DOM ELY.

Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Fritz enter
tanned pleasant party of towns people
at their home on Tuesday last. Dane
ing q pronlindnt feature of the enter
tainment was kept until early the
next morning.
Miss frankie Fosney, who has been
keeping house for brother Tom during
the summer, departed for her old
home at Lake City on Thursday last.
She carries with her the kind wishes
of the community.
Mr.. Martin Coiahan with his sister
Miss Mamie and Miss Maggie Nc
Nevan, of Morris, were in attendance
Thursday evening at meeting of the
Glee-club ct Mr.. John l.. Donnelly's.
They left for home Friday.
DR.. "A. H. Hederly, of Minneapolis,
made short visit to his farm at this
point last Wednesday. The Doctor
can now boast of one of the finest
barnes in Stevens county. 1t was
finished this week and is 4Sx95 feet;
it has accommodations for 80 head Of
horses in stalls, 80 head of cattle and
20 head of colts and calves it also has
storage capacity for an immense
amount of hay, enough we are assured
to carry the stock through series of
heavy billiards. Near by there is an
eighteen inch bored we'll, Sc feet deep,
with a windmill pump attached,
which contains an abundant supply
of water. This will prove agreat boon
to the stock, as the average farmers
we'll i. e. the sloughs, have proved
annoying failuers the past dry sum-
mer, and stock which must be driven
any distance the coming winter for
water will certainly suffer.
The good people of Donnelly seem
to have caught on to very pleasant
way to kill time the coming winter.
The Glee club which was formed some
lour weeks since, met at Mr.. and Mrs.
J. E. Favrows a week a ago last Thurs
day where they were entertained by
host and hostess with their accustom-
ed hospitality. GA splenid time" was
the unanimous feeling of the club.
On Thursday last the club met at Mr..
and Mrs. John L. Donnelly's and al
though we missed Mr.. Donnelly who
was away on his mail route, still we
had fine time. The club rendered q
number of songs very finely and the
dancing was also an enjoyable feature.

A Rotary Iron Jail.

The new Jail just completed. cost
$4,000. Its peculiar feature is that
the cells are arranged in the form of
great iron cylinder, which revolves
about so that only one cell is at tho
opening at any one time. This cylin-
deris three stories high, there being
ton cells on each floor. Its weight is
forty-five tons and this ponderous
weight is hung from above iustead of
turning on track below. The
strangest part of the arrangement is
that the great cylinder can be turned
by simple crank with very little
force-a man with his left hand
moving it readily. When all is COM
plete, it is the intention to have
little water motor in the basement,
and then by simply moving lever
the cylinder will be set to rotating.
1t is suggested that when there are
prisoners who it is feared may be try
ing to cut out the cylinder can by a
motor De easily kept moving slowly
all night, so that the prisoners do not
remain long enough in one place to
do any mischief, or even to crawl out
if they had made partial break. 1t
seems that prisoners have little chance
for escape from this new Jail. A cage
ofiron bars completely surrounds the
cylinder in which the cells are. The
entrance on each floor is guarded by
two doors. The officer standing out
side does not have to unlock even the
first door, but can swing the cylinder
around until the cell appears in which
is the desired prisoner, and then by
simple movement the inner door is
opened and the prisoner can step out
of his cell. Then the officer can open
the other door and let the man out,
but the other prisoners are way beyond
any possible reach of the officer, and
it is impossible for them to make any
break on him while he is taking a
man out or putting one in. He can
handle any number of men in the
same way, and they cannot get within
reach of him until he chooses to let
them.-Omaha Bee.

The management of the Minneapolis
TRIBUNE and the Evening Journal is
now very closely allied. twill he re-
membered that when this manage
ment first assumed control of the
Tribune that it pretended to make the
paper one of unbounded popularity
and claimed phenomenal daily adj
ditions to the subscridtion list. These
boastful claims continued until the
Pioneer Press punctured them and
caused the cold facts to leak out. Now
this same management controls the
Journal and apparently the same
tactics are again being tried. The
Journal claims to be receiving new
subscriptions at the rate of $50 per day
which rate, to say the least, is highly
improbable. We fear the enterprising
Journal is over-anXious for something
upon which to base q high advertising
rate and that it will call down upon
itself the chastissment of some :of its
incredulous contemporaries.

According to Science, the United
States has recently been compliment
ted by an eminent English authority,
Sir Lyon Playfair, on its enlightened
policy in reference to scientific inves-
tigation. In some respects, he says,
this young country is in advance Of
all European States in joining science
to administrative offices. HE points
particularly to the excellent work of
the United states Fish Commission,
and makes this amusing comparison
of the English and American methods
of promoting fisheries. In England
there are expensive commissions to
visit the coast and question the fisher
men; and the fishermen, having only
a knowledge of Q small area, give the
most contradictory and unsatisfactory
evidence. "In America, the questions
are put to nature and not to-fsher-
men," and the results of the inquiry
are therefore far more fruitful. In
this bright antithesls-questioning
nature, not the fishermen-there is a
ready answer to those who wish for
"practican science, not '.abstract"
science. Itseems practical" to ques-
tion fishermen; the process proves to
be fallacious. It seems "abstrcat" to
question nature; but this method is
found to be the surest road to positive
knowledge, and hence to the best re-
suits.

It is stated upon good authority

1t is stated upon good authority
that Jay Cooke and other capitalists
have formed syndicate for the pur-
pose of utilizing the magnificent
water-power at Duluth. Ten miles of
the st. Louis river have already been
purchased and it is proposed to build
mills along the entire distance. The
fall is so great, and yet so gradual,
that the power afforded by this stream
can be used over and over again and
dams can be built advan'age ,usly
every halfmile. With these m ,rove-
ments completed, Duluth Will be the
greatest grain market on the continent
Chicago and Minneapolis are already
beginning to play second fiddle. In
order to supply these proposed mills
with grain, it is necessary that the
territory tributary to Duluth be in
creased. Here can he found strong
additional reason for the building OF
| the Duluth Huron & Denver and
| other new lines of railway.

Evidently there are large number
of country newspapers that are hard
up. They want to ''puhlish the laws'
o: DO some thing to get some money.
Hence their booming of the extra
session business. This is the only
way in which we can account for the
senseless twaddle of some of our con-
temporaries upon the subject. An
extra session is not necessity and
the people don't want it. If decided
by popular vote, the extra session
with all Of the petty politicians and
newspapers who are nursing it, would
be buried out ofsight. In this part of
the state, at least, there are eight op-
posed to every two that favor it.

The Manufacturers Gazette says
that the absurd practice of flooding
shops, residences and offices with
circulars seems to be on the increase.
Many people seem to believe that
this is cheap way of advertising,
but it is not, for the circulars most al
ways find their way to the waste
paper basket without being read.
Life is too short to be spent in perus-
ing expensive circulars that come so
thick and fast that it is serious labor
merely to open them. The only prof.
table way to advertise is through the
newspapers. They are the "abstract
and brief chronicles of the times,n and
those who want information on any
business subject consult their columns
and most invariably run their eyes
over the advertisements while they
are in search of the news.

When few years ago, +. T. Watson
came to this county, he came to super
intend the Pleasant View Stock farm |
and it was uncertain whether he was
to locate permanently in this county
or not. Now, however,the TRIBUNE Is
pleased to note that lie has become II
permanent resident. He Is selling
his property In Goudhue county and
is investing here. He recently pur-
chased of the railway company, 500
acres of choice land joining the viii
lage limits and extending across the
Pomme de Terre river. This with q
previous purchase makes him 657
acres in that one place and means the
opening up of another excellent stock

stocked will be most valuable farm.

| Although the Manitoba and North

at this point and do not help the place
as much as they ought to do, it is
nevertheless true that because of our
connection with both roads, the grain
market is better and fuel cheaper in
Morris than ut places less fortunately
| situated. 1t is also as certain as
preaching that in the immediate
future Morris is to have still other
roads, that the present pool will be
broken up, railroad rates lowered and
the market correspondingly improved
This fact should be considered by far.

The TRIBUNE believes that exorbi-
tant freight tariffs, discrimination,
arbitrary grading of grain, etc. etc.
are but temporary evils against which
the people of the northwest will not
long have to fight. In a few years
the over-reaching greed of corpora
tions and of capitalists will create
such general and intense competition,
as will cause all of these wrongs to
right themselves. When one consid-
ers the rapid development of Duluth
and the number of lines of railway
which are now or soon will be run
ming to that tlourishing city, the
manufacturing and commercial inn
portance of st. Paul and Minneapolis
with their tributary railroads and the
permanent character of Chicago
as market and commercial center
with her large number of well estab-
lished and powerful tributary trans
portation systems, and when one
considers the fact that all of these
centers are growing and continually
reaching out in this one direction for
new business and new territory, it
will be readily seen In how much
greater demand the products and
trade of this great Northwest are soon
to be. Railroads, financiers and
business men realize the wonderful
future this country has before it and
all are anxious for foot-hold. Wait
a short time till the business interests
of these three places and the various
completed and projected lines of lrail-
way come in close competition with
each other, and you will see the pro-
ducers and consumers, of the North-
west, as masters of the situation.
