1T IL sald tLat the Red wing wheat
buyers, in excusing themselves for not
paying as much for wheat as the buyers
III Lake City, Hastings, Cannon Falls,
and other neighboring towns, declare
that the higher prices in Lake City and
Hastings are due to rivalry between
buyers, who are running each o:her.
Whether it is true or not, it is certain
that they are running" Red Wing and
that the low prices prevailing here are
doing considerable injury to the trade Of
this city. Farmers cannot be expect
ed to patronize those who will not pay
them the same rates for their produce
as other dealers, few miles further off !;
nor is it unreasonable to expect that
they shall feel unkindly towards dealers
who endeAvor 20 buy their produce at
less than current rates. It is true,
however, that our dealers are really
paying more than the Chicago and Mil
waukee quotations justify, and are tax:
ing the risk of rise. It would seem
that the only difference between them
and the dealers in the other cities
named are shat the latter are willing to
run greater risks.

We regret that we have to omit the
lecture of Mr.. Henry Heys, delivered
before the Belvidere Grange P. of H.,
on the 5th instant. Having had al
ready in type the lecture of Hon. Eben-
ezer Ayres, delivered before the State
Grange, when that of Mr.. Heys was re-
ceived, it was absolutely necessary that
we should postpone the latter until next
week. The closing portion of Mr..
Heys' lecture is a timely and sensible
criticism on the wood measuring ordi-
nance Of this city, aud the lecturer
ended by introducing the following
preamble and resolutions which were
adopted by the grange:
WHEREAS, it has come to our notice,
through various sources, that the city coun-
Gil Of the city of Red Wing has eliminated,
or attempted to criminate, our brethren
for what we deem no offence, believing that
said Council has transcribed its powers in
50 doing; and while the matter at issue is a
clrect ana un"arranted attack upon our
brethren, we are constrained to believe that
it is an Indirect attack upon ourselves, there
fore, be it
Resolved, That we heartily sympathize
with our brethren, in their present struggle
in defence Of their liberties, and should the
said city council not see fit to withdraw the
necessary suit now pending, We shall feel
it our duty to assist our brethren in SUBJ
stantial manner, in case of a prolonged con-
test, and we call upon our neighboring
oranges and upon farmers generally to do
likewise.
Resolved, That a copy If these proceed
ing be published in the Grange Advance,

CANTArA OF DAN1EL.-On next
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
evenings, the 18th, 10th and 18th, the
singers Of this city, under the direction
of Professor S. Raymond, will give a
rendition of the celebrated cantata of
Daniel, at Opera Hall. The perform
ers will be attired in appropriate orien-
tai costumes and the stage appoint
ments will be handsome and in accord
ance with the character of the piece.
The following is the dramatis PERSONA:
Queen, Mrs. F. NJ. Wilson; Maids Of
Honor, Misses Nellie Davis, Emma Nc
Sorley, Hattie Cox and Rena Messick;
Sister of Azariah, Mrs. J. G. Mcclure;
Maids of Honor, Mrs. A. Peterson and
Miss Emma Heising; Darius the King,
F. A. Williamson; Daniel, 1st Pres
ident, S. Raymond; I'd President, Geo.
Sjoblom; Sd. President, E. F. Grow;
Azariah, George Simmons; Mishael,
E. L. Marble; Hananiah, John Bos-
worth; lst Prince, J. &. Halves; I'd
Prince, D. H. Towle; Sd Prince, O. C.
Langseth; Kings Chamberlain, W. A.
Orser; Kings Herald, w. S. Grow.
We presume that our readers gener-
ally understand that this cantata is
founded upon incidents recorded in the
book Of Daniel, Of the casting Of the
Hebrew princes into the fiery furnace,
and Of putting Daniel into the lions
den. 1t is an artistic musical compost
ton and when properly rendered, as
there is every reason to believe it will
be on this occasion, is exceedingly beau
tiful and interesting. We understand
that especial pains have been taken to
make the rendition as perfect as posi-
BILE. The participants have been as
siduously trained by frequent rehearsals
carefully conducted, and several new
solos have been composed expressly for
this occasion. A complete orchestral
score has also been added, and an or
chestra of ten instruments will appear
each evening.
We hope that those who have taken
the trouble and borne the expense Of
getting up this entertainment, will be
generously patronized by the citizens of
Red Wing, and that on this occasion,
at least, the statement that ''home tai
ent is never appreciated will be dis
proved. Let there be as large an audi
ence as that which greeted the opera
troupe recently, for we have, no doubt
it will be equally deserving, if not even
more meritorious. The admission price
is 81 cents for adults and Is cents for

A Large Establishment.

A Large Establishment.
One of the heaviest business estab-
lishments Of this city is that conducted
by Messrs. Betcher g. Co. and Messrs.
Betcher & Alley, on Main street near
Plum. The latter firm owns a saw
mill and factory at Esdaile, the former
being run with water and the latter
with steam power. They manufacture
there vast quantity of wagon hubs,
spokes, fclloes, axles, &C., and sleigh
runners, knees, &C., which are sent
here and sold in the rough from the
warehouses of the firm in the rear of
the store of Betcher & Co., and of those
adjoining. One of these is So by AZ
feet and four stories high, and there
are three others of one story. These
are all pretty well filled with the arti-
cles mentioned, which are sold here to
manufacturers and, also, sent to all
the neighboring cities of this State.
Besides the articles above mentioned,
this firm also manufacture vast guam
tity Of broom handles at their Esdaile
factory, and, also, get out a considerable
quantity of bedstead stuff; and they
likewise do heavy business in the sale
Of all sorts of agricultural machinery.
They already have on hand large num-
Der of Esterly Seeders, made at White
water, Wis.,, and of McSherry Seeders,
made at Dayton, Ohio; and they like
wise handle those of several other ma
kers.
Fronting on Plum street, and running
back to their Main store, Messrs.
Betcher & Co. have a;warehouse 80 by
25 feet, and three Stories high. The
lower story of this is used exclusively
for their iron trade, and is filed with a
very heavy stock of every thing in this
line. The second is the tin shop, where
number of hands are constantly en-
gagged in the manufacture of all kinds of
tin, sheet iron and copper utensils. The
third story is chiefly devoted to storage
Of broom handles, bedstead stuff, etc.,
Of Messrs. Betcher & Alleys depart
ment.
Fronting on Main street is the prin-
cipal store house. This is l42 feet
deep by 20 feet front, and three stories
high, with a basement extending under
the entire building. The basement is
we'll filled with nails, horse-shoes,
wrapping-paper &c. The ground floor
is a magnificent sales room, in which
are all kinds Of hardware shelf-goods,
tinware, stoves, cutters, buggies, &C,
and busy corps Of clerks. constantly
on the move. The rear end of this
apartment contains the counting room,
which is we'll arranged and business
like looking place.
The second and third floors Of this
building are used as store rooms for all
kinds of hardware, tin, sheet-iron,
zinc, &C., with d fair quantity Of stoves,
buggies, cutters, and various odds and
ends too numerous to mention. Taken
altogether this is one of the heaviest
business houses in the State, outside of
St. Paul, and the amount of business
transacted annually is astonishing.
The wagon stuff made at the Esdaile
mill goes all over the State, and is, of
itself, a very important item of the bus
mess of Red Wing.

A MIDDLETowN Comm compositor has
calculated that in the course of years
type-setting the average compositor will
set up more than Z 100000 separate pieces,
which, with their distribution, require
more than Il, 600, 900 motions of the hand.
DIR. WARREN, of Boston, once said that
that city sacrificed 800 babies every year
by not clothing their arms. Many babies
are improperly clothed. The arms are
exposed, the legs often, and thick band
age is frequently tightly drawn around
the abdomen. These errors in clothing
are almost as bad in their effects as the
errors of diet, especially in climate so
changeable as the American.
HERR KRUPP, the Prussian iron found
er, has discovered a means of utilizing
the Stag of iron furnaces by converting il
into "silicate cotton" to be used as cloth
ing for steam boilers and steam pipes, to
prevent loss of heat. A blast of steam,
water, or air Is forced into the stream of
Viscous Stag as it is run from the furnace,
when it assumes fibrous form and APP
pearance, somewhat similar 10 that of
spun glass. Having thus successfully ap-
piled it, and found it to be very con
venient way for utilizing the Stag from his
blastfurnances, Krupp has arranged for
its introduction into England.
THE number of letters and cards posted
in the United Kingdom in 1874 was L.
040, 900, 900, while Germany had sol ,204,-
474, and France 3G6, 500, 100. The dis.
proportion becomes more appreciable if
we compare the proportion of letters to
the population. While the epistles Of the
Britons numbered 80 8 to every member of
the population, those of Germany only
amounted to 14.4, and those of France to
| 1912. In the case of England there are
many causes for her position as the COM
pletest letter-writer. Not only has she
commercial correspondence in "happy
hayens under every sky" but her own
sons are scattered TO the four winds. To
her colonial empire will be sent not only
business letters, but thousands of missives
to settlers from those they have left be-
hind in the old home. In Italy only 3.S

A wealthy gentleman of Boston several
wears ago gave the editor of the Worces-
Ter Palladium a short narration of his
own experience. He had an income of
$4,000 year Ia large sum then, but not
considered so now, house in town, and
q country seat few miles out. He had
several Children coach, fine horses and
a driver, and took pleasure in riding ev-
cry day with his children.
One day, when riding, the thought
struck him that each one of his children
would expect to have a fine house, and
coach, and horses, and driver, as their
father had before them, and to live as
he lived. and if they did not they would
be unhappy. He did not think that all
of them could have things as he had
them, or live as he was living; and he
rode home, sent his coach and horses to
market and sold them, bought cheap
carryall, and became his own driver.
With emphasis he declared that no
amount of wealth could induce him to
return to his former mode of living, for if
any one of his children should chance to
be poor, as in all probability some of
them would be, they should not suffer in
their feelings by the reflection that their
father rode in his coach, while they had
to rough it on foot. The example he gave
them affords him satisfaction greater
than mis- wealth had to bestow.-Ohurch

Laying Up for the Children.

MANY an unwise parent labors hard and
lives sparingly all his life, for the pur-
pose of leaving enough to give his chill
dren "start in the world" as it is called.
Setting young man afloat with the
money left him by his relatives, is like
tying bladders under the arms of one who
cannot swim-ten chances To one he will
20 to the bottom. Teach him to swim,
and he will never need the bladders.
Give your child sound education, and
you have done enough for him. See that
his morals are pure, his mind cultivated,
and his whole nature made subseryient to
the laws which govern man, and you have
given what will be of more value than the
wealth of the Indies. To be thrown upon
one's resources, is to be cast into the very
lap of fortune, for our faculties then un-
dergo a development, and display an
energy of which they were previously in
susceptible.
Mr.. r., a wealthy man, retired from
business, was urged by friend to engage
In mercantile scheme, from which large
profits we're apparent. "You are right, "

What the Microscope Reveals.

LEwENBoEcK tells us of an insect seen
with the microscope, of which twenty
seven millions would only equal mite.
Insects of various kinds may be seen in
the cavities of grain of sand.
Mold is forest of beautiful trees, with
the branches, leaves and fruit.
Butterflies are fully feathered.
Hairs are hollow tubes.
The surface of our bodies is covered
with scales like fish; single grain OF
sand would cover 100 of these scales, and
vet a scale covers five hundred pores.
Through these narrow openings the per
spiratiOn forces itself like water in q
sieve.
Each drop of stagnant water contains q
world OF living creatures, swimming with
us much liberty as whales in the sea.
Each leaf has a colony of insects graz
ing on it, like cows on a meadow.
