The newly installed w. G. 7. now
read an essay on ''fhe Good Templar
order-its past, present and future
work." in which he urged the impor-
lance and necessity of all interested
in the cause OF prohibition joining
some temperance organization, and
showed the many advantages of this
order over others.
A short recess was here taken for
the purpose OF securing new members
for the lodge. after which Miss Nora
Cameron reeited a poem entitled
COLLECTIONS Answered" which very
successfully replied to the principal
faults found with the Good Templar
order.
The closing piece on the part of the
lodge was dialogue, in which Misses
Matte Cameron, Florence Yates and
Minnie Chase, and Mrs. Frank Lord
took part. The piece was executed
in fine style, the costumes being very
unique, and appropriate for the occa.
sion, and the participants performing
their parts perfectly.
Messrs. Steger and Bradford, Of
Hudson, favored the audience with a
| few able remarks, and the entertain
ment was then closed in the usual
lodge form.

Messrs. Fusselman & Haven are EN-.
gagged in selling Fire-Escape manu-
featured in Ohio. They gave an exhi-
bition CT its merits on Wednesday in
front of the fremont House and prov
ed it capable of letting down persons
of any weight from boy to full
grown man safely and easily. Mr.. Ha.
vens fastened the wire rope on the
roof Of the hotel and then having at
tatched the belt to his person dropped
from the cornice and being supported
by the escape came down gently to the
sidewalk. The experiment was re-
peated by several persons and was sue
cessful in each instance. The Escape
is composed of wire rope wound in a
metal case and provided with autom-
actic brakes which prevent too rapid
Il descent. The whole apparatus is as
compact as small clock and can be
readily carried in a satchel, it weigh.
ing but little over three pounds.

w. @. Wright, Esq, President of
the Freeport road, and M. j. Briggs,
its general solicitor, returned to River
Falls from Saltwater on Wednesday.
They report that the Saltwater people
are wide awake and anxious to secure
the road. Both are reticent as to the
ultimate course of the road, but are
evidently quite favorably disposed
towards the upper route on account of
the probable large amount of bonus,
while they admit that the most FEAST
BILE route seems to be through this
village. Still we judge that the road
Will come here if the desired aid is
obtained from the towns in which the
propositions have been filed, as the
fact of "A shorter route with probably
easier grades is greatly in our
favor, This we say simply as our in
ference from the general tone of the
conversation. We hope of course
that the road will come here in any
event, but we must confess degree
uneasiness i'll view of the earnestness
of the saltwater people.

In these there is nothing for US but
bitterness Of spirit and proyocation for
fraternal feuds, while to the common
enemy they hold out cherished prom
ises of continued dissentions and a
division Of party efforts that would
produce fresh crop Of disasters. The
marplots, thetraltors, the imbeciles and
the mercenaries have had their day,
and dark one it proved to be, but
they have been swept down the tide of
time to return no more and plague us.
Let them go.
For those who remain to regain the
lost laurels the thing to do is to bury
the internecine hatchet and brace up
for the next meeting with the general
foe.

schuyler CoIfax Dead.

Ex-vicepresident Schuyler Colfax
dropped dead in the waiting room Of
the Omaha railway at Mankato, Mimi,
on Tuesday morning last at 10:35
o'clock. The remains we're taken in
charge by the local lodge Of /. O. O. +.
and conveyed to his late home ct
South Bend, Ind. The cause Of his
death is variously attributed to heart
disease, apoplexy and to his having
walked a distance of three-fourths of a
mile to the O., M. & ST p. depot, with
the thermometer 80 deg. below zero,
Immediately after leaving a heated car.
The houseof representatives adjourned
in the afternoon in honor Of his mem-
ory. The object Of his fatal journey
is unknown, except that he stated to
friend in South Bend that ne was
about to depart to fulfil filimportant en-
in northern Iowa. Great
are being made for the
funeral, which win be celebrated as a

Let Us Bury the Hatchet.

Ut course it is not easy nor pleasant
to lay down the scepter after an IN
broken reign Of a aquarter Of q century,
but tears and chickering's among our
selves will not regain it for us. Our
cake is all dough this time, but # our
energies are to be wasted in quarfels
about the yeast we were betrayed into
using, the next baking viii not be
likely to result in a better batch.
We know we are beaten, and the
persistent pursuit Of scapegoats can
only result IN adding poignancy to the
pangs Of defeat. Why continue it
then? There is nothing in the past
worth preserving but the dearly bought
lessons Of its experience, and we should
retain them with d determination to
profit by them III che future without
indplging in the costly luxury Of mu-
fRal recrimination.

Kisses on Interest.

A father talking to his careless
daughter said: / want to speak to
you of your mother. 1t may be that
you have noticed a careworn look upon
her face lately. OF course it has not
been brought there by any act OF
yours, still it is your duty to chase it
away. want you to get up to-mor-
row morning and get breakfast, and
when your mother comes and begins
to express her surprise 60 right up to
her and kiss her on the mouth. You
can't imagine how it will brighten her
dear face. Besides, you owe her a kiss
or two. Away back, when you we're a
little girl, she kissed you when no one
else was tempted by your fever-tainted
breath and swollen face. You were
not so attractive then as you are now.
And through those years OF childish
sunshine and shadows she was always
ready to cure, by the magic of a
mothers kiss, the little, dirty, chubby
hands whenever they we're injured by
those first rough skirmishes with the
rough old world. And then the mid
night kiss with which she routed so
many bad dreams, as she leaned over
your restless pillow, have all been on
interest these long, long years. OF
course she is not as pretty and kissable
as you are; but'if you had done your
share Of work during the past ten
years, the contrast would not be SO
marked. Her face has more wrinkles
than yours, far more; and yet if you
were sick that face would appear more
beautiful than an angels, as it how
cred over you, watching every oppor-
tunity to minister to your comfort,
and every one Of these wrinkles would
seem to be bright wayelets Of sunshine
chasing each other over the dear face
She viii leave you one Of these days.
These, burdens, if not lifted from her
shoulders, will break her down.
These rough, hard hands that have
done SO many necessary things for you
will be crossed upon her lifeless breast,
Those neglected lips that gave you
your first baby kiss will be forever
closed, and those sad, tired eyes will
have opened in eternity, and then you
will appreciate your mother, but it will
be too late.

Mr.. j. B. Power, commissioner of
the Manitoba railway, says telegram
to the Pioneer Press, is, probably, one
of the most successful stockraisers of
the northwest, and has fully demon
strated, if such proof was necessary,
that cattle raising in Dakota was easily
as successful as in any other north
western section. Mr.. Power stated in
an interview that it had been frequent
ly urged upon him that he would
realize twice the sum he was now doing
if replaced the same amount of money
in Montana stock ranches. He says
that the fallacy Of such arguments
becomes evident by the free acknowl-
edgement of the Montana breeders
that their increase is only about 80 per
cent, while the increase i'll Mr.. Powers
herd in number the past year was over
70 per cent, or 10 per cent more than
double that of the focks being fatten-
ed in Montana. Last year, according
to the colonel's figures, 81, 900 head of
young cattle were shipped into Mon
tana and not over $4,000 fat animals
out. 1t is possible part Of the IN
shipment was sent in to add to the
size of the permanent herds, but it is
also true that the Montana cattle are
small and do not increase one-half as
rapidly as the stock in Dakota. Then
suppose it cost 80 each way to ship
the animals, and 50 for the winter
they remain in Montana. These are
the figures, it is alleged by Mr.. Power,
of the stockmen themselves 0ffsett-
ing these expenses to those of shelter
ing the cattle in Dakota in the winter,
and there is still handsome margin
in favor of the Dakota stock raiser,
even admitting IL at the average Il Il cii-
ties are not as good as those of MIR.
Power. 1t is claimed also that the
nearness to market of the Dakota
range gives the ranchman in that ter
ritory an advantage over his Montana
competitor, as the market is more
readily accessible to him, and he is in
better position to take advantage OF
an upward movement in the price OF
beef in the ST Paul and Chicago
markets. The danger Of cattle perish
ing by cold is probably greater in Mon
tana than in Dakota was Col. Powers
final argument In Dakota cold
weather is expected and prepared for.
In Montana the season is depended on
to be mild and genial A spell Of
stormy weather, for which no prepar-
alton is made, commits havoc among
the herds, and does much to reduce
the per cent Of increase in the numbers
1 Of the Montana ranchers focks, and
materially reduces both the per cent
Of increase as well as that of profits

-Columbia Dispatch: There was an amusing
incident connected with the election Of chair
man Of the new county board at the first meeting
on Monday, which showed that modesty is d
thing that is not allowed to stand in the way Of
self-interest, especially with the older members
Of the board. When the balloting FIRST began
for a chairman Commissioners HurIbut voted
blank, Commissioners LAWN voted for Commis-
siener Swift and Commissioner Swift voted for
LAWN. The balloting stood thus until Comnis-
| sioner Hurlbut began voting for himself, when
Commissioner LAWN allowed his modesty to be-
overruled and cast his ballot for himself, giving
him the necessary vote and consequently the
election. Bystanders say that Commissioner
Hurlbut's countenance plainly depicted his
mingled feelings Of disappointment and disgust,
but that Commissioners LAWN bore up like d
| hero. N
-ssThe first winter was in Dakota" said ali
old resident, while waiting in the postoiics q
few days ago for the mail to be distributed, q Il
was 50 burned cold that your breath would ffrsezs
and drop in Jumps to the ground. But we had
lots of fun. There were plenty Of jack rabbits,
but it was almost too cold to handle gun. SO
on clear, moonlight night We would set q;
couple Of headlight lanterns on the giistening
snow, away ont on the prair;es, and just wait to
developments. The rabbits would be attracted
| by the intense light, which would be refected
| for great distance over the snow crust, AMI
weuld all gather in circle around the lamps in
mute astonishment at the free picnic they were
having. BY and by their eyes would begin to
water from the intensity Of the LIGHT and as drop
after drop rolled down, il formed en- icicle frcsr
the ground up, which finally froze solid 10 the
eye-balls, and there we had 'em. Next morning
all you had to do was to take em by tho tail and
