Gaily bedight, gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long, singing song,
In search of Elderads.
But he grew old, this knight so bold,
And Ger his heart shadow
Fell as he found no spot of ground
That looked like Eldorade.
And as his strength failed him at length
He met pilgrim shadow.
''Sh>dow, said he, "where can it be,
This spring of Eldorado?'
Quoth the shadows, ''For the benefit Of
humanity will state thst the FL.

kept constantly ON hand and for sale by DR..

impropriety of putting beer checks in

and threatens to give their names to

1t is far better that the boys should
give their checks to- the temperance
cause than that they. should use them
at the bar, and instead OF discouraging
the practice should it be!cnltivated. OF
course it does not add mnch to the

Il CARD.
EDITOR ADyANCE:-In your issue of
the 10th inst. find the following, a sup.
liment suppose to the commissioner
proceedings: =,
Sheriff Miller appeared before the
Board Of County Commissioners az
their recent meeting and entered cons
plaint against County Auditor Mills in
the matter Of furnishing school notices
to serve, claiming that the Auditor had
given them to other parties when the
Sheriff was the proper officer to serve
them, and also that on various occa
sions when they had been given to him
they were not furnished in time, some-
times when it required 2O-mile drive
through stormy weather. The Beard,
we understand, decided to order the
Auditor hereafter TO furnish the notices
to the Sheriff as the proper officer and
to furnish them in time for proper
service.
True, the complaint was made as
stated. The auditor explained that
with only one exception such notices
had been las an act of kindness) given
to the sheriff to serve, and pos, up.
The one exception mentioned was in 4
case where the Co. Board had them
selves directed that another person
an Interested party) should post and
serve them. The county attorney was
present and after a careful examination
of the law (Sec. 16, page 7, public school
laws of Minn.) he advised the Board
that the sheriff ,oas not the proper person
to serre and post said notices.
No action was taken in regard to it
by the Board of County Commissioners
and for that reason the matter was
omitted in the published account Of
their proceedings.
Your understanding of it was at
fault. The Board did not order me
thereafter to furnish such notices to
the sheriff as the proper officer" etc.
E. s. MILLS, Co. Auditor
We will only add to the above that
we have seen two of the commissioners
and they inform us that the Board did
decide, though not by formal resolu-
tion, to direct that such notices be
given to the sheriff for service.

The Springfield, Mass, Republican
recalls the following facts of Senator
Sabin's early life: 80:
Some of our readers remember him
when as young man, with his breeches
tucked in his boots, he used to draw
cord wood into the southern towns of
Worcester county for 81 cord. We
do not refer to his humble beginning
as a ground of political disparagement,
but as an evidence of his business sue
cess, of which he may we'll be proud.
That's the way they always go up
stairs in this country. Grant hauled
wood into St. Louis and sold it for 81
cord to get his tobacco and rum; Lin.
coin split rails; Harrison made cider
and drank it and Garfield cluckedS be-
hind a tandem team on the tow path.
If you want to be President you must
haul wood. split rails. twist hay or
catch rats and mink in the winter

How Watch Cases are Made.
-, This process of manufacture was invented
by James Boss, who started in business in
1854, and the methods and tools used in
making these watch cases are covered by
patents. This IS the only watch case made
under this process. For many years the in
PRODUCTION Of these goods was slow, owing
topopular prejudice against "plated" goods,
but gradually the public learned that the
James Boss Gold Watch Case was not a
cheap gold-washed or electro-plated article,
but was made Of genuine gold plates of
standard quality and thickness. Conscientious
adherence to the determination to make
the best watch case ever put on the market,
and the adoption of every improvement
suggested, has made the James Boss Gold
Watch Case the STANDARD. 7,.Ds Y MARK

THE NJ. & Il. II. EXTENSION,


The committee from Pipestone, men.
toned in last weeks ADVANCE, have
interviewed President Winter and have
assurances that the extension will be
built III the spring. An item in Satur.
days Pioneer Press says:
In the recent interview between AS
sistant President Winter, of the Oma-
ha, and a commission from Pipestone,
Mr.. Winter stated that he was ready to
from Woodstock to Pipestone the COM
ing summer. All the company asked
was the right OF way from Woodstock
and suitable depot grounds at Pipe
stone. 1t is the intention of the CON-
pany, said Mr.. Winter, to make Pipe
stone the terminus Of the line for some
to come, and we shall want ground
enough for extra switches, and engine
house, turn-table, depot and water
tanks. The committee promised the
right Of way, and ground necessary for
depot, etc. Surveyors are to be sent
out at once to map out the country.
WINDOW AND DUNNELL.
Mark II. Dunnell is drrailed, fgura-
lively speaking, and while lie is capable
of making powerful effort, it is safe
to presume that he will never again get
on the track. The same may be said Of
Mr.. WIN. Window. Window and Dun
nell are both politically dead, which
fact they would be wise to accept
They have stars in their crowns, which
they gained in the earlier history of
their legislative career, which their
latter-day actions are causing to grow
t1,ovr Sp,i1 1icoi vol
tire until their services are wanted,
these stars will continue to shine, but
this continual forcing of themselves
upon the people when the people are
sick and tired of them, will operate
strangely if it does not in time COM
pletely bnry them.-Tracy Trumpet.
And why politically dead? Because
two Of the ablest men of the State have
been beaten once, why are they dead
politically? Both have lifelong train
ing in public affairs, have been very
useful men, are still in the prime of
life and may be very useful yet in the
public service. Window especially has
done yeoman service III the Senate and
in the Cabinet and the whole Mississ-
ippi' valley is indebted to him for his
report and his efforts in behalf of the
improvement of the Mississippi river.
The view that Il man is politically dead
because the party went against him at
a particular election. or a particular
juncture, is wholly a partizan one. In
year or two the whole sentiment may
change and the men laid aside in one
campaign may come to the front and
lead again.
We opposed Dunnell in one campaign
because we believed he was not the real
Republican candidate and because we
always opposed his rigid machine
methods. But we do not believe him
politically dead by long rifle shot.
Men of the ability Of Window and
Dunnell may he laid aside for a time,
but they are sure to come up again with
more wisdom and efficiency because
they have been once defeated.
