James E. C|,ilds" has changed the
name and politics of his paper, and the
Waseca News now comes to us as the
Minnesota Radical. The new paper ad-
vocates 4 new party to be called the
Radio l Reform Party, with Prohibition
as the chief plank in its platform. Mr..
Clilds is Il fearless and an able editor.
and the only obstacle we see to his sue
cess is that lie is so far in advance of
his time. We certainly wisl, him album
Lant success i'll his war upon the liquor

THE REEZZARn

=. - ~ :
81. Pie electrical storm, or :. blizzard y
which reached this latitude last Friday
morning was not 4: violent one. It
was, in fact, a baby compared with the
giant storm of January, 1873. Tie
great storm continued for three days
while this one spent its force in one
day. The temperature Oh last Friday,
however. was lower than during the
great storm, the thermometer standing
during the dayat % and % below zero,
while two years agosthe lowest reached
was IS to 20 degrees below. The most
wonderful fact connected with the re-
cent storm was that scarcely any one
had sensible appreciation of the de-
gree of cold reached. One man, who
had not seen a thermometer, put the
temperature at zero and then changed
his estimate to above. Another man
thought it must he down to zero at
most. This fact was probably due to
the unusual quantity of electricity in
the atmosphere. Both north and south
of us the temperature was reported low
er than at Worthington. Sibley report
ed 80 below. We always expect. to
hear of extreme cold in the frigid re-
gions south of us. The wires, during
the storm, refused to, work, and the
points of the instrument at this place
blazed with lightning when brought
near together. Trains were suspended
for two days.
The following incidents of the storm
we cannot vouch for, but give them for
what they are worth:
A man III lower town got, up about
daylight on Friday morning and under
took to dress in the cold, when, to his
utter establishment and discontinue,
he found all his button holes frozen
shut.
A boy down at the railroad rose be-
fore daylight and, in attempting to but
ton his suspenders over the metallic
buttons Of his pantaloons, developed a
fash of electricity which knocked him
back into bed where he lay in a helpless
condition and in Il profound sleep for
several hours.
4 man on Eleventh street went out
early to get some wood to kindle Il fire.
; His eyes and mouth froze shut immedi-
ately. lie was compelled to grope his
way back into the house and breathe
through his ears until he could strike
light and get the ice out of his nous.
tache.
A young man who had been sitting
up with his sweetheart, left her very
late 1T night, that is. very early in the
morning. She followed linn to the
door, and in their mutual attempt to
say good-by, their lips froze together,
and they W re compelled to return to
the stove and thaW loose.

The question az o.the ownership Of
tie ADVANCE is raised 30 frequently
that some statement Of the facts and
of the position of the paper seems to be
demanded. The WoRTH1NaToN AD-
VANCE, with all the material, good will,
book accounts, ETC., is the property of
the undersigned. The purchase was
made last Summer and the necessary
papers have been duly executed. Mil
Ter, Humiston & Company, the former
owners, have no interest in the paper
whatever and no more voice in its man.
agement than any other citizen or citi-
zens. Let this statement. once for all,
settle the question of ownership. A
word now as to the position of the AD-
VANCE:
l. The ADVANCE is an independent
public Journal. For the present, we be-
lieve the prosperity and peace of the
country are best promoted by the as
tendency of the Republican party, and
therefore we shall advocate mainten-
ance of that ascendency. We shall
give our Democratic opponents a fair
hearing and treat them with candor
and all due respect.
2. The ADVANCE is 4 local newspa-
per, and while it will give a summary
of the general news, it will he especial
ly devoted to building up the interests
of Mobiles county and the counties trib-
utary to Worthington.
3. The ADVANCE will continue to
recognize the fact that this is the Ma
tiomal Colony. All attempts to create
division or i'll feeling between colonists
and those who attempt to ignore the
fact of 4 Colony, will be discouraged
Without taking sides with or against
the Colony Company, in any Of their
personal, private or business affairs, we
shall not fail to criticize any public mis-
takes they may make, nor shall we ever
fail to heartily and cleerfully recognize
the WORK they have accomplished in
founding the Colony and in pushing OF,
it's development.
4. The ADVANCE will steer clear OF
any Courthouse. Colony, Anti-Colony,
or any other |.ri'gs," excepting al
ways the ring of the true metal,) and
will aim to lie all independent journ< /
instead Of al organ. Amy attempt of
amy politician, oratlvocate of any cause
or enterprise, to dictate or to control
the paper, will lie promptly resented
and rebuktd.
S. We shall avoid, rs far rs possible,
all offensive personality, and shall con.
tinue to conduct IL dignifie.l, outspoken,
and reliable newspaper. So far us our
columns are concerned, we shall have
no personal enemies.
6. We recognize the all-rervatline
power Of the press, and shall keep con,
stantly in view our responsibility with
Ill the sphere of the ADVANCE. Oul
aim, therefore, shall I've to make ever,
type in the paper Il soldier falling into
line and going forth to do battle fol
temperance, general morality, and a
bove all and including all, the cause Of
Christ. A. p. MILLER.

RELIGIOUS MEETINGS.

The series Of meetings held during the
week of prayer have resulted in awak-
ening considerable religious interest
among the Christian people of Worth
ington. The churches decided to con-
tinue the meetings during four eve
nings of the present week and will pro-
badly continue them for several weeks
longer in the hope of creating an inte-
rest among the unconverted. If there
is anything needed it is IL warming and
deepening of the religious and spiritual
life of the community. Some one, said
that this was the most moral and tile
least spiritual community lie knew of.
There is Il good deal of truth i'll the re-
mark. There are, however, numbers
of earnest, Christian men and women
who are desiring and laboring for great
er spirituality and who feel that we
cannot buy off with morality.
