FARMERS ALLIANCE MEETING.
Another Interesting Session.

We are indebted to the accommodating
Secretary of the Alliance, Mr.. John j.
Furleng, for the following facts in regard
to the meeting of Saturday last j.:
G. E. Carter presented a we'll prepared
and able paper on short-horned cattle az
being the best stock, all things considered,
for this country. Although Mr.. Carriers
arguments were backed by large expe
rience, many of the members of the ALI
ance favored other breeds of stock.
The renowned Holsteins presented the
strongest claims against the superiority
of the short-horns, while the Jerseys were
by no means forgotten by their friends
and last, but not least, the common stock
had their friends, who thought they
should be appreciated for what they had
done.
The arguments were warmly but good
naturally sustained.
F. A. Richardson then read an article
on stock-raising, entitled, "The Cow, the
Pig and the Calf" which is printed else.
where
Next Saturday an article will be pre-.
sented by II. w. Lightly on THE Most
Profitable Horse for Farmers to Raise.
Mr.. J. NJ. Sterling was requested to pre-.
pare an article for some future meeting
on '"The Proper Feeding of Cattle"

new courthouse, Saturday afternoon, al

Not Content With Being the Best.

Whatever may be said in regard to the
propensity of the management of great
railway lines to provide for the public
only what is actually demanded in the
way of accommodations and comfort, can
in no way apply to the management of
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific r. r.,
or as it is more Familiarity known, '"The
Great Rock Island Route" This line has
for years been recognized as the best and
most comfortable route between Chicago
and Kansas City and the Southwest, and
has been abundantly able on this account
to successfully cope with its competitors.
But not satisfied with this success and its
already elegant equipment, its managers
at Chicago, magnificent line of Dining
Cars which 20 into immediate service on
the K ansas City Line. These cars con-
tain all the conveniences of we'll furnish
ed dining rooms, are elegant in design
and finish, and models of the advanced
railway art of the day. Within them
meals are furnished equal to those of any
first-class hotel in the land at the low rate
of seventy-five cents. Travellers on this
line now find on its trains all the COM
forts and conveniences of first class
hotels. Besides the best of first and
second class coaches there are Parlor
Chair Cars, (Which are free to all passen-
gers holding through first-class tickets,
Pullman Palace Sleeping Cars and Din
ing Cars.
This Company's lines-all of which are
equally we'll equipped-also extend to
Council Bluffs and the West, and Mime
apolis and St. Paul and the Northwest
and the deserved praises bestowed upon
it by returned travellers who speak from
experience, make it noted throughout the
land.
We bespeak for the owners and mana
gers of this magnificent Railway ample
returns for their generous provisions for
the wants of the public, which is, as has
already been proven by the patronage ex-
tended to this line, quick to appreciate
and patronize those who prove by their
deeds and generous treatment that they
are devoted to its comfort and welfare.

death OF ADAM JOHN CHRISTIE
His illness was brief. Last Thursday he
was about town as usual. Friday he was
taken i'll, and died on Sunday morning
of pleurisy. His age was 70 years and
one month. Mr.. Christie was born in
Vermont, coming to Minnesota from
Wisconsin some nineteen years ago. He
first settled in London, Freedom county,
where he resided for eleven years. While
there he was always prominent in public
affairs. For some time he was one Of
the County Commissioners of Freeborn
county, besides having held the Offices of
Justice of the peace and town clerk of
his town. He has resided in this city for
the past eight years, where he has lived a
quiet and retired life. He leaves his
wife, aged about 70, and seven grown-up
children. His oldest son, John, was Kill
led while serving his country in the army.
His sons are: Adam E., living a mile
and half west of town; William, of
Oakland, Freeborn county; Rev. Alexan
der, pastor of Catholic church of Waseca
George, physician, also of Waseca and
Robert, living some where in the far west.
The daughters are Mrs. Daniel St. Ledger
Of this city, and Mary, unmarried, who
has always lived with her parents. The
funeral was from St. Augustine church

Don't Spill the Milk.

There is no use crying over spilled
milk" says the old saw. If you are not
only bald, but have no life in the roots of
your hair. there is no use crying over that,
either. Take both time and yourself by
the forelock while there is foreleck left.
Apply Parker's Hair Balsam to your hair
before matters get worse. 1t will arrest
the falling off of your hair and restore its
original color, gloss and softness. It is a
perfect dressing withal, clean, richly per-
fumed, cools and heals the scalp.

The Mower County Bible Society

Held its 18th annual meeting in the Con-
gatienal church Sunday evening. R. O.
Hall, the President, being absent on &C.
count of sickness in his family, Rev. G.
E. Wright, the Secretary, took charge.
Rev. E. R. Lathrop being absent from
town, the addresses were limited to Revs.
Stanley and Wright.
Rev. Stanley gave concise account of
the work of the various bible societies in
the world. He stated that the first Bible
Society was organized in 1862; others
followed, doing the work imperfectly and
without economy until the present CEN
fury, when the great Foreign and British
Bible Society" was established in London
in 1906, and since that time has printed
and circulated nearly 100000, 900 bibles
all over the world. The movement was
started in America little later, but it was
found better to mass the work then being
done by nearly 70 societies, into one, and
SO the American Bible Society was formed
in 1913, and has, since its organization,
issued nearly 100000 bibles. Three
times the U. s. has been canvassed, and
destitute families supplied. The fourth
distribution was commenced in 1875.
Last year about 100000 families were
visited, and about $4,000 copies put into
the hands of individuals. Over 1OO, 600
were put into the hands of emigrants ar
irving in New York last year.
Rev. Wright spoke on the subject of
the worth of the bible to the young. He
demonstrated by numerous and felicitous
quotations from the bible that it was an
infallible guide in practical life. He
pointed out three great sources of tempta-
ton to the young. First, evil compan-
ions. He said, one may choose his init
mate associates, but not the influence
they are to exert over him. Second, in
temperance was yet another source Of
evil, for as the old drankards die of, the
thinned ranks of the inebriates must be
recruited from the young. And the third
source of evil influence, and one not less
destructive than intemperance upon
| An~AoAo' was VIC puOllCAtAOu VI OUSceue
literature. He referred to the Police
Gazette and papers of that kind. In some
states this paper in particular is prohib-
tied. He recommended that every youth
practice, if needs be, severe self-denial,
and procure first-class copy of the Holy
Scriptures, including maps and helps, and
then study it, making it in very truth a
lamp unto their feet and light unto
their pathway.
The meeting adjourned to hold its bust.
