To Our Grand Meadow Friends.

We have transferred our
subscription list to the Austin TRAN

necessarily feel the want of county pa
per, and we think the TRANSCRIPT ably
fills that want. We trust our subscribers
will extend to that paper the same regard
which we f1atter ourselves they have here
tofore felt for the NATURALIZATION
Number Of Grand Meado,o Nelcs.
We are glad to make the acquaintance
of these new friends, and extend them q
friendly greeting. We add to our list
from this source about two hundred and
fifty names. We are making arrangements
for an extensive and permanent depart.
ment for Grand Meadow, so that her inter.
ests may not, in any way. be neglected.
We shall endeavor TO give the news of
Grand Meadow as faithfully as though we
were residents Of the village, and " e
doubt not the TRANSCRIPT will be of even
greater interest and benefit than has been
the Neus, for the reason that Grand Mead.
ow subscribers will not only receive a
full and complete record of the news OF
their own town, but Of the county at large,
and much more complete than any local pa.
per in The county outside of Austin could
possibly give.
1t may be some two or three weeks be.

and we ask our friends to give US little
time. We are not only determined to
keep our paper up to its present standard,
but 10 materially improve it.

Edison's Electric Light.

On New Years eve, Edison's laboratory
was thrown open to the general public for
their examination and criticism of his
electric light. There were lighted twenty.
five electric lamps in the laboratory, ten
In his Office and counting room and
twenty more in the street and adjoining
houses, and these lamps subjected to va
riety Of tests. One WAS placed by Edison
in large glass jar filled with water, and
the current turned on, the little paper a.
ament throwing out Its customary illum.
ination without dilninution, and which
continued burning for several hours.
Skepticism was good deal shaken as The
bright and beautiful flame wlthstood the
tests. Prof. Haskins, of Milwaukee, how.
ever, who is one of the leading scientists
of the country end who is leading author
lty for the west, quite severly criticises
this invention, and claims that it cannot
be economically practicable. He says:
1.-THE cost is not manly in the lamp, in
the cost of carbon for incandescence, but
in the cost of fuel which runs the engine.
With the electric light you can not get
nearly as much as jet would give-to
get this much you must use power that
will give . much greater light; to get any
light you must get a great deal (about 200
candle power) and this costs too much. y
When competent men of science inves.
tigate and endorse these claims OF Mr.. Ed.
ison, we shall DO ready to advise our
friends to purchase stock, but until then
We quietly wait IN ''blissful ignorance"
for developments.

AUSTIN, MINNESOTA:
Special Announcement.


We take pleasure in announcing that
we have made arrangements with the
publisher Of the Chicago Weekly Ne,cs
which enables US to offer that paper to
our subscribers as a premium, at no ad-
ditional cost over the regular subscrip-
ton price of the TRANSCRIPT, viz: 81.
For one subscription price we thus
furnish our subscribers with two papers
a metropolitan and home weekly. BY
this arrangement our readers are placed
in command Of the whole situation. All
events Of interest, local, national and
foreign will be presented, completely and
promptly, by the one or the other of these
two publications. The single feature of
full and trustworthy Chicago market
quotations will be worth, to many Of our
readers, the entire subscription price.
To those who are not familiar with the
character Of the Chicago Neps, we would
say it is the best representative of indie
pendent journalism in the West. The
Weekly Neus is large eight column folio,
'cram full" Of telegraph and general
news, short and pithy editorials on the
topics of the day, written IN familiar,
yet incisive style, and in all its depart:
ments evidently aims to give facts in few
words, without the verbiage and fine
writing which render so many of the
large metropolitan journals "a WEAKNESS
to the flesh" Facts, not words, appear
to be its mstto.
The Chicago Weekly Ne,es will be sent,
post paid, for one year, t, every one OF
our subscribers who pays his subscrip-
ton account in full to. date and one year
in advance.
This means just what it says-the CAi-
cago Weekly Ne,es one year for nothing.
Send in your subscriptions.
cEThis offer is open 10 all, old aud new
subscribers alike, and will hold good
until May list, and no longer, under any
circumstances Those who wish to take
advantage of it must do so before that
