A trighttul accident occurred near Brad
ford Monday morning. Two men took a
hundred pounds of nitro-glycerine in a
sleigh to carry it to ColeVille; the sleigh
upset four miles out of the city. One OF
the men was thrown fifty feet and instantly
killed The other escaped death in singu-
lar manner. hole was torn in the frozen
road bed 20 feet in length and Is in width.
In this excavation he was found covered
with debris, but still alive. His escape
from Instant death is regarded as almost
miriclc. The sleigh was blown to atoms,
and both horses were killed. A one-Story-
and-a-halfframe building, fifty feet tdis ant ,
was shaken to pieces by the cOncnssion.
A woman was sitting in the house at the
time but escaped serious injury. \ large
frame dwelling house, five rods away, was
completely wrecked but did not fall. \
woman and six children were in the build
ing at the time, but suffered no further in
jury than Il terrible shock. Windows,

We learn from the New York papers
that the healthful and inSpiriting amuse-
ment of archery is being revived in that
city and will be kept up with viSor as
the season advances.
The first of a series of archery meet
ings of the New York Club was held in the
drill room of the Ninth Regiment Armory,
in East TwentysiXth street, last week.
There was i good muster of ladies and
gentlemen, the former competing for the
monthly prize which consisted of choice
edition of ''Thompson's Witchery of Arch
ery," which was won by Mrs. De Luna
with a score of 1854. Miss Morton was
second having made 329 points. The
prize for which the stcrncr sex cOntcnded
was q badge of honor-a blue and gold
ribbon-which was carried off by Mr..
Breeze, who scored $50, followed by Mr..
Sutton, who made 45O points. The club
promises to be most successful, and
matches with the Oritani ArCherS, OF
Hackensack, N. Y, and the Axham Arch
er,s Of Williamsburg, are announced to
come off shortly. Practice meetings are
held in qhe armorp every Saturday night
by permission Of Colonel Rydner.

THE SENATORIAL QUESTION.

The Senatorial question which
seemed few weeks since definately
settled in favor of Mcmillan has been
opened or stirred up afresh in the
last two weeks, and interested parties
have set their interviewers to work
to feel the public pulse. Thus far
outside of Rice county, preferences
expressed are for Senator Mcmillan
or ex-senator Ramsey, against whose
private and public character for the
past twenty-five years in Minnesota
and several preceding years in Penn
sylvania, nothing can be alleged.
Some Of his friends claim that he was
defeated in his previous contest when
Mcmillan was elected, by means not
very creditable to the politicians con.
cerned in the struggle, and they pro-
pose to avenge the wrong done him
then, 10y electing him now, though it
was not claimed by Senator Ramsey
or his friends that Senator Mcmillan
was at all instrumental in instigating
or organizing the opposition to Sena-
tor Ramsey, but was supported by
many of RamSey's friends rs COM
promise candidate to defeat the
Cush Davis cabel and elect Senator
whose record was rs unquestionable
rs was that of Senator Ramsey, and
whose election would reflect no dis.
credit on the Republican party.
The same restless, aspiring, coterie
of demagogues who conceived and
organized the fight six years ago are
doubtless the instigators of the pres.
emt move, ostensibly in Ramsey's in.
tcrest, but really in hopes that the
electric lluid may strike one of the
restless spirits of mischief that are
continually plotting schemes at the
capitol city of the state for their own
advancement, and not one of whom
in life time could secure the public
respect. confidence and influence at
home or in the council chambers of
the nation that either the present
Senator or his predecessor have.
But we don't think their little
scheme can prove successful. Sena-
tor Mcmillan has proven himself the
peer of his justly esteemed predeces-
soy in al the essential qualities re
quircd 10 make Senator worthy to
represent the people of Minnesota in
the highest Legislative body in the
national council chamber and the good
sound sense of the people Of the state
through their representatives in the
state legislature will give To Senator
Mcmillan the well earned endorse.

1t must indeed be exceedingly fiat

II this Is not world Of progress
what is iti And to verify this we have
only to refer to the Christmas edition
Of the Chicago Times and Inter Ocean.
The Times printed 10000 sheets of
twenty pages each, or l40 columns,
containing $500, 900 types and spaces
All of this work WAS done in the
short space of fourteen hours. 1t
consumed twelve and one half tons of
white paper and over 400 pounds of
ink to print 1t. If the sheets OF this
edition were laid singly In line they
would reach from Mankato to Duluth
on the North or way beyond the coal
fields of Iowa on the South, in other
words they would cover distance of
two hundred miles.
The Inter Ocean contained sixteen
pages of liz columns, with contribu-
tions from nearly all the eminent
workers in the literary and political
field. Either one of these editions
is worthy Of the age in which we
live.
