Mille Laos.

j. P. Owens, Of the Taylor's Falls
land office, IN a letter to the Pioneer
Press, calls attention to the fact that
ON the northern shore Of Mile Laos
lake-one of the largest inland lakes
in Minnesota-is an excellent opening
for a large and prosperous settlement
Of farmers. Ie adds: s.There is al
most exclusively a heavy growth of
hard maple, oak, Eastwood, ETC., such
timber as never grows upon any but
the best soil for agricultural purposes.
The surface is dry and the soil is OF
just such character as is found in the
''big woods in the counties of Wright.
Carver, LIE Seur, etc, and in the
thickly settled portions Of Chisago.'
Mr.. Owens might have added that
Mile Laos is the prettiest lake in the
state, with beautiful gravel shores
destined to be, ere long one OF the
most attractive summer resorts in the
country. Its waters team with fish
the year around, it is near railroad
and a good market at Brainerd, gooc
wagon road already leads to it from
this place. and we certainly know o
no place possessing the variety Of at
fractions to the settler afforded b,
this section. Mr.. Owens adds, tina
not so much as two whole sections ii
the vicinity named have been taken
and expresses surprise that this regio
has been overlooked. We may ais
state that the Northern Pacific Rail
road company has numerous lands
this vicinity still unsold obtainable a
very low rates--less than ST 90 pc
acre. The opening Of a settlement 0
these lands is confidently expected tn
coming season.--BYaineyd Tribune.

The reform club meeting on Tines.

The reform club meeting on Tues
day was one of the largest ever held
in Princeton; Rev. Mr.. Norris of An
Okla, Mr.. Robert Hasty aud DR.. Frost
of Minneapolis, were the speakers.
MIR. Norris is a very fluent and fore.
ible speaker, he talked good common
sense; MIR, Robert Hasty, although
not as eloquent as Mr.. Norris made a
very neat speech and was listened to
attentively; DR.. Frost has been used
to speaking in public. and Of course,
his discourse was what could have been
expected from a polished orator, he
wildly depicted the evils resulting
from the use of intoxicating liquors,
and paid a high compliment to Fran.
els Murphy the noted temperance
lecturer. DR.. Frost told the temper.

we should thing it would be rather an

STANLEY MATTHEW'S IN TROUBLE

WAsIrNGTOS, June 1O.-Stanley Mat
rhews came near losing his committee in
the senate, to-day. First senator Ed
munds asked to be excused from serving
on it on account Of his health. Then
senator David Davis, who had pressing
business engagements and IL special OBJ
lection to Washington in hot weather,
land also pleaded sickness in his family
and inability to remain here after the ad-
jOurnlnent Of Congress. Senator Jones
of Florida in turn asked to be excused.
There was no objection, and all were eX-
cused. BY this time Stanley Matthews
was very much troubled. 1t looked as
though he would DC unable to get COM
mittee. There w?s Il hurried consulta-
tion with his friends. One Democrat af-
ter another WAS asked whether he would
consent to serve on the committee, and
every one objected, begged to be excused,
and declared they could not and would
not. If Stanley could not yet II commit
tee of senators to- investigate him he
would have no sort of an eXuse for de-
clining to appear before the House Com
mittcc. That was very unp pleasant pre-
dicamcnt to be left in. He did not dare
to face the House committee, and he
would have to do it if he did not get (,
senate committee. Senator Allison of
Iow;. interested himself ON behalf of Mat
tllews, and finally persuaded Whyte and
Jones to consent to serve. Tho motion
to reconsider was eDtcred, and there was
no objection made. Matthews gets his
committees, but two other vacancs arc
yet to be filled.
Meantime he is served with a subpoe-
na from the House committee. lie has
not been subpoenacd by the Senate com.

taken on a variety of forms in differ

achieved even partial success the re-

portion Of the Democratic vote. In
such cases the Democrats have
abandoned their standard, hard

particular feature of this many-head-
