AL tnaG Qay we lay nlQQen IN Inc WOODS.
The food and rest did W. so much good that
we felt sure in twenty-four hours we should
be able to start.
SIN the course of the day we saw the old
colored people leave their hut, for we always
had one man watching, even when we
thought ourselves in safe place and we
were really so ungrateful as to think that
they might have gone to betray us, but dur

with good deal of curiosity, and saw that
she was gradually edging nearer and nearer
to the entrance of the wood, the cart-path
which led to the old still. When she reached
the opening she looked cautiously around
and then came up to me, for had recog-
nized her at length as the old negress with
whom we passed the night, and had gone to

the railroad bond question, says:
In consequence Of the construction
of these roads the State has more than
quadrupled it's population, and though
it has been for years in the enjoyment
of the material wealth and prosperity
consequent upon the use it made of the
rOadbeds built with the money Of the
bondholders it has still refused to pay
the bonds on one frivolous pretext or
another. And now, after tile lapse of
nineteen years the utmost its I4egisla-
ture proposes to pay is fifty cents on
the dollar of the debt, and though it is
so arranged, by the devotion of I, wind
fall Of 500, 600 acres of select State lands
to the payment Of the interest and prin-
cipal, that it will probably cost the peo-
pie nothing in the long run to pay even
this m0iety of the debt, the chances are
in our judgment, that the people will
vote down the proposition. If what
we have stated is true, it follows that
the State in its sovereign capacity has
for eighteen years set an example OF
wilful and fragrant dishonesty to all It's
citizens, and that every citizen, who,
knowing the facts, deliberately votes H.
g;linst the payment of the bonds, is a
party to al act OF public robbery. And
there is not al intelligent citizen of
Minnesota who has ever looked into
the question who does not know that
we have stated the exact truth.

DOES SHEEP GROWING PAY?

day he has 81 ,G47 sheep of all ages worth
81 60 per head, or u total of ~$lO1, O1O.
His receipts for wool during this time
have been 1872 1866 and his expenses
S45,747 20. Add to the latter the first
cost and expenses of wintering first
and it makes SIS, 1890, which deduct

sold leaves his total profit in ten years
$233 ,1S4 s..
by crossing the native ewes with long
wooded rams he was enabled to raise
the average annual clip from to lbs. ,
and the price from 80 to Al cents.
The quality Of the wethers being cor
respondingly increased. the price Of
them also rose from So to S. per head,

THE GOLDEN CHAIN OF PRAYER.
l had drunk with lips unsated
At the fount where pleasures burst
had hewn out broken cisterns
But they Knocked my spirits thirst.
Then said life is a desert,
Hot and measureless and dry,
And God will not give me water
Though thirst and faint and die.
Spake there then friend and brother,
s.'Arise and roll the stone away,
There are wells of water hidden
In thy pathway every day."
Then l said, my heart is sinful,
Very sinful is my speech,
All the wells of God s salvation
Are too deep for me to reach"
Spake he then, "Arise and labor,
Doubt and idleness are death,
Shape thee out Il goodly vessel
With the strong hand of thy faith"
Then wrought and shaped a vessel
And bent lowly kneeling there,
And drew up living water
With the Golden Chain of Prayer.

Humboldt County Monday morning.
Mr.. Smart is bent on the extension OF

had an extended conference on the SUBJ

Monday met president Taft and others
OF Humboldt. At a recent election on
the question of aiding this road, Web
ster City voted against it.. The plan
now developing is to strike Fort Dodge

to the Minnesota line. The plan is =.
good one and doubtless ere long the
people along the proposed ro:te will he
called upon to determine it's adoption.

The coal tar hoppertlozer seems to he
taking the lead. A correspondent of
the Pioneer-Press, writing from Will
mar, says:
Grassh0ppers are very plenty in this
county and are still 4iatching. From
many tests made during last week the
people are satisfied that the sheet iron
machine covered with coal tar is the
best thing yet invented with which to
catch and destroy these young ones.
It is so cheap rs IT, he within tile reach
Of even the poorest farmer, and so ca
ger are they to procure outfits that it is
impossible to keep supply enough in
hand to fill the demand. The tar is ten
cents per gallon and the sheet iron fifty
cents to one dollar Il machine. Twen-
tty-five barrels of tar and 800 machines
have already been sold ut Willmar, and
the business has but just commenced.
Nobody says of him, ''He's asnorter!'
He's keen one!'' ''Put him in our
load to make fun for the roosters!''
But lie commands the respect of the pub

tographer, OF this city, took the pic
ture of i little boy aged. about three
years, and whose parents reside in Eyo-
ta, when, directly. below the head of the
picture the forms of two infants were
developed, one of them with remarka-
ble distinctness. Tie little arms of
the infant most plainly shown are ex-
tended upwards, the hands in the act
of embracing the boy around the neck.
MIR. Proud utterly disclaimls any pur-
pose or the intentional use of any ma
terial or preparation in the process of
taking the little boys picture to pro-
duce amy other than ordinary results,
and yet the baby forms are there, as we
can attest, having inspected the pic
ture for ourselves (Minn.)

We understand our friend Chidley,
of Graham Lakes, is about to to open a

and if he will just learn the knack of
