form than Miss Scott's. In carriage
she is at once easy and graceful.
Her face in some respects reminds
one of the late Adelaide Nelson ; it
is fair as the lilies, and the cheeks
are tinged with a delicate pearly
pink. Her features are strikingly
regular and classical, and of the
Grecian type, save, perhaps, the
nose, which curves slightly from
the aquiline, and verges upon what |
is generally termed the American
feminine nose. Her lips are full |
and expressive, of a bright vermil- |
lion tinge, and when severed by a
smile reveal a double row of teeth
that are TYPICAL in their regularity
and dazzling whiteness. Her eyes
are large and full, of a dark-broWn
color. With varying emotions

On last Sunday a little two-year

of Yellow creek, Dickson county,
was missed from tie house by its
mother who began a search for the
little fellow, and on going out to
the creek, which runs near, she no
ticed the little boys two pet dogs
standing on the brink looking in

them but they paid no attention to
her. She then looked along the
edge of the water and discovered
the child's tracks in the sand. She
Immediately called to her assistance
some neighbors who after short
search, found the body about three
hundred yards below where he had
fallen into the water, lodged in a
mass of roots and brush. The child
had been missed from the house but
a few minutes before it was found
dead.

MINNESOTA STATE FAIR.
Secretary Judson Secures q Big Exhibit
From Wisconsin.


,Wadena Democrat, 1st.]
R. C. Judson, Secretary of the Minnesota
Agricultural society, who has been here
the guest of Alderman Curtis and r. Ogilvie,
has secured one of the largest and best exhib-
its ever gotten up by any county in the West,
for his annual fair, to be held in Rochester,
Minnesota, consisting of twelve car loads.
The paincipal exhibitors arc Dexter Curtis,
R. Ogilive, VIM. C. Kiser, Judge Geo. E. Bry-
ant Dr. VIM. Fox, j. G. Kiser, G. Clark, Geo.
Wylie and others. These importers and breed
ers are second to none in the West.
The exhibit consists of trotting and draft
horses; Sho Horn and Jersey cattle; Cots
wood and Shropshire sheep; Berkshire and
Poland China hogs. The most of this stock
are imported and bred from imported stock.
The parties names are well known through
out the entire West as prominent breeders and
importers, and the people of Minnesota are to
be congratulated on getting such fine display,
and the farmers of the State will have one OF
the very best opportunities to secure from
these gentlemen some Us fine stock as can be
found anywhere, and as the fair is located on
the line of the Chicago q Northwestern rail-
road, and as there will be reduction of rail
road fare at that time, We hope that this State,
particularly this section, will attend the fair
and meet the representative men and farmers
of our sister State.
The efforts to get this stock has arisen from
exhibits heretofore made by the stock
breeders of Dane county at The Minnesota
State fairs. Judge Geo. E. Bryant, Dexter
Curtis, R. OgiIvie, VIM. Kiser, and othere are
well known in Minnesota. AS also the fast
trotting team of. Mr.. Curtis. Lady Hess
and mate, which has also been secured and
will make it interesting to the boys, as they
did last year.
Dane county may well be proud of its
stock and breeders and we congratulate them
on being able to make such successful ex-
hibit as to attract the attention of other

with passing counterfeit money. The principal
witness was streetcar driver named Peter

dollar counterfeit coin.
The coin was passed last Tuesday right,
when Cody jumped on a Fourth street car and
rendered the coin, which is very bad imita-

He was before United States Commissioners

Mankato Review, May
We understand that consultation of lead
ing Republican politicians was held at ST.
Paul last week, to form combination
to be directed, as to the gubernatorlal nomi-
nation. Among the leading characters present
were Mr.. Dunnell of this Congressional dis
trict, Gen. Hubbard, of Red Wing, Gen. San
born, ex Governor Marshall and Capt Castle,
of St. Paul, besides less prominent friends of
these several gentlemen. Ex-Gov. Davis was
not present, being engaged professionally, but
he is understood to have given the consultation
his hearty endorsement, and will cooperate in
carrying out its conclusions. Gen. Hubbard
was agreed upon as the candidate for COVER
nor, and is to be supported by the combina-
ton.
It seems that the gentlemen thus assembled
looked beyond this falls election, and agreed
10 support Mr.. Dunnell for the United State
Senate two years hence, as against Gen. Edger
ton aud the field. The st. Paul Dispatch is
the organ of this combination, and under its
new management is expected to become the
recognized organ of the Republican party.
Gen. Hubbard is popular gentleman in all
sections of the State, but the fact that he has
allied his fortune with the parties named will
detract from his strength and array against
him men who might otherwise support him.
The contract which the st. Paul gentlemen
have entered into to deliver that city and the
State over to the parties named, will be diff
cult one to perform-certainly not without a
big fight.

repaid to the government for the trans
portation of mails, etc., the sum of $14,
256, 33S, and IN cash under the provisions
of the Thurman bill, $685., 1913, being five
per cent of their net earnings for one
year. This leaves the Indebtedness of the
companies to the government at the pres
ent time S99, 52S,566
The government having guaranteed
the principal and interest of these
bonds, will have to pay them.
The companies have long been making
money, but as they have grown in wealth
have manifested an increasing indisposi-
ton to pay their obligations to the gov
ernment. For long time they refused
to allow. the government the amount
earned by the transportation of the mails,
insisting upon their right to cash pay
ment for such service. They also object
ed to the Thurman law which compelled
them to pay INTO the treasury five per
cent. of their net earnings towards the
liquidation of their Indebtedness, and it
was only after protracted contest in the
supreme court that they complied with
its provisions The bonds will soon ma
ture, when the companies will endeavor
to compel their payment by the United
States government, and will no doubt
succeed.
We are now coming face to face with
one of the evils of the subsidy system.
We have rail connection with the Pacific
coast, which would have been obtained
by private enterprise if the government
had refused to assist the scheme. As it
was, the credit of the government was
loaned to the corporation with the
distinct understanding that both
the principal and interest of the
bonds should be paid by the companies.
Though for years past the companies
have been paying dividends upon their
stock, they have manifested no willing
ness to discharge their obligations to the
government, but have succeeded, by
lavish expenditure of money, in packing
the supreme court with judges who have
been their paid employees with the evil
dent determination of saddling the gov
eminent with the payment of the whole
amount of the pledge, principal and
interest. 1t will cost the people of the
country clear hundred millions for the
Union and Central Pacific railroads. 1t
is questionable if the compensation will
be equivalent to the cost.
