st. Paul.


d. NJ Woodbury. has branch office
in st. Paul, with a partner in the
legal business. We are indebted for
a call.
The city is very full of new corners,
and the accommodations are taxed to
provide for the permanent arrivals.
The schools have opened, and the
usual number of buildings are crowd
ed to Overlooking, because the city's
rapid growth is a surprise to the board
of education. Two hundred and sixty
two teachers are at present employed,
and the number must be increased.
The teachers report themselves de-
lighted with the new superintendent
of schools. Prof 5. s. Taylor, and they
will use every means to carry out his
wishes, and do efficient work, as they
seem to feel that such will be recog-
nized, and that all aid that he can
render will be gladly given. His long
successful experience, youches for his
| skill. He came to his position under
more favorable circumstances than
any predecessor, and if the schools
do not take higher stand than ever
before, it will be for some hidden
| reason outside of superintendent and
teachers. Both begin the year with
UNPRECEDENTED zeal and in complete
harmony.
A text book in grammer and in
spelling will probably be introduced
into the schools in a short time.
Music will be in charge of a new
Superintendent of music, Prof. Coug-
don, of Brainerd, and receive full
share of attention.
Louis Rosenquist still holds his po'
sition in Aliens drug store corner OF
Seventh and Jackson, one of the larg-
est and finest in the city.
Miss Kate Putnam was transferred
from the Hendricks School to the
Garfield, as the former was not com
pleted, and begun her labors on the
9Th.
The new letter sheets, combining
stamp. envelope and paper in one
piece are now on sale at the st. Paul
IP.O. They are both cheap and handy
| and must have large sale.
People who think that drought and
insects have been bad in the st. Croix
Valley should take trip through
Iowa. The corn fields look white, as
| il frost bitten several weeks ago, from
the bugs, and pastures and medows
look absolutely dead like last years
hay in color.

The State Ticket.

We were at one time inclined to
favor an entirely "new deal" for the
ticket, but before date of convention
were convinced that Gov. Rusk should
be renominated. both as matter of
principle and policy. 1t TRANSFERRED
that a great deal of secret effort was
putting forth to nominate an opposi-
ton candidate who should command
both the Anarchist and Democratic
support. This encouragement of an
element that threatens in the near
future a development among us that
wrecks everything, commands our
serious attention and should receive a
crushing rebuke.
The cOol-headedness. decision and
bravery of Gov. Rusk during the Mil
waukee riots awakened the admiration
and gratitude of well-meaning men
the country over. Many leading
Democratic papers have advocated
his nomination by both parties, and
since his nomination many leading
Democrats of the state have expressed
their determination to vote for him
whether an opposition candidate is
put in the field or not.
Senator Ryland, candidate for Lieut.
Governor, is clean, capable, dignified
gentleman, that would fill with credit
any office in the state.
Mr.. Timme, for Secretary of State
has shown himself good officer.
Col. Harshaw, for Treasurer, like
Capt. Timme. lost an arm in the late
war and is reported brave soldier
Candor compels us, however, to say
that there are others whom we should
have preferred to see nOminated-but
we know no reason why he will not
make a good officer.
Mr.. Estabrook, for Attorney Gen
eral, is good lawyer, and in every
sense a gentleman. He was reared
in the state aud knows and loves hel
institutions.
Prof. Thayer, for Supt. of Public
Instruction, needs no introduction Il
the readers of the JOURNAL. He has
large acquaintance in the state
which means that he will run Target!
ahead OF his ticket. We understand
he is daily receiving letters from
Democrats that cherish the educa
tional interests of the state, expressive
of their pleasure at his nomination
and purpose to swell his majority.
Alley Peterson, for Railroad Com
missioner, is a whole souled fellow
and weighs over 300 pounds.
Phil. Cheek, for Insurance Commits
sioner, is the most popular man will
the Grand Army in the state.

THE JOURNAL is pre-eminently LOCAL
PAPER and as such has gained vide and
enviable reputation. 1t enjoys the proud
distinction of being in the lead in the
matter of Local Correspondence" and is
the wonder of its cotemporares as the
only paper which has successfully main
tanned, undiminished, the interest OF Its
large number of local contributors IN Its
welfare Because of its superiority as
dissemination of local news it IS widely
read without regard to the political, reh-
gious or other affiliations of those who
wish to obtain information of local ma
ture, and this is a fact worthy the careful
consideration of advertisers.
The "pay in advance" system upon
which THE JOURNAL is published long
since ceased to be an experiment, and we
find it much more satisfactory to our sub
scribers. as well as ourself, than the old
method. The especial attention of our
subscribers is directed to the following
OBSERVATIONS:
I. Subscriptions, in all cases, are pay
able in advance.
9. The date on yellow label shows the
time to which each subscription is paid.
g. When money is received the date
on label will be so changed as to include
the time for which it pays, and no sub
scriber should allow his date to be wrong
without calling our attention to the mat
ter, that any possible mistakes made may
be corrected.
4. The paper is discontinued at the
expiration of the time for which subscrip-
ton is paid, and a failure to renew before
or promptly at such time is regarded by
US as notice that the paper is no longer
desired.
5. Subscribers changing their post-of-
fee should promptly notify us, giving
former as well as present address.
6. Prompt renewals in all cases are
most respectfully solicited, and subscrib-
ers who do not wish to miss a single num-
Der should have their renewals entered
before the publication of the issue next
succeeding expiration of subscription.

DAKOTA LETTER.


EDITOR JoURNAL:-The past season has
been remarkable one here as well as
elsewhere. Mercury has been as high as
1867 for four days, 1902 for twelve days,
and ranging from So TO 90 the remain
der Of the time since the middle of June
with scarcely any rain) till the 18th of
August when it fell to CO., with light rain
and fog so dense that objects were WISH
BILE but few rods Off And yet with all
this drought and heat Richland county is
favored with an unusual good crop of
everything. Threshers report from 20 to
80 bushels of wheat per acre, and 90 TO 20
of oats. And friend visiting here from
Ohio says our corn crop is better every
way (only in acreage) than in that state.
This county has been exempt from hail
excepta small strip on Red River at Aber-
cromble.
But little breaking was done this sum
mer owing to the ground being so dry, the
low price of wheat, and the long distance
we had to haul to market in the south
west part of the county. The last objec-
ton will be removed in the near future.
Two competing railroads are being built
as fast as men and money can do 1T, rum
ming nearly parallel east and west through
the south part of the county, and not
more than half mile apart for 80 miles.
One is called the Minneapolis u Pacific,
and runs about midway between the two
Manitoba roads in Minnesota, entering
the Territory east of Campbell, Mimi.
The other is called the Duluth q Aber
deem road and is controlled by the st. Paul
X Manitoba Co. The construction trains
of both roads are in sight if the fog would
clear away, but can hear the whistle of
the engines. They expect to be ready to
receive wheat by the middle of Septem-
Der. These roads will open to market a
fine tract of country which has been
obliged 10 haul their wheat from 10 to %
miles. The principal reason why these
roads run so close to each other Is owing
to the Dakota Hills, two ranges of
hills from five to ten miles apart running
southeast and northwest. This necessi-
tates the Duluth road to run west till it
gets around the end of the hills III Sar-
gent county. Another reason is TO retail
ate ON the Minneapolis road for running
between the Manitoba roads in Mime
sofa. But our frail, selfish natures enjoy
such rivalry. JOHN MCMILLAN.

The situation at Galveston.

GALVESTON. March G.-Knights of
Labor at the Gulf, Colorado h Santa Fe
freight depot, who refused to handle the
Mallory freight, were displaced this morn
ing by colored laborers. At the Missouri
Pacific yard very few knights observed the
boycott and none were discharged. Both
companies have a number Of colored men
selected with the view Of replacing the
knights as fast az the latter drop out.
Such changes will be permanent. Rumors
of an impending general strike Of knights
throughout Texas are current here and
elsewhere in the state. Indications point
to an understanding on the part Of the
knights to quit work generally, Monday
morning, on all roads carrying Mallory
freight. There is considerable dissatisiac-
ton in the ranks of local knights, espe-
eially those employed in the great com
press establishments.

special to the Netcs says; Two hundred
and fifty employees of the shops of the In
ternational 4 Great Northern railway quit
work this morning. The strike is iuaugu'
rated to sustain the knights on the Texai

workmcn have no local grievance, th'
same having been tremendously adjusted

A Fatal Duel.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 6.-The FL
Paso Times chihuahua special gives de-
tails of a duel fought with pistols between
Trinidad Alvarez and Senior Paredezin, in
the suburbs of chihuahua, Mexico.
Three shots were fired by each.
Paredez was thrice wounded-it is be-
lieved fatally. The first two shots fred
at .Alarez missed, but the third struck
him in the forehead and killed him in
stantly. Both are prominent men in
chihuahua. The cause which led to the
duel was a quarrel between the families
of the two men, in which they became in
volved and which ended in the deceased
being challenged and accepting with the
fatal result described.
