LAND 81 l. I'm.


We noticed the fact last week that
Land Commissioner Drake and Sccreta-
ny G. w. Hubbard were in town
While on this trip they sold 900 acres
of land near Heron Lake to Col. G.. II.
Campbell, private Secretary to Gov.
Rice, of Massachusetts. The land will
be occupied by the purchaser next
spring and put under cultivation as
rapidly as possible.
The land department of the road is
jubilant over the prospect of large sales
and Il heavy influx of settlers next
spring. The vim and life manifested
by the st. Paul & Sioux City Company
during the past year is astonishing.
The appointment of J. II. Drake as
Land Commissioner was like attaching
alocomotive toa standing train. Every
thing moved off at once at regular rail
road speed. Then the advent Of the
Milwaukee & st. Paul among us ro,ls, d
the sleeping lion and he began to roar
all along the line from Duluth to Oma-
ha and next year through trains will lie
running from Lake Superior to the I'M
ion Pacific.
Another sensible movement made by
the Company is a revision of their town
lot system. They propose hereafter to
sell town lots at ;.bont one fifth their
appraised value to all who will build on
and improve the lots. This is done with
view to building up and improving
the towns.
At last the sleepy st. Paul s. Sioux
City is thoroughly awake and on the
rampage. Another Chicago railroad
reaching out over this country would
drive the st Paul & Sioux City into be-
ing one OF the most liberal, wde-awake
and impregnable railroads in the coun-
try. 1t is already great Trunk line, in
fact, the one distinctiv+ly solid and i'm
Portant trunk line Of this great new
Northwest, and we expect before very
long to see trains from San Francisco
rolling past our Okabena Lake and
whirling away to st. Paul and the lakes
without giving Chicago q thought
The Mankato Free Press now runs
its Presses with water from the city
water main. Ii uses the Backus Water
Motor and says that it's Presses are
running easily and smoothly.

last week in the t"!"grap!:ic reports,
the downfall of two or three other

to this one Irresistible system of gam

that has rnincd so many trusted and

lie sentiment as we'll as the provisions

But this style of gambling is sup.
posed to be legitimate. In all the large
cities this class Of gambler stands at
the head Of the business class, while
his family leads in society, and the
wealthy churches are supported largely
fror the proceeds Of such gambling.
{ n the other hand, the common gam.
bier who USES cards and dice, instead
OF options, is taboeed socially, punished
10y law. and written down by the press.
The lottery gambler is also followed by
law anda system Of espionage estab,
ls'led over tile United States mails to
prevent the delivery of lottery circu-
lars and letters. The difference is not
one of principle but Of responsibility.

q little girl Of about eight years Of
age, apparently belonging to good
family, rings at the door of DR..

had to deliver message, the servant
shows her into the study Of the pro-

asks after her errand. The child

WHAT rAnmERs sUCCEED.

That farmer will succeed who makes
up his mind that the whole secret of
success lies in himself that it is the
man and not the business that tells.
He win succeed If he brings to bear the
same amount Of force, foretheueht econ
omy and Judgment that any other
branch Of business requires. He viii
succeed if he sticks as close to the farm
as the mechanic does to bis shop, and
not expect to work three or four mouths
and then take his ease for the rest of
the year. That farmer will succeed
who takes the papers, and digests what
he reads, and is not afraid Of new ideas
and new methods of industry. He
will succeed if it is his intention that
whatever he sends to market shall be
the very best, and so made up and put
up thats.when seen it will be captivat-
ing for its freshness cleanliness and pu-
rity, and will unhesitatingly be taken
on account of his well known character
for honesty of weight, measure and
count. These who have farms may
think themselves fortunate, ,for, although
they will not thereby find reads to sud-
den wealth, they win certainly prove
that persistent farm labor will bring q
sure reward. It is worthy of notice
that the adventurer and speculator,
with blasted hopes and shattered health
and fortune, have in the end to come
back to the farm for health and safety.
Agriculture is the basis Of natural
strength and wealth, and most Ger.
