A Statement.

ST. PAUL, November Herman
Haupt, late general manager OF the
Northern Pacific railroad, has made
public statement in which he defends
himself from the charges of extrava-
gance in the management Of the road.
He charges that no such thing was ever
mentioned until the recent raid in Wall
street upon Willard stocks. He express
es great admiration for Willard and
Oakes, and says their relations are very
friendly. Beyond this his card contains
very little that is new or that was not
reported in the interview with the asso-
ciated press agent on Thursday.

A Brutal Policeman.

NEW YORK, November 4.-Policeman
VIM. Conroy Saturday night brought IN
to the 21st street police station house
prisoner named Peter Keenan,, a furni-
ture mover, "a years Old Keenan's
head was covered with blood flowing
from 10. caused by the policeman's
club, s,esI in the abdomen was bullet
wound% -eenan was removed to the
hospitalSSyd died soon after. Policeman
Conroy stsaed that he arrested keenan,
for being drunk and disorderly5 and
that mob assaulted him and THAT IN
self defense he was obliged to use bis
club and revolver. Conroy was placed
under arrest From information OBJ
tanned by detectives and the statement
of witnesses at the coroner's prelimi-
nary examination, it appeals that Con-
roy had been drinking heavily; that in
the liquor. saloon at 322 East Goth street
he assaulted several persons without
cause and finally attacked Keenan,, who
was quietly standing near the bar, in
terfering neither with the policeman
nor anyone else. After shooting Keen
an without warning the policemanara
ged him from the saloon and clilbbed
him long after he had become lncon-
scious. Conroy made several contradic-
| tory statements about the matter.

Ma1den's S Mills.

The long looked for starting of the
Collar mill at Maiden occurred at
O'Clock precisely the morning of the 1st
of November-last Thursday. The 70
huge stamps then started up their eter-
nal clatter, which we hope will not be
stopped for many a long day. Every
thing worked like charm, and we see
no reason why, with first class mill
and plenty Of good high grade ore, the
Collar mining and milling company
should not be financial, dividend pay
ing success from the very start of the
huge stamps The mill was started to
work on low grade ore as there will be
more or less loss of ore, on the start. The
salt and quicksilver for which they have
been waiting ever since the 10th Of Octo-
Der arrived on Friday, the day after the
machinery was set in motion. About
100 men are employed at the mill and
mine, SO anyone can see they will be
big help in making good quartz camp
out of Maiden. The RIVER PRESS
wishes the mill success and the owners
certainly deserve it for the enterprise
and nerve they have shown in the de-
yelopment of the Collar mine and the
erection of costly 100000 mill.
The Montana mill shut down last
Wednesday, the day before the Collar
mill started up, and will probably
remain closed for the winter. This mill
has always had plenty Of good ore to
work on and during October crushed $50
tons of rich quartz, turning out nearly
$9, 900 worth Of bullion during the month
with net profit, after deducting all
running expenses, of $1,000, which is
certainly a good financial showing:
Only "a per cent. of the gold was saved

The Indian Reservation.

CHAMBERLAIN, Dakota, Oct. pa
private letter received to-day from III. u.
Dawes, of Massachusetts,, who is chair
man of the senate committee to visit the
Sioux reservation, says in, reference to
the newspaper and other statements
that the committee has reported against
the Sioux treaty, that the reports must,
in the nature of the case, be without the
slightest foundation. He further says :
/" { think the commission were I'M

should be reduced, but speak for only
one. The indications now point to an
amicable settlement Of the differences
Of opinion between the senate commits
sion, the Sioux commission, and the sec
retary of the interior, by which q large
portion of the reservation will be thrown
open this winter. They seem to agree
that it should be done, and it is to be
hoped that personal differences will be
left out of the question:

The Lady Driver.

A lady driver is good thing to have

by the pangs Of remorseless love ana
are away out on an open prairie ana no
one is nigh to run into Your rig ana
scrape off wheel. It is different IN
crowded city, We can't tell you why
it is, but it is corpse-like fact that a
woman with pair OF lines on crowd
ed street can raise more Gehenna than
seventy-tive Texas steers out for 10
man holiday She will block uu the
street and take it as coolly as polar
bear. Modesty forbids you upbraiding
her, but you-that is, if you are man
would like to pull off her bangs and
hear her squeal. The only safe way for
a woman that drives is to turn her loose
in a forty acre lot with padded fence
corners Women can drive men, but
somehow their influence stops just this
side of the horse. A great many Wo-
men think they can drive horse SIM
ply because he moves in obedience to
their whip, but this is no more the sign
of driving than "a paper collar IS the
sign of boiled Shirt AWoman might
scare hyena and make him run, but
that would not be driving him, no more
than it is driving a horse when he IS
scared and runs away

Put q Brand on Him.

Women are a necessary evil, he
said, bringing down his fist hard up
on the counter to emphasize the
heartless remark. 1t was III the VII
lage store at West Milton, Saratoga
county, and the speaker was the CEN
tral figure of group of bucholic
philosophers. He was homely, SLOW
enly, and sixty.
There's where | differ from you
altog, ther," said Mr.. George t. Gra-
ham, of the same place Women
are mostly what men make 'em.
When husbands are brutes, wives
will fall into submission or make
home het for the men, and they're
unnatural in either character. Love
them, and especially be good to
them when they're sick, and you'll
have no trouble. There's my own
wife, now. She's suffered a good
deal with dyspepsia, nervous pros
tration and other ailments that took
the bloom off her cheeks and the
spring out of her steps. Well, she
saw an advertisement of Parker's
Tonic, and thought it would be Just
the thing for her case. Gentlemen,
| sent FIVE miles after bottle. She
took it. | sent again after more. So
several times. Trouble? Why, if
you could see how much good it
had done her, you would say that
women are the greatests of Gods
blessings, and Parkers Tonic is the
next"
This preparation which has been
known as Parker's Ginger Tonic,
will hereafter be called simply Par
ker's Tonic. This change has been
rendered necessary by substitutes
imposed upon their customers by
unprincipled dealers under the name
of Ginger and as ginger is really an
unimportant havOring ingredient.
we drop the misleading word
There is no change, however, in
the preparation itself, ahd all bot
ties remaing in the hands of dealers,
wrapped under the name of Parker's
Ginger Tonic contain the genuine
medicine if the facsimile signature
of niscox & Co., is at the bottom of
the outside wrapper.

Profitableness OF Farming.

There are different ways of look
ing at proftableness of farming, and
the prospect is rosy or gloomy accor-
ding to the standpoints from which
is viewed. If you want about the
most lugubrieus opinion of this
business that can be expressed, come
this way and we will show you
where you can find it. We viii GO
to some place where the fences are
lying in tumble-down ruin, the gates
hanging, by one hinge, the barn a
lop-sided, leaning pile; the barn
yard reeking swamp; the house
a leaking, dismal wreck; its win
dows stuffed with old coats and
hats-everything devoid of paint or
finish, and nothing in its proper
place or in decent condition. Ifyou
can fight your way through the door,
to the proprietor, ask him, while he
eyes you with strong suspition,
whether farming pays. Ifhe is not
afraid that his answer will give you
some opportunity OF cheating him,
he will tell you that farming is the
worst business in the world. Then,
when you have warily backed out
from among his dogs, we'll make
another visit. Let US try a farm
where fences, buildings and improve
ments are all substantial, neat and
hrst-class ; where paint, window
glass, etc, are abundant; where
everything gives evidence of thrift
and industry. As the proprietor
turns from some employment to
greet you frankly and heartily, ask
him whether farming pays. His
answer is in his surroundings. Such
contrasts are by no means fanciful,
and we have seen them quite sharp
ly defined on farms in the same
nelghborhood possessing naturally
equal advantages. 1t is a pleasure
to know that squalor is being rapid
ly and steadily driven from progress
sive modern agriculture, and that
pictures of the kind first viewed are
becoming more rare from year to
year. The farm is. as a rule. an in
dex to the character of the farmer as
On exponent of his industry and his
methods. Other things being equal
much of the success or failure of
agriculture lies in the directing mind.
II this be vigorous, thoughtful, stu
dlous, earnest, results may be de-
pended on to take care of themselves.
The bulk of the American people
are.s living. by farming, and the
growth of the country's wealth is
sufficient proof that it pays.

Mr.. Nicholson I would like

Mr.. Nicholson: | would like to
ask how much the gentleman would
claim for the Republicans provided
the vote of the two political parties
in this State were equal.
Mr.. Colborn: When that condi-
ton of things arrives | will be pre-
pared to answer the gentleman s
question. We are dealing with stub
born facts-not hypothetical cases.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof"
Mr.. Nicholson: That condition
is about here, and | would like an
answer to my question.
Mr.. Colborn Mr.. Speaker, the
gentleman had best not clay the
tlattering JUNCTION to his soul" that
the day of Democratic ascendancy
in this State is near at hand. 1t was
asserted on the floor of this House,
early in the regular session, that
this was Democratic House. We
have had sufficient evidence that
such is the case but | say to the
gentleman that it will be long day
before it will be a Democratic House
again. And it has no right to be a
Democratic House to-day. Men are
here to-day on the Democratic side
representing strong Republican dis
tricts. They are here in consequence
of little quarrel that took place in
the Republican family. They have
undertaken to cajole Stewart and
Lands into giving them aid and
comfort, but we are united and pro
pose to whip you to death next fall
and next fall a year. Applause on
the Republican side.

Household Hints.

A pretty heading for the top of a
muslin curtain is made by hemming
each edge of muslin and gathering
it in two places SO that there shall
be puff in the center and ruffle
on each edge.
When buying tin covers for ket-
ties be sure that they have rings of
wire on top instead of fat handles
soldered on, as these will not last
any perceptible length of time, and
the cover must then be thrown away.
A good present for an old lady is
a light wooden wrapper, made doub-
le, with a thin thickness of wooden
between and quilted in rather large
diamonds. Take a simple sack pat
tern, and cut it large and amlpe, so
that she can slip it on over her night
dresses.
For washing hands that have be.
come cracked or blackened, there is
nothing better than Indian meal rub
Der on with the soap. 1t not only
removes the dirt, but softens and
whitens the hands as well. For
men and boys doing farm or shop
work it is excellent, and should be
kept always at hand.
Ammonia water or damp cloth
dipped in whiting, cleans paint nice
". Sappolio is also good Cold tea
is the best thing to clean vanished
wood with. the tea and tea leaves
saved from the table for several days
and stepped will usually be sufficient.
1t removes spots, and gives much
fresher, newer appearance than
when soap and water are used
If the carpet needs freshing up af-
ter tacking down, sweep and wipe
with ilanel cloth, wrung out in warm
water with OK gall in it in the pro-
portion Of one quart of gall to three
quarts of water. The improved
appearance of the carpet will amply
repay the trouble If this is done once
in six weeks, as the rubbing raises
the pile and freshens tn colors.
One objection to ingram carpet is
the high heels which servants delight
in wearing on thick shoes seem to
catch at the threads and drag them
out of place, producing a rough sur
face; then another is that the legs of
heavy chairs have the same effect.
One way of saving these carpets is
to cover the ends Of the chairs with
rubber caps, at a cost of about II
cents. The servants heels are, of
course, amenable to no such remedy.

Eye Memory.

Look steadily at a bright object,
keep the eyes immovable on it for a
short time, and then close them.
An image of the object remains it
becomes, in fact, visible 10 the closed
ewes. The vividness and duration
of impression vary considerably
with different individuals. and the
power of retaining them may be cul-
tivated. An eccentric old man, the
once celebrated but not forgotten
Memory Thompson trained him
self to the performance of wonderful
feats of eye memory. He could close
his eyes and picture within himself
a panorama Of Oxford street and
other parts Of London, in which pic
ture every inscription over every
shop was so perfect and reliable
that he could describe and certify
to the names and occupations of the
shop-keeping inhabitants of the
houses Of these streets at certain
dates, when postoffice directories
were not as they now are. Although
Memory Thompson is forgotten, his
special faculty is just now receiving
some attention, and it is proposed to
specially cultivate it in elementary
schools by placing objects before the
pupils for given time, then taking
them away and requiring the pupil
to draw them. That such a faculty
exists and may be of great service, is
unquestionable.

The Frost that Killed the Peaches.

There will be no peaches this
year, by the way. Frost killed them
all. Every last solitary peach the
man on the woodbox remarked, with
a pathetic infection in his voice.
Which frost?' savagely demand
ed the fat passenger.
'Same-old-frost,' replied the man
on the woodbox sadly.
Same frost that killed 'em last
year, / SUPPOSE said the cross
passenger.
The same.' the man on the wood
box asserted.
And the one before that again p
the brakeman echoed.
And the man on the woodbox
bowed his head in assent.
The same old frost he said, that
kills all the apples in Michigan every
year, and DESTROYS the ice crop on
the Hudson. I've been farmer
myself, before l reformed, and I've
known snow storm in Colorado to
blight all the sugar naples in Yer
month
