The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1876-11-23

when the, financial crisis came in 1873?
AS usual in such cases, the men who
are most; Indebted to him.. are first to-
take advantage Of his embarrassment.
But, thanks to 4 good Providence,
DR.. Miller will soon be in q position e. :.
financially where no one from w orthing-
ton can annoy him. IeS. Is again III.
possession 81 the Toledo Blade, which
had been nearly ruined ", the former
proprietor, and in the brief. time which.
has elapsed since last Spring, has i'm
creased the circulation threefold; and
given the Blade its old prestige As the.
great Radical paper of the Northwest,
as'the only western paper which can.
claim national circulation. Long
may Dr.. Miller flourish the wand which
sets: hundreds Of fingers to clicking up
the type and the huge presses in the
basement;to laundering off the Blades
immense edition. And may the Ma
tional Colony, toward which he has
been too generous, some day repay some
thing Of the, debt it owes him. ', ~. VIZ ~
Welearn from DR.. Bedford, who has
been to Bingham Lake, that our friend
Hector NJ. johnson has now one of the
best Touring mills in the country. The
mill was formerly 4 windmill, but has
been changed and is now run by steam.
It has four run of stone, and is adapted
to burning hay. The engine is a fifty
horse power and runs exceedingly
smooth. But the novel feature of the
mill is the boiler, being the only one of:
the kind in the United States. 1T is, in
fact, Il double boiler, one within the
other, the water being between the two
boilers, thus leaving Il tlue in the CEN
ter. This boiler stands on, end in. a
double stack of brick. Thus the
flames, heat and smoke pass up on the
inside of the boiler, then down the out
side and then up between the brick
walls of the double stack and off into
the air. Loose hay is used, and it re-
quires but between three and four tons
day to run the mill. The whole mill
cost only about SIS, 200, and the ma
chinery is first class in every respect.
The Journal says it is to have some
letters from the Sisseton Agency "all
its own." This kind of enterprise is
commendable. The journal has a most
happy faculty Of getting at the news
several weeks after the ADVANCE has
published it. Here we have already
published letters giving accounts of
the school and it's workings, at the Sis
seton Agency, and now the Journal is
going to do the same after everybody
has read of it in the ADVANCE. So
last spring, we gave full accounts of
Mr.. F. G. Taylor's purchase of II 1000
acres of land in the Colony. About
five weeks afterwards the Journal con-
tanned an item referring to such a sale,
and this was the only account it gave.
Recently, we gave full account of the
throwing of Prof. IIumiston's furni-
ture into the street, with statements
from both sides of the disgraceful at
fair, and the Journal came out the Sec
ond week after the melee and in four
or five line item, announced that the
NJ. E. Church Trustees had taken pos
session of the Colony Office. 0 Enter
prise. thy name is Journal!
Our friend G.. r. Buick has been
busy for several days cutting grass near
town. The weather is not us favorable
as it might he for laying, but then
Minnesota is !. State of paradoxes and
wonders. Up llere people plant corn
with I'LL AK, catch fish with a pitch fork,
and make hay in the winter. The old
adage ''m:.ke hay while the sun sl,ines''
don't apply to Buick, for he intends
to dry his hay in the stove.
Our Democratic friend Stone has had
enough fun over the postoffice to make
him fat. lie has notified Soule to va.
cate. Our advice to Soule is not to GO
to St. Paul, for under the present meth.
cd of getting possession, lie may find
his furniture in the street when he gets
back. NoT1ss.-No more room at the
ADVANCE Office for elected furniture.
We're too full for utterance-we're
filled to the roof.
"A card received from our friend F.
Zorn says that he has bought an 80
acre farm within two miles of Monte
yuma, Iowa, for eleven hundred dollars
Success to our friend Zorn, but We
want him back so much that we almost
wish the potato bugs, or something
else, would get after him down there
and drive him up here again.
We are informed that our friend W
r. Bennett is buying more wheat over
at Luverne than all the other buyers
We came very near having our head
taken off once for complimenting Ben
nett's business capacity, but he's max
ing our word good. Serves him right
Wish they'd ''bust"s warehouse
with grain.
