From Ottawa County.

/ MINNEAPOLIS, APrii IL, 1914.
MEssas. EmroRs: Our city has no
reported in SO long time, that your cor
respondent thought it best to fill up a,
idle hour, in letting the patrons of th'
JOURNAL know how wo are getting on
The town is improving very fast, con
s,dcring the s,rinscncy in monetary
circles.
Now buildings are being erected, anu
arc being mo :ed in from other places.
Bust ness is good, the merchants al
reporting good sales. The largest pro
portion OF the trade being for cash. On
Saturday our streets were crowded wi !,
teams and trade was brisk. Seine parties
are claimin. that were over one humid
! rcd teams in town.
The farmers seem TO be encouraged al
the prospects Of good crop tins year,
and the spring work is being taken hold
of with will, as if they had unlimited
faith in the material fertility of our soil.
Tho temperance agitation has not
amounted TO much here, but still we
are promised temperance town this
year, as both Of the saloon keepers pro
pose to close up on the LIST proximo aud
and if our druggists do their duty, there
will be very little whiskey consumed
for a while.
The city election was earnestly con
tested. The new administration are all
temperance men. The council held its
first meeting on Saturday, and if their
first session is any criterion, We will
havca progressive year in municipal at
fairs.
The town meetings passed of quickly,
the principal excitement in connection
with them seemed TO be this, whether
this was the year 10 elect justices Of the
peace or not.
In our county this question has never
been settled. Every year we have q dis
cussion on the subject. 1t appears to the
writer that this would be a good point
for Attorney General Williams to in
vestigate.
All the Democrats were r. oicinS on
last Saturday on account OF Col. Phillips
action in continuing cur post Office in
Democratic hands. The Col. ha; known
for a long time that the former post
master was an ultra Democrat, but he
would not make change; recently the
Democratic official resigned in favor Of
John c. Boblett, a good citizen; but as
b. was farmer living outside of town,
many of our citizens, knowing that ii
was only dodge TO keep the office with
the old sci, reno: . RAJ d and recon m.,.d
ed one OF our leading merchants, and =
Republican. for the place but i; seems
that the boast of the formers Democratic
incumbent is good. He had more infIu-
ence than the Republicans in this matter.
Your correspondent congratu!a,es the
gallant Col. on the new principal lie
has thus laid downfall the spells be-
long 10 the Democrats.
Two years ago Ottawa was the first
county 10 support Col. Phillips for Con-
gress. 1t may be different this year.

"Cremation is the latest agitation
Some fellows want to utilize dead hu
man bodies, by burning them and using
the ashes as fertilizer. Probably the
burning method is the best for Fastening
On the "dust to dust principle. A hu
man ashes factory wouldn't pay in this
country. 1t is too healthy here. When
cremation gets TO be a success, man 5
descendants can assuaSc their grief in
the knowledge that the departed is bodi-
" present in the cabbage or potato
they are eating. When that pro-
cess is popular, some distinguished per-
sons ashes may got mixed with anoth-
er's, and tho vegetable propaga;ed by
this cross " will be known as an Anna
Dickinson-Frod- Douglas beet, or a Vic
ull-Theadore- Triton turnip. Lot

tails TO the gun OF the emperor or grand
duke, both Of whom are firstclass shots.
The Grand Duke Alexis is, like the
Duke of Edinburgh, a sailor, having
been destined for the navy from his in
fancy. His studies were directed by
Admiral PossIet, man distinguishes:
for his great scientific at.ainments. The
Grand Duke began At the lowest round
Of the naval ladder, and has gone con
scientiously through all the grades OF q
cadet upward. He ,tar,ed in August,
1871. On his longest tour. with The ra.k
of lieutenant, and was promoted ON the
voyage to the rank of first lieutenant
he was subsequently made captain,
which rank he held upon the arrival o!
the fri.ate Syet'ana, so called after
the heroine Of poem by the great Rus
sian poet, Psuchkln.
The gard duke mas encountered many
vicis>itudes during his adventurous Ga
reer. In the month ut September. 1883.
while coasting in the Alexander Ne,ski,
off the coast of uiland, he was shipwrrck
ed, and II was on that occasion that the
grand dake exhibited extraordinary
pluck, and " hat is more singular. abne-
cation Of self and xuiic'iudc for o,hcr-
in u position Of the gravest peril. Since
then the grand duke ha. visited all parts
of the world, win the exception al
\ Australia, India, New Guinea, and the
| islands thereabouis, which he intends
seein. next year or the year sitter. lie
will star: on another long cruise of al
venture in 1875. The grand duke l.
never happier Than wl1n on voyage
The grand duke has been accompanied:
on all OF his travels by his English
preceptor, Mr.. Machin, who IS still attach.
ed to his suit.
1t is Russian etiquette Tor the Gran,:
Duke HerItier to lead a comparatively
retired life, and to appear chiefly in con
neclion with works OF philanthropy. The
Czaroviteh does not, accordingly, take Il
prominent part in public matters, al
though it is understood that he is being
gradually made thoroughly conversant
with the affairs Of the great empire.
The Grand Duke Serge, who is in his
sixteenth year, IL young man OF very
great, promise, AS yet his studies are not
completed.
The Grand Duke Paul Is thirteen
years Of age. Both be- and his brother.

ut DONG an Immei.se amount of gnod.
The grand duchess has taken much in

cred aspirtions in these matters. The
woman suffragis,s had then, and doubt
less have now, many :rdent advocates
in and about Sa!ina, and all progressive e"
ideas seem to be warmly seconded by
one class or other in that locality.
Evidences Of thrift, such perhaps As
no other town along the line Of the h
P. road enjoys, are to be .een at Salina
The surrounding country, like our own
delightful valley, canno, be surpassed III
richness or beauty. Confident of con-
tinued prosperity, the citizens appear to
esteem the future as certain to afford the
most ample evidence Of the existing
wealth OF the county, as yet but partial
ly developed, and this assurance 10
seemingly well grounded.

1t would be unfair, perhaps, to close
this article without some aiiIsion to the
prospective commercial Importance OF
SaIina, especially IN respect to the grain
trade. The rapid augmentation OF pro
ducing facilities has already placed Ibis
country ir the attitude OF an exporter OF
brcadstaffis, and the enterprise Of our
neighbor has led TO the initiative in the
shipping process. Many thousands OF
bushels Of grain have been shipped
from Saiina to eastern points during the
past few months, and the erection OF
commodious granarics with elevators, In
proximity TO the railroad, arc contem'
plated in order TO facilitate the ship
ment Of the next crop. 1t requires no
prophet to foretelI the pcrmanency and
significance of this business; and as
compared with the unstable, transient
Texas cattle trade, 1t will prove a great
blessing, whereas the latter has absolute
~ damaged the future ofsome cO.nmuni.
ties morally, socially, commercially and
politically.

Emperor OF Russia.

The emperor has the reputation of be
ing tie hardest worked man in Rus,i;,
Every morning, with tho regularity o
clock work, he takes walk in the gar
dens of the Winter Palace for TWEEN y
minutes, accompanied by his dogs, anc
on his return to the palace he works unit
luncheon, which Is served at twelve
o'clock. Immediately atterward his
majesty resumes work, receiving his
ministers or giving audiences. With the
exception Of half an hours rest, tie ear
is occupied in this manner until two
O'Clock. 1io thea goes out for couple
OF hours walking or driving. As rule,
the imperial family are very par, cuiar
in regard TO their daily exercise.
Dinner is served At 6 p. M after which
the emperor sets to work again, and il
necessary, does not cease tae occupation
upon which he NAV he engaged until at.
ter midnight, sometimes not until or
O'Clock IN the morning. Usually his
majesty goes ont shooting once a week
and occasionally he visits the thca;cr,
where, however, he seldom remains
mure than half an hour. The ear is a
man of wonderful pupciIali;y in his
habits, while his pleasant manner en-
dears him TO all. The empress is as
amiable As the ear, but docs not enjoy
good health, and is thus unable to APP
pear in public as often rs she would IN
der other circumstances.

Ice for Diphtheria.

A RECENT letter written by DR.. George
Cragin, OF the Oneida Community thus
explains a novel but what is claimed to
be very successful treatment of diph-
iberia:
Recognizing as we do the spiritual
nature of disease, as well as its spiritual
characteristics, our first efforts were to
arouse the spirit of the patient by means
of criticism to resist the power and
leaden influence of disease which envel-
opcd him like a cloud stupefying and
befogging every mental faculty and ef-
fort of the will to repel the intruder.
The invariable effect of criticism was to
stir up the patient in mind and heart to
make a stout defense against the attack
to resist the influence of the disease
with might and main, and to throw him
into a sweat, thus at once relieving the
fever.
"The next thing was to prepare a
quantity of ice broken into small bits
which could be easily taken into the
mouth and swallowed or allowed to melt,
letting the piece slip as far back as pos
sible around the roots of the tongue, ton
| sils and upper part of the throat. This
application of ice was made every ten
minutes, day and night, until every YES
| lBc Ol JHc Cankcr ndu ulSdppedreu anu
the inflammation had subsidized. During
the day the patients, unless very sick,
could help themselves to ice If d supply
were placed at the bedside or near at
hand; but during the night watchers
were required to give the necessary
lump of ice every ten minutes, one
nurse attending to several patients.
This course of treatment was faithfully
followed as long as there were any traces
of the disease about, and although we
had over sixty cases during the fall and
winter, and many of them very severe
we lost not single patient after adopt
ing the ice-criticism treatment.
"Of course the application of criti
Cism would be difficult if not impossible
under ordinary hospital routine or pri
vate practice, even if desired by the pa
tient, but the application of ice can bt
made under any circumstances, anC
there must be but few who cannot at
ford few pounds of a medicine SO cheap
so pure and so powerful
"The efficacy of the ice treatmen
lies in its being applied continu
ously until every trace of the fungu
growth has disappeared and the swell
ing and inflammation has subsidized
Acids and alkalies and fashionable gar
giles will in some measure check tn
morbid growth, but they cannot allay tn
fierce heat and reduce the inflammation
of the swelled throat. Ice will do bot
and not injuTe the patient. Try it,"
