MEDIUM FOR NATIVE WRITER'S

(From the Minneapolis Spectator, Oct. ~
We need not apologize for the space
given this week to all article on James
G. Clark. lie is not only connected
with this paper, but is one of our citi-
Z-ns, and it is wei. that the cul -ivated
people of Minnesota should know and
appreciate those whose rhythmical pro-
ducticns will hereafter form a most
important part Of the literature of the
State. Not long since Mr.. Clark intro
'luced to the public, through the SPEC
TATOR, Mr.. A. p. Miller, Of Worthing-
ton, as Il poet of rare excellence, and
now we take the opportunity to present
Mr.. Hopkins estimate Of Mr.. Clark,
with some choice selections from his
poems. We expect, ere long, to place
before our readers the productions of
other Minnesota writer's of choice prose
and poetry. We shall he glad to make
the SPECTATOR the medium through
which native talent shall become recog-
nized and appreciated.
The liveliest newspaper fight in the
state is in progress in Worthington,
between Miller, Of the Advance, and
Ogle, OF the Journal. Judging from Il
distance. Miller seems to have his op-
! ponent where there is the scantiest
growth of capillary adornment and is
making the fur fly at every dig. Miller
has been prosecuted by his fellow towns
men for several years past for publish
ing one Of the sQuarest-toed independ-
ent papers in the state and this is the
first attempt he has ever made to get
even.-Lake City Leader.
Don't you believe word of that, Mr..
Leader. The ADVANCE has been even
and ahead all the time, except as to
personalities, and in these it won't be
outdone either when they become abso-
lutely necessary.
''Chickens,' sometimes, ''come home
to roost," and the advice which the Pi-
oneer Press gave the ''scratchers" last
fall, to erase Charley Gilman's name
from the Republican State ticket, is
now being followed by the independent
Republicans Of the first district, in re-
gard to Mr.. Dunnell. There is as much
reason for the one as the other, and the
Pioneer Press may learn that the peo-
pie who scratched last fall are likely to
d it again. despite the change of mind
and heart the great central organ has
undergone since then.-Mankato Re-
view.

The Household.
Ironing Made Easy.

Some time since / received letter from
M housekeeper, in which she gave her
method of ironing. and / would like to give
her plan, which have tried and proved ex-
cellent. The washing is all put through the
wringer as smooth and evenly as possible,
and each piece is given sharp snap before
hanging Oh the line. When nearly or quite
dry they are taken carefully off and put into
the basket; the lighter articles in the bottom
and the heavier ones laid across the top.
All are then Immediately folded to cores
pond to the size of sheet doubled to one
eight of its length and one-fourth its width.
Small articles like towels and pillcw-cases
are packed in side by side, while kitchen
aprons, shirts, underclothing, etc., are laid
in a neat pile. If anything is badly wrink-
led, l dampen slightly; this done put them
under heavy press, and leave day or two,
care being taken that they do not mildew. I
then unpack and air thoroughly. A ''critic"
called while l was unpacking the first l
treated in this way, and she said they did
not look at all slovenly. Of course there are
many things which must be ironed, such as
white aprons, table linen, fine white shirts,
collars and cuffs; but those which can be
folded away will give considerable relief
from the hard work of ironing. Prevention
Is better than cure" and let us apply that
maxim to our daily life. One white apron
win answer for the afternoon of whole
week, If care Is exercised and large brown
apron is tied over when preparing tea. Plain
ones, or those trimmed with lace or Ham
burg edging, are quite as pretty and much
more easily ironed than those with more in
tricate ruffling and nuting. White skirts
are nice when ruffled and tucked, as we all
know, but anyone who dislikes the ironing
board finds little pleasure in wearing them.
Plain ones with simple edgings are nice,
but economic still further by wearing COL
ored skirts whenever possible. With little
care, the husband can wear fine shirt two
or three times, and save his wife usually
dreaded task.-Country Gentleman.

A Remarkable Corn Crop.


Tho Maine Farmer vouches for the accu-
racy Of the following account of crop of
corn raised last season by F. B. Maxim, of
Wayne, Me-.
Mr.. Maxim is a competitor for the three
premiums offered by the Kepnebec Agricul-
tural Society, viz; On two acres, an acre
and half an acre, and his field was measured
and arranged accordingly. He took one acre
of the land planted to corn last year, and
broke up an acre of sward ground to COM
plete the two acres. The soil was deep
gravelly. somewhat inclining to a sandy,
loan. The sward was plowed to medium
depth, and ten cords of composted stable
and hog manure and muck spread upon it
and cultivated in. The other acre had been
subjected to the same treatment last year.
The entire two acres were checked off into
rows, with the marker, three feet apart each
way. The corn was planted the 18th and
18th days OF May, and was cultivated five
times during the season. No hand hoe was
used In the field after the corn was planted.
The cultivator each time was brought close
to the corn. r.f
The corn wss harvested the week before
the September election, and the yield of
shelled corn was as follows: On one acre
one hundred and eleven bushels; on one
half acre ffty-four, and on the other fifty -six
bushels, making two hundred and twenty
one bushels of dry, shelled corn on two acres
of land. There was a small fraction Of a
bushel over in each of the three measure
ments, which was not taken into account
in reaching the aggregate. Mr.. Maxim
thinks bis corn cost him between twenty and
twents-one cents per bushel.

The History of the Key West
Cigar.

lNs L llmtS.l
Ten years ago, during the Cuban civil strife,
numbers of Hayanese cigarmakers left the
island. Some intelligent and enterprsing
northern cigar manufacturers utilized the OPP
portunity and established large cigar factories
at Key West, employing the Cuban workmen.
For material, as good stock as could be bought
in the way of leaf was brought over from Gu
ba and made into cigars in these Key West
factories. Gradually the business became
very profitable one, for the cigars were not
only we'll made, but were OF good flavor.
They we're made of the same leaf as was used
in Havana, and were manufactured by the
same workmen. But gradually, not satisfied
with legitimate profit, some of the Key West
houses began making cigars into which
the least quantity of Cuban tobacco entered,
the major part of the stock being derived from
the United States. The quality of the goods
steadily deprecated, while the original name
of Key West cigars was attached to them. OF
course there could be no law enacted to pre-
vent it. As Key West was in the United
States, Pennsylvania or Kentucky or Connec-
ticut tobacco could be made into cigar
there and it was still Key West cigar But
the iobbing houses, like the public, were
quick enough to find out the difference, for to-
day Key West cigar, with very few excep-
lions, is looked upon by the general smoking
public with very iustifable suspicion. 1t is
just one of those cases which illustrates the
wellknown fable-that of the killing of the
goose which laid the golden egg.

A Splendid Surgical o pcrat ion-Smccessfu
Result and Wonderful Recovery.

SURGICAL CHARACTERISTIC operation of litho-
tony removal of stone from the bladder, one of
the most severe and critical operations known to the
science of surgery, was successfully performed on
Tuesday upon Mr.. Henry H. Pitts merchant of
this city, by DIR. David Kennedy Several friends of
the patient witnessed the operation. Mr. Pitts has
suffered several years from this difficulty, but it
was only week before the operation that he was
made aware of the real cause of his complaint.
RECOMMENDING. Henry H. Pitts has recovered
from the effects incident to the operation the clos
ing of the wound being completed on the 18th day.
His general health is good-better than it has been
years. while he is perfectly free from all those dis
ressng symptoms characteristic of the disease with
which he suffered Had this and similar cases used
DR.. Kennedy's ''Fayorite Remedy" in the early
stages of the complaint the formation of would
have been prevented ''Favorite Remedy also puri-
