Paul and Sioux City. The Albert Lea
STANDARD says Of recent Developments
ut Freeborn:
New developments in the Freeborn
coal mine have inspired the subject with
new interest, and set the Inhabitants
Of that favored locality alive with fresh
excitement. In the course of prospect
ing. several holes have been bored, each
one striking slate ut about the same
depth. In the last one upon entering
the slate, Il creVice WAS struck and gas
came kissing up through the hole, and,
upon touching Il match to it, ignited
and burned furiously f'r several hours.
In fact. the gas rushed through the ;.l,-
eratllre with such force that the blaze
was kept from approaching nearer than
about two feet Of the we'll.
The proofs OF mineral seemed so con-
elusive that Il stock cn'Hpany was at
once organized, capital $40. 900. divided
into SO shares, the most of which has
already been taken up. n new Shaft is

THE MASSA CHL1SEl'IS DEL Ut;E

THE MASSA CIlC.SETTS DELUCE.
One of the most singular and appal-
ing calamities Oh record occurred on
Monday last i'll Hampshire County,
Massachusetts. \ reservoir, covering
about 100 acres, suddenly burst and
swept away four villages. The loss Of
property is estimated 1T from So. OUV. 900
to 5000, 900, and the loss OF life at from
40 to $50 persons.
A wave thirty feet high swept down
the Mill River valley ut the. rate OF
twenty miles an hour, sweeping every
thing in its path to ruin. Brick build
ings crumbled before it like sand and
wooden houses crushed together like
paper. The flood came upon the people
almost as suddenly as the lava flood
which buried Pompeii. Some escaped
to the hills and Il few who were caught
in the flood and borne away were saved
as if by a miracle. The Waterman at
the reservoir, when he saw the break,
mounted his horse aud rode for the VII
lagos to warn the people. His horse
fell dead in the first village from the
exertion, but he mounted another and
= sped on. The flood overlook Inn be-
fore he reached the lower villages, and
he was compelled to take refuge on IL
hill, and to lie helpless witness of the
fearful catastrophe. lie has added,
however, another famous ride" to
those which the poets have immortal
lied. Some eighty persons, Of those
who escaped alive, became insane.
The breaking Of the reservoir was
due to the criminal economy or stingi-
ness Of the Mill River Manufacturers
Association. We shall hear for few
days the usual cutlery, as we always do
after the fall Of a cheap tenement house
in the cities, or the week of All ullse...
worthy vessel, or the fall OF a train
through cheap railroad bridge, and
then we shall 60 on as before taking the
same risks and submitting to the same
criminal economy.

Ansecers to Colony Correspondent

Ans,rers to Colony Correspondents.
Mr.. a. D., OF Rochelle, Ogle county,
Illinois, asks: l. Could a family get
through the winter, going there in Sep
TENDER, with about $3.50? 2. Would
it do for old people to move there?
ANSWER. A family could get
through the winter with that amount
and have from 81, 200 to 81, 500 left to
begin with IN the Spring. No man
with that amount Of money need hest
tate tn cone to the National Colony,
for with that much money he can lay
the basis of Il co ,Efortable fortune. If
he wishes to follow farming. he can
make the first payment on farm of
100 acres near Wortlington with $3.50.
Five or six hundred more would build
him comfortable house. He would
then have left from 1900 to $1,700 to
purchase implements and some stock
and to see him through the first year
until he could begin to realize upon
crops. If he wishes to engage in bust
ness in town, he could lay in quite a
stock Of goods for a small town with
$500. 1t is no unusual thing for men
to come to Minnesota with just enough
money to get here, and to come out in
from three to five years owners Of inl-
proved farms. Minnesota is emplati-
cally the State for poor men. Thou
sands of men who have passed from
poverty to independence III few years
can testify to this.
,. Why should not old people come
here ? Whether young or old, p ople
do not suffer as much here from the
cold as they do in Illinois and the damp
er ATTITUDES. Ten to twenty degrees be-
low zero can be endured here better
than zero in Illinois. The air is pure
and invigorating, and the general
health of the people is excellent. Old
people have good appetites and good
health as we'll as young people, and to
some extent have their youth renewed.
The long Indian Summer Autumns,
with crisp, frosty nights and bright in
rigorating days, are an excellent prep
aration for winter,

The Sioux City Journal tells how
Lake Okoboji got its present name. 1t
was named. says the .Jou,'nul, in honor
Of the grand father Of the present race
of Booges Of that city. The Journal
says:
The name Of the lake at that time
was 1stamaya, but the Indians, in
grand council. decided to change the
name in honor "t Mr.. Broge. and de-
Gliding that Old l}"oge was all right, or
as they said. q. X. the namt Of the
lake was changed to o. X. Booge-

how our own lake came to I've named
Okabena, but have not elected any
thing sufficiently definite to publish.
1t is probable. however, that at one
time there was al Indian trader named
lhna. and that the Indians following
the photography of Gen. Jackson when
he endorsed certain document as
"Oll KoVrect,' y pretixed the o. X. to
the name of Mr.. Bena, and thus gave
